Chapter 97 Sacrifice
The defense measure of Redwood Town is that fifteen minutes after the alarm is sounded, if no one is taking care of it, four trains will automatically set off to the towns behind to transport reinforcements.
Although Xu Yi didn't know the details, he could make a rough guess. He took out the delay devices and four bundles of fuse explosives that the Flesh Butchers had made in excess, and asked several Flesh Butchers to assemble them on the spot.
As he didn't know the departure time of the train, Xu Yi kept an eye on it the whole time. If he couldn't assemble it in time, he would just condense the fire to ignite the explosives and throw them onto the train.
After staring intently for two minutes, the butchers assembled the explosives that could delay the explosion. After setting a time of ten minutes, Xu Yi installed four fuses on the front of the train.
The location of such an explosion would most likely be more than ten kilometers away from the train, causing the situation where even if a train from another town wanted to transport reinforcements, it would have to stop ten kilometers away and walk.
This is the second step in capturing a town—disrupting transportation and cutting off reinforcements.
With communications lost and transportation blocked, Redwood Town became an isolated place.
Listening to the faint sounds of explosions coming from outside the town, Xu Yi smiled slightly. The second mission should be completed!
By cutting off all possible channels for reinforcement, he only had to face the town's existing defensive forces.
…
Thirty minutes ago, the signals of the entire town had disappeared, letting Ling Yang know that the communication station had been captured. Fang Chengwang had originally taken away three fourth-level weapon divisions, including himself, making it four people. Together with the fourth-level shield division at the communication station, the loss of their own fourth-level combat power had reached five, which was half of the garrison force in Redwood Town.
Five minutes ago, he heard several explosions in the distance, exactly the same as the ones in the mountain. The energy in the evil knife suddenly poured back into his body, and his eyes seemed to be stained with darkness.
He didn't know whether his good friend who he had worked with for many years was alive or dead, and half of his reliable subordinates were also dead, but these did not cause him a fatal blow. Under the influence of the evil spirit, a sense of loneliness and courage surged in his heart.
Different from Junior Brother Tang who was in the early fourth stage at Wangxi Ai, his Sha Dao Yun Bing Jue had already been cultivated to the middle fourth stage. The mysterious aspects of the inherited Yun Bing Jue had been initially manifested. This was the stage when a blade master began to merge with the state of mind of the weapon he was nurturing.
Evil Blade - Anger, this is the path Ling Yang has chosen for himself, and blending with anger is his practice.
At this moment, the sword intent was flowing back. Usually he was impulsive and irritable, but in this state he was no longer affected by his angry mood and became clear-headed.
The last move of the other party was to blow up the long-distance passenger bus that sent out a distress signal to the surrounding area. So what would he do next?
Continue to cause damage to the facilities in Hongmu Town? Or wander around to wipe out the second-level patrol blade division?
None of them. The distance between the communication station and the long-distance bus station is more than 20 minutes. The two actions are most likely not done by the same group. So his goal is probably to destroy along the way and reunite with his teammates!
"Everyone, form a fan shape to surround the two-kilometer area around Redwood Square! All of you Level 4s, follow me, surround them!"
…
While clearing out the second-level weapon masters that kept appearing on the road, Xu Yi moved towards the place where the alarm sounded before. Ling Yang, who was infused with the sword's will, was right. He really wanted to establish contact with the other team first.
Walking out of the street, the front suddenly opened up. It was a circular square with a fountain in the center. However, such an open area on the battlefield often meant murderous intent!
I only heard a quick cry: "Be careful!"
Xu Yi looked up suddenly, and found that the rooftops of the buildings around the square were densely packed with feather masters standing in half a circle. Nearly three hundred round light balls drew long parabolas and shot towards him from all directions.
Divine Art, Wind Barrier!
Divine Art, Wood Vine Entanglement!
The first to attack was not Xu Yi, but Du Yuanfei and Ren Yayi in another street.
Facing the sudden rain of arrows, Xu Yi was also stunned and reacted a beat slower, but his next action was very simple and effective. He took out the spell scroll and activated it!
Three ice balls were shot out, offsetting these third-level energy balls for a while, and then two defensive magic spells were added in front of Xu Yi. What made Xu Yi hesitate was the flesh and blood cannon, but this skill was completely too late to cast.
What touched Xu Yi's heart was that during the battle, the flesh and blood butchers whose mutation slots had condensed into bone armor took a step forward one after another. They only had time to make this one move.
The wind wall deflected a small part of the light ball and was submerged by the energy. The wooden wall only withstood a dozen arrows before it collapsed. Before Xu Yi and a group of flesh and blood butchers were submerged by nearly two hundred energy light balls, countless white energies gathered in the front...
The various colored lights faded away, revealing a scene even more tragic than a missile attack. Broken limbs and broken bones were scattered on the bumpy ground. The demigod incarnation disappeared, replaced by the huge figure of the virtual colossus.
The three-meter-long tentacle was almost blown off in half, with only half left hanging behind.
At some point, Xu Yi directly used the scroll of [Injust Game] to swap the virtual colossus over and block it in the front.
But even so, the Flesh and Blood Butcher fell to the ground.
After Du Yuanfei used a ninth-level divine art of group recovery, three flesh and blood butchers were still unable to stand up.
Among them, the flesh and blood butcher who was standing in the front, Xu Yi remembered that he had stacked up five layers of bone armor, but he could never get up again.
Paladin Ector and Saint Jay both rushed forward. Ector was almost unharmed thanks to his spell-like [Holy Armor], but Jay fell down.
Behind the building, a group of cursed spirits launched a silent counterattack, which was almost a massacre for the Feather Master who was incapable of close combat.
However, the main force of the Redwood Town garrison appeared in front of the square. There were two rows of fifty shield masters, followed by two rows of spear masters, and then nearly three hundred sword masters. Ling Yang ignored the attacked feather masters and led this team to charge!
...
At some point, Du Yuanfei had come behind Xu Yi, and seeing his absent-mindedness, he couldn't help but sigh.
After all, he is a saint. Even if his faith has reached the level of a lower-level devout saint, he may lose himself in his faith and turn into a fanatic at any time.
It is not certain to produce a saint out of a thousand fanatics, let alone a family as small as Xu Yi's.
Her faint voice rang out: "From now on, it all depends on you."
When Xu Yi came back to his senses, an endless amount of pure white light lit up. Ninth-level magic, resurrection magic!
Even though Du Yuanfei had accumulated more than 20 points of divine demigod soul, she was a little overwhelmed by using two ninth-level magics in a row. In the following battle, she could not cast a single high-level magic.
