Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1415 1387. Fake magic-blocking gold?

With one hand, he held up the three White Rose Knights who were already being crushed to death by the pressure from the front and back, while with the other hand, he was at ease, even a little carelessly defending against the chaotic attacks from the back row of the opponent.

Whether it was the long weapons of the back row of the opponent, or the arrows shot from the crossbow machine on the stairs behind, they were all completely blocked by Lan En with a mere standard half-hand sword.

The "linear defense" composed of the iron bar, under the extraordinary technology, was almost like a shield, and turned into a "surface" defense.

Amid the noisy war roars and curses, the sound of the crossbow arrow flying was almost inaudible.

But Lan En still shook the tip of the sword slightly, and the crossbow arrow that could not leave a shadow captured by the normal human eye in the air was lightly knocked away.

"Break the witchcraft! Break the witchcraft!"

The knights who were squeezed in the back and shouted loudly but still could not make any progress continued to push forward while shouting.

"Use the magic-blocking gold arrowhead! Damn idiot! Let the eternal fire take you away!"

But the crossbowman in the back had a complex expression of shock and anger.

His anxious and fearful perspective shifted back and forth between his crossbow and quiver, and the figure blocking everyone.

"What do you think I used?! It was the magic-blocking gold arrowhead! It was magic-blocking gold! But... But he didn't react!"

The narrow staircase could only accommodate three armed knights in a row. The shouting and yelling of dozens of knights gathered at this time made this stairwell, which could already echo, even more chaotic.

But even so, the unbelievable shouting and cursing of the knights holding crossbows in the back still cast a heavy shadow on the hearts of the White Rose Knights.

"Swindler! Liar!"

"These stunmetals are fake!"

Even though they were so exhausted that they had to shout to speak, the knights still cursed subconsciously.

The interference of stunmetals on chaotic energy is unquestionable, and countless warlocks have proven it at the cost of their lives in the past two hundred years.

This naturally blue anti-magic metal has become a strategic material as soon as it was discovered in Kovir.

Related mineral veins have been discovered one after another, but Kovir still accounts for three-quarters of the continent's stunmetal production, and is also an important fiscal income for the northernmost country of the continent.

The effectiveness of stunmetals is beyond doubt.

And the swordsmanship and strength displayed by the enemy in front of him must be evil witchcraft!

In this case, of course, there is something wrong with the stunmetals purchased by the Knights! Either it is a fake with dyed color, or it is an inferior product with insufficient purity!

Stunmetals is a good business to make money, and metal trade has always been priced by weight since ancient times.

Ordinary metals were mixed into the raw ore of the magic-blocking gold for smelting. The extra weight of the ordinary metals added was based on the price of the magic-blocking gold.

This was not new, but the White Rose Knights obviously did not expect that the magic-blocking gold purchased by the Knights and the resources of the Church of the Eternal Fire could be adulterated to this extent!

He didn't react at all when he hit the sword of the witchcraft user? !

But while the White Rose Knights were cursing the inferior magic-blocking gold, they looked at the huge figure who was blocking the entire staircase and remained motionless despite the impact of several tons.

The deep darkness under the cloak made their hearts tremble, and they couldn't help but have an absurd thought--

Is this situation really a problem with the magic-blocking gold?

Lan En didn't care whether it was a problem with the magic-blocking gold, he just felt that he could move forward.

The hand in front slowly made a "clack clack" sound in the originally stalemate confrontation.

That was the sound of the buckles and belts on the armor being tightened by the bulging muscles!

The surging power was mobilized. When Lan En stepped on the ground, people could almost hear the sound of his boots crushing and grinding the large stone bricks on the ground!

When the whole staircase was designed, this level of power confrontation and crowd density were not considered!

The long and narrow stone steps that were spliced ​​and bitten together made an unpleasant stone friction sound!

That was the stone being squeezed and shifted!

The whole bluestone staircase was about to be crushed by the power confrontation!

But Lan En was still adding strength!

Dozens of armed knights who filled the stairs were pushing and pushing against the opposite side, and they couldn't stop retreating!

The armor on their bodies collided with each other, and the veins on their faces under the helmets were bulging and the blood was surging, but they couldn't stop retreating!

A long sword casually blocked the halberd and even the hammer with one hand.

Lan En's hand was always steady, but the long sword often couldn't hold up.

After all, the long sword has a structural disadvantage compared to the halberd and the war hammer.

But it doesn't matter.

After a sword was broken, Lan En seemed to completely ignore the swords and spears above the enemy's crowd. He simply threw away the long sword with a distorted and broken blade, and reached out to grab a new weapon from the enemy's camp.

Finally, after squeezing all the knights to the middle of the stairs and going up.

Lan En glanced down at the staircase floor under his feet in the rain of swords, spears and arrows.

He lifted his heavy and powerful boots slightly first, and then stomped down hard!

"Bang! Ka!"

The force point calculated by Mentos directly broke the stable structure of the stairs!

Starting with a crisp sound of stone cracking, the sound of "clacking" continued!

The crowded crowd did not have any time to react. The next moment, with a heavy "boom", the crowd in front of Lan En disappeared.

The stones that made up the stairs collapsed and fell to the ground.

This place is not very high, only three meters or less than four meters.

But the heavy step stones were still broken in the collision, splashing out fine lime smoke.

And those knights wearing plate armor and weighing a lot suddenly became much quieter after falling.

A knight with a plate armor increased his weight, and even falling off the horse would have the risk of breaking his neck and half of his ribs.

In this situation, the ground below is not the soft and cushioned land and grass in the wild, but the hard ground with edges and corners formed by the newly broken step stones.

Lan En simply glanced down and saw several knights who had already pushed out a sharp blunt angle from the middle of their backs to their chests.

Even if you bend your back when practicing yoga, at least your back is arched, which creates an angle.

These people were lying or pressing on angular stones, and internal bleeding caused blood to flow out of their mouths, nostrils, and ears.

The noisy and crowded shouts and screams just now seemed to have been instantly stopped.

There was only a little fearful low roar when life was about to disappear.

At the top of the stairs, on the edge of the section that was not affected by the collapse just now, two White Rose Knights holding crossbows who had not rushed forward just now were staring at this scene in a daze.

But then, they saw the huge cloaked figure that they had just glanced down, and the hood of the black shadow was raised and looked at them.

They subconsciously ran up immediately.

But before they could turn around, after a burst of "clicks" from the mechanism biting, the two people seemed to be grabbed by something and flew back, leaving two dull sounds of falling to the ground.

——

That was not the first staircase that Lan En had demolished. In fact, he had demolished all the stairs in this tower. Just now, because there were too many knights, he had a direct confrontation.

Now, there is no way for people to go down the entire tower smoothly.

Fortunately, this is not the riot caused by the fire as described by the people who were shouting in panic in the castle. So the flames will not burn up step by step.

But unfortunately, this is not a fire. The White Rose Knights have to deal with a fire that can be contained.

"What is going on?!" Rudolf Valaris, the current leader of the White Rose Knights, is not wearing a normal lining under the plate armor breastplate at this time, but a pair of pajamas that are obviously put on temporarily.

He asked loudly with bulging eyes: "Who are the invaders? How many people are there?"

"By the Eternal Flame, it's been ten minutes! Don't you know anything?"

"It's not a fire!" In the hall where people were running around, at the other end, an Eternal Flame preacher was shouting, "The Eternal Flame protects us! The fire can't hurt good people!"

He was holding a religious book in his hand and wearing a fiery red felt hat on his head, which was very distinctive.

"Knights gathered under the Eternal Flame! Go bravely fight the enemy! The fire will only burn away the unclean!"

"We don't know how many people there are, Captain!" The knight reported to Rudolf Valaris, and he swallowed nervously, "But there must be a lot!"

"I just looked down, and the people who rushed down before did not appear in the castle's courtyard. The conscripts there are still in a mess."

The knight's pupils trembled, but he still tried to calm himself down and reported to the captain who was wearing pajamas under the armor.

"Not one appeared."

He repeated it again with a stutter.

So the captain, who was just panicking and furious, calmed down now.

This was not the calmness that came from a good psychological quality, but the "seeming calmness" that was almost collapsed after being oppressed by the sudden situation.

He knew too well what this meant.

Now there was no White Rose Knight in the tower appearing in the open space in the castle courtyard to control the scattered conscripts, which meant that no one had survived in the ten minutes of the sudden change!

After realizing this, both Captain Rudolf and the knights around him who had vaguely heard the news swallowed their saliva and turned their heads stiffly in one direction.

- The location of the gate of the tower hall.

And as if responding to their gaze.

"Bang!"

A dull and violent explosion! Accompanied by the shaking of the solid wood and iron gate, it suddenly came!
