Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 901 883. Rhythm [Combat Skills]

"Du~"

A long bugle sound came from the mouth of the guard on the gate tower of the bridge entering the city.

Although the sound was loud, it seemed that it could not travel very far.

If you want to notify the knights in Lothric City, maybe the horn itself has magic.

And sure enough, just as Lan En expected.

The rioters mixed in the crowd, as well as the Lothric knights who wanted to suppress the riot, paid no attention to the other pilgrims on the bridge at this moment.

In other words, it was the plan of these rioters to use these pilgrims as a cover for their actions.

"Zizzi!"

The small golden [Thunder Gun] was still flickering in the dark crowd, shooting towards the flying dragon in the sky and the guards on the gate.

Those guards seemed to be just low-level soldiers of Lothric City.

There is no strong and solemn armor and weapons like the knights.

Most of them only wore chain mail linings and leather outer coverings, and their combat prowess was ordinary to the naked eye.

The [Miracle] of these attackers hit them. Even if a shield was set up for protection, the [Thunder Gun] could still directly blast through the shield and kill the soldiers behind them.

The initial target of these attackers was dragoons. These ordinary soldiers were not at the same level to them.

But fortunately, the Lothric guards on the gatehouse completed their work.

There were several loud "clang" sounds in a row.

Many gatehouses on the bridge have lowered their iron gates neatly, dividing the entire bridge into several small sections that cannot be connected.

Groups of rioters were separated.

Behind this section where Lan En huddled, the huge and heavy 'bridge guard' was also attacked and began to fight the attackers.

It let out a deafening roar.

The hammer head, which was the size of a small house, swept across the ground without mercy.

Whether it is an ordinary pilgrim or a lurking attacker, there is no time or conditions for screening.

So after the huge hammer swept across, there was only a large, ferocious mass of flesh and blood left on the ground.

A dump truck driving into the crowd couldn't be worse than this.

In addition to the fact that they regard death as a "piracy", the pilgrims also seem to have a basic desire to survive.

They took difficult steps, supported their bodies with crutches, and scattered around trying to stay away from the dangerous battlefield as much as possible.

As they staggered forward, they shouted in dry voices: "Devil. That stray devil is crazy!"

The pilgrims have been wandering on the verge of death for so long that most of their brains have turned to mush.

Therefore, regarding the current situation, we are just shouting in panic without knowing the full picture.

This also let Lan En know that the race of the 'Bridge Guard' was really a [Devil].

I just don’t know what the definition of [Devil] is in this world.

However, when Lan En took a look, what flowed out from the attackers' attacks on the stray demons was not blood, but hot, bright red lava.

He knew that the [Devil] here must be different from the definition in his mind.

However, Lan En doesn't have time to understand the devil now.

It seems to be because of Lan En's blocking behavior at the beginning, and because he did prevent the dragoon from losing the ability to fly under the first [Thunder Gun] shot.

Therefore, these attackers acquiesced and included Lan En in the scope of the attack.

"Sizzling~"

The golden [Thunder Gun] flew towards Lan En with a series of trails left in the air.

These thunder and lightning generated by [Miracle] are obviously different from the blue thunder of Qilin.

Kirin's lightning follows the laws of nature, and the reason for its attack power is the powerful voltage.

Therefore, when attacking, the sound of thunder and lightning is sudden and loud. It was like a flash of thunder in the sky.

And these supernatural golden thunder and lightning are more of a "sizzling" sound of chaotic electric current.

Seven or eight [Thunder Spears] flew towards Lan En from all directions!

The demon hunter didn't want to test whether [Thunder and Lightning Return] could cope with these supernatural thunder and lightning in this killing field, so he chose to dodge.

A spiral wind swirled around his legs.

Lan En's tall and muscular body disappeared like smoke, and when he reappeared, he had moved two positions away.

And those [Thunder Guns] were accurately intertwined in his position just now, without causing any harm to him now.

The attackers on the opposite side are not low-level, and [Miracle] is also very accurate, but that is why it is difficult to hide.

Lan En, who dodged the concentrated fire of [Thunder Gun], arrived at the nearest attacker according to the path planning.

The attackers had obviously never seen the mobility of techniques like [Acceleration].

So when Lan En suddenly came to him, the attacker was still in a daze.

However, his good combat literacy still allowed him to instinctively start attacking enemies with melee weapons.

Because the attackers were hidden among the patrollers, they could not use long weapons that would not be covered by the black robes.

Therefore, half-hand swords, sword-and-shield combinations, one-handed hammers, and one-handed axes are common weapons.

This man was holding a half-sword in his hand.

He pressed the weighted ball on the hilt of the hand-and-half sword with his chest and bumped straight towards the witcher, hoping to use his weight to press the hand-and-half sword and stab the enemy directly to death.

But this kind of move is too crude in front of Lan En.

On the retina, Mentos instantly sketched out a mechanical analysis diagram of the enemy and ourselves.

Lan En, who has long been accustomed to this kind of vision, calmly made a judgment at the moment when the blades intersected.

His body "floated" half a step to the side with a lightness that was not in line with his body shape, and at the same time he lifted up the boots with external armor plates.

With a "bang", the sword blade coming from the opposite side was stepped on by his side.

Facing the enemy in an unprecedented way, even though he was wearing a black robe similar to that of a pilgrim, his face could not be seen clearly.

But the attacker's fear and disbelief were still strong enough to be expressed in his body posture.

After looking sideways to see through the thrust, Lan En's hand directly grasped the attacker's skull.

At the same time, Mentos also collected corresponding information through this physical contact.

These men indeed came prepared, with fine armor beneath their robes.

Lan En simply used his hands to force the enemy's head away and tilted it to one side, exposing the root of his neck.

Then Arondette stabbed it directly from the base of the neck!

"Pfft!"

The long knife was thrust diagonally downward into the junction between the root of the neck and the collarbone, slicing through skin, flesh, and bones, and finally the tip emerged from the enemy's ribs on the other side.

Lan En's fighting rhythm is too fast.

So much so that the warriors in this world simply cannot understand it.

Lan En had communicated with Leonard once or twice before.

The fighting style of warriors in this world is generally traditional Western swordsmanship.

That is to say, more attention is paid to mental deception, tactical induction, confrontation, and seizing opportunities in battle, so the normal situation is to fight back and forth.

Unless the basic quality difference between the two sides is really huge, the battle will end in a short time.

But before Lan En showed a huge difference in basic quality, he just relied on his skills to complete a series of high-intensity responses and kill instantly.

This was completely incomprehensible to the local soldiers.

The local warriors will specialize in one or two sets of relatively powerful moves, and their proficiency in these moves can even allow their souls to imprint the moves on their weapons.

This is also one of the results of the fact that in this world, souls are relatively easy to be contacted, studied, and influenced.

Powerful moves are engraved on the weapons. As long as the warriors pick up the weapons, they can ignore the ups and downs of their own status when using this move, and display the most perfect and standard posture of this move.

This is why when Lan En was in the Netherworld Church and the church knight held a big sword and performed a fierce and sharp spinning slash, there was a supernatural shadow in his movements.

Because it is not a simple action, but it brings the power of the soul.

This is the supernatural power of warriors in this world: they imprint moves onto their weapons with their souls, and as long as they can hold the weapon, they will automatically be able to perform the moves on the weapon perfectly.

This kind of move that meets the standard of soul engraving is called [Combat Skill] locally.

However, there is only one [Combat Skill] on a weapon.

Therefore, in this world, warriors regard supernatural [combat skills] as the final word or a key factor that affects the battle situation.

In the long trial and consumption phase of the sword fight, in the end, ordinary slashing and parrying took up most of the time.

What dominates the battle rhythm is still the game of thinking and tactics, deception, and the grasp of fleeting opportunities.

While Lan En stabbed an enemy in the chest, he threw the limp corpse behind him without even looking.

"Sizzling~"

After a few chaotic noises like electric current, all the flying [Thunder Guns] hit the corpse, immediately exploding the corpse into a bloody mess.

These attackers can immediately come back to their senses when shocked beyond their own common sense. Their quality cannot be said to be bad.

However, even in terms of reaction speed alone, Lan En, who has transplanted the [Song Gland] in his brain, is far ahead of them.

"[Alder], bang bang bang!"

The projectile in his hand was activated three times in a very short period of time, before the flesh and blood that was blown into pieces in mid-air was spilled on the ground.

The supersonic projectiles made three holes in the blood curtain and hit the attackers who were chanting miracles.

These projectiles combine the firing power of the catapult and the driving force of the seal.

Even if it hits the dragons with strong vitality in the monster world, it is enough to make them stagger.

At this time, it is even more 'outstanding' in humans.

The three attackers behind the blood curtain immediately flew backwards.

Those were special projectiles rolling inside their bodies, producing huge thrust.

The movement of the three people hitting the bridge fence behind them was like three powerless rag dolls.

The blood brought out from the breach left hideous traces on the fence like a splatter.
