Chapter 52: Shadow Lost its Anchor On the balcony, 10 mercenary crossbowmen and 20 mercenary sentinels fired their crossbows in unison. In front of the castle gate, the Swadian infantry, who were already exhausted and panting, were still struggling to hold up the fan-shaped shield in front of them with their left arms, trying their best to withstand the enemy's wave-like attack. There are less than 35 Swadian infantrymen left, and they are all injured. Their fatigue and injuries make them unable to even fight back. They could only use their shields to form a low wall, grit their teeth, and try their best to prevent the enemy from approaching the castle. By the way, the crossbow arrows fired by the mercenary crossbowmen and mercenary sentinels overhead were crackling like rain, hitting the pig-headed men who were rushing over, causing blood to bloom and their faces to be covered in blood! At such a close distance, the crossbow arrows fired by either a war crossbow or a light crossbow are extremely penetrating. The destructive power is even stronger. And because the distance is very close, it is no more than 20 meters from top to bottom. Therefore, as long as the vital points are hit, those ugly pig-headed men without helmets and only with leather armor on their chests will wail.
Then, because his head was pierced by a crossbow arrow, he fell to the ground and was completely silent! 30 long-range crossbowmen fired at close range from the balcony. Almost instantly, more than a dozen of the pig-headed men that were rushing over fell down, effectively alleviating the impact pressure faced by the Swadian infantry! At this time, the crossbow that had been prepared long ago had already locked onto its target - A fat pig-headed elite leader with a faint white light all over his body, who has a completely different appearance and characteristics from the spiritual creatures around him. He was transformed from a human from Blue Star into a pig-headed elite leader after swallowing the mysterious object! "Aim! Fire!" The mercenary sentry in charge of the firing slammed the wooden hammer down heavily. 'Boom! ' Then the trigger of the crossbow was smashed down heavily by a wooden hammer, instantly releasing the stuck crossbow string. The force accumulated in the bow arm is converted into kinetic energy in the spear. 'Om! ' The spear turned into a black shadow and flew from the balcony on the second floor of the castle, as if tearing through the space, and smashed with a bang onto the pig-headed elite leader who was raising the flail hammer and wanted to launch a fierce attack on the Swadian infantry in front of him! That's right, it's a smash! The spear that was shot out directly from the balcony was itself a typical example of a powerful flying brick. The sharp iron spear tip had almost no resistance and smashed through the pig-headed man's chest, and with that huge force, it continued to smash towards the abdomen of another pig-headed man following closely behind. The terrifying force even penetrated the abdomen of the pig-headed man, piercing most of it and piercing the thigh of the third pig-headed man! Kill three birds with one stone! Then, the first one, the blue star human who had eaten the mark fragment to complete the frequency resonance and turned into a pig-headed man, looked down at the bloody hole on his chest in disbelief, opened his mouth, and suddenly lost all the strength in his body and fell heavily to the ground. Including the ordinary pig-headed follower behind him, he also collapsed to the ground wailing, holding his stomach with his intestines torn apart. Then, more pig-headed men with red eyes rushed up from behind and stepped on him. Completely drown out the wailing sounds! "Keep shooting!" Beside Shen Mu, the mercenary crossbowmen looked delighted. They reloaded their crossbows and continued to pull the trigger at the densely packed pig-headed men, without any need to aim. I only heard the continuous 'whooshing' sound of breaking through the air in my ears.
Another seven or eight pig-headed men fell down. It also gave the already miserable and almost dying Swadian infantrymen precious time to rest and take over. At the same time, the Lake Rat Gang members, whose backpacks were refilled with javelins, began their actions. Arrange in several rows. These veteran thugs of the Lake Rat Gang stood in the front, and behind them were the newcomers of the Lake Rat Gang. They pulled out their harpoons and darts with their backhands. Taking advantage of the 1-meter space above the heads of the Swadian infantrymen, who were left with only their shields and were banging with flails and hammers, he turned the javelins in his hands into a standard arc and threw them hard! It just replaces the time when the mercenary crossbowmen and mercenary sentinels have idle firepower after a round of volleys! Compared to the shooting of crossbowmen. These javelin-type weapons are supposed to kill enemies within a range of 20 meters. The destructive power is also stronger! 'Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!' Sharp and slender harpoons and harpoons whizzed past the heads of the Swadian infantry. Then with a loud bang, it stabbed the pig-headed men who were still rushing forward with red eyes due to anger and bloodthirstiness. It pierced deeply into their leather armor and penetrated into their fat bodies! Javelin weapons are specifically used to break armor and shields! "Buzz...Bang!" Then on the balcony, the crossbow that had been winded up by the winch again blasted out the stuck spear, and once again unleashed its destructive power. Another three or four pig-headed men were pierced on the spot by the spears that shot in an arc like a flash. There was even an unlucky pig-headed man who was pierced by a spear and turned into a candied haws! Some of them have a faint glow all over their bodies. Because this was Shen Mu's order. What was required was that the three mercenary sentinels operating the crossbows should focus their main shooting targets on the pig-headed men whose bodies were glowing with faint light. This is not just to complete temporary tasks in the Mount and Blade system. And because Shen Mu discovered... All of these beings, whose bodies are glowing with a faint light, are transformed from humans from Blue Star. As for the humans on Blue Star, according to the information Shen Mu has learned now, they are the commanders of the spiritual creatures, the grassroots officers and soldiers of the spiritual creatures, and the anchor point for the spiritual creatures to live on Blue Star! "My predecessor vaguely remembers that as long as the Blue Star masters of those followers are killed, these spiritual creatures will lose their anchor points and be exiled by the rules of the Blue Star back to where they are supposed to be." Shen Mu's eyes swept across the battlefield. Change did happen at this time. After he killed those Blue Star humans whose bodies were glowing with light and whose fighting power was even stronger than that of ordinary pig-headed men, some of the pig-headed men around him indeed turned into nothingness on the battlefield after a short period of fighting. This scene made Shen Mu suddenly think of the robber he had let go.
Including the robber Nalot who was a bankrupt businessman. When he left with large and small bags, which were said to be some spiritual items, he also turned into a shadow and slowly faded out of his base. These pig-headed people nowadays look almost the same. "Just now, when I was showing weakness to the enemy and killed a few of those guys who were obviously ragtag troops, it seemed that there were about a dozen spirit world creatures that were still howling in anger and were seriously injured, and they turned into phantoms..." Shen Mu also made the connection at this time. However, those ragtag troops finally rushed forward without regard for their own lives. But it was still those followers from the spiritual world who took the lead. Therefore, few contract workers died. Even if the contract worker died, his spiritual followers would continue to stay on Blue Star for a short period of time, about five or six minutes. And because of the influence of the bloodthirsty and violent power, they were still attacking Shen Mu's troops frantically. Then he was killed and turned into a corpse. Without the power of rules, his body was left on the Blue Star, making it difficult to see the spiritual creatures that had turned into shadows in the previous battle. Only now, those Blue Star humans who had transformed into pig-headed men were named one by one by Shen Mu's crossbows. So under the precise shooting. It turned out that as long as Shen Mu held the front line and waited for five or six minutes, he would naturally turn into a shadow and disappear in the corridor. Ten minutes later, the breeze from the Suno Plain behind us disappeared. The Swadian infantrymen were still holding on. Even the veteran thugs and newcomers of the Lake Rat Gang had thrown all their javelins and picked up their woodland axes and small-blade axes and began to move forward to replenish their front line. In the corridor, there were only four or five pig-headed men with white glow all over their bodies. And a group of less than a hundred pig-headed people. As for the entire corridor. At this time, the ground was covered with a thick layer of pig-headed men's corpses, almost one meter long. Filled with arrows and javelins. They fell all over the corridor, forming obstacles like sandbags. It would be even more difficult for the remaining pig-headed men to launch an attack! "Sure enough, heavy cavalry galloping in the corridor is just a whimsical dream." Shen Mu was standing on the balcony at this time, looking at the corridor whose flat terrain had been completely changed by the corpses. He narrowed his eyes slightly and put his hand on the hilt of the sword. Then Shen Mu turned around and walked towards the spiral staircase. Only his voice remained: "Keep shooting freely!" And the magic that was activated again after communicating with the system in my mind - "Use the low-level supply ring!" 'Om! '
Regular fluctuations diffuse. Data streams transformed into white light, directly covering all soldiers with long-range consumable weapons. Whether it is a crossbow arrow, a harpoon or a harpoon dart, or a spear shot from a crossbow. All quantities have been refreshed at this time. At this time, Shen Mu came to the castle hall, looked at the 10 Swadian heavy cavalrymen still on horseback, and directly drew out the silver-colored Holy Tree Cavalry Sword from his waist. He ordered in a serious tone: "All heavy cavalry, prepare to charge!" "Yes!" The 10 Swadian heavy cavalry immediately checked their equipment, held their spears tightly under their armpits, and controlled their horses to stand side by side behind Shen Mu. "Open the castle gate!" Shen Mu ordered the Swadian recruits. Immediately, a Swadian recruit ran over, removed the bolt, and then slowly opened the two thick castle doors inwards. The door hinge creaked harshly. 'call! ' A strong smell of blood, mixed with a foul odor, suddenly flooded into the castle hall. Along with it, there was also the noisy shouting and killing! "Now!" Shen Mu glanced behind him and saw the 10 Swadian heavy cavalrymen who had not consumed any energy at all. He slowly exhaled and strode forward: "It's time to finish these two temporary tasks!" Recommended a friend's "This God is Genuinely Evil": "What, this evil god requires us to practice for seven hours every day, receive top-level skills for free, can only pray during rest time, and also distributes elixirs?"
