Soul echo

Chapter 119 The Door ([-])
On the outside of the city wall, there are all kinds of houses, including wooden houses, mud tile houses, and simple and rough thatched houses.

Those who live outside the city are not necessarily poor people, they may also be farmers, or simply want to be quiet.

Now, those houses were ablaze, and the flames were spreading from house to house.

When the fleeing brigade arrived outside the city, the place had already turned into a sea of ​​flames, and the road leading to the city was filled with flames and monsters.

On the way, Zhong Ye asked the team to change their formation. He had already expected this kind of thing to happen, so he asked the soldiers to stand in the front row of the team.

Many of them were injured by Zhong Ye to the dominant hand, but they still had the other hand, which was barely able to meet the shooting conditions, but they couldn't load gunpowder and bullets.

Although these soldiers are the private soldiers of the Grand Duke of Milan, they have undergone professional shooting training, and their accuracy is much better than those of the nobles—except for those who like to hunt.

The nobles who participated in the banquet were not only cowards, some nobles also took muskets from the soldiers, walked to the front row of the line, and aimed at the deformed bodies.

"Three, it's time for you to play!"

Walking in the sea of ​​flames, Zhong Ye grabbed the horse that was about to escape, and turned to look at the three extraordinary men in the team.

The three Transcendents looked at each other awkwardly, then walked out of the team silently, protecting their sides.

The thin man whose legs and hands were broken by Zhong Ye's kick was riding on a horse, and he tried his best to control the mount so that it wouldn't move around.

The position of the three of them is very embarrassing. They all rushed to kill Zhong Ye before, but they were all defeated by Zhong Ye. Logically speaking, they should resent Zhong Ye, but Zhong Ye saved their lives again...

The aberrants have strong vitality, and there will often be situations where they cannot be killed after being shot several times. At this time, it is time for the three extraordinary men to take action.

In addition to the task of giving the mutant body the last blow, the three extraordinary people also patrolled around the team to prevent the mutant body from jumping out from the side and attacking the team. people.

The team moved forward steadily, and even Lilian got a chance to fight the mutants. Even though her strength was weak, with the skills Zhong Ye taught her, she was still able to fight the mutants once or twice.

Under Zhong Ye's protection, Lilian has gained a lot of practical experience and is growing rapidly.

Through the barrage, Lilian learned that the situation in the city seemed to have been initially controlled—of course, it was limited to the Adventurer's House and the church area.

Outside of these two areas, the destruction continues and the killing continues.

As the battle continued, when they were about to advance to the city gate, more than a dozen people had joined the team, which greatly increased the pressure on the soldiers and the three extraordinary men.

Most of them were wounded, and their bodies were becoming weak with the passage of time. Several soldiers could not hold their muskets and retreated from the front line.

And they are running out of ammunition. Once the ammunition is used up, the soldiers will lose their ability to fight.

At this time, Zhong Ye stood up.

He put away the straight knife, drew out the big sword, and walked to the front of the team.

All eyes are on him, and now they all think that Zhong Ye is their savior and their only hope!
No matter what kind of crisis it is, as long as Zhong Ye stands up, it can be solved easily.

——Even if they had been in contact with Zhong Ye for less than half a day!

It was precisely because of the presence of this unknown adventurer that they were able to escape from the manor and come here alive.

"Cease fire."

The moment Zhong Ye said these words, everyone put away their muskets.

Even the nobles who were once rebellious and arrogant were convinced in the face of Zhong Ye.

"The three of you take care of them, and then—everyone run after me! Be careful, don't fall behind!"

With a kick on the sole of his foot, Zhong Ye dragged the sword backwards and rushed forward.

Rushed in front of a deformed body, without stopping, based on its movements and center of gravity, it deduced where its core was.

The big sword swept across, and the deformed body was divided into two, and the two halves of the body kept twitching on the ground, but until the large army ran past it, it failed to make the next reaction.

Zhong Ye always rushed in front of the team, and all the mutants that appeared in front of him could not withstand two attacks.

The moonlight was swung, and every time the sharp blade cut through the deformed body, it would leave a smooth cut running through the front, back, up and down.

The wound on his left shoulder no longer hurts, or in other words, Zhong Ye has adapted to the severe pain and feels numb to the wound.

The team ran forward under the leadership of Zhong Ye, and soon they saw the city gate.

At this time, the gate of the city was open, because the change came too suddenly, and no one could react.

And closing the city gates doesn't make any sense either. The aberrations not only appear outside the city, but there are even more aberrations inside the city.

Just because the city gate was open, the city gate was quite crowded. People outside the city wanted to go in, and people inside the city wanted to come out, but they were caught in the middle by the distortion bodies on both sides, unable to move.

boom! boom! boom!
The muskets fired bullets, knocking the aberrants to the ground, but they couldn't kill them.

The teams outside the city and inside the city collided at the city gate, and because the aberrations came from behind the two sides, they had to fight back to back and rely on each other.

People with combat abilities and weapons stood on the periphery of the team, fighting hard against the mutants, while the musketeers and archers half-kneeled and stood on the carts, pouring firepower on the mutants.

Just as they were fighting fiercely with the deformed body, Zhong Ye slashed out from the fork, brandishing a big sword and slamming into the group of deformed bodies fiercely.

——Compared with the aberrations in the occupied areas, these aberrations are not enough to look at!

Even this time, there is no one around him to support him, but compared to when he first came to this world, the enemy is weaker, but he is stronger.

The ruthless and numb sword slashed, and a metal storm blew up in the monster group, followed by a bloody storm.

The warrior grasped the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands, and rushed between the deformed bodies. Even if there were many enemies around, the moonlight could always accurately fall on every deformed body that showed flaws.

Zhong Ye's appearance made the people under the city gate overjoyed, and then they saw a huge team running out of the fork in the road, and they were even more overjoyed.

The city gate was right in front of them. Although the three extraordinary people didn't know why Zhong Ye led them back to the city, he was now the commander of the team, and he had the final say on everything.

The knight pulled down his helmet, clamped his lance tightly, and the horse under him stepped forward tacitly, and rushed with his head down.

One person and one horse crashed into the group of deformed bodies with huge kinetic energy, stabbed with spears, and picked up several deformed bodies.

The other two superhumans followed closely behind, rushing into the deformed body through the gap that the knight tore open. With their abilities, they would not be killed by these 'weak' monsters.

The musket was able to be used again, but at this time only the uninjured soldiers and the nobles who liked to hunt were left with the ability to fight. The others were unable to use the musket due to injury or lack of training.

Lilian also raised her vigilance, and gave up the pack horse to the two weak soldiers, while she dismounted herself, put her hand on the hilt of her sword, and was vigilant about the movement around her.

After the four extraordinary people left the team, she could be regarded as the only melee player left in the team. Although she couldn't compete with the aberrants only with sword skills and attributes, Zhong Ye taught her more than just sword skills.

"There's one behind!"

People gradually broke away from the state of panic, and even learned the skills of observing the movement around them and reporting to the soldiers in time without a teacher - after all, this is related to their own lives.

Lilian was at the end of the line. When she heard the shout, she looked back and happened to see a deformed body with a vaguely human shape squeezed out from the gap between the two rooms.

The girl held her breath, raised her hand crossbow and shot an arrow at the deformed body's head. The crossbow arrow pierced into the deformed body's head, making it stop in place, but this arrow not only failed to kill it, but also made it worse. for anger.

However, Lilian never thought that one arrow could kill the deformed body. When shooting the crossbow arrow, she let go of the hilt of the sword with her right hand, took out a Molotov cocktail from her pocket, raised her hand and threw it.

The flame exploded on the deformed body, and the fuel flowed along the muscle lines, quickly igniting the monster.

The aberrant screamed and started to catch up with the team.

While running, Lilian loaded the arrow calmly, then turned sideways and shot an arrow at the deformed body's knee, causing it to stumble and fall to the ground.

The barrage began to cheer, and Lilian's ears turned red with excitement. This was the first time she had solved an enemy independently!
At this moment, real cheers came to her ears, and the girl turned her head to look over, and saw that the road leading to the city gate had been opened, and all the deformed bodies crowded outside the city had been cleared away.

When the city gate was no longer blocked, some people began to flee outside the city, but when more people saw Zhong Ye leading the three transcendents towards the city, they also turned around and turned back into the city.

People's hearts gather under the sword's edge, and the team gathers along the direction of the sword, taking steps together.

Even after he appeared, Zhong Ye didn't say anything to them, but many people saw his strength and his resolute determination, without any direction or goal, they subconsciously followed his footsteps.

Then, the city gate was opened!
