Chapter 7(2/2)
The hunters were suppressed by the rain of arrows and could not raise their heads. Soon the flames on the street would dissipate, and the vampire swordsmen would be able to charge over.
"We can only abandon the outer walls and courtyards and rely on fortresses for defense," Eveli said.
By abandoning the outer layer of defense and dragging the enemy into a brawl, the vampires will be unable to form a military formation, and the hunter's advantage of having a stronger individual soldier will be reflected.
"But what about the civilians in the yard? Besides, there are baron-level vampires on the enemy side who haven't joined the battle, right?"
Eveli was silent, she was also worried about this.
"Let's first find a way to prevent the vampires from shooting arrows. Take this."
Jiang Xiaotan handed the alexandrite to Eveli.
"What are you doing with this?"
"After a while, you throw it as high as you can, the higher the better."
After the wave of arrows passed, Jiang Xiaotan shouted: "Throw it away now."
After hearing his unquestionable tone, Eveli immediately threw the alexandrite high.
Jiang Xiaotan lay on the ground, stretched out his hand and pointed at the alexandrite flying high into the sky, and activated the runes in his heart.
"Close your eyes!"
The light ball of [Exorcism] flew out and hit Alexandrite.
The burst of bright light instantly illuminated the area into daylight, and those vampire archers who did not know why were staring at the small sphere that suddenly flew up one moment, and the next moment their eyes were burned by the strong light.
The vampire army of several hundred people burst into screams.
"Isn't it?"
Realizing that the arrow rain attack had stopped, Jiang Xiaotan and Eveli carefully poked their heads out from behind the arrow pile, only to see that the vampires seemed to have lost their fighting power and had gathered together to retreat.
Not only the archers, but also the swordsmen were affected.
Although the swordsmen in the front row were still trying to hold on to the posture of holding their shields and swords and slowly retreating, their eyes were closed, and lines of blood and tears were streaming down their faces.
"Are they going to run away? Can they be pursued?" Eveli just closed her eyes a little slower, and her vision was still a bit blurry, but she was already excited.
"I'll send them a large fireball first to see if they are faking defeat." Jiang Xiaotan raised his hand and had already begun to condense the fireballs.
Before Fireball could take action, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him:
"It really shocked me. I thought I didn't even need to take action."
An alarm sounded in Jiang Xiaotan's mind, and the fireball flew out in a panic, deviating from its target and hitting a house on the street.
He turned his head and saw a short-haired man who had appeared at an unknown time.
Eveli had already moved. She rushed towards the short-haired man with her sword, but she pierced the air with her sword. The short-haired man kicked out at a very fast speed, and the female hunter was kicked away like a rag doll.
"Ivory! Are you okay?"
The female hunter who was kicked away miserably hit the arrow stack next to her. She suffered the most serious injuries in the past few days, as if she had several broken ribs.
"Hurry...escape!" Eveli, who was no longer able to stand up, struggled to squeeze out these few words to Jiang Xiaotan.
However, she was still a step slow.
A dagger appeared in the hand of the short-haired man. He rushed towards Jiang Xiaotan at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, and the dagger accurately struck Jiang Xiaotan's throat.
"Ding!"
Jiang Xiaotan's mind went blank.
His eyes caught the gleaming dagger slashing towards his throat.
But he had no way to avoid it. With his physical reaction speed, he could only watch his throat being slit and then die tragically on the spot.
However, after a strange metal collision sound, he had unknowingly appeared behind the short-haired man.
His right hand still held the silver dagger originally on his waist.
Jiang Xiaotan immediately threw away his dagger, stretched out his palm, and wanted to take advantage of the short-haired man before he could react and shoot a [Demon-Breaking Arrow].
However, before the runes could be condensed, the short-haired man had already turned around, with a look of shock and disbelief on his face.
What happened next was even stranger.
The man's body turned halfway, his upper body and lower body became misaligned, and then fell into two halves and fell to the ground.
The silver poison spread on his broken body, and both halves of his body turned black.
Jiang Xiaotan had no idea what was happening.
But Evely, who was seriously injured, fainted with a smile.
In her last moments before she fell into coma, she was sighing and thankful that she could witness such superb and gorgeous sword skills in her lifetime.
