Chapter 27 Crisis Rescue, Shen Xinglin is Surrounded
The trap net was thrown at an extremely tricky angle, perfectly positioned in the blind spot where Shen Xinglin was turning his horse.
The warhorse let out a long neigh, its front hooves were caught tightly by the net ropes, the horse lost its balance and fell straight forward.
Shen Xinglin reacted with lightning speed. He pressed down on his lance, the tip piercing the hard rock, the alloy shaft bending in a dangerous arc. Using the force of the recoil, he managed to steady himself and avoid being thrown off his horse.
The person was saved, but was completely trapped in the same spot.
Three White Eagle melee awakened warriors attacked simultaneously from three directions. Blades, axes, and swords—three whistling sounds as they cut through the air aimed directly at vital points.
Shen Xinglin gripped the reins tightly with one hand to calm the frightened warhorse, while his right hand wielded the spear in a blur of motion, barely managing to parry two weapons. The third heavy axe struck the warhorse's side armor solidly, sending sparks flying.
He gritted his teeth and strained, trying to tear the net ropes binding his legs. But then, more White Eagles appeared at the edge of his field of vision, breaking away from the melee on the periphery and rapidly closing in on his position.
Twelve. No more, no less.
Silver Eagle's plan was too shrewd.
He shouted that he wanted to kill Lu Yan, but it was just a feint. His real target was the most mobile knight in the first squad who was furthest away from the group.
Cavalry is the soul of flank maneuvering and the key to pulling the tide of battle. Remove this thorn, and the remaining infantry formations become a bunch of dead targets that can be cut up at will.
Shen Xinglin's situation took a sharp turn for the worse within ten seconds.
Activate the Knight's survival skill, Divine Shield. Two seconds of invulnerability allow you to withstand the first wave of focused fire.
The warhorse seized the opportunity to charge forward, creating a five-meter gap. A swordsman who was close behind caught up, but was knocked to the ground by a counter-attack with a parry.
The duration of Divine Shield's protection has ended.
Four ranged spells struck him at the same time.
The shield value plummeted visibly. The warhorse's health bar was critically low, with an arrow stuck in each of its legs, and it began to stagger as it ran.
Silver Eagle stood twenty meters away. His silver-white heavy armor wasn't even a speck of dust on it.
He crossed his arms and watched Shen Xinglin, who was surrounded, leisurely enjoying the rehearsed play.
He shouted at the Zhenguo Dragon Guard squad.
"You've outsmarted me. Did you think my target was that Aura Master?"
"Dismantle your mobile forces; the rest of you are nothing but a bunch of stationary puppets, unable to leave even if you want to."
After saying that, he raised his right hand and gently pressed it down.
Accelerate focus fire command.
Shen Xinglin's shield value dropped below the 20% warning line.
"Stars are Coming!"
Su Yunqing's healing beam was stretched to its limit. The beam became intermittent in the air due to the great distance.
She rushed forward a few steps, barely managing to raise the healing amount. But Shen Xinglin's health bar only slowed down for half a second before continuing to plummet.
With over a dozen opponents attacking simultaneously, a single healer simply cannot keep up the damage.
Zhao Leiguang wanted to return to defense, but he was tightly entangled by two full squads of White Eagle.
Once he leaves, Lin Chuxue and Wen Yue behind him will be completely exposed to the enemy's charging route.
One second before the shield shattered.
A figure that no one expected appeared on the battlefield.
Lu Yan didn't stay in the safest rear, but instead grabbed his staff and rushed out alone.
He had no skills, no means of attack. The only thing he could do was to shorten the distance between himself and Shen Xinglin as quickly as possible.
Shen Xinglin caught a glimpse of the figure running towards him recklessly out of the corner of his eye, and his eyelids twitched wildly.
Why did Lu Yan break away from the main group and rush towards me? Has he gone mad?
"Don't come any closer! Go back!" Shen Xinglin shouted until his voice was hoarse.
He yanked the reins hard, and the warhorse neighed as it forced its way back, taking two steps forward to face the barrage of White Eagle's fire, shielding Lu Yan tightly behind it.
"I'll cover you, you retreat! Find Zhao Leiguang!"
Shen Xinglin gripped his lance tightly, veins bulging on the back of his hand. He had prepared for the worst. At worst, he would die, but at least he could save this precious darling of the entire team. China could do without anyone, but it couldn't do without him.
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll take your beating," Lu Yan replied.
Without stopping, he squeezed himself into the effective coverage area of the halo.
The Eternal Scepter affix attribute is active.
Friendly forces' shield regeneration speed increased by 95%.
Allied units' maximum shield strength is increased by 130%.
The downward curve of Shen Xinglin's shield bar, which was on the verge of breaking, was forcibly held up.
It first stagnated, then rebounded at an extremely unreasonable speed.
Silver Eagle noticed the strange change in the shield value.
For the first time, a crack appeared on the confident composure on his face.
Turning my head, I saw that the aura master was standing alone on the front line where the fighting was most intense, braving the stray arrows and skill splashes flying everywhere.
Su Yunqing's healing light shield followed closely behind, and was re-attached to Shen Xinglin.
The dual recovery effects stack. The shield value is completely stabilized.
With a long neigh, the warhorse reared up high in the air. Shen Xinglin used the momentum of the horse to sweep his lance out, forcefully forcing back the three melee fighters surrounding him.
survived.
"court death!"
The Silver Eagle Plan was disrupted, so he stopped observing and personally charged forward with his sword.
Someone is faster than him.
Xiao Qianyu, leading Liu Yiyi, fought her way through the flank and rushed to Lu Yan's side.
Zhao Leiguang abandoned any direct confrontation and transformed into an out-of-control dump truck, charging savagely straight back towards Lu Yan. The two White Eagle warriors blocking his path were caught off guard and were sent flying, shield and all, like bowling balls, rolling seven or eight times on the ground before coming to a stop.
The Earth Pulse Set's luster flashed wildly on the shields. Zhao Leiguang finally stood firmly two steps to Lu Yan's right front, the two giant shields facing outwards, forming an unbreakable defensive barrier.
The first squad regrouped.
With Lu Yan at the center, a battle formation that combines offense and defense was formed.
Under the full coverage of the aura, everyone's attribute panels were once again maxed out.
The call to counterattack has been sounded.
Wen Yue knelt behind Zhao Lei's shield. The World-Destroying Thunderclap had used up all its grenades, and now it could only be used as a regular heavy crossbow.
A white eagle berserker roared and charged forward, brandishing his sword.
Wen Yue raised her hand and pulled the trigger.
An ordinary steel crossbow bolt was released from the bow.
The crossbow bolt pierced the berserker's breastplate. Without warning, the man's health bar plummeted by seventy percent.
The berserker halted his charge. He looked down at the hole in his chest, his face filled with disbelief.
How could a regular crossbow bolt cause this kind of damage? Is this even a normal attack?
There wasn't time to figure it out.
Wen Yue nocked her second arrow, aimed, and released it.
Before the sound of the crossbow string vibrating had even faded, the berserker's body was enveloped in a white light from the system and teleported away.
The other White Eagles members, who were engaged in a chaotic battle nearby, witnessed this scene and instinctively slowed their advance by half a beat.
Silver Eagle narrowed his eyes as he watched his men being easily killed by two arrows.
"Charge all forces! Slaughter them all!"
He personally took action, his silver-white heavy armor erupting with dazzling battle aura blades as he slashed at a third-line member of the National Guard not far away.
The person didn't even have time to parry before their health bar was emptied, and they vanished in a flash of white light.
The fact that he's ranked first in individual combat power in the White Eagle Empire is no joke.
Under his leadership, the remaining White Eagles members regained their courage and launched a general offensive.
A massive influx of people arrived.
They ran headfirst into a wall.
An insurmountable wall made of ice and fire.
Lin Chuxue stood in the center of the group, the tip of her dueling staff shining brightly.
The spell barrage, composed of ice spikes and lava fireballs, poured forward relentlessly without any casting interval or sign of energy depletion.
The three White Eagle Awakeners at the forefront crashed headlong into the wall of fire, their shields vaporizing. One of them couldn't dodge in time and was pinned to the spot by three consecutive ice spikes, his health bar dropping piece by piece until it was empty in the blink of an eye.
With the blessing of the Eternal Scepter, Lin Chuxue's spells dealt ridiculously high damage.
The Dark Gold armor that the White Eagle Awakener was so proud of was utterly useless against her.
The White Eagle Empire's charging formation showed signs of wavering.
