Chapter 793 Money Power! Father!
Five to one.
At one end of the field that was deliberately cleared, Petwin, Lancelot and Sam stood separately, while Bacon and Dolan stood further back.
They had relatively longer arms, so it was easier for them to play to their advantage.
Viscount Tostin stood casually at the other end of the field.
He didn't even wear leather armor, and a standard-sized round shield was blocked on his left forearm, which was held by the handle embedded in the back.
In his right hand was a standard one-handed sword suitable for human use.
The manservant walked to the edge of the field nervously and raised the gong in his hand high.
"Three, two, one!"
"Ding!!!"
The moment the gong sounded loudly, Viscount Tostin rushed out in one step!
[Determined Charge] was activated!
The target was Petwin!
Although his strength had declined and his anger was no longer as abundant as when he was young, the foundation of combat experience accumulated over the years would not disappear with age.
He knows all kinds of fighting essentials and has experienced all kinds of fighting situations.
For example, when outnumbering the enemy, he should first kill the weaker ones, free up his energy, and then concentrate on dealing with the stronger opponents.
In the eyes of Viscount Tostin, he is not quite sure about the level of the few "friends" that Petwin found.
But he knows very well what his youngest son is like!
A few months ago, he was still a low-ranking warrior with less than half a bottle of wine.
Although he became stronger after going to the Dark Forest in the Hunting Month, Petwin was still an ordinary 1st-level warrior at that time.
At most, the weapon with blue light that he didn't know where he got from surprised Viscount Tostin.
After all, although the long sword at that time looked like standard equipment, its actual power was much stronger than the weapons made by the dwarves.
This time, he didn't use real weapons, so Viscount Tostin didn't think his youngest son could cause any trouble.
He started with a 4th level combat skill [Determined Charge]!
This combat skill is an advanced version of [Charge], and only warriors like Viscount Tostin who have chosen the "Unbreakable Barrier" specialization branch can use it smoothly.
"Bang!"
The loud sound of shields colliding with each other!
"Cough cough... cough!!"
Petun was hit so hard that his breath stagnated and his body was unstable. He retreated more than ten steps, but still couldn't control his balance and fell to the ground!
[-5%, knockback, imbalance! ]
A line of red words floated from Petun's body.
The gap between 2nd level and 4th level is here. If Viscount Tostin hadn't shown mercy and used a shield instead of a weapon to launch a charge, this real hit might have knocked Petun unconscious directly.
Seeing this, Lancelot and Sam both decisively launched [Charge] at the same time, swinging their weapons or fists with the impact force, trying to entangle Viscount Tostin.
Viscount Tostin did not dodge, but used his shield to block Sam, and then directly took Lancelot's attack with his body.
"Puff..."
[Air shield deflected! ]
After a punch, the feeling transmitted back was quite solid, giving Lancelot a feeling of hitting a steel plate. The combat assistant reminded him that this attack did not work at all!
After using [Determined Charge], the anger of the warrior will form a layer of "air shield" effect on the surface of his body, which will last for a short period of time.
During this period of time, any form of attack will be deflected or offset by this layer of air shield first.
Therefore, it is difficult to directly cause damage to the 4th-level warrior protected by the air shield!
Warriors of the "Unbreakable Barrier" specialty branch have various means of protecting themselves. Just as the name of the specialty suggests, the mortals who walk on this path of cultivation have their bodies like a solid barrier that will never fall.
Viscount Tostin was thinking about continuing to educate his youngest son Petwin. He easily withstood the attacks of Sam and Lancelot and was about to continue rushing towards the target when two unidentified objects flew towards him from a distance.
A sticky ball of silk swelled in the wind, and the tight and dense spider silk covered the viscount's head and face, slightly restricting his movements.
The other ball was a rope ball emitting a faint green light.
The moment it approached Viscount Tostin, the rope ball exploded with a "bang" and turned into a large and dense rope net, as if it had a spirit and was wrapped around Viscount Tostin.
Then another round-headed feather arrow with a hint of lightning flew over.
"Pop!"
The feather arrow also exploded in mid-air, and from the explosion position, a thin "electric cord" connected to Viscount Tostin's body.
[Spider web slows down! Partial resistance (reduction of 95%)]
[Lasso trap! Resistance! ]
The correct version in the 16-9 book and forum!
[Binding electric cord! Partial resistance (reduction of 53%)]
Dolan's chanting of [Spider web] slows down, followed by the [Lasso trap] prop prepared by Bacon in advance, and finally [Binding shooting]!
This is not over yet!
As a ranger, Bacon has gained a lot of combat experience after experiencing the battle to defend the stone fort. Now he clearly knows how to deal with this enemy that is far stronger than himself.
The secret is just one word:
Consume!
Try to make full use of the advantage of the ranger's effective attack distance as much as possible, and constantly use various delaying means to hinder the opponent's actions, fight and retreat, or circle around the opponent.
As long as the opponent can never touch the corner of your clothes and you can continue to cause damage and slowly consume the enemy, you will be able to kill him sooner or later!
The effect is equally significant when applying the previously accumulated combat skills.
After [Binding Shot], follow up with [Concussion Shot]!
Bacon was "learned" from Baron Qinar, who preferred to use various wilderness magics of arrow shooting rather than the two types of taming animals or setting traps and surviving in the wild.
So Bacon's characteristics are the same. He has now mastered a full 8 kinds of magics with arrows as carriers to deal with different situations!
The feather arrows blessed by the magic hit Viscount Tostin with great accuracy. Although the opponent raised his shield in time to block the attack, the strong "shock wave" effect brought by [Concussion Shot] can produce corresponding effects!
If you put aside "external objects" such as weapons and equipment, and only talk about personal strength, Bacon, who has already had a good level 1 strength and is about to be promoted to level 3, is actually the strongest among the five!
A series of rapid shootings with various tricks not only temporarily hindered Viscount Tostin's intention to continue chasing and beating Petwin, but more importantly, it allowed Petwin to successfully slow down and restore his combat ability.
"Father!"
Feeling the abundant anger that finally accumulated in his body, Petwin simply dropped his shield and clasped his hands around the wooden sword that glowed with purple light.
[Charge] Start!
As he rushed towards the Viscount's father, purple light burst out from the blade!
"Let me show you how much I have improved during this period of time!"
"This is the reward for making the right choice! This is the confidence that strengthening brings me!"
"Father! Be careful!"
Swing the sword and chop it hard at the round shield!
The purple sword energy gushed out!
"Crack!"
...
