Barnett "gently" pushed Victor's sword aside, then raised his leg and kicked him in the stomach.
Then Victor was like a thrown toy doll, flying backwards in the direction of Paul.
The Soldierss who came with Chief Guard saw how powerful the other party was. They looked at each other and reached a tacit understanding. They raised their swords and slashed at Barnett.
To Barnett, the strength of an ordinary adult man may not be worth mentioning, but the combined attack of everyone cannot be underestimated.
He avoided most of the attacks with very agile movements, and still received two or three stabs on his body.
Soldiers, who hit Barnett's body, felt like he had been hit on a big rock, and his hands and mouth were numb from the shock.
"Lord of Heaven! What kind of monster is he?" someone shouted in horror.
"He is a wizard who uses magic to enhance his strength and defense!" Female Advisor next to Paul suddenly shouted, "You can't fight him up close, so keep your distance and entangle him."
"Wizard? Magic?!" Female Advisor's words made everyone confused. Is the monster in front of them an evil wizard?
Although strange stories about wizards and magic have been circulating among the people, it still makes people feel at a loss when the legendary things suddenly appear before their eyes.
The "monster" who took a few blows didn't seem to be hurt at all. He suddenly rushed towards the nearest Soldiers and punched out with lightning speed.
That Soldiers fell to the ground unconscious in an instant as if his head was hit by a big hammer.
Barnett opened his bow from left to right, punching almost one after another, knocking down a large number of Soldiers in just a few breaths.
In these few seconds, he was still fighting and dodging, cleverly avoiding several arrows shot by Female Advisor from the opposite side.
However, he gradually felt that something was wrong. The female Archers's aim was too terrible. Almost every arrow aimed at his eyes. If it weren't for [Danger Sense], he would have been shot from the eye to the head.
It is impossible for mortals to achieve this unless...
Less than a minute had passed since the cloaked man suddenly attacked, and the situation had taken a turn for the worse.
People cannot prevent unknown dangers beyond their own knowledge, just like the people on earth in "Three-Body" never thought that they would be hit by a two-way foil.
Although there was a reminder from Female Advisor, before that, whether it was Paul, Victor or Soldiers, they either did not believe in the existence of wizards and magic, or they were stuck to the image of wizards in folklore, and did not expect this scene.
In folklore, the image of a wizard is as follows:
They wore tall pointed hats, gray and shabby robes, and carried wooden sticks called wands. They had a lot of beards on their faces, and some were hunched over.
Wizards generally do not choose to conflict with people head-on. Instead, they hide in secret and quietly carry out their schemes, using spells, curses and potions to control other people's minds, interfere with other people's destiny, and even murder other people's lives.
When having to confront an enemy head-on, the wizard will use illusions to confuse the opponent, or use a wand to cast fireballs at the enemy from a distance, or summon wolves, bats and other animals to help fight.
But wizards also have a fatal weakness. Although they can control powerful magic, their bodies are extremely weak. Once they are approached by a warrior with strong martial arts skills, it will be their doom.
But what's going on with this tall, invulnerable madman in front of him, who rushes into the enemy pile and fights with his bare hands at the slightest disagreement? Everything is the opposite of the legendary wizard's characteristics.
At any time before, no one would have thought that a large group of their own troops would be blocked by a wizard in broad daylight.
Even after the other party showed hostility, everyone thought that he was just a bold maniac, with bare hands and no armor on his body. No matter how powerful he was in martial arts, he was still serving food in front of dozens of them.
Even Female Advisor Laddie didn't expect that the danger he divined was caused by a wizard until the other party showed some familiar aura.
Paul regained consciousness after a brief period of shock. Although Female Advisor's reminder made him feel a sense of absurdity, he couldn't care less. Regardless of whether he was a legendary wizard or not, the other party would definitely take his life.
"Musket! Kill that bastard with a musket!"
He anxiously ordered the guards around him, ten of whom were carrying Matchlock Gun on their backs.
Due to the limited production of muskets and gunpowder, they were given priority to the army and navy that defended against external enemies. Internal Guard Unit was only equipped with a small number of firearms, and its main equipment was cold weapons such as swords.
Therefore, they do not conduct shooting training every now and then like Soldiers of the army and navy. They only fire a few rounds occasionally to avoid forgetting the operation steps.
It is precisely because of this that they did not immediately think of taking off their muskets. Faced with such a tense situation, they subconsciously relied on more familiar knives or swords.
And after Paul gave the order to use muskets, their loading movements were not as smooth as those of full-time musketeers.
Loading Matchlock Gun is very troublesome, and what's even more unfortunate is that you have to light the match in the biting cold wind, and it will go out if you are not careful.
At this time, Soldiers who followed Victor and rushed up were basically knocked down by the wizard. They were lying on the ground, either alive or dead, or moaning because of their injuries.
The wizard's cloak was also chopped into tatters by Soldiers, and he strode towards Paul.
Laddie Seeing the enemy approaching, he said in a deep voice, "I will buy time for you, hurry up and prepare the muskets!"
She didn't know whether the guards' muskets could break through the cloaked man's defense, but that was all she could do at this time. Her bow and arrows were either caught or dodged, so she could only hope for faster bullets.
Laddie had watched Soldiers's shooting training. Even after using [Total Focus], she had never caught the trajectory of the bullet. She was deeply impressed by the speed.
Female Advisor concentrated his mind, put his hands together in front of his chest, and shouted, "Wall Shield Spell!"
Before he finished speaking, with Female Advisor as the center, ripples visible to the human eye appeared in the surrounding air. Soon, Paul and Soldiers were surprised to find that they were wrapped in a translucent "cover".
"Sure enough..." Seeing all this, Barnett's eyes were filled with blazing anger, "My previous suspicions were indeed correct!"
He suddenly exerted force, rushed to the "cover" almost instantly, and then punched it hard.
The translucent "cover" made a circle of ripples, and the fist as big as a casserole penetrated in, but that was it. The wizard's body was still outside the "cover", tightly "attached" to it but unable to move forward.
"Hurry up!" Paul was so anxious that tears almost came out, urging the musketeers around him.
"Hmph!" Barnett retracted his fist, "I want to see how long you can hold on!"
He waved his arms continuously and punched the "cover" hard one after another.
"Traitor!"
"You and we are the same kind!"
"You actually disregard your own identity and serve a mortal!"
"You are doing your best to help these lower creatures fight against their own compatriots!"
Barnett was shaking his fists while yelling curses. Dirty sentences continued to come out of his mouth. Female Advisor had completely attracted his hatred.
No matter how insulted Barnett was, Laddie remained unmoved at all, but as the "hood" was attacked again and again by the opponent's fists, her complexion became increasingly ugly, and despite the cold weather, there were beads of sweat on her face.
"Everyone! Aim!"
Following Paul's order, ten Soldiers armed with muskets all aimed at Barnett.
The muskets were finally all prepared. The reason why those who had finished loading earlier did not fire first was because they noticed that when the Victor squadron leader attacked the wizard alone, the wizard resisted without dodging. Later, when several Soldierss slashed at the wizard with their swords, he actually dodged.
Therefore, in order to cause maximum damage to each other, they decided to fire together.
The moment to decide the final outcome has arrived...
