Chapter 703: There is a second one

The knights quickly raised their shields as thick lightning bolts randomly fell. One lightning bolt struck a knight’s shield, making a loud noise, but the shield held up. It seemed the shields had been magically reinforced to withstand the power of lightning magic. However, the knight was left with numb, weak arms from the impact.

He switched to holding the shield with his other arm and shouted, “Assassin brothers, come inside. It’s a dead end for you out there!”

The assassins were frightened and quickly hid under the knight’s shields.

The lightning continued to rain down, but the knights quickly blocked several lightning strikes. However, some knights’ arms were left numb from the impact.

Fortunately, the enemy soldiers dared not charge into the lightning zone to attack them, so they did not have to worry about being ambushed.

A group of soldiers from the Thunder Knights drew their bows and aimed at the people holding the shields. However, when Robb’s Thor’s Roar turned towards them, they were so scared they dropped their bows and arrows and fell to the ground.

Kante also raised his single-handed shield in the air and waved to Robb, “Robb, come inside quickly.”

“What are you hiding from?” Robb said. “I’ll take care of this thundercloud.”

“How do you plan on taking care of it?” Kante exclaimed. “None of my magic can be used right now.”

Of course, that was a stupid question. They all rolled their eyes at him. What kind of “magic” could be used in this situation?

The vice-captain of the Thunder Knights laughed when he heard Robb and Kante’s conversation. “You think you can take care of my thundercloud? What makes you think that?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Robb dodged two random lightning bolts that struck his position, and then waved his hand towards the sky. A gust of wind blew by, and the thundercloud was blown onto the enemy’s heads…

Everyone was stunned.

“Damn! What kind of strange wind was that? How could it blow away my thundercloud?” the vice-captain exclaimed.

“Vice-captain, be careful, lightning is coming,” a knight beside him warned. The knight quickly jumped over and held up a shield over his head, blocking a lightning bolt. He was also left with numb arms and quickly switched hands.

The huge thundercloud was hovering over their heads, and random lightning strikes made the Thunder Knights scream in pain.

The vice-captain was embarrassed and quickly withdrew his magic, but it was too late. The thundercloud had already blown up their camp.

At this moment, facing them, Madeline anxiously watched the strange dark clouds on their side, and couldn’t help but exclaim, “That’s… advanced lightning magic, Thunder Purgatory! How could it appear there? Aren’t they just a small group?”

Barry next to her was also stunned, “Oh no, such advanced lightning magic, could it be that they are from the Thunder Knights and hold a high position?”

Madeline hurriedly said, “Twenty-four people against the Thunder Knights? That’s not good.”

Barry said, “Look, someone’s coming out.”

Two Black Earth Knights rushed out of the forest, stumbled and rushed to the lake, cutting the ties on their armor with a backhand sword. Their heavy knight armor fell to the ground with a clatter, and then they both jumped into the lake, shaking their arms and swimming towards this side.

Then came Kante, the Wind knights, the scouts…

The knights wearing heavy armor had to take off their armor before jumping into the lake, but the scouts wearing leather armor were more relaxed and could jump into the water with their armor on, as leather armor did not affect swimming much.

Robb was the last to retreat to the lake shore, still holding the long barrel in his hand. He pointed it at the pursuers, and they immediately rolled in a variety of ways, avoiding the direction the barrel was pointing.

Robb smiled, “Even if you dodge, I’m going to shoot.”

He released a whirlwind spell, and the whirlwind went through the barrel and blew towards the other side. In an instant, a large area of the ground ahead was covered in flying sand and rocks. The Thunder Knights who were a bit slow to dodge were blown into the sky, flailing their arms and legs, screaming, and then falling heavily to the ground, unable to get up.

After firing this shot, Robb turned around and threw the barrel into the lake. The heavy barrel sank to the bottom of the lake instantly, and then Robb followed suit and jumped into the water.

The vice-captain chased to the shore, “Quick, use magic to kill them in the water!”

A magician reported, “Vice-captain, lightning magic is not very effective against enemies in the water. Once lightning enters the water, it will conduct and the range of the attack will be larger, but the power will be weaker. It might work on fish, but not on these people.”

Vice-captain: “…”

This was a problem. He shouted loudly, “Archers!”

A large group of archers ran to the shore, drew their bows and arrows, and shot randomly into the lake.

Madeline on the other side saw this scene and her heart tightened. However, with a lake the size of four or five football fields in between, she could not help even if she wanted to, and anxiously jumped on the shore.

However, the people in the water were not foolish. As soon as they saw the enemy archers, they took a deep breath and dived into the water.

In the world of swords and magic, the human body is different from that of the original world. They can hold their breath for a long time, even several minutes, without any problem. When arrows were shot towards people in the water, they couldn’t harm them and could only jump around on the shore in anger.

The vice-captain cursed under his breath. At this moment, he suddenly heard someone calling from the other side of the lake. He looked up and saw Madeline and Barry leading a group of soldiers, standing on the opposite side of the lake shouting, “Be careful! Swim back quickly.”

The vice captain laughed, “These two people are just standing by the lake without any sense of caution. The actions of these scouts are in vain, haha. Alright, let’s secretly set up the other Thor’s Roar and blast them to death.”

It turns out that the Desert Kingdom gave the Thunder Knights two Thor’s Roars!

When Robb and his team came to scout, they only saw one and destroyed only one. The second one was still in the tent at the camp, in a box.

Several soldiers immediately returned to the chaotic camp that was hit by “Thunder Purgatory” and dragged out the other Thor’s Roar, secretly setting it up in the woods with the barrel protruding from a pile of trees.

Madeline and her team on the other side of the lake were all focused on the lake, unaware of the small movements in the woods on the other side.

The barrel aimed far away at the location of Madeline and Barry, and the vice captain whispered, “Fire!”

The magic weapon expert nodded and pressed the switch.

The thunder and lightning magic stored in the wardrobe sized magic container flowed into the barrel, amplifying and strengthening continuously until it finally burst out of the barrel as a huge bucket-sized lightning bolt. It cut through the sky, crossed the lake, and headed towards Madeline…
