Chapter 14 Counterattack
"Damn it, you escaped again!" Alger cursed in a low voice.
"Be serious, Alger!"
Barlow frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied with Alger's two missed shots. The long sword in his hand suddenly lifted up, and then his body slammed towards Enzo. When the fighting spirit in his body was released, he shouted and slashed at him with all his strength.
clang!
Enzo blocked with a horizontal sword, and the force from the long sword made his whole body shake, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his face.
"Combat analysis mode turns on, slash sideways."
The sound of chip machinery rang in his mind. Enzo did not hesitate in his heart. He immediately turned his body sideways, then raised the short black blade in his hand and slashed horizontally towards Barlow's neck. His movements were as fast as lightning. , leaving people too late to react.
Barlow's expression changed, but his body reacted instantly.
He quickly leaned back and raised his arms to protect his neck. The short black blade scratched the silver-white metal arm guard, making a sound of metal friction.
"What a risk!" Barlow broke into a cold sweat and looked at Enzo more cautiously.
call out! call out! call out!
Between the shadows on the tree crown, Alger shot three arrows in quick succession.
Enzo's eyes flashed, and he had to retreat. After dodging the attacks of two arrows, he waved his hand and raised his short blade to cut off the third arrow that struck in the air, and then quickly dodged to a thick tree trunk. back.
"It's hard for me to win against two knights at the same time!"
"One must be solved first!"
Enzo looked solemn, paying attention to Barlow's movements from the corner of his eye.
Not far away, Barlow's expression was serious, his eyes fixed on the tree trunk where Enzo was hiding. He held the knight's sword with both hands at the same time. His legs were slightly bent forward, and his bulging muscles were tense, like a cavalry about to charge on the battlefield. .
"Alger, cover me!" Barlow shouted in a deep voice.
The fighting energy in his body exploded, and Barlow suddenly ran wildly, with a strong momentum on his body. His heavy footsteps made the ground tremble slightly, as if war drums were beating, approaching Enzo step by step.
"Ouch!!" Barlow roared angrily and chopped off the knight's sword with all his strength.
The thick tree trunk seemed to have been hit hard, and it exploded under the long sword full of fighting spirit. Enzo, who was hiding behind, wanted to crouch down and attack, but suddenly saw a cold light coming, so he could only roll sideways and quickly Pounce into the distance.
call out! Another arrow came.
Without his cover, Enzo had nowhere to hide. He could only quickly dodge sideways under the prompts of the chip.
But on the other side, Barlow took advantage of the opportunity and rushed forward again. He stabbed with the long sword clenched in both hands, forcing Enzo to retreat suddenly. At the next moment, he swung it again and slashed across without mercy.
brush! The sharp sword slashed across Enzo's cheek, leaving a trail of blood.
Enzo's expression remained unchanged, but he was shocked in his heart. He quickly retreated and suddenly slashed at the tree trunk beside him.
Boom!
The tree trunk collapsed, sending up a cloud of dust and smoke. Enzo turned decisively and ran wildly.
"It's not that easy to run away!" Barlow growled and quickly chased after him. Upon seeing this, Alger on the treetop quickly jumped down and followed closely towards the direction where Enzo was escaping.
"Chip, calculate the best escape route."
Enzo shuttled between the forests, running and jumping nimbly. Under the calculation of the chip, every movement was incomparably consistent with the forest. He was not blocked by any vines or dead branches, and his movements were as nimble as a cheetah's.
"Damn, so fast!" Alger gritted his teeth, getting farther and farther away from Enzo.
"This can't go on like this." Barlow frowned and said in a deep voice, "You continue to pursue, I will go around from the side to intercept you!"
Alger had no doubts and nodded with a gloomy face. Barlow immediately stopped and put the long sword back into the scabbard. When he found that Enzo was no longer in his field of vision, he immediately ran towards the side.
Taking a deep breath, Alger continued to chase forward.
Deep in the Ice Punishment Forest, Barlow ran quickly.
"Going further, there should be a lake." Barlow kept walking, thinking, "With Enzo's speed, we should be in the center of the Ice Punishment Forest at this time. As long as I go around the lake, I should be able to reach it just right. Stop him."
"Delay it for about fifteen minutes, and we can deal with him when Alger arrives!"
Barlow's mind was changing and he was counting the time when he suddenly felt a strong palpitation in his heart. His body subconsciously tried to dodge, but it was too late. A black shadow suddenly jumped down from the thick tree trunk not far away and struck like lightning. !
"How is that possible!?" Barlow's eyes widened in disbelief.
The short black blade slashed across Barlow's shoulder, leaving a deep scar visible to the bone, and a large amount of blood gushes out and stains his armor red.
"How can you be so fast?"
Barlow's face was pale, and he pressed his palms hard on the bleeding wound. His body trembled slightly and backed away. He still seemed to be unable to understand why Enzo, who originally ran away towards the lake, appeared here.
"What do you think?" Enzo raised the corners of his lips and said softly.
In fact, it was not Enzo's speed that was fast enough, but the scanning function of the chip that completely grasped Barlow's movements. Therefore, after walking a certain distance, Enzo made a decisive detour to this area and hid in the tree canopy to wait for opportunities. Counterattack!
And the facts proved that Enzo's decision was correct.
Barlow was unprepared and was seriously injured on the shoulder by a sharp blade. For a knight using a long sword, at least half of his combat effectiveness was lost.
"I'll deal with you here first, and then I'll deal with that Alger!" Enzo raised the corners of his lips and raised the short black blade in his hand.
Barlow's face was gloomy, and he suddenly rushed forward, wielding his knight's sword and slashing at Enzo.
He raised his knife to block, and the short blade collided with the long sword, making a sound. Enzo had already been prepared for Barlow and easily blocked the attack. However, his body suddenly twisted quickly, and then he swung the black short blade, streaking across Barlow's waist like lightning. .
"Ah!!" Barlow roared, and suddenly punched out.
Enzo immediately raised his arms to protect his chest. The force of gravity caused his figure to sway slightly, and then he took a few steps back.
"This can't continue like this, we must leave as soon as possible!"
A sense of crisis arose in Barlow's heart, and he stepped back slightly.
The wound on his shoulder continued to bleed, making his breath gradually weak. When he faced Enzo's attack again, he was obviously a little weak, so he immediately decided to retreat and make plans after reuniting with Alger.
"You want to escape now?" Enzo's eyes moved slightly and he noticed Barlow's movements.
Barlow didn't say a word, but suddenly he exerted force on his feet and kicked a rock towards Enzo, then turned around and ran wildly.
