Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1758 1730. Goodbye Sculptor

Lan En didn't look at the thin man, nor did he respond to him, but just continued to walk down with the ball of flannel.

From this angle, the witcher discovered that there was not only the ruins of a two-story tower in the temporary camp built by the Athenian soldiers.

On the ground, at the foot of the hillside, there is a well-maintained circular patio with a diameter of six or seven meters and a depth of more than three meters.

Inside the patio, the surroundings and the floor are made of white marble. The walls are painted with Greek-style murals in bright colors, and there are flower petals and traces of sacrifices on the ground.

Lan En and Velvet Ball went around the patio at the foot of the hill, still steadily closing the distance with the three people opposite.

The three people on the opposite side had no intention of taking action in advance.

Although everyone present knew that they would take action, Lan En and Fluffy Ball were standing on a high place on the hillside.

Generally speaking, when people of the same level beat someone lower, it's almost like beating your grandson.

Gravitational potential energy will make it easier and heavier for people at a high place to swing their weapons downwards, but it will make people at a low place use up a lot of their energy just to move upwards.

Not to mention launching attacks upwards and resisting attacks upwards.

The three men were happy to see themselves walking down the hillside, giving up the advantage of being on high ground.

"You ask why we killed these Athenians?"

Under Lan En's calm gaze, the sturdy man who picked up the long-handled ball-peen hammer from the corpse laughed in a low voice.

"The Athenians ruled Elis with their army! They tortured and oppressed us! We resisted and killed for Elis!"

The man had a thick black beard, but it looked messy because it had not been groomed for a long time.

But he was strong, with the hair on his chest sticking out from the top of his linen armor. If you only looked at his masculine charm of being strong and tough, he was pretty good.

Therefore, after he said these words with righteousness, he really seemed like a man of noble character who stood up to resist for this city-state and this ancient region.

But unfortunately, Lan En didn't believe it at all.

"The Athenians have been oppressing the Delian League for a long time. I don't mean to make excuses for what you said."

The witcher glanced at the corpse on the ground calmly, and then changed the subject.

"But are you really that noble? Sniff~"

Lan En's nostrils twitched twice again, and his lips moved for a moment, as if his tongue was tasting something in his mouth.

"Your hands are stained with a lot of blood. I'm afraid it's not just the blood of the Athenian soldiers who usually stay in the fortress and only come out for patrols, right?"

The man's already dirty and messy face suddenly became even gloomier.

Beside them, the sturdy man with a large shield in one hand and a short javelin in the other, tilted his head and spat, barking like an impatient fighting dog.

"Malaca! What nonsense! Kill him! That cat is ours! We can sell it for a lot of money if we catch it!"

Barnabas' superstition led him to offer sacrifices to the flannel ball and the unicorn.

But these highwaymen were obviously not as pious as the one-eyed old captain. They would not hesitate to rob the temple if they had the chance, and would even laugh and rape and kill the priestess in the temple.

"You catch the cat! I'll kill him!"

The leader of the three rushed towards Lan En, swinging his long-handled round-peen hammer!

Apparently, the height and size of a demon hunter wouldn't scare many people in this world.

Relatively speaking, this gang of highway robbers thought that the smaller and faster-moving ball of fluff was more difficult to catch, and it would take the effort of two people to catch it safely.

At this time, Lan En and the ball of fluff had already walked around the circular patio on the ground and were not far from the three people.

Their position also made the three opponents feel free to act without any worries.

But in Lan En's eyes... this is a good thing that makes his life convenient.

"I'm on meow!"

The fluffy ball shouted with great momentum, but he didn't know whether these few people on the opposite side could excite the fighting kitten.

However, Lan En still gave it some face and encouraged it: "Have fun."

The leading sturdy man brushed past the fluffy ball that was flying towards him, with a look of surprise and joy on his face.

The fact that a calico kitten could talk was obviously beyond his understanding.

But at the same time, it also means that the value of this kitten, which they originally thought "could just walk like a human and wear armor," has suddenly increased by dozens of times!
Of course he was surprised.

But for all this to happen, he has to smash the head of the hooded man in front of him first!

Lan's hood covered his silver hair and eyes, leaving only the lower half of his handsome face exposed.

It may be fascinating, but it is much less deterrent.

At least the man in front of him didn't realize what he was facing.

The solid bronze hammer, which is already heavy, becomes even more terrifying in terms of linear speed and kinetic energy after being swung in a circle by the long pole!
"Woo~" A chilling whimpering sound was heard in the air! The hammer head smashed straight into Lan's head!
Lan En raised his hand to the side of his head, with his palm facing the hammer head.

The fierce look on the leader's face remained unabated. He smashed down with a sledgehammer, and even the armored people inside would be hammered to death! What could one hand do to block the way...

But before the sturdy man could react, the expression on his face froze in an instant.

"bump!"

This is the dull sound caused by the collision between the hammer head and the flesh palm!
The hammer that hit him from the side knocked Lan En into the circular patio behind him.

But the frozen expression on the sturdy man's face didn't show any emotion such as relief or happiness.

Because as the man holding the hammer, he felt it very clearly: the man seemed to be knocked flying by him, but his palm, which was blocking the head and directly facing the hammer... was never pushed closer to the head by the impact force even by one centimeter!

I didn't defeat him in the confrontation of physical strength and knock him away... I just knocked away his weight!

——This man’s strength is totally disproportionate to his weight!
Lann's weight now only reached a few hundred kilograms, but the force he could lift and destroy was obviously far greater than this.

If he didn't use proper martial arts techniques, this would be the situation he's in now: he wouldn't even feel anything in the power confrontation, but his body would have been knocked off the ground.

"what!"

It was obviously the one swinging the hammer, but now this sturdy man was the first to roar.

Because Lan En did not let go when he fell from the roof, he pulled the hammer head and pulled the opposite side down as well.

The height difference was more than three meters, and Lan En still did not deliberately stop.

So after pulling the strong man opposite him down, Lan En's body did not stop. Instead, he slid back a distance following the momentum and hit the curved wall of the circular patio.

The entire patio is made of white marble, but the wall at this location seems to have a hole the size of a person, blocked by a pile of wooden boards and rubble.

After Lan En crashed into it, there was an immediate sound of wooden boards breaking, and half of his body went into the gap through the big hole.

It was pitch black inside because there was no light, but Lan En, who was halfway inside, seemed to have known it and turned his head to the right.

"It's a bit dangerous here right now, you stay here for now... huh?!"

Holding the hammer in his hand, he spoke the words he had prepared long ago to appease the hider. However, the amber cat's eyes glowed in the dimness, and the demon hunter's tone was filled with surprise.

He seemed to recognize something.

"Phidias? Why are you here?!"

But the sculptor didn't have low-light vision, and he was now terribly frightened, so he simply screamed, "Ah!"

It was not until Lan En moved the half of his body that was blocking the gap out again and the light came in that the sculptor from Athens was stunned.

"Lan, Lan?! Oh, my God! Thank the gods for sending you to me, my friend!"

"Yes, yes," Lan En responded casually, "but wait for me first."

The sturdy man opposite was obviously quite skilled. Even though he was forced to fall from a height of more than three meters, he still stood firm and kept trying to snatch his weapon back from the enemy.

But his face turned red, and the bronze hammer head seemed to be melted in the enemy's palm, unable to move at all!
"Malaka!"

He cursed angrily, his lips moving, obviously wanting to say something even dirtier.

But he no longer had the chance.

"Let go! I'm going to... touch you!"

His lips were still uttering regular words one second, but the next moment, the huge impact from the side made his facial muscles ripple like liquid.

His neck twisted suddenly to the left like some kind of spring toy, making a 'cracking' sound of a broken bone. Then, due to the elasticity of the muscles, his neck, which had been twisted to the limit, suddenly snapped back into place like a spring toy.

Even at this moment, his lips still retained the movement from when he had just pronounced the word.

For the sake of aesthetics and not scaring his friends, Lan En did not use the impact of his fists recklessly.

The burly bandit in front of him just fell limply to the ground, and then the whites of his eyes gradually became red from right to left.

If we use Lan En's normal strength, his head still has a chin and neck connected, which means his bones are strong.

After dealing with the burly bandit, Lan watched Phidias crawl out of the gap.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, but when they met again they were old friends under such circumstances. They held each other's hands and hugged each other slightly.

"You saved me again, Lan!"

Phidias said with emotion. He was wearing a blue Greek robe that was convenient for movement, and his hair was not trimmed, so he looked quite sloppy.

"I really didn't expect it! In the middle of nowhere, I thought I was going to die here! Die at the hands of these shameless bandits! I didn't expect you to come!"

"I didn't expect that either." Lan En was also very curious. "I just heard that there was someone behind the breach in the wall of the patio, but I didn't expect it to be you."

"To be honest, I heard that you were protecting the statue of Zeus in Olympia, and I wanted to catch up with you. But what are you doing here?"
