Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 43 Melee
A huge, nameless strange tree appeared in front of us. Its branches were very thick and some strange "bubble houses" "grew" on them.

These bubble houses are slightly larger than an adult, and the walls are strange, as if they are made up of a bunch of bubbles, fluffy and soft.

A group of terrifying-looking mantis people were under the giant tree, wielding two serrated swords and fighting against Elizabeth, the guards, and a large group of cat people.

The scene was already quite chaotic.

"Meow!" The tiger-striped warrior jumped high and pounced on a mantis man.

The mantis man shook his body and jumped away quickly, but his movements were not as flexible as those of the cat man. After the tiger-striped warrior missed his first attack, he stepped on the tree trunk in front of him with both feet, did a triangle bounce, and instantly came behind the mantis man.

The cat raised its claws, and with two clanging sounds, it swept across the mantis man's back.

The sharp cat claws left two deep scratches on the mantis man's shell, and the shell was torn, revealing the disgusting green flesh inside.

The mantis man swung his knife back, and the tiger-striped warrior did a backflip and jumped away.

"Although cat claws are sharp, they are too short and can only injure the surface." The head of the guards shouted, "Use a long sword to penetrate the armor and stab it in to effectively kill them."

"I still have teeth, meow." The tiger-striped warrior jumped onto the mantis man's back, strangled his neck with both hands, and then bit the mantis on the top of its head with a "wow". The sharp cat teeth pierced the mantis's head shell and penetrated into its brain.

The mantis man fell to the ground and died without a sound.

The chief guard gave the tiger-striped warrior a thumbs-up: "As expected, you are the strongest warrior of the cat-people."

However, the captain of the guards turned his head to look at the other side and his brows immediately frowned.

A mantis man attacks a human guard.

The guard swung his one-handed sword and slashed at him, but the mantis man blocked it with his hand knife.

"Zheng!"

With a crisp sound, the guard's one-handed sword was actually knocked away.

The mantis man slashed with his other hand, and the guard quickly blocked it with the shield in his left hand. Clang, he blocked it, but the guard retreated several steps.

The human guards are not as agile as the tiger-striped warriors, and these human guards are all old.

When they escorted Elizabeth out of the royal capital 16 years ago, many of them were already middle-aged. Now, many of them are over 50 years old, and the captain of the guards is even 65 years old. None of them are as agile as they were when they were young.

"Be careful!" Another guard roared and pounced forward, swinging his one-handed sword and slashing at the mantis man's back. The sword did hit the mantis man hard, but the blade failed to penetrate the armor and was actually bounced off by the mantis man's shell.

The guard looked down at his sword and found that there was a small crack on the blade.

"Damn it! My sword is no longer effective." The guard roared. The mantis man turned around and swung at him with a knife. He had no shield in his hand, so he had to jump back to avoid it. He tripped over a tree root and fell with a thud. He rolled backwards several times before he avoided the mantis man's subsequent attacks.

It turns out that not only the guards are old, but their weapons are also old.

It has been 16 years, a full 16 years of hiding in the remote border area to raise Elizabeth. They have lived in an environment with a lack of various supplies for many years, and their weapons and armor have not been maintained. It is not surprising that something like this is happening before them.

At this moment, a red shadow rushed into the battlefield.

Zhang Jingyi and Luna are here!

Luna stood still for a moment: "I am going to fight, Your Majesty, please wait behind." Zhang Jingyi: "Okay!"

He put his hands on the wolf's back and jumped off it.

Luna then let out a roar and pounced on the mantis man, biting him on the head. Her sharp fangs directly pierced through the mantis man's skull.

The two guards were overjoyed: "The werewolf warriors from Gilneas are here."

Luna stood up, waved her hand majestically, and used Claw Strike, knocking another mantis man next to her to the ground.

The guard was greatly encouraged and quickly picked up the one-handed sword and shield again and continued fighting with the mantis man.

Zhang Jingyi stood behind, looking at the scene in astonishment. It was the dark night, the dim moonlight, and countless shadows leaping and fighting around the strange giant tree. Shouts and roars came one after another.

"Where is my wife?" Zhang Jingyi turned around and began to look for her. He saw Elizabeth chanting magic among a dozen guards not far away. Red fire elves were spinning and dancing around her. She waved her wand forward: [Fireball].

A fireball flew out from the tip of the wand and hit a mantis man. The mantis man made a strange squeaking sound and turned into ashes in an instant, just like the lizard man who was burned to ashes when she first demonstrated her cooking skills, and turned into a pile of black powder in the trash can.

Zhang Jingyi: So this is how you cook?
Mantis A: "Hiss, hiss, hiss!" (There is a magician over there)
Mantis B: "Hiss, hiss, hiss!" (She can't be allowed to cast magic comfortably)
Mantis A: "Hiss, hiss, hiss!" (We said the same thing, hiss, hiss, hiss, why do the translations have different meanings?)

Mantis B: "Hiss, hiss, hiss!" (I don't know either.)
A large group of Mantis people rushed towards where Elizabeth was.

The cat people and the guards quickly intercepted them and prevented them from passing, and a fight broke out between the two sides.

Just then...

A small mantis man emerged from the strange big tree. It was a very small mantis man, less than half a person's height, with a dark green shell. It was not easy to notice in the dark night. It observed where Elizabeth was.

Instead of jumping down from the tree and rushing over, he leaped suddenly, spread his wings, and flew over silently. It turned out that the mantis man could fly short distances, usually only a few meters to tens of meters. If he jumped from a high place, he could fly farther.

The small mantis man took advantage of the height of the tree and flew over a distance of more than 30 meters to the top of Elizabeth's head. Then he suddenly fell down, swung his two hand knives, and chopped at Elizabeth's head.

Elizabeth was completely unaware of this.

"Wife, watch out for your head!" Zhang Jingyi yelled.

Elizabeth was startled and looked up, just in time to see the Mantis Man falling rapidly with the cold light shining on his hand knife.

【Ice Shield】

Elizabeth quickly cast a defensive magic that did not require any chanting.

"Zheng!"

The mantis man's hand knife slashed on the ice shield, and ice chips flew everywhere, but the two knives were finally blocked, and Elizabeth couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A guard nearby also rushed over and stood between Elizabeth and the mantis man. The man and the mantis man exchanged three or five sword strikes, and it was unclear who would win for a while.

Zhang Jingyi rushed to Elizabeth and pushed her behind him: "Wife, are you okay?"

Elizabeth showed surprise on her face: "I'm fine, why are you here?"
