Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mysterious Candidate 2
Weeds fly, dust and sand rise. Another cyclone spawned at Newcastle's feet, and in an instant he came to the lion squad, facing the soldier in the middle, and then lightly rested his palm against the shield, and his left hand was even in his pocket. At this moment, a near-materialized cyclone was formed on Newcastle's arm, and it slammed into the shield.
All this happened in just a few breaths, and no one expected that in the next second, the violent cyclone would shatter the hard shield made of Ugin, and the sound of the crash of broken metal exploded in the dusk field.
Shocked, undoubtedly shocked. Some of these candidates had heard of Newcastle's defeat of Maggie, but they had never seen the miraculous master among the candidates, and the sound of cold air was heard one after another.
I saw that the rolling cyclone did not stop after breaking through the absolute defense of the lion team, but continued to impact the body of the lion team member. I have to say that these battle-hardened soldiers have amazing reflexes, and at the moment of the sudden change, they immediately abandoned the broken shields, and the hands covered with metal armor immediately held the shields on both sides, and the other two soldiers also immediately understood, and the two shields merged into a sharp corner, intending to break through the whirlwind.
"The mantis arm is a car. Newcastle dropped a sentence lightly, his face not angry or happy.
I saw that the whirlwind quickly spread out in the stunned eyes of everyone, expanding into two "wind walls" with strong winds, and Newcastle actually wanted to squeeze the entire lion team into the wind zone under his control.
The loose earth and dead grass in the dusk field moved with the wind for a while, and the broken bones and rusty iron buried in the soil layer were exposed, making the already decaying site even more solemn. In the field of the wind, there seemed to be a dragon with skeletal wings flapping violently, stirring the air into a dark turbulence.
"Oh, it's this guy again?" Director Sava crossed his arms on the steps of the Dusk Arena with his arms folded over his chest, his white gibe hunting, "Lee, he seems to be interested in you, since I heard your name in the martial arts dojo yesterday." ”
"Hmm. Li Shiyi's eyes were cold, and the hilt of the knife in his hand was secretly clenched, "I heard Shrek and Sophia mention it yesterday, thanks to him, Maggie hasn't woken up yet." ”
"You don't have to worry about Maggie's situation. However, these Lion Legionnaires brought by Enzo could not make any trips, and everyone knew that Achilles was notoriously 'caring for his subordinates'. Lee, don't let him do anything excessive, or the vice principal's side will be in trouble."
"Yes, Director. ”
The wind was screaming, and the air pressure between the two wind walls was extremely high, and it could be seen that the lion team that had been drinking blood on the battlefield in the past was all red at this time, and the sudden increase in pressure made them a little breathless.
"What kind of trick is this?!, I've never seen it before. Some of the candidates were surprised and had questions.
"Don't worry about it so much, let's go too, we can't let that guy steal the limelight alone!"
"Yes, defeat the Lion Squad, and we will be freshmen at the Imperial Military Academy!"
"That's right! Rush up now, maybe the freshman ranking can be a little higher!"
As soon as these words came out, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the eyes of the candidates began to become hot and excited, like a pack of hungry hyenas seeing a lion that had been injured and dying, and in order to survive, they did not mind tearing the seemingly powerful enemy into pieces of flesh to feed their stomachs. Besides, God has given such a good opportunity, and it would be a complete fool not to grasp it.
"Friend, I'm Torre here to help you!" a candidate in an inky blue jacket took the brunt of the attack, volleying a kick into the Lion Squad's shield.
As the saying goes, several other hot-eyed candidates also joined the battle between Newcastle and the Lions with their own weapons, maces, iron swords, etc.
Lions are still lions even when they are sick! Rich combat experience and strong iron bones do not allow them to wear down the title of the Lion Legion. Although Newcastle's strength was really unexpected by the Lions, they did not pay attention to other fledgling candidates.
Feeling the impact of the outside world on the "Lion Prison" getting stronger and stronger, the arms of the soldiers of the Lion Squad were trembling, their ears were buzzing, their steel boots were hooked into the ground, and they were squeezed by the strong wind to push out of the deep ditch, but they still struggled to support the lion shield that symbolized bravery and glory.
"Imperial two attack one!" commanded the commander of the lion squad, his voice already starting to grow hoarse.
The execution of the Lions squad was unquestionable, despite the sharp pain coming from the joints with every small step they moved. Their shoulders pressed together to form a tight circle. At the same time, a yellow shock wave erupted from the inside out of the Lion Prison, shaking many candidates who had no time to resist out of the scope of the Lion Prison.
"Combo?!" Newcastle raised an eyebrow. With a wave of the left hand in his pocket, a "wind shuttle" instantly took shape to offset the incoming shock wave. "It seems that the soldiers of the Josephs Empire still have a lot of secrets. His voice was inaudible.
"It's just in vain. ”
A tiny white ripple flashed under Newcastle's eyes, and his right hand clenched into a fist, and the wind pressure of the blast quickly diminished. Before the Lions could catch their breath, they were shocked to find a strong wind forming from the center of the "Lion Prison", and their bodies were carrying by the strong wind towards Newcastle's attack range.
The soldier with the shield facing Newcastle and the commander of the lion squad was the first to withstand the vector mutation that could not withstand the force. The uncontrollable speed of his body approached Newcastle, but the shield in his hand became the biggest accomplice of the wind at this moment, like a huge sail in the waves carrying the hull to the deep sea of death.
Director Savoie, who was on the steps in the middle of the dusk field, saw the sudden change in the form of the field, and the forefoot of his left foot wearing clogs lifted slightly, and fell heavily to the ground. "Click", crisp and powerful.
As if receiving some order, on the other side of the wooden table, a black shadow carrying a knife burst out.
"Stop!" In the face of Newcastle's strange fist wrapped in the wind, the commander of the lion squad did not drop the lion shield in his hand, in its opinion, the weapon can be shattered, but it must not be abandoned before falling, that is the bottom line and dignity of a soldier!
At this moment, a yellow-skinned hand held a sharp knife as black as ink and slashed through the air, the black knife image was a barrier between Newcastle and the soldier, and at the same time cut off the pull of the wind. The soldier took the opportunity to smash the giant shield into the earth with all his might, stopping the great inertia of his advance.
"Black Tang knife, Oriental. Newcastle looked at Li Shiyi with a smile on his face, and the wind around him died down in an instant. "You are Li Shiyi, the president of the student union of Department B?"
Li Shiyi put the knife into the sheath and glanced at Newcastle indifferently, his figure was tall and slender, and he was dressed simply and decently, if it weren't for the fierce and domineering scene just now, he would have no doubt that this candidate named Newcastle was a suave gentleman.
"If you are really a candidate, please stop here, you have already passed the retest, there is no need to continue to hurt innocent Imperial soldiers, they are just testers. Li Shiyi said.
Newcastle dusted off the dust on his white shirt, looked away from Li Shiyi, snorted lightly, and said, "None of the people who defend the imperial power are innocent. ”
"Imperial power?" Li Shiyi's eyes were like torches, "They fought bravely on the front line to protect the land, homeland and relatives behind them, what does it have to do with imperial power?"
"What about the so-called 'enemy soldiers' who were killed by them? ”
"They are aggressors. ”
Hearing Li Shiyi's righteous words, Newcastle smiled, "Those who are greedily in power are the invaders, and they," Newcastle raised his chin towards the lion squad, "they are the executioner's accomplices and manipulated pawns, hateful and pathetic." ”
The commander of the lion squad fell to the ground, gasping for air, his eardrums bursting from the wind, bleeding, and the hands that clutched the shield were chapped with chapped skin and blood. But he still locked his eyes on Newcastle, and he didn't know what the expression was on his face in the helmet.
Li Shiyi sensed that Newcastle's words seemed to have another meaning, and responded, "What is the purpose of your coming to participate in the freshman assessment?"
"Of course, it's to find a place to take in our poor students, otherwise what else can it be for? Newcastle was a little defiant between his words.
Li Shiyi seemed to be a little uninterested in Newcastle calling himself a "senior", his sword eyebrows moved slightly, and said: "Then please control your strength, prove your strength, and then pass the retest, it is enough, don't hurt the soldiers of the empire." ”
"Hehe, of course. Newcastle still had a faint smile, and he gave people a warm affinity in his quiet state, "But the senior seems to have forgotten that you don't belong to the Josephs Empire, but come from the Eastern Continent, a small country in decline. "Newcastle has clearly considered itself a member of the Imperial Military Academy.
But before Newcastle could finish speaking, the black blade glowed with cold light and was already between his neck.
"What else do you know?" Li Shiyi's words were deeply hostile.
"Then it depends on what Senior Li wants to ask?" Feeling Li Shiyi's cold killing intent, Newcasi did not panic at all.
The surrounding candidates were also a little confused, they had heard that the student union president of the B department of the Imperial Military Academy was a cold "killing star", but they didn't expect this "killing star" to draw a knife against the candidates because of a few inexplicable words.
"That's enough! A deep voice came from outside the crowd of onlookers.
The candidates consciously made a way out of the way, and Director Sava and several inspectors assigned by the academy walked in together.
"Lee, put the knife down. Sava whispered as he looked at his student, whose breathing was a little disturbed.
"It seems that I can't answer more questions from Senior Li today, which is really a pity. Another small whirlwind formed under Newcastle's feet, and the long black hair swayed lightly, leaving the tip of Li Shiyi's knife in an instant.
Li Shiyi did not continue to ask Newcastle's purpose, he listened to the words of Director Savoy, and the black mang swept back into the scabbard. But in his heart, he has put this candidate of unknown origin on the "danger list".
The wind from the sea was a little salty, the air was wet, and the sun eventually spread to every corner of the twilight field.
It's just that in the weedy area where no one is looking, swarms of ants are gnawing at the white skeletons that have not completely decayed, rustling.
