Section 207 Archons

The crowd cheered and the victory seemed unquestionable.

In the fighting skills of the Homo genus of the genus Homo who walks on two legs, getting behind the enemy and controlling the enemy from behind is a tried and tested tactic. It can even be said that if you go behind the enemy, you will basically win. Because the structure of the human body determines that the ability of this race to attack the enemy behind it is very weak. Throwing off the enemy behind you requires not only strength and skill, but also luck.

When the opponent went around behind Lu Wu and successfully strangled Lu Wu's neck with one arm, the audience had already subconsciously understood that the winner had appeared. Although they didn't know why one of the two fighters in the ring actually went distracted, thus giving their opponent a golden half second, they knew who had the absolute advantage in this situation.

"Throw in the towel!" heard the voice of his opponent. At the same time, the opponent's arms are also tightening vigorously.

Under normal circumstances, the tightening of the human neck will compress the blood vessels and trachea in the neck, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply to the brain, and the result of insufficient oxygen supply is that the brain strikes, loses its ability to function, and leads to coma. And, the harder you struggle, the easier it is to speed up the process. This is determined by human physiology.

However, this refers to normal humans.

So Lu Wu was quite puzzled.

In fact, he almost thought he had failed. But instead of attacking from behind, the opponent chose to strangle his neck from behind...... This puzzled him.

Although the effect of the Magic Ring (on the surface) is to make people react faster, move more quickly, and be more powerful, this is only an effect. Whether it is a master or amber, it has been said that the true essence of the magic ring is to control the flesh and blood. That's why the Fourth Lawkeeper would be called a necromancer - they could even control the movement of corpses.

Even dead corpses that can't move can be moved again, so that the dead joints that have dried up and stiffened are running again, so is it difficult to move the muscles a little forward and the blood vessels a little bit?

The answer is not difficult at all. Or to put it this way, Lu Wu didn't understand why his opponent would do such a stupid thing at all. When it comes to magic fighting, all joint techniques are not very useful, if not stupid.

Lu Wu immediately began to crash into the wall behind him—the transparent, perforated, but impregnable outer wall of the arena.

Unless you give up the advantage of tightening Lu Wu's neck, this kind of attack cannot be dodged.

The opponent is obviously mentally prepared for this kind of trick. This is also a matter of course, talking about what you crash into with the opponent behind you, which can also be said to be the only means of attack in this situation. But, as people know, this attack is inefficient. Before you can effectively hit the enemy behind you, you will be overwhelmed in the first place. The lack of oxygen to the brain caused by the neck being tightened is a process that is not short, but not long, and it can be effective in more than ten seconds, and the results will be in one or two minutes.

So he took the blow head-on, his back slamming into the wall. Although Lu Wu's strength was strengthened by magic power, the walls were obviously some kind of high-energy material, and the power provided by the magic ring was absolutely impenetrable.

Then the situation becomes a no-brainer. Two fighters, one strangling each other's necks from behind, and the other trying to slam the enemy in the back against the wall. Whoever can't hold it first loses.

Almost no one noticed that the High Warlock, the owner of the arena, was unconsciously squinting.

Oh no! Luo Jia, who was at the back of the audience, had become ugly. Although he has already said it in advance, if the real thing gets out of control and their whole plan fails, then he thinks that those customers who give him large commissions will probably not accept refunds.

At the end of the day, he was just an ordinary mid- and lower-ranking officer...... Wanting to put on small shoes for him, or even wanting to kill him, is a troublesome but not so difficult thing to do. As for his friends and supporters...... Where do you have friends and supporters for an intelligence trafficker? Or rather, how can you be an intelligence trafficker if you are not completely neutral?

Although Lu Wu is still trying to fight back, no matter how you look at it, it means dying and struggling.

His heart was half cold. Instead of playing against this powerhouse, Lu Wu should easily defeat a rookie to get a ring - and by the way, increase his greed and appetite. Then, like a hand, greed will push him into the trap that has been prepared long ago.

Damn, how did it get like this? I was careless...... The sweat on Luo Jia's forehead became more and more. Moreover, he also knew very well that he couldn't even explain this matter. Because he did steal time to trade with others while executing the order. He himself knew that it was not a dereliction of duty, but an efficient use of garbage time. But those customers probably won't think so.

All of a sudden, he suddenly began to regret his choice. Why should he get involved in this kind of thing? At the beginning, he just had to sell the information about Lu Wu that he had collected through various channels, so why should he go further and help them become this spy and spy? You know, others are working hard for a floating fortress - to be honest, for this kind of thing, although it is said that it takes a huge risk and cost, but at least it is worth the money (after all, there is a benefit and a risk). And his purpose is only a small reward.

I can only say that I underestimated the risks of this matter. What should he do now? In a hurry, he couldn't think of any available solution.

I can only hope that Lu Wu's wild path is strong enough.

The cheering in the audience slowly stopped, and everyone sensed that something was not quite right.

Because the dying struggle is too long.

How long a person can struggle with their neck strangled may not have been specifically tried, but there will be a psychological estimate more or less. Everyone's psychological estimation may be different, but the current situation is obviously beyond any one person.

The effect of strangling the neck was not obvious, but the impact of the dying struggle continued, and it hit the thick wall one by one.

This is the power driven by the magic ring, and it cannot be calculated based on the physical strength of a normal person. Even though this kind of attack is stupid, and the impact damage can be reduced through dodge technology, no one can withstand such a continuous impact. Although the magic ring gives the human body great strength and speed, it does not make the human body stronger. After all, flesh and blood are only flesh and blood, and they can be faster and stronger, but after all, they can't be compared to steel or high-energy materials.

More than one person has noticed that something is wrong. It stands to reason that Lu Wu, who should be strangled and have difficulty breathing, and the blood supply to the brain is insufficient and lack of oxygen, can only jump a few times. In this case, hard resistance is not a problem. But if Lu Wu keeps jumping, then strangling his neck is not a good trick.

One impact or ten impacts may not be a problem, but when it accumulates to dozens of hits, the accumulation of injuries will exceed the limit of the human body. And most importantly, in this attack, the most important head is equally attacked. In fact, Lu Wu tried his best to focus the impact on his opponent's head.

Luo Jia was surprised and delighted to see that Lu Wu actually had the upper hand in this confrontation. Finally, the other party couldn't bear this kind of impact, and after dozens or even hundreds of hits, it was normal to cause a concussion or something.

So the situation was reversed in an instant. Lu Wu could just say that he had not been hurt in any real sense except for the skin on his neck, but his opponent had already suffered dozens of heavy blows, and his brain was knocked unconscious. In such a state, there is no suspense at all.

……

In the middle of the base camp stands a multi-storey complex. By earthlings' standards, the building looks indescribably odd. It has complex geometries and a shiny surface that can only be caused by metals, crystals or glass (or minerals similar to them). If you look closely, you will see that it contains all three, with most of the columns and frames made of metal, and the rest of the world of glass or crystal. Despite all the dazzling buildings, if you look closely, you will be surprised that the structure is surprisingly simple, it does not have the complex and varied lines of traditional buildings on earth, there are no pointed vaults, no elaborate ornaments - on the contrary, it is more similar to the modern design style of the new trend: the building is simply composed of simple geometric shapes and changing planes, simple and powerful, but without losing imagination.

This is the Command, the heart and mind of this makeshift city. It can be said that in the entire base camp, it is the only building in the true sense of the word. And it is indeed worthy of its identity: under the current circumstances, all the dispatch and command orders of the entire Huiyue camp deployed at the Banshee Gate are issued from here.

In that room on the top floor of the building, a young officer knocked on the door.

The room was dark, in fact, due to the arrival of visitors, the sensor lights in the room began to glow, revealing the rickety body of the old man sitting at the table from the darkness.

"Execution...... Your Excellency ......" he began, his throat dry and his voice choppy from nervousness. The occupant of the room was not an ordinary person, but an archon, a warlock with supreme power above the entire camp. Although the Archon has been semi-retired for many years, and it is said that she has not appeared at the Council of Archons for a long time, her identity will not change.

No one knows why an archon is here. What is there in this hellish place like Banshee's Gate that is worthy of a Archon's visit? Not to mention, the troops deployed here in the Huiyue camp don't even have a real warlock legion. Hui Yue had clearly shown a clear negative attitude. At least until the Floating Fortress can be put into action, it's only on the defensive.
