Section 93 Ranger 10
The fake scholar lady quickly learned everything about the situation in the town. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Along the way, all the sentinels, guards, or residents fell. They didn't die, they simply fell asleep. This is one of the most superficial and simple ways to use the magic of the Seventh Law, but it is enough to deal with ordinary people. In fact, if they hadn't been wounded and didn't have much to spare, they would all have died—killing a sleeping man is never easy.
At the entrance of that building, there is the most rigorous protection. Twenty or more soldiers, clad in exoskeleton armor, guarded the place. But in the face of magic, they are also unable to put up any effective resistance. She couldn't help but think of the demon-resistant metal that Kecha Goyat had made before.
If that kind of thing is made and applied on a large scale (which has been proven by Kecha Goat), the warlock's advantage and deterrence will be reduced by at least more than half. So, while both Styx and Radiant Moon have this magical alloy as a very important target, in fact, if the method of making this kind of thing is in hand, it is difficult to say whether it will be mass-produced or sealed in some unknown database.
The fake scholar lady has left these insights behind her for the time being. She quickly walked into the temporary headquarters, and found the last traces of Lu Wu here, including a bed, a messy quilt, an overturned chair, and so on. Now she was even more sure that Lu Wu was dead, and it wasn't even a simple and direct way to die. Obviously, the Ranger of the Stygian Moon had kidnapped him, and the purpose of his captivity was certainly not to have a small tea party.
Legend has it that the Rangers are the elite unit of low-level warlocks in the Stygian camp, with an extraordinary status and treatment. But on the other hand, there is rigorous training and testing. The harsh training and combat environment has caused these Rangers to almost always have psychological distortions (imagine living in the wilderness for tens or even hundreds of days without even a single person to speak, and even degrading their language skills). They even have a despicable tradition: the torture of captives.
This kind of thing, even in the Stygian camp, has nothing to boast about. For this kind of thing is obviously meaningless unless it is necessary for a special interrogation - if it must be said to be meaningful, it is to make the enemy more tenacious and more inclined to fight to the death. It will make the enemy's fear of surrender more than the fear of death.
The remnants of magic in the air were gone, but the smell of blood alone pointed to the sky. Apparently the Ranger had captured Lu Wu and left using his hoverkpack - this kind of solo flying device was disgusting to say. This kind of thing can rely on the effect of the Resonance Stone, run for a long time, and combined with their special skill of leaving no magical residues, these rangers are almost as slippery as an eel. As long as the first hit doesn't kill or hit them hard, there's no way to catch them. It turns out that the Rangers are worthy of the importance that the Radiant Moon camp takes them: if someone kills a Ranger, then the results are not calculated according to the low-level Warlock, but to the high-level Warlock.
Not to mention that her knee was aching like a knife at the moment, even if she was willing to continue the pursuit desperately, it would be useless. She had to admit that she had completely lost her target, and now there was nothing to chase. The Ranger probably didn't know where to pick up the hapless Lu Wu right now—maybe at this moment, the unfortunate Legion Commander had been dismembered into a pile of minced meat, right?
"I hope there's still a chance to see you!" she said into the night sky, then turned and left.
Overhead, the clouds were turning in one direction, and the Stygian Moon was completely obscured by the clouds, and the cold light of the Bright Moon was shining on the earth.
The Warlock of the Stygian lifted the captive in his hand, levitating at a height as far as he could. The mortal in his hand should have been frightened stupidly, and he didn't even dare to struggle. It was obvious that they were already so high above the ground that at the slightest struggle he would fall from the sky.
In fact, although he couldn't see the other party's face because of the angle, he could completely imagine Lu Wu's pale face distorted by fear. Acrophobia is a very common condition in humans, and the vast majority of people have this problem to some extent. But this is also the usual state of life that lives on the earth.
Of course, even for those special people who don't have a fear of heights, the fear of death is not good. Anyway, this is also suspended in the air without any protection.
This is the result he set for Lu Wu. From this high sky, perform a high-altitude landing - not much different from a skydive on Earth, the only problem is that there is no parachute.
In fact, the pain in his body reminded him that this state was also very stressful for him. His floating backpack had enough strength to support two people, but carrying one person in the air like this was not a labor-saving task.
"Regret it," the Stygian Warlock shouted his last words, then let go of his hand. As he expected, at this time, out of instinctive desire to survive, Lu Wu would grab his deliberately stretched out foot.
Of course, this didn't make any sense, as a warlock, he had a hundred ways to let Lu Wu's futile hands go. In fact, he doesn't even know how to use magic. Because it was clear that he was wearing a tight-fitting flight suit all over his body, so that there were no corners to hold onto. In other words, the only place Lu Wu could grasp was his ankles. He could even wait patiently for Lu Wu's strength to run out, and then finally his fingers helplessly let go and fell from the air with despair. In the process, he could appreciate the face distorted by fear, and perhaps hear the cry of despair and fear.
But he definitely didn't expect the other party to burst out with incredible strength, and when he grabbed his foot, his body suddenly flipped upward. In fact, the movements were so fast that he didn't even know how he got caught in the back. By the time he came to his senses, he felt a deadly shiver penetrate his nerves.
He turned his head with difficulty, and everything was incredible. It was not Lu Wu who was close to him, not the ordinary and young young man who even looked a little stupid and ridiculous, but a woman.
A girl with purple eyes, the two of them were so close that he could almost feel the instinctive sense of extreme danger, but it was too late.
"You're ......" Even in this last minute, his rigorous training worked. He had already seen that this woman was also a warlock. But he swore he had detected the remnants of magic before he caught the imposter (in that case, it was not so much his caution as a habit of his training). In other words, this person is by no means an illusion to hide his face. “…… Doppelganger?"
His physical sensations clearly told him that something was piercing his spine. He was in pain, and his body was losing sensation at a rapid pace. What a terrible feeling it was, and though he had never experienced it in his life, when it struck, he knew by instinct what it was, and the shadow of death had hung over him.
It was as if the body had ceased to exist and had been cut off from the mind.
But Rao was like this, and he still had time to do one last thing. The energy that supported the hovering backpack was suddenly cut off, and according to the laws of gravity, his body immediately began to fall freely.
He knew that he would die, but the fury and hatred engraved in his bones made him want to drag this Radiant Moon Warlock to die with him at all costs!
On the ground of the wilderness, a dull crash sounded. Under the light of the bright moon, a puff of smoke and dust filled the air.
……
"Did you say that the Warlock of the Stygian Moon would come to me tonight?" Lu Wu asked, looking at the small transparent "skylight" at the top of the tent. Tonight is a bit weird, the glow of the Bright Moon is clearly visible due to the obscuring effect of the clouds, while the Dark Moon (which is already very dim) is completely invisible. "Completely unable to deal with the Warlock?"
"Yes, there is hardly a good way," the master seemed to sigh as well. "The only way to sleep soundly in this world is to sleep in a floating fortress. ”
Even if he was a master, he didn't expect that the warlock of the Dark Moon would come to the door inexplicably. On top of that, it's still the Ranger who is notoriously difficult to handle. In the past few days, he has a better understanding of the Rangers of the Dark Moon. For these guys, the rewards offered by the Huiyue camp have always been very exciting. But the problem is that there are not many people who can receive the relevant rewards. These guys aren't very capable of frontal combat, but they have amazing stealth abilities. They are like poisonous snakes, usually hidden in unknown corners, so that you can't find them, but from time to time they will pop up and suddenly bite you.
"The Rangers are hard to deal with. Lu Wu felt that his thoughts were a little trance-like, and besides, the master seemed to be a little different from usual. "If you use the Rangers to attack the middle and lower rank officers, it should cause great chaos in a short period of time, right?"
"That's true," the master's voice was a little unreal, faint, as if it came from a long distance. "If you really rely on mortal armies to fight, this situation is difficult to avoid. It only takes a handful of warlocks to leave an entire army in chaos and completely inoperable. Fortunately, the focus of the war was never on these ground legions. So you see, these middle and lower-ranking officers who can be assassinated at will are actually worthless - because honestly, all of them die without affecting the tide of the war at all. With rare exceptions, assassination is usually against the rules of the Rangers, as they are valuable recouting forces and cannot afford to waste their limited time on worthless targets. In addition, you also understand that whether it is the Dark Moon or the Bright Moon, they are very experienced in this situation, otherwise they would not have such a complete system and tradition, and the commander will be made up for immediately after the death of the commander. ”
"I see. Lu Wu thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. Comparing it to the situation on Earth, it is as absurd for him as a squadron leader to be the supreme commander of a corps as a company commander to command a brigade. In this case, the legion should have been abolished long ago. And in this world, let alone the company commander, as long as there is a platoon commander in command, the army is not finished. It turns out that there is such an idea in it. "It's that I'm thinking too much, it should be just an accident......"
"Oh, it's not your fault, it's good to be able to mix up to this level in such a short time in this world. ”
"What?" Lu Wu suddenly realized that something was not quite right. Suddenly, he remembered that the voice of the master just now did not come to his ears, but directly to his head. Then, he remembered that he had taken off his headphones before going to bed.
"Hey dear, it's not that I'm complimenting you, it's an objective fact. As a visitor from another world, you can climb to this point in such a short period of time, your performance is really remarkable, even I can't compare. Truth be told, the world is beautiful, but it has never been known for its hospitality. ”
"You...... Are you ......" Lu Wu wanted to get up, but found that he couldn't do it. It was as if something heavy was pressing down on him, so that he couldn't even move a finger. "Who are you, and what have you done?"
"Hey, don't be nervous, honey, you're okay, in fact I didn't do anything. The state you are in now is a state of sleep paralysis, which is very common among human beings. Your brain is now in a half-asleep state, able to think, but unable to act. As for who I am, it seems like you've guessed it, haven't you?"
"Kecha Goat?!"
