Chapter 25: The Feud (1)
"How did you do that?" I looked at the elf who had quietly taken my crossbow arrows with a smirk, and although my expression was like this, I didn't feel the slightest bit of joy, not the slightest bit of joy.
The rest of us didn't seem to see what was happening between me and Ciel, either because the current situation wasn't so good. And that's true, even though we have so many helpers at once, we still face so many enemies, and among them there is a bewitching commander of the Apostle clan and that Kress. Wait, what is that Enchantress doing now? Up to now, she hadn't made any moves, except for a slight move to avoid the magic cast by the magician named Viren, just smiling weirdly and looking at Viren who was still casting spells. It wasn't until Viren had to focus his attention on Eurie Ellie that he frowned and asked, "Do you want to die?"
However, Yuri Ellie smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Viren, I don't think I'm going to die at your hands. You made a good impression on me during my previous encounter with the Indomitable City, so I'm not going to kill you now. But do you think that just a few of you can get out alive? Today is really my lucky day, I thought that killing an undead soul would be an unexpected surprise for me, but what I didn't expect was that I could also capture you back and sacrifice it to the mourner. By the way, by the way, the bereaved lord already knew about your escape, but I didn't expect you to be so fast. It seems that there should still be inner demons among our apostles. β
Guilty?Viren's heart jumped, he didn't want Breitsoe's identity to be revealed. At the moment, Breitso is still a very important card, and of all the forces that rebelled against the Apostles, Breitso was the most unexpected card. So no matter what, Viren can't let Breitso be exposed. Of course, if they were able to slay this terrible Eurie here, then they could reveal their secrets at will, but it was very difficult or even impossible to accomplish. So, Viren sneered and said to Yuri Ellie, "What do you mean, do you still think that I don't have the ability to fight your master? It's ridiculous, have you forgotten who beat you and your master half to death in the Indomitable City?"
"Well, of course I know it's your handiwork. And I also know that you were the one who slaughtered dozens of innocent soldiers of your country. Unexpectedly, instead of being angry at Viren's taunt, Yuri Allie said sarcastically, "I know who we carried from your country to our world like herbivores without any ability to resist?
As soon as Eurielle's words were finished, Viren's magic had arrived. But I have to say that Yuri Ellie's speed. Perhaps the leader of this enchantress's movement speed is nowhere near as fast as Breitso, the number one assassin in the world, or even the speed of the War Blademaster. But for Yuri Ellie to be the leader of a special unit of the Apostle Clan, there must still be an ability that no one else can match. That is, the magical ability to predict. That's why Viren often misses when he uses magic to attack Yuri Ellie. Because when the attack on Yuri Ellie has just begun, Yuri Allie can predict the direction and strength of the attack of the person attacking her in advance, so that Yuri Ellie has enough time to dodge this attack in advance. As for magic, Eurie Ellie can dodge it as well.
When the leader of the Enchantress once again failed Viren's fire magic, she was about to continue taunting Viren when she realized that something was wrong, and she flew into the air almost without even thinking about it. It wasn't until she was suspended in mid-air that Yuri Ellie looked at the ground in fear. Where she was just now, it had been scorched black by the flames. Witnessing such a scene, Yuri Ellie's eyes became serious for a moment: "Your Majesty the Former King, if you are serious, you should know that this is now a one-on-one duel between me and your Grand Magician of Viren, and you are not suspected of interfering like this. β
"Are you one-on-one?" Firestorm looked at the annoyed and angry Yuri Ellie somewhat exaggeratedly, and then at the shrugging Viren, and continued to ask, "I'm sorry, I don't know. If you're really going to be one-on-one, what's going on with the dogs you're letting go?"
Obviously, the dog that Firestorm is talking about is naturally this strange army. It wasn't until he tangled with them before the firestorm that he realized that these armies were completely different from the attackers they had encountered near the Dry Lands. The previous attackers were almost all regular soldiers of the Danmoth Empire, at least from the Danmos Empire's point of view, they were the Empire's legitimate. And the enemy they are facing now is really a little weird.
From the moment they came into contact, the attackers did not make a sound. Of course, if the sound of their armor and the ground as they moved forward was counted, then it certainly wasn't. They didn't communicate with each other at all, and their leader's command of the army was confusing. Or rather, they don't have any leaders at all. At first, everyone including Firestorm thought that their commander, if not Kress, would be Eurie Ellie. By now, however, the contact station had been around for a long time, but Kress remained motionless like an iron tower, and Yuri Ellie did not seem to have any interest in commanding the army, but rather had a keen interest in Veren. So, who is actually in command of this army?
As we all know, the soul of an army is its commander, and if an army does not have a commander in command, then the army has no soul, if it is not a rout, then it is a puppet.
Wait, puppet Firestorm suddenly thought of this possibility, and he hurriedly flew into the air to find out, but as soon as he flew into the air, Firestorm felt a terrifying murderous aura that forced him to return to the ground. And when he returned to the ground, before he could be afraid of what had happened in the air, the ground was already surrounded by soldiers who could not communicate.
If this was the case with Firestorm before, then there would probably be only one dead end waiting for Firestorm. But now he's no longer alone. Now he has many, many friends. Well, there's nothing wrong with saying buddies either. Although, Firestorm still has a lot of questions about the few people who have come to help. For example, where did they come from? When Lady Sigh spoke to these people before, Firestorm only vaguely sensed that this group of people was not simple, on the contrary, their strength was unfathomable. Let's start with the young man who was at the forefront of the charge and walked proudly in the enemy army with a stick in his hand, Firestorm had a feeling that he was far more powerful than his own personal guard captain, that is, his brother Tie Shan. What's even more bizarre is that all the people who came to their rescue, including him, were only wearing brown leather armor. The magician, on the other hand, was covered in a mage robe, but presumably wearing the same leather armor. But it seems that their defenses are much higher than those of Iron Mountain, who wears heavy knightly armor. Now about the magician, oh my god, Firestorm can only describe this magician as amazement. The magician was obviously younger than the young man before, but the look on his face was the same resolute. But what surprised Firestorm the most was not his age, but his ability. Water, fire, in a short period of time, this magician has already used two kinds of magic. And it looks like he'll be much more than that. If he had time in the future, Firestorm would definitely have a good exchange with this young magician. As for the undead who was of the same clan as the Lady of Lightness, Firestorm didn't have much interest. (Ezer faints in the toilet.) The one who puzzled Firestorm the most was the elf who dared to go head-to-head with the Lady of Sighs, Ciel.
For some reason, when the undead only gave a brief introduction to Lady Sigh, Firestorm imprinted the name Ciel into his heart. What shocked Firestorm even more was that this elf actually dared to collide head-on with the Lady of Light Sighs.
Sighing at the lady's ability, Firestorm already had a deep understanding. Firestorm had a feeling that even if he and Iron Mountain Banks together would not be the opponent of the Sigh Lady at full strength, but what he didn't expect was that this elf not only didn't show Lady Sigh a look as soon as he came up, but also used a small trick to steal Lady Sigh's crossbow arrow for his own use. This is really a miraculous ability! Until now, these two beautiful women have not communicated too much, but their eyes will look at each other from time to time, and each other will look at each other with disdain and hostility.
Firestorm didn't know what the two ladies had to make them so incompatible, but Firestorm felt that he should be safe. When this matter is over, Firestorm just wants to wander the world with Iron Mountain and go on adventures. As for the life and death of any continent, it doesn't matter anymore.
Wait, wait, said Iron Mountain, Firestorm glanced around and saw that Iron Mountain was not nearby. What's going on? Firestorm wanted to fly into the air again to find out the situation, but he didn't have the courage, the murderous aura just now was too powerful, and Firestorm believed that if he did this again, it would only be thankless. "Iron Mountain, where are you, have you seen Iron Mountain? It's the black knight!"
Qi Tianci, who was still busy fighting monsters, turned around and asked suspiciously: "There are two black knights there, one riding a horse and one not riding, which one are you talking about?"
Wait, the two of them said that it was not good, and it didn't matter if they would be knocked down and forcibly lifted into the air if they flew into the sky again. Sure enough, that powerful killing intent is still there, but the target of this killing intent is no longer himself, but, it's Tie Shan!
It turns out that this is the way it happened. When Iron Mountain saw that Firestorm was suddenly in danger, he immediately judged that in addition to the threat to Firestorm's life, it was his own brother Kresss. Therefore, Iron Mountain immediately rushed to the front of Kress and confronted him as fast as he could, after crashing into a dozen attackers. During the confrontation, some of the uneyed creeps tried to attack Iron Mountain, but they were all knocked away by Iron Mountain and Kresss.
"Brother. Iron Mountain took off his helmet and tossed it aside. Tie Shan's eyes were a little yellow, and the faΓ§ade was bloodshot.
"Hmph. "Kress didn't speak, of course, that's why he couldn't speak. Like Iron Mountain, Kress took off his helmet and tossed it aside, then dismounted from the horse and looked at Iron Mountain with a sinister smile.
"Long time no see, brother. Is it time for you to decide to fight to the death?"
"Ahh Maybe Kress was trying to tell him that he finally had a chance to kill Iron Mountain.
"Let's do it. Iron Mountain drew his huge knight's sword and shield and stood proudly.
Cress, on the other hand, smirked and pulled a small dagger from his waist. However, in the heavy snow, this short sword suddenly grew longer and larger, and it was actually as big as the knight's sword of Iron Mountain.
"Sword of the Ancestors. Tie Shan smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect me to bury it so deeply, but you still found it." But I tell you, this sword was handed down to me by our ancestors, and you are not qualified to take this sword. β
Kress laughed, his throat making an irregular sound, and pointed to the sword in his hand and then to Iron Mountain. The meaning is probably this: The sword is here with me, you have the ability to take it?
Tie Shan shook his head gloomily: "Kress, you are my brother, I don't want to hurt you. β
Kress roared, clenching at his throat. The meaning of this is already very clear, that is, you Tieshankou said that you don't want to hurt your biological brother, so why did you turn your biological brother into what he is now?
Iron Mountain doesn't know what to justify now, although Kress became mute by self-inflicted, but it was for self-defense. If he hadn't defeated Kress at that time, it would have been him and Firestorm who would have died.
