Act X
Andohal, the city of sin. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is a land that has been silent for many years, and the great war of many years ago has shattered this plane that was originally carved out by the dark wizards for experimentation, and the largest piece of it has been adrift in the endless void for a long time before it was finally captured by the dark wizards of Islam and become a stable half-plane.
There are no more sapient creatures here, only the various monsters that have broken into the endless void wandering.
However, whether it is a ruined town, a forest infested with wild beasts, or a river that runs through an entire city, it is not a place of complete silence, and danger lurks within, and carelessness can be a terrible price.
Langton and Rosen were in the middle of a forest.
"Forest. ”
Looking at his surroundings, Langton had a solemn expression on his face.
"The forests of Andohal seem to be quiet and peaceful on the surface, but in fact they are one of the most dangerous places, where a large number of beasts and monsters lurk, and if they had landed in this place from the beginning, not only would they not have been able to successfully establish a stronghold for the protection of the defensive circle, but they would have to fight the beasts and lose some strength. ”
He knew the terrain of Andorhar by heart, and if it was in the ruins of a city or on the edge of a river, Langton was confident that he could build a strong stronghold in a short time, but in the forest, it was the worst-case scenario.
"Wait, why do you want to stronghold, wouldn't it be better to just kill the other Heroic Spirits?"
Rosen was a little strange, he thought it was a battle royale-style fight, but it turned out to be a war of attrition that was more instigated than anyone else?
"In the long history of the War for the Crown, there is a statistic, and that is that the probability of the winner of the first battle winning the final war is only 5 percent. ”
Langton explained, then pulled out several magic materials from the storage ring.
"The first battle, it means that almost all enemies can observe your combat style, unless you win a crushing victory, otherwise you will inevitably leak certain information to others, the simplest is the rank, the combat method you are good at, uh, but we don't have to worry about this. ”
He smiled a little helplessly.
At yesterday's dinner, almost all the Heroic Spirits put a lot of disguise on themselves, for fear that others would see any information about them, but Rosen stood up generously.
If nothing else, his ability to hide his aura alone was enough for others to tell that this was a Heroic Spirit of the Assassin rank.
Originally, Langton thought that he could rely on the assassin's ability to sneak attack, but now it's good, almost everyone knows that there is an assassin in this crown war, and they are bound to be wary.
"It doesn't matter, that's exactly what I wanted. ”
Rosen didn't care, there was nothing wrong with him showing his rank, but he was trying to tell everyone involved that he was an assassin.
"I really don't understand what you're thinking. ”
Langton shook his head, and then on the sidelines, he was about to set up a circle to drive away the beasts.
But with a low roar, in the shadows of the forest, countless pairs of eyes were revealed, staring at Langton.
“...... It's so fast. ”
Although it is called a waste material, Langton also has the strength of the black iron downstream, and in the face of the attacking beast, Langton immediately took out his magic props and prepared to attack.
"Wait. ”
Rosen pressed Langton's shoulder.
"I'll do this kind of thing. ”
Of course, Rosen's real thought was that he was worried that Langton's efficiency was too poor, but he didn't say anything, but took a step forward and pulled out his wolf knight greatsword.
"Back off. ”
He secretly separated a trace of magic power, forming a magical wall around Langton.
In the next moment, several monsters sprang out of the forest.
These monsters come in a variety of forms, mostly a collection of several beasts from the main material plane, and it seems that they are also monsters distorted by the magic of the Endless Void.
It seemed to smell the creatures, and they converged on Langton and Lawson's location.
Rosen's long sword rotated, and it seemed that a few swords were wielded casually, but they just killed those monsters, to put it mildly, effortlessly.
Templar swordsmanship is just right for this kind of strange thing.
During this period of time, Lawson had already integrated the swordsmanship he had mastered, and when he fought with the undead knight in the capital of sin, he had a deeper understanding of the use of breath, and at this time, he could match the enemies of the same level with swordsmanship alone, and in the face of these monsters that didn't even reach bronze, he was naturally relaxed.
However, the number of monsters was obviously a headache, and Langton saw that behind the few monsters that had been killed, a steady stream of monsters were pouring towards this place, and they could not be killed.
"Mr. Alphonse, we can't afford to lose it here. ”
He tried to warn Lawson, but the skeletal swordsman raised his sword flat and took a forward stance.
Did he really want to kill all the monsters in this forest by himself?
That's insane.
Langton didn't doubt that Lawson would be able to do that, but doing so would consume a lot of mana and expose his existence, which could be said to be the worst option for Langton, who was not strong in his own right.
But Lawson didn't care, he mobilized his magic power, and in his hand, the wolf knight's greatsword beeped.
Immediately after, flames erupted from the blade.
The already huge long sword in Lawson's hand turned into a giant sword made of flames at this time, and with Rosen's swing, even Langton, who was protected by the magic barrier, felt a dry and burning breath rushing towards his face like a tide.
The flaming greatsword swung and slashed, causing all the monsters in front of Lawson to immediately ignite red flames.
The flames spread rapidly, even igniting the verdant forest.
For a moment, Langton thought that he was in the abode of the demons described in the scriptures, and the wails of the beasts around him were heart-wrenching.
In the field of vision of the birds hovering above the forest, the entire forest was spreading from point to point, and the scorching flames mercilessly devoured the trees and the many monsters that lurked within.
Most of these monsters were burned along with the forest, and a few of the stronger ones tried to attack Lawson, but they were all killed in a single move.
Smoke billowed and the forest was set on fire by unprecedented heat, and in the blink of an eye, the trees that had grown for years were all charred.
The stench of the corpses being charred spread through the air and was disgusting, and Langton watched in amazement.
What Rosen did was completely beyond his expectations, and the strength he showed and the style of his actions were definitely far from those of the assassins.
Langton seemed to understand why Rosen had done that before.
"The forest is the most dangerous place?"
Lawson put away his broadsword and asked Langton with some amusement.
