The whole earth seemed to tremble slightly in the roar of the violent explosion. All other sounds in heaven and earth seemed to have vanished, leaving only the monotonous, deafening sound of explosions.

In order to achieve maximum lethality and not give Anthony any chance to escape, the magicians of Taranto attacked at the same time under unified command. The wave of magic was fierce and intense, but it didn't last long. But in the feeling of the onlookers, this wave of terrifying attacks that made heaven and earth change color seemed to have gone through a century as long.

The explosions in the air slowly subsided, and the shaking earth returned to calm. The stagnant air flowed again, and a soft, warm breeze gently blew away the smoke.

What is presented in front of people's eyes is a big deep pit. It's like a giant accidentally fell and crushed the solid ground.

Anthony lay on his back at the bottom of the pit, looking extremely miserable.

The helmet on his head was gone, and it was unknown if it was blown to pieces or blown into a corner. His youthful face was revealed.

The shield, as thick as the door panel, was still held in Anthony's hand, but had been reduced to half the size. The rest shattered into several pieces and scattered not far from him.

Without the protection of his shield, the armor on his body could only directly face numerous magical attacks. This set of armor, which Anthony had personally refined for this battle, had now become tattered, and it was almost impossible to find an inch of good condition. There is no piece of armor to cover the hands and feet, and the flesh and skin that flows blood are directly exposed.

Anthony took a hard breath, only to feel that the whole person was tired and wanted to die, and the pain in his whole body was pressed underneath.

Suddenly, a figure jumped down from above with a "whew".

The man walked up to Anthony and looked at him condescendingly.

"What boy, you're not dead yet, are you? It's okay for you to be reckless, isn't it? ”

Although he said sarcastic words, what was revealed in his tone was a real concern, which was the "Azure Sword Saint" Caton.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to lie on the ** for a few days, it's nothing. It's just ......" Anthony's lips tugged, as if he wanted to make a wry smile, but unfortunately failed.

"It's just too tired!"

Anthony is indeed tired, physically tired, and mentally even more tired.

Caton couldn't figure out what he was talking about, and he didn't intend to ask.

This kid has a lot of ideas, and there are not a few things he usually says that he doesn't understand, and he doesn't have the heart to think about it at the moment. Look at this kid's hands and feet, there are no missing parts, and there are not a few big holes in his body. Thinking that the injury was indeed not too serious, I couldn't help but rejoice and admire it in my heart.

Hundreds of magicians are attacking with fire! Just thinking about it is enough to make your scalp tingle. The Sword Saint couldn't help but shudder as he thought back to the tremendous momentum of the magic frenzy just now.

If you change it, you are in Anthony's position......

The Sword Master shook his head, no longer thinking about this boring assumption.

Suddenly, he tilted his head slightly, his expression solemn, as if he was listening to something.

After a few moments, he relaxed and said to Anthony, "It's our mage troops, they're fighting back." That's what you told you about, right? General John was finally obedient this time. ”

Anthony lay on his back on the ground, staring blankly at the sky, and he couldn't see the slightest joy.

Is General John obedient?

Perhaps.

He silently sensed the waves of magic coming from the air. Both in scale and intensity, it was a step worse than the movement caused by the Taranto magicians just now.

…… If you can start it a little earlier and with a little more force......

Anthony silently added in his heart.

The Juggernaut crouched down and reached out to help Anthony up.

"Alright, there's nothing to do with us here, let's go back quickly! Her Royal Highness doesn't know what the rush is like. ”

His left hand had just touched Anthony's shoulder, but the whole movement suddenly stopped.

Master Sword Master withdrew his hands, slowly and slowly stood up, and looked up.

A middle-aged man dressed in black, standing on the edge of the pit at some point, was quietly looking over here.

This is the center of the collective bombardment of hundreds of magic, and a martial arts powerhouse of the fourth realm like Lord Sword Saint is still wary, and ordinary soldiers only hate that their parents have a few legs, and it is too late to run away, so how dare they make up on this side.

Of course, the people who appeared in this place at this time would not be ordinary people.

The Azure Sword Master straightened up, his right hand already gripping the hilt of the long sword hanging from his waist.

There is no need for a set of simple or complex calculations, as a top master, it is enough to judge the strength of the opponent just by relying on the qi machine.

The middle-aged man in black in front of him was a master, and he was a master at the same level as the Caton Sword Master.

The Azure Sword Master held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, reached behind him with his left hand, and beckoned back slightly.

The two silver fighters who came with Caton jumped down the pit, picked up Anthony on the ground one left and one right, and slowly retreated.

The hand holding the hilt of the sword suddenly tightened, and the murderous aura condensed like substance on his body soared into the sky, and it had firmly locked the qi of the black-clothed middle-aged man. As long as the opponent makes the slightest move, it will inevitably attract the furious attack of the Caton Sword Master.

A shocking battle between top martial arts masters is about to break out.

The middle-aged man in black looked at the two silver fighters who slowly retreated, and Anthony who was protected by them in the middle. Looking at the "Azure Sword Saint" who was high-spirited and ready to attack, he suddenly took two steps back and turned around and left without saying a word.

As long as Caton was here, there was no way he could kill the boy who looked dying. Since it was no longer possible to complete the task assigned by the Duke, of course, there was no need for him to have a meaningless battle with Caton.

Caton was stunned, he didn't expect the other party to retreat so neatly.

But he didn't let his guard down, but followed behind the two silver fighters, slowly retreating, and the hand holding the hilt of the long sword never let go.

As the group of four was about to reach the edge of the pit, the whistling of magic and the roaring explosion were heard outside.

However, it doesn't have much to do with them anymore.

……

General John, dressed in military uniform, lifted the curtain and walked in.

Judging from the time, he should have just settled down and arranged the affairs of the army, and then hurried over.

"Mr. Anthony, how are your injuries? Is it serious? ”

Judging by his expression and tone, his concern and worry do not seem to be fake.

Anthony was lying flat on ** with a soft quilt on his body. His exposed arms were bandaged, and his head and face were cleaned, but he could still see multiple scars, which made him look embarrassed.

"General Lao is worried, and finally the skin is thick and thick, and it is quite durable. After a while, it should be fine. ”

General John took two steps forward and said, "Have you shown the doctor who accompanied the army, and what did the doctor say?" Hey, where is the doctor, why is there no doctor? ”

"No need to call, there is no doctor here. Anthony can heal the spells himself, and we all have good medicine for injuries, so we don't need to bother others. ”

Princess Arlina, who was sitting on the edge of the **, interjected lightly.

General John couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Ever since he came in, Her Royal Highness has been a little unreasonable with him. took the initiative to say hello to her, and the response was cold and indifferent, without enthusiasm. Now that she is concerned about Anthony's cold and warmth, she interjects and does not say anything, and there is quite a taste of dissatisfaction and complaint in her words.

I have long heard that Her Royal Highness the princess has a good relationship with this genius boy, but now it seems that the rumors are true.

General John's thoughts turned, and he had put aside the little embarrassment.

"It was thanks to Mr. Anthony's counsel and his own danger that our army was able to achieve such a brilliant victory. Ben will come to share the good news with Mr. Anthony: it is speculated that the rebel magician troops have lost at least sixty percent of the battle. Mr. Anthony deserves the first credit for this great achievement. ”

Among the armies, the mage unit is an extremely transcendent and terrifying existence. Being able to annihilate more than half of the Taranto magicians in one fell swoop, this military feat can indeed be called brilliant.

Anthony replied indifferently: "The general is too polite, he just did his duty." ”

General John was about to speak, but was preempted by Her Royal Highness the Princess's quiet tone.

"Anthony has just returned from picking up a life before the ghost gate closes, and he still needs to rest and rest. Does General John find another time to talk about military affairs? ”

General John was stunned for a moment, and the look of embarrassment on his face became even stronger.

As you can see, he didn't come here this time to discuss any military affairs with Anthony.

Let's not say that the war is over, the Aberdeen army is cleaning up the battlefield, and there will be no urgent tasks in the short term. Even if there were, there was no need to bother Anthony at this moment.

Anthony used his role as bait and risked his life alone to plot for the military to deal with Aberdeen's wizard troops, and finally returned wounded. It stands to reason that General John, as the commander of the army, should come over to express his gratitude.

But Her Royal Highness the princess doesn't like him, what can he say?

Ever since the Aberdeen army decided to withdraw, Her Royal Highness Princess Arlina has been much colder towards him. And after getting along for a short time today, Her Royal Highness the princess's attitude not only became more and more cold, but also ridiculed and ridiculed in her words.

He rushed over with enthusiasm, but it turned out that his hot face was attached to his cold ass, and General John felt very bored.

Even Anthony, who has always been gentle and polite, doesn't know if he is physically tired and mentally sleepy after being injured, but he is quite perfunctory, and there is a taste of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

General John hit a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and he was not willing to stay any longer. After telling Anthony to rest well and recuperate from his injuries, he left in a hurry on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs.

"Humph! will pretend to be a good person. ”

Arina looked in the direction of the doorway, indignant.

Then he turned to Anthony again.

"You say, what are you working so hard for? They sent troops to quell the rebellion, only to turn around and leave halfway through. In this case, it is up to them to fight back slowly, why do you have to be strong and take such a big risk for them. Is it worth it? ”

The invasion of the Riga Empire and the rebellion of the province of Taranto had already worried Princess Arina. As a result, General John, who belonged to his side, gave up halfway at this critical moment, saying that if he didn't play, he wouldn't play, and it was strange that Her Royal Highness the princess could have a good face for him. If Anthony hadn't tried to dissuade her, she would have led someone to leave on her own, so as not to get angry when she saw the other party's face.

Anthony was lying on the **, looking at the top of the big **, but his eyes were completely unfocused, and he muttered Yalina's words.

"yes, for what? Is it worth it? ”
