Chapter 39: The Battle in the Depths of the Ruins
"All of you are the pillars of the country, as long as you return to your posts, you swear in the name of Alicia von Orsay**, Queen of the Kingdom of Libel, and will not be held accountable afterwards!" Her Majesty, with her gray hair, stood in front of the army with only two retinues. Although it is not as beautiful as when he was young, his temperament and majesty have become more and more shocking with the accumulation of time, and this style is far from being comparable to the untrained Coloss.
Arios stood beside the queen without saying a word, and his heart could not be calm for a long time, and he finally understood the crux of Crossbell's inability to rise. Whether it's Dita or McDowell, they are all excellent, but as a leader, they are far inferior to the one in front of them. Since becoming a guerrilla, he has traveled to many countries, and he has a close relationship with the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Remephilia, even if he is not far from Alicia.
Yulia on the other side was full of energy, this is Her Majesty the Queen who is guarded to the death by our personal guards. Even if it has gradually faded out of the public eye in recent years, it is still an insurmountable monument to that station.
"Attention of the whole army, attention of the whole army, the order of General Morgan, the rear team becomes the front team, and returns to the garrison in turn." An airship came from a distance, "repeat"
At the same time, the commanders of the grassroots units also received orders from the military return line one after another, and the soldiers who did not want to start a rebellion retreated three points faster than when they came.
"Oops." A figure jumped down from the low-flying airship, accompanied by a voice familiar to everyone present, "It's all acquaintances, I haven't seen you for a few days." β
"Mr. Cassius!" Naturally, the man is the hero of the kingdom, and his influence is only under the queen's Cassius Bright. After solving the problems of the Erebonian Empire, he finally rushed back in time, liberated all the families of the military dignitaries who had been taken hostage by the Ministry of Intelligence, and united with General Morgan and Major Sid and other military dignitaries to put things in order and completely crush the plot of Richard's coup.
"Hahaha, what I've been planning for years is finally coming to fruition." In an inconspicuous house in the royal capital of Grantel, a middle-aged man wearing a pair of scholar's glasses laughed wildly, like a madman.
"Maniac." The silver-haired young man on the side pouted his lips with disdain, he really didn't like the style of the people around him. There was also a family of three in the room behind the two, their eyes were blank and stupid, which was the proud means of middle-aged people.
"Although there were many twists and turns in the process of achieving the plan, the first step was successfully completed." The middle-aged man pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a pair of snake eyes made people shudder. He is Professor Yavaru, who has had several previous relationships with Estiel and others, and is also the third pillar of Wiseman, the apostle of the Snake of Eater.
"The next step is to call the executors to prepare the second phase of the plan?" Reinhardt, nicknamed Levi, who had only fought Arrios a few hours earlier, said, "Honestly, I don't think there are a few executors who will respond to your call. β
"It doesn't matter, I already have a plan, and Liber has exactly what attracts them." Wiseman licked his somewhat dry lips with his tongue, like a viper spitting out letters.
Levi didn't say much, just glanced coldly at Wiseman, pushed the door and left. He wasn't a fool, he could guess a thing or two about the serpent's intentions, and he felt that he couldn't help but cut people if he stayed there any longer. Ling, don't come. (Although the author will never agree, neither will the reader, nor will Yaniras.) οΌ
In the deepest part of the underground ruins, the battle between the protagonist group and Richard is in full swing. In the face of the absolute disadvantage in numbers, Richard did not panic, the gospel was in hand, and the ancient machinery wandering in the ruins was his helper. Don't underestimate these little bosses, the glory of ancient civilizations has not been explained until now, let alone reappeared. (Except for the Association Gang**)
"Wind Whip/Rapid Sniper." Sherazadeh and Olivier work together tacitly, and the long whip is elusive, and the bullet is specialized in the joints. Although the large machinery has rough skin and thick flesh, and the protection of the joints is still in place, it is only a matter of time before the two of them are pressed step by step, and it is only a matter of time before they lose their combat effectiveness.
"Thunderbolt/Artillery Blast." Tita stood in front of her grandfather, and the guide cannon was firing wildly in bursting mode. Lixia seized the opportunity to create a lightning talisman that exploded with electric light, causing great damage to metalwork. The two joined forces, and after a while, the defense machine was scarred and crumbling. That's right, just like in the game, the fugitive group still came to the royal capital to join the final battle.
"Flame Crush/Moonlight Palm." AgatΓ© and Kim burst into the dense mass of small machines. The flames were unleashed, and the heavy sword was everywhere, and it was a mess. And Jin's fighting style is more effective, after the first palm temptation, the original fierce moves suddenly changed, flexible and changeable, and the fists and fingers grasped at will. The technique contains dense internal strength, and the ancient machinery is indeed reinforced with iron bones, but the golden fingers are over the place, cramps and bones.
In the clash of Cassius's children, other teammates will not interfere. There are only three people who really face Colonel Richard, Estelle, Joshua, and Yanirath, all of whom have a deep relationship with Yaba.
If Estelle inherited Cassius's stick skills and guerrilla heritage, Richard inherited the sword path of Lao Ka and the mantle of a soldier. The stick means protection, which is consistent with the concept of the Guerrilla Association, which is marked by the support of hand armor. The knife master kills, and the soldier is a profession born for the battlefield.
Richard's knife is somewhat similar to Yanirath, fast, almost impossible to catch, and the speed alone is not inferior to that of the sword of the wind, Saint Arios. The world's martial arts are invincible, only fast and unbreakable. The sheer speed instantly suppressed the three of them. In fact, he didn't learn all the eight leaves and eight types, but just fused his own understanding according to the scales and half-claws pointed out by Lao Ka to form his unique sword technique.
Estelle is not a person who is good at speed, but there is no shortage of speed masters around him. She was used to Joshua's high-speed combos, and she consulted Arios for his quick knives. Although he was suppressed very badly, Estelle was still able to hold on, and occasionally counterattacking could also disrupt Richard's pace.
"Light Breaker!" The first one to break out was Yaniras, who were also high-speed knives, and they all had light in the same attributes, how could she be willing to be suppressed! The blade of the knife is more sharp, the light is broken, and the light of the knife cuts through everything, so as to live up to this name.
"Dark Fang!" Joshua was also unambiguous, taking advantage of Richard's sudden increase in knife speed by Yanirath, his body shook and disappeared into the darkness, ready to hunt at any time.
"Sakura no double tap!" Not to be outdone, Estelle took advantage of the pressure to make a special move. A cherry tree blooms one after another, and for a while, the shadow of the stick splits the head and covers the face, and it is difficult to distinguish between the virtual and the real.
"Cherry blossom waning moon!" The west gathers sorrowful clouds and travels again, full of cherry blossoms. The strong man dies first, and I sacrifice my soul with my heart! Richard is dedicated to the country, based on the five-type waning moon, and the will to protect the country as the soul, which is integrated into a mystery. Since you emphasize the power of faith, can your faith overcome my will?
The cherry blossoms are scattered, the falling cherry blossoms are colorful, and the knife is like a dream. A flash of the knife scattered, and the knife continued to slash at the fangs that emerged from the darkness, and the three swords were staggered, and Joshua flew upside down, his hands hanging limply. With a bang, Richard swung his knife and slashed at the last target.
At this moment, Estelle had already gathered momentum to the peak, and the scattered sticks merged into one, and one stick hit Richard. The sword and stick are fighting, the two sides do not give in to each other, and they are bound to make a meritorious service, which is not only a contest of strength, but also a contest of faith and will!
"Drink, ah, ah!" The two of them exerted force at the same time, and Estelle was shocked and hit the ground backwards, coughing incessantly. Richard, slightly better, unsteady and took a few steps back. If it's just a contest between the two, there is no suspense about the outcome of the game, but it's a pity that Estelle has teammates. As I said before, it is because we support each other and trust each other that we have achieved the ultimate victory.
"Fallen leaves." Yaniras gathered her remaining strength and delivered the final blow. The fallen leaves dance with the wind, the body moves with your heart, the knife falls, and the victory and defeat are clear!
"It's a ...... Colonel Cassius's child...... The descendants of the eight leaves are too.γ Richard gasped and barely stood with the support of his knife, his face not regretting defeat, but a little regret, "But...... You're still a step too late. β
Just like what happened in Chase, a large area of black pulses spread wildly!
