11. Northern War

What is the key to victory in battle? I once consulted my master's old friend, Mr. Shuichi Minamino, who is known as the "First Military Division of the Demon Realm", and his answer was: "One-on-one battles are based on the strength of both sides, as well as the techniques used to use power, which of course also includes tactics; In a small-scale battle of the strong, the key lies in the strength comparison of the second strongest in the two teams, because the strongest one must be about the same, as for the minions, just ignore it; In large-scale dogfights, if there are super-strong players on both sides, the second mode can be applied, if not, then it depends on how the troops are arranged - so at this time, the most important thing is to have a sharp and calm commander, and disciplined and experienced fighters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo”

The battle situation I see now is the best proof of his words.

The awakened people in the north are actually the first phase of the big sword organized and cultivated more than a hundred years ago, because of their natural defects, except for a few unlucky ghosts who were unlucky enough to be besieged by demons and died, all the rest have become awakened people, with a total of nearly forty people. After Isli awakened, most of them chose to go north and join Isli - of course, this was also because the second phase of the Great Sword NO.1 Livro who later became the Western Abyss was too ruthless. That girl has been chasing and killing the awakened people in the first phase, and in just two years, she has almost killed all the awakened people outside the north, but it's a pity that when she captured the first phase of NO.3 Duff as a prisoner and was about to go to the north to crusade against Isli, she finally couldn't control the rapidly growing demon power and awakened, otherwise-

Who is stronger Isley or Liv Road? No one can answer this question. After awakening, they fought each other, but they only tasted it and did not really fight to the death, and the result of "no difference between victory and defeat" was obviously very watery. Isley is an old-timer, and Livle Road is not much younger than him; Livlu is an infinite demon who finally awakens because she grew too fast, and so does Isli; When facing enemies beyond the abyss, their record is instantaneous...... It's a pity that Denisha concealed the news that she had awakened to become the Fourth Abyss after defeating Rosemary, otherwise the organization would have been able to determine who was strong and who was weak by letting the organization send an Abyssal Crusade team led by her.

Some people think that Isli has gathered a large number of subordinates, and Livlu has a stupid Duff, which shows that each other's confidence in their own strength is different, and Livlu should be stronger; Some people also believe that the first phase of the warriors of that year have pledged their allegiance to Isli after awakening, which in itself proves his strength, and Livlu is not unmet with other awakened people, but people often would rather die than be her subordinates, which shows that she does not have the strength to convince the awakened people...... In short, the argument has always existed, after all, the two of them have not fought each other in real terms.

Of course, the above content is all from the introduction of the former anime otaku Galadya, as far as I am concerned, whether it is Liv Road or Isley, as long as I give me a little more time and experience, I will be defeated sooner or later!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Habitually cranky again......"

The big sword who took care of me was the NO.14 Cynthia, who was said to be very good at healing, and her treatment method was to use demonic energy to inject demonic power into the injured person, and then help the other party heal themselves. After Dinisha was almost cut in half, Galadia used this method to pull her back from the ghost gate, this girl's demonic power and Galadia of course can't be compared, but I was not as injured as Dinisha at the beginning, so after some treatment, the HP has bottomed out, and I have fallen into a weak state, and I have recovered to the point where I can watch the battle and evaluate at the same time.

Sadly, she didn't understand me.

But that's okay, I'm just going to talk to myself.

"Sure enough, the important thing in the melee is command and cooperation, the individual combat power of the awakened is obviously much stronger than the big sword, but so far, the three who have fallen - now four - are all awakened, but the big swords are still alive. It can be seen from this that what determines the outcome of the battle is indeed not individual force, but cooperation and command! ”

"You see, the one named Miria really has two brushes, she found that there were no particularly strong individuals among the awakened people who attacked this time, so she adjusted her tactics in time, and formed four four-person formations of 16 relatively weak fighters, and then strengthened their cooperation with each other, and then the stronger fighters were interspersed in the battle formation, which can not only improve the combat efficiency of the high-level fighters, but also replace the injured fighters in time, so that they have a gap between respite and healing."

"But the Awakened are very weak, obviously all of them are good, but they are chaotic and disorderly, not only do they not have decent cooperation with each other, but they often even hinder the attacks of their peers and even accidentally injure them. Depend on! Look at the one with six arms, and the thirty fingers in a volley at a time, it looks very powerful, yes, but he is surrounded by companions in front of him! Does he think he's the one who can control every attack? Sure enough, I hit my companion, didn't I? ”

"A rabble!"

People have a desire to behave, and it is said that in front of the opposite sex with excellent appearance, this kind of hope will be particularly strong, and I am no exception. Although she knew that Cynthia couldn't understand Chinese, she couldn't help but point fingers at the fierce battle situation ahead, and only spoke foaming, which was really addicted to being a commentator. Of course, the so-called never eaten pork has also seen pigs walking, in the last life I saw a lot of information about tactical coordination and the like, some time ago in the master also learned a lot of information in this area, now against the actual combat confirmation, many of the confused impressions at that time are like a mirror that brushes off the dust, suddenly enlightened. It's still a chaotic battle, but I've foreseen a victory for the greatswordsβ€”and a pretty obvious victory!

"There are three conditions that determine the outcome of a war: time, place, and people. The so-called time of day is the condition of the battle, the time that the two sides can use to prepare each other, and the reserve of materials...... In this regard, the Awakened have an advantage, they are very adaptable to the environment in the north, and they do not need additional preparation at all, relatively speaking, many of the Great Swords have come from a long journey, and Gunya and Jane, who arrived at the latest, have only rested for less than an hour; Geographical advantage refers to the surrounding environment, and in this regard, the temporary positions of the great swords play a great role, so that the awakened cannot rush in all directions, reducing the scale of the battle, and favoring their own side with poor individual strength; Of course, it is the quality of the soldiers, fighting spirit, training, etc., to talk about quality, the veteran awakened people who have lived for more than a hundred years do not seem to have the same intelligence as their age, not only are the knowledge of group combat extremely poor, but even their own martial arts are very poor - think about it carefully, it is not surprising that this situation occurred, they only needed to deal with demons back then, and demons and the like, even the weakest big sword can deal with it, and martial arts are naturally useless, let alone cooperative. After awakening, the enemy is either a fierce Lori who can't be defeated no matter how much you cooperate, or a civilian who can be pinched to death with one hand, maybe a few people have fought with the big sword, but it was just a simple siege. So they definitely won't have the experience to cooperate in combat, and they don't even have to do that. ”

"Isli may be a very charismatic leader, but he is definitely not far-sighted, obviously there are such a large number of outstanding soldiers on hand, but for more than a hundred years, he has not trained them in battle formations, what a gaffe!"

"Damn, you can't be verbose anymore, the battle situation over there seems to be a little tight, you can hurry up and help."

After all, the gap in individual combat power is too big, just when I was talking about it, several awakened people who may have a good relationship organized a wave of fierce offensive, Miria and Flora joined forces and failed to completely stop it, after all, they were still broken through the defense line by an awakened person wielding two crab-like claws, if it wasn't for the injured and retreating Divi arrived in time and barely stopped it, several people might have died by now.

The one named Divi really deserves to be called "immortal", the wound on her chest is so deep that she can vaguely see her heart through her ribs, and she can still PK with people alive! The half-demon physique is really enviable!

However, no matter how much you don't die, you will soon hang up if you fight with blood pouring like this......

So – hey! Why don't you help?

I remembered that this one named Cynthia didn't know Chinese.

Stupid girl, how can you not learn a foreign language? If you don't know Japanese, you can't speak English, you can't even speak Chinese, how can you run to be the heroine in a novel? Would the reader like a protagonist who neither speaks nor understands what others are saying?

I had no choice but to reluctantly lower my level and use sign language to communicate with her.

"Cynthia!" I yelled, gesturing my hand to Divi.

The little girl's comprehension was good, and she immediately understood what I meant, but she was obviously worried about my injury, and showed a hesitant look.

I patted my chest like Tarzan of the Apes to signal that I was okay, and then waved at Divi, "Go!" ”

So, she finally made up her mind, picked up the big sword and rushed over.

As a guy who is still above Divi, she stopped the awakened one as soon as she made a move. It didn't take long for the undead girl, who had basically recovered from her injuries, to join the battle again, so it was the turn of the awakened person, who was not very strong in the first place, to be unlucky......

"Oh-ha!" A loud roar drew my attention to the other side, only to see Lina, who had been specially introduced by Galadia, hug the waist of an awakened person from behind, and then hugged the big man who looked like a boar, and then a classic move that was enough to be written in a wrestling textbook, back throw.

There was a loud bang, and the boar man's head slammed into the ground.

The boar man's physical strength is still very positive, and he didn't have a brainstorm and died on the spot after such a fall, but before he could catch his breath, the three big swords had already slashed down quickly and ruthlessly.

Purple blood was splashed, and the big mountain boar, which might be very powerful, instantly turned into a pork chop.

Honestly, I like this style of play, although it seems a little depressed to look at the expressions of those big swordsmen.

A bunch of stupid girls who don't know how to appreciate the beauty of power!

Regaining some strength, I staggered to my feet, dragged the axe that had been tossed aside, and walked back to the suitcase, putting on my headphones.

"Galadia, how's your situation going over there?"

There was silence for a moment, and then there was a somewhat strange tone.

"Brother Chun, iron-blooded real man!" Galadia was clearly trying to hold back a laugh, "You're so powerful! I'm so overwhelmed by you! ”

"Please, don't always joke about your friends, okay......"

"This shows that we have a good relationship, and I don't bother to pay attention to him in ordinary people." The woman giggled for a while, and then said, "Would you like me to introduce you to some pretty blonde cuties?" I think if it were you, you might be able to provide genes that are stronger than demon flesh and blood. ”

"So what?"

"In that case, the second part of the great sword can be renamed the Uesugi clan demon subjugation ......"

"Uesugi ...... Clan?! ”

"That's right, as long as you try to trick all 47 big swords into your bed, in a few years, there will be a class of imps who will call you Dad, and in another ten years, the Uesugi clan can replace the Starf organization and take on the heavy responsibility of destroying demons."

47 ...... Spare me...... It's going to die!

"Looks like everything is fine on your side, and you're idle enough to tell jokes."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Actually, it can't be considered normal," Speaking of business, Galadia finally became serious again, "Although there is only one Isli on the top of the mountain, there are six powerful sources of demonic power approaching in the distance. ”

"What do you mean?"

"When I was in the organization, I was the 'eye' in charge of the secret service, and Denisha was the No.1 for ten years, so we had access to a lot of secret information. It is said that the strength of the first generation of high-ranking fighters is roughly distributed in this way: Isli is far ahead, Riccardo and Duff have their own strengths, and the difference between NO.4 and NO.10 is actually not large, and their rankings are based on age rather than strength. Because of this, 10 was later used as a division of high-ranking fighters. ”

"Do you want to tell me that the six Awakened Ones who are approaching are the remaining six of the top ten masters of the year?"

"That's right."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Let's retreat, we can't win! ”

"How is that possible? Riccardo has been killed by you, so it's okay to kill a few more......"

With a long sigh, I looked at the tall man who was moving his body and seemed to be planning to fight, and said, "The one from NO.9 seems to be preparing to make a move, you can take a peek at the situation here." ”

"Even if I look at the momentum, I know that he is not comparable to other awakened people at all!"

Before the words fell, the man who looked quite kind had turned into a huge white-haired orangutan, more than four meters tall, brown and black bristles covering his whole body, four big hands full of manes or barbs, and the huge head with a bloody mouth that was enough to swallow a child, and fangs that shone like jagged teeth.

He didn't seem to have the intention of fighting side by side with the other awakened people, so he said a few words casually, and the awakened ones who were originally attacking retreated, and then he walked up confidently alone, and there seemed to be no tension at all in the face of the long swords of the big sword beauties who were waiting for him.

Maybe it was the scene where I killed Riccardo just now, which caused many big swords to feel that "high-level awakened people are nothing more than that", and seeing him so big, those young girls actually showed angry expressions.

Feed! Please, before you get angry because you feel underestimated, compare each other's demonic spirits!

"No.9's Etti, it looks like he's very strong." Galadia's voice came from inside the headphones, "I can't imagine that he can usually suppress the demonic energy to this point, we seem to have miscalculated." ”

"You're just finding out now! If those 6 have his strength, then it is impossible for these big swords to win, even if I add one who is not in good shape! ”

"I didn't expect them to have such a strong ......"

"It's not too late to find out, which of these beauties do you fancy? Just pack it and take it away. We can't control the rest! ”

"Look! Two died as soon as they fought! ”

Galadia was silent.

"Hey! Speak! This can't go on like this! ”

"I'll be back now."

"Damn! Even if you kill this, there are still 6 others who are about the same as him! And there's an original abyss that could be even more powerful than them combined! Don't expect the smiling girl, and no matter if she can get out of the customs in time or not, even if she comes, no matter how powerful she is, she is only flesh and blood, not steel and iron bones! And because she was injured, her stamina was not good, and she was tired to death from dealing with so many enemies! ”

"Do your best, let it be fate......" After speaking, she hung up the phone.

This woman is crazy!

Not far away, the awakened one named Eti was showing his might, he danced his four arms like a windmill, although it looked a bit like the traditional martial art "Wang Baquan", but the power was definitely not comparable to Wang Baquan - as evidenced by the few big swords that were blown by the fist wind and fell out. The power of the fist is so strong, the fist is naturally even more terrifying, almost as long as it is rubbed by his fist a little, it is immediately a serious injury with broken tendons and bones, and an unlucky big sword is accidentally hit by him head-on, and it immediately becomes a puddle of blurred flesh and blood.

Miria has ordered all the low-ranking greatswords to retreat, and she leads the other three high-ranking greatswords against Eti, she uses her speed to the fullest, and every time Eti can only hit her phantom, but her sword can always hit Eti - but unfortunately he is always stopped in time, it seems that this "phantom sword" is not very effective for the strong.

Responsible for blocking the attack of Etis is NO.7 Aihua, stationed in the north for ten years, has honed her sword skills extremely solidly, although not as gorgeous as Miria, but deep in a "stable" word, she almost never moves long distances, in the face of Et's heavy blows, just use the demonic imbued sword to unload it, and one person took more than half of It's attacks. At this moment, she has no "lightning sword" demeanor, but she really shows the demeanor of a high-ranking warrior, and firmly blocks the pace of Eti's attack with her simple defense that has been tempered for thousands of years.

Flora stood a little further away from the battlefield, staring at the battlefield with a cold gaze. The big sword was inserted in the sheath, but it flashed a blurred phantom, and the rapid sword blow exploded the air, emitting a piercing sonic boom, which was the stunt "Wind Slashing Sword" that she relied on to become famous. Compared with the "high-speed sword" used by Gunya against Duff last time, the speed is indeed a little slower, but the accuracy is more than a grade higher, and the sword is almost without a miss. The most powerful thing is that this kind of swordsmanship seems to be completely demonic, so as long as Flora's figure leaves Eti's sight, the Wind Slashing Sword will attack from the corner where he can't see, and as a result, Eti can only devote a considerable part of his attention to tracking her position at any time, if not, I'm afraid that Aihua won't last so long.

However, it was Jane who posed the greatest threat to Eti.

She has awakened once, and in terms of demonic energy, she is close to the level of the awakened, although the demonic energy of female warriors cannot be compared with that of male warriors, and the accumulation of more than a hundred years of Etsu is not something she can surpass in just over ten years, but at least her demonic energy far exceeds that of her three companions. Her attack method is to twist her arm like a cowhide band, twist to the limit and then explode violently, powerful demonic energy with high-speed rotating sword, can send out amazing power in an instant, Eti once tried to resist her attack, but was suddenly hinged off half of his arm, if it weren't for his ability to be awakened and his recovery power was outstanding, this sword would be enough to decide the victory. After suffering that loss, Eti no longer dared to take her lightly, as long as her demonic aura increased, she immediately ignored the attacks of others, and stared at her right hand while defending with all her might.

is worthy of an old guy who has lived for more than a hundred years, and he can see the fatal flaw of the spiral sword at a glance - although this sword technique is very powerful, the attack trajectory is too monotonous, purely straightforward, as long as you see the direction of her attack, it is not difficult to avoid.

In general, the current battle situation is roughly equal between the two sides, and the big swords still have a slight advantage, but compared with Eti, they have a big hidden danger - the liberation of demon power.

The four great swords have all liberated their demonic power to the point of showing their faces, and the Ai Hua who is in charge of the frontal battle has even begun to deform their hands, and this state cannot last!

If this continues, they will either run out of stamina and cause the demonic qi to decline, or their energy exhaustion will cause the demonic qi to skyrocket, the former will result in defeat, and the latter will be even worse, and will awaken - they will lose anyway.

Perhaps, I should make a move?

In the battle with Riccardo, my physical exertion was very high, and my body was injured in many places, but for a cultivator of the Spiritual Light Wave Fist, none of this really mattered. Because there is still a lot of spiritual power left, as long as I forcibly explode the spiritual energy regardless of my physical state, I can still fight for a while in a state no less than just now. It's just that, if I do that, when my spiritual power is exhausted, I will faint on the spot like the time I fought against Faryagani, and at that time, I can only hope for the explosion of the protagonist of the story, Gunia, or the smiling girl Dinisha is really invincible in the world as Galadia said......

After waiting for a while, Aihua could no longer hold on, and even Flora had to give up the attack to help her strengthen her defenses; Miria, who frequently uses the Phantom Sword, is also gasping for air, and her crumbling body is obviously almost at its limit; Jane, who has cast the spiral sword again and again, has oozed blood from her right hand that drew the sword.

As for Iti, he seemed to be a little tired, but only "a little", and compared to the girls who were about to collapse, it was almost impossible to see that he was exhausted.

This kind of result is also a matter of course, when people crusaded against demons, these little girls' grandfathers had not yet been born, from the first issue to the current eighty-first issue, one hundred and sixty years, even a piece of scrap iron has been refined into steel, not to mention that Iter was originally the top master in the big sword!

No way-

I raised my left hand and aimed at Iter.

Self-guided pointing spirit pill, launch!

It's reaction was quick, and the moment I gathered the aura, he noticed this side, and then his body turned slightly away, dodging the spirit pill that was not very fast.

However, in the next moment, the spirit pill that could turn had already turned to his left rib and slammed into it!

Reimaru is not something that can only shoot directly!

The power of this spirit pill is not great, at best, it is only the level of two or three wind slashing swords, but I hit the relatively weak position of his body - how can there be no pervert in the world who cultivates under the ribs to be invulnerable, that will affect the flexibility of the arm, so this blow achieved an unexpected effect, not only broke his left arm, but even pierced his chest, I clearly heard the sound of bones breaking, and the purple blood spurting out of his mouth also proved that the injury was not light.

In less than half a second, the balance of victory and defeat was reversed.

Although Eti's self-healing ability is very amazing, but the girls who have been exhausted and have no way out will not give him this chance, Aihua roared, and almost hit it with her entire body, so that Eti, who was already a little unstable on her feet because of the injury to her heart, staggered, and then Miria didn't bother to launch the Phantom Sword, and even rushed directly in front of him with a sword, slashing his right leg with a sword, and then the Wind Slashing Sword erupted one after another on his head, if it weren't for Zhen's blood-dripping right hand, there was really no way to swing the sword, A combination of four people might be able to kill him directly.

Eti is worthy of being an old man, and when he sees that the situation is wrong, he will run away immediately, although his right leg is injured, but compared to the girls who are not even very stable in walking, the state is much better, not to mention that others are tall and big, and one step is worth two steps with a big sword, so-

He didn't make a single move.

At some point, the little Lori named Lena had already appeared next to Eti, holding his uninjured left leg with her left hand, clenching her right hand into a fist and slamming her knee from behind - oh, she seemed to have been hit by Eti's fist just now, hit the wall twice, and then bounced pathetically near the battlefield - so she had been pretending to be unconscious? Watching the enemy running around and motionless, this psychological quality is indeed excellent!

Eti didn't think so, he took the punch, and immediately couldn't stand anymore, his left leg fell to his knees, and then Lena crawled behind him like a koala and strangled him by the neck. Listening only to the rattling, Etzi, who looked like a gorilla, was knocked to the ground by the petite Lena.

It was still Miria who was at the forefront, and of course she would not let go of such a good opportunity, and the big sword was raised and slashed down.

The massive head of the beast fell to the ground along with the half of the arm that strangled its neck.

I even cut it with my companions! What an amazing decisiveness!

Holding Lena with one hand and picking up her right arm with the other, Miria's eyes widened as she was about to say something to the Awoken who seemed a little scared.

The demonic aura of Liudao and Etis appeared at the foot of the mountain not far away.

The remaining six of the first generation of high-ranking fighters finally arrived.

The girls who have been insisting on fighting have shown a bitter smile of despair.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Poor Lena has been abused by ET for so long, it's nothing to get a little revenge, right?

At least that's what I think......
