Chapter 165: Archie's Death
It wasn't until all the knights had shut their mouths that the deafening wolf howls of the Heavenly Punishment Mercenary Regiment fell silent. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Everyone in the VIP seat plucked their ears one after another, and they also made another decision in their hearts, that is, when they wanted to order these people to sing in the future, they were absolutely not allowed to use their fighting spirit, and they were about to turn into sonic attacks.
The next thing was to congratulate one person after another with status on the stage, and this one after another lasted for an hour and a half. An extremely slight snoring sounded in the ears of the members of the first few rows of the Heavenly Punishment Mercenary Regiment and the Swift Knights.
So the original congratulatory message became: "Respectful ......"
"Snoring~"
āā¦ā¦ Bin and dear ......"
"Snoring~"
āā¦ā¦ The people ......"
A paragraph is simply divided into n paragraphs.
"Next, it's the ranking tournament that everyone is looking forward to, this competition is friendly, everyone clicks until now!"
In the midst of the noise of the city's citizens, Ji Ran finally woke up standing up.
She yawned slowly and looked at Yeyi: "Still want to play?" ā
I don't know why, she always felt very uneasy after hearing about the game arrangement.
Yeyi nodded: "Well, I heard that it was specially arranged to liven up the atmosphere." Don't worry, I've already explained, we don't fight for this name, and it's okay to lose the first game. ā
Ji Ran was a little relieved, the current Heavenly Punishment really didn't need to fight for any reputation in Regoz, anyway, they were about to go to Guna Town in the Spider Web Desert, and the business on Regoz's side would also be put down, and it would be the same whether they had a reputation or not. Thinking about it this way, Ji Ran also found a good position to prepare to watch the competition, and he had the right to watch the drill.
In the central garden of the royal city, there are wide squares on all sides, and the first round of the Heavenly Punishment Mercenary Regiment is lined up, and the battle place is the square north of the central garden.
When Yeyi and Ji Ran led everyone over, some newcomers complained that they had walked around Regoz and stood for more than an hour, without drinking a sip of water, and now they have to compete with others, which is too hard.
Ji Ran felt even more uneasy when he heard this, and secretly glanced at Yeyi, only to see that his eyes were staring at the Swift Knights who were fighting against them this time.
Ji Ran couldn't, so he had to suppress this uneasiness, his heart might be that someone wanted to see them make a fool of themselves, it didn't matter, anyway, they didn't think about fighting for this face.
Since it is a friendly match, there is a limit to the number of players on both sides, and the maximum number of players cannot exceed 30. Yeyi chose fifteen newcomers and elders, and then muttered for a moment, replaced the next newcomer, and sent Archie into the game.
Seeing Archie standing in the queue, Yeyi was talking to Xavier, Brankin, and Ji Ran again. One and a half of the newcomers walked out and whispered a few words in the ear of a newcomer who was about to play. The man shook his head at first, and then saw the half-grown child take out a bag of things from his arms and hand it over, the man looked at Yeyi's side, and saw that several principals were not here, so he quickly took the things and gave up his place to the child, while he himself quietly hid in the back row of the queue.
More than ten minutes later, the spectators stood in position, the two sides on the field also set up arrays, and the Swift Knights began to charge for a short time.
Ye Yi and Ji Ran were really not worried at first, the people who had been trained under their hands knew in their own hearts, and the physical strength of the mercenaries was something that these ordinary knights could not do.
But the result was greatly unexpected by the two of them, and after the sound of weapons passed, the weapons of the members of the Heavenly Punishment Regiment were all broken, and several people were not in a hurry to recruit, and were slashed by the Swift Knights.
Ji Ran's eyes widened suddenly, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
However, Yeyi reacted immediately, took a long step, rushed into the competition field, and picked the leader of the swift off the horse with one shot, and the two sides stopped.
The head of the swift didn't pay attention to being overturned and dismounted by Yeyi, and he lost face in front of his subordinates and VIPs, and he also thought that the reason why he was picked off the horse by Yeyi this time was because Yeyi appeared too suddenly, not because his skills were inferior.
So after the regiment commander turned over and stood up, he ran to Yeyi angrily and shouted: "If you want to fight, you should participate in the competition openly, what kind of hero is a sneak attack from behind?!" ā
Yeyi ignored him, and just glanced back at Ji Ran.
Only then did Ji Ran come back to his senses, ran into the arena quickly, and after casually taking the weapon of a member of the team to test, he said affirmatively: "This is not a sword made by me, our weapon has been dropped!" ā
Yeyi's face darkened, and he turned to Xavier and asked, "What's the matter?" ā
The internal affairs of the Heavenly Punishment Mercenary Regiment are all managed by Xavier.
Xavier thought about it, their weapons were usually stored in the armory of the Royal Capital Academy, could it be that the bag was dropped there?
"Things are usually placed in the Royal Capital Academy."
The head of the swift was furious when he heard this: "Don't make excuses as soon as you lose, you people have seen a lot." If you want to blame the bag drop, you can only blame the poor quality of your weapons! ā
Hearing these people slander the weapons made by Ji Ran for being bad, others said that Archie was the first to stand it, and in his eyes, everything his young lady did was good.
I saw Archie stomp his foot fiercely, and the ground shook, "Put your mother's fart, how can it be bad for my young lady to make something?!" ā
Captain Swift laughed when he heard Archie's argument, and stared at Ji Ran with strange eyebrows: "It turned out to be just the work of a junior enchanter, no wonder!" No wonder! Big man, do you know that our weapons are specially made by Lord Belinda, and even the hilts of our swords are made of fine iron. So chopping on your weapons is like chopping turnips, haha......"
Many of the Swift Knights laughed as well.
Ji Ran's eyebrows twitched invisibly when she heard this, why is it that woman again, she is already leaving, but she is still entangled, is it interesting?
"Nonsense!" Archie stamped his feet, "What my young lady makes is the best!" ā
If it was before, seeing Archie looking like a child, Ji Ran would definitely smile, but today, there was an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.
"Well, let's play with weapons alone."
"Okay." Faced with the Swift Leader's proposal, Archie immediately responded without waiting for others to speak.
Ji Ran's uneasiness still existed, but looking at the sturdy and honest Archie, he didn't stop it. Archie is different from other mercenaries in that he is not a student, but an attendant, so the weapon was not handed over to the academy's weapons inventory, and he has always worn it, presumably never replaced.
Sure enough, the Swift Knight Leader swung several times, but was simply stopped by Archie. Archie is not smart, he can't learn slightly more complicated moves, but he has great strength, even Ji Ran, who has been specially trained, is slightly inferior in front of him, that is, Yeyi can withstand it.
Archie took advantage of the opponent's momentum to launch a surprise attack, and a fierce slash slashed the Swift leader back several steps.
Archie is often fed with the mercenaries of Heavenly Punishment, so everyone knows his power. Just when everyone was smiling at the corners of their mouths and waiting to see the lively Swift Leader, a mutation protruded, and a young man standing behind Archie suddenly stabbed into Archie's body with a sword.
Ji Ran discovered for the first time in his life...... It turns out that human blood can be so dazzling.
The teenagers of Heavenly Punishment were silent, but soon this silence was burned by a burst of monstrous anger, and the young man who stabbed Archie with the sword was quickly subdued by the other members of the Heavenly Punishment, and to everyone's surprise, Archie, who was seriously injured, weakened his knees and knelt down to Ji Ran.
"Little, Miss, please, let go, let go......" Ji Ran reflexively walked towards Archie, wanting to hold him, but after hearing these words, he lowered his eyes slightly, burying all his surprise and anger in his eyes.
She gave Archie a fixed look and nodded, "Okay." ā
Hearing Ji Ran's "good" word, Archie fell to the ground with a bang.
At this time, the screams around the square rang out one after another, only to blame that everything happened too quickly and unexpectedly, so everyone reacted after a while.
It is an extremely unlucky thing to wake up and stain blood during the Spring Festival, so everyone present looked at heaven with reproachful eyes, after all, although the person who died was punished by heaven, the one who killed was also punished by heaven. Therefore, their reproachful gaze is naturally staring at heavenly punishment.
After Ji Ran took a few breaths, he finally settled down, but the astringency in his eyes couldn't be removed.
This is the first time she has lost the familiar people around her since she came to this world, and it is different from the arbitrariness when she usually takes people's lives, and now she understands for the first time what heartache is.
She has only lived in the mountains with two grandmaster-level characters since she was a child, and apart from those two teachers, the only one she is familiar with is her childhood playmate Habu. Archie, on the other hand, is the fourth person she has a true relationship with, and she likes Archie's stupid kindness.
Maybe the darker a person is, the more he tends to be light.
Under the surprise and reproach of the audience, the teenagers who were punished by heaven were all red-eyed. Archie has been with them for more than a year, and almost all of them like this big man who seems to be rude, but is actually honest.
But what everyone didn't expect was that he would die here.
Ji Ran slowly walked up to the murderous young man, and choked up with resentment and hatred: "Why? He was so good to you, why would you kill him? ā
Yes, that's good.
This young man is the child of Archie's ex-wife, even if Ji Ran is unwilling, Archie never left this ex-wife, took care of her until she died, and then took over her son. Archie taught the boy everything he had learned in the ring, but in the end, he got a stab in the back.
Ji Ran looked straight at the young man named Erza, and let go of his hands a few times, but finally let go.
She never promises anything, but once she says it, she does it. After agreeing to Archie to release Elza, he had to let it go.
Even though this decision hurts her!
"Say! Why the hell did you kill him? ā
Erza's hands were twisted behind him by the members of the Heavenly Punishment Corps, and under Ji Ran's questioning, he suddenly raised his head, his face full of hatred, "Those who kill will always kill them." ā
