Chapter 17: Another Fierce Battle
The original battlefield.
The rested trio stood up, ready to reinforce Mr. Ran Jean.
"But before we do that, let's take it back first." Gavi said.
The other two nodded in agreement.
As a courtier second only to the emperor in terms of preciousness, it is indeed collectible.
"Fried's [deceiver]." Peng Ze picked up the sword-shaped tools scattered on the ground.
"The man's envoy just now should be this layer of clothing." Prosio's words ripped off Guy's clothes from his corpse.
"As for the woman, it should be the gloves." Proscio added.
"Judging from the information, these two courtiers should be [Smash King] and [Mille-Feuille]." Gavi said, picking up Gozzi's [Village Rain].
"[Village Rain], Emperor level, this time the harvest is quite rich."
With a satisfied smile, the corners of Gavey's mouth curled into a nice arc.
"Emperor?" Peng Ze couldn't help but sigh, "I'm really lucky." ”
"Then who will use this imperial tool?" Proxiu still pays more attention to actual combat.
"Be patient, this is the Emperor's tool." Gavi waved his hand to calm the impetuous hearts of the two, "There are only 48 in the whole empire, no, most of the treasures have been lost now, how can they be used so easily?" ”
"Are there any restrictions?" Peng Ze asked, seeing such a good thing in front of him but not being able to use it is the most annoying thing.
"The First Emperor, who built the empire a thousand years ago, created 48 weapons called "Imperial Tools" to protect the country, each of which was made by the country's top craftsmen at the time, using the now-lost secret arts and legendary super dangerous species as materials, plus rare metals such as Orehagang, each of which is a super weapon that cannot be replicated today. Each of the Imperial Instruments has obtained an incredible almost magical effect as a result, but at the same time, the conditions for becoming an Imperial Tool are also very demanding. It can be called one in a thousand, or even one in a thousand. What's more, there is not necessarily one eligible person for every 100,000 people. Gavey explained slowly.
"Of course I know the history of the Imperial Tool, and I want to know how to use it." Proxiu got impatient and simply roared.
"Of course, the following conditions are required to become an imperial envoy." Gavie paused, glancing at Proshoe's big bald head.
Both Pengze and Proxiu were focused.
"It must be a person who conforms to the wavelength to use the Imperial Tool, otherwise if it is forcibly used, either the Emperor's ability will not be able to be exerted, or it will harm the host itself, and the user's first impression of the Imperial Tool is extremely important, which greatly limits the number of users of the Imperial Tool."
"In other words, as long as it is recognized by the emperor." Proxiu laughed smugly, "How can this kind of thing not surrender to the feet of my Lord Proxiu?" ”
……
For a long time, there was no response.
The three of them frowned, looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"It's a harsh condition." Gavi tried to defuse the embarrassment, "The three of us who are so talented are not recognized by it. ”
"Alas......" Peng Ze sighed helplessly, although the thing is good, it can't be used.
Proxiu can't wait to grab the ground with his head, this emperor is too faceless.
If it weren't for the fact that it was an emperor's tool, I, Uncle Proxiu, would have smashed it.
"The matter of this imperial tool is very important, I will transport it back to the headquarters first." Gavi thought for a moment and proposed, "You guys go to Mr. Ranrang's aid. ”
"Okay." Peng Ze and Proxiu are not unreasonable people, and they figured it out immediately.
Everything has a priority, and it is generally necessary to do more important things first, such as supporting Mr. Ran Rang and transporting back the emperor, Gavi chose to return immediately.
On the other battlefield, Mr. Ran Rang was forced out of shape by Luoya.
Nahaxiu raised his sword and activated the [Sword of the Water Dragon], and his physical ability increased significantly, causing Mr. Ran Rang to fall into trouble every time.
Green was watching over the red pupils below, guarding against another sneak attack by Mr. Ranrang.
If Red Hitomi was hurt again, Green himself couldn't forgive himself.
"This guy, the power of the attack has increased again." Mr. Ran Rang looked at the big tree that had been split in half in the place where he had just dodged sideways, and a cold sweat broke out, "However, as a vassal tool, such an ability must have a time limit. ”
"Don't go toe-to-toe with them just yet." Paying attention, Mr. Ran kept dodging left and right, narrowly avoiding various attacks.
It was almost three minutes since Nahaxiu activated the [Water Dragon Sword] in the blink of an eye, and if it continued like this, the situation would not be good, Nahaxiu immediately stopped activating the ability, and was still in a stalemate with Mr. Ran Rang.
"This guy, the destructive power has been significantly reduced." There was no joy or anger on Mr. Ran Rang's face, and he thought to himself, "Now is a good time to retreat!" ”
Immediately made a decision and broke through in the direction of Green.
"Stop!" Luo Ya held back his breath, his eyes were already red, and the spreading murderous aura almost condensed into substance, like a battle-hardened Shura who came out of hell.
Cold, ruthless, powerful!
This guy is going to die!
Nahasiu couldn't suppress his anger either, his face began to redden, and his composure was almost worn out by extreme resentment.
The two chased after each other.
"Damn, don't pinch me like a soft persimmon!" Green watched the other party choose to break through here, and he was even more angry, this was a question of his ability!
Hold the whip in your right hand and activate [Rattlesnake] again.
The long whip was like a crooked and agile poisonous snake, opening its bloody mouth and biting at Mr. Ran Rang.
"Vulnerable." Unfazed, Mr. Ran Rang drew the long sword behind him and cut off the whip that happened to be straight.
"How is it possible, the vassal has been destroyed!" Green was shocked.
However, he didn't get confused because of this, leaned over and picked up the unconscious red pupils and flashed in a direction different from Mr. Ran Rang's direction, directly making a way for him.
"Cowardly and afraid of death, you still have a chance to block my ......" Mr. Ran Rang sneered, ignoring Green's emotions at all, feeling that the two behind him were about to catch up, and he was not sure to kill this glasses man in such a short time, so he turned around and fled.
"Green, what about that guy?" Luo Ya's qi was a little uncomfortable, the consumption just now was definitely a lot, and he should hurry up to recover at this time, but he didn't care about it, and still asked Green.
"I'm sorry to let him run." Green replied curtly, embarrassed.
"It's okay, you can't stop him with the state you just had, Miscellaneous Fish." Nahasiu comforted people in this strange way, "Luckily we didn't die. ”
"That guy, if I meet him again, I won't be able to spare him." Seeing that the red pupil was still not awake, Luo Ya pointed at the sky and cursed hatefully.
"Well, that figure is...... Pawnee. "Nahasiu has a keen eye and an instant insight into the truth.
"Captain, Dad...... The eldest sister and Guy were both killed by the bad guys. When Boni saw the figure of his companions, he finally couldn't hold back his tears, and he couldn't pretend to be strong, and cried out loud.
"It's okay...... Don't cry......" Nahaxiu hugged Boni's stumbling body and felt the softness of the girl's body, "Don't indulge in hatred like you, people always have life and death...... I can't go on, I can't even believe it anymore...... In short, cry as much as you want, wipe your tears away when you're done crying, and stop thinking about these things. Leave the revenge to me and Loya. Isn't it, Loya? ”
For the first time, Gozzi's eyes became so red and swollen, and the tears he held back wet his sockets, moistened his eyes, and were a little frighteningly red.
Goztsy ...... I'm dead, and I haven't got revenge......
Loya began to be in a trance, and suddenly thought about the deaths of Cornelia and Guy.
Although he is a little, Guy is actually a good man who is single-minded......
Cornelia, who once took care of Red Hitomi, and the person who killed her, can't be spared......
Loya's face became even more gloomy and she nodded vigorously.
Green bit his lip and forced his tears back.
This revenge must be avenged!
In another area of the woods, Pengze and Protis were on their way to help.
They didn't know that Mr. Ran Jean had retreated.
However, they still encountered a little trouble along the way.
They were inexplicably attacked by a bunch of iron swords.
"Bastard, what's going on!" Proxiu had just experienced an incident that was not recognized by the emperor, and he was in an extremely irritable mood, eager to kill, but unfortunately there was no place to vent his anger, and now, he encountered this inexplicable thing again, he was really drunk!
"Calm down, bald." "This must be artificial, trying to block our way. ”
"What kind of sneaky person dares to come out and fight me?" Proxiu provoked, this kind of stuffy beating was too embarrassing.
"Hehe, of course you can." A man with black hair and blue eyes in a black jacket walked out from behind the woods. Judging by his age, he was probably in his twenties.
"Who is Your Excellency, and why did you intercept us?" Peng Ze asked.
After all, if it's a misunderstanding, it's good to unravel it, and at this juncture, if you can fight one less fight, you can fight one less fight.
"Whosoever is he who wants your life?" The brunette man didn't give up.
Behind him, a large area of floating metal sharp objects was extremely impressive, even obscuring people's view of the sky.
"This guy can really manipulate metal." Although Peng Ze was a little surprised, he still said without changing his face.
"This guy seems to be just the right thing to restrain my courtiers." Proxiu also felt the other party's trickiness.
There are only a few emperors and vassals who can have attribute damage, and it is really unlucky enough for Proxiu to run into it.
Proxiu and Peng Ze glanced at each other and decided to break through immediately.
No matter how powerful the other party is, manipulating so many metal sharp weapons at one time will definitely cause great oppression to the spirit, which can only lead to three consequences: the time is not long enough, the precision of the manipulation is not enough, or the opponent's spirit collapses directly.
Of course, both Prosho and Pengze want the third case.
The first two situations, no matter how you think about it, are a huge threat to yourself.
"Up." Peng Ze's gaze suddenly became sharp.
"Hmm." Proxiu also straightened his face, although he looked a little funny with his huge bald head, but he still had an aura of not being angry and arrogant.
"Come on." The black-haired man ignored the seriousness of the other man, as if he was ignorant of the tension, and acted in such a sinister manner when everyone else was tightening their mental strings.
"How dare you look down on me!" Bald heads are all irritable, and Proxiu is a bald head, so he is no exception.
The black-haired man was also taken aback when he looked at Proxiu who ushered in him, he didn't expect this man who was as strong as a fat pig to have such a moving speed.
"Prostheus, be careful, damn it...... Don't mess with me. Peng Ze was very worried about the safety of his teammates, but the last words were really not flattering.
"Fat pig, die." The black-haired man's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he beckoned four or five swords to fly, and with a wave of his hand, his mind was highly concentrated, and the four or five swords stabbed at Proxiu who was running.
"Who do you think you are?" Proxiu shouted angrily, and a huge shield lay across his head, blocking four or five of the opponent's swords. The light on the surface of the shield dimmed under the clanging collision, but the four or five swords were also curled.
A good sword will become a waste sword after being rolled, let alone this kind of shoddy iron sword.
"You know how good I am!" Proxiu smirked, as if he had seen the opponent's miserable end, "Let your Uncle Proxiu tell you what fear is, boy." ”
When the black-haired man saw this scene, a hint of madness flashed in his blue pupils: "This kind of opponent is worthy of a fight." Master Estes really didn't deceive me, what a good opponent! ”
"This level, it's reached B level, how much money can you earn by killing him?"
"Haha, you're also unbearable, you want to be stained with blood, [ten thousand gold can be enemies]."
The black-haired man pursed his lips in satisfaction as he looked at the black gloves on his hand, and looked up at Proxiu, who was rushing towards him, and the distance was getting closer again.
"Scared, boy!" Prostheus' smile became more and more hideous.
"I am not called a boy, as a dying man, for the sake of the gold you have sent me, I will be merciful to tell you my name - Bake, remember this name, he will be the richest man in the world!"
"Cut, don't talk big, go die!" Proxiu had no scruples, he originally thought that [silent silence] couldn't defend against metal sharp weapons, and he thought that it was also attribute damage and was a little worried, but the attack just now was not painful at all, this kind of flashy guy is not qualified to live in this world full of strong people.
"Hmph." Bake snorted coldly, a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
More than a dozen swords gathered and stabbed towards Proxiu.
"This attack ......" Proxiu controlled [silent silence] as he tried to block it, taunting the other party by the way.
"Be careful, Prosio!" Peng Ze saw Bake's indifferent expression, and immediately felt bad, he felt that something was not quite right from just now, but now it was too late for reinforcements, so he had to remind him loudly.
"Die." Bak whispered those terrible words.
The black gloves suddenly flickered faintly, but in the dark woods, they were like neon lights flashing on the side of the street at night.
Proxiu's [silent silence] in front of him vanished.
"What!" Proxiu was shocked, but there was nowhere to dodge, and his whole body was pierced by more than ten swords and died.
"Idiot, I know that my skill is to manipulate metal, and I still have to use that metal shield to swagger through the market, I am really looking for death." Bake muttered to himself.
The dead, Prosio, belonged to the faction: the Guardians. Minister: [silent silence]. Cause of Death: Because [Silent Silence] was made of metal, he was manipulated by Bake to manipulate the metal to move away by his vassal tool [Ten Thousand Gold Enemies], and was pierced by dozens of swords and died.
"It's a good tool. It should be able to sell for a good price. Picking up [silent silence], Bake muttered. Golden coins will always be his favorite.
His dream, as he said, was to be the richest man in the peaceful times of the Empire.
After all, it's just an unattainable hope.
The flames of war in the empire have begun to spread. As time goes by, it will begin to burn more and more vigorously, until all decay is consumed. Until there is nothing else in the world that can be burned. Until the sky is no longer so gray, until the white clouds are no longer so dirty.
Or until the new life is consumed. Until the sky was covered with darkness, the sun, moon and stars could not see their light, and the blue sky could no longer be seen, the dark clouds rolled, the thunder rumbled, and the drizzle could not moisten the dry and cracked earth. At that time, it will be the end of the road for everyone.
But no matter what, this flame will not be extinguished now, and before it ignites, the fire point of the stars is also an existence that should not be underestimated.
"Bastard, don't get distracted!" When Peng Ze arrived, he saw the corpse of his companion, and he could no longer stay calm, and he made an impact against Bake.
"This is ......" Peng Ze's expression became more and more solemn.
A large metal shield blocked Peng Ze's impact, and it was also as bright as a star in the dark night, which was particularly conspicuous. Although it can be a target for others in a group attack, in a one-on-one situation, this light will not interfere much with the Tyrant. On the contrary, because of this light, it is easier for Bake to spot the figure of Peng Ze, who is good at stealth.
No matter how fast and stealthy anyone moves, they will never be able to hide their shadow in the light. With this faint light and the experience of following Estes for several years, Bake has a sense of battle and vigilance that is far beyond ordinary people. His eyes were like the round night vision eyes of an owl catching mice in the night sky, which made all of Peng Ze's moves invisible at this moment.
"This guy can use [silent silence]." Peng Ze opened the distance between him and the other party, he was still too impulsive just now, as a killer who sneaked in the night, it was not suitable to fight the other party head-on.
"No, he didn't manipulate both at the same time. Is it the effect of his vassals? Manipulating metal, no wonder Proxiu will be planted here......" Peng Ze's thoughts raced, and he quickly came up with an answer that was extremely close to the truth, about the ability of the Bake Minister.
"This guy, unlike those young kids, is someone who really knows how to fight, and there aren't many such people in the entire empire. Judging from the original information, there should be no such reinforcements here. Who is he? Instructors of the Imperial Candidate Group? Or a general returning from the North? Or is it a general who has returned from the South? Peng Ze guessed the identity of the other party, saw that he couldn't do anything, and immediately made a decision, turned around and fled.
The courtier's [unspeakable] was launched, and Pengze's body disappeared into the night and left the battlefield.
"Did you escape? It's boring. Bake looked at the disappearing figure of Peng Ze and whispered to himself.
However, not being able to see through the other party's escape route still made him vigilant, uneasy, and a little scared.
Ministers [unspeakable], ring-type ministers, users Pengze. Through the use of spiritual power stimulation, a layer of protective color is attached to one's body, which is compatible with the environment, which is of great help for sneak attacks and concealment. It also increases the user's strength and speed, but by a lesser rate. There are no significant drawbacks, except for a small increase in combat. Ideal for killers.
