Early in the morning of 15 June, several hills near the fields used as jousting grounds outside Vienna were already crowded with Austrians who had come to watch. There were also many wealthy foreigners among the Austrians, after all, if you didn't count the real battles in the last war, the duel between the gods had not happened for nearly thirty years.

After the Tsar's belated, the dueling sides and their magic armor entered the field.

According to the rules of the duel, both sides cannot use ranged weapons in order to avoid injuring people around them. If someone hurts an onlooker, then she loses the duel.

Sissi was still using the same armor she used to kill the Serbian witch, and the pentagram ink on her breastplate had not yet dried, indicating that its occupants had already achieved a success in the battle against the goddess. If she wins this duel again, a new pentagram will be added to her armor.

And Sissi's opponent, Lin Youde's "concubine" Matsudaira Chihiro's magic armor looks a little different. When the Germans uncovered the cloth covering the magic guide armor, all the people in the field who knew anything about the magic guide had surprised expressions on their faces.

It appears to be a German-made Shinki armor, but with a number of changes to the shell. These temporary additions ruined the original design of the armor, leaving the entire silhouette cluttered and unsightly.

Technicians in white coats were surrounding the magic armor, as if testing something, and the ohmmeter, electric pen and other technical tools in their hands made Sissi's technician look disdainful.

"Tricks!" The old man snorted heavily, "The Prussians are doing these tricks!" ”

The last time Germany and Austria had a direct confrontation was in the middle of the 19th century, when the Germans let the war girls carry conventional weapons on the battlefield for the first time, and taught the Austrian war girls a hard lesson, and then won the battle. So the Austro-Hungarian magicians have always been very unfriendly to their German counterparts.

Now, the Germans are planning to do it again!

The old technician turned back to his apprentices and shouted, "Check all parts of the armor for me again!" This time we are going to show the Prussians that those tricks are useless! ”

After shouting, he turned to Sissi, took out his pipe from his bosom, stuffed it with tobacco, and said to Sissi: "As you can see, the outcome of this battle is no longer your personal problem, we will keep the armor in the best condition, please crush the opponent fiercely." ”

"I don't need to say I'll do it too." Sissi didn't look at the technician, her eyes kept staring at the oriental god in the distance.

Her appearance is so distinctive that her big tail is easily recognizable even in the crowd. The gentleman standing next to him should be the Oriental named Lin Youde, and the little one on the side should be Sidney, who is now the president of Germany. At such a distance, even Sissi's specialized visual power could not distinguish these carefully.

I don't know what the fox was talking to her "owner".

Sissi didn't feel a sense of honor at all in the fox and her owner, but the German president's wife, and a bit of a warrior's temperament. If panhumanism meant that honor was gone, and everyone became like the fox and her master, Sissi felt that she had to do something.

At first, she was really angry when she threw out the gloves, but now that she has calmed down, she feels more and more that she has done the right thing. Grandpa would have agreed with Sissi's approach, that the Austro-Hungarian Empire should not have ended in such a gloomy way, that it should have an ending that will be remembered. One day it will be said that this empire begins with marriage and ends in a battle for honor.

At this time, two red and green flares rose into the sky, which was the signal for both sides to board the plane for final debugging.

Sissi gathered up her thoughts and turned to walk towards her magic armor.

The newly renovated magic armor with her breastplate open was quietly waiting for Sissi. The carefully polished shell seemed to be shinier than the one Sissi had driven to take on the witch alone.

"It's in great shape." The head technician gave a thumbs up to Sissi, "I will definitely be able to give full play to your strength, Miss." ”

Sissi nodded, and then stepped on the pedal into the armor, and the heavy cuirass was immediately closed by the technicians from the outside, and Sissi was enclosed inside the tin can, and it was pitch black all around.

Immediately after that, the magic guide element began to operate, and the light from the magic guide system illuminated the narrow space inside the armor, and then Sissi's spirit and the fluctuations of the armor were synchronized, and her senses were amplified by the armor, expanding to a range of more than ten meters around, and then visual information was transmitted to Sissi's mind.

It is true that you can see directly with both eyes when driving the magic armor, and Sissi often does this, but the vision of the magic armor itself is no worse than that of a human eye.

And it also has many functions that the eye doesn't have, such as magnification.

Sissi used the magic armor to observe her opponent, and watched the fox sit in the ugly German-made armor, and the German president's lady and her adviser stood in front of the armor, as if the fox was talking something.

The fox was laughing, looking unstressed.

Sissi bit her lip, and at this time, two green flares rose into the air, which was the signal that the duel could begin.

Sissi manipulated her magic armor to stand up, and it was only then that the fox hurriedly closed the outer armor of the magic armor. Sissi took a few steps before the fox's armor left the repositorial area and walked towards the middle of the dueling arena.

Sissi was the first to reach the beginning of the duel, she stood still, waiting for the fox to arrive, and she would not attack until then, which would not be chivalric. Finally, the fox slowly came to the place 100 meters opposite Sissi and stood still, Sissi operated the armor, raised her arm and prepared to salute the fox according to etiquette, at this time, a voice came from the fox's armor.

"Ahhh Well, it seems to be working well. Now, Sissi, can you hear me? ”

Sissi couldn't help but frown, it looked like some kind of amplification equipment, but she didn't find a magic element on the fox's armor that had a sound amplification function - the Germans' armor wouldn't hold such a ghostly thing. The gang had installed other technological products on the magic armor than weapons, and with Sissi's knowledge of the magic craftsmen, they must have been very unhappy about this.

Sissi couldn't guess the fox's intentions, so she decided to respond and see what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd. She manipulated her armor and nodded.

"Well, I can hear you. I just want to ask you, I heard that you killed Dragutin with your own hands? ”

Sissi nodded again.

"Oh, that's true. What a pity, you said that Dragutin had to wait a few more years, and Serbia would not be able to annex Bosnia and Herzegovina without bloodshed, and his dream of a Greater Serbia would come true. As a result, he hurriedly launched a war, making a mess of Bosnia and his own country that was destined to be occupied, and destroying the Serbian goddess who was finally born. ”

Sissi is now very puzzled, what the hell does this guy want to do?

She decided to wait and see, and although she could turn on the amplification equipment on her armor to respond to the fox, Sissi didn't intend to drain her mental power for nothing—maybe that was what the fox was trying to achieve in this nonsense.

At this time, the fox continued: "But as is often the case, the god of success does not favor those who have exhausted their calculations, nor does he favor those who are full of honor, but favors those who can predict and grasp the direction of the future. Like people like us. People like you, who have been living in the past, can't have a future. ”

"I'm not interested in the future you're talking about," Sissi couldn't hold back after all, turning on the amplification element on the armor, "I only care about the honor that is in front of me now, you have tarnished the dignity of Austria-Hungary, I must ......"

"A country that behaves so badly has no dignity for a long time, right?"

Sissi's anger almost took over her chest, but her sanity finally got hold of her feelings.

"Let's stop the verbal confrontation, the people around us are not here to see us to show off our mouths, come on, let's get started." With that, Sissi turned off the amplification element, and then put her magic guide armor in a posture, "Because I'm a challenger, I'll give you the first-hand attack." ”

"Oh, what a chivalrous speech, I was moved, I felt cute."

…… Moe, cute?

"How about the words created by my master, the pronunciation is cute, right?" The fox seemed to be able to read what Sissi was thinking, and immediately explained, "But I don't understand the specific meaning, and I can understand every word of his explanation, but I don't understand what it means together." I really don't have a very good brain. ”

The fox's chatter made Sissi feel a little irritated, but the other party didn't seem to have any intention of stopping.

"I'll tell you......"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Sissi couldn't help but turn on the megaphone again, "Attack quickly!" ”

"Oh, Miss Sissi, you are really impatient, then, there is no way......" Before he finished speaking, the fox's armor rushed towards Sissi, and the distance of a hundred meters disappeared in the blink of an eye.

It's not like the German-made magic armor!

But Sissi's reflexes weren't vegetarian either, and the moment she dodged the fox's dashing attack, she swung her long sword in her armored hand and slashed at the fox's back.

The blade slashed directly into the long barrel-shaped thing behind the armor, and Sissi only then noticed that the tail end of the long barrel was spraying tongues of fire—

Liquid gushed out from the crack in the blade, and a series of small flashes appeared where the fox's armor and the barrel met, and the barrel fell off entirely.

The fox used the power of the armor itself to quickly move away from Sissi, and an explosion occurred.

In a hurry, Sissi shielded the torso of the Magic Armor with her shield, but the shockwave and fragments of the barrel still hit the corners of the armor. Fortunately, the Austro-Hungarian Magic Armor, like the armor of most countries, had a far superior frontal defense capability than other directions, and the fragments did not cause fatal damage to Sissi's armor, but she could feel that some of the magic runes on the shoulders and calves had been damaged to a certain extent, but they could barely maintain their operation.

At this time, Sissi was surrounded by a sea of fire, and it appeared that the liquid that had been sprayed from the long barrel had been sprinkled on the ground around him, and was ignited by the explosion.

The flames and smoke made Sissi's vision very difficult, and she hurried to the side to avoid the fox that might come at her.

But until Sissi rushed out of the flames, the fox did not attack.

When her vision widened again, Sissi noticed that the fox's armor was standing a hundred meters away from her, looking like she was waiting for her to reappear.

"It's really unrealistic to rely on this explosion to kill you." The fox continued to use the megaphone and said, "It is better to keep it and continue to increase your power—although von Brown said that the fuel was only enough for a dozen seconds." ”

"What was that?" Sissi couldn't help but turn on the megaphone again, "Hidden weapon?" ”

"No, no, it's just an additional maneuvering component, it seems to be using some kind of liquid rocket engine, Feng Brown said that it is likely to explode if it is hit, and told me to use it carefully, so I want to try to see if I can use it as a weapon."

Sissi gritted her teeth, the mental pressure from the impact of the explosion just now had not completely faded, and now the back of her head was still aching.

"You've made the first move." Sissi said, "It's up to me to look at me below." ”

With that, she stabbed towards the fox.

Since it is impossible to use ranged weapons and fly high into the air - the life of the person who loses the duel is not guaranteed - this duel tactic is made simple. It felt a lot like the duel in those western movies made in the United States of America, where the two sides just compared the speed of the guns and the accuracy of the fire, and there were no tricks at all, just a hard-nosed battle. The faster and more accurate will win the battle.

Sissi is very confident in her speed and the accuracy of her attacks, and she is not afraid of her opponent's moves, so she can just dismantle them anyway.

But at this moment, her remarkable dynamic vision suddenly saw that the fox had also set up her long sword, and it seemed that she did not intend to dodge it at all, and was about to pierce the long sword into Sissi's breastplate at the same time as Sissi stabbed the sword into her chest.

If this is the case, then the competition is about the understanding of the opponent's magic armor structure.

If one side's sword is jammed, then the other side wins.

After a decision of just a tenth of a second, Sissi did not change her original direction, and also drove the flying engine of the magic armor, increasing her speed to the extreme in an instant.

The opponent may also fall backwards at the moment before Sissi's long sword pierces the cuirass, use the arc of the cuirass to spread out the sharp head of the long sword, and at the same time attack the lower plate of Sissi's armor with a sword - the opponent is unstable in the process of falling to the ground and cannot exert force, it will become very difficult to penetrate the thickest cuirass, and if the sword is not good, it will be stuck in the cuirass and cannot be pulled out, so the opponent will be very passive, so attacking the weaker leg armor of the lower plate is a better choice.

However, no matter whether the other party wants to work hard or play tricks, Sissi has the confidence to deal with it.

The distance of more than a hundred meters disappeared in an instant, and the black cross of the German magic armor was already close in front of him.

The other did not fall backwards.

Sissi smiled, she really didn't expect the other party to respond to her attack in such a chivalrous way-

She could already see her sword piercing through the opponent's armor, and she herself would lose her left shoulder.

Then the two sides probably rushed down the discarded armor and engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and I heard that the opponent was also a god who was very good at hand-to-hand combat......

Just as these thoughts crossed Sissi's mind, her longsword hit the barrier of light.

The barrier wasn't large, and the part that could be visually identified was no bigger than an egg, but Sissi knew exactly what it was.

Complete Defensive Barrier!

It is not effective for the Divine Queen and the Divine Queen to completely defend the barrier during hand-to-hand combat, and the explanation of the Wizard Technicians is that if the Divine Queen and the Divine Queen activate the barrier at the same time, the barrier will neutralize each other.

But every god with actual combat experience knew that it was not neutralization at all, but that the barriers of the two interfered with each other, so that neither of them could maintain the stability of the barrier.

But! That guy managed to maintain a barrier the size of an egg when the two sides were already close enough to this extent! Although it was only the size of an egg, the strength of the barrier was almost infinite, and the angle between it and the blade of Sissi's longsword was very small, so Sissi's longsword was directly deflected towards the sword.

Sissi's sword is specially made for the thrust, and the hilt can be extended, so that when the two hands hold the hilt together, there is a relatively long force arm between the back hand and the hand that is the fulcrum, which can better stabilize the sword in the thrust and avoid being deflected.

But now, the powerful force tugged at Sissi's left arm, indicating that the longsword had deviated from its original thrust trajectory.

The tip of the sword grazed the shoulder of the fox's magic armor, and the fox's sword pierced into the gap between Sissi's magic armor breastplate and shoulder armor.

The sensation in Sissi's left arm vanished instantly, and then the blood mist formed by the large amount of blood filled the entire interior of the armor with the smell of salty awakening.

At the same time as the smell of blood came from the nasal cavity, the severe pain followed, but it was quickly suppressed by the analgesic mechanism that came with the armor-

At this time, those strange add-ons on the front of the fox's armor suddenly exploded.

The powerful shockwave hit Sissi directly, flapping her backwards to the ground.

"Oh, this bomb really only shoots energy forward!" The fox's exclamation reached Sissi's ears.

Sissi activated the flight component, intending to get out of the fox's attack range first, but she had barely stepped back a meter before she crashed into something.

She immediately realized that it was the absolute defensive barrier the size of the fox's egg.

This collision is different from just now, most of the force of Sissi's impact just now has been deflected, and the fox's spirit should have been quite impacted this time. But that doesn't change the fact that Sissi is in decline.

But Sissi didn't give up, she kicked directly at the fox's weight-bearing leg, but the fox flew up before being kicked.

It was not against the rules of the duel to fly only at low altitudes, and the fox was just like that from a height of only one meter, looking down on Sissi who had fallen to the ground, the sword in his hand pointed at her breastplate.

"I said it at the beginning," the fox's voice came over the megaphone again, "we represent the future." Against the future, there is no chance of winning, antique. ”
