503 The dignity of order
"This is not the place for you, kids."
ββ¦β¦ Sorry, we didn't mean to. β
Still holding an eye-catching large pipe in his mouth, Ricas, who claimed to be a police officer, jumped into the street below, and at the same time blocked his rather dashing figure between Stark and Duan Qing on the other side of the river: "Tonight is a lively night, toothless kitten...... But it's hard to survive. β
"It's also a surprise that Lord Rikas can be here." Duan Qing in the shadows replied helplessly: "Do you also have any intentions, do you want to take this opportunity to dispose of which guy?" β
"No, this officer and the outlaws...... Definitely not a fellow traveler. β
Lightly pulling out the long sword at his waist, Rikas began to walk in the direction of the river bank, and then casually pushed away a few chaotic figures at the same time, and came to the front of the avenue along the river: "So ......"
"Whatever they want to do tonight, I'll stop it!"
The sword-wielding officer shouted loudly amid the sound of the spear tip and the chain still colliding, and then slashed into a bright sword light against the huge stone slab thrown by the short black shadow on the opposite side. The straight line that suddenly appeared in the dark night instantly broke the boulder in front of him in half, smashed the lamppost behind him with a roaring sound of destruction, and turned into thousands of quick fragments as it slammed into the wall, and some dark shadows from other neighborhoods seemed to have received some kind of summons, and killed in the direction of the officer: "Kill that evil star!" β
"Kill him!"
"How dare you jump out at this time?"
"You will be judged by us, Inquisitor!"
"The so-called 'outlaw' word...... That's what you guys are. β
Looking at the stout figure who no longer paid attention to this, Rikas sighed deeply, and then raised his hands in the face of the gang members who had once again aroused public outrage because of his presence, and countless blinding lights shot out along his arms, sweeping the entire street from his cuffs one after another, and then in the screams that rose again around him, he was the first to pierce the chests of the two enemies who rushed to the front.
"Not only do you love to die, but you also have a ...... of strength No judgment. β
The machine-gun-like light moved with the movement of Ricas's arms, and then in the crossing of the two arms, a large horizontal barrage was swept out, and the area in front of the river avenue was unexpectedly emptied by the "bullet", and flew into the corner of the darkness with countless fallen corpses, the police officer with the pipe in his mouth narrowed his eyes in a pleasant face, a smile escaped from the corner of his mouth, and then suddenly turned around, and the muzzle of the gun under the two sleeves was aimed at the crowd behind who wanted to surround him: "Miniature Wind Blade Generator...... Who wants to try it? β
"This guy ...... Could it be that you have traveled back in time from the future? β
In the frightened group of people retreating, Duan Qing, who was hiding in the corner, sighed and shook his head: "It's just crushing a cold weapon with a hot weapon." β
"In my personal opinion, ordinary hot weapons should not be able to withstand the power of magic." Xue Lingphantom Ice replied with a low smile, "And ......"
"Listen to the officer, what he has in his sleeve...... I guess it's some kind of magical creation. β
As if to intimidate the hesitant enemies, Ricas, who had lowered his arms, chuckled and turned his head, as if he didn't want to pay any attention to the already frightened minions, and began to prepare to cross the bridge over the river. The sturdy figure who sensed the change in the situation also turned his gaze to this side of the river again, silently raising the giant weapon in his hand, and only then was Duan Qing able to see the appearance of the weapon of the guy who called himself Stark through some dim lightβa huge iron hammer like a stone pillar.
The hammer, several times taller than himself, made a loud noise on the ground, and then flew into the air on the other side of the river, and then with the explosion of the figure smashing the floor, the blood-stained rusty hammer head was blocked like a feather in front of the officer who wanted to fly over: "Stark......"
"I don't like you."
As if the suppressed anger had accumulated at this moment, a terrifying air whistle resounded in the space above the river, and then with a loud bang, the figure in mid-air was shot back into the air on the left side of the river bank like a baseball. The officer, who was too fast to distinguish his figure, smashed through a guardrail on the side of the street, hammered into the wall behind him, and then collapsed the back wall of the house with a huge crack that appeared there. The short figure that had completed this blow appeared in the middle of the bridge connecting the two ends of the river bank at this time, slowly stood up straight, but the silent appearance seemed to have lost the interest in determining the life and death of the target, turned around and walked towards the original position, the huge hammer standing in the air was also like its owner, and fell weakly to the other end of the bridge, and next to the depression in the ground that smashed out, several gangsters who had been hiding next to it also jumped out with a shout: "Long live the patriarch!" β
"One hit, one blow and it's done, hahahaha!"
"Damn Ricas, he should have gone to hell a long time ago!"
"Kill him, kill him!"
It was as if the improvised crusade had put down their opponents and rushed across the bridge with a shout, and then rushed in the direction of the collapsed wall with the members of the other neighborhoods who had heard the noise. The chilling sword qi immediately erupted from the inside of one of the enemy shadows, sweeping more than a dozen of them screaming enemies under the river, and the others Huo Ran turned around and looked over, and the figure belonging to Duan Qing was finally displayed in front of their eyes: "X, why is your hatred value so big......
"Didn't you say you wouldn't show up?"
A cold sword aura then appeared in the shadows behind him, piercing several enemies in a straight line around Duan Qing: "Why did you still make a move?" β
"The friend introduced by the fat man also took care of us when he entered the city, and he saved the two of us once just now, how could he let it go?"
Helplessly, Duan Qing took out the stone hammer behind his back, and then looked at Stark, who was paying attention again on the other side of the river, and pouted his lips quite dissatisfied: "People are more popular than people, why is the weapon in the boss's hand so powerful......"
"That's a seller's show, it's uncountable."
A woman in a black cloak immediately appeared in front of the riverside avenue, taking the lead in blocking several enemies from that direction: "Trust me...... If that thing falls into your hands, you won't be able to use it. β
"Hey, don't you believe me?"
"Well, even if I'm sure you're fine."
The figures of the two players staggered in the air, and then, with their respective attacks, began to clear in the direction of the bridgehead: "But...... The appearance of that weapon really doesn't match your image. β
"Lola, you should have seen it, right? Is that called contrast, do you understand? β
ββ¦β¦ If you're a man, don't sell anything cute. β
"Men should be hungry for power! Maybe it's an artifact, an artifact! β
"Oh? So you're going to go over and kill that Stark now...... Can you do it? β
The dialogue between the two of you and me sounded on the left and right of the riverside avenue, steadily advancing with the sword light that lit up from time to time, and finally broke through to the vicinity of the bridge in more and more attraction and encirclement. There still seemed to be no movement of any living people in the ruins where the rubble was still falling downward, but the thugs who ran over before didn't seem to have much energy to confirm the life and death of that police officer, because in addition to the sword qi from Duan Qing and Xue Ling Phantom Ice, more and more earth-based magic also appeared around this intersection with the flash of the stone hammer: "He, they also have magicians!" β
"Watch your step! And also...... Search for me! β
"Who are those two adventurers, they have already killed more than a dozen of our brothers in the Giant Axe Gang......"
"So are we...... Wait, you're from the Greataxe Gang? β
The increasingly chaotic scene spread from the ruins behind the bridge as the battle situation tilted, and Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing, who were using the earthen walls and lanes, the pressure on defense became less and less, and with the sudden screams of several thugs who wanted to bypass the roof, the temporary army formed because they wanted to kill a certain police officer finally collapsed, and a certain voice from the ruins finally broke through the shackles of tension and became the last straw that overwhelmed these enemies: "You guys...... If you don't have to do this, the official is not dead. β
"Why didn't you say it sooner if you didn't die......?"
A blue-haired female swordsman who was revealing her figure on the roof smiled slightly, Duan Qing walked into the collapsed ruins, and then, after a quick rummag, pulled the body belonging to Rikas out of the rubble: "You like to scare people, right?" β
"Ahem...... I've got fluid shields, life-saving things that won't be easily killed. β
Reaching out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, Rikas smiled confidently, and then, after a slap, found his lost pipe: "You guys do this...... Where do I put this old face? β
"The strength of the Twelve Thrones, isn't it still too reluctant for you?" Duan Qing didn't answer the other party's complaints, but pointed to the other side of the river bank on the periphery of the melee crowd: "It's so easy to run over and shout to stop them...... Where does your confidence come from? β
"You know what, little one."
After shaking his hands and operating in his cuffs for a while, a flame suddenly erupted from Ricas's hands, and then in Duan Qing's helpless eyes, he rekindled his pipe: "Tonight is the War of the Throne, not the time to settle the personal grievances between them, so anyone who wants to intervene at this time except for Talsinger, who wants to grab the throne...... It's all illegal. β
"The gangs, the organizations, the other throne owners, and you little ones......" he let out a long puff of smoke before pointing to the still tangled leaders on the other side of the river, "None of you are orderly, and as a police officer in Liberty City, it is my duty to stop everyone, including you." β
"Is there really such a thing as 'order' in Free City?"
Jumping from the rooftop, the whisper picked up the figures of the two enemies who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack, and then turned back and asked with a low smile, "The whole city is in the middle of the battle...... I doubt what you're saying. β
"The word 'order'...... Of course there is. β
Flapping his cowboy hat for a while, Rikas buckled his head again, then picked up his longsword and stepped out of the ruins of his own making: "Those rules are invisible, they exist in the hearts of everyone here, and those who know them will naturally live well, and those who don't know them will ...... Eventually, it will be eliminated by this city. β
"Even if I don't show up, the people there will be stopped." He pointed to several leaders in the distance, and said in a low voice, "It's a big fuss...... Maybe the lord of the castle will show up, too. β
"With the news from the rest of the city, nine of the people of the Twelve Thrones have appeared by now."
The woman in the black cloak fell into a silent atmosphere again, and slowly walked in front of Duan Qing: "This kind of grand scene...... I'm afraid that only the city lord can suppress it, right? β
"We're on the side of what is right, and we don't have to be afraid of those guys." Ricas, who was walking at the forefront, kicked a black shadow that wanted to rush up, and grinned: "Although I also want that villain Eduin to die, if it ruins the flow of the war for the throne......"
"Lord of the Castle...... It's going to be upset. β
The fluctuation of the magic accompanied by the earth-shattering explosion sounded in a corner of the bridge, and then the melee crowd blocked there was blown out regardless of whether they were friends or enemies, and Ricas, who had conjured the giant cannon again from there, raised the pipe in his mouth, calmly passed through the huge waves set off by the explosion, and then took Duan Qing and others, who also passed through the smoke, successfully crossed the bridgehead of the bridge, and several gang leaders who were still fighting on the other side seemed to notice the movement here, The distracted attention also began to drift in the direction of Duan Qing and them, but Stark, who had walked slowly past this place and was pressing Old Joel at this time, seemed to have been attracted by another anomaly: "Stark smells a rancid smell. β
"Northland Bison Stark and Joel the Hunter" ......"
The words that flowed out like sticky filth sounded on the other side of Duan Qing and them, in the dark shadows on the other side of the river avenue: "What are you doing...... Doesn't seem to be in line with the rules, right? β
"The owners of the throne are forbidden to harm each other...... Everyone knows that. β
As if sensing the approaching danger as well, old Joel with his spear finally jumped back into his side: "But...... This kind of overt rule isn't the first time I've broken it, Galo. β
"Boom...... I thought only people on our side would do that. β
The ugly voice appeared in everyone's ears with the clarity of a certain figure: "You have also learned badly...... Old Joel. β
"This is the proposal of the Great Axe Huskar."
Old Joel smiled nonchalantly: "If you think so...... Isn't that straightforward warrior who has learned to join forces with others also a kind of progress? β
ββ¦β¦ Very good. β
The black mist gradually spread with the silence of the figure, completely attracting Duan Qing's attention, and then in a wordless silence, he let out an ugly chuckle again: "Your alliance ...... We are proving to the world that we are strong, and your hand is ...... It also gave me a reason to shoot. β
"Show your fears."
He whispered, but his body completely disappeared into the black mist that flowed out along the ground: "...... to the 'Kingkiller' Garo"
"Show your weakness!"
