Chapter 8: Cleaning the Battlefield
What is the concept of a mercenary blowing up a power armored knight head-on?
It's probably like a three-year-old kindergarten kid who blows up a 30-year-old muscular man head-on.
In fact, the bonus that equipping the power armor gives to the knight itself far exceeds the difference between a thirty-year-old muscular man and a three-year-old child.
A three-year-old child stabbed him with a knife, and the strong man would have a hole in his leg.
The strong man took the hammer and slammed it, and the power armor knight stood here and smashed it at will, until the hammer handle broke and shattered, and there would be no mark on the armor.
As a power armor designed by military technology, the original purpose was to replace the mechanical vehicle of the tank, and the most basic role is bulletproof.
Unless it is a professional anti-materiel sniper rifle, ordinary firearms cannot penetrate at all.
Not to mention the sword, if you want to break the power armor with a cold weapon, you must at least have physical strength above level 8.
Considering that the last time the Demon Tide rose was at the end of the Fifth Age, and the Demon Tide level remained at the bottom level of Level 5, it has been hundreds of years now.
Therefore, in this day and age, the Power Armor Knight is electricity, light, a myth on the battlefield, and a SuperStar for all soldiers, mercenaries and adventurers.
Now SuperStar has been blown up head-on by a mercenary...... So much so that everyone present, whether it was the night watchmen or the mercenary girls, did not know what kind of expression to use to face this fact.
Looking at the black knight who fell to the ground and completely fell into the corpse of death, everyone's expressions at this time were numb, indifferent, and down.
"Ha, hahaha......" Knight Lorent's eyes twitched, and he laughed awkwardly, "This black knight must be wearing a fake power armor." ”
He stepped forward and kicked the Black Knight's power armor with his foot, making a crisp sound of steel clashing.
Power armor is real.
I really can't fool people now.
The chief knight, Quasimodo, came back to his senses and sighed helplessly.
This time, even if the other party didn't give him the steps, he couldn't continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
The night watchman can face the low-level mercenaries without pretense, but when he encounters this kind of swordsmanship master who is second to none even in the world, he must make proper friends and build a good relationship.
When in the future, when you encounter a major undead mutation that even the headquarters has a headache for, you will have to ask these swordsmanship masters to come out and help.
Therefore, as the chief knight of the night watchman Morningstar team, Quasimodo is even more obliged to envelop the other party for the night watch, at least not as completely cold as before.
Let's start by improving the relationship.
Trying to soothe the tense expression on his face, the chief knight Quasimodo turned his head with difficulty, forced a smile and compliment:
"What an amazing fighting skill. I didn't expect that in your mercenary group, it was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon......"
His words came to an abrupt halt, as the mercenary girls were all stunned, and their faces were all shocked with disbelief.
"Wait, why do you look scared too......" Quasimodo asked feebly.
The girls looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and their minds were blank.
Yes, everyone originally thought that Asker was a very powerful person, but they didn't expect his real level to be so strong that he was not even human...... From today on, he is a god, a top-level god, and an unattainable existence that everyone can only look up to.
The dignified power armor knight, the output power is calculated in tons, the burst speed can rush to 10 meters per second, the whole body is covered with 360 degrees of military steel armor without dead ends, and the body is still an undead spirit who has no feelings, is always rational, and will not make mistakes.
You actually took a few cold weapons and exploded head-on...... Are you still human? You're possessed by the god of war! I don't dare to write a novel like this!
"Nola." After a long time of hard work, Aske finally pried open the black knight's power armor, revealing the exoskeleton, hydraulic connectors and circuit boards underneath, "You come and study it." ”
"Huh? Oh! Nola remembered that she was a military nun. In addition to healing skills, mechanical maintenance is also her profession, so she hurried over.
"Well, what do you want me to do?" She stammered, "Fix this power armor, right?" ”
"I'm just asking you to come over and take a look and familiarize yourself with the inner workings of the power armor." Asker said helplessly, "What's the matter with this honorific title?" Why did it suddenly become 'you'? ”
"Because if you call him by his first name, I always feel that it is offensive to you......" Nora said embarrassedly.
"No, it won't." Aske sighed, "Just call 'you' or call me by my name." ”
Well...... Nora looked tangled, but finally nodded.
Aske stood up and beckoned to Medea, motioning for her to come over.
"Do you have any commands? Captain? Medea bowed slightly and said with a smile on her face.
"Every time you say the word 'you' in the future, you will run a lap in the morning exercise the next day." Asker said with a blank expression.
"Well, I'm just kidding." Medea's face turned pale, and she hurriedly smiled and played a round.
The so-called morning exercise running lap refers to running around the edge of the fire island, which is not just a length of one or two kilometers.
"What the hell is going on with you?" Aske frowned and said, "One by one suddenly extremely respectful, playing maid PLAY?" ”
"No, no, no, we just have been refreshed three views." Medea waved her hand and said, "After all, everyone used to think that the Power Armor Knight was almost invincible on the frontal battlefield. This time, I was a little frightened to see you kill the Black Knight so neatly. ”
"Oh." Asker realized that he had made a preconceived notion himself.
In the original game world, a level3 player blew up the power armor knight head-on, and everyone only felt that this guy was hanging at first, after all, not everyone has a clear understanding of the strength of e-sports players.
And in this world, the transcendent of Level 3 has blown up the power armor knight, and everyone will never think of the plug-in - they will only think in shock: "It's not human, right?" "This son is so terrifying?" "Are all the mercenaries out there monsters?"
"Actually, it's nothing." Aske decided to be modest, lest the girls worship themselves too much and cause the follow-up teaching work to be difficult to carry out, "The Power Armor Knight is not invincible, you don't need to be so exaggerated. ”
"Of course, it was just a surprise." Medea said with a smile, "Now we have enough knowledge of the upper limit of your strength. In the future, if you poke the demigod with a toothpick, we will only smile slightly, and we will not be surprised anymore. ”
"If someone does poke a demigod with a toothpick, I'd suggest you politely shock it." Aske shook his head, "Medea, you discuss with the Night Watch Knights that the ghouls will sell them the spiritual materials. ”
"And this Black Knight's power armor, when we finish researching, we will also sell it together."
So Medea went to negotiate with the Night's Watch. Asker thought for a moment, then called Peggy and said:
"The spiritual material on the Black Knight's body is the corrupted central brain nucleus, located in the cerebellum within its skull. But its head was blown off by me with a gun, so why don't you look around with your spirit? It should be a gray, stone-like object. ”
Peggy: ..................
So she pushed aside the grass on the ground and searched her surroundings spiritually.
The rest of the girls, after recovering from the shock, also began to chatter.
"This is the sword!" Mia picked up Asker's sword from the ground and raised it high like the legendary Excalibur, singing in an aria-like melody.
"Sword of Kings~"
"Pull it out of the stone~"
"Slay the evil Black Knight~"
Mi'er clapped expressionlessly beside her, snapping.
"Show me the sword, Mia!" Sidlifa said earnestly, but Mia quickly took the sword in her arms and ran away.
"At least give me a touch...... Sidlifa lowered her arm weakly.
"I can give you a touch with my gun." Eleanor looked at her dejected appearance and said, "Strictly speaking, it was my spear that killed the Black Knight last. ”
"It's different." Hidrifa was amazed, "What I want to know is, why is this longsword able to pierce the helmet of power armor, also made of steel?" It stands to reason that the hardness of steel should be about the same, right? Could it be that the long sword is really the so-called 'sword of kings'? ”
"You really believe the child's playful words......" Eleanor laughed.
Medea, on her part, quickly negotiated a deal. The knights of the night watch, who were originally so cold that no one could enter, were unexpectedly cordial and talkative, and when the knight chief Quasimodo talked to her, he couldn't wait to write the word "friendly" on the door of his head.
After reading it with a little mental ability, Medea immediately understood what was going on, and showed a kind of fox smile.
"It's negotiated, here's their offer." Medea reported to Aske on the Psychic Channel.
"So good?" Asker was a little surprised.
"Isn't the discount good?" Medea smiled and said, "It's better than just refusing and not making any deals with us, okay?" ”
"Hmm." Asker pondered.
"I have an idea." Medea continued, "You brought us to participate in this undead mutation, perhaps for the purpose of training the team members and actual combat training. However, isn't it more important than this to get the next stage of potions? ”
"You mean?"
"As one of the three legal transcendent organizations in the world, the Night's Watch must have accumulated a lot of spiritual materials and even the recipes for the potions themselves over the past thousands of years, and countless mutations." Medea told the story.
"Potion recipes and materials above Sequence II may not be sold to us, but Sequence I should be fine, right?"
"They refused to trade, but now they suddenly changed their words and said yes, also because you showed extraordinary strength. Then, as long as you continue to behave like this, once you enter the sight of a higher-level night watchman......"
"They're going to pay us a higher price." Asker nodded.
"It's not us, it's just you." The corners of Medea's mouth lifted and she smiled slyly, "So next, as long as it's more eye-catching, it's not a problem in terms of your strength, right?" ”
"Pretending to be a force." Asker groaned, "I'll try it as much as I can." ”
"I'll be there for you." Medea's afterglow glanced at the Night Watch Knights over there, "Also, that Morning Star Knight Captain Quasimodo doesn't seem to be very popular among the other Night Watch Knights. ”
"Maybe you can be the object of conflict......" she whispered, thinking to herself.
According to the negotiated deal, the knight chief Quasimodo paid the bill happily.
Of course, according to the organizational process, it was supposed to go through the process of reporting first, get the approval of Commander Bryce, and then go to the quartermaster to settle the loot in the warehouse, and finally give the money to these foreign mercenaries.
Quasimodo chose to borrow money from other Night's Watch knights temporarily, and bought these materials in advance with his own private funds, which was an additional gesture of favor to Asker and others.
With the real money in hand, the girls' faces finally improved, and they no longer rejected and disgusted the night watchmen as they had at the beginning.
Seeing the easing of relations between the two sides, Quasimodo quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
After harvesting and packing all the spoils, the Knights of the Night's Watch set off to report on their duties.
On the whole, there were no casualties this time, which is a blessing in misfortune.
Thanks to this mercenary group...... What's the name of this mercenary group, Pale Sword?
"What's the name of your mercenary group?" The knight Jalevin walked last and quietly accosted Nola.
"The Azure Sword." Nora replied, "Although we are not well-known yet, we will definitely be famous in the future." ”
She said in a confident and firm tone.
"I believe that too." Knight Jalevin laughed heartily, "Do you want me to introduce you to a few big customers?" We, the Knights of the Night Watch, are often tasked with removing the undead from the nobles, so we also have a bit of a network in high society. ”
"Yes, yes." Nola's eyes lit up and she said immediately.
"Then let's add a CM friend first." Knight Jalevin took out his phone.
