Chapter 45: Taunt
Major Hammer landed on his head.
His head full of "precious" life experiences turned into Galen's upgrade experience.
Smoker didn't move, he just smoked quietly with his back to Galen.
The large cigar in Smoker's mouth soon burned to the end of his cigarette under his heavy breathing, but he did not take out the cigarette again for the first time.
The cigar smoke that had been permeating the air gradually dissipated, and the fresh air without second-hand smoke really made Galen smell a little unaccustomed.
"Smoker!"
Galen walked over and patted Smoker lightly on the shoulder:
"Don't be swayed by that kind of guy's words!"
"It's obvious that it's distorted to the point that it has no human form, but it still shamelessly teaches what 'life experience' to the younger generations."
"If the sea is full of such 'smart people', the world will really be hopeless."
Galen's face showed a visceral disgust, and he said solemnly:
"As a navy with justice on your back, what you have to do is-"
"Don't forget the original intention, keep the mission in mind!"
"I understand."
Smoker's tone was stiff.
Galen was still a little uneasy, but continued to ask:
"Then why don't you even smoke anymore?"
Smoker gave Galen a strange look: "I'm done." ”
"Hmm..."
Galen, who was addicted, blushed: "When I didn't say it." ”
The trouble of people is to be a good teacher, and Galen's self-righteous mouth is useless for an adult like Smoker with an independent personality and a mature outlook.
Even if Galen hadn't stepped up to make a move, Smoker's ten hands would have slammed steadily into Hammer's head.
After all, he was originally a reckless person who was irritable and even dared to beat his boss.
Major Hammer was detached under Galen's sword, and Lieutenant Charles, who had eaten Smoker's full strength, was also struggling to hover on the edge of the boundary between animals and plants, and the corrupt garrison of Rogue Town was now leaderless.
But the riots at the Rogue base continued, even more so than they had been when Major Hammer had been there.
The leader's violent death did not make those corrupt naval miscellaneous fish trapped, but instead provoked their ferocity to fight against the water.
If you surrender, you will have to go to jail;
Risking the death, outside the base is a boundless sea where all scum can enjoy unlimited freedom.
Thirty of the headquarters navy led by Dusty were blocked at the gate of the base, still engaged in a fierce battle with the corrupt navy that had the numerical superiority.
Flames burst into the base of Rogue Town, and gunshots, shouts, screams, and the sound of gold and iron came one after another, like the tide of the sea.
Smoker spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth, picked up his heavy ten hands, and turned into a cloud of smoke and flew away.
And Galen did not hesitate to pick up the big sword in his hand and ran along with the noise.
In addition to wanting to collect a few more experience points for miscellaneous soldiers, Galen also wants to take advantage of the situation to test his new skills-
After slaying the powerful Major Hammer, Galen was rewarded with a very generous experience point, which led to his rise to level 5 in one go.
Then there is the familiar prompt sound of the system:
Random Reward Draw...
You have received a random reward: Skill [Frenzy Taunt].
This skill comes from the in-game Armored Dragon Turtle Ramos, but its effect is slightly different from the game like Galen's other abilities:
"Taunts a unit, forcing the target to attack itself for 2 seconds."
"The range of use is limited to 30 meters."
It was far from the original skill description in his impression, and Galen was vaguely aware that the effect that this [Frenzy Taunt] might play in reality should be very different from that in the game.
With the idea of experimenting with skills, Galen soon rushed to a battlefield where there were still small battles with his broadsword.
The few Navy soldiers who rushed in with Dusty were engaged in a fierce battle with the corrupt navy on top of their blood, completely unaware that a powerful aid had been put aside.
And this powerful helper did not pick up the big sword and go up to cut people as before, but stood by and carefully observed the battle situation.
Galen's eyes wandered for a while, and finally fixed his gaze on a strong man who was fighting with the headquarters navy at close range.
Galen used [Crazy Taunt] in his mind, and couldn't help but shout at the unlucky ghost:
"The thief! Hack me! ”
"Huh?"
Everyone present was slightly stunned.
If you look at the effect of the skills in the game, that guy should turn his head and rush towards him at the first moment...
Galen thought to himself.
And then...
A gunshot rang out, and the bullet hit Galen's armor impartially.
The first reaction of the sword-wielding man after being taunted by Galen was to put down the blade in his hand and directly draw a flintlock pistol from his waist to shoot Galen in the distance.
Galen was slightly stunned, and immediately understood the hidden meaning of this skill: it only forces the target to attack himself, but it is not limited to the opponent's attack method...
Galen couldn't help but be a little disappointed:
In the game, the frantic taunt of the dragon turtle can force the opponent to only use ordinary attacks, and when used, it can force a group of crispy mages to go down in person and play empty-handed hand-to-hand combat with a meat shield king, and its control is self-evident.
His own crazy taunt does not seem to be as powerful as he imagined.
However, Galen soon changed his mind about the skill...
Before the two-second duration of [Frenzy Taunt] had passed, the unlucky ghost who had been hit reloaded his ammunition like crazy after a shot, and put on a fierce attitude that was desperate to shoot at Galen.
However, the naval soldier of the headquarters who had just fought with him at close range hadn't left yet...
After a brief moment of surprise, the sailor quickly reacted and slashed at the unlucky man.
At a close distance, the big knife swung in front of him, but the unlucky ghost didn't seem to see it.
All he could think about was attacking Galen again.
But the face of the corrupt navy was clearly marked by fear and panic, and it was obviously not without sanity.
It seems that there is an absolute presence in the shadows that plays with his will, forcing him to attack Galen by all means.
The blade slashed off his shoulder, directly ruining the small half of his arm, and blood splattered everywhere.
The corrupt navy with a broken arm suddenly let out an uncontrollable scream of pain, and his facial muscles twisted violently from the pain.
But even so, he struggled to attack Galen in the distance...
It wasn't until the end of the two-second duration that he collapsed in a pool of blood in horror, and instantly passed out due to the severe injuries on his body.
The whole process...
It looks like a horror movie with the ultimate thriller.
As a user of the skill, Galen himself felt a little chilled.
There was silence...
Galen, the headquarters navy, and the corrupt navy looked at each other on three sides, and they didn't know what to say about it.
[Frenzy Taunt]'s taunt's 12-second cooldown has unnoticed.
Galen silently looked at the other enemy soldier again, and silently said in his heart: "Crazy taunt!" ”
Seeing that the unlucky ghost No. 2 was stunned, he involuntarily picked up his knife and rushed towards Galen.
"How, how?!"
He shouted in panic, but he couldn't help but think about attacking Galen in his head.
It was an extremely contradictory and terrifying experience.
I know the danger and want to avoid it, but my brain is firmly occupied by a completely different thought:
Gotta find a way to fuck the fuck!
In order to attack Galen, he gave up all defenses, all dodge...
The headquarters navy behind it quickly raised its musket and delivered a round of ammunition to the unlucky ghost No. 2.
He screamed and fell to the ground.
However, even as he collapsed in a pool of blood, he struggled to grab a handful of dirt on the ground and threw it at Galen.
The second died on the way to attack Galen...
The scene was silent.
This kind of method of distorting people's will out of thin air is too strange and terrifying.
After a few seconds, the remnants of the enemy soldiers fell to their knees in unison, crying:
"Spare your life! Don't curse me! ”
"Uh..."
Galen waved his hand at a few of the headquarters sailors: "I'll leave it to you to deal with." ”
"Yes, yes!"
The Navy soldiers hurriedly nodded yes.
Galen turned around and wanted to leave, but a familiar voice sounded beside him:
"You..."
"How did you do that?"
It was Smoker who spoke.
After Smoker was elementalized, he quickly wiped out the rebels all over the base.
When he had killed a circle and patrolled here, he happened to encounter such a strange scene.
"This..."
Galen, who was stopped by Smoker, had no choice but to push all the Devil Fruit that didn't exist at all:
"This is also the ability of my knight fruit."
"Knight Fruit?"
Smoker questioned with a look of disbelief:
"Where are these like knights' abilities?"
"That stealth was enough before, and now it's even more..."
"Ahem..."
Galen explained in a serious way
"As the saying goes: the shape of a soldier, avoid the real and become virtual."
"Stealth and stand-in are the knight's use of the art of war!"
"As for just now..."
Galen pondered for a moment, and finally organized his words:
"The candlelight is silent, and the moths come naturally."
"They came to cut me so crazy..."
"Maybe it's because I'm so good."
