Chapter 212: Blood Writing
The battlefield was full of killings, and in the melee between the two armies, except for the battle between Estes and Lagarde and Cardina, no one dared to approach, in the other direction, Estes's deputy general Liva was leading several ten thousand cavalry commanders and several tribal leaders, including the king of the desert, Gregor, to fight together, and the strength of the two sides was similar, and it was impossible to tell the winner for a while.
This is just a sudden encounter, naturally it is impossible to gather all the living forces, not to mention the situation on Grego's side, Black Pupil and Porus, who are also involved in this western war, are staying in the base camp of the crusading army under the order of Estes, and there is probably no news about the current conflict.
It is worth mentioning that Daidara, who is also one of the original "Three Orcs", this battle maniac has been killed in battle, he was killed on the spot by an enemy envoy named Lagarde in a battle more than a month ago.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this incident that Estes seemed to be enraged, and decided to abandon the fortress of Changge and directly lead her demon army into the endless desert.
But Liva, who knew Estes very well, knew that Estes had long had the idea of leading his army deep into the endless desert, but the order of the imperial capital was to use the Changge Fortress as a base to take a steady offensive to defeat the Western alien peoples, such an order made Estes feel a little constrained, and Daidara's accidental death in battle could be regarded as providing a just right reason.
The thoughts of those high-level leaders in the imperial capital are actually not difficult to understand, after all, the endless desert is an unknown land, and the imperial army does not occupy a favorable position there, even if it is led by Estes himself, it is difficult to say that nothing will happen during the march and battle.
Therefore, instead of risking the complete collapse of the western front, it is better to hold on to the fortress and try to stabilize the current situation of the empire as a priority.
Western alien nations are indeed a major threat, but for the current empire, the most dangerous thing is the revolutionary army that has already been on the verge of the water pass, so it is not appropriate to be radical at this time, but to seek the word "stability".
Estes is naturally extremely dissatisfied with this, but she is not good at disobeying the orders of the imperial capital, not that she is worried about causing dissatisfaction among those politicians, for these people, Estes has always lacked good feelings, where will her opinions be considered?
In the past, Estes might still act according to his own wishes without any scruples, anyway, as long as he can win the war, all the blame will turn into a drizzle and be easily suppressed.
However, now that Estes has a new identity, the issues he thinks about and his stance have changed dramatically.
As the fiancée that Javier admitted, the concern in her heart is naturally Javier's attitude towards this matter, it is easy to disobey the orders above, but if Javier is angry because of this, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses.
This matter is actually big or small, and even if it happens, it shouldn't affect the relationship between the two of them, but Estes seems to be very distressed about this for a while, and finally found an excuse that he thinks is reasonable before sending troops to the west.
And in the almost a month of Estes's westward expedition, the Western alien peoples have been using their knowledge of the endless desert terrain to try their best to fight and entangle with Estes's army, similar to the current large-scale conflict with tens of thousands of people, which is the first time since Estes's westward expedition.
For victory, Estes has always had a far more than ordinary obsession, and will definitely hold it firmly in his hands, as for the little stubborn resistance encountered in the process, it is only a little aftermath at best.
"What's the matter, don't you have the guts to attack anymore? Or is it ...... Are you discussing your last words? ”
In the center of the battle formation, Estes smiled softly, his eyes were full of banter and pleasure, and he looked at the two opposite people with a prey-like gaze, and then said slowly: "Well, since you don't come, then I'll go." ”
Hearing the wind whistling by, Estes's figure was already like a rising cheetah and slaughtered Lagarde and Cardina, and the distance of more than thirty meters was only an instant for a powerhouse of her level.
Cardina's eyes turned red when she saw this, and she tore open her throat and shouted, the strengthening of the Beast Emperor's tool brought her incomparably full strength, and her tense body rushed towards the direction of Estes like a hungry wolf, her claws dancing wildly in the wind, and the momentum that sparked even caused a small area of sand and dust to storm around her.
"Bell!"
The two approached in an instant, claws and blades clashing in the air several times, but soon Cardina was stabilized by Estes, and after a few more rounds, her whole body flew upside down ten meters away under a huge bombardment.
From the onlooker's point of view, it's like Cardina rushing forward regardless of the wheel, only to be mercilessly blasted back by an invisible sledgehammer.
And at this moment when Cardina stopped Estes, Lagarde had quickly taken off the black gloves on his left hand, and then used his cane sword to cut two notches on his outstretched index and middle fingers, and the bright red liquid suddenly flowed out.
I saw Lagarde's expression solemn, his blood-stained fingers raised in front of him, and then silently wrote a few times in the air, the blood seemed to be attracted by a mysterious power, and it was strangely suspended in the air, and with Lagarde's writing, it condensed into an ancient text of unknown meaning in the air.
Immediately afterward, Lagarde whispered: "Flames, burn our enemy." ”
Then he stretched out his hand and pointed at the blood-colored text hanging in front of him, the blood light suddenly skyrocketed, and then quickly extinguished, the moment the light dimmed, the blood-colored text turned into a powerful flame and rushed towards Estes, the violent momentum was like the breath of a dragon.
When the flames erupted, it was the moment when Estes punched Cardina away, and the timing was just right, and the attack was even more uncomfortable.
But this kind of attack can only surprise Estes at most, but seeing her figure shake, she directly dodged this fierce flame jet, and her long ice blue hair flew in the wind.
Lagarde's expression remained unchanged, and another blood-colored text was written, and then quickly clicked, accompanied by a whisper like a spell like "Wind, control my body", Lagarde touched the ground on her toes, and the whole person was driven by a gust of wind to instantly circle behind Estes.
The fingers of his left hand wrote again, and the blood-colored light filled his eyes, dazzlingly bright.
"Bondage."
After the whisper fell, several vines grew on the sand under Estes's feet as if it were contrary to natural common sense, and Estes was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then he was tightly wrapped around his ankles by these verdant and thick vines, unable to move for a while.
"Thunder, cling to my sword!"
The last of the blood flashed out, and then a sharp cold light rose into the sky, and the power of the thunder on it was wrapped like a dragon snake, and the extremely destructive sword pressure tore through the air in its path, and slashed straight at the top of Estes's head under Lagarde's control.
Emperor's Tool, Senluo Vientiane Blood Text.
Using blood as a medium, coupled with the sacred ancient words as a bridge of communication, the magical emperor tool that can trigger all kinds of incredible phenomena is the ultimate hole card that Lagarde has the confidence to fight against Estes.
In the next moment, the cane sword slashed under the increase of the power of thunder, and Estes finally frowned slightly, and held her left hand upward, and at the same time, a solid ice shield also took shape in her hand in an instant, directly hitting the sword of thunder punishment that fell from the sky.
With a bang, the ice shield temporarily blocked the slash of the Thunder Punishment Sword, but the time that could be bought was only a few seconds, and Estes took the opportunity to swing the Western sword in her right hand, cutting off all the vines wrapped around her legs, and then the ice shield shattered, and Estes also fell backwards, with the help of this oncoming momentum, he retreated sharply backwards, and escaped from Lagarde's slashing range.
"Drink!!"
Suddenly there was a shout from behind, and Estes grabbed her back without looking back, and immediately grabbed Cardina's wrist, dissolving the punch she threw with all her might, and at the same time violently destroying the emperor's tool, freezing most of her body in Cardina's screams.
Looking at Cardina's beautiful face, which had become distorted by pain, Estes sneered, threw her from behind in front of him with a one-handed throw, and then spun up and kicked out, and Cardina, who flew upside down like a cannonball, immediately collided with Lagarde, who hurried over.
"It's interesting, but it's not enough......"
Estes was in a certain shape, her delicate chin was slightly raised, and her hair fluttered, revealing her cold and unparalleled face, as well as that faint smile that was both charming and dangerous.
As she spoke, she held the Western sword in one hand and raised the other hand to the sky, obviously it was a hot and dry desert area, but the temperature around her seemed to have dropped by more than 20 degrees suddenly, making the enemy and enemy soldiers within a kilometer around her shiver.
Instantly, dense and innumerable sharp ice spikes spread out in the sky like a formation of ten thousand armies, and the sharp edges pointed at none other than Lagarde and Cardina!
"Push harder, fight with all your might...... Otherwise, you're going to die a terrible death......"
With a sneer, Estes swung down with one hand, and the murderous ice spikes in the sky fell like a sudden rainstorm, completely enveloping the two people below in the blink of an eye.
The sound of killing on the battlefield is still there, the breath of death is spreading every moment, and the cheapness of life is vividly displayed in this place.
