Ye Qi, who originally wanted to upgrade the level of the "broken step" in the skill bar in order to obtain higher dexterity and perception attribute bonuses, finally decided to make himself more effective offensive means when facing dark creatures in the form of Shadow Demon and Shadow Minions.
Before leaving the forest where the Order Crystal was located and heading to Baal City, he passed by the invisible and untouchable Order Crystal of the Aborigines, and exchanged for this Demonic Crystal Ball that he had already taken a fancy to some time ago.
However, as Ye Qi took out this magic crystal ball from his storage space, and used his very good spiritual power to activate it, making it slowly rotate around the air more than a meter away from his body under the complicated gaze of the people around him, and the mind control test-fired two magic missiles, killing a shadow servant in the distant shadows on the spot.
This team of hundreds traveled through the wilderness in darkness for more than two hours, and on the way to the south gate of Baal City, since they never encountered a single shadow demon again!
During this period, it was Chen Dayuan and Wang Anyi who released the Flame Slash Axe Flame Cutting Skill, killing a few shadow servants who were in the darkness and waving their teeth and claws at people within a distance of the light of the fluorescent torches held by the team.
Ye Qi, who was originally ready to go to Baal City, was ready for a big battle like everyone in the team, and at this time, standing in front of the slowly opening south gate of Baal City, he couldn't help but look at the dark field behind him with some doubts.
[What's the situation, what is this?] 】
Well, obviously I didn't know that it was the Ranger Hank and his party, Ye Qi, who temporarily attracted the attention of the nearby shadow demons, and waved his hand to the people behind him after seeing that the south gate of Bal City, which was guarded by the flame of order, opened a gap for the two of them to walk through.
With the newcomers behind him and the townspeople of Clear Water Town, they slowly entered the city, and asked Mike Langdon, who was ushering in front, about the location of the night watchmen of Black Rock Fort in the city at this time.
Ye Qi was under the surprised gaze of Mike Langdon, Jim's brother, after taking back the magic crystal ball floating around him and recovering his savings space. It was with Wang Anyi, Chen Dayuan and the two of them behind him, and the carriage equipped with the metal armor of the Shadow Demon Decapitation Swordsman and the remaining fluorescent torches, plus the remaining more than a dozen newcomers, under the words of gratitude from the townspeople of Qingshui Town, they walked towards the aristocratic cemetery in the east of the city, that is, the temporary gathering place of the night vigil of Black Rock Fort.
Walking through the streets where people are still coming and going, and there is no uneasiness on the faces of the people they meet, listening to Wang Anyi behind him, explain to the doubtful newcomers that there is a fire of order to protect Bal City, which can block dark or chaotic creatures from entering the city, this is not a very correct explanation.
Obviously, he didn't want them to enter Baal City, and in this kind of disaster of shadow demon transit, Ye Qi, who relaxed his vigilance, just opened his mouth without looking back and corrected: "If you think that it is absolutely safe to enter Baal City, which is guarded by the fire of order, it is a big mistake." The function of the ignited flame of order is to weaken the power of dark and chaotic creatures that enter the guardian range, not to block their access. ”
Although, like the shadow minions, this low-end dark creature will be directly dissolved by the positive energy emitted by the flame of order when it enters the "lighting range" of the flame of order. However, for those Shadow Demons who had at least the strength of the Black Iron Class, this flame of order in Baal City could only weaken their own strength by three to forty percent. ”
"And even if you face the worst Shadow Demon Warriors whose strength is among the Shadow Demons, after being weakened by forty percent of their strength, they are enough to be fatal to you!"
Knowing Ye Qi's last sentence, Chen Xin, who was obviously talking to himself and others, opened his mouth and asked, "But Wang Anyi didn't say ......"
Wang Anyi, who obviously didn't mind Ye Qi's denial of what he had just said, just didn't wait for Chen Xin to finish speaking, and directly interrupted: "Don't listen to what I just said, I don't have time to go to the library of Black Rock Fort every day like Ye Qi to learn all kinds of knowledge about Aya's world." ”
"This ......"
Faced with Chen Xin's appearance of wanting to say more, Chen Dayuan, who used to look at a leader who was full of posture and was usually unhappy with the fat man who was usually delicious and lazy, directly interrupted: "This fart, this, when we are not by your side, be smarter, don't be at that time, I don't know how I died." ”
And under Chen Dayuan's unceremonious interruption, Chen Xin, who did not take the above words as a reminder like other newcomers, turned dark again.
Ten minutes later, under the watchful eyes of the reservists on the periphery, Ye Qi and the others came to this noble cemetery in the east of Bal City.
Commander Kress, who had placed a large number of civilians in the family quarters and was discussing something with a few official night watchmen of Fort Black Rock, finally relented as his affairs officer Aaron hurried to the contents of the report.
After listening to the report of the young man in front of him, who was favored by the older generation of the night watch, on what happened along the way, Jonathan, who was standing behind Commander Kress and was familiar with the former, stepped forward.
Although he already knew in his heart that there was no hope, Jonathan still asked a little unwillingly: "Ye Qi, did you meet the Ranger team led by Hank on the way here?" ”
Ye Qi, who obviously didn't meet the Ranger team led by Hank Harold on the road, could only shake his head at this.
Looking at the lost emotions in the eyes of Commander Cress, Jonathan and others when they got this "answer" from themselves. At this time, all Ye Qi could do was to step forward and pat Jonathan's shoulder, and he, who had not been added to the facial paralysis during the period, turned away from this topic that made Shinobi feel heavy and asked, "What about Captain Ford?" ”
"He took the others to deliver the news to the surrounding towns."
Jonathan, who answered like this, continued to speak: "Let's go, I'll take you to Huang Wenbo and them." ”
In the middle of the ring, Ye Qi and the others and Huang Wenbo, the three special soldiers who had been training in Black Rock Fort at the time of the incident, were together in this dim aristocratic cemetery.
Looking at the crowd, there were two women with quivers full of feather arrows hanging from their waists, and they were holding a recurve bow all the time, which looked very conspicuous.
Obviously, for Su Ruoxuan and Zhuo Nan, at this time, they still remember their own advice, not to mention that they can protect themselves with bows and arrows. But at least Ye Qi, who had made preparations and put his mentality in a correct position, expressed his satisfaction, and showed a smile to the two women who had already seen him and others coming, and ran forward.
And with Su Ruoxuan, who was shining with tears in the corners of her eyes, she made up for the sudden move in her arms.
But it made Ye Qi, who had not noticed this girl's emotional problems in the past, couldn't help but be stunned at this time.
However, soon, he looked at Zhuo Nan, who was also standing in front of him, with his eyes a little red. Only then did he realize that he was unconsciously becoming the two women in front of him, and Ye Qi, who was the only one to rely on in the Aya world, beckoned to Zhuo Nan in front of him, who was obviously still caring about something in his heart.
As for whether his actions will attract criticism for himself, to be honest, Ye Qi obviously doesn't really care.
………………
On the other side, he had just signaled his subordinates beside him, a soldier from the garrison, to go down to the city tower and inform the guards at the city gate to open the city gate for Ye Qi and his party.
At this time, when he came to the castle tower again, and the soldiers of the garrison beside him stood by a brazier, looking at the field outside the city that was plunged into darkness, but at this time, it was as if he had found something in the distance from the darkness.
Mike, who thought he was dazzled, raised his right hand with a non-slip leather glove and rubbed his eyes.
However, in the next moment, in the darkness again, Mike, who saw a burst of arc light that seemed to be the swing of a sharp sword, shouted and warned the soldiers of the garrison on the castle tower: "Ahead! Archers ready!! ”
Under Mike's shout, because of the Shadow Demon crossing incident, he was specially arranged to join the two squads of the night duty team on the city tower, and a full forty-eight well-trained archers raised their longbows one after another, and bent their bows and arrows in front of the darkness that was still in the dark.
And the remaining twenty-three members of the team that Mike has been leading also clenched their weapons at this time.
"Buzz!!"
With the sharp whistling of the blade as it slashed through the air, another arc of light flashed from the darkness.
However, a creepy, unusually sharp roar also reached the ears of the soldiers on the castle tower who noticed the above scene.
Obviously, it was at this time that they understood that someone in the dark, killing the Shadow Demon or the Shadow Servant soldiers, was to look at each other with a look of confusion.
After all, there was a dark field in the distance, and there was not the slightest light that would prevent the shadow minions from crossing the line.
The darkness seemed to retreat to both sides under an invisible momentum, and a female knight dressed in fine body armor and a much more slender figure than a man walked out of the darkness slowly with a sword.
