Chapter Ninety-Five: Victory and Reflection
In terms of swordsmanship and martial arts, if Green wants to talk about it, it must be that he has cultivated swordsmanship more exquisitely, but if he wants to choose the ability he relies on the most, fighting will always be the first combat technique in his heart.
It was what could be called freewheeling combat.
The coordination of tendons, bones and muscles, the twisting is comprehensive, and the instantaneous force is ...... In addition to the daily training of swordsmanship during the month-long journey, most of his time was spent in the process of reminiscing and familiarizing himself with fighting skills.
At the last moment when the Sword of Segret activated, Green suddenly let go of his hand and let the Flame Shadow shoot out, leaping high with his legs, and suddenly falling at the moment when the attention of the elite pretender was all attracted by the Flame Shadow.
"Drink—"
In the roar, the fists that fell from the sky were clenched into cannons, and the castration smashed heavily on the old man's head!
Hmmm――
The old man's head paused, and he reacted quickly to remove the bandage, trying to make Grimm unsteady and sink into it. But with a punch, Green quickly retreated, opened a safe distance from the old man, and couldn't help but shake his hand when he looked at the pretender whose entire body was rolled up from yellowed old cloth and could adjust his form at any time. Obviously it's just an ordinary bandage style, but it feels like hitting an iron plate, but fortunately, the outside of the palm is protected by small thenar muscle groups, otherwise you might have hurt your bones just now.
"Yes...... Evil ......"
Green's attack was not without any effect, and the bandage above the old man's neck spun around for about three seconds before recondensing into the shape of a skull. The young man smiled secretly, sure enough, this guy's defense is not omnipotent.
So next......
Green's eyes moved. He leaned forward. Suddenly taking a step forward to the left, the old man immediately turned his hands around with his hammer. I didn't think that Green's left leg didn't have any strength at all, and his toes suddenly retracted, and his body shot towards the right side of the old man like a cannonball!
Scammed!
The leader of the pretenders was slightly annoyed, and hurriedly withdrew his fist, but it was still halfway through the movement, and it was stunned to realize that the figure of the young man was approaching.
How could it be so fast!?
The old man, who was taken aback, finally did not have time to dissolve the bandages that made up the skull, under the huge acceleration impact brought by the instantaneous step. He was punched in the side of the face by Green and flew out in the air.
But that's not all.
"You give me - come back!"
The navigation arrow in his hand was thrown out accurately, no more than no more, no less, just falling on the old man's landing point, and the training along the way finally paid off - the elite pretender had just landed and couldn't even adjust any form, and the whole person flew upside down in front of Grimm uncontrollably, and the young man who had been waiting for him smashed out with his fists, and the cannon was coming again!
Two huge fists slammed into the old man's chest, and the elite pretender, who was stunned by a series of blows, looked like a tattered sandbag. Flying to the ground, it naturally bounced up and down, and it took several turns to wake up, and the two fists quickly unraveled like convulsions, and stacked into two straight and hard straight into the ground. Kankan stopped.
The old man, whose body was twisted, turned his head sharply and stared at Green with one eye.
There were two thuds, and bandages as sharp as blades suddenly shot out from the ground. Surprised, Green's body fell backwards at a rapid pace, and a standard iron plate bridge and bandages passed by.
"Ahh Mr. Green! ”
Although the first blow missed, the wolf Bèi when Green dodged was obvious to all. The old man naturally refused to let go of the advantage, the sharp bandages stabbed out layer by layer like a vein rock protrusion, the young man's right hand supported the ground, and the body that fell like an iron plate was immediately thrown out, and he quickly moved to dodge after landing, almost the front foot just evacuated, and the bandages behind him flew out, and the dangerous situation frightened Lilith in the back and exclaimed.
Green didn't have time to be distracted, a bandage burst out of the ground and pierced his head like a spear, the boy gritted his teeth to dodge left and right, and then quickly flipped backwards a few times in a row, dodging the rapid pursuit of the other bandage.
Damn tentacle monsters, is it endless......
Green finally landed on the ground, one foot on the hilt of the Flame Shadow Sword on the ground, the flame dragon roared angrily and pounced on the bandage that was chasing him, and the other bypassed the flames and went straight to Green, but at this moment, Green's right hand shook secretly, and it went straight to the blade-like bandage!
"Look for death!"
The old man let out a gloomy smile, and was about to appreciate the scene of removing Green's right hand, but to his surprise, Green's right fist was actually withstood by the bandage, and no one could make an inch!
"Think I'm so stupid?"
Green smiled slyly, withdrew his hand and quickly rushed towards the old man. The elite pretender hurriedly tried to withdraw his arm, but was shocked to find that he could not move, and when he looked closely, there was a faint flash of electric light on the bandage - electric shock paralysis!
A Hidden Blade inlaid with an electric stun needle!
Thanks to the ingenious Kunali Broken Sword Guard in his heart, Green stepped on his feet for an instant, and went straight to the old man's body like lightning, and suddenly paused before he reacted to withdraw the shape of the attack part, his left foot fell to the ground fiercely, and the inertia of his body rushed into the muscles of the upper arms of half of his body.
Martial arts? Iron Mountain!
All the momentum released from the contact point of "Boom ......" instantly swept through the old man's whole body like an electric current, and he flew out upside down without saying a word. Green castrated unabated, as soon as his left leg loosened and the muscles of his right leg were about to pursue, several pretenders lying on the ground like dead things suddenly jumped up and completely blocked the route from the front and pounced on Green!
Stop me from pursuing?
Green's eyes froze.
Idiot.
The trend of rushing forward suddenly retracted, Green's right foot changed from stepping to twisting, and his left leg was thrown straight up, kicking out several feet like ghosts, like a series of shadows and torrential rain!
Short-range and rapid kicks, like a razor that suddenly collapses, the perfect combination of speed and power is no less than Flame Shadow's several slashes.
The disguisers who blocked the sword for the leader collapsed into a sky of bandages scattered all over the ground, but there was no mercy in the old man's eyes, it flew upside down and smashed into a thatched house, taking advantage of the time that his subordinates had to quickly adjust its shape, just like a hedgehog incarnated in bandages, rushing out like a thorn ball. The powerful impact force directly destroyed the entire thatched house, and vowed to pierce Green on the spot!
But his movements were abruptly interrupted.
It's not because I saw the death of my men. Nor is it that it wants to change tactics, and it is not the intention of the elite pretenders to be forced to stop. But it doesn't stop - just as it rushed out of the thatched house, bringing the sky full of thatch, a knife shadow faster than lightning suddenly came, and when the old man took the first step, cut off a wisp of withered yellow thatch above its head, as if activating some kind of forbidden switch, pressing the wrists on the handle of the knife twisted extremely fast, and the black light knife shadow that cycled left and right was dizzying, until the blade that gave people the illusion of darkness picked up an arc full of murderous intent. In the old man's abdomen, there was no sluggish dull sweep.
Out of the knife, put away the knife, turn around, return to the team, the action is done in one go. Assesis stood expressionlessly in front of the Kunali Broken Sword Guard, as if everything that had just happened was a hallucination.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
With a thud, half of the elite pretender's body slipped from its abdomen and fell to the ground at the same time as the lower half of its body, which had lost control. The sound alarmed the people who had just woken up from a dream.
"Hmph, what an idiot, I said I wanted to do it myself, when did I say I wanted to go it alone?"
Green picked up the Flame Shadow Sword. Wiped off the dust and put the sword back into its sheath, and glanced coldly at the elite pretender, this guy was blind to one eye. His eyes were stiff, and he seemed to be in disbelief that he had died like this. Return to nothingness.
"Pretty good knife technique." Green withdrew his gaze and walked back into the line in admiration to Assesses.
Commander Kunali bowed slightly. Thank you to Green for the compliment. There was still an indifferent look on his face, killing the elite pretender was just Green's order, if it was him to do it, the battle formation of the Broken Sword Guards was the most proud tactic.
"Your Highness, word games are not fun." Albert was a little helpless, Green's hands and words were inconsistent, it really gave him a headache, "Besides, if Your Highness and Assesis have already colluded, please tell me in advance, I'm very worried, so I'm simply excluded by you." ”
Green smiled insincerely, "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll tell you next time." ”
"This kind of thing should not have a good ...... next time," Albert muttered quietly.
Wake up the stunned Lilith, and the dumbfounded aristocratic private soldier, and the group continues to move forward, searching for the remaining pretenders. Although the village was restless, and many villagers were injured when the Broken Sword Guardian moved, Green did not have much apology in his heart. This is not a calamity, it is impossible for the pretenders to lurk in the border villages for a day or two, such a strange species, living with humans for many years, if there is no suspicion, it is absolutely a lie, the villagers hide and do not report, it is difficult to guarantee that they want to rely on these alien species to fight against the lord of Qi Shangde, maybe after the outbreak of war, these pretenders will instigate these poor villagers to attack Qi Shangde, and turn their heads, these peasants who are cowering on weekdays, will inevitably show the most hideous side, the most ruthless hand on lords, nobles, merchants and even ordinary people. This is not impossible, you don't see how many terrible things were done by the stupid and blindly obedient masses in the Battle of the Bastille, and many more joined the "liberation army" for their own selfish desires, inflicted poisonous hands on neutral or innocent people, and lost their rationality and even humanity in order to vent their anger. Although he had always lacked a good impression of the aristocracy, he was all the more disgusted by those who knew only their desires and did not care whether they were right or not.
"Your Highness, a total of sixteen fugitives have been captured."
Soon, the group made their way through the small village, and at the other end of the round with the Broken Sword Guard, Assesis gathered the statistics and returned to report to Green. He walked over and looked around, and finally determined that seven of them were pretenders, and the Kunali Broken Sword Guard immediately took action, and sure enough, the heavy axe fell and the head was gone, and all of them showed their original form under the bandage.
At this point, the pretenders in the border villages were cleared,
"Let them go, and appease them a little." Green motioned for Assesis to release the other villagers, and when she heard his words, Lilith immediately ran over and wanted to participate in it, and Green intended to establish an amiable figure who could communicate with the villagers, so as to reverse some of the image, so he simply took out some copper coins and handed them to Lilith and let her do it. Anyway, the pretender is dead, and there is a Broken Sword Guard by her side to protect her, so there is no need to worry about her being in danger.
"Your Highness, Count Tsishand, what you are going to do now. How? ”
Sent Lilith away, Green was about to check the system. Albert walked over and asked in a low voice as he looked at the somewhat bewildered aristocratic private soldier not far away.
"Qi Shangde?" Green blinked. Originally, his intentions were simple, Qi Shangde was of strategic importance to him, and he could not be at ease if it was in the hands of a greedy and stupid nobleman, so the best way was to take it from the other party, but the actions of these nobles' private soldiers made him change his opinion of the rumored earl. What he saw was the handling of dangerous situations by the nobles' private soldiers, though it was too reckless in their practice, and if the information was wrong, they would be tantamount to murdering innocent people, and if Green had not arrived. It may have killed himself, but his original intention was to protect the territory, which was rare in an era when noble servants were generally bullying.
"If you have a chance to meet me, I'm a little curious about this Count of Zishand."
The Black Mage nodded, in fact, he also meant this, after encircling and suppressing the pretenders in the village, the young Hu Cong Mage soon realized that this place was not as safe as he imagined, rather than setting up a kingdom magnate with a lot of troops as an enemy. It's better to make a friend, even if this guy is not a good thing, as long as it can be within the scope of His Highness Green's bearing, it is good to conclude an alliance.
Green opens the system log. I took a look at the tasks that have changed. With a total of three-quarters of the current level gained in this battle, fourteen pretenders and one leader were eliminated, and the Holy Emissary's vocation (1/3) was completed. He has also cashed out the mission reward, and now it remains on the mission screen for the next stage.
Mission Name: The Vocation of the Holy Messenger (2/3)
Task Type: Achievement Mission
Requirements: In the main and secondary planes of the world of Knodia. Kill 50 Pretenders [Completion (7/50)]; 3 pretenders? Elite [Completion (1/3)]
Reward: Upgrade any primary attribute by one level
[When they found out that I was Yadei Matsu, I cut off their heads]
"A whole level up? It's really generous......"
The new reward is equivalent to three energy levels. I couldn't help but make Green mumble to himself, and Albert heard it next to him, and asked suspiciously, "Your Highness?" ”
"Oh, I mean, I'm confused as to why these imtenders are here." Green shook his senses and said to his servant, "You should also know that after the Holy Emperor's trial, the number of pretenders has plummeted, usually they are scattered all over the world, plus the number is already scarce, most of the people in Cabez may not have seen the pretender in their lives, but in a border village in Rodland, there are more than a dozen of them, and there is even a leader Cun Zài, isn't it suspicious?" ”
"Such a remote village, which is not too noticeable, is indeed a good place for them to hide, but as you said, the accumulation of a large number of impostors is indeed unsettling." Albert pondered for a moment, and suddenly had an idea, "By the way, Your Highness, do you think it's because of something special about this village or Qi Shangde?" ”
Special?
Green thought for a moment, if there is a "special" that can attract the pretender, it must have something to do with chaos, and such places are rare, unless......
"There's an ancient battlefield around here?"
"There's an ancient battlefield around here!"
The two of them spoke in unison, and the voice was so loud that even Assesis who was arranging work on the side looked sideways.
Green hurriedly suppressed his voice, "If it's really an ancient battlefield, it will be good and bad for us, Al, maybe we need to explore the future territory - and the surrounding area. ”
The Black Wizard nodded, "I also agree with your point of view, for now, the ancient battlefield is a hidden danger for us, and we can take precautions as soon as possible if we detect it as soon as possible, but it's a pity that my current ability is still sealed, and the scope of the wizard's eye is limited, so I'm afraid I can't help in this matter." ”
The young man thought for a while, and finally assured Albert, "It's better to take that stronghold first, I'm afraid that after so many years, I'm afraid that some demonic beasts may be entrenched, and when the territory issue is on the right track, I will start the second phase of the trial to try to help you recover as soon as possible, just because you are preparing for the territory outside, and you won't be delayed." ”
According to Master Hu Cong, the first stage of the trial is a test of the commander's ability, and the second stage of the trial is a personal trial, in which only Green can participate.
"But, Al, you have to beware, that we need a so-called mass base to build up our power, but I don't want people who have no knowledge or culture—I don't mean the peasant class, but unfortunately it is true that these people are even more lacking in the education they deserve. Although it is inevitably discriminatory to say this, people who lack a sense of discipline and discipline will only bring us trouble and turmoil in the end. Green carefully admonished his subordinates, and when it came to the last point, he let out a long sigh, "I have the heart to teach and cultivate them, starting from scratch is often more fulfilling, their sense of identity will be stronger, and they can play to greater potential when fighting, but it's a pity that time is running out." ”
Albert also nodded helplessly, time is indeed their biggest constraint.
However, the Black Wizard quickly became optimistic.
"In short, we still have almost half a year to go, and only you can pass the guò costume trial, and you will be able to solve it in a hurry."
Green glanced at Al, who was pretending to be relaxed, and rolled his eyes angrily, "If it was really that easy, wouldn't you have let me in a long time ago?" Besides, I've been in trouble since I started from my hometown, and many things have been delayed, so I don't know if Luna is testing me. ”
"Do you mean frequent battles?"
Green nodded.
"Oh, Your Highness really follows death wherever he goes." Albert deliberately dragged out a long note and smiled maliciously.
Wherever you go, die that is Conan!
Green sneered, then glanced at him and replied in a nonchalant manner.
"Then dare to ask who recommended the address to me where our territory is located??"
The young mage's smile froze, and he immediately shut his mouth. (To be continued......)
