Chapter 44: Illusion
Smack-
Fortunately, Zhao Xin's state was already a little chaotic at this time, this punch was useless for too much force, and with a muffled sound, the unlucky soldier finally stopped after a few turns, and by the way, he also knocked over a few soldiers standing aside.
"Hey! What happened? Did these guys do it? After noticing the movement here, the soldiers from other places looked here, although there was still a distance of several meters between the two sides, but because there were so many people here, it was impossible to see what was going on here, and the soldiers standing a little farther away got only one message: their own people had been beaten.
"Calm down! We absolutely didn't do anything just now, and your people can testify as well, and now ...... What the? What's going on there? β
Everyone here can see it very clearly, just now no one acted without permission, it was completely the soldier who flew out "by himself", although the conflict between the two sides is nothing new, but they were not stupid enough to act for such an obvious provocation, but before the misunderstanding here could be explained clearly, in the distance, the noise of the conflict sounded again, this time, the person who was knocked to the ground turned into a mercenary, and he sat on the ground with a confused face and covered his beaten face, I didn't react to what happened for a long time.
"(Well done)."
There is no doubt that all this was done by Zhao Xin, who was in a state of invisibility, and if both sides tried to exercise restraint {δΈ+ζ¬}Read} the novel ybdu, then the best way to provoke trouble is to use misunderstandings, in the tense and complex environment of the scene, it is impossible for both sides to grasp what is happening in all locations at once, and misunderstandings have always been the simplest reason for conflicts.
Zhao Xin's strategy was very successful, at this moment, it only took a few sparks between the two sides to trigger an explosion, but at this time, he was not happy about his success, in fact, his eyes were already a different scene.
This feeling is almost exactly the same as when he was at the border of Noxus five years ago, Zhao Xin seems to feel that he is sinking, but the feeling coming from his body really tells him that he is still standing in place, from just now, he is almost simply listening to the arrangement of the voice in his head, why do you do this? Why...... He didn't know, he just felt that there was nothing wrong with doing so.
β¦β¦
Where is it......
The scene in front of me is getting more and more blurred, but at the same time, the constantly changing colors are forming new patterns, the two groups of people fighting each other in front of them seem to have changed, the weapons in their hands have also changed into wooden sticks and iron forks, and the background has also shifted from the gloomy and mysterious sewers to the ground, but the ground does not seem to be as beautiful as imagined, the black smoke almost obscures the original color of the sun, and there seems to be a cry in the shouting of killing, is this the sound that the two armies should have when they fight...... As the picture gradually became clear again, the world in which Zhao Xin was located ...... Or rather, the illusionary world in which he was immersed began to show its true face.
This is a farmstead of the noxians on the edge, or it used to be a farmstead, because it has almost been burned down for the most part, and the area around the farmhouse is full of robbers with weapons and slashing at will, and the farmers are barely fighting them with the tools they usually use, and under the cover of the men, the women and the children hide in a barn, and after closing the door, the men gather together to block the way of the robbers, The robbers would not have known that there was a hidden secret door at the back of the barn, and the men seemed to be intent on using their lives to cover their family's escape.
This...... Where exactly is this? Although he didn't know the answer to this question, Zhao Xin immediately tried to stop the group, but when his fist hit the face of a robber next to him, this person ...... Or should it be said that this illusion was not affected in any way, and Zhao Xin's fist passed through his body like this, and this illusion was still running forward.
"Hey...... Friend...... Do you want to show me something? After realizing that everything here was just an illusion, Zhao Xin began to try to ask out loud to the only explanation he could think of, phantom type magic had never worked on Zhao Xin, with the protection of a magical friend in his body, all illusions were ridiculous in front of his eyes.
There was no response, and today, this friend who had never been proven to exist gave him too many surprises, and no matter how Zhao Xin shouted, the illusion in front of him showed no sign of disappearing at all.
The picture returns to this group of desperate men, the robbers surrounding them do not rush immediately, in front of them, many brothers have fallen to the ground, and in the face of desperate situations, people always burst out with incredible power, and this power is especially strong when trying to protect something.
"Open the barn, we just need the food inside, and as long as you hand over these things, I will keep the rest of you and your family safe."
The man on a strange horse that had been mutated by magic seemed to be the leader of the bandits, and after noticing that his losses had been significant, he decisively chose to try to achieve his goal in a more modest way.
"Do you think we're going to believe your lies? If the food is given to you, what will we do in the coming days? The army of Noxus will soon find out what is going on, you have already stolen a lot of things, and we will not give you the rest! β
Cut...... This bunch of guys is really ...... The man was right, the bandit leader had never wanted to keep them safe from the beginning, but as he said, this place was not far from Noxus, and the smoke would soon attract the defenders here, and the appearance of this group of people would definitely fight until the last moment, if the brothers really rushed forward, was it really worth the huge price......
"Whew...... Whew......"
At this moment, a man suddenly broke into this dangerous place, his outfit looked like no more than an ordinary marginal farmer, but his whole body was covered in blood, he covered the largest wound on his shoulder with one hand, and walked towards it step by step and without fear.
This man ...... When he saw his face, Zhao Xin was stunned, and then, his body couldn't help trembling, although the scene in his memory had long since become unreal because of the lame treatment at that time, but this man's face Zhao Xin would never admit that he was wrong-
That's his own father, the unquestioned father.
"Hey......! You okay? How's it going? β
After seeing Zhao Xin's father, the eyes of the men seemed to rekindle the light of hope, and the father smiled reluctantly, now he had lost a little too much blood, but he still insisted on standing up straight, and deliberately shouted to the robber commander as loud as he could, "Those people...... I've killed them all, you...... Why don't you get out of here? β
"What...... What the? The robber leader's eyes widened instantly, and he whistled vigorously to try to make contact with the men, but as his father had said, there was no response.
"Damn...... You...... How dare you kill so many of my brothers, ...... Are you really not afraid of being killed by me? Although he was angry, the bandit commander also retreated a little at this time, the man in front of him really seems to have some strength, should he let his subordinates kill him? Or is it ......
"...... kill so many of your brothers? Ha...... Truly...... Those people are your brothers, but you can figure it out to me, whose brothers are these people you killed? β
β¦β¦
This...... Is this what happened five years ago on the farm where I lived? At this moment, Zhao Xin's eyes did not have anger towards the robbers, nor reverence for his father, his eyes were just kept on his father's body, or to be precise, on his hands.
The enlightenment teacher of his marksmanship is his father, Zhao Xin has always believed in this in his heart, but in the picture in front of him, he hesitated a little.
In the vision, which I don't know who showed him, my father was not holding a spear or anything like that, but a somewhat rough homemade heavy sword.
Call......!
At this time, a strong gust of unreal wind blew away the picture in front of him, as if waking up from a dream, the picture in front of Zhao Xin's eyes changed back to the gloomy and mysterious sewer, time did not seem to have passed for a long time, the two sides were still in a state of imminent battle, Zhao Xin, who returned to the real from the illusion, looked at the picture in front of him with some blankness, and the voice that kept whispering in his head disappeared, replaced by ......
"What are you doing here?"
At the corner of the street, an old voice suddenly came, and in front of everyone's eyes, an old man in a purple silk robe appeared in front of everyone, his eyes were deep and wise, and it was impossible to guess what he was thinking......
"Card ...... Mr. Canin......! I...... We just ......"
"It's nothing, you're just being tricked, that's all."
That's right, the person who appeared here was none other than the former Strategist Commander Kanin, and he looked at the group of people who had almost started fighting, not only the soldiers of Noxus, but even the mercenaries of the Black Rose stopped because of his presence.
"Alright, it's time to stop this farce, all the Noxian soldiers, now all go back to your barracks and stand by, I don't think your commander will have any objections to my orders, friends of Black Rose, please take me down, this trouble caused by us should also be solved by us."
With that, he turned his head seemingly casually and smiled at some empty spot.
