Chapter 164: Collapsed Faith and New Faith
Looking at the Japanese players and NPCs around me who kept fleeing from the battle line, I gradually stopped the crazy slaughter of those people. Scaring away a few more people now will allow them to take more people with them, and as long as the Japanese players retreat, our goal will be achieved, so there's no need to chase after these enemies who have already started to escape. Of course, there are some special characters who still need to be taken care of, such as Onite Nobunaga.
Ghost Nobunaga was still directing the surrounding Japanese players to besiege me, but suddenly I found that those people began to ignore him and kept running back, and in a hurry, he also shot down a few, but with little effect, the surrounding Japanese players should still run, and there was no intention to stop at all.
Originally, Nobunaga was trying to stop the Japanese players who were fleeing, but when he was calling for the fleeing players, I suddenly came into view. At first, I was still far away from Onite Nobunaga when I was besieged by many Japanese players, but as those Japanese players began to flee, I was able to move towards Onite Nobunaga without any obstacles.
Suddenly I noticed that my eyes were actually focused on myself, and Onite Nobunaga immediately felt the cold hairs all over his body stand up. Now he didn't stop the people around him from escaping, but quickly turned over and jumped on a war horse beside him, and even his group of subordinates didn't have time to greet him, and began to run with the crowd.
Originally, in addition to the previous members of the Sakura group, there were also his diehards, and just now these people were busy helping Onite Nobunaga intercept the Japanese players who fled, and it was strange to suddenly find that Onite Nobunaga had escaped, but as soon as they turned their eyes, they immediately understood the reason for Onite Nobunaga's escape, so they didn't need anyone to order, and these guys immediately released their mounts and jumped up and chased after Onite Nobunaga.
In Zero, having a mount and not having a mount are two different things, and even if you're super mobile, with the exception of a few elite assassins or ninjas, very few people can actually match the speed of even the lowest level of horses on foot. Onite Nobunaga and their mounts naturally can't be the most rubbish war horses, so the speed is obviously much faster than the nearby Japanese players, and the surrounding Japanese players are running and being overtaken by the Onite Nobunaga and them.
When those people first started running, they were intercepted by Onite Nobunaga and his men, and when they saw that Onite Nobunaga was actually running faster than themselves, they all angrily pointed at Onite Nobunaga and cursed, but before they could curse, they saw a black shadow flash past them and rush towards Onite Nobunaga and their group. At first, the group of people were blown by the strong wind brought by the black shadow, but they opened their mouths and just wanted to scold, but they suddenly recognized the black shadow, and as a result, the curse and curse on their lips suddenly stuck in their mouths and never came out again.
Of course, this dark shadow behind me is me. Onite Nobunaga and the horses they ride are not bad, but they have two essential differences from me. First, although their mounts are not bad, they are only relative to ordinary mounts, and compared to Night Shadow, it is equivalent to the difference between a civilian sports car and a Formula 1 car. Maybe those luxurious civilian sports cars can be proud of any economy sedan, but compared to F1, it is an expensive toy, and there is no comparison at all. Second, even though Onite Nobunaga was riding a mount, it was only a ride. Ghost Nobunaga's profession is a foot combat class, although he can also use mounts, but that is just used as a means of transportation, one has no flexibility, and two has no speed bonus, purely relying on the power of the mount to run. But I'm different. After the establishment of the Temple of Chaos and Order, I had already transferred the Demon Swordsman class to the Knight of Chaos, and later promoted to the Knight of Judgment subclass. But whether it's a ruling knight or a chaotic knight, anyway, my main profession has a knight profession, that's for sure, and the knight's riding skills naturally can't be the same as the infantry profession, even the most ordinary knights will have three levels of riding skills as soon as they succeed in changing jobs, and these three levels are still additional levels, that is, other people's riding skills are up to twenty levels, but knight classes can directly upgrade their riding skills to twenty-three levels without getting any additional rewards, as for my riding skills...... It's just level 30 at the moment. Of course, these thirty levels are not included in the system, of which twenty levels are the default upper limit of riding skills in the regular system, and three levels are knight profession special rewards, and my ruling knight profession has two additional riding bonuses, which is already twenty-five levels of horsemanship. Finally, Nightshade, as a special type of mount, comes with a level 3 riding skill, which means that as long as a person sits on his back, it is immediately equal to an additional level 3 riding skill. In addition, the saddle on Nightshade's back is a special equipment, plus a riding level, and the iron palm under Nightshade's feet is also special equipment, plus a riding level, so it is exactly level 30 riding.
Onite Nobunaga, these foot soldiers, want to ride a normal mount and compete with me, a professional knight riding the Night Shadow? That's basically the equivalent of a slightly better biker driving a civilian sports car and a professional driver driving an F1 car, so it's no wonder that such a duel is not lost.
Ghost Nobunaga was running in front of them on their mounts and suddenly felt something was wrong, as the Japanese players around them were gradually moving away from them. At first, Onite Nobunaga and the others were still worried about the rout in front of them, but now that there is suddenly an extra road in front of them, it makes them feel very strange. After all, the rout is usually synonymous with disorganization and undiscipline, and you can't expect the rout to make way for you just because you're high-ranked, right?
Because they thought it was strange, they looked back, but it didn't matter if they didn't look back, and they were immediately startled when they turned around.
"Oh no, the purple sun is catching up!" A member of the Sakura Group shouted at Onite Nobunaga.
Ghost Nobunaga was also nervous, and at this time, he didn't care about any image problems, and directly ordered the people behind him: "Intercept him." ”
The few people who reminded Onite Nobunaga were just habitually reported, but they didn't expect Onite Nobunaga to order them like this, and they were immediately stunned, but after thinking about it for a while, these people decided to follow Onite Nobunaga's orders, after all, I killed them at most once, and if I offended Onite Nobunaga, they would be unlucky.
In desperation, the two horses running at the back immediately slowed down and tried to block my pursuit, but just as they were about to make a move, I suddenly grabbed Nightshade's belly, and Nightshadow's speed instantly rose sharply and rushed past the two of them in a flash, and before they could make the next decision, they found that there seemed to be some liquid flowing down their necks, and they mechanically reached out and touched it, only to find that their fingers were stained with blood. The two of them looked up at each other at the same time, and then their heads rolled off their necks, and their bodies that lost their heads sat on their horses and continued to run forward for a while before falling off their horses, and by this time I had already chased after Onite Nobunaga and they were neck and neck with the last man.
Seeing me running to him, the man who was at the end of the race immediately drew his long knife at his waist and slashed at me, and I simply jumped up from the back of Nightshade with a hard foot, and stepped on the back of the man's stabbing knife and jumped directly onto the back of a horse in front of me. The Japanese player on the back of the war horse suddenly felt that there was an extra person behind him, and he was so frightened that he quickly touched the knife, but I moved faster than him, and before he could pull out the knife, I directly wiped his neck with the blade claw, and then slapped his head to make him fall on the horse's back, and then I stepped directly on his back and jumped up again and jumped on the back of an ugly-looking war beast in front of me. The owner of this beast noticed my movements when I killed the man behind him, so he had already put the knife in his hand, and now when he saw me jumping over, he immediately aimed at my side and took a cross-cutting position, ready to use the impact of my fall to directly cut me in two, but unfortunately although his reaction was good, he underestimated my combat strength.
Jumping in the air, I was not ready to fight him, I aimed my right hand directly at his throat, and as soon as my palm stretched out, a crossbow arrow flew out of the Avenger's throat and pierced the fellow's throat and knocked him off his mount. When he fell off the beast, I put the hook and sickle in my hand up, and then held the gun with both hands, so that the tip of the spear was pointing downward, and with the impact of the fall, the head of the spear was completely penetrated into the head of the beast. The beast that sprinted at full speed lost its life in an instant, and as soon as its legs went weak, it was a dog gnawing mud and its whole body rolled forward, and I jumped away from it again with the help of the shaking force of his tumbling. Nightshade, who had been running nearby, saw me jump, and immediately a dream leap appeared where I was about to fall, caught me, and sped forward.
Originally, there were a few large creatures running with the war beast, but after seeing me easily kill one of my companions, the war beasts all expressed unusual fear. Although the war beast is good at fighting and can also be used as a mount, but unlike the war horse, the IQ of these guys is too high, and things with brains generally know to be afraid, so after seeing that I easily solved a similar kind of thing, the other war beasts immediately began to want to escape, even if the owner on their back tried hard to pull them back, they still continued to run away from the running mount group to the sides.
Nobunaga Onite heard the loud sound of the beast falling behind him and glanced back, but this time his hand shook and he almost flipped off his mount, because he realized that I was aiming at him with my hand raised. The Avenger sniper crossbow on my wrist is famous, not only because it's my weapon, but also because of the horrific punishment of death. Although the Avenger is a perverted weapon with a long range, high accuracy, and a super fast rate of fire, none of this is as famous as its three arrows of revenge. Anyone who is hit by the arrow of revenge will immediately drop two levels, and when the resurrection is not good, it may fail, in case of accidental failure again, it is equivalent to a drop of three levels, although the impact on low-level players may not be great, but for high-level players who are difficult to upgrade, the loss of two to three levels at a time is still quite strict, not to mention that in addition to those revenge arrows, I also have three soul-chasing arrows, that thing in addition to the punishment of the arrow of revenge from three levels to ten levels also comes with automatic tracking ability, It can be said that this thing is the nemesis of advanced players, unless you have the ability to shoot down the soul chasing arrow with a weapon, you can't expect to be able to dodge the past, even if these things miss, they will keep coming back in circles to find an opportunity to attack again, and they will never stop if they don't hit the target or are shot down.
How can you not be afraid to see me take the Avenger against him? But what scared him even more was that when he looked at me, I actually activated the Avenger, and he only saw a flash in the dragon head decoration above my wrist, and a golden light immediately shot towards him, and he was so frightened that he let go of his hand and fell directly from his mount.
It's not fun to fall off the horse in high-speed running, as soon as Ghost Nobunaga landed, he was immediately crumpled into a ball by the huge inertia and friction, rolling and bouncing on the ground, and continued to rush forward, still without the intention of stopping, but the speed slowed down.
Seeing Nobunaga fall from my horse, I immediately urged Nightshade to speed up, but the crowd that had been guarding Nobunaga quickly leaned towards me and tried to block my approach. They have figured it out now, Onite Nobunaga is their backer, I can only kill them once, but Onite Nobunaga can influence their future development, so even if I kill them today, they must protect Onite Nobunaga.
"Purple Sun looks at the move." One of the first ninjas to come up directly learned from me and jumped up from his mount, I didn't even look at the hand raised is a crossbow arrow through his throat, after the crossbow arrow Yu Wei also flew out with his corpse and fell to the ground, the entity bounced on the ground a few times and then actually surpassed Onite Nobunaga before stopping, and the night shadow simply jumped up and stepped directly on the back of the mount abandoned by the guy and stepped into the dirt entirely, the huge inertia instantly made the mount's whole body muscles tear bones and shatter, And we stepped over the encirclement and landed beside Onite Nobunaga. I raised my hook and sickle and stabbed Nobunaga into the smashed ghost hand, but before the tip of the spear touched him, a man suddenly flew out of the way, grabbed the tip of the hook and sickle, and tilted it to the side.
Although the man managed to take my spear out of the way, Eternity is no ordinary weapon, it does carry a bunch of striking attributes. Although the guy carefully avoided the sharp blade, he was still hit by the red lightning above the eternity, and the whole body burst into smoke with a bang. But this guy is also tough enough, although he is on fire and screaming, he is holding on to the eternal life and not letting go, I tried to pull it twice but couldn't pull it out, and the last time I even lifted the guy together and couldn't shake him off the tip of the gun.
It's useless if this guy is holding on to eternity in normal times, but now that he is surrounded by their people, I don't have that much time to compete with him in tug-of-war. Just as I was about to draw my gun for the third time, the man behind me finally arrived. A Japanese samurai slashed directly at the hilt of the Eternal Hook Scythe, and with a flick of his wrist, the long knife slid upwards along the shaft of the Eternal Spear. If he cut it up like this, it would have to end up in my hand, and I had to let go of eternity.
As soon as I let go, a Japanese samurai next to me immediately slammed into Nightshade's sideways with a shield on his head. Nightshade reacted quickly and drew a beautiful U shape down his neck, and the sharp horn on the top of his head instantly severed the man's legs, and the creature immediately fell in front of us, while Nightshade hissed and stood up and stomped down, and the two hooves stepped on the back of the creature's head and vest, instantly flattening his chest and bursting his head.
It's not over to trample this guy to death, Night Shadow simply stepped on the corpse of that guy and kicked the man who had just forced me to let go of Eternity and kicked it out, and then I reached out and scooped the tail of the eternal gun and pumped it violently, the Japanese warrior holding Eternity had been completely charred at this time, and his body immediately shattered as soon as I exerted my strength, and with some red points of light that had not yet been burned, his body exploded into a pile of flying ashes, and Eternity was back in my hands.
Seeing that I had regained Eternity, the other Japanese players did not give up, and one Japanese player holding a large knife similar to the Blue Dragon Glaive Knife bravely stepped on the kicked corpse of his companion and jumped up, brandishing the broadsword and slashing it at my head.
Looking at the big knife that was chopped down from above, I immediately tried to pick it off in the air with a hook and sickle, after all, although his knife was not small, but it was not as long as my hook and sickle, but I found that the head of the gun could not be lifted at this time, and at this time I didn't have time to study why the gun couldn't be pumped, so I simply pinched my wrist, and the tail of the hook and sickle was immediately broken off by a small cut of two inches long, and the eternal moment that fell off turned into a liquid state and flew to my left hand like lightning, Then, the liquid of eternal transfiguration immediately covered my entire palm, turning it into an eternal protective layer. After completing the protection of my left hand, I simply stretched out my left hand and caught the big knife that I slashed at the head, and the Japanese samurai was held in the air with the knife in my hand, and I couldn't fall down at all. In his surprised and frightened gaze, I suddenly strained, only to hear the crisp sound of ping-pong, and my five fingers actually penetrated the blade into the blade, and then the entire front half of the knife shattered and shattered into a pile of fragments.
The blade broke, and the samurai, who had lost his support, immediately fell to the ground, but I didn't give him a chance. I didn't have time just now, but now I finally have time to take a look at the hook and sickle in my right hand. As a result, I turned my head and saw that two weapons were stuck in my hook and sickle, and since the other was stuck in the back of the blade, Eternity did not cut their weapons.
Seeing the reason why the hook and sickle was stuck, I simply flipped my wrist, and the hook and sickle on the hook and sickle immediately turned and swept over one of the weapons and cut it in two from the blade, and the other person alone couldn't suppress my strength at all, I slammed it, and the person flew out with the weapon, and then I just took the hook and sickle and threw it directly from the right side to the left to cut the falling samurai waist in two, and then the wrist turned again, The hook and sickle flipped and retracted the upper body of the guy, pulling it to the right side, smashing the guy whose weapon had been cut off to the ground again.
Originally, the nearby Japanese players saw Onite Nobunaga fall and wanted to come over to help, but when they saw me chopping melons and vegetables, they all put down all the defenders of Onite Nobunaga, and they were all out of nowhere, and even the people who ran from behind also consciously bypassed the area where we were fighting, and most of them didn't dare to enter my attack range to help, because they all knew that they could only block one move at most when they fought with me.
However, although most people have bypassed, just as there will always be good Samaritans and evil people in this world, heroes and cowards are two groups of people who will never disappear. Although there are a little more cowards among Japanese players at the moment, it can't be assumed that there are no heroes among them, such as the guy who would rather be burned to death than hold on to eternity.
Seeing that Nobunaga's guards were all gone, a few brave Japanese players finally gathered the courage to rush forward, even though they knew that they were no match for me, even though they knew that they were not even the ones they had killed, but they still rushed forward. But it's a pity that although these guys have a commendable spirit, reality is reality and will not change because of people's will. I glanced at the few people who rushed up and didn't bother to pay attention to them, and with a wave of my hand, an additional line of Death Guards immediately blocked them all.
Although I have sent all the Death Guards out in the previous battle, the Death Guards are not invincible, and they have died a lot after fighting for so long, and now what I have released is the new Death Guards who have just recovered the number of summons, but the number is relatively small, but it is definitely enough to block these ordinary players.
Although Nobunaga's guards couldn't stop me, their sacrifice at least bought Nobunaga time to get him up from the ground. The first thing Nobunaga did when he got up was to look for me, and when he found that I had actually jumped off his mount and walked towards him, the kid turned around and ran away in fright, without any of his previous arrogance. I think how high-spirited this guy was when he first debuted? Although he has not defeated me once since then, he has not been afraid of me at all, and has always fought against me tenaciously, but this time he was completely frightened. None of them could win under such advantageous conditions in the duel space, and even a madman like Ghost Nobunaga would not be able to adapt to such a blow for a while, so he didn't dare to think about anything now except running.
Looking at Nobunaga, who was stumbling and crawling forward, I didn't chase after him in a big stride, but walked towards him step by step with a hooked scythe. There were a few brave people on the road who saw that it was too embarrassing for Ghost Nobunaga to be chased by me like this and rushed up to try to block me, but these people were just ordinary players, and none of them could compete with me. No matter what weapon they use, or how they rush at me, I just do it anyway: swing - put it away, and the enemy falls.
"Okay, that's enough, I can't stand it anymore." Just as I was getting closer to Onite Nobunaga and preparing to attack, a figure suddenly appeared between me and Onite Nobunaga and blocked me.
I stopped when I saw someone coming, then pushed the mask up and looked at him and laughed. "You're so chivalrous! These guys put up a name to reject you, and you are still willing to stand up for them? ”
The person who came was none other than Masakamoto Masaka, as for the reason...... It's just because I've just discovered that it's actually more useful to kill Ghost Letter in the long run than to let Matsumoto Masaga save him, because Ghost Nobunaga is now scared by me, and killing him again will not only not increase his fear, but will reduce his fear of us. It's like a more commonly used technique in torture, using words or actions to let the inmate know the torture and pain he will receive, but don't really destroy his **, so as to produce the greatest mental pressure. After all, the human body has an upper limit, so there is always an upper limit to the pain that the body can convey to the brain, but there is no upper limit to the spirit, so that the other party is psychologically afraid, and then let him imagine the consequences of this torture, that effect is often more effective than the actual torture of him. It's the same with Onite Nobunaga now. I just kept oppressing him in order to break his psyche and make him really afraid of me from the bottom of his heart, but if I did kill him, he might have been scared at the time, but after resurrection, he will quickly figure out a lot of things and learn from them, and that's not what I want to see.
In addition to not wanting Nobunaga's fear to disappear, my other purpose is to make Nobunaga dependent on Matsumoto. That's right, it's dependence. Although Nobunaga and Matsumoto Masaga have always been at odds, this is indeed an opportunity. As long as Matsumoto Masaga saves Ghost Nobunaga this time, he will put a very powerful impression on Matsumoto Masaga in the depths of his memory when Ghost Nobunaga is most psychologically fragile, although this impression may not be able to immediately change the relationship between Onite Nobunaga and Matsumoto Masaga, but it will subtly affect Onite Nobunaga's behavior, so that he will finally give up confrontation with Matsumoto Masaga and completely believe and even worship Matsumoto Masaga, When that time comes, Matsumoto Masaga will no longer deliberately improve his position in the hearts of Japanese players, and he will be able to easily lead players all over Japan.
Matsumoto Masaga stood in front of the frightened Onite Nobunaga and said to me, "Purple Sun." I admit that this time we have failed, and we have been defeated, but we will not give up, and our great Yamato nation cannot be conquered. You can rob our land, you can dig up our resources, but our spirit cannot be conquered, as long as our people are still there, as long as our samurai souls are still there, we will definitely drive you out of our land. ”
"So what? Do you want to make me give up hunting you for this? ”
"Nope." Matsumoto Masaga said firmly: "I didn't say this to you, I said it to the tens of thousands of samurai of the Yamato nation. Speaking of this, Matsumoto Masaga suddenly raised his lamp-like light sword and said loudly to the surroundings: "All Japanese players, listen, evacuate here immediately, I will lead my people to stay and break the queen for you, don't stop, run backwards, how much can be removed, we will win one day." ”
Matsumoto's declaration almost slammed into the hearts of all the Japanese players present, who stopped almost at the same time and turned around and bowed to Matsumoto before running with tears in their eyes. It wasn't tears of sadness or fear, it was remorse, regret that they hadn't listened to Matsumoto Masaka before, and that they had made a good big counterattack plan what it was now. Tens of millions of Japanese players lost their armor and retreated, and this result was not because of the bewitchment of Ghost Nobunaga, not because of someone's instigation, but because of their own greed. Yes, because of greed, for the sake of sharing so many interests, for such a little advantage, let alone sharing the benefits, I am afraid that now I don't even know if the next counterattack can be launched.
With infinite remorse, the Japanese players retreated along with the NPC troops, leaving a strange winding wall of people on the battlefield. These people are markedly different from those who retreated. Although their numbers are small, they are fully equipped and energetic, and they are more than one grade more elite than those deserters. However, even the elite are useless now, because they are too few in number. The thin line that snaked on the battlefield was only two or three people thick, and it wasn't even a line of defense, because it was so thin. However, it was this line of defense that held back the pursuing our army, not because of their combat effectiveness, but because of their spirit.
Of course, the above is actually all superficial. No matter how good the spirit is, it can make people explode, and no matter how much a person explodes, he is still a human, and he can't become a superman. Matsumoto Masaga's little bit of people don't want to stop our army, just want to delay a little, it's probably all a dream, and the reason why our side stopped was entirely because I asked Rose to take a group of high-level players who knew the inside story to forcibly suppress the team. There are my people on both sides of the battlefield, isn't it easy to show some drama to others?
