"How is that possible?" Having never seen a person with a heart pierced alive, Mero showed a shocked expression for the first time, and for a moment he actually forgot to react.

"Black Refinement!"

Ruan Chi waved the magic sword in his right hand, Phyllisto, and activated its own additional skills, only to see a black glow as black as ink flash, and lightly tore apart Mero's chest.

"Wow!"

Mero, whose defense was already extremely weak, suddenly spat out blood, and the place with his chest as the middle line was almost cut in half, and a big red letter floated on his head-

15422 (Fatal!) ）

The effect of Black Lian's skill of ignoring defense is really significant, this is definitely the highest damage that Ruan Chi has ever hit, but unfortunately it didn't trigger the critical hit effect, otherwise this blow would definitely be able to kill Mero in seconds-

273

Although the side effects of black refining caused Ruan Chi's remaining health to drop by 90%, his health was not much, and after a 90% drop, it was no different from the original, not to mention that he wore the heart of the mutant elf, and the bloodsucking effect took effect, and a green number then floated up.

+1542

Because Ruan Chi hit extremely high damage this time, the bloodsucking effect was particularly significant, and the health value that was about to return to 0 suddenly recovered a lot.

On the other hand, Mero, who had no strength to fight back after being hit hard by the black refining, covered his almost dissected chest and half-knelt down, his head was still beating with damage numbers, and his face was extremely ugly.

It was the effect of a highly poisonous gem, and although it only deducted a little bit of blood at a time, it was undoubtedly worse for Mero, who was so badly injured.

Ruan Chi didn't do it right away. After all, the other party still has a lot of health. Just in case. He retreated to a safe distance and took out the concentrated water of life and slowly swallowed it.

The bloody hole in his chest that had been stabbed open by the dagger quickly healed under the repair of the system, and in less than a moment, Ruan Chi's health and injuries were all recovered.

"Ahem......"

The ribcage of his chest was sliced open, Mero's lungs were almost exposed to air, and with every breath he took now, a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth, and his narrow eyes stared at Ruan Chi. In a difficult voice, he said, "You...... Who are you...... Why...... Immortal? ”

Mero had already seen it very clearly just now, Ruan Chi's heart was obviously pierced by a dagger, but now when he looked at it, there was no injury at all.

Mero only realized at this moment that the black-haired boy in front of him was not an ordinary person at all, his eyes were dilated, and he closed his eyes in a dejected manner, "I didn't expect that I would be planted here." ”

……

When the red moon is in the sky, the camera returns to Nugel City in the darkening night.

A tall figure was standing on top of a tall tower in the Court of Freedom. His eyes were as calm as water, looking at the red moon in the sky.

"Tonight is the night of the Akatsuki!"

A clear voice rang out. Duncan appeared behind the tall figure.

"The Akatsuki is different from the Frost Moon, it represents the symbol of fire, a symbol of blood and fire, and the troubadour's epics record various disasters and wars, most of which occur when the Akatsuki rises alone, and hopefully tonight will be an exception." The tall master said indifferently.

"The boss is really getting more and more like His Excellency Ron, and he can still use astronism and stargazing?" Duncan laughed.

Tang Shide turned around slowly, and said with a calm expression: "I'm not interested in these things, I'm just staying by His Excellency Ron's side for a long time, and I'm just exposed to it. ”

"By the way, Boss, now that you're back, it's time to give you something back."

"Oh?"

Duncan touched the storage ring in his hand, pulled out a purple-veined greatsword from it, and handed it to Tang Shide.

"The Sabre Grass of Byler concludes?"

Just by looking at it, Tang Shide recognized the origin of this sword.

"I got it back from that brunette boy with a hard time, you give it back to Aaron, he must need this now." Duncan said.

"Thank you." After thanking his son, Tang Shide put away his sword and then asked, "The black-haired boy you are talking about is really the legendary Titan?" ”

"Well, I've seen him transform into a giant with my own eyes, I shouldn't be wrong, and ......" Duncan stopped talking and paused with a kitchen knife: "And Lord Ron used the Great Prophecy of the Spiritual Corridor to prophesy this person."

"The result?"

"I can't predict."

Hearing this, Tang Shide's pupils shrank slightly, and he said in a slightly surprised tone: "Isn't this the same as the legendary knight king Meseliban?" ”

"Yes, Lord Ron is also surprised by this, but unfortunately he can't think of a reason." Duncan smiled wryly.

"And what about him now?" Tang Shide asked.

"Some time ago, the 'Gray' sent assassins to make trouble, and for the sake of safety, we expelled his envoy group, and now I heard that an adventure group has been formed on the side of Fortinchel, and it seems that they have the intention to stay on the Terran territory, but they don't know what their purpose is."

"Adventure party?" Tang Shide couldn't help but smile slightly, and commented: "It seems that this son is also an interesting person, otherwise it would be impossible for you to suffer enough." ”

Unexpectedly, Tang Shide would know about his embarrassment in the Forgotten Country, Duncan couldn't help but help but help his forehead, "It must be Aaron who told you." ”

"I do hear a little about what happened to you and him in the Forgotten Realm, and I'm curious how this Titan's imp can make our Thousand-Handed Knight deflated."

"Boss, let's stop talking about those things in the past, okay?" Duncan raised his hands in surrender, paused, he changed his serious expression, and his eyes turned to the direction of the brightly lit Nugel City, "What do you think, what is the idea of the Platinum Consortium this time?" ”

"Don't know?" Tang Shide said very simply.

"Boss, don't be kidding, you are thoughtful, and your wisdom is no worse than that of Lord Ron, can't you think of what the Platinum Consortium and the Nine Ghosts are up to?" Duncan asked, stunned.

"I've been dealing with the Nine Ghosts and the Heavenly Wheel for almost a hundred years, they belong to the kind of people who can't afford to be unprofitable, twenty years ago, although the Platinum Consortium offered them great conditions to serve as the chief guest secretary, but after so many years, they have never provoked us. This time, the nine ghosts came forward in person. Even I was puzzled. ”

"The Platinum Consortium has frequently negotiated with the dwarves and orcs in recent years. Do you think they were instructed by the two tribes? Duncan guessed.

"No, although there is chaos within the Platinum Consortium, but in general, the person who is in charge of the matter, Leevich, is always our human race, and it stands to reason that he cannot instruct the Nine Ghosts and the Heavenly Wheel to assassinate the Prime Minister of the Free Federation."

"Yes, if you do so, it will be tantamount to declaring war on us, and the Fourth War of the Throne is approaching, if it leads to a civil war at this time. Once a full-scale outbreak occurs, it will not do them any good at all. ”

"So I guess that the person who instructed the Nine Ghosts and the Heavenly Wheel should be a mysterious force of a third party, which not only has enough power to support behind it, but also has a direct interest in our Free Federation." Don Stead Road.

"Direct interest, isn't it ......" Duncan thought about it, his eyes widening slightly as if he had thought of something, "Could it be their ......?"

Townsside held up a finger and made a silent gesture at Duncan. Then he said, "What you think of is just speculation for the time being, until there is no evidence. You can't just say it. ”

"Did Lord Ron have already guessed that they are behind it?" Duncan asked.

Tang Shide just nodded, but it further confirmed Duncan's thoughts.

"Dada"

There was a sound of footsteps, and a hurried figure ran below.

"Lord Townsside, Lord Duncan, no, something big is happening in the city, Lord Qia invites the two of you to Prime Minister Ron's room to discuss."

Hearing the report of the soldiers below, Tang Shide and Duncan glanced at each other, and immediately jumped down from the top of the tower, and the two of them were extremely fast, and a few ups and downs quickly disappeared.

When I arrived at Ron's room, all the Ten Fingered Knights were there.

"The teleportation array in the city was attacked by an unknown man in black?"

Hearing this news, the faces of all the Ten Fingered Knight were gloomy, and almost no one would suspect that the guy who attacked the teleportation array was definitely the Platinum Consortium.

"Looks like they're ready to do it." Kia, with an indifferent expression, sneered.

"Yu Fei, you personally take people to the teleportation array to have a look, and by the way, stop the function of the teleportation array to prevent anyone from entering the city through the guò teleportation array." Tang Shide immediately made a decision and said to the only female knight present.

Yuffie is a delicate and cute girl, who looks like she is only about fifteen or six years old on the outside, but her figure is extremely hot, with huge breasts and a fiery red armor outlining delicate and convex curves.

After she nodded, she left with the subordinates of the Bloody Hand Knights to which she belonged as soon as possible.

"Alma, Tedley, Wren, Minoston, the four of you are guarding the four gates of the south, east, west, and north, and if you see a suspicious fellow, you can kill them, and in addition, let your men surround all the properties of the Platinum Consortium in the city, and kill them if there is any change."

"Yes!"

"Cohens, Duncan, Sennakin, Chia, the four of you stay with me to protect Lord Ron."

"Yes!"

After the deployment, everyone set off with their own people, compared to the tense atmosphere of the entire Free Court, as the object of protection, Ron looked indifferent.

"Tang Shide, do you think the Platinum Consortium's target this time is still me?" Ron asked.

"It's hard to say, on the surface, the nine ghosts have brought people to commit many crimes, and the last assassination incident, the target is obviously your Excellency, and the most important thing is that your Excellency is still a period of time away from the next 'reincarnation', and you happen to be in a weak period again, it is not ruled out that the other party will take the opportunity to attack you." Tang Shide said slowly.

"The forces behind the Platinum Consortium should know that it is impossible to break through the Court of Freedom with the Nine Ghosts and 'Gray' alone, will they still do this?" Ron shook his head and sighed.

"So we have to be even more vigilant, as long as we don't let them find an opportunity."

Because of the attack on the teleportation array along with the outside world, the entire city of Nugel entered an unprecedented tense phase, and the Knights of the Bloody Hand were all dispatched to inform the civilians to return home in time and not to go out.

The suffocating atmosphere slowly spreads, and the streets of the city have become silent, and the red light hangs high in the sky, exuding a demonic light.

Returning to the tower alone, he closed his eyes, and his spiritual power spread out in its center, covering the entire court of freedom.

This is the ability of a god-level powerhouse to exercise his spiritual power to a certain extent, but a person like Tang Shide can cover every corner of the entire Court of Freedom, and such a huge range is not something that every god-level powerhouse can do.

Time passes little by little. Without warning. Townsted's ears moved. His eyes opened and he looked into the distance.

"Boom ......"

It was a steam machine, and it was so slight at first that if it weren't for Downsted's amazing ears, perhaps no one would have noticed.

"Are you coming?"

Tang Shide stood up, his sharp gaze piercing the night, and soon found several black dots in the sky, flying towards the Court of Freedom, and getting closer and closer.

Duncan, who was staying in another part of the Court of Liberty at this time. I also found black spots on the horizon, and the sound of "boom" was gradually clearly audible.

When the black dot flew within a kilometer or so above the Court of Freedom, Duncan saw the true face of the black dot, which was clearly a few airships made by dwarves.

"The way I appeared on the stage was unexpected."

Reaching out and pulling out the knight's spear stuck in the ground next to him, he pulled a spear flower, Duncan's body erupted with a crimson Gaia battle aura, he stared at the approaching airship, and muttered: "This distance should be enough!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Duncan made a startling gesture and flicked his right hand violently. The knight's spear, wrapped in red battle qi, shot out.

"Buzz!"

A huge sound of breaking the sky sounded, and a red light pierced the night sky. Spanning a distance of a kilometer, the light yì tore through the armor of one of the airships.

"Boom"

The airship that was hit exploded in the air in an instant, the huge fire lit up half of the sky, and a large number of debris fell down, fortunately, Tang Shide had already ordered people to guard the street, and after finding the debris, all the members of the Red Knights immediately smashed the large fragments.

But the matter was far from over, and when Duncan was about to throw the second shot, hundreds of smaller black dots flew out of the airship that had just exploded.

"What's that?" Duncan was slightly stunned.

I saw the true face of these black spots, it was clearly a kind of non-human and non-beastly monster, they had wings on their backs, twisted and swollen muscles all over their bodies, several metal tubes inserted in their chests, their skin was covered with a thick layer of scales, and under the black hood, a pair of bloodthirsty blood pupils emitted a cold light.

Duncan also reacted quickly, and immediately folded his hands in front of his chest, and dozens of red circles of light appeared behind him.

"Thousand-armed Garuda!"

Although the angelic armament was not fully visualized, the dozens of arms sticking out of these circles of light each held a knight's spear, and they threw the knight's spear with the same posture and the same force.

"Puff ......"

The cracking sound continued to sound, and the spears pierced through the bodies of these non-human and non-beast monsters, and they immediately fell from the air after being severely damaged.

Just in front of me, half of the hundreds of monsters disappeared, and just when Duncan thought that he could get rid of all the monsters in this way, something surprising happened.

Those monsters that should have died by the knight's spear pierced their bodies actually flew into the sky again after a shaky movement.

Duncan's brows furrowed, and he was about to consider whether to continue the attack when another "boom" sound suddenly sounded behind him, and he immediately turned around when he realized that something was wrong, and was immediately taken aback.

It turned out that those airships were not flying from one direction, but the court of freedom was in four directions, front and back, left and right, and at this time, the same number of airships were rapidly approaching.

"Click"

The hatches of these airships opened, and monsters flew out of them, and they flew in a line, like a well-trained army, flying towards this direction.

Under the red moon, bursts of screaming sounds, echoing in the sky above Nugel City, giving people a creepy feeling.

Witnessing this scene, Duncan couldn't help but sigh with his forehead: "Damn, I was put on a ......"

……

Shirley managed to escape from the Rome port office with Rachel and Guldia, and they were terrified, looking back from time to time, as if they were afraid that Mero would be killed at any moment.

"We must go back and inform my father immediately so that he can make the Platinum Consortium's plot public." Shirley said a word to the two girls, and then took the lead in riding in the direction of the castle guard's mansion.

The remaining Rachel and Guldia glanced at each other and decided to stay nearby and wait for Ruan Chi, both of whom believed that Ruan Chi would defeat the enemy and return.

Time passed little by little, and the red moon in the sky had risen to the highest point, and just when the two women were nervous, a figure slowly walked out of the door of the office.

When the red moonlight fell on the man, the two women's hearts that were so nervous that they were at the throat finally relaxed, and they ran towards the man as fast as they could.

"Bastard!"

"Your Excellency!"

Seeing the two girls rushing towards him, Ruan Chi couldn't help but support his forehead, and rolled his eyes at the excited elf female swordsman, "What kind of bastard is such a welcome person?" ”

Rachel realized that she had made a mistake and quickly changed her tone and whispered, "Your Excellency." ”

Although the relationship between the two is usually more casual, Ruan Chi's current identity is also the king of elves, and he still can't be too presumptuous in front of Guldia.

Fortunately, Gulydia had been too worried about Ruan Chi's safety, so she didn't notice Rachel's abnormality, but pulled Ruan Chi to check left and right, and only completely relaxed after confirming that she was not injured.

"Why are you still here?" Ruan Chi suddenly asked the two girls with a reproachful look.

"It's not that I'm worried about you, it's not a joke to face a king-level assassin alone, if you die, how can we explain to our clansmen, don't forget that you are still our elven king." Rachel said.

Ruan Chi was both moved and amused when he heard this, but then changed to a stern expression, "Anyway, you go back to the residence now to find Betty, and then leave me where to stay." ”

"Your Excellency, what about you?" Gulydia asked nervously.

"I'm going to Nugel City." Ruan Chi said lightly. (To be continued......)
