Chapter 256: Chaotic Battle in the Suburbs (Part II)
in the open space.
An evil priest wearing a black cloak, as if shrouded in a black mist, with only a pair of eyes exposed, was facing the female knight close opposite.
He had no weapons in his hands, only a pitch-black round steel shield used by the Dark Knight, while Lilith on the opposite side was wearing a Templar Knight's armor and a tasseled helmet, and her long golden hair was flowing from the gap in the helmet, looking heroic.
However, at this moment, the female knight and the priest were facing each other, her willow eyebrows were deeply locked, and her face wrapped in a helmet was full of solemnity. If you look closely, you can also see beads of sweat looming on the tip of the female knight's nose, shining brightly in the scorching sun.
As it seems, Liliz was nervous.
She felt her hands gripping the hilt of her sword stiffer than ever. The reason why the female knight was so nervous was not difficult to understand, not everyone was qualified to compete with the heroic professional, and now she was fighting fiercely with a heroic priest in the open space of the camp for more than ten minutes.
The Ron priest told her to attack with all her might at the beginning, and the priest himself only raised the shield for defense, and showed no sign of actively fighting back.
"Is Your Excellency the Priest studying my strength?"
Thinking of this, Lilis's heartstrings tightened even more.
The heroic priest in front of her is fully qualified to be her mentor, and Li Lisi inevitably has a kind of disciple's apprehension in the face of a mentor-like professional. What's more, the female knight had a ghost in her heart, and she was even more uneasy when she remembered the Transfiguration Warlock's earnest advice before leaving, which made her even more uneasy about restricting Ron's priesthood.
Could it be that this priest knows? There was a faint hint of panic in Lisi's eyes.
"Attention—"
But before Liliz could stabilize her emotions, the low cheers of the priest opposite startled her.
"Buzz"
This is a round shield slapping on the air, and the air mass is pent up. The surging movement. It's like a swarm of bees around your ears. Lilis's face was shocked. As a warrior, she certainly knew what a terrifying force it would take to make such a noise with a shield.
In the Dark Knights of the Temple of Bane, only two or three strong knights with Northland blood, or a hint of orc blood, could use their shields to launch such attacks. Except for the knight captain Karl, Lilis has almost tried with the people in the knights, so she knows very well the strength level of the priest in front of her.
Extraordinary Strength!
Even if it's not extraordinary. That's definitely very close, too. Li Lisi couldn't believe it in her heart, if it was said that a warrior had extraordinary strength, it was nothing, but this was outrageous and incredible for a priesthood who studied divine arts and mainly relied on guiding divine power to fight.
At least, Lilith had never heard of a priest who specialized in melee combat and had advanced to the rank of high priest. Therefore, after thinking about it, the female knight was even more confused...... Lord Ron. When did you develop such strength?
But the oncoming shield did not allow Li Lisi to pause for a second longer. The Dark Priest's shield was swift, but not impossible to dodge. The female knight, who was focused on the battle, retreated sharply and continuously, and the pitch-black round shield chased her for a few steps, and then she was in a languishing state.
"Chance!"
Li Lisi no longer cares about the identity of the opponent at this time, she takes every battle seriously, and never shows mercy or releases water. As soon as she retreated to the edge of the field, the female knight's hind feet slammed into the dirt like a javelin, and the power that erupted from her thighs and waist supported her to complete a lightning-fast sword swing counterattack.
Swish.
The two-handed greatsword slashed out a brilliant cold light, and it bypassed the pitch-black round shield and struck the cloaked man behind the shield.
However, after swinging his sword sharply, he caught a glimpse of the details of the priest's demeanor, and Li Lisi sensed that something was wrong. The other party was too calm and too calm, and there was no reaction in the face of her sword that could break stones and gold!
"Oops......"
"He's lying to me about my flaws."
Just as the female knight had this thought, the pitch-black round shield had already turned sideways first, and slammed into the two-handed sword that she had struck. After the loud "bang", although Li Lisi desperately held the hilt of the sword, her whole body was already with the sword that was slapped, and she lost her balance.
Next, the dark knights who were watching the battle around the field naturally saw the female knight being hit by the shield mercilessly and falling to the ground in an extremely embarrassed manner.
No one cheered, no one applauded, it was a quiet victory. Charles didn't care about the victory, he cared about something other than it.
Lowering his arm and lowering his shield, he stared at the green text on the retina:
"You have a preliminary understanding of [defending and attacking] (mastery)."
"Personal Spiritual Experience +100."
There are two reward messages in total, the first is the advanced mastery specialty prompt of [Defending and Attacking], and the second is literal, cultivation experience.
There was a bit of astonishment and disappointment in his eyes.
In fact, he took the initiative to find a female knight to fight, and Charles wanted to train [Shield Slamming] or something like that, about the specialty of the shield, who knew that he had no intention of inserting willows, and actually got a hint of advanced expertise.
The technique of [Defending and Attacking] is very useful, just now Charles dodged a sword of the female knight and counterattacked with thunder, which was completed by activating this specialty.
Maybe he defeated the female knight with the skill of [Defending and Attacking], so the system also gave him the corresponding specialty hint reward.
Charles reasoned about this, and the fire burning in his eyes grew stronger.
"You, come in—" Charr said in a flat tone, raising his round shield and pointing at another burly warrior dressed in a knight's armor suit outside the field.
The downed female knight had silently picked up her two-handed sword and exited.
In addition to his training expertise, Charles chose to compete with these Dark Knights for a second purpose, which is the second type of battle reward: cultivation experience.
There are many ways to gain cultivation experience, such as reading professional books, such as adventuring and traveling in the wilderness, such as enclosing and training alone, and directly training with NPCs like Charles is now.
Among all the paths, finding NPC sparring is undoubtedly the quickest. This is Charles's personal experience, and other players may know it, but it is due to conditions. It simply can't be without reason. Just go to the street and drag a professional to fight. That would be a face-to-face provocation, and the result would often be a miserable death for the player.
After two or three fierce battles with the female knights before, Charles noticed the gradually decreasing cultivation experience reward, so he switched to another opponent this time.
Of course, he was particular about his selection, it can be said that the information and intelligence of this Cavaliers team is already under the control of Charles, and the opponent he chose this time is the Cavaliers. The strongest player ranked first in rank and force data.
"Yes."
The burly knight who was ordered answered, and slowly walked into the field with heavy steps.
Charles stared at the weapon in his hand.
Instead of the usual spears and two-handed swords, the Dark Knight carried a rugged double-headed blade, like a knife and a two-headed axe used by orc man.
"Have your own style of combat skills?" As soon as Charles saw this special weapon, he couldn't help but look forward to the next battle.
The battle is about to take place between the Dark Knight and the Priest in disguise.
At the other end of the suburbs, in the heart of the imperial capital, the Cormier court.
Zhang Ze, Long Yan Yifeng and Qi Guangming, the An sisters. There is also Nodashir and his party, surrounded by palace guards. Stepping on the smooth and smooth steps, step by step towards the main hall of the royal court.
"I dare say we were definitely the first players to enter the royal court!" Zhang Ze walked in front with his head up, deliberately distanced himself from the female guard chief who led the way, and boasted to the friends behind him: "Hehe, do you see, the attitude of these guards towards us, what prime minister, what finance minister, what generalissimo, it's just Erer." ”
Of course, Zhang Ze knew that such a volume and distance could be heard by the palace guards who stood a little farther away, not to mention the female guard chief who was only two or three steps away. But Zhang Ze doesn't care, he is the kind of character who can say whatever he wants.
"Open your mouth wide, can you be quiet."
Long Yan and Yifeng, the An sisters, including Nodashir, all chose to ignore this guy, but Qi Guangming was not happy, and mocked: "Look at your pig-headed appearance, just like a wild man who has been cultivating in the mountains for a hundred years before going down the mountain and entering the city...... You can now represent the player in the royal court and negotiate with the Cormier royal family. Hmph, I can't figure it out, why did that guy give you such important information, which of our group is not more reliable than you? ”
Zhang Ze's big mouth had already let everyone know the cause and effect, and Qi Guangming's retort also provoked Zhang Ze to push back on the spot, and he sneered: "Why did I smell sour." ”
"Oh, let me think about it, who was furious at the Twilight Tavern a month ago, saying that he was an enemy of Nodashir and him? Tsk, now hugging the thighs in various postures, we can see it in our eyes, don't deny it. ”
These words were simply heart-wrenching, Qi Guangming couldn't ridicule him, he could only hold back his anger, and the blue tendons on his forehead appeared from time to time.
Although Philina, the head of the palace guard who walked in front, did not look back, she saw the performance of the group of Holy Arrivals behind.
She shook her head inwardly.
Partners who expose each other's shortcomings?
While Firina was disappointed, she also became a little curious about the "guy" that these two people were arguing about.
What kind of leader can make these two unruly Holy Arrivals involuntarily show their inner conviction? For some reason, Felina suddenly thought of a Holy Advent priest who impressed her.
Everyone stopped at the foot of the steps of the main hall of the royal court, and Filina turned to Zhang Ze and said to them: "King Azeen and Princess Regent are gathering the ministers in the main hall, and we will wait here. ”
The group of players didn't say much, nodded and quieted down. Ost dragged Todak and Leah and turned to look to the northeast of the royal court, where stood a towering white spire, and at this moment the shadow of the tower was striking where everyone stood, twisted and blurred.
Zhang Ze and Qi Guangming had just had a verbal fight, and they would each turn their heads away from each other, with a deliberate look of disgust written on their faces.
"Huh?"
Qi Guangming wrapped his arms around him, his fingers moving on the inside of the crook of his arm, when a messenger pigeon fell from the sky and landed on his shoulder, cooing and calling to show him that there was a message to be received.
He took off the slip of paper and unfolded it, and a piece of information written in small square print was reflected on his retina.
"Shaker's Followers......"
"Players from the evil camp are engaged in a group activity with unknown content?" (To be continued......)
