CH.26 Confrontation
It will be a confrontation between a dragon warrior and a soul warrior, and it is destined to be fierce.
Anrui took the lead in attacking, stabbing his sword at Cruise, unleashing a powerful breath. The white pillar of light slashed through the night sky, extremely dazzling, and instantly killed Cruise.
The soul aggregate suspended behind Cruise hurriedly stretched out its huge translucent arms and protected Cruise in it, and its energetic breath bombarded it, and it was blocked. Shattered light spread out from the confrontation like a spark. The soul aggregate's arms were visibly damaged, and quickly faded.
Cruise said badly, and quickly retreated, the thick pillar of breath light tracking unrelentingly, sticking to the arms of the soul aggregate. Seeing that there was no way to dodge, Cruise could only turn back to attack, raising his sword and slashing at the energetic breath.
The giant sword of that height bloomed with a faint blue glow of soul power, and it was slashing in the middle of the energetic breath.
Cruise roared, swung his sword and slashed his energy breath in half, and his body levitated and rushed towards Anrui in mid-air.
The energetic breath in An Rui's hand gradually exhausted, getting weaker and weaker, and at the moment when this move completely lost its threat. He withdrew his bloodthirsty sword, dodged over Cruise's head, and unleashed a raptor trample that stomped down. This kick was as powerful as a real dragon landing.
The soul aggregate raised its fists and met the soles of An Rui's feet, and the two shook together with an earth-shattering loud sound. The two sides were shaken apart by the force of the impact and reopened their distance.
"Good boy, no wonder you can make a name for yourself in the Sea of Blades. It's a bit of a skill. Cruise's face was solemn, and he lost the confidence he had just had. He had always regarded An Rui as a strong man before, but he only found out after he really handed it over. Anrui was even stronger than he had estimated!
"Shut your dog's mouth, you're not in a position to praise me. There is only one thing you deserve to do in front of me, and that is ...... Die! An Rui snorted coldly, used his teleportation ability, dodged to the back of Cruise, and slashed out both swords at the same time.
Cruise was taken aback. hurriedly turned around to deal with it, but it was still a step too slow.
The two swords slashed at the soul aggregate at the same time, erupting into a storm. The bitter storm pierced up and down, tearing through the soul aggregate so hard that it rained down many blue, translucent fragments.
At the moment of crisis, Cruise opened his mouth. Aimed at Anrui behind the storm. He yelled at the top of his lungs. An unpleasant sonic attack came from his mouth, and there was a surge of soul power in it.
"Roar!"
Soul Skill. Ghost cry wolf howl!
This combat skill can strike at people's souls, making people's souls become scattered, and the weak will be killed on the spot if they are hit, and the strong will also be affected.
Fortunately, An Rui had absorbed the soul essence before, which made the soul much stronger, and he resisted this blow. He opened his mouth and let out a dragon roar. Fight against Cruise's roar.
Two audible sound waves cancel each other out in the night sky.
While the two are fighting fiercely, the battlefield below is also undergoing various changes.
Hiding in the shadows, Hermione quietly cast several illumination spells, shooting several balls of light into the air, which hovered above the pirates' heads, illuminating the night sky. The light leaves these pirates with nowhere to hide.
The night is as bright as day, and fighting in such a situation is no different than fighting during the day.
"Kill! Kill this group of bitch pirates and protect our new world! ”
"This is ours, no one can touch it!"
"Rob them all of their money!"
The merchants of the Overlord Chamber of Commerce glared and shouted, rushing towards the pirates like wolves, and so many people charged together, and the momentum was quite huge. They are well-armed and well-trained, and many of them are strong, and they are a great deterrent to the pirates.
The pirates were taken aback, and for a moment could not estimate the number of enemies, but felt that they were at least as many as they were, or even more.
The two gangs of outlaws engaged in a confrontation, and soon their lives were lost in the battle.
Most of the men at the front were warriors, and nine out of ten were armed with shields to fend off enemy ranged attacks. Once these warriors rush in front of the enemy, they will become cruel and ruthless beasts.
Wizards unleash various types of magic missiles, stupidly shoot them straight out, so it is easy to injure their own people by mistake, and powerful wizards will throw magic projectiles in the form of a parabola in the enemy's team, exploding in the crowd, so that the damage to the enemy is greater, and it will not hurt their own people.
Some treasures such as scrolls also came in handy during the battle, setting off a bloody storm.
Once again, the killing machine and a few other slaves were in full swing, rushing back and forth among the pirates, and the combined combat power of these men was enough to be worth hundreds of ordinary people. Wherever you pass, it's like entering a no-man's land.
The few groups of people that An Rui had just recruited also played a huge role, and the Tiger Stripes Tribe, the Secret Rite Society, and the Gunsmoke Mercenary Group were all bloodily killed.
The battle was in a stalemate on the surface, but in fact, the Overlord Chamber of Commerce had the upper hand, and the balance of victory was tilting little by little.
……
The battle on the seashore has also begun. When Anrui's group of men attacked, Quasimodo had already received the news and led his men to attack the pirates guarding the seashore. He divided his troops into two lines, one along the shore and the rest by boat. As for himself, he relied on spatial magic to shuttle back and forth, controlling the overall situation.
The pirates were not blind, and with news from the front, they soon learned that an enemy was coming.
Along with the news from the front, an order was also sent back that the pirate commanders told the remaining men to hold their positions and protect the ships. The pirates who stayed behind obediently obeyed their orders and decided to fight to the death.
The sailing ship stayed on the shore and could play a very limited role, and the pirates pulled up the anchors, untied the ropes, and sailed the ship out into the sea, intending to maneuver the sea with the men of the Overlord Chamber of Commerce.
Quasimodo's shore troops rushed to the pirate ships before the pirates could escape. Killing and wreaking havoc on the ship affected the voyage of these pirates. Quasimodo himself used spatial magic to travel to the pirate ship. The two commanders were killed by the reclick, causing chaos among the pirates.
Two pirate ships lost the opportunity to leave the coast, and even the sails were destroyed and stopped on the shore. The rest of the pirate ships plunged into the water. The ships sailed and fought, fighting on the deck.
The fleets of both sides soon met at sea.
Hermione is not the only priest who knows how to illuminate, and there are wizards on this battlefield who can perform illumination. With one ball of light after another, the night sky and the sea are illuminated.
Quasimodo teleported back to his fleet and waved his hand ahead, "Go straight south." And be prepared to make a right turn. ”
He had also learned some techniques for commanding fleets, but he was not as experienced as Anrui, but fortunately, the pirate's command ability was not much stronger, so he would not suffer from it.
The flotillas of both sides are constantly approaching. When they were only one hundred and fifty yards away. Each turned around in a different direction and used their position to launch a long-range bombardment. Ordinary cannonballs and magic cannonballs flew together in mid-air, weaving together to form a web of death.
The Electric Eel and the Giant Whale, which were able to dive, dived into the sea one after another, and both had the ghost idea of sneaking up on each other from the bottom of the sea, and the two ships came face to face at the bottom of the sea and clashed. The Electric Eel spewed out a bolt of lightning, and yellow lightning flashed through the bottom of the sea, bombarding the Whale.
The whale's attack methods are all water-related. There is no ability to stop the thunder and lightning, and it is bombarded. Thunder and lightning scurried across the ship. Hit the pirates on the ship, killing dozens of people on the spot, and only a few survived.
In just one shot, the Electric Eel crushed the Giant Whale!
It can't be said that the Giant Whale is weak, it can only be said that the Electric Eel's ability is too tricky to prevent.
The Electric Eel rushed to the vicinity of the Whale and unleashed two more bolts of lightning, killing the remaining members of the Whale.
The Whale is Cruise's ship and the flagship of the pirate fleet, and the current leader of the pirate fleet is on board. After the ship was routed, the pirate coalition lost its leader and became leaderless.
The pirate fleet, which had been in an orderly manner just now, soon showed signs of disintegration, and several groups of pirate groups went their separate ways and drove the fleet in different directions.
An Rui's previous order was to annihilate all the pirates, leaving no half alive, and Quasimodo hurriedly arranged for the fleet to be split into two and turn into two forces to intercept the scattered pirates respectively.
Giving the order, Quasimodo teleported to a pirate ship with a flag painted on the red clown skull flying above it. He glanced around coldly and saw a man dressed as a clown on the deck. He vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a pirate on the Sea of Blades who often dressed himself as a clown, and was quite famous.
"Shoot him with a gun!" The clown waved the scimitar in his hand and gave the order viciously.
This ship is a magic ship, and there are many magic cannons on the deck, which are quite powerful. The pirates aimed their guns at Quasimodo, pulled the switch, and blasted the cannonballs out.
These pirates are simply asking for their own trouble.
With a wave of his hand, Quasimodo created a temporary spatial portal in front of him, and those cannonballs entered the portal and disappeared in an instant.
Immediately afterward, a new portal appeared above the pirates' heads, and the cannonballs that had been shot out of it came out of it, raining down on the pirates' heads.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”
The shell blew the hull of the ship, and a red clown nose was blown out, as for the clown himself...... It's better not to mention it.
……
On the Morning Star Continent, near the Yama tribe, the war is still in full swing.
Anrui and Cruise were inseparable, and they couldn't tell the winner for a while, and the two stood on the ground, gasping for air. There were corpses and broken stones all around, and no one dared to approach them to die, so they all hid far away.
Cruise squinted his eyes around, the battle around him was extremely fierce, and the pirates had died a lot, only about a third of them remained. However, the people of the Overlord Chamber of Commerce did not die too much, and their combat effectiveness was still strong.
The situation was very unfavorable for these pirates.
But for Cruise, it became more favorable, because there were many dead people around him, and a lot of soul energy was emitted. As a soul warrior, he is free to invoke these powers and use them for his own use.
"Anrui. The next sword will send you to Hell. Cruise grinned maniacally, in a desperate situation, making his mental state extremely unstable. He held his sword horizontally in front of him, unleashing a soul combat technique dedicated to absorbing soul power.
The souls of the surrounding dead burst out of their bodies and poured into the sword in Cruise's hand, causing it to be attached to a layer of blue flames. The furious force swept all around, scraping the sand and gravel on the ground.
Anrui is well versed in the skills of each profession. As soon as he saw Cruise's posture, he immediately recognized this combat skill.
This is a Soul Skill. Soul Eater, which absorbs the surrounding souls into the sword. The greater the number of souls, the more powerful the burst becomes. With so many people dead here, how many souls there are to have, making this soul combat technique extremely dangerous.
Even Anrui couldn't withstand this level of attack. I had to find a way to interrupt Cruise's attack. Or avoid it.
In contrast, it is better to interrupt Cruise's attack, so that you can still accumulate some yin virtue and save the souls of the dead and let them go where they belong.
Anrui released the Black Orchid Dragon from his body, and then teleported behind Cruise.
Cruise's reaction was fast, and in the previous encounter, he had suffered losses in Anrui's attack, so he was already on guard. An Rui just dodged behind him. He immediately turned around and slashed the giant sword out, which had accumulated more than half of his soul power. It erupted with astonishing destructive power.
Anrui swung out the Demon Breaker Sword, blasting out the mana that had accumulated in the sword for a long time, blocking Cruise's greatsword. The Demon Breaker Sword can absorb magic power, and An Rui will often let the wizards in the Chamber of Commerce release magic power on this sword, so that this sword has accumulated a lot of magic power, once released, the power is also amazing, no worse than Cruise's blow.
"Boom!"
The two swords collided together with a loud bang, ripples spread, and a violent wind swept up.
In the light, the figures of Anrui and Cruise gradually blurred.
Released into mid-air, the Black Arashi Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a dark breath at Cruise's back, which was exactly why Anrui kept it in the air, so that it could find an opportunity to sneak attack.
Cruise's attention was all on Anrui, and the attacks he faced were so violent that his body couldn't move at all. The dark breath that came from behind hit him right on the back, knocking him screaming and seriously injuring him.
An Rui took advantage of the victory to pursue, and suddenly increased the power of the Demon Breaking Sword, and the light pouring out of the magic power instantly swallowed Cruise.
"Ahh Cruise suffered the fatal blow and fell to the ground screaming.
Anrui finally won, and the battle was very difficult to win, and there were even some dangers.
Cruise is dead, but the battle doesn't end there, and there are still many pirates fighting back.
Anrui put Cruise's body into the space package, planning to keep it until he was free to check it and see if he could find anything good. He didn't even have time to rest, he simply poured a bottle of Pullback Elixir, and threw himself into the surrounding battle circle.
There are several pirate wizards who are active and pose a great threat to the army of the Overlord Chamber of Commerce.
An Rui carried the Demon Breaker Sword and rushed directly at the pirate wizards, and one after another magic immediately flew towards him. He swung his demon-breaking sword, and slashed at the flying magic, dissolving all of them, leaving not even a single magic left.
After blocking these attacks, he rushed to the group of pirate wizards, causing them to scatter in all directions, and several of them cast defensive magic. He has the Demon Breaking Sword in his hand, he is simply the nemesis of this group of wizards, swinging the sword and killing this group of wizards one after another, and soon several people died at his hands.
Anrui killed all the pirate wizards, and then began to select other pirate powerhouses, who were much worse than Cruise, and were no match for him at all.
The outcome of this battle has already been decided.
More than an hour later.
Standing on top of the stacks of corpses, Ann Rui holding the bloodthirsty sword in his hand, looked around, and as far as the eye could see, there was no pirate in sight.
He breathed a sigh of relief, took out the sound transmission stone, contacted Quasimodo who was located by the sea, and asked, "How is the situation on your side?" ”
"It's over, robbed all the pirates' ships, killed most of the pirates, left only a small number of pirates as hostages, and some pirates jumped into the sea and fled, and their lives are uncertain." Quasimodo replied.
"Good job, thanks to you for helping me lead the team this time, if you don't come forward, I really can't find a suitable candidate."
"It's just a small thing." Quasimodo said lightly.
The two chatted for a while and ended the conversation.
……
The next day, the sun rose in the sky and illuminated the wisps of rising smoke.
The post-war work was almost over, and Anrui counted the number of pirates he had killed, piled up the corpses, and counted the gold and silver treasures he had captured.
The pirates bloodied the Kara tribe and plundered a large amount of money, and when they were counted, there were as many as six million gold coins!
This is only the amount on the surface, those people under An Rui's command should have hidden a lot of small coffers in private, and if you count the money, the actual amount will be much greater than that. For those private hiding behaviors, An Rui does not intend to pursue them, everyone is gambling with their lives to participate in the war, and there is no need to be too strict in this regard. Let everyone have money to make, those people are willing to go with him willingly, if there is no oil and water at all, who is willing to go with him.
An Rui sent some of the pirate hostages to the two indigenous tribes for these natives to dispose of, and returned some of the money to the natives, which was a small compensation. This kind of compensation is a bit humanitarian, and it would be a bit too cold to keep all the money recovered.
The natives finally completely believed in the innocence of the Overlord Chamber of Commerce, but they still had lingering fears, the arrival of outsiders had completely changed their lives.
An Rui also felt that he couldn't go, and the outsiders in Cruise were actually attracted by him. However, even if he does not come, sooner or later there will still be seafarers here, and sooner or later the New World will be discovered, and it is only a matter of time before the natives are destined to be in tune with the world.
Some history is predestined. (To be continued......)
