Chapter 41 Technology vs. Equipment
The golden flame burning on the "Eternal Flame" seems to have pierced through the fog of time and space, from that savage and dark ancient era to the present day.
The same flames, once at the most dangerous pass of the Empire, frightened off the flood of countless orcs.
The same flame, once in the most tragic battlefield of the Empire, purified the painful souls of countless dead.
Facing the "Eternal Fire" in Alexander's hand, the female knight Alice suddenly felt a little ashamed: Alexander had been holding this sword just now, but because of his carelessness, he failed to recognize its true identity!
Pope Gregory on the side couldn't help but shout:
"Eternal Flame!" it ...... Isn't it still in an underground treasure vault?"
"Your Majesty Dear Gregory," Lu Chen said with a slanted glat at the Pope, "I seem to have told you just now, I personally went to the underground warehouse to check the stock of food—you don't think I just glanced at it and left, do you?"
Gregory's mouth opened wide and he looked at the Divine Envoy as if he had just had a stroke.
"Don't worry, I'm just borrowing the equipment from the treasure vault, and I'll return it one day. The Pope's appearance was so funny, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh.
It's a pity that the world doesn't know that Liu Bei borrowed the allusion of Jingzhou, otherwise the divine envoy would have wanted to play a stalk.
- Just kidding, how can you spit out the equipment when you have it?
"Guard!" Alice, who had not spoken, glared at Alexander and said, "Do you think you can defeat me with this Eternal Flame?"
The female knight's tone was still so imposing, but the fingers she clenched on the hilt of her sword hinted at the nervousness in her heart.
"Knight Alice," replied Alexander solemnly, "a weapon is only a weapon, and it is the person who bears it! I have faith in overcoming you, but not by this 'eternal fire,' but by the true 'eternal fire' that burns in my heart for the Holy Spirit and for the Lord of God!"
The female knight was obviously stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect this little guard to have such a strong fighting spirit.
For some reason, Alice couldn't help but glance at the angel Eliot.
"Then let the horses come. The knightess withdrew her gaze from the Divine Envoy and refocused on her rival.
Alice still did not attack first: even if her opponent's weapon was a cut above her own, the dignity of the knight commander required her to be polite and tolerant.
Alexander snorted, and with a flick of his wrist, the holy sword in his hand stabbed with a blazing golden flame!
Compared to his first attack, it was almost exactly the same move.
Alice didn't think about changing her strategy at all: she did the same way she did last time, slashing her two-handed sword from the right down to the left up, and out a half-moon-shaped sword light that turned freely.
Last time, it was this sword light that accurately blocked Alexander's attack, and it also shook the young guard back.
However, now that the Holy Sword "Eternal Flame" has been activated by the Shingrum, where is it so easy to deal with!
At the moment when the two swords intersected, the holy flame on the "Eternal Flame" suddenly erupted! This fiery flame was instantly transmitted to Alice's two-handed sword "White Oriole", spreading down along the silver-white blade, and hitting Alice's sword grip fiercely!
Suddenly, the leather gloves on Alice's hands were burned black. Although I don't know what the skin on the female knight's hands is, at least there will be severe pain.
It was precisely because of this burning that the female knight could no longer use her sword moves after suffering pain, and the move "Half Moon Slash" only drew a half-crescent moon and ended hastily. Alice's sword moves had been interrupted, and Alexander's attack had been barely blocked, but the young squire hadn't been shaken a few paces away like the last time.
That's where top-of-the-line gear comes in!
Even if Alexander is not as good as Alice in all aspects, just by virtue of the holy fire technique attached to the holy sword, it is enough to fight with the female knight, and even glimpse the dawn of victory!
"Look, Your Majesty," Lu Chen turned his head and smiled at the panicked Pope, "Legend has it that the flames on the Eternal Flame only work on ghouls, ghosts, and other evil things, but legends are obviously unreliable—it turns out that the Holy Flame will attack all enemies of the sword-wielder, and the Paladin is no exception. ”
The Pope was silent for a long time, unable to utter a word.
Lu Daguan is still giving the crown science equipment knowledge, and the two people on the battlefield are already playing in a hot table tennis. Unlike the last time when the battle was one-sided in favor of Alice, this time the female knight and the young guard really fought hard.
Of course, Alexander's strength, agility, and moves are not as good as Alice's, but his greatest strength is his mad dog-like desire to attack - whenever he has the opportunity to hurt Alice, he will give up his defense and attack as if he is going to die together, forcing the cautious Alice to parry.
In the past, Alexander's offensive method could not break through Alice's airtight defense at all, and would only slowly exhaust his physical strength;
But today, this young man is holding the holy sword "Eternal Fire"!
Every time Alice's parry could block Alexander's slashing and stabbing, it couldn't stop the blazing flame wrapped around his sword! Every time the blades of the two intersected, the flame would burst out from Alexander's sword and hit the flaws in Alice's body.
In less than two minutes, the two had already exchanged dozens of swords with the sound of "bells" like striking iron.
A fine bead of sweat had appeared on Alexander's forehead, but Alice's condition was even more miserable: the female knight had not suffered a single sword wound, but her armor, gloves, and leather pants had been burned by the flames of a dozen burnt black burns.
As you can imagine, the female knight must be suffering from severe physical pain now!
If Alice hadn't been determined to be an ordinary warrior, she would probably have fallen to the ground and begged for mercy by this time: after all, the pain of burns is no joke.
This is a textbook one-man duel: it eloquently proves that superiority in equipment can indeed make up for the huge gap in hard power!
Looking at the battle situation in front of him, His Majesty the Pope's face was already as dead as ashes, and the divine envoy admired it with relish for a long time, and did not forget to shout loudly to the field:
"Captain Alice, get out of the way! you can't beat him!"
——This is what the female knight said to Alexander just now, and now the officials of Lu Daguan will return the full amount.
The knight glared at the envoy viciously, and somehow, her eyes turned slightly red.
