"I think it's like that, too!"
"Oh my God, those can't be true, right?"
......
While Joyka and Nemo were circling around, the crowd below had heard Joyka's voice one after another, the strange man who had spoken to Nemo in the voice released by the Echo Stone. Since the real person appeared here, it also confirmed that another voice was indeed Nemo himself.
The longer this gradual out-of-control situation continued, the more unfavorable it was for Nemo, Nemo no longer gave Joika any chance to speak, he pulled out the long sword at his waist with a "shabu", and then, more than two dozen personal soldiers jumped on the stage at the same time, besieging Joika's three people.
"Kill him!"
Nemo's sword pointed forward. More than two dozen pro-soldiers shouted and raised their weapons and rushed forward.
Joyka also knew that the time for bickering was over, and he was unequivocal, and pulled out the long sword pinned to his waist sideways, only to see a silver flash fly by, and the spear in the hand of one of the soldiers at the front was sharpened by the iron and clay Mithril alloy longsword, and the castration sword swept past his neck, and the poor soldier was immediately beheaded.
Blood splattered on the nobles below, and the crowd was stunned by this scene, and even the soldiers chasing after were startled, and involuntarily took a step back. Nemo was also taken aback, but not because of the death of his men, but because of the weapon in Joika's hand. Why did this priceless Mithril longsword suddenly return to its original owner, when it was supposed to be his Nemo's trophy?
"Can't figure it out?" Joyka ostentatiously wiped the blood on her sword and wiped it a few times on the corpse lying on the ground with her head lost, "General, haven't you thought about why I would leave these two treasures to you so easily?"
"Could it be that the bow is a magic weapon that has been recognized?" Nemo suddenly remembered that the Mithril alloy longbow that had been captured with the longsword was inlaid with a green gem that seemed to contain active magical fluctuations. If Joyka really has a sense of contact with the bow and finds the bow, she will naturally find the sword that is placed with the bow.
But Joyka didn't answer directly, only a cold mockery on her face: "I said that you guys are too ignorant, and you actually locked these two treasures in a warehouse casually, and only sent two soldiers to guard them, which is simply a tyrannical thing." But with your intelligence, your vision won't be much better. I'll find someone else to do the business of those echo stones. ”
"Go to hell!" Joyka's humiliation enraged Nemo, who swung his sword and charged at Joyka himself.
However, he couldn't get into contact with Joyka, and someone stopped in front of him.
"Thank you for taking care of me all these few months. Alice crossed her hands and blocked Nemo's slash.
Taking advantage of the time Joeyka had just gained, Alice had recited the spell in its entirety, and successfully summoned her "True Martial Armor", and the heroic image that had been absent for months appeared in front of everyone again.
Alice and Nemo carried it head-on, and the rest of the soldiers were not idle. Unable to interfere with their master's battle, they rushed over to besiege the lone Joyka. But Joyka had expected that, instead of confronting the soldiers, he grabbed Mrs. Dunnis, who was beside him, and rushed out of the encirclement before the enemy could surround him, jumped under the stage, and landed just in front of the nobles.
The pro-soldiers who were chasing after him, when they saw that there were so many nobles in front, they had no choice but to throw a mouse bogey, and did not dare to move, but they still held weapons and advanced step by step.
In the face of this unrestrained guest falling from the sky, the nobles reacted differently. Some of them had not yet come to their senses, and they were stunned, and the faint of heart were immediately beaten with fright, and the three fellows who had completely surrendered to the "Lynx" hurriedly called for soldiers to deal with Joica, while most of them were calm and maintained the proper temperament of the nobility, and some of the more daring ones walked up to Joika and took the frightened Mrs. Dunnis; among the nobles, there was one of the oldest white-bearded old men, who shouted loudly at all those with weapons, including Nemo and Joika:
"Everyone, stop me, no one is allowed to use force until things are cleared!"
The white-bearded nobleman was usually a person of great prestige in the Avenger camp, and as soon as he drank like this, the soldiers approaching with knives were shocked by his momentum, and they really didn't dare to continue to advance, and after looking at each other, they slowly lowered their weapons and formed a state of fear with Joyka.
But there was one exception, and that was the "Lynx" general Nemo. At this time, he was in a deep fight with Alice, and naturally ignored what Whitebeard said.
More than 10,000 people were stunned by this situation, so much so that in the crowd, a village girl wrapped in a turban was constantly moving her position, and no one would notice such a trivial thing.
Alice, with the "True Martial Armor" and her own outstanding fighting skills, is by no means inferior to Nemo or even above him in combat effectiveness, but due to the long period of imprisonment, it has caused great damage to her body and spirit, which directly affects her combat effectiveness. With her current disadvantage, it would be no problem to break out of the siege and escape the camp with the help of the True Martial Armor, but it would be too risky to confront Nemo, one of the four great generals of the Revenge.
The first few rounds of the two confrontation were evenly matched, and then Alice could only barely cope, and after more than ten rounds, due to the difficulty of physical and mental strength, the movements gradually slowed down, and there was a gap in the protection of the True Martial Saint Armor.
Finally, Nemo seized a gap that could not be filled with Alice's current state, deceived her attention with a series of false moves, and then hit the yellow dragon with a heavy sword!
"Ahh The True Martial Armor completely neutralized the fatal blow to the vital point for her, but it also made the armor itself exceed the limit that Alice's current mental state could sustain. The True Martial Armor covering her body became faint and transparent, and then forcibly lifted, turned into a magical form, and returned to Alice's body.
"Bobcat, I told you to stop. Although Nemo won, the nobleman of Whitebeard was very unhappy with his actions.
"That's right. I heard that. Nemo stood on the podium and looked down at the audience with a condescending look, "What do you still need to find out? Isn't it already clear that this is a conspiracy of the enemy, through the so-called 'evidence' forged, to slander me, to sabotage our great cause of recovering the country, and even to assassinate Her Royal Highness the Princess!"
"It's really going to be the wicked who sue first. Joyka sneered, "You know who wants to assassinate Sophia. Doesn't General Lynx want to explain to the nobles what you were doing with your armies last night?"
Joyka's words spoke to the hearts of these nobles. Last night, Nemo left the camp with a large number of troops without informing anyone, and by the time he returned at dawn, many soldiers had already suffered casualties. Some nobles came to inquire about the situation, and the explanation given by the "Lynx" was not satisfactory to most of the nobles. Nemo's explanation was the same as his response to Joyka: "Last night was to capture you shameless Assassins. It's a pity that you escaped at that time, but I didn't expect you to be so blind that you would dare to come again one day. ”
"Not true. Behind the white-bearded nobleman, an old nobleman with glasses came out and questioned, "If this person is really an assassin, why didn't you immediately escort Her Royal Highness the princess away just now?" Do you ignore the princess and embarrass Mrs. Dunnis in the first place? Is it in the eyes of General Lynx that the safety of Her Royal Highness is not important at all, or is the identity of Her Royal Highness the princess doubtful in the first place?"
Hearing this, Nemo was taken aback, and he quickly turned around to see the "Princess Sophia" huddled in a corner of the stage, shivering, still sitting pitifully on the tattered floor. He still hasn't sent a single soldier to protect her safety, and even in the battle with Alice just now, his sword didn't care about the "princess" next to him.
This is a very undeserved mistake! Even if it is obviously a good product, it must be treated according to the standards of the real thing, so as not to fall into the mouth, but until just now, he was thinking about how to eliminate Joyka and Alice, and he neglected this is the most important part. This mistake was too fatal. Nemo had a hundred explanations for the voices released from the Echo Stone and the nobles' doubts about last night's actions, but what he had done in full view, that is, his attitude towards "Princess Sophia", was precisely what he himself could not refute!
"Shall you say something? The bespectacled aristocrat boldly asked the "princess" for confirmation.
But "Her Royal Highness the Princess" did not answer, it should be said, she did not know how to answer at all, because the matter had reached this point, and it was completely out of all the scripts arranged for her. The dazed and helpless blonde girl had no choice but to turn her attention to the "Lynx" general for help.
But for the "Lynx", this is tantamount to a "snap" in the face of him
Nemo stood like a clay sculpture for a long time, his eyes empty of nothing.
Suddenly, he raised his sword upwards and looked at one of the trumpeters below the command platform. The trumpeter comprehended, took out the horn pinned to his waist, and raised his head to blow it.
"Woo......", "Woo......", "Woo......", "Woo......"
The majestic sound of the bugle resounded throughout the Avenger camp. Suddenly, the sand grains on the ground were beating, and the thousands of soldiers arranged around the camp heard the horn of this urgent assembly, and desperately approached the place where the 10,000-person assembly was located.
"Lynx, what do you want to do?"
In the face of such a military situation, there is no one more nervous than those nobles. The white-bearded nobleman questioned sharply.
"Old man, what does he want to do, do you still need to ask?" Joika sneered, "The trick has failed, of course it will be hard." ”
