Volume 2 Blood and Yellow Sands Chapter 18 After the War
After Dasil's defeat, the squad of foot knights who remained on the beach could not escape the fate of being completely annihilated. They have turned into bloody spots for the contractors.
Zhou Qi did not participate in the final encirclement and suppression battle. Instead, under the protection of the Silver Fox Team and Xia Ruobing, he recovered from his injuries.
The grief caused by the death of the big head was hidden deep in the hearts of all the members of the Silver Fox team. Zhou Qifen's reckless challenge to Dasil and avenging the big head also won their favor and respect. After Fu Yunsheng woke up Zhou Qi, he reached out and touched his fist with him, looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
For Xia Ruobing, the last sailboat was sunk. Although most people were surprised that she was able to return unharmed, especially in the face of such a violent explosion. But knowing that she had escaped the dagger, Fu Yunsheng and the others took it for granted. On the contrary, they felt very incomprehensible about the last Netherworld warrior to appear. But I know that this must have something to do with Zhou Qi.
It wasn't until he took out Hamel's shrunken skull under the threat of Xia Ruobing that the truth came to light. They were amazed. Summoning items are also extremely expensive in the market. Especially an assassin-type humanoid summon like the Nether Knight. It can be described as rare.
A battle that ends dramatically, but also closes the distance between people. What could be stronger than the camaraderie and trust forged on a battlefield of blood and fire? Of course, this does not include Yang Siwei and others, who have been eyeing him from afar.
As for Firth and others, the linear mode of thinking of Westerners does not have too many twists and turns. A lot of things don't need to be overly complicated. Of course, it is impossible to treat them as complete fools.
Take advantage of the leisure time to recuperate. Zhou Qi opened the silver treasure chest with anticipation. The first piece of equipment he saw surprised him.
"Contractor No. 5106 obtains Executor's Gauntlet, Item Level: Green Rare (1/4 Set), Gear Position: Hands. Equipping the wearer adds 5 to strength and 5 to agility. Item Effect 1, which increases movement and attack speed by 20%, triggers when equipping 2 Executor sets. Item Effect 2: The wearer can use the Frenzy Skill (Active) to increase the attack by 50%, and at the same time, within 5 seconds after launching the Frenzy, the attack will be 100% critical. This effect triggers when 4 Executioner sets are equipped. This powerful set of magical equipment is an executioner's induction permit......... Equipment Requirements: Strength 15 Constitution 15. ”
It's actually a set of components again! Zhou Qi hurriedly equipped himself. Just two Executioner sets increased his strength by as much as 10 points. And the incidental attack and movement speed are exactly what he desperately needs at the moment.
"Contractor No. 5106 obtains the skill scroll Shattering, and the item level is golden and rare. Effect 1: Hammer the ground with a weapon or both hands, dealing 150% attack damage (with a bonus to the Strength stat). Effect 2: Reduces the target's movement speed by 50% for 1 minute. Consumes 15 energy points each time. Cooldown time is 5 minutes. Originally just a magical skill for demolishing buildings, you deserve ......"
It's the skill that almost killed him in the last moment! The most rare thing is that it integrates killing and control. Compared to Insight, it's generally worthy of the Golden Rarity rating. Zhou Qi thought about it for a while, and decided to give the scroll to Xia Ruobing. This skill is more appropriate for her to use than for herself. In addition, this time, it was fortunate that the woman reached out to the rescue at the last moment. Otherwise, no matter how many artifacts there are, they will not be blessed.
There is one more item in the chest. It's also a scroll that radiates magical brilliance. It seems that the Nightmare Space also has a strict division in terms of the production rate of the box. The general gray wooden box and iron treasure chest can basically open about 2 items of the corresponding level, and you can get a cross-level item by breaking out of character. It's like your own dragon shield and the Executor's belt.
The silver chest, on the other hand, can produce three pieces of golden-level equipment. I wonder what color chest Xerxes would give if I killed him? Well, it seems that I am thinking too much again. Just one of the emperor's generals allowed himself to die. Not to mention the existence of this seemingly ultimate boss.
"Ares' will. Item Type: Scroll. Item Class: Purple Epic. All allied units are blessed by Ares, the god of war. Temporarily increases Attack by 50, Defense by 30, HP by 100, and restores HP by 5 per minute while the skill lasts. This item is a one-time item. ”
Two words, powerful! See another explosion of character! Zhou Qi's face was full of surprise. This is the highest-level item you've ever acquired! A strategic scroll. If you use it at a critical time, it can completely play a role in turning things around.
"Dad, are you okay?" At this time, Xia Ruobing walked over, looked at Zhou Qi with a strange face, and asked loudly.
"It's okay, it's okay! By the way, this is for you. Zhou Qiqiang held back the joy in his heart. Hurriedly handed over the skill scroll that shook the earth.
"Huh? Not bad! This matches my sister's style very well. Thanks! Xia Ruobing took it and looked at it, and immediately learned the skills as soon as he tore his hands. With a smug smile on his face, he turned around and left. In Zhou Qi's eyes, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like he is laughing heartlessly.
"Contractor No. 5106 has completed the first phase of the mission, defending the Hellesbang Strait. Stick to the coastline for 24 hours. The second stage of the mission begins.
Stage 2 Main Quest 1: Arrive at the Spartan city of the Laconian Plain and meet King Leonidas. The duration of the mission is 7 days. Mission Failure Obliteration!
The second stage of the main quest two: assist King Leonidas and defend the hot springs. The time limit is 48 hours. Leonidas must survive within the time limit. Mission Failure Obliteration! ”
All the contractors let out a long sigh of relief. The first phase of the task has finally come to an end. But in the second stage, the two blood-red erasure words were like two heavy boulders pressing on everyone's hearts.
Zhou Qi pondered for a moment, then raised his feet and walked towards Daisos, who was gathering troops.
"Daisos, how long does it take to get from here to Sparta?"
"Honorable messenger, it will take two days at the speed of the march?" Dessos replied earnestly with a reverent face.
"Two days? Are you sure? Zhou Qi lowered his head and thought for a moment.
"If you follow the speed of the messenger, you can reach it in one day."
"Okay, I got it. Are you going to Hot Springs? ”
"Yes, messenger. The slaves will go to Thermopylae to assist in the defense, and I will go to Sparta and report all the news here to the great Leonidas. ”
Zhou Qi ended the questioning, sent Daissos away, and then walked quickly towards Fu Yunsheng. I told him what I had just learned.
"Judging from the time limit given by the space, there are a lot of articles here! Could it be? Fu Yunsheng frowned and thought for a moment. looked up at Zhou Qi.
"It should be time for us to prepare!"
"Hmmm! I think so too. What else, you tell me about it? ”
"I can't say the specifics, but I think we should get over as soon as possible. Go to Sparta and look for clues. ”
After some discussion between Fu Yunsheng and Fels, the contractors made sure that the Persians on the sea had no intention of pursuing, and quickly withdrew from the beach with the remnants of the Greek city-state coalition army and rushed all the way to Hot Springs.
At the same time, eight contractors appeared on the road from Athens to Sparta. This is the group of people who have teleported to the city of Athens.
"Brother Hu, according to me, it is enough for me and Shura to find someone in the past, is it worth so much effort for a newcomer with initial difficulty?" It was the short, thin man who had been called Pocket Knife before. He complained to the tall man he called Brother Tiger, and his eyes kept glancing at the towering breasts of the two women in the group.
"Knives! Believe it or not, the old lady gouged out your dog's eyes! One of them, I couldn't stand his obscene gaze, and couldn't help but want to rush over and do it.
"Okay, Blue Moon, it's not like you don't know, this dog's day is this stinky problem." Shura hurriedly grabbed Blue Moon.
"Hmph, we stabbing tigers are too many scum like this!"
"Huh? Blue Moon, do you have an opinion about me as the captain? The one called Brother Tiger stopped and turned his head to look at Blue Moon. It was the tall man with a beard on his face.
"No, Boss! Who is my Blue Moon, you don't know yet? If it weren't for you helping me, I wouldn't be where I am today. I just can't stand this kid's lustful face. ”
"yes, I see. Thorn tigers don't raise useless people, this is clear to everyone. I took the knife for my own reasons. Maybe it won't be long before you know. After the so-called Tiger Brother finished speaking to Lan Yue, he turned around and glared at the knife fiercely.
"You don't need me to remind you of the importance of that thing, do I? A must-have! As for the kid surnamed Zhou, Mo Li, I'll leave it to you when the time comes. ”
"Well, it's still the boss who is the most considerate!" Molly threw a flying kiss at him. The tip of his tongue licked his sexy red lips. I don't know what I thought, and my face was flushed.
The seductive and sultry gesture fell in the eyes of several other people, but it made them shiver. Even the knife didn't dare to look at her again.
Zhou Qi still knows nothing about all this. After some hurried travel, he was standing in front of a cliff near Hot Spring Pass, with his back to the sea. Looking up at this dangerous place that has left a lot of ink in history.
As shown in the movie "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta", this narrow passage facing the sea on one side and the cliffs on the other was the gateway of Persia to central Greece. It is named after the local sulphur hot springs. No wonder Leonidas, who was about to meet, with only 300 strong men, blocked the advance of the mighty Persians.
History is about to repeat itself once again. Only this time he didn't exist as a spectator.
