Chapter 4 Do You Have a Shield?
The "Battle of the Frontier" was provoked by the barbarians in the south, and the Shengxiao Empire had no defense against it. In other words, the Shengxiao Empire had never regarded those mud monkey-like barbarians in the south as intelligent creatures at all, so naturally there was no vigilance.
Although the Shengxiao Empire did not deploy a defensive army on the edge of the jungle in the south, the first generation of mercenary kings happened to lead his mercenary group "National Barrier" to carry out resource exploration tasks in the jungle in the south.
After the establishment of the mercenary system, it was the first mercenary group to raise the level of the mercenary group to the top level, and the scale of the "Barrier of the Country" mercenary group was almost the same as that of a legion. When the mercenaries in the jungle discovered the traces of the invading barbarians, the first mercenary king, His Excellency, immediately judged that this was a despicable invasion war with his excellent sense of war. He sent people to quickly ask for help from the nearest garrison of the Shengxiao Empire, and led his "National Barrier" mercenary group to engage in fierce battles against barbarian enemies several times his size in the Red Banana Rainforest area.
When the army of the Shengxiao Empire arrived, the "National Barrier" mercenary group had already suffered heavy losses, but they successfully dragged the barbarian army in the red banana rainforest, so that they did not enter the territory of the Shengxiao Empire to burn, kill and loot.
The rest of the matter is simple, the two legions of the Shengxiao Empire brought out the "National Barrier" mercenary group that had been seriously reduced in strength to drive the barbarian army out of the red banana rainforest, and swept the barbarian territory all the way with these routs, almost defeating all the resistance of the barbarians.
At this point in the battle, even the brave and ruthless barbarians knew that they could not do anything. The previous barbarian king was beheaded by his youngest son, and the newly succeeded barbarian king took his father's head and ran to the Shengxiao Empire to beg for peace with the emperor at that time.
Of course, the Shengxiao Empire couldn't let go of this group of mud monkeys who provoked the war so easily, and with this great victory, the Shengxiao Empire asked the barbarians to compress their range of activities to a hundred kilometers south of the Red Banana Rainforest, which extended the previous southern sphere of influence of the Shengxiao Empire to the south by nearly three hundred kilometers. At the same time, the Shengxiao Empire took advantage of this historical event to completely establish its own national borders, and in the form of a national letter, all the territories north of the Red Banana Rainforest were assigned to themselves, and these places had not been clearly determined before.
Because of this war, the Shengxiao Empire gained a large amount of territory, although these territories were all barbaric lands that did not make a difference between existence and none, and before that, these places were originally within the sphere of influence of the Shengxiao Empire...... The greater significance of this incident is that for the first time, the Shengxiao Empire clearly demarcated its own national boundary, starting from this incident, the Shengxiao Empire began to clarify its national boundary inch by inch, hanging the surrounding barbarians all over again, and at the same time receiving several times the useless land that was even several times larger than the Shengxiao Empire's gradually prosperous Middle Earth. As the national boundaries of the Shengxiao Empire were gradually determined, the Shengxiao Empire also clarified its hegemony on this continent, from the strongest who was tacitly accepted to the strongest who was recognized as the strongest, accepting tribute from countless small barbarian countries, just like the ancient Celestial Empire, becoming a "Heavenly Empire" where all nations came to court.
And this war, which made the Shengxiao Empire completely strong, is also known as the "Battle of Dividing Territory" in history.
As a force that shined in the "Battle of the Frontier", the "Fortress of the Country" mercenary group became a model for the common people of the empire, and the first mercenary king was canonized as the count of the empire, which can be described as soaring. But except for the Goddess Praetorian Guard, there are very few immortal species in the world, even if they are long-lived immortal species, the lifespan is thousands of years at most. As the life of the first mercenary king came to an end, the legend of the "Barrier of the Country" mercenary group finally came to an end, and they became a monument in the mercenary world for people to commemorate and remember.
However, the members of the "Barrier of the Kingdom" mercenary group who had died had become heroic spirits guarding the border between the present world and the realm of death, something that Chu Feiyue had never heard of before. With their achievements during their lifetime, of course, they are qualified to become Heroic Spirits, but if they want to become Heroic Spirits, they not only need to have great achievements, but also need to have thoughts about this life and are unwilling to die. As a national hero who was promoted and raised his salary to marry Bai Fumei to the pinnacle of his life and got a good death, what else can they not let go?
At this moment when Chu Feiyue was thinking about the birth of a person, the blood-obsessive Lyman on the opposite side launched several more attacks on Chu Feiyue, but Chu Feiyue was no longer what it used to be, and this level of attack couldn't even shake Chu Feiyue's magic shield, and of course there was no way to make him interested in dealing with it.
But this guy going back and forth in front of him is actually quite annoying. His combat quality is actually not bad, and all kinds of combos are impressive, but the absolute attack strength is insufficient, and even Chu Feiyue's defense can't be broken. From Chu Feiyue's point of view, this blood-holding man was not so much attacking as playing a monkey show...... Maybe you should throw him ten coppers to encourage him?
Chu Feiyue used a great storm to repel the blood-wielding Lyman, and then snapped his fingers, summoning hundreds of fireballs, and threw them at the black-armored little brother.
With the blood volume of the level 70 golden boss of the blood-wielding Lyman, these fireballs should not be able to kill him. After all, it was Chu Feiyue's casual attack, although the level 70 golden boss was nothing to Chu Feiyue, but it would not be to the point where it could be solved with a casual shot.
Of course, there are actually a lot of lethal weaknesses of humanoid monsters, and if you happen to blow up your neck or something, it's not that you can't have a second kill effect, but the probability is a little lower.
However, Chu Feiyue's attack did not fall on the blood-holding man in the end, and when the fireball smashed over, another heroic spirit jumped out of another space, raised the giant shield in his hand like a door panel, and blocked all the fireballs.
Although the shield-wielding heroic spirit was also shaken back several meters away because of this, leaving two traces on the ground that were deeply embedded in the dirt, Chu Feiyue knew that his casual attack was completely ineffective.
The smoke caused by the fireball explosion gradually dissipated, and Chu Feiyue frowned slightly as he looked at the newly appeared shield-wielding brother ♂ Gui and the black-armored little brother beside him.
Although I also know that when the three-dimensional world is compressed into two dimensions, the solidity of the space will also be greatly reduced. But no matter what, it's too dangerous to let people who don't have spatial attributes control the ability to jump in space, right?
When the first Heroic Spirit, the Blood Bearer Ryman, suddenly appeared, Chu Feiyue only had a vague conjecture. But after seeing the appearance of the second Heroic Spirit "Bron the Defender", the conjecture in Chu Feiyue's heart was finally confirmed.
Near the junction of reality and the realm of death, the three-dimensional world is compressed into two dimensions, and everything is presented on a single plane. But these faces are not unique, they are just not connected to each other.
The reason why Chu Feiyue didn't see anyone when she first came here was because those heroic spirits stationed here were actually staying in other "faces". However, as the guardians here, these heroic spirits who were active in ancient times have the ability to shuttle back and forth between these "faces", and they can jump from the inner "faces" to the outer "faces" and suddenly appear at the enemy's side to attack.
But Chu Feiyue was sure that they didn't have a talent for space. Although they can shuttle between "faces" and "faces", this ability should not be something they possess, but someone should give them "permission".
As for who it is, don't you understand......
No wonder the modern heroic spirits and the ancient heroic spirits have to be separated, this kind of ghost place where even the world is two-dimensional, if you want to play, you must have a strong bloodline talent, and it is impossible for humans to adapt to it.
So, how many of these ancient spirits are there that can jump from other worlds? Chu Feiyue tried to communicate with the new "Bulon the Resistant", but unfortunately failed, just like the original "Ryman the Bloodkiller".
Chu Feiyue really couldn't imagine that the ancient heroic spirits were uncommunicative beings, obviously even the modern heroic spirits who were worse than them could talk and laugh with themselves, what was wrong with this?
When the Heroic Spirits that needed to be faced became two, Chu Feiyue's pressure ...... Well, he still didn't feel any pressure. After all, the newly jumped out Heroic Spirit was a shield-wielding, not only could his agility not catch up with Chu Feiyue, but the only means of attack was to slap the shield. In general, not a threat.
But his support skills were more annoying, and almost all of Chu Feiyue's attacks were blocked by him with that big and terrifying shield. Although Chu Feiyue had not tried Shenwei to obliterate these penetrating magic, attacks such as fireballs, ice arrows, and wind blades had no effect on that shield, which made Chu Feiyue a little troubled.
But at least so far, there is no difficulty overall, it's just that Chu Feiyue hasn't sacrificed his big skills yet.
The reason why he didn't use big skills to bombard these two ancient heroic spirits was because Chu Feiyue still had some doubts about the existence form of these heroic spirits. He wasn't quite sure if these two Heroic Spirits were civil servants on the books, if they were the gatekeepers set up here in the Death Realm, then Chu Feiyue's position to kill them would become very embarrassing.
But they can't communicate, which is just too much trouble. Because of this unknown, Chu Feiyue planned to capture them first, and then make other considerations.
However, before that, Chu Feiyue had to face a more practical problem. How many of the "Barriers of the Nation" mercenary group have been transformed into heroic spirits?
