Book 1: Believers in Light Chapter 36: Pillar of Death
Arthur stood in the middle of the crowd, sensing a hint of danger, the moment Marcos left the dueling arena. As a warrior's instinct, Arthur knew that if he didn't leave in time, he would definitely die on the side of the dueling arena. Without hesitation, Arthur and Frog both warned the audience to leave the dueling arena in advance. It's a pity that most of these audiences are ordinary people, and they don't have the sensitive sense of Arthur, and the swordsmen or spies mixed in with them either run for their lives alone, or they don't realize the danger coming.
With a loud explosion, a huge green pillar of fire burst through the ground from the bottom of the dueling arena and soared into the sky, standing on the dueling arena, and Froga was entangled by Edward at the moment when he wanted to escape from the dueling arena. When the chance of escape is fleeting, the slightest delay will cost people their lives, so Froga and Edward are directly swallowed by this green pillar of fire.
After the pillar of fire erupted from the ground, the entire ground also began to shake and break, and many civilians who could not dodge were directly swallowed by the gushing magma, and for a while, screams, curses, and wails rose one after another in the dueling arena. Roger smashed a flying stone, then looked at the pillar of fire that was still there, and couldn't help but laugh. He led the people of the Best family to walk on the magma as if they were walking on the ground, and came to the stands of the dueling arena. With a slight bow, Roger, who was extremely gentlemanly, spoke: "Lord Gust Stanford, my dear Nimmit, how is this fireworks show? Fu does not meet the appetite of the two adults?" Gust Stanford sat in his seat, his face was cloudy, he never thought that the Best family would ignore the honor of the noble duel, and directly kill Froga with the killer. Nimith also sat quietly in his seat, expressionless, without the slightest sorrow about the uncertainty of Froga's life and death. "Don't our Lord Nimith grieve the death of his son? Or is this son just a pawn of Lord Nimit, and I don't know where to find the wild seeds?" Roger didn't see the expression he wanted to see on Gustanford or Nimmit's face, and was a little disappointed.
"Lord Roger is really a good means, such a preparation for my son Froga is probably really nine deaths. Nimmit's voice seemed to be emotionless, and when it came to Froga's death, it was extremely flat. "Looking at the appearance of Lord Nimit, Froga is really a wild seed from nowhere, and since the culprit who destroyed the friendship between the Adomondo family and the Best family is dead, perhaps we can talk about restoring the friendship between the two families to its original state. I wonder what Master Gust Stanford and Master Nimmit think?" Roger's tone was respectful, but the arrogant expression on his face betrayed him. "Is it so that Lord Roger thinks that my son Froga will die in the fire, and is Lord Roger underestimating my Adomondo family?"
Nimmit's words sounded like a wake-up call, making Roger vigilant, what Nimmit said was right, after all, the Adomondo family was the leading tyrant in Banyas City and even the entire continent, and there must be something on Floga's body that could stop the attack of the dead fire. However, thinking of his hole cards, Roger was determined in his heart, no matter what tricks the Adomondo family had, as long as that person's promise was still there, as long as he was still willing to help, then the Best family would not perish, and even annex the Adomondo family to further enhance the power of the Best family.
Just when Roger imagined that the Best family would become the most powerful family on the continent of Elda under his leadership, Nimmit's words made Roger fall into an ice cellar. "Mistress Roger wants to wait for Master Austin to come and take control of me, and then seek the wealth of the Adomondo family?" Nirmit smiled slightly, then stood up and walked in front of Roger, "What you did to me twenty years ago, you think I don't know? You're underestimating me too much!" Roger shuddered as he watched the cold words come out of the mouth of his former best friend, "How do you know that your father promised me." Nimmit looked at Roger in disappointment, and instead of answering his stupid question, he wanted to walk to the right side of the dueling arena, "Master Austin, you have worked hard. As soon as Nimmit's words fell, Austin appeared in front of everyone in a gray-white robe, "Nimit, I have completed your request, and I will not be involved in the rest of the matter." It is enough to inform me of what you said when you are ready. Austin casually glanced at the crowd and then turned away. "Master Austin, how could you ......" Austin, who was far away, didn't hear Roger's shout at all.
Watching Austin's figure disappear from his sight, Roger experienced a feeling that he had never experienced before, probably despair. The pillar of fire that erupted gradually faded after Austin left, revealing the wide ball inside the pillar of fire, and Froga stood in the wide ball with a relaxed expression and looked at the people in front of the stands, while Edward was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing that Froga, who was supposed to die in the dead fire, was also alive at the moment, Roger knew that he had completely lost, and the Best family was completely finished.
However, when people are desperate, they will act beyond their control, and they will also burst out with power that they have never had before. Roger, who was originally elegant and easy-going, watched as the wide ball carrying Froga floated to Nimmit's side, and then shattered. Looking at Froga, who was not hurt by the death fire, Roger's eyes instantly turned red, and fierce fighting spirit gushed out from Roger's body, clean and neat, the sword in Roger's hand was wrapped in fighting energy, and stabbed Nemmit's heart fiercely.
There was a crisp metal crash, and Roger's sword was blocked by a metal plate three centimeters from the heart of Nimit. Seeing that the assassination failed, Roger retreated directly into the crowd of the Best family. "Roger, is that all you have to do? Who gave you the audacity to dare to provoke the Adomondo family?" Nimmit's mocking words made Roger's old face blush, it is true that this kind of power is not enough to defeat the Adomondo family, but as long as it is defeated. Roger wanted Charrick's eyes to signal, and Charric, who had long wanted to act, saw his father's signal, and immediately took out his staff and launched a fireball into the air.
As the fireball exploded in the sky, in the alley on the outskirts of the dueling arena, the sound of uniform steps could be heard. "Nimitte, I'm going to leave you dead today!" Appearing on the periphery of the arena were a uniform group of sergeants, in front of them stood heavy infantry in heavy shields and heavy armor, followed by archers in leather armor and longbows, and behind the archers were a small number of mages, most of them in gray and black robes.
Seeing that he was surrounded, Nimit didn't have a trace of worry, but smiled, "I didn't expect the Best family to gather the strength of the whole family to gather this person, it really disappointed me." This scene is shabby. Roger. Roger ignored Nimitt's words, and assumed them to be his last words. "Ready, put. With a command, the archers in the middle of the queue drew their longbows and fired, and the sky in front of the Nemites' people was obscured by the flying arrows!
"Father!" Froga saw the countless arrows flying towards him, and anxiously tried to pull Nimith away to dodge, but was stopped by Nimit, "My child, please watch the show quietly." ”
As if time stood still, the arrows suddenly came to a standstill after shooting into the sky above Nimit and the others, and then as if the gravitational pull of the ground strengthened, all the arrows shook and fell as if they were drunk, without causing any damage to Nimit and Floga. Standing outside the dueling arena, Arthur originally wanted to rush into the arena to help Froga block the arrows, but when he saw that all the arrows had fallen, he walked to Froga and Nemmit's side in no hurry.
When Stanford saw Arthur's arrival, he hurriedly saluted, "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Nimitte bowed in the same way as Floga. When Arthur saw that Gust Stanford and Uncle Nimit were about to salute him, he hurriedly stopped: "Uncle Gust and Uncle Nimit, please don't do this. I'm a tourist now, please don't do that. "Your Royal Highness, please go to a safe place, it is not safe at this moment. "When Ancient Stanford wanted Arthur to leave, he himself wanted to leave this place of right and wrong. But Arthur didn't seem to perceive what Ancient Stanford meant, "Uncle Ancient Stanford, I am not involved now as the prince of the Kingdom of Ovit, but as a friend of Floga, please rest assured, uncle, I will take care of my safety." Seeing that Arthur was so puzzled, Gu Stanford had no choice but to give up.
Seeing that the first wave of attacks was completely ineffective, Roger was not discouraged, after all, it was strange that the Adomondo family was not prepared. It's not scary to be prepared, it depends on whether your preparation can withstand my attack. With Charlik's order, the mages standing at the end of the team began to attack, and all the mages chanted the fireball spell in unison, and dozens of basketball-sized fireballs shot towards Froga and the others with billowing heat.
This time, as if they were testing their martial arts, Froga and Arthur jumped up directly, ready to intercept the fireball. Pulling the lion's fangs from his waist, a fireball exploded right before Arthur's eyes. And Froga on the side was not ambiguous, the cold ice in his hand emitted a faint blue light, and the three fireballs were defeated in an instant. Arthur saw that Froga was far ahead of him, and he also sped up. So under the competition between Arthur and Floga, the fireball had already been destroyed before it fell.
Seeing that the second wave of attacks was also stopped by Froga and Arthur, Roger was a little anxious at the moment. If the heavy infantry had attacked in person, it would probably not have been enough to kill Froga and Nemiter. Just as Roger was thinking about what to do next, Arthur and Floga, who felt that their passive defense was too poor, had already attacked the heavy infantry team at full speed. Seeing that Arthur and the others didn't know whether they were alive or dead, Roger couldn't help but sneer, he really wanted to do something. Roger directly ordered the archers and mages to go all out against Arthur and Floga.
Thus, a bitter battle is about to begin.
