Chapter Twenty-Three: Breakthrough

In fact, even if Zhu Laosi didn't deliberately hold back Ning Le and the girl, they didn't have time to retreat at all.

Because, the legendary city defense moved surprisingly fast. Before Ning Le could react, a team of people surrounded the entire ruined temple.

"The city defense is on business, and the people inside are listening! Put down your weapons and come out honestly. ”

Soon, a shrill shout came from outside the temple: "If you still try to resist stubbornly, you will be executed on the spot!"

Zhu Laosi, who was at the gate of the temple, heard this shout, but his expression suddenly relaxed, signaled all the minions to give up resistance, and then changed to a flattering smile, and walked out with two subordinates: "Oh! It turned out that Team Zhang was here." Haha, such a big battle, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding - uh. ”

The awkward laughter came to an abrupt end. Because Zhu Laosi and the others had just walked out of the broken temple, the tips of several spears were pressed against their necks.

"Team Zhang, who are you?" said Zhu Laosi with a dry smile.

"It's Deputy Zhang. One of them slowly stepped out of the crowd and corrected in his shrill voice, "The guard station has received a report from the people that there is a small disturbance of the law near the river temple. Looks like that's you, right?"

Zhu Laosi's reluctant smile froze on his face. This Zhang Ting is very talkative on weekdays, and he called himself a brother when he was drunk last time. Why did you suddenly change to this businesslike tone today, as if you didn't know yourself at all?

The girl pulled Ning Le and followed out of the broken temple honestly, and just happened to bump into this scene, she couldn't help muttering like Zhu Laosi.

She has also heard about the personal relationship between Vice Captain Zhang Ting and Zhu Laosi. When she first found out that it was Zhang Ting, she thought that this team of city guards was called by Zhu Laosi to help.

But now it seems......

"Tsk. Ning Le smacked his tongue, and suddenly said for no reason, "It's really difficult." ”

"What?" the girl looked at him puzzled.

"Nothing. Ning Le chuckled, but his gaze was at the city defense not far away, "It is worthy of being one of the four poles of the Yandao, the Heavenly Forging Fort, it is really wealthy!"

These city guards are dressed in neat standard black armor, even if they hold fluorite as a light source, these black armor is still dull, so that in this night, almost no one can see the appearance of the city guards, but like a group of ghost Shura, low-key and hideous.

The atmosphere at the scene was solemn and depressing, if it was an ordinary person, if they encountered this scene, they would not dare to come out, how could they still have the heart of resistance.

There are many materials with this "light absorption" property, but the ones that can be mass-produced, as far as Ning Le knows, are only one of Youluo Rock. But this is just a rock, not malleable or thermoplastic, and the material is brittle, so it certainly cannot be used to forge armor. Therefore, Ning Le speculated that the Heavenly Forging Fort should have ground the Youluo Rock into powder and then attached it to the surface of the armor.

However, there is another characteristic of this Yuluo rock, that is, it is very dense. Even if only a thin layer is attached to the surface of the armor, the weight of this armor will increase significantly.

The cost of making standard armor needs to be controlled, and it is natural that rare metals that are light and strong will not be used as materials. As soon as Ning Le heard the sound of the city's defense action, he knew that the main material for building these black armors was just steel.

Since the defensive performance of the armor is to be ensured, the amount of steel used to make the armor is indispensable, and then a layer of phantom rock powder is attached to its surface...... Ordinary young men wearing such armor still want to act flexibly on their own? That can only be a fool's dream.

So how can we solve the weight problem of the black armor? Ning Le already had the answer in his heart - naturally he relied on the work of the built-in machine to bear the weight. Didn't the girl mention it just now, these black armors are armors that ordinary young people can control, and it is impossible that there will be no built-in energy source.

And this energy source is a real consumable. By controlling the supply of energy sources, a single family can easily control these heavily armed city defenses.

It's just that in this way, the maintenance cost of these equipment for city defense is much higher than that of ordinary armor.

But who made the single family a wealthy family on the mainland? rich and capricious.

"Hey, are you ready?" The girl was not in such a good mood as Ning Le, and she was also interested in commenting on the equipment of the city defense. Seeing that the negotiations between Zhu Laosi and Zhang Ting broke down, she was about to be arrested, and she hurriedly whispered.

Sure enough, Zhu Laosi, who had just been set up by the city guards, immediately turned his head and pointed at the two of them, and said hysterically: "Zhang-deputy team! That chick and her accomplices are the thieves who stole the thirty-six weapons of Qiancao in the Golden Scale Pavilion today!"

"Let's go!" At the same time, Ning Le grabbed the girl's arm, and a little thug who dodged and overturned the little thug next to him who didn't have time to react, and rushed straight to the relatively weak place surrounded by the city defenses on the side.

Zhang Ting was stunned, and saw that Ning Le was moving very fast, and he had already exchanged hands with the city guards at the other end, so he hurriedly shouted: "Take them down!"

A team of men and horses immediately separated from the city defense, and rushed towards Ning Le and the others as promised.

Ning Le would not fight with these city guards, dragging the girl to rush left and right in the crowd. Occasionally, when an attack hits, he only parries it slightly, and then uses his strength to fly back.

The girl was not idle, and from time to time she switched positions with Ning Le, and steel needles flew out from her sleeves, focusing on the opponent's relatively weakly protected face. Although the vision at night is very poor, and the defense of the city is full of shadows, causing the girl's attack crosshair to be unstable, there are still several people who were accidentally hit and fell to the ground screaming.

"Hey, just let them not catch up, don't be too ruthless. Ning Le couldn't help frowning.

"Do you think this girl wants to do this? These guys are like a tin can all over their bodies, and it makes sense to attack other parts?" the girl called Qu. Just now, she couldn't help but kill Zhu Laosi's gangsters, how could she be willing to form a bond with the city defense?

This kind of thing doesn't want to happen.

Ning Le didn't say anything more, snatched a steel needle from the girl's finger with his backhand, and threw it out without looking back.

A scream came. The girl turned her head to look, only to see a city guard clutching his knees and falling to the ground. The steel needle that Ning Le threw out was actually pierced through the gap in the knee joint of the armor.

The girl's mouth opened slightly, and her face was incredulous.

"Give me two more. Ning Le didn't answer, just stretched out his hand to the girl.

“...... Nope. The girl flicked her sleeve in a sloppy manner.

Ning Le was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked again: "Then do you have any other weapons?"

The girl took out two small and cute beetles, and smiled politely and awkwardly at Ning Le.

“...... Well, I didn't expect you to help in the first place. Ning Le pursed his lips and swung the slash again.

"Huh?

When the girl heard this, she immediately retorted angrily: "Without this girl, you are still angry?"

That Yunling Pill is a rare elixir produced by the Thousand Grass Pavilion, and the amount of finished products made every year is counted, and it is not too much to say that it has a price and no market. Just let you swallow it, this girl still feels painful!

"Attention. Ning Le suddenly let out a low voice, grabbed the girl's arm and shook it violently. Before the girl could understand what had happened, the whole person rose into the air, tumbling and flying into the distance.

"I-" The girl wanted to scold the street, because she knew that her landing position was anything but elegant.

But soon, shaking her head and staggering to her feet, she found that she was now outside the siege of the city defenses.

"Why are you still stunned. ”

A figure passed by her quickly, but the voice was fading away: "If you don't run anymore, the master can't control you." ”

Blinking his big eyes and looking at Ning Le, who ran away in an instant, he looked back at the city defense that was quickly catching up, how dare the girl slack off, and ran away.
