Chapter 182: The Power of the Demon Hunter
The sun was about to set, and the fire that had been burning all day was about to be extinguished.
"Before dusk, the fire will be extinguished."
That's how Kessler's first race was predicted against Stegrenburg.
As he expected, as the sun fell, so did the firelight.
His deep understanding of fire is also a testament to the firebreaks he dug, and he protects a quarter of the city with precision.
This is impressive, but the most impressive thing is, of course, this clean victory.
Steglenburg was given accurate maps and competent guides, and the enemy's resistance was largely as expected without incident.
Wu Xin planned the strategy properly, and Steglenburg only needed to strictly implement the tactics to easily include the victory.
His identification with the Wu Xin Group has risen dramatically, and this identification has declined slightly recently.
Wu Xin summoned him for a solo dinner, and after three rounds of drinking, Wu Xin hinted that he should associate with several Mistresses of the Godafi tribe at the same time, and that he should have a more flexible attitude towards monogamy.
This incident made him very uncomfortable.
Several sisters who survived the catastrophe were wiser, except for one who resolutely chose a "backbone" warrior of his tribe as her husband, and everyone else obeyed Wu Xin's pressure.
They realized that their limited power would eventually be swallowed up by Wu Xin, and it was not enough to marry Wu Xin directly, so they all chose Stegrenburg.
Women certainly want monogamy, it's just that the other two options are worse.
Although Wu Xin thought at first that it was okay to marry any of his subordinates, the operation of power has its own rules, and Wu Xin decided to abide by this change.
Going with the flow can reduce a lot of obstacles.
Most of the knights and apprentices of the Knights Hospitaller were unmarried, and many of them refused to renounce their vows, and the status of mistress was something that those women with rich dowries were unwilling to accept. Unless the man is of high status.
Wu Xin was also reluctant to openly draw a line with the Knights Hospitaller, and chastity was an oath made by every Knights Hospitaller.
Only old Dverrich and Cassano, satisfied those women.
Old Deverichy was indispensable, and he didn't even care that the young ladies kept their secret lovers, which allowed him to get two sisters too.
Cassano, on the other hand, was in trouble, insisting that he would not give up his oath. Even the status of an official mistress is not open.
Wu Xin has no way to take him for the time being, but fortunately, the lady is still relatively young and can wait for a while, Wu Xin doesn't believe that he can't corrupt Cassano.
Leaders can't corrupt their subordinates, so what else is Wu Xin messing with?
Such a good thing was also not acceptable to Stegrenburg, because the church of Bann, like the church of Shirek, was strict about monogamy.
In addition, Wu Xin also allowed these women to retain their Xingyue beliefs.
So he ignored Wu Xin's hints and rejected Wu Xin's suggestion, and Wu Xin finally decided to issue an order.
He doesn't have Cassano's status after all.
Wu Xin's final plan is undoubtedly to directly control the people owned by these women. Those camels and the population are what he needs.
Unlike the stubborn Cassano.
He finally accepted Wu Xin's single platoon, and an order is an order.
As a Bane, he could not refuse orders, and he reluctantly lived a corrupt life.
This is characteristic of all Bane believers, as long as the superiors are truly capable and the orders received do not directly endanger their lives.
Even if the logic is not very clear, they will still obey and carry out the orders he has been given with enthusiasm.
Many Zuwara residents are crying in despair. They could not find a soldier who could defend them.
Steglenburg sent Colmona trainees to whip them, because weeping men lose their stamina. Women lose their looks.
This is not good for their price, and this damages Wu Xin's property.
While the slaves were beaten, the inhabitants who had been given their guarantors were unchained, but their attempts to get their furniture back were severely discouraged.
He took a serious look at the warrant that Wu Xin had left for him, and then shouted, "Put down that burden, Lord Xibo has only pardoned your body. There is no forgiveness of your property! ”
"It's ridiculous................ "The residents protested, of course.
However, Colmona soon came over with a whip, but she basically beat the residents who did not have a guarantor, and Colmona knew that those were slaves, and these were the people that Wu Xin needed to absorb.
The residents watched as their neighbors, who were still tied up, being beaten and rolling on the ground. Eventually, the inhabitants accepted the outcome honestly.
Of course, Wu Xin will not give them a way to live, but Wu Xin cannot allow the original social structure to continue to exist.
And when they arrive at the port of Tripoli, they will also be given land and huts in the village.
Although there is still a queue after all, it is difficult to freeze to death in the winter in the port of Tripoli, and it is not a big problem.
This process of taking back and then giving grace is important and fruitful.
In particular, there are subordinates like Steglenburg who dare to absorb hatred to carry out the part of the work of "taking back" and the part of "giving grace", of course, Wu Xin will come by himself.
The Steglenburg Knight didn't know exactly what he was taking in this game, but even if he did, he would still take orders.
Because Wu Xin didn't completely abandon him, he just let him do the dirty work.
It's just that he was so wholeheartedly holding money for Wu Xin that he didn't notice that after Wu Xin entered, the Xingyue Temple seemed extremely quiet, strangely quiet.
The hustle and bustle behind the door was not revealed at all.
"Oh!!!!! Whining! ”
The meaningless syllables in the ears of others, Wu Xin found that he could understand.
He ordered with a pale face: "This guy beckoned his companion, retreat first, its companion won't last long, and he will come back to clean it up later." ”
This is the most annoying part of the demons, they can call enemies of the same level as themselves from their hometown, through personal contacts.
And there may be more.
This abyss demon ape obviously has a lot of friends in his hometown, and when he greeted him, two abyss demon apes actually came.
Two bodies as tall as it were, full of power, filled the altar to the brim.
The abyssal demon ape, who was extremely injured, slapped his chest fiercely. Xiang Wu Xin made a threatening move.
"Captain, you're broken." As soon as Wu Xin saw this situation, he immediately turned towards the door without looking back.
The Abyss Demon Ape's "Monster Challenge" was successful, and it received a large increase in strength and constitution.
Kessler's first seat no longer has materials for using sixth-level divine arts, and even if he does, he won't use it, this kind of enemy without loot. Wait for them to disappear on their own, of course.
A few high-level professionals must be able to go, and the soldiers of these two squads can only ask for more blessings.
'Is the pension going to be more ............' Considering his escape, Wu Xin considered bribing his family.
However, Wu Xin didn't escape a few steps at all, and suddenly bumped into something.
And then there was the excruciating pain.
He was encased in a pair of huge, powerful furry arms thicker than his thighs.
An abyss demon ape teleported behind Wu Xin!
Most of the abilities of the female knights of Devrich come from demons.
The ability to teleport, which is extremely rare among humans, is not uncommon among demons.
Of course, if it weren't for the Star Moon Temple, a demon of the Abyss Demon Ape level would not be able to use this move.
This abyssal demon ape. It had just been projected onto the main plane, and it was in response to another fellow species that had rescued itself, and also to be able to enjoy the thrill of killing here.
In one round, it grabbed Wu Xin, and it immediately squeezed the warlock with both arms, and at the same time, the large mouth full of sharp teeth on its chest also bit Wu Xin's body violently.
"Ahh
Wu Xin let out a scream, but the next moment, he found that he was not seriously injured.
Not only was he not bitten. And the pressure is gone.
Wu Xin found himself in a safe position in the battle line, but the pain came from his bones. It also clearly let him know that being hugged by the Abyss Demon Ape just now was not an illusion.
"I'm here to save Kessler's first seat!" Cassano swung his sword and slashed down a Janissrid soldier who wanted to take advantage of Wu Xin's confusion to make a great achievement, and then rushed towards the Abyssal Demon Ape who had clung to Kessler's head. "You keep the other pursuers at bay."
It's the king rook castling.
Wu Xin didn't delay too long to figure out the situation, and the "first seat of heat" once again bravely fulfilled his duty.
It was also natural for Cassano to let Wu Xin block the pursuers, and Wu Xin's attack methods were ineffective against powerful demons.
But those two tongues of fire were still enough to threaten those soldiers.
Not to mention that he was the first target of those soldiers in the first place.
Cassano knew that Wu Xin would definitely face a siege, but he still resolutely rushed towards the Abyss Demon Ape that hugged Kessler's head.
This time the situation is even more dangerous than the last time.
The Abyss Demon Ape may not be able to deal with the brain-drinker Ah Ming alone. But the last time Wu Xin was dragged away by the bloody flesh, and then it was up to him to change positions, which was an established tactic.
Therefore, Kessler's first seat activated the ability to transform into a fire elemental elder in time, but this time, in order to avoid Wu Xin being attacked in a round, it was too late to transform.
Although with Wu Xin's vitality, he actually has a good chance of surviving that round of attacks. But Kessler didn't dare to take any chances.
He knew he could hold the Abyss Demon Ape for several rounds.
Although many of the curiosities were spent on the periphery of rescuing Sazastan, he still retained the most important piece of equipment, his armor.
The appearance and effect of this armor are very simple, that is, it increases the constitution that matches the value of the elite level.
Of course, in the case of being captured, Kessler's first such an elite-level priest was unable to get rid of the grip of the Abyss Demon Ape on his own.
But that's enough, these few physiques made him embarrassed but thrilled to carry Cassano's assistance.
In order to dodge Cassano's attack, the Abyssal Demon Ape retreated slightly, and only bit Kessler's head with the large mouth on his chest, and did not continue to grab him with his hands.
Cassano managed to get out of its grappling for the first time.
Ignoring the bitten face, he immediately used a "dispel the undead", knowing that the numerical disadvantage caused by those skeleton soldiers had to be resolved immediately. "I'll take this over, and you go to the aid of the knight Deverich, and then I'll settle this."
As he spoke, he transformed into a fire elemental elder, although demons are generally not afraid of fire, but fire is not very afraid of demons, which is a good choice to delay time.
Wu Xin's situation is not bad.
Just now, the two Yenisiri soldiers relied on the skeleton soldiers to contain them. got rid of the knight soldiers in front of him and rushed in front of Wu Xin.
However, they only have mortal soldiers in their hands, and they can't threaten Wu Xin who is protected by the "Ghost Face Technique" at all.
After experiencing the three emotions of "excitement", "doubt", and "fear", they all died.
Wu Xin, who is not afraid of ordinary soldiers, is at ease. You can even observe the situation on the entire battlefield.
In the beginning, the most dangerous was undoubtedly the female knight of Dverrich, besieged by two abyssal demon apes, which should be even more dangerous than Kessler's first one.
Although the Abyss Demon Ape who came to the main plane has been seriously injured, she still has to face the attack of two demons and several skeletons.
The seriously injured Abyss Demon Ape did not come up to attack, but cast another summoning spell, summoning a ferocious ape.
Of course, this thing can't be compared with the Abyss Demon Ape, and it's obviously more than one circle smaller.
The main threat is still the projection of the abyssal demon ape.
Wu Xin knows. She won't be able to use her "Flash" ability again anytime soon.
Wu Xin himself was not in danger, and he yelled at the soldiers to go to the aid of the female knight Deverich.
The soldiers knew that this was the boss's woman, and of course they wanted to take the opportunity to show it.
However, their strength was limited after all, and even the most courageous squad leader had only broken a skeleton soldier, and could not rush in front of the female knight Deverich.
However, Wu Xin soon found that his worries were unnecessary.
The female knight of Dverrich has the ability to defend herself, just at a small cost.
After realizing that it was trapped in a siege. The female knight of Deverrich immediately activated the demonic armor again.
The vicious black water energized her strength, and she jumped on the spot and slashed off the head of the ferocious ape.
The jump gave her strength. It also made it impossible for her to dodge the abyss demon ape that pounced on her, this abyss demon ape had just "monster challenged" a soldier under Wu Xin's command, and its strength and physique had also been increased.
Then the female knight Devreich struck a blow to the intact Abyss Demon Ape, and Amin had great strength, but it was still inferior to the Abyss Demon Ape.
After all, the demonic armor on her body was only a mid-level armor, and even sacrificing her lifespan was not enough for her to gain the strength to fight such an enemy.
The female knight of Dverrich was not surprised to be knocked into the air. knocked down a pillar in the Star Moon Temple, and then stopped when he reached the wall.
But that abyssal demon ape was even more miserable, and its strength had a huge advantage, and it only took a few steps back slightly to stop its retreat.
However, the abyssal demon ape, which existed in the form of a projection, found that the situation was not right, and it suddenly could not smell the delicious main plane. Then the body in the abyss spat out a large mouthful of internal organs.
It was kicked straight out of this world!
The abyssal demon ape power that came to the main plane of the seriously injured body launched a pursuit, and it dragged the seriously injured body to give the female knight a fatal blow.
Although the female knight couldn't stand up, Wu Xin's tongue of fire arrived with Casano's sword, and it could only retreat.
Even so, Cassano slashed at its arm.
By this time, all the Janissary soldiers in the Temple of the Star and Moon had already been killed.
The seriously injured Abyss Demon Ape couldn't help but feel fear when he saw that he was only one teammate who was pinned down by Kessler's first seat.
Although it is a fierce demon, it is the main body, and once it dies, it is not a matter of serious injury.
It quickly made the decision to return to the center of the altar to teleport itself back into the abyss.
It has never been a rational choice for the main body to come to the main plane, but among the demons, there has never been a shortage of such a guy who can't control himself.
Although it was seriously injured, it was confident that it could still withstand Cassano's attack, and Wu Xin's tongue of fire was not a problem for it.
However, just as its body began to reorganize, the female knight of Devlich, who was seriously injured and vomited blood, once again urged the power of the demonic armor to the maximum.
"Leave it for me!"
She vomited blood as she "flashed" to the center of the altar again.
A sword plunged into the demon's chest, and then the knight Devrichi pressed her body against the hilt of the sword, slashing it from the jaw to the stomach.
A gust of fishy wind and flesh rain swept through the entire Xingyue Temple. (To be continued......)
