Seeing that the first crossbow arrow was blocked by a corpse, Reese, the leader of the widow mercenary group, had chagrin written on his face, but the face behind the veil hid these frustrations. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But anyway, she only has a chance to strike the last blow now.

Go back in time to the Mercenary Guild meeting.

"It would be nice if you could tell me a little more about this weapon. "After the decision-making meeting of the mercenary union, Reese, the leader of the widow mercenary group, has obtained a blood-red wooden crossbow, but Reese still has many doubts and wants to ask the owner of the crossbow, the leader of the Holy Spirit mercenary group, the pillar priest.

Shining flames, silver flowers, and Orlando, the leader of the gentle beautiful young mercenary group, interjected: "The crossbows are all treacherous rats hiding in dark corners! I am very disdainful of this, is there no way to destroy the weapon of life except this kind of thing?"

"It's not to destroy it," Reese retorted, "it's to temporarily disarm it, that's what the Pillar Priest said. ”

"That's right, in the eyes of the contemptible people, the contemptible sword is the synonym of righteousness," although Toya, the leader of the Blue Flame Mercenary Group, is wearing extremely simple clothes, but the mercenary group under his command has a very high reputation mercenary group, even if the task with high remuneration and great difficulty can be solved by this mercenary group, "The matter of hiding in the corner and shooting dark arrows does not agree with the contemptible people. ”

Even though both captains said so, Reese ignored it. Originally, she was assigned to the Winter Kingdom to deal with affairs at the conference, but now, because of the strong protest of the Pillar Priest, she asked that she go to the formation of the East Oguna Empire by herself, try her best to get close to the Holy Goria, and then take the life weapon from the other party's hand - and kill Goliath if she can.

Such an arbitrary proposal was rarely seen in a meeting of the Mercenary Guild, but for the first time, the Pillar Priest was so adamant. Of course, the leaders of the mercenary guild have heard of the name of the heir of the mage Golia, but few have truly seen the magic of the other party. The Pillar Priests are widely recognized magicians - although most of them are magicians working with the living dead, it is enough to prove that there are people within the Mercenary Guild who understand the magical power that has long since withered on the continent.

It can be inferred that the Pillar Priest would want to go against the mercenary guild president's policy of "non-interference with Goliath", which is understandable. However, the Pillar Priest's proposal to deal with Golia's priority was only approved by the communicator, and he did not expect to obtain the permission of the union president that night, allowing the Pillar Priest to use his own methods to carry out the plan to eliminate Golia.

At the end of the meeting, the Pillar Priest, who had given the crossbow to Reese, said little, telling the head of the widow's mercenary regiment to use the two arrows to shoot the weapon of life, and then snatch it back - if Reese had the confidence and ability, he might as well kill Golia.

"Pillar Priest, can you elaborate on my question, I don't even know what strength she has!" Reese sat motionless in her seat, a fine blood-red wooden crossbow and two blood-red crossbow arrows on the long table in front of her.

"She can do magic. The pillar priest's eyes, sewn by the wire, twitched slightly, and then he uttered these words.

Reese frowned, her eyes, which were good at secretly sending autumn waves, also lost their charm at this time, and her eyes were full of doubts. "What kind of magic does she have? Will she be able to fly a stone or will she be able to turn me into a stone?"

"All you need to do is use this crossbow to aim at the life weapon in her hand, and if you shoot it, everything she's done in the Theoguna Empire will be over. The Pillar Priest's words were still mysterious, and the three leaders, including Reese, didn't understand what the other party was talking about. Even the communicator could not find the point in the bitter words of the pillar priest.

At this time, a deep voice came from the direction of the position of the union president: "This crossbow was originally used to fight against magic, but later someone discovered that it can fight against life weapons. ”

The communicator was startled at first, then immediately raised his head, stood up, and walked out of the conference hall step by step. Toya, Orlando, and Reese all immediately got down on one knee and headed for the seat on the high platform at the back of the long table.

"Grow up. ”

Only the pillar priest remained unmoved, and he sat in his place like a humanoid statue.

"It's all old friends, don't be formal," the messenger walked out of the conference hall, and after closing the door with both hands, the man sitting in the chair's seat continued to speak, "I also heard that the Pillar Priest proposed to destroy Goliath in this Imperial Civil War, so I came here. Although his words were clear, there was no candlelight in the chairman's position, and no one could see the president's face, as if there was a corner in all places, just a place that happened to be in the shadows.

"Is it this crossbow and these crossbow arrows that the elder said about the other party's magic weapon just now?" Reese sat back in her place, eager to ask.

"That's right, this is the only way we knew at the beginning," the guild leader's clothes were dark, and the others couldn't even see the guild's figure clearly, "but then they stumbled upon the crossbow arrow, which cost a thousand human blood, was actually effective against those life weapons. ”

A thousand human blood?!—Orlando and Reese both looked surprised, and only Toya was as calm as ever.

How much is a thousand pieces of human blood?How can blood be turned into a crossbow?And most importantly, why can it be used against magic and life weapons?Reese asked herself inwardly, but the leader seemed to have seen through the mercenary's heart.

"You may have doubts in your minds, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that this is the method left by the sages and philosophers, and it must have a role. ”

Reese didn't dare to ask any further, since the president of the mercenary union had explained that the other doubts were unimportant, then she only needed to complete the tasks assigned to her by her superiors as if she was a mercenary, and it was not necessarily beneficial to ask more questions and know more.

The beautiful man Orlando stroked his hat with his hand, and he looked at Reese's expression as if he was glad that he had not been assigned such an unknown task.

"If Captain Reese is worried, the contemptible can take Captain Reese's place..."Toya said lightly, holding the scabbard in his hand.

"No, don't underestimate women too much!" Reese was very competitive, and before Toya could finish her words, Reese refused to go back.

"All in all, Captain Reese only needs to take this wooden crossbow and shoot the life weapon in Golia's hand, and then bring the life weapon back to the Guild, then the mission is completed?" Orlando helped Reese clear his mind before asking the president of the Mercenary Guild. But when he finished speaking, when everyone looked at the chairman's position, the chairman had already disappeared, as if he had never appeared, and had just sent his voice here. The communicator also returned to the chamber while Orlando spoke, and walked to his place.

These memories of the union came back to Reese's mind again, and she bit her lip fiercely, "Damn Pillar Priest, why didn't he tell me that this crossbow arrow can be resisted by a human body!" In fact, when Reese shot the crossbow arrow just now, even she herself couldn't see the flight path of the blood-red crossbow arrow. But the reality is in front of her, the first crossbow arrow has been blocked, and she only has one chance left in her hands.

The deputy commander beside her, Myra, was also worried, and she suggested to Reese that it would be better for her to rush forward with some mercenary subordinates to attack Golia, and use this simplest and most direct method to take away the life weapon. However, this proposal was vetoed by Reese, and the leader of the widow mercenary group did not want his subordinates to die in vain, because the other party's magical power was not something that his own mercenaries could resist.

"Damn, if there weren't so many strange people around her, I would have solved that woman a long time ago," when the Pillar Priest was separated from her, he once told Reese that there would be a young man with extremely high talent and understanding by Golia's side, and that this young man could protect Goliath with magical powers, but those two crossbow arrows that had been improved by the Pillar Priest could break through the other party's magical protection, "The dead old man only said that there was a teenager, and the current situation is completely different!"

She looked back and saw that the Gomon had disappeared in human form, and the defenders of the Theoguna Empire were approaching, and if she didn't get rid of Goliath quickly, it would be difficult to even retreat.

On the other side, Fei De had already selected hundreds of the four mercenary groups with the strongest combat effectiveness to rush to the high platform of the city wall. The defenders of the Theoguna Empire saw that it was Captain Fidel, and they all got out of the way, allowing the mercenaries to rush to the front line. This kind of human-to-human environment is not suitable for mercenary combat, so Fei De plans to make a detour to the interior of the city wall, from the bottom of the high platform to the other side where Golia is.

Fid had noticed that there were no enemies on the other side of the platform, and if he and his mercenaries could pass through the walls, then they could go to Golia's side, protect the Holy Maiden of the Theoguna Empire, and flank the invaders who wanted to get close to the platform.

Sure enough, the defenders in the rain didn't expect this, and when Fei De went to the door of the inner passage of the city wall, the gate guards realized this, and hurriedly opened the iron gate to let Fei De and his mercenary subordinates through.

At this time, on the other side of the high platform of the city wall, Ludwig, a native of the Winter Country, was looking at the back of the white-robed young man.

"Master, that magic wall can neither resist ordinary crossbow arrows nor block the attacks of the enemy crossbow, why is the young man who can do magic still holding on?" The "enemy crossbow" that the servant said should be referring to the wooden crossbow that Reese held in her hand, the crossbow made of a thousand human blood.

"That magic wall is the 'shield' that really protects the Holy Maiden," Ludwig didn't even notice that Feder had walked this way through the passage inside the wall, "in order to deal with me, the real sword-wielder." ”
