Chapter 5: The General's Ambition
Seeing the villager boy dodging the fireball, the magic apprentice's face did not show a trace of disappointment, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
The size of the magic power lies in the magic power in the body, and the amount of magic power lies in talent and bloodline, he was born in an ordinary family, and his own magical talent can only be regarded as the lowest, if there is no miracle, there may be no way to become a formal magician in this life.
In order to avoid distraction, he only learned a low-level magic, the most common fireball technique in fire magic, and he asked himself how much he was not inferior to a formal magician, and he was unrivaled among magic apprentices of the same level.
A faint smell of burnt came from somewhere on his body, although Xiao Jun dodged just now, but it was obviously still grazed to a little corner by the fireball, he watched the staff in the hand of the magic apprentice light up again, and his body subconsciously began to lean back, at this moment, a rolling heat wave suddenly came from his back, it was the fireball that did not hit just now and struck again.
Xiao Jun's backward posture immediately changed to rushing forward, and the magic apprentice not far away was proud, and another fireball flew from the front, and he was attacked on both sides, and there was no way to retreat.
Seeing this scene, the onlookers were full of nervousness, while the village chief and the half-elf Jasmine had solemn faces.
Judging from the battle just now, the strength of the new vice-captain is even higher than the captain of the militia group, and he is the strongest in this village, once he is defeated, the morale of the villagers will inevitably be greatly damaged, if the caravan as the victor fulfills the previous agreement, it is okay to withdraw from the village like this, if the other party makes any excessive demands again, even if it is solemnly refused, it will inevitably be retaliated against in the future, and only by completely defeating the magic apprentice can the peace of the village be ensured.
The two fireballs hit back and forth, but it was difficult to do it at the same time on the timeline, there was a difference between front and back, although it was only a short moment, but it was enough for Xiao Jun.
The previous misjudgment of the speed of magic casting led to the loss of the first move, but after this period of adaptation, he had completely figured out the trajectory of the fireball, and under the worried looks of the villagers, the boy jumped up slightly, avoiding a fireball in the very small gap, and after landing, he just missed another fireball.
"This can't be! How the hell did you do that?"
The magic apprentice couldn't believe what he had just seen, the fireball that was supposed to hit under his control was just dodged by the other party's seemingly casual action, only that little time gap, he didn't even have time to change the direction of the fireball, he could only let the opportunity slip away again.
"It's impossible, it's impossible, no one can predict the future, it must have been a coincidence, yes, you were just lucky. ”
The magic apprentice comforted himself, the staff in his hand lit up again, and controlling three fireballs at the same time was his current limit, and it was impossible to go any further unless he could become a full-fledged magician.
Xiao Jun looked at this magic apprentice calmly with an indifferent gaze, he couldn't explain the cruelty of the war with otherworldly creatures in the end times, and he didn't want to explain the truth that he could see through the trajectory of the fireball technique, and a tired look gradually appeared between his eyebrows, although the other party seemed to have more powerful tricks, such as controlling more fireballs to attack at the same time, but the battle was here, and the analysis of this low-level magic by the personal terminal had been completed, so there was no need to waste time.
"Turn on the neural network"
"Successful Turnaround"
"Connecting Fireball Interpretation Data"
"Connection Complete"
At this moment, even the villagers in the distance found that Xiao Jun's whole temperament had undergone a huge change, from the originally approachable villager boy to a cold and strong man who showed a huge sense of existence, without a trace of human emotion, killing and bloodshed filled the hearts of everyone present.
In the face of three fireballs attacking at the same time, attacking from different directions, he seemed to have countless pairs of eyes, and the trajectory of the three fireballs slowed down countless times in his sight, and there was no secret at all.
The magic apprentice seemed to have gone crazy, controlling the fireball and constantly attacking, but he couldn't even touch a corner of the opponent's clothes.
If he could calm down, he would find that the fight was over.
Xiao Jun walked through the fireballs with great ease, like a leisurely traveler, his toes lightly touched the ground, and he stepped over two fireballs from above, and after turning around, together with the fireball behind him, three fireballs appeared in front of him at the same time.
Magic is something that countless people look forward to, and Xiao Jun is also full of curiosity about it, but he doesn't have any divine thoughts about it, as a form of energy, it's just a difference in the magnitude of power.
Today's personal terminals are capable of fully analyzing low-level magic, and the weakness of fireball magic is naturally within it, countless tiny fire elements together form a fireball, and as long as the support points in it are destroyed, the magic can be dissipated.
In Xiao Jun's eyes, among the three fireballs in front of him, there is a point of light that is obviously different from other fire elements, its size is only comparable to the general fire element, unless it has the visual sharing of a personal terminal, the naked eye cannot detect their difference, and the point of light is not stationary, it is constantly shuttling in the fireball, and the speed is extremely fast.
Holding the knife in one hand, the tip of the knife was a sword, and I saw a flash of light in his eyes, with a point as the top, two points into a line, along an almost perfect arc, the tip of the knife crossed in the air, and the points of light in the three balls of light formed a line, forming a triangle.
At this moment, like the sound of bubbles bursting, three fireballs emitting heat waves dissipated in the air at the same time.
"Cracked my magic without using Dou Qi?"
The magic apprentice saw that the other party just drew a simple pattern in the air with a knife, and his three fireballs lost their energy support and dissipated at the same time, at this moment, he felt that his worldview was collapsing, as if he had spent the past twenty years of his life in a dream.
"Do you want to continue?"
An icy voice came, the magic apprentice looked up at the other party, he only found at this moment that this originally ordinary villager boy seemed to have undergone a huge change, and the sense of threat that he thought was an illusion was even worse, he had a feeling that once he continued to insist, he was afraid that he would be killed by the other party in the next second, and the terror that walked with death was suffocating.
Xiao Jun, who has entered the combat state, is like two people in peacetime, as a hero of mankind in the last days, he was promoted to the rank of major general in a very short time, and it is also a nightmare for countless otherworldly creatures, a killing machine that takes the initiative to lose excess emotions.
"I throw in the towel!" The apprentice fell to the ground in a shadow of fear, drenched in sweat.
I don't know why, seeing him take the initiative to abstain, not only the elated villagers, but also the entire caravan was secretly relieved.
"Oh, that's right. The cold face instantly relaxed, Xiao Jun patted the other party's shoulder affectionately, as if the terrifying demon just now was not him, he faced the leader of the caravan, the obese middle-aged man with an ugly face, with a simple smile like a villager on his face, as if the little daughter rubbed her hands shyly, and said embarrassedly: "Should we discuss the issue of compensation now?"
......
......
In order to prevent retaliation, Xiao Jun used his personal terminal to conduct a detailed scan of everyone in this caravan, from every cell in his body to his personal property, and even how many mistresses he kept in his possession.
Through extremely peaceful verbal threats, the caravan finally shook hands and made peace after showing enough sincerity.
From an outsider's point of view, one might think that the entire caravan had married off their own daughter to this nameless village, which is why it was so ...... Smiling?
The next day, the militia drill ground.
Under the admiring gaze of the villagers, Xiao Jun was solemnly commended by the village chief, and received a lot of wealth, land and money, and even the voice of him as the captain of the militia regiment appeared.
None of this attracted his attention, and now there was a more important thing to do, as the first existence to be recognized by the personal terminal, there should be something special about Jasmine, maybe it would help her future plans.
Xiao Jun didn't intend to go with the flow like this, even if he wanted to, fate that had been proven countless times would not allow it, and after going through so many things, he was no longer the ordinary person who was alone at the beginning, but the youngest general in the history of China, a human hero who fought against otherworldly creatures in the last days.
The word general is not only a military rank, but also an honor, and as a general, you need to have more ambition than ordinary soldiers, or be far-sighted.
After Xiao Jun came to this world, he set his first small goal for himself, and at the same time had a big goal.
With a stronger power than the original, he can defeat the power of the final beast and end the end of the world, and return to China.
His current identity is just a penniless villager, the most humble and weak existence in the other world, and if he wants to achieve his goal, he must overcome one difficulty after another.
This is an impossible task, and characters like generals are meant to do things that others can't do, and achieve eternal feats that no one dares to imagine.
