Chapter 272: I didn't expect you to be so strong
The sound was so deep that it could be heard for hundreds of meters.
For a while, even though this was the territory of the Pterodactyl Gang, there were still a lot of strange noises around, and it was obvious that many residents had noticed the situation here and watched through the doors and windows to see what was happening. However, no one dared to watch openly, and the surrounding area was still dark and blind, and there was no lively atmosphere.
But that's enough.
After waiting for a while, Su Wen saw that there was no response in the villa, so he issued a solemn warning again: "You are killing yourself, on behalf of the city lord of Lucius, immediately lay down your arms and come out to surrender!"
This time, the door finally opened slowly.
What came out was a trembling white-haired old man.
He was dressed plainly, and his appearance in his old age made people feel distressed, with a face full of dazedness and horror, he made a noble salute to Su Wen in front of him.
"Honorable lord, I am the housekeeper here, may I ask what you are here for?"
"We have received a tip-off that there are militants from the Xihuai Empire who want to plot against them. The free and independent city of Mtase will not allow any other country to touch it, and according to Article 21, paragraph 7 of the Independence Act, you are accused of treason, and all of you should be immediately disarmed and investigated!"
The old man was stunned for a long time with his mouth open, as if he was shocked.
After a full half a minute, he cautiously asked, "What is the law of independence, we don't have any written law in Mthase City, right?"
"Now there is, quickly hold your head in your hands and accept the arrest!"
"But—"
"Don't be," Su Wen glanced at the old man's back, and then shouted loudly, "The evil magic corrosion technique that you are reading in your hand has posed a serious threat to the law enforcement officers, and now I will impose coercive measures on you for the crime of obstruction of official business under Article 31, paragraph 4!"
"You ......"
Before the old man could say anything, Su Wen moved instantly, and he rushed sideways and turned at a speed that humans couldn't reach, and sprinted behind him back to back. At the same time, the polymer blade in his hand had already been unsheathed, slashed, and turned, forming an afterimage in the air that could not be captured by the naked eye.
It wasn't until Su Wen put away the knife that he heard the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind him.
The old man had collapsed to the ground, his legs supporting him seemed to have lost all strength, and there were blood oozing from his hands and wrists. The half-rubbed secret magic could no longer continue, and it escaped for a while, filling the air with a scorched aura, and also making him spit out a mouthful of black blood "wow" due to the backlash.
Su Wen didn't look back, he pushed open the door and entered the villa.
In fact, he didn't make a move at all just now, what he shot was the combat bones on his body. This invisible exoskeleton armor is not outstanding in terms of protection capabilities, but it carries a combat chip that can make different tactical actions according to the wearer's brain instructions, and it is much more accurate and efficient than doing it manually. Su Wen didn't plan to use a thermal weapon this time, and he didn't want what he was doing to be considered related to Laetitia's side, so he just wanted to test this new type of equipment that he had never used before.
If it works, equipping slimes next can bring a huge boost - the combat bone and nano armor do not conflict, and the two can be used together.
But that's for another time.
Now all he had to do was cut down all the creatures that were about to appear in front of him.
Hmm, it's just a chop, and I don't plan to kill it directly. Using the recognition mechanism of combat bones, Su Wen will automatically avoid the vital points of the target when performing tactical actions, such as the old man behind him who was screaming and moaning, and the chief butler of the Pterodactyl Gang, at this time, he was just picked off the tendons of his hands and feet and stabbed his veins.
That's right, no one would have imagined that this old man who appeared to be in his old age was actually a death mage who was like a rat crossing the street anywhere on the mainland. In fact, there are many hidden dangerous people like this in Mtase City, but Su Wen has long been surprised by this after getting Donald's information.
The reason why Su Wen didn't plan to kill him was not because of mercy, but because this group of people couldn't die so cleanly, and the dead couldn't speak, and their strategic value was greatly reduced. But there is another reason, and that is that since the beginning, although he has had a lot of lives on his hands, those are passive counterattacks when his or Laetitia's life is seriously threatened, and other than that, he really hasn't taken the initiative to kill any creatures. Even if he is a heinous villain, as long as he does not threaten himself, he has little leisure to get rid of the tyrannical peace.
Of course, the most he can do is ensure that he doesn't kill himself. Even if it has nothing to do with this matter, none of the people in the house in front of him are clean, and in the civilized world, they are basically wicked people who ask and behead after the autumn, as for how long they can live next, then he doesn't care too much.
After all, the lord of the city here is Lucius, and he has the final say.
As long as you have some intelligence, you can see that Lucius's behavior in the afternoon is obviously a questioning temptation to himself by the hand of others, he has been the person of "Tasuuri" for several days, and has paid a lot of price and energy, but so far, except for seeing some shocking power, he has not received any substantial benefits and reassuring assurances. Su Wen could understand this feeling, because he had such a relationship with the pit daddy system, so he didn't intend to let this situation continue.
What we are doing now is an important step.
So, let's get started.
Su Wen had already seen the private soldiers waiting for him in the villa, this group of heavily armed guys looked a little nervous, obviously the housekeeper had a lot of weight in their eyes, and the second lying down gave a certain shock to morale, but the array formed was still maintained, and no one took a half step back.
Su Wen instantly turned into an afterimage and faced him head-on.
For a moment, screams and chanting were mixed, elemental bullets whistling and powerful crossbows flying in unison, and the golden open-air hall was full of bright firelight and wind blades, but it could not resist the ghostly figure shuttling through the crowd. Whether it's an ordinary warrior, a vindictive knight, or an elemental mage, no one is a united enemy, and one by one people fall, but they can't lock onto the enemy's figure at all, as if he doesn't exist in this space, but everywhere...... Less than a minute later, the ground was full of wailing wounded.
It wasn't until the last knight with a staghorn helmet fell that Su Wen's figure finally stopped. At this time, he was panting, such a high-intensity and vigorous operation is not something that people can do at all, even he can't be calm, if he puts it before his body is strengthened, I'm afraid he has vomited all over the ground.
But......
Even now, the group of military mage warbands from the Xihuai Empire has not appeared in the half of a figure.
Of course, because now they are about to complete the arrangement of the short-distance teleportation array, which has started since they received the news of their arrival. And the group of defeated Pterodactyl Gang privates above, including the death mage who was lying in the doorway and pretending to be dead, were just cannon fodder used to delay time.
But since Su Wen is here, he won't know that there is this trick. On the contrary, what he wanted was for them to activate the teleportation array, which was quite important evidence, and Su Wen even gave them plenty of time, otherwise he would not have deliberately put two minions on the way to report the message.
As for successful delivery?
That was impossible, before Su Wen went out, the detection robot had already invaded the basement of the villa, not only saw all the personnel arrangements inside, but also did some tricks and feet on the inscription circuit of the base of the teleportation circle. This kind of hands and feet only block the elemental transmission of several ports, which is difficult to see on the surface, but once the magic array is successfully arranged and activated, it will form the "elemental disconnection" in magic terms, so that powerful energy bursts out at the ports, causing the entire magic array to burn out.
Because of this, Su Wen sat down and poured a glass of water unhurriedly, before raising his hand to open the secret door on the bookshelf, only to find that it had been locked from the inside. Then he half-pushed and half-pushed on the ground with his arms to break open the metal door panel up to five centimeters thick, and only then did he see the basement staircase spiraling downward in front of him.
Su Wen walked down the stairs, and finally when he was halfway through, he heard a muffled sound from the ground.
It's as if something has exploded.
Tsk, so slow.
He couldn't help but sigh that the quality of this group of mages was not good, after all, according to his assessment of these people's abilities, they should have activated the teleportation circle two minutes ago.
But now that it's already started, it means that you can move on.
Su Wen no longer paused, and he who was originally slow and leisurely instantly turned into an afterimage and rushed down, and cut open the second gate like a piece of paper.
Before he could enter the door, Su Wen heard a uniform roar.
"Array!"
It was worthy of the military mage group, and it was only a few seconds before the teleportation array failed, and this group of people had already adjusted their state and focused all their attention on the intruder.
This time, the enemy was obviously not on the same level as the miscellaneous soldiers above, and was greeted by several basin-sized fireballs and elemental traps all over the ground, followed by a large number of shieldmen, archers, and military mages who were ready to attack. Although it seems strange to put on a combat posture in such a basement where they can't be used, it doesn't necessarily mean that their combat effectiveness has been reduced, on the contrary, in this kind of place, if they are attacked by face-to-face killing, they will have nowhere to hide.
But Su Wen did not slow down and faced him again.
The explosion of the fireball spell and the triggering of the freezing trap made the entire basement tremble, especially the powerful energy released from the burst of fire elementals, giving people the feeling that the surroundings were crumbling and would collapse at any time. Such an attack, even if it was a magister, if he didn't completely elementalize his body, he would never dare to enter rashly, but in Su Wen's eyes, it seemed like it was just a combat test.
He felt the negative effects of the Retardation and Swamp Spells superimposed on him—his body was heavy, he had difficulty breathing, and even the speed of the mechanical exoskeleton was greatly affected, and at the same time, the shield readings on the armor in front of him began to decrease rapidly, enough to hold on to the small deflection field in the magma for more than two minutes, at which point a full quarter of the energy was lost in five seconds, and at this current pace, it only took two breaths for it to turn into powder in the furious energy bombardment. And once this happens, the internal exoskeleton is almost incapable of protection, and Su Wen is equivalent to going into battle naked.
But that can't happen.
In the next second, Su Wen had already passed through the line of fire and broke into front of the crowd like a ghost. The heavily armed tower shield soldiers are like a high wall between him and the spellcaster, these giant shields are made of precision forged alloy, and the strength is not low, but the material science foundation of this world is really low, except for those treasures from the hands of the "gods", other mortal weapons can only rely on enchantment to support the scene, even in front of the mass production of polymer blades, they are as vulnerable as tofu.
"Sa!"
With the rupture of the giant shield, Su Wen's figure flashed, and while cutting down the shield soldiers in front of him, he also broke straight into the iron bucket formation formed by the military mage battle group.
The mage battle group naturally uses the mage's elemental bombardment as the main means of attack, and the line of fire that Su Wen broke through before was already an interception net created by two great mages and several intermediate mages who practiced hands, and when he broke into the enemy formation at this time, there was no decent resistance. Like a single magician, once it is rushed into the danger range, the combat effectiveness of the magician war group will be greatly reduced, even if there is a knight with extraordinary martial arts as the last line of insurance, exuding a bright high-level fighting spirit all over his body, but his enchanted knight's sword was cut into three sections as soon as it was pulled out, and before he could scold him for being unfair, he was picked up by Su Wen and knocked to the ground.
The scene turned into a one-sided slaughter again......
Two minutes later, Su Wen ended the battle cleanly, and then, with a groan all over the ground, he came to Hegel, the leader of the Pterodactyl Gang, who was eager to retreat into the ground.
Su Wen gave him a kind smile.
"Mr. Hegel, we just met in the afternoon, and I remember you sitting in the first row, and you were quite hard at the time of the heckling. ”
The tattooed man's eyes widened with rage, and his head was covered in cold sweat.
He said in a deep voice: "Mr. Tasuri is indeed extraordinary, but you may be disappointed, there are no Empire* troops here, and I will not say anything." ”
"It's a tough word, but let's lie down for a while, and the rest will be up to you. ”
After Su Wen finished speaking, he was about to move to calm him down.
But at this moment, a few muffled snorts came from behind him, but he was stunned, and when he turned around, he saw that several legion magicians who had been picked off their hands and feet had turned black and lost their voices. Perhaps inspired by the leadership, the other fighters followed suit, and for a while, black appeared on their faces, and the wounded who were struggling and moaning all over the ground turned into corpses in a few breaths.
Su Wen soon heard a muffled snort again, and when he turned around, he saw that Hegel, who was unharmed, also had a black face at this time, and he had died thoroughly.
The group apparently died of poison.
Shocked, is it so ruthless?
