Chapter 5: The Ceiling of the Damn
When the body of the Fei Lie scout fell in the dappled sunlight of the forest, time seemed to stand still, and all the qiē turned into slow motion.
It wasn't until the corpse smashed on the ground, and it wasn't until the dust raised was filled in the inclined pillar of light that Xia Qing and the others came back to their senses, and their blood was boiling for a while, and they couldn't help themselves.
Today, they witnessed a classic, textbook assault. From the outbreak to the completion of the chase, the whole process is as fast as a storm.
A few minutes ago, the five Firet scouts were still standing in front of them, their eyes cold and their expressions arrogant. But a few minutes later, they were five corpses scattered across the jungle.
Some of them were lying on the ground, some were lying on their backs. But no matter what posture, there was an unbelievable look of horror on their faces.
Their conceit, their arrogance, were shattered by Roy's lightning speed and dazzling attacks.
Especially Roy's final blow, which was extremely amazing. The magical footwork, the backhand sword, is dizzying!
Looking at Roy again at this moment, everyone's eyes were full of awe.
You know, this is a handsome knight killing skill.
In this world, every combat professional has his own strongest move.
There are different types of tricks.
Some are magic, some are combat skills, some are archery, and some are stealth or impregnable defenses.
But no matter what profession or type, there are no exceptions. This is the pinnacle of their strength, and it is the guarantee that they can defeat their opponents or survive the battle. Its height, which determines the height of their combat effectiveness, is called the ceiling of strength.
When describing a battle, one can often hear such words.
"A good matchup. This respectable knight cracked his opponent's famous trick and directly shattered the opponent's ceiling!"
"Absolutely crushing! smash the ceiling!"
"Poor thing, this guy's ceiling, in the eyes of his opponents, is nothing more than a floor. It's a battle that doesn't matter at all. ”
Especially in the arena of knight jousting, a battle that shatters the ceiling. It is the highest honor a knight can receive.
They will win a tsunami of cheers from the audience.
Knowing Roy for so long. Everyone has always been curious about where the ceiling of this guy's strength is.
This is a difficult question to answer.
Because this black-haired kid's combat skills are too miscellaneous. He was a knight, a magician, and even a ranger with a bow and arrow.
In the many battles of Roy that everyone has seen. He used many different tricks. And even in the same battle. He can play the role of knight. Different characters such as magicians and archers. All moves are at hand.
He does as long as he thinks he needs to.
No one knows where his ceiling is. It's some kind of powerful magic, some kind of combat skill. Or his often jaw-dropping footwork.
Everything is alike, but each one cannot be determined.
"If you don't know what your opponent is strong, you'll never be able to beat him. ”
It's an old saying in the world of knighthood.
They don't want to beat Roy, but it would be a bit of a shock to not even know what the ceiling of a teenager younger than their own is.
And today, they finally confirmed that they had seen Roy's martial arts ceiling. There is no doubt about the truth of the answer - if even a handsome kill is not the ceiling of a fair one-star knight, then the world is terrible.
Although it is a good thing to get an answer and solve a long-standing curiosity.
But looking at Roy's little confused appearance, thinking about the height of this ceiling, no one can laugh.
Roy drew his sword.
Looking at the Fei Lie scout who fell to the ground, the boiling blood seemed to slowly calm down.
Although he has experienced countless fights in the world of adjudication, he has never used this trick in reality. And combining it with a light breeze step is unprecedented. All the qiē comes from the instinct of that moment.
It wasn't until the other person fell that he realized what he had done.
"Well done, boy. The voice of the sword spirit came from the sea of knowledge.
It's an understatement, but just such a compliment is enough to make Roy excited.
He carefully reflected on the move he had just made.
The more I think about it, the faster my heart beats.
The power of this move is simply terrifying. It was so terrifying that he couldn't even believe it was his own.
It's like a poor man suddenly digging up a treasure out of the ground.
In front of this altar of treasure, all the stinky rich men in the village and town who used to be in front of him are not enough to see!
Damn it!
It's so enjoyable!
Roy looked at the Philip scout on the ground, wishing he could jump up so he could do it to him again!
After being happy for a long time, Roy was shocked by everyone's eyes, quickly took out the map, and said to Xia Qing: "When you see Mr. Soge in a while, you sue him ......."
After explaining his plan in detail and pointing out the ambush location he had set up to Xia Qing, Roy looked up and asked.
"Got it?"
If it was normal, Xia Qing and the others would be very excited when they heard this plan.
But for now, they just nodded silently.
Unable to stand the eyes of a group of people looking at him like monsters, Roy quickly got up: "There are still four Feilie scouts, you continue to go north, I'll kill them......"
After speaking, his figure flashed, and he had disappeared from everyone's field of vision.
Looking at the back of him leaving, Xia Qing and Anse El both sighed and walked back with a wistful expression.
Back to the central area. When Soge saw them coming back, he asked a little strangely, "What's wrong?"
The other knights also gathered around. Everyone noticed that there seemed to be something wrong with Xia Qing and Ansel's relationship. You can see their bodies. It doesn't seem to be hurt again.
In everyone's eyes, Xia Qing and Ansel looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
They still remembered that when they accompanied Xia Li to Muni City, in their hearts, they planned to teach Roy a lesson, so that he could understand that there are people outside the world and there are heavens outside the world.
It's just that what happened later made them dispel this idea.
But they never thought that once some things were doomed, they couldn't avoid them. Merely. The one who was educated. became themselves.
From just now to now, Roy's sword that killed the last scout had been hovering in their minds, lingering.
They can be sure. If the news gets out. The entire continent of redemption. will be shaken!
At the age of eighteen, he mastered the skills of a handsome knight, which can no longer be described as a genius.
It's a demon!
You know, combat skills and knightly skills. Two completely different concepts.
Just like a person who has mastered the basic skills of painting, it does not mean that he will be able to become a great painter. In order to paint a striking painting, he must transform his basic skills into unique techniques that are alive and spiritual in the course of a long period of hard work.
It's the same with combat skills.
Only by really rolling in the sea of corpses and blood can the combat skills be removed from the chaff and transformed into unpretentious knight skills.
And every time you improve even a little bit after that, you need to be tempered repeatedly, and you need to experience and sharpen it in the battle on the front line of life and death.
This process is not something that can be done by talent alone.
It takes time, it takes accumulation!
If you don't have enough time, you don't accumulate enough, and no matter how talented you are, it's useless.
If the combat skills of cultivation are compared to the blanks, then the knight skills are the sword that quenches and opens. This is also the capital of the battle-hardened veteran knights, who can proudly call it a rookie in the face of those talented young knights.
But now, that iron rule has been broken.
The first thing that shocked everyone was Roy's swordsmanship. From the eyes of Xia Qing and Anse El, this kind of swordsmanship with a fierce and murderous aura is an extremely profound and powerful combat technique in itself.
Secondly, How old is Roy?
Where did the eighteen-year-old get his combat experience and sharpening from?
A fair one-star knight like him can have a knight's skill at the rank of a knight, which is enough to stand out in any knight order and be highly valued.
If he masters general-level knight skills, then he is the treasure of the three major training camps of the empire, the five major knight orders and the major wealthy nobles!
And the handsome knight skills ......
Except for the demons, Xia Qing and Ansel couldn't think of any other words to describe them.
The ghostly footwork, the ethereal blow, every time I taste it, the two of them will feel a kind of powerlessness from their bones.
They knew that they would never be able to block the blow.
Now, neither Xia Qing nor Ansel knew whether they were lucky or unlucky to come to Muni City this time.
To say lucky is that I am fortunate to experience this turbulent storm, to be fortunate to participate in it, to fight, to win, to witness and create a miracle together.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as they can successfully hold the fjord, after this battle, they will step into the ranks of the best nobles in the empire. Whether in the family or in the circle of noble children, the status has skyrocketed.
And the unfortunate is because they used to be conceited geniuses. But now, their pride and confidence have been completely shattered by Roy's demon.
They don't even know if they will be able to get out of the shadow that this guy has brought to them in the future.
Looking at Soge with a worried and confused expression, Xia Qing and Ansel sighed at the same time.
Xia Qing told Soge in detail about the battle plan explained by Roy, and finally said with a bitter face: "...... That's it. As for the rest, can you stop asking?"
With that, he walked away.
Thorge set his sights on Ansel.
"Don't ask me......" Ansel patted him on the arm and walked past him depressedly, "Let's just hit the ghost." ”
........................
........................
In the dense forest in the north, Tie Lun stopped, took the information handed by the guards, looked at it again and again, and did not speak for a long time.
"Only nineteen knights?" Iron Lun asked, rather muttering to himself.
"Yes, sir. The guard replied.
The team also stopped.
Jungle paths. It's rugged and hard to navigate. At this moment, it was uphill again, and the team formed a long snake along the path of the steep hillside that was only accessible to one person, slow and difficult.
This is simply a kind of torture for the knight.
And what's worse is that there is still a long way to go. The road ahead is said to be even more difficult. Not only are there near-vertical continuous elbow bends, but in some places, there are no roads at all. It is necessary to climb up a steep cliff covered with gravel flowing with spring water.
"This is where the rock sheep go!" the knights complained!
Accustomed to the plains, they at most walk through the hills, and they hate it.
They would rather fight ten times more enemies on the plains. I don't want to lead a horse in this damn mountain forest. Step on the mud and move forward cautiously.
Tielun didn't like it either.
In addition to not liking, he was more humiliated.
Although they are students of Minai and the best young generals of the Seven Colored Sea Family, they have a very good relationship with the knights of the Black Lightning Knights. But. The Black Lightning Knights are Minai's direct troops. It was the Guards he had single-handedly cultivated.
Under Mina's command. The Black Lightning Knights are invincible and invincible. Ranked among the top 20 knights of the Solan Empire, with a great reputation.
And with the accumulation of military merits. Each of these knights had their own lands and estates.
Most of the officers were knights or barons with fiefs, and the worst of the common knights owned several estates, with beautiful maids and hundreds of slaves.
Giving these knights to the Commander of the Five Masters is Minai's commitment to the fjord and the trust of their five students.
And for Wujie, leading the Black Lightning Knight is not only glory, but also pressure.
Especially after the accident with Naqi and Buzz, Tieren has heard some unpleasant comments in his own team more than once.
In this regard, Tie Lun could only remain silent.
After all, that's just the way it is.
In Minai's hands, the Black Lightning Knights gained military merit, glory, and wealth. And following the five of them, what they got was a fiasco.
Nazi and Buz each led one hundred and fifty Black Lightning Knights.
Now, all 300 people have not been heard from. If I'm not mistaken, they're probably gone.
As companions with whom they spend day and night, it is simply impossible for the knights to say that they do not have a little thought and resentment in their hearts.
And what about yourself?
Originally, they had already arrived at the warm water lake. In the face of the castle with low walls, insufficient troops, and even weaker combat effectiveness, it was completely possible to go down with one blow.
But just because of the accident with Naqi and Buz, he seemed to be frightened, leading a group of elite knights into the mountains, and fled north in a panic without even seeing the enemy's face, trying to meet with the night and huddle for warmth.
We know that this is not the case, but at least on the surface.
In the future, when others tell and describe it, they don't have anything to refute.
Tie Lun's face can be wrung out of the water by the yin one.
In his fighting career, there had never been such a retreat. And this time, he was really embarrassed.
The second letter falcon has already brought news of the night.
After abandoning the assault on Redstone Castle, Makuya had already led his troops north. He will meet him at the agreed place dozens of kilometers away.
Tie Lun already knew what the night was going to do.
After meeting his own forces and Azusen's troops, Makuya prepared to meet Solan's reinforcements from Muni City or Medin City to the north.
It's definitely an old-fashioned tactic.
Now, although the Solans have won many victories in this war zone, their attack tactics have proved that their forces are not enough to compete with their own side head-on. In the letter, it was judged that these people should be the cavalry of the city of Medding.
This coincides with Tie Lun's judgment.
And the Solans obviously won't rely on just such a small number of troops to fight with the Firet Imperial Army for control of the fjord.
They must send more troops, and they must do their best!
Based on the time and distance, it was determined that the first reinforcements from the city of Muni would probably arrive here within a few prayers.
If you put them in the fjord war zone and let them hold on to the castle, there is very little they can do. If you want to capture five targets, you will have to pay a bigger price.
And if you don't want to pay the price, you can only pray incompetently that Minai can come faster than Solan's main force.
Therefore, choosing a battlefield on the northern edge of the Fjord Theater and waiting for work to meet the advance of the Solan Army from afar is the key to turning the situation around.
As long as you hurt the opponent's forwards, break them up, and make peace with the night, you can win more time and strategic space.
In front of the combined forces of the Black Lightning Knights, the five strategic points garrisoned by the Solans were like five goats tied to a stake, at their own disposal.
The forces are scattered, and they will be broken by each one, and none of them will be able to hold it.
And if they also join forces, they can only defend one place at most, and they will not play any role.
Tie Lun understands these very well, and he will never drag his feet back in the night.
However, after receiving Potter's letter, he felt that he might really need to consider a route to meet up with Makuya.
First of all, the nineteen Solan knights were very interesting to him.
If he could catch a few live ones, he would be able to find out what was going on with Nazi and Buz, as well as information about the deployment of the Solan troops. This is of great benefit to the later battles.
Secondly, killing this knight squad can somewhat make the knights under his command breathe a bad breath. These beasts like to tear their prey apart with their claws, but they don't like to run around like this.
Third, since there are no Solan troops behind him that are enough to threaten him, he can completely avoid this damn path. After turning back from here and killing Solan's Knight team, he could have rushed to the rendezvous point by a better way.
In that case, it will be much faster than going over the mountains here!
Passing the information in his hand to the knight officers beside him, Tie Lun waited quietly.
A moment later, he had gotten the answer he wanted from the expectant looks of the knights.
"Order the troops, the rear army will become the front army," Tie Lun said, "Let's go back and kill these Solan idiots who don't know the height of the sky!"
Hundreds of knights cheered in unison...... (To be continued......)
