Chapter 27: Dark Shadows
As a high-ranking divine servant of Shen Xi, Yu Qian has an extremely good ability to sense and identify criminals, thugs, and fraudsters. Just as Panakaya's Servant must be good at healing, Knight's Servant must be a good farmer. Yu Qian is also a very qualified "criminal, thug and fraudster" in his own right.
As a criminal, conventional legal ethics are nothing to be aware of for him. As a thug, Yu Qian's violent tendencies are actually very obvious - from instigating Kimpier to attack Baron Tucson to cutting people into cubes without saying a word. The nature of the fraudster is reflected in Yu Qian's behavior pattern.
Every good fraudster is actually a very clever counterpart, who uses the fear or desire that is deeply rooted in the heart of the opponent to blind the opponent's reason, and then uses various means to force the opponent to hand over his belongings according to their wishes. The fraudsters can even be called artists who exploit the psychological activities of their victims. From beginning to end, it is only the victim's own hypocrisy that has been defrauded.
Just as an experienced farmer could accurately identify another farmer in the crowd, Yu Qian could also detect that there was something unusual about the identity of the veteran riders - they tasted more like casino players in the Night Dancer than experienced drivers, and behind their bold actions there was a clear purpose.
A truly qualified driver, of course, will give priority to completing his job, and will not provoke and even attack the knights of the principality who protect him like this group of old immortals. Not only will this not bring them any benefit, but will cause completely unnecessary trouble in the future work.
The players in the casino shouted to get the big fish to throw their chips faster. Then the purpose of the perpetrator disguised as a rider attacking the rider protecting the convoy is also revealed.
So Yu Qian made a move, divided five by two, and cut these criminals into square pieces of meat. By the way, he satisfied his violent desire to be a thug.
However, the appearance of that bronze cannon made Yu Qian feel a hint of threat.
Even a divine servant could not protect a convoy of sixty heavily loaded wagons at the same time. It only takes one wagon to be destroyed, and the wreckage will cause the convoy to become disjointed. At this time, whether it is the convoy in front of the destroyed carriage or the convoy blocked behind, it will inevitably lose the ability to act at the same time. Combined with the attack of bandits lurking in ambush everywhere, the convoy will inevitably suffer heavy losses - Yu Qian still carries a Thunder Cliff on his shoulder. If the seeds were damaged due to the attack on the convoy, whether it was to meet Shen Xi or see Julio II again, Yu Qian would not be able to raise his head.
"Unforgivable!" Yu Qian had only one thought in his mind, although he quickly calmed down. But Yu Qian still decided to attack the bandits. It is certainly not his style to just be beaten and not fight back, if he can defeat the opponent's command system, the bandits will inevitably become a mess, so as to ensure that the convoy will not be attacked again.
After discussing the countermeasures with Orilinger Shaman a little, Yu Qian made a deployment. The Duchy knights continued to protect the convoy, and the twenty Assassins remained in place. The remaining twenty assassins would enter the forest with Yu Qian to sweep away the bandits.
"Where did these people come from?" Priest Olinger and the others moved extremely quickly as they advanced through the forest, and he even had the strength to chat with Yu Qian as they moved quickly.
The Assassin profession is also very interesting, and unlike Assassins, Assassins are not only proficient in indoor combat, but also have very strong combat capabilities in places with complex environments such as deserts and forests. With the unique conditions of these areas, the Assassins were able to exert several times or even dozens of times the lethality of the plains.
Although in the jungle, the Assassins are not as lethal and scouting as professional Druid combat rangers, and in the desert they are not as effective as the Huz warriors of the Sandmen. However, the ability to fight comprehensively and efficiently across multiple conditions still made the Assassins the main fighting force for the bandits. The knights looked mighty and majestic, and they were not inferior to the Assassins in frontal combat. But the dense bush and vines hanging from the towering branches of the white cedar trees to the ground made it clear that the knights could not enter the battle at all.
"Just grab a tongue and ask. "It was Yu Qian who led the Assassins through the jungle. Yu Qian, who floated quickly at the treetops, was obviously more relaxed than the assassins who were jumping around on the branches. "However, it should be a combination of scattered forces, otherwise it will not be possible to use internal response, and it will be directly attacked. ”
It's a pity that Shen Xi is not an elemental type of god, otherwise Yu Qian borrowing the power of the gods to directly wash the ground would not be a bad choice.
"Why are you laughing?" After trying his best to keep up with Yu Qian's pace, Orilinger Shaman suddenly asked on the side, "Have you found any traces of them?"
"Not their tracks, but their tracks. Yu Qian smiled and looked at the forest in front of him, his face was smiling brightly, but his heart was full of turbulent waves.
Two servants of the gods who were investigating near Fort Grant were killed.
As a high-level divine servant, Yu Qian has a high degree of control and sensing ability over other colleagues. The six hundred and twenty-seven Forbidden Palace Divine Servants who were scattered out to investigate were all displayed in Yu Qian's mind in the form of light spots. And just now, about forty kilometers north of Fort Grant, two nearby points of light suddenly disappeared one after another.
Yu Qian only felt that his heart palpitated for a while, and the high-level divine servants could establish contact with other low-level divine servants through the intermediary of the gods he served. With God as the transit point, I have a heart palpitation, and you can imagine how much Shen Xi, who has established a direct connection with the divine servants, suffers.
Something had to be done. Yu Qian thought so, and quickly began to think about whether his response had gone wrong along the way.
Scattered bandits, inner responses, Farming Heart Sect, Heavy Carriages, Duchy Knights, Barony of Tucson. A series of key words flashed through Yu Qian's mind, and he opened his eyes suddenly. "Got you. ”
There is always a lot hidden in the forest. From the dark red tastier roses, to the white bones beneath the berries. Fertile soil and towering cedar trees obscure the view. And the occasional howl of a timberwolf can drown out the desire to come and see.
"My lord, please forgive me a few more days!" A bandit leader with a full face and a beard seemed to have all the bones of his body removed, and collapsed on the ground into a puddle of soft mud, except for the skull still in its original state, the appearance of a human was no longer visible. He pleaded with difficulty, "The first ambush was only a failure, and they have to get to Fort Grant, and there are at least fifteen days on the way." I'll still have a chance!"
"Chance?" a dark shadow stood next to the ooze. The contours of the facial features are invisible, and the limbs are connected to the body in a way that ordinary people cannot understand. It looks like a doll made by the most naughty child in kindergarten. "That kind of stuff is too extravagant for you. If you don't fight, kill!" the voice of the black shadow was indistinct, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. But the anger and murder in his tone were unmistakable. "Since you're a boneless thing, I'll take your bones. With that, several black shadows about the size of apples were separated from the black shadows and flew violently towards the bandit leader. Then the little black shadows cracked in the middle, revealing large, jagged mouths, and began to bite at the soft mud that was slump on the ground.
The screams came and went, and the other bandit leaders who were watching from the sidelines looked unbearable. None of these green forest heroes in the Howling Forest are ruthless characters who don't frown when their heads fall off, but the torture and killing in front of them are completely beyond their ability to bear. Whether it's the cruelty of the black shadow or the weirdness of the means. has turned these rough men who usually take pleasure in licking blood from the edge of the knife into cute little white rabbits.
"Don't hide. Suddenly, the shadow standing in place elongated a lot strangely - the lower half of his body was still standing motionless, but his upper body was coiled five or six meters away, on the body of a big man with his head bowed and vomiting. "These performances are all carefully prepared for you. It would be rude to turn your head and not look at it. ”
As he spoke, the flesh ball, which was no longer human, gradually floated up from the ground and flew to a height of about one meter from the ground. The shadow coiled on the big man's body split his two hands, and broke the big man's head in the direction of the meat ball that was being bitten, "Look carefully, learn carefully." Then remember with your heart what will happen to you if you disobey my orders. The shadow's voice became more and more sharp, "Fear, tremble, vomit, scream!" The shadows that were biting at the lump suddenly bit the flesh together, and then pulled back violently. The mass of flesh exploded like a torn balloon, and blood and other filth drenched the bandits.
"Disobedient children will explode. The dark shadow sighed as if in conclusion. "It's like...... Such. ”
Vomit and screams of horror rang out from all sides again, only this time, the shadows didn't seem to have any interest in correcting them. Just retract the upper body coiled on the big man. Writhing and preparing to leave the scene.
"Go and destroy that convoy. Not a single grain of grain can enter Fort Grant. The shadow dropped a word, and then melted into the forest and disappeared. Except for the people who vomited everywhere, and the filth on the ground that was barely recognizable as human organs, it was as if nothing had ever happened.
"Yu Qian, I'm waiting for you to come. A phrase floated out of the forest.
"The thief is gone!" Yu Qian, who was floating in mid-air, rushed out of the forest with Olinger Shaman and the others.
