Book VIII, Chapter XVIII
Three hours later, the Red City Crown Mercenary Group was in charge.
As the fourth-ranked Terran mercenary group of the six mercenary groups, the leader of the group, Alec Saisi, often has a sense of superiority.
This sense of superiority was innate, and as the second son of a hereditary earl, he did not want to compete with his brother for the inheritance, because the trust he had received from the old head had already made him benefit more than the lifeless aristocratic family.
After the old leader retired, his reputation was already great among the Terrans and even in the whole of Osiria, and he had already far surpassed the empty earl of his own family. However, the education of the nobles from a young age and the embellishment brought by power made him a mysterious distance from those mercenaries who were mostly born in commoners. He was a sturdy but elegant man, an erudite but uninhibited conservative playboy, with a variety of contradictory personalities and temperaments mixed with such a head who was always combed with neat blonde hair, and even brought a different kind of cohesion to his Red City Crown.
Life is enough to do what it is now. He often said this to himself, and every time he said this sentence in his heart, he would be complacent, and a sense of superiority would arise spontaneously.
His main goal now is to sit the lovely Red City Crown in the position of the second mercenary group in the world in his lifetime.
Second, of course, who would dare to go to the gun first?!
The cold reality pulled him out of his sense of superiority, and he adjusted the focus of his eyes to the mahogany desk in his ornate main tent.
It was a leaf that looked like it had been rusted for days.
The resources that the Red City Crown Mercenary Group brought him were not only enjoyment and the satisfaction of desires, but more importantly, to make his dream of becoming a strong man come true. All kinds of rare resources make his ordinary qualifications no longer ordinary. In less than forty, he had already jumped to the fourth-level mid-level power tier, which was even stronger than the strength of those mercenary group leaders who were still ranked high in the Red City Crown.
He reached out and picked up the nail leaf and examined it carefully. The thick carapace is made up of five layers of different materials. The top layer is a titanium plate with a quartz film, the second layer is an artificial sea surface for insulation, the third layer is a silk chain armor layer to prevent sharp punctures from going deeper, the fourth layer is asbestos for cushioning, and the fifth layer is a cashmere lining for comfort. The only one who could afford such a luxurious armor was the wealthy Central Army, and he looked at these exquisite fragments and fantasized about when his Red City Crown could be so perfectly configured. Then, maybe you can take a big step towards the second mercenary group.
"You should focus your attention on it and not take advantage of this opportunity to imagine the future. Captain Alec. An impatient female voice came from a dark corner behind him. Alec felt like a basin of ice water pouring down from the air, and he was startled.
She was from a high-ranking member of the Cross Brigades, a super-monster organization whose real name was the Cross Brigade, and she even had the power to mobilize the leaders of these mercenary groups at any time, who were not worth mentioning compared to them.
"Of course, Master Gigmont. Alec wiped a handful of cold sweat from his forehead. He began to think carefully about whether he had ever seen such a strange armor damage. The first layer of quartz titanium plate has been completely corroded. It seems to be some kind of acid, but the acid does not lightly corrode the outermost quartz film. The artificial sea surface layer and the chain mail layer are even more corroded, and there is almost no leftovers, which is like the effect of the fire attribute Dou Qi, but the fire attribute Dou Qi will leave a melt mark on the chain mail layer, instead of a charred black etch. The strangest thing to him was that the asbestos layer had not been completely destroyed, and such a unique fighting spirit seemed to stop abruptly here, leaving only a thin layer of black marks on the asbestos. The cashmere underneath is even more intact.
"Lord Gigmont, I'm more likely to have this been an armor damage caused by a fire mage. I don't think there is a certain kind of fighting spirit in the known vindictive energy system that can cause such scars. ”
"Not to mention that they have personally proven to be martial artists who use dark attribute fighting energy, and there is not a trace of magic left on them at all, unless this magician is already strong enough for us to find out the details of him, but then he can easily cross the border, so why bother to give these patrolmen a non-fatal blow?" Gigmont stepped out of the shadows, wearing a pure black mask that covered half of her face, and the tight blue-black knight outfit brought her a bit of mysterious charm.
"Then I'll have to trust my judgment, since you mercenary captains are all so ambiguous. Jigmont picked up the blade with a lightless dagger, "I know a demon who has a strange fighting spirit that is different from any martial arts system today, called 'Dark Essence Qi'. I didn't believe he came to Edelstein, because our previous network had always believed that he was still safe in the Minar Forest, and I trusted mine very much. ”
Alec stared blankly at the woman who danced with the darkness, the commander of the Fifth Brigade of the Cross Brigade.
"Do you know who he is?"
“...... I don't know. ”
"He, like the leader of the Black Wings, Orka, was one of the captains of the Dark Legion five hundred years ago. We can believe that he came here because of Orca. ”
If there was any way to quickly raise his Red City Crown to an unbelievable height, the easiest way would be a successful attack on Orka, the leader of the Black Wings.
"Orka has returned from Nanyang City?"
Gigmont gave him a disdainful smile: "Overestimating yourself is going to kill you, you better be careful." ”
Immediately Gigmont walked to the door, and when she half-pushed the door open, she turned her head and said, "There is no harm in believing in miracles - if you can really do it, I will protect the crown of Red City and ascend to the throne of the first mercenary group in the world." ”
Alec's breathing suddenly became rapid, and the information had determined that Orka was not a super powerhouse who had passed the fifth level, and she was still trapped in the middle level of the fourth level, which was the same strength as herself. The failure of the previous challengers was simply because they didn't have a strong team! He had analyzed the defeat of the Holy Emperor Knights in Operation Folded Wings. It was the Knight Commander who underestimated Orka's command ability because he was overconfident, and Grivar's downfall was due to Grivar's lack of nimble side attack ability - and that. In the eyes of a highly malleable mercenary group, it's not a problem!
Thinking of this, his heart became more and more hot, and he immediately rushed to the back of his desk, and a bold action began to take shape.
Just as Alec was feverishly gathering the powerhouses of the Red City Crown to the main tent for a meeting, Gigmont lazily turned his head to look at the hot conference room.
"I don't even know if I'm using you as a test knife...... Idiot. "After this period of time, the Minar Forest has regained its calm and harmonious atmosphere. The forests of the new year are filled with drowsy damps. Sometimes, when Mastma and Julian, along with the Mongol students, looked at the wolf camps on the north and south sides. It's an hour in a daze.
She doesn't think she's a good teacher, or a good babysitter. With the flow of funds between the small hospital and the wolf clan, coupled with her efforts, the demon tribe Libby, who moved out of Minnar's dark life, gradually dispersed their high wariness of the human race. Soon. Those clever demons began to use the food they had hoarded for a long time to make a deal with the wolf clan who didn't know how to plant. Soon it developed to the point that the wolf clan hired young demon people to select and sow seeds for their own farmland. In the most important season of spring, most of the young people went to work in the land cultivated by the wolf clan, and the rest of the people sitting by the tent fire were conservative old people and children with simple faces.
In order to strengthen a nation, it is necessary to do a good job in education. The concept of education is one of the deep-rooted national concepts of the demons, even in the dark days of the Minar Forest, the demons did not completely give up education, but because they lost a lot of things in the process of fleeing, the culture of the demons was not so complete in their concepts in the past. To make up for this shortcoming. Mastma did his best to supplement and connect the broken history of the demons, and wrote a history textbook of tens of thousands of words. This forced her to spend a free time reminiscing about the past.
As for the arts, sciences and the like, she went to the Terran library a few times. Although her demon status made her encounter some resistance, but in the end, she still borrowed some models of various basic science textbooks of the human race, and after copying and copying magic day and night, finally every demon child was able to get in touch with these most basic technical magic theories and mathematics, astronomy and other things.
Mastma stared at the few thick calluses on the knuckles of her fingers, all of which she had left over from all these days.
"It's finally over, isn't it?" said Mastma to Julian, who was sitting not far from her. At this moment, Julian is exactly like Lowe - this is the unique life transfiguration magic of the elves, used to interfere with the omnipresent spies who are watching here. The news of Lowe's departure from Minar Forest was something he had repeatedly told him not to keep quiet.
Fortunately, Julian's temperament is not much different from Lowe's, and Mastma will not be in a trance when he looks at him. However, Julian, who is familiar with the relationship between Lovian and Mastma, always has the urge to sit on pins and needles when he appears in front of Mastma.
Julian nodded stiffly, "You'll be able to see the vanguard of the Holy Sect in the afternoon, and it will take at least eight hours for 200,000 people to get through this avenue - I should let the people avoid it now." ”
"No, with the wolf clan, they won't be so impulsive. "But...... Just in case, I'll take a trip to the wolf clan in a while, Forrest Gump and Ai'an have two other fourth-level powerhouses, and the tip power is best screwed together. I suspect the remnants of the Bruce family might fish in troubled waters. ”
"Teacher, you helped the Holy Emperor in the first place—with all due respect, I feel like it was a mistake. ”
"Now there is no point in judging whether to be wrong or not, we have to face the reality that is coming. Mastma said indifferently, "When your senior brother is away, remember to train reasonably every day according to Luo Wei'an's plan, and don't desert me like last time." ”
“...... Got it, teacher. ”
Mastma stood up like a pike spear, fluttering her wings and flying towards the wolf colony to the north.
A few simple strokes sketched a wild wolf's head on the white leather tent, and a golden lantern hung from the long red pole outside the white king's tent. Outside the tent, a childish boy wore a white leather robe adorned with gold carvings. Forrest Gump held the eleven or twelve-year-old child in one hand. The other hand held a golden jade medallion.
Standing on either side of Forrest Gump were two warriors, Ai'an, the former Terran god of war, holding a Maha more than three meters long, looking at those below who looked or were rude. Or a shrewd clansman. On the other side is a middle-aged wolf warrior who is much shorter than Ai'an, and it can be easily seen that this warrior's cheeks are seven or eight points similar to Forrest Gump, which is also another strong man of the wolf clan who has reached the fourth level, and he is Forrest Gump's father.
In front of Forrest Gump, there are more than 500 royal tent guards of the wolf clan, which are the most elite forces of the wolf clan. Armed with a powerful weapon blessed with magic. It seemed to stand loosely in front of the king's tent, but it erupted with an indescribable wildness and murderous aura. And Forrest Gump, who seems to be plain and expressionless, has become the center of these five hundred tigers and wolves. All the wildness and murderous aura vanished as it swirled around the wolf clan as the High Priestess.
The little boy holding his hand standing in front of Forrest Gump is the only son of the previous generation of wolf king Cold Hammer, and the contemporary wolf king Qi Yue. Xiao Qiyue's mind is still immature. As the spiritual leader of the wolf clan, Forrest Gump naturally became the helmsman of the wolf clan. Now. The jade seal held in Forrest Gump's hand represented the authority of the wolf clan's royal power, and he just seemed to show that he was just a wolf clan sacrifice, not a wolf king.
Forrest Gump's father, Gufa, is a long-established fourth-level warrior of the wolf clan, who once participated in the battle with Cold Hammer against the Holy Pope of the Earth, Pope Ulysses II, and the dragon knight Kosol. Without Cold Hammer's instructions and Forrest Gump's methods, that seemingly undefeated battle of the wolf clan would have been a different story entirely.
Ai On is a complete newcomer, with an unclear memory of level 5 strength. At the third level, she was completely able to not fall behind in the sparring with the ancient law. Her young and strong strength has made her the idol of this generation of wolf youth, and her suitors are naturally not a few. However, she was so focused on martial arts that she completely ignored these. As the second samurai of the wolf clan, she is certainly qualified to stand by the side of the wolf king.
Seeing that Mastma was engaged in such a formal ceremony, he stopped playfully and gathered among the ordinary people of the wolf clan in the distance.
"Ahh
Mastma, who was not very familiar with the Terran language, listened to this thick accent and struggled to understand what it meant, and said after considering the words: "This, the Great Priest said this, and did not let us worry about anyone else, such as a dragon knight?"
"Wow, there's such a thing in that corner," beckoned the old lady, "isn't it just a cold hammer dead!
Masterma hurriedly mumbled a few times, not knowing if the consciousness he understood was what the old lady wanted to say. At this time, Forrest Gump was handing over the jade seal to Xiao Qiyue, and the young wolf king took the jade seal quite formally, and then Forrest Gump took off the golden lantern hanging from the long red pole behind his back and held it in his arms.
Lantern - Guiding the way, this is the spiritual leadership that represents the Great Sacrifice. The Butterfly Wingstaff of Rebirth landed on Forrest Gump's shoulder, like a real butterfly. With this artifact alone, he has the capital to compete with the fourth-level powerhouse, and the combat power of the magician can surpass the warriors of the same level by a large margin, and even without the rebirth butterfly wing staff, Forrest Gump can also deal with the fourth-level warrior for a long time. In the wolf race, a small human race, Forrest Gump at this moment is already recognized as the strongest. And judging from his age, it was only a matter of time before he became a fourth-level Ice Thunder Great Mage, and the reason why many wolf people did not panic because of Cold Hammer's death was because he was a super strong man.
The sturdy wolf clan king's tent elite responded with a bang, and then the wolf warriors with two or three meters of battle axes and war hammers on their backs, and more ordinary wolf clan guards rushed onto the mainland road not far from them, nailing them to both sides of the continent like nails.
Mastma felt Forrest Gump nod at her from a long distance, so she hurriedly said goodbye to the old lady and flew over with her wings.
Forrest Gump, Gufa, Ai'an, and the last to arrive at Mastma gathered in the Wolf King's tent.
A golden lantern symbolizing the status of the high priest floats in the center of the tent, emitting a unique translucent light. It is not dazzling, but it reflects every detail of the spacious royal tent without windows.
"Qi Yue, go to District Nine to find your mother. Forrest Gump took off Qi Yue's rather heavy robe, which was covered with gold ornaments. He also stuffed the jade seal in his hand into a secret box in the king's tent. Xiao Qiyue looked at these strong men who he could feel the strong pressure, and hurriedly nodded and got out of the back door of the king's tent.
"Celius. Forrest Gump recited a mantra lightly, and the Reborn Butterfly Wing Staff on his shoulder shook its wings, and suddenly an invisible barrier enveloped the entire royal tent.
"It must be clear to everyone that His Majesty Sinas has told us the news of the collusion between the Holy Sect and the remnants of Bruce. While we first thank His Majesty the Holy Emperor, we should also prepare some details at the end. After all, this piece of information is not absolutely certain, but there is only one percent of the possibility. We have to make 100% efforts to avoid this.
"I'm really sorry, I've done so much work, and there will be a lot of clichés. Forrest Gump laughed self-deprecatingly. Sitting down in his place relaxed, "Miss Masterma, you have dealt with the dragon knight the most in the present, how do you think things should be handled?"
Mastma looked around. Everyone seemed to be fairly confident about the impending threat. This is a good state, after all, the enemy is not strong enough to make him completely unable to deal with Cheng Dù.
"The best thing to do is to separate, as I said before, but I just recalled that something might happen. That is the dragon master created by the mage and the dragon clan signing a contract. ”
"Dragon Master?" Gu Fa said in a low voice, "Your Majesty didn't tell us about this. ”
"But what is certain is that the Bruce family has a dragon master, and I have fought against them. And - they were not killed. Mastma said gloomily, because anything related to the pinnacle dragon master, the dragon god Fried, would cause her to fall into a slight loss of control.
"They will definitely distance themselves from the Holy Religion. But the advance with the army dragged on too long. Perhaps the hours before or after the march could be a reason for them to explain that they had nothing to do with the Holy Religion. Forrest Gump said, knocking on the table. "They must also be prepared for defeat, and in case they escape, they can also use the army as a cover, and even the Holy Cult may attack us with a high-sounding presence because our battle involves their march - it is entirely possible. ”
Ai An reached out and handed the pocket watch to Forrest Gump, who gave her a surprised look.
"There are less than five hours left before the expected arrival time, and if they want to use the cover of the army to increase their stakes for victory, the time is already up. I strengthened the power of the wolves on the side of the road, and warned them not to use the excuse that we were blocking or disrupting their march to both sides of the road—I would not let them dare to think so. Forrest Gump held his pocket watch and said coldly.
"We're just waiting here?" said Gufa slowly.
"We have an intelligence advantage, they don't know that we already know about it. He thought it was a surprise attack. Mastma concluded.
The spiritual power was suddenly released from Mastma's spiritual space, and in an instant, it broke out of the shielding barrier set up by Forrest Gump, and dispersed into the sky above them like a cloud. The diluted psychic power couldn't see exactly what was happening, but it was able to determine the attack of a powerful force.
As the minutes passed, the wolf clan station and the demon tribe were still carrying out their normal activities as usual in an orderly manner. The young men of the wolf clan are either practicing their martial arts in the training grounds, or learning something in the tents full of books. From time to time, the huge carriage stopped at the gate of the wolf clan, and many people rushed up, and those who did not squeeze into the carriage shouted loudly.
In the demon tribe, diligent demon farmers carefully and quickly sow seeds or seedlings in the new fertile land. There is a regular rattle of spinning wheels in the workshop, and every once in a while, a trolley transports various handmade products out.
The sun gradually rises to its highest level and then begins to slowly set towards the west.
Mastma closed his eyes, and his diffused spiritual power finally felt the disturbance that did not conform to the rules of life here.
"How many hours are left for the Holy Cult army to arrive?"
"They're coming?" Gufa whispered, his muscles tensing in a voice that was clear, all the while wearing nervousness and a frenzy for battle.
Masterma nodded.
"From where??" said Gufa, about to step out of the tent and look at the sky.
"No, they came from over there. The dragon didn't use its original form. Mastma said calmly, her pupils not focused, as she focused all her attention on her diffuse mental field.
Spiritual power makes up the clouds, which will not be disturbed by the wind, but will be disturbed by another powerful spiritual force.
"I guessed right, there really is a dragon master still alive. Mastma didn't notice that his teeth were clenched subconsciously when he said the second half of the sentence, "They haven't noticed me yet, although the dragon master is a little suspicious." ”
Mastma pushed away her chair and stood up, and the moment she turned around, the murderous aura and blade-like sharpness that made everyone feel pain in their eyes slowly released from this demon girl. It was as if a cold dagger was slowly stroking through the neck, not fast, but with a terrifying homicidal intent and absolute coldness without temperature.
Whether it was the fourth-level ancient method or the powerful Forrest Gump, he couldn't speak at this moment, only Ai'an, who had been silent, suddenly widened his eyes in this strong evil aura and might, as if he saw some of his strange past in the distorted air.
She subconsciously reached forward, but didn't catch anything.
What kind of world is this to leave such a cruel mark of hatred on the demon girl who is still soothing her in the mood for love. Even the opponent who caused such hatred only had a slight resemblance to her enemy.
Five hundred years ago, the bloody battlefield was full of troubled times......
Mastma stepped out of the tent, and the snow and frost energy surged through her like a boil, and then burst from her wings, and a flash of blue lightning rushed in the direction of the Minar Forest.
"Be careful!-"
The Dragon Master, who was standing behind Kosol, finally noticed that the diffused spiritual mist had suddenly retreated in a certain direction, and he immediately shouted loudly. The power of the contract immediately made his dragon companion understand the situation, and the dragon who had turned into a human form was about to roar up to the sky and use the dragon power to liberate his body from the human body.
Blue lightning has arrived.
Kosol, whose strength had already reached the peak of the third level, finally showed the consternation he deserved in his elegant expression, and he and his contract dragon acted at about the same time. In the blue lightning that blinded his eyes, a blue-purple blade poked out, and slashed at the dragon master's contract partner who raised his head and prepared for the dragon's roar.
Pure silver spears and fists covered in black crystal dragon scales blasted with blue lightning almost instantly.
Kosol's absolute strength has surpassed that of Mastersma, and the fourth-level Dark Dragon, Viriodo, is even more able to completely suppress Mastersma in pure strength.
But Mastma's speed was already extremely fast at the moment, and even with such a powerful force, it would be difficult to drastically change her trajectory in such a short period of time.
This made a single sword that was able to cut off the dragon master's contract dragon head, only slicing his throat.
A puddle of blood splattered on the blue lightning, and it was frozen into a shimmering red ice crystal, nailed deep into the trunks of the surrounding trees.
"Raniesseca!!—" Veliodo, Kosol's contract dragon, exclaimed, and an even more ferocious punch slammed into the Blue Storm.
Then, under Veliodo's astonished gaze, the blade turned in an incredible direction, nailed to the gap in her black crystal dragon scales, and then used her formidable strength as the basis of the rotation point, and the swift form suddenly turned in an arc. (To be continued......)
