Chapter 27: Hatred
"Grand Duke of Berumar ...... You ......" The princess slowly retreated in shock, nearly tripping over the stumbling pipes on the ground. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"That's right, I'm not dead. ”
The Regent's ribbed chest heaved slightly, and when he opened his eyes, the whites of them turned lifeless gray, and his dark pupils shimmered with a red glow, and his voice became hoarse and rough, like the sound of torn parchment.
"Don't forget, my advisor can work miracles and bring me back to the world with my heart pierced, which is not a difficult task for the black witch. ”
The Lord Regent looked straight at Princess Flora, "Your Royal Highness the Sun Elf, you are indeed commendable for breaking into here. But this is not the place for you, so let me put an end to your adventure. I think my proposal is fair enough, after all, girl, you didn't ask for my permission when you made a hole in my heart. ”
The infusion tube attached to the Regent's body was detached, and the base burst out with strong steam, and he slowly stood up, draped the tattered royal robe around his bare shoulders, and casually lifted a broken steel tube with a sharp tip, and strode towards the princess and Yuri. There was an inexplicable sense of oppression in him, and the teenagers clearly felt that they had only experienced this kind of fear and coldness that invaded the bone marrow when they fought against the champion knights.
In the princess's heart, the regent has always been a depressed middle-aged man, cowardly, sleek, and thoughtful, and because of this, in the martial Hazy Moon Forest, he can only be forever inferior to the young lord who is known for his bravery and good fighting. But what happened to this uncle, he will become the half-human, half-demon form he is now.
"Do you want to destroy the underground laboratory and deal a heavy blow to the Moon Elves?" the steel pipe dragged by the Lord Regent sparked on the ground, "I don't agree to such a thing. You feel sorry to see that I'm still alive, right?"
Yuri stepped forward to stand in front of the stunned princess and said to the regent, "On the contrary, if you don't blow up this device that collects dark energy under your feet, not only will the country of the Sun Elves completely collapse, but even you Moon Elves will fall into eternal calamity!"
The regent tilted his head and smiled slightly: "Your words are simply incomprehensible. ”
Yuri gritted his teeth and plucked up the courage to say loudly, "Do you think that the Witch in Black is really loyal to you? Is it really to bring prosperity to the Moon Elves by planning all this? Go out and see what the sky and rivers of Muntia have become! In fact, there is no need for this, just think about how healthy you used to be, and how broken your body is now, you will understand that the Witch in Black has not let you have good luck at all!"
The regent sneered: "It's ridiculous, it's obvious that the princess next to you who is worried about the country and the people assassinated me." ”
The princess finally came to her senses, and said in a low voice, "It is indeed my hand that holds the dagger." But it is the demonic text on the peace treaty that pushes my hand towards you. The Witch in Black has already placed a curse on the scroll, and it will surely make me angry and want to kill you. I am sincerely sorry for my actions, Grand Duke of Berumar, but please believe that this assassination was planned by the Black Witch for a long time, and that you and I are nothing more than her sacrifice for the darkness to come. ”
The Lord Regent snorted, "I've always known that the Sun Elves are known for their sophistry. ”
The princess clenched her fists and argued loudly: "It's not sophistry, Lord Regent, what kind of commander would use magic to draw blood from the bodies of his fallen soldiers and create a storm of blood to attack the enemy's airship troops! I'm not a general, but even I know that seeking victory or defeat on the battlefield and hoping that your army will reduce casualties is an eternal iron rule, but the black witch can even break this iron rule, which shows that in her heart, the final winner is herself, not the moon elf!"
Yuri also nodded indignantly: "Yes, Lord Regent, your soldiers, heeded your call and were determined to fulfill your ambitions, but now their loyalty and bravery have undoubtedly been exploited by the Black Witch. As a leader, shouldn't you think about the lives of the soldiers who follow you?"
"So we don't want to fight you," said the princess, "and it would be great if you could walk back to the surface and tell everyone that you are still alive, and let the hatred of the assassination wear off." ”
The Regent looked down at the teenagers with a cold look in his eyes, "Why should I do this?"
The princess said expectantly, "I am not only interceding for my country and my people, Lord Regent, but only by doing so can your beloved country and people be redeemed together with the Sun Elves." ”
The slogan of the regent's war is to seize the land and keep the moon elves away from poverty and live a happy and prosperous life. Therefore, in the princess's mind, he should be a fanatical nationalist, a careerist who will do anything to make the motherland and the nation dominant.
But the Lord Regent bared his scorched teeth and laughed wildly, "I hate the Sun Elves, and this is something that even a three-year-old child knows. But who told you that I love my country?"
The Regent's thin body suddenly burst into a burst of madness, and it was impossible for the wind to rise in the closed laboratory, but his tattered royal robes were still raised high: "I hate the Moon Elves the same, no less than the Sun Elves! If the two can perish together in the flames of war I have set off, it will be my life's wish! The Black Witch was cultivated by my own hands, she is just trying to fulfill my ambitions, and I have to say, she has done a very good job!"
The princess and Yuri looked at each other: "What......? It was cultivated by the Prince Regent himself?"
The heavy steel pipe in the regent's hand slammed down: "That's right! This underground abyss was developed by me, and it existed long before that girl appeared!"
The princess and Yuri leap apart, dodging the regent's onslaught. And the regent reflexively threw the steel pipe at Yuri, and roared: "And you don't understand what this country has done to me!"
Yuri crossed the slash to block the steel pipe, which swirled into the ceiling. Yuri was puzzled, the power of the imposing regent throwing was not very great, which made him more confident-
Since the regent is all he can do, I can easily subdue this guy by force and bring him back to the surface.
Yuri then jumped back to the ground with his feet on the wall, easily sliced open the hose the Lord Regent had drawn, and roared and fired a blade cannon at the wall, grabbing the Lord Regent by the collar and retracting the steel cable, holding him firmly against the wall.
The princess said nervously, "Be careful, Yuri!"
"Don't worry, I won't hurt this guy!"
The princess shook her head anxiously, "I mean...... You have to be careful! The aura on the Regent's body is unusual. ”
Yuri was stunned for a moment, and a warm current welled up in his heart, it seemed that he had not received such sincere care for a long time since he left Teacher Qiao Luya. Although Virgy is a trustworthy partner, he never seems to be so straightforward.
"Don't worry, Flora. This uncle's strength is mediocre, and we can send him back to the ground in good shape. ”
However, just as Yuri was careless, the regent's face was bruised, and he pushed Yuri away with unusual force, picked up a piece of horn iron and turned around and pulled it towards Yuri. Yuri relied on his fighting instinct to raise his sword with one hand to block, but he was swept away by the horn iron, and he spun off and flew away.
Yuri's heart was shocked, he had worked swordsmanship for more than ten years, and he knew that losing his weapon on the battlefield was equal to losing his life, and his hand holding the sword had always been extremely calm, no matter what kind of fierce opponent he faced, he had been tyrannized a lot of times, but the number of times the long sword was taken off was really rare.
And now the regent, a middle-aged man who seems to only mess around and smash and has no combat skills, can make Yuri lose his sword with a single blow.
What's going on with this sudden burst of strange power?
"Even a lowly wandering knight like you dare to try to embarrass me?"
The Regent's eyes were red, and the beast-like aura on his body suppressed the remnants of humanity almost imperceptibly.
"You make me feel very angry!"
The Lord Regent picked up a piece of the crumbling ceiling, grasped the steel bars embedded in it with one hand, and lifted the hundred-pound piece with ease, and smashed it down like a cyclops wielding a giant war hammer. Using the Wind Mandate, Yuri summoned the Wings of Emerald to slam his body high, leaping backwards to avoid the earth-shattering blow, only to see the fragments of the building directly turn into dust, and the solid ground was actually rippling, and all the exposed metal pipes burst into flames at the same time, and a huge roar pierced through his ears, shaking his brain dizzy.
The dark figure of the regent was blurry and turbulent in the smoke and dust, only the red eyes flashed with an ominous light.
"Whoever tries to hurt me, I will return ten times the pain you have inflicted on me!"
The regent held a long steel pipe in each hand, as if holding two spears, suddenly burst into flames, kicked the ground with one kick, and his body flew sideways, and catapulted at Yuri at the speed of a cannonball: "Die, stinky boy!"
If it weren't for the princess's rain of hidden weapons in the air, forcing the regent to swing a steel pole to defend, Yuri, who lost his weapon, was killed by a blow after all.
The Lord Regent did not know how to fight, and his defense was full of flaws, and the steel dart left many subtle wounds on his body, and the terrible thing was that these wounds seemed to multiply his strength again.
"It's not something a smart person would do to provoke me!"
