Chapter 436: Semi-elementalization
"Resonant 12 elemental rank beginner knights have 5 times the strength of ordinary soldiers once they run their fighting energy, and they are physically and mentally united, quick to react, good at controlling emotions, and able to exert their own strength to the limit. In fact, the strength and skill of a beginner knight are enough to hurt any living being...... The senior knights who resonate with the 24 elemental positions are equivalent to twice the strength of the beginner knights, and their physique, stamina, reaction speed, and perception are far superior to the beginner knights. ”
Victor sighed, "The knight is indeed the darling of the elemental sea. ”
"But they're not invincible. ”
Nelson said with a deep gaze: "Anyone who makes a move will produce results, and the Cavaliers are no exception. For example, you can't slash if you block, you can't stab you if you slash, you can't stab your eyes if you stab your heart, and the different choices of the opposing sides determine their own victory or defeat. And victory or defeat is often a matter of moments. Although I am not a knight, I naturally know how to shoot and when to strike, just like the War Bear mercenary group encountered the Sassan knight in the Wharton Prairie, and in the face of his leaping slash, I didn't even think about it, I rushed up and slashed him to death. Afterwards, I also admitted that if he had fallen, I would have been no match for him. ”
"Huh. ”
Victor looked Nelson up and down and said in amazement, "You are now speaking like a master scholar." ”
The first few sentences were said by Tournans. Nelson smiled and said, "He also said that the knight's Psychic Fire focuses on balance and control, while my Psychic Fire focuses on combat intuition. Who is strong and who is weak, you will only know if you have fought. Anyway, with my current strength, I can definitely threaten the Silver Knight. ”
"Combat intuition...... A bit of a predictive flavor. It is said that a barbarian berserker once slain the Golden Knight with his combat instincts. It's clearly a transcendent gift. Victor nodded, and solemnly admonished: "But you must not be careless, there are times when your intuition is wrong, especially in the face of unknown enemies." ”
Victor stood up, put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth in the middle of the study, and said with a serious expression: "You can't imagine how powerful the transcendent knight is. ”
Nelson is Victor's number one general, and he has a prominent position in the Randall family. If Nelson dies in battle, Victor's military and political system will suffer a major blow. But in this world, the human kingdom built an army with knights as the core, and formed a unique military culture, promoting the martial spirit of knights, so as to inspire the fighting spirit of soldiers. Even the king of Gambis was killed in battle, and even Sylvia had to go into battle to kill Ant-Man, and Nelson, as the leader of the Randall family's army, had no room to retreat from the battle.
Although it is said that raising troops for a thousand days is used for a while, Victor still hopes to minimize the danger. The superior generally does not reveal the secrets of the transcendent knights to ordinary people, and Turnans did not inform Nelson of the relevant information, but Victor can't care so much now.
"The more elemental bits a knight has, the stronger his strength becomes, but the Silver Knight's greatest advantage is the embodiment of the Void element. ”
Victor paused, frowned, and said, "There are two types of Silver Knight's application of the Void Element. The first is the release of the Void Element, forming an elemental force field of varying sizes. At this time, the Silver Knight's strength and physique decrease, agility and speed increase, and perception remains the same. Any person or object that enters the force field will be subject to additional gravitational effects, ranging from one pound to several pounds, and the more condensed the force field, the stronger the gravitational effect. In other words, the enemy's weapon or arrow is hung with a heavy object, losing its accuracy and speed, and the weak enemy may even feel chest tightness and shortness of breath, making it difficult to breathe. The Silver Knight can also suddenly double the effect of gravity, distorting melee opponents' movements and creating flaws. This flaw is certainly fatal. ”
"In a group battle with many enemies?" said Nelson, "no wonder Austin Buryatia killed our elite guards as easily as chickens." I said, how could their movements be so badly deformed? ”
Victor nodded, and continued: "Another application method of the Void Earth Element is diametrically opposed to the force field field, and it is entirely for the purpose of breaking through. ”
"The Silver Knight has condensed the Void Elemental in his body, his strength, speed, and perception have skyrocketed, his agility has not changed, and his body and bones are incredibly strong, which is truly ......rock-solid," Victor was silent, and said with jealousy, "I can still maintain enough dexterity to give full play to my full strength." ”
"If they are equipped with Mithril armor and longsword, the Void Elemental can also strengthen these equipment, with a strength beyond Adamantite and an elemental barrier attached to it, which can deal at least hundreds of pounds of concussive damage. Victor looked up at Nelson and said, "Fortunately, Austin didn't have Mithril equipment at the beginning, so he only used most of his strength...... Of course, even if he had a full set of Mithril equipment, it wouldn't be difficult for me to kill him, but you'd be in danger. ”
Nelson said with a blazing gaze, "My lord, I am not what I used to be. Even if he is really cast of iron, I am confident that I can kill him!"
"It's not that simple. Victor shook his head and said, "After the Silver Knight restrained the Void Element, his body has the extraordinary characteristics of semi-elementalization, and there are almost no weaknesses. ”
Nelson asked curiously, "What do you mean by semi-elementalization?"
Victor chuckled and said, "The arm is cut off without bleeding...... Or just a little bit and pick it up and get back to fighting. It doesn't matter if the internal organs are broken or the bones are broken...... As long as the Void Elemental is still in motion, no damage will affect the Transcendent Knight's combat power. ”
Nelson's eyes widened and he stammered, "What about that......?" That gut flow out doesn't affect the battle?"
"If you can't bleed, will your intestines come out?" Victor said, staring at him, "Even if it comes out, just stuff it back." If it really doesn't work, don't want it, anyway, it doesn't matter. ”
"This ...... Is this still human?" Nelson muttered to himself.
"Otherwise, how can you call it a transcendent knight?"
Victor sighed, "Extraordinary knights are not mortal in the first place...... The semi-elemental state is not pure flesh and blood. They are temporarily immune to most damage. ”
"Looks like a great ......," Nelson said with envy.
Victor also envies the powerful effects of semi-elementalization, but the transcendent knight envies the moon elves even more.
With the bloodline talent, the Moon Elf can condense the Void Wind Element and absorb the Void Water Element. They are extraordinary, eternal in youth, and have a lifespan of at least 200 years. And the high-level knights are always subjected to the erosion and assimilation of the elemental sea, and can only live to 160 years old at most, and there will be emotional indifference.
No one wants to give up the joy of life in the pursuit of power. Semi-elementalization exacerbates the rate at which the Elemental Sea erodes the knight's soul. For high-ranking knights, great power represents a great burden.
"What about elementalization?" asked Nelson.
Victor gathered his thoughts and said expressionlessly, "Annihilation." The whole person turned into a void element and returned to the origin of the world. ”
"Unaffected, ignore the harm...... How is this going to be fought?" Nelson touched the back of his head, meditating there.
"Extraordinary knights are not invincible. Victor cut his neck and said, "The knight's head was hit hard, he couldn't run his fighting energy, the elemental bit stopped resonating, and the semi-elemental state was immediately lifted. ”
"In addition, the Void Elemental repairs damage on its own, but it is not good at doing this. The more seriously the Transcendent Knight is injured, the faster the Fighting Qi will be consumed, and when the Fighting Qi is exhausted, the damned will still die, the crippled will still be disabled, and even if he doesn't die, he only has half a life left. ”
"In the Silver Age, the Extraordinary Knight always charged into battle and then came back to the priest with a wound. In the end, the knight did not die, but the priest died of exhaustion first...... It was from that time that the knights and the clergy formed a life-and-death relationship. Victor shook his head and smiled: "I heard that the fourth-level paladins can heal themselves once every half a day, and before their magic skills are used, the golden knights can't compete with the silver-level paladins." ”
"Hora is not a paladin, he is not even a silver knight. However, he can step into the silver realm at any time and surprise you. As for how many elemental levels he can break through, it depends on his accumulation. Victor continued, "Also, as a son of the Ludwig family, he must have Mithril equipment. You have to be careful with that. ”
Nelson nodded, worried, "I'm only worried about the priest by his side......"
"There will be no priests, at least not on Dwemick's turf to accompany Count Hora. Victor smiled silently and said, "Sophia has taken Regazo and two Barbarian Weapon Masters to visit Dodor. They passed through Rock City, where the local bishop would gather all the clergy to keep an eye on Sophia...... After all, Rigzo launched a madness, and the extraordinary knights of the Dwemick family couldn't stop it. Compared to the safety of Count Hora, the high-ranking knights of the Dwemick family need the support of the clergy. ”
The church does not send a priest to escort Hora, in fact, it is a tacit understanding between Sylvia and the Pope. There was no need for Victor to mention the details behind it, and instead said, "Hora is not accompanied by a priest, but he must have a healing potion of the extraordinary kind...... I've got you a better regeneration potion, as well as a blood boiling potion. ”
"Thank you, sir. Nelson bowed and asked hesitantly, "What if...... What about Hora, that guy walking with the mistress?"
"Then it's none of our business. Victor sneered, "He will be killed for trying to offend the Marquess of Wimbleton...... I don't think there are many nobles who want to provoke the strange pinnacle Silver Knight, especially if she has a barbarian berserker by her side. After a pause, he added, "The large caravan led by Sophia and Rigzo is enough to contain the high-ranking knights and main legions of Ascending Stone City. According to aristocratic etiquette, the host cannot arrange more escorts for the guests than they do, otherwise they will be suspected of hijacking. Hora's men consisted of 2 knights, 4 trainee knights, 100 elite cavalry, dozens of minions, and the guards of the Dwemick family, who doubled their strength at most. ”
"Barrett's bear regiment is stationed in the mountains of Red Leaf Town, with a total number of more than 1,000, including more than 300 elite dead soldiers, 117 elite guards, more than 200 mountain hunters and wandering mercenaries, and the rest are some women and children. In addition, the saber-toothed tiger merchant group secretly mobilized more than 200 elite soldiers, 3 knights, and 6 trainee knights. Triss-sama ......" The corners of Victor's mouth curled into a gentle smile, and he lowered his head and said, "She will lead 5 Rose Knights and 26 Arcane warriors to cooperate with your actions.
"You can't beat Hora Ludwig with such a strong force, that's hell. Nelson high-fived himself and said excitedly.
"It's not as easy as you think. Victor shook his head and said, "If we want to show strength, we can't let Trisley take the lead." You can only mobilize the bears and saber-toothed tiger merchants, and you have to be careful to disguise the identity of the family's dead soldiers and elite guards...... You may not be able to use all your strength. ”
"We might as well do it ourselves......" Nelson said in a suffocated voice.
"Who's to say it isn't. Victor sighed and said, "I give you the power to make decisions on the fly and make sure that Tracery doesn't interfere with your plan of action. But I want to set a few principles for you, first, try to protect yourself, and don't force yourself. Second, the only goal is to deal with Count Hora, not to kill senselessly, but also not to hold back. Third, arrange a retreat route to prevent the pursuit and retaliation of the Dwemick family. ”
"Your Excellency. Nelson Randall, the Commander of the First Legion, obeys your orders!" Nelson struck his right chest with a fist, gave a military salute, stepped forward, and said eagerly, "When shall I leave?"
"Tonight, you pick a few guards and set off with the Rose Knight. ”
"Can I take Acre with me? This guy needs to see blood. Nelson asked.
Victor thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No, Aka's size is too dazzling, like a barbarian......" As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the door of the study.
The sound of high heels hitting the floor could be heard in the hallway. It didn't take long for Sophia to push open the door with Angelina and walk in.
She wore a well-fitting women's hunting suit, stepped on high-heeled leather boots, highlighted the perfect body curve, and the faint sorrow that shrouded her eyebrows was swept away, replaced by a vigorous and heroic spirit, and the whole person was like a rising sun, radiant and dazzling.
"Nelson has seen the Mistress Mother. Nelson stepped forward and saluted.
"Lord Nelson, don't be polite. Sophia gave him an appreciative look, her amethyst eyes turned to Victor, and she smiled coquettishly, "Honey, you're back." ”
Before Victor could answer, Anna said excitedly, "My lord, I am going to the land of the barbarians with my teacher. ”
Victor's eyes froze as he looked at his wife. Sophia explained: "I'm going to take Anna out to meet the world......
"No!" Victor interrupted Sophia with a grimace.
Sophia said with some displeasure: "How can a knight who grew up in a greenhouse achieve anything? I am Anna's teacher, and I am responsible for her." ”
"You don't count. Anna gloated at Victor and triumphantly hugged Sophia's arm.
This is what makes Sophia unpleasant, she is so tough, she doesn't know how to save face for her husband...... Victor withdrew his gaze from his wife's bewitching body, turned to Anna and said, "You can't go either, Lady Sylvia ordered you to go back to the Duke's Palace...... In the future, you may have to live in the palace forever. ”
Anna opened her mouth and was stunned for a long time before she reacted. Holding her flushed face, she turned and ran out.
Victor shook his head and commanded, "Nelson, you take a few men to escort Miss Anna back to the Duke's Palace." Be sure to protect her, anything can happen at this time. ”
"As you wish, my lord. Nelson strode out.
With a shocked expression on her face, Sophia froze and asked, "Honey, you mean...... Anna is going to marry the king?"
Victor returned to his seat and gave a faint hum.
Sophia rolled her eyes, closed the door, sat down on her husband's lap, twisted her buttocks, and asked with a silky look, "Honey, you haven't had dinner yet, do you?" Would you like to have a full meal or a light meal in the bedroom?"
Victor made sure that the activation talent was ready, and nodded, "Of course, it's a light meal in the bedroom." ”
"Good. I'm going to call Natalia. Dear husband, we are waiting for you in the bedroom. Sophia smiled, pecked her husband on the lips, got up, and left the study.
Sofia and Natalia visit the fortress of Harlots and it will take at least a little over a year to return to the city of Blinor. By the time they returned, Victor had already left the royal capital. In the future, Victor and Sophia have their own careers, and the two sides may not be able to meet several times a year.
The three of them all cherished tonight's gathering, but for the great nobles of Blinor, tonight was the beginning of a political storm in Gambis.
