Chapter 32 / A Dance of Ice and Steel

ps: This is today's festival.,Covered your teeth and wrote 3,005.,Look at it.,I can't modify it......

“...... Have you started......"

With the moon ring like a cover, the night breeze blowing the long silver ponytail, Abel looked at the sudden flames in the distance, and a trace of worry crossed behind the black-framed lenses: "Miles is a member of the church...... It should be fine, right?"

The black-robed priest stood beside him, and Andrewson's expression remained unchanged: "Don't worry, judging from the fluctuation of magic power, the strength of this spell does not exceed 5 rings. And now in the hands of Archduke Ferdinand, there is no truth-level mage. ”

Abel nodded, indeed, compared to truth-level knights, truth-level mages who can destroy an entire elite army are even rarer. Under the deliberate suppression of the emperor and the church, there are indeed many truth-level mages in Nanling, but there are really not many people who can be called Feldennan's henchmen.

Although the war with Nanling Fu [***] is over, the sporadic resistance and post-war reconstruction have not yet been resolved, and the few truth-level mages in Ferdinand's hands are all staying in the south to take charge of the overall situation at this time, and the number of people in White Rose City is zero.

Abel didn't know what Federnand was thinking, maybe he really didn't realize the crisis. But in any case, it also gives them a golden opportunity for these attackers.

"Then let's get going. Abel said to Andrewson, "The Miles Church has taken a huge risk and created an opportunity for us, and we must cherish it." ”

“...... No. However, as the proposer of the plan, Andrewson shook his head slowly, he had been staring at the Duke's Palace for a while, and his eyes had never relaxed for a moment, but now he turned to the place where the flames were rising, "Father Abel, do you know what that flame reminds me of?"

"The flame?" Abel was a little confused.

With the middle finger of his white-gloved right hand, Andrewson gently pushed down the glasses on the bridge of his nose—

"The troll. Behind the glasses of the black-robed priest, a pale frenzy burned, "The feeling of the flame just now is very strange, the fluctuation of magic power is very small, but the effect of the spell is far beyond the scope of ordinary 5-ring spells-"

"Alchemy of Fire...... No, it's far from that simple...... "Although Andrewson didn't know the explosion mechanism of the cloud agent explosion, his rich combat experience made him instinctively detect the anomaly in the spell.

"You mean...... Evanian?" Abel hesitated for a moment, then confirmed him.

"Quite possibly. Andrewson replied.

“...... So what should I do? Sister Alance should have set off at this time......" Abel realized that at this time, there was a choice in front of them, the original plan was to cut off the tail of the gecko and concentrate all their strength on attacking one place, but now the sudden appearance of the flame mushroom cloud made them hesitate.

It is impossible for the Inquisitor, who is already overstretched, to detach another force to confirm the situation, and this will only return everything to the beginning.

So...... The choice is coming, left or right?

Abel gradually retracted his incomprehensible, harmless smile: "Father Andrewson...... Time is running out. ”

He looked at the black-robed priest quietly, and in his opinion, he would rather choose the Duke's Palace, because even if he missed Evan Ian, he would still have a chance to save Lamberts and Kate.

"Father Abel—" Andrewson was unconfused, "you take the Thirteen Branches to the Duke's Palace, and you can't do without you." ”

"As for the ...... confirmation," the priest grinned and smiled feverishly, "I'll leave it to me." ”。

Miles slashed the magic missile in front of him with a sword, leaping from the spot, and the next moment, his feet were covered in the flames of the explosion.

With his left hand on the ground, he somersaulted to the ground, and the moment he stood firm, he wanted to charge towards Evanian, but the oncoming Black Knight forced him back.

He had a feeling that, except for the beginning, the black knights had reservations in the later grappling, and they did not exert their full strength, a little like they were ...... Cat and mouse?!

"Tsk...... Jumping around like a flea...... "A magic missile and a fireball spell, although it is only a low-level spell combination, in the hands of a good battle mage, it is enough to cause obstacles to a truth-level knight. But at this moment, these two spells were easily flashed by Miles, but Evan Ian was not angry, he was very conscious, although his magic power was extraordinary, but he was a half-person like an academic who was not an academic school, a combat school and a non-combat school, and he was still far from a qualified mage.

As for the negative slackness of the Black Knights, Evan Ian had noticed the problem, but unlike Miles, he knew very well why the Black Knights were doing this-

It must have been Federnand's order again.

Ferdinand is a typical armed imperial nobleman, from his casual discarding of government affairs to Evan Ian, although the elite education from childhood to adulthood has prevented Ferdinand from being blind to such things as government affairs, but he still doesn't like it after all.

He prefers to lead troops to fight in battles than to govern territories, and when Evanian's mother, Princess Vicky, was still alive, Ferdinand's surname was slightly restrained. But when Evan and his mother were assassinated, Ferdinand went to Yanjing and cut down several nobles, even the front yard of the Yenching Church collapsed. After returning to Nanling empty-handed, he focused on exterminating the rebel party in Nanling, even if he later married Evan Ian's stepmother Shirley, this temper did not change.

It wasn't until Evan Ian recognised him and consciously regained his father's love that Feldenan gradually became the gentle he is now.

In short, after cutting people for a lifetime and fighting a lifetime of war, what Ferdinand pays most attention to is not how much money Evanian has gotten and how much prestige he has gained in the territory. It's whether the arms are thick or not, whether the body is strong or not, whether they can beat the bastard's baby daughter in the north.

However, Evan Ian was destined to disappoint him, and before Ferdinand could confirm that Evan had inherited his martial arts talent, Evan Ian suffered from that strange curse that disrupted Ferdinand's knighthood training plan, but Evan Ian was a blessing in disguise, and he avoided a Silver Rose-style devastating education - he turned over the thing, and then he felt that in comparison, the cramming education of the Celestial Empire was simply not too gentle.

But capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. Feldenand had nothing to do, and always found an excuse to send the Black Knight to beat up Evangel, with the good name: "Cultivate a sense of battle." ”

Later, he realized that for Evan Ian, the Black Knight was too strong, and Ferdinand also changed his tricks, Iofita, a trained maid swordsman, sometimes heads-up, sometimes besieged, in short, no less.

Every time Evanian was beaten up, lying on the ground in a daze, his heart was always full of stomachs-

Stick! Obviously they are all the sons of the duke, and they are beaten all day long! What kind of world is this!

But Evan Ian also knows very well that Feldenand is doing this for his good, as the Duke of Silver Rose, no matter how strong his military and political ability is, he can't protect himself in front of endless assassins, after all, Black Rose's protection will be negligent, and then all he can rely on is his own combat ability - it is said that his grandfather, that is, Ferdinand's father, was seriously injured in front of the raiding dragon army because of the calculation of the Blood Dragon King, and died not long after the withdrawal of the army.

The two unforgettable separations of his father, along with his wife, made Feldenand, one of the most powerful pinnacles of the Empire, very concerned about the personal strength of Evangel, who was not a pure child, and he could sense his love for him from Ferdinand's actions.

Therefore, in the past nine years, Evan Ian has gradually changed his habits, for example, this attack, if he had followed his previous habits, he would never have personally led the team to attack the Inquisition, but it was precisely because of this initiative to put himself in danger that he, the well-protected duke's heir, had the opportunity to face the battle again and again, and little by little improved his most lacking combat experience.

The magic roared between Evangel's hands, but the elemental flames formed by the excess light of the mana were so docile that they changed into the elemental structure he needed under his command.

"Dancing Chain. "An upgraded version of the magic rope technique, the four coils of steel wire that rolled out of the cuffs silently rolled towards Miles under the control of the magic, while Evanian hid the other hand behind him, but condensed the air into liquid. The use of water elemental spells requires absolute sanity, and Evanian's face was indifferent at this time, and he had already entered the best meditative state.

Spiral Spear -

"Ice Flying Blade!" The roaring water turned into dozens of ice spears at the moment of rushing towards Miles, and with the help of the torrent, it shot towards Miles, and the parabolic ice spears fell from the sky, banging for a while, and the ice slag splashed in all directions, deeply inserting into the ground.

And such a blow obviously could not hurt Miles, the great knight at the peak of the first order of truth, his body flashed, except for the flying ice fragments, not a single ice spear hit him at all.

But that's just the beginning!

With a wave of his hand, the elemental fire of the ice elemental leaped in his palm, and the azure magic superpower of the fire shone on his rolled sleeves.

"Elemental thaumaturgy - Ice Death Claw Prison!"

The ice spear planted in the ground melted instantly, but before it could fall to the ground, a horizontal ice cube suddenly appeared from the water column, clicking, turning the Ice Spear Forest into a vast ice thorn!

"Damn!" he didn't expect the spell to change so quickly, and in his haste, Miles only had time to split a few ice picks that stabbed straight at him, but he was locked in the ice cage.

However, such a fragile spell cage is a hindrance to him, and he will soon be able to ......

However, just as Miles was judging like this, a bad premonition suddenly appeared in his heart. He jerked his head up, and saw—

Evanian raised his hands, and at his fingertips, there were four thin silver rays shining in the moonlight, and Miles looked at him and opened his mouth:

"Enemy Breaker!"

Airplanes!

The next moment, there was a humming sound of the air flow being cut, and the steel wire sharpened by the alchemy element was like the sharpest blade, dancing wildly, and in the blink of an eye, it had already repeatedly cut dozens of times on the Ice Thorn!

"Bang!" The seemingly sturdy ice prison instantly exploded into pieces and collapsed like a landslide!

In a block of blue ice, there was a trail of blood, but Evan Ian's expression was solemn, but he didn't dare to relax in the slightest, he raised his head and looked at the sky.

Under the moonlight, the black robe on his body had been completely crumbled, the armor was scratched everywhere, and a bloody stain exploded on the left armband, but Miles had already jumped into the air, his eyes were full of irrepressible anger!

"I'm going to kill you!"

Evan Ian sneered: "The person who said this last time is now dead!"

He waved his hand without hesitation—

"Ten times! Extension! Icicle!"

Miles' face changed as soon as he suddenly realized that he had jumped too high!

With nowhere to go, he could only watch, stabbing at his own ice jungle, rising rapidly from under his feet, but he was powerless to dodge!

Finished......

Miles felt a chill in his heart, looking at the tip of the ice pick in his pupils that was getting bigger and bigger, and a trace of despair crossed his pupils.

"Heavenly Light!"

The next moment, a torrent of light, dozens of times thicker than the Holy Sword Technique, swept through the sky.
