Volume II: The Messenger of the Two Tribes, Chapter 57: Transformation
Bolt prides himself on being a professional warrior, because he was already an adventurer with a gold medal before he became Brown's captain of the guard, which is not only a testament to his strength to reach the level of martial artist, but also a recognition of his rich combat experience.
But such a battle, for Bolt, has never been seen in those long decades of life!
The young man, who was only the size of his own son, stood in the center of the guards with an unchanged expression, even though there was a constant attack on him with fighting energy and magic, but the latter just raised his hand seemingly casually, and blocked all the attacks.
Even if two magic tricks occasionally attacked Yi Fan's body, after a slight wave of magic power, it completely disappeared in an instant!
Bolt, who was holding the sword, was the strongest of the guards, but at this time he could only stand silently at the back of the crowd, because he could only feel the powerlessness that seemed to come from the depths of his soul.
Such an opponent is invincible - just rely on their own people's words.
......
Yi Fan silently faced the opponents who rushed forward and pounced one after another, just like he did with those magicians in the distance, easily blocking the attacks they had already tried their best, and then casually sending them back with an ordinary attack.
He has been trying to restrain the severity of his attacks, and the power beyond the Magister allows him to destroy the entire market with a single spell, but every magic he uses only temporarily makes the warriors who are forced forward by power temporarily lose the power to fight.
Even now, he still doesn't want things to develop in an irreversible direction, so the battle has been going on so far, although there are more and more people on the field who have lost their ability to fight, but no one has ever been in danger of their lives - maybe Bolt will think that Yi Fan is teasing them, and it will be because of this reason.
The mage on the opposite side does have good strength, because they have always gotten along with each other, so the magic is also very good, but after all, he fought with a more professional assassin not long ago, so the combat power of these people in front of him is indeed not enough to make Yi Fan cheer up a little.
It's like a tiger fighting a puppy, and if you have the idea of killing your opponent, the battle can be over in an instant. Blocking a few thunderbolts flying in the air, Yi Fan couldn't help but think so in his heart, and then a black light followed closely after knocking down the mage who had just released the thunder and lightning.
The guard who rushed to the front of him was still a little immature on his face, as if he was stunned by Yi Fan's attack, and the raised long sword was just about to slash towards Yi Fan, but it actually stopped in the air again.
"Hey, do you want to continue?" Yi Fan said softly looking up at the guard.
The tone is not so much a question as an answer is given at the same time as the question is asked—yes, what is the reason to continue?
The immature-faced guard finally couldn't help but retreat behind him, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a clanging sound, but as if he had lost the last trace of gleam in his eyes, he still continued to retreat unconsciously.
More and more guards joined the retreat, and the actions of the immature guards magnified their fear and powerlessness in their hearts.
They threw away their weapons and quickly retreated behind them, occasionally with three or two familiar guards, and as they retreated, they did not forget to pick up their wounded companions.
The magicians also began to retreat, compared to the noble status and value of the magicians, it was obvious that they were not willing to risk their future in such a place, and in such a situation, they might choose a new city lord to serve.
......
The expression on Brown's face could no longer be described as shock, because such an expression had appeared on his face countless times before a long time.
It's not that the guards and magicians have given up fighting, but in a situation like this, it makes no sense for them to continue fighting, and they can't see a trace of victory, and even a battle with a 1 in 10 million win rate doesn't exist.
He finally confirmed that the young man in front of him may have already surpassed all the common sense in his mind.
"How could it be ......" For a moment, Brown, who had lost the ability to think, collapsed and knelt on the ground.
The facts that happened in front of him completely destroyed everything he was once proud of, and the Kuluo City, which he had spent countless hours and painstaking efforts to build, was mixed with a completely different tone from this moment on.
Perhaps he already knew that the majesty of being the city lord would inevitably be destroyed at this moment before the battle began—the expressions of the merchants around him had begun to change, and they must have begun to doubt their control, right?
Thinking so, Brown slammed his fist to the ground.
He is also a swordsman with the strength of a high-level martial artist, but he can't give birth to the slightest idea of fighting in order to maintain his majesty - in the face of an existence like Yi Fan that can only be modified by metamorphosis, his own strength is not bad, and this moment has long been meaningless.
He won't blame his son, in that case, he will only be reduced from a short-term loser to a loser, and the failure lies in strength rather than method, so this time, in the final analysis, no one can be the object of his own blame.
"Yi Fan, go back. Caroline stepped forward, as if remembering something, and her tone was a little anxious.
Hearing this sudden sound, Brown couldn't help but raise his head, and then he saw Caroline, and then his expression suddenly became strange.
As if remembering something, Brown rose from the ground again, and looked in Caroline's direction with a puzzled look, so bold that he had to seriously confirm it again.
Brown closed his eyes, and he suddenly felt that it seemed completely acceptable that he would encounter such a situation, if that girl was really Princess Caroline who went to negotiate with the elves!
If his opponent is a princess, then there is nothing to be unwilling to lose like this! Compared with those nobles in high positions, Brown, who is just a small city lord, seems to know more clearly the horror of this princess hidden under her calm face.
Since the princess Caroline didn't reveal her identity, then there must be a reason for her, so now she just had to pretend not to know? With a political intuition that goes far beyond her own status, Brown is not just a brutal city lord.
"Bolt, retreat!" Before Yi Fan answered Caroline's proposal, Brown was the first to speak, and without the slightest hesitation, he walked to Anthony's side after speaking, "Take the young master back, be careful." ”
Brown's calm demeanor makes one wonder if the battle that took place before him was a hallucination, because now it looks as if he has become a victim of a son's wounds.
Looking at Brown's performance, Yi Fan, who had been bored from the beginning, couldn't help but show a hint of interest on his face - this man named Brown not only didn't look like those fat pig city lords, but even his IQ was much higher than he imagined.
"Well, well, go back. Yi Fan, who came back to his senses, turned to Caroline and replied.
The expected halfway end of the play, but for Yi Fan did not have much feeling, perhaps in his opinion, the reason why he wanted to see on the streets of human beings was just to meet the most basic requirement of seeing at the beginning.
As for what the specific content of the insight is, it is completely out of the scope of consideration for him.
Just like when they came, the group of three people who had bought nothing walked back the way they came again.
"Yi Fan, that Brown City Lord, I just remembered that he should have seen me a few years ago. Halfway through, Caroline couldn't hold back and said what she was thinking.
"What?!" Yi Fan couldn't help but let out a surprised voice, that Brown would show such a look, could it be that Caroline's identity had been discovered?
Although the rule of the Vincent Empire is a dictatorship like most empires, it can be seen from the Duke of Dubai that such a dictatorship does not fully control the local nobility, so the lord of a place like the city of Kulo is not actually appointed by the emperor himself to a large extent.
In this case, it is very common for even the city lord to never see the emperor in his life, let alone a princess like Caroline, so when she first entered the city, Caroline did not think about disguise her identity or anything.
However, that guy may know himself! Almost the moment she saw Brown's appearance, Caroline had already confirmed that she had met this person, so she would take the lead in asking Yi Fan to leave under such circumstances.
"Anyway, go back to where we live first, we must be ready to retreat at any time!" Yi Fan took Caroline's hand and began to speed up towards the place where he lived.
The reason why Brown left suddenly at that time is really concerning, no, maybe it would be more accurate to say that what makes people care about is the camp he chose within this empire!
If he had been a member of the king's faction, then discovering the identity of the princess would only make him feel intimidated and frightened, and the rest of his party's journey might have become a little calmer, but if he was a subordinate of the Duke of Dubai, then his temporary departure now meant that he would be coming soon, no weaker than the stormy enemy of the previous attack......
