Chapter 4: Artifacts

"This ...... It's ......"

The smile on Yan Ning's face disappeared, revealing a stunned expression, and the red light slowly condensed and formed, like the flame feathers of a phoenix, like the bright red blood of the first deceased, and the red light formed a set of armor on the petite female body, covering the body properly and closely.

After the armor was formed, the flame red light on the metal surface was instantly enhanced a hundred times, and the light and flames emitted by the can, like a blood-winged phoenix flying with wings, shot out with powerful heat to shoot around, but compared to it, the palm power of the condensation weakened rapidly, and the powerful Wuyue Divine Thunder was absorbed by the blood light on the armor in an instant, and there was no trace left.

Not only was Yan Ning surprised, but the 100,000 heroes in the audience were in an uproar, shouting four words in unison, especially the nearby Guiyi people, who shouted as if they had seen a miracle.

"Fraternity Sacred Armor!"

"It's one of the three artifacts, the Sacred Armor of Fraternity!"

"The holder of the three artifacts has appeared! The true son of our clan has appeared! God bless the ghosts!"

The audience was in an uproar, even Gong Jin felt the same shock, one of the three artifacts, the Fraternity Sacred Armor, is an almost difficult to break defensive holy weapon;

And there is more than one miracle that shocked the audience.

When Yan Ning had no power in his palm, and because all the palm strength was absorbed, he had to withdraw his palm to regain his breath and fly back, a black and heavy object, like a meteor and a meteorite outside the sky, flew towards him, and the momentum was fast and accurate, just intercepting his retreat, and the heroes in the audience also lived up to expectations and shouted another term.

"Equal Hammer!"

"Two major artifacts have appeared!"

"For the first time ever, two artifacts are held by the same person......"

Just like the shouts of the people, this matter is extremely significant, but at present, the most relevant thing is the condensation who is about to withstand the blow of the chain flying hammer. Similar to the creation concept of the Sacred Armor of Fraternity, the meaning of the Equal Divine Hammer is to equally punish the enemy, increase the power of the initiator by several times to dozens of times, and send out a thunderous blow like heaven's damnation.

Yan Ning has no way out, if she still wants to dodge with light skills, she will be smashed by this chain hammer, so he can only make the only choice, which is to raise his palm and fight hard.

"Bang!"

The loud thunder-like noise caused a shock wave to attack the surroundings, and all the torches planted around the ring were extinguished; many of the people in the nearest row of people near the ring were dizzy and turned over; and even Gong Jin had to secretly use internal strength to resist.

And in the midst of that muffled thunder, there was a small crisp pop, which was the sound of someone's fracture.

"Hey!"

Hit hard by a flying hammer, Yan Ning did not retreat, but instantly strengthened the true qi, like a feather arrow towards the enemy flying over, the momentum is amazing, it is clear that she wants to take advantage of the chain hammer failed to return to the gap of defense, the enemy was caught off guard, this time she was wary of the enemy's armor protection, as soon as she shot straight into the gap of the armor, such as a knife like a fork of the right hand, as long as it really hits, it can indeed dig out the enemy's eyeballs with one blow.

...... But her left hand was abnormally soft and drooping, and the hard fight just now had already broken her left wrist, and she could no longer use the Wuyue Divine Thunder.

The whole audience was amazed by his onslaught, but Xiao Qiao, who became the target of the attack, was not in a hurry, his wrist shook, and the long metal chain was wrapped around his wrist several times, pulling back the hammer that was attacked.

Gravity and speed multiplied, the Equal Divine Hammer smashed back the enemy's heart more ruthlessly and viciously than before, and when Yan Ning's fingers were inserted into her eyes, the Equal Divine Hammer would also hit the back of the heart, beating her entire spine and internal organs to pieces, and she was definitely killed on the spot.

Seeing that it is a lose-lose situation, Gong Jin believes that Yan Ning will not fight hard, because the Equal Divine Hammer behind her is still accelerating, according to the calculation, it is very likely that the finger has not been inserted into the enemy, and the vest has been broken by the Divine Hammer, it is not worth the risk, not to mention that if she chooses to retreat, she will get a better opportunity......

In the exclamation of the audience, Yan Ning's momentum turned abruptly, and with the smart movement method of "White Horse Passing Through the Gap", she suddenly pulled up vertically, avoiding the blow of the jade burning, and after she narrowly dodged it, the Equal Divine Hammer that was smashed back went straight towards the owner who held it.

"Be careful!"

The nearby Guiyi people all shouted the same sentence, and even Gong Jin, who was silent not far away, quietly clenched his fists, because what Yan Ning did was a tactic he would definitely use, and he was confident that this tactic would definitely not fail, but ...... If this girl can create miracles again, then she ......

"Hahaha, the strongest hammer, the strongest armor, contradictions, which one will ......"

Rou Ning's laughter stopped halfway through, like the chain hammer that had been stopped. At the moment when the chain hammer was about to hit hard, the long metal chain that was originally wrapped around Xiao Qiao's wrist flew apart, flying left and right like a spinning shuttle, and quickly staggered into a simple metal net, just in time to intercept the smashing flying hammer.

In order to soften the rigidity, Xiao Qiao's hands danced with lightning, as if a girl was playing a rope game, adjusting the metal mesh into a soft force, and the powerful Equal Divine Hammer, after violently rubbing against the metal mesh and bursting out a series of sparks, was properly stopped, followed by her hands to pull a piece, and did not carefully see how it changed, the whole long chain turned into a thick iron rod, connected to the end of the hammer.

Xiao Qiao knocked the hammer to the ground, and with the help of elastic force, he carried the heavy Equality Divine Hammer on his shoulder, danced a few laps, smashed left and right, and finally carried the Divine Hammer, looking up at the Yan Ning who landed on the pillar in the corner of the ring.

"Agreed, Mr. Tao. ”

Just now, if she hadn't stopped the Equal Divine Hammer that had been smashed back immediately, Yan Ning would definitely chase after the Divine Hammer, snatch a blow, and unite the two heavy forces to break through the protection of the Fraternity Holy Armor, but Xiao Qiao's round of rapid response has fully confirmed her ability, and if she continues to fight, the victory or defeat of the two sides is still undecided, but Yan Ning has already broken a left hand.

As for the momentum of both sides...... From the applause that filled the mountains and fields, even idiots could easily feel it.

"Hmm......"

Yan Ning didn't say a word, looked at her hanging left hand, and then looked at the girl in front of her who was wearing armor and carrying a hammer, and there was no gap to take advantage of, and suddenly raised her head and laughed.

"Hahaha, it's really interesting, I'm going to admit defeat to someone! I'll follow Miss to make a revolution in the future!"

Yan Ning floated down with a smile, even if she had already admitted defeat, still no one dared to underestimate her, because everyone could see that if the two sides continued to fight to the death, it would be difficult to say the odds of victory or defeat, but Gong Jin secretly called it a pity, knowing that if she continued to fight, Yan Ning would at least account for eighty percent of the victory.

It was true that Yan Ning's arm had been broken, and it was not wrong that the power of the Divine Armor of Fraternity and the Divine Hammer of Equality was extraordinary. But these two treasures that are regarded as one of the three artifacts of the Guiyi clan have a strict price to use, that is, they can't help absorbing the essence of the user, and the stronger the power of each blow, the heavier the burden on the user.

(On the surface, it seems to be nothing, but ...... It shouldn't be easy, right?)

She has not hurt the enemy, she has hurt herself, Xiao Qiao is just a cowardly girl, as long as the battle is prolonged, she will collapse without attacking, so if she does it with her at this time, dying on the spot is her only ending.

(But, what should I do now?, Yan Ning is also defeated, if I lose, the position of alliance leader will be given to this girl, well, she does have the strength to command an army of 100,000...... )

Yan Ning was defeated, so the next game in the ring match was the battle between Gong Jin and Xiao Qiao, and Xiao Qiao seemed to understand his shortcomings that he couldn't last, so he immediately carried a sledgehammer and invited the only remaining enemy to fight.

But...... This is no longer a question of war or not, Gong Jin just wants to find someone suitable to be a leader, to lead this group of people, to do their self-righteous great cause, and finally to be buried and eliminated together.

So Gongjin chose to give up.

"It's really amazing, seeing such a brilliant game, I, Zhou Yu, am convinced, please let me follow you with the Blood Shadow Brigade and do our big things!"

Glory, praise, countless expectations and cheers...... The glorious legend of the ghost people unfolds.

※※※

The results of the Pengfenpo Qunhao Conference spread throughout the continent within a few days, and Reyns and the Free City Alliance all felt that this time the barbarian rebels were menacing, especially under the intelligence being deliberately contaminated, how did Xiao Qiao hold the two major artifacts and how to defeat Tao Qian, The process of deterring the heroes has become the focus of the intelligence, and each force has noticed that the barbarian rebels have not only been united, but the leader of the integration is an extraordinary person, if it were not for Xiao Qiao's female identity, which has somewhat weakened the threat in people's hearts, the shock of this intelligence will be doubled again.

Even Reins Tyren and the Free Cities League were so affected, and it is not difficult to imagine what kind of situation Eltino would be in the first place. The military headquarters located in Zhongdu, after receiving the detailed report of the Pengfenpo Conference, was alerted to the dangerous significance of this incident, and in terms of the support of the people, the young leader who unified the barbarians almost had the momentum of a dynasty founder.

In the past ten years, the state of affairs of Eltino has been obvious to all, dissatisfaction and anger have long been brewing among the people, and sporadic rebellions have occurred every day.

An army fought for a long time, and later, it was not military power that had to rely on it, but economic power, and under the long-term political turmoil, Eltino's army gradually felt the pressure, and felt unbearable for the endless rebellions, and the reason why it was able to easily sweep away every rebellion was actually to rely on the disparity in weapons and numbers on both sides, if these scattered fires were linked together and burned like a wilderness, and there were excellent military talents to command......

This assumption made the high-ranking officers of the Eltino military department turn blue just by imagining it, and when this bad prospect came to chance, they immediately decided to gather troops and extinguish the fire that had just been ignited.

The correct decision, but the execution was a step late, or rather, compared to their normal speed, the enemy's thinking and reaction, like fire, like lightning, had already received reports of the enemy breaking through the border defenses and invading Eltinor's territory on the day they gave the order. The senior officials of the Eltino military department angrily ordered the southern legions near the border of Wulian to dispatch the combined army of this rabble, but in the following month, the bad news was repeated.

The combined army was like receiving the special favor of the goddess of victory, and after breaking through the border, it attacked the assembled Eltino troops out of nowhere, and the whole short war ended in half an hour, and when the other Eltino troops sensed that the situation was wrong and arrived, the enemy was already far away.

The dexterous tactics made the Eltino military department angry, and this team, which was very different from the rebels in the past, seemed to step on the most painful part of the Eltino army.

The deep resentment hidden in the Eltino Empire is like a slowly flowing sleeping volcano, which will erupt if it lacks only one fuse, so every time the regular army of Eltino deals with the rebellion, in addition to brutally executing the rebels and killing the corpses of the public, it also pays special attention to the speed and timeliness of the entire action.

If an insurgency is allowed to drag on for too long, it can become the only torch in the darkness, allowing other disgruntled rebels to rally and get out of control. No matter how powerful the regular army is, it is impossible to face a big backlash of the anger of the people of the entire empire at once, so for more than ten years, Eltino's tactics have been the same, which is to quickly eliminate rebellions everywhere and not let the sporadic fires have a chance to connect with each other.

However, this time the enemy seemed to see this, and each time the battle time was very short, and after quickly defeating the local army of Eltino, the whole group of men and horses disappeared, and did not occupy the place, so that the army of Eltino had no chance to pursue.

Guerrilla warfare of a hundred thousand troops!

This kind of thing is okay to talk about, but if it really wants to be realized, the generals and staff officers of the Eltino military department can't imagine it, so how did it be done?

That's right, the territory of Eltino is vast, the territory is vast, and there are many mountains and mountains in the south, and if the 100,000-strong troops have the mature technology to hide well, they can create the illusion of complete disappearance and hide for a while. But there is one of the biggest problems in order to do this.

Supply!

These 100,000 troops, either ghosts or bandits, to put it bluntly, are all outlaws who do not produce anything, and they simply consume food every day, and in order to support this group of people to fight for a long time, it is necessary to constantly plunder and attack cities with food to be able to feed these 100,000 people, and this is also one of the main reasons for the failure of the rebel forces in the past.

But this time it was different. After the rebels broke through the Eltino army, they hid without a trace, and as long as they noticed that the Eltino army was waiting for them, the rebels would never risk attacking; and then when the Eltino army dispersed, gradually searching and sweeping the place, they would come out coldly, attack from behind, and hide for ten days and half a month after they succeeded, and in the whole process, they only attacked the army, did not cling to the granary, and even when they attacked ordinary towns, they only symbolically plundered and did not cause any major damage.

The rebel army was in a declaration that they were not impatient, and that they had to wait for time and patience, but the question that puzzled the Eltino military department was: what was the source of this patience? Where did the rebels get their food? It could never be obtained by plunder, the military department had already calculated the losses after each war, and the few things that were plundered could not even support a single day of grain and grass for an army of 100,000.

The countless accumulated mysteries not only made the Eltino military want to break their heads, but even Gong Jin, who was in the rebel army, was surprised.

(Those mediocre people in the military department are really wine bags and rice barrels, although this rebel army is elusive, but it is not from another world, it is impossible not to eat or drink, and it is impossible to drop food out of thin air, so the answer is not obvious?)

Gong Jin knew very well what kind of confusion senior military officials were facing, but he also believed that as long as the surname was analyzed, the answer was actually in front of him.

100,000 people is not a small number, and if we want to be able to supply this army with food and grass for a long time, if there is no strong man behind it, there must be a state-level force behind it. The question is, which force is behind the aid, even Gong Jin can't figure it out.

After the competition was over that day, and Xiao Qiao became the master of the 100,000 allied forces, she used the shortest time to organize this straggler and quickly form a group.

"The organization doesn't have to be too strict, everyone is from all over the world, habits, languages, and thoughts are different, and if you have to act together in a short period of time, there will be problems soon, so the organization should maintain the surname of bullet, and the important surname of mutual support is greater than acting together. ”

When Xiao Qiao gathered the leaders of several major forces in the alliance and began to tell his thoughts on future actions, these big people who are accustomed to seeing swords and swords did not believe that this little-known girl could say anything, but Xiao Qiao was organized and reasoned, and asked the various forces for help directly to the center of the problem, hoping that all parties would cooperate.

The new leader of the alliance is not the leader of any faction, and his background of no gang and no faction should suffer, but Xiao Qiao seems to have insight into people's hearts, and in turn uses this to make himself the balance point of various forces in the alliance. It was just a conversation that night, and Little Joe made a preliminary unification of this rabble alliance.

Gong Jin was also one of the several major forces present, and although the number of the Blood Shadow Brigade was small, the accumulated combat results were not to be taken lightly. After sitting in that tent for a night, Gong Jin could only describe his feelings as "breathtaking", because to be able to convince these arrogant and unruly high-rollers that it was not just eloquence that could be done.

Intelligence is the only key to victory. When Xiao Qiao clearly pointed out the common interests of the entire alliance, and hoped that everyone would work hard for the same interests and goals, and endure the current unhappiness for the time being, Gong Jin, who was watching, had already doubted it, and then Xiao Qiao pointed to the map and dispatched tasks to perform different tasks by different branches of the alliance, Gong Jin was even more sure that she had done her "homework" before participating in the competition.

(This girl is not simple, just looking at her appearance will definitely deceive her.) She is not a genius, but this cautious attitude will make her the most troublesome enemy. )

If it was an ordinary person, it must have been after winning the position of the alliance leader, and the first two days of feasting, which not only improved morale, but also enjoyed the power and style of the alliance leader, but Xiao Qiao quickly organized the entire group on the night he was elected as the alliance leader, and after letting everyone rest for a while, he immediately personally led the army across the border and caught the Eltino army by surprise.

To do this kind of thing, Gong Jin is sure that Xiao Qiao has already had a comprehensive plan for her actions after being elected as the leader of the alliance, so she is so determined to win the position of the leader of the alliance. After seizing the throne, he communicated with the major forces in the alliance, knew the situation and needs of each faction leader well, and pointed directly to the needs of each faction to complete the unification, and then he could immediately launch an attack to get ahead of the Eltino army.

It is absolutely impossible to do these things without adequate intelligence. Intelligence requires a huge human organization, and the Medici family has such conditions, especially when Xiao Qiao proposed in the meeting that she will provide the food and grass needed in the early stage of the coalition army alone, and it is enough to supply 100,000 coalition troops for nine months, Gong Jin is more sure that Kublai Khan's statement that "this matter will have nothing to do with the Medici family at all" is just a gesture, in fact, he has been supporting this coalition army behind his back.

(So...... Behind the scenes, is it the Medici family who is in charge of this?)

Gong Jin guessed so, but he soon found out that something was wrong, because he had set up a heavy investigation network, closely paid attention to all the actions of the Medici family, and even purchased information from the Qinglou Alliance, but the news he got was the same, there was no evidence to show that the Medici family supported this matter, and the grain and grass were not sent from the Medici family.

(Isn't it the Medicies? who could that be? Who else could support this rebellion behind the scenes? Is it the Qinglou Alliance? No, they couldn't have been directly involved in the mainland unrest.) )

Since the White Deer Cave has plans to control this rebellion, Gong Jin is of course prepared, the distribution of military strength in various parts of Eltino, sufficient food and grass, and a large number of weapons that do not reveal flaws in their origins have been prepared...... However, these things don't seem to be needed now.

Behind Xiao Qiao, which force is supporting?

In order to find out this, Xiao Qiao's investigation report was quickly sent to Gong Jin.

Her mother is a human woman, and her father is unknown, but judging by blood, her father should be a ghost. Many years ago, Xiao Qiao's mother died of illness in Wulian, and she was taken in by the Medici family, and the reason for her adoption is not clear, but since then, Xiao Qiao has been living in the Medici family as a "distinguished guest of Kublai Khan".

There is no outstanding performance in this point, it is somewhat similar to Yan Ning who entered the White Deer Cave, the record does not say how good Xiao Qiao's martial arts are, and it is not written how she obtained two artifacts, the only thing mentioned is that she is very popular in the Medici family, and the whole big family likes to be close to her, regardless of the age.

(What a useless piece of information...... )

Although it is the task of the leader to find the available information from the useless information, there is too little to read in this report, and Gong Jin can only come to the conclusion that "the Medici family is really hidden".

(The result is still to be observed slowly, everything starts from scratch...... )

After the end of the conference, it was a month of rapid guerrilla warfare, and before the battle, Little Joe told the whole army her strategic ideas.

"With a force of 100,000 people, it is impossible to overthrow the great empire of Eltino in one go, and it is our basic strategy to fight steadily. Over the course of a month, we've made a name for ourselves by raiding all over the place, hiding for the winter before the first snow starts to fall in the south, and then we'll be back in the spring, when more people will join us. ”

In this strategy, the woman's patience and foresight are not in a hurry to win, but when it comes to actual implementation, technical problems immediately stand in the way.

"Twenty percent of the brethren who have come to join us are horse thieves, and with 20,000 cavalry as mobile troops, the strength is slightly insufficient, but at the moment we can ask the orc brethren in the alliance to cooperate, and I know that many of them can run faster than most of the mounts within a certain distance. ”

The problem of horses and cavalry was thus settled, and the alliance had 40,000 cavalry overnight, and attacked the Eltino army with this mobile force as the main force. When they saw the crowds of beasts all over the mountains, or running fast, or riding wild six-legged leopards, and rushing down with the heavy cavalry of humans, the Eltino army, which had never seen such an exaggerated battle, was slaughtered in shock, and was completely unable to resist.

"The orcs, the robbers, the barbarians, they're like a flood...... No, it rushed over like a mudslide, as if it was tearing paper, and it swept our team into a mess. ”

An officer who survived the catastrophe wrote this in his report to the military headquarters, and Gong Jin, who actually participated in every battle, deeply sympathized with these descriptions.

Another reason for these brilliant achievements is that this Allied army has an extremely fierce vanguard general!

Even though the wound of the broken arm had not yet healed, Yan Ning actively threw himself into the revolutionary cause as he promised, and led the army to the forefront in every battle. With her incomparable martial arts and fierce fighting spirit like a mad tiger, she became the arrow of the entire charging team, no matter whether the enemy was an ironclad army or a shield array, all of them were broken through by her without distinction and made a gap.

In every battle, Yan Ning was the first to rush into the enemy formation, and after dyeing his whole body with a layer of bitter bright red, he was the last to rush out. The rebel soldiers who fought alongside her were in awe of her, calling her "General Crimson", but some orcs directly called her "Big Wolf", because she was murderous and ruthless when she charged, much like a bloodthirsty demon wolf who chose to devour people, which was especially clear in the eyes of soldiers who had never seen her dressed as a woman.

(Master is really not mistaken, there is a madness and resentment in Yan Ning's heart, which will make her become a demon wolf during the battle.) )

Gong Jin sighed at this, on the one hand, he was surprised by his friend's toughness, but on the other hand, he was also a little worried about Yan Ning's loss of control in the battle.
