Chapter 187: Chaos and Victory (4)
The Treasure Vault was built like a labyrinth, presumably to prevent the Assassins from infiltrating it from finding their destination so easily. Although Ewell himself did not have the qualifications to enter and leave here at will, this did not prevent him from knowing the structure inside.
Because he was also one of the chasers of the kingdom's troops, the construction diagram of the Noble Phantasm was a compulsory course for almost every troop captain. Only then was he able to find the right props in the complex and chaotic labyrinth of the Treasure Vault, whether it was when he turned to leave the four people, or when he saw the faint light of the exit ahead, Ewell's mood never relaxed.
Not only himself, but also his former subordinates who are also in the same class as themselves also know it.
As several dark shadows passed by in the corner of his side, Ewell's heart tightened, and he stopped and waved his companions to stop them from moving on.
Sure enough, it came. No one knew them better than himself, for they had been his subordinates in the first place, and he had worked together for several years, and he had a good grasp of the personalities and habits of each of them.
So even if they are in front of themselves now, it is not so incomprehensible.
"I know, I know. The light purple magic light lit up on his body, and Han Tuo and Anya, who were beside him, also put on a defensive posture, "I know that everyone has the right to fight for their ideals, so it is understandable that you are standing in the way here now." Come, show me your perseverance!"
Han Tuo looked up sharply, and his body moved with him, standing up in a triangular defensive posture with Anya, handing over his back to his partner with peace of mind, and taking care of his own front, such a classic defensive posture.
Because the moment they looked up, they saw the men in black crawling densely on the wall like spiders. There are dozens of people in total, and just looking at it makes people's scalps tingle, giving great visual pressure.
The scene of dense phobia that reflexively arises in the innate state.
"As a ...... To rule out ...... "ghostly voices come from unknown sources." Ewell was still able to maintain a normal attitude, Anya and Hantuo had not really fought against the members of the [Shadow] force, so there was no way to know, and when they really faced it at this time, that courage could be truly felt.
If you can't catch the figure, you can't see through the pace, the combat power of a single person may not be high, and if you gather together, it will be as dazzling as a maze. The dangerous beast of darkness shook its fangs in the darkness, not knowing when it would pounce. And for this reason they also put on a defensive posture.
But he saw that the other party did not attack.
"As far as it is our responsibility...... We've done it. The voice rang out again, but now it was much clearer, and it didn't have the same sense of urgency as Fang Cai had to send on the string, "But if people only have responsibilities to speak of, it is too boring." ”
"The next step is our own decision...... Let's go. ”
As you can imagine how difficult it is to say this, as the [Shadow] of the Kingdom's elite troops, not only did its commander be imprisoned as a criminal, but if he still let the enemy go on his own initiative, the reputation he had accumulated all this time would be ruined after that. Their situation will also be quite difficult for this in the future.
In this royal palace, where the various troops are secretly competing with each other, this is a rather fatal wound.
Even so, they made such a decision.
This made Ewell whisper to Anya beside him in a show-off tone: "I'll just say it, my interpersonal relationships are not all that bad, and in a small range, my popularity is still good." ”
Ewell's excellent members of the Shadow as a commander are all obvious to all. The ability of each member is used to the greatest extent, but the life of the member is not despised because of this, on the contrary, the life of the member is the first priority rather than the task. Such a commander has almost freely exerted all his abilities as a human being, and Ewell is a commander who is convinced by all the members.
It's a decision made of your own volition.
This made Han Tuo laugh uncontrollably. Except for the soldiers who broke in as guards at the beginning and fought against themselves, Han Tuo has not really made enemies with the people in this royal capital.
This is not what I think, but what I want. After all, Hantuo himself doesn't really want to be enemies of the kind and innocent people here, there may be a tragic battlefield, but he never wants to form here.
The black shadows that had gathered one by one slowly dispersed, retreating into the shadows as usual, as if nothing had happened.
All three breathed a sigh of relief and looked at each other. Han Tuo and Anya tightened their equipment again, clenching the sword in their hands, while Ewell rekindled the light purple magic on his body. The original weapon, the black dagger, has been left in the palace forever, and along with the ring, it can be regarded as the place where it should have been. This represents a past event, although he himself is quite reluctant, but things should have their own place, and he has to say goodbye to it.
Although [Shadow] let them go, it does not mean that all the sergeants have the same opinion. In the eyes of most of the soldiers who had never even seen them, Han Tuo and them were still "villains" who trespassed into the palace and entered important areas in violation of regulations.
Everyone took a deep breath and strode out the door.
Although it was still night, even though there were grains of starlight shining in the night sky, the moon was obscured by thick dark clouds, and the whole world was still pitch black with very little visibility. But the moment they walked out, the lights outside were as bright as day.
They are all magic guides in the hands of the soldiers who surround the treasure house, and the lamps used for lighting illuminate this area brightly, and at a glance there is a thick wall of people, and at the end of the field of vision, the crowd spreads and the darkness merges together, making people feel like they are located on an isolated island only a few square meters in size, surrounded by stormy waves crashing against the reef on the shore, as if the whole world is against them.
Unless it is a strong person or a high-ranking ruler who has been bathed in this kind of gaze for a long time, for those who are not always in front of a large number of people, such a gaze group is no longer praise, nor will it be honored, but will simply feel the pressure projected from the top.
There is no escape. Seeing that it was impossible for them to let them go like before, the murderous aura in their eyes couldn't be more real. Ewell couldn't help but feel flustered, is this time to fight a way?
"Don't worry...... Be prepared. Han Tuo, who said this, showed a confident and warm smile, "We still have that miracle girl here, and there is no better help than this!"
The reason why she is called "Miracle Girl" is because it was one of her arrows that took away the heart of the terrifying demon king in the true sense, and did not let all her previous hard work and sweat go to waste, so she achieved a decisive victory.
In any case, it is your last hole card.
"Go, Lifa. Shoot the dawn of victory here!" Han Tuo whispered silently in a voice that no one could hear.
"Do as you command, my lord. Lifa, who had already climbed to the top of the high church, said. The night breeze curled her golden hair into the air, and the clothes on her body had a little dust from running all the way to avoid enemy attacks, and the whole person didn't look too energetic, but it had a haggard beauty.
Even if you have your own things, you have what you can do.
No matter what the appearance is, whether it is glamorous or haggard and sloppy, if the real core remains the same, no matter what, you can live as beautiful as a painting. What really matters is the heart, when she looks up in the night wind, her turquoise pupils shine in the night sky like jewels, which is a reflection of her determination to be as dazzling as a jewel.
Just like when she shot the demon king in the chest from a long distance during that war, she also had such a pair of eagle-eyed sharp eyes, and she could see the scene dozens of meters away from a distance.
It's just that this time is different from last time, and he has gained more power.
【Birch Moon】Completely liberated!
That's why it is said that the treasure is a magical device that connects a person's soul, especially the diamond level that has special abilities and can liberate the state. When Lifa first learned about her form of complete liberation, she had the feeling that "this is indeed a skill that is tailor-made for her."
Because although Lifa, an elf girl, is quiet and elegant on the surface, her inner passion is as fierce as fire.
So the golden dragon on top of the black bow almost came to life and swam around the surface of the big bow, and then it was actually out of the range of the big bow in a grand way, like a dragon that suddenly flowed from a narrow stream into the vast sea, and these golden dragons also happily swam back and forth around Lifa, as if they really got the comfort of being freed from bondage.
Several golden dragons crawled from Lifa's feet, and with their legs and feet as the axis, they slammed into the top of the church's pointed tower, and the others wrapped around Lifa's arms, twisting and folding to form the rudimentary form of some kind of object.
The light yellow magic was like bricks covering the roof that had just been built, and in a short period of time, the shape and details of the entire weapon had been outlined. It will inevitably be a little slow to use for the first time, and it will be much easier after that, but no matter how fast it is activated, the power will not change after all.
It was a huge turret fixed to the tip of the tower. The black, mirror-smooth and beautiful steel, the golden streaks that still wrapped around it, were now the key material that fixed the fulcrum of Lifa's foothold, and also used as a special material to extend the weapon that Lifa was holding.
Lifa's entire body was absorbed into the weapon, and the sea of steel enveloped her entire body, revealing only the small bits of skin on her forehead and shoulders. The eye is covered by a piece of machine, in which the front sight is clearly delineated.
You won't miss this time. Lifa thought.
This is simply the appearance of a fort, and it is the posture of complete liberation of her treasures. In line with her own most sophisticated technology, she brings a base that automatically balances no matter how she moves, and a cannon barrel that is extremely destructive when fired. That's why it's a skill tailored for her.
In this way, the "sniper cannon" created by magic, which was used as a killer weapon in the past, can already fade out of its own stage.
However, this operation is not aimed at killing, but simply to rescue his companions from that place of right and wrong, and that's it.
In general, such turrets are used for large-scale throwing weapons. But in such a state of affairs, Lifa also has her own way.
In a flash of thought, the mass of material condensed by his own magic power was injected into the cannon barrel, just like the master who baked the cake put it in the oven as it was and pressed a few buttons on the top of the box to adjust the time and temperature.
The shape of the turret [Birch Moon] is itself a very large shaped magician.
"Go ahead. Lifa spat out the words softly.
The next moment, a huge light yellow magic bullet bombarded out. After a long distance, he hit Han Tuo's feet accurately. In an instant, colored smoke spread, instantly obscuring the view of this large area.
Then several of the same magic bullets were fired in succession, but fortunately it was only the effect of smoke, and the amount of such a few rounds had already enveloped all the sergeants in it, and if it was replaced by pure bombs, the damage caused by it was almost unimaginable. At least thirty percent of the soldiers will not be spared.
This is the ability of [Birch Moon] after it is completely liberated, it can be masked, bombed, and tracked. The only thing that shackles the crisis is Lifa's own imagination.
That was enough, and Lifa quickly relieved herself of the liberation of her battery, and after a few turns she disappeared into the night, from where the soldiers had already discovered herself, and the place could not be left for long.
On Han Tuo's side, with the sudden smoke that came out to obscure his vision, he carefully and skillfully avoided the soldiers who had fallen into chaos, and quietly left through the gaps in the crowd.
The riots in the royal palace, and indeed in the entire royal capital, came to an end. This is probably an experience that the people of the royal capital will never forget, but fortunately, not many casualties have been completed.
However, throughout history, it is only a small spark that pushes the course of history. (To be continued.) )
