168. Overwhelming the crowd
Jasmine listened to Valentina's self-introduction in front of her, and after being slightly stunned, she quickly withdrew her hand, as if she had touched something dirty.
She subconsciously glanced back at the direction of the sky, which was the direction where Rafael left, and that look was like a child who was sent to kindergarten by his parents, and hurriedly turned back to his parents after being bullied by his classmates, as if to say,
"Look at Rafael! This ice chicken says she's Fisher's wife! β
But at this moment, after all, Rafael was not around, and she herself was here to support the other party, so she just withdrew her hand, looked at Valentina in front of her quite vigilantly, and muttered a few words like a small animal, not knowing what she was saying.
Aragina sighed, but this was not the time to settle accounts with each other, because the chaotic creations behind her were still approaching, so she raised her hand and called the cardinals around her, easing the atmosphere,
"No matter what, our goal has not changed, we have to continue to move in the direction of the Golden Palace to relieve Fisher's pressure."
These words are actually a subtle reminder that Valentina, who is holding the "Holy Sword", is still more restrained at the moment, of course Valentina also understands what she means, she just subconsciously turned on the detection radar and launched a counterattack, but at this moment there is a common enemy in front of them.
"Ahem."
So she coughed lightly, looked at the embarrassed Jasmine in front of her with a smile, and took the initiative to ease the atmosphere and said,
"Lord Priest, thank you very much for your help, then let's continue in the direction of the Golden Palace. With the Dragon Queen relieving the pressure on the sea, we have to work harder, especially when there are strong enemies in front of us."
"Hmm"
Jasmine pursed her lips and looked up at the various enemies on the street in front of her, she walked to Valentina's side, a golden light flashed, and her body was instantly attached to the armor and sword of the whale race,
"I'm familiar with this place, I know which road is closest, come with me."
"Okay."
Valentina stood beside her, beckoning everyone around her to follow, and continued to rush forward.
And behind her, Isabelle, who was wearing a cloak, didn't know when she stood beside Jasmine, at first because of the tightly covered cloak, Jasmine didn't recognize her identity, until an extremely familiar feeling came to her heart, she was slightly stunned and turned her head to look around,
"Isabel?"
Isabel looked at Jasmine, took off the fabric off her face, and smiled at her,
"Jasmine, long time no see."
"You've been all these years."
Jasmine opened her mouth wide, after all, five years have passed, and five years is not a small amount for humans. For Jasmine, it was like a blink of an eye, and the young girl who was about the same age as herself had matured.
Isabel smiled and stretched out her hand to pinch Jasmine's face as before, and then put on the cloak on her face and looked ahead,
"I've had a good life all these years, but I didn't expect that Jasmine you have become a sacrifice of the Dragon Court. Come on, let's move on. β
"Uh-huh."
Valentina was keenly aware of the whispered conversation between Isabel and Jasmine, and she blinked, probably knowing when Jasmine had met Fisher, and in that case, Aragina should have known this whale race as well.
She looked at the expressionless Alagina beside her, and for some reason, she suddenly felt a touch of sympathy in her heart.
"Whoa!"
But the carrion in front of her was already approaching, and Valentina no longer thought about these miscellaneous things, but just unfolded her blade like everyone around her, and with a cold moonlight flashing, the street in front of her was cut open again.
"These monsters can't be killed, let's move on!"
Valentina spread her wings and leaped forward, using her blade to guide her companions from a high position.
Jasmine pulled the golden blade out of the carrion's body, her ears moved slightly, and she instantly heard the sound of dense footsteps not far away, it was Nari's army.
"Nari's reinforcements have arrived!"
"Onward!"
Valentina gritted her teeth, her wings instantly wrapped around her, and as soon as the sonic boom sounded, the entire street in front of her suddenly shattered, and was cut apart by the huge impact, and the outline of the cathedral in front of her was faintly revealed in the smoke and dust from the collapse of the building.
"Open fire."
Many of the birds behind him were about to follow Valentina's example and take to the air to open their way, but on the other side, as a calm female voice sounded, countless magical beams of light passed through the body of the leaping bird species like iron sparks splashing into points of light.
Jasmine and Isabel's eyes shrank slightly, and then quickly turned their heads to look in that direction, Jasmine's wrists were trembling, but after hesitating for a moment, she still inserted the sword in her hand back into the scabbard, and used her life force to treat the injured sergeant beside her.
"Yes, it's my sister. My sister is here. β
Isabel looked at Jasmine, her voice trembling slightly, and Jasmine's breathing became rapid, and all kinds of emotions bloomed in her heart at this moment.
Fisher told her everything that had happened a few years ago, and of course she knew that the Wood Rhino's death was related to Elizabeth, and that the desperate situation she had fallen into at that time was nothing more than a conspiracy designed by the woman.
For Jasmine, Elizabeth was a nightmare.
It was the first shadow of the world that she had encountered since she first went ashore, and the fear she had brought with her was even greater than the desperate situation of being besieged by Barbatos and Agareth in the Southern Continent.
But of course, it's not just fear, that anger, that resentment, it's all intertwined at this moment that makes Jasmine so uneasy.
"Oops."
"Pain"
She healed the wounded people one by one, and her face became a little pale, but looking at Valentina, who was still opening the way in front of her, and the rotting corpses that were still crawling around, she calmed down again, and finally she was not as overwhelmed as she was five years ago.
"Isabel, you break through with everyone, and we'll take care of the rest."
"Hmm."
Isabel nodded, raised her dagger and sprinted forward nimbly, and on the other side, Elizabeth's death-like calm command sounded again,
"Put."
"Stop!!"
Valentina, who had opened the way ahead, also noticed the army on their flank, and saw the blonde woman standing in front of the knights of artillery and magic.
Her long hair was tied back in a cold knot that matched the indifferent expression on her face that seemed to freeze to death.
At the moment, there is no Pandora by her side, this may be an opportunity!
Valentina's figure froze slightly in mid-air, and suddenly turned in the direction of facing Elizabeth, the Moon Princess Sword in her hand continued to rotate, and at the same time, it rushed towards Elizabeth with a cold wind like a bird of prey.
"Protect Your Majesty!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
The guards around her were all huddled around to surround Elizabeth, but her hollow golden eyes trembled slightly and she realized that Valentina's rank was much higher than that of the soldiers around her, and even if they could successfully stop it, they would kill and injure a large number of people.
It only took a moment for her to make a decision, and the sword of Godlyn suddenly appeared in her hand, and just as the front guard was about to close her, she kicked down several guards in front of her, causing them to crawl on the ground at once, and the magic armor on her body made a "click" sound,
"Oops!"
"Your Majesty?!"
"Get out of the way!"
Elizabeth jumped up with her sword in her hand, and instead of retreating, she took the initiative to rush towards Valentina who was swooping in front of her, making Valentina slightly stunned.
Crazy, Elizabeth?
Even if her rank is much higher than that of ordinary humans, she already has about the tenth rank, but she is really not enough to see before her fourteenth rank.
Case
Valentina's side instantly erupted with countless moonlight, turning into sharp slashes towards Elizabeth.
"Whoosh"
Elizabeth stepped on the ground and rose expressionlessly, spinning to avoid slashing one blade after another, as graceful as the most beautiful ballet dancer in the world, but because she was stuck in mid-air, she completely fell into the range of Valentina's attack.
"Capture the thief and capture the king first!"
Valentina stretched out her hand to Elizabeth in the cold wind, trying to capture her, but in her eyes at the high rank, golden firelight suddenly bloomed from Elizabeth's body, and more specifically, it was the sword of Godlin in her hand.
She's glowing?
No. No, it's on the ground!
In the midst of the rapid change, Valentina's wings that had been flapping up and down suddenly erected as a means of physical speed reduction to move forward, and in the next second, a golden pillar of fire burst out from the ground below, and she could stop in front of the flames in the sky.
What is this flame and why is it so terrifying?
Fortunately, if she goes any further, she will turn into a roasted phoenix
But before she could catch her breath, the wall of fire was torn open, revealing Elizabeth's face glowing with flames, her golden eyes bright, and she raised her sword like a demon and slashed at Valentina's head.
Valentina hurriedly raised the Moon Princess Sword in her hand to resist, and the two swords collided, and with an extremely piercing sound of huge metal that seemed to be able to shatter the entire Saint Nari, Valentina's whole person was directly smashed to the ground by the impact.
"Boom!"
As soon as Valentina landed, she flapped her wings to maintain her center of gravity, her mouth trembled, and she raised the Moon Princess sword, only to see that a crack like a spider's web was already spreading above the curved blade.
Wouldn't it, even the strength of the Moon Princess Sword is not enough?
What the hell is that sword.
But as soon as she looked up, Elizabeth's expressionless human figure like a mountain had already raised her sword and slashed at her head again, and when she looked up, Elizabeth was still wrapped in that terrifying golden flame, which was nothing to her, but especially terrifying to Valentina.
It was both armor and weapon, and the scorching heat prevented Valentina from getting close to her, and her retreat was already engulfed by the golden flames
"Bell!"
Elizabeth slashed down with a sword, Valentina had no choice but to take the Moon Princess sword to block again, and there was another explosion, but Elizabeth didn't blink her eyes, and she slashed down with a fierce sword.
"Bell!"
The other human soldiers behind her all covered their ears, and Valentina stared at Elizabeth in front of her.
And Elizabeth was condescending, not even looking at her, just staring at the ring on her hand holding the Moon Princess's sword.
β.β
Elizabeth took a deep breath, and another sword fell, this blow directly caused the Moon Princess Sword to burst, and even the ground was blasted with a huge crack.
Valentina looked at the weapon with only half a hilt left in her hand, and was stunned for a moment by the momentum of Elizabeth's attack.
As the saying goes, one blow, then three times and then exhaustion, these three knives, Valentina actually felt that not only was her mouth numb, but even her legs seemed to be numb by the flames.
"Haha."
"Buzz"
Elizabeth also gasped slightly, she raised the sword in her hand expressionlessly, pointed at Valentina in front of her, and said coldly,
"Take the ring off."
β.β
At this moment, Valentina, who was slightly stunned, suddenly raised her head and looked at Elizabeth in front of her.
She had never been trained to fight, and that time in the snowy mountains was the first time she had killed someone. And after becoming a phoenix, although she has empty ranks and holy relics, her fighting skills are even more lacking, and Tao Gong has not taught her these.
After all, with her current rank, if she encounters a strong enemy, she can't run away, and if she encounters someone lower than her, she can also rely on the numerical value of the rank.
So when you saw Valentina's battle before, she either accelerated to hit people or used the Moon Princess Sword to slash the opposite side in the air, and she couldn't dodge it if she was low anyway.
But when it comes to Elizabeth, a battle-hardened soldier with Pandora's prosthetic eye and Godling's sword, her every move can be completely predicted.
Because he has no actual combat experience, he will become fearful when he sees the terrifying golden flame that he knows nothing about, and the head-on battle will completely fall into Elizabeth's control.
And don't forget, Elizabeth's prosthetic eye is capable of manipulating other people's desires.
Once the idea of cowardice appeared in Valentina's heart, it would be infinitely magnified by the prosthetic eye, until the thought of cowardice completely swallowed her heart, and the head-on collision of the three swords penetrated this feeling into her heart like a nail, and even made her afraid to the point that her feet were weak.
"Me"
"I said, take it off."
Elizabeth's sword blade moved forward majestically, and in Valentina's eyes, everything seemed to be nothing but a pair of empty golden eyes and Elizabeth's unquestionable voice.
Valentina's mouth opened, her fingers trembling uncontrollably, and under the manipulation of her prosthetic eye, she almost subconsciously raised her hand to pinch the ring that Fisher had put on her.
But the temperature of the surface of the ring and the scorching golden flame next to it instantly made her body tremble slightly, and at the same moment, just behind her, outside the golden flame, a loud call woke up Valentina like thunder,
"Be careful!! Miss Valentina! Elizabeth's sword was my mother's, and the flames were powerful! But Elizabeth herself is of a very low rank and cannot exert the full power of that sword, don't be afraid of her!! I'll come over now!! β
It's the whale species Jasmine!
Valentina suddenly came to her senses, but Elizabeth was not stupid enough to look in Jasmine's direction, she only looked at Valentina, who was still in front of her, and clenched the sword in her hand.
But Valentina suddenly raised her head, gritted her teeth and said,
"This is what my husband gave me, and he wants me to take it off, no way!"
"Good, good"
Elizabeth's head instantly erupted, and she raised her sword in anger as the surging golden flames poured out like a tide again, threatening to devour the defenseless Valentina.
But don't forget, Valentina also has a sword.
The sword of the King of the Wind Phoenix!
Taking advantage of this moment, Valentina took a deep breath and stood up suddenly, although there was nothing in her hand, she had already taken a step forward to draw her sword, her waist rotated slightly, and the wings behind her also suddenly opened.
And at the moment when she continued to accelerate and slash, the sword of the legendary Wind Phoenix King also quietly appeared in her hand, bursting out with a bone-chilling cold that was enough to compete with the golden flames around her.
Elizabeth's eyes moved slightly, and the slashing motion changed instantly, turning into two hands against the blade in her hand.
"Boom!!"
With a loud bang, Elizabeth flew out uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty!"
"Protect Your Majesty!"
"Click"
She gritted her teeth and plunged Godling's sword into the ground to slow down, but she couldn't withstand the massive impact and crashed into the army that had turned into a human wall behind her, before she stopped out of breath.
She raised her eyes and looked at Valentina, who was standing up with the phoenix sword, the ring on her fingertip shining brightly, looking particularly dazzling.
"Haha."
Valentina stood up and glanced gratefully at Jasmine, who was rushing towards her with her troops, if it weren't for Jasmine, she would have been planted in Elizabeth's hands just now.
This woman really
It's scary.
Valentina glanced at Elizabeth, who had regained her footing surrounded by the sergeants, with some trepidation, but raised her sword and pointed at her, and spoke,
"Stop, Elizabeth, for Fisher's sake."
"Huh"
Elizabeth sneered and looked at Jasmine in the distance, beside her. Ah, the captain of the Sardinia country, she didn't say a word, but took the spear of the soldier next to her in one hand, and threw it in her direction.
Valentina easily dodged sideways, but the magic on it suddenly exploded, causing her to cover her ears in embarrassment and dodge.
"You stinky little girl, you think you know love, do you think you are his wife when you stand in the identity of his wife and speak? It's just role-playing for your own amusement. Compared to his other women, you are just a naΓ―ve little hairy child, who have you ever played with? β
"Why, is it because you didn't say that?"
Valentina spread her wings, and at this moment, Jasmine and Aragina also arrived here, and the rest of the troops were still rushing in the direction of the Golden Palace, the center of Saint-Nari.
"Elizabeth!!"
Jasmine had tried her best to keep herself calm, but the first sentence of her mouth inevitably brought anger, and Arajina's side, many cardinals also followed at the same time, the lethality of those terrifying cardinals was already obvious to all in the previous Nari army, but the empress was in front, and the Nari soldiers behind her did not move, ready to fight at any time.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
And above the ocean, there is a mythical rank Rafael participating in the battle, even if the comparison seems to be too big a gap between the original fleet of the Dragon Court and the elite cardinal ironclad ship of Nari, it can still win.
That's the power of rank.
Even if the two fourteenth-rank Valentina and Jasmine stood in front of them, the thousands of troops behind them could hardly be said to be able to stop them for a moment, it was all because Elizabeth stood in front of them that they maintained their fighting spirit to the death.
Jasmine took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on Elizabeth's face, her words suppressed the trembling and kept her calm as much as possible,
"Elizabeth, the two of us are not something you and your army can deal with, there is a mythical rank of Rafael on the sea, and your fleet will not be able to support it for long, so stop immediately."
"What about you, why don't you speak, Arajina?"
Elizabeth didn't answer Jasmine's words, but just turned her head to look at the silent Aragina next to her, which made her slightly stunned, but Elizabeth opened her mouth again,
"Is it because you're on the same rank as ordinary people? Even if you have cardinals, you dare not speak in front of these two women whose rank and status are much higher than yours? β
"Me"
"That dragon race is a mythical rank, and with the power of a single person, it can penetrate my fleet, allowing me to prepare for the elite demise for several years. And what about human beings, even if they have the rank of magic themselves, they still can't move, isn't this the sadness of this world? β
"I'm just not good at words."
Aragina opened her mouth and finally said this, and Elizabeth sneered and stopped looking at her, but looked at Jasmine and Valentina next to her,
"In the past 10,000 years of history, when the mythical species still existed, human beings were like grass mustard; At this moment, it is hard to get a respite, but it is waiting for the myth to revive and everything to perish. Even if you take 10,000 steps back, the destruction will be solved by you, and then what? Nari, the entire Western Continent, and the human race watched as you, the kingdoms created by high-ranking beings, climbed to the top, and then became slaves after a hundred years? β
Valentina took a deep breath and hurriedly said,
"I would never do that, the Sycamore Tree treats all living beings equally."
"yes, you won't. But your children, your grandchildren, your generations will. They will slowly not understand why their ancestors shared the resources that belonged to them to the inferior and weak humans, and this dissatisfaction will slowly deepen and slowly change the world, until one day, one of your descendants can no longer bear it and will take everything away from them. β
In fact, when Elizabeth sat on the throne and saw the nature of the world through Earwind, the prosthetic eye, and the eventual chaos, she had been thinking about rank.
As a human being, she naturally wondered why there was a hierarchy since God created everything, and why humans always stood at the bottom of the hierarchy and relied on the "vigilance" of other creatures to survive.
In the era when she grew up and when myths were dying out, humans had always been revered, and among them, Nari was especially strong.
She is the Empress of Nari, and she has a responsibility to keep it great.
When she saw that many mythical ranks rose in the world, the Red Dragon Court, the Sycamore, and the ocean, but the human rank was always the same, even if there was magic as a tool, but magic could not cross the myth, once there was a myth, then it would be a catastrophe for mankind.
With Fisher's regret, his duty to Nari, and his disappointment with the world.
It can be said that all these reasons can drive Elizabeth into chaos and reinvent a new order, so when Valentina and Jasmine innocently ask her to stop, she is of course sarcastic.
As Elizabeth, when Fisher couldn't turn back, she had no way back; As the empress, when the myth returns, there is no turning back.
Valentina was silent, but Jasmine gritted her teeth and said,
"Sophistry!! Elizabeth, what about when Nari was honored? When you were strong, why did you let go of those weak subhumans in the Southern Continent? Isn't it what the weak human race has ever feared most of the mighty mythical species to do to them, and you have plundered the land, the riches, and the creatures that slaughter the creatures there? What right do you have to be afraid, what right to betray the world you have destroyed? β
Unexpectedly, hearing Jasmine's words, Elizabeth not only did not get angry, but looked at her with a [sarcastic expression] that Jasmine had never seen before.
The look in her eyes brought her a sense of fateful mockery and unease, but Elizabeth did not know why until she gave an answer.
But Elizabeth was silent for a moment, but did not say the answer that disturbed Jasmine, but only used a cruel reason as a substitute,
"So, then, you bento Nari is the betrayal you have chosen to avoid revenge from your men who have been brutalized, I am their empress, and I am responsible only to my people, my soldiers, and my country."
"You. . . Darn!! β
The ominous and uneasy feeling was quickly overshadowed by the anger caused by Elizabeth's outrageous words, Jasmine gritted her teeth and raised the golden sword in her hand to point it at her, and Valentina sighed, her eyes resolute,
"In that case, let's stop talking nonsense."
"You think you can win?"
But Elizabeth's golden eyes flickered slightly, as if she had seen something in between.
She sneered and covered her face,
"Huh. Huh"
Jasmine couldn't help but draw her sword and move forward, but in an instant, a chilling feeling came over them.
It was as if the heart was being grasped by an extremely powerful hand, which made Valentina and the three of them breathless.
This is
Valentina and Jasmine looked up in disbelief, only to see an illusory shadow fly down from the crack and fall like light on Elizabeth's side.
"Boom!"
That powerful aura, that terrifying rank
Elizabeth put down the hand covering her face, and all that was left was her beautiful face, which was extremely cold and full of murderous intent.
And what appeared beside her at this moment was the nineteenth-order Pandora Phantom!
Her golden eyes were hollow, and she raised the golden long sword in her hand and pointed at the three people in front of her,
"Since you like the Mythical Rank so much, then I'll let you have a good taste of being crushed by the Mythical Rank. You sluts who have a relationship with Fisher, one counts as one, and I'm going to see what you can do today."
"Come on!!"
Valentina's expression instantly became serious, not because she was intimidated by Elizabeth's terrifying momentum, nor because she was so powerful, she was just thinking at the moment, if the shadow of Pandora above came down, would it mean that the chaos avatars above and Fisher no longer needed it for their confrontation?
That is, Fisher they may be in danger at the moment!
A drop of cold sweat slipped down Valentina's forehead involuntarily, and Jasmine stared at the terrifying shadow, the huge gap in rank even gave her the feeling that she could see a marquee.
Nineteenth rank
What should I do?
Valentina and Jasmine, the two of them who could most intuitively perceive the rank, hesitated slightly, and Elizabeth sneered, and the eyes of the Pandora phantom beside her became brighter and brighter, and in silence, the broken ground below also began to fade and turn into a stony gray.
At this time, the fastest reaction turned out to be Alagina next to her.
She's just not good at words, but in terms of rank, she really can't compare to the little whale next to her and the Xiaoice chicken.
"Let's go!!"
Asking for votes, tips, and support is very important to me!
Thank you very much for your support!
