ACT108: The Alone King
"You guys keep going, I'll deal with these guys!"
Seeing that the others had already arrived, Eddie once again took on the task of pinning down the enemy, and as soon as Brian tried to shoot with his bow, Eddie rushed straight at him. Although Brian is a rare "god dodge" as a marksman, and his wind-scratching position can always dodge Eddie's knight spear, he is also powerless to be distracted, and can only watch Weiss pass by.
The last time they saw Brian was in Swordfish Harbor in the West Flame Continent, when they were being observed and treated in the Republic's quarantine zone, and Brian and his daughter Linda were picked up first.
The explanation given by the head of the republic to the Nadal survivors at the time was that Blair would be brought to trial in Langson's court for "justice", but Weiss understood that this was just a coaxing of Nadal's people!
A master of the military level like Brian, even if it is a strong country like the Republic of Langson, there are probably no more than 20 people in the whole country. As a third-party force with impure purposes, the people of the Republic do not have the same bitter hatred as the Nadals, and if there were enough survivors of Nadal, they might have publicly executed Brian for the sake of rule to reassure the people, but there were less than 100,000 survivors under Langson's rule, and there were not as many garrisons as they sent to the past.
Originally, Weiss thought that Brian would be forcibly recruited into the Republican [***] team, but what he didn't expect was that he would meet again as a hostile under such circumstances. This made him wonder if the Republic had anything to do with it, and he even looked at Wendy and Lytis with a little more vigilance.
In fact, Weiss thinks too much about this matter, Wendy and Lytis can be said to be completely ignorant of the cause of the magic storm, and the high-level of the republic is also kept in the dark, they may not know as much as the current Wesz, only Edward's old guy knows some unknown "inside information".
When Brian and her daughter Linda were taken to the Republic, they lived together for a week before they separated again, Linda was sent to a boarding school for girls, and Brian was brought to a "big man", and this big man was Poliviera, the number two in the Endeavour Party.
Born in the army, Polivela was the most radical politician in the republic, and could even be said to be "one of the none"! He was the only person among all the presidential candidates who often talked about "waging war," so he was revered by nationalists and militants in the country as "the man who could save the country."
Relying on his power and connections in the army, Polivela easily saved Brian from court. What the other party did in Nadal made Polivela think that the man was very controlling, as long as he held his daughter in the palm of his hand and made him willing to say anything.
And it turned out to be exactly what he thought, and after sending Linda to a well-appointed girls' school and guaranteeing that the father and daughter would see each other for half a day a week, Brian agreed to join Polivela's personal guard. This taciturn man is now the number one master on Polivela's side, so this time he meets the mysterious organization, and Polivela takes him with him to protect himself.
It's also against the military level, and Eddie, as a knight, has no problem dealing with Brian as a shooter in close quarters, so everyone is relieved to hand this side over to him, and continues to move forward, and soon comes to the edge of the sinkhole.
As soon as everyone arrived at the edge of the pit, they were stunned by the scene inside, a huge spherical device was erected in the center of the sinkhole, surrounded by pipes and wiring, densely covering the bottom of the pit almost completely, and many workers in protective suits were going back and forth to maintain those devices.
"W-What is this!?"
The situation in front of them was beyond everyone's imagination, and their intuition told them that the boiler-like device was the cause of this magical storm, but this kind of subversive thing made them unacceptable for a while. Just when they were still shocked by this, there was a dense sound of footsteps behind them, and a large group of armed men surrounded them from both sides, and a purple-haired young man in a straight suit walked over as if he was strolling leisurely, and elegantly stroked their chests.
"Welcome to all of you, please forgive me for the disappointment!"
In line with this cognitive code, Wess focused on guarding against this purple-haired young man who looked like a boss, but the other party's attention was not on him at all, but he turned his "gaze" to Lytis, and even Eras, the big demon, didn't even take a look at it.
"Who are you?"
"You'll soon know who we are, Miss Lytis. ”
opened her mouth and called out Lytis's name, apparently the other party already knew her identity, Wendy immediately stepped forward to block in front of Lytis. At present, although there are many people on the other side, there are no more military-level masters, and the Weiss side with Eras currently occupies an "absolute advantage", but this situation was quickly reversed with a snap of the purple-haired youth's fingers.
Standing there, Eras suddenly felt several breaking sounds coming at him in all directions, so he raised his hand and used his magic to erect a barrier for himself. The flying objects were all arrows of various colors, and there were at least 10 or more archers lying in ambush around them, but the power of these arrows was nothing compared to Brian's previous ones.
Sure enough, most of the arrows were blocked by the barrier, but three arrows from behind penetrated his magic barrier without hindrance, directly hitting his **, and Eras's body was immediately in a burst of it.
"You ......"
With a look of disbelief, Erras, who had been playing the role of "MT" and resisting countless attacks for everyone, fell to his knees with only weak knees, and opened his mouth to spew out a large mouthful of blood, startling the other companions.
"Eras, what's wrong with you?"
"Sanctions...... Arrows!"
The crowd found that Eras had three strangely shaped arrows stuck in his back, and they could feel the surging power from above. Weiss originally thought that this was some mortal weapon made by the other party, but after hearing the words "Arrow of Sanctions", Lytis said that this is a weapon used by the heavenly realm to hunt down traitors, and it has the ability to inflict heavy damage and even kill demons and angels.
It is impossible to imagine how the other party obtained this celestial weapon, and when he was caught off guard, Eras was severely damaged and completely lost his combat effectiveness. It feels like two groups of kindergarten kids fighting, and an adult with a big waist comes out to help, thinking that there will be no pressure, but the other party suddenly comes out with an AK47.
"Tsk! What a pity! This demon friend of yours is so careless. Although we in the mortal world are weak, we are not the lackeys of you gods that can be bullied casually. ”
Undisguised as his disgust for the Heavenly Realm, the purple-haired young man waved his hand and motioned for his subordinates behind him to move. Weiss had already realized that the other party was also a person with chess pieces, and he was a king like himself, and if he could not cross him to start a war, he could only take a risk and launch a "formal challenge" to the other party.
"I, Wess Wright, and my family are officially inviting your team to fight!"
Regardless of whether they can win the opponent's team or not, at least an angel and a demon can be summoned to the earth, and they will certainly not sit idly by when they see Eras injured. But what Weiss didn't expect was that the other party would admit defeat without even thinking about it.
"Very good, I accept the challenge, and then I surrender!"
The purple-haired young man admitted defeat unusually simply, so simply that the summoning array of the Heavenly Realm did not even appear, and the game was already over. Weiss was like a hard punch on the cotton bale, which had no effect at all, and the other party summoned his Black King chess piece, and then said with a mocking look.
"I'm not interested in that kind of god-made stuff at all, and I don't want to fight to please those high-ranking idiots. Anyway, I'm a bare-bones commander, and for me, this chess piece is just a tool to balance the war court, and I don't care if I win or lose, let alone ...... I also have no followers to plunder for you. (To be continued.) )
