Chapter 174: Chinobi
This terrible momentum is really hard to resist.
When the three great magicians saw this scene, they could only keep retreating.
Soon, they were forced to come to the edge of the woods.
Seeing this, the Wind Archmage suddenly snorted, "In this case, we have to do it!"
As soon as he spoke, a strong wind blew around him.
Just heard a few crisp "whoosh" sounds, the leading horseman's body swayed from side to side, dodging the previous two knives, but was hit by the third knife.
The helmet fell off with a "click", and the leading knight revealed his true face.
"What! It's an elemental!" The three great magicians were shocked!
It turned out that these "glittering" knights had their solid hair curled up and hidden behind their helmets!
But now, the helmets on the knights' heads have been destroyed, and their identities have been revealed.
This ancient elemental knight is none other than Leonardo da Vinci, who has chosen to remain loyal to Ace forever.
Of course, these 25 knights are the Ghost Knights legion that Ace saved from the door of death.
Over the years, Ace had often taught them "time magic", so he gave them a new name, "Shine".
Normally, elemental angels should not choose to study magic, as they revere the power of nature and worship the Sea King who once lived in Moonlight Lake.
However, the high priest of the ancient elemental envoys once said that one should not disobey the Messiah. What's more, now that they have completely followed Ace and separated from the Elemental Envoys, they don't need to follow so many traditions and rules.
In addition, Ace was also surprised to find that the Ancient Elemental Envoy could quickly master the magic of "time", much faster than ordinary people!
Therefore, in less than three years, this cavalry called "Shine" became very powerful. Its surface power is at the level of a Magister, but its actual combat power is far beyond that.
When such a 25-man "glitter" cavalry goes out, any archmage will be terrified in front of them.
The Archmage is more immune to magic than the Magister, so if there is only one "Flash" Cavalry, the Archmage will not care.
However, when 25 "glitter" cavalry appeared at the same time, the archmage also felt hopeless. Because as long as these knights attack at the same time, the Grand Mage will not be able to move for more than half a minute, and will basically be in a state of being slaughtered.
In addition, these "Bright" knights are very physical. For a weak mage, it's simply a natural nemesis.
This is the horror of the "Shine" Knight!
The three mages looked at each other, their eyes full of fear and anxiety.
Because Leonardo da Vinci slowly raised his head and looked at the three of them: "Now, you can't leave if you want to!"
Immediately after that, he disappeared!
Among them, the earth mage moves quickly. His right foot was on the ground, and suddenly a cobblestone wall surrounded the three of them, protecting them in the middle.
At the moment when the stone wall appeared, there was only a loud bang, and a red flame hit the stone wall.
The stone wall shook twice, and many cracks appeared in an instant. If you take another shock, I'm afraid it will collapse.
The three of them were shocked, because there was no mention in the previous information that the "Flash" knight would use only fire magic!
How could this leading "Bright" knight have such a strong affinity for fire?
Another Wind Archmage quickly recited a spell and shouted, "Hurricane!"
At that time, there was a small hurricane around the three people. Although the hurricane is not large, the concentration of the wind element is high.
At this moment, a green and tough vine suddenly appeared in the stone wall. As the vines continued to spread and expand, the stone walls burst.
Later, Leonardo da Vinci, whose mask was destroyed, slowly walked towards the three magicians.
At this moment, the "green sword" on Leonardo da Vinci's waist turned red!
This ancient wizard's magic sword has the attributes of various natural elements!
The previous Flame Blaster was not Leonardo da Vinci
, but the "Green Sword".
At this time, the green "green sword" is an attribute of life and a unique natural belief of the elemental envoys.
Leonardo da Vinci turned his head slightly, and said to the other "glitter" knights behind him, "Go deal with those guys in the back!"
Soon, ten "Bright" knights drove the spirit rider away.
The three mages tried to stop them, but Leonardo da Vinci's "Green Sword" waved vigorously, and a huge vine suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their backs.
Leonardo da Vinci looked at the wall of wind and said coldly, "Do you think it's useful to hide behind?"
After saying that, the "Green Sword" in his hand shone brightly.
Then, the ground beneath the feet of the three archmages began to crack, and countless vines grew out of the ground, forcing them out of the wind curtain.
At the moment when the three of them left the curtain of the Wind Wall, twenty "Flash" knights simultaneously unleashed the magic of time stasis. At this moment, three unfortunate people were trapped in the air, still holding their original positions.
Leonardo da Vinci slowly walked up to the three men, walked up to them, stood down, and took out his green sword.
His wrist trembled, and the color of the green sword turned blue again.
Then an arc was drawn in the air, and the head of a great magician immediately fell.
Then he went to the second mage. A perfect arc was drawn again, and the second head also fell off.
As Leonardo da Vinci was about to remove the head of the third mage, he heard a crisp "thud" and the "Green Sword" buzzed, as if he had cut it into a very hard metal plate.
"Huh?" Leonardo da Vinci was a little surprised.
However, a golden aura appeared on the neck of the third mage, protecting the neck below him.
Just as Leonardo da Vinci was about to change the color of the "Green Sword" again and try to use another sword, the magical effect of "Time and Space Standstill" disappeared.
Which archmage was shocked to find out that both of his companions had lost their lives. He quickly crushed a magic scroll.
In the next second, the only surviving Great Magister had already appeared thousands of meters away.
This is a wind-type archmagiser-level magic scroll called "Teleportation".
He knew that in this situation, if there was the slightest hesitation, he would definitely end up with those two companions today.
And seeing that the wind archmage had run away, Da Vinci didn't decide to chase anymore.
Although temporal magic is strong, it has a big weakness, that is, it cannot be released twice in a short period of time!!
This is also the biggest drawback of time-based magic.
And the other party himself is a wind type archmage, and it is not easy to chase down.
Shortly after the release of the Grand Mage, the ten Knights of the Radiant who had hunted down the Night Scouts returned to the army.
"How?" Leonardo da Vinci inquired about the situation.
One of them replied, "There are five people in total, and all of them have been resolved."
The man nodded, "It's a pity that one of the remaining archmages escaped!"
However, Leonardo da Vinci was satisfied that he was able to kill two great magicians at the same time.
Actually, they don't really want to kill. After all, there are other important things to do, and you need to go to Thorn City to pick up people.
But since these three people are blocking the way, they can only choose to take action.
However, in Leonardo da Vinci's opinion, although these three were all great magicians, it was obvious that they had just broken through, so their strength was not as strong as expected.
What's more, the Shining Knight launched a surprise attack and chose to attack at the moment when they were about to jump out of the wind curtain. It was a surprise that caught the opponent off guard.
In this case, taking advantage of the great advantage of "time stasis" can be considered as a successful killing of the two great mages.
In the end, the Wind Archmage escaped, which was acceptable. It's just that the trouble is,
The identities of their ancient elemental envoys may soon be revealed.
In this way, the New Delhi Empire can once again make a fuss and call Ace's collusion with the Elemental Envoy a conclusive fact.
However, at this moment, they don't have much time to think about these things that may happen in the future. For them, the most important task at this time is to rush to Thorn City as soon as possible to pick up important people.
Leonardo da Vinci put on a new mask to cover his face.
On the road after that, no one dared to stop them, despite the fact that the spies of the New Delhi Empire did not give up and still had people follow them from a distance.
Along the way, this powerful cavalry stopped outside the city and did not storm the city.
On the contrary, it made the New Delhi garrison even more uneasy.
If the New Delhi Empire had been able to grasp this cavalry trend, they would definitely set a trap here and wait for this mysterious cavalryman named "Shine" to fall into the trap.
After all, this force is really strong. This has been a huge threat to New Delhi.
Unfortunately, the "Flash" knights have always been mysterious, and it is difficult for the New Delhi Empire to defend in advance, so all New Delhi can do at this time is to pray that this cavalry will not slaughter the city!
At the same time, several cities around Thorn City also received news from the spy and began to gather a large number of powerful people to support Thorn City at any time.
However, after more than two hours, the cavalry never moved again. Stop a few hundred meters outside the city, not knowing what they were waiting for.
By this time, reinforcements from the surrounding cities had arrived and were stationed on the hillside in the distance, observing the movements of the "Flash" cavalry.
Seeing the sun set in the west, they still didn't make much noise. Just when everyone thought that they would spend the day safely, a very inconspicuous figure suddenly appeared in front of the city gate and mingled with them.
That's when Leonardo da Vinci finally took action.
With his horse in his arms, he slowly walked towards the convoy.
The merchants looked frightened and hurried to give way to one of the roads on either side.
Only the inconspicuous young man walked straight towards Leonardo da Vinci.
I don't know who it was, but suddenly I shouted, "Stop him." That's Drew, the Scout Captain lurking in the Empire!"
For a time, all the reinforcements in New Delhi were thrown into disarray.
As it turns out, Drew has also been engaged in intelligence gathering in recent years, which is believed to have been instructed by his grandfather.
In recent years, he has made rapid progress, and now he is the chief scout of the Imperial Thorn Rose in New Delhi.
This time, Drew needed to go to the prairies to attend to some urgent matters, so Esther invited the Knight of Light to pick him up.
In addition, according to Drew's speculation, his tracks may have been discovered by "Dark Night", so there is an urgent need to move his location.
At this point, when he was discovered, Drew was still not alarmed.
The "Flash" cavalry behind Leonardo da Vinci began to slowly move in the direction of Thorn City.
At this moment, on the hillside next to the City of Thorns, someone shouted, "If anyone can kill the leader of the spies, Your Majesty will give you a rich reward!"
Immediately dozens of people rushed in the direction of Drew.
Leonardo da Vinci did not change his speed, he still walked leisurely. Another 24 "Bright" knights, divided into two parts, left and right, rushed to both sides of the main road, preparing to intercept reinforcements from New Delhi.
Seeing that the army was about to charge, the "Shining Knight" used time-based magic almost at the same time, and the world came to a standstill.
Then there was a one-sided bloody massacre. All those who tried to rush down and kill Drew were killed by this "Flash" cavalry.
Soon, both sides of the road were covered in blood, and a strong smell of blood came to the nostrils, making people feel sick.
Soon, the effects of time stagnation ended, and the world returned to normal. But the tragic sight on the ground numbed all the survivors.
One second, they watched the soldiers rush over, and the next,. Seeing such a bloody scene, how could they not feel creepy?
Some hesitated for a moment and finally did not attack
The New Delhi soldiers couldn't help but pat their chests when they saw the terrible scene in front of them. They were glad that there was no impulse at that time.
Otherwise, maybe it's yourself who lies in a pool of blood!
This attack by the "Shining Knight" directly shocked everyone present! No one dares to move forward!
In recent years, the reputation of the "Shining Knight" lies in his powerful actions that can create huge victories in a short period of time. Such a swift battle will crush the enemy's desire to fight almost instantly, leaving the enemy with almost no hope of victory.
However, no one knew that the "Flash" Cavaliers relied on this terrifying starting advantage. Once "Time and Space Stand" is used, the combat effectiveness of the "Flash" cavalry will be greatly reduced, and it will take a long time to use this magic again.
At this time, the "Flash" cavalry was the most vulnerable, but everyone was surprised by their previous attack, so they didn't dare to act rashly!
Although there were many reinforcements in the New Delhi Empire, after seeing the terrible combat effectiveness of the "Flash" cavalry, they only dared to wait and see from a distance, and did not dare to move forward.
Leonardo da Vinci met Drew, then joined the army, and turned with them to head west.
On the hillside, one of the paladins of the legion did not understand very well. He said to the red-haired man next to him, "Commander, just let them go? Aren't we chasing?"
The red-haired man looked young. His eyes were firm and deep, his face was expressionless, and he did not answer. I don't know what I'm thinking.
After Leonardo da Vinci and the others were gone, the red-haired man said, "I can't expose myself too soon, just like the Shining Knight, and it would be a big mistake for me to reveal my strength now!"
The legionnaire sighed, "Last time, in order to kill Ace, the Lord is dead. This time, two great mages died, and there were so many powerful mages, and so on......."
The soldier wanted to say more, but he was horrified by the grim look in the red-haired man's eyes, and he swallowed the words into his mouth.
"I've already said that the big picture is the most important thing! I can't afford to waste so many years of patience in order to get this opportunity." The red-haired man whispered.
Seeing the Knight of Shine escorting Drew away, the red-haired man said to several of his subordinates, "Let's go, we have more important things to do!"
With that, the red-haired man turned and walked down the hillside towards the manor in the distance.
When the others saw this, they also hurried to follow, not daring to disobey the military order.
The red-haired man's name is Chinobi and he is now the commander of the New Delhi Legion.
However, this man has kept a low profile for years. Even Thorn Rose thought he was just a servant dedicated to the king's work and didn't pose much of a threat, so he never thought of killing him.
In addition, the "Thorn Rose" also believes that it is better to have this person as the commander of the Emperor of New Delhi than others. After all, in their opinion, Chinobi is, at best, a close-knit person, a mediocre person.
Because in recent years, the New Delhi Corps seems to have done very little, apart from strict scrutiny when recruiting.
If other people become regimental commanders, they may also make a lot of big moves, which is really bad for Ace's troops.
But they don't know that it's all a disguise for Chinobi. What he wants to do is always done in an orderly manner.
It is thanks to the assessment of the Thorn Rose that Chinobi has been very stable in recent years and has not been assassinated by any assassinations.
This time, Chinobi came here from the Warcraft Mountains to deal with an important matter. It was also an accident that he would see the Knight of Light.
When Chinobi returned to the manor with the legion, there were already people waiting at the gate of the manor.
Ten years ago, the old servants of the manor hurried to the manor to welcome the big men of these legions into the manor.
Following the old servants, they turned left and right in the middle of the manor. After a while, they finally came to a small, lonely room.
The old servant pointed to the bookshelf in the corner and said, "Sir, the secret passage is behind the cupboard. According to the rules, I can't go near it."
Chinobi nodded, "Okay, I see. You can go down first."
The old servant bowed respectfully and left the room, leaving only Chinobi and another officer.
Although the old servant did not know the specific identity of Chinobi, he knew that his identity was absolutely special.
This manor originally belonged to an old marquis of the empire, but not so long ago, this old marquis died, and the manor was supposed to be taken over by the descendants of the old marquis.
However, the descendants of the old marquis left here and went to the Central Plains, leaving behind only such a dilapidated manor.
The old servant also chose to stay here because he was old and weak.
However, it didn't take long for the old servant to receive news that the new master was about to take over the estate.
The old servant was about to pack up and leave. After all, this is someone else's territory, and he is not fit to stay here.
However, the new master sent someone to ask the old servant to stay and take care of him.
Naturally, the old servant was pleased and agreed to stay. He looked after the old manor house where he had lived for decades, waiting for the arrival of a new owner.
Unexpectedly, this wait was a year and a half.
Today, he met his new owner for the first time. Although he did not know the identity of the other party, it was clear from his clothes and retinue that he was a big man in the army.
After having been a housekeeper in a noble family for so many years, he naturally knew what to say and what not to ask, so after he took Chinobi to the guest room, he wisely chose to leave.
After the old butler left, Chinobi looked around the room and said, "Basically spotless. It seems that although the old butler is old, he is still very careful."
The person next to him said, "You gave the job to the old man, so he must be grateful. If he can't even do such a small thing, it will be useless."
"Alright, let me go down and see what's going on." With that, Chinobi walked over to the bookshelf.
He looked up and down the bookshelf and found a small candelabra on the wall next to the shelf.
He turned the menorah slightly, and the bookshelf moved to the side, revealing a passage to the basement.
While the regimental commander was still hesitant to follow him, Chinobi urged him below, "Get down."
Then, the officer exhaled and walked into the tunnel.
The officer had been following Chinobi for several years, but so far he still could not understand Chinobi's character.
Because Chinobi is always moody. When he is in a good mood, his subordinates will not be punished even if they make big mistakes. But when he is in a bad mood, even if it is just a small mistake, he will not hesitate to kill him.
With Chinobi's back, the officer felt hotter and hotter. Exhaled a hot breath from below, making him feel breathless.
When he followed Chinobi to the bottom of the tunnel, he was immediately shocked by what he saw.
There is a unique cave underneath. There is a huge cave underneath. The ground at the bottom of the cave is red and full of cracks. It seems that there is a large amount of magma underground, which could erupt at any time.
The smell of burning blows from below.
At this time, they were standing in the middle of the cave wall, and at their feet was an abyss nearly 100 meters high!
On the stone walls, there are many protruding long stones, which seem to have been deliberately repaired.
"Come down with me!" Chinobi said very calmly.
"Ah! Huh?" The officer couldn't help but scream, but he quickly realized his gaffe and quickly calmed down, but he was still scared.
As a general, he's agile, but it's magma here. If he falls unexpectedly, he will definitely die.
If you are a water magician, you can also rely on ice magic to survive.
Chinobi glared at him and said, "How did you become so cowardly?"
The officer smiled awkwardly and said, "Commander! There seems to be nothing here but hot lava fields! What should we do?"
Pointing to the center of the cave in the distance, he said, "Who said nothing? Are you blind?"
The officer looked at stalactites like stones for a long time, but he did not see any difference.
Chinobi looked impatient and said
"I've been with you for years, but you're still so timid? It's useless!"
With that, he chanted the incantation in his mouth, and then slapped his right hand against the hot rock wall next to him, turning his palm towards the wall. A stone bridge was formed in an instant, connecting the two sides of the cave.
