Chapter 73: The Courage of the Horseman

"Since it's two entrances, why don't you take me to the other entrance?"

"Because there's a denser enemy over there, you don't want to get too much unnecessary blood."

"I see. And what about the structure inside the mine? ”

"It's a two-story structure. The entrance I walked into was the upper level of the cave, and the space in the cave was small, so there were no enemies. The passage to the lower level is at the very end of the path. ”

"So - that's the enemy's lair beneath the ground?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. The space is very large, and halfway into the underground, there will be forks in the road, which lead to different locations. The final enemy you're looking for is in a different location. ”

"Haven't you been found by probing so carefully?"

"It's unlikely that a normal human will be able to detect a night crow, only mentally strong people can."

"I'm relieved when you say that."

It's hard to imagine.

It took only a few seconds to transfer here from the village of Tergasna.

However, in just a few seconds, the three Night Ravens completed the difficult division of labor perfectly.

The Night Raven is a schizophrenic from Kurt's flesh, similar to the schizophrenic created by the Night Pavilion.

There are differences, though.

It's not like the Night Pavilion that weakens the ontology's abilities every time it splits.

This also means that the Night Raven's split will not make Kurt look younger or weaker.

The ability to seem to have few side effects is actually a drawback.

The biggest drawback is probably the lack of autonomy.

The Night Raven does not have a consciousness and subjective thoughts of its own like the splinter body of the Night Pavilion.

In other words, the Night Raven's mind after birth was dictated by the instructions given by Kurt before the split.

As long as the order is given and the division is completed, it is impossible to change the will of the Night Raven itself.

Even Kurt, as the master, can't change it at will, let alone other mental magic that alters his memory.

The Night Raven itself is the form of an ordinary crow, and its size may be smaller, but its speed and lethality are far apart.

In addition to this, night crows also need to eat.

When it does not split from the Kot body, it is the spirit of the Kot that eats it.

After splitting, it eats the spirit of a creature that is weaker than the Night Raven itself.

The so-called "spirit" is very general and involves a lot of things. To mention the metaphor, it is "dreams" and "emotions".

To put it simply, the splintered Night Raven can no longer consume Kurt's spirit, let alone gluttony.

But all the creatures that live in this land are edible, including the mighty dragons.

For this reason, the strength of the Night Raven must be at the "God Level", and it is definitely not a problem for the harm of the real world.

So Kurt's orders require my approval before they can summon the Night Raven.

Originally, I wanted to let the Night Raven infiltrate the mine to defeat the enemy, but it was too dangerous to think about it.

Although the Night Raven's abilities are similar to those of Kurt, they can cause people to dream -

But sure enough, it is more reassuring to complete the task by yourself.

Seeing that it was already dark, it was not too early.

"Let's go inside."

Wu glanced at Kou beside him.

"Yes."

Two figures slowly walked into the dark mine.

The sound of footsteps echoed through the narrow cave.

Stepping on the corroded wooden treads that had long been eroded by moisture, the path into the mine seemed to be a downward slope, and in the quiet cave, in addition to the footsteps of the two people, there was a faint sound of running water at the bottom of the cave.

The slope is not very sloping, but the surface of the plank is covered with damp moss, and if you are not careful, you will slip.

The candles on the rock walls were indeed lit, and the intact wicks proved that they had just been replaced.

The hole in the mine is about three meters high and only one meter wide, and the air quality in the congested hole is very bad, not only does it smell of sulfur, but there are also unknown dust flying everywhere, so that Wu almost sneezes several times.

But as the Lord of Kings, sneezing is too ugly.

Wu could only endure the sour itch on the tip of his nose, hold his hideous mouth and nose and continue walking.

As we go deeper, the strong smell of sulfur becomes more pungent.

Kurt didn't seem to feel any discomfort, except that because of his slender stature, his movements were restricted by a narrow cave, and his movements were rather slow and twisted.

The sulfur smell is just too stinky.

Wu couldn't bear the smell, and finally pinched his nose and continued to move forward, suppressing the desire to sneeze by the way.

"Kurt, how far is it to get to the secret passage to the lower level?"

"It will only take a few minutes. It appears to be an emergency evacuation route for escape. ”

"But since it's used as an evacuation route, this small space is really not suitable."

"It seems that the other party should be on temporary standby."

"Why?"

"It's just speculation, not a very important insight."

"Guess? It's a good guess though. It is indeed possible that this is a position where the other party is forced to stand by, looking at the candles hanging on both sides, it is obvious that there are people who change regularly, but the pedals under our feet show signs of corrosion that have been idle for many years, and we can conclude that this was originally an abandoned mine, but it was occupied and used by the enemy. ”

"I see! The adult's opinion is very reasonable. ”

"It's just speculation."

But—

It is uncertain if the two impersonating Lola and Behemo are from the Enk Magisters.

It's also very strange to say that it's a noble Magister Regiment, but it voluntarily lives here?

Was it because he was exiled from the kingdom because of his mistakes?

But I've never heard of this case myself.

If not, then where will the other party be sacred?

Everything still needs to be verified by your own hands.

Long walks.

I only knew that the path became narrower and narrower, and even Wu Du began to bend his back before he could continue walking.

The candles hanging by the walls are also becoming more and more sparse.

The light is getting dimmer.

"My lord! Please stop. ”

Kurt suddenly stretched out his hand, alertly stopping Wu for the time being.

No matter how dim the light is, you can see it clearly.

In front of me is a dead end, with a wall made of dry earth and gravel.

Squeezed together in a small space, no matter how small the demeanor is, it may be rude to Wu as a superior.

For this reason, Kurt maintained a fixed walking posture throughout the journey, just for fear of offending Wu.

Wu himself is naturally very aware of this matter.

However, this move represents what seems to be the danger at hand.

But it's also about time-

The slope down the ground has approached the plane, which already means that we are about to step into the enemy's old lair.

"Is walking through this mud wall the enemy's stronghold?"

Wu simply confirmed.

"Yes! However, there are multiple barriers on the walls that can block all magic, and they need to be destroyed first. ”

"I think so. So how are you going to break through? ”

"It doesn't seem that difficult to understand, and before destroying it, there is something I want to confirm with you."

"What's the matter?"

"Thank you for your permission. There are a lot of human guards deployed behind this mud wall, but I haven't sensed the existence of monsters for the time being, and the moment the mud wall is destroyed, it will inevitably cause a battle, and I want to ask about the bottom line of the next battle. ”

"Human Guards...... Is it? ”

Using his gluttonous appetite again, Wu's eyes stared directly at the impermeable mud wall.

The earth-gray mud walls began to glow with colorful lights.

These halos are only visible to the turnips.

It was the element in the body of the guards stationed behind the mud walls.

The number of halos is very dense, and it seems that the number of guards is very large, which proves that the size of the enemy's lair is huge.

It's bound to be a tug-of-war.

But that's not what I originally intended -

On the way here, Wu also thought a lot.

Instead of using only the power of the gods to achieve your goals, why not summon more different forces for your own use?

It doesn't matter if it's not strong, even if it's a small effort, it can become a big picture.

Although he has not yet figured out the true identity of the enemy, if he has the opportunity to win over the other party, he must grasp it.

For this reason, we must not move the killing machine.

"Give them mercy and comfort so that they are temporarily incapacitated to fight."

"Yes."

Kurt nodded solemnly to receive the order.

The two pairs of eyes stared directly at the brittle but not solid mud wall, ready for battle.

"Bump!" There was a loud bang.

The deafening sound of the explosion shattered the silence of the cavern, and dust scattered all around.

Many pairs of eyes disturbed by the sound of explosions met each other, all shifting to a common goal.

Two figures emerged from the smoke gorgeously.

"I didn't expect so many people to wait for us."

A joking tone is used as a line when appearing.

Wu greeted all the guards present with a smile on his face.

The purple gold dragon robe that greeted his eyes made Wu's heart feel shocked.

Isn't this the magic robe of the Enk Magister!?

Is it really a soldier of the Enk Magister?

He had only glanced at the appearance of the dragon robe a few times, but the glorious purple gold and dragon pattern did appear in front of him.

It seems to be true.

The number of guards was unexpected, and some of them did not seem to be seen from the insight they had just seen.

The strength of the Magister Regiment should not be underestimated, and releasing water is not a wise choice.

Even if there is a huge difference in the strength of the two sides, they should still not underestimate the enemy.

In addition, he can only use it at present, but he has not learned how to control his strength.

It seems inevitable that several innocent lives will be sacrificed.

Wu and Kurt's uninvited arrival really stunned the soldiers.

The two sides were at a stalemate for a few seconds.

"That...... Do you want to say something? ”

Wu asked politely.

The soldiers finally came to their senses - the two were the intruders.

Everyone instantly switched to a state of readiness, and the blades of war pointed at Wu and Kurt, who were empty-handed.

"Who's coming?"

"Great, finally reacted. We're good friends of your chief, haven't you heard of it? ”

"Are you the 'Fortes' and 'Longnsmu' as the leader calls them?"

"Well...... I am indeed Fortes. But the man next to me wasn't called Longnsmu, he was called 'Kurt'. ”

"Why are you telling us this?"

"Well—why? The answer to this question may depend on several leaders. Then again, our current relationship is still antagonistic, and we've been in the business for so long, shouldn't you do something? ”

"Hmph, just two people are so arrogant? I didn't even prepare some weapons, so I came to die for nothing? ”

"Well, you're starting to think about the enemy, and you, as the master, are too undignified, right?"

"I don't want you to say that. Brothers—Capture Alive! ”

"Oh——————!"

The roar of high morale instantly pierced the entire cave, as if it could crush the cave.

A battle of nearly 100 people rushed towards Wu and Kot.

But the two of them were not the slightest defense.

First of all.

It is a part of the aptitude test.

"Ironclad!"

With a wave of his hand, something seemed to emerge from the top of the cave, and suddenly everyone's figures were instantly covered by shadows.

The sudden change caused everyone to stop and look up—

"This ...... What the hell is this!? ”

I saw thousands of silver spear blades tilted in the air in unison, and the sharp blades were pointing at the ground.

That is, nearly a hundred enemies.

Everyone looked at it dumbfounded, and then Wu suddenly kindly reminded:

"Aren't you guys backing off?"

"What!?"

Everyone immediately understood Wu's reminder.

Piercing the ground as cruelly as heavenly punishment.

The crowd began to turn and flee.

A meteor rain of gunfire began to fall to the ground.

The ground underneath was bombarded with a dense rain of gunfire, and suddenly the smoke covered the surroundings again.

Waiting for the smoke to clear, the ground is suffocating like a hedgehog, creating a chasm between the two sides.

This is the second test that Wu gives to everyone.

Guts.

"As you can see, I have given you a chance, but those brave who cross this rain of spears have only one way to die. Of course, if you are willing to throw in the towel, you will survive, but the price will be to me. ”

This condition immediately made everyone talk.

This is a condition that even a fool can understand.

Crossing the rain of spears means that people are unwilling to surrender to themselves, and after seeing such a terrible ability, can people still overcome the fear in their hearts and move forward without fear of death?

There are only two answers.

But it is the best question to verify the warriors.

Everyone froze in place, and then looked at each other—

One after another, the enemies actually stepped forward.

Wu smiled in amazement and satisfaction.

"Hehehehehe, it can be described as the courage of a horseman."

A twitch of his index finger followed, followed by a series of terrible screams.

"Ah——————!h

Take control of several of the guns in the rain of guns, and brutally stab the enemy's flesh into a honeycomb as a target for arrows.

There are still two or three dying fish that have slipped through the net.

Wu didn't look twice, and manipulated more gun blades, which were inserted into his mouth with precision, throughout his entire body.

It looks like a roast suckling pig.

The silver-white gun forest was instantly stained with insignificant blood, just a few traces of a few people.

But it was enough to shock the hearts of nearly 100 people in the rear.

Wu shouted tentatively again—

"I'm not kidding, unless I can cross this gun forest directly, it's a dead end."

The crowd looked at each other again.

It's just that the eyes seem to be getting more and more determined.

More and more people are trying to use magic to destroy this gun forest or strengthen their flesh to cross this gun forest.

But in the end it failed.

More and more corpses were pierced in a forest of red and white guns.

From the original huge momentum of nearly 100 people, now under their fearless challenge, there are only about a dozen left.

Wu looked at the remaining few curiously.

"Don't you try?"

Obviously, the few who are left don't have the courage anymore. Even if there is still a fighting spirit at the beginning, it is also eroded.

The mountain of corpses in front of me is too terrifying.

"As I said, if you are willing to surrender to me, you will survive death. But doing nothing is not an option. ”

"Who the hell are you...... Why do this to us? ”

"How do you say that it looks like I killed these people with my own hands? These corpses died willingly. ”

"Why can you be so calm? You devil ......"

"Whatever you want to call it, if a few of you still stand still, even if you are willing to lose the game."

"Subjugation...... How do I show it to you? ”

One of them asked the enemy as he trembled.

"It's very simple, just declare that you are willing to defect to my side."

"In that case...... I'd love to! ”

As soon as these words came out, they were immediately treated with evil eyes by the others, even though the others were trembling all over.

It seems that they are all honest subordinates, but they are too afraid of death.

Wu smiled kindly at the enemy who had voluntarily defected.

Then open the way for him to his side - destroy the blades of the spear that stand in his way.

An empty avenue appeared.

It looks like a deliberate lure to lure.

The crisis of excessive brain supplementation made that person always stop.

Wu easily saw the enemy's thoughts.

"Don't worry! I'm a very trustworthy person, and besides, I don't need to go to great lengths to deal with your assassinations. ”

"Say...... That's right. ”

The enemy nodded tremblingly, carrying the long sword he was wearing, and walked slowly.

It's just a short passage, but it's as endless as walking through the whole plain.

Finally walked to Wu's side.

Wu didn't pay attention to the rebellious enemy.

Disguised as a kind look, he continued to torment the remaining enemies.

"Everyone, please make a decision as soon as possible."

However.

The eyes of the dozen enemies from before seemed to be mixed with smiles.

Seems to be laughing at himself.

Wu wanted to ask, but unexpectedly, the cold long sword was deeply inserted into his waist.

"Huh?"

When he turned his head, he saw that the owner of the long sword that attacked him was the enemy who had turned against him.

"Careless!"

The enemy gasped and taunted with nervous emotion.

But only for a few seconds.

Wu's face was surprisingly calm, not at all like the reaction of his waist being cut by a long sword.

The enemy panicked.

"I have to give you a compliment, you dare to sneak up on me in front of Kurt, I really look down on us."

"How...... How could it be!? ”

"I don't seem to have told you yet - no magic or physical attack can do me harm."

"What!? There is such a thing!? ”

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect you to be so untrustworthy. As punishment, I will kill all the survivors you are present, without giving you any time to beg for mercy. ”

After speaking, Wu lightly touched the enemy's neck—

"Do you want to see the spectacle of forcibly creating iron tools in the human body?"

"What's ...... What? ”

"Whether you want to see it or not, I'm curious, so please sacrifice it—'Ironclad'."
