Chapter 419: Pride and Humility
The Marquis of Andrea has always been a very realistic person.
Living in such a world, valuing reality is not a bad thing.
The ultimate pragmatist, on the contrary, can live better.
What's more, the Marquis of Andrea is not just carrying himself, but the Ferre family and the entire Atax Log.
Every step of the way is like walking on thin ice.
In just a few Naroa days, his temperament has changed dramatically.
Probably the biggest change is that he has changed from arrogance to humility.
After this demonic plague broke out, he saw the hole cards hidden in Magdam City.
Those earth-shattering explosions are absolutely unforgettable.
Later, the Marquis of Andrea met the mighty Winged Giant.
As the finale of Logne, the Shining Stone-level powerhouse Hermes Barber, plus the two Seventh Order twin brothers, the Grand Magus, were powerless in the face of the Winged Giant.
The mighty giant, even the whole time, was pushing against their attacks.
No, you can't use topping, you should ignore it.
Winged Giant Abyss ignored their attacks.
Whether inside or outside the city, all the attacks didn't seem to move it.
Even if the occasional attack breaks through the defense, that's all there is to it.
The Terrible Damned One does not use these external factors to change his goals.
How terrible, how terrifying.
Every time I think about it, the Marquis of Andrea will be unable to sleep at night, tossing and turning.
The more calm the Winged Giant Abyss became, the more terrifying it seemed to him.
It was an irresistible fear.
It was this fear, combined with the many shocks that had preceded him, that changed his temperament.
In many cases, the transformation of pride and humility is often just a thought.
The biggest change was that he began to adjust his zone strategy.
Instead of deliberately deploying the support team to the outer defense area, it is relatively fair to adjust the team according to the number of monsters faced and the amount of pressure on the defense.
But the vanishing garrison of Magdam and the Winged Giants still stuck in his throat.
I don't feel comfortable all over.
For several Naroya days in a row, his mental condition was not very good.
At this time, Marquis Andrea was talking with two Silver Moon-level powerhouses in the secret meeting room in the town hall, discussing the strategy for the near future.
Because of the disappearance of the Chaos Wing Giant, the kingdom originally transferred two Dark Sun-level powerhouses and two eighth-order super mages, which left the current Ataxs Log with only two Silver Moon-level powerhouses to sit in the finale.
This is still based on the "heroic" sacrifice of the original town guard Hermes Barber, and the emptiness of Atax Log's high-level combat power to let them stay.
Silver Moon level is an eighth-order powerhouse in the vein of magic element cultivation.
No matter where it is placed, it is a scarce strategic master, enough to change the situation in a certain region.
Even if the Damned One goes and returns, he reappears in Atax Log.
The two Silver Moon level powerhouses, combined with more precious materials and strengthened defensive magic arrays that were urgently delivered through the kingdom, were also enough to resist.
The Silver Moon level and the Yaoshi level seem to be only one order apart.
But in reality, the difference in strength between the two is huge.
Yaoshi is still not out of the ordinary, and Yinyue is the protector of the heavens.
Once you reach the Silver Moon level, you can mobilize the Moonlight.
Let the magic element in the body echo with the silver moon, so as to exert great power.
The difference between the two is not insignificant.
The number of monsters on the periphery has proliferated, and the next cycle of the Void Passage has not yet arrived.
The reason for this anomaly was attributed to the disappearance of the Winged Giant.
The Demon Sea tactics still threaten the safety of the entire Atax Rog.
Although the Silver Moon level demon powerhouse is strong, it is also wishful thinking to kill tens of millions of monsters by himself.
After all, a magic cultivator does not have a wide range of AOE output capabilities like spellcasters.
It's not like the Winged Giant Abyss, which has a huge body of thousands of meters.
It's okay to fight alone, but the large-scale battlefield still depends on the overall defense of Atax Log.
Of course, there are two Silver Moon-level powerhouses as the finale.
If Marquis Andrea's style is more aggressive, then he can launch surprise attacks and decapitation tactics, take the initiative to attack and kill high-level town monsters, and even take down the demon general Blasphemous Ogga.
The premise is that the guy is no longer hiding behind a turtle shell made of various rituals.
After all, the current situation is that monsters surround Atax Log.
Instead of two sides fighting a frontal positional battle.
In addition, the Marquis de Andrea himself has recently become much more conservative.
If he were replaced by him, I was afraid that it would have already swelled without bounds.
Now he is extremely humble.
But everything is too much.
Too much humility and too much arrogance are two extremes.
If you can't balance it, everything will be back to square one.
It's a simple truth.
At this moment, Marquis Andrea was in the meeting room discussing the follow-up defensive strategy of Atax Logg with the two Silver Moon level powerhouses.
"Dear Radiard Kitt and Agulola Moriarty."
"I wonder if the two of you have any instructions for Atax Log's defensive strategy in the near future?"
He asked very politely.
Across the large reception table, sitting across from him were two Silver Moon-level powerhouses, a man and a woman.
They all wore light kaftan and looked very modest.
It's like a simple and loose sweatshirt in the blue star.
This is an interracial couple, even when sitting in a chair, they don't forget to hold hands.
The man's name is Radiyad Kitt pure-blooded human, and his eyes, hair, and skin color are all consistent with the characteristics of the native Terrans of Duroa.
With a well-trimmed hoop mustache, most of the time the corners of his mouth are hooked, and he maintains a polite and gentle smile, and he doesn't look like the kind of guy with eyes above the top.
At least much better than the arrogant Hermes Barber.
Everyone's temperament is different.
In addition to being related to one's personality, it is also inseparable from one's growth experience and aspirations.
Because the nature of the mind is a broad indicator.
Whether it is the strong who achieves the heart or the heart that makes the strong has not yet been determined.
The Silver Moon couple in front of them looked very gentle.
The woman was a half-elf named Agulola Moriarty, with a slender nose, long pointed ears, silky blonde hair like a waterfall, and eyes as sharp as eagles.
The two of them look young, and they can't see many traces of age that have passed.
Hear the words of the Marquis of Andrea.
Radiad Kitt smiled slightly and replied gently and politely: "Under the framework of the laws of the kingdom, we will be at the behest of His Excellency the Marquis, so you don't need to ask for our opinion. β
He doesn't have any shelves, or he doesn't care about this kind of superficial work.
There was a slight pause.
"Andβ" Radiad Kitt's expression became a little more serious, "you don't have to blame yourself for the appearance of the Damned, at least Atax Rog hasn't fallen first. β
His words were both a consolation and a reminder to the Marquis of Andrea not to shirk his duties.
Yes, the Marquis of Andrea got nothing but false humility.
Essentially, he just had the idea of running away because of fear.
In fact, what he did was not bad.
Just when the Marquis of Andrea was thinking.
Agulola Moriarty, who had not spoken, also suddenly spoke.
"As a ruler, you have to be firm enough."
"Any order must be resolute and efficient."
"Think of us as two swords in Atax Log's hand."
"We also believe in the abilities of His Excellency the Marquis."
"There's no point in asking us for advice, because I'm new to Radiad."
"Even if the relevant information is urgently supplemented, the understanding of Ataxlog is still not deep."
"What you have to do now is to let go of the fears in your heart and deploy your troops like a competent Logue ruler."
Agulola Moriarty's voice is as clear as a oriole and has an intellectual charm.
At this time, she is like a kind teacher.
In terms of strength alone, Marquis Andrea couldn't beat it.
But when it comes to administrative status, the two still have to be under Andrea's command.
Of course, they also have a lot of autonomy and can veto any assigned task.
The kingdom law has clearly defined the relevant strong supporters, and has long formed a mature system.
The two didn't want to overstep their bounds.
Because this is not the optimal solution.
On this premise, they chose to enlighten the Marquis of Andrea.
The two have seen many people like him who have symptoms similar to "post-traumatic stress disorder."
Due to the cyclical nature of past calamities.
Today's rulers are a new generation on the rise.
There has been no brutal war.
And like a long-lived Silver Moon-level powerhouse, let alone this demonic disaster.
Even the last demon disaster was witnessed by both of them.
Whether it is knowledge, temperament or strength, the gap between the two sides is very large.
According to the optimal arrangement, they chose to enlighten rather than take over command.
The experience of history has taught them that this is meaningless.
"I... I see! Marquis Andrea thought as his eyes narrowed and then firmed.
Immediately got up vigorously.
"Then after half a water hour, please come to the city hall to participate in the arming meeting!"
"Maybe we should be more proactive..."
The two nodded in satisfaction at Marquis Andrea's quick comprehension.
β¦β¦
Blue Star.
Cornton, District of Columbia, America.
Chen Xuan had already changed his appearance, turning into a handsome young man with a pale complexion and a gloomy expression.
Dressed in designer short-sleeved shirts and long trousers, he was sitting in a luxurious gentleman's club near the city center.
It's a club, but it's actually a big bar.
In the middle is the pole stage, but there is no such fun to find during the day.
But there are still many girls in three-point styles wandering.
They licked their red lips, looked for suitable targets, and then stepped forward to take the initiative to tease and ask if they needed a one-man stage.
The so-called solo stage is a 1-on-1 toyi dance.
The project is more glamorous, but does not involve formal apricot behavior.
It is worth mentioning that this kind of side-rubbing is legal in most parts of America.
But it's not absolute, and some religiously strict states don't allow it to be played.
There are more than fifty states in America, and each law is different.
There are even states that allow consanguineous marriages.
There are plenty of dance clubs in urban areas throughout America.
Most dance clubs have dark stages and loud music.
And there are many kinds of music.
Hip-hop, salsa, pop or rock.
Some dance clubs have many tiers.
Different areas may play different music.
Most dance clubs have an entrance fee.
There may be VIP entrances that skip the long queues.
Upon entering the venue, some dance clubs may stamp their hands with invisible purple light ink.
Some clubs have a suitable atmosphere for teenagers and college students.
Some may be more suitable for adults, such as the club that Chen Xuan is currently in.
Other clubs offer dinner and some entertainment.
In addition to this, most dance clubs have a dress code, such as shoes, shirts and trousers that are not jeans to enter.
The one he came to is one of the well-known and serviceable ones in Peanutton.
There are five floors, and the entrance fee for the lower three floors ranges from $100 to $2,000.
The upper three layers are the membership system, which is divided into two ways: invitation and active application, no matter which one has a high threshold, and relevant asset certificates are required.
Generally speaking, the middle layer is able to withstand the pastime of the lower three floors.
The services of the upper two floors are generally not blessed by the middle level.
I've heard that there are often a lot of tricks, and there are super blonde big waves.
Although it is not as small as the small island of those top consortium bosses, it is also an excellent pastime for the rich.
Chen Xuan sat on the third floor, and the quality of the warbler Yanyan wandering around was already very high.
In addition to those bikini-wearing babes, there are many big white chicks in different outfits.
There are all kinds of fat in the swallow thin ring.
OL suits, sailor skirts, unmarked tight suits, bunny girls, doctors, you name it.
Although nothing is allowed to happen directly within the club.
But leaving the club is another story.
From the beginning to the present, there are several blonde babes who have come up to take the initiative to flirt.
Chen Xuan picked a few girls who met his aesthetics and left contact information, ready to talk about it later.
Wouldn't it be a pity not to ride a big white horse when they all came to America?
Anyway, he barely ran out of the big knife music in his storage compartment.
Even if you take it and scatter it, you have to sprinkle it for a while.
If you can't spend it, you can't spend it at all.
Chen Xuan's mood was relaxed, and he sat quietly by the bar, looking different from the men around him who were looking for fun.
The bartender was a young girl with a few freckles on her cheeks.
The buttons of the white bartender's uniform were almost bursting.
was shaking the special cocktail for Chen Xuan.
The undulating waves give the illusion of coming to the sea.
Chen Xuan's attention was not on this at all, but stared intently at the TV program.
The news was being broadcast above, and the picture was the scene of his previous car crashing into the roadblock.
The fire there has already been extinguished by firefighters.
The blackened frame scorched the nearby pavement.
