Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
"Help, spare me, I'm the lord of the city, I'm a nobleman, you can't kill me, I can give you whatever you want, but please spare your life......
The hoarse and shrill roar echoed through the air, causing all eyes to converge in one direction for a moment - the spire of the main castle of the Camino City.
A few vague shadows appeared on the balcony there, but the tower was quite high, more than sixty feet above the ground, and in this night, only the elite of the knights could clearly distinguish those people.
Edward was probably the only one who could accurately identify those people. But the voice of the guy who was shouting was enough for the listeners to imagine what he looked like—a mixture of yelling and sobbing, and his shrill howl was like that of a dying pig: "Everyone, all the subjects of the Camino, all, all the soldiers, everyone, whoever it is, stop me...... I surrender, I surrender, lay down your arms, or I will die, don't fight again, or I will kill you! You have no regard for the life of an imperial nobleman! You ......."
"Shut up!" An indifferent voice interrupted the ghost's howling scream, with some metallic echoes under the expansion of the illusion, but still a little bit of feminine softness: "You can become a subject of the Tuminis Kingdom, then Your Excellency the Earl, please choose, do you want to get out of here alive, on top of the original title, one level higher, or live and die with this city?"
Is there any actual significance to the choice at this time?
"I ...... Ah, of course, of course, I'm going to live, I'm going to live. I ......"
"Read, okay, that, that me, Elstone? Cambrona...... to card. In the name of the Lord of the City of Camino, it is hereby declared that today is a special day that should be recorded in the annals of history forever...... Today, the city of Minoan will be freed from the rule of the evil empire and returned to the domination of the Kingdom of Tumenis, our supreme king, King Alpha de Strato Fernandis. Will lead our city-state towards a better tomorrow, long live the kingdom of Divine Tuminis, long live King Alpha de Strato, Long live King Fernandez......"
The voice stumbled for a few words, and finally became more fluent, but it began to lack a pause again. After a difficult turn, after a few heavy breaths, he spoke again: "As the city lord, I still want to tell everyone a piece of news." Yes, an exciting, excitedly ...... That, good news, that's the king of Tuminis, Al Xià, Alpha ......"
"His Majesty King Alpha de Strato Fernandis of Tuminis. Amnesty for all the subjects of the city of Camino as subjects of Tumenis. And give each person a reward of two gold coins as a consolation, and thank the Camino city guards for welcoming the merits of the king, and give each person a reward of five gold coins, if there are special contributors, another reward ranging from five to five thousand!
The indifferent voice interrupted the city lord's crying, obviously impatient with the coward's staccato tone, and the voice he shouted. It is tantamount to a thunderclap that explodes in everyone's heart: "The so-called special merit is to kill the enemy, not to obey the king, to be stubborn, to destroy secretly, and to be hostile to the king's master." All enemies!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole city shook.
Five gold coins?
The value of gold coins is supreme for ordinary people. One gold coin can be exchanged for one bushel of grain. Five is the income of a civilian family for almost half a year...... There may even be more, such a thing is tantamount to a pie falling from the sky, and the risk is completely borne by the city lord.
Or should there be a hero who raises his arms and shouts that the gringos are out?
If it is another plane that Edward is familiar with, or there are many people who fight for the rise and fall of the country and the nation, but in this era of closed news, how many of the commoners with low education standards have the concept of the state? The nobles may have some concept of the state, but they are more concerned about the family that is closely related to them, as for the commoners...... In the more contentious rural areas, there are often no large-scale battles, because when a lord comes here, it means only to change the banner of the ruler and change a few people to collect taxes.
Of course, this is also just a constraint.
"What's going on?"
The young knight leader's gaze did not leave the black run for a moment, but only raised his voice and asked.
And this seemingly abrupt question was answered by a real one—a flicker of light and shadow, and a knight pounced through the door of the flame-made structure, only to stumble and almost fall down. The armor on his chest was removed at some point, revealing a lined ring armor, and more than a dozen steel rings fell in the sound of friction, and the ground clanged.
"It's the mage, a few mages around the city lord, for some reason, they all rebelled together, cough cough, and sent a few enemies in. The knight breathed heavily, and the bleeding wound on his chest made his words difficult, but he still struggled to squeeze every word out of his throat: "There is one more enemy, at least a high-ranking knight, ahem, they ...... Several of our brothers who were responsible for the security of the city lord died...... Then the lord of the castle ......"
"Damn it!"
Even the Knight Commander, who had remained calm, cursed in a low voice, and then, narrowing his eyes, made a decision: "Leave that fool alone, kill him!
This decision is correct enough.
Just kill that guy and that's it. What a statement or anything like that is just a piece of paper, and the death of that traitor can really wake up the overwhelmed civilians, and even the death of the enemy in front of them, can force them to continue fighting.
But is it that easy?
"Oh, oops, this time, don't you have to play? ”
The Psychic Warlock sneered, "But it doesn't matter, that idiot can't command you." You just need to give an order, slaughter all the city guards, and then you can continue to fight, anyway, don't you have more than a thousand men, and dealing with 2,000 noble private soldiers is not a big deal, right? Don't worry, I will wait. ”
Mockery, but for the sake of ascertaining the facts...... If it weren't for the lack of manpower. I'm afraid that the Scarlet Knights have already started a city-wide clean-up campaign...... Or, as long as there are enough of them, the members of the withered white phoenix are enough, right? With their ability to create undead, the Empire can still take the absolute initiative.
Or should it be said that the balance of victory and defeat is gradually reversing in the direction of Edward.
But a qiē is nothing but an inevitability.
First of all, before the action begins, an hourglass preparation - in the form of television. Projecting his consciousness into the city and sending a few subordinates in advance, although the effective time of this spirit energy lasting ten minutes is very short, or it does not allow him to really do any damage to the city, it is not too easy to let Claudia blend into the central castle.
A castle. For a big knight, this is not a copper wall, just use a few domination techniques to control a few mages who are responsible for defense, plus the assistance of a Famini, under the premise of the chaos of the whole city, can easily control a problem in the city lord's mansion.
As for the fireworks throughout the city, it's even simpler. A few druids set the fire and manipulated the situation a little, which is very simple, as for Jabinas, Brock and those soldiers, their role is to attack and kill the elite, of course, this is just a backup method. He doesn't particularly want to move, if he can.
But what can be done, the way proposed by those few mages could have been somewhat successful, but what happened here or once again shows that it is impossible for any plan not to have problems. Even Edward's plan, for example, is now the biggest flaw. It was the arrival of these Scarlet and Withered Knights, and the timing was so coincidental that Edward didn't even get a notice in advance.
Fortunately, with his own ability. Now, it's kind of reluctantly dealt with in the past.
Just a little more delay.
"I confess that from the very beginning of the fight with you, I have already walked into a trap. The leader of the Scarlet Knight spoke, shaking his head with regret.
"Lord Edward, actually, everything is in your plan, isn't it?" Taking two steps back, the long sword in his hand drooped slightly, and then lifted his visor: "Very clever, use yourself as the most conspicuous to participate in the action, and use a big move to attract our attention, so that we think that your action this time is nothing more than that, so that you can have enough time to take down the entire city in one fell swoop." ”
"You can imagine as much as you want. But I'll tell you that you're just over-interpreting. ”
Whether it is excessive or not, the result of this qiē is enough to prove. The knight nodded slightly, apparently no longer ready to believe any of Edward's words: "The battle has reached this point, I have ......"
As soon as the words fell, the sword light flashed.
All of them widened their eyes at this moment, they were slightly relaxed in that small pause, but before they even reacted at all, they saw a line of red in their field of vision!
The bright blade in the hand of the Scarlet Knight moved forward, and a scorching breath spread out in all directions with his body as the center like an explosion, and he swung his sword, and the dark red light extended into a substantial sword blade, and the surrounding scenery was distorted at this moment, and then the surrounding qiē, the collapsing walls, the shattered debris, and even the people around him, all suddenly burst into a layer of red mist!
As soon as the fog swept away, the crunch of the crackling soil layer burst out, and the cracked stones on the ground rippled forward like soft jelly, covering a radius of nearly 100 feet in the blink of an eye. It's just that the color of the waves is a blood-like red!
Then there was a heat wave that came to the face, like boiling iron and molten gold!
And this qiē was born in the blink of an eye!
Edward had anticipated—
A streamer burst from the knight's armor, and between the golden and red flashes, there was a muffled bang. Immediately, a fine crack appeared in the air, and the crack was expanding further, and then splitting apart, but the green light also dissolved, and in the blink of an eye, it was already gone! It was only dim for a moment, and then it regained its brightness and blindness.
This attack of the Psychic Warlock stopped there, and only consumed a wall of mana.
Edward's brow furrowed.
I think it's true...... With the blow just now, in order to prevent the other party from having room to escape, he had already used the ability of a time plus. Dissociation is also a full output. However, the other party is not only powerful, the equipment is obviously also special, although the psionic dissociation technique is a kind of psionic energy, but in terms of causing destructive effects, there is not much difference between psionic energy and magic.
For example, dissociation can also be blocked by a shield with a relatively strong force field, and it can only be used to deplete the shield. Cannot deal due damage to enemies.
If the dissociation technique doesn't work, how can you deal with this knight?
It should be said that this is also one of the weaknesses of psionic energy...... In combat, especially in one-on-one lion combat, psionic power is extremely easy to gain the upper hand, it is stronger than offense, but difficult to defend. However, psionic energy is not as wide as magic, and there are many things that magic can do, and psionic energy is a little difficult to adapt to.
As a result, when facing an opponent of the rank of a great knight, Edward's attack method was somewhat lacking - the energy of the psionic energy system, it was difficult to inflict great damage on the enemy in a single blow. In fact, for Edward today, the only thing that can rely on hurting the enemy is dissociation, but I didn't expect that this guy's armor actually has special protection against this power.
There's no way to start biting a rat turtle......
And. Another weakness of psionic energy has also begun to emerge - from the beginning of the battle to the present, Edward's psionic points have been consumed a lot. The remaining points of the two consciousnesses are now only close to a hundred...... He could also kill the young Knight Master with a saturation attack, but in that case, he would have to rely on the amount of storage in his Vision.
In such an environment surrounded by enemies, such an all-or-nothing bet is not a good choice.
There is no point in struggling, it is just a waste of life, so we will withdraw from this city, and you will be the victor in this battle. ”
"It's amazing. ”
The flaming blade slashed at the mage's waist, but instead of the imaginary scene of splitting in two, there was a piercing metal grinding, the snap of his hand almost shaking his weapon.
Then, in the next moment, the Mithril staff had a sharp blade at the end, like a sword piercing from under the knight's left rib, from between the third rib behind his back. Then he pulled it out, and there was not a trace of blood on the cold blade, but the life of the scarlet knight had already spurted with a large stream of blood, and he fell to the ground weakly, his eyes wide, as if he was still questioning what was happening in front of him.
Unfortunately, even the lowliest-level Celdron of Chaturani, the outer armor of the soldier's pawn, was forged from steel mixed with a certain percentage of Mithril, and the invincible flame of the Scarlet Knights had no effect in front of them. The steel sword was even more meaningless than the curling blade, and even the slightest damage that had been caused by a few magic weapons was healed by the heat of the flames after a few rounds.
The swords in the hands of the soldier golems are extremely efficient, every time they wield, they will inevitably take away one or even several lives, and the power of the magic condensation is almost comparable to that of the demonic beasts, and wielding magic is by no means a human armor, it can be matched
