The voice was peaceful, gentle, and though a little surprised, but polite, so out of place on the battlefield, more like a nobleman with a female companion going to balls and feasts lamenting some news—or maybe it was this kind of inconsistency, like ice seeping into the minds of everyone around them, making them reflexively turn around!
Although there were already some signs of defeat, whether it was Scarlet Yan or the withered white phoenix, they were all on the utmost vigilance, how could they possibly let a Tumenese sneak into the vicinity?
But here he is. ≥
Standing at Sukhoi's side, there was only one sword position away from him - in the warrior's cognition, this is the distance at which the sword can be drawn and the blade can be stabbed into the opponent's body with the strongest force! Therefore, as long as it is a warrior, knight, swordsman, or a squire who uses a weapon, even if it is just a beginner apprentice, if an existing person suddenly appears at this distance, he will also feel a strong uneasiness, and the most subconscious reaction is to draw his sword to meet him!
Sukhoi, however, did not draw his sword.
Or maybe it was because the man had no intention of attacking him, and although he had a thin sword hanging at his side, he was not wearing armor, and his black aristocratic coat was spotless, so out of place in this battlefield filled with smoke and ashes. And he stood there, his movements were natural, his expression was friendly, as if he was talking to someone he was familiar with. Discussing the changes in this war...... Even the moment she saw him, Nicole, who was standing on the side, subconsciously felt a good feeling in her heart. It's not a wariness at all.
But this man is just too dangerous.
It's not a gut feeling.
If it's a matter of intuition, she. And every one of them might even have a good opinion of this man—the thought that came to the horsewoman's mind, the judgment of her wariness and thought in the blink of an eye. In any case, this black-clad character, who is incompatible with the battlefield like an elegant aristocrat, has a strange horror.
"Ah, it's down...... However, it really didn't work. ”
A waterfall has gushed out of the crack in the sky.
The hustle and bustle of the battlefield suddenly fell completely silent at this moment.
Everyone...... Those who are running away, who are moaning. Hopelessly trembling, huddled in the pit...... At the same time, he turned his gaze and gazed at the indescribable miracle of heaven and earth—bright red, pouring down from the sky, galloping and expanding, rumbling like thunder! In the blink of an eye, it had fallen two or three thousand feet, and the whole sky was rendered a blood-like color by the blinding red light!
It was a waterfall of magma, a river of magma, a sea of magma. The condensation of light and heat, created by magic, the power of nature...... If you fall into it, either human. Metals or rocks can only be abled, right?
Or, in this moment. This is the kind of inference that flashes through everyone's mind.
However. Thousands of inferences, but there is no waiting for the corresponding results.
Waterfalls. Deflected......
Like the first drop, the gushing red moved lightly over the city, an invisible force that changed the trajectory of the fluid...... The brilliant red, like the slanted strokes of a naughty boy, swayed downward, striking the ground with a loud shock and smoke mixed with dust, with the power to destroy a qiē, spreading towards the surrounding red-black hills that gradually faded. The terrifying heat immediately ignited the surrounding Qiē, and the brunt of it was the community of mutant orcs that was close at hand!
The city walls are finally really burning.
The flesh and blood had been evaporated and carbonized in an instant under the high temperature, and became the best fuel, even the powerful mutants could not resist this fierce burning, countless mutant orcs climbed and jumped on the walls, but they could not extinguish the fire rising behind them, and most of the people who approached the lava immediately twitched and turned into a little light flame, and then charred black and scattered.
"Although it is true that Edward is not here, there is an Aron in this city, and these soldiers of yours can't really capture him at all...... However, I didn't expect this place to be so completely fortified, and I really underestimated Edward's men. ”
The sound of magma crashing against the ground, the sound of gushing currents, the sound of burning flames, the sound of monsters screaming, the cries of soldiers waking up from their dreams, the sound of the remaining gargoyles falling from the sky...... Countless voices filled the battlefield as if the floodgates had been reopened, but on that small high ground there was only the voice of the man, who looked at the terrible torrent that was piling up under the walls, and then sighed.
He mentioned the name.
The atmosphere that was originally peaceful was immediately tightened.
"Ah, don't be so nervous, actually, Lord Sukhoi, Lord Lansfil, I'm just here to hold you both down for a while. The man dressed in black raised his gaze and smiled as if he had said something wrong: "Moreover, it seems that you are not fit to fight anymore, if necessary, I will advise you to take those soldiers and"
The people standing here are more than a dozen elites of the Crimson Knights, and a little farther away, there are several knights of the withered white phoenix, and more than a dozen warlocks...... So, his words seemed to be ridiculous - to drag down the two imperial electors, this kind of thing, how many people in the entire big 6 can do it?
Probably there will never be ten ...... But he was clearly not exaggerating.
Nicole lifted her gaze and met the man's gaze - he had a pair of clear, bright, dark eyes, as deep as two pools of water, but when they met them, Nicole suddenly shuddered...... Because she could clearly see two mirror-like silver brilliance in those black eyes, this brilliance made her suddenly think of something subconsciously.
He really has that kind of strength. And there's that determination.
No one here could stop him from doing so if he wanted to.
"Who is Your Excellency, and what do you want to do?"
Sukhoi spoke.
His voice was soft. Looking at the man's eyes, there seemed to be some mildness, and his body stood up straight. The hands are hanging down, as if the whole person is relaxed...... Communicate with that person calmly. It's like two familiar people.
But Nicole, who was standing beside him, suddenly sobered up.
The purpose, momentum, and words of the man dressed in black all quietly disappeared because of these words.
The knight frowned and set her gaze on her companion.
When that strange pressure dissipated, she keenly felt that Sukhoi was tense-
It's not the muscles, but all the spirits are completely focused on each other...... This slightly relaxed physical condition can make his next moves burst with the greatest force - a skill that only a battle-hardened warrior can control. As someone who had been trained with him as a knight, Nicole had only seen such a skill in their knight mentors. That kind of total relaxation. The power that can be exuded in a complete explosion is unimaginable to ordinary people. As the mentor of the High Knight, he can slash a tower a hundred feet away in front of him with a sword in such a situation, and he once said that this technique has implied a certain regular trajectory.
But for the first time in real combat, a female knight had seen someone use this technique - it was a paradoxical move to relax her whole body in the face of a dangerous opponent. Even a mentor who has inherited this technique can't really apply it in battle.
"Very strong...... Worthy of being a rising star of the empire. ”
The man in black said.
His eyes narrowed slightly, but his words were still as gentle as if he were talking to a close friend:
"If it weren't for you. I'm not actually going to do that, Alexander...... Hah, this person. In fact, it is very similar to the story of the failed man and the successful man told by Edward, who commented on his opponent...... Well. Ambition is big and wisdom is small, lust is strong and timid. Jealous and less powerful, more soldiers and unclear divisions, arrogant and inconsistent government orders, although the land is wide, although the grain is abundant, it is enough for me to serve. ”
This sentence is very sudden, lacks a lot of premise, and talks to itself. And, at the very end, it suddenly became a very strange language...... It was a language that no one had ever heard before, and each sound was so unique that it even had to follow a certain rhythm, and the unfamiliar sounds came together to form a confident, moving rhythm.
The man in black whispered:
"Interestingly, Edward said, it is an ancient language, which means: this man is ambitious but lacks wisdom, fierce on the surface but timid and fearful, taboo of others' ability, and has no majesty to command others, lack of clear organization of the army, and arrogant generals without unified command, so the land is vast, and there is a lot of food, but it is all for me. ”
"You seem to know Edward well, don't you?"
"Probably, no one knows him better than I am, except for himself. The man in black chuckled lightly, shook his head, glanced at Lansfil in the sky, who had just spoken, and then turned to Sukhoi: "That's all for this gossip...... Let's talk about your prince. Have you really decided to follow him, and what do you think the future holds for him?"
Sukhoi did not speak.
His aura gathered tightly, but there was not the slightest gap in that person's body, even if he stood where the sword could touch, as if with a wave of his hand, his head could fall to the ground, but Sukhoi could not move, and could only listen to him continue to speak:
"He thinks he's smart, but he trusts a stupid guy and lets him mess around, and it's not easy to build several portals overnight, right? Besides, just to attack a city...... That's not good, so I'm going to do you a favor and make these portals more valuable. ”
Softly, his words were still so incoherent, but at this moment, everyone had already thought of his purpose-
Portals are different from teleportation, and although they are very convenient and have no limit on the number of people who can use them, they are not able to distinguish anything...... Except for the effect of shortening the distance, it is a door. If one door is opened, you can enter, and naturally you can go out - if these three portals are used in turn, to transport troops to the territory of the new empire. So will the new empire be able to resist?
No, almost half of the troops have been drawn to the city. And after the loss, the question for the new empire to consider is not whether it can resist or not. Rather, how long can it resist?
Nicole subconsciously turned her gaze.
But almost nothing is clear here...... When the magma hit the ground, the rumbling roar resounded on the battlefield again, and countless routs had already rushed through that section of 'hell' at this moment, and began to flee in the direction of the camp in a chaotic manner, the dust and smoke everywhere were stirred by them, even if the female knight was already on high ground at the moment, the camp of the empire was still covered by the smoke and figures. In the dimness, only the light of the fire in the camp could be seen.
Luckily, it's still too late.
As long as Sukhoi's mind turns, he can give an order to let all the Scarlet Knights be ordered to return to defense! Although the Scarlet Knights alone may not be able to stop the other party's plan, they can still destroy those portals first!
"Interesting plan, but maybe just three portals to teleport troops?"
Lansfil said.
Lady Warlock slowly descended from the sky, her movements seemingly rather slow. The tip of a magic staff in his hand shimmered with a turquoise luster, and the energy of the magic net stirred slightly, causing the surrounding air to tremble. Scraping everyone's skin, it hurts.
"Ambitious but lacking in wisdom, fierce on the surface but timid and fearful, taboo for others to be capable. He does not have the majesty to command others...... That's a good point, it's actually quite true. However, it seems that every emperor is like this...... And you take these judgments. Speaking it as Edward, and using a very strange language, deliberately appearing to be very inscrutable, we will listen very carefully, and then think about it...... It will be difficult to notice that you are trying to alienate us from our loyalty to His Highness Alexander. Then, you might choose a time to say who you are, so that we can completely focus our attention elsewhere, won't you?"
Her voice was still so full of temptation, even if the staff in her hand was shining, it was still sweet and reminiscent of a bed, but the meaning of these words was enough to surprise people.
"Well said and wonderful, Lord Lansfeld. The man in black looked at her and did not hide his affection.
In fact, even Sukhoi and Nicole were equally amazed - Lancefil was in their impression of a noisy, selfish, eccentric, pampered aristocratic woman, a troublesome figure who was always a source of headaches, and they almost completely did not expect that she would have such a rational side.
No, it should be said, she has always had a cunning side as a spellcaster, but she has been deliberately hiding it under those arrogance and eccentricity.
"Of course, it's not just that, you're actually someone like Edward, right?"
Lancefield's gaze wandered, and he chuckled, but he still said something amazing:
"You're all using abilities that are different from magic, and the power called 'psychic abilities' is something that has been passed down from the psionic monsters. And from the very beginning, you have been using this power to guide our thoughts...... Let us identify with you, do your bidding, and ignore the most important things. Even if you do grab the portal, how much power can you have to defend it? Just two legions of the Electors of the Emperor are enough to disrupt all your plans, not to mention, even if you capture Shandria now, can you defend it against the Empire's counterattack in the future?"
"Can't I?" the man in black was noncommittal.
"Your strength can indeed hold us both back. Lancefield, around her, a dozen withering warlocks had fallen from the sky, and a strange rustling sound was also concentrated with their movements, it was the sound of hundreds of corpses moving, even on the battlefield where the roar was still ringing, it was clearly audible.
"Even I assume that you will be fine with defeating us, but you can't let our men go back to the camp...... Because the men you brought with you haven't accomplished your goal, you need to make sure we can't go back...... The best way to do that is to destroy those portals, knowing that we can give orders to our subordinates whenever and wherever we want. ”
"Kind of right. But that's not all. ”
"Of course, you're still using this to test our attitude, how much loyalty you have to His Majesty Alexander, and if you can, you hope to weaken it. Allows us to make other choices. Lancefield sighed, "I would have agreed with you, Alexander's fool is indeed arrogant, stupid, and jealous...... It's a pity that you said a little too much, you must know that there are not many people who can say things like 'that's all for me' on the big 6. ”
This kind of thing is not something that an ordinary person can say.
Although the new empire is only one-third the size of the original empire, it is still a country...... 'prepare for me', and it is not as simple as one nobleman seeking the property of another nobleman......
Only the same identity can say such things......
Laugh at!
A brief whistling sound suddenly sounded, interrupting everyone's words, thoughts, all ......
The sorceress's words were amazing enough to grab everyone's attention...... It's just that this voice is even more violent! Hearing this voice, they almost have the illusion that they are being torn apart, so they all turn their heads to look at it out of their knee-jerk reactions.
