Chapter 52: The Battle Royale is over
The tunnel behind her was collapsing rapidly, and Lan Yue's speed was getting faster and faster, and her face was now full of determination.
Ten seconds ago, the sound of the park sounded again, and Gao Lei also died one after another, and in less than a minute, two of the three team members who stayed outside the tunnel to cover died, and she could roughly guess what was happening outside.
Even if she knew that it would be a lifetime for her to go back, she still went without hesitation.
As long as Xiaoxue is not dead, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, she must rush back, at least, she has rescued a team member.
said before that she would take them out safely, she didn't completely lose her trust, she rescued the little fat man from Hanguang.
While running, the fire could already be seen in front of her, and when she arrived, the exit was in front of her, Lan Yue did not hesitate at all, the clods of earth surged under her feet, and a stone pillar rose from her feet, pushing her out of the tunnel.
Jumping out of the tunnel, as soon as his brain adapted to the sudden change in the environment, a brown and yellow giant bear flew in front of Lan Yue's eyes, the giant bear was covered with blood and gaps, and the two bear paws were gone, and the flesh and blood on the section were blurred.
"Xiaoxue!"
With an exclamation, Lan Yue's figure flickered, quickly approaching the giant bear that was about to land, and finally caught the giant bear with the upturned soil before it smashed to the ground, preventing the secondary damage from landing.
"Good, it's finally out."
A cold voice came from the front, Lan Yue looked up, and the voice was made by a strong figure holding Fang Tian's halberd, looking at them like cattle and sheep.
"Sure enough, it's you."
Lan Yue laughed miserably, when she saw this person in Kaidra Town, she vaguely felt that the two sides would face each other in the imperial capital, but she didn't expect that she would almost be wiped out in the hands of the other party, and the contractor of the entire outer city who was buried with her.
Xu Yue looked coldly at the one person and one bear in front of him, although the giant bear could be said to have rough skin and thick flesh, it would not drag him for so long.
He didn't kill it completely, just to wait for the earth mage in the tunnel to come out, and as for going deep underground to fight an earth mage, he wasn't arrogant enough to that extent.
Now that the other party has come out, he is not ready to waste any more time, the smoke and dust under his feet exploded, and Xu Yue turned into a silver shadow and rushed forward.
Facing Xu Yue who rushed towards her, Lan Yue first pierced the last green potion in the space into the heart of the giant bear, let the soil leave with the giant bear, and then held her hands on the earth and slammed it.
Suddenly, dense earth thorns rose from the ground, and while blocking Xu Yue's vision, the sharp tips of the earth thorns also pierced all over his body.
Xu Yue's sprinting footsteps did not stop at all, under the horizontal swing of Fang Tian's painting halberd, the thorns in front of him were all powder, and in the rolling dust, he broke through the fog, but what he saw was not the previous opponent, but a row of overwhelming waves of earth pressing down.
The earth wave touched the ground, and the entire courtyard trembled under this heavy pressure, and Xu Yue's figure disappeared after the big wave pressed down, leaving only a huge bulge in place.
There was a commotion among the members of the Order who were watching the battle from a distance, and several impatient knights had already grabbed their spears and were about to rush forward to relieve the siege, but they were stopped by the leading cavalry waving their hands.
"Just look at it, this little bit of a means can't help the Torch Chief, our mission is to prevent them from fleeing again."
Behind the dirt bag, Lan Yue's whole body was soaked, her eyes were bloodshot, and the move that sealed Xu Yue in one fell swoop just now had already made her mental power close to overdraft.
Enduring the sharp pain in her head, she gritted her teeth and prepared to launch the second stage of the skill, causing the earth bag to collapse to crush the existence of its internal seal, this trick was not something she could use at this stage, and the cost of forcibly using it could be as an idiot or brain death as a result, but in Lan Yue's opinion, it would not lose anything to use on the enemy opposite.
The pain in the brain became more and more intense, and the dirt bag in front of it had begun to collapse, but before the progress was halfway, an even more violent force burst out from the inside, and after a tremble, it was like an ammunition exploding inside the dirt bag, and the whole dirt bag exploded with a bang.
Xu Yue, who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, spit out a mouthful of blood, and looked at Lan Yue with a much more solemn look.
"That's a good move."
With the words, the halberd smashed down in the air, and at this time, Lan Yue, who was counterattacked by the skill, had lost all her perception of the outside world in pain, and was about to die on the spot.
At this time, a pair of furry flesh arms appeared, and the giant bear was half-kneeling on the ground, and Xu Yue's halberd was staggered with his arms emitting yellow light, and the crescent blade of the halberd head was deeply inserted into the flesh and blood, blocked by the arm bone.
Blood dripped on Lan Yue's head, which was still sluggish below, dyeing his black hair bloody, and the giant bear raised his gaze from Lan Yue, stared at Xu Yue's purple eyes, and said word by word:
"You! Stop! Think! ”
Xu Yue looked at the one person and one bear in front of him with a deep sisterhood expressionlessly, the halberd in his hand pulled back violently, the sharp crescent brought up a blood flower, and the giant bear snorted, her arms had been cut in half, and only a little flesh and skin were left.
Xu Yue pulled back the halberd, and after a moment of accumulation, the halberd stabbed out at a terrifying speed, the tip of the halberd pierced the air current, and let out a fierce roar, at such a close distance, the person and the bear in front of him didn't have time to react at all, and they were pierced through the chest by the halberd one after another.
The wet blood slid down the halberd shaft, smearing Xu Yue's silver palm with blood, and he drew the halberd, leaving two large holes in the chest of a person and a bear in front of him, Xu Yue could even see the opposite scene through this flesh passage.
Lan Yue, as a crispy skin, should have died the moment the halberd was inserted, but the turbid yellow aura from the giant bear behind her kept circulating in her chest, allowing her to maintain her life, but she was still stunned, her brain had been torn from the inside by the violent spiritual power.
At this time, the giant bear is already at the end of the strong crossbow, after consuming a lot of strength to protect Lan Yue, she now only has a little breath left, at the last moment of her life, she did not choose to continue to resist, but gently hugged the soft Lan Yue in front of her, after a few breaths, the giant bear died, and her huge body shrunk into a wheat-skinned girl, but her broken arms were still tightly hugging the tall woman in front of her.
When the giant bear was dying, Xu Yue did not choose to continue attacking, but just quietly watched her die, this is a strong-willed opponent who deserves his respect.
After the death of the giant bear, the yellow aura in Lan Yue's chest collapsed, and she quickly stepped into the footsteps, and when both of them died, Xu Yue turned around and left, and commanded the knight who followed the same path behind her:
"Cut off the heads of those three men and give them to Lord Beskode, and as for the tunnels, Elro, take a look."
"Yes."
The two were ordered, the knight leader led the men to rummage through the remains of the sniper in the ruins of the house, Ero walked to the cave and began to close his eyes to investigate, after a few breaths, Ero opened his eyes.
"Sir, the back of the tunnel has completely collapsed."
"Then forget it, just order someone to backfill it."
Xu Yue didn't care much about whether there were contractors in this tunnel to escape, and since he received this task, he didn't expect to be able to complete it 100%, there were too many strange characters among the contractors.
Just say that the druid who was just killed by him, if the animal she can transform into is not a large creature like a bear, but a cat, a dog, a snake and a rat, and then find a nest in a corner of the pimple by the way, then he has nothing to do, the magic of the sleeping temple does not work on animals, and it is impossible for him to spend manpower and material resources to catch cats and mice in the future.
After instructing the way to deal with the cave, Xu Yue looked at the sky and walked out of the courtyard with a halberd.
"Let's go, go on."
………
Two hours later, the sky was already glowing with light, and the long night was coming to an end.
The knights who were divided into three teams had already regathered behind Xu Yue, and with them, there were seven or eight guys who looked like civilians.
This group of people took the initiative to come to the door to surrender, because it was indeed meager in combat, and even the smell of blood on their bodies was lacking, coupled with the vow to meet the chief of the fire, Mandel hesitated for a moment to bring it back.
Now this group of people is offering things in front of Xu Yue and begging for mercy.
Xu Yue looked at the group of self-proclaimed workers in front of him, and his eyes swept straight over the various pieces of equipment and the shining golden paradise savings cards in their hands, without any fluctuations.
"Want to surrender?"
"Yes, General, we don't have any fighting power, we don't threaten, we just want to save our lives, and we are willing to pay any price, even if it's captivity for life."
An old man walked out of the workers, and bowed respectfully to Xu Yue, with sincere words and a flattering smile.
After listening to the old man's words, Xu Yue just swept his gray hair lightly, then turned his head and left, this group of workers is either old or young, and there is not even a strong body, it is too deliberate.
"Killed."
The cold announcement sounded, and Xu Yue's back was bloody.
'Paradise, submit the quest. ’
[Side Quest: Cleaning (94% completed)]
DIFFICULTY LEVEL: LV.5
Brief Description: On behalf of the Divine Paradise military, remove all dangers from the Imperial Capital before the arrival of the coalition forces.
Mission Information: Because of the private actions of some fools, the Empire's tense nerves due to the revival of the black dragon were completely stirred, and after the joint approval of the two forces of the Knights of the Guards and the Temple of Sleep, the imperial capital was sealed for three days, and all contractors who did not belong to the military and the church were strangled.
Mission duration: 3 calendar days
Task reward: Based on the final number of strangled contractors, the minimum task requirement is 60% of the number of all contractors in the imperial capital
Mission's Punishment: -80 Imperial Military Fame
[The task completion rate is 94%, which greatly exceeds the minimum task requirements, yes/no to complete the task]
Looking at the task completion rate in the paradise prompt, Xu Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, this completion rate has exceeded his expectations, as for the remaining 6%, he has already led the knights to plow the entire outer city three times, but still nothing.
He didn't feel that he could gain much from the remaining two days, and he had more worthwhile things to do than waste on this blind search.
The selection is complete, and the park prompt reappears.
[Rewards: Imperial Barony, One Treasure of the Imperial Capital Vault and the Temple Vault, 10,000 Meritorious Points]
……………
Imperial capital, Beth Kod Mansion.
After submitting the task, Xu Yue quickly dismissed Mandel and the others, and after letting them go back to rest.
He rushed to Bescord's mansion as soon as possible, and he didn't go to wash up except for a change of clothes along the way, and the strong smell of blood still overflowed from his body.
In the living room, Bescord sat on the main seat, and Xu Yue stood at the position of his right hand, respectfully touching his chest and saluting.
"Lord Bethcord, the mission is complete."
Bescord looked at Xu Yue, who was full of blood in front of him, and his hair was faintly dark red, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and the other party's gesture of inviting merit was too eager.
In addition to being amused, the previous hint of vigilance caused by Cook's reminder also inadvertently dissipated, he didn't care that his subordinates had ambitions and desires; This is not a bad thing, you have to ask for it to be better controlled.
"The Knight of the Flame has worked hard, I have learned everything from Cook about your performance this night, he is decisive in killing, brave and unparalleled, and he is indeed a rare good general in the Empire."
"Lord Beskod has won the award, do things for the imperial capital, and do your best."
Although Xu Yue was talking about the imperial capital, his eyes were staring straight at the man with long hair and shawl in front of him and dressed in black.
Noticing Xu Yue's eyes, Beskode's eyes moved slightly, and his gaze moved to the three human heads on the long table, and a trace of thought flashed through his mind.
Ruthless and efficient, it is a good knife.
The thoughts in his mind were surging, but his face was still silent, and he still maintained a gentle and smiling demeanor.
"The Knights of the Flame are loyal to the Empire, I believe in it, sit down, don't learn from that rigid guy from Cook, you are not in the army, you don't have to be so restrained."
Bescord first affirmed Xu Yue's words just now, and then pointed to the position on his right hand and motioned for him to sit down.
But after Xu Yue sat down, he took out a delicate small box and opened it, inside was a small gilded medallion with a relief of the Divine Heaven engraved on the front.
Bescord pushed the small box in front of Xu Yue and said apologetically.
"This is His Majesty's reward for this action, the Baron's Medal, there should have been a grand award ceremony, but because of the black dragon's matter, it had to be delayed, I hope the Flame Knight doesn't mind, this award ceremony will be re-held after the Black Dragon danger is over, and the 5,000 acres of baron's territory will also be issued later, rest assured, I will choose a relatively rich region for you."
Xu Yue hurriedly opened his mouth to thank him.
"Thank you, Lord Beskode, the main reason for this opportunity is to rely on the importance of adults."
Five thousand acres of territory, that is, 20 square kilometers in modern times, is equivalent to the area of a town, and such an exaggerated gift is nothing more than Cook and others are desperate for Bethcord, and such courage is indeed worth following.
As for Bethcord's suggestion that the title was a reward from His Majesty, it is enough to listen to it, and the king probably did not even know how many territories the baron would distribute.
After thanking him, Xu Yue took the medal with a restrained and excited look, and as soon as the medal arrived, the paradise prompt popped up.
【You have been awarded the Order of the Imperial Baron】
【Order of the Imperial Baron】
Origin: Dragon Valley, Sacred Paradise.
Quality: Blue
Type: Valuable
Rating: 34
Synopsis: A noble medal representing status and status, a rather rare valuable, which is a coveted treasure for commoners, and even professionals, it is a class leap that can be sold to Paradise for a large number of world sources.
Price: 15% Source of the World.
After reading the introduction of the medal, the joy in Xu Yue's eyes was obviously a little stronger, the territory was of no use to him, but the source of the world was a real benefit.
The source of the world of the derivative world is mainly concentrated in the important plot characters, or key world plots, which maintain the operation of the whole world.
Generally, a large number of World Sources can only be obtained by killing important plot characters and changing key plot points, but both of them are not small.
The strength or power of the important plot characters is not weak, which requires you to be strong enough, as for changing the key plot without authorization, it is even more dangerous, you can never know how much of a counterattack your small change will bring.
The most typical example, Lan Yue and the others intend to discover the monster's plan to invade the imperial capital in advance, so as to gain benefits from this plot event and enter the field of vision of the high-level leaders of the imperial capital.
But in the end, it caused a terrifying counterattack by the military to purge the entire imperial capital, which is the consequence of intervening in the plot without authorization, and even changing it, you can never guess where it will be a small act that causes a tsunami.
Therefore, among so many contractors in the imperial capital, there are very few who take the initiative to get around the protagonist group, because they don't want to die in vain.
Even with Xu Yue's strength, after approaching the protagonist group, he was careful not to change too much of the plot.
Therefore, since he entered the world, he has either killed monsters or contractors, and he has not obtained much of the source of the world, which is very tempting for him.
