53: Hero vs. Hero

A seemingly impregnable city collapsed from the inside more smoothly than expected.

Reiner has been lurking in the army for too long, he has lived in Linfeng City for more than ten years since he was a child, and he has already completely integrated into this place and gained the trust of those around him.

Especially for the regiment commander Marko, who had groomed Reiner as his successor a few years ago.

Therefore, even during the war, he still gave him the greatest trust.

After all, if you deny Reiner's loyalty, it is equivalent to denying your own vision of seeing people.

Unless the evidence is conclusive, no one wants to easily admit that they have lost their eyes.

And it was by taking advantage of Marko's trust in him and his position in the legion that Reiner successfully plotted against the only two seventh-order knights of the Linfeng Legion, and now on the city wall, no one could stop him from destroying the city's defense weapons.

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

"Boom-"

With Reiner's assistance, the steppe people in the army detonated the five city defense magic cannons on the enemy platform one by one, and the defenders on the city wall fell into chaos in the sound of explosions one after another.

There are a total of three generals of the Linfeng Legion, and now two are missing, one is suspected of mutiny, and the steppe army has come to the city.

In such a desperate scene, who is not panicked?

At this moment, a melodious horn whistle sounded among the steppe troops outside the city.

This was a signal that the troops were about to attack.

According to the original plan, after completing the task of destroying the weapons of the city defense, Reiner will open the city gates to join the steppe forces.

The steppe troops will swarm in from the gates of the wall, which are virtually useless, and completely occupy the city of Linfeng.

However, it was not only the steppe people who noticed that something was happening on the city wall, at this time several knight teams were starting from the upper city and coming straight to the city wall.

Among them, the leader of the Knights squad is none other than the Knights' Leader, Ryan.

"The Knights are coming!"

Observing the movement of the knights from the city wall, the inner responders under Reiner hurriedly said, "Young master, let's withdraw, it's still too late to leave!" ”

"It's coming faster than I thought."

Reiner glanced under the walls and said, "You go and open the gates first, and I will join you when I break the barrier." ”

The barrier mechanism refers to the sixth-order magic circle "Sacred Barrier" hidden within the city walls.

Once even it is destroyed, the Linfeng City Wall will lose its last line of protection and be naked to the enemy.

Under the destruction of spells and physical attacks, there is even the possibility of damage and collapse!

Therefore, in order to ensure that his army can break through the city, he intends to destroy the barrier mechanism as well.

Unlike the Magic Cannon, the Sacred Barrier is a fortified city, and its control room is guarded by Legion Commander Marko's troops.

Therefore, he had no way to set up a mechanism to blow it up in advance, and could only forcibly break through after finishing out the other powerhouses in the legion.

"Young master, it's too late!" The subordinate said, "If you don't move your body, you won't be able to leave!" ”

"No, my mission isn't done yet." Reiner shook his head, and turned towards the control room of the barrier mechanism.

"If I don't come back, don't wait for me."

He is the first son of the Heavenly Father, and the elder brother of Su Yi, the current young master of the grasslands.

More than ten years ago, in order to help the clansmen fulfill their long-cherished wish to recover the grassland, the young man gave up his identity as a young master under the instructions of his father and sneaked into Linfeng City to start a long period of internal life.

He had no complaints about this, because he believed that it was the best choice for his people.

Because, my father said this to him-

"Although you can't be the young master and the next Heavenly Father of the Lebuse clan, you can become the hero of the Lebuse clan."

So, for this sentence, for this day, he lurked in Linfeng City for more than ten years.

He would rather betray all the people in the city who believed in him, and even give up his own life, and destroy all the weapons defending the city today.

Now, it's time for him to become a hero!

The control room of the barrier mechanism was at the other end of the city wall, dozens of meters away, and just as Reiner rushed to that side, a cyan wind blade suddenly fell from the sky.

The men of the Order have arrived? He was slightly startled in his heart, dodged the wind blade, and looked up.

In the glare of the sun, a figure swooped down from the sky, and the iconic raven mask on its face prominently announced the identity of the visitor.

"White Raven ......!" Reiner's footsteps paused slightly, and his expression was a little incredulous.

He remembered that the White Raven should have left with the Knights' army in the morning!

Didn't they go to attack the stronghold of Linfeng Hill, which was nearly two hundred kilometers away, and why did they come back after only four hours of departure?

Although the defenders of the Linfeng Hills have been transferred, in order to confuse the Knights, the stronghold of Occult Moon Village is still defended by people.

It stands to reason that the Knights should have known that they had been tricked when they arrived at the stronghold of the Peak Hills in the evening.

When he came back by then, Linfeng City had already been captured by the Prairie army.

Things should have developed like this, but why did the white crow appear in front of him now!

"It's a white raven!"

"The White Raven is here!"

The chaotic defenders on the city wall were all shocked when they saw the help coming from the sky.

After so many battles, the legend of the White Raven's invincibility is already well-known in the army, and she can always lead the army to victory every time she appears, just like the superhero who saved Peak City.

Can she lead us to victory, even in such a critical moment?

"Fuck you, I personally repaired five city defense guns!"

Seeing the scene on the city wall through Yuna's first perspective, Nolan couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "When I first saw him, I didn't think this thing was a good person, and I was right."

"Yuna, is there a way to hold him back?"

"Hmm!"

Yuna stared at Ryan below, then took out a tube of liberation potion from her bosom, slightly lifted the corner of the mask, and drank the dark purple liquid in it.

Her instincts told her that this was the most formidable foe she had ever seen.

However, she didn't need to defeat him, she had just swooped down and saw that Captain Ryan had already led the Knights squad to the city walls.

As long as I can drag on here for another ten seconds...... No, maybe it would only take eight seconds for Ryan to arrive at the scene to subdue Reiner.

That's right, it only takes less than ten seconds!

Yuna took a deep breath, and a blood-red glow crept from the depths of her azure eyes under the mask.

Reiner didn't want to get into trouble with the white raven, he had more important things to do, and with a kick on his feet, he hurried towards the control room not far away.

Yuna naturally wouldn't do what he wanted, the four acceleration circles were fully opened, and the speed of the explosion was especially great, directly intercepting his inevitable path, raising his hand and raising the magic guide gun towards him, a circle of fiery red magic circles quickly formed-

Fifth-Order Fire Spell: "Concentrated Flame Blast".

With such a powerful fire-type spell, even he didn't dare to resist it, and hurriedly jumped backwards, which was able to dodge the explosion range of the Gathering Energy Flame.

In terms of the reaction speed of the seventh-order knight, the casting speed of the magic guide is still too slow, and he has plenty of reaction time to dodge.

But his purpose was not to deal with the white raven, but to go to the barrier mechanism control room behind her!

The corridor on the city wall was not very spacious, and the white raven cast a spell on that pestle, and he really couldn't get around it for a while.

It has to be done quickly.

Before the smoke and dust of the explosion had dissipated, Reiner struck through the smoke and slashed at the white raven with the long sword in his hand.

He had already made up his mind that if the White Raven dodged the sword, he would not pursue, but would rush directly into the control room and destroy the mechanism of the barrier circle.

But she didn't want the white raven to dodge at all, she activated the spell "Blocking Barrier", and a layer of dark blue shield shrouded her body.

"You're looking for death!"

Reiner let out a loud shout, and the power of the seventh-order knight completely exploded, and the long sword in his hand was like a bamboo, and it only took a moment to cut through the shield.

Although the "Blocking Barrier" is particularly effective against spell attacks, it is not very effective against physical damage.

Yuna didn't expect to rely on a fourth-order defensive spell to resist the attack of the seventh-order knight, and when the opponent's attack paused, she threw the magic guide to the side and pulled out the knight's sword at her waist.

She gripped the knight's sword in both hands, placing it precisely in his slashing path.

The next moment, the two swords collided, and the overwhelming force that came from them made her hands sink.

With the help of the Liberation Elixir, her physical fitness reached the level of a sixth-order knight in a short period of time, although it was still one step worse than the seventh-order, but it would not be crushed and defeated by Reiner within one combination.

But the problem with her leg was once again exposed in the white-knuckle fight, and the doll prosthetic leg of her lower body made a tooth-aching creaking sound in the moment after being forced.

At the critical moment, she used her mind to control the wing thrusters on her back to continue to push forward, so as to resist Reiner's onslaught.

This also relieves the pressure on the prosthesis to a considerable extent, and does not allow it to be scrapped on the spot.

With the help of the Liberation Elixir's body enhancement and the thrust provided by the Flying Wing Thruster, she actually withstood Reiner's attack head-on in a short period of time, blocking his footsteps at the door of the control room!

"......!"

Reiner was shocked and angry in his heart, he could sense that the true strength of the white raven was obviously much inferior to his own, but with the support of various magical potions and equipment, he couldn't defeat her immediately!?

And at this moment, there was also the sound of a sword blade breaking through the air beside him.

Even if the two seventh-order powerhouses in the legion encountered an accident, there were still some sixth-order knights on the city wall.

It's just that everything happened too fast, and these sixth-order knights were at a loss because of the enemy's pressure and the bombing of the city defense artillery, and they didn't know what was happening on the city wall, and no one present told them who the real enemy was.

After all, they are just soldiers, accustomed to obeying the orders of their superiors, and they have not been trained in actual combat, and their ability to adapt to emergencies is still a little worse.

Until the White Raven appeared and stopped Reiner on his way to the control room, the two had a fierce fight.

This made them react suddenly, and after quickly sorting out the causes and consequences in their minds, they quickly made their own judgments.

His own commander is a traitor, and the white raven is a true ally!

Thinking of this, they no longer hesitated, drew their swords and joined the battlefield, surround Reiner.

Reiner retreated to dodge their siege, his heart sinking to the bottom.

The destruction of the defending weapons was originally a surprise, and once the defenders and knights reacted, their mission failed.

Although the destruction of five city defense batteries was already half of the task, the uneasiness in his heart gradually intensified.

Because what stood in front of him was the biggest variable of the steppe people's attack on Linfeng City-the white raven.

At the moment when the white raven appeared, everything seemed to be going according to plan, and everything seemed to be quietly out of the plan again.

The two met their gazes, and they both saw each other's unyielding will in each other's eyes.

He seemed to have an understanding in his heart.

Do you want to be a hero too?

The next moment, a coercion enveloped his body, and the deep momentum made his body stagnate.

This is the prototype of the "realm", and it is the momentum and coercion that only an eighth-order knight can have.

"That's it, Reiner."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ryan led the Knights up the city wall and drew his sword and walked towards him.
