Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Hand Slipper
After that, the news that the red-haired villains had returned, tore apart an entire squadron of officers and soldiers like the Demon King of Hell, and attacked the city all the way to the west mountain. Although the rumors are inevitably false, at least, the hundreds of heads that were chopped into stuffing in the empty field of Tar Village are as if they were fake;
Under the notoriety, the guards and the returning regiment fled one after another. The convoy fought bloodlessly all the way, recovering many towns and villages, and brought hundreds of homeless people with them. It was supposed to be a two-day trip, but it took six days to arrive.
Oster was upset, it wasn't the result he wanted. It's okay to scare the landlord's regimental training and big-headed soldiers, but it's not easy to meet the middle and high-level armies and elite spellcasters who are regular.
Moreover, with so many people, the battle and the target are very large, and it is easy to be eliminated by the enemy at a fixed point; Former Lieutenant Price is a living example.
Classified information received by Headquarters previously revealed that Price was actually wearing an enchanted vest at the time of the assassination; It produces a magical shield that is powerful enough to withstand the impact of a powerful metal or stone projectile, at least without fatal damage.
But in the end, it was not an ordinary bullet that pierced the vest and hit the heart to kill him, but a high-level law-breaking bullet. In other words, the assassination of the former lieutenant is likely to be inseparable from the mage hunter that Oster encountered.
From this point of view, the situation on the Xishan side is far more complicated than imagined. Oster couldn't help but be stunned, this is a world where transcendents are one against a hundred or more, and what the rebels lack most is high-level spellcasters, and when the time comes, there will be a few more elite killers, and it is not good to count on the escort team composed of ordinary people.
It is better to rely on others than on oneself, and on the way, Oster quickly began to study the new version of the golden finger.
Since the last upgrade in Tar Village, I haven't thought about it carefully. Judging from the follow-up magic AI prompts, the upgrade of Sashu's ability and authority requires something called "will points"; And this thing is not experience points, proficiency, spell energy, etc., in the general sense, but actually obtained by the so-called "inspiring the courage of the people".
Oster shouted, if he understood this definition correctly, he was not doing it in hell, it could be said that it was the difficulty of creation; It's not an exaggeration at all, to create a new world, isn't it creation?
To mobilize the people, to lead them, but also to inspire their courage. Don't say that Oster is not a savior, and even if he is, can this be a good errand?
In his previous life, in the history and reality that he was familiar with, there were many noble, intelligent, and resolute people who fully proved that this was a dead end that could not be followed;
The masses are full of bad people, and the people are only making trouble with the landlords for their own local masters, and the anti-capitalists are only because they are not capitalists. The sacrifices and sacrifices of revolutionaries are meaningless, and in the end they become lonely people who no one understands. Even the descendants of the revolutionaries themselves will be transformed into the new magnates, using the bones of their ancestors to form a chair to ride on the heads of the people.
In this life, Oster has already made up his mind to stay out of the matter, no matter what he burns the revolutionary army, the leader and guardian, and the liberation of the whole universe, it has nothing to do with him. Here, he is pretending to be a monster and slapping his face, and the highest goal in life is to brush up on equipment, practice at the full level, become a big official, make a lot of money, and soak up beauties;
It's better to get him such a upgrade condition now. Revolution, Revolution P. Isn't there a system where you can sleep lying down and sign in with your fingers to increase your points?
In this way, they arrived awkwardly in the valley near the camp, and as soon as they walked up the mountain, they saw wolf smoke and gunsmoke not far away, and the sound of dense gunpowder and magic explosions was constantly coming; Two armies were engaged in a fierce exchange of fire up and down the steep mountain wall.
Seeing this, Keith immediately arranged for the refugees to hide on the spot, and then with Oster and the escort team, they crouched on a high place and observed the battle situation with binoculars.
I saw that in the valley below, an officer and army guard was attacking the Xishan camp headquarters located on the cliff. The enemy was outnumbered, as well as tanks and heavy artillery; The defenders of the camp were resisting with few troops, only a few fortifications and artillery emplacements that fired arrows and magic, and they were soon pushed to the pass that must be passed up the mountain, and the officers and soldiers were mobilizing heavy magic artillery to bombard the fortifications on the top of the slope.
It was really strange that such a large-scale enemy army was once again beaten to the doorstep, and it was not clear what had happened to the Xishan battalion headquarters.
The guards discussed with each other how they could support the friendly forces ahead. Only Oster was absent-minded, pretending to be seriously thinking, and in fact still looking through and studying the new functions of the book; Anyway, no one else can see the interface of the book he exhales.
He found that as his authority increased, the speed of energy recovery also increased slightly. In the past few days, I have saved a little bit of energy, and with the rest from before, I can release a medium and high-level spell again.
And, there was a bonus. Oster saw that there was an extra plus button next to some spells, and by using his mind to manipulate the cursor click, he could directly increase the original level of the copied spell;
For example, this fire explosion technique, the original spell level was level 5, and if you convert it to the earth's weapon firepower, it is almost the power of an RPG when thrown out. Now it can be upgraded to level 10, which is the limit level of mid-level spells, and judging from the description on the data, it is equivalent to a 155 grenade.
If you continue to click, the plus button will change to an exclamation mark, and a prompt box will pop up next to it;
[Are you sure about jumping spell tiers?] Note: This will replace a mid-tier spell with a high-tier spell, which will change the spell's original traits, effects, and energy levels, which may cause the system to be overloaded, lose energy, or shut down. γ
Oster hurriedly removed the cursor, thinking to himself that he could still leap and change his shotgun for a cannon; It's just a big side effect, such an awesome thing, of course, it has to be saved until it saves lives.
At this moment, the guards who were observing the enemy formation let out a burst of exclamation, and Oster also picked up the binoculars to watch.
I saw that in the distant battlefield, because the Xishan battalion headquarters was guarding the pass, the terrain was steep, the tanks and artillery could not be opened, and the magic bombardment had little effect - I remember that last time, the rebel army also relied on the geographical advantage to repel the invading enemy - after a long time without results, the officers and troops decided to attack.
As the vanguard cannon fodder, there are hundreds of unarmed civilians with their families;
A large group of old and weak women and children were held up with guns and cannons and walked out of the official and military positions. They were innocent people from nearby villages and market towns, weeping and supporting each other, as they walked towards the rebel lines. Seeing this, the defensive positions and fortifications of the rebels stopped their attacks; Officers and soldiers and tanks took the opportunity to hide behind civilians and swarmed up.
Witnessing this scene, the guards here smashed the ground with their fists one after another, and rose up in anger;
"These bitches!" "Brothers, get on, them!"
Keith immediately stopped them and said, "Stop!" There are only a dozen people on our side, and they only bring light weapons, and they rush up to the top, isn't it in vain to die? Besides, our first task is to protect the deputy gang leader, if the location is exposed, he has an accident, who is responsible? β
What he said was completely reasonable, and the players could only force their anger and lean down, but they were so angry that their teeth clucked;
"Is it just that we can only watch those people being plagued by animals?" "What are the people in the Xishan Battalion Department doing? Are you blind and can't see the outside? β
At this moment, Oster, who was lying on the ground, made a sound of "oh oh oh", and everyone looked over and saw him dancing with his hands, not knowing what he was doing.
Oster made a strange sound because he was a little emotionally unstable when he saw the scene down the mountain just now, and accidentally slipped his hand and clicked on the cursor; This activates the jump button of the Flame Blast, and the Sashu interface is immediately displayed;
[Flame Burst (Lv. 11) will be replaced with a high-tier spell: Dragon's Breath (Lv. 1) with X3 range, range, and energy cost.] Have you decided to jump up the tier? γ
Oster was taken aback, but luckily there was a second confirmation button, which was wrong; Hurriedly put the cursor on the "Cancel" button;
Before he could press it, there was another commotion in the valley below. Looking through the binoculars, the people hesitated to step forward as the defenders began to fire back, and the officers and soldiers hiding behind opened fire and fired arrows, forcing them to continue walking. In the rain of bullets, people were hit and fell to the ground, weeping and groaning, and were forced to continue to crawl forward;
Oster held the telescope and watched, accidentally slipped his hand again, and the cursor mistakenly clicked "OK". Moreover, his fingers trembled a little from the terrible situation he witnessed, and the buttons were clicked several times;
[Determine the Ascended Dragon Breath Technique.] Levels continue to rise, with current levels 1, 2, 3, and 4...... The Dragon's Breath (Level 5) has reached its high-tier cap, will it continue to rise to Legendary Spell? - Warning, continuous jumps are expected to exhaust all available energy and go into standby mode. γ
When Oster saw it, I was stunned, and there was another mistake in my own operation. Hurriedly shook his head, no, no, if he turned off the machine, he would become a blank slate again; Cancel.
However, his eyes were never without binoculars. As far as the eye could see, there was blood and corpses everywhere, the groaning wounded, the people crying and struggling; A mother was shot and fell to the ground, crawling with all her strength towards the swaddling baby that had fallen in front of her, and the infant baby was crying desperately because of the dust splashed by the bullets around her.
Oster's fingers trembled, and he couldn't stop clicking.
[Waiting for the order, is it sure to jump?] γ
Oster slowly lowered the binoculars. He knew in his heart that in this chaotic place, as a wanted criminal and bandit leader, if he lost his ability, it was estimated that he would not survive until dawn tomorrow morning; Moreover, you can only cast one spell, what can you do? You can't clear the field with a nuclear bomb, and then there will be no one to save.
So, give me a quick cancellation. He is not a savior, he can save others only after saving himself.
[Received.] γ
Suddenly, Oster's body was filled with a huge amount of energy, and he involuntarily stood up from the ground and floated. The surrounding team members looked at him in amazement.
γβ¦β¦ A "OK" instruction is received. Start the energy infusion, load the spell program. Done, select the target range, determine the attack coordinates, and calculate the cast path. γ
Oster smiled wryly, and at the end of the end, his hand slipped. Even if he didn't know what to do, he couldn't have backed down in such a situation. In that case, is it still human?
The sky was getting darker, and a huge amount of magical energy passed through his body and was channeled towards the sky. Soon, above thousands of feet in the sky, a huge dimensional rift appeared in the middle of the heavenly dome, and there were dots of starlight from the void in it;
[The spell is ready, and the execution beginsβMeteorite.] γ
Seeing this strange scene of the sun and moon darkening and the sky falling dark, the guards and the people who were hiding raised their heads one after another, and they were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths;
Looking at Oster, who had turned into a light man in front of him, one of the team members muttered, "I thought the deputy gang leader was an invincible person, but now I found out that I was wrong. He wasn't mortal at all. β
Pullman pretended to be puzzled and looked around, and asked Keith, "Brother Keith, you just said who needs protection, why can't I find it?" β
As the light burst out from Oster's seven orifices, a flaming giant meteorite emerged from the void rift; Trailing a long trail and falling at great speed, heading straight for the valley below.
