103. The Beginning of the War
"Who the hell are you?"
Layton asked in a gloomy voice with the sword in his hand pointed directly at Dix.
He had sensed something was wrong when Dix came in just now, and then he immediately went through a series of interrogations, and this Dix was all silent and staring at him with a blank face.
Layton is a noble baron, and although he has never seen it, he also knows that there are many ways to control a person in this world, magic potions, necromancy, and magical equipment.
Even, the soul of this person in front of him may not be his son!
"What the hell did you do to my son!"
"I am your son, Dix Joseph. ”
In the face of the long sword, Dix still didn't care, looking at Layton indifferently.
This answer made Layton fall into an ice cellar, and then his anger surged, and the long sword struck out!
"Then you will die!"
A majestic fighting spirit flew out with the long sword, and Dix was instantly knocked away by a huge force, slamming into the wooden door behind him!
"Bang!"
The strength of Layton's blow was a tenth-level all-out blow, and Dix didn't even have the qualifications to block it, and the moment he hit the wooden door, the thick wood shattered into several pieces like a tofu block, and Dix's body didn't stop its momentum until it hit the stone wall in the corridor.
"Father's ......"
Looking at Dix, whose fate was unknown when he fell to the ground, Mila's heart tightened, but she still stopped.
At this time, Leighton did not continue after this blow, and the impulse just now gradually subsided, because this body belonged to his son.
If this body is destroyed, even if Dix's soul is still there, it won't help.
Dix had taken this move, his chest had become a bloody blur, and he was leaning limply against the stone wall, but his expression was as if he was fine, and he kept staring at Layton as he walked out of the room.
What the hell is this...... Undead?
Layton stared at Dix, his restless hands rubbing inadvertently.
"Why are you so angry, Lord Baron?"
Just as Layton was frowning and thinking about what to do, a crisp voice sounded at the top of the stairs, and a handsome young man in a mage robe slowly walked up.
Behind the boy were two men and a woman, one in heavy armor and one with a pair of battle axes, whom Leighton immediately recognized as the knights of the Rhine.
"Are you Celtic?" Layton asked in a deep voice.
"Celtic wasn't qualified to make me his man. ”
Levi glanced at Dix on the ground, his body was still intact, and then retracted his gaze, "Hello, Baron Layton, my name is Levi, and I am a mage majoring in ice. ”
"What did Lord Levi want to do when he came to my Baron's Castle?"
Layton had a bad feeling in his heart, he had seen this mage when he stepped through the door with Dix, but how did the others around Levi get in?
Not to mention early in the morning, even in the middle of the night, the Baron's castle was extremely well defended, and it was unimaginable for three people to come in silently.
"Baron Leighton, don't be nervous, your career level has already reached the threshold of level ten, and it will take a lot of trouble for me to kill you, so I think it's best for us to discuss it together. ”
"Discuss?"
Layton's brows tightened, and a smile flashed inadvertently at the corner of his mouth, "I've never crossed paths with His Excellency the Mage before, so there shouldn't be anything to discuss, right?"
He admits that it was surprising for Levi to let the three of them quietly enter the Baronial Castle, but that doesn't mean that Layton thinks Levi will be qualified to talk to him.
Levi noticed Layton's expression, he was not angry, and pointed outside, "The others are not in a hurry, Lord Baron will take a look outside first." ”
Coincidentally, not long after his voice fell, the killing cries of the guards sounded outside, but Layton still stared at Levi vigilantly, and Mira next to him hurriedly ran back a few steps, leaning against the castle window and looking out.
Four teams of guards were rushing out from both sides of the castle, but they were stopped by a dense crowd of skeletons and ghouls, and a man wearing the same robe as Levi was directing the undead.
Behind the man, a dozen tall orcs slaughtered all the guards at the gate with double-edged axes twice as large as Mira's face, and then rushed to the walls on both sides.
Having just heard the shouts of the guards, Mira thought that the battle had just begun, but in fact it was Levi's men who had already taken over the castle gates.
At this time, there were also killing cries on the arrow towers on both sides, and the sharp arrows that should have shot the enemy did not appear, and they had obviously been captured by the enemy.
Mira didn't want to look any further, and quickly ran to Layton's side, describing the matter in a low voice.
If Leighton can't go down to help, the castle will soon fall.
Levi didn't even need to look at it, he was very confident in his subordinates, and besides, the most difficult thing to deal with in the whole castle was right now in front of his eyes.
"Miss Mira must have seen the situation outside, Lord Baron, now we can discuss, right?"
Layton's face was gloomy, and he wanted to tear Levi's throat with the sword in his hand right now.
But he eventually held back.
The other party had obviously investigated the details of the Joseph family, and he must be prepared to dare to appear in front of him so swaggeringly.
Layton loosened his grip on the long sword and asked slowly, "Then Your Excellency Mage, what do you want to discuss?"
"Actually, it's a very simple thing, if I don't want to cause too much killing in the Joseph family, Lord Leighton's baronship will not have any effect, and even I can help Lord Leighton expand the family territory and glorify the family's light. ”
Levi spoke lightly, but Leighton frowned more and more as he listened, waiting for his next words.
Gold coins don't fall from the sky for no reason, and the more beautiful the result, the heavier the price.
"As long as Baron Layton is willing to follow me, he will follow my arrangements and be loyal to me in the future. ”
As a dimensional invader, Levi was born to be the enemy of these people, but he didn't want to cause too much killing.
So if there is a spokesman for the plane to help him rule, this path will be better.
This is not crocodile tears, because there is no right or wrong in the plane war, and Levi is here to conquer this plane.
But there are many ways to conquer, and Levi is not a demon who blindly harvests souls, so he naturally seeks the most suitable method.
However, this method is not so easy to accept.
Sure enough, Layton suddenly sneered after hearing Levi's words to make him surrender, his eyes instantly became extremely cold, and his powerful aura continued to rise, and then his body shot at Levi like a sharp arrow!
"Kill you, and those people outside won't be afraid!"
103.
In the time when Levi was talking just now, Layton had already adjusted his state, so he was at the peak of his shot at this moment.
However, Levi was also ready, and while Layton moved, Arya and Owen chewed the glass bottle in their mouths, and Levi's blood rushed directly into their bodies, and the two of them directly stopped Layton's full force blow with red eyes!
The invisible impact caused by the fighting spirit broke out in an instant, and some of them were stopped by Levi with source power, while the rest were resisted by Arya and Owen together!
At the same time, the strength of the two of them was equally terrifying, and Layton couldn't help but take a few steps back, and what surprised him the most was that Owen and Arya didn't use weapons at all, but only used their bodies to resist!
"Don't spare your hands!"
As soon as Levi gave the order, Arya's "claws" grabbed Leighton, and Owen's bone spurs also stabbed out, and Desai followed closely with a giant axe!
Originally, he had already prepared the magic slavery scroll, but Layton didn't even have the interest in talking, so it could only be solved by violence!
The corridors of the castle were spacious, but there was still no room for three people to fight, so Arya rushed to the other side of Layton with her speed!
Mira is a serious aristocratic lady, and she doesn't know any martial arts, she retreats to the study in a panic, praying in her heart that she can be safe.
It's just that the Joseph family doesn't have a god to believe in, and she doesn't know who to pray to for a while.
Leighton is a serious tenth-level great sword master, although he has no special professional abilities, he is still able to not fall behind in the siege, except for the shock after the previous sword move was stopped with his bare hands, he has regained his composure.
The strength of Arya and Owen under the outbreak is above the peak of level eight, and Desai, who has become a zombie, is equally powerful, the strength of these three bodies is already extremely terrifying, but except for parts like Arya's claws, they still can't completely block the sword of level ten.
After all, there is a level difference in strength, and even if it is a three-person siege, there is no advantage at all.
Fortunately, Arya was fast enough, Owen's bones were hard enough, and Desai was wearing a suit of armor like a war bear and lunging at Layton, not caring about the sword that fell on his body.
To Layton's horror, he was already short of breath under the fierce confrontation, but Desai was not in a hurry, and always maintained a constant attack intensity, like a necromancer's pet, fearless of life and death, tireless.
On several occasions, Desai slashed at Layton's sword and slashed the axe in his hand at his neck, forcing Layton to retreat and dodge, temporarily changing his moves.
At this time, Layton also found that the frequency of attacks of Arya and Owen next to him had not decreased, even when they were stabbed by his sword, there was no pause.
Leighton originally thought that he would use his own strength to fight a quick victory at the beginning, but the reality slowly evolved into a tug-of-war.
This is not his situation, even if he wins in the end, it will be the end of the crossbow, if the entire castle is occupied, there is still no chance.
Just as he was about to break the dilemma by choosing one person to kill from the enemy in front of him with the explosion of fighting spirit, an ice-blue light flashed in the air!
Layton was shocked, although he had not seen it, but he also knew the power of magic, and immediately dodged back to dodge.
However, if Levi's magic spent his time chanting was easily dodged by Layton, then the Star Relic Lords would be all wastes in the Void.
The icy blue light caught up with Layton's figure, and the icy breath made him shiver, while his limbs slowed down.
Frozen Nova!
Levi's upgraded version after studying the Frost Ring, the temperature of the freeze has dropped several times, and the consumption of source power and the cast time have also been greatly increased, so even if Layton is already level ten, he can't be exempted!
"Damn it!"
Rayton's fighting energy, which seemed to be trapped in a swamp, instantly exploded, trying to dispel the strange freezing. But it will take time after all, and Desai's great axe has already slashed in front of him, and Layton has not had time to think twice before he can block the longsword in front of him.
Zheng!
Flutter!
Two different sounds rang out one after another, and although Layton blocked the giant axe that Desai roared into, he didn't have time to block Owen on the other side, and the sharp bone spur pierced his left rib hard!
Normally, on the battlefield, Layton would have to put on two layers of armor, but now in this hasty situation, he only wore a set of underwear and civilian clothes, and he couldn't stop Owen's bone spurs at all, and with the sound of jerky flesh, the bone spurs more than half a meter long were inserted into one-third of the body in a moment.
"Fuck off, dirty shit!"
Layton roared angrily, and a sword swept towards Owen's chest, but the other party did not dodge it at all, and the bone spur in his other hand went straight into his throat!
Layton had no choice but to give up the attack, cut off the bone spur on his left rib with a sword, and then quickly retreated with his footsteps.
Now that he has decided that these enemies who are not afraid of life and death are things like undead puppets, he is helpless when he is entangled, and slowly his mind is no longer stable.
But Layton had to face more than just these things at the moment, the frozen strangeness on his body was dispelled by the fighting spirit, and another cold and ghostly feeling shrouded his consciousness like a shadow!
Layton couldn't help but look at Levi, and suddenly there was a figure in a blood-red robe beside him.
He was convinced that he had never seen this red-robed figure before, but when his eyes touched this figure, Layton felt that he had suddenly entered a space full of darkness!
Terrible roars and blood attacked his sanity endlessly, and inexplicable fear hit his heart, whispering in his ear at all times to let him escape.
"Get out of here!"
Layton roared, and the darkness in front of him shattered like a mirror falling to the ground!
Burst!
Marcy, the demon warlock beside Levi, instantly spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell down the stairs with her head up!
That's the price of using Dread to control your enemies with a four-level difference in strength!
However, although the fear of blood and roaring in Layton's consciousness had disappeared without a trace, a giant axe magnified in front of his face, whistling and slashing towards his face!
"Bang!"
The huge force struck instantly, and in a hurry, Layton didn't have time to stop it, and the tearing pain gradually spread from his chest, and the whole person flew out upside down in an instant!
There was another loud bang, and Layton fell hard at the end of the corridor, and Desai's axe made him unable to raise his fighting spirit for a while!
But this is also reasonable, although the battle lasted only a few minutes, but both sides were in the most ferocious posture, physical and mental consumption, coupled with these two not light wounds made Layton almost in the limit state.
On the other hand, the injuries on Owen and the others were not light, and they were more terrifying than Layton, but they didn't care about the injuries on their bodies at all, and they didn't intend to give Layton a chance to breathe, so they pounced again!
