The "welcoming team" of the Longhuang Empire entered the capital of Yangshao and was solemnly welcomed by King Luo Ben XIX.
Although Yangshao Kingdom is a famous "mercenary kingdom" in the human world, its territory is not vast, and many of its lands are bordering the Longhuang Empire. When Robben I founded the kingdom as a mercenary, he obtained the Longhuang Empire
strong support, so the Yangshao Kingdom has always existed as a vassal state similar to the Longhuang Empire.
Compared with the founders of his ancestors, today's Robben Nineteenth has a big belly, a bright smile, and no trace of a mercenary. He is a complete king. Facing the arrival of the third prince of the Longhuang Empire, Robben
The 19th generation did not dare to neglect and held a welcome ceremony with the highest reception standards.
Not only because of His Highness's status as a prince, but also because "Arthur" is Lord Jinyao who controls magic games and rice wine, plus he has the title of one of the three greatest weapon-making masters in mankind.
Such a big shot is likely to be the king of the Longhuang Empire in the future, so it is absolutely necessary to have a good relationship with him.
Chen Rui politely declined the kindness of Robben XIX to hold a grand banquet for him. He only stayed briefly and then left, heading towards Garden City.
Before leaving, Chen Rui gave Ron 19th several bottles of the best Huanglong wine, plus a long-term supply order of yellow dragon wine, which put a smile on Ron 19th's fat face.
The team's route is through Garden City to Mirror City in Loya Kingdom, then through the teleportation gate in Mirror City to Starlight Kingdom, and then from Starlight Kingdom to Emerald Forest Sea.
The carriages are equipped with the most sophisticated mutant war horses from the Longhuang Empire. They are the best in terms of speed and endurance. They can see clearly even at night, which is far beyond the ability of civilian vehicles. It can greatly save travel distance.
To sum it up, because the magic game is "assisted" by the Church of Light, Chen Rui saved a lot of work and set off earlier than planned. He still had plenty of time on hand. It was not that he was rushing to Lan Yao Empire to get engaged, but
He wanted to go to the Emerald Forest Sea and meet the two masters again. As for what Fenoa said he wanted to give, he didn't really take it to heart.
These two were his true friends in the human world. When he first met them, he had just reached the level of quasi-grandmaster in weapon making. The two masters gave him selfless guidance and help, and in the end he successfully promoted to master and became a master.
Therefore, he defeated Saman and Ukarius in the life-and-death battle of the Demon World Weapon-Making Masters. Now Chen Rui's weapon-making skills have been vaguely superior to those of the two masters, and his combat effectiveness is far superior to the two, but
No matter how powerful you are or how good you are at making tools, friends are friends.
Friendship does not change based on high or low, poor or low.
The speeding carriage suddenly stopped. The pause was so sudden that even Chen Rui in the carriage space felt it. He immediately notified Laura and others and closed the space. The sound of chaos and fighting was heard outside the carriage.
"Your Highness, please don't leave the carriage!" The saint-level strongman Bedel said solemnly: "We have suffered an unknown attack, and General Proyo is directing the battle."
Chen Rui stretched out his head and just took a glance. He had a panoramic view of the surrounding situation.
This is a concave terrain, with higher peaks on both sides. There are huge rolling logs scattered all over the ground in front and behind, and they are burning. The air is filled with the scorching heat after the magic circle is activated, and the firelight reflects the nearby corpses.
.Some are for people, and some are for horses.
It seems that the enemy is using the terrain to launch an attack, blocking the incoming and outgoing routes of the convoy. Judging from the power and layout of the magic circle, it is definitely not an ordinary thief, but a premeditated ambush.
Under the command of Proyo, the knights restrained their horses, huddled into a circular formation, and protected the carriage in the middle.
In the darkness, countless sounds roared through the air, and there was a faint flash of light. They should be arrows with magic added to them.
The wand in Bedel's hand paused, and the arrows seemed to hit the invisible shield, cutting off and falling one after another. A strange mechanical sound rang out, and in the sound of breaking through the air, there was another sharper whistling sound.
"Gigantic crossbow!" Bedel's expression changed. The giant crossbow was a giant and complex ballista. It was originally used to deal with giant monsters such as dragons. It was very time-consuming to load, but its power and destructive power were extremely terrifying.
Although the giant crossbow machine is powerful, it is still a dead thing. If it is a one-on-one confrontation, Bedel has many options. However, at present, his duty is to protect the carriage, which means that he can only pick it up where he is.
From the moment he heard the sound of the giant crossbow to realizing that it was just a flash of lightning, Bedel had no time to react. The wand lit up with bright light, the power of the domain surged out, and several more faces appeared in the air.
The thick soil condensed into a shield, suspended in front.
Almost the next second, there was the sound of being penetrated by the earth shield, and then there was a burst, the ground shook, and almost all the earth shields were shattered. Fortunately, there were only large turtles on the last two floors.
It cracked and barely resisted the "arrow". Many knights nearby were injured by the force of the explosion.
"Damn, it's a giant crossbow arrow with the most powerful explosion formation!" Cardo, another saint-level swordsman, couldn't help but cursed, "The giant crossbow is a strictly controlled contraband weapon even in the military.
, Where did these bastards get them!"
Proyo immediately ordered the knights to dismount, put the horses behind them, further reduce the scope of the circular formation, and prepare for the formation.
Bedel had just forcibly activated the power of the domain to block the blow. He did not dare to neglect. The wand danced again, the ground shook, and tall and hard thick walls rose up in all directions, protecting the carriage like a city wall.
The sound of machine gunfire and sharp whistling sounded again. This time there was more than one giant crossbow. Several layers of the surrounding earth walls were penetrated and collapsed under the force of the explosion, but the innermost layers were not damaged.
Bedel is proficient in earth magic and has extremely quick adaptability. This earth wall technique that condenses the power of the field is indeed the best way to defend against giant crossbows.
After a round of shooting failed, the sound of the giant crossbow stopped temporarily. After all, the loading of this crossbow was its biggest weakness. However, ghostly figures began to appear behind the collapsed earth wall, rushing towards the carriage——
After the shooting failed, the enemy resorted to close combat.
The knights near the carriage were all elites of the Dragon Scale Legion. They did not panic or move rashly. They just waited quietly for Captain Proyo's order.
The phantoms were already quite close. Proyo gave an order, and the swordsmen in the front row swung their swords in unison, slashing at an angle, slashing straight, slashing horizontally, then slashing straight, and then slashing horizontally...these swordsmen's
The lowest level of strength is the master level. Rows of fierce winds criss-crossed neatly, like a giant net. The phantoms turned into countless pieces before they even got close to their bodies.
Chen Rui could see that these knights had a power similar to magic tattoos, and the combined formation could exert several times their own power.
Especially these elites who are well-trained and have experienced hundreds of battles. They are well-established in their advance and retreat, as if they are one person. Even if they face a saint-level powerhouse, they are still capable of fighting.
The formation of combined attacks is the best means of warfare for humans, but the demon world is much weaker in this aspect, and sometimes it relies more on personal strength. Generally speaking, due to the relationship between lifespan and physical strength, compared with the strongest at the same level,
Demons want to defeat humans.
The elites of the Dragon Scale Legion in front of him gave Chen Rui a lesson, and in the blink of an eye, like a meat grinder, they killed the enemy who exceeded their own number.
Bedel, who was around the carriage, suddenly raised his head and saw countless light spots appearing in the night sky. Those light spots instantly enlarged a lot. They turned out to be flaming meteorites.
"Meteor Fire Rain!" Bedel exclaimed. Meteor Fire Rain is a powerful magic of the fire system. It is extremely lethal to fixed targets on the ground. There are hundreds of these meteorites, even from this distance.
Feeling that terrifying fire element fluctuation, it seems that there is a powerful fire magician among the enemies.
The carriage could not move now. Just like the previous giant crossbow, Bedel could only take it hard. He immediately raised his wand high, pointed it at the sky, and chanted a spell quickly.
At this moment, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart, and he saw a golden light shining brightly, flying towards him like lightning, and just then the sound of piercing the air sounded - arrow!
This arrow condensed extremely powerful domain power, and the timing was extremely accurate. It was just when Bedel concentrated his magic power to resist the meteor shower in the sky that he had no time to make a second reaction.
The magician's close combat ability is almost zero. If this arrow is hit, Bedel will be severely injured even if he doesn't die. He will not be able to withstand the meteors and fire rain falling from the sky. The carriage and the people nearby will be turned into melted meat paste.
"Ding!" The arrow was blocked by a giant sword, and the one holding the sword was Kado, another saint-level powerhouse.
As expected, Cardo lived up to Bedel's expectations and took the arrow for him. Bedel's magic power surged out, and the meteors and fire showers in the sky quickly slowed down. They seemed to be colliding with some force and were stagnant.
in the air.
The golden light lit up, and this time the target was Cardo. In a series of arrows, the five arrows were trained in a straight line, and the arrow in front accurately shot into the tail of the back arrow, which was equivalent to nearly five times the extra force. Cardo's giant sword moved horizontally, and the entire
The person was blown away more than ten meters.
Before he could recover, dozens of golden lights carrying sharp whistles flew towards Bedel, who was fighting with the meteors and fire showers. Cardo was already too late to rescue him. Bedel felt something bad, and his figure appeared instantly.
In mid-air, this teleportation made the meteors and fire rain fall a few minutes faster. Bedel quickly stabilized the magic power to resist and shouted: "Take His Highness out of here!"
If you continue to stand still like this, you will only be beaten passively, and you must abandon the carriage.
However, just as Bedel finished speaking, those golden lights seemed to have eyes. They turned an arc and followed Bedel in the air.
Bedel was shocked. At this critical moment, the golden light suddenly stopped, revealing its original shape, which were arrows made of golden metal.
The next scene made everyone stunned. The dozens of sparkling arrows instantly turned into fly ash. The faintly shining fly ash quickly retreated, and actually followed the trajectory of the arrows when they flew in, as if
The playback footage is average.
In the blink of an eye, the light flew back to the point where the arrow was fired, and a shrill cry rang out. It only rang for half a sound, then stopped abruptly, and there was no more sound.
Bedel could see it most clearly in the air. It was a slender figure. He tried several times to avoid the retreating light, but could not succeed. The moment the light returned to his body, he screamed and his body was reduced to ashes.
.
Bedel felt the pressure above his head relax, and hundreds of flaming meteorites turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, and were blown away by the night wind high in the sky, scattering without a trace.
What kind of power is this? It’s so powerful! The slender figure was obviously a peak saint-level strongman, but he turned into fly ash in an instant. Judging from the floating state, this power is not like magic, but more like
A kind of poison!
Everything just now was naturally the work of Pagliu sitting on the top of the carriage. These lowly assassins only needed to move their fingers to solve the problem.
Uncle Poison Dragon took a sip of wine and winked at the humans in a demonstrative manner, looking like a villain who had succeeded - I must be awesome, you have the strength and you can only pretend to be a grandson...
Chen Rui had an indifferent expression, but Laura glanced at Poison Dragon and looked back. Anyway, if this lady takes action, ten Pagliu will kneel down, and they don't bother to argue with this guy.
Only the amoeba looked dejected. Such a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds was missed because of greed for the last half bottle of wine.
"The enemy has retreated!" Bedel could clearly see that after the strong man who shot the arrow was killed, the ghostly black shadows seemed to have received some order and quickly retreated, including the fire-type holy magic that released meteors and fire rain.
division.
Cardo stepped forward and bowed to Pagliu together with Bedel who landed on the ground. There was obvious awe in their eyes. Others may not know it yet, but as saint-level powerful people, he and
Bedel could feel that it was the careless-looking man next to His Highness who had defeated the enemy.
With a wave of his hand, the peak saint-level powerhouse was turned into ashes. The guardian of "Arthur" has far surpassed the strength of the saint-level - super-level powerhouse!
Seeing the enemy retreat, the knights all raised their swords and cheered in victory.
Laura whispered in Chen Rui's ear: "I felt the fluctuations of water teleportation. Those people should have used the one-time teleportation array to escape."
Chen Rui nodded, looking thoughtful.
Proyo didn't hear Laura's voice, but just frowned and said: "I always feel something is wrong. I feel that the enemy retreated a little too fast..."
"General, you must be worrying too much," Bedel shook his head disapprovingly. "I saw clearly that the enemy leader was killed by the guardian who led His Highness, and his morale was greatly reduced, so he retreated."
"It's just a commander's intuition. I hope I'm wrong." Proyo nodded, and just as he was arranging the soldiers to clear the road obstacles, Pagliu suddenly frowned and stood up.
