Starting from the Sumar Platform in the Holy Kingdom of Oud, the human civilization in the world of Emera has been stumbling for thousands of years, and competitive gladiatorial combat is one of the few that can be traced back to the beginning of civilization with detailed records.
blood sport
This sport has developed to this day and has become an extremely complicated and huge competitive event. The rules and regulations are becoming more and more detailed, and there are more and more types of competitions. Among them, there is an unwritten rule but a very important unspoken rule, that is, certain
To be ornamental
To simply understand, in an event, the more closely matched, indistinguishable, and hearty it is, the more successful it is. Instant kills, killing the enemy with one move, and battles without suspense... These are all taboos for today's audiences.
, it is far from enough to see blood and casualties. Cruel, intense, and shocking, these are the elements of excitement.
In order to achieve this goal, organizers often take great pains in private to fully understand the strength of both parties, and use various methods to ensure the balance of combat power between the two parties. In such a general environment, people like Neo have been active in the arena for many years.
Gladiators who are still missing arms, legs, or even die on the battlefield often have amazing abilities to master multiple weapons and armors, including the use of some very rare special weapons and equipment.
It is no exaggeration to say that gladiators are definitely more suitable for the title of 'all-rounder' than mercenaries. Even because of the popularity of group battles and group battles that began more than a hundred years ago, and the group cooperation of the old gladiators,
Battle formation literacy is also extremely excellent
Like Neo, in terms of team evaluation, he has reached the "universal position" standard. In other words, in the new team, Neo can quickly fill any role he can play and perform well. However, if he is allowed to
Neo chooses by himself. He is more accustomed to the position of the main attacker in fighting battles. He follows the shield warrior and is mainly responsible for damage output. To further breakdown, he is a dual-wielding sword fighter and is exclusively proficient in one-handed swords.
Dual-wielding one-handed swords is a path chosen by those who have great confidence in their own reactions, agility, power control, and swordsmanship. The most famous profession of dual-wielding one-handed swords is the Elf Sword Dancer.
Strong men can carry out range attacks exceeding 300°, and their power intensity is no different from the frontal sword attacks of ordinary warriors. It is simply a nightmare for team battles.
However, it can be said that there are very few werewolves who take the path of dual-wielding one-handed sword fighting skills. This is because most werewolves are born with the talent for wild fighting, are wild, upright, impulsive, and relatively lack of brains.
Perception of delicate parts and precise thinking ability
A simple understanding is that most werewolves are muscular men with well-developed limbs and average minds. On the battlefield, they often rely on powerful and domineering combat skills to defeat the enemy, which is called the mainstream of Emerald's intelligent life.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the most powerful series in combat power, professions such as sword dancers and sword fighters, for them, are simply like asking rough men to embroider. It is not about whether the embroidery needle is used accurately, but simply how to use it.
Do not have the artistic sense to complete an excellent work
Compared with those of his kind, Neo's childhood, youth, and teenage experiences are very unique. He is from the werewolf family. He grew up in the human world and lived a life that was different from the jungle but absolutely followed the law of survival of the fittest. So
, it’s not surprising that Neo has the wildness and ferocity of a werewolf and the delicate thinking of a human.
The human world has always felt like a guest's discomfort to Neo, but this does not allow him to turn a blind eye and feel at ease even though he has enough ability to save a human life, even if almost half of Thor in the daytime
The residents of the city shouted that they wanted to chop off his head.
Neo understands their history better than most humans, and his level of proficiency is fully capable of working with experts to verify the unsolved mysteries in the long history. This makes him very clear about what today's public trials are like, and
Who is the real instigator and beneficiary? He doesn't even have real hatred for the woman who spat on him, but if there is a chance, Neo doesn't mind giving that woman a little punishment. The reason is just
Four words, debt repayment
He used the furoshiki wrapped around the armor to pull out strips of cloth and twisted them into ropes. He put the two swords and scabbards on his back. Neo reached out to his lower back several times and felt more comfortable. Then he twitched the rope head in front.
Really fix the position of the Cambridge sheath
Neo heard the sound of burning flames and felt the hot and dry breath mixed in the wind. There were many fire spots in the southern district, and they were still increasing and spreading. This meant that the dark forces were no longer simply fighting.
Smash, loot, and burn, and it is very likely that the South District will be completely burned to the ground.
"Is it to cover up its true purpose?" There is too little information, and Neo can only make simple speculations, but one thing is for sure, there are frequent dark cultists in this area, and there are a lot of them.
Continuing deeper, the threat of the evil fire puppets is temporarily greatly reduced. The burning heat forms layers of invisible energy barriers, blocking the evil fire puppets from detecting the target. As Neo expected, there are many dark cultists in this area and
Quite active, they are the new threat that Neo has to face
The United Kingdom of Frey attaches great importance to business. Although Soles City has a long history, the commercial district undergoes a major overhaul every three to five years. The roads are accessible and there are many shops but they are in an orderly manner. In addition, the burning everywhere illuminates the surrounding area.
, there are almost no routes suitable for lurking and no shadow corners to hide in.
Neo quickly made a decision to get a set of dark cultist clothes to disguise himself, and then continued to move deeper into the business district. He clearly remembered that the earliest burning location was the core area of the business district. After several hours of burning,
What should be burned has almost been burned, what should have collapsed has also collapsed, and has been looted. Although there are dangers such as being buried in the sea of fire, smoke, and suffocation, in comparison, there is still a choice value.
Big bonfires also have their uses, such as the well-known "darkness under the lamp". The burning light not only prevents people from seeing far away, but can also be used as a barrier to block sight. Even if you have dark vision, under the influence of the heat of the flames
, is also blurry and difficult to distinguish
Wandering around the outskirts of the business district, Neo carefully searched for suitable opportunities, and finally locked on a pair of partners. Through some detailed observations, he determined that these two were targets that he could capture, and then chose a suitable battlefield.
finally……
"Blood Night, password!"
The two dark cultists saw someone walking slowly across the flames, but the flames were dazzling and they couldn't see clearly. One of them covered his forehead with his hand, trying to see clearly the appearance of the person. The other felt that at this time, he walked away in a swagger.
The one who came and reported the correct password must be his accomplice, so he said smoothly: "Exterminate the light!"
"The boss told you to move faster." The words drifted, but there was no trace of the person.
"Where are the people?" asked the dark cultist who covered his forehead with his hands.
"Bring the message, let's go." Then he muttered in a low voice: "Hurry! Hurry you..."
The next moment, a figure jumped out of the blazing flames like a cheetah, and then both swords flew together, shooting like crossbow bolts at the two dark cultists.
Pfft! The dark cultist who was moving the goods was completely unprepared. He watched dumbfoundedly as the sword penetrated his throat, sprang out from behind, and fell with blood. The dark cultist who covered his forehead with his hands lowered his head to avoid the angle.
The sword was too high, but it also fell into the trap set by Neo.
Neo was not affected by the fire with his two swords. Now when he saw the opponent, he lowered his head to avoid the sword. He immediately launched his prepared kick and hit him with a flying knee, which hit the dark cultist's head that had not yet been raised.
The head and the front of the knee pads are made of genuine hard black iron. Under the charged impact, the force is so huge. With a muffled sound, the dark cultist's head tilted back violently, causing the entire body to jerk abruptly.
Flying backwards into the air
In the air, Neo, who was exhausted, switched to the other knee. This time, it was not a collision, but a series of blows to the target using the falling force of his own weight. The flying body of the dark cultist had not yet completely hit the ground.
The knee fell and it was already there, bang! There was another muffled sound, but this time it was also mixed with the sound of bone cracking. The dark cultist's chest collapsed, his mouth opened and he spurted blood, and he died instantly.
Ka! In order to ensure that he was fine, Neo stretched out his hand and broke the neck of the dark cultist. He turned to look at the other one, who was only twitching on the verge of death. Then he extinguished the flames on his body and put out the burning stick attached to the short brim of his helmet.
After tearing off the cloth and using the short brim of the helmet and the cloth strips, Neo made a temporary shading device so that he would not be disturbed by the light of the flames. The shading device could effectively block and alleviate the impact of light on vision. Neo also accidentally met a
The assassin wore it, and with his habit of being diligent and inquiring, he finally understood the function of this gadget.
Picking up the weapon, Neo quickly cleaned the battlefield. The Dark Cult's clothes can be used, not just the outer cover. Neo did it more thoroughly. He took off everything he was wearing and threw it into the fire, and then put it on from the inside out.
Got the clothes of one of the dark cultists
Everyone's body odor is different. Neo wanted to use the body odor of this dark cultist to cover himself. Even the furoshiki that wrapped the armor was replaced by the coat of another dark cultist. The corpse was cremated, and the blood on the ground was
Although there was no good way to deal with it, Neo still tried his best to cover it with snow, then put the burning object on top, burned it for a while and then kicked the burning object away. It was cold and freezing, and the melted snow would solidify. With this ice, blood
The smell will be further masked
Before leaving, Neo looked at the work done by the two dark cultists, the wooden cart, and the grain bags.
While pulling off a section of his sleeve and tying it into a tight knot to put some flour in his pocket, Neo thought about the significance of the work done by the dark cultists. It was easy to think of food shortages, and then what? Why not simply burn down the food store?
Still need to ship some of it out?
"Yes, this is not a one-time strike plan. Dark cultists and degenerates will continue to lurk among the people in the future. They need to eat and drink. Moreover, if these foods are used properly, they can buy more slaves for the dark power.
, the rations to survive the severe winter and lean years, sometimes the money to buy your life is so cheap.”
Pushing the cart filled with more than half a cart of grain to an inconspicuous corner, Neo opened the car and quickly left the scene of the incident. With the disguise, it can only be said that it can be better.
Everything has been done, but everything is still far from being fine. Neo has discovered that these dark cultists all work in groups of two. This detail alone has already destined him to be temporarily deceived, and he can use this to launch thunderous means.
, make the obstacles clear. Otherwise, if you give the other party some time, you may be exposed.
Shortly after Neo left, the sound of thumping footsteps sounded, and the Evil Fire Puppet arrived. After a brief inspection, the Evil Fire Puppet first stepped on the frozen snow, letting the flames burn the ground, and the water vapor evaporated, and then
He strode into the blazing fire, grabbed the charred corpse of the dark cultist and started chewing it. Then he walked out of the flames and stood there for a while. Finally, his eyes were locked on the direction of Neo's movement, and he continued to pursue the hunt with a rhythmic pace.
