Chapter 249: Mission Impossible (Two chapters in one)

Ryan finished his observation and rode the trotting wildebeest 'Little Black' down the hillside to the temporary camp of the imperial army in front. Before he arrived, he heard bursts of wailing coming from the tents.

After checking, Ryan entered.

He found that most of the people here were imperial soldiers who were seriously injured in this battle.

At the same time, Ryan also saw the townspeople who were rescued from the ruins of the fishing port town, but the number was very small.

Ryan's mood sank and he asked the soldier beside him: "Are there only a dozen survivors in the fishing port town?"

"Yes, sir." The soldier nodded solemnly.

When they arrived, they found that these sea creatures were so abominable that they almost destroyed an entire town. Some marine creatures were still gnawing on human corpses. The scene was horrible.

As if he remembered something, the soldier said, "Oh, sir, but the sheriff of the fishing port town survived by chance."

"Hmm? The sheriff of the fishing port town? Take me to see him." Ryan's eyes lit up.

He thought there were only a dozen survivors, and the Lehman brothers must have been killed by the blood curse naga.

But he didn't expect that his brother could survive.

This is good news among bad news.

However, it seems that because the other party's injuries are more serious, the bed arranged for Connett is located in the inner part of the camp.

As Ryan walked into the inner tent, he suddenly saw a figure lying in one of the beds. The familiar face was the younger brother of the Lehman brothers - Connett Lehman.

The other party's eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed, and his face was painful, as if he was recalling something.

Ryan looked carefully and found that the other party's right hand had been broken at the elbow, and his chest and abdomen were tied with thick bandages. There were three dark red bloodstains on the bandages that were obviously seeped with blood, but from the position, the heart was missed by chance.

It was a real fluke that he could survive like this.

"Cornet."

Hearing this familiar voice, Cornet's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked over with an unbelievable expression.

The next second, his eyes were red, and he cried with a sobbing voice: "Lord Ryan!"

"Lord Ryan! My brother is dead! Fishing Port Town is finished!"

Seeing a familiar person to talk to, Cornet's tears and snot all came out.

Ryan walked over and held Cornet's only remaining left hand tightly, comforting him: "Cornet! Take good care of your injuries."

For a while, Cornet cried and told Ryan about the sudden attack last night.

Ryan only then knew that when Fishing Port Town was attacked last night, it was almost defenseless, because the fighting power of the Blood Curse Naga was too strong, and the patrolling night watchmen had no time to issue a warning and were killed on the spot.

Even if Cornet and her brother joined forces, they could only resist for less than a minute.

His elder brother Colbert died on the spot, and he passed out due to his severe injuries.

Fortunately, he passed out and was mistakenly thought dead by the Blood Curse Naga, so he was lucky to survive.

The death and injury of the Lehman brothers were unexpected to Ryan.

Before coming, Ryan thought that even if the Lehman brothers were defeated, they should be able to lead some of the elite Night Watchmen to fight and retreat.

But now it seems that the huge gap in strength makes this idea a luxury.

Connet, who calmed down a little, looked at Ryan and asked, "Lord Ryan, why are you here this time..."

"I am going to carry out a mission this time. Which direction do I have to go?"

"The seaside?" Connet's eyes widened.

Ryan nodded.

"Sir, you must be careful. If you go to the seaside, you will definitely encounter the Blood Curse Naga. The strength of this race is really terrible."

"Cornet, can you tell me how you felt when you fought?"

Cornet nodded, as if he was recalling something, with fear faintly revealed in his eyes. He was silent for a while and said, "Power! Their power is really too strong!"

"The other party used the trident to pierce my brother's steel shield with just one blow!"

"The second blow knocked me away, and then the other party stabbed me twice in a row, killing my brother directly, and I was also seriously injured and unconscious!"

"During the whole process, the power displayed by the other party was too terrible!"

Ryan nodded, indicating that he understood.

The ancient race is so powerful.

What skills and combat skills, when the power difference between the two is too large, it is not of much significance.

According to the words of the previous life, it is 'one force defeats ten skills'!

"They are over two meters and five in height, and they are strong. I think even a great knight would not be their opponent in terms of strength."

"If you encounter them, please be careful and use free-range fighting as much as possible. In addition, you must not fight two blood-cursed nagas at the same time." Connet thought for a moment and reminded.

"Thank you, I will be careful."

The Lehman brothers joined forces, and even if it was a great knight, normally they could fight back and forth for several rounds.

But now, after only three or four moves, one of the two brothers died and the other was seriously injured.

This shows that the introduction of the ancient race Blood-cursed Naga in the ancient books is not exaggerated, but a bit conservative.

Its strength is almost a crushing for humans.

As for the method of fighting the enemy, if a normal human great knight wants to defeat the opponent, as Connet said, he basically has to use free-range fighting or siege.

However, Ryan's eyes lit up slightly when he heard what he said

, and an urge to try it ignited in his heart.

Because he happened to be good at strength.

"By the way, does the other side know water magic?" Before leaving, Ryan suddenly thought of a question and turned around to ask again.

"No."

"Of course, maybe it's because we are too weak, and the other side doesn't even bother to use it. Lord Ryan, you still have to be careful." Cornette looked depressed.

He and his brother died and were seriously injured, but they couldn't even find out the enemy's combat effectiveness. It was really a waste.

"Have a good rest, Cornette."

After leaving the camp, Ryan soon came to the front line.

On the front battlefield, he looked around and saw all kinds of strange-looking fishmen, lobstermen and marine creatures, almost densely covering the beach.

Although the enemy had a large number of people, their combat organization efficiency was completely inferior to that of the imperial army, so they could not cause too many casualties to the imperial army.

Although the imperial army was small in number, it was relatively elite.

Therefore, the overall battle situation was in a relatively anxious state.

From time to time, fierce battles broke out on the long line of defense, and after a period of time, they died down again.

Ryan saw from afar that a blood-cursed naga, whose body was obviously much taller than the surrounding murlocs, would cause heavy casualties to the imperial army as soon as it appeared.

At this time, there must be a matching combat force to support it, otherwise, it would often take a large number of casualties to repel the opponent.

The captain of the giant shield crossbowmen at the front line of the battlefield was a senior knight.

He looked at Ryan deeply, although he didn't know what mission the young imperial baron in front of him had to go to the small island ahead.

But he thought about it and felt that it was necessary to remind him.

"Baron Ryan, maybe you don't know. Although the strength of the murlocs is average, look at the dense number." The captain of the giant shield crossbowmen stretched out his hand and pointed to the front.

"When these evil finned fishmen, black gill fishmen and deep sea blue gill fishmen, dozens, or even hundreds of them, surround us, even a human knight will eventually run out of energy."

"The island you want to go to has to break through the opponent's dense defense line."

"And did you see? Behind the group of fishmen, there are several huge creatures, that is the male blood curse naga, and the ferocious sea beasts under the opponent's command."

"The strength of the sea beasts alone is not inferior to that of the knights. As for the ancient race of blood curse naga, Baron Ryan, you may not have fought with them yet, so you don't know how strong they are."

Ryan did not refute.

He just listened quietly.

Because he knew that the captain of the giant shield crossbowmen, who he met for the first time, was actually right.

At least for ordinary knights, it is almost impossible to break through the defense line of the sea people, reach the island and enter the cave.

Even with the cooperation of this giant shield crossbowman.

"Now on the front battlefield, once we encounter the Blood Curse Naga, we will fire flares to let the great knights and wizards of the empire deal with them."

"As for the dense fishmen or marine creatures launching attacks, we mainly rely on the bronze cannons in the rear and the special poison gas provided by the Royal Pharmacist Association for the sea creatures."

"But these means are only relatively lethal to fishmen and lobstermen."

"For the Blood Curse Naga, the opponent's poison resistance is very high, and there is almost no big effect. And the shells are even less likely to hit them directly."

While listening to the introduction, Ryan concentrated on observing.

Although Ryan is not afraid, knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles.

Along the long coastline, there is a Blood Curse Naga in charge every hundred meters.

These Blood Curse Nagas are all males, and there is at least one giant sea snake, mutant hermit crab or large octopus at the level of a ferocious beast around him, giving him a feeling like a tamer.

In addition to the opponent's strong melee ability, the combination of one beast and one person is generally very difficult to deal with and very tricky.

At this time, a high-pitched cry of a griffin was heard in the sky.

A griffin knight in light golden armor quickly landed from the sky, and the other party also saw Ryan in the field.

After all, Ryan's strong black horse with a horn and a dog that was also a ferocious beast were very eye-catching.

"Hey, we met last time. Are you the new sword bearer Ryan?" The person who came was Viscount Felke, the deputy captain of the Munster Griffin Squadron, whom Ryan had met once.

Ryan didn't expect that he would meet him here.

"Hello, Lord Felke." Ryan bowed slightly.

"Are you going to perform a special mission?"

"Yes, I'm going there." Ryan nodded and pointed to the southeast.

Felke's handsome face changed slightly, and he was surprised: "Huh? Maybe you don't know yet, Baron Ryan, I just scouted from the air."

"That place is already the most densely guarded place by the sea tribe. On the island not far away, there is a huge cave that appeared at some point. The sea tribe is extremely guarded."

Ryan nodded to show that he knew.

He had previously used the Eye of the Beast to investigate from the air from the perspective of Blood Feather.

"Baron Ryan, I know you are quite strong."

"But look at the dense number of sea creatures in front of you, and the blood-cursed nagas mixed in. Even I have a headache when I encounter this ancient race."

"Even if you rush to the vicinity of the cave by chance, how much physical strength do you have left to continue to rush into the cave to investigate?"

"Besides, the situation in the cave is unclear. The other party has deployed many fishmen who specialize in casting nets at the entrance of the cave. I tried just now, but I had no chance to check it clearly." "

So, I don't recommend you to go now. Going there now is not much different from committing suicide." Viscount Felke said.

Ryan didn't speak.

Felke was right.

But the problem is that he is on a rescue mission. If the time is delayed too long, once the target mission Alyosha dies, then his mission this time will be meaningless.

In addition, he is different from ordinary knights.

His confidence comes from the 13 remaining attribute points.

Don't forget that every time an attribute point is added, he can restore his peak physical strength.

In other words, he can restore his physical strength thirteen times.

No matter how many enemies there are, they will all become his experience value.

As for being injured?

Let's not talk about whether the opponent can hurt him who has the 'Intermediate Steel Body'. Even if he is injured, he can recover from his injuries with the core skill 'Beast Vitality' as he has the new legendary profession - Beast Sacrifice.

In general, Ryan thinks he can give it a try for tasks that are impossible for others.

"Ryan!"

At this time, a crisp and familiar female voice sounded.

Veronica?

Ryan was stunned when he heard it, and immediately turned his head to look.

Veronica was wearing a light blue robe, waving her hands excitedly not far behind him.

"Veronica, why are you here?"

"Like you, not long after you left Munster, Ryan, I received an urgent assignment from the Sword Bearer Branch. The front line needs a third-level wizard apprentice who specializes in bird reconnaissance."

"So, I came!" Veronica's golden ponytails jumped, and her face was happy.

Obviously, she was very happy to meet Ryan here.

Ryan also smiled.

After a brief greeting, Veronica also knew the destination of Ryan's mission this time.

"Ryan, maybe I can give it a try."

Veronica silently chanted a spell, and seemed to start to control the white seagulls with all her strength.

A flock of dozens of white seagulls began to gather above Veronica's head, and soon, under her command, they flew to the small island not far away.

Just as the white seagulls were about to circle down near the cave, suddenly, a dozen blue-gilled fishmen rushed out and threw the fishing nets in their hands.

Immediately, most of the white seagulls were captured, and only four or five were left, rushing into the cave.

This made Veronica feel distressed.

Fortunately, there were still four or five rushing down.

But within half a minute, Veronica covered her head with her hands, and her pretty face showed pain.

She said with a slightly tired look: "Ryan, all my white seagulls are dead. There is a deep cave inside. My white seagull flew about a hundred meters inside, but I couldn't see the end."

"Although the number of sea creatures inside has decreased a lot, the proportion of blood curse nagas is obviously more than outside. And the fishmen inside are not the ones outside, they are stronger."

"Ryan, I know you are very strong, but maybe you shouldn't take this risk." Veronica looked at Ryan with a worried expression.

Ryan walked up and rubbed Veronica's hair.

"Don't worry, if it really doesn't work, I won't force it."

Veronica stared at Ryan with her watery eyes. After looking at him for a long time, she lowered her head and took out a witchcraft scroll from her waist bag and said:

"This is an invisibility scroll, which can last for about one minute. My mentor left it to me."

"I'm safer here, Ryan, please be sure to take it."

Ryan was startled and immediately thought about it.

If it is used when rushing to the cave entrance, it can avoid being besieged by multiple blood-cursed nagas on the sea tribe's defense line.

After all, he came to rescue this time, and it would be best if he could enter the cave as quietly as possible.

So, Ryan did not refuse, took the scroll, and said, "Thank you, Veronica."

At this time, seeing that Ryan was determined to go, even his "girlfriend" could not persuade him, Viscount Felke shook his head and said,

"Baron Ryan, since you insist, then the goddess of luck can only be on your side."

"If you can get out smoothly, then fire this flare, and I will hold back some of the enemies for you in mid-air."

"Of course, if you unfortunately die, please forgive me. I'm sorry that I can't send anyone to look for your body. So, Baron Ryan, I hope you can think carefully before taking action."

"Thank you." Ryan took the arrow-shaped flare handed to him by Felke.

Obviously, Felke was not optimistic about Ryan's action this time.

After sending out the flare, Felker controlled the griffin to quickly take off and go to do other things.

Ryan left Cookie and Xiao Hei here.

In the sky, there was a blood feather to help him guide the direction, which was enough.

Under the worried or surprised gaze of the crowd, Ryan stepped over the protection of the spiked wooden stakes and walked towards the sea.

In front, dozens of deep-sea blue-gill fishmen, who were much taller than the gray-finned fishmen, were wandering in the shallow sea. The sea water was only up to their knees. They either held steel harpoons or a transparent bottle with pungent blue-green smoke in their hands.

At the same time, there were also a small number of blue-gill fishmen carrying javelins and holding tough fishing nets.

Seeing a human knight in light silver armor slowly walking out of the dense array of humans, they couldn't help but focus their attention on Ryan.

And Ryan slowly pulled out the glimmering giant sword behind him.

He just tapped his toes, and the beach under his feet suddenly exploded with a circle of air, and gravel splashed!

A whistling sound that broke through the air was heard!

Ryan's figure flashed, and he rushed towards the blue-gill fishmen in front of him.

The blue-gill fishmen who saw this scene were immediately furious, shouting and throwing the fishing nets or smoke bomb bottles in their hands at Ryan.

But Ryan's speed was too fast, like an arrow from a string.

These fishing nets had not even had time to get close to him before he was left behind, and the bottles were even more so.

So, many blue-gill fishmen were in a hurry and threw the smoke bomb bottles directly at their companions' feet.

Suddenly, the beach between Ryan and the target island and the shallow sea area of ​​dozens of meters were filled with thick smoke.

And Ryan was like a sharp arrow that could turn, dodging left and right, passing through a group of blue-gilled fishmen in the thick smoke.

After a few seconds, the smoke faded, and Ryan stood at the edge of the island with his sword in both hands, the tip of the sword facing down, and shook off the blue blood stained on the glimmering giant sword

in his hand. There was a dense "thump thump" sound of heavy objects falling to the ground behind him.

A group of elite imperial giant shield crossbowmen holding crossbows looked at the scene in front of them in shock.

Just now, they were about to give Ryan crossbow support, but Ryan's speed was too fast, and they were afraid of accidentally injuring friendly forces, so at this moment they were still holding the crossbows and aiming.

But what they didn't expect was that in just a few blinks of an eye, these dozens of blue-gilled fishmen had all fallen to the ground at this moment, and their deaths were different. Some were beheaded, some were cut in half, and some were split in half vertically.

It seemed that he sensed the sudden disappearance of the life force field of a considerable number of his fishmen followers, which immediately attracted the attention of the male blood-cursed naga who was dozing at the entrance of the cave.

The other party quickly stood up.

This was a male blood-cursed naga over 2.6 meters tall. When he saw the blue-gilled fishmen followers falling behind Ryan, he was immediately furious!

He shouted, twisted his snake body as thick as a bucket, and rushed towards Ryan with a huge violent hermit crab beside him.

The hermit crab carrying a conch several meters high was extremely fast, and a pair of long stalks suddenly stood up, staring at Ryan fiercely.

At the same time, while rushing, it waved its huge claws and clamped twice, looking extremely fierce!

This made everyone, including Veronica, feel nervous again.

Many people couldn't help but shout: "Lord Ryan, be careful!"

Under the captain's command, the giant shield crossbowmen aimed at the violent hermit crab and fired a volley.

Although the hermit crab's route and speed had been predicted in advance, for the violent hermit crab, even if it stood still and let the crossbowmen shoot at it, it would not be able to break its nearly seven or eight centimeters thick shell.

This level of arrow rain was just like a tickle to it.

The violent hermit crab used a giant claw to slightly cover the lower handle eye, and continued to rush straight towards Ryan.

The male blood curse naga showed a cunning look on his face, and rushed towards Ryan at a position five or six meters behind the hermit crab.

At this moment, his upper body held a huge trident made of metal, and he looked like he was accumulating power to sprint.

In the male blood curse naga's expectation, facing the double claw combo of the violent hermit crab under his command, the human knight in front of him, who seemed to be quite strong, would have to stay where he was and resist with all his strength.

At that time, he only needed to jump up and launch a crushing continuous stab with the trident.

It must be possible to catch the opponent off guard with a series of attacks!

Perhaps, if everything goes well, this daring human knight can be killed on the spot!

Thus shocking the human army in front of him.

Who knows, he can also take this opportunity to successfully tear open the defense line of the human army in front of him.

In this way, he will definitely be praised by the chief priest of the tribe.

Thinking of this, a very human smile appeared on his ugly dragon face!

However, suddenly, something surprising happened to him!

The hermit crab in front of him suddenly became bigger.

After a moment of stunned, he realized that it turned out that his hermit crab actually flew back.

Huh?

What's going on?

Half a second ago, Ryan replaced the greatsword with the pig-headed hammer on his back, and confronted the pair of giant claws of the violent hermit crab head-on.

Under the condition of performing the intermediate secret of "Shockwave".

With just one hammer, Ryan's pig-headed hammer smashed the giant claws of the hermit crab in front of him!

At the same time, it also rolled back the opponent's huge body weighing nearly one ton like a cannonball.

Ryan, under the cover of the hermit crab's body, tiptoed, leaving a shadow on the spot, and attacked the blood-cursed naga.

The tall male blood-cursed naga, facing the attacking hermit crab, naturally could not stab it to death, so he could only change the posture of stabbing with power and use the posture of the trident to push the attacking hermit crab aside.

Suddenly, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen!

Looking down, he found a dark hammer with a sharp tip at the front, and then the entire hammer tip had pierced into his waist and abdomen, and a bloody hole was chiseled out.

The shell armor he was proud of.

The tough body like iron.

It seemed like thin paper under this dark iron hammer!

This level of lethality made the male blood-cursed naga panic for no reason!

He endured the severe pain and tried to swing the trident in his hand to stab Ryan.

However, due to the severe injury to his waist, his strength was not as strong as he imagined. Ryan blocked his attack with a heavy hammer.

This was something that the Blood Curse Naga did not expect again.

The opponent was so strong.

In his cognition, even if he was seriously injured, it was impossible for this "dwarf" human in front of him to pick up this stabbing attack so easily.

The next second, Ryan used the intermediate secret "Shock Wave" again.

This time, it directly hit the forehead of the male Blood Curse Naga who was not in a hurry to dodge!

"Bang!" A crisp sound!

It seemed that because of the excessive shock force, the whole head of the Blood Curse Naga exploded, and white, red and some sticky tissues splashed around, forming a radial fan-shaped area.

The Blood Curse Naga, who was 2.6 meters tall, shook his strong body twice and fell to the ground with a bang!

At this time, the entire battle had only lasted less than ten seconds since it began!

A blood-cursed naga that was even stronger than a senior human knight died in Ryan's hands.

The giant shield crossbowmen on the coast couldn't help but look at each other in surprise!

And Veronica also covered her mouth excitedly. She always thought that Ryan was very powerful, but she didn't expect him to be so powerful!

It seems that during this time in Munster, Ryan's strength has improved again.

But soon, her heart was hanging again!

Because the battle on the island has attracted the attention of the surrounding sea creatures.

At this moment, a large group of fishmen, lobstermen and four or five male blood-cursed nagas rushed towards Ryan from all directions!

The cave was right in front of Ryan.

Looking at the sea creatures rushing in from all directions, Ryan took out the invisibility scroll given by Veronica from his arms, tore it directly, and the whole person disappeared from the spot.
