Chapter 428: "Four Horsemen" Total Destruction and Capture Operation
Bang!
The black spear pierced through the rain curtain and collided with a black, heavy shield half a person's height.
With a "click".
The black curse energy spread across the surface of the shield, rapidly spreading and cracking with the tip of the gun as the center, like broken glass falling from the surface of the shield.
"……kindness?"
Lenas paused as she gripped the spear, her blue eyes flashing.
"Hahaha!" Without moving the shield in front of him, he raised his rough eyebrows and laughed loudly:
"To counter your equipment-destroying methods, I've coated the shield with several layers of metal membrane, though it's considerably heavier."
He was breathing heavily, and although there was pride in his voice, his eyes were full of solemnity.
I originally thought that in a two-on-one situation, with the power of the Rotten Wolf entering the "Heroic Realm", it would not be difficult to deal with the imperial traitor Lenas.
Who would have thought that this woman's strength was completely different from the information they had received!
Snap!
Another crisp sound.
This time it comes from the black spear in Renas's hand. The ability of [Cursed Knight] can not only destroy the opponent's props, but also affect its own props.
"Now!" Budong widened his eyes, opened his mouth and roared.
"Power up, physical up, shield blast!"
Veins bulged on his motionless arms, his thick neck was tense, and he raised two half-human-high shields to block his chest.
Boom!
The ground beneath my feet shook.
Budong transformed into a black bull and rushed towards Lenas.
at the same time.
The nimble figure of the Rotten Wolf also turned into a shadow at this moment: "Water acceleration, hard attack, whirlwind kick!"
Attack from front and back!
Two figures appeared in front of Lenas in an instant, with cold murderous intent surging in them.
"Dark wave!" Lenas shouted.
Swish!
The black curse energy spread rapidly with itself as the center.
Budong and Fulang, who came to attack, were the first to sense this dark energy. Before they could react, their bodies suddenly froze in place!
——Wow!
Renas's eyes were cold. She grasped the cracked black spear with her backhand, exerted force with her arm, and suddenly threw it at the motionless head.
"Move your body!!!"
He didn't show any fear, but his whole body had lost control as he tried to dodge, making him unable to move at all.
Bang!
The black light mixed with the power of curse first shattered the magic helmet, and then the motionless head exploded in the air like a burst watermelon.
While swinging the spear.
Renas turned around, looked at the Rot Wolf, and activated the magic item pendant on her chest: "Flame Beam!"
Swish!
A blazing beam of light was released from the pendant of "Fiery Thorn Hair", transforming into a straight laser-like ray.
“Get out of the way!” The Rotten Wolf’s eyes were about to burst, and under the breath of death, his stiff body tilted to the left at this moment.
Blood blooms!
The rotten wolf's right arm flew out and was engulfed in flames and exploded in mid-air.
"I want you to die!" The Rotten Wolf's face was distorted. The moment he realized that his body's perception had recovered, he turned into a shadow and disappeared from the spot.
"……not good."
Lenas' pupils shrank, and the rotten wolf appeared in front of her.
"Heavy Whirlwind Kick!"
Powerful legs kicked down hard.
Suddenly, a light red barrier was released from the "Fiery Thorn Temple" pendant to form a protective shield, blocking the full force attack of the rotten wolf.
whoosh!
"Die!" Renas took out a foldable black spear from the magic belt and pierced the body of the rotten wolf.
Plop!
The red blood mixed with rain water dripped down the gun barrel from the palm of Lenas's hand holding the gun, looking at the rotten wolf with unwilling eyes.
"I won." Lenas said breathlessly, with admiration in her eyes.
This is a strong man in the field of "hero". In terms of strength alone, he is above her, but the winner is the winner, and the loser has only one consequence.
Reina's tense nerves relaxed, and she suddenly felt an inexplicable force surging in her body, and the vague bottleneck was broken at this moment!
The other side.
“Hu…Hu…” Blood was oozing from the corner of Gazef’s mouth, his chest heaving as he held the razor blade at his feet.
They lie respectively on the lightning and the fierce wind.
The "Four Knights of the Empire" are all destroyed!
——Middle Fire Moon.
August 15th, intermission.
Night falls.
The entire fortress city of E-Rantel was immersed in a cheerful atmosphere.
Over the years.
The kingdom has always been at a disadvantage in the clashes between the kingdom and the empire. Every autumn, due to the malicious harassment of the empire, the villages on the border are unable to harvest crops normally.
No one expected that such great results would be achieved this time.
Even the mayor Panasole sat in his mayor's mansion for half an hour in a daze when he received the news.
This was a major event that had never happened in the entire Kingdom of Re-Estize in recent decades. The famous "Four Horsemen" of the Bahas Empire were completely wiped out.
Even captured thousands of imperial soldiers!
If the "Warrior-Captain Legion" and the "Crimson Rose Legion" had not also suffered heavy losses, the number of captured soldiers would have been even greater.
But these are just small things!
"We must report this matter in detail to His Majesty the King!"
Mayor Panasole happily paced around the room. "As for the captured soldiers... we can ask the Empire for bail."
“Puff, hahahaha!”
Panasole laughed unconsciously. This time he could just ask for a huge sum of money and make up for all the losses in one go.
Ding! Ding!
There was a gentle knock on the door.
"Please come in." Panasole suppressed his inner excitement, sat back in the meeting room, and spoke with a smile.
Normally, he didn't like being disturbed at this time, but today he was happy enough to make an exception.
The door was pushed open cautiously.
A middle-aged blond butler, dressed elegantly, walked in from outside.
"What's up?"
"Sir, the envoy of the Silian Theocracy has arrived." The butler lowered his head and spoke respectfully.
The Theocracy?
Panasole's fat cheeks trembled and he narrowed his eyes.
now.
As the entire city reveled in this great victory, a beleaguered group of adventurers silently entered E-Rantel.
This group of adventurers is the expedition team!
The reason why we quietly entered the city at night was that we had to do so.
When they were fighting against the "unknown plant monster", too many people knew that once the news of their failure spread, it would inevitably cause great chaos.
so.
In order to avoid attracting attention, [Cang Qiangwei] and his group returned to the city under the cover of night.
Golden Shining Pavilion.
This is a first-class luxury hotel with a long history. It usually entertains nobles and wealthy merchants. Currently, the adventurer expedition team is staying here.
In a clean and spacious room.
"Perpetual light" illuminates the entire room from the hanging lamps on the ceiling.
Evileye sat on the sofa, silent.
Gegelan had bandages on his chest and left arm, and he was sitting on the red sofa on the other side in a carefree manner, but he didn't look very happy.
Tina and Tia were not injured and were leaning against the wall on both sides.
"Is she okay?" Tia glanced at Enri who was sleeping on the sofa, with a hint of worry in her voice.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to care about others."
Gegelan laughed teasingly: "Don't worry, he's just fainted from exhaustion. That kind of explosive strength...hiss, it's really terrifying."
"It is normal to have this kind of debilitating effect."
Even so.
When Geglan thought of the terrifying power that Enri would unleash, he felt a chill in his heart and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.
If it weren't for Enri, the number of people who would have survived the entire expedition would probably be no more than the size of a handful.
"Little one, can you guess the level of that monster?"
Gagran turned his head and asked seriously.
"The lowest is around 200..." Evileye remained silent, then spoke slowly in a rare solemn tone, "Perhaps only a race as powerful as the Dragon King could withstand it."
Speaking of this.
Evileye couldn't help but cast her gaze upon the unconscious Enri. That kind of "outburst" was definitely not normal.
It doesn't seem like a power that humans can control at all!
The others subconsciously looked at Enri again.
The air returned to silence.
Tia and the others wanted to say "impossible", but after actually seeing that incomprehensible existence, they realized that what Evileye said was the truth.
"It's so scary!" Gegelan grinned and uttered a few words after a while.
"asshole!"
Tia crossed her arms, her fingers pinching her arms tightly. "Why would a monster like that exist in the Tob Forest? I've never heard of it before."
"Once that monster leaves Tob Forest, the entire kingdom will be in danger of destruction!"
The suppressed sound of fear slowly echoed in the room.
That is something that humans cannot contend with at all!
Not only the kingdom, I'm afraid other countries will also be at risk of destruction.
"Even if we gather all the adamantite-level adventurers from all the countries, we won't be able to defeat them," Tina said in a low voice.
"No...you can't fight!"
The red pupils behind Evileye's mask flickered, and she silently thought, "We can fight with the power of the Dragon King."
"That monster is indeed powerful, but it is far inferior to the Black True Dragon King I once saw."
pity.
She has been activating the magic mark on her body for some time, but has never received a response from the Dragon King. She doesn't know what the Dragon King is busy with.
"I hope the Devil Leader will gain something."
Gagran sighed softly.
After they returned, Lakyus went to find the mayor and the president of the Adventurer's Guild to report the intelligence.
Late at night, 10:21.
Footsteps sounded from outside the corridor.
Gegelan and the others, who were not sleepy at all, immediately looked towards the door. As the door opened,
Lakyus walked in from outside with a tired and confused look on his face.
"How about it, Devil Leader!"
Gagran straightened his back and looked at Lakyus expectantly: "What measures will the Adventurer's Guild take?"
"Don't do anything." Lakyus.
"kindness?"
Everyone was confused.
"Tomorrow, the Adventurer's Guild will announce to the outside world that we have defeated the monsters in the Tob Great Forest."
A mocking smile flashed across Lakyus's emerald eyes, and he shrugged his shoulders.
"Anyway, it means it's been resolved. We'll publicize it along with the good news of our victory in the Kingdom-Empire War."
"They are crazy!" Gegelan suddenly stood up from the sofa with his eyes wide open.
"ha?"
Tina was also incredulous. "That's a monster that could destroy a nation. Even the most foolish wouldn't make such a decision!"
Evileye raised her head awkwardly when she heard the words "annihilation of the nation," and spoke in a neutral voice:
"Have you found a solution?"
The words hit the point!
Panasole and Ainzach were not foolish people, nor were they the type to turn a blind eye to danger.
"kindness."
Lakyus nodded. "The Silian Theocracy has already intervened. To prevent unnecessary chaos and trouble, they're announcing their victory."
"The Adventurer's Guild Master and the City Mayor have also agreed to the Theocracy's plan. All I know is that the Theocracy should have intelligence on that monster and a way to deal with it."
Lakyus's slender arms hung at his sides, looking decadent and unwilling.
"The legacy of the six gods?" Evileye mused.
"hateful!"
Tina curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "I always feel that the people of the Church look down on me."
"That's right, that's right!"
Tia nodded vigorously in agreement: "It sounds like you're helping, but it's more like looking down from a higher position.
"Devil leader, cheer up."
Gagran comforted.
"I always feel a little unwilling." Lakyus raised his head again, clenched his fists and encouraged himself.
August 16th.
Early in the morning, 4:11.
The night was as dark as ink. On the top floor of the Golden Shining Pavilion Hotel, a team of thirteen people, wrapped in black robes, left the hotel quietly.
Clementine was walking at the back, and suddenly she paused and turned her head to look at a room in the hotel at the back.
"whee."
Clementine licked her tongue and grinned.
Is it a group of adventurers?
Anyone with keen perception could easily notice that kind of gaze, it was just that she turned her head back on purpose.
The rest of the [Black Scripture] didn't care at all.
Clementine turned her head again and happened to meet the eyes of the "Four Elements" who were also walking behind her, and then they looked away.
"It's getting more and more interesting." Clementine's eyes were curved like the moon, and the corners of her mouth were raised on both sides.
Behind the glass window of a hotel room.
Lakyus and Evileye stood in the dark room, watching the team disappear into the darkness through the window.
“It’s terrifying…”
Lakyus's clear emerald eyes narrowed slightly, and his pink lips parted as he made a startled comment.
It was clearly separated by the night.
Lakyus could still sense that as this mysterious team moved, the air around them seemed to be distorted by an invisible force.
As an adamantite-class adventurer, she has fought off many powerful monsters and demihumans over the years, but her excellent intuition allows her to be aware of all the opponents she has encountered before.
No one can compare to that group of people!
A group of strong people of this level would never belong to a weak organization.
"...The Theocracy." Lakyus muttered to himself.
"oh?"
“Hmph.”
"What are you two looking at?"
The voices of Gagran, Tia, and Tia were heard one after another.
