Chapter 278: Crush (Two chapters in one)
"Ding! Ding!"
The two women were seen fighting fiercely in the center of the training room.
Uh... Ryan was slightly stunned!
Because Alexandra didn't look ferocious at all at this moment, and she didn't use the standard force at all. When she swung her one-handed hammer, it was so powerful!
Although Claire had just entered the Great Knight, her Arcadian swordsmanship had also entered a stronger level, so she didn't panic at all when dealing with it.
Ryan keenly discovered that Claire's Arcadian swordsmanship was slightly different from the Arcadian swordsmanship he used.
It seemed that his sword was more tricky at the angle and more powerful.
After thinking about it for a while, Ryan felt that this should be the reason why the Arcadian swordsmanship absorbed the advantages of the Giant Bear Swordsmanship and improved it after the two swordsmanships merged.
However, this improvement or gap is not big, at most it can be regarded as a small increase.
"Blade Storm!"
Claire was spinning like a gyroscope, and a strong whirlwind swept around.
Ryan didn't expect that Claire would actually use the secret of Arcadia swordsmanship, 'Blade Storm'!
"Dang!!"
Although Alexandra blocked it with her shield, she was pushed back four or five steps.
Just when Ryan was thinking about stopping the competition between the two, Claire smiled and said, "Ms. Alexandra, thank you for your advice."
"Ms. Claire is indeed a top student of the Imperial Royal Academy. She has just entered the Great Knight and has mastered the secret." Alexandra's face was a little unnatural.
Soon, the two women started chatting enthusiastically again.
Ryan was a little stunned.
The relationship between these two women was really confusing!
In fact, if Shadiya was next to her, she would naturally see the purpose of her young lady at a glance. This was an act of expressing strength and claiming sovereignty.
At this time, suddenly, a strange vibration came from the air, which seemed to be the aftermath of some powerful energy impact.
Ryan frowned, and suddenly realized what was going on. He immediately moved to the window and looked east.
In the distance, a long and thin beam of light shot straight into the sky!
"This direction is..."
"Towards the fishing port town! Could it be because of the gate there?" Ryan muttered to himself.
Ryan's abnormality naturally aroused the curiosity of the two women, and they couldn't help but look in the direction of Ryan's sight. Even Claire, who was always calm, showed horror.
At this time, a low but frightening roar came from the direction of the light column.
Although the sound was not loud due to the distance, it was unusually clear!
"That's over there in the fishing port town, Sir Ryan, could there be something wrong there?" Alexandra suddenly thought of something and immediately turned to look at Ryan.
Ryan shook his head and said, "I don't know, it's possible. But I think we will know the situation soon."
Claire quickly regained her composure and said, "Don't worry, the empire has stood for so many years, it will not be without support."
Ryan nodded.
What Claire said was not without reason. She studied at the Imperial Royal Academy and should have learned a lot of the empire's secrets.
However, Ryan still trusted his own strength the most.
Such a long distance, and such a strong power, the power of this power was beyond Ryan's cognition.
At least, up to now, he has not seen such a powerful witchcraft, evil magic or divine magic.
"Although 'Sea Tide Piercer' Rulgatz is powerful, it is still far from the power of this beam of light. It can be said that it is not on the same level." "
Otherwise, I would not be able to come back that time."
"I hope it is not the sea clan that has gained the advantage"
"It seems that I still have to find a way to improve my strength!" Ryan thought to himself.
In a few minutes, including Langer from the Blade Squad and the Undersecretary of Affairs Olena, they all found Ryan.
Less than half an hour later, a griffin knight landed on the open space in the garden and revealed the answer.
"Sir Olena, according to the order of Admiral Forbes, the previously seconded 'Earthshaker' Clefttooth Bear Squad needs to rush to the front line of Fishing Port Town immediately."
"Has anything happened on the front line?" Olena couldn't help but look worried and said.
The knight looked around, and seemed to be keeping it secret or considering something else, and just said: "The losses on the front line are not small, but the losses of the sea tribe are even greater."
Although the griffin knight didn't say it clearly, at least everyone was relieved.
After watching the Clefttooth Bear Squad including Alexandra leave, Olena looked apologetic and turned around and said:
"I'm sorry, Sir Ryan, Miss Claire. This situation."
"It's okay, Sir Olena, of course the front line is important." Ryan waved his hand and said.
But in this case, the arrangements have to be adjusted.
——Deep
in the Elim Mine.
In front of the Ancient Temple.
"Sir, the Ancient Temple is still sealed. How do you think we can break the amber wall?" A Black Flame monk who came forward to investigate frowned and reported back.
He had just tried several attacks, but neither the Black Flame Fireball nor the Mace could cause significant damage to the amber wall.
Freeman stared at the amber wall with his sharp eyes and quickly thought of a solution.
Unlike the sealed earth snake, after the earth snake awakened, it was equivalent to destroying the amber barrier with almost exhausted energy from the inside, so it was easier.
But here, the amber barrier needs to be broken from the outside, but this is quite difficult.
"Use the power-gathering magic array."
"Yes, Lord Freeman!" Several Black Flame monks were delighted. Their master said this, and it was obvious that he was certain.
The power-gathering magic array can infuse the black flame power of the other few people into one person, thereby greatly increasing the power of the attack.
Several people quickly cleaned the ground, and then began to draw the magic array pattern, place items, and so on.
A few minutes later, five Black Flame monks, including Freeman, stood at the five corners of the reverse pentagram magic array, with Freeman at the front, the position closest to the amber wall.
The next second, several people chanted at the same time.
The other four Black Flame monks spread their hands upwards, and a fist-sized black flame appeared out of thin air.
Freeman raised his right hand and extended his index finger. Half a meter above his fingertips, a black flame python was constantly growing and circling in the air!
In an instant!
The black flame fireballs at the four points rose into the air one after another, and the black flame python swallowed them one by one.
The whole body of the python also expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a strong energy wave spread out.
"Go!"
Freeman pointed his right index finger at the amber wall and shouted calmly.
The black flame python, which was as thick as a bucket, crashed into the amber wall.
"Boom!"
The translucent amber wall was shattered in an instant!
A large hole was revealed that could accommodate one person, and the remaining amber around the hole was still being corroded by the black flame and continued to expand.
The black flame monks, including Freeman, smiled and walked in impatiently.
The empty hall of the temple still maintained the scene of the amber barrier in ancient times.
Various panicked black flame monks kept running, shouting, or praying, but they were all wrapped in amber.
Although everyone's face was lifelike, Freeman knew that these people were already hopeless. Once they shattered the amber, the other party would also be shattered instantly.
The only one who could possibly survive was the person in the ellipsoidal blood-colored giant egg with a diameter of about three meters on the altar in front.
Freeman and a group of Black Flame monks observed for a while and focused their attention on the blood-colored giant egg.
A Black Flame monk couldn't help but ask excitedly: "Lord Freeman, is the ancient hero Lord Mung in this giant egg?"
"Well, according to the whisper of God at the Black Flame prayer ceremony, it should be here." Freeman nodded.
At the last Black Flame prayer ceremony, he was pleasantly surprised to find that the great God of Hunting gave him a little extra information, which was the whisper of God that the ancient hero Earth Snake was resurrected.
He immediately understood!
This location should be in the province of Munster, otherwise, the God of Hunting would not pass the information to him.
After searching and looking up ancient books for almost a month, he luckily found this place, but the entrance was blocked by the Earth Snake.
Because if the amber barrier is to be broken, the Earth Snake is likely to wake up.
Not to mention whether the legendary 'Earth Snake' can be defeated, once the opponent goes crazy, it is possible that the adjacent ancient temple will be damaged, leading to unpredictable situations.
After careful consideration, Freeman decided to spread the news of the legendary 'Earth Snake' to the Secret Snake Cult.
Now it seems that everything is going according to his plan.
Thinking of this, Freeman couldn't help but smile.
"Arrange the blood source ceremony to awaken the ancient hero Monger."
"Yes!"
This blood source ceremony is much more complicated than the previous gathering evil magic array. The group of Black Flame monks spent several hours to finally get it done. On the vertex of each pentagram, there is a bone staff more than half a meter long.
And on the top of the bone staff, there is a diamond-shaped crystal with an extremely rich blood color.
Each crystal contained a thousand units of human blood essence, which was also the result of the blood sacrifice of Laxul and his men in the recent period.
"The sleeping place of the great hunting god, the ancient hero Monger"
As Freeman sang in a low voice
, the five diamond-shaped crystals burst into dazzling blood light!
The next second, five blood-colored light beams poured into the giant egg in the center of the ceremony!
After a while, the giant egg underwent a strange change. The originally wrinkled surface became round at this moment, and a strange sucking sound of "gulp gulp" emerged in everyone's heart.
A terrifying breath suddenly spread out, and in an instant, the sucking accelerated!
I saw five diamond-shaped crystals suddenly exploded!
A huge amount of blood light was instantly absorbed by the giant egg, and then a strong and powerful pulse sounded in the giant egg.
"Crack!"
A skinny hand that looked like a corpse stretched out from the giant egg!
This scene naturally made the surrounding Black Flame monks look surprised!
You know, if the ancient hero Munger is converted according to the current combat power, he is a strong man above the title knight. With the addition of the other party, the entire situation of the church will change greatly.
"Blood (ancient common language)" A dull word that seemed to be coming from the chest came out of the blood egg.
This made Freeman frown!
Is 5,000 units of blood essence not enough?
Or is it that most of it is the blood of ordinary people, and the grade is too poor?
Immediately, he turned his head and looked at a Black Flame monk, and said, "Blanchard, go forward and check it out."
"Yes, sir!" The Black Flame monk named Blanchard was very excited at this time, and he didn't think much and walked forward directly.
As he got closer and closer,
the next second!
The dry arm suddenly stretched nearly twice as long, and pierced Blanchard's heart with lightning speed.
"Lord Freeman, save me"
Before the last word "I" was finished, Blanchard, who was comparable to a formal knight, died!
In just a few seconds, Blanchard's young face had become extremely withered, and the whole person looked like a corpse!
And there were dozens of blood lines on the dry arm, transporting Blanchard's blood essence to the torso!
This scene naturally made the other Black Flame monks look horrified, and they quickly stepped back!
"Lord Monger, we are not enemies, we are also believers of the great hunting god!" Freeman looked thoughtful and shouted quickly in the ancient common language.
The withered arm paused for a moment, and after a while, a tall figure over two and a half meters tall climbed out of the dome!
The other person was wearing a metal mask, so his face could not be seen clearly. The skin on his limbs was withered, revealing his strong muscles and tendons.
What attracted people's attention was his red hair like a lion's mane, and the huge war hammer in his right hand.
The hammer head was square, a rectangular piece of metal, with blue on the left and right sides, and complicated blue and white stripes on the hammer handle.
"Is this the holy weapon - the Sky Breaker?" Freeman stared at the war hammer and muttered to himself.
-
At the same time.
At one end of the newly dug tunnel underground.
Laxul had summoned nearly twenty Black Flame monks and about ten Black Flame Guardians, along with the High Priest of the Secret Snake Cult, Ganon, and followed the huge earth snake that was constantly digging behind.
"Sir Cannon, it seems that the speed is faster than expected!"
"Yes, it is expected to arrive at the designated location before 2 pm, which is nearly twelve hours faster than previously estimated."
Cannon was also surprised at the strong digging ability of the earth snake, which was beyond his expectations.
At this time, a Black Flame monk came hurriedly to report, "Lord Bloodburner! News has come from the spies and insiders in Meister County City."
"Well, how is the investigation going?"
"The spy said that the Imperial Griffin Squadron patrols over the county city every hour."
"The insider said that at present, the mansion of Earl Habsburg is the opponent's defense focus. Including that Ryan, a total of nine great knights are concentrated, and they all seem to be from special departments of the empire."
"But because the other party deliberately concealed it, it is impossible to judge their origins."
After hearing the news, Laxul nodded and said:
"So, if the time is chosen appropriately, if we attack the Earl's mansion, the fastest support from the other party will not arrive until an hour later?"
"Yes, sir."
The two of them naturally ignored ordinary combat forces such as security guards, night watchmen and city guards, because they were too weak.
At this time, the High Priest of the Secret Snake Cult, Ganon, said: "As long as there is no combat power at the level of the title knight, the number is meaningless in front of the ancient legendary species 'Earth Snake'."
"In this case, perhaps we can change the arrangement a little." Laxul seemed to have thought of something, his eyes flickered.
He continued:
"For example, at noon, in full view of the public, kill all the high-end combat power of the Empire in the mansion of Count Habsburg!"
"In this way, perhaps, we can also gain a lot of nobles and civilians' faith in our religion!" Laxul said with a smile.
"I don't have any problems on my side." Ganon was slightly stunned when he heard it. He didn't expect the other party to propose such a plan.
But for him, it didn't make much difference.
Moreover, launching the attack early can also avoid accidents. If Holden was executed in the afternoon, and he launched the attack at night, it would be a pity.
"Then I will trouble you, Mr. Ganon." Laxul couldn't help laughing.
At this time, the Black Flame monk who had just reported came back and said, "Lord Bloodburner, five great knights from the other side left the Earl's Mansion and seemed to be heading to the fishing port town."
"It seems that the pressure on the front line of the Empire is very high, and these five people were mobilized for support."
"Huh?" Laxuel really didn't expect such a change to happen.
"What a pity! They escaped." Ganon said regretfully.
"Yeah, this is a bit boring, it has become a crushing situation," Laxuel also said with regret.
-
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
The residence of Earl Habsburg.
Suddenly, the greyhound war dog Cookie, who was taking a nap on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes wide, stood up straight, and barked wildly.
Cookie's barking naturally alarmed Ryan in the training room!
Immediately, Ryan flashed out and stood at the door of the main building of the villa.
Soon, he felt that the entire main building of the villa was shaking slightly, and the vibration was getting more and more intense!
Ryan looked through the gate and saw a huge bulge with a diameter of seven or eight meters suddenly rising from the ground in the garden. Dozens of guards holding swords and shields surrounded it very quickly.
But the next second!
"Boom!" A loud noise!
Dozens of tons of soil gushed out, and a huge monster that looked like an earthworm but hundreds of times larger drilled out of the ground, with a hideous mouth. Dozens of guards around were like being attacked by a mudslide, and were instantly knocked away or buried!
And all the windows of the main building of the three-story villa were instantly blown apart by the strong airflow!
Ryan narrowed his eyes, stretched out his left hand, and the hardened fine gold instantly transformed into a tower shield, blocking the splashing mud.
When the smoke and dust dissipated, there was a large hole with a diameter of four or five meters on the ground. The monster had disappeared, as if it had retreated underground.
In front of him, dozens of monks in black robes came out of the underground passage!
The other side took advantage of the guards' lack of consciousness and immediately launched an attack.
The level of these black flame monks, the lowest of them is at the level of knights, and they can cast black flame fireballs. Once they fought, except for a few guards with good strength who could resist one or two, most of them collapsed at the first touch!
Ryan's eyes were fixed on two of them.
One of them held a snake staff and had a metal snake ring on his lips. From the shape, it was obvious that he was a member of the Secret Snake Cult. This should be the high priest of the Secret Snake Cult, Ganon.
The other had a blood-red flame mark on his forehead. It was most likely that he was the "Blood Burner" Laxul of the Black Flame Cult.
Judging from the respectful attitude of the other Black Flame monks towards the two men and their positions, the two men were the absolute core.
Just as he had expected, the two cults were indeed colluding with each other.
Laxul originally wanted Ganon to directly control the earth snakes to drill out from the underground of the villa and directly destroy the main villa of Earl Habsburg's mansion, but Ganon refused.
After all, Holden was likely to be imprisoned in the main villa, and Ganon still wanted to rescue him.
Such a big commotion naturally alarmed everyone in the mansion. Claire and the three members of the Blade Squad quickly guarded the door of Earl Habsburg's room according to the previous agreement with Ryan.
"What just happened was." Frye was still shocked, thinking about the giant just now.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the ancient legendary species 'Earth Snake'!" Claire said with a serious face.
"Didn't they say it was extinct? How could there be such a thing?" Alex seemed to know about earth snakes and couldn't help but wonder.
"Perhaps you should pay attention to those two guys first." Captain Langer said in a deep voice.
Whether it is Ganon or Laxul, they are considering their identities and will not go down to fight immediately.
In addition, they also have to observe the combat effectiveness of several people on Ryan's side, so as not to capsize in the gutter.
Among the Black Flame monks, there are also Black Flame Guardians at the level of Great Knights. When they saw Ryan at the gate of the villa, several people rushed up immediately and raised their hands to shoot several Black Flame fireballs.
Facing the attacking black flames, Ryan moved his feet slightly and easily dodged.
Then, Ryan's chest was seen bulging like a balloon, and the veins on his neck were bulging. The next second, his mouth opened wide!
"Roar!!!"
A deafening sound wave, mixed with white air waves, swept around like a tsunami!
Suddenly, the four Black Flame Guardians within 20 to 30 meters around Ryan froze in place with a look of astonishment, and the spells that were half-recited naturally stopped halfway.
Not only did the skin of the face get severely deformed by the shock wave, but the eardrum was instantly ruptured, and the head was like being hit by a hammer!
"Pah! Pah!"
Before they could react, they felt that it was dark and they lost consciousness.
In the vision of Claire and others, they saw it clearly.
After Ryan's sonic attack, he rushed towards the four people quickly. In almost one second, he used the war hammer to smash the heads of several people!
On the field.
Almost transparent human-shaped phantoms appeared from the body of the Black Flame Guardian who had just died, and their faces showed pain.
Then, four transparent phantoms, like rivers flowing into the sea, dragged long transparent phantoms, struggled to circle Ryan's body several times, and rushed into the white miniature skull war hammer in his hand! For
a while, this weird scene surprised both sides of the battle, and many people stopped their actions!
"Hey! Isn't it said to be a metal wizard? Why does it look like a necromancy witchcraft?"
The scene just now made both of them slightly absent-minded! However, the scene of the dead souls was too eye-catching. After the High Priest of the Secret Snake Cult, Ganon, came to his senses, he couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"This..." Laxul was silent for a while!
