Chapter 379 Action
"Title 'Storm Cloud'?" Ryan thought.
You know, a title is not something that can be called randomly, whether it is a title, a title or a nickname.
For example, Ryan's previous nickname 'Meist Battering Ram' at least shows that Ryan is good at using a war hammer and has great strength.
In addition, epic-level strongmen are all given titles.
Although there is only one word difference from the title, the meaning is very different.
"The mount of the dragon knight Pantos Kirk is a green dragon named Hazas. Although it is only a young dragon, the acid breath of this green dragon is particularly powerful. Even the splashing acid mist is very corrosive."
"In addition, it also has the innate ability to release 'Sleeping Poison Cloud', which is very difficult to deal with. The origin of the title of Storm Cloud is also because of the other party's talent."
"As for the other situation, I don't know much." Harlowen said with a serious face.
"I see." Ryan nodded.
He knew that what Harlowen told him was actually an imperial secret.
After all, once the detailed combat power information of the Imperial Guardians is leaked, it will be easy for the enemy to target them in a specific way.
Only the eldest son of the Duke, such as Harlowen, has special channels to know these situations.
The next morning.
The mission hall of the Sword Bearer Headquarters was bustling with people.
"Huh? Beyonce, look, there is a recruitment information for a fine gold-level sword bearer here! Great!"
A blue-robed female wizard looked at the information on the wisdom slate in the center of the hall, and immediately turned to a hot leather-armored woman next to her, and said in surprise.
"Don't be happy too early. Claire, you are only at the level of magic iron. Even if you sign up, I'm afraid others will not look down on you." The leather-armored woman named Beyonce immediately poured a basin of cold water on the blue-robed female wizard and said.
"Huh! That's not necessarily true."
"Huh? It was suspended yesterday. How come no one has signed up after a day?" The blue-robed female wizard Claire approached and found that the situation seemed a little wrong.
At this time, a young man wearing knight armor seemed to know the two women and whispered, "Haven't you heard about it?"
"It is said that this Ryan picked up a big leak during a mission, and then, after some operation of his connections, he was promoted to the adamantium level."
"Huh? How could the headquarters allow such an operation?" The blue-robed female wizard Claire's beautiful eyes widened, obviously a little unbelieving.
She and Beyonce were both promoted from local branches.
Although they knew that there were secret operations in many places in the empire, they always felt that such a situation should rarely happen in a special combat department like the Sword Bearer.
"Really, others are saying it, otherwise, why do you think a adamantium-level sword bearer recruits no one?"
In order to keep the strength and safety of their own team members confidential, the Sword Bearer Organization keeps the specific mission records of each person confidential, so Claire and the others cannot see Ryan's resume or mission records.
This is like Ryan's previous life, even if the drug enforcement police were commended, they all wore masks to receive the award, or took faceless photos to avoid retaliation.
The same goes for sword bearers, especially those who have killed high-ranking cult members.
"This" This question hit Claire's heart.
Although she was anxious to join a team of a fine gold-level sword bearer, the problem was that if it was true as the rumors said, this Ryan was a relative who was not strong enough.
Then it would be a disaster in the subsequent mission execution!
You know, the former captain of the team, who was so strong, could not do it.
"However, if it is a strong fine gold-level sword bearer, once he recruits team members, I, who am a magic iron-level, basically have no chance at all." "Beyoncé
,
let's try!" Claire's beautiful eyes flashed a trace of determination, and she said to Beyoncé beside her.
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the third day.
When Ryan came to a reserved room in the mission hall and met with the sword bearers who were interested in joining his team, he was stunned as soon as he entered the door.
Because there were too few people, even the quota of five people was not filled.
"Hmm? Just four people?"
Ryan looked around and frowned.
Logically speaking, with the flow of people he saw in the headquarters' mission hall, it was impossible that there would not be even five people who signed up in three days.
In particular, he also heard that the sword-bearing captains at all levels at the headquarters had suffered heavy losses recently.
In other words, there are fewer captains and more team members now.
The situation on his side was too abnormal.
However, the three women and one man in front of him were all handsome men and beautiful women.
Ryan had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu of the bar recruitment atmosphere group in his previous life.
"Hey, Beyonce, this captain Ryan looks quite handsome." Claire whispered to Beyonce beside her.
"What's the use of being handsome? If you are not strong, it's better to be ugly but strong." Beyonce said speechlessly.
As for Mia and Chandler, they actually wanted to send Beyonce and the other two women away, but after thinking about it, they decided to let the two women stay.
Because if only the two of them came to participate in the recruitment, this flaw seemed too obvious.
In addition, since they were both in the Sword Bearer Headquarters, they naturally knew these two women. Although they were not unfamiliar with each other, they were also promoted from the branch, with a weak background and average strength, so it would be easier to deal with them.
"Hello everyone! My name is Ryan, the new adamantium-level Sword Bearer." Ryan nodded slightly and said, "Tell me about your situation first."
"Claire, magic iron level, the peak of the first-level wizard, good at fire." Claire said first.
"Beyoncé, Mithril level, Ranger, good at bows and daggers."
"Mia, Mithril level, early stage of second-level wizard, good at charm and negative energy." After saying that, Mia blinked her beautiful eyes at Ryan and smiled sweetly.
"Chandler, Magic Iron level, peak first-level wizard, good at earth."
"Huh? Both of you are Magic Iron level? I remember that the requirements for my recruitment seemed to be Mithril level, right?"
"Uh, Captain Ryan, my strength is actually very good, not worse than the average Mithril level sword holder. If you don't believe me, you can try my fighting ability."
"If it really doesn't work, can I withdraw again?" Claire stood up and said with a little excitement.
Ryan looked at Claire, then looked at the others, and said, "Forget it! You are all hired."
"Huh?" This made Beyoncé and Claire look at each other.
So casual?
No assessment required?
This made the two people feel that the rumors about Ryan were likely to be true.
"Captain Ryan, shouldn't you show your strength?" Mia said with a smile.
Although she knew some of Ryan's situation, she had never seen Ryan take action, so she wanted to see it for easy evaluation.
Beyonce on the side also nodded and said, "Yes, Captain Ryan, the training ground is next to us. We are looking forward to your showing your strength."
"Haha, there is no need to go to the training ground. I'm in a hurry. As for showing your strength? Then let's do it here."
The next second, Ryan's figure in front of him stood still, but suddenly, four more figures of Ryan appeared in the room, standing next to the four people, with different postures.
Even Beyonce, the fastest ranger, was shocked at this moment, and the dagger in her hand was just half pulled out.
But soon, the four figures disappeared.
Only the figure of Ryan's body was left in the venue. What
Ryan just performed was the top-level ultimate shadow step, of course, Ryan did not perform it with all his strength.
"Instant clone technique?" Chandler exclaimed.
This kind of wizard who can clone has a first-class ability to save his life. It is extremely difficult to kill him.
"It's not clone, it's some kind of step-like secret." Mia said in a deep voice.
But it also means that it is difficult to deal with, and the opponent's movement speed must be limited.
Mia's eyes flickered, and she was already thinking about how to deal with it.
At this time, the four people no longer had any objections.
In fact, only Beyonce and Claire had objections before.
As for Mia and the other two, no matter how strong Ryan is, they will join.
"By the way, do you know why there are so few people who sign up to join my team?" Ryan asked at the right time.
At the same time, his keen perception stayed on the four people for a while.
"Well, there are rumors outside that Captain Ryan's strength is not strong, but you are lucky." The blue-robed female wizard Claire hesitated and said euphemistically.
"Haha, that's it."
Ryan had just noticed that the breath of these two people named Mia and Chandler was slightly disordered for a moment.
Disorder is different from fluctuation.
But
we need to test it again.
A few minutes later, the four signed the team joining agreement.
At this time, Ryan said: "Get ready, in two hours, we have to complete a mission."
"Ah? So soon? Captain, shouldn't we practice it?" Claire was surprised and confused.
This is different from the usual routine of a new team.
Shouldn't we practice cooperation for a period of time before setting out on a mission?
"Captain Ryan, what is the specific mission? We can also make corresponding combat preparations." Beyonce asked.
"Kill the venom dragon."
"What!" The two women were shocked.
Although Mia and Chandler also pretended to be shocked, Ryan's keen perception still detected a hint of delay and deliberateness.
This made Ryan feel something.
"See you at the headquarters airship platform in two hours." Ryan left the room first.
Beyonce and Claire looked at each other for a long time. They naturally knew that this was almost one of the most difficult tasks in the headquarters.
Although Ryan's strength just now was good, it was only good, reaching the level of an ordinary adamantine sword holder, but it was far from enough to solve the venom dragon.
At this time, Claire asked Mia, "You... don't you want to persuade the captain?"
"Hehe, you have to believe in the captain's strength." Mia laughed and left with Chandler.
At the same time.
Greenwood and Owen, the butler of the Durham family, met in a carriage at the entrance of the Sword Bearer headquarters.
"Sir Owen, does your uncle mean to hire the Black Knife Organization to do it?" Greenwood frowned and said.
In his opinion, his current plan is almost flawless. Let any of his family's consultants go out, basically ensuring that there is no risk of error.
"Yes, the Duke has contacted the Black Knife Organization, and the other party will send a killer king."
"Is that so? Well, I know." Greenwood's frown loosened his brows.
It seems that his uncle did not underestimate Ryan.
The killer king, only those who have successfully assassinated legendary strongmen are eligible to be awarded this title.
Even as the top killer organization Black Knife, there are very few killers who have won the title of "King of Killers".
It would be a good idea to use this top assassin to deal with Ryan, who is good at witchcraft.
"In addition, the Duke said that Admiral Donald took a big risk in helping to handle this matter this time."
"Because I heard that Marshal Alfred originally wanted to meet Ryan, but he left the imperial capital some time ago because of urgent military information."
"So," said the butler Owen.
"So, this time we must succeed!" Greenwood waved his hand and spoke before Owen.
He understood the unfinished meaning in Owen's words.
"Wise Master Greenwood, otherwise, there may be few opportunities to take action later." Owen smiled and bowed.
A day and a half later.
Nome City, airship berthing point.
Many people in noble costumes are waiting for the airship from the imperial capital, obviously to pick people up.
But three of them are quite eye-catching, dressed in combat uniforms.
If Ryan was at the scene, he would immediately recognize that the other party was Langer, Frye and Alex, who had fought with him.
"Captain, how come the name of the adamantine sword bearer who came from the imperial capital headquarters this time is exactly the same as that of Lord Ryan in the Munster Province?" Frye, a tall and thin young man in leather armor, couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Coincidence, right?" Alex, who was wearing a robe and holding a book with an iron-style cover in his hand, thought for a while and said.
Although Lord Ryan is indeed very strong, it is impossible for him to be promoted to the adamantium level so quickly.
After all, strength is strength. It is not so easy to improve the level of a sword holder. It requires completing difficult or arduous tasks one by one. It is too illogical to be promoted to the adamantium level so quickly.
"But why do I always have a hunch that this Lord Ryan is the one from Munster." Frye frowned.
"Haha, I hope so, but it is impossible. This is a adamantium-level sword holder from the imperial capital, with at least legendary strength." Langer smiled and shook his head.
"But Lord Ryan seems to be about the same!" Frye said with his neck stiff.
He was completely impressed by Ryan during his last trip to Munster. After returning, he often talked about Ryan, and there was no lack of admiration in his words.
"This..."
For a moment, Langer and Alex could not say anything to refute.
Because the Ryan in the Lin Province is really like a demon.
"However, we don't need to guess anymore, the airship from the imperial capital is here." Alex smiled and pointed to the sky.
A quarter of an hour later.
"Hiss~ Is it really you, Lord Ryan?" The three people looked dumbfounded and exclaimed at Ryan.
"Captain Langgel, Alex, Fry, long time no see." Ryan, who had just stepped off the airship, greeted with a smile.
Ryan had a good impression of these three people.
In the battle of Meister, the cult was powerful, and the three people fought against the cult without flinching at all. This was still very admirable to Ryan.
At this time, Mia and Chandler, who were behind Ryan, looked at each other and whispered:
"I can't tell that this Ryan seems to be quite famous."
"Well, I didn't expect that there are sword bearers in the Gnom Province who recognize him so much."
"This team is considered to be very strong in the branch, but it's a pity that it will be cleared out." Mia glanced at Langgel and the other two and said.
"Well, this captain Langgel is quite strong, close to the magic iron level." Chandler also nodded slightly and agreed.
The two of them naturally knew that Ryan was from the nearby Munster Province. Unexpectedly, his reputation was even known to people in the Nome Province. This was very unusual.
After a brief greeting, Langgel asked:
"Lord Ryan, according to the instructions of the headquarters, the branch sent us to accompany you. So should we set off directly now, or stay in Nome City for one night today?"
Langgel had adjusted the address of Mr. Ryan to Lord Ryan at this moment.
"Yes, Lord Ryan, how about staying in Nome City tonight?" Frye said with a smile.
"Go directly, and we will have a good gathering after you come back." Ryan smiled and said.
Come back?
Can you come back?
Chandler couldn't help but curl up his lips when he saw this scene.
"That's fine! Lord Ryan, the griffin is ready, let's go now." Langgel led the way.
Soon, a group of people rode alone, controlled the griffin, and quickly moved towards the destination - the black mud swamp.
The venom dragons like swamp environments by nature. The black mud swamp hundreds of miles away from the city of Gnom is the best place for them to nest. It is convenient for them to attack the densely populated human villages and towns around them, prey on humans and livestock, and return to their nests quickly.
"Lord Ryan, we plan to kill a few of the previously prepared ferocious species in the swamp town outside the black mud swamp to lure them out of the black mud swamp."
Since receiving this task, Langer has thought of several plans and made a lot of preparations.
"Okay." Ryan thought for a while and agreed.
It is naturally not as convenient to go directly to the swamp full of miasma as to wait for the rabbit.
Half an hour later, a small airship with a family emblem also arrived at the airship docking point in Gnom City.
The leader was Greenwood, and beside him was a warrior who looked unusually burly and strong.
The other person was nearly three meters tall, with a rough face. If Harlowen was present, he would definitely recognize that this was a Breton from the Cyrodiil Plateau, who was said to have the blood of giants.
"Did that Ryan leave as soon as he arrived?"
"Yes."
"Has Feng Peng made arrangements?"
"Yes, Master Greenwood."
"Sir Greg, let's go too."
In the swamp town.
"Captain Langgel, you don't need to participate in this battle, just be responsible for the periphery."
"Let Alex help. He's a wizard, so he should be able to help." Langer thought for a while and said.
He and Fry are both good at close combat, but fighting with a legendary creature like the Venom Dragon that is full of poison and can fly is like a centenarian eating arsenic and thinking that life is too long.
"Alright."
"You guys, just use witchcraft and archery attacks from a distance. I'll attract the other party's attention." Ryan said to the four new team members.
"Okay, captain." Mia couldn't help laughing.
There is actually such a good thing.
Isn't it convenient for the two of them to attack?
"Captain, are you sure you can hold the other party back?" Claire said with a trace of worry on her face.
After reading the information of the Venom Dragon, she was still afraid of the other party's strength and difficulty.
"Don't worry, don't forget, I'm a fine gold sword holder." Ryan smiled.
Half an hour later.
Ryan squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, only to see a black dragon more than ten feet long flying quickly from the direction of the black mud swamp towards the location of the mud town.
It seemed that there were also dots of black fluorescent debris scattered around it. According to intelligence, this debris was highly poisonous.
When it saw the corpse of the violent species on the ground, the venom dragon began to flap its wings and prepared to circle down.
But in an instant, a huge silver metal net blasted directly at the venom dragon from a house!
Ryan's double-strengthened second-level witchcraft "Cutting Net" immediately scraped the venom dragon all over its body.
Then, another "Cutting Net"!
"Ang!!!"
However, although it looked seriously injured, in fact, for the venom dragon, this was just a superficial injury, but it made it extremely angry.
The venom dragon climbed up rapidly, and then spun towards Ryan and dived directly. At the same time, its mouth opened wide, and the cystic cavity that could be seen by the naked eye contracted, and it was about to spray out a large amount of black venom that exuded a foul smell.
It was the breath-breathing ability that dragon creatures were best at.
"Rotor Dive Kill!"
"Venom Spray!"
"Good opportunity!"
Mia and Chandler looked at each other. They didn't expect that they would have a chance to attack right at the beginning, but they didn't hesitate, but nodded quickly.
"Imprisonment!" Mia narrowed her eyes, licked her beautiful red lips, and cast a first-level negative energy witchcraft imprisonment spell on her captain Ryan.
The difficulty of practicing the first-level witchcraft of imprisonment is not low. It requires the mastery of the pre-zero-level witchcraft slow spell and weakness spell, and the mastery of the "Principle of Negative Energy" to be able to perform it smoothly.
Moreover, seeing that Mia performed it so quickly, it is obvious that she is extremely talented.
"Rock and Earth Grip!"
Chandler also cast a fixed earth-based witchcraft on Ryan.
It seems that his ability is not enough to cast this witchcraft, so he used a scroll shining with earth-yellow witchcraft aura.
He quickly tore it, and a strong yellow light rushed into the mud under Ryan's feet.
Boom!
Two wheel-sized mud hands suddenly emerged from the ground and grabbed Ryan's legs tightly.
For a moment, the two team members who were supposed to help Ryan deal with the venom dragon's trick suddenly became the ones who stabbed him in the back.
"You!" Langgel saw this change and couldn't help but burst into anger and said in horror.
Alex wanted to help Ryan, but it took time to cast the spell, and at this moment, the venom dragon had already swooped down, and it was too late for him to do anything.
Claire was the same. Although she had mastered the dispel spell, facing this long-planned attack, even if she wanted to help Ryan, she was powerless.
"It's over!" She looked at this scene with a pair of beautiful eyes, and her heart was horrified.
Beyonce quickly cast an aiming shot, as if to attract some of the venom dragon's attention, but the venom dragon had already hated Ryan so much that it chose to take her attack and continued to attack Ryan.
"Hey, Greenwood asked us to say hello to Mr. Ryan." Chandler saw this scene and immediately felt that the situation was settled. He bowed to Ryan in a gentlemanly manner.
In his opinion, even if Captain Ryan had a killer move and survived by chance, he would be seriously injured.
Mia didn't expect that this time would go so smoothly. Ryan actually trusted her and Chandler so much that he was at the front alone, which made it too convenient for them to "stab" in the back. It was so
convenient that they even felt a little reluctant.
"Finally, I've waited for you to take action." A calm voice came out through the roar of the Venom Dragon.
"Huh?"
"What?"
Mia and Chandler couldn't help but be stunned. Did this Ryan know that there was something wrong with them?
But before the two of them could think about it, Ryan said again: "The one in the bush on the left, what are you waiting for?"
Huh? There are others?
Including Mia, Chandler, Claire and Beyonce, they all looked at the location Ryan said in surprise.
You know, there are three wizards here. How could the other party avoid the wizards' perception and lurk nearby?
"Buzz~"
A vibration sound like a bee came from the air, and then the sound became louder and louder.
"Shua!"
A black shadow holding a twisted scimitar rushed straight to Ryan from the bushes in the distance, and the speed was so fast that it drew a black line, which was even faster than the speed of sound.
White air waves formed around his body and spread out like ripples.
