The "welcoming team" of the Longhuang Empire entered the capital of Yangshao and was grandly welcomed by King Robben XIX.
Although the Yangshao Kingdom is a famous "mercenary kingdom" in the human world, its territory is not that vast, and many countries border on the Longhuang Empire. When Robben I founded the kingdom as a mercenary, he received strong support from the Longhuang Empire, so the Yangshao Kingdom has always existed as a vassal state similar to the Longhuang Empire.
Compared with the founders of the predecessors, today's Robben XIX has a big belly, a pleasant smile, and no mercenaries at all. He is a complete king. Facing the arrival of the third prince of the Longhuang Empire, King Robben XIX did not dare to neglect, and held a welcome ceremony with the highest reception standards.
Not only because of His Royal Highness's status as a prince, but also because "Arthur" is the Lord Jinyao who controls the magic game and rice wine, and also because of the title of one of the three great master craftsmen of mankind.
Such a big man is likely to be the king of the Longhuang Empire in the future, so it is absolutely necessary to establish a good relationship.
Chen Rui politely declined King Robben XIX's kindness to hold a grand banquet for him, and left after only a brief stay, heading towards Garden City.
Before leaving, Chen Rui gave Ron XIX several bottles of the best yellow dragon wine, plus a long-term rice wine supply list, which made Ron XIX's fat face smile.
The team's route was to go through Garton City to the Mirror City of the Loya Kingdom, then through the portal of the Mirror City to the Starlight Kingdom, and then from the Starlight Kingdom to the Emerald Forest.
The carriages are all equipped with the best mutant warhorses of the Longhuang Empire. They are the best in terms of speed and endurance. They can see things clearly even at night, which is far beyond what civilian vehicles can drive, and can greatly save travel.
All in all, because the magic game was "assisted" by the Church of Light, Chen Rui saved a lot of work and set off earlier than planned, so he still had plenty of time at hand. It wasn't that he was in a hurry to go to the Lanyao Empire to get engaged, but that he wanted to go to the Emerald Forest and meet the two masters again. As for what Fenoya said he wanted to give, he didn't really take it to heart.
These two are his true friends in the human world. When he first met them, he had just reached the level of a quasi-master. Therefore, he defeated Saman and Ucarius in the life-and-death battle of the Demon Masters. Now Chen Rui's weapon-making skills have faintly surpassed the two masters, and his combat power is far superior to the two, but no matter how strong or how good the tool-making skills are, friends are friends.
Friendship is not transferred because of high or low.
The speeding carriage stopped suddenly. The stop was so abrupt that even Chen Rui in the space of the carriage could feel it. He immediately notified Lola and the others, put away the space, and heard the sound of chaos and fighting outside the carriage.
"Your Highness, please don't leave the carriage!" The saint-level powerhouse Beidel said in a deep voice: "We have suffered an unknown attack, and General Pu Luoyo is directing the battle."
Chen Rui stretched out his head, just glanced at it, and had a panoramic view of the surrounding situation.
This is a concave-shaped terrain, with taller peaks on both sides, huge rolling logs lying on the ground in front and behind, and they are burning. The air is filled with the scorching breath of the magic circle, and the flames reflect the nearby corpses. , There are people, there are horses.
It seemed that the enemy was using the terrain to launch an attack, blocking the way in and out of the convoy. Judging from the power and layout of the magic circle, it was by no means an ordinary thief, but a premeditated ambush.
Under Pu Luoyo's command, the knights restrained their horses and shrank into a circle, protecting the carriage in the middle.
In the darkness, countless piercing sounds whizzed out, and faintly flickering lights, which should be feathered arrows with magic attached.
The wand in Bedell's hand stopped, and those arrows seemed to hit the invisible shield, cut off and fell one after another, and the strange sound of machine brackets sounded, and there was another sharper whistling sound in the sound of breaking through the air.
"Ballista!" Beder's face changed. The Ballista is a huge complex ballista. It was originally used to deal with giant monsters like dragons. It took a lot of time to load, but its power and destructive power were extremely terrifying.
Although the giant crossbow is powerful, it is a dead thing after all. If it is alone, Beder has a lot of ways, but at present, his duty is to protect the carriage, which means that it can only be hard-wired on the spot.
From the moment he heard the sound of the giant crossbow to the moment when he realized that it was only a flash, Bedell had no time to react. The magic wand lit up with a bright light, the power of the domain surged out, and several faces appeared in the air. The thick soil condensed into a shield, suspended in front of it.
Almost in the next second, there was the sound of the earth shield being penetrated, followed by a cracking sound, the ground trembled, and almost all the earth shields were shattered. Fortunately, there were only large cracks in the last two floors, which barely resisted the "arrow". Many knights nearby were injured by the force of the explosion.
"Damn it, it's a giant crossbow bolt with the strongest explosion formation!" Another holy-level swordsman, Kado, couldn't help cursing, "The giant crossbow is a forbidden weapon that is strictly controlled even in the army. , Where did these bastards get it!"
Pu Luoyo immediately ordered the knights to dismount, put the horses behind them, further narrowed the range of the circle, and waited for it.
Beder forcibly activated the power of the domain just now to block the blow, not daring to be negligent, the wand danced again, the ground shook, and tall and hard walls rose in all directions, protecting the carriage like a city wall.
The sound of machine guns and sharp whistles sounded again. This time there was more than one giant crossbow. The surrounding earth walls were penetrated into several layers and collapsed under the force of the explosion, but the innermost layers were not damaged.
Beder is proficient in earth magic, and his adaptability is extremely quick. This kind of earth wall technique that condenses the power of the domain is indeed the best way to defend against the giant crossbow.
After a round of shooting was in vain, the sound of the ballista temporarily stopped. After all, this kind of ballista is the biggest weakness when it is loaded. However, ghostly figures began to appear from behind the collapsed earth wall, rushing towards the carriage—after the shots failed, the enemy resorted to close combat.
The knights near the carriage were all elites of the Dragonscale Legion, they didn't panic or act rashly, they just quietly waited for Captain Pu Luoyo's order.
The phantoms were already quite approaching. With an order from Pu Luoyo, the swordsmen in the front row all swung their swords at an angle, slashing straight, slashing horizontally, then slashing straight, and then slashing horizontally... The strength of these swordsmen The lowest level is also at the division level. Rows of fierce winds staggered out neatly, like a giant net, and those phantoms turned into countless fragments before they approached the body.
Chen Rui could tell that these knights had a power similar to magic tattoos, and the combined formation could exert several times their own power.
In particular, these well-trained and battle-tested elites are well-founded, as if they are alone, even in the face of holy-level powerhouses, they have the power to fight.
The formation of joint attack is exactly the means of warfare that human beings are best at, and the demon world is much weaker in this respect, and sometimes it depends more on individual strength. Generally speaking, due to the relationship between lifespan and physical strength, demons are better than humans at the same level.
The elites of the Dragon Scale Legion in front of him taught Chen Rui a lesson. In the blink of an eye, they were like a meat grinder, beheading enemies who outnumbered their own.
Beder, who was around the carriage, suddenly raised his head, and saw countless light spots appearing in the night sky, and those light spots instantly magnified a lot, and they turned out to be meteorites blazing with fire.
"Meteor fire shower!" Beder exclaimed. Meteor fire shower is a powerful magic of the fire system. It is extremely lethal to fixed targets on the ground. There are hundreds of these meteorites, and even at this distance they can Feeling the terrifying fluctuations of the fire element, it seems that there is a powerful fire magician among the enemies.
The carriage can't move now, just like the previous giant crossbow, Beder can only hard-wire it, immediately raise the wand high, point it at the sky, and quickly recite the spell in his mouth.
At this moment, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart, and he saw a golden light brighten up, flying towards him like a lightning bolt, and at this moment the sound of piercing the sky sounded—an arrow!
This arrow condensed extremely powerful domain power, and the timing was extremely accurate. It was when Bedur concentrated his magic power to resist the meteor fire rain in the sky, and he had no time to make a second reaction.
The magician's melee ability is almost zero. If this arrow is hit, Beder will be severely injured if he is not dead, and he will not be able to resist the meteor fire rain falling from the sky. The carriage and the people nearby will all become melted meat sauce.
"Ding!" The arrow was blocked by a giant sword, and the one holding the sword was another saint-level powerhouse, Kado.
As expected, Kado lived up to Bader's expectations and took the arrow for him. Beder's magic power surged out, and the meteor fire rain in the sky slowed down quickly, as if it had collided with some force and was stalemate in the air.
The golden light lit up, this time the target was Kaduo. Lianzhu arrows, five arrows practiced in a line, the front arrow accurately shot into the rear arrow tail, which was equivalent to nearly five times the afterburner, Kaduo's giant sword swung across, and the whole person flew more than ten meters.
Before he could recover, dozens of golden lights flew towards Bedur, who was struggling with the meteor fire rain, with a sharp whistling sound, and it was already too late for Kado to rescue him. Bader was in a bad mood, and his figure appeared in the air instantly. This teleportation made the falling speed of the meteor and fire rain a little faster. Beder quickly stabilized the magic power to resist, and shouted: "Take Your Highness out of here!"
If you keep guarding like this, you can only be beaten passively, and you must give up the carriage.
However, as soon as Bader finished speaking, those lost golden lights seemed to have eyes, and turned an arc, chasing towards Bader who was in mid-air.
Beder was shocked. At this critical moment, the golden light suddenly stopped, revealing the original shape inside, arrows made of golden metal.
The next scene left everyone dumbfounded. The dozens of gleaming arrows instantly turned into fly ash, and the faintly glowing fly ash quickly receded, following the trajectory of the arrows when they came, as if The footage played back is average.
In the blink of an eye, Duan Guang flew back to the place where the arrow was fired, and there was a shrill cry, which only lasted half a sound, then stopped abruptly, and there was no more sound.
Beder in the air could see it most clearly. It was a slender figure who tried to avoid the retreating light several times, but failed. The moment the light returned to his body, he screamed and his body was reduced to ashes. .
Beder felt the pressure on his head loosen, and hundreds of flaming meteorites turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, blown by the night wind from high above, and scattered without a trace.
What kind of power is this? It's so powerful! That slender figure is obviously a strong man at the peak holy level, but he turned into fly ash in an instant. Judging from the floating state, this kind of power is not like magic power, but more like a kind of poison!
Everything just now was naturally the masterpiece of Pagliu sitting on the roof of the carriage. These low-level assassins only need to move their fingers to solve it.
Uncle Poison Dragon took a sip of wine, winked his eyes like a demonstrative to human beings, and looked like a villain - I am so powerful, how about your strength, I can only pretend to be a grandson...
Chen Rui had an indifferent expression, but Laura glanced at the poisonous dragon, and then looked away. Anyway, if this lady makes a move, ten Pagliu will also kneel, and they don't bother to argue with this fellow.
Only the amoeba looked dejected. Such a good opportunity to make meritorious service was missed because of drinking the last half bottle of wine.
"The enemy is retreating!" Beder could see clearly. After the strong man who shot the arrow was killed, the ghostly shadows seemed to have received some order and retreated quickly, including the fire-type holy magic that released meteor fire rain. division.
Kado stepped forward and bowed to Pagliu together with Bedur, who was on the ground. There was obvious awe in the eyes of the two. Others may not know it yet, but as saint-level powerhouses, both he and Beder can feel that it was the carefree-looking man next to His Highness the Third Highness who solved the enemy.
Turning the peak holy-level powerhouse into fly ash with a wave of his hand, this guardian of "Arthur" has far surpassed the power of the holy-level-super-level powerhouse!
Seeing the enemy receding, the knights all raised their swords and cheered in victory.
Luo La whispered in Chen Rui's ear: "I felt the fluctuation of the water teleportation, those people should have escaped using the one-time teleportation array."
Chen Rui nodded, showing deep thought.
Pu Luoyo didn't hear Laura's voice, but frowned, and said: "I always feel something is wrong, I feel that the enemy is retreating too fast..."
"General, don't worry too much," Bedell shook his head indifferently. "I can see very clearly that the leader of the enemy was killed by the Guardian with His Royal Highness, and his morale dropped, so he retreated."
"It's just a commander's intuition. I hope I'm wrong." Proyo nodded, and when he was arranging for soldiers to clear the road obstacles, Pagliu frowned suddenly and stood up.
