boom--! ! !
Like thunder exploding, accompanied by a bold roar, the violent power is released.
Joshua's slash broke through the air, white air waves surged and distorted the atmosphere, circular shock waves spread rapidly, huge roar shattered all the nearby windows, and the red fighting spirit turned into a beam of strong wind, Penetrate the enemy's array.
The several spearmen who bore the brunt were blasted away by the huge force that struck out of the air. Amidst the crisp sound of bones shattering, these people rolled to more than ten meters away after knocking down all their companions behind them. The weapons in their hands shattered into several pieces. The shield was knocked aside, and numerous cracks appeared in the armor. Blood gushed out, and the breath of life was cut off. However, the strong wind still did not stop, and countless sand and dust debris flew into the sky, covering the entire neighborhood.
These soldiers were all wearing heavy armor, holding shields and spears, and formed a formation to charge. Even if they faced the charging cavalry, they were still capable of fighting. They were an army that ordinary people could not confront head-on. They were meat grinders in the battle formation.
but! For Joshua, as for the [Extremely Effective Qi Lifting Slash] performed by the legendary warrior, it was precisely because they chose to charge head-on that they were vulnerable to a blow!
The confused gray fog fell, revealing the covered streets.
The originally smooth road was shattered into pieces by the force of this slash, and twisted into shapes. Broken masonry, broken spears, and shield glass that had been broken into countless fragments were scattered around, as if they had been chewed up and spit out by some monster. Like the remains of the enemy, the other remaining spearmen stayed in place in fear. They were stunned and did not dare to move forward.
With just one blow, Joshua completely stopped the charge of the heavy armored spearmen phalanx. Everyone looked at each other and did not dare to make any move.
"Unfortunately, the weapons are not good enough"
Exhaling slowly, Joshua threw away the broken sword in his hand and said with some dissatisfaction: "It broke in the middle."
In his expectation, under the attack of a skill that was at least five times more powerful than the ordinary Qi Lifting Slash, a row of spearmen in this group would be completely chopped from beginning to end. However, in the middle of the swing, the weapon in his hand It was overwhelmed and completely shattered. The gathered fighting energy could not be cut out and could only be transformed into an ordinary shock wave.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as the goal is achieved.
"Listen." Taking one step forward, Joshua stood in front of the soldiers who had completely lost their will to fight and looked frightened, and said in a deep voice: "Now, I ask, and you answer."
"Please tell me, sir!" After looking at each other, a person who seemed to be the leader said in a trembling tone: "We must tell them all!"
They were just soldiers, not knights. They were fine in ordinary battles, but facing the warriors in front of them who had absolutely no chance of defeat and could easily slaughter them, they naturally had no loyalty to their nominal master.
"Who is your leader?" Joshua didn't want to waste too long. The noise of his battle was very loud, and it wouldn't take long for more enemies to surround him: "Where is he?"
"Our employer is businessman Danlia. He should be at the Lord's Mansion in the city center right now. The other team leaders should be patrolling various places in the city, but they will come immediately if they hear the siren."
The soldiers who answered were very cooperative and had no moral integrity as private soldiers. It was normal. In the attack just now, they suffered five casualties and twelve injuries, losing one-third of their troops. If they didn't know how to offend the man in front of them, If the uncle is not happy, he will definitely be eliminated in two strokes.
"Lord's Mansion?" Joshua frowned, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he said solemnly: "You are so anxious to move into my house, and it seems like you already treat me as if I don't exist."
The soldiers did not dare to answer. They all threw their weapons to the ground. According to tradition, they knelt on the ground very skillfully and made a captive posture.
Joshua had no interest in the soldiers, he had more important things to do.
After picking up a long gun from the ground and a well-made protective short knife under the distressed eyes of a certain leading captain, Joshua walked straight towards the center of the city.
After a while, when even Joshua's shadow was no longer visible, the surrendered soldiers straightened up and sighed with relief.
Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he said:
"I almost couldn't breathe."
"Why are we sent to deal with such an enemy..."
Similar sentiments were heard endlessly. They roughly gathered the corpses of the fallen. In a burst of sadness, someone wiped the cold sweat from their heads and complained: "Didn't it say that the target is only at the Silver Intermediate level at most? But no matter how you look at it, the strength is... It’s the pinnacle of silver, even gold is only one step away!”
"Having been a mercenary for so many years, do you dare to believe the words above? If everyone knew that the target was really strong, who would dare to charge at him?" A certain veteran seemed to know the tricks well: "The strength they talk about You have to move up to at least one level—but this time it’s too much. You’re almost reaching the gold-level silver peak, and you’re actually saying it’s just an intermediate silver level?”
After speaking, he sighed: "Big trouble, he now knows where the Lord is, and he doesn't know if the guards can stop him."
"It's really troublesome."
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the veteran's heart, making him tremble, and the voice continued: "It seems that there was no stopping at all, how miserable."
Following the secret spiritual communication, a figure wearing full body armor appeared silently in front of the spearmen. This man stood in front of the veterans, with no expression on his armored face: "How did he defeat Yours."
"One blow!" The veteran's reaction was much faster than the others who were already confused. He recognized that the wandering warrior in front of him was a high-level official who could freely enter and leave the lord's mansion, so he did not hide anything and said briefly: "One blow to boost the energy. Slash, the power is the same as goblin artillery bombardment."
"Which direction?"
"Lord's Mansion, straight line."
After finishing the inquiry, the silent man stood still, his body still, but his brain was thinking rapidly.
"Look at the traces on the ground, you didn't lie to me." He mused in his heart, hesitating a little: "Although I can defeat these soldiers, I can't do it so neatly."
"Danlia didn't say he was that strong, nor did he go to the Black Forest Fortress to ask for reinforcements. Instead, he came directly to the main city, which was completely different from the plan... However, that adult will be here soon, and the silver-level Strength is nothing at all." While thinking, the Silent Man's figure was hidden in the shadows beside the wall. He determined the course of action, "We can't let him destroy it. I'll follow him to see the situation first."
Then, his figure disappeared, just as quietly as when he came.
Around the corner, Elson's chest was rising and falling. He was stunned by Joshua's extraordinary fighting power and had just reacted.
"The Silent One, one of the strongest mercenaries in the North... the enemy actually hired him." He murmured to himself: "An incompatible professional combination such as the Psychic Warrior and the Shadow Assassin can advance to Silver Gao, if he had only chosen one path, with his talent, he would have already advanced to gold."
As he said that, his eyes became firm: "No, I can't help Master Joshua by staying here. I need to go back as soon as possible to inform the fortress and let them dispatch troops!"
After speaking, Elson looked at the surrounding situation and found that no one was paying attention to the city gate, so he quickly led his horse and ran towards the outside of the city.
At the same time, Joshua was speeding on the road to the Lord's Mansion. There was no obstacle on the empty street. As he moved forward quickly, he was thinking about some obviously irrational things.
"This is not the first time I feel like this - my uncle is a businessman, where did he find the soldiers and knights? There are actually several brigades!"
Frowning, Joshua felt something was very wrong. The group of spearmen he defeated just now were obviously full-time professional soldiers, with an average level of about 12. This is not something that ordinary people can afford, even if they are elite. Mercenaries can only do that if they have someone behind them.
Taking an adult ordinary goblin as level 1, then as a human of the black iron species, an adult male has a strength of level 5. Most people can easily advance to the black iron level as long as they exercise their muscles and body coordination a little bit, while ordinary professions The professional level of soldiers is around level 10, and training them requires a considerable amount of money. Even if nobles train private soldiers, they will not exceed 300 people. A large number of militiamen will be recruited only when necessary.
This is true for soldiers alone, let alone silver knights with levels above 15. A suit of armor and weapons alone is worth a set of land. According to a businessman on the road, his uncle brought a large group of knights - at least two Thirty of them, this scale is enough to support a poor lord who is not very wealthy. It is simply a daydream for a mere businessman to have such power.
"Maybe there is help from outsiders."
Shaking his head, Joshua was too lazy to care about such minutiae. Facing the cold wind, he waved the spear in his hand. The gun barrel made of solid wood gave him a wonderful sense of relaxation. The feeling of the weapon in his hand made the warrior feel extremely at ease. : "I will kill as many as they come."
In order to arrive as quickly as possible, Joshua gave up the armor and sword he used in the army, and set out on the road with only dry food and a few supplies. Although his talent specialty [Weapon Proficiency] is inconspicuous, it can be used at this time As long as it is a weapon, even if it is a stolen weapon, it can be used skillfully, as if it has been used for many years.
He could vaguely hear the sound of a large group of people running not far away. Joshua looked calm and was not in a hurry. He knew that at this time, the opponent's main combat force would go to the south city gate where the alarm was issued, and then rush back to the Lord's Mansion. Now, in order to maintain martial law and order in the city, the number of guards in the Lord's Mansion must be small. This is his opportunity.
Joshua is confident that as long as there are no more than twenty silver-level guards, he can force his way in, kill the cheap uncle and then break away. In any case, he is a former legendary warrior with rich experience and is a challenge level Gundam twenty-nine boss template.
For ordinary people, Joshua is completely a BOSS-level character with a challenge level of 29, which means that a team of five adventurers with an extremely skilled and fully armed average level of 29 will have half a chance of defeating him if they make a thorough plan. , and the leader template means greater difficulty. Under the same requirements, the team must have at least twenty-five people to overturn him in a head-on duel.
In the game, he is definitely a nightmare monster that ordinary players avoid.
The footsteps of the large group of people are getting closer and closer. It is now early in the morning, the sun has not fully risen, the road is empty, and there is no cover. As long as they meet, the other party will be able to see him if he is not blind. Although Joshua is not afraid of fighting, But he didn't want to waste time. With his familiarity with his hometown, he quickly found an alley and turned in.
However, just as Joshua passed through several alleys in succession and was about to take a shortcut, he suddenly stopped.
Because he saw someone.
A familiar person.
