The Sword and The Shadow

Chapter 192: Rhaego the Barbarian

Views:

Regnar met Eberron that night, and today he specially called Goethe. This guy has been very calm since he revealed his identity to Regnar last time. It is normal for him to show up again today.

Regner did not explain Goethe's identity to Kordak and the others. After all, the affairs of the Military Intelligence Agency and the Moon Shadow Thieves Guild had nothing to do with them. He was worried that telling Kordak would get them into unnecessary trouble. Moreover, Regnar is not allowed to ask Kordak to advise him now, because his teacher Garona is obviously a better candidate.

The next game was basically within everyone's expectations. Regnar showed his strength and defeated the thirteenth-level mid-level mage. Then qualify as the first in the group. Kordak also qualified with a complete victory record. Eberron could only be in second place due to losing one game to Kordak, but this did not prevent him from qualifying.

After entering the top thirty-two, Regnar and Kordak's opponents were still very ordinary. Regnar easily advanced, while Kordak met his long-standing rival Nigrila. That match was completely beyond Regner's expectations. In front of Kordak, who was full of anger and extraordinary performance, Nigrila was beaten to pieces. In Regner's words, "The boss behaved like a boar in heat, and unfortunately, Nigrila was the only sow he could find."

It is said that after the game, Nigrila suffered 37 stab wounds on his body, comminuted fractures in five places, and countless bruises. This guy wanted to surrender, but Kordak didn't give him a chance.

In this way, Regner and Kordak entered the top sixteen very easily. But at this moment, a name appeared on the opposite side of Kordak's battle list, and that was Rego.

"Oh, why did you meet that madman?" Kordak screamed when he saw the match list.

This competition made many contestants famous, and the most famous among them is of course Annelotte, a young mage with both beauty and strength. But if we want to say that the one with the most exaggerated record is the one who faced Regner in the qualifiers.

This giant man won sixteen badges alone during the preliminaries, becoming the player with the most badges in the competition. In the following game, none of his opponents could last more than ten minutes in his hands, and all of them were seriously injured, including a level 14 mid-level mage!

Kordak and Regnar once watched one of his matches when they were bored. As Kordak said, this Regnar fought like a madman.

He roared and rushed towards his enemy, and then relied on his super high defense ability to launch a crazy attack regardless of the cost. Although Rego would be slightly injured every time he fought, these small wounds were as painless and itchy as mosquito bites to the giant man. As for his opponents, they basically suffered broken muscles and fractures, and in more serious cases, they were missing arms and legs.

After learning that the boss's opponent was such a bloodthirsty maniac, Regnar also became anxious. He quickly went to the martial arts hall to find Goethe, and then asked him to check the details of Rego.

According to Goethe's report, this Rego was not originally from the Hawke Empire, but a northern highland barbarian. In fact, the Hawke Empire not only had wars with the Stoke Empire in the south, but the highland barbarians on the far northern ice and snow plateau also often invaded the northern human borders.

Although recently under the oppression of Emperor Larven, the north has not seen a large-scale barbarian invasion in more than a year. But this group of barbarians obviously would not settle down so easily, and small frictions between the borders continued. This competition in the Hawke Empire also attracted barbarians.

This imperial competition does not require that the contestants must be citizens of the Hawke Empire. Therefore, Rego is the representative sent by the barbarians to participate in this competition. To put it more directly, this guy was sent to kick the bucket.

Don't you, the Hawke Empire, think that you have a lot of talents, so why are you so arrogantly engaging in competitions? Well, the great ancestors will let you see what real power is.

Lei Ge, a fourteenth-level berserker and earthbinder, currently has two known attribute abilities.

The first attribute ability is called Earth Skin: Rego can transform his skin into a rock-like state. To put it simply, his body will become harder, and his strength and defense will be greatly improved as a result. But it will not increase your fighting spirit level.

The second attribute ability is the Stone Breaker: Rego can split rocks at will and strengthen them according to his own ideas. This is why Rego can pull a stone shield directly from the earth. He cut the rocks with his mind, dividing them into a shield shape.

It can be said that both of Rego's abilities are very offensive attributes. Moreover, barbarian berserkers should also have secret techniques passed down from their ancestors, which can improve their combat effectiveness in a short period of time. If Rego uses his full strength, ordinary high-level warriors may not be his opponent.

Therefore, Kordak's chance of winning against Rego was barely even 10%. Considering the fate of Rego's opponents in the past, Regna finally decided to persuade Kordak to give up this competition.

"Impossible!" Kordak answered extremely resolutely: "We haven't even started a fight yet, and you want me to admit defeat first?!"

"But boss." Regnar advised: "Rego is too strong. Even if I were to face him, it would be difficult to defeat him without the help of attribute abilities."

"Of course I do," Kordak said.

"Then why do you continue to compete?" Regnar was puzzled. There was obviously no chance of winning, so why did Kordak continue to compete

"Because I am Kordak!" Kordak's face flashed with pride: "Although I am not a person with attribute abilities, and although my talents are not very good, I also have my pride and my dignity. ! Escape without fighting, I absolutely cannot do such a thing! I can fail, I can be seriously injured, I can even die, but I absolutely cannot retreat, because once I retreat, I will have nothing!"

Regnar looked at Kordak silently, and when he spoke, his face was filled with "Come and praise me for being proud and dignified." But Regnar sighed quietly and said, "Boss, in fact, if you die or become disabled, you will have nothing."

"Damn it!" Kordak slapped Regnar on the back of the head, and he cursed: "It's rare for me to be awesome for a damn moment, and you're just cheering me up like this?! Really? His grandma is not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs!"

Regnar rubbed the back of his head with an aggrieved look on his face and said, "I'm doing this for you, too... Regnar is indeed too strong, and I don't want you to suffer any meaningless injuries here."

"Don't worry, Xiao Lei." Kordak also put away his joke and said seriously: "I have a sense of propriety. Don't forget what we do. Isn't injury common?"

"Okay..." Regnar looked at Kordak's serious face, and finally could only nod his head. He was suddenly stunned again: "Why didn't Sister Vera come to persuade you?"

"Do you think that woman is the same as you?" Kordak curled his lips: "She already knew that she couldn't persuade me, so she didn't come to persuade me at all."

"Is that so..." Regnar thought thoughtfully, and then suddenly asked: "Boss, have you noticed? I always feel that Sister Vera has changed a lot recently."

"Of course I know!" Kordak said proudly: "Vera has told me many times that I will do the planning and planning of the command team, and Anne will do the long-range fire support and layout. You did the assassination, sniping and beheading. You even helped her solve Balor's matter. She always felt that she was useless, so Vera wanted to change. For now, she is at least smarter than before. Quite a few.”

"My sister Vera has always been very smart, she was just too lazy to worry about it before!" Regna said with a smile.

The match between Rego and Kordak went on as scheduled, and Vera, Regner, Inelise, Eberron, and Goethe all came to watch the match. Kordak is a very charismatic man, so many people will naturally come to support him during his matches.

Not only that, people also spotted Annelotte in the VIP seats. But it was obvious that she had put on some magic disguise. If Regner and others were not familiar with her, it would be difficult to recognize that she was the most popular young mage in this competition.

It is worth noting that Annelotte did not come alone. Sitting next to him was a young mage also wearing a robe. He has short golden hair. Although his appearance cannot be clearly seen, judging from his words and deeds, he seems to be a very elegant and graceful nobleman.

"Who is that guy?" Regnar said with a touch of sourness.

Vera took a closer look. Years of training as a shooter had made her eyesight better than Regnar's: "I don't recognize him, but he is very handsome. What? Are you jealous?"

"How can I, a great old man, be jealous?" Regnar said pretending to be nonchalant.

Vera couldn't help but smile when she saw her younger brother's appearance: "Don't worry, you know very well who Annie is. It's impossible for those self-righteous guys to deceive her."

Regnar sighed silently, and then glanced at Annelotte faintly.

"How is it? The VIP seats have a clearer view than the ordinary seats." Joffrey said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness, the Great Prince." Annelotte said lukewarmly.

"It's nothing, I just happened to meet you today." Joffrey said with an expression on his face, "We are really destined."

In fact, it took him a lot of effort to find out that Annelotte was going to watch the game. Then he hurriedly booked a VIP room, pretended to have met Annelotte by chance, and then kindly invited her to enter the VIP room to join him. Watch this game.

As for Annelotte, she was too lazy to bother with Joffrey. She was looking everywhere anyway, and the VIP room was quieter, so just come in! As for Regnar? snort! So what if you see it? Anyway, it's not his turn to take care of her affairs. This is what they agreed on from the beginning!
