The officials riding the dragon boat this time came specially to celebrate the completion of the dragon boat. As for the Grand Canal where this dragon ship is located, even the behemoth of the empire still consumes countless manpower and material resources. It took seven years to complete its construction amid the dissatisfaction of countless civilians.
However, neither Minister Ernest's faction nor the officials who opposed him adopted excessive resistance strategies. For them at the top of the empire, the construction of the Grand Canal was a major event that would benefit the future.
It can be said that many dignitaries from the imperial capital were invited to this celebration ceremony. Without a certain status, it is impossible to sneak into the dragon boat. And Le Yuan was able to get to this dragon boat not by relying on his own strength, but with the support of the followers of An Ning Dao. Even though the power of An Ning Dao touches the entire imperial capital, there are still many believers among the princes and nobles. It is a trivial matter to rely on that power to provide an invitation to Le Yuan.
After entering the dragon boat, Le Yuan did not enter the banquet hall directly, but walked along the dragon boat corridor little by little towards the top of the dragon boat. Just after Tazmi slipped on the boat, the druid falcon that had been hovering above the dragon boat also settled down. He stopped on the spot and stood on the highest flagpole, looking down at the entire dragon ship.
Le Yuan stayed in the aisle on the highest floor of the dragon boat, leaning on the railing and watching the dark flow of people on the river bank. He looked at the dragon boat docked on the pier with envy. For this boat, which was specially used for the little emperor's inspection, ordinary people I can only watch it. Wanting to board this ship is something I can only think about in my dreams.
Le Yuan, who was at a high place, looked at the entire dragon ship, and the information about all the target persons gathered in his mind at this moment. The official who was assassinated this time is currently on the front deck, and there are also more than a dozen bodyguards and three night escorts, which is already very strong in terms of defense strength.
Liwa, one of the three beast warriors targeted by Le Yuan, lurked into the nearly deserted dragon boat compartment with his tomboy companion Niu, quietly waiting for the opportunity to strike. As for the berserker Dai among the three beast warriors, Das was holding his Imperial Equipment in the darkness, waiting for an opponent worth fighting.
"Timing, timing, the guys here are really ignorant. They have no idea that once this ship leaves the shore, they are all lambs to be slaughtered. The most troublesome guy at the moment is the night-attacking Brad, the evil-haunted evolution. , adaptability combined with his own powerful force, he would really be a troublesome person if he was not exposed and killed."
Le Yuan looked down at the audience. He came to this ship for no other reason than to gather four pieces of imperial equipment on this ship. Compared to Le Yuan who spent more than 2 years of hard work and many opportunities to find 12 pieces of imperial equipment, the ones here account for a full third.
The dignitaries on the deck were still drinking and mingling among each other, but Tazmi, who entered the dragon ship as the bright face of the night attack, was dressed as a rich second generation in a white suit. Seeing Tazmi communicating with a group of high-ranking people without any sense of disobedience, Le Yuan, who had always felt that he was abnormal, touched his chin and said: "Based on his words, deeds, and what Sayu and the others said, even if the protagonist Tazmi in front of me is not The time traveler is also an abnormal protagonist who knows about the development of the world and has cheats. The sword energy that even I almost concealed is the result of the condensed true energy achieved by oriental martial arts. Without the guidance of a famous teacher, it is impossible for ordinary people to practice it. OK, what is a plug-in?"
The dragon boat set sail on time after the stipulated time arrived. The dragon boat sailed south along the Grand Canal as everyone at the port said goodbye. The moment the dragon boat left the port, the three parties on the boat began to take action. The first person to take action was none other than Niwu, the pseudonym who was hiding in the dragon boat's box.
I saw Niwu, who was sitting opposite Liwa, taking out his imperial equipment - a flute from his arms. This imperial equipment named [Screaming] can control people's emotions through the sound of the flute, and it can be used to raise the level of intelligence. The morale of the army is a very deadly flute for those who have never heard it.
The sweet and melodious sound of the flute came from the box where Niu was sitting. The sound of the flute easily broke through the box. The ice penetrated the layers of decks. The sound of the flute enveloped the entire dragon ship in an instant. Faced with the sudden sound of the flute, most passengers did not realize that it was the sound of death and thought it was a normal performance.
But the moment Tazmi heard the sound, she immediately covered her ears, and at the same time said to Brad, who was still invisible next to her: "It's not good, brother. This flute can hypnotize, it's the Three Beastmen Take action.”
"Damn it, please bear with me for a while. I'll deal with the enemy playing the flute first. Pay attention to your safety!" As he spoke, Brad rushed towards the source of the sound, but the penetrating power of the flute passed directly through [Evil Ghost Haunted] ] affected Brad. The closer he got to the source of the sound, the greater the impact he would receive. It was about to affect his combat effectiveness.
On the other hand, the moment the flute sounded, Le Yuan felt a strange force begin to affect his spirit through the sound of the flute. Although the power in the flute was not very powerful, the power could benefit from the sound of the flute. Yuan felt a deep sense of sleepiness in his heart.
"Tsk, the Teigu is really weird. It attacks the soul directly. But if you listen to this kind of flute too much, you will develop resistance." After Le Yuan felt the impact of the flute on himself, he immediately used his mental power to block the impact of the flute. Due to his own influence, the [screaming] flute sound is just a good tune to him now.
"Damn, why do I feel so tired? I can't hold on anymore." At this time, Druid Falcon, who was sitting on the top deck of the dragon boat, could no longer hold up and fell from the flagpole. After being hit hard, he couldn't resist the flute. Under the influence of the sound, the transformation technique completely failed, and he regained his human form.
"Tod, please support me." Leah, a female druid player who was in a team with two other people, sent a distress signal to the other two through internal communication. The cost of such in-world conversations is no longer a problem for them.
"The three beast warriors are on your side. Hold on, I will come over as soon as possible. Pay attention to safety."
"Lea, give priority to your own life, and let her die for what purpose!" Lille, who had always had a good impression of Leah, sent a message.
After hearing the summons, Leah's face showed shyness. After closing the communication, she raised her head with difficulty and looked at the empty deck and said: "Don't worry, when this mission is over, I will agree to your proposal, dear Lia." you."
"laugh-"
The sound of a sword piercing his heart could be heard on the deck, and countless thoughts flashed through Leah's mind before she could regain her mobility. Was she attacked? Did the transformation just now reveal his identity? Or has she always been under the control of her enemies
But before Leah could turn her head to see the attacker's face clearly, Leah felt her vision go dark and completely lost consciousness.
Le Yuan looked at the female druid whose heart was shattered and died by his sword energy, and murmured: "Don't worry, with your teammates accompanying you, you will never be alone. Besides, this is nothing for you. It's just a game, don't run into me in the 'next life'!"
Taking back the sword in his hand, Le Yuan checked the status of the dragon boat again. Brad, who went to the dragon ship cabin to look for the owner of the flute, could not maintain his invisibility. He met the berserker Daidas who was walking out in the corridor, and threw the two great axes [Belvak] of the tracking emperor like boomerangs. He threw it at Brad, but the threat to Brad was equal to 0.
"Are you the real Night Raid guy? That's great. Defeating you will definitely give you a lot of experience points!"
Daidas, who likes to fight with strong men to increase his experience points, sighed like this after seeing Brad who exuded the aura of a strong man.
"Ding-clang-"
The two axes that were constantly spinning and shooting at Brad were hit back by the red Dragonfly Cut "Red-backed Shrike" in his hand before they even touched Brad. Brad, who was holding a stance with a spear, looked at Daidas and said viciously: "You want experience points? I'll let you get enough at once!"
Then he leapt towards Daidas who had not yet received the axe. Brad raised the dragonfly cut above his head and slashed at Daidas' shoulder.
"Qiang—"
When the two axes lost control and fell to the ground, Brad looked at Daidas who suddenly had two silver wrist knives popping out of his arms to block his chops. He praised his quick reaction in his heart and felt extremely shocked at the same time. Headache.
The extremely annoying flute sound was still invading his head. Although the [Evil Ghost Haunting] reduced part of the effect, continuing to fight in such a bad state would still be a heavy load.
"go!"
The dragonfly slash in his hand was blocked, and Brad immediately launched the next attack. He raised his leg and kicked Daidas hard in the stomach, who had no time to defend himself. Daidas, who was kicked by this blow and showed a bitter expression, directly smashed the wall of the inner corridor of the dragon ship and fell into a room.
"Damn, it seems that it is not easy to get the experience points of an elite like you." Daidas, who staggered up from the ground, looked at Brad with his double blades, and there was a trace on his face. He said with pride: "Don't think that you can defeat me just because you have the Teigu. I have gone through rigorous training as a warrior under Lord Esdeath. Besides, how long can you last?"
"It's no big deal to deal with a little guy like you. I was known as the one who killed Brad with a hundred men!" Although Brad's voice coming out of the armor was full of confidence, he was a little anxious hidden under the mask. , the enemy other than Daidas has not yet appeared, but our own combat effectiveness has been lost due to the sound of the flute. The situation is far worse than they expected.
"Brother, I'm here to help you!"
Suddenly Tazmi appeared bravely behind Brad as if ignoring the sound of flutes nearby, then raised the long sword in her hand, pointed it directly at the tip of Daidas' nose and said: "Sword One!"
A ray of air-piercing sword energy shot across a distance of five meters towards Daidas. Daidas, who could not avoid it, raised the double blades in his hands and struck the sword energy head-on.
"Ding-"
Even Daidas, who had amazing strength, was hit by this blow and his hands flew away. The door suddenly opened, completely defenseless. Taking this opportunity, Tazmi continued to use "Sword Eight", and the two sword energies intertwined like eight figures and enveloped the defenseless Daidas chest.
"Water bomb!"
Accompanied by the voice of a middle-aged man, four rotating water columns not only broke through the dragon ship wall, but also blocked Daidas' attack from Tazmi. The momentum of the constantly rotating water flow continued even after blocking the attack, and it attacked Tazmi, who was still in a neutral position.
"I told you earlier, you are still a bit young."
Brad spun the dragonfly cut in front of Tazmi and blocked the blow by rotating the weapon on his own.
"Daidas, it seems that we have caught a big fish this time, so there is no need to hold back. Let's use these two people's heads to win the favor of Lord Esdeath!" The pseudo-nympho Niu didn't know when she stopped playing. Came to Daidas with Leva.
The three beast warriors and the two men from the night attack officially faced off, and a war between the two sides was about to break out.
