Chapter 537 Assassination
Bang bang bang! !
In the flash of lightning, a figure shrouded in a purple cloak and wearing a mirror mask rushed out of the sky, swinging dozens of fists at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, and hit three people in the air. The assassin at the front was killed on the spot, and at the same time he drew out two soft swords wrapped around his waist like belts, raised his hand and threw out a dazzling sword light, restraining the dozen or so attackers who were swarming behind him. land.
The head of the Bauhinia Guard, who was given the name Zijing, actually single-handedly intercepted nearly a hundred attackers who broke through the Dantes and Hussein positions one after another!
Just like the Mountain Knights of the Baroka family, the Quicksilver Guards of the Marshall family, and the Blood Claws Guards of the Fire Claws, the Redbud Guards have always been the sharpest knife in the hands of the Violet Royal Family, and the Purple Mirror As the person in charge of this sword in most cases, he naturally has first-class loyalty and strength, and his presence is indispensable beside Clerval, who leads the army personally.
As for how strong this person who can be called the commander-in-chief of the Bauhinia Guard is...
Let's put it this way, although Zi Jing has not been promoted to the sword master like Warren Dantis and became a legendary powerhouse, but if If the two meet head-on, even if the mysterious man who always hides behind the mask cannot win, he will never lose!
His specific ranks are as follows -
Intermediate Knight, Intermediate Berserker, Intermediate Earth Mage, Intermediate Water Mage, Intermediate Fertility Priest...
< br>As well as high-level swordsmen, high-level monks, and shadow masters (epic levels derived from the thief profession system).
Obviously, Zi Jing is a man with extraordinary talents, excellent understanding, and no blind spots.
With his capital, coupled with the resources that the Commander-in-Chief of the Bauhinia Guard can use, if Zi Jing is determined to become a top powerhouse, he will definitely be better than the genius of the Dantes family who is rare in a century—— It would be many years before Warren Dantes reached the legendary level.
But he didn't. Even though he knew very well that as long as he concentrated on one or even two of them, he could be promoted to legend, Zi Jing still didn't do it.
There are two reasons...
First, because of the special status of the Violet family, that is, the position of [Royal Family], the empire derived a line of ' There is an unspoken rule that the royal family cannot have decisive combat power. The reason is naturally due to balance considerations. Although it is possible to advance secretly, neither Clairvaux nor Zijing is willing to do so. Take this risk, because once discovered, it can easily cause extreme consequences. If not handled properly, it may even make the Bresne family fall into ruin and become a puppet completely.
The second thing is that Zi Jing himself does not intend to become a top expert who specializes in one discipline. Although his physical fitness is quite good and his perception of elements is a genius, no matter which path he takes, he is likely to create something. Although the results are formidable, there will still inevitably be bright spots... I mean blind spots.
The reason here is more complicated. If Zi Jing's talent is enough to make him a strong man like Pharaose, then there will be no problem. Not to mention trouble, he can even help the Violet family with his toughness. He tried to conquer other lords, but he couldn't do it.
Although the legendary level seems to be extremely powerful, there are not many legendary levels in the world today, at least a four-digit base. In many cases, the difference between legends and legends It is extremely huge, and there is even a chasm between the strongest and weakest legends. Zi Jing knew from the beginning that with his talent, even if he advanced to the level of legend, he would not be a very strong one, because he is too comprehensive. , he has good physical fitness, high talent and understanding, and great magic perception. With these qualities, his upper limit is very average. In other words, he is not extreme enough.
Take the Great Star Sage from Anka Market as an example. His talent in magic is outrageous, but his physical fitness... to be honest, when they shook hands politely, Jadeka really didn't use any force, but the sage was still shaking in pain and sweating profusely.
If his magic talent is A++, then his physical strength talent is undoubtedly D. No matter how much he exercises, he can only keep himself healthy. Don't even think about six-pack abs.
It is precisely because of this that Martin, the Great Star Sage, can go further on the path of magic.
As for Zi Jing, he is the kind of person whose strength, durability, agility, magic power, and noble phantoms (crossed out) are all B++. No matter how much he specializes in one area, he cannot be too strong. .
So, he chose something that usually no one would consider - all-round development
The knight could allow him to better control the horse, and the bloodthirsty rage of the berserker could make him ignore it. Pain and earth magic can exponentially increase his means as a protector. Water magic and fertility magic can allow him without the talent of apothecary to extend life at critical moments. Swordsman and monk can improve physical strength and body. Quality and Shadow Master are the necessary ranks for every generation of Bauhinia Guard commander.
From here, it is not difficult to see how loyal Zi Jing is to the royal family. The career he chooses and the route he takes are almost all made to better assist the Ziluo family.
So when he realized that someone was trying to attack Zi Luo Lan's control area, Zi Jing, who was the first to react, rushed out almost instantly and intercepted these people in front of the formation, and used his severely distorted voice to say A series of clear and unequivocal instructions——
“All Redbud Guards listen to the order, and teams one to nine immediately protect His Majesty; teams ten to thirteen use [True Image] to conduct wide-area reconnaissance in my area; The 14th, 16th, and 19th teams formed a horizontal knife formation and advanced to both sides at a constant speed; all members of the second team went into hiding and rushed to the corresponding location of the No. 3 emergency plan; the third team ensured the evacuation route as quickly as possible to ensure that the royal family was close Wei's condition is stable; teams 15, 17, and 18 will come to support me immediately!"
Obviously, Zi Jing not only has strong personal strength, but also has extremely high command level and on-the-spot response! Achievements, however...
[The order was ignored... No, was my voice cut off? 】
After issuing five orders in one breath, Zi Jing found that except for the colleagues around him who began to rush to fight, the large army behind him did not react at all.
"Damn..."
He reacted quickly and jumped back, hiding his figure among dozens of Bauhinia Guards who subconsciously rushed out, and said quickly: "You fight to the death to stop these attacks. Sir, I will go to the rear first to ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor..."
Click! !
Before he finished speaking, two chains flashing with dark golden magic patterns were wrapped around Zi Jing's hands. At the same time, several people next to the two Bauhinia guards suddenly moved over and they used force He tore off the armor on his wrist and pressed the violet pattern near his wrist with a look of death.
“You!”
Although Zi Jing's psychological quality was extremely strong, he couldn't help but feel cold all over for a moment. Without hesitation, he condensed a piece of ice blade from the air and cut off his left arm, and instantly started a bloodthirsty rage, using a wave of With great strength, he threw away another Bauhinia guard who used some kind of alchemical tool to restrain him, and then forcibly activated his shadow melting ability, creating a thick dark element out of thin air to cover his body, in an attempt to target the traitors around him. The security conflict went out...
However, although his speed was already very fast, it was far inferior to the speed of the surrounding Redbud Guards who were 'destroying'. The violet pattern glowed instantly, and before the purple mirror had time to completely dive into the shadows, it was swept in by a series of shocking and deafening lights.
The dozen or so Bauhinia Guards on both sides who seemed to be fighting the attackers, but who had actually put down their weapons, shouted in unison: "The two wings were attacked by unknown attackers. The commander-in-chief has ordered, remove me." In addition to waiting, all personnel dispersed to defend, the 14th, 15th, and 16th squads will stick to your majesty!"
As they said that, they secretly made a way to attack the attackers very efficiently! The person 'put' it in.
Five minutes later, in the chaos, the remaining seventy or so attackers finally rushed to the middle of the Violet War Eagle's throat, less than three hundred meters away from Clairvaux's car. .
However, the Bauhinia Guards and the Royal Guards have been sent far away by the traitors who pretended to pass on Zi Jing's orders. As for the 14th, 15th, and 16th squads that were given the task of "sticking to His Majesty", they were actually mixed with probably A quarter of the 25th generation, although those people are still loyal to the Violet royal family, the person they take orders from has already been Rebo Bresne a few years ago.
So although it is incredible, if the situation continues to develop as it is now, when the attackers attack and the second and fifth boys switch sides and create chaos, His Majesty Clairvaux Bresne's The situation will become extremely bad. As for the defensive methods on him, they have been leaked for a long time.
To sum up, although His Majesty the Emperor still feels that he is very stable at the moment, he is actually in an extremely vicious crisis. To put it simply, if there is no accident, it will soon collapse...
Then, just as you guessed when you saw this, an accident occurred.
A small accident.
Really small, because the person standing in front of the attackers and traitors, including the rather funny helmet on his head, was only a little over 1.2 meters tall.
“Get out of the way!”
One of the attackers, a caster with a gloomy voice and above average height, gave a low shout, raised his hand and released a negative energy aggregate as big as a door panel. He smashed straight at the unusually short figure in front of him. At the same time, the two high-level thieves rushed lazily and stabbed each other with the daggers in their hands.
In the past five minutes, they had already eliminated many blockers like this.
But this time, they didn't succeed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With a series of soft sounds, the negative energy aggregate that could kill at least ten mid-level professionals in one blow had disappeared, and the two thieves also stopped strangely, holding the dagger. His arms were still shaking slightly.
The short figure stood there as if he had done nothing. The only difference from before was that there was an extra shield on his right arm, with a black, four-four Square shield.
After eliminating all possibilities, there is only one plausible explanation left...
That is, about half a second ago, this man used that shield to block a negative energy blast and two stabs from different directions.
"Stop first, we still have plenty of time!"
A big man of at least two meters one meter walked out from behind. He wore a silver helmet with horns on his head, and his muscles were taut. Both hands were holding a blood-stained chopping ax, with dark skin and a fierce aura. He stared straight at the 'accident' in front of him and asked in a cold voice: "Who are you?"
Although this person is highly recognizable, he is not famous because he is the leader of the first slave-catching group under the Marshall family, so he always keeps a low profile.
But his strength and fighting style are anything but low-key. After all, this macho man is also an epic powerhouse.
The advanced profession of the berserker series - bloodthirsty war madness!
The man opposite him is quite famous to some extent.
I saw the 1.2-meter-tall man casually take off the rather funny semicircular helmet on his head, revealing a pale face, mediocre features, and sparse shiny head, and he sighed dejectedly. Say: "I am Fernando Fernando "
"Mercury core...Mercury core Fernand?"
The other party was stunned for a moment, then suddenly frowned deeply and said in a deep voice: "You are that. Archduke Fernand?”
"Yes, sir."
Archduke Fernand is wearing a set of gray heavy armor of unknown texture and a black cloak covering an area of about fifty square centimeters. His left hand is empty and his right arm is covered with a rectangular shield. Sighing, in a rather self-deprecating way He said in a tone of voice: "I am the Archduke Fernando who is timid, adapts to the wind, and has a weak will."
The tall Ox tribe half-orc berserker was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Timid? I don't think so."
"If you don't plan to kill the nominal leader of our Violet Empire, I guarantee that I am the kind of person I just said." Mercury Core scratched his bald forehead in distress and said with a smile: "Either you turn around now Just leave, I promise He continued to be timid and fearful, not daring to pursue him even a step."
Brill Black Hoof snorted, raised the two battle axes in his hands, and looked at the dwarf archduke in front of him fiercely: " What if I don’t leave?”
The latter shrugged: "If you don't want to leave, you can just talk to me here. We can talk about the weather or something."
"Stop pretending to be stupid here, dwarf, I'm just here." I don’t believe you are the Grand Duke or something.”
Black Hoof, who had heard many rumors about mercury cores before, remained cautious. Although he did not question Fernand’s identity in his heart, he still made a decision on the surface. The deputy threatened with a muscle-thinking look: "We are going to go through here and greet our Emperor. If you know how to look, get out of here. I will pretend I didn't see you."
To be honest, he also It was considered well-intentioned, otherwise he would not have deceived the other party into not believing his identity, implying that if he wanted to fight, he would definitely kill him.
So as long as the Grand Duke sees him well...
"Well, in that case."
The dwarf had no intention of giving up at all. He just drooped his shoulders and sighed deeply. When he raised his head again, his face was unremarkable and even All the funny looks were gone, leaving only the chill and frost in those small pupils...
A breeze blew by, and Fernand put on the mercury core again, which he had just taken off. helmet.
