Chapter 538 The Iron Gate of the Empire
“Overestimating one’s capabilities!”
Staring at the middle-aged dwarf without any momentum in front of him, Brill’s black hoof fire started in his heart and his evil followed. Out of fear, he let out a deafening roar and raised two heavy battle axes high.
With the addition of bloodthirsty and violent power, his already tangled muscles expanded in a full circle again, a pair of bell-like bull eyes turned from black to red, and his huge body remained in place. In a flash, he burst out at a speed that was completely inconsistent with his devilish body. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of the mercury-core Fernan. He swung down the ax with blood flowing in his hand, He "patted" straight towards the latter.
Note that it is 'shoot' rather than 'cleave'. After all, Mercury Core is the grand duke of the Violet Empire. If Black Hoof doesn't even spare the slightest bit of strength, he will chop this troublesome dwarf into pieces. If the two halves attack with this kind of mentality, then it is impossible for him to become the leader of the slave-catching group.
It was an established plan to assassinate Emperor Clervaux, but beheading another Grand Duke in the process was not. If he really killed two of the most powerful people in this attack, there was a high probability that he would be killed afterwards. He would be betrayed and take the blame, so he would never do such a thing.
[This dwarf thinks so too, we don’t dare to kill anyone...]
Black Hoof showed a ferocious smile, and then added a little more strength to his hand. .
Although I really don’t dare to kill him, if I just beat him half to death, hey, do I really think that people like us who specialize in doing dirty work will hold back?
【It’s really too heavenly...】
Boom! ! !
"Too naive, this..."
Archduke Fernando said this in an unprecedented calm tone, turned his head and glanced at the opponent who smashed the shield, Zhan Ax, who couldn't hold it down no matter what, tilted his head slightly: "Well... what's your name?"
"That's unreasonable!"
Black Hoof's hair suddenly exploded. , his keen mind made him realize for the first time that Archduke Fernando was definitely not as simple as he seemed, and his cruel character made him immediately launch a second round of fatal attacks, which was to smash the battle ax in his hand. Standing next to Mercury Core, he tried to use [Blood Energy Explosion] to knock him into the air, and then used his height advantage to strangle him in the air with 100% of his strength!
However...
The smoke and dust exploded, and the earth burst into pieces within a radius of three meters centered on Mercury Core Fernan. Several streams of blood that seemed to have substance surged out, coming from below with great force. The Supreme struck hard at the dwarf archduke who was holding the shield with one hand, but it did not send his thin and short body flying high. In fact, let alone being knocked away, the opponent didn't even move, he was just calm. He looked at the dumbfounded Black Hooves.
“It’s a good idea.”
Mercury Core nodded, the corners of his mouth under the helmet were slightly raised, and then he lightly patted the shield on his right arm: “It’s just...although I It’s true that my weight can’t withstand the impact, but you don’t think this thing is as light as me, right?”
Black Hoof did not answer him, but panted and swung the weapon again, no. With a little bit of energy left, he activated [Extreme Collapse of Mountains and Ground Slash], which is the signature skill of the epic-level professional bloodthirsty war maniac. By stimulating the blood and energy in his body in a short period of time, and combining it with the violent force to launch a super-heavy slash, despite the attack It is slow and takes a long time to accumulate momentum, but as long as it is hit hard, its power is enough to seriously injure most enemies who cannot fully crush oneself. As for those opponents who are half a pound or worse than oneself, they may be killed directly. !
But he saw a thick blood mist burst out from Black Hoof's right arm, and then attached to the ax in his hand as if it was alive, and condensed on it to form a blood-colored blade that was more than two meters long, in mid-air An afterimage was drawn in the middle, and it suddenly fell with a dense sonic boom!
I have to say that Black Hoof is a very smart person. In terms of combat IQ, he is better than the great mage Scopiskrin who once crushed Mo Tan and others in the Cassero Grassland. I don't know how many times Jie was stronger. This strong man with well-developed limbs but not a simple mind made a judgment with just two test moves and Fernand's half-sentence, that is, although the opponent has strong resistance to blows, But it has a fatal flaw in terms of speed, as Mercury Core himself said , although his shield can withstand his own attacks, its weight must be very terrifying. If this is the case, [Extreme Collapse of Mountains and Ground Slash], which seems to have little practical value due to its slow attack speed, has a place to be used. If the opponent resists forcefully, even with the shield, he will be hit by all-round health attacks. If the opponent wants to escape, the heavy shield will be a drag. If you dodge by throwing away the shield and escaping, then your subsequent attacks will be You can definitely kill him!
To sum up, Black Hoof made a decision in the blink of an eye and launched this move that Archduke Fernando could not avoid!
And because of his Ox-Clan half-orc blood, the charging speed in a violent state has been compressed from two seconds to one second...
"Give it to me!! ! ”
The war cry exploded, and the ax fell sharply. Amidst the roar of black hooves, Fernando Fernando was instantly involved in the turbulent blood shadow as heavy as a thousand stones, along with the remaining land of nearly ten square meters. Smashed to pieces.
If you follow the plot trend in Black Hoof's mind, the result should be like this...
It would be better if Archduke Fernando's body was not found, than if Archduke Fernando had his head chopped off. explain.
However...
“It’s a bit interesting.”
The unscathed Mercury Core stood on the unscathed ground and asked Black Hoof as if chatting: "Is there anything stronger?"
"Impossible!!!"
The latter was completely in a state of confusion at this moment. He looked at the dwarf in front of him in disbelief. , rushed up like Shi Lezhi, waving ax shadows all over the sky with his hands, launched an unorganized and selfless offensive against the latter, and shouted as if he was mad: "Why are you not dead yet! Not dead yet!" Not dead yet!”
Because the opponent’s offensive has obviously become chaotic. It was a mess, so Mercury Core just raised his shield normally, and while blocking Black Hoof's attack lightly, he said calmly: "If you are talking about the blow just now, to put it simply, I was the one who attacked you. I rushed forward in an instant, and then removed all the blood, strength, and inertia from your weapon. , so I’m still alive.”
Black Hoof seemed to have been completely driven crazy at this moment, and his messy attacks became faster and harder, and his voice became louder. Laida: "How could you let go of my earth-shattering mountain..."
"This has nothing to do with your moves, sir."
Mercury Core shrugged and explained slowly: "The principle of unloading force is not complicated, as long as I..."
"It's now!"
Black Hoof suddenly let out a loud roar, and the frantic look in his eyes instantly returned to clarity, and a very villainous and cunning smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Go and finish it now. Mission!" The next moment, dozens of attackers who had been watching the battle rushed forward at the same speed. They had already received the Black Hoof signal, completely ignoring Mercury Core Fernan, and headed straight not far away. Kill wherever Clairva Bresne is, and spread out very widely!
Although it seems that a long time has passed, less than three minutes have passed since Black Hoof and others encountered Fernand. The designed Bauhinia Guards and Royal Guards have not yet reacted, so if there is an internal response, Under the circumstances, the defense of this position was still empty for this group of people.
As for Black Hoof’s angry and demented behavior before, it is naturally due to his acting skills...
As I said before, this guy is definitely not a brainless person to be able to reach his current position. Under the appearance of his well-developed limbs, there is a funny...old and sinister soul, so after discovering that several of his attacks failed, the LYB decisively changed his strategy, while using seemingly unorganized tactics. The attack entangled the mercury core, while secretly signaling to his subordinates, and the slave catchers who understood it whispered to the Redbud Guards under Ruibo, and in a short time they made a quite practical plan.
At the same time, after issuing the command, Black Hoof immediately switched his attack style seamlessly. The original chaotic attack instantly became sharp and orderly, full of routines, and the mercury core just happened to be stuck in it and he had adapted to his behavior. When hacking and slashing, this kind of situation is very difficult for people to adapt to in high-frequency battles, so even if the mercury core can survive this attack unscathed like before, in theory it will be difficult to free up its hands to stop other attacks. The attackers were able to advance freely. You must know that there were more than seventy people on the other side. Even if Fernand could intercept a few of them, the impact on the overall situation would be minimal. Clerval must die.
However, ambiguous words like 'Theoretically it's difficult to free up' and 'Even if Fernan can intercept a few of them' are actually meaningless.
So...
Boom!
“Ah!”
A nimble thief who had previously participated in the attack on Fernan exclaimed and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
Boom!
"Uh-huh!"
A mage who had blessed himself with floating skills and moved forward like a dragonfly on water widened his eyes, covered his lower back and fell down.
Boom!
"What..."
Two knights charging side by side fell from their mounts at the same time, and the visors of their helmets became extremely flat, as if they had been hit by a door panel.
Boom!
A dark shadow flashed in the eyes of a half-orc ranger, and then he felt a suffocation in his chest, and he fainted without taking a breath.
Boom!
The orc warrior, who was immersed in charging, swayed twice, rolled his eyes in mosquito coils, and sat down on the ground, with a large bruise on his forehead.
Boom!
A hidden thief cried out in pain, hugged his knees and rolled forward twice, fluttering twice but unable to get up.
Boom!
Boom! !
Boom, boom, boom! ! !
Along with the bursts of 'bang bang' sounds, Black Hoof, who had only subconsciously waved the weapon, was completely shocked. He clearly saw that the mercury-core Fernan in front of him suddenly threw out the rectangular weapon in his hand. shield, and then took out a piece with a radius of only thirty centimeters from behind. The small round shield continued to block the oncoming attacks. Five seconds later, the square shield, which had knocked over four of his subordinates, flew back with a roar. The dwarf in front of him caught it in his hand and intercepted it lightly. Hold yourself back with a powerful and heavy chop, and then...
Then the whole damn dwarf unexpectedly threw out the small buckler again, and the latter also turned into an afterimage and flew out, knocking over five or six people as if it was given life, and then flew back to Fernand's hand obediently. inside.
This is not over yet. After catching the small buckler again, Mercury Core unexpectedly threw out two shields at the same time while his footing was not stable, and then he pulled out a shield bigger than him from nowhere. He held the 'shield', which looked like a discus at first glance, in his hand, and waved it like a fan, thus dispelling his follow-up attack!
The most outrageous thing is that when the rectangular heavy shield and small buckler that had smashed over twenty people flew back, Mercury Core actually threw the 'discus' in his hand again, and then caught it with his backhand Hold the buckler to block the black hoof. After a side slap, he threw it out, then caught the square shield, blocked Black Hoof's follow-up blow and threw it out. Finally, he removed the round shoulder armor from his left shoulder, and the three shields were flipped around. Feishi continued to play tricks with Black Hoof lightly.
Because the order given by Black Hoof was a free assault, these attackers naturally did not march in the same direction during the sprint. Instead, they attacked the Violet Formation from both sides and even from the sky at different speeds. , and this is precisely why they were killed The core reason for being intercepted in front of Mercury Core's 'one-man defense line' is that no matter who rushes to the front, they will always be knocked over with a 'bang' sound. Although the injury is not serious, it is definitely not light. If you get up and continue, then Just getting knocked over again, over and over again.
In Black Hoof's eyes, this was already considered a supernatural event. He felt that those shields were simply alive!
"This is called the Shield Technique, the Fernando Shield Technique."
Mercury Core Fernando Archduke seemed to see through what he was thinking, and explained calmly: "Everyone in the Fernando family has You should start practicing something from a young age. As you can see, it is not very powerful, but if it is like this This situation that you have thought about and I don't want you to live in will become very advantageous."
"How...it makes no sense!"
Black Hoof is really taking advantage of me now. I panicked, because the number of people who were knocked to the ground exceeded thirty, and the number was still increasing!
“It’s nothing extraordinary. Of course, the process of practicing shield is quite boring. It’s common to be hit more than two hundred times a day. One of my cousins couldn’t stand it anymore and secretly went to the Justice Sect to work as a pawn. "The Holy Knight." Mercury core threw his shoulder. A', raised his hand to catch the square shield whizzing back, and firmly intercepted the second strike of Black Hoof [extremely cracking mountain collapse strike], and chuckled: "As the head of the family, I naturally can't escape. , so I can only bite the bullet and continue to practice this craft and become..."
At this moment, more than half of the attackers fell...
Black Hooves was kicked back a few steps by the force of the counter-shock, with a look of despair on his face.
The mercury-core Fernand gently punched the said heavy shield on the ground and shrugged...
"Becoming a violet - the Imperial Iron Gate."
