Chapter 540 The man pretending to sleep
Five minutes...
For five minutes and three hundred seconds, more than seventy attackers led by Briar Blackhoof were killed by a The dwarf, who was only a little over 120 centimeters tall, was firmly rooted to the spot, unable to move any further.
You must know that there is not a single novice among these people. Even if you leave out the epic black hoof, at least 60% of the remaining people are high-level professionals. No matter how bad the others are, They are all experts at the peak of the mid-level, but they can't even cross the 'one-man defense line' in front of them. No matter how they advance or detour, as long as they cross a certain distance, a shield from God knows where will come out and hit them hard. At worst, they will be left in place, or at worst, they will be bruised and swollen. Flying out, there were not many fatal injuries, but he just couldn't get through it!
During this process, it is not that the attackers have not tried to directly attack Mercury Core Fernan himself, but they have had little effect... No, there is no effect at all, because no matter who is surrounding the latter, No matter how many people there are, they can't do any harm to him. Whether it is swords, magic, throwing alchemy items, or indiscriminate large-scale attacks, there will always be a shield, big or small, round or square, blocking Archduke Fernando, and those flying Flying up and down in front of the 'defense line', he was not disturbed in the slightest.
Not only that, every time those shields fly back, if there are too many people surrounding the mercury core, they will even knock over a few unlucky ones from any angle along the way, and then return to their master's hands. .
And the attackers discovered a horrifying fact not long after the offensive began, that is, the dwarf archduke in front of him did not use any supernatural means to control his shields, whether they were large square shields or small round shields. Whether it is a shield or a 'discus' shield, there is no magic or anything attached to it at all. It is just thrown out, and then the angle is changed by hitting something. After completing several attacks, Fly back to the hands of Mercury Core.
And they usually hit someone's head, chest, knees, shoulders, or lower abdomen. When they don't hit, they will always hit another shield flying from nowhere. In short, it's like a tarsus. It pesters everyone who tries to pass this section of the road like bone maggots, and then flies back to Fernand's hands like a tired bird returning to its nest.
Led by Briar Black Hoof, several smart people have already seen the clues, that is, the flight trajectories of those shields are completely controlled through simple calculations of strength, speed, angle, etc. Apart from intercepting them head-on, or ensuring that you are not hit by any shield, there is no way to break them.
But it is impossible to dodge all those fast, hard, fierce and numerous shields, at least the people present can't. It is not too difficult to guard against them, but it is not difficult to capture them. But it is also unrealistic. Those rapidly rotating round shields all fall back at a touch...or fly away at a touch. There is no room for catching them. Even if they are restrained by high-frequency attacks or spells with slowing properties, it is useless. Because there is always another, two or three shields whizzing over, knocking their sniped 'companions' back to their masters.
And the instigator of all this is that damn dwarf!
While blocking various attacks with one or two shields that are always in his hands, he throws out those shields that keep flying back to his hands, or adjusts other flying shields, or He throws it at attackers who are too close or too far away from the defense line, and controls this indescribably large battlefield with ease and calmness.
No one knows how strong Fernan is, because from the beginning he did not use any attacks that could reflect his ultimate power or allow people to judge his level of strength. He just kept attacking. Just repeat the two operations of blocking and intercepting.
This is enough. Just by simply blocking and intercepting, Fernando Fernando has perfectly controlled the situation.
The terrifying thing about Fernando Shield is that it does not require much power to easily control a battlefield, and the specific scope of control depends on the user's ability.
And with the strength of Mercury Core Fernand, even if Black Hoof and the gang come three times more, the situation will still not change. Maybe, none of them will die, but none of them will be able to survive.
This is the so-called Imperial Iron Gate.
[We can’t go on like this. Your Excellency didn’t say before that there would be people like this who would come out to cause trouble. We have been delayed here for so long. If it continues to be delayed, let alone the mission, everyone will have to do it. Explain...】
Brill Blackhoof, who had already passed the fearless stage of the ignorant, was already timid. He made a prompt decision and knocked himself back three meters with a heavy gouge. (Archduke Fernand did not move at all), and loudly said: "The plan is terminated, we retreat!!"
As soon as the words fell, the attackers who had been smashed out of the shadows suddenly dispersed as if they had been granted amnesty. , bursting out at an astonishing speed and galloping along the original road. In their eyes, that small figure was like a thick, boundless city wall, a chasm that they could not cross no matter how hard they tried.
And Fernan, as he said before, did not react at all to the attackers who retreated decisively, but continued to resist those who stayed to 'contain' him at the end, without any thought of who should be left behind. Plan to attack or take advantage of the situation to pursue.
However, just because he doesn’t have it, it doesn’t mean that others don’t have it.
Two rays of dark purple cold light passed by, and the two running figures fell to the ground in an instant, while their heads continued to fly for five or six meters in mid-air before hitting them with horrified expressions. on the ground.
Then, seven or eight more sharp cold lights flashed, and the attackers at the front covered their throats at the same time and fell down in despair.
Unconsciously, about thirty figures, all dressed exactly the same, appeared around the area ruled by Archduke Fernando, silently causing a bloody storm.
Equipped with a mirror mask, a one-shoulder cloak, a purple gold half-armor, a wrist blade, a short sword, and a long dagger, the highly recognizable first team of the Bauhinia Guards, who is also the team directly under Chief Zi Jing, quietly appeared on the battlefield, extremely inefficient. Harvesting the attackers who had lost their will to fight.
They were all high-level assassins in the thieves profession. They were not particularly superior in terms of strength, but they killed the attackers belonging to the Marshall Slave Catching Group in a short period of time until they were completely defeated.
This is not surprising, because these people had quietly appeared on the battlefield three minutes ago, and then silently observed the attackers' siege of Archduke Fernando, and during this period It makes an objective and comprehensive analysis of each enemy's fighting habits and strength level.
Besides Black Hoof, these people, who were the strongest and only had high-level strength, were observed for three full minutes without realizing it.
After being observed by a large number of well-trained and powerful high-level assassins for three minutes, he began to run away when his physical fitness and mentality were on the verge of collapse.
The result was naturally expected - death, death, death, death.
So, the first team of the Bauhinia Guards under Commander Purple Mirror, the most well-trained bodyguard and assassination group in the Purple Empire, took only two people in less than five minutes. At the cost of three serious injuries and minor injuries, 80% of the attackers were killed.
And their immediate boss also reappeared on the battlefield.
"Good fight..."
Zi Jing, who appeared behind Black Hoof like a ghost, casually chopped down two twenty-five-year-old Bauhinia Guards and laughed with his hoarse, severely distorted voice. He made two sounds, and then gave a slight salute to Mercury Core Fernan: "Dear Duke Fernan, can we leave the next matter to our Redbud Guards to take over?"
He had a broken arm, and there were many burn marks on his clothes and robes. He looked quite embarrassed, but his voice was still calm and calm, as if the injuries on his body did not exist at all.
"Uh... of course... no problem."
Fernand trembled as if he was frightened, caught the last flying shield with his backhand, and retreated shyly. He took half a step and said with a smile: "Um, Mr. Zijing, can you treat me as just passing by?"
Although the whole face is hidden under the mask, His expression was invisible, but Zi Jing still showed his surprise with the body movement of "slightly stagnating", and then shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency, you stepped forward to stop these assassins. I'm afraid I still have to report it to Your Majesty truthfully."
"Oh, well, although one more thing is worse than one less thing..."
Mercury Core sighed, smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders: "But now, it seems that it is really difficult for me to stay out of the matter."
Zi Jing nodded slightly: "If there is any offense, please see me..."< br>
“Nothing is offensive.”
Mercury core, who was still looking flattering just now, just waved his hand, turned around feebly and walked away from the distance, and said without looking back: "I just don't like trouble. By the way, there is no need to worry about the next attack. I have already given the signal to the Iron Gate Guards before. They should have intercepted the Dantis Golden Crow Guards here, unless the other party has The legendary powerhouse is here, otherwise it would be impossible to rush over."
"Thank you." Zi Jing nodded to Fernan's retreating back, and then quickly did a few things to his subordinates not far away. He made a gesture, and finally turned his attention back to Briar Black Hoof, who was motionless in front of him.
As for why the latter is motionless, naturally it is not because of the weird and nonsense reason of "automatically falling into a standstill when the magical girl transforms or the enemy uses verbal cannons", but because of the purple mirror. The remaining right hand was holding a long sword steadily, and the cold blade was pressed tightly against his neck.
"I ask, you answer, no delay, no lies, otherwise you will die."
The mirror-faced mask that could only reflect Black Hoof's own appearance faced him calmly, Zi Jing's cold, low but penetrating voice slowly sounded. Because the Bauhinia Guards had taken control of the situation, the other attackers who were lucky enough not to die... or who stayed behind on purpose also looked here in unison.
“Well…”
Black Hoof felt the cold sword edge on the side of his neck and nodded stiffly: "Okay."
"Name."
Zi Jing asked the question without any emotion and spoke quickly.
"Brill Blackhoof."
"Affiliated."
"Uh..."
Black Hoof was stunned when he heard the words, and then was silent for half a second. He was about to open his mouth, but unexpectedly...
Oops!
In a flash of cold light, a huge head rolled to the ground, and Zi Jing chopped off his head without hesitation.
The leader of the first slave-catching group of the Marshall family, the epic-level professional bloodthirsty war maniac Briar Blackhoof was killed simply and neatly.
"I said, no delay."
Zi Jing shook off the blood on his sword and walked slowly to an attacker who was pinned to the ground by two Bauhinia guards: "I Ask, you answer, no delay, no lies, otherwise you will die." Unexpectedly, the latter laughed dryly: "Kill me."
Oops!
Another head flew out and rolled on the ground several times.
Zijing walked up to the third attacker again and asked in his voice that still had no fluctuation at all: "I ask, you answer, no delay, no lies, otherwise you will die."
“Kill me.”
……
“I ask, you answer, no delay, no lies, otherwise you will die.”
"I won't say anything, just give it a try."
......
Zi Jing just walked around in a circle, and when he returned to the starting position, he rushed The more than seventy attackers who arrived here and the rebel Redbud Guards have all died, with no one left alive.
"Control teams 14, 15, and 16, No. 3 and No. 4, go to the front and take a look at the location of the Iron Gate Guards."
Zi Jing casually said to the Bauhinia Guards behind him After explaining, he took over the brand-new chief uniform and several bottles of potions from the other party, and disappeared into a mass of shadows: "Others remain alert, I will take care of the injuries, and I will go directly to see His Majesty in a while."
......
At the same time
"Anthony Dabbs?"
Mercury Core Fernand, who was rushing towards the Iron Gate Guards, was attacked by a young man in white robes. After stopping him, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked softly: "What do you want from me?"
Mo Tan smiled and clapped his hands gently: "Sure enough, you have been aware of my existence before. ”
Fernan was stunned again and asked subconsciously: "How did you know?"
"It's very simple. If you hadn't concluded that I was the unknown and low-strength spectator, your reaction just now would have been certain. That's it." Mo Tan made a funny expression, and then suddenly turned pale. He took half a step back with sweat on his face, his right hand trembled imperceptibly, and he stuttered: "Da...Da...Mr. Dabbs, you...why are you here?"
His lifelike expression and demeanor are exactly the same as what Fernan usually shows.
The latter raised his eyebrows in surprise (Mercury had already taken off his helmet), and then spread his hands helplessly: "So?"
"So we have the same friends. , we can have a good chat now~”
Mo Tan snapped his fingers, looked at the secretive Grand Duke in front of him with a smile, and grinned...
"As the saying goes, you can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep, but If you have opened your eyes in front of me, then we can put up our pants and talk~"
