Chapter 227 Action Begins
In response, Owen raised the corner of his mouth and said confidently: "Kadir, shoot boldly, the bullet will not hurt me at all."
Why should you appoint me?!
Kadir was reluctant at all costs and secretly turned his head to look at Viscount Jarvis. He found that the superior officer winked at him, as if to say, you can figure it out yourself.
I have no choice but to risk my life today!
"Lord, I'm offended."
Kadir had no choice but to raise the musket in his hand, and the bullets had been loaded before Owen, who was wearing armor, was about to land on the city wall.
He aimed at the arms and did not dare to target vital parts such as the chest. If the lord overestimated the protective capabilities of the lava armor, he would be doomed.
With his finger on the trigger, ready to shoot at any time, Kadir suddenly closed his eyes tightly and pulled the trigger.
There was a loud gunshot, and it was impossible to miss at such a close range.
Owen's whole body instantly released a layer of energy protective shield, blocking the incoming bullets, and streaks of orange light were emitted where he was hit.
The flying bullet was instantly crushed by its own huge kinetic energy and fell to the ground.
From beginning to end, Owen didn't make any move, he just stood there quietly.
Seeing this scene, everyone froze in place and remained motionless for a long time. It was really shocking just now.
Kadir opened his eyes little by little and found the lord standing in front of him like a normal person. He was surprised and happy.
I was surprised that the lava armor on the Lord Lord could actually block bullets, and I was happy that I was fine.
The display effect was achieved. Owen bent down and picked up the flattened bullet on the ground, held it up high and showed it to the people present.
"See? Even bullets that can penetrate steel armor cannot penetrate my lava armor. With such protective capabilities, it should be difficult for the Black Dragon King to hurt me."
In this way, Viscount Jarvis would not be able to continue to dissuade him, and the decision made by Owen would be difficult to change.
Glancing at the setting sun in the west, Owen said to everyone: "It will get dark soon, and the campaign against the Black Dragon King will begin early tomorrow morning. Let's go and prepare for the war."
Night was not suitable for fighting, so the lizardmen of the Green Lizard Alliance had to spend the night in uneasiness.
The soldiers quickly dispersed and continued to prepare for the battle.
Viscount Jarvis stepped forward, still worried and said: "Marquis Aisen, please be more careful."
"Yes, I will." Owen nodded.
Lusha came over with a grateful face and solemnly performed a knight's salute.
"Lord, I didn't expect you to fight in person. Our Shensha Tribe will never forget this heavy kindness."
Several tribesmen behind him also paid the highest respect to Owen.
"Isn't it natural for a lord to protect his subjects?" Owen responded with a smile.
Next, Owen asked Winnie to return to the castle on her own, while he chose to stay at the north wall tonight.
The reason for staying is to get familiar with the armor before the crusade begins, and to ensure that I can have some initiative during the operation without giving all the power to Alpha.
Under Alpha's guidance, Owen quickly mastered the basic operations of the suit and was able to fly autonomously in assisted mode without the need for AI to take over the suit.
Knowing that Owen was going to attract the Black Dragon King himself, Theresa and Mapel hurried to the northern city wall. They were the last people who wanted Owen to do something dangerous.
However, the crusade has been decided, and the two of them have no intention of trying to dissuade Owen, but want to stay by his side.
That night, Owen tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, because the campaign to defeat the Black Dragon King made him feel both excited and scared.
The Black Dragon King, the overlord of the Mysterious Forest, is no exaggeration to say that he has the power to destroy a country. Can he really succeed in his crusade?
Although Winster is very confident in the armor he provided, everything is unknown until the end of the operation.
There is no way to contact Winster now, and the only person Owen can ask is artificial intelligence Alpha.
[Alfa, tell me, will this campaign against the Black Dragon King be successful? 】
[There is no target data and the results cannot be analyzed.]
That's right. Am I stupid for wanting to get comfort from artificial intelligence? Owen laughed at himself in his heart.
The next day, as soon as the genius dawned, Irving was ready to leave. People close to him and senior officials from the city hall came to see him off.
All pre-war preparations have been made. Residents living in the northern part of Border Guard Town have been arranged to take refuge in the southern part. Factories have also stopped working. The People's Army has gotten up and is ready to go into battle at any time.
Since the breastplate was destroyed, Angelica had to put on Mapel's armor and prepare to follow Owen.
Seeing her armor being worn by others, Mapel asked uneasily: "Angelica, does this suit of armor fit me?"
"Except for a little pressure on my chest, there's nothing wrong with it." Angelica answered frankly.
"ha?!"
Hearing this answer, Mapel was greatly shocked.
Now is not the time to be depressed. She shook her head and told Angelica: "You must protect Mr. Owen."
"Protect Lord Owen?"
After turning over and riding the Pegasus, Angelica looked back at Mapel.
"It's hard to say. Maybe I still need him to protect me."
On the other side, Owen was equipped with lava armor, and the senior officials who saw this new magic for the first time were wide-eyed in shock.
"Then, I'm going."
A jet pipe stretched out from behind, spraying out colorless flames at the same time as the soles of his feet, and Owen slowly rose into the air.
Seeing this scene, some officials couldn't keep their mouths shut. Even Clive, who thought he had long been accustomed to the Lord's unusual behavior, was shocked.
Turning around to face the Mysterious Forest, Owen controlled the armor and flew away quickly.
Seeing this, Angelica also flew up on her Pegasus and caught up with Owen from behind.
Watching the two people flying away from below, Mapel felt deeply envious. If he had a Pegasus, he could accompany them and better protect Lord Owen.
It's good to think about this. You have to join the Rumicale Cult and become a Templar to get the Pegasus. Marpel doesn't want to leave Owen's side.
In the air, Owen deliberately slowed down his flying speed so that Angelica could catch up with him.
After a while, Angelica caught up with Owen on her Pegasus, flying behind and to the right of him.
Noticing that the other party was following him, Owen turned around and said, "Angelica, I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to participate in this crusade against the Black Dragon King."
"No way, my mission is to protect you. Since you want to attract the Black Dragon King yourself, I have no choice but to act with you." Angelica responded.
"Oh, it turns out it was my fault."
"It's good that you know." Angelica said, "Speaking of which, how confident are you in this crusade?"
"It's hard to say, I'll give it a 50-50 shot."
