"With your amazing strength, outstanding martial arts, and the fact that you are still so young, you are definitely one of the few strong men even within the entire empire.
If you are allowed to grow up for a few years, you may be able to surpass General Esdeath.
It is said that you were once one of the emperor's people, so why did you, who clearly had a bright future, embark on such a path and become one of the rebels?"
General Bude just does not interfere in politics, but it does not mean that he is ignorant of what is happening in the imperial capital.
He also has a certain understanding of the members of "Night Raid", and he has always felt very sorry for the existence of Najexitan, Brand and Wood.
Regardless of whether it was Najexitan, Brand or Wood, they were all outstanding imperial soldiers before, and even generals of the empire. They were supposed to open up territories for the empire, but in the end they became the opposite of the empire.
, and even want to overthrow the current empire.
In the past, General Bude only heard about Wood's affairs. It was only now that he had direct contact with him, and he realized that the young man in front of him was far more outstanding than he had imagined.
He has always believed that Esdeath is the strongest warrior he has ever encountered, but now the Wood in front of him is not inferior to Esdeath!
He could obviously become the mainstay of the empire, but it was because of those bastards, Minister Ernest, who forcefully forced him to be on the opposite side.
It is also for this reason that General Bude now hates Minister Onest even more, so much so that he decided to wait until this storm has passed, then he will break his own principles and personally eradicate the root cause of disturbing the peace and tranquility of the country - Onest.
Minister Sturt and others.
"General Bude should also know very well, am I the one who is willing to fall?
As the supreme commander of the empire and one of the late emperor's trusted ministers, look what you have done.
Although Minister Ernest is a bastard, in my opinion, you, who are rated as upright and rigid, are no better than him."
After hearing what Wood said, the lightning on General Bude's body suddenly spread like anger, spreading to all directions and exploding again.
"You say I'm the same as that bastard Ernest? I'm also the culprit responsible for the decline of the empire!"
General Bude admired Wood quite a lot, but this did not mean that he could tolerate Wood's casual insults to him. He had always felt that Minister Ernest was the trash of the empire, but at this moment, Wood bluntly stated that there was no difference between him and him.
!
"Is there something wrong with what I said? You obviously have the ability to influence the emperor, but you chose to stand by and watch.
Although you think you have protected many good ministers of the empire with your authority, do you know how many civilians and low-level generals of the empire died because of this?"
After hearing what Wood said, General Bude clenched his fists. He was about to say that he was a military general and could not participate in politics according to the ancestral teachings. As soon as he said the words, he was directly retorted by Wood.
"Don't ever tell me such nonsense that generals cannot interfere in internal affairs!
The entire empire is about to collapse because of this. How can you say that the ancestral precepts are not true? As the leader of the empire's generals, shouldn't he protect the people?
But how can you be so upright if you can't even do this? Minister Ernest is going to die, and so is the little emperor, and no one can stop me.
I said it! Ghosts and gods are coming - the Winter Knight!"
The biting cold air erupted from Wood's body and spread to the entire hall at an alarming speed. As a giant ice-blue dragon covered Wood's figure, the frost like white mist also instantly covered all directions!
"I admit that Ernest deserves to die, but he must be punished by the laws of the empire, and I will not let you touch His Majesty the Emperor, nor will I let the empire be overthrown because of this.
Because that is also the duty that I, Bude, should perform as a general!"
As Wood used his imperial equipment, General Bude on the other side obviously started to take action at this moment.
Violent golden thunder erupted from the armor on his body, and the violent arc not only shattered the ground easily, but even broke through the ceiling of the hall and disappeared directly into the sky.
On the other hand, on Wood's side, the ice mist turned into a huge tornado. Not only did it freeze everything around it in an instant, the powerful tornado soaring into the sky also shattered the ceiling in the hall.
Because the noise caused by the two men was so great, the spacious hall where the emperor usually met with his courtiers became shaky at this moment.
Several of the more than twenty stone pillars supporting the entire hall had been broken due to the previous battle. At this moment, due to the impact of the Imperial Gears of Wood and General Bude, a dozen more were shattered.
And it's only a matter of time that the remaining ten or so roots will break.
It was also because the noise caused by the two of them was so great that the battle between Heitong and the other two "Four Rakshasa Ghosts" had to be stopped and they chose to evacuate.
Because if she continues to stay here, both herself and the enemy "Four Rakshasa Ghosts" will be buried alive by the ruins of the palace.
"Thor's Wrath!"
"Hyakki Mitsurugi-ryu - Snow Girl!"
Compared to other people who were fleeing everywhere, the two initiators of the palace collapse, Wood and General Bude, were extremely calm at the moment.
And the moment their eyes met, the two of them almost disappeared in unison. On General Bude's side, the figure dragged out pulsating lightning arcs, while on Wood's side, there were waves of snowflakes.
When the two figures reappeared, they had already arrived at a central location dozens of meters away from where they originally stood, and launched attacks on each other at the same time!
The iron stake on General Bude's arm erupted with bursts of thunder and lightning at this moment, even stirring up the thunder in the sky. The whole thing was bathed in the thunder swamp. Then the violent thunder was compressed in one arm and directed toward
Then Wood punched out.
As for Wood, his whole body was covered with armor. When the blade slashed, the crushing cold air instantly froze the surroundings. Even because of the strong temperature difference, General Bude felt that he saw a person behind Wood.
A beautiful woman in white clothes holding a long sword in her hand.
"boom------!"
The violent thunder collided with the bone-chilling ice and snow, and the strong shock wave first caused a vacuum environment to be instantly formed in the center, and then the huge shock wave took on a ring shape and spread directly to the surroundings.
The palace stone pillars, which were originally full of cracks, were all broken in an instant under the extraordinary impact of the two men.
The palace, which was already crumbling, collapsed in an instant without the last dozen or so stone pillars.
Compared with General Bude's Thunder Emperor's Arms "Admelech", Wood's "Winter Knight" is actually incomparable with its ice abilities.
Controlling ice is only a subsidiary ability of "Winter Knight", and increasing one's own full-body armor is its main ability.
However, "Snow Girl" itself is an ice-type swordsmanship in the Wood Hyakki Sword Style, and now it has the bonus of "Winter Knight". When the two are superimposed, it naturally explodes with considerable power.
Under this wave of impact, Nuo Da's palace was directly reduced to ruins. The "Four Rakshasa Ghosts" and Heitong didn't know who won the victory.
But what we know is that under such a terrifying impact, even the winner will definitely not be in a comfortable situation at this moment.
If they didn't get out of trouble early, the rubble ruins formed by these palaces alone would be enough for the two of them to suffocate to death.
However, just as Heitong and Chelsea were looking anxious and preparing to search for traces of Wood in the ruins, two powerful updrafts suddenly burst out from the ruins.
Then a figure wrapped in thunder and another figure wearing blue armor rushed out from two corners of the ruins at the same time, and rushed towards each other again in unison!
"Are those two guys monsters? Under the impact just now, the entire palace collapsed, and they didn't even do anything!"
Seeing Generals Wood and Bude rushing toward both sides, surrounded by the "Four Rakshasa Ghosts" that exceeded human limits, they couldn't help but look shocked at this moment.
They were not surprised that General Wood and General Bude did not die from the attack just now, but under such a collision, both of them were unscathed, which was a bit outrageous.
Wood's "Winter Knight" is an armor-type Teigu, and with the protection of the armor color, even if the palace collapses, it will not cause any harm.
General Bude's Imperial Equipment "Admelech" is also an armor-type Imperial Equipment. Coupled with the lightning armor activated on his body, the rocks were already broken into pieces by thunder and lightning before they fell on him. Naturally, it was impossible because of this.
Injured when the palace collapsed.
At this moment, Wood and General Bude were both constantly colliding on the ruins of the palace at extremely fast speeds. Their speed was so fast that the four Rakshasa ghosts, who had always been very confident in their speed—
——The horse head was amazed.
Compared to other powerful people present, Chelsea, who had average combat power, could only see a blue afterimage and a golden thunder and lightning on the field, colliding with each other from time to time, causing huge damage to the surroundings.
As for the current battle situation, whether Wood has the upper hand or General Bude has the upper hand, Chelsea couldn't tell at all, so she could only look to the side with black eyes for help.
"Their level is too high, and I can't see much, but I think Wood should be stronger.
Don’t forget, Wood has another imperial weapon that he hasn’t used yet. Once he uses it, General Bude will be defeated instantly..."
Heitong and the others knew that even though Wood and General Bude were now evenly matched, Wood had not yet shown his full strength.
Once the imperial weapon called "Heart of God" is used, the current situation of rivalry will be broken instantly. General Bude cannot be the opponent of Wood, whose strength has surged again.
However, Heitong and Chelsea also understand that the side effects of "Heart of God" are too great. Wood once told them that after saving Heitong, if he uses it one or two more times, he might be exhausted.
I tried my best.
Although Wood said this with a playful smile, Chelsea and Ma Yin could tell at the time that Wood was not joking.
Wood, who was in a high-speed collision with General Bude on the field, was also engaged in a fierce ideological struggle at this moment.
To be honest, although he is also dubbed the "strongest" in the empire, in Wood's view, General Bude's strength is much inferior to Esdeath.
Leaving aside the strength of the Teigu itself, General Bude is already old, and his physical fitness is far inferior to that of the young Esdeath.
Then there is the aspect of combat experience and combat skills. As a general of the empire, General Bude, who has many years of combat experience, is no worse than Esdeath.
But when it comes to factors such as the degree of danger and intuition, Wood feels that Esdeath is much more difficult to deal with than General Bude.
When fighting Esdeath, Wood felt that the opponent was more like a pure beast. Not only was his fighting style effective, but his combat intuition and reflexes were also sharp to an inhuman level.
Facing such a dangerous enemy, even Wood, who is a "great swordsman", has to fight on thin ice, worried that if he is not careful, he will be counterattacked by the opponent.
General Bude's fighting style is that of a veteran with superb fighting skills. Although his martial arts skills are quite superb, his steady and steady fighting style and moves are all traceable, which does not put too much pressure on Wood.
Even without using the power of the "Heart of God", as long as the battle continues like this, he can still defeat General Bude.
But there is something that Wood needs to consider, that is, by the time his side securely captures General Bude, Minister Ernest and the little emperor will have already fled.
But if he uses the "Heart of God", Wood is worried that after this wave, he may end his simulated life directly because his life force is exhausted.
"It seems that I have to imitate the fighting style of that guy Esdeath, otherwise I won't be able to break the deadlock now."
Wood and General Bude collided again. General Bude waved his thunder-wrapped fist and punched Wood in the face, while Wood held a knife in both hands and struck the opponent's chest with a knife.
According to the previous situation, Generals Wood and Bude, who were steady and steady, would probably change the angle of attack or choose to avoid because they sensed danger.
But this time General Bude was confused, because Wood in front of him looked at his roaring thunder fist, and he didn't even have the slightest intention to dodge, but swung it towards him with a firm face.
long knife.
At this point, it was impossible to change his tactics temporarily. If he stopped, he would only receive a blow in vain, so General Bude also showed a fierce look on his face and punched Wood directly in the handsome face!
"Boom X2——————!"
Two loud noises were heard one after another above the ruins of the palace. The bodies of Generals Wood and Bude, who were attacked by each other, also flew upside down and crashed directly into the ruins.
