The royal capital is located in a remote county, a restricted area, and surrounded by a closed tree.
The ring-sealed tree standing here is full of cracks, as if it will fall down any moment, and blood gushes out from the holes in the trunk.
With a click, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck and struck the ringed tree. You know, it was a sunny day and the sun was extremely hot.
Soldier Captain Jiaba's face lost all color. He clenched his lance in his hand and suppressed the fear in his heart. After all, he was a man who had been on the battlefield.
Bang.
A red signal flare was launched into the sky, and the surrounding soldiers were not frightened. Otherwise, they would not be qualified to guard the Encircling Tree.
"Return to the siege battle formation! No matter what the cost, stop the war demon. He has been sealed for more than ten years and is very weak. Follow-up reinforcements will arrive soon!"
After the soldier captain Jiaba roared, he slightly lowered his body, raised his left hand wrapped in arm armor, and placed it in front of him. The lance in the other hand was placed on his left forearm. The lance collided with the armor and issued a loud sound.
There was a muffled sound.
A circular spell appeared on the armor behind his back. This was the charge spell. Soldiers with the charge spell were rare to begin with, and those with the charge spell were always at the forefront of the battlefield.
In addition to the soldier captain Jiaba, there are four other soldier captains wearing scale armor. They are all located near Jiaba at this time. Three men and one female. Among the three male soldier captains, two of them are carrying heavy cavalry swords as wide as a palm.
, standing on the left and right of Jiaba, the remaining person was holding a full-metal giant crossbow at the back.
The last female soldier is a captain. She wears very light scale armor and holds a short stabbing sword in each hand. The handle of this stabbing sword is similar to the length of the sword body. It is different from the thinness of normal stabbing swords.
The short stabbing sword is wider and thicker, like two sword cones.
This female soldier looks like a leopard. She is squatting on the ground, ready to charge forward. Although she looks delicate, the muscles in her legs are bulging. A soldier should be this strong.
"He is destroying the sealing technique in the tree!"
The female soldier captain had the keenest perception and immediately judged why Su Xiao did not come out of the ring-sealing tree.
With a bang, the half-crouched female soldier turned into an afterimage and headed straight for the hole in the surrounding tree. She was almost flying close to the ground.
The female soldier captain rushed into the hole in the ring-sealed tree. The other four soldier captains did not stop them. They all knew that the female soldier captain was a scout. They could delay every second they could. Even if they were going to die, they had to do it one by one.
Try to delay as much time as possible.
The four of them knew very well that if they rushed forward together, they would all be wiped out in an instant. If they rushed forward one by one, they might be able to fight for a while.
Pfft.
Blood splashed from the ringing tree, and then there was no movement. Most likely about 2 seconds later, footsteps came from the ringing tree, and all the surrounding bows and crossbows turned against the holes in the ringing tree.
"It's surprisingly simple, he's too weak."
The female soldier captain raised her hand holding the rapier and wiped the blood on her face with the back of her hand.
"Um?"
Everyone on the battlefield, including the soldier captain Jiaba, was a little confused. Among them, the mage apprentice Pepeni groaned, her legs were weak and she knelt on the ground. She was so scared that she almost peed just now.
"Is it okay if that guy dies? I stabbed his throat."
The female soldier captain raised the dagger in her hand and licked the bloody sword tip with her tongue.
"It would be best to die."
Soldier Captain Jiaba did not relax his vigilance, but the next moment, he heard the sound of falling to the ground beside him.
There was a clang, and the armor hit the ground. A soldier with a short stabbing sword stuck on the side of his neck fell to the ground, and blood spread under him.
There was another pop, and the soldier commander holding a heavy crossbow in the distance also fell to the ground, and a short stabbing sword penetrated his head, killing him.
Seeing this scene, the soldier captain Jiaba was extremely angry.
"Efendi Guido!"
Soldier Captain Jiaba stared at the female soldier captain, and the female soldier captain Yifendi Jiduoer was riding on the back of a corpse, holding a short stabbing sword in one hand, grinning,
There was a faint red light in her eyes.
The reason for this is because one of Su Xiao's weapons, to be precise, is the [Whisper of the Soul] short knife.
Equipment effect 1: Will·Erosion (passive), if this weapon is pierced into the enemy's back neck and heart, the weapon holder can control the enemy's actions after the enemy's health drops below 30%.
Tip: You can control the enemy for up to 56 minutes (depending on the intelligence attribute). The enemy will die after 56 minutes.
Tip: This weapon cannot control leaders, lords, and overlord-level units.
Tip: While controlling the enemy, this weapon will be integrated into the enemy's body.
…
Ifendi Gidor is being manipulated now. She is in a state of automatic control. Su Xiao just gave an instruction. How to do it depends on Ifendi Gidor's instinctive memory.
'Bendō Sword·Super·Kankana!'
Zheng.
The ring-shaped sword light spread out from the ring-sealed tree at an extremely fast speed, and spread to disappear in the next instant.
The hundreds of soldiers surrounding the area were motionless. First, a streak of blood appeared on their armor, and then streams of blood spattered away.
Tick tock, tick tock~
Blood dripped down the arm of Soldier Captain Jiaba. The lance in his hand was lying in front of him, and a slash mark appeared on the handle of the gun. Behind him were the old court mage and the mage apprentice Pepeni.
Except for these three people, no one around survived.
With a roar, the ring-sealing tree fell down, and the spells blessed on it quickly shattered and dissipated in the air.
Su Xiao exerted force with his left hand, and the shackles that bound his left arm broke apart one after another. When the last shackle was broken, his combat power was completely restored.
"Honour, fearlessness!"
Soldier Captain Jiaba strode towards Su Xiao. The ground he stepped on cracked apart, and a cyclone formed on the lance in his hand. In his eyes, everything slowed down, and his condition had never been better than now.
Space fluctuations appeared, and Su Xiao disappeared on the spot. When he reappeared, he was already standing behind the soldier captain Jiaba, with blood dripping down the blade.
With a pop, Soldier Captain Jiaba fell to the ground, and his bodies were separated. The slightest difference in strength could determine life or death, not to mention that the difference in combat power between him and Su Xiao was huge, too big to be bridged.
"Efendi Guido, which direction is Chimney Mountain?"
Su Xiao's eyes looked at Ifanti Giduoer, but Yifendi Guiduoer was lying on the ground, blood gurgling from her throat.
"Isn't it possible anymore?"
Su Xiao raised his hand, and the [Whisper of the Soul] short knife materialized on Yifendi Jiduoer's chest, pulled it out on its own, and was held by Su Xiao in his left hand.
"You two, which direction is Chimney Mountain?"
Su Xiao looked at the old palace mage and the mage apprentice Peppa Ni.
"You villain, don't even think about it..."
Pfft.
A cut mark stretched across the chest of the old palace mage. Because his heart was cut through, the old palace mage fell to the ground and died.
"Woo~"
Peppa Ni sat paralyzed on the ground, tears welling up in her eyes. She felt like she was about to say goodbye to this world, and a pool of light yellow liquid spread under her body.
"Chimney Hill...is, over there."
Peppa Pig raised her trembling hand and pointed to the east.
"Thank you."
Su Xiao walked to the east side and looked at Su Xiao's back. Peppa Ni sat slumped on the spot stupidly. Just when she thought she was lucky to survive, she suddenly felt a sense of moisture coming from her chest. She lowered her head and looked down.
, saw his clothes stained red with blood.
After a feeling of dizziness, Peppa Ni fell to the ground. Before she was on the verge of unconsciousness, she seemed to hear the sound of footsteps.
Su Xiao didn't know what kind of city Wangdu Pianjun was, but he was sure that this world was the kind of world where once soldiers gathered to a certain scale, their combat power would be terrifying. He had experienced this kind of world several times.
Therefore, if you want to forcefully fight out from the royal capital's remote counties, you need to pay a high price, and you may even be overwhelmed by the human sea tactics. If there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed here, it will be difficult to fight out, and there are large war weapons.
The possibility of death here due to siege is very high.
Su Xiao never thought about fighting out, he needed a chance.
Large trees fell in disorder around Su Xiao. He looked at the semi-conscious mage apprentice Peppa Pig in the distance, detected the other party's information, and when he determined that the time had come, he jumped back with a few jumps.
Su Xiao first disposed of the body of the old palace mage, and after taking off [Wild Night], he took out the [Ancient Mask] and poured the blood of the old palace mage on it, and the blood was immediately absorbed by the mask.
After doing all this, Su Xiao released his perception. Tens of thousands of breaths were approaching quickly, and it wouldn't take long before they would enter within a few hundred meters of the surrounding area.
From the attack by the gray orcs to the complete escape, it only took Su Xiao less than half a minute. However, the troops in the capital's partial counties had already reacted, and the reinforcements were too fast.
After putting away Dragon Slaying Flash and Whisper of the Soul, the crystal layer clung to Su Xiao's right hand, forming a blade shape. He relaxed his body and cut his chest with the knife. After slicing the entire chest, he put on the ancient mask.
When Su Xiao fell to the ground, he had transformed into the appearance of the old court mage. His breath, appearance, and clothes were all exactly the same.
About half a minute later, there were footsteps nearby.
"This injury is too serious. He is already on the verge of death. Go and save the girl."
"Quick, quick! Let her wake up as quickly as possible."
"Where am I? Am I not dead?"
A weak voice came, it was the mage apprentice Pepeni.
"Where is the war demon? Tell me!"
"I, I, he..."
It could be heard from Peppa Pig's tone that she was frightened, but she gradually calmed down under the comfort of the technique.
"He was going to Chimney Hill. I pointed him in the wrong direction. He walked to the east. That side...should be east."
Peppa Pig's tone was very unconfident.
"Silly boy, you are pointing to the west, which is where Chimney Mountain is, but we will remember your bravery."
"ah?"
Peppa Ni suspected that she was dead. She originally wanted to mislead Su Xiao, but in her nervousness, she pointed in the wrong direction, pointing to the location of Chimney Mountain.
"Chase! We must not let him return to Chimney Hill!"
When the officers among the soldiers shouted these words, they all had a slight vibrato.
"What should we do with this seriously injured person?"
"Send it to the Holy See and try our best to save him."
After the officer left these words, he led a group of soldiers to pursue him. After a while, they discovered the traces left by Su Xiao.
