Blue Sword

Braun, the imperial extraordinary scholar of the Fifth Age, once proposed a famous "Law of Loneliness of the Extraordinary", namely:

Extraordinary people are not suitable for long-term cooperation with others.

The reason is also very simple: imagine that you are a low-level transcendent, and now you can choose whether to cooperate with another transcendent.

If the other party's sequence does not coincide with yours, it means that there is no common interest between you. He needs the magic potion of the "Fire" sequence, and you need the formula of the "Soul" sequence. So when two people work together, whose request should be given priority?

If the other party's sequence highly overlaps with yours, the situation will be even more complicated and scary. Because you must always be wary of the other party suddenly handing over a knife under bad circumstances, and then taking away the extraordinary characteristics of your corpse - after all, in the case of similar sequences, the absorption efficiency of hand-squeezing characteristics is very high.

In the final analysis, the extraordinary world is highly exclusive and predatory. There is no connection between different sequences, and there is a high degree of competition between sequences of the same kind. Therefore, the vast majority of extraordinary beings absolutely tend to act alone, and will only encounter a single person. When the problem is really unsolvable, you have to consider cooperating with others.

Even so, cooperation based on short-term interests is extremely short-lived.

But what the knights of Thuringia saw now was such a strange mercenary group:

The average level of all Transcendents is close to Lv. 9, and their sequences may or may not overlap. However, they work closely together and are not at all wary that the other party will covet their own extraordinary characteristics, or that the team will focus on promotion. Somewhat partial.

If Albrecht was a senior transcendent, he would definitely be very interested in the organizational structure of the Blue Sword Mercenary Group. Unfortunately, he was just an ordinary young noble knight from the Wettin family.

Everyone rushed to the center of the town and heard a loud dragon roar.

A large number of demons fell from the air, struggling in the dark green acid, and their bodies quickly dissolved like sugar cubes dropped into hot water.

Walking out of the damaged building was Hedwig, the demigod of the Saxon family. He looked at the people who came to support him with cold eyes and nodded slightly.

Then Albrecht suddenly realized that the girls in the mercenary group around him, like the demigod in front of him, were all extraordinary beings who had abandoned Catholic teaching and chose to be with secrecy and loneliness.

This knight is an extremely traditional character. On the one hand, he feels that this is quite inappropriate (but he can't say what's wrong with it). On the other hand, after all, he has received the kindness of the other party for rescuing him, so he can't say much and can only frown. Explain your intention to the demigod and inquire about the situation of His Majesty and the Dukes.

"Your Majesty and the Duke are all well." Hedwig, the Acid Dragon, said calmly, "Follow me to eliminate the devils in the town."

With just one word, the demigod took the power of command on the scene into his hands. Naturally, no one said much. After all, the current level limit is Lv. 15, and those who can use the law are super powerful, so just hold them carefully.

So everyone followed the demigod on patrol everywhere. Wherever there are devils, the Acid Dragon coughs in that direction, and spits as if spitting, splitting into countless tiny green droplets in the air, and pounces on the devils as if it is spiritual.

The moment the droplet hit the devil, countless dark green acid liquid appeared on the opponent's germanium-red body surface, dissolving all the devil's muscles, tendons, bones and carapace in five or six seconds - these seemingly inconspicuous things The droplets seem to have the strange ability to convert the target's body fluids into acid.

No need to fight, no need to cast spells, just a simple spit to wipe out all the devils encountered on the road.

The power of a demigod is so terrifying.

Albrecht couldn't tell the difference, and the girls watched the whole process, extremely shocked.

When the demigods can fully activate their legal abilities, the terrifying strength they display has far exceeded the boundaries of their imagination.

The pride he had built up by defeating countless powerful enemies before leaping through ranks also disappeared without a trace at this time.

The team cleared out the devils in the town and rescued nearly a hundred knights. By the time they returned to the center of the town and the surviving knights reunited with their respective dukes, it was almost dawn.

"This must be a long-planned rebellion!" Emperor Otto hammered the table hard and roared angrily, "Someone must have leaked our marching route! Premeditated assassination of me in this town!"

The cause of the devil's attack has been found out. It was in the basement of a house in the northeast of the town. Someone inside used a special spell to open the portal to purgatory, triggering a large number of low-level devils to invade the main plane.

The owner of the house and the person who arranged the ceremony all died in the basement as sacrifices. The bodies were severely burned and damaged, making them completely unrecognizable.

The Dukes sat around the table, exchanging subtle messages with each other's eyes.

The emperor's suspicion was not unreasonable: when a large army entered the mountains, it would inevitably have to take the main road. It was not difficult for a thoughtful person to calculate the foothold based on the location and route.

However, there were only low-level devils throughout this attack, which seemed too childish. How could a demigod deal with such a small amount of devils? The Acid Dragon alone could easily solve the changes in the entire town, not to mention that there were others who hadn't taken action.

Unless the enemy's purpose is not to assassinate...then what is the purpose of just setting off a change that is destined to be easily suppressed?

"You are right, Your Majesty." Duke Rudolf of the Wolf family was the first to express his opinion. "This must be an enemy lurking among us. The Wolf family will immediately conduct an internal review."

As a loser in the civil war, no matter what he defended, someone would definitely try to pour dirty water on the Wolf family. Therefore, Duke Rudolf took a preemptive strike and took the task of reviewing himself first to prevent anyone from taking advantage of it. Their family.

The emperor's face softened slightly after hearing this, but he heard Conrad, Duke of Franconia, snort coldly, and said sarcastically:

"Latent? Are you trying so hard to lurk in the Imperial Army just to get some little devils to come out and hold a Halloween party in the middle of the night and delay everyone's night's rest?"

The emperor's face looked ugly again. However, the Griffin family was extinct after all, and the old Duke Griffin had no scruples when it came to ridiculing him. For a while, the emperor actually couldn't do anything to him.

What's more, his sarcasm hit the target right on the target: If someone is really lurking in the army, wouldn't this meaningless change be a warning?

"Do you have any advice, Lord Conrad?" the emperor asked with an unkind expression.

"I have no objection." Duke Griffin retorted angrily, "I am a Duke, not a private detective. Are all the Blade Warriors' scribes dead?"

The Secretariat of the Blade Warriors is a professional intelligence agency affiliated with Emperor Otto. They discovered the basement where the mutation originated during the subsequent investigation. However, the clues ended abruptly here - the relevant personnel had been killed, and there was no way to find out. Take action.

As a result, the emperor's face quickly turned as dark as a piece of charcoal, and he muttered something like "You're fired." The blade warrior next to him turned a deaf ear and knew it all.

The emperor is speaking angrily. What he likes to do most is to rate the performance of his ministers, implement a elimination system for the lowest ranking, and then fire the ministers he dislikes the most, euphemistically saying, "No one knows better than me." manage".

But of course he could not dismiss a duke as he could a minister.
