Lord of War

The smoke and dust permeating the air covered an area with a radius of more than ten meters.

There are many particles in this smoke, so the visibility is naturally extremely low, not even half a meter. There is no difference between falling into this smog-shrouded area and entering a pitch-black world where you can't see your fingers. Of course, since this is not a special magical field, perception is still very useful in this hazy world.

There was a long black shadow that appeared like a fish swimming in the water.

After looking carefully, it was discovered that this long black shadow was an arm.

The arm that was thrown out was extremely powerful, and because of the airflow moving in the direction of the arm, a blank area with high visibility was easily scattered.

It's just that where the fist swung away, there was also a black shadow blocking it.

This black shadow is much larger than the arm, and the width of the horizontal plane is also larger, it is obviously not a part of the body of a normal person.

When the fist was closer, the airflow had a greater impact, and it was natural to see that what was blocked in front of the fist was a piece of metal.

Black.

When the hard fist collided with this metal surface, a strong airflow burst out from this point of origin.

Just like the eye of a tornado, all the smoke and dust rushed out along the spiral airflow, dispersing all the smoke and dust in the eye of the storm with a radius of two meters, clearly showing the two sides in the confrontation and confrontation. And with the eruption of the strong airflow, the area covered by the smoke and dust has undoubtedly spread a lot, but it has also become significantly thinner, at least not as visible as it was at the beginning, not even half a meter.

The two people in the fight were none other than Sean and Christina.

Sean blocked Christina's explosive punch with the sword face of the Black King. Judging from the power of Christina's punch, if the material of the Black King was not good enough. Ordinary high-quality material weapons are also likely to be interrupted by this punch.

Obviously, Christina was really angry.

Of course, Sean knew it just by looking at Christina's face.

I saw Christina's right fist changed slightly. Immediately, the fist posture changed into a palm posture, and then lightly pressed on the sword surface. However, like an absorbing force, Christina instantly moved close to Sean's side, and her left fist hit Sean's right rib at the same time.

Kristina is extremely fast,

She is faster than the general class powerhouses who are better at boxing. If it is said that she has not used special methods such as alchemy and arcane, Sean will never believe it. It's just that no matter how fast Christina was, Sean didn't care too much about it, because speed was his strong point in the first place. So he easily chose to withdraw his sword and retreat, avoiding Kristina's punch.

However, Christina was relentless, she made great progress by bullying herself, and this time she even used her right fist.

Her two fists were punched one after another, very much like a boxer in a formal boxing match. But looking at the howling wind that every time Christina punches, one can know how miserable the end will be if she is hit hard by her fist.

Even if Sean wanted to have a head-to-head confrontation with Christina, he would never choose to fight back when Christina had the upper hand.

Patience has always been what Sean lacks the most.

And after more than ten minutes of offensive and defensive swaps, Sean gradually felt some very mysterious feelings. He felt that this time was a great opportunity for him to break through the realm, so he didn't mind being briefly given the upper hand by Christina. After all, Sean had the upper hand much longer than Christina since he turned against Christina - even though Sean knew why this happened. But he still didn't hold back when he shot.

Christina, if you care about it, you will be chaotic.

Even Sean didn't know why Christina cared so much about herself. It seemed that she was very upset about making a deal with the demon believer. At this moment, all the trust and friendship turned into anger and grief.

It is precisely because of this that Sean dare not hold back even more - just kidding, he is not as good as Christina. If it wasn't for the fact that Kristina's mental consumption was too high, she couldn't maintain the domain. Sean had already been beaten by Christina as a sandbag. But at this moment, even Christina couldn't maintain the field operations. But her strength in all aspects is also a bit stronger than Sean. If it is not because of anger that leads to the loss of sanity and frequent mistakes, Sean is not sure how long he can last.

But now no matter what, Sean is really fighting with all his strength.

The shape of the Black King imitates the shape of a knight's long sword, that is, the kind of knight's long sword that fights immediately. It is more suitable for chopping, chopping, and chopping. The weight of the sword body is mostly concentrated at the tip of the front end. However, Sean almost never fights right away, so he also increased the weight on the hilt, and the blade was even thicker and heavier. This is why the Black King was able to block Christina's punch without breaking.

The Black King in Xiao En's hand raised slightly, and the blade turned into a black shadow, but it perfectly penetrated the only flaw revealed in Kristina's fist attack - because it was too close, Sean The retreat was irregular and irregular, and even Kristina's punches became irregular. The situation that had the upper hand was brought into Sean's involuntary situation. rhythm, which resulted in the left fist not connecting after a right fist shot.

Sean's attack was mixed in this connection error - the black king's sword accurately hit Christina's left fist, forcibly disrupting her rhythm, and then the long sword thrust out, The tip of the sword pierced Christina's left shoulder blade. The next moment, Sean slammed into Christina's body with a backing. Because he did not hold back his full force, the powerful attack immediately knocked Kristina back ten steps in a row.

However, Kristina was also stubborn, pinching the muscles of the left shoulder blade, and at the same time abruptly retreating, Sean had to step up to keep up.

So when Kristina stabilized her figure, Kristina's right fist slammed towards Sean's left cheek again.

Sean had seen Christina's fist strength after going crazy before, so naturally he didn't want to be so short. But if you avoid it. He had to give up the Black Sovereign in his hand, because Christina's left hand had already grasped the Black Sovereign's sword—Sean didn't understand what kind of technique Christina was using. Unexpectedly, holding such a sharp black king with bare hands did not cause any cuts, and even dared to block the sword edge of the black king with his fist.

Without any choice. Sean could only let go and get low, avoiding Christina's punch.

But she didn't want to, Kristina was also a veteran with a lot of combat experience, seeing Sean let go of his sword, she wouldn't take the opportunity to attack. Immediately exerted force with his left hand, and after pulling out the Black King, he threw the long sword to nowhere with a sudden flick, and at the same time stuck it towards Xiao En at an extremely fast speed. With a more solid backing, he directly knocked Sean out.

After being forcibly knocked into the air by Christina, Sean, who flew upside down, quickly adjusted his body shape in mid-air. After twisting and twisting, his whole body shape turned into a horizontal flight. His right hand sank to the ground, and Chris The strength brought by Ting Na was immediately transmitted to the ground, causing a huge imprint, and the surrounding ground collapsed by more than a few inches. And Xiao En also took advantage of this to turn his body around, the center of gravity sank quickly, and the whole person fell to the ground immediately, once again transforming all the impact force into scattered force and shaking it into the ground. Larger cobweb cracks are formed.

But at this time, Christina had rushed over again.

In terms of fist and foot martial arts alone, none of the ten Sean's is a match for Christina.

This is not to say that Kristina is more than ten times stronger than Sean. But after coming to this world, Sean put all his thoughts on sword skills, and even his career followed sword skills. And a person's energy is limited, if Sean is not willing to spend a lot of proficiency points to fill his skill list, he is actually not much different from the geniuses of this world, so in the case of losing his weapon , It was difficult for Sean to compete with Christina.

This is exactly what Christina wanted.

However, it was not the result Sean wanted.

Facing Christina who attacked like a storm. Sean roared in a deep voice, and unleashed his power without hesitation.

As the prototype of the field. Sean's current potential will no longer pose any threat to his life after he obtains the silver body. To put it simply, the current potential already has a depletion effect similar to that of the domain—as long as Sean can bear the consumption. Then he can maintain the range force field of potential forever.

Christina was impacted by Sean's momentum from the front, and her speed was immediately affected, and her movement speed slowed down obviously.

This unexpected state made Christina obviously a little distracted.

But this loss of consciousness was only for a moment, and in less than a second, Christina had fully recovered. Although she can't expand the domain now, for Christina, a momentum is not enough to restrict her actions—after all, momentum is just a suppression of momentum. Although it has touched the boundary of the law, it is not It may be okay to use the law to deal with the strong below the sanctuary, but it is obviously only a momentary effect to deal with the strong in the sanctuary.

I saw the aura all over Christina's body surged suddenly, and the fighting spirit burst out from her body in an instant, breaking the suppression of Sean's "momentum" immediately.

Sean didn't expect Christina's reaction to be so fast.

After suppressing Christina with his momentum, Sean had already jumped and flew towards the place where the Black King fell. After the momentum was broken by Christina, Sean immediately felt a stabbing pain in his head, and his body stagnated involuntarily, and then his ankle was grabbed by Christina, followed by Christina It spun like a top, and only after two consecutive turns did it throw Sean away.

It’s just that Christina is not stupid, and the direction of throwing Sean is naturally far away from the drop point of the Black King——Christina has discovered that Sean who holds the Black King and who does not have the Black King is simply Two people. Under such circumstances, he naturally wished to keep Sean as far away from the Black King as possible. After all, Sean was much easier to deal with without a weapon.

After being thrown by Christina, Sean could only quickly adjust his figure in mid-air, but the tingling sensation from his head still made Sean feel a little uncomfortable.

But this time, Kristina didn't press hard again, but watched Sean quickly adjust his figure in mid-air, and even staggered when he landed.

Kristina also experienced such a slow growth period back then-first, the maintenance of the field. Then came the suppression of potential, followed by the embryonic form of the domain, and finally formed its own domain. So for Christina. She knew very well what would happen to Xiao En's momentum after she forcefully cracked it with the power of law. The severe pain was not much better than the explosion of the domain.

The only thing to say is different. Probably the level of pain is slightly lighter.

Of course, this actually has an advantage.

It's just that Christina didn't intend to say it out. As for whether Sean can grasp it, that's his own business.

Geniuses have the pride of being geniuses.

"You let me down." Kristina said in a deep voice, she just stared at Sean expressionlessly, the only thing that looked bright was Christina's eyes, which was a kind of disappointment. Deep, deep disappointment, "Why?"

Sean rubbed his forehead lightly, glanced at Christina, and said with a smile, "Why?...Because I am a lord, a grand duke, and I am responsible for my followers. As Diane said, this The world is not only black and white, but also has a lot of gray. Just like a saying that businessmen often say, where there is demand, there will naturally be competition. Not all demons are evil, there will always be one or two who are Nice guy."

"Oh." Christina laughed. The voice was a little contemptuous.

"You really don't believe it." Sean shrugged, "Let me just tell you two things you don't know."

Christina raised her eyebrows and put on a look of listening attentively. But the look on his face was still contemptuous.

In fact, in the earliest days, there was no distinction between executive officers and arbitrators in the Peace Council, and basically they had to intervene in everything. Naturally, many people were offended because of this—no empire was willing to tolerate the existence of such a special force as the Peace Council, so the Seven Great Empires and other forces that did not like the Peace Council joined forces.

That joint effort caused the Peace Council to lose two-thirds of its elites, directly damaging its vitality. Among them, in addition to the Seven Great Empires, there are also Deaththorn and several other powerful organizations that are not inferior to Deaththorn—this is also the origin of the old enmity between the Peace Council and Deaththorn. certainly. According to the character and thinking of the Peace Council, they naturally held grudges against the Seven Great Empires and the other major forces. It's a pity that the five old empires, Chinas Empire, St. Jors Empire, Millennium Covenant Empire, Emeria Empire, and Maggie Empire, have too deep foundations, and the Peace Council really can't do anything about them.

But these five of the seven empires have nothing to do with them. It does not mean that the other two empires have nothing to do with them, so under a series of coincidences, the Peace Council easily destroyed these two empires - one of the empires even killed everyone including the royal family. was massacred. Of course, the Peace Parliament also has a perfect excuse, that is, the empire has reached its roots, and the people have been living in dire straits—this is also the most sensational thing among the many things that the Peace Parliament has done, because an empire’s *, directly wipe out this empire completely.

But also after this incident, the five old empires explicitly prohibited the intervention of the Peace Council—since the encounter with the alliance of many forces across the continent, the Peace Council has indeed kept a low profile for a long time, and there are also more arbitrators. The appearance of a job. What the five old empires refused was the arbitration conducted by the arbitrators. Even under unnecessary and special circumstances, they also refused the arbitrators of the Peace Council to arbitrate their dependent countries.

It can be said that the introduction of arbitrators is an innovation for the Peace Council to seek breakthroughs and changes.

Unfortunately, this plan ended in failure.

Because not everyone can accept the pure black and white ideas of the peace parliament.

After decades of thinking, the Peace Council made another amazing move: adopting orphans and performing brainwashing training.

After this method experienced a short-term failure, it soon ushered in an extremely astonishing explosive harvest period.

Because of the purity of belief, the simplicity of thinking, and the single-mindedness of character, there are many more powerful go-getters in the council—these people's minds are not complicated, so they are easy to control and can be executed better. tasks and training. These executive officers who appeared like puppets quickly restored the vitality and strength of the severely damaged Peace Council, which in turn made them more firm in their orphan brainwashing training policy.

It can be said. The executive officers of the Peace Council have only two origins: either orphans or descendants of martyrs.

Because only they can accept the purest extreme thought of the peace parliament.

Christina is an orphan.

From small to large. Everything she touches is what the Peace Council wants her to see, so her world is very pure and simple: either white or black. There is no such thing as a gray area. All existence that cannot be classified as white is black, and black is evil, and evil must be obliterated.

This is what Christina has learned over the past twenty years.

Now, Sean told Christina that there is actually a third color in this world, how can Christina believe it? In other words, she didn't run away on the spot, but patiently put on an appearance of listening attentively. This is already very important to Sean's performance.

"Eirken, have you heard of it?" Sean asked.

"Lord of Pride, one of the Seven Demon Kings." Christina replied with a very indifferent tone.

"She died." Sean said again, "She was killed by the demon king that Diane believed in."

When Kristina heard that Erken died, her face showed astonishment and surprise at first, but after hearing the second half of Sean's sentence, her face showed contempt once again, saying: " Everyone knows the chaos among the demons, and it’s so strange for them to bite dogs. Who knows what conflicts of interests are there.”

"Oh." Sean also laughed, and his voice became a little brisk, "Airken wants to invade this world. She even opened the demon gate directly, and even the demon army is ready on the other side of the abyss. They will be able to invade after the demon gate is officially opened... But, all of this was stopped by Enkos. I admit that demons are very chaotic creatures by nature, but why would a demon that you keep saying must be eliminated To stop another demon from invading?"

Christina opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to speak.

Her intuition told her that there was something wrong with what Sean said, but what exactly was wrong. Christina really couldn't figure it out.

A person with pure faith has one advantage, that is, his mind is simple.

Simple minded people. For Sean, that's a good trick.

He said it was true that the Enkos had prevented Erkin's invasion. But the bigger fact is that Andrew is in this world, and he is still sleeping in his body. As long as Erken invades this world, the first thing to do is to kill him. Essentially, Erken is on the opposite side of Enkos, so Enkos will kill Erken. It's the same thing as Kristina's "conflict of interest."

Of course, because of the asymmetry of information, Christina did not know this.

"How do you know that the demon king stopped Erken's invasion?" Christina's tone was obviously disbelieving.

"Because I was there at the time." Sean replied, "You should know that I have provided you with a lot of information for the Peace Council?... In fact, I have the ability to predict, but this ability cannot be controlled by myself. Control, but occasionally flashed in my mind, making me feel like a dream. So it is difficult for me to distinguish which is a dream, which is what fate wants me to know, before I get a clear answer, for me Say everything is false."

Speaking of this, Sean paused for a moment, and said in a more sincere tone: "Those things I told you, I dared to speak only after my careful investigation and confirmed to be true. This is also true. That’s why the information I provided to you before was accurate.”

"Didn't you say that the Devil's Gate is on the Northern Continent, the Medusa Chamber of Commerce..."

"Yes." Sean nodded, "Even I didn't know that there were two Devil's Gates...Because you came to the Northern Continent, there was another Devil's Gate. I can only investigate the truth by myself. Sex. But I didn’t expect that the demon gate was already open, and even a lot of little demons sneaked in. Do you think that with the strength of your Peace Council, you can open two demon gate battlefields at the same time?”

Christina was silent.

In fact a peace parliament is indeed possible.

Not to mention two places, even three places are fine. But the problem is that in this way, the Peace Council will also fall into an extremely weak state, if it is targeted by Deaththorn at this time. Then the loss of the Peace Council will be very heavy, and it may even fall into a state of being seriously injured again. This is also the real reason why the Peace Council has become more and more low-key over the years. Because today's Peace Council is no better than it was when it was first established.

"In some coincidence, Enkos helped me out." Sean kept certain things real. Then he continued, "If it weren't for him, I would have died at the hands of Erkin. ... So, I owe Enkos a favor. Don't tell me that making a deal with the devil is becoming a heretic, I just I know that I should treat others as others treat me.”

Christina remained silent.

"Is there any conflict of interest between Enkos and Elkin? I don't know, and I don't want to know." Sean said softly. The tone was a bit dull, "I only know that the Southern Continent did not fall into the chaos of the demon invasion, because Enkos killed Erken....Our world was saved by a big demon king, don't you think it is very strange?" Is it ironic? I recognize the efforts and dedication of your Peace Council, but I think you should also understand that many of the Peace Council's practices are problematic."

"Excuses." Christina sneered.

"Excuse?" Sean was not annoyed, but smiled, "That's good. Let's talk about another thing....Do you know why the Peace Council and Deaththorn are old enemies?"

"That's because there are many dark creatures in Deaththorn."

"It's half right." Sean shook his head slightly, "The other half is because Deaththorn once teamed up with the Seven Great Empires to trick your Peace Council."

Speaking of which. Sean then directly told Christina the earliest story of the Peace Council. These include the alliance of the Seven Great Empires, and the subsequent "retaliatory action" of the Peace Council, etc. Of course, Sean's unique brainwashing sophistry is also indispensable here: such as the cultivation of orphans, the brainwashing training of the Peace Council, The arbitrator has never been able to enter the inner circle of the Peace Council and so on.

Christina didn't show any special expression at first, but as Sean talked more, Christina's expression became more silent.

Both Sean and Christina are very smart people.

And smart people have an advantage, that is, some things don't need to be said too much or too clearly, as long as they start properly, it is enough. Just by looking at Christina's expression, Sean knew that he had successfully shaken Christina's belief—all of this. That's what Sean needs to do.

Not to reverse Christina's mind.

Instead shake.

In fact, Sean was not sure of success. Because people with pure faith have a problem: that is stubbornness.

They will automatically filter all heretical remarks against their own beliefs, and only listen to the good side. Sean obviously has experience with these. Therefore, when he narrated the peace parliament, he did not mix too many personal emotional factors, but described it in the tone of a third-party observer. Of course, the most important thing was the massacre at the peace parliament——Xiao En believes that this is a stain on the Peace Council, so they will definitely not promote it internally.

It's just that they won't promote it, but it doesn't mean that this thing doesn't exist.

Many forces and organizations on the mainland have records of this massacre, but there are very few people who know that this incident was done by the Peace Council. And Deaththorn happens to be one of these very few people, and this is also the reason why Deaththorn will call the people of the Peace Council hypocrites.

But the real villains like Deaththorn have nothing to praise.

"Sophistry." Christina said coldly.

"Sophistry?" Sean tilted his head, and then smiled, "Just consider me a sophistry...But some things don't exist if you don't want to deny them. In fact, your Peace Council does There have been many things that are contrary to your purpose, and the big demon king that you think is the most hated and must be killed has also successfully saved the world, even... Diane, the devil's believer's initial mission, It’s also about hunting down the Demon God Edward.”

After pondering for a moment, Sean said for the second time: "This world is not only black and white."

"You have given me information three times." Christina was silent for a long time, then suddenly said, "Essentially speaking, I only helped you get paid twice. ... This time, it is the third time. Peace Council The transaction with you is settled. And the friendship between us is over. I admit that this world is not only black and white, but I can only accept black and white. "

Sean also fell into silence.

He just looked at Christina quietly, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, Sean sighed slightly: "To be honest, I think it's very easy to be friends with you, and I really hope to be friends with you all the time... But it's a pity that our thoughts cannot be unified, You can only accept black and white, but for me, this world has many colors."

"I know." Christina nodded, and she turned her head to look at the sky, where Enkos and Edward were on the battlefield. "This time, I believe your story."

story?

Sean frowned slightly.

Because Sean is also a smart person, he already guessed what Kristina was planning, but he didn't intend to ask.

"Your domain has already taken shape, feel the pain when I was suppressed just now." Kristina turned her head, glanced back at Sean, and then said, "You used to be my friend. But, I The Sean Connery I knew is dead....The next time we meet, we may have different identities due to our different positions, I hope you can be prepared."

Sean just smiled and said nothing.

And Christina just stared at Sean again, then turned and left.

Adroan, this battlefield no longer needs her.

In other words, the battle of fate that had to let her in was over. (to be continued)

ps: Dazhang, I originally coded 3,000 words last night and wanted to update it, but my wrist and elbow hurt, and the plot was not very complete, it was just a fighting scene, so there was no update. After returning from the hospital this morning, I wrote down today’s update by the way and merged it into one chapter, so that the plot of this story will be more complete, and it will not become a little brainless.
