Lord of War

Five soldiers were patrolling the forest. They were in charge of the southwest of the valley. This location could actually be regarded as a dead corner of the valley. It was impossible for people entering from this direction to find the valley. Suspicious on patrol. It's just that their commander might really be an idiot, that's why they arranged patrols here. As these soldiers, they are of course not qualified to make any comments.

"What are we going to patrol here?" A young soldier said dejectedly, "This corner is a dead end, it's a waste of time."

"Okay, stop talking, the captain didn't say anything, what are you talking about, you little brat." An older soldier interrupted him with some dissatisfaction.

So, the young soldier secretly glanced at the captain of their team—a veteran who was about forty years old. It is said that he participated in two large-scale battles and had gained hundreds of military exploits. Already able to be a squadron commander, he was only demoted because he offended his superiors.

The boy was a little disappointed.

He felt that his luck was really bad. The directions that other patrols are responsible for are the areas most likely to find the enemy's entry, and this also means the acquisition of military exploits. If you want to get in and out of the army, you need to accumulate enough combat exploits as quickly as possible. Only in this way can you get the attention of your superiors, and then you can get promoted. The higher the position, the greater the power and the higher the salary. He did not join the army for the honor and prestige of the nobility, he just wanted something more practical.

But now, he was actually assigned to this team, and he suddenly felt very disappointed.

"Could it be that I offended someone inadvertently?" The young man couldn't help thinking with some frustration.

But no matter how he thinks back, he still can't remember whether he has offended anyone, or missed anything. Less than three days after he was transferred to this army from the reserve army after completing training, the team set off here, and during this time, he had the most contact with the recruits who came with him, until last night when he assigned the task Only then did he know which team he was going to follow.

It was only this morning that he realized how amazing his captain was, and then he also knew how unlucky his captain was, and at the same time, he also understood how bad his situation was. With such a captain, it is impossible for him to accumulate military exploits, unless a large-scale war really breaks out, but this kind of thing is not so easy to happen.

Sighing helplessly, the young man was a little sad. He looked up at a forty-five-degree angle, but he couldn't see the blue sky, only a large canopy of trees covering the sky.

At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the woods.

A girl with brilliant golden hair suddenly broke into the eyes of this patrol team,

She was wearing a set of black and white gothic costumes, the luxury of which was obviously beyond the reach of ordinary people. What attracts the most attention is the girl's facial features—the blue eyes are full of smiles, the golden eyebrows are raised, the corners of the mouth are slightly raised, revealing a playful and smug smile—exquisite and beautiful It is like a handed down work of a master sculptor.

She folded her arms around her chest, holding an exaggeratedly large book in her arms. Judging from the complicated textures depicted on the exposed cover of the book and the golden frame corners at the four book corners, it is obvious that this book is The value is definitely not low.

This girl is not very old, she should be about fifteen years old, and she has a happy smile on her face.

But soon, the smile froze on her face, and her eyes turned into a look of horror. Without the slightest hesitation, she immediately turned around and ran away. Only then did the soldiers who were also surprised by her appearance realize it, and subconsciously stepped forward to catch up.

"Don't chase!" But at this moment, the leader of the team suddenly shouted, "This is weird."

Hearing his voice, several soldiers also stopped. They were willing to trust the captain, because he had much more experience than them. On the battlefield, veterans with rich experience are often more popular and loved, because these experiences may become their life-saving words at some point, so if the captain said not to pursue, then he must have his reasons.

"Patter."

The little girl's books fell to the ground, which once again attracted the attention of the soldiers, and the little girl ran forward a few steps before stopping. She turned her head to look at the soldiers, and seemed to see that they had no intention of catching up. She bravely ran back, picked up the books and immediately turned around and ran away, but because of nervousness, the little girl fell down twice in the process. This time, but these two times she didn't drop the book, nor did she look back, but struggled hastily and then ran away.

"What's so weird! Captain, you're too cautious!" The boy finally couldn't help but chased after the girl, "I'm going to catch her! This is a battle achievement!"

The young man felt a burst of excitement from the bottom of his heart, whether it was psychological or physical, there was an impulse. Maybe this doesn't just mean military exploits, but what it is, I'm afraid only he himself knows.

"She's just a child!" Seeing the boy's actions, the captain of the team couldn't help shouting.

"It won't be soon!" The boy's echo sounded in the forest, completely exposing his desire.

The other soldiers looked at each other, and finally abandoned the captain's warning, and chased in the direction of the girl, fearing that if they fell behind, they would lose everything in a while. Looking at the eager looks of these few who can be regarded as belonging to his subordinates, the captain felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't know where this uneasiness came from. A chill rose in my heart.

There seemed to be some strange noise coming from behind.

The captain lowered his head alertly, and flew forward. When he rolled on the ground, he glanced behind him from the corner of his eye.

No entry!

The veteran stood up slowly, and laughed secretly that he was too nervous: "There shouldn't be anything coming in this corner, that girl probably really went the wrong way..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his back, which spread extremely quickly and spread to his chest in no time. The veteran lowered his head in surprise, and saw a small section of the sword tip protruding from the body. The blood was flowing along the edge of the blade to the tip of the sword, and then dripped drop by drop, opening a hole on the ground. Countless bright red flowers.

The old soldier turned his head with difficulty, facing Xiao En's extremely cold eyes, his mouth made a heavy voice, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything. Sean quickly drew his sword to one side, passing a bloody arrow that splashed out, and a not-so-faint ray shot out from the veteran's body and sank into Sean's body, which gave Sean a lot of experience value.

Soon, four more light balls that were slightly darker than this light flew back from the direction Cecilia ran away.

Sean knew that the four soldiers chasing Cecilia were dead.

But when the last ray of light sank into his body, Sean felt a surge of power in his body. This feeling of power almost breaking out of his body, Sean hadn't had it for nearly half a year. At this time, when I experienced it again, there was an indescribable comfort all over my body, as if the pores that had been blocked for a long time were relaxed, and my whole body was full of joy.

Soon, Alfred and Annuo protected Cecilia and came back.

"How?" Alfred asked.

Sean nodded and said with a smile, "It's ready."

"Then it's best to hurry up. We have already cleared all the patrols. If the other party suddenly changes shifts at this time, we will be exposed immediately." Alfred said.

"I know." After Xiao En said something again, he swung his sword and wiped it on his palm. With a little force, blood dripped continuously from his hand.

On the grass, Sean used his own blood to quickly send out a strange magic circle. This magic circle has not been registered in any magic manual. Although it does not look complicated, the power of a magic circle is not judged by the number of strokes, but the power of a magic circle is judged by the number of magic nodes.

Cecilia could tell at a glance that the magic circle in front of her had as many as eighty-eight magic nodes, which was close to an intermediate magic circle!

When he finished drawing the magic circle, Sean's face turned pale. It wasn't because he lost too much blood, but because the consumption of magic power was a little high. He simply bandaged his left hand, and stretched out his hand towards the plug. Celia. Cecilia also quickly handed the page of the book of demons to Sean, and Sean tossed the paper without hesitation. The weight of a thousand catties is average, and it falls quickly.

The moment the paper fell to the ground, white smoke emerged from the paper, and a sulfurous smell and hot continuation instantly rushed towards the face, and the hot magma continued to roll on the ground, piling up higher and higher, like Like a tumor. In the next second, the magma burst violently, and a demon with silver scales and red and black stripes on his body appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Because the place where Sean waved and threw it happened to be in the magic circle, so the place where the demon came out at this moment was on the magic circle.

The magic circle wasn't that big, with a diameter of less than half a meter, but it was definitely more than enough for this silver-scaled demon, which was about the size of a human, to stand inside it.

Almost at the moment when the demon appeared, Sean had already started to chant the spell in a low voice. When the demon completely revealed its figure, Sean's spell had just ended, and the time was counted. Not bad for a second. When the magic nodes on the magic circle lit up one by one, the consciousness of the silver-scaled demon finally descended into this body, but when it realized something wrong, the eighty-eight nodes on the magic circle It's all lit up.

The silver-scaled demon suddenly let out a crazy roar, but the strange thing was that this roar didn't resound in this forest at all.

The crowd could only see the ferocious and roaring appearance of this demon, but they didn't hear its sound at all, as if it was under the magic of silence. Immediately afterwards, the crowd saw the demon's body move suddenly and was about to pounce towards Sean, but just as it jumped to the edge of the magic circle, a blood-red crystal suddenly appeared in the air. There was a faint violet-blue electric light flashing, which viciously bounced back the demon's charge.

[The silver-scale demon is detected, attack effect: range extension, defense effect: demon armor, is it sealed? 】

"Seal!" Sean said in a deep voice.

A circle of magic halo suddenly rose from the magic circle on the ground, spinning and floating into the air. The blood-red light is not strong, but the magic fluctuations emanating from it are not weak, but those who do not have a keen sense of magic power will never be able to detect this kind of fluctuation-and when the magic halo stops in mid-air, the originally transparent The blood-red crystal wall completely appeared in front of the crowd, which made the silver-scaled demon inside become even more irritable.

But all his attacks were in vain.

As the upper limit of the magic circle began to compress, this test-tube-like red beam of light gradually became stronger, and one could even see the blood-red crystal wall becoming more and more vivid, and there were faint bones that were crushed sound. When this beam of light was finally compressed into a flat magic circle floating in the air, the red brilliance on it was so thick that it almost dripped out. Anyone could have imagined the fate of the demon inside.

[Please select the seal type. 】

Sean actually hesitated for a moment. He didn't expect that the attack effect of the Silver Scale Demon would actually be a range extension. This can already be regarded as the judgment effect of the space system. There were only a few such effects in the game back then. The Cursed Swordsman only owns it. But his battle rhythm itself is based on speed, and the judgment damage of this extended attack does not play a big role for him. On the contrary, he lacks sufficient defensive means, which is a flaw for him .

However, almost all demonic creatures, if used as defensive engravings, will generate the effect of "devil armor". This effect can temporarily cover the body with a layer of demonic skin, which can not only effectively resist a certain degree of damage, but also Immune to fire damage. Only a very small number of demons have other types of defensive effects, some are stronger than demon armor, and some are worse than demon armor.

But judging from the current results, the silver scale demon's defense effect can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but its attack effect is quite outstanding.

If it is more beneficial to its own long-term development, then it is natural to choose the attack effect. But judging from the current situation, it is natural that the value of the defensive effect is higher, and Sean does not need to be forced to readjust his tactical rhythm for this attack effect. The most important point is that after possessing the "devil armor", even temporarily possessing the defensive power of a demon is enough to greatly improve his survivability.

"defense!"

The moment Xiao En's words fell, the scarlet magic circle shrank rapidly, shrinking and changing continuously from the initial diameter of half a meter. In the beginning, there were some traces of the magic circle, but as the range narrowed to less than a few centimeters, there was no trace of the magic circle at all, and even the magic nodes seemed to have disappeared.

When the magic circle finally became only a few centimeters in size, it suddenly turned into a rainbow light and shot into Xiao En's left hand.

A puff of white smoke suddenly emerged from Sean's left hand, as if being scalded by a branding iron, resisting the severe pain in his hand, a slightly strange rune pattern emerged on the back of Sean's left hand.

This rune looks like an "X", but on both sides, there is a red sè texture similar to a cow's horn, and then the two nodes below the X will make a bend and extend towards the lower arm Go down, but they did not merge with each other, but revealed a gap. And above the X, there is also a mark, which looks more like a Y, except that the two corners extending from the Y are sharper and more curved.

[Curse Seal. Silver Scale: Defensive effect. When activated, it can cover a part of the body with a layer of demon skin. It can effectively resist the damage of sharp weapons with a puncture value below 30. It is invalid for blow damage and immune to all fire damage. Time 10 seconds, cooling time 1 hour. 】

Seeing the imprint on the back of his hand, the corners of Sean's mouth slightly raised, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Although the effect is only for a short ten seconds, if it is used well, Sean is even sure to fight against the next silver master. With this basic guarantee, it is enough for Sean to do a lot of things, and he is no longer afraid of being assassinated by others, because the activation of the curse seal is instant, which means that as long as the mind moves, it will immediately produce Effect!

"Successful?" Neither Alfred nor Cecilia could understand the situation, so they asked curiously.

Xiao En didn't answer, he showed the back of his hand to the third person, but seeing the slightly dazed look in the other person's eyes, he could only nod and said, "Successful!"

"So what are we going to do next?" Cecilia asked.

"What should we do?" Sean asked rhetorically, "After William arrives, we'll leave here oah....Our commission with Paro is to help him find the goods and then send him a signal, right?"

Everyone nodded.

So Sean laughed: "Now the things are inside, isn't the rest just his business?"
