Lord of War

On a certain oasis in the wild land, two figures are flying rapidly. They only need to tap the ground to fly a distance of nearly 100 meters in front of them.

In fact, if it wasn't for avoiding leaving traces every time the ground was tapped, the moving distance could have been farther.

However, in this rapid escape, neither of them turned back.

Because they knew very well that the person chasing them was a strong man in the sanctuary, and the fact that the strong man in the sanctuary had mastered the power of law was enough for them to get rid of the conventional gravity. Although the lower sanctuary can't move too fast in mid-air, if it's only used to lock their position and fly short distances, it's more than enough.

Therefore, during the escape, both of them chose as much as possible some rough mountain roads or places with more obstacles such as stone forests.

These two are naturally Ghost Sword Devil Boy and Undead Girl Wendy.

Of course, Wendy was still holding the black tide of death.

This big guy doesn't seem to be much heavier than a stone in Wendy's hand, because Wendy maintained the same posture throughout the process - neither letting the black death tide touch the ground once, nor did it affect her speed in any way. Obstacles, like a kite, constantly undulate with the forward movement of running.

Different from the relaxed and comfortable expression in the past, the expression on the face of the devil｜一｜本｜reading｜novel boy at this time is very focused, and he can even vaguely see beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, and then at this rapid While running, he was taken away by the howling strong wind. And in order to maintain physical restraint as much as possible. The devil boy's twin swords have also been inserted back into the scabbards, and they are not held by him, and his running behavior is that his whole body is at a ninety-degree angle. Like the galloping of an ostrich in the desert.

Compared with Wendy, the undead girl, Devil Boy is still a human being in essence, and his physical strength is not as unlimited as Wendy and Black Dead Tide.

The cold wind whizzed past the ears of the two—or the three of them, but the speed of the two of them did not slow down at all, but became faster and faster.

But in this process, it can gradually be seen that the devil boy who is still a human body has begun to feel a little exhausted. Because at this time, Wendy was leading the way during the running—although the gap between the two was less than three millimeters, but this distance was enough to explain many problems for the thirteen coffins.

The devil boy suddenly slowed down his speed slightly, and then took a deep breath. This move opened the distance between him and Wendy by ten meters in an instant. In terms of physical fitness and endurance, the devil boy who first came into contact with the law and formed his own domain is naturally unable to compare with Wendy.

However, if one is a strong person who relies on martial arts for a living, then naturally he has certain attainments in instantaneous explosive power.

After hearing the devil boy suddenly say "accelerate". He stepped on the plain with a sudden force - but the devil boy was still very cautious. Because his right foot just touched the ground with the tiptoe, and he didn't step on the whole foot. A burst of abundant and strong force suddenly erupted from the devil boy, but because of the devil boy's deliberate control, the circle hole created by stepping on the plain with his right foot did not spread too much, probably less than About half a meter.

But the force transfer comparison is relative.

Although the horizontal transmission is not that great, but if it is vertical, it can be found that the rock structure as deep as ten meters underground has been directly trampled into powder by the devil boy.

Almost at the moment the devil boy accelerated, the undead girl Wendy also accelerated at the same time—just as a representative of the power type. The undead girl's control is not as subtle as that of the devil boy. Even if he deliberately controlled the force and transmission area, the shock caused still exceeded two meters.

But under the acceleration of this burst of grudge. This time, the two really shot out like cannonballs, spanning a distance of nearly a thousand meters in an instant.

Running in the dark, after an unknown amount of time, the two finally made a light turn by the side of a stream, and then both disappeared in the field.

It can't be said to disappear, but strictly speaking, it should mean that these two people have entered a certain area maintained by illusion: when these two people enter this area, what the outside world can see is the two people. A ripple that swayed like a stone falling into the lake. However, the spread of the ripples is not large, so it calmed down completely after only a little stirring, and it didn't look any different from the surrounding situation.

The only thing that has changed is that the aura of these two people has completely disappeared here.

And if there is no one who is particularly good at hunting down, then the aura left by these two people along the way will be completely blown away by the wind in this wild place in a few minutes. Of course, even if there are people who are good at hunting, the traces and aura left by these two people can only be kept for a few hours at most, unless it is a hunter with a legendary strength, then it is possible to still find this after a few days. traces of the two.

With Christina—her existence, even if she is placed in a peace council where the strong are like clouds, she can be regarded as a bug-level existence—she is not very good at tracking, once she is thrown away, she wants to find it. The goal is less likely. At least, it was more than half an hour before she discovered the clues left by Devil Boy and Wendy when they accelerated for the second time, and then completely lost track of these two people.

But when they entered this area constructed by illusion, the expressions of Devil Boy and Wendy changed drastically.

At this time, in this area, there is a middle-aged man wearing a black mage robe that reaches the ground. On the surface, this man is very handsome, full of a mature and stable temperament unique to this age, of course There is also the knowledgeable wisdom and mystery that can be seen in almost all magicians-if he is not injured, then maybe he can also see the confident self-confidence that is unique to this person appearance.

At this moment, what the devil boy, Wendy, and the black dead tide whose skull has been repaired and can move normally can only see the middle-aged magician who is dying, the front of the mage's robe has been stained red with blood, and his face is as pale as paper.

this person. Naturally, it is the dark prophet of one of the thirteen coffins of death thorns.

"What's going on!?" The devil boy said with a surprised face, but at the same time he drew out his two swords at the first time, looking on guard.

Undead girl Wendy's reaction was not slow either. Her aura also surged crazily, and the blue-gray skin on her body began to turn into a dark gray: "Who attacked you?"

"I was careless." The dark prophet said weakly.

Facing his companions, the Dark Prophet couldn't say in any case, "After he realized the danger of the Black Death Tide, he performed a long-distance magic body shaping projection, and then secretly tracked Sean, trying to assassinate Sean, but was caught by a group of people instead." The lich was discovered, and then tried to threaten Xiao En but failed. When he was thinking of leaving, he was imprisoned by the lich again, and then suffered the inhumane ravages of the lich, so he not only lost a precious magic core. It also caused his mental power and magic power to be cut in half."

"Careless?" Ghost Sword Demon Boy frowned slightly, but he still put away the two swords, "What's going on?"

"Our plan has failed." The dark prophet did not immediately answer the devil boy's question, "I can no longer transmit magic power. You should contact the dead nest immediately. Let the dark realm death knights, death swords and devil souls evacuate the Void Principality, Just say there is a trap over there!"

"Trap?" Wendy, the undead girl, also frowned, and then asked in a deep voice: "What's going on? Aren't they responsible for assassinating the Duke of the Void? With the strength of the three of them, even if the Duke of Void has any traps It doesn't help, does it?"

"If it's just the Duchy of the Void, it's definitely useless, but that Sean Connery has joined forces with the Peace Council, and now there is a trap in the Duchy of the Void waiting for us to throw ourselves into the net!" The dark prophet's tone was a little heavier , and the speed of speaking was a little hasty, which seemed to make his injury worse. He coughed out another mouthful of blood, "Now that Grand Duke of the Void is not in the Principality of the Void at all. He is already in the wild land! The person you saw when you went to save the black death tide is Sean Connery!"

"What!?" At this moment, both Devil Boy and Wendy were shocked.

"Then what are we waiting for, go back and catch him immediately, so that our plan can continue." After being shocked, the devil boy said first, "Wendy and I are indeed not Christine." Na's opponent, but if you add the black tide of death, the outcome will be hard to tell. If you also make a move, even if there are a few more Christinas with the strength of the four of us, it will not help."

"Impossible." The dark prophet shook his head.

The undead girl Wendy glanced at the Dark Prophet, and then said: "It may be impossible for you to be injured now, but since there is an ambush in the Duchy of the Void, and our most essential goal is here, we can still wait for the dark to come." Territory Death Knight, Death Sword and Demon Soul come to meet up, and then make a move."

"Even if our thirteen coffins are all together, we can't help Xiao En now." The dark prophet continued to shake his head.

Ghost Sword Demon Boy frowned. He looked at the Dark Prophet and said in a deep voice, "The reason."

"Guess how I got hurt?" The dark prophet asked without answering.

Asked by the dark prophet, Devil Boy and Wendy looked at each other, but they didn't know how to answer.

In the thirteen coffins, the dark prophet's personal combat ability is not particularly outstanding, probably at a medium level, and his greatest advantage is still in the aspect of strategy. Of course, if you underestimate the Dark Prophet with this, you will pay a heavy price. After all, the apparent strength of the peak of the upper sanctuary is there, and it is not something that ordinary people can deal with if they want to deal with it. Otherwise, how could it be possible in the Peace Council? Escaped as many as eleven times?

But now, after being told by the dark prophet, Devil Boy and Wendy realized that things might not be as simple as they imagined.

To be able to injure the Dark Prophet so severely, the opponent must at least be a strong person of the same level.

As for Christina's strength, everyone in Deaththorn is very clear now: Although she is a newly promoted lower sanctuary, she is not much inferior to some middle sanctuaries. But if you want to deal with a high-ranking sanctuary powerhouse like the dark prophet, you are still not qualified.

"If I didn't cast the magic power projection, but I personally came to see it, I would be dead now." Without letting the devil boy and Wendy guess anything, the dark prophet just pondered for a while. Then he directly announced the answer, "Even if all the thirteen coffins arrive, it's just meaningless to leave a few more corpses... No. It is very likely that the entire army will be wiped out, and no one will be able to escape."

"This is impossible. Even if we are legendary powerhouses, if we really can't fight and want to escape, it's okay." As the devil boy with the most keen combat intuition, he immediately refuted the words of the dark prophet, "When will the thirteen coffins Has it become so worthless? Could it be that you lost your confidence even after being defeated by a projection?"

The thirteen coffins, as the bright signboard of the dead thorn. It is composed of thirteen people with extremely strong fighting strength.

Black Shadow Brett, Jack Scissorhands, Dark Prophet, and Soul Caller are all strong at the peak of the upper sanctuary, among which Black Shadow Bright, Dark Prophet, and Jack Scissorhands are half-footed On that legendary sideline.

The Duke of Fluface, John the Full Moon Visitor, and Naxi the Blood Mask are the powerhouses in the middle sanctuary, and the Duke of Fluface and the John the Full Moon Visitor are still powerful because they have sealed their true strength. . Once the seal is lifted, these two people are also powerful existences in the upper sanctuary. As for the Blood Mask Naxi, although he is only a mid-level Sanctuary, but in terms of personal combat power, he can definitely rank in the top five in Deaththorn. And he also has a strong record of killing high-ranking sanctuary powerhouses many times.

Black Death Tide, Dark Death Knight, Demon Soul, and Death Sword are the lower Sanctuary. But these four people also have powerful abilities that others in Deaththorn do not possess. Among them, Demon Soul had five fights with Christina, who was trained by the Peace Council: four draws and one loss, but it was because of that defeat that Demon Soul turned into an old man; It is a person who has stolen part of the divine power of the God of Death. He can freely travel through the outer world and the material world without any punishment; as for the Death Sword, it is special because its body is not a human being, but a sword. The reason why the dark artifact of the abyss is only in the lower sanctuary is because the container that Deaththorn has found for it can only exert such strength.

As for Ghost Sword Demon Boy and Undead Girl Wendy, they are only quasi-sacred domains. But these two have their own strengths, and their combat effectiveness is also very strong. The combination of the two can completely compete with any of the four lower sanctuaries. This is the real reason why the two of them were awarded the title of Thirteen Coffins—of course, Deaththorn values ​​their future potential more, because the two of them are still very young.

It can be said that among the thirteen people, except for Devil Boy and Wendy who are just exceptions, the other eleven people are all real sanctuary powerhouses.

"Hehe." The dark prophet looked at the demon boy and let out a creepy laugh, "Do you know who is following Sean now?"

Ghost Sword Demon Boy didn't answer.

But the dark prophet didn't need him to answer: "A lich."

The devil boy froze for a moment.

But the Dark Prophet didn't wait for the devil boy to speak again, and said: "A casual finger can pull my projection hidden in the astral world to the material world; a casual wave can imprison my projection , unable to use the space to escape; then the ghost fire made me completely lose control of the projection at a glance; I could directly burn my soul through the projection with just a touch, and even almost absorbed my soul on the main body side Lich... What kind of existence do you think such a Lich is? Are you sure you want to compete with such a Lich in human sea tactics?... If you are sure, then you can persuade others to go, I'm not going anyway."

"I'm not going either." The black death wave shook its head like a rattle.

As for the undead girl Wendy, let alone, because she has already proved her idea with practical actions - the distance between her and the devil boy has been opened by more than ten meters.

Ghost Sword Devil Boy's face looked a little ugly. But although his desire to fight is very strong, it doesn't mean that he has no brains. He knows that such a lich is definitely not as simple as an ordinary legend, and may even be at the level of a super strong man, which makes him have to Curse Sean for being lucky to have such a lich, because according to their information, there is no such strong person around Sean.

"Can we... can we announce the traces of this lich?" The devil boy's mind was spinning very fast.

"There is also a priest of the Church of Life following Sean. If my eyes are correct, then she is the chief saint of the Church of Life who has disappeared from our sight for almost two years, Heather." The dark prophecy The teacher continued. "Besides Xiao En right now, there is also a demon descendant and a dark elf. I really don't know what this lord wants to do, but even if we announce the news here in the wild land, there is no way to tell To cause any effect and harm, and even I can think of a hundred ways to get out of this situation, how many do you think the lord can think of?"

"Fifty types?" The devil boy didn't know why the dark prophet asked this question, but he still took the conversation.

"Even if there is only one, it means that we can't use this method to threaten or even cause any substantial harm to him." The dark prophet said lightly.

"Then what should we do now?" The devil boy's tone was rather unwilling.

"What should we do?" The dark prophet sneered, "Admit the failure of the mission honestly, and let others not act rashly. This place will soon become another battlefield. It's just that we haven't done a good job with the Peace Council yet. Preparations for battle are starting here, so report the news to the top, and let the big shots above worry about it. What should we do before the new mission is issued... Of course, it is best to find a way to continue to monitor Sean Connery, and investigate by the way What happened to that lich?"

"Leave the investigation to me!" Mo Tong said immediately.

"I don't trust you." The dark prophet said without hesitation. "If it were you, you would not hesitate to think of a way to create an opportunity to be alone with that lord, and with your character, you would definitely choose to make a move under such circumstances....I don't think you are that rival to the lord."

"Are you looking down on me!" The devil boy was immediately enraged, "Don't think that you are the planner of this operation so you can always tell me what to do, we are equal, you have no right to order me! And This time, your plan has completely failed, you should think about it after you go back. How will the organization evaluate you!"

Hearing the devil boy's words, the face of the dark prophet changed slightly.

dark nest. As one of the five most important core bases of Deaththorn, it naturally has the strictest guards and the most hidden location.

But on a certain day, not only was the location of this lair known to the peace conference, but it was even completely destroyed overnight by its precise force, and the whole Deaththorn was shocked. Afterwards, they paid a high price to finally find a clue pointing to Sean Connery, and in order to confirm this clue, Deaththorn had to pay a greater price to communicate with the plane of hell, and finally got a confirmation. That is why the Peace Council knew the exact location and strength structure of one of Deaththorn's five lairs, and it was betrayed by Xiao En to the Peace Council.

After learning of such a result, Deaththorn immediately decided to take revenge.

But if he just killed Sean, it would be too cheap for Sean.

In Deaththorn's plan, they wanted Sean to live to see the forces he had worked so hard to build fall apart, and then let him die with endless annoyance, frustration, remorse and other negative emotions.

Therefore, in the original plan, the war was mainly launched against Sean's territory - and the target of cooperation with Deaththorn was naturally the Senene noble faction of the Kingdom of Ryan. You must know that not only these nobles will go to Deaththorn to assassinate certain targets, but at some point Deaththorn will also join forces with the political opponents of the assassination target. After all, this is a win-win opportunity, and no one will refuse it, especially the Kingdom of Ryan The Sene noble faction at the time had many grounds for war against Shane.

For example, Blood Revenge.

But it is a pity that after the Dovigo family and the Finnistine family failed all-outly like red-eyed gamblers, no nobleman in the Kingdom of Ryan dared to launch a war against Sean, even provoking him. dare not. That's why Deaththorn had to start a backup plan - to bring the idea to the wild land: the reason why he didn't choose this plan at the beginning was because there were too many uncontrollable factors in the wild land.

A true strategist will not allow too many uncontrollable factors to appear in his plan.

For this reason, Deaththorn had to use the existence of the level of the thirteen coffins.

Of course, the original plan remains unchanged: the assassination team composed of Dark Knight, Death Sword, and Demon Soul is responsible for abolishing Xiao En; The subversive team went deep into the wilderness to make waves.

Therefore, after a series of secret operations, the plan planned by the dark prophet can be said to be half successful: to weaken the decision-making power and credibility of the wild council by splitting the wild land, and then to provoke civil strife in the entire wild land and hostility to the human kingdom. In the end, it caused a war and used the situation to guide the wild land to choose the Duchy of the Void as the first point of attack.

But it is a pity that the civil strife in the barren land is not particularly thorough, and there are also many neutrals and stabilityists who have not completely become hostile to humans.

to this end. The dark soothsayer had to go on trying: to arouse the wrath of the elven tribes of the Savage Land.

According to the plan, there should be enough clues left, at least able to point all the targets to humans, and Deaththorn can also harvest such good things as the tree of life fragments by the way. However, because of Sean's interference, not only did no clues be left at the scene of the crime, but even a human gathering point was slaughtered due to the impulse of the undead girl and others. conspiracy.

to this end. The dark prophet had to find a way to recover the broken branches of the tree of life so that he could continue to blame him.

But judging from the current results, the dark prophet's plan has completely failed.

The evaluation from the devil boy's mouth. Of course, it is not as simple as a simple evaluation.

Inside Deaththorn, there is an extremely strict reward system: when the task is completed, it is natural to get rewards, and the rewards are also different according to the performance of the task, output, customer satisfaction, etc.; and once the task fail. Then it is natural to be punished. But in the case of a team task with a planner, once the task fails, only the planner will be punished.

This time, the task of retaliating against Sean was planned by the dark prophet.

Counting the previous actions of inciting the nobles of Ryan Sene to target Xiao En, he has failed twice, so it is completely conceivable how severe the punishment awaits him after returning to Deaththorn. Although death is definitely not possible. After all, for a person who can reach the level of the thirteen coffins, Deaththorn is not willing to lose his combat power. But I'm afraid some torture and the like are unavoidable.

"Hmph." After a cold snort, Mo Tong turned and left.

"Where are you going?" the dark prophet shouted in a deep voice.

"As the captain, you have judged that the mission has failed and you will not continue to perform the mission. So before the new instructions are issued, the next time is my free time?" Ghost Sword Demon Boy said coldly, the radiance emanating from his body The killing intent seemed extremely strong, as if it was real, "If that's the case, then you don't need to worry about where I'm going, right?"

Among the dead thorns, there is no one who is good at it.

Therefore, when performing tasks, there will often be situations where one's own people slaughter one's own people. For this kind of behavior, Deaththorn has always turned a blind eye to it and ignored it at all. Only when it reaches the size of the thirteen coffins, Deaththorn strictly forbids its own people to kill its own people. Once anyone who violates the treaty is found, what awaits them is the endless pursuit and killing of the entire Deaththorn.

Therefore, no matter how strong the killing intent on Ghost Sword Demon Boy was, he would not attack the Dark Prophet. Of course, he will not be so stupid as to attack the dark prophet, even if the dark prophet seems to be seriously injured at this time, it seems that he is not even half of the strength in his heyday, but he will not shoot blindly, after all, the span of the strength gap Too big, if you shoot at the dark prophet, then he will definitely die.

Soon, the devil boy left the shelter covered by illusion.

Seeing the devil boy leave, the dark prophet sighed helplessly, then turned his head to look at the undead girl: "Wendy, you should act with him, if he is alone, his strength is very limited, the two of you act together If so, at least you will be able to escape smoothly even if you meet the next Sanctuary powerhouse."

In Deaththorn, the thirteen coffins all have a very strong ability to act alone—except for the black death tide who is not very easy to use, after all, they are all strong in the sanctuary, and they can move freely in most places on the Miracle Continent . However, the undead girl Wendy and the ghost sword demon boy are exceptions. At least before the two of them actually step into the sanctuary, Deaththorn will not let them move freely, so they have always acted in groups of two, even if they often These two people often attack each other at odds, but when they are in danger, they are also willing to make sacrifices for each other.

Therefore, even if the dark prophet does not explain, Wendy, the undead girl, will not watch the ghost sword devil boy leave alone.

But at this time, with the order of the dark prophet, her actions will be much more convenient, so after a slight nod, she also turned and left.

In a blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the illusion circle, the Dark Prophet and the Black Dead Tide.

"Shall I go with them too?" The black dead wave's brain is not very useful, so just now the dark prophet and the devil boy talked for a long time, and the black dead wave couldn't understand a sentence. The undead girl Wendy and the Ghost Sword Devil Boy who were the partners left, and the black death wave asked in a daze.

"No." The Dark Prophet shook his head, his face looked amiable, and his gaze towards the black tide of death became gentle: "Our mission has failed, and there is no point in staying here, so let's go back Well, there are a lot of things that need to be reported... and I can't use the magic power to deliver the news now, so I can only rely on you to take me out of here, my dear brother."

"Oh, I see, brother, look at me!" The black death tide let out a silly laugh, but judging from the sound, the black death tide was obviously very happy at this time.

I saw the hands of the black death tide suddenly shook towards the dark prophet, and the bandages on both hands shot away quickly, and then completely wrapped the dark prophet, almost tied to a mummy. It's just that unlike the black death tide whose whole body is wrapped in bandages, at least the black death tide still knows how to leave a mouth and nose for the dark prophet to breathe and speak.

When the black tide of death confirmed that the dark prophet was wrapped around him, he pulled the bandage back with his hands, and tied the black prophet to his body.

Immediately afterwards, the black tide of death started to run, but the direction he chose to leave was completely opposite to that of Ghost Sword Demon Boy and Undead Girl Wendy. (to be continued...)
