Quadruple split

Game time PM17:44

Misha County, in front of the Long Bridge of Abby City

Xia Lian raised the cross in her hand with some difficulty and knocked the seven or eight mutants who were fighting to the ground. She grabbed the few seconds before the next wave of monsters came up and took a big breath. Her originally clean and refreshing short flaxen hair It was stained with a lot of blood, and the high-level priest's robes were almost dyed black. Endless sweat slipped from both sides of her cheeks, and droplets fell to the ground along her pointed chin.

The last ray of dusk is still lingering on the horizon, but it can't slow down the pace of night. There is not much visibility left in this land that was originally shrouded in a layer of haze.

At this point, Xia Lian Zhuye, the first saint of the Shuguang Sect, has been here for a full ten hours.

"The goddess is on top."

The elf saint stepped back half a step, leaning on her cross in a vain manner, and muttered through gritted teeth: "Heifan, you little bastard, you are really hurting me. Is this what you call seven to nine hours? This is so special. Is that what he calls seven to nine hours?!"

Her last words were turned around and roared to the herald behind her.

The ranger player named 'Aris Virtue' not far away shrank his neck and said with a wry smile: "Well, Your Highness the Saint, Lord Hei Fan should have said 'at least seven to nine hours' before. "

"I won't listen! I won't listen, I won't listen!"

Xia Lian used a whip to kick away the two mutants who were staggering to their feet. She rubbed her blood-stained boots on the ground and asked viciously: "Damn it, did he say how long it would take at the latest?" Is it done?”

Aristocratic coughed dryly and turned his head away in embarrassment: "Sir Heifan said"

"I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen!"

"."

The final result would naturally be that the combined forces were wiped out on the Hodil Mountain Road, and no one could come. Xia Lian knew this very well, even better than the herald. Her current behavior was almost manic. In addition to the fact that he was indeed unsustainable, he was also worried about Yuchen and the others over there, fearing that something terrible would happen to the United Forces before he fell.

[No, you can't think wildly. Even if something happens, they will definitely notify this place to organize the evacuation of civilians as soon as possible, so no news is good news, yes, no news is good news. 】

Xia Lian calmed down her anxious mood and continued to skillfully stop the seemingly endless monsters in front of her. Due to the terrain, Xia Lian, who was blocking the bridge alone, would not face more than thirty mutants at the same time, and on the bridge The 'corpses' of the dead that had been piled high also played a certain delaying role, but this did not mean that she could go anywhere easily. Although Xia Lian was unable to use magic, she was still able to crush her in terms of physical fitness and cold weapon combat. Most high-level professionals, but even so, she had been fighting continuously for ten hours, but she was still gradually unable to continue, and her physical and mental state had begun to decline off a cliff.

This is also reasonable. After all, even if Xia Lian likes to fight with others with crosses and bayonets, and fight head-on and violently, she is still just an "amateur" in melee combat. Perhaps the elf's long life will allow her to learn a lot of fighting. Skills, mastering the methods of using various weapons to open people's heads, but in the end she is still a spell caster, which is completely different from those melee professions that rely on heavy swords, battle axes and big hammers.

Even if she has extraordinary strength and physical fitness, even if she can crush a great knight with pure hand-to-hand combat, Her Royal Highness the First Saint is still positioned as a spell caster, which means that it is always difficult for her to survive in hand-to-hand combat. way to maximize your power.

To put it simply, under the same circumstances in terms of strength, physique, speed, etc., it would take Xia Lian five minutes to defeat Cordoba, while those sword masters, knight lords, or killers promoted from thieves would take It takes less than ten seconds.

If we want to be more straightforward, then we can take the player's character panel as an example. If Xia Lian has the same set of basic attributes as an ordinary sword master, then her level in specialization will never exceed the latter. One-tenth of the total. To put it crudely, it means one-handed weapon specialization, two-handed weapon specialization and other things. To put it more complexly, it means the use of one's own strength, the angle of the attack, the control of steps, etc. Even if the basic attributes are complete The same, but there is absolutely no comparison between the two in this regard.

Similarly, when wielding a weapon, Xia Lian can exert 10% of her power to 10%, and a sword master can exert 10% of her power to 30 or 40%, while also suppressing the consumption to one-tenth of the former.

Although both can kill Zhan Wu Zha's mutants in droves, their natures are completely different.

After ten hours of holding on, if the person blocking this long bridge was a great knight, then he would still have at least 50% of his strength left.

And Xia Lian can hardly even lift her arms now.

So she had to use some magical abilities to assist herself. Even though she was attacked head-on by the Dark Goddess Delia, she suffered severe backlash and was unable to use divine magic freely. But as the first saint of the Dawn Sect, Xia Lian still has other abilities.

For example, the market price of a bottle of [Pure Magic Essence Mixture] is 35,000 gold coins.

For example, you can buy [Red Obsidian Blood Marrow] at 100ml/50,000 gold coins on the black market.

For example, just taking one [Excellent Jujube Pill] can heal most injuries.

For example, every time the trigger is pulled, three [Holy Confessor Hand Crossbow] will shoot out three compressed high-explosive condensed light arrows.

For example, the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce only produces two hundred boxes per year, and it is rare for [Stable Bomb Sets] to be free from major accidents.

For example, the Dawn Sect’s most precious treasure is the alchemy item [Ring of Glory Three] that requires hundreds of thousands of believers to perform large-scale prayers.

As a revered saint, even one of the top figures in the entire City of Light, how could Xia Lian not have some of the best things in the world? The reason why she has been in poverty most of the time is very simple. His Highness likes to buy and buy. Regardless of whether he uses it or not, as long as he goes shopping, he must fill up the space bracelets, expansion rings, phase pendants and other storage props before he gives up.

Therefore, it is not without reason that he has lost the power to use magic but still persists until now. If those mutants before noon were defeated by Xia Lian with her strength, it can be said that the monsters after that were basically defeated by her using gold coins. Smashed to death.

Money is an undoubted and powerful force. This theory is not only applicable to the real world, but also makes sense in a world of high energy and high magic like the Innocence Continent. As long as there are enough gold coins, everything can become simple and crude. .

Even those who are famously strong are the same. They also need to arm themselves with weapons, equipment, accessories, and supplies, and most people will also prepare a few trump cards for themselves. These things require a considerable amount of effort. There is a cost, and money is naturally the most common of all costs.

Under the premise of the same level of strength, a sword master who has lived in seclusion for many years and only has a broken iron sword will definitely not be able to defeat a sword master who is carrying a dragon-slaying sword, wearing a paralysis ring, and wearing a full set of thirteen and fourteen god costumes. Holy.

Of course, this situation is usually impossible to happen, because strong people who have reached a certain level of strength will never be too poor in money. They have too many ways to make money, except for the most common form of being bodyguards for those rich people. In addition to the LOW method, they can also go to various dangerous places to dig up rare materials and sell them, rent a workshop to help people enchant equipment for a fee, find an adventurer guild to get a strength certification and complete a large number of tasks. In short, there are countless This way you can get a lot of gold coins into your account.

As a saint, Xia Lian is even more convenient. She doesn't even have to do anything personally. She can receive a large amount of pocket money from the church every month. And as the core high-level and powerful person of Dawn Sect, many good Everything is provided free of charge by the church, so the inventory on hand is naturally not small.

So even if she didn't wear the [Thousand Curses Valkyrie Suit] that she sent for dry cleaning when she came out this time, she wouldn't be able to use those precious props that must be inspired by magic and magic, but there are still many good things available.

For example, from the player's perspective, [Red Obsidian Blood Marrow], which has the effect of 'immediately restoring 80% of health after use, increasing the upper limit of health by 30%, and restoring 1% of physical energy per second for the next minute', can be moved at once. In addition to the [Excellent Jujube Pills] with at least 28 negative effects, and the [Stable Bomb Set] each with stable power and stable killing radius, these things are the core reasons why Xia Lian can persist until now.

I have to say that this is definitely a huge waste. If nothing else, just using those [stable bombs] that can kill an intermediate professional in seconds to blow up mutants can kill two iron cocks. If If it were used by a believer of the Goddess of Wealth, he might have been punished by God.

But Xia Lian had no choice. She really couldn't hold on anymore. The backlash of divine power was not just as simple as making her unable to use divine magic. The first saint was bearing a huge load all the time during this period, and Except for the first few days in the Gudami Plains, she barely had a day's rest. In the morning, she even used some kind of prop with a potential overdraft effect. The combination of various reasons has almost exhausted her energy.

But the other war zone was not much better. There had been no news from the Hodil Mountain Road, which made Xia Lian feel like she was stuck in her throat, so she could only continue to grit her teeth and comfort herself with the words "no news is good news".

"Yes, no news is good news."

She muttered in a low voice again, raised her head and drank the last half of the [Red Obsidian Blood Marrow]. She used the extremely luxurious treatment potion that was countless times more expensive than the same weight of gold to restore a little physical strength, and once again became powerful. He picked up his cross.

However, at this moment, Aris Bade, who was not far away, suddenly shouted: "Your Highness Xia Lian, there is news from Hodil Mountain Road!!"

“No news is good news, no news is good news”

"Your Highness Xia Lian, Master Hei Fan has sent a message."

“No news is good news”

"Your Highness Xia Lian??"

“No news is good news.”

Xia Lian, whose consciousness was so dazed that she had some demonic barriers, beat the mutant severely while muttering with dull eyes: "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen."

"The third phase of the Requiem officially ended five minutes ago!"

Aris clenched his teeth and stamped his feet, directly skipping the reporting process, looked at the message board and read loudly: "Our side has won a great victory!"

"A great victory?"

Xia Lian was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously kicked up half of the mutants that bounced from the sky. She turned around and asked, "Win? Did they win?!"

"Won!"

Aris nodded with a red face, and said excitedly: "Yes, Your Highness! A total of more than 12,600 mutants have been wiped out. The combined forces have begun to assemble at the Hodir Pass. Soon, they will Begin the final phase of Project Requiem!”

Xia Lian let out a long sigh and collapsed on the spot as if she had lost all her strength. In the next second, she got up faster than she had fallen and kicked away two mutants who tried to take advantage of her illness to kill her. The person shouted angrily: "Awesome! You didn't let me down!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Aristocratic also laughed and said, "We are already halfway to the victory."

Xia Lian's eyes, which had been somewhat out of focus, brightened again, and she asked excitedly: "When will the final stage begin? When will they come? How soon did that boy Hei Fan say that it will be soon?"

"Well"

Aristomus suddenly stiffened, hesitated for a while and then asked with a smile: "What about that, Lord Hei Fan asked me to ask you how long you can hold on?"

Xia Lian was stunned for a moment: "How do you insist?"

"Please wait."

Aris Wicked seemed to be in a trance for a moment, and then said loudly: "What Lord Hei Fan means is that if you continue to guard here without dying in battle, how long can you hold it?"

Xia Lian's face turned ugly at that moment. She smashed several mutants away with her cross and then gritted her teeth and said, "Ask him for me, if half-death can be considered as 'death without fighting'."

Aris was silent for a while, then nodded awkwardly: "Lord Hei Fan, please."

"That little bastard!"

Xia Lian cursed angrily, then said with a slumped face: "Two hours, at most two hours, and then let him explain the reason."

Alex nodded wickedly, opened the message bar and quickly edited a reply to Mr. Heifan.

one minute later

Aris raised his head wickedly and said with a livid face: "Our losses were heavy in the third stage. Although all the enemies were wiped out, a total of more than 400 soldiers were killed in the first to third battle sequences. During the final charge, The support sequence went out against orders and sacrificed 200 people, including 30% of the civilians. In the end, only 27 people of the heavy-duty interceptor group responsible for responding to the Holy Knights survived. Kaivos, the great priest of the Plenty Sect, died in the battle, and Furman officiated. He lost his left eye and is still being rescued. The Paladins, who continued four rounds of charges and served as the tip of the spear in the final advance, have lost 30% of their numbers. More than 40 of the 301 surviving knights are still there. In a coma."

Xia Lian's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat.

"Lord Hei Fan said that everyone needs a little rest, but two hours should be enough."

"No."

Xia Lian interrupted the other party softly and clenched the cross in her hand tightly.

"Tell him that I was joking just now. We can last at least four more hours here. Tell them not to come here in a hurry. It's still time to get some sleep and play two deceitful cards or something."
