Chapter 40: The Shadow Warrior
Another Kagetsu Ringo?
Although the bamboo curtains on the four sides of the portable shrine can only see faint figures, but it is indeed the flower moon Ringo? No! No way! Qingyi glanced back at her smiling female companion and decisively rejected her irrational thoughts. Who that person is, you only need to use the [Soul Force Field] to know at a glance, but at this distance, it is a bit reluctant, and even the Necromantic King cannot quickly obtain the information of a specific soul from the battlefield.
The flower moon Lin Yi beside him got out of the battle state, changed back into human form, and said, "Two of you, let's go to the base camp and wait." She deliberately stood behind Blade Soldier Wuji, and no one could notice her. Dao Bing Wuji's face twitched, probably not used to someone standing behind him, especially such a mysterious and dangerous woman.
The ashigaru troops were immediately incorporated into the large army, and with the support of the rear, the necromantic side had the upper hand. The creatures retreated after throwing down a hundred lives, and behind the vine shield army, it can be seen that their army is in chaos and orderly, so that the necromantic creatures cannot cover up and kill the past. Speaking of which, this vine shield soldier was still forced out by Hanayue Ringo. Shields have no status in ancient Japan, firstly, because the bow and arrow making process is not developed, and the samurai armor is enough to deal with the stray arrows, and there is no need for shields, secondly, because of the lack of materials, the sword plays a greater role than the shield, and the shield is not as good as the sword, and the third is that Japan has advocated the spirit of not fearing death since ancient times, and the offensive spirit can better reflect the samurai spirit than the defense. "Qiankun" reflects the historical characteristics of Japan well in terms of design, but it is only that the country of Asaha promoted arquebuses in the army and forced the creatures to respond with shields, which led to the creation of the vine shield soldiers. Players don't like to use shields, and NPCs also feel awkward, so they have no choice but to make the decision to equip Ashigaru with the lightest shield, such as the rattan shield.
The two armies temporarily ceased fighting, and the front-line portable shrine slowly returned and entered a temporary command post surrounded by a white curtain. The attendant who carried the sedan chair left in a hurry, and the sedan chair greeted him. Her body, clothes, dress, and even the pink mist around her were the same as those of Kazuki Ringo, except for one difference, that is, she wore a fierce warrior mask. The woman in the kimono wears a warrior mask, and although it is on the battlefield, it is also extremely strange.
When she saw the three kings waiting in front of her, she immediately took off her mask and knelt on her knees, her forehead pressed to the ground, and said with the highest etiquette in Japan: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, Lord June, Lord Swordsman, Hanatsuki Nei Xu Ginseng." ”
(The voice was hoarse and neutral, which startled Xue Duo: "Male? ”)
"Let's go down and change our clothes." Kazuki Ringo replied.
The man who called himself "Kazuki Uchio" changed into a samurai costume and reappeared, this time greeting the three with samurai etiquette. It turned out to be a thin man, with a pit on his face and hands, and his eyes were sharp, and he didn't say much. Although his body is thin, he looks firm and powerful because he behaves in a straightforward manner and has no superfluous body movements. When he sat down, his posture was like a boulder, and he wouldn't move even a centimeter.
Night Sakura Clansman Kazuki Uchio: Level 69, zombie (necromantic creature). Kazuki Nao was born in a samurai family, lost his father since he was a child, was blinded by people because of his thin body, and was insulted by the heir of the family, "You waste is not worthy of holding a knife", although he wanted to duel with the other party after this happened, but he was afraid that after his death, his seriously ill mother had no one to take care of him, so he could only swallow his anger. There is no nostalgia for a family where everyone is cold-blooded. Die protecting your mother in "Doomsday Confrontation". Later, he was recruited by Santu Ji and became his right and left hand. He was given the surname "Flower Moon" by the lord. Stoic, tenacious, and possess all the good qualities of a Japanese samurai. Loyal to the lord, willing to become the lord's shadow warrior. In fact, no one knows that "he" is a woman. The skills he is good at are [Sword Mastery], [Lion Dance], [Yingdu Valley], [Iwashimizu], and [Iron Will]. Can temporarily use an allied target for a skill at the cost of a temporary 25% drop in all stats (this talent effect does not stack).
Oh? Woman dressed as a man? Have you always appeared in the family as a man? The only chance to wear women's clothes is only when you play the main father? This probably has an inside story. However, Qing Yi didn't bother to care whether the other party was the protagonist of the bitter love drama, what he valued more was this person's soul talent - he could actually obtain the target skill of the friend for the time being? You can only get one skill at a time, but with enough preparation, it's enough to act as a stand-in on certain occasions. In this way, Hanazuki Uchio copied Santuhime's [Sakura Front], right? If you put on a mask and wear the same costume, as long as you don't engage the enemy, you can completely confuse the real with the fake.
It's not teleportation, it's not shadow clone, it's not twins. The mystery turned out to be so simple, but smart people thought it was complicated.
"Neixu, where's the cowherd?"
Kazuki Ringo's first sentence didn't ask how the battle was going, and directly looked for someone. Just at the end of her voice, the person she was looking for walked slowly into the command room and unceremoniously found a place to sit down: "Yo, princess, you are back." I'm here to help you anyway, isn't it rude to call me a cowherd? ”
Qingyi met the Warring States Daimyo for the first time - this military advisor who was once as famous as the Bald Eagle and the Dream Broken Guanhe. The reason why the word "Zeng" is used is simply because the first two have crossed the threshold of the three turns and become well-deserved gods, and cannot be compared with other military experts. Cowherd is a special profession for men in Japan, and it is very impolite to call others, so that the always polite Kazuki Ringo can be called so, which shows that the actual relationship between the two is good.
The Sengoku Daimyo is considered to be the same age, older than Bald Eagle, younger than Dream Broken Guanhe, very thin and energetic; Obviously a man, but he wears colorful Jinping, isn't it on par with Fusang Jianhao? But no one is handsome, it's just a good example, no wonder he is called "Cowherd". He dyed his red hair with a shawl (this is a common problem among Japanese gamers, many people also copy the hairstyles of some anime characters), and his eyes are slightly smaller, but because of the eyeliner, they are not small and more feminine, which is why it is a little related to the name "Poison Tesuji". His famous sandalwood folding fan was tucked behind his collar, and his right hand, which he was supposed to hold, held the vermilion food box, and in his left hand, he tasted the Japanese fruit with relish. Qingyi saw it at a glance, he had also eaten this and fruit, it was the "cherry blossom mochi" that Santu Ji had used to entertain him, because seven cherry blossoms were used as raw materials, so it had a unique flavor.
(Qingyi asked: "Is this just 'visual kei'?") ”)
(Dao Bing Wuji replied: "Actually, it's 'killing Matt.'" ”)
"I've been waiting for you for a long time—anything else?" Putting down the empty food box, the Sengoku daimyo licked his fingers, and he was still unsatisfied. This gesture must be worth the rich woman's money.
"Absolutely." Hanatsuki Lin Yi covered his mouth and smiled, waved his sleeves, and someone sent another food box.
Looking at this scene, Qingyi felt strange in his heart: No! Can you buy people's hearts with Japanese sweets?! Can you try to buy the bald eagle with potato chips and buy the dream of Guanhe with tea?
"Hey, I heard Meng Duanguan He mention you." The sword soldier Wuji squatted down and asked the Sengoku Daimyo: "You are a living player, how can you run over to be the military advisor of the necromantic creatures?" ”
"You are Chinese, why did you come to 'Fuji'?" The Sengoku daimyo asked rhetorically.
"Me?" Dao Bing Wuji's face twitched: "I'll come over and play, can't I?" ”
"It's such a coincidence, I'm also here to play, can't I?" The Sengoku Daimyo sneered, stuffed the Japanese fruit into his mouth, and munched on it while making eye contact with the oni.
The sword soldier Wuji straightened up and said to Qingyi: "Military experts are all dogs. ”
"I feel the same way." Qingyi sighed deeply. Although it was only the first time they met, the bad qualities displayed by the Sengoku daimyo were already on par with those of the bald eagle. Skoll is just picking his nose and spitting now, and if he wants to keep up with these military strategists, he needs to continue to work hard!
"But, Princess-sama......" The Sengoku Daimyo suddenly lost his expression, and although he was chewing the sweet and sweet Japanese sweets, judging by the stiff mechanical movement of his facial muscles, he was chewing on wood slag. Such a reckless decision was made without consulting me? ”
"I remember I discussed it with you." Kazuki Ringo replied calmly.
"But I didn't agree. What an adventure! The Sengoku Daimyo frowned, his voice was a little heavier, but his tone did not appear angry, as if it was just the movie narrator accentuating his tone when needed: "Although you have used this to conquer all the strongholds in the Yuzhou area, you have never been able to bypass the Kaminari Plain under our feet. Your convergence with the great forces has certainly gathered your own strength, but thanks to you, the enemy has also relinquished control of the surrounding area, and gathered all his forces to form a powerful fist, just ahead, in the near future—even tomorrow. Our overall strength is far inferior to that of living beings, you know, and when both sides are ready for a decisive battle, we have a big chance of losing. ”
"Because you lost a lot in the decisive battle, you kept procrastinating?" Kazuki Ringo asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it good to drag? The necromancy protection system is still in place, and it is beneficial and harmless for us to drag it out, and you don't expect to win the battle anyway, do you? Princess, I don't see that you would take it for granted. The Sengoku Daimyo grinned and deliberately laughed with a hint of mockery.
"You're right, we came up with this idea because we need to break this fist." Qingyi interjected: "The enemy has gathered all the living forces, as long as they can be defeated, this camp conflict can be over." ”
"Haha! I understand it on paper. Indeed, the strength of the three of you is invincible below the great god, but it is only below the great god. Who of you is a triple professional? Didn't you? Oh, you just rely on the sharpness of the Necromantic King template to dare to provoke the great god? Have you ever thought that if the great gods joined forces, they would be ten times more powerful than you? Hey, don't laugh at the dead. ”
Qingyi was not angry, but replied seriously: "If the great god really abandons face and joins forces to meet us, of course we will be defeated; But if it's against a lone god, I'm afraid we still have a few chances of winning. "The three Necromantic Kings have all made great progress under the special training of the top gods, and they have an intuitive understanding of the strength of the gods, and they will not be overwhelmed as soon as they meet. This is where they have an advantage over ordinary players, and if other players are ordinary horses, they are horses that are not afraid of the sound of artillery fire after training.
"You're all combat professionals, and you're used to solving problems with combat, but I'm not. I use my brain to solve problems. The Sengoku Daimyo tilted his head, tapped his temples with his index finger, and kept looking at Qingyi, no matter how he looked at it, he was provocative. He turned his head to look at Kazuki Ringo: "Princess, even if you arm the ashigaru to the teeth, their basic quality is still behind the player. On the NPC side, necromantic creatures have their natural flaws and are definitely slower to react to unexpected events than living creatures; On the player's side, we're 10-20 levels lower than the other side. But—"
"In a word!" The sword soldier Wuji was impatient and scolded: "Are you cowardly? Damn, if you don't have the ability, you can get out of the way, and don't in the pit! ”
"But!" The Warring States Daimyo insisted on finishing his words and was categorical: "No matter how bad the battle is, I have fought it, what is this small scene." Since you're in charge of the firecrackers, I'll be in charge of the food! ”
Hanazuki Lin Ye nodded: "Okay, Cowherd." ”
"Don't call me a cowherd!"
