Chapter 898: Everyone who reacted decisively
Of course, as the patriarch of the Leoria family, a very capable, calm and detached from low-level interests, the Marquis of BrΓΌt is naturally not comparable to his "gentlemanly son", or in other words, plays a different role. Even though he had broken several ribs in the chest with Lu Xi's kick, and despite the sharp and cold blade of his neck, he still turned around and let out a tragic roar at his subordinates, like those glorious martyrs who sacrificed their lives to a great cause.
"This guy is the assassin of the Puppet Emperor Iken! Kill him! Kill him right away! Ignore my life! Kill him right away! As a knight, as the patriarch of the Leoria family with a thousand years of glory, and as a courtier of His Highness, how can I be forced by Xiaoxiao to delay His Highness's plan! This is your lord's order, do it now! Kill this despicable assassin! β
Is it really okay for a mere cultist to pretend to be a martyr? Although many times, cultists often seem to be more willing to spare their lives than good people who are full of honor and positive energy.
Lu Xi sighed, and directly placed a silence spell on this guy who yelled at the cosplay martyr. He originally thought that since the son who was disguised as a gentleman was a silver-level priest of the Ryukhuo Sect, it was natural that he should be more powerful as a father, at least a high-ranking cadre of the cult or something...... However, it is a pity that the Marquis of Bryut is just an ordinary Ryut Fire cultist, and his own strength has barely touched the threshold of silver. He was a great fighter with a lot of combat intelligence and exquisite swordsmanship, but that's about it. The Marquis of BrΓΌt himself does not have any spell-casting ability, and his magic resistance is also unsatisfactory.
Really, it's obviously beating up cultists, is this kind of sense of dΓ©jΓ vu and emptiness that is a 90-level bully for a bear child who has just come out of a novice village a swollen thing?
"My name is Lu Xi? Lin Ge? Belencaster. Not many of you have heard of this name, but if you have heard of it, you should understand what it means. Lu Xi glanced at the knights who surrounded him in the middle, they were all like great enemies, so nervous that they seemed to be looking at a nuclear warhead in a human heart, as if they were a super demon king who was about to enter the slaughter of the city.
Is there a demon king as beautiful as me? Lu Xi couldn't help but pout. But I have to admit that I really enjoy this feeling.
Fortunately, except for this marquis, and the fierce general brother who was knocked down by Limu's arrow, there were no Urocorian disciples among the knights present, and it is estimated that they were all deceived by the lord. If all the nobles and knights of an entire marquis were to be harmonized by the cultists, it is estimated that they would have begun to massacre the lords in an organized manner, opening the door to the infinite abyss and the lava sea. Such a cruel thing. It's not like it hasn't happened in history.
Lu Xi's hand was still firmly pressed against the hilt of his sword, and his eyes released a warm and friendly gaze, revealing an understated business smile. He felt that with his affinity, he should be able to naturally express his kindness, but unfortunately, the knights present didn't seem to appreciate it, and still put on an expression facing the Great Demon King.
Tsk, is this forcing me to play the role of the Great Demon King to the end? Lu Xi couldn't help but sneer. Thereupon. He recognized the authentic and said: "You present should all be knights who have experienced a hundred battles, and at least you should still have the vision." It should be understood. My companions and I want to kill all of you at once, and it's basically as easy as eating, sleeping, and snoring, and you won't even be able to hold up the reinforcements sent by Her Highness Katarina. β
The knights were in an uproar, and the vast majority of people who thought highly of themselves naturally felt that they had been greatly insulted, but some of the old and serious people who knew a little bit about the intelligence sources knew very well that what the other party said was definitely not a lie to intimidate them.
ββ¦β¦ I've heard your name. Lu Xi? Belencaster ...... Guru. Although I don't know the details of your specific examples and exploits, when it comes to prestige among the truly powerful, you are the most prominent young man in recent years. The old knight tightened his grip on his sword and struck a charge in the Auckland military swordfight, his eyes stagnant and heavy. But the body stood unyieldingly, without wavering: "But you should understand that the lord's order is absolute!" As the pride of the knights, we must not tolerate a man who hurts and humiliates our lord like this! β
"Even if I tell you, honorable knight, that your lord is not what you think he is, and that he may even be an impostor, you must be so strong?" Lu Xi said with a smile.
If this was said by someone else, it is estimated that the people present would think that they had been insulted even more, and it was possible to rush over and kill them. But this was said by Lu Xi, who has a level 11 "tongue skill", which is obviously just a simple sentence, but it is full of strange persuasiveness. As a result, these simple-minded knights suddenly became even more hesitant. Although they would not betray their sovereign on the spot because of a short sentence, they were in a dilemma for a while.
ββ¦β¦ This, this, what an insult! After a long while, the old knight spoke slowly: "You must not insult a nobleman of a family in this way, even if Her Royal Highness Caterina is here in person, he will never be so rude to our lord!" β
"It seems that you really value the lord's sense of honor and life! Well, I respect you, Your Excellency, and am even more reluctant to hurt you and your colleagues. Lu Xi smiled: "It's okay, the real facts are here." As long as you stay honest, restrain your subordinates, and don't make any rash moves, I won't hurt Your Excellency the Marquis. Follow-up questions, when Karin's people arrive, let's discuss them slowly. Rest assured, we won't keep you waiting too long. β
Those present breathed a sigh of relief, and they didn't know whether they were glad that the lord had finally saved his life (temporarily) or if he didn't have to bear such a responsibility anymore. Anyway, everything that happened today has put a lot of pressure on these rural nobles who have never seen the world in their lives and are just powering themselves in their own territory.
Lu Xi's words are right, everyone really doesn't have to wait too long. In the distance, the banner of the Battle Angel fluttering in the wind was already faintly visible, and the sound of horses' hooves was rapid and dense from far and near, and at first glance, there were at least a thousand horsemen.
Lu Xi's eyesight quickly saw the appearance of the female general at the head of the line, and immediately showed a triumphant smile. He was pretty much sure at this point. The lives of these tens of thousands of prisoners of war, he finally saved.
"Then, your days as the Marquis of Leoria will only be a little while, poor Ryuche Cultist. Sorry for ruining your plans again. But don't get downcast. There are already several Abyss Lords who have suffered great losses and even lost their lives at the hands of contemptible people. This is still the case for core executives, not to mention you temporary workers who have been cannon fodder by Amway? Lu Xi smiled at the marquis who couldn't speak: "Then again, why should I say 'again'?" β
His Excellency the Marquis's eyes naturally revealed overt hatred, but more of them were unconcealable fear, as if he had seen a natural enemy suddenly descend. It is not surprising that anyone who is very confident in his acting skills and camouflage skills will suddenly be coldly pierced by a chaotic crowd of onlookers who have broken through all psychological defenses.
The Young Guards arrived with about 1,500 cavalrymen and soon took over all the defense of the entire site. The female general who led the team rode a tall horse and walked straight towards Lu Xi under the big flag. The knights of the Marquis of Leoria hurriedly bowed down and made way for the majestic female general and her guards. But. What surprised them to the point of almost breaking down was that the unattainable superman in their minds, one of the important ministers of Her Royal Highness Katarina, showed an amiable smile at the unidentified young magician, and took the initiative to step forward and pat the other party's shoulder, as if he saw his close son and nephew.
"You've been surprising us!" The female general opened her mouth and smiled: "Time and time again, an elderly person like me really can't stand it. β
"Thankfully, Karin and all of you reacted decisively and quickly. So the surprise didn't turn into a thriller! Lu Xi put away his sword and bowed to the lady. She looked like a beautiful woman in her early thirties. But it is definitely an elder who is several rounds older than him, and he is a comrade-in-arms who fights side by side and lives and dies together, so he naturally deserves his most respectful courtesy: "Greetings for a long time, respected Lady Greesa." β
Commander of the Young Guard, the sword saint Glisa with the title of "Star Eye"? Countess of Elstein - of course, this is the so-called honorary title. That is, the emerging "urban aristocracy", which is commonly known as the new "urban aristocracy", has an annuity and status, but has no fiefdom - nodded: "Although I have been in the army for a long time, I can often hear the legend of your activity. Guardian of Blackman. The Federation hero who crushed the undead, the first person in the modern era to crusade against the Demon God...... Hehe, your reputation has now spread to this faraway Auckland. β
Speaking of which, the female sword saint also has some sighs. A year ago, she fought alongside this young man, and at that time he was so talented that he was like a dazzling jewel, and no one could help but marvel at this young man's talent. But even so, there is still a place for immaturity. But only a year later, although he is still radiant, even sharper and more eye-catching, but between Gu Pan, there is more precipitation and a sense of introverted oppression. His aura was steady and gentle, and he was almost on an equal footing with his new Sword Master.
Sure enough, there are talents from all over the country! However, maybe only such a person can be worthy of that highness...... But in this case, who is that girl?
The female swordmaster's gaze slipped covertly over the wind not far away, but her heart couldn't help but sink. She could feel Lu Xi's growth and strength at this time, but she couldn't see any aura of extraordinary strength from the wind, not even a little bit...... But to say that this girl with a smile and extraordinary bearing is an ordinary person, it is absolutely impossible.
Hey, what the hell is today? No matter how strong this girl is, as long as she comes with Lu Xi, at least it proves that she is not an enemy, isn't that a good thing? Thinking of this, the female swordmaster couldn't help but smile in her heart.
"Marquis of Bruit, in view of your serious suspicion of collusion with the Ryukhuo Cult, I arrest you by royal decree of His Highness. Your troops and retainers will be stationed in place for the next order. Now, is there anything else you can say? The female sword saint looked at the marquis condescendingly, and a trace of regret flashed in her eyes: "Oh, I forgot, you can't speak now." I hope you will hurry up and think carefully about what you have to say in front of Your Highness. β
In all fairness, among these noble lords who came to kneel and lick Karin, the Grace Swordmaster was the one who was most worthy of the Marquis. His style of life is inevitably a touch of aristocratic artificiality and delicacy, but after all, it is harmless, he is sincere and diligent, cautious and serious, meticulous in his work, although he has no great talent, but he is a person who is very trusted by his superiors and colleagues. Of course, he is also a sincere gentleman who is worth associating.
This guy is so good at acting? But how did the kid find out? The female sword saint looked at Lu Xi, who had a weird smile on her face, and couldn't help but shudder. Of course he didn't know, it was Lu Xi who heard the prompt sound in his mind that the task was completed, and he immediately felt comfortable.
"Well, that's it? The so-called special urgent mission doesn't seem to be so difficult. If I do it a few more times, won't I be able to earn enough XP to reach Legendary in a year at most? (To be continued.) )
