Chapter 8 Friend, You Are Familiar
Boomββββββ!!!
Like a thunderbolt, accompanied by a bold roar, the power of the rage was released.
Joshua's slash broke through the air, white waves of air surging and distorting the atmosphere, ring-shaped shockwaves spreading rapidly, a huge roar shattering all the nearby windows, and the crimson fighting qi turned into beams of gale, piercing through the enemy's array.
The first several spearmen were blasted away by the behemoth that came out of thin air, and in the crisp sound of bones shattering, these people rolled more than ten meters away after knocking down all their companions behind them, the weapons in their hands shattered into several sections, the shields were knocked aside, countless cracks appeared in the armor on their bodies, blood gushed out of them, and the breath of life was cut off, and the wind still did not stop, countless dust and debris flew all over the sky, enveloping the entire block.
These soldiers are all wearing heavy armor, holding shields and spears, forming a formation to charge, even in the face of the rushing cavalry has the strength to fight, they are ordinary people can not face the army head-on, the meat grinder in the battle array.
But! For Joshua, for the [Extreme Qi Lifting Slash] slashed by the former legendary warriors, it was precisely because they chose to charge head-on, so they were vulnerable and vulnerable!
A bewildered gray mist fell, revealing the masked streets.
The paved road was shattered by the force of the slash, twisted and distorted, cracked masonry, broken spears, and shield glass that had been reduced to countless pieces scattered around, like the residue of a monster chewing it up, and the rest of the remaining spearmen stayed in place in fear, they were dumbfounded and did not dare to continue to move forward.
With just one blow, Joshua completely halted the charge of the heavily armored spearmen phalanx, and everyone looked at each other, not daring to make a move.
"It's a pity that the weapons are not good enough"
Slowly exhaling a breath, Joshua threw away the long sword that had been shattered in his hand, and said with some dissatisfaction: "It was actually broken halfway." β
In his expectation, under the attack of skills that are at least five times more powerful than the ordinary Qi Lifting Slash, this team of spearmen will definitely have a row of people who will be completely split from beginning to end, but in the middle of the swing, the weapons in their hands will be overwhelmed and completely shattered, and the gathered fighting qi cannot be cut out, and can only turn into an ordinary shock wave.
But it doesn't matter, as long as the goal is achieved.
"Listen." Taking a step, Joshua stood in front of the soldier who had completely lost his will to fight and looked frightened, and said in a deep voice: "Now, I ask, you answer." β
"Please say my lord!" After glancing at each other, one of the men who seemed to be the leader said in a trembling voice, "We must have said it all!" β
They are just soldiers, not knights, and ordinary battles are fine, but in the face of this warrior in front of him, who has no possibility of defeating them at all and can easily slaughter them, naturally he will not have any loyalty to that nominal master.
"Who is your leader?" Joshua didn't want to waste too much time, the movement of his battle was very large, and it didn't take long for more enemies to surround him: "Where is he?" β
"Our mercenary is the merchant Danlia, who should be in the Lord's Mansion in the city center now, and the other leaders should be patrolling all parts of the city, but when they hear the siren, they will come immediately."
The soldiers who answered were very cooperative, and they didn't have any discipline as private soldiers, which was normal, under the blow just now, they were killed and wounded twelve, and they lost one-third of their troops.
"Lord's Mansion?" Joshua frowned, the corners of his mouth pulled an arc, and said calmly: "Moving into Lao Tzu's house in such a hurry, it seems that I don't exist at all." β
The soldiers did not dare to reply, they all threw their weapons to the ground and, according to tradition, knelt on the ground very skillfully in the position of being captured.
And Joshua had no interest in the soldiers, he had more important things to do.
After picking up a spear from the ground and a well-made talisman knife in the distressed eyes of a certain leading captain, Joshua walked straight towards the center of the city.
After a while, when even Joshua's shadow could not be seen, the surrendered soldiers straightened up and sighed with relief.
wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said:
"I almost couldn't breathe."
"Why did you send us to deal with such an enemy......
Similar feelings were endless, and they roughly gathered the corpses of the dead, and in a burst of sorrow, someone wiped the cold sweat on his head and complained: "Didn't it say that the target was only silver mid-level at most?" But no matter how you look at it, the strength is the pinnacle of silver, even if it is gold, it is only one step away! β
"After so many years of being a mercenary, do you dare to believe the above words? If everyone knew that the target was really strong, who would dare to charge at him? A certain veteran seemed to know the trick: "They said that you should at least increase your strength by one level - but this time it is too much, you are about to reach the peak of gold level silver, and you actually say that it is only silver intermediate level?" β
After speaking, he sighed: "Big trouble, he now knows the location of the adult, and he doesn't know if the guards can stop him." β
"It's a hassle."
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the veteran's heart, which made him tremble, and the voice continued: "It seems that it was not stopped at all, it is really miserable. β
With a secret psychic communication, a figure wearing full body armor silently appeared in front of the spearmen, and this person stood in front of the veteran, his face wrapped in armor was invisible: "How did he defeat you?" β
"One blow!" The veteran's reaction was much faster than that of the other people who were already confused, and he recognized that the wandering warrior in front of him was a high-ranking person who could freely enter and leave the lord's mansion, so he didn't hide anything, and said briefly: "One blow is as powerful as a goblin artillery bombardment." β
"Which direction?"
"Lord's Palace, straight line."
At the end of the questioning, the silent one stood still, his body still, his mind racing for thought.
"Look at the traces on the ground, you didn't lie to me." Groaning in his heart, he hesitated a little: "Although I can defeat this group of soldiers, I can't be so neat. β
"Danria didn't say that he was so strong, and he didn't go to the Black Forest fortress to ask for reinforcements, but came directly to the main city, which was completely different from the plan...... However, it won't be long before that lord comes over, and the strength of the silver level is nothing at all. While thinking, the figure of the silent man disappeared in the shadows of the wall, and he decided on a course of action, "I can't let him destroy it, I'll follow and see the situation first." β
Then he vanished, as silent as he had come.
And in the corner of the corner, Elson's chest continued to rise and fall, and he had just reacted because of Joshua's extraordinary combat power, who was stunned.
"The Silencer, one of the strongest mercenaries in the Northlands...... The enemy actually hired him. He muttered to himself, "A mismatched combination of psionic warriors and shadow assassins can advance to Silver High, and if he chooses only one path, with his talent, he will definitely have advanced to gold." β
As he spoke, his gaze became firm: "No, staying here won't help Young Master Joshua, I need to go back as soon as possible, inform the fortress of the news, and let them send troops!" β
After speaking, Elson took a look at the surroundings, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to the city gate, he quickly led his horse and ran out of the city.
At the same time, Joshua was speeding on his way to the Lord's Palace, and there was no obstacle in the empty street, and he thought about something that was obviously unreasonable as he moved quickly.
"It's not the first time I've felt that way - my uncle was a merchant, where did he get the soldiers and knights? There are actually several brigades! β
Frowning, Joshua felt very wrong, the group of spearmen he defeated just now were obviously full-time professional soldiers, with an average level of about level 12, which is not something that ordinary people can raise, even if it is an elite mercenary, it can only be done with the support of someone behind them.
Based on the calculation of the level 1 of the ordinary goblin of the adult, then as a human of the black iron species, the adult male has the strength of level 5, and most people can easily advance to the black iron as long as they exercise their muscles and body coordination a little, and the professional level of the general professional soldiers is around level 10, and it takes a considerable amount of money to train them, even if it is a noble training private soldier, it will not exceed three hundred, and a large number of militiamen will be recruited if they are temporarily needed.
This is true of soldiers alone, not to mention silver knights of rank over 15, and a single suit of armor and weapons is worth a set of property, and according to the merchants on the road, his uncle brought with him a large group of knightsβtwenty or thirty at least, which is enough to eat a poor lord who is not very rich, and it is a pipe dream for a mere merchant to have such a power.
"Probably an outsider helps."
Shaking his head, Joshua didn't bother to care about such details, facing the cold wind, he waved the spear in his hand, the barrel made of solid wood gave him a wonderful sense of ease, and the feeling of the weapon in his hand made the warrior feel extremely relieved: "I will kill as many as I come." β
In order to come as soon as possible, Joshua gave up the armor and big sword he used in the army, and only brought dry food and a little supplies on the road, although his talent and specialty [weapon mastery] is inconspicuous, but it can come in handy at this time, as long as it is a weapon, even if it is snatched, it can be used skillfully, as if it has been running in for many years.
Faintly able to hear the sound of a large group of people running not far away, Joshua's face was indifferent, not in a hurry, he knew that at this time, the opponent's main combat force would go to the south gate of the alarm, and then rush back to the lord's mansion, now, in order to maintain martial law and order in the city, the number of guards in the lord's mansion is definitely not much, this is his chance.
Joshua is confident, as long as there are no more than twenty silver-level guards, he can forcibly kill the cheap uncle and then break through and leave, no matter what, he is a former legendary warrior with a lot of experience, and he is a leader template with a challenge level of up to twenty-nine.
For ordinary people, Joshua is completely a BOSS-level character, challenging level 29, which means that a team of five-person adventurers with an average level of 29 who are extremely skilled and fully armed, has half the chance of defeating him if they plan carefully, and the boss template means greater difficulty, under the same requirements, this team must have at least twenty-five people to knock him over in a head-to-head duel.
In the game, he is certainly a nightmare monster that the average player takes a detour.
The footsteps of the team are getting closer and closer, it is early in the morning, the sun has not fully risen, the road is empty, there is no shelter, as long as they meet, then the other party is not blind and can see him, although Joshua is not afraid of fighting, but he does not want to delay time, with his familiarity with his hometown, he quickly found an alley and turned in.
However, just as Joshua was about to cut a shortcut through several alleys in a row, he suddenly stopped.
for he saw a man.
A familiar person.
