466. in the first place
This time, because it happened so suddenly, the Floating Island reacted a little slower, giving the rebels a perfect chance to assemble. It is precisely because of this that the rebels were able to use scorched earth tactics to the fullest.
According to Egger, they made their way down, and almost all the land plots in their path were swept away.
Everything that could be taken was taken, and what could not be taken was destroyed.
This includes orchards, farms, livestock farms, livestock farms, and more. Other places such as ore yards, quarries and other processing plants have also been largely destroyed. It can be said that just trying to get these factories back up and running is likely to cause the floating island to consume nearly half of its reserves.
But it wasn't that that that Sean really cared about, it was something else that Iger said.
The Floating Island had stored all the cubs and seeds on the land blocks of the lower sequence, and now that they had all been swept away by the rebels' scorched earth tactics, it shook the foundations of the Floating Island. In a way, the floating island was in the midst of an unprecedented and devastating crisis, so it was natural to send a vanguard force to intercept it in order to prevent the damage from expanding.
The troops led by Iger were only one of the five vanguard troops that were dispatched this time.
The large army is still on the other floating islands above, and they have to establish defensive bases on the other floating islands before advancing down, supposedly because there are still remnants of rebels on the other lower floating islands. Moreover, the back and forth of these floating islands are moved by means of a large teleportation magic array device set up in guò - this magic array is different from the magic circles used in the realm today, which are left over from the Dawn Era. As a result, it is even possible to transfer goods directly.
For the Floating Island, lose these magic arrays. It is equivalent to completely losing the control and movement of a floating island, so in order to prevent the destruction of those rebels. The Floating Island has decided to protect all teleportation arrays on the floating land.
Of course, in Sean's opinion, this is completely superfluous.
Because if those rebels wanted to destroy it, they would have destroyed these teleportation arrays long ago, and it was impossible to leave it for the people in the floating chamber to react. However, if there were rebels on other floating lands, then this proves that the 10,000 rebels were not concentrated together, but scattered on different floating islands. In this case, although there are many things that need to be taken into account, the pressure on each region is not very large.
Sean felt that the Floating Council would send so many vanguard troops to the bottom of the Floating Island, and that there would be a large number of troops arriving in the future, and it was not just to deal with these rebels.
Rubbing his chin, Sean's eyes narrowed slightly, and his brain was racing to think about the relevance of these events. The only thing he can be sure of is that the Floating Library must have belonged to a force organization that could be contacted and intervened in the game. That's why these things will happen when he arrives on the floating island. It's just that after living in this world for so many years, Sean has also discovered that the changes in this world are more complex than in the game, full of surprises and unpredictability.
So. What Sean can't be sure of now is that the rebel incident on the Floating Island is still developing according to the historical process in the game. Or is there already a change in between? If it's the former, then Sean has a way to complete the incident smoothly. So as to have contact with the high-level personnel of the floating library, anyway, as long as it is a task, there will inevitably be rules to follow.
And if it's the latter. Then this matter will be much more troublesome, because with the identity and status of Egger and others, the information that can be provided is really limited.
But at this moment, suddenly several students quickly ran over.
Seeing the somewhat flustered appearance of these people, Egg quickly got up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Senior Egger, we seem to have seen Senior Pierres." One of the cadets replied, but his face was slightly strange.
"Pyrus?" Egg frowned, "Isn't his patrol area in the E3 area?" ”
"Senior Pierres...... Looks like you're being hunted down? "It seems that there are only six or seven people left around him, and there are about fifty enemies." ”
"Support!" Iger didn't even think about it, and immediately said in a deep voice.
Soon, Sean saw that the only eight remaining students around Egger directly picked up their weapons and got up to gather after hearing Egg's words, without any trace of delay. Each of them looked very calm, not swayed by the fact that the number of enemies was several times that of them, and certainly not the slightest hesitation or doubt because of Egger's words.
Sean sighed slightly, the military qualities of these people on the Floating Island were too high. If it weren't for the terrain and population constraints, if these people were really formed on a large scale, it would not be difficult to occupy a region in the territory and establish a first-class kingdom.
As if seeing Sean's doubts, Iger said in a deep voice: "I know the strength of Pyrus, although he is not in the top ten of the cadet rankings, but he is not much weaker than me. He was a very proud man, and it was impossible for fifty people to let him escape. If he can be allowed to escape, it can only prove that the opponent's strength is much stronger than him, so he will run away. …… As for rushing to my patrol, I guess it's the closest to me. ”
Sean knew that Iger had misunderstood what he meant, but after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't open his mouth to explain, just nodded his head in understanding.
Seeing that Sean did not object, Egg led the remaining eight students and Sean a total of ten people to quickly rush in the direction of Pyrus's escape.
After a while, everyone soon saw that on a plain, a purple-haired young man was leading six students in the direction of Sean and the others. Because of the difference in the terrain, the purple-haired young man didn't notice Egg and Sean, but just ran quickly - at this point, Sean could see that the purple-haired young man should be relatively well-bodied. There were only two reasons why he didn't run wild.
One is to keep enough body to deal with other unexpected situations that may arise.
Another. It is to take care of his companion and not to abandon his companion.
And behind this purple-haired young man. It was fifty people who were slightly shabby. These people are large and young, and the older ones should not be more than forty years old, but it may be because of the long hours of labor, so these old people look vicissitudes; The younger ones are estimated to be around twenty years old, or even less than twenty years old, but compared to the older ones, these young people exude a very violent and cruel atmosphere.
"Two Sanctuary powerhouses......" Egger's brow furrowed, "There's no reason why Pyrus would run away?" Although there were fifty people on the other side. But there are almost forty people who are only in the silver realm, and the rest of the people around Pyrus now are all golden powerhouses......"
"Three." Sean interrupted Egger's words, and then said in a deep voice, "There is also a person who is very good at hiding his aura, and he should be an assassin...... The other two Sanctuary powerhouses may be in charge of containment, so your companion will not be able to resist. As if sensing Egg's puzzled gaze, Sean coughed lightly, he really couldn't explain that under the energy reconnaissance, these guys on the Floating Island who barely knew how to restrain their leakage momentum were like a lighthouse on the ocean in his eyes. So he could only open his mouth and add: "He accidentally leaked a trace of breath just now, he should have found an opportunity to attack, but I don't know why he gave up." …… I'm very sensitive to changes in my breath. ”
"So at that time. That's why you see through my mix of light and darkness? Iger asked.
Sean replied vaguely, without elaborating. Iger also knew that it was not good to explore other people's secrets, so he didn't say anything more. It was enough for him to have the answer himself.
"What's next?" Iger asked.
"It's good that you attack from the front. As for the sneaky guy, I'll take care of it. Sean whispered. As for the rest, they probably won't be your opponents. Anyway, as long as the two Sacred Domain powerhouses are solved, the rest will not be difficult. ”
"Okay." Iger nodded heavily.
He fought against Sean and was defeated by Sean head-on, so he was well aware of Sean's strength, and he did not object to it.
So he rushed towards Pyrus with his people.
Seeing Egger suddenly appear from the high ground of the plain, the purple-haired young man's expression suddenly lit up, and the excitement almost completely filled his face. And Sean also saw in his eyes a look unique to a militant, which made him a little disliked - not that he didn't like this person's eyes, but this kind of person had a very troublesome characteristic, and they all had a strong interest in the place where a qiē could fight.
In this way, Sean can also be sure that this guy didn't run as hard as he could because he cared about his companions.
At this time, seeing Egger's appearance, the purple-haired young man suddenly roared, causing the other students to speed away, while he himself suddenly stopped and reflexively rushed towards the fifty people. even roared excitedly, not at all like what Iger just said that he couldn't beat the other party, this state was simply because he suspected that his own side had the strength to drag him down.
Sean cursed under his breath, and quickly got up and quickly approached the battlefield.
He'd locked on the assassin-type Sanctuary powerhouse, who was hiding around the purple-haired young man, apparently targeting Egg. I have to say that this tactic is very correct, because judging from the surface combat power, Egger is indeed not as bold and imposing as the purple-haired man, and Egger's perception ability does not seem to be high, because he has not found the lurking Sacred Domain powerhouse at all.
The two sides soon completed their convergence.
As Sean said, the other two Sanctuary powerhouses seem to be indeed good at containment, and as soon as these two join forces, even the purple-haired young man - at this time, Sean can already be sure that this guy is the Pyrus that Iger said. His weapons were two heavy long knives - a very unique weapon, somewhat similar to the ancient Japanese taito, but in a longer, enlarged version, with a slightly thicker blade.
This weapon is almost invisible in the Earth Realm, because it not only requires extremely high strength, but also has certain requirements for agility.
Those who can use this kind of weapon are generally strong people with excellent physical coordination, and they are especially good at weapon combat. It can be said that there is a world of difference between such people with and without weapons - so Shaun was not at all surprised that Pyrus pounced on the enemy group like a tiger descending from a mountain, and killed six people directly with the first touch.
Moreover, these rebels had apparently long understood the combat power of Pyrus.
As soon as Pyrus entered the crowd, two Sanctuary powerhouses immediately intercepted him, while the others quickly bypassed Pyrus and rushed towards Egg and those more ordinary-strength students.
This is the standard one-stop tactic.
If Sean hadn't been there, maybe these guys would have been able to eat the two patrols of Pyrus and Egger in one bite.
But it's a pity that now among them, there is the biggest variable in the world - Sean.
There was a roar of gold and iron clashes.
Sean, who had been on a first-of-a-century basis, suddenly appeared beside Egg, leading the crowd into the crowd, and the black sword in his hand just blocked a taper sword that stabbed Iger in the ribs from a strange angle.
A sloppy dressed young man with a vegetable-looking face showed a little shock on his face when he saw that his invincible sneak attack was actually blocked. However, his reaction was indeed extremely fast, and he immediately retreated after missing the blow, and then blended into the crowd, and what was even more strange was that it was clear that Sean had already stared at his breath, but when he reappeared in his field of vision, he actually changed his appearance.
The young man with a vegetable face directly turned into a middle-aged man with a resolute face.
As for the question of clothing, all the rebels present basically had dirty, messy, and smelly clothes, and none of them were not sloppy.
This wonderful conjugation technique really made Sean a little dumbfounded.
But in the next moment, Sean had already rushed towards the other party with the Black Monarch in his backhand.
"Stop him!" For Sean to be able to block his attack so accurately, this mysterious assassin who could not judge his age at all naturally paid great attention, and when he saw Sean actually chasing after him again, he immediately realized that his identity was exposed, rather than just a coincidence as ordinary people think. (To be continued......)
PS: Something happened at home recently...... Why do I always feel like I've said it before? Well, anyway, it's just that I've been entangled in a lot of things recently, and the guide is a little distracted, and there are many unexpected situations, so sometimes the update is late or broken, and I ask for your understanding. It's true...... Really, I'm so sorry.
