97. Demons
"Martin!" Mario looked at Martin, who died due to Sean's sneak attack, with a stunned expression on his face.
He didn't expect that Martin would actually die!
Even though he had been suppressed by Alfred in the previous fight, Mario was still full of confidence in Martin. For this young man who was adopted by himself, Mario, who has no children under his knees, really treats him as his own son. But now, just watching Martin die tragically in front of him, Mario seemed to be ten years old at this moment, and the whole person seemed a little depressed and disheartened.
At this point, Mario's left arm and right arm have finally been completely removed!
As if stimulated by Martin's death, the Black Cavalry Guards suddenly burst into stronger combat strength, and they forcibly fought back regardless of their own injuries, but the garrison of Tindesburg suffered heavy casualties in this encounter, and only a few dozen people survived. And now, all the tactics and stratagems have become a joke, and the Tindesburg garrison, who have finally come to their senses and realized the crisis, no longer have the courage to attack the Black Knights.
The fear and uneasiness in their hearts had caused them to retreat constantly, as if only in this way could they feel a sense of warmth and security.
Cecilia sighed, being able to exert the combat power of the recruits to this extent, she was already the limit, and it could even be said that it was a super-level performance. Moreover, at this time, there were only two military commanders left in the more than ten Tindesberg garrisons, and the significance of the military flag command was no longer great.
The so-called military commander is the front-line herald who is responsible for observing the flag bearer during the battle. Each team is formed around the core of the commander, they are the lower commanders in the army, the captain or vice-captain of a team, and if they die, then a team is not just a demoralization drop, and may even fall into chaos.
Fortunately, although the garrison of Tindesburg had only received a month of training, it was because of many veterans. Plus they were in charge of guarding a fortress. After all, there are many places that the castle needs to defend and operate fortifications, so almost one-third of the nearly two hundred recruits are military commanders, and almost every military commander can lead two recruits, so Cecilia's command work is particularly simple.
Of course, after this battle, Cecilia's biggest impression was that there were no ranged units in the army. But there's no way around it. Because even the lowest-level archer in the ranged arms needs to go through at least three months of training to barely qualify, but if you want to really become a soldier who can fight, you still need to go through real battlefield battles, otherwise you will never be a qualified army.
But all this fell into Sean's eyes. The so-called accident has become inevitable.
The army was also a very important concept in "Miracle" at the beginning. Based on the five factors of training, equipment quality, belief belonging, war expertise, and army superiority, the army can be divided into eleven levels from second to strongest, the weakest is the zero level of recruits, and the strongest is naturally the tenth level.
The garrison of Tyndsburg, if it is a pure recruit, will always be a level zero army until it has experienced a real war. But because of the small size of the team. In addition, there are veterans who support their proficiency, so it can barely be regarded as a quasi-first-class army; And the Black Knights. Although it has a good name and is Count Mario's personal guard, it is actually only a quasi-second-level army, not even a real second-level army, and a large part of it is barely able to become a quasi-second-level army because of its excellent equipment.
As for the third-level army, it needs to have at least one of the three capabilities: war expertise, faith belonging, and military superiority. For example, the archer unit has mastered the war specialty of accurate shooting or positioning projectile, or the army from the temple has a firm belief in the temple, the mountain army has the war advantage in the mountainous terrain, etc., only the army with these can be upgraded to a third-level army.
It is not impossible for a war between a quasi-first-class army and a quasi-second-class army to eat a quasi-second-class army with heavy losses in the case of not only numerical superiority, but also excellent commanders. That's why Sean was surprised at the beginning, not shocked, because he had seen a lot of this kind of thing in the game, and it was not impossible for even the second-level army to annihilate the third-level army.
The battle has been fought so far, and there is no suspense left.
Even if there were sixteen or seventeen Black Knights left, in the eyes of Sean and Alfred, there was no difference between having and not having them. Not to mention Sean, even Alfred can completely kill Mario by riding alone.
"Lord Mario, please surrender." Sean stood with his sword in hand, and at this moment, it seemed that Sean looked more like the lord of the Tinders Lord.
Mario glared at Sean angrily, his eyes full of bitter hatred, and said in a cold voice, "You are Sean?" ”
Sean was silent, but his attitude actually said it all. If you don't have to fight anymore, this is naturally the best ending, because Sean has completely understood that the subordinates cultivated by the earl are definitely dead soldiers, as long as they are given enough time to grow, the future will be at least level four or even level five with military souls.
In any kingdom, a fourth-tier army is already at the level of a standard elite army, and a fifth-level army is even at the level of an ace army.
Will Durune be able to harness a group of soldiers who have the potential to become an ace army?
Sean might as well count on a miracle in this world, and then the old Marquis Perrault will be resurrected in place the next day with full blood.
"Your Excellency, please leave quickly!" Seeing that Count Mario was also silent, the Black Cavalry Guards gathered their formation, and everyone's face showed a solemn look of death, which was the last thing Sean wanted to see, "We are here for your Royal Highness!" If nothing else, you can still do it in three minutes! ”
Sean started to have headaches.
He glanced at Durune, and at this moment Durune's eyes seemed to be a little calmer, no longer the crazy and disgusting look he had before. Although it is known that Du Ruan has lost the sanity of a nobleman because of the fear in his heart, his hatred of Mario, and the betrayal of his relatives, Sean still has no way to forgive him, because if he were not so paranoid and crazy, this dispute could even be controlled at the level of a local battle, instead of the scale and extent that it has reached the level of war as it is now.
"Uncle, surrender." Durune's face was swollen. A person who looks embarrassed comes out of the crowd. "You've already lost ......"
"Lose?" Mario interrupted Du Run's words and sneered, and there was a sudden taste of madness in his eyes full of hatred and anger.
When he saw Mario's eyes, Sean's heart suddenly "chuckled", and his intuition told him that something unexpected was likely to happen next. And the accident can be very dangerous. Because of this look, Sean had seen it in Durune's eyes not long ago, and at that time he was simply a psychotic with a disgusting madness all over his body.
"Could it be that the essence of the Royce family's bloodline is all flowing with crazy genes?" Sean didn't come and felt a chill, and only by clenching the Charles Saber in his hand could Sean barely feel the warmth from confidence.
"Who knows?" Alfred for Sean's words. Just shrugged his shoulders, he could also feel the subtle changes in the atmosphere on the battlefield, but he was not as sensitive as Sean, thinking that there would be any more dangerous situations. Because the facts have been made clear, Count Mario has already lost, and even his Black Knights will never be able to delay him and Sean for three minutes together.
"Tindes is in your father's hands, and it has fallen." The look of madness on Mario's face was even more obvious, "I'm really ashamed of the Royce family." It's your father. Not me! Look at your father's deeds, Tindes is in his hands. From what used to be known as Gleeson's most powerful territory to a dilapidated territory that everyone can bully now, how many treaties your father has signed in the past ten years that are simply insulting to the Royce family! ”
Du Ruen's face turned red: "That's because the ore veins in the territory have been exhausted, and there are no more materials to produce in our territory......"
"Don't you think it's ridiculous that a family that is famous for relying on its strong military power wants to transform into a family that deals in business and trade?" Mario sneered, his face full of disdain, "Even if your father really wants to transform the Royce family, but what about you?" Have you been able to carry on your father's tradition? What have you done in the past 10 years? Determined to be an adventurer? Or a pioneer? ”
Du Ruan gritted his teeth, but he couldn't say anything: "I don't have the luxury of becoming a lord, I can give you the position of lord, we are a family!" But ......"
"But?" Mario sneered, the mockery on his face even stronger, "But your father wouldn't do that!" Why do you think I'm going to hook up with the Medusa Chamber of Commerce? Who do you think your father has been doing all these years of business with? Where do you think that dragon poison came from? …… Yes, I'll admit I'm ambitious, but I'm also much more capable than you! It is because your father, my good brother, saw my ambition and ability that he wanted to kill me and pave the way for your future. ”
At this point, Mario has completely fallen into madness: "But it's a pity. …… The Medusa Chamber of Commerce ultimately chose to work with me instead of your father. So, naturally, the fire dragon poison was used on your father's body. …… Hehe, what a good rumor it is to the outside world, your father is a nostalgic person, so give me Royce Manor so that I won't wander the country...... Ha Lu Ha, Ha Lu Ha It's all because your father knows about my talents, and he doesn't want to see me become a staff member of other lords! ”
"How did I, who was an uncle, expose your father's sinister face, do you feel disillusioned? Oh, the benevolent old Marquis Perrault is such a sinister and cunning man that he does not spare even his own own brother...... Do you really think your father is talented? How can the territory be so smooth sailing under his rule? It's all my credit! It's mine! ”
Mario's words are starting to be a little incoherent. But Sean, Cecilia, and Alfred heard it very clearly, it turned out that the governance of the entire Tindes Domain, all of which had nothing to do with the old Marquis Perrault, so that Shawn could understand that Mario's subordinates would be so loyal to him, and it was also understandable that in the game, Mario took over the Tindes Territory as the leader of the Tendes Domain, what would be so smooth.
Even, he understood that the city lords of Arthur City and Anrola City did not send the tax money to Durune. So much so that he did not have enough funds at all to procure equipment. can only rely on Harley, the merchant leader, to sneakily buy and give away.
"Do you know the truth?" Mario, who fell into a frenzy, laughed and screamed for a long time before finally calming down, he stared at Durun, "The moment your father fell, I actually cried. …… It's not sad crying, it's happy crying. Glad to be glad to be happy! Be tickled pink! ”
Sean can now be sure that the bloodline nature of the Royce family, if not the bloodline of demons and demons, is definitely related to these two creatures.
"We can't live." Mario sighed suddenly.
"Your Excellency......" The Black Cavalry Guards were all shocked.
"Surrender your lives to me." Mario suddenly said again, this moment. Sean shuddered suddenly.
"Your Excellency, please take it!"
"Good. …… But don't worry, I'll be on my way with you. ”
With that, Mario suddenly pulled out a dark red gem from his pocket. This gemstone is diamond-shaped and reddish overall, but the color is not pure, with a lot of black impurities, so it looks dark red. This gemstone has several crack marks on it. There was a subtle black mist in the cracks. But it doesn't dissipate, which makes these black mist look like they have souls.
Sean when he saw this dark red gem. Suddenly, he let out an extremely frightened scream, and then rushed towards Mario as soon as possible: "Hurry! Stop him! That's the Demon Stone! ”
Although Alfred didn't know what the Demon Stone was, he knew that the thing that could make Sean so frightened was definitely not an ordinary thing, so he rushed forward only a beat slower than Sean. The third person followed by Du Ruan, although his face was swollen into a pig's head, he was also a knight after all, and now he had an absolutely sensitive reaction to the word "demon".
But all of this seems to be a little late, because the distance between the three of them and Mario is too far.
I saw Mario suddenly thrust this gem into his heart, directly sinking into most of it, and then the mist in the gem and the red energy like a source of magic began to be injected into Mario's body. In the next second, Mario raised his hair and let out a whistling, and the gem inserted in his chest also exploded into powder, and dozens of tentacle-like magic bars emanated from Mario's chest, wrapped around the nearest Black Knight, and sucked these people into human stems at an extremely fast speed, as if their life energy was devoured by Mario.
In the next instant, the mana bar retracted into Mario's body, and an extremely dark wave of mana spread out three hundred and sixty degrees around him. Immediately afterward, the roaring and violent air flow exploded out, sweeping everything around like a tornado, under the sweep of the air current, the ground collapsed inch by inch, countless cracks spread all over the ground in the barracks area, and fine sand and stones were like bullets in this one, shooting out frantically all around.
The two recruits were caught off guard and were shot into a hornet's nest on the spot.
And Sean, Alfred, and Durune, although they were not killed by these bullets, but under the impact of this air flow that was almost as powerful as an enchantment, they flew out upside down at a faster speed than when they charged, and then fell heavily to the ground.
Straight in the center, Mario fell to his knees, his body arched. But if you look closely, you can see that Mario's body is getting bigger, and the quality of the clothes on his body is not bad, because it hasn't been broken yet, but it's only a matter of time.
"Phew!"
With a slight sound, a crack finally cracked on the back of Mario's clothes, but what was exposed to the air was not the light yellow skin of a human, but red! As the sound of his clothes being torn became more and more intense, Mario's clothes and pants were finally completely torn, and what was exposed to the air was demon-like skin, and there were even fine scales on it.
The only thing that can still be recognized is that this "demon" still retains some of Mario's facial contours at this time, but it is a doubled head, and the complexion is much more hideous and murderous. Even at the ends of the skull, which was close to the temples, there were two sharp horns about an inch long, and although they did not have tails, they were much more hideous and terrifying than those of a demon with a tail.
At this moment, Mario has completely turned into a demon! (To be continued.) )
PS: I only slept for about five hours before I got up...... This chapter has been written a little longer, but I am still satisfied with the content, because I finally have a more detailed explanation of some things. Originally, there were more than 5,200 words, but it was slightly modified, eliminating unnecessary cumbersome content, and compressing the number of words to less than 5,000 words, how about it? Am I funny enough?
I love seeing the lively book review section, whether it's praise or criticism, at least I know that you're really serious about reading my book, and that makes me happy. To be honest, I'm just a dead house, and a lot of things are actually just things that I take for granted, and I can say that I am a little lacking in some common sense and experience, so your valuable advice is very important to me. In response to the content of these book reviews, I can constantly change myself, keep the good things in the future, and reduce unnecessary mistakes as much as possible. So, I appreciate your book review comments!
At the end of the day, if I say that this chapter is equivalent to two chapters, will I be beaten?
