Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 194 The Last Samurai
The Frost Maple Ridge Grenadiers at the top of the Green Dam Wall had actually been upset with Sirius for a long time.

So, following the command of the lord, the brothers of Shuangfengling on the top of the green dam wall immediately shook off their arms and threw countless stone bullets towards Sirius. The power and power even shocked Xia Houyan himself.

The swordsman of Yanxi City raised his face slightly, looked at the overwhelming stone projectiles, and let out an inaudible sigh;

Then with a clang, the long sword was unsheathed.

Following the old etiquette of the empire's nobles, Sirius, who took off his full body armor and only wore civilian clothes before the duel, strode up against the sky full of stone bullets, and danced his sword blade into a whirlwind in front of him;
Then, the jingling sound of the stone bullets hitting the metal blade resounded like dense raindrops on the blood-stained yellow ground.

There was a legend in Haiwen Continent that in the "Battle of the Doomsday", there was a human race's top swordsman who danced his sword as a shield, rushed into the demon camp against countless arrows, and beheaded the general and mowed the flag;
Legends are legends after all, but Sirius, the swordsman of Rock Creek City, really staged a peerless show of climbing the city with a single sword and a single sword on the land of cracking souls filled with gunpowder!

After all, stone bullets are just stone bullets, and the recruits from Shuangfengling are not very skilled in using slings;

Except for a large number of stone bullets that were missed, almost all the stone bullets that were close to Sirius' body were quickly knocked away by him with the thin sword in his hand;

One step, one step, another step;
The swordsman dressed in civilian clothes, under the cover of his beloved long sword, slowly approached the green dam against the heavy rain of stone bullets.

It wasn't until this moment that the high-level officials of Shuangfengling saw something strange.

"Damn..." Xia Houyan supported the wall and gritted his teeth, "What the hell is this guy holding in his hand? He is so resistant to beating?"

Master Laurie and Chris on the side were equally confused.

At first, they all thought that what Sirius was holding was an ordinary long sword - the extraordinarily slender blade indeed showed an ordinary metallic luster, and it looked like it was made of fine steel;
But is there any "ordinary long sword" that can go head-to-head with flying stone bullets hundreds of times without breaking, and doesn't even have a gap in the edge?

It is one thing that Sirius's eyesight and swordsmanship are extraordinary, but there is indeed something wrong with this inconspicuous long sword!

Fortunately, Phoenix TV still has a professional person present.

Just now, Master Nicholson, who had just climbed up to the top of the green dam and was about to report the progress to the lord, squinted his dim eyes for a long time before he suddenly opened his mouth and spoke clearly. Mystery:
"It's 'Tarantino Mild Steel'!"

This strange name made the lord look around in a daze.

"Magic metal?" Master Laurie narrowed his eyes.

"Magic metal." Master Nicholson grinned with the arrogance and conceit of a professional old pedant, "And you may not believe it, but it's elven magic metal!"

The crowd was stunned.

No one knows, but the only words in the world that are farther apart than the words "elf" and "metal" are "imperial noble" and "integrity and benevolence";

The great elf empire thousands of years ago, even because of the extremely backward mining and casting technology, led to the collapse of logistics supply, it was overthrown by the rebels of various races from the edge of the continent, using emerging metal equipment——

——The traditional magical plant materials of the elves are of good quality, but the output is extremely limited, and they are destined to be unable to provide enough munitions to suppress an epic revolution sweeping the continent.

Therefore, the "elven magic metal" that Master Nicholson said made everyone feel that there was a major error in their historical cognition.

"An Jie, bring some glasses of cold water!" Xia Houyan turned his head and shouted towards the camp, "Look how hot Mr. Nicholson is!"

"My lord!" Master Nicholson said angrily, "I'm not sick, and I'm not joking! 'Tarantino Mild Steel' was developed by the elves on the eve of the collapse of the elf empire to save the crisis!"

Even amidst the sound of swishing and throwing stones all over the sky, everyone's unanimous "Huh?" was very harsh.

"I read from an ancient alchemist's notebook that at the end of the 'Battle of Freedom', the elf craftsmen whose plant resources were nearly exhausted finally abandoned their traditions and studied metal manufacturing like the 'inferior races'." Nick Master Ersen quickly said, "Although these last group of elf craftsmen did not develop a serious metal mining and smelting process, they succeeded in extracting a special magic metal 'Tarantino Mild Steel' from magic plants, which is even more It is still decades before the human being who first studied magical metals—"Steel Ancestor" Stilt!"

"Damn!" This bomb-like historical truth made Master Laurie dumbfounded, "Then why has no one on the mainland heard of this?"

"Because the elf empire perished too quickly!" Master Nicholson said in a low voice, "In fact, the empire only found the 'Tarantino Mild Steel' and the elves when excavating an elf relic 40 years ago." The manuscripts of the artisans...Because of the special properties of this magical metal, the imperial officials have kept this matter a secret, using 'Tarantino Mild Steel' to make certain top-secret weapons..."

Xia Houyan raised his eyebrows: "For example, the Dragon Hunting Ballista?"

Master Nicholson chuckled:
"This kind of magic metal is extremely elastic and tough, and has a strong affinity for magic, especially wind magic. It is most suitable for providing kinetic energy for long-range weapons-if you don't have this thing, you need to create something that can pierce dragons. The ballista with scale armor is really a bit difficult..."

After hearing this, everyone thought about it, but they all looked at Sirius at the bottom of the city in unison.

At this time, Sirius had already rushed several steps on the ground against the rain of stone bullets, but as the stone slingers at the top of the city gradually mastered the skill of hitting a single target, the coverage density suddenly increased, and the ground on Sirius' legs Accidentally got hit by a bullet, so the swordsman of Yanxi City could only grit his teeth and dance his sword to stay where he was, no matter how hard he was to make an inch.

Therefore, Xia Houyan and his party on the wall finally saw the details of Sirius hitting the stone with his sword——

It turned out that the blade of the rapier had never been in direct contact with the stone bullets from Shuangfengling:
Whenever a stone bullet flies and is about to collide with the blade, the inconspicuous, plain-colored "Tarantino Mild Steel" will create a circle of undetectable ripples in the air, knocking the stone bullet to the ground. Knocked down.

This unique effect caused Xia Houyan and Master Laurie to look at each other with a tacit understanding.

"Wind Protection!" The two magicians, one old and one young, shouted in unison.

"That's right!" Master Nicholson said triumphantly like a comedian who has successfully shaken off his burden, "According to my judgment, this swordsman's Tarantino soft steel sword must be engraved with the inscription of you from the keel. The 'Wind Protection' rune found in Fengzang's treasury, it is precisely this rune that he was able to shoot down the stone bullet!"

"That's not right!" Chris said in confusion, "Master Nicholson, didn't you experiment with those rune boards before you used them to make Kill You 3000? Amulet, can’t it only be triggered once? Then what Sirius, why can he keep using the protection of wind to shoot down stone bullets?”

The first one to answer was not Master Nicholson, but Master Laurie, who had a deep knowledge of magic.

The master looked at Nicholson with sharp eyes:

"Is it because of 'Tarantino Mild Steel'?"

Nicholson glanced at Sirius who was fighting fiercely below the city, nodded slightly and said:
"Exactly. The effect of a magic rune depends greatly on the magical performance of its carrier. The protection of the wind engraved on the iron-wood board can only pour out all the stored magic power at once; but 'Tarantino Mild Steel ’, but it is a special metal with a natural ability to store magic—I speculate that the protection of the wind engraved on Tarantino’s mild steel can be stimulated repeatedly according to a moderate amount of magic power until the energy stored in the blade is exhausted. until all the magic power!"

Xia Houyan looked at Sirius' sword, and suddenly became greedy.

To put it bluntly, the "Protection of the Wind" engraved on the elven board is like a reservoir that can only be opened once to release the flood. Regardless of the color of the enemy, once activated, the inventory will be emptied instantly. Afterwards, you can only wait for the rain to trickle down. slow replenishment;

And the swan swan song "Tarantino Mild Steel" of the elf craftsman is like a smart battery, which can precisely control the output power of "Wind Protection" to achieve the effect of fine water and long-lasting battery life!

"So..." Chris squeezed his chin thoughtfully, "Isn't the Tarantino mild steel sword in Sirius's hand also depleted of magic power?"

A prophecy.

Below the green dam, the crisp sound of Sirius moving his long sword and bouncing stone bullets has not stopped since just now;
But just before Chris finished speaking, a strange voice suddenly came from the city:

This time, when the sword blade of the warrior in Rock Creek City collided with the stone bullet, the magic ripples did not appear in the air before, and the sound was no longer ethereal and crisp, but became dull, with a palpitating tear sense--

The stone bullet hit the blade of the long sword directly.

There was no air flow, no bounce, the sharp stone bullet shot by the Frost Maple Ridge pitcher just made a small hole in the sword of "Tarantino Mild Steel", and then fell to the ground——

——The magic reserve of "Wind Protection" is finally exhausted!
In an instant, there were a few more muffled metal sounds, and the long sword in Sirius' hand had been folded into a curved ruler:
The eagle-like eyesight and cheetah-like swiftness of Sirius are still there, and this swordsman from Rock Creek City can still hit every air strike bomb with astonishing accuracy;
It's a pity that Tarantino's soft steel sword, which has lost its magic power, can no longer stand up to the hard stone bullet.

After Sirius' long sword was continuously attacked and deformed violently, it could no longer stop the stone bullets flying rapidly in all directions. Amidst the painful groan, Sirius' shoulders and arms were cut in two by the edge of the stone bullets. A bloody gap.

While talking to the lord and Master Nicholson, Master Laurie was holding a magic shield scroll in his hand, just in case;

Seeing that Sirius was injured and obviously unable to fight anymore, the master lowered his hands holding the scroll;

But it was precisely at this moment that a sudden change occurred!

Sirius laughed loudly, put down the long sword, then bent down and stretched out his hand to wipe it, and pulled out a dagger that was hidden deeply from his boots. The edge of the mouth was violently torn open with teeth.

"It's a magic scroll!" Chris roared, and shot the sharp arrow in his hand at Sirius——

But it was too late.

The grinning Sirius had already advanced to a position close enough to the Green Dam under the protection of Tarantino's mild steel sword;
Under the support of a strong wind of magic, Sirius, the swordsman of Rock Creek City, received the attack of countless stone bullets with his body, soared into the air covered in blood, and rushed towards the Lord of Frost Maple Ridge on the top of the wall;

In the hands of Sirius, the blade of the dagger shone with a faint blue light of death——

That is the unique color of deadly poison!
Sirius, who talked about "death with honor", never had any intention of a fair duel;

Lowering the enemy's vigilance, and then using the magic scroll of "Wind Flying Technique" and his own poisoned dagger to treat him in his own way, and to decapitate Shuangfengling, is his wolfish ambition!
Just at this time, Clement was seriously injured and left the field. Except for magicians, archers, and craftsmen, there was really no peerless martial arts master who could stop Sirius' life-threatening raid——

——If Alice Comstock, who led the team to kill the catapult just now, has not rushed back to Frost Maple Ridge at this time.

Dramatically, Sirius just asked the lord to send him "the strongest warrior under his command";
And as if he had made his own arrangements, he really had a one-on-one match with Shuangfengling's martial arts director at the last moment of his life.

The female swordsman who had just boarded the Green Dam, the magic sword "Light of the Sky" from her waist almost came out at will. Shua Shua Shua Three Swords cut off two arms and one leg of the warrior in Rock Creek City, and then nailed the blood-stained stick to the top of the green dam wall with a bang.

It wasn't until the sound died down and everyone came back to their senses that Sirius, who was hanging on the wall, spat out a stream of blood from his mouth.

Master Nicholson looked at the lord next to him in surprise and admiration:
In the face of Sirius' thunderous and lightning-like deadly raid, the young lord not only stood proudly on the wall without moving his head, but also maintained a cold expression like a frost dragon on his face. His psychological quality was so strong that Nicholson The master remembered Grand Duke Rosario of the Imperial Army!

——Of course the old master doesn't know, the reason why the senior official Xiahou is motionless is that he simply couldn't react and was frightened stupid.

While everyone was still in shock, Master Laurie took two steps forward and sternly shouted at the dying Sirius:

"Tell me! How did you get this sword?! Where did 'Tarantino Mild Steel' come from?!' Who inscribed the 'Wind Protection' rune?!"

Sirius, who had turned into a hawthorn popsicle, looked down at the "light of the sky" penetrating his chest, then raised his head tremblingly, his cloudy eyes passed Master Laurie who was eagerly asking questions, and looked at the other The young lord in the distance.

Then, with his lips parted slightly, he murmured with his last breath:
"I...lost...but...'we'...won...time...enough...the tide is coming..."

"What?" Xia Houyan asked sharply.

Then, darkness crept from behind everyone, from the westernmost end of Frost Maple Ridge.
