From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 154 Death Threat【4K】

The bright moon is slowly falling, and the cold light is sprinkled on this wilderness, like a layer of salt.The soldiers lit the torches, under the light of the fire not only dispelled the darkness and cold, but also exposed the bloody battlefield to everyone's eyes.

Liszt's face was full of excitement, and he walked around the battlefield with his guards. When he saw an orc who was still alive, he went up to make up for it. In theory, these orcs are good labor, but unfortunately, they are too dangerous.

Allen directed the soldiers to clean up the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and calculate the casualties.This battle ended quickly because of the enemy's arrogance and Ryan's secret weapon, and the casualties on Ryan's side were not too great.

But generally speaking, this time it was a loss-making business, and the seizure was far worse than last time. Although the statistics have not yet come out, they already knew the result in their hearts.

"Master Deputy Legion Commander, this guy is still alive!" A soldier cleaning the battlefield suddenly screamed, pulling his neck, and the surrounding soldiers all held weapons and surrounded him with vigilant faces.

Ryan and Alan walked over to take a look, and found that it was the orc chief Gomorro who was shot off half of his body by the arrow of the thousand machine crossbow. He was lucky that the damage from the arrow explosion did not affect his heart, so he There is still room for rescue.

On the contrary, he is also very unfortunate, because he is about to become the only prisoner in this battle.

"Shhh"

Ryan pulled out his saber suddenly, and under the flickering light of the saber, all the tendons of the opponent's arms and legs were cut off. After all, he is a high-ranking orc warrior, so it's better to be cautious.

"I will do everything I can to keep him alive." I have been in this world for several years, but I don't know much about the orcs, the mortal enemy of human beings, so this is also an opportunity.

Language barrier is not a problem, who let himself have a sister who is an invincible translator in the universe?
"It's really surprising. I actually defeated these disgusting green skins in the field. What did you use just now? I felt the breath of magic." Xiyue came to Ryan, and she didn't know when she took off her pocket Hat, golden hair shining crystal light in the moonlight.

"This is called the Thousand Machine Crossbow. It is related to the information brought out from the ruins last time. The whole body is made of refined metal, and a part of Mithril is mixed in it.

Each arrow is specially made, and the magic power of a magic crystal is required to launch one. It is expensive, but it is worth it. "

Ryan raised the Thousand Opportunity Crossbow in his hand and said with a smile, some of his words were concealed, but overall he did not lie.

The elf raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "A single magic crystal can seriously injure a high-level orc warrior. This is low investment and high return. You can go for fun."

"You're wrong. This time, he was able to achieve success with one blow. To a large extent, Gomorro underestimated the enemy. He didn't take precautions beforehand, and he took the lead in the high-speed sprint.

Such a short distance gave him very little reaction time, so he was severely injured. If it was replaced by a magician, the result would be hard to say. "

Ryan shook his head to express his disapproval. The power of the Thousand Machine Crossbow is indeed powerful, but it does not mean that this kind of result can be achieved every time. As long as there is precaution, the threat will drop several levels.

If it is used in frontal large army battles, the current quantity problem is flawed, and it can only be used to snipe at enemy leaders and make great achievements with sneak attacks.

As far as the one in Ryan's hand is concerned, the cost is as high as dozens of Kindlers, and this is only the cost. Every rune arrow needs to be handcrafted by Liman, and the cost is not low, and it is a one-off.

In contrast, the magic crystal is a small expenditure. There is no way, energy production is willful.

"That's really powerful." Xiyue shrugged. She is not an ignorant bumpkin, so she can naturally understand the horror of this weapon.

She gradually realized that she couldn't understand this guy anymore, not to mention the explosive weapon, but now that he has this, no one knows how many things he has hidden.

After cleaning the battlefield, the heads of the orcs were cut off as trophies, and all the rest were burned clean.

The soldiers who died on the Kanna side were restrained, and they will be transported back to Kanna to let their families meet for the last time. Then they will be cremated and sent to the Cemetery of Heroes to enjoy worship and offerings.

Traveling at night is a very unwise choice, so they simply cut down wood on the spot and set up a bonfire, planning to deal with it in the wild for one night.

It was night, except for the soldiers who were in charge of vigilance and watching over the bonfire, the soldiers who had fought fiercely for several hours fell asleep. The pungent bloody smell had already been taken away by the howling cold wind, but it did not affect them.

Ryan, Allen and others sat around the bonfire to keep warm. With the orange light of the fire, Allen began to report the seizure and casualties in a low voice.

"In this battle, 55 orcs were annihilated, a chieftain was captured, a flag was harvested, and more than [-] sets of damaged armor were captured, but most of them were seriously damaged.

Twelve wargs have been captured, but they are all tamed mounts. It is difficult for us to take them back for our own use. We can only keep them to see if they can reproduce.

The confiscated gold and silver treasures are initially estimated to be worth more than [-] Jindel..."

Listening, Ryan felt something was wrong, and couldn't help saying: "There are no human captives. I can think that this group of animals is bloodthirsty, but why didn't they seize food? Don't they even eat?"

Allen's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said through gritted teeth: "These animals carry mutilated people, and they didn't search for a grain of grain at all!"

The scene was silent for a while, Liszt punched the ground angrily, and cursed: "What a bunch of beasts, I really want to kill them all!"

"Hey..." Ryan sighed, and continued: "Let's talk about our casualties."

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Allen said with some distress: "This time we killed 320 people, more than 200 people were seriously injured, and more than [-] people were slightly injured.

Among them, the heavy armor team and the large shield team suffered the most serious losses. The heavy armor team almost lost their establishment, and two commanders of the junior knight rank were killed in battle. "

Ryan's heart twitched suddenly. Compared with the last time, the number of casualties was already very good, but it still exceeded his expectations.

Those who lost were still elite, and every single heavy armored soldier was singled out with more than one enemy. This time they resisted the attack of the orcs head-on, and almost lost them all, which made him heartbroken.

This time the strength of the orcs is far inferior to last time, they don't even have any shamans accompanying the army, but this time my troops are twice as strong as the enemy's, and they are well equipped and well trained. Huge casualties, it can only be said that the first soldier in the mainland deserved its name.

"Always have to face this step. They will experience more cruel wars in the future. Living in such a turbulent age, no one can be alone."

Ryan stood up, and the icy wind hit his face, which made his mind extremely clear, and this was just the beginning.

Stretching out his hand to stop everyone who wanted to follow, Ryan walked towards the dark battlefield alone, the soul-devouring ring on his wrist emitting a faint light.

Ryan looked down at it, thoughtful. He had sensed the abnormality of the ring in the previous battle, so he didn't want to be distracted, so he ignored it.

Just now, that feeling became extremely obvious. In his perception, there was an invisible energy gathering from all directions and being swallowed by the ring.

"Could this be the soul power of the fallen soldiers?" Ryan walked slowly on the empty and lonely battlefield, already understanding the source of these energies in his heart.

He could clearly feel a power in the ring slowly being awakened, but it wasn't threatening yet.

"I don't know if this change is good or bad." Ryan muttered a few words, seeing that he had almost absorbed it, and he was far away from the campsite. He was about to turn around and go back, but suddenly there was a sudden change!

"Buzzing..."

The space in front of Ryan suddenly fluctuated strangely, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Ryan's expression froze, and he withdrew immediately, reinstalled the magic crystal and arrows on the Thousand Machine Crossbow as quickly as possible, and watched vigilantly.

A silhouette of a human figure emerged, and then quickly became clear, and soon a tall figure wearing a purple magician's robe appeared in front of Ryan, exuding tyrannical magic fluctuations all over his body.

"Who are you!" Ryan asked calmly.

"You can call me Mei Lan." A high-cold female voice came from under the hood, calm and steady, not paying any attention to the Thousand Chance Crossbow in Ryan's hand.

"Your Excellency, what is the purpose of coming here late at night?"

Hearing this, Mei Lan raised her drooping head, revealing the indifferent face under the hood. The cold moonlight reflected on her suet-like cheeks, setting her off like a fairy under the moon.

It's just that Ryan is not in the slightest mood at the moment, and the aura emanating from the other party makes his hair stand on end. At this moment, he only has one thought in his mind: "Invincible."

"I only have one question. Where did the thing in your hand and the explosive weapon come from? Have you entered the ruins in the Warcraft Mountains?"

Mei Lan's voice poured into Ryan's ears like a cold wind, making him feel a chill directly penetrated to the tailbone. The other party came prepared, and he didn't know how long he had been observing him.

He forced a smile and shrugged: "Your Excellency, these are three questions?"

Originally, he was just planning to procrastinate for a while, but he didn't expect the other party to nod his head seriously, and said again: "Then there are three questions."

Ryan: "..."

"You seem to know me very well." Ryan moved back without a trace while looking for a topic.

Mei Lan squinted at him, revealing the magic wand hidden under the robe and said, "I advise you to answer my question carefully, I will not do anything to you."

"Uh...hehehe, I'd be happy to answer your question." Ryan put down the thousand machine crossbow in his hand and made a compromise. A powerful transcendent, let him not have the slightest desire to resist.

"I can answer these few questions. The two weapons you mentioned have nothing to do with the ruins. Since you know the ruins, you have tried to go in, so I don't need to tell you the final result, right?"

There was a strange light in Ryan's eyes. He remembered that there was indeed a master who tried to enter the ruins, but was repelled by the guards. Now it seems that it is probably the woman in front of him.

Sure enough, Mei Lan frowned subconsciously. She was actually not sure whether Ryan had entered the ruins, after all, the guards were too strong.

"You said it has nothing to do with the ruins, so how did they come about? As far as I know, there has never been any record of these two weapons."

Mei Lan raised her eyebrows, and the aura emanating from her body became more and more dangerous.

A drop of cold sweat slipped quietly from Ryan's temples. It seems that the opponent's real goal is not the relics, but crystal bombs and thousand machine crossbows!

"Your Excellency, do you need my help? As long as it is within my ability, I will not refuse you, because it is not a gentleman."

Ryan was anxious to follow the ants on the hot pot, but he didn't show it on the surface, and continued to use the word "drag" to act.

"Hehe, at present, you can't help me. What I want to plot is not something that a little baron like you can participate in.

Although these two things are good, they are not threatening to me, and naturally they don't help me much. I need more powerful weapons. Can you help me? "

A bit of disdain appeared on Mei Lan's face, it seemed that she really looked down on her.

Ryan rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Since your Excellency thinks these two things are good, it seems that there are indeed some merits. But... what if I tell you that these are just ordinary things?"

Mei Lan's eyes suddenly burst into a gleam, and she said coldly, "Is what you said true?"

Ryan grinned, and said confidently: "I swear by the glory of my family, of course what I said is true, as long as I am given enough time, I will not be afraid even of legendary powerhouses."

"Hehe, so I wanted to play sloppy with me." Mei Lan felt a kind of anger at being teased, "enough time", isn't this a blank promise?
Sensing the gradually restless magic power in the space, Ryan quickly said: "No matter what kind of weapon research and development is a process, you can't expect me to change it out of thin air, can you?"

"You mean, you have the ability to develop and manufacture that kind of weapon?"

"That's right, it's just a matter of time, and I can even give priority to meeting your request." Ryan said with a sincere expression.

"Hehe, how did you make me believe you? You promised verbally now, but you turned your face and refused to admit it when you go back. How can I still rush into the castle and kill you?"

There was a look of sarcasm in Mei Lan's eyes, her patience was almost exhausted.

"That's not a problem. You and I can make a soul contract under the witness of the God of Contract, so you don't have to worry about me breaking my promise."

Ryan didn't care much about the current situation, and directly threw out a blockbuster.Once the contract was established, he really didn't regret taking the medicine.

"Soul contract..." Mei Lan frowned, and she began to hesitate in her heart. This seemed to be the only way at the moment.Even if she killed Ryan, it would only add to the trouble, and her needs would not be resolved.

"Okay, I promise."
