Lord of War

Five soldiers are patrolling in the forest. Their direction is the southwest of the valley. This position can actually be regarded as the dead end of the valley. People who enter from this direction will not be able to find the valley at all. Instead, they will be patrolling here. And suspicious. It's just that their commander may really be an idiot, so they will arrange manned patrols here. As these soldiers, of course they are not qualified to make comments.

  "What are we going to patrol here?" A young soldier said with a little downcast, "This corner is a dead end. It's a waste of time."

   "Okay, don't say anything, the captain didn't say anything, what did you say, a little kid." An older soldier interrupted him with dissatisfaction.

So, the young soldier secretly glanced at the captain of their squad-an about forty-year-old veteran. He is said to have participated in two large-scale battles, and both have won hundreds of military exploits and qualifications. He could already be a squadron commander, but he was demoted because he offended his superiors.

  The teenager was a little disappointed.

  He felt that his luck was terrible. The other patrols are responsible for the areas where the enemy is most likely to be found, and this also means the acquisition of combat exploits. If you want to get ahead in the army, you need to accumulate enough combat exploits at the fastest speed. Get the attention of superiors, then it is possible to get promoted. The higher the position, the greater the power and the higher the salary. He joined the army not for the honor and prestige of aristocrats, he just wants more practical things.

   But now, he was actually assigned to this team, and he suddenly felt very disappointed.

  "Did I accidentally offend someone?" The young man couldn't help thinking a little depressed.

   But no matter how he thinks back, he still can't remember whether he offended anyone or said something he missed. Less than three days after he completed training from the reserve force, he was transferred to this force, and the team was deployed here. During this period of time, he had the most contact with the recruits who came with him, until the assignment of tasks last night. Only then did he know which team he was going to follow.

  It was this morning that he realized that his captain was so great, and then he knew how unlucky his captain was, and at the same time he understood how bad his situation was. With such a captain, it is impossible for him to accumulate military exploits, unless a large-scale war really breaks out, but this kind of thing can't happen so easily.

   He sighed helplessly. The young man was a little sad. He looked up at a forty-five degree angle, but he failed to see the blue sky, only a large canopy of trees covering the sky.

  At this moment, there was a rustling sound in the woods.

  A girl with brilliant blonde long hair suddenly broke into the eyes of this patrol team. She was wearing a black and white gothic costume. The degree of luxury of the costume is obviously not what ordinary people can have. The most eye-catching feature is the girl's facial features-blue eyes are full of smiles, golden eyebrows are raised, and the corners of her mouth are raised slightly, revealing a playful and triumphant smile-as exquisite as that The masterpiece of the carving master.

She embraced her arms around her chest and held a somewhat exaggerated book in her arms. Judging from the complex textures depicted on the exposed cover of the book and the golden frame corners of the four corners, it is obvious that the book is The value is definitely not low.

  This girl is not very old, she should be around fifteen years old, and her face is filled with a happy smile.

  But soon, the smile froze on her face, and a look of horror appeared in her eyes. She did not hesitate at all, immediately turned around and ran. Several soldiers who were equally surprised by her appearance only reacted at this time and immediately stepped to catch up with her subconsciously.

  "Don't chase!" But at this moment, the leader of the team suddenly shouted, "This is weird."

  Hearing his voice, several soldiers also stopped. They were willing to trust the captain because he had much more experience than them. On the battlefield, experienced veterans are often more popular and loved, because these experiences may become their own life-saving words at some point, so since the captain said no to chase, then there must be his reason.

   "click."

  The little girl’s books fell to the ground, once again attracted the attention of the soldiers, and the little girl also ran forward a few steps before stopping. She looked back at the soldiers and seemed to see that they had no intention of catching up. She dared to ran back again. After picking up the books, she immediately turned around and ran away. However, because of tension, the little girl fell twice in the process. This time, it's just that these two times, she didn't drop the book, nor did she look back, but hurriedly struggled and ran away.

   "What's weird! Captain, you are too cautious!" The boy finally couldn't help but said, and then chased in the direction of the girl, "I'm going to catch her! This is a military exploit!"

  The teenager felt a burst of excitement from the bottom of his heart. There was an impulse whether it was psychologically or physically. Maybe this doesn't just mean military exploits, but what exactly it is, I am afraid that only he himself will know.

   "She's just a child!" Seeing the boy's behavior, the captain of this team couldn't help shouting.

   "It will be gone soon!" The boy's echo sounded in the forest, completely exposing his desire.

  The other soldiers looked at each other, and finally abandoned the captain’s warning and chased in the direction of the girl, fearing that if they fell behind, there would be nothing. Seeing the anxious looks of these few people who can be regarded as belonging to his own command, the captain's heart is a little uneasy, but where this uneasiness comes from, he doesn't know at all, he only feels one thing. There was a chill in my heart.

  Some strange noise seemed to be coming from behind him.

  The captain lowered his head alertly and flew forward. When he rolled on the spot, he glanced behind him with the corner of his eye.

no one!

  The veteran stood up slowly and laughed secretly. He was too nervous: "There shouldn't be anyone coming in this corner. That girl probably really went the wrong way..."

  Before I finished speaking, I felt a sharp pain in my back. This pain was transmitted extremely fast, and it spread to my chest all at once. The veteran looked down in surprise, and saw a small cut-through of the blade tip. The blood was flowing along the edge of the blade to the tip of the blade, and then dripped drop by drop, and drove out on the ground. Countless bright red flowers.

  The veteran turned his head hard, facing the extremely cold eyes of Xiao En, his mouth made a lot of noise, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything. Sean quickly drew his sword to one side, letting a **** arrow spattered out, and a not-so-faint light shot from the veteran's body, submerged into Sean's body, giving Sean a lot of experience points. .

   Then soon, four more light **** that were slightly darker than this one flew back from the direction where Cecilia ran away.

  Sean knew that the four soldiers who pursued Cecilia were dead.

  But when the last light did not enter the body, Sean felt a surging sensation of power in his body. This kind of power was almost broken out of his body, and Sean hadn't possessed it for nearly half a year. Re-experiencing at this time, there is an indescribable comfort all over the body, as if the pores that have been occluded for a long time get a kind of relaxation, and the whole body is invigorating and dripping.

   Soon, Alfred and Anno protected Cecilia and walked back.

   "How?" Alfred asked.

  Sean nodded and smiled: "It's ready."

  "Then it's better to hurry up. We have cleaned up all the patrols. If the opponent suddenly changes shifts at this time, we will be exposed immediately." Alfred said.

   "I know." After Xiao En said another sentence, he swiped the sword on his palm, exerted a little force, and the blood continued to drip from his hand.

  On the grass, Sean used his blood to quickly send out a strange magic circle. This magic circle is not registered in any magic manual. Although it does not seem complicated, the magic circle does not judge the supply of magic power by the number of strokes, but the power of a magic circle is judged by the number of magic nodes.

  Cecilia could tell at a glance that the magic circle in front of her had as many as eighty-eight magic nodes, which was a magic circle close to the intermediate level!

By the time this magic circle was drawn, Sean’s face had become a little pale. It was not because of excessive blood loss, but because the consumption of magic power was slightly high. He simply bandaged his left hand and stretched out his hand to Sisi. Leah. And Cecilia quickly handed the pages of the book of the devil to Sean, and saw that Sean threw the paper away without hesitation. The paper that should have fluttered in the wind, but there was still some paper. The weight is average, and it falls quickly.

When the paper fell to the ground, white smoke emerged from the paper, and a sulphur smell and blazing heat continued to pounce on the face. The hot magma continued to tumble on the ground, the piles higher and higher, like one Like a tumor bag. In the next second, the magma exploded fiercely, and a demon with silver scales and red and black stripes appeared in everyone's eyes.

  Because the location where Sean waved and threw it was in the magic circle, the place where the demon came out at the moment was on this magic circle.

  The magic circle is not big, it's less than half a meter in diameter, but just letting this silver scale demon with a size similar to a human stand inside is definitely more than enough.

Almost at the moment when this demon appeared, Sean had already begun to chant a spell in a low voice. When the demon fully revealed his figure, Sean’s spell was just over, actually calculating the time. Not bad in one second. When the magic nodes on the magic circle light up one by one, the consciousness of the silver scale demon finally came to this body, but when it realized something was wrong, the eighty-eight nodes on the magic circle It's all lit up.

  The silver scale demon suddenly let out a crazy roar, but strangely, this roar did not sound at all in this forest.

  Everyone could only see the look of this demon roaring fiercely, but they didn't hear its sound at all, as if it had been involved in silent magic. Immediately afterwards, everyone saw the demon's figure suddenly move, and it was about to rush towards Sean, but it had just jumped to the edge of the magic circle, and a blood-red crystal suddenly appeared in the air, faintly above it. There was a purple-blue electric light shining, fiercely bounce the demon's momentum back.

  [Detected biological silver scale demon, attack effect: range extension, defense effect: demon armor, is it sealed? 】

   "Seal!" Sean said in a deep voice.

  I saw a circle of magic halo suddenly rising from the magic circle on the ground, spinning and floating in the air. The blood-red light is not strong, but the magic fluctuations emanating from within are not weak, but people who do not have a keen sense of magic can never find such fluctuations-and when the magic halo stops in mid-air, it is originally transparent. The blood red crystal wall completely appeared in front of everyone, which made the silver scale demon inside become more irritable.

   But all his attacks were in vain.

As the magic circle began to compress, the red beam of light like a test tube gradually became stronger, and you could even see the blood-red crystal wall becoming more and more vivid, and there was a faint sound of bone being crushed. . When this beam of light was finally compressed into a flat magic circle floating in the air, the red brilliance on it was so rich that it almost dripped out, and everyone could imagine the fate of the demon inside.

  【Please select the seal type. 】

Sean actually hesitated for a while. He didn't expect that the silver scale demon's attack effect would actually be a range extension. This can already be regarded as a space system judging effect, and this effect was only one of the few in the game. The curse seal swordsman owns it. But his fighting rhythm itself is based on speed. The damage determined by this attack extension does not play a big role for him. On the contrary, he lacks adequate defense means, which is a serious injury to him. .

Almost all demon creatures, if used as defensive markings, will generate the effect of "demon armor". This effect can temporarily cover the body with a layer of demon skin, which can not only effectively resist a certain degree of damage, but also Can be immune to fire damage. Only a handful of demons have other types of defensive effects, some are stronger than demon armor, and some are worse than demon armor.

  However, judging from the current results, the defensive effect of the silver scale demon can only be regarded as quite satisfactory, but the attack effect is quite good.

  If you want to be more conducive to your long-term development, you should naturally choose the attack effect. But from the current situation, it is natural that the value of the defensive effect is higher, and Sean does not need to be forced to re-adjust his tactical rhythm for this attack effect. The most important point is that after possessing the "demon armor", even temporarily possessing the devil's defensive power is enough to greatly enhance his survivability.

   "Defense!"

  When Shaun’s words fell, the scarlet magic circle shrank rapidly, shrinking and changing from the initial half-meter diameter. At the beginning, there were some traces of the magic circle, but as the range narrowed to less than a few centimeters at the end, there was no trace of the magic circle at all, and even the magic nodes seemed to have disappeared.

  When the magic circle finally became only a few centimeters in size, it suddenly turned into a rainbow light and shot into Xiao En's left hand.

  A burst of white smoke suddenly emerged from Sean’s left hand, as if it had been scalded by a soldering iron. After resisting the severe pain in his hand, a slightly strange rune appeared on the back of Sean’s left hand.

This rune looks like an "x", but on both sides there is a red texture that resembles a bull's horn. Then the two nodes below the x will bend around and extend down the arm. , But they did not merge with each other, but revealed a gap. And above the x, there is also a mark. This mark looks more like a y, but the two corners of the y extension are sharper and more zigzagging.

[Curse Imprint. Silver Scale: Defensive effect. When activated, it can cover a part of the body with a layer of demon skin. It can effectively resist sharp weapon damage with a piercing value of 30 or less. It is ineffective against blow damage and immune to all fire damage. The time is 10 seconds, and the cooling time is 1 hour. 】

  Looking at the mark that appeared on the back of his hand, the corners of Sean's mouth raised slightly, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

  Although the effect is only a short ten seconds, if used well, Sean is even sure to play against the next level silver master. With this basic guarantee, it is enough for Sean to do a lot of things, and he is no longer even afraid of being assassinated by others, because the activation of the curse seal is instant, which means that as long as the heart is moved, it will have an immediate effect. !

   "Success?" Alfred and Cecilia couldn't understand the situation, so they asked curiously.

   Xiao En did not answer, he showed the back of his hand to the three of them, but when he saw the other's slightly blank eyes, he had to nod his head and say: "It's successful!"

   "Then what shall we do next?" Cecilia asked.

  "What should I do?" Sean asked back, "When William arrives, we will leave here.... Our entrustment with Paro is to help him find the goods and then send a signal to him, right?"

  Everyone nodded.

  So, Sean laughed: "Now the things are inside, isn't the rest his business?"
