Lord of War
Vol 3 Chapter 24: .The choice of the third way
Sean knew that today is the last day of the mission, and it must be the most dangerous day. So from the beginning, he expected many possible situations, such as a halfway attack, or a group of people for a strong attack, even if it didn't work, at least it would definitely be a fierce battle.
But Sean didn't expect that all this was completely different from what he expected.
There is only one person.
The female jing spirit sword dancer of the Pofeng tribe who was confronted head-on with Shaun.
She did not lead the Pofeng tribe's men to intercept together, nor did she use any small means to conspire with Xiao Yin, but when Sean saw the solemn face of the other party, he knew that this interception was probably the real final contest. NS.
Because in the face of this sword dancer, Shaun saw a determination to look directly at death.
In other words, the opponent came to intercept with the belief that he was mortal. Faced with such an opponent, Sean did not feel that he could deter the opponent by some small means. This was a fight with real swords and guns. Only the winner can survive. But the problem now is that Sean cannot guarantee that he can end the battle within five minutes. Once it exceeds five minutes, his combat effectiveness will be reduced by at least half. In this case, let alone kill the opponent, whether he can blew himself or not will become a problem. .
Jing Spirit Sword Dancer, none of them is simple.
This profession has always been known for its strong heads-up ability-of course, this refers to the hands of high play, if in the hands of ordinary players, the extremely complex skill system is enough to make people kneel. But all of this is based on the premise of the game world. In this real world, how can someone who can become a sword dancer be weak? Even if it is really a weak person, the strength of the upper gold is also there. This is like "level suppression" in the game.
only……
Xiao En's brows furrowed tightly, and he suddenly glanced sideways at his right side, his eyes sharp as a knife.
However, there is clearly no one in this place.
On this grassland, the field of vision is very wide, and there is no blind spot in the field of vision. In other words, it’s impossible to hide anyone from the place where Sean looks past, unless the illusionist is interfering, but in front of Cecilia, if the record is too close, even if the illusionist’s magic flow traces are The lowest of all legal professions can never escape Cecilia's induction.
So, the use of illusion as a way of covering up and approaching is not always applicable.
But Sean still feels that someone is watching him in this direction.
"Don't worry, you're the only one here." When the female sword dancer saw Sean suddenly turned her head, she frowned slightly, and then said softly, "I'm just here to have a fair with you. The duel... If you win, there will be no one blocking your path from the Brofeng Tribe, but if you lose, then please leave Princess Saloqi to me."
"Fair duel?" Xiao En slowly withdrew his gaze, staring at the female spirit sword dancer in front of him.
The saying of a fair duel made Sean smile noncommittal.
Because he did not expect this to be the case, because when Sean saw that only one person appeared, he never thought of a fair duel. Since it was an enemy, he would just rush to kill the enemy, anyway. There are a lot of people here. But now, Xiao En did not dare to guarantee such confidence, because he could feel the powerful power contained in that cold sight just now.
Although Xiao En did not know why the opponent could hide his figure, he was sure that there must be an enemy hidden on the right side, and the strength of this enemy was far higher than that of the female spirit sword dancer in front of him. Probably the strength can only barely protect himself. Basically, among everyone present, it is estimated that no one except Rina and Xuefanio will be the opponent of the concealed person, but Rina is in a coma at the moment, so the only thing that can prevent the opponent from attacking is left. Xuefanio.
For Sean, if it is an ordinary enemy, he will not care too much. But being able to hide his body in such a way that he does not even understand how the other party did it, then this person must be very dedicated to assassinations and sneak attacks, so if you ask Xuefanio to go with the sword dancer Fighting against each other, Sean had no idea how to stop the assassin's sneak attack.
Therefore, if you really want a one-on-one duel, then he can really only fight.
"Yes, it's a fair duel." The female spirit sword dancer nodded, "You, and me."
"What if I refuse?" Sean laughed, "You are alone, but I am more than one. Then do you think I need to fight you?"
"Why refuse?" The female jing spirit sword dancer wrinkled her brows again, this time deeper than the previous one, her face even had a strong incomprehensible se, "You humans don't attach great importance to glory and reputation. Is it? If so, then I will challenge you, why do you refuse?"
Hearing the other party’s words, Xiao En knew that this female jing spirit sword dancer’s knowledge of the human world might be worse than that of Saloqi. Otherwise, she would definitely not just run to a duel with Sean. Perhaps in her cognition, she came to a duel with Sean. This was the best solution, because she couldn't think of Sean at all. What reason to refuse this duel.
So, at this time, Sean rejected the proposal in one go, leaving the female sword dancer feeling extremely confused and confused.
"Most humans really value glory and reputation." Sean shrugged, "But please note that I'm talking about most. In the human world, there are many things that don't care about these vain things at all."
"For example, you?" When Sean said, "Humans really value honor and reputation," the female sword dancer's eyes did brighten up, but when Sean emphasized the three words "mostly", this The face of the female sword dancer was a bit ugly. She looked around Xiao En's body, this time she didn't have the solemn expression of seeing death as home, but rather a lonely **** se.
But for a cunning and wise person like Sean, he only needs a little clue from his opponent, and he can infer a lot of intelligence.
Judging from the spirit of the female sword dancer’s face, this time Sean can conclude that the hidden person lurking around was not with the female jing spirit sword dancer, at least not the other party. People of the Pofeng tribe, otherwise this female sword dancer's tricks of forcing the palace would not fall into such a dilemma. But more, it was Sean who saw that there was a painful se that was trying to hide in her eyes, and her face se was obviously much paler than the previous confrontation in the woods.
At this moment, Sean’s mind became brighter and brighter: "You are injured."
Hearing Sean’s words, the **** se of the female sword dancer was slightly startled, but she quickly calmed down: "Yes, I am injured, so do you dare to fight me?"
"I still refuse." Xiao En's mouth raised slightly. Although he didn't laugh out loud, there was a smile on his face that anyone with a discerning eye could see.
Cecilia glanced sideways at Sean’s smile. She was really familiar with Sean, so when she saw Sean smile like this, she knew that Sean must be thinking about it again. This idea is definitely in his grasp, otherwise he would not show such a triumphant smile. Because most of the time, Sean's **** se always seems to be caught in the solution of some century's problem, and always looks full of distress.
Many people can’t understand why Sean has such an expression.
Because he does not need to manage a lot of things like ordinary lord. Although his territory is indeed very large, in fact the military and political systems of the entire territory have long been clearly divided, and in both systems there are the highest persons in charge. The person who really manages the territory is not Sean at all, so Those who have not entered the core class under Xiao En's command will naturally not know where Xiao En's troubles are.
Only core followers like William, Alfred, Neal, Hela, Cecilia, will know the real troubles in Sean’s brain.
"I must correct your sentence." Sean shrugged. "In the human world, there are indeed many people who don't care about so-called glory, reputation and the like, and I can only be said to include me in this ranks, but It’s not like me."
"Is there a difference?" The female sword dancer was puzzled.
"Of course." Sean nodded, "In some cases, I will do something that is detrimental to glory and reputation, but there are prerequisites for it. And most of the time, I pay much attention to glory. And reputation, after all, I am a lord who is about to become a Marquis....... You are my enemy, so when dealing with enemies, I have never been merciful, so naturally I don’t care about the so-called reputation and glory. Right now, I didn't feel strong hostility and warfare in your body. Since you are not hostile to me, it is possible that we will not fight in a certain way, and the most important point is that you are injured. "
"so what?"
"I don't fight the wounded." Sean said in a deep voice, "You want to die under my sword. I can do you well, but not now."
The female sword dancer did not speak, her eyes staring at Sean were full of doubt.
"Get out of the way." Sean said softly.
"Impossible." The female sword dancer shook her head, "I have only two options left. The first is to take away the princess of the Xuefeng tribe, and the second is to die on this land. But I don't want to die. So I must take the princess away...Of course, if you can kill me, then this may be my destiny."
Listening to this female sword dancer, Sean frowned slightly, and then she and Cecilia looked at each other. Even Xuefanio, who was not far away, showed a curious spirit, not to mention Saloqi Xuefeng, who was the party involved, but her Jingling guard was still on guard. Obviously, the hatred between Xuefeng tribe and Pofeng tribe has reached an extreme, it is impossible to trust each other or easily reconcile each other.
"What if we can provide you with a third way?" Cecilia looked at the female sword dancer, and then suddenly said.
This time, it was Sean's turn to remain silent.
In the handling of foreign affairs, Sean believes that he is inferior to Cecilia. This is not just a question of ability, but also a kind of talent and experience. Because anyway, Cecilia is a princess of a country after all, so naturally she will be a little bit fascinated, plus she went to the Maggie Empire’s Magic Academy for further studies, and there is not only learning there. It's just magic, and many government issues and handling are also taught.
So when Cecilia speaks, Sean usually chooses to be quiet and let Cecilia deal with this kind of problem.
Sure enough, when the female sword dancer saw Sean’s silence, her eyes finally no longer looked at Sean, but at Cecilia.
"What is the third way?"
"What about your subordinates?" Cecilia didn't answer directly, but instead asked a new question. "If I remember correctly, even if you lost a few strong men when we played against each other that day, You should also have some subordinates, it is absolutely impossible to block the way alone like you are now."
Hearing Cecilia's words, Sean suddenly realized a problem.
This sword dancer is very strong. Although the Pofeng tribe is only a ** tribe, there are not too many golden powerhouses, but based on their knowledge and cognition of the Xuefeng tribe, if they really value Saloqi. If Xuefeng is the case, then there will definitely not only be such a few gold powerhouses. Especially in the way of acting in the wild land, it would definitely not be so big, at least as it is now, only this female sword dancer intercepted it alone, and it would never happen.
Never treat your enemies as idiots.
Sean still remembers this sentence, which was the first piece of advice his president told him.
"I think they are cumbersome, so I didn't bring them." The female sword dancer said softly, her voice full of simplicity.
It’s just that Sean and Cecilia are so brilliant and smart. From this sentence, you can hear some peculiar meanings, not to mention the sorrow that this female sword dancer tried to hide in this simple and concise voice. .
"Do you not want to bring them, or do they all..." Cecilia didn't finish this sentence completely.
"What are you trying to say!" The female sword dancer shouted in a deep voice, this time she was really angry.
Seeing the anger of the female sword dancer, Cecilia laughed instead. In the use of skills such as diplomatic negotiations, if Sean is just a beginner, then this female sword dancer has no qualifications to be called an apprentice at all, because even Sean knows that forever above language confrontation Don't expose your emotions easily. No matter how angry and fearful you are, or joy and excitement, you shouldn't show it.
Obviously, this female sword dancer did not understand this.
However, for the straight-forward style of the wild land, I am afraid that many people will never understand this in their lifetime.
The princess Saloqi Xuefeng is an exception.
Maybe it’s because Cecilia and Sean got too close and had too much contact, so that after seeing the angry look of the female sword dancer, Cecilia’s smile actually gave people a kind of devil. **Like feeling: "So... do you want revenge? For your companions? If you want, then I will give you a third way as a choice."
"You want me to surrender?" The female sword dancer suddenly calmed down from her anger, but this time her **** se showed a trace of sarcasm, "Rather than let me surrender you humans, then I would rather die here. On a piece of land."
"I think... after talking for so long, I haven't asked your name." Cecilia said with a smile, "Next is Cecilia. Cecilia Lembel."
"Sean Connery." Sean gave the female sword dancer a noble courtesy of friendly greetings, "The one over there is Xuefanio, and the one resting in the carriage is Rina.... As for the two of the Xuefeng tribe, I think you should be familiar with them."
The female sword dancer looked at Sean and Cecilia, and indeed did not feel any hostility or warfare in the two of them, or not from the beginning. Just like in Sean’s eyes, the sheen that the female sword dancer exudes is always light yellow. This is a message of neutrality. At least as long as Sean doesn’t do anything first, maybe the other party Wouldn't attack Sean at all.
After such a moment of hesitation, the female sword dancer said: "Venya. Breaking Wind."
"Okay, then I call you Miss Venia, don't you mind?" Cecilia smiled, and after seeing Venia's noncommittal expression, she continued to speak, "I miss Miss Venia. You may be mistaken about one thing.... That is the third way I said, not to make you surrender, but to cooperate. I don’t know who your tribe chooses to cooperate, but from Miss Winia Judging from your current situation, you may have been abandoned by your tribe?"
When Cecilia said this, Vinia, a fool who didn't know how to hide his emotions, showed a surprised look. Obviously she didn't understand why Cecilia would know, but she just didn't wait for her. Speaking, Cecilia continued: "You don't need to ask how I know. You have to know that human beings are always very good at analyzing intelligence and reasoning.... In short, I think of my current position. Nothing went wrong yet."
Vinia. Po Feng nodded.
"In this case, Miss Vinia is like a gangster, all the shackles that bound you have disappeared, you don't need to worry about the problem of the broken wind tribe." Cecilia continued to smile and said, "Then the only thing you need to do right now is to take revenge for the companions who once trusted you and gave their lives to you?... Well, just right, we can provide you with such an opportunity. ."
Looking at Vinia, who was obviously moved, and Cecilia, who looked "I’m doing you well", Sean didn’t understand whether it was Vinia who was too cute or Sisi. Li Yatai is terrible. (To be continued.)
