Devil’s Son-in-Law - Chapter 972

[Chapter 956: Ambush (4,000 words)]

The “Welcome Team” of the Longhuang Empire entered the Yangshao Royal Capital and received a grand welcome from King Robben XIX.

Although the Yangshao Kingdom is a well-known “mercenary kingdom” in the human world, its territory is not vast, and many countries border the Longhuang Empire.

When Robben I founded the kingdom as a mercenary, he received strong support from the Longhuang Empire, so the Yangshao Kingdom has always existed as a vassal state similar to the Longhuang Empire.

Compared with the founders of his ancestors, the current Robben XIX has a big belly, a smile, and there is no shadow of a mercenary at all. He is a complete king.

Facing the arrival of the third prince of the Longhuang Empire, Robben XIX did not dare to neglect, and held a welcoming ceremony with the highest reception standards.

Not only because of his highness’s identity as a prince, but also because “Arthur” is the lord of Jin Yao who controls magic games and rice wine, plus the title of one of the three great masters of human beings.

Such a big man is likely to be the king of the Longhuang Empire in the future, so he absolutely needs to have a good relationship.

Chen Rui politely declined Robben 19’s kindness to hold a grand banquet for him, and only made a short stay before leaving and heading towards Garden City.

Before leaving, Chen Rui gave Ron 19 a few bottles of the best yellow dragon wine, plus a long-term yellow wine supply list, which made Ron 19 smile on his fat face.

The team’s route is to go through Garton City to the Mirror City of Loya Kingdom, then through the portal of Mirror City to the Starlight Kingdom, and then from the Starlight Kingdom to the Emerald Forest.

The carriages are equipped with the most sophisticated mutant warhorses of the Longhuang Empire. They are the best in terms of speed and endurance. Even at night, they can clearly see things, which is far from what civilian vehicles can compare to, and can greatly save travel.

After all, because the magic game has the “assistance” of the Church of Light.

Chen Rui saved a lot of work and set off earlier than planned, so he still had plenty of time on hand.

It’s not that he is in a hurry to go to the Lanyao Empire to get engaged, but he wants to go to the Jade Forest Sea and meet the two grandmasters again. As for what Feinoya said to give, he didn’t really take it to heart.

These two are his true friends in the human world. When he met them, he had only just reached the realm of a quasi-master of crafting.

The two masters gave him selfless guidance and help, and he finally succeeded in becoming a master, and thus defeated Saman and Ucarius in the life-and-death battle of the Demon Maker Masters.

Now Chen Rui’s crafting technique has faintly surpassed the two masters, and his combat power is far better than the two, but no matter what his strength is.

How to make a device, a friend is a friend.

Friendship does not change because of high or low.

The speeding carriage suddenly stopped. The pause was so abrupt that even Chen Rui in the carriage space felt it, and immediately notified Lola and the others to put away the space.

I heard the sound of chaos and fighting from outside the carriage.

“His Royal Highness, please don’t leave the carriage!” The saint-level powerhouse Bedel said solemnly: “We were attacked by an unknown person, and General Proyo is directing the battle.”

Chen Rui stretched out his head and just glanced at it.

Have a panoramic view of the surrounding situation.

This is a concave terrain. There are no taller peaks on both sides. There are huge logs on the ground in front and behind, which are burning.

The air was filled with the scorching heat after the magic circle was activated, and the firelight reflected the nearby corpses.

There are people and there are horses.

It seems that the enemy is using the terrain to launch an attack, blocking the way the convoy comes and goes. Judging from the power and layout of the magic circle, it is by no means an ordinary thief,

but a premeditated ambush.

Under the command of Proyo, the knights restrained the horses, huddled into a circle, and protected the carriage in the middle.

In the darkness, there were countless air-breaking sounds whistling, faintly flickering light, which should be feather arrows with magic attached.

With the wand in Bader’s hand, the arrows seemed to have hit the invisible shield, and they were cut off one after another and fell. The strange machine sounded, and in the sound of breaking through the air, there was another sharper whistling sound.

“Giant crossbow machine!” Bader’s face changed. The giant crossbow machine is a kind of giant and complex ballista. It was originally used to deal with giant monsters such as dragons. It was quite time-consuming to reload, but its power and destructive power were extremely terrifying.

Although the giant crossbow machine is powerful, it is a dead thing after all. If it is alone, Bader has a way, but at present his duty is to protect the carriage, which means that it can only be hard-connected on the spot.

From hearing the sound of the giant crossbow machine to the time when the reaction was just a flash of lightning, it was too late for Bedel to react. The thick soil condensed into a shield, suspended in front.

Almost the next second, there was a sound of being penetrated by an earthen shield, followed by a crackling sound, the ground trembled, and almost all the earthen shields were shattered.

Fortunately, there were only large cracks in the last two floors, barely resisting the “arrow.” Many knights nearby were injured by the bursting force.

“Damn, it’s a giant crossbow bolt with the strongest burst formation!” Another saint-level swordsman, Cardo couldn’t help but scolded, “Giant crossbow machines are strictly prohibited ordnance even in the military. , where did these bastards get them!”

Proyo immediately ordered the knights to dismount, put the horses behind him, and further narrowed the range of the circle, waiting for him.

Just now, Bader forcibly activated the power of the domain to block the blow. He did not dare to neglect it. The wand waved again, the ground shook, and tall and hard thick walls rose in all directions, protecting the carriage like a city wall.

The sound of the machine and the sharp whistling sounded again. This time there was more than one giant crossbow. The surrounding earth walls were penetrated by several layers and collapsed under the force of the explosion, but the innermost layers were not damaged.

Bader is proficient in earth magic, and his ability to adapt is also extremely fast. This earth wall technique, which condenses the power of the domain, is really the best way to defend against giant crossbows.

After a round of unsuccessful shooting, the sound of the giant crossbow machine stopped temporarily. After all, this kind of crossbow machine loading is the biggest weakness.

However, ghostly figures began to appear behind the collapsed earth wall, rushing towards the carriage-after the shooting was unsuccessful, the enemy adopted melee combat.

The knights near the carriage were all elites of the Dragonscale Legion. They didn’t panic or act rashly, but just waited quietly for the command of Captain Proyo.

The Phantoms are pretty close.

Proyo gave an order, and the swordsmen in the front row swung their long swords in unison, slashing out at an angle, straight, horizontal, then straight, then horizontal… These swordsmen’s strength is at least at the division level. Rows of strong winds staggered out neatly, like a giant net.

Those phantoms turned into countless pieces before they got close to the body.

Chen Rui could see that these knights had a kind of power similar to magical tattoos, and the combined formation could exert their own power several times over.

Especially these well-trained, battle-hardened elites.

There is evidence to advance and retreat, as if it is a person, even in the face of holy-level powerhouses, there is still the power to fight.

The formation of a combined attack is the best method of warfare that humans are good at. In this regard, the demon world is much weaker, and sometimes it depends on the strength of individuals.

Generally speaking.

Due to the relationship between lifespan and physical strength, compared with the same level of powerhouses, demons are better than humans.

The elites of the Dragonscale Legion in front of him taught Chen Rui a lesson, and it took a blink of an eye.

It was like a meat grinder, beheading enemies that outnumbered his own.

Bedell, who was around the carriage, raised his head sharply, and saw countless light spots appearing in the night sky, and those light spots instantly became much larger.

It turned out to be a meteorite with fire.

“Meteor Fire Shower!” Bader exclaimed, the Meteor Fire Shower is a powerful magic of the Fire Element.

The lethality to fixed targets on the ground is extremely high. There are hundreds of these meteorites. Even at this distance, you can feel the terrifying fire element fluctuations. It seems that there is a powerful fire magician in the enemy.

The carriage could not move now. Like the giant crossbow before, Bader could only pick it up hard. He raised his wand high, aimed it at the sky, and quickly chanted a spell in his mouth.

At this moment, a warning sign suddenly appeared in his heart, and he saw a golden light lit up, flying towards him like a galloping lightning bolt. At this time, the sound of breaking the sky sounded – arrow!

This arrow condensed an incomparably powerful domain force, and the timing was extremely accurate. It was when Bader condensed his magic power to resist the meteor shower in the air, and he had no time to make a second reaction.

The magician’s melee combat ability is almost equal to zero. If the arrow is real, Bader will be severely injured if he doesn’t die, and he will not be able to resist the meteor shower that falls from the sky. The carriage and the people nearby will become melted meat sauce.

“Ding!” The arrow was blocked by a giant sword, and the one holding the sword was another saint-level powerhouse, Cardo.

Cardo really lived up to Bader’s expectations and took the arrow for him.

Bader’s magic power surged out, and the meteor shower in the sky quickly slowed down.

The golden light lit up, and the target this time was Cardo.

Lianzhu arrows, five arrows are trained into a line, the front arrow accurately shoots into the back arrow tail, which is equal to nearly five times the afterburner, and the cardo sword is horizontal, and the whole person is shaken by more than ten meters.

Before he could regain his strength, dozens of golden lights with sharp whistles flew towards Bader, who was stalemate with the meteor shower, and it was too late for Cardo to rescue him.

Bader’s heart was not good, and his figure instantly appeared in the air. This teleportation made the meteor fire rain fall a little faster. Bedel quickly stabilized the magic power he resisted and shouted, “Take His Highness out of here!

” In this way, you can only passively be beaten by staying still, and you must give up the carriage.

However, just as Bedel’s words fell, the golden lights that were lost seemed to have eyes, and they turned an arc and tracked toward the mid-air Bedell.

Bedel was shocked, and at this critical moment, the golden light suddenly stopped, revealing the original shape inside, arrows all made of golden metal.

The next scene made everyone stunned. These dozens of gleaming arrows instantly turned into fly ash, and these faintly radiant fly ash quickly retreated, following the trajectory of the arrows when they came, as if The playback footage is average.

In the blink of an eye, the light had already flown backwards and returned to the place where the arrow was sent, and a shrill cry rang out. It only rang for half a second, then stopped abruptly, and there was no more sound.

Bader in the air could see it most clearly. It was a slender figure. He tried to avoid the retrograde light several times, but he was unable to succeed. The moment he was returned to his body by the light, he screamed and his body was turned to ashes. .

Bader only felt that the pressure on the top of his head was loosened, and hundreds of meteorites with flames also turned into ashes in the blink of an eye, blown away by the night wind in the sky, and scattered without a trace.

What power is this?

It’s so powerful!

That slender figure is obviously a peak saint-level powerhouse, and it turned into fly ash in an instant. Judging from that floating state, this kind of power is not like magic power, but more like a poison!

Everything just now was naturally the masterpiece of Pagliu sitting on the top of the carriage. These lowly powerful assassins only need to move their fingers to solve it.

Uncle Poison Dragon took a sip of wine and winked at the human beings as if he was a demonstrator. He looked like a villain. This uncle is amazing. How strong are you, you can only pretend to be

a grandson… Chen Rui looks like

The expression doesn’t matter, but Lola glanced at the poisonous dragon, and then withdrew her gaze. Anyway, if the little sister made a move, the ten Paglios would also kneel, and they would not bother to care about this fellow.

Only the amoeba looked dejected. Such a good opportunity to pinch the soft persimmon and make merit was missed because of the greedy drinking of the last half bottle of wine.

“The enemy has retreated!” Bader could see clearly that after the strong archer was killed, the ghostly shadows seemed to have received some order and quickly retreated, including the one who released the meteor fire. Rain’s fire magician.

Cardo stepped forward and bowed to Pagliu together with Bedell, who had landed, with obvious awe in their eyes.

Others may not know it yet, but as a saint-level strength, he and Bedel can both feel that it was the man who looked careless by the side of the Third Highness who solved the enemy.

With a wave of his hand, the peak saint-level powerhouse is turned into flying ashes. The guardian of “Arthur” has far surpassed the saint-level-super-level powerhouse!

Seeing the enemy retreat, the knights raised their long swords in unison and cheered for victory.

Lola whispered in Chen Rui’s ear: “I felt the fluctuation of the water system transmission, those people should have escaped using the one-time teleportation array.”

Chen Rui nodded, showing a thoughtful color.

Proyo didn’t hear Lola’s voice, he just frowned and said, “I always feel something is wrong, I think the enemy is retreating a little too fast…”

“General, worry too much,” Bedell shook indifferently. Shaking his head.

“I can see very clearly that the leader of the enemy was killed by the guardian of His Highness, and his morale dropped, so he retreated.”

“It’s just a commander’s intuition, I hope I’m wrong.” Proyo nodded. When he was arranging the soldiers to clear the road obstacles, Pagliu suddenly frowned and stood up.
