Chapter 157: Abandoning Armor and the Monk and the Three Disasters of the Contract
The magic grenade has a huge impact on people.
Not to mention the explosions, noises and flames, which are equally intimidating to all intelligent creatures.
The sheer number of troops alone was enough to overwhelm General Paddy.
At this point, to speculate that the previous attacks were caused by the light explosion particles and the lizardmen is probably just a stubborn spirit that is unwilling to admit reality.
Are you still vividly remembering the scene where your comrades were blown into bleeding water bags?
Therefore, after such a series of explosions, the soldiers under General Paddy, even the elite who had followed him in battle for a long time, lost the will to resist.
Soon, under the enthusiastic gaze of the grenadiers, they crouched down one by one, holding their heads and waiting.
At the same time, the arrangements for the lizard "giant" did not stop for a moment.
Anivia and Abes both witnessed how difficult the thing under the East Gate Cemetery was.
Now a lizard "giant" with similar characteristics and equally difficult to deal with has appeared, so it is naturally handled with caution.
After Abes took over the capital, he arranged for people to follow the method given by the wizards and put the base of the statue in the capital, known as the Holy Stone, there to suppress the black water at the east gate that continuously produced undead creatures.
After that, the black water no longer flowed near the gate of the royal capital.
Can the lizard "giant" in front of us be suppressed and sealed using similar means?
All of this is still unknown.
Even if they could, where could they find the second holy stone?
Therefore, Abes called Hyonaga to deal with it, which seemed to be the relatively safest option at the moment. That was to let Hyonaga, the mage who controlled frost, freeze the lizard "giant" in front of him, along with the lizardmen warriors who would strengthen the opponent if they were destroyed.
After that, I'm afraid Abeth will need the help of professionals like Sister Agatha.
In short, just when everything was going as Abes expected, General Paddy stood up rather unwillingly.
Even if it was him, facing this series of magic grenades that were more numerous than sturgeon roe, he might not be able to break through while preserving his limbs.
However, surrendering without a fight is not his style.
"Damn it... Citizens are just currency, I am the country... How can we stop here!"
On the chaotic battlefield, General Paddy climbed up and took off his armor.
It was at this time that Abes saw what it meant to throw away all one's weapons and armor.
He threw away his helmet and sword, and untied the two or three layers of armor inside and outside.
Gauntlets, leg guards, shoulder guards...
Without untying the straps and putting on the things, moving would be a difficult action.
As they walked, parts of the armor fell off and dripped down like butter hitting a hot knife.
It's quite darkly humorous and frightening.
Seeing this, Anivia moved closer, trying to stop the other party from escaping.
But no one expected that General Paddy, who had lost his armor and weapons, would reveal his dangerousness at this time.
state!
Anivia approached, but was hit in the chest by the opponent's fist. He rolled backwards several times, and then he supported himself and stood up again as if waking up.
Instantly, Abes and Hiiragi's eyes lit up.
What was that just now?
In the professional system, that profession should be the only one that can perform such operations.
Bare-handed attack... Stunning Fist.
It's a monk!
General Paddy actually has a part-time job as a monk!
----------
Abes looked up with a gloomy expression.
General Paddy's slightly dark skin matched the hand-to-hand combat posture he was in.
However, this sudden change also surprised Abes.
The monk is a profession with an oriental Three Kingdoms flavor.
Using the strange magic power called Qi requires practice and asceticism.
Small walled monasteries are not uncommon in a chaotic world.
However, in the monastery that was like a small boat barely maintaining its position in the waves, these people did not become apostles of God, and did not come into contact with the power of the oath.
They choose to perfect themselves through meditation and discipline.
However, although monks often have various strange schools according to different precepts.
For example, the Shadow Sect, which is known as the ninja, the Drunken Fist Sect, which is famous for its drunken fist, the Eternal Death Sect, which walks the world like a plague doctor, the Sword Saint Sect, which practices weapon skills, the Sun Soul Sect, which is like a small sun, and the Star Wo Sect, which releases its spirit body to help itself fight...
Although its strength has been criticized a lot, its painting style is generally very rigorous and excellent.
Therefore, generally speaking, monks tend to live in seclusion, away from all distractions that might disturb their spiritual purity, and swear to live a secret life.
And General Paddy is the leader of the seven generals of the small northern kingdom of Wommza.
Participate in politics and military affairs, and in the secular world extremely frequently and to the extreme.
He did not take the lives of the soldiers of the small kingdom seriously, and for the sake of his own ambitions he allowed the alien species from the Eastern Wilderness to invade the small kingdom at will.
Make Abes admit that such a thoroughly mediocre, vulgar and rotten person is a warrior monk?
This is really unacceptable.
More importantly, after various trainings, monks can make wonderful use of the Qi flowing in their bodies.
Whether channeling it to enhance combat skills or skillfully using it for defense and mobility, this energy empowers the monk in all aspects.
This made General Paddy's escape particularly difficult - the monk was able to deflect thrown objects.
After Anivia recovered from the stun punch, the series of magic arrows she shot were all deflected by the opponent.
And if you throw magic grenades at him, this guy can actually hit you back with extreme force.
Instead of using bows and arrows, or throwing magic grenades and other long-range means, why not try close combat?
Can't find such a suitable candidate.
Abes had just used the second degree of rage, and the effect of exhaustion had not completely disappeared.
Let the others take action, and get closer to the monk?
The result would be what happened to Anivia, who was held in place by the Stunning Fist and could only watch the other party leave.
Some grenadiers who didn't believe in evil put down their backpacks containing grenades and instead took out their traditional spear throwing skills, preparing to go over and try it out.
Abes also activated the bone flute in his hand, letting the group of wolves gather around General Paddy, preparing to deal with him using the same method they used to deal with the lizard "giant".
however……
General Paddy's movements were like a tiger out of a cage, he stepped nimbly and his body exuded a fierce aura.
Surrounded by a group of people and beasts, he was like a nimble monkey, moving easily between his opponents.
His hands and fists danced, allowing the unusual magical power of "Qi" to support and protect his body.
This allowed him to maneuver in the complex terrain destroyed by the "green syrup".
But if an enemy with a spear, javelin or javelin approaches, or if those unknown beasts bare their fangs at him, he will swing his fists.
The punch had such a powerful impact that the people besieging him had to take a few steps back.
In a fierce exchange of punches and kicks, General Paddy fought and ran, and finally reached a distance where it was unlikely to be captured again.
Before everyone could react, General Paddy jumped up and went away, disappearing from many people's sight like a flash of lightning.
His figure quickly shuttled through the woods like a cunning fox, leaving his pursuers behind.
Be it Anivia's bow and arrow, Bingnag's extremely wide-range frost spell, or the pursuit of those ferocious wargs, it seemed that they could no longer catch up.
The monk's skills were so agile and unpredictable when faced with this kind of terrain that required maneuvering and shifting.
And because it was not easy to hold the enemy back either in close combat or long-range combat, Anivia and several grenadiers who were chasing the enemy could only stop where they were and watch him go away.
But Abes spoke slowly at this time, "Hyounagi, you seemed surprised when you saw that he had the ability of a monk?"
"Maybe. I always thought that among the upper and middle classes in the small kingdom of Womuza, I was the only one with a background in the Three Eastern Kingdoms."
"He is just a monk, but he is not necessarily from the Three Eastern Kingdoms."
"Is that so..." The frost mage tilted his head and looked at the calm Abes, "You don't seem anxious at all."
Even if General Paddy's elite officers and non-commissioned officers were killed or surrendered here, a large number of their core talents were lost.
However, as he had already taken over Raven Castle and Mud City, he was still the most powerful warlord in the kingdom and still had a huge military force.
If he escapes back like this, how long can Tianye Town and the Royal Capital remain safe?
"Don't worry, he can't leave."
Abes waved his hand. He was not stupid enough to fight alongside the enemy wholeheartedly.
"Do you think I insisted on fighting alone with General Paddy because I was kind-hearted?"
A simple rune set like the Universal Rectifier would not take much time to record and engrave.
In addition to applications such as magic blast furnace and magic grenade, drawing directly on the surface of a living organism is also an excellent means of utilization.
It is precisely because of the good magical conductivity of living things that magic can so easily affect and harm living beings.
Before, when Abes used sound vibration to give the opponent the effect of blowing away the "green syrup", he also left half a set of Universal Rectifier rune sets with the same parameters as magic grenades on General Paddy's body.
And as he repeatedly mobilized the special magical power of "Qi" to strengthen himself, the time for detonation might have come.
What Abes had originally planned to guard against was the possibility that the opponent would use magic items to launch a sneak attack; however, he never expected that the opponent actually had a part-time job as a monk. This resulted in an arrangement to interrupt the use of magic items becoming a countdown to General Paddy's death.
"It's like a human grenade. I didn't intend to be so cruel. After all, if he was a warrior instead of a monk, it would be impossible for him to gather a large amount of magic power on his body, and there would be no way to detonate this thing..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the roar of a giant dragon was heard from the direction where General Paddy fled.
At this moment, the calm Abes finally took a deep breath.
what's the situation!
My own arrangement was intercepted by the dragon?
The giant dragon that was once witnessed by Cuiyang Village has not left too far?
Beside him, Anivia and Hibiki came over and said, "Lord Abes, was that dragon also arranged by you?"
----------
Fires burned and lava flowed.
This is what the North used to look like.
However, speaking at this moment, of course it can only be the Nine Hells.
Perhaps because of the influence of the 333 years of history of the sinking of the North, the buildings in the first level of the Nine Hells are no longer so scary and weird.
It is indeed still extremely beautiful in its brutality, but the basic structure of the halls and pavilions can also be seen.
The venue in front of us was made up of black, shiny stones, and every stone bench and table was covered with red flame patterns. These flames, driven by the souls of living things, burned endlessly.
Huge torches were suspended on the ceiling of the hall, emitting a faint red light.
The fuel inside seemed to be flesh and blood with bones, but from the common sense of the material plane, it was really weird that such burning flesh and blood did not emit the smell of protein.
The most important part of the field is the black stone bricks on the floor. Each brick is engraved with strange runes, exuding a mysterious power.
This huge set of interconnected runes is used to monitor the Three Plagues in the North.
Of course, it is not what the people in the North call weapons, snow, and demons.
But three things that even the devils are afraid of.
That is, giant dragons (true dragon species), giants, and demons that are equally huge, brutal and insane.
These three items are the three disasters written in the contract between the North and the demons.
As long as one of these three forces makes a comeback, they will have a reason to re-enter the northern border.
This is certainly a great facility. As devils who value contracts, they are keeping an eye on it all the time to ensure the fulfillment of the contract.
However, there is an invisible pressure at the scene at this moment.
All the devils, little devils, and Cambions present had serious expressions in their eyes.
The flames were burning, reflecting the stern faces of the two big demons at the front.
"That dragon...how's the signal?"
"It's still the same."
"Hey... why did this happen?"
In previous years, dragons have reappeared in the North.
But without exception, they were all quickly dealt with by the people of the North, leaving them with no reason to set foot in the North again.
And now, there is a signal of a giant dragon that has been existing for quite some time. Logically, the devils should be ecstatic, but why are they all looking so miserable?
The next second, the words of several higher-level devils revealed the truth of their distress.
"Why is there an abnormal signal? What happened to that dragon?"
"Not only is there something wrong with the dragon's signal, but the giant's signal, which has not appeared for many years, has appeared twice in the southeast corner of the North. But just like the dragon's signal, it is abnormally fluctuating and cannot be accurately locked. There are time limits, fluctuations that intervene and disappear... everything is like a ghost."
The demons' pupil-less eyes looked at each other.
"What a hell!"
