Chapter 1,230 The 2nd Wave of Conflict
,!
Ignoring how seriously Starina was injured and whether she was still alive. Azad just curiously looked outside the temple and said, "Hey, I seem to be here to find you. Hello~ Is that a stubborn old man outside? I admitted my mistake once, but I don't want to admit it a second time." Azad De first said to Lin, and then shouted outside.
Lin muttered to himself: "After waiting for so long, I thought there wouldn't be a second wave of trouble. It's just here now." In his environment detection perception, there were many people coming, divided into two groups. People should have different affiliations.
One group is all men, the other group is all women. The all-male team wore the same standard equipment as the emperor's personal guards they encountered before; although the all-female team had different equipment, their strength was not much inferior to that of the men. The similarity is that the two parties are staying at a considerable distance. If they want to attack, they have to run a long distance.
There was only one person provoking outside the temple, and he was undoubtedly a strong man. Although Starina takes the form of a human, the devil's strength does not differ based on its different forms. They change into different appearances, mostly to bring psychological pressure or for other purposes. And being able to beat a big demon to the point where there is only one breath left is something that only a strong person can do.
As for the fact that only one person came to provoke, maybe it was for the sake of the temple. Without looking at the other party, he only asked himself to go out, without barging in. Starina fell. Lin Ke didn't think that the guarding knights of the Muhashebeisi family outside could block the opponent. It was even a question of whether they would block it. Since no one could stop him or come in, only the difference between politics and religion in Midi made the other party have some scruples.
Don't look at the fact that the Goddess of Gold Coins is quite weak. Her temple located in the Imperial City of Nineveh has almost no defensive power. What kind of threat can a few old men and a group of young men bring? But as long as people from the empire are the first to break in, the first to jump will be the temples of other powerful gods. After all, as long as you get started, many things will fall into place.
Beat up a demon, no matter where the demon flies or what it crashes, neither party has anything to say. But if soldiers representing the imperial power step into the temple area, or if the templar warriors break into the palace without being summoned, it will be the beginning of a war. So both sides were quite restrained.
So, run? Now use Flash to go home and save trouble. But in Lin's heart, he still wanted to struggle to the death. Try to talk things out and see if you can resolve the hatred between the two parties. After all, being cared about by an empire would not be a good thing. The magician who thought this way stepped out.
The situation outside the temple was the same as what Lin had detected. The energy intensity of the warriors displayed by the emperor's personal guards blocking the entrance to the temple was much higher than that of other emperor's personal guards, and was already close to Azad's past level. Of course it cannot be compared with the current Demon Prince.
He was wearing an armor that looked similar to the magic equipment of the emperor's personal guards, but according to Lin's detection feedback, it was completely different. The armor of the strong man in front of him was much stronger than those mass-produced items. Even the giant sword he held in front of him and sheathed was more powerful than that held by the female warrior who was among the emperor's personal guards.
It was as if the person in front of him was the real thing, and the group of emperor's personal guards were just imitations.
Lin walked out of the temple and looked at the emperor's personal guards who came alone. It is guessed that the other party probably thought that there were too many people to deal with them, and was reluctant to use them as cannon fodder, so they threw the group of people far away. And he is quite confident in his own strength, and indeed has the capital to be so confident, so he dares to challenge alone and appear here.
Lin showed up and bowed respectfully. It is a good habit that someone has been taught since he was a child. Even when he came to the Lost Land, this attitude has not changed. Said: "My lord, I am the magician Guybrash Tripwood. I think there are some misunderstandings between us that need to be explained. Maybe you can give me a moment..."
The emperor's personal guard in front of him interrupted Lin's speech and said: "No need to explain, magician. You killed my granddaughter, and the only way to pay for it is with death." After saying this, he reached out and pulled out the giant sword in front of him.
So, is it considered a personal vendetta now? No more talking. Someone is helpless.
In Midi, a place where the law is not strong, conflicts of interest are easy to resolve, but personal vendettas are difficult to resolve. So Lin didn't plan to continue wasting words, but began to retreat, as if he was retreating closer to the temple to seek shelter.
"Don't try to escape!"
The person opposite shouted loudly, and his power rose sharply. The air around him was like a whirlpool, concentrating on him with him as the center. Lin's figure was immediately stagnated, unable to retreat any further. At the same time, the emperor's personal guard raised the weapon in front of him and was about to pull the giant sword out of its sheath.
When the sword was three points out, the magician he was staring at suddenly disappeared from his eyes. The next moment, the person was close in front of him. Holding a long sword with no harpoon and a broad blade, he slashed horizontally.
The old guard took advantage of the situation and pushed the half-drawn giant sword to the side, intending to parry the opponent's blow. With the power of the legendary weapon in his hand, he never thought that he would not be able to stop the opponent. The only thought in his mind was that if the opponent's weapon was of poor quality and was directly broken by the Vashi giant sword in his hand, he would push the sword and cut off the opponent's head.
He dared to fight directly because the old guard still remembered a piece of confidential information. People from the Holy Sword Society had already visited this magician. Although I later heard that other changes had occurred within the Holy Sword Club, the Hakiri weapon in the magician's hand had indeed been recovered. And this was something that Grand Duke Rizal was fueling, and the royal family just didn't stop it.
As for the weapon in the opponent's hand now, it looks very fancy, but how could it be the legendary weapon - the enemy of the Vashi Great Sword. This is a powerful weapon that has killed giant dragons and has the same name as the Dragon-Slaying Holy Sword.
But before the old guard could verify whether the weapon in the magician's hand was qualified to fight against the Vashi giant sword, a powerful blow came from his flank! He was kicked dozens of steps away. Fortunately, the giant sword was still tightly held in his hand, but the scabbard flew out in other directions.
Lin, who swung his sword in the air, maintained his posture and looked at Azad who was standing next to him and kicked the person away. He wanted to chase down the demon prince, but unfortunately, the sword of Haikiri Khan was suppressed by Haikiri Insado and could not be used.
Lin's face was calm, looking at the beautiful face that was almost cheek to cheek with his own. Azad rarely has a ferocious expression when killing people. He always wears a variety of sincere smiles, but this makes it even more unclear what he is thinking. When he saved another person with the same expression, Lin was also confused.
Lin asked: "Can you tell me why?"
"Oh, you still want to observe my behavior pattern?" Azad's arm muscles hidden under the red phoenix robe rose up, powerfully suppressing Haqiri Khan's attempt to counterattack.
"I've never seen you save anyone, nor heard any rumors about you saving anyone, so I'm curious."
Azad said with a bright smile: "If I said that only I can touch my toys, and if other people want to touch them, I will be very unhappy."
"I believe you. I have never seen you unhappy." The khan in Lin's hand was slightly raised, showing that under the blessing of magic, he used his strength to overpower Azad and took a slight advantage. Advantage.
"Okay, skip the unhappy part. But the idea that only I can move my stuff is true. So..."
"so?"
The conversation between the two was interrupted by another voice. The emperor's old guard struck the ground with his sword, propped himself up and said: "Your Highness, you should not come back."
Azad showed an impatient look of disgust and said: "Another one told me that I shouldn't come back. How about where I want to go today and where I want to stay, do I need your permission?"
Khan suddenly felt light in Lin's hand, and with the strength of his efforts to lift up, Hagiri, who had lost his control, was thrown into the sky. Although the weapon was not released, the balance of the body was slightly damaged.
Under normal circumstances, Azad would never let go of such an opportunity. There is no set of combos to chase and fight, at least it is just a punch and a kick. But this time, Azad didn't kill anyone. He increased his speed with all his strength and stabbed Insadu towards the old guard. The sword is so fierce, but it is rushing to kill people.
Perhaps it was because His Highness the Prince's offensive was reversed, which made the old guard's reaction a beat slower, or maybe Azad's speed was already so fast that it was hard to guard against. The old guard wanted to block with his sword, but the tip of Sadhu's sword was close to his eyeball. Push another three points and he will die through his brain!
The sword force stopped suddenly. The metallic coldness of the tip of Sadhu's sword seemed to reach his eyeballs, just so close.
However, this time, it was the Hakiri Khan in Lin's hands who stopped Insado. It just happened to get stuck on Insadu's sword, preventing the weapon from making another three points.
Azad asked curiously: "You don't want him to die, so why stop me?"
While tilting their heads to think, the weapons in their hands did not stop competing. Lin said: "Well, it's simple things that I can handle myself. I don't like to owe favors."
"What a nasty guy. He doesn't like to owe favors to others, but he spares no effort when selling favors to others."
In the process of complaining, Azad was not suppressed in vain. He flipped his flexible wrist, trying to get Insadu out of Khan's control, and stabbed the stubborn old man in his mouth from various directions.
Of course, Lin couldn't let such an act go. He also flipped his wrist, not only using Khan to restrain Insadu, but also taking advantage of Khan's sharpness to try to cut off a piece of Insadu's sword blade. Or they might seize the opportunity and try to kill the old guard quickly.
The swords of the two people stuck to each other and went back and forth. To someone, it looked like a push-hands sparring session in Tai Chi. It's just that the emperor's personal guard, who came alone to provoke him, pressed forward step by step. Of course the old guard didn't just stand there, waiting to be killed. He used his footwork and moved left and right, but the two swords were intertwined like snakes and never left his face.
Finally, while constantly retreating, the old guard found an opportunity and took advantage of the situation to use his sword. Vaxi's giant sword slashed from bottom to top, but it didn't swing open the two swords at once as expected. A single blow in the air left his middle door wide open.
If the opponent is mediocre, the old guard can regroup and fight the newcomer. He was full of strength and heart, and his chest was filled with the desire for battle and revenge. His beating heart transported hot blood to his limbs, urging him to kill people with his sword.
But the opponent is not mediocre! And there are two more. Khan and Insadu, one on the left and one on the right, one up and down, stabbed at the place beyond the reach of the old guard.
