Chapter 1,353 Killing

Although this army is not a regular army, it can only be regarded as the private army of the nobles. But they can hold swords and armor openly and appear on the streets of Neuquén Imperial City, which is something worth pondering. Imperial power in the Karlsruhe Empire had shrunk to such an extent.

Lin, hiding in the night starry sky, thought so.

The reason why he did so many 'performances' before, including the magic circle above the guest house and the various actions before setting up the night, were actually just small means to hide his clumsiness and prevent others from finding out the limits of his abilities. As long as there is an opportunity to arrange arrangements, Lin will not hesitate to play a safe hand.

But now it seems that the long-term poor performance is not conducive to achieving a great reputation. There are really too many unscrupulous fish that come to trouble me.

Just like the army in front of them, if they were placed elsewhere, such as compared with militia groups from certain villages and towns, they would be considered well-equipped and well-trained. But compared with the regular empire-level legions that someone has seen, there is still a gap. As for the difference, a certain military idiot said he didn't know since he had never seen them fight.

The seemingly dark and foggy area in front of us was not so friendly to the soldiers who were walking inside.

Because this thick layer of fog was like a very clear boundary of the world, no sound came from inside. Even after the companion in front stepped into the thick fog, the people behind him could not see the figure in front of him, even if he was only three or two steps away from him.

Such anomalies made the soldiers even more nervous, but the reward also urged them to move forward. Whenever this noble man who often serves as temporary commander says something like that, the reward given is really generous. It is precisely because of this that this ragtag group is useful in the eyes of the nobles of the empire.

But they never thought that Lin was given a cruel instruction in the night sky that unfolded this time. All living creatures that enter the night area without authorization will be strangled!

So when soldiers entered the night starry sky, they could clearly see the guesthouse building that was originally shrouded in black fog, but they did not see the soldiers who entered before, and of course they did not see the magician who was the target. The unusual thing is that the ground the boots stepped on felt like stepping into a pile of mud.

The next moment, countless criss-crossing dazzling white lights cut the soldiers who entered the night into pieces!

The originally upright human body collapsed like a pile of pushed over building blocks and scattered all over the floor. Not only were the bones and flesh chopped into fine pieces, but also the armor and weapons on the body had the same fate. And these tiny pieces were washed away by the blood that was spilled at the same time, and then spread in all directions.

Because the night starry sky blocks sight and sound, people outside are not aware of this cruel scene and just keep entering. The soldiers who entered later were also feeling uneasy and had no idea what they were about to face.

There is also a most elite team among them. Because they knew there was a magician among their opponents, the team was equipped with a full set of magic armor and weapons. The armor focuses on magic resistance, and ordinary fireballs and lightning strikes cannot hurt them. Weapons focus on destroying magic and are specially used to destroy magic shields. They are the best weapons against magicians.

But such a small team entered the night sky and could not change their fate. They, like hundreds of other colleagues who stepped into the night sky, became a mess. With their comrades, we are in the mud, and you are in the mud. We can never be separated from each other.

The strangeness of this layer of 'black mist' did not arouse anyone's wariness. But the nobles who took the lead stubbornly and loudly announced that it was just a cheap cover-up. In terms of the number of enemies and ourselves, their one-thousand-man brigade has an absolute advantage.

The few officers who were close to the noble knew clearly that the noble had to show such a strong attitude to strengthen everyone's confidence. It's better than him holding back and letting the soldiers become timid. And their duty is to make suggestions when it is confirmed that something cannot be done to prevent losses from continuing to expand.

But it's not that time yet. The situation of the black fog that can only be entered but not exited is worrying. But according to the scope of the black fog, and the location and size of the guest house. If the soldiers who entered first successfully entered the building, there would indeed be enough space for subsequent personnel to enter.

So, does this mean the battle went smoothly?

But does anyone remember that the magician seemed to have said before entering the black mist that as long as more than half of them were sacrificed, he would kill everyone?

This is what he meant by threat. Speaking of this threat, the number of soldiers entering the black mist was already close to five squadrons. So what happens next?

Several rational officers who acted less impulsively suddenly thought of this matter. But what they didn't expect was that when soldiers from five squadrons entered the black mist, the black mist expanded instantly and enveloped them.

At this time, they also noticed that the black mist was not completely black and they could not see their fingers. Instead, there is a minimum light source so that they can see things. But they were suddenly enveloped inside, and their eyes couldn't adapt to the difference in brightness between the daytime and the outside. Some people squinted, and some simply stretched out their hands to cover their eyes.

Then, a burst of intersecting white light like a net became the last thing they saw. No matter how many magic items he had on his body, he couldn't withstand this high-temperature, high-energy, numerous and intensive line-cutting attack. This group of unknown soldiers and noble officers, like the previous soldiers who took the initiative to enter the night starry sky, became a mess of meat mixed with plasma.

After the attack, the magic of the night sky quickly closed in, and the area around the guest house returned to a clear and sunny appearance. In the Karlsruhe Empire, it is very rare to have such weather in late autumn.

But the situation on the ground is not so friendly. Near the guest house, there were nearly a hundred mutilated bodies and limbs that had been strung together like meat skewers. Farther away, the original position of the noble private army and the front seemed to be covered with a red carpet. The bright red color only gives people an ominous feeling. If you get closer, you can even faint from the pungent smell.

The spies who were hiding around and observing the fighting in the guest house were all shocked by the scene in front of them.

Encouraging an impulsive guy to come forward is a common method used by many people. In fact, there were many soldiers from other families in that thousand-man brigade. Otherwise, the person taking the lead alone would not be able to form a large team.

Although the strength of the private army is not as good as the same number of regular legions, the force provided by the nobles is also better than that of ordinary adventurers or mercenaries. Using such strength to attack sixteen elves and one human magician should be an easy task when the other party is being harassed all night long.

But the outcome of this mission was something no one expected. The thousand-man brigade was wiped out, but the target was unscathed...

In comparison, the miscellaneous troops sent out to attack the guest house last night achieved relatively great results. At least they destroyed a small part of the guest house, and judging from the appearance and number of the elves when they went out to demonstrate with corpses, some of them should have been injured, and some might even have died.

The loss of such a large team can be said to be very debilitating for the forces behind it. No matter how low the imperial power is, Neuquén Imperial City is not a place where private armies gather and fights break out from time to time.

And although this brigade was 'made together', it had uniform equipment and training. You can imagine how much effort the people behind it put in. Now, it's all gone...

Such news was quickly passed on to people who were concerned about the war situation in the guesthouse. And a small group of people who were paying attention to the magician remembered a rumor they had seen.

The Vader Military State, one of the five great empires, listed the magician on the purple-level list. And what does the purple list mean? This means that unless the target has clear malicious behavior against the military state and may lead to the destruction of the country, no matter what the target does, the military state will ignore it. Simply put, I can't afford to offend you, so I can take a detour.

Of course, the gods are on the purple-level lists of all empires, and there are also some Abyss Lords who have reported to Midland. The Dharma Saint may not be eligible to be on this list unless the opponent's five-story magic tower is built within the country's borders. But the magician went in. Not only the Vidal Military State, but also the Gwana Empire.

The reason is that according to rumors, the magician once instantly destroyed a brigade of the regular army of the military in a public place. Because the news was too exaggerated and the place where it happened was too far away to be verified, most of the nobles who heard it took it as a way to ridicule the Vader military empire, mocking the other party for not being worthy of joining Karlsruhe in the top five empires.

But now it seems...that rumor is very likely to be true. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how the losses on one's side were caused.

Then, before and after the black fog occurred, abnormal phenomena occurred around the guest house. And everything that the magician did since he walked out of the guest house and was exposed to the public eye was placed on the head of the magician related to these nobles.

Everyone's idea is very simple, this kind of strategic level magic must have its symptoms. As long as these things can be confirmed, then there is a chance to stop the magic before it is activated, which is more secure than resisting the magic.

Not mentioning the deeds of those hiding in the dark, Lin returned to the guest house after finishing his work. All the elves stared at him with strange eyes, except for the blind girl Miriam.

The elves know that this magician is a human being who is on an equal footing with their Majesty the World Tree. But in the eyes of outsiders, his performance has always been that of a wisdom that is completely different from other people and is worthy of people taking a high look. When it comes to being able to fight, most people still focus on the companion who may be the demon king from thousands of years ago. No one thought that the other party was really dangerous.

Only when you reach the level of people like Miriam, Azad, and William Greco can you judge a person's level from his essence. In their eyes, it's like looking up at an elephant at the height of an ant. They couldn't explain the reason for this feeling, and certainly couldn't warn others.

Probably only Fen knows where someone's temperament comes from. Originating from the eighteenth-level inverted plane tower where lives are intertwined, that is the true self of this man. Because Fen himself is also a 'person' at this level.

Not God, but still on par with God. Except for the godhead that embodies the faith of the human heart, they are no different from gods.
