Chapter 979: A Slight Difference, a Thousand Miles Wrong
It's a joke, it's a joke, it's unscientific. ..m
In fact, the details are not so much that everyone can't believe their own judgment, but that they can't believe that Meris will miss and release such an inauspicious move.
The two statements may seem similar, but in fact they are quite different. At least judging from the fact that Tang En would rather stay where he is than immediately teleport away from the place where this is wrong with Josiah and others, it can be seen that although his tone is uncertain on the surface, in fact, his judgment about himself is still in his heart. Pretty sure...
This is the fact. The moment the powerful sword light struck down, Tang En was sensitive to the fact that the sword power seemed to be a little off.
Don't underestimate this gap. You must know that the distance between Meris in the air and the town on the ground is more than ten thousand feet away? At such a huge distance, even if the initial deviation is only one point, when it actually lands on the ground, it will be at least a huge difference of several miles.
This is the so-called principle of a slight difference and a thousand miles of error.
Of course, the above is just Tang En's personal judgment, and no conclusion can be drawn until the actual situation is settled.
Facts always speak louder than words.
So, the sword light fell, and the truth came...
Boom——Boom——Boom——
Suddenly, a strange semicircle composed of black and white lights appeared on the ground, spinning and spreading. In just a short breath, it was like a wild beast opening its bloody mouth, swallowing up the surrounding land and large tracts of maple forest in an instant. Countless fallen maple leaves, as red as blood, were flying in the sky, like birds in the forest, fleeing in panic. But it only flashed for a moment, and then it was dragged into a strange semicircle, torn into ashes, and disappeared in an instant... This kind of terrifying power has truly broken the sky and shattered the earth. It is like a doomsday natural disaster. Mortals are tossed in it, and the only way out is to perish. !
Fortunately, the sword slash landed in the red maple forest on the south side of the town, so it naturally could not hurt Tang En and others at the venue in the center of the town. But it won't hurt. It doesn't mean there is no impact at all.
In fact, as soon as a violent explosion like thunder was heard, the earth trembled, and a large number of buildings collapsed in the already dilapidated town. Especially the area south of the town near the explosion point. At first glance, it was a smooth road, with almost no intact wall still standing. Ruins are everywhere, and the mess is unsightly.
Fortunately, the pressure came before. Most of the town residents have evacuated the buildings and gathered in open spaces such as streets and squares. So although there are constant screams now, there are not many casualties, which can be considered a blessing in misfortune.
When the tremors on the ground subsided a little, they were replaced by rolling air waves. Most of them soared into the sky, roaring towards the boundless sky, displaying their lewd power. A small amount of air waves rolled and overflowed under the pressure, swallowing up the surrounding red maple forest in an instant, and also rolled up in the sky above the town.
Boom boom boom - now it's better, no one in the town needs to envy anyone, and no one has to blame anyone. Because all the buildings and houses collapsed. Including the beautiful negotiation venue that was built in a hurry... "Your mother... is worried that our death will not be thorough enough!"
After confirming that the sword light was deflected, Tang En naturally pulled David and others out of the space channel immediately. After all, this thing is not a universal shelter. As long as the external force is stronger, such as the remaining power of this sword move, it is enough to twist and collapse the space channel.
As soon as David and others walked out of the space channel. As far as the eye can see, there is this shocking scene like an earth dragon turning over. He opened his mouth and was stunned for a moment and couldn't speak. Thinking about the tragic consequences if the sword light had not missed the target, I was even more frightened.
Harry swallowed hard and made a gulp sound. Subconsciously, he replied in a trembling voice: "How can we be more thorough? Let alone the bones, I'm afraid even the bones and ashes will be gone."
Everyone nodded in unison and silently agreed.
In fact, if Wan Jun's sword light had not cut off the target, the red maple town under his feet would have been completely wiped out and become history, let alone people.
fine. Just like there is no regret medicine to sell, there are not so many ifs in this world.
If you cut it off, you will cut it off. The sword comes and goes quickly. Although the strange black and white semicircle is still spreading wildly and its terrifying power is irresistible, its expansion momentum has slowed down. Based on a simple estimate, it is obvious that it cannot cover the small town.
Tang En raised his head again. After slashing his sword in the air, Meris showed no sign of raising his sword to attack again. Instead, the giant body standing up to the sky quickly faded, revealing the pale sky behind it...
After a while, a gust of cold wind blew by. The strange black and white semicircle, the fallen messenger Meiris, and the breathless terrifying pressure before, etc., all disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
Of course, when people die, they leave their names, and when geese pass by, they leave their voices. Although these things have disappeared, the traces are still there.
Not to mention the unbearable ruins everywhere now, nor to look at the small town residents who have lost their homes and are mourning and crying. Everyone who could still stand silently found a place to stand and looked to the south of the town.
I saw,
The characteristic of the small town, the large tracts of red maple leaf forest have completely disappeared, and not even a few traces of residual leaves can be seen. Instead, there was a 90-degree steep ravine that looked like it was being cut with a sword or an axe.
In other words, the small town that was originally located on the plains and wilderness has now reached the edge of cliffs and peaks and has become a standard dangerous place!
Because of the angle, no one here could fully see the depth of the ravine. However, based on the simple inference of the huge movement before, we also know that it must be a bottomless abyss. And even if the depth cannot be known, just from the seemingly endless length and width of the ravine, which is at least more than ten miles long and wide, we can get a glimpse of the supreme and terrifying power of the previous ten thousand swords!
If you want to know the entire scope of the Red Maple Town at your feet, it is only more than ten square miles. In other words, once the sword is struck, the boundless and bottomless ravine in front of you will be the current situation of the town...
"Light, Ming, God, Palace!" One word after another, a royal priest was frightened when he saw this, and gritted his teeth, "This great enmity will be recorded. When we go back..."
"Go back? Can we still go back? Ahem... I'm fine. You go and see how the Sirs are doing..."
The second prince, who had fainted previously, had been revived. He looked gloomy and coughed, but it seemed that there was no big problem. After standing up, he waved his hands and pushed away the royal ministers supporting him. He still had time to pay attention to the members of the noble negotiation team who collapsed on the ground not far away.
This also reminded everyone here, Tang En and Joshua, who quickly walked down the ruins to check on the senior generals of the Gray Army who were also unconscious.
"I'm sorry. Your Excellency Tang En, Miss Joshua. This incident..." After a pause, the second prince walked over and sighed and bowed, "It was my fault that I misunderstood others and caused everyone to encounter such disasters."
Upon hearing this, Tang En and Joshua looked at each other, and then looked at the second prince who looked gloomy and depressed. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
From the mouths of the previous red archbishops. They also knew that this incident was not to blame on the second prince, but on the deliberate planning of the Temple of Light. certainly. It is impossible to say that the second prince has no responsibility at all. After all, they were the ones who brought the people here. Although it was unintentional, they did act as real accomplices without knowing it.
But now that Tang En and Joshua are being criticized and reprimanded, it's really hard to curse them. Because according to the previous conversation between the other party and the red archbishop, the second prince in front of him is really a pitiful man. Not only was he secretly tricked by the temple, but it also sounded like he was involved in the struggle for imperial power and the tragic experience of brothers killing each other...
This should be what the second prince said just now. The real meaning of ‘can we go back’.
After hesitating for a while, Joshua coughed twice and replied: "Ahem, His Highness the Second Prince is in serious condition. You don't know about this, it's the temple..."
"Miss Josiah needs no comfort." He waved his hand to interrupt, and the second prince took a deep breath and said. "Whether I know about this or not, it is always true that the fault lies with our empire. Well, don't worry, the negotiation agreement between us is still valid, and the agreed funds for the relevant materials have been mobilized before, and will still be I'll leave it to you, the Gray Army."
"Uh..." Joshua was stunned. Looking at the serious-looking second prince, he couldn't help but be stunned and speechless.
On the side, Tang En was also slightly stunned when he heard this, and then nodded slightly, looking at the second prince with a hint of appreciation.
Putting aside their respective positions, these two princes are definitely capable of doing great things, with extraordinary methods and mentality.
You must know that this time is different from the past, to say the least. Whether or not His Royal Highness the Second Prince's noble status is still a question is a question. To put it bluntly, given the second prince's current embarrassing status and location, it is reasonable for the gray-clothed army to take care of him.
But even in this precarious situation, the first thing he thought of was to fulfill the agreement and keep the promise-leaving aside everything else, from the perspective of the overall situation, he is an extremely smart talent!
This approach is not only based on the overall interests of the empire, but also stabilizes the Gray Army and eliminates the hidden danger of the latter attacking the south of Bran again due to revenge. He also took the opportunity to make friends with the Gray Army, forming a friendship that shared weal and woe, leaving a way out for himself. I believe that after this incident, even if the two princes return to the south and the situation in the fight for the imperial throne is unfavorable, the Gray Army will be embarrassed to take advantage of the situation again, at least they will not attack the two princes now.
How can you not like this clever approach that kills two birds with one stone?
Of course, there was no reason for Josiah to refuse. After all, it was the meat of his mouth, so he would not give up easily.
And on the one hand, there is intention and on the other hand, there is affection, and the final ending is naturally a hit-and-miss.
After deciding on this matter, the second prince would certainly not stay in this place for a long time. However, when he was saying goodbye, the corner of his eye glanced at several red archbishops sitting on the ground, dumbfounded. His eyes suddenly flashed, he paused, pointed at the latter and said: "Miss Josiah, How about leaving these guys to me... Well, you know, I need to know some information from them."
Of course, this is not a problem. Anyway, no matter whose hands these people fall into, their fate is destined. But before Josiah could nod in agreement, Tang En took over the conversation first and said: "Just in time, I also want to know the reason why the fallen messenger missed just now, and where the elite mage group of the temple is located... Well, Why don't we go and ask together? Haha, my method of extracting a confession is pretty good."
The second prince was stunned when he heard this, and then chuckled: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Tang En."
"No trouble, this is a good thing that you can't find even with lighting crystals..."
