Chapter 164 Collapse of Faith and New Faith
Looking at the Japanese players and NPCs around me who were constantly breaking away from the battle line and running away, I gradually stopped the crazy massacre of those people. Now scaring away more people will allow them to take away more people. As long as the Japanese players are completely defeated, our goal will be achieved, so there is no need to pursue these enemies who have started to escape. Of course, some special people still have to be taken care of, such as Ghost-handed Nobunaga.
Ghost-hand Nobunaga was still directing the Japanese players around me to besiege me, but suddenly he found that those people began to disobey him and kept running back. In desperation, he also took action and chopped down a few, but with little effect. The Japanese players kept running when they should, with no intention of stopping at all.
Originally, Ghost Hand Nobunaga was still trying to stop the escaping Japanese players, but when he was greeting the fleeing players from left to right, he suddenly saw me. At first, when I was besieged by many Japanese players, I was still far away from Nobunaga. But as those Japanese players began to flee, there was no obstacle around me, and I could naturally move towards Nobunaga. .
Suddenly I found that my eyes were focused on myself, and Nobunaga immediately felt all the hair on his body stand up. Now he didn't stop the people around him from escaping. Instead, he quickly turned over and jumped on a horse next to him. He didn't even have time to greet his men and started running with the crowd.
In addition to the previous members of the Sakura team, Ghost-Hand Nobunaga was originally with his group of die-hard loyalists. Just now, these people were busy helping Ghost-Hand Nobunaga intercept the fleeing Japanese players. Suddenly, Ghost-Hand Nobunaga was discovered. It was strange for Nobunaga to escape, but as soon as they turned their eyes, they immediately understood the reason why Nobunaga escaped, so no one needed to give an order. Each of these guys immediately released their mounts and jumped up towards them. Nobunaga chased after him with ghost hands.
In "Zero", having a mount and not having a mount are completely different concepts. Even if you have super mobility, except for a few elite assassins or ninjas, few people can actually compete on foot with even the lowest level of war horses. The mounts of Ghost-Hand Nobunaga and others cannot be the most rubbish war horses, so they are obviously much faster than the nearby Japanese players. The surrounding Japanese players were overtaken by Ghost-Hand Nobunaga and the others while running.
When those people first started running, they were intercepted by Ghost-Hand Nobunaga and his men. When they saw Ghost-Hand Nobunaga and the others running faster than themselves, they all pointed at Ghost-Hand Nobunaga angrily. They started to curse, but before they could curse a few words, they saw a black shadow flash past them and rush towards Ghost Hand Nobunaga and his group. At first, the group of people were shaken by the strong wind brought by the black shadow. However, when they opened their mouths to curse, they suddenly recognized the black shadow. As a result, the curses and curses on their lips were suddenly stuck in their mouths. The edge never appeared again.
The dark figure behind is of course me. Although the mounts ridden by Ghost Hand Nobunaga and others are not bad, there are two essential differences between them and me. First, although their mounts are not bad, they are only compared to ordinary mounts. Compared with Yeying, they are equivalent to the difference between civilian sports cars and Formula 1 racing cars. Maybe those luxurious civilian sports cars can be proud of any economical car, but compared with F1, it is an expensive toy and there is no comparison at all. Second, although Nobunaga and others were riding mounts, they were just riding. Ghost Hand Nobunaga's profession is an infantry combat profession. Although he can also use mounts, they are only used as vehicles. First, there is no flexibility, and second, there is no speed bonus. He purely relies on the power of the mount to run. . But I'm different. After the establishment of the Temple of Chaos and Order, I changed the profession of Demon Swordsman to Chaos Knight, and was later promoted to the branch profession of Judgment Knight. But whether it is a Judgment Knight or a Chaos Knight, it is certain that my main profession includes the Knight profession, and the knight's riding skills cannot be the same as the foot combat profession. Even the most common knight changes professions. If you succeed, you will have level three riding skills, and these three levels are additional levels. That is, other people's riding skills can be up to level 20. However, knight-type professions can directly upgrade their riding skills to level two without receiving any additional rewards. Level 13. As for my riding skills... I am currently at level 30. Of course, these thirty levels are not included in the system. Twenty levels are the default upper limit of riding skills in the regular system, and three levels are special rewards for the knight profession. In addition, my ruling knight profession has two additional levels of riding skills. OK, now you have level 25 riding skills. Finally, Yeying, as a special mount, comes with level three riding skills, which means that as long as a person sits on his back, he will immediately have level three riding skills. In addition, the saddle on Ye Ying's back is special equipment, plus a riding skill level. The iron palms under Ye Ying's feet are also special equipment, plus a riding skill level. This works out to be a level 30 riding skill.
Ghost-Hand Nobunaga and his gang of infantry want to compete on speed with me, a professional knight riding Night Shadow, on ordinary mounts? That is basically equivalent to a speedster with slightly better driving skills driving a civilian sports car and competing with a professional driver driving an F1 car. It would be strange not to lose in such a duel.
Ghost Hand Nobunaga and the others were riding their mounts in front and suddenly felt something was wrong, because the Japanese players around them were gradually moving away from them. At first, Ghost-Hand Nobunaga and the others were still worried about the defeated troops blocking the way in front of them, but now there was suddenly an extra road in front of them, which made them feel very strange. After all, broken troops are usually synonymous with being unorganized and undisciplined. You can't expect broken troops to make way for you just because you are of a high level, right?
Because they felt strange, Ghost Hand Nobunaga and the others looked back. It didn't matter if they didn't look back. They were immediately startled when they turned around.
"No, Ziri is catching up!" A member of the Sakura team shouted to Nobunaga.
Ghost-hand Nobunaga was also extremely nervous. At this time, he no longer cared about any image issues and directly ordered the people behind him: "Intercept him."
Those people who reminded Nobunaga of Ghost Hands just reported out of habit. They didn't expect Nobunaga of Ghost Hands to order them like this. As a result, they were immediately stunned, but after thinking about it for a while, they decided to obey. It's best to give Ghost-Hand Nobunaga's order. After all, I can kill them once at most. If I offend Ghost-Hand Nobunaga, they will be unlucky in the future.
In desperation, the two horses running at the back immediately slowed down in an attempt to block my pursuit. However, just when they were about to take action, I suddenly pinched Ye Ying's belly, and Ye Ying's speed increased sharply in an instant. He stood up and rushed past the two people. Before the two could make a further judgment, they found that there seemed to be some liquid flowing down their necks. They mechanically reached out and touched it. After checking it, I found that my fingers were covered in blood. The two people who reacted looked up at each other at the same time, and then their heads rolled down from their necks. The body without the head sat on the horse and continued to run forward for a while before falling off the horse one after another. At this time, I They have already caught up with Nobunaga and the others and are keeping pace with the last person.
Seeing me running to his side, the man who was running at the end immediately pulled out the long knife from his waist and slashed at me. I simply jumped up from Ye Ying's back with my feet and stepped on the knife that the man stabbed me. The back of the knife jumped directly onto the back of the horse in front. The Japanese player on the horse suddenly felt that there was someone behind him. He was so frightened that he quickly touched the knife, but I moved faster than him. Before he could take out the knife, I directly used the blade claw on his neck. I touched him, then slapped him on the head to make him fall on the horse. Then I stepped on his back and jumped up again to the back of an ugly war beast further ahead. The owner of this war beast noticed my movements when I killed the man behind him, so he had already put the knife in his hand. Now that he saw me jumping over, he immediately aimed it at my side. He took a cross-cutting posture and prepared to use the impact of my fall to cut me in half. Unfortunately, although his reaction was good, he underestimated my combat effectiveness.
Jumping in the air, I didn't even prepare to attack him. I directly aimed my right hand at his throat. I stretched out my palm and grasped it. With a whoosh, a crossbow arrow flew out of the Avenger and directly penetrated the guy's throat, knocking him off his mount. The top strap flipped down. After he dropped the war beast, I straightened up the hook and sickle gun in my hand, then held the gun with both hands so that the tip of the gun pointed downwards and used the impact of the fall to penetrate the whole head of the gun into the head of the war beast. The war beast that was sprinting at full speed lost its life in an instant. As soon as its legs softened, it was like a dog chewing mud and its whole body rolled forward and fell out. I used the power of his rolling swing to jump away from him again. Ye Ying, who had been running nearby, saw me jumping up and immediately a dream leap appeared where I was about to fall, caught me, then accelerated forward and rushed forward.
Originally, there were several large creatures running with the war beast, but after seeing me easily kill a companion, the war beasts all showed abnormal fear. Although war beasts are good at fighting and can be used as mounts, unlike war horses, these guys' IQs are too high, and things with brains generally know how to be afraid, so after seeing me easily defeating a similar creature, other war beasts immediately They began to want to escape. Even if the masters on their backs tried hard to pull them back, they still continued to run away from the running group of mounts and ran to both sides.
Ghost Hand Nobunaga looked back when he heard the loud noise of the war beast tumbling from behind. As a result, his hands shook in fright and he almost fell off his mount, because at this time he actually noticed that I was raising my hand. Aiming at him. The Avenger sniper crossbow on my wrist is very famous, not only because it is my weapon, but also because of its terrifying death penalty. Although the Avenger is a perverted weapon with ultra-long range, ultra-high accuracy, and ultra-fast shooting speed, these are not as famous as its three revenge arrows. Anyone who is hit by the Revenge Arrow will immediately lose two levels, and may even fail when resurrected. If he fails again accidentally, it will be equivalent to losing three levels at once, although it may not have a big impact on low-level players. , but for advanced players who have difficulty upgrading, the loss of two to three levels at a time is still quite serious. Besides, in addition to those revenge arrows, I also have three soul-chasing arrows. Level three has become level ten, and it also comes with automatic tracking capabilities. It can be said that this thing is the nemesis of advanced players. Unless you have the ability to shoot down soul-chasing arrows with weapons, don't expect to be able to escape. Even if these things are shot 'If they stray, they will keep going around in circles to find opportunities to attack again. They will never give up until they hit the target or are shot down.
How could Nobunaga not be afraid when he saw me holding the Avengers against him? But what frightened him even more was that just when he was looking at me, I actually activated the Avengers. He only saw a flash in the dragon head decoration above my wrist, and a golden light immediately shot towards him. He was so frightened that his grip loosened and he fell off his mount.
Falling off a horse while running at high speed is not fun. As soon as Nobunaga landed on the ground, he was crushed into a ball by the huge inertia and friction. He rolled and bounced on the ground and continued to rush forward. Still no intention of stopping, but the speed has slowed down.
Seeing Nobunaga's fall, I immediately urged Ye Ying to speed up and rush forward, but the crowd who had been guarding Nobunaga's side quickly moved towards me and tried to block my approach. They have now figured out that Ghost Hand Nobunaga is their backer. I can only kill them once, but Ghost Hand Nobunaga can influence their future development, so even if I kill him today, they must protect Ghost Hand Nobunaga.
"Watch the move from Purple Sun." A ninja who was the first to come up immediately imitated me and jumped up from his mount. Without even looking, I raised my hand and a crossbow arrow penetrated his throat. After that, the remaining power of the crossbow arrow was still there. He flew out with his body and fell to the ground. After bouncing on the ground a few times, the entity actually surpassed Nobunaga Ghost Hand before stopping. Ye Ying also simply jumped up and stepped on the horse that the guy abandoned. His back trampled the whole thing into the soil, and the huge inertia instantly caused the muscles of the mount to tear and shatter the bones, and we crossed the encirclement in one step and landed next to the ghost-hand Nobunaga. I raised my hook and sickle gun and pointed it at Nobunaga, who was thrown to pieces. However, before the tip of the gun touched him, I saw a person suddenly fly out from the side and hugged the hook and sickle gun. The gun tip tilted it to one side.
Although the man successfully took my gun head away, Eternity is not an ordinary weapon, it has a bunch of strike attributes. Although the guy carefully avoided the sharp blade, he was still hit by the red thunder and lightning above eternity, with smoke rising all over his body, and finally the whole thing burned with a bang. But this guy was tough enough. Even though his whole body was on fire and he was screaming miserably, he still held on to Eternity and wouldn't let go. I tried pulling twice but couldn't pull it out. The last time I even tried to pull the guy together. Even if he lifted it up, he could not shake him off the tip of the gun.
Normally it would be useless to cling to this guy for eternity, but now that he is surrounded by their people, I don't have that much time to compete with him in tug-of-war. Just when I was about to draw my gun for the third time, the people behind finally arrived. A Japanese samurai slashed directly on the handle of the eternal hook and sickle gun, then flipped his wrist and the long knife slid up along the eternal gun shaft. If he cuts it upwards like this, it will definitely cut into my hand, so I have to let go of Eternity.
As soon as I let go, a Japanese samurai next to me immediately hit Yeying's side with a shield. Ye Ying reacted quickly and turned around, drawing a beautiful U-shape with his neck downwards. The sharp horn on his head cut off the man's legs in an instant. The guy immediately fell in front of us, and Ye Ying Then he stood up with a neighing sound and then stamped down violently. His two hooves accurately stepped on the back of the guy's head and vest. In an instant, he flattened his chest and even his head exploded.
Trampling this guy to death wasn't enough. Ye Ying simply stepped on that guy's body and kicked him away from the ground at a fixed point. He kicked the person who had just forced me to let go of eternity and flew out. Then I stretched out my hand. As soon as I grabbed Eternity, I whipped the tail of the gun fiercely. The Japanese warrior holding Eternity had been completely charred. As soon as I exerted force, his body immediately shattered, along with some red color that had not yet been burned out. 'Spot of light, his body exploded into a pile of fly ash, and eternity returned to my hands.
Seeing that I had regained eternity, other Japanese players did not give up. A Japanese player holding a broadsword similar to the Qinglong Yanyue Sword bravely stepped on the kicked body of his companion and jumped up, waving the broadsword towards me. The forehead was split off.
Looking at the big knife chopped down from above, I immediately tried my best to pick it off in the air with my hook and sickle gun. After all, although his knife was not small, it was not as long as my hook and sickle gun, but I tried my best to use it. But I found that the gun head couldn't be lifted. At this time, I didn't have time to study why the gun couldn't be drawn. I simply pinched my wrist, and the tail of the hook and sickle gun immediately broke off into a small two-inch section, and the other section fell off. The eternity instantly turned into a liquid state and flew to my left hand like lightning. Then the eternally transformed liquid immediately covered my entire palm and turned it into an eternal protective layer. . After completing the protection of my left hand, I simply stretched out my left hand to catch the big sword that was struck head-on. The Japanese samurai was held in the air with the sword and could not fall down at all. In his surprised and frightened eyes, I suddenly exerted my strength, and there was a crisp sound. My five fingers actually penetrated the blade and penetrated into the body of the knife. Then the entire front half of the big knife shattered into pieces. A pile of debris.
The blade broke, and the warrior who lost his support immediately fell to the ground, but I didn't give him a chance at all. I didn't have time just now, but now I finally have time to take a look at what's going on with the hook and sickle gun on my right hand. As a result, when I turned around, I saw two weapons stuck on my hook and sickle gun, and because the other party was stuck behind the gun blade, Eternity did not cut off their weapons.
After seeing clearly the reason why the hook and sickle gun was stuck, I simply turned my wrist. The hook and sickle on the hook and sickle gun immediately rotated and swept one of the weapons, cutting it from the blade into two pieces. The other person was alone. I couldn't restrain my strength at all, so I exerted my strength, and the man flew out with his weapon. Then I held the hook and sickle gun and threw it directly from the right to the left to kill the falling warrior. He cut it in two at the waist, then turned his wrist again, flipped the hook and sickle, grabbed the guy's upper body and pulled it to the right, knocking the guy whose weapon was cut off before to the ground again.
Originally, the nearby Japanese players saw Nobunaga's fall and wanted to come over to help. However, when they saw me chopping up melons and vegetables, I knocked down all of Nobunaga's defenders. They were so frightened that they all quit the old village at once. Far away, even the people running behind me consciously bypassed the area where we were fighting. Most people did not dare to enter my attack range to help, because they all knew that they could only block me for a while. It's going to be over soon.
However, although most people have gone around, it seems that there will always be good people and evil people in this world, heroes and cowards are two groups of people that will never disappear. Although it seems that there are a bit more cowards among Japanese players at present, it cannot be said that there are no heroes among them, such as the guy before who would rather be burned to death than cling to eternity.
Seeing that all the guards of Ghost-Handed Nobunaga were finished, several brave Japanese players finally mustered up the courage to rush forward. Although they knew that they were no match for me, even though they knew that they were even worse than the killed guards, but They rushed forward anyway. But it's a pity that although these guys have a commendable spirit, reality is reality and will not change due to human will. I glanced at the few people rushing up and didn't bother to care about them. I waved my hand and a row of death guards immediately appeared in front of them to block them all.
Although I have sent out all the Death Guards in previous battles, the Death Guards are not invincible. Many have died after fighting for so long. But now I have sent out new Death Guards who have just restored their summoning number. , but the number is relatively small, but it is definitely enough to block these ordinary players.
Although Nobunaga's guards failed to stop me, their sacrifice at least bought Nobunaga time for him to get up from the ground. The first thing Nobunaga did after getting up after being knocked dizzy was to look for me. He found that I actually jumped off the mount and walked towards him. After that, the kid turned around and ran away in fright. There was no trace of the previous behavior. Arrogance. Think about how high-spirited this guy Nobunaga was when he first debuted? Although he has never defeated me since then, he has never been afraid of me at all. He is always fighting me tenaciously, but this time he was completely frightened. They failed to win under such advantageous conditions in the duel space. Even a madman like Nobunaga Ghost Hands would not be able to adapt to such a blow for a while, so now he has nothing to think about except running. Dare to think.
Looking at the ghost-hand Nobunaga who was stumbling and stumbling forward, I didn't even stride to catch up. Instead, I walked towards him step by step with my hook and sickle diagonally. On the way, there were also a few brave people who saw that Ghost-Handed Nobunaga was being driven away by me like this. It was so humiliating that they rushed up to block me. However, these people were just ordinary players, and none of them could stand a chance against me. No matter what weapon they use, or how they rush over, I just do one action: swing the gun - close the gun, and the enemy falls.
"Okay, that's enough, I really can't stand it anymore." Just as I was getting closer to Nobunaga, a figure suddenly appeared between me and Nobunaga, blocking me.
I stopped when I saw the person coming, then pushed up the mask and looked at him and laughed. "You are so heroic and courageous! These guys are ostracizing you in name, but you are still willing to stand up for them?"
The person who came was none other than Masamoto Matsumoto. As for the reason... I just discovered that killing Nobunaga is not as useful as Masa Matsumoto rescuing him in the long run, because Nobunaga has been scared out of his mind by me. Well, killing him again will not only increase his fear, but will reduce his fear of us. It's like a commonly used technique in torture. Use words or actions to let the victim know the torture and pain he will suffer, but don't actually destroy his body, so as to create the greatest mental pressure. After all, the human body has an upper limit, so there is always an upper limit to the pain that the body can convey to the brain, but there is no upper limit to the spirit. Let the other person feel fear, and then let him imagine the consequences of this kind of torture, the effect. Often more effective than actually torturing him. The same situation holds true for Nobunaga. Only by keeping the pressure on him can I crack down on his psychology and make him truly fear me from his heart. But as long as I really kill him, he may be frightened for a while, but after resurrection, he will soon figure out a lot. things and learn from them, that’s not the outcome I wanted to see.
In addition to not wanting to make Nobunaga's fear disappear, my other purpose is to make Nobunaga depend on Matsumoto Masa. That's right, it's dependence. Although Nobunaga Nobunaga and Masamoto Matsumoto have always been at odds, this is indeed an opportunity. As long as Masamoto Matsumoto saves Nobunaga Nobunaga this time, Nobunaga will be impressed deep in his memory with the impression that Matsumoto Masa is very powerful when Nobunaga's psychology is at his most fragile, although this impression may not immediately change Nobunaga. The relationship between Nobunaga Nobunaga and Masa Matsumoto, but it will subtly affect the behavior of Nobunaga Nobunaga, making him finally give up the confrontation with Masa Matsumoto and completely convince and even worship Masa Matsumoto. By that time, Masa Matsumoto's technology No longer deliberately improving his status in the minds of Japanese players, he will be able to easily lead players all over Japan.
Masamoto Matsumoto stood in front of the frightened Nobunaga and said to me: "Purple sun. I admit that we failed this time, and it was a complete defeat, but we will not give up. It is impossible for our great Yamato nation to Conquered. You can snatch our land, you can dig up our resources, but our spirit cannot be conquered. As long as we are still there, as long as our warrior soul is still there, we will definitely be able to drive you away. out of our country."
"So? Do you want me to give up chasing you based on this?"
"No." Masamoto Matsumoto said firmly: "I am not talking to you, but to the tens of millions of warriors of the Yamato nation." At this point, Masamoto Matsumoto suddenly raised his lamp-like light Shenjian shouted loudly to the surroundings: "Listen to all Japanese players, evacuate here immediately. I will lead my people to stay and cut off the back for you. Don't stop and run backward. How much can be withdrawn? One day we will Win."
Matsumoto Masa's declaration was almost like a heavy hammer hitting the hearts of all the Japanese players present. Almost at the same time, these people stopped and turned around and bowed to Matsumoto Masa before running away in tears. Those were not tears of sadness or fear, but regret. It was regret that they had not listened to Matsumoto Masaru's words before and turned a good counterattack plan into what it is now. Tens of millions of Japanese players lost their armor and retreated. This result was not because of Nobunaga's bewitchment, nor because of anyone's instigation, but because of their own greed. Yes, because of greed, for sharing so many benefits, for such a small advantage, in the end, not to mention receiving benefits, I am afraid that now I don’t even know whether the next counterattack can be launched.
With infinite regret, these Japanese players retreated back together with the NPC troops, but a winding human wall was strangely left on the battlefield. These are markedly different from those who retreated. Although their number was small, they were well-equipped and energetic. At first glance, they were more than one level more elite than that group of deserters. However, even the most elite ones are useless now because they are too few in number. The thin winding line on the battlefield is only two or three people thick. It is not even a line of defense because it is too thin. However, it was this line of defense that blocked our pursuing army, not because of their combat effectiveness, but because of their spirit.
Of course, the above is actually all superficial. No matter how awesome the spirit is, it can make people explode, but no matter how explosive a person is, he is still a human being, he cannot become a superman. The few people Matsumoto Masa congratulated, let alone blocking our army, just wanted to delay a little bit. It was probably a dream. The reason why we stopped here was entirely because I asked Rose to bring a group of senior players who knew the inside story to force the team. Pressed down. There are my people on both sides of the battlefield. Isn't it easy to put on a show for others?
In fact, the fact that I am asking these Matsumoto Masagi's men to show this spirit is not just acting. We also have a deeper purpose to awaken the fighting spirit of Japanese players and cheer them up. That's right, just cheer them up and give them confidence. Someone may ask, haven't you been destroying the confidence of the Japanese before? Why build confidence in them now? In fact, this question couldn't be simpler. Whether it's to knock their confidence or build it, it's all for our benefit. The purpose of destroying the confidence of the Japanese before was to prevent them from being blindly arrogant and launching a counterattack in advance, but now to build confidence in them is because the previous purpose has been achieved, the Japanese are already retreating, and we will need them to be destroyed later. Later, Masaga Matsumoto led a counterattack and "snatched" control of all of Japan from us. And after they completed this first step, Masaga Matsumoto had to lead Japanese players to serve as our pawns. Fight against other countries for us. If we destroy all the confidence of Japanese players now, what if they don't dare to attack later? Even if they participate, if they lack confidence when fighting other countries, their combat effectiveness will decrease. Doesn't that mean it affects our interests? Therefore, in order for our future pawns to move forward bravely, we must regain their confidence now.
