Volume 20, Chapter 133: Invasion of the Poseidon Pillar
Because of the careful planning, we moved fairly quickly. [ | ]Due to his personality, Exus did not like the Archon, and even hated him a little, but despite this, Exus was forced to follow him out. No matter what, the consul is still his equal on the surface. Even if he doesn't like him, as long as he doesn't completely fall out, he still has to pretend on the surface. Exus is just relatively simple, not really stupid, so he still knows a little bit about courtesy exchanges.
After the Archon deceived Exus away, the most powerful person in the entire Poseidon Palace became Kameda. Exus's group of men usually operate in the military camp except for a few sentries, so the coverage area is very small. In addition, Exus did not know that something was going to happen, so he did not give them any instructions. Although the Archon is not a military attache, he manages the entire Sea Emperor Palace after all, so he also has a small number of armed personnel. And unlike Exus's subordinates, the Archon's subordinates all know the general plan. Of course, all they knew was that someone wanted to enter the pillar, and that the other party was an ally of the Archon. They were not qualified to know other details.
In such a situation where one knew and the other did not know, the people in the consul were naturally more confident, and with the presence of Kameda, a noble guy, the guards guarding the Sea Emperor Palace did not dare to intercept us, and even We were let in without even asking.
The patron saints of the Seven Seas Divine Pillar did not enter the Poseidon Palace with us, but entered the Poseidon Palace from different directions after we entered. Because Exus, the center of the garrison, was not there, although the guards between the gates sent a notice to the headquarters after seeing the patron saint of the Seven Seas Pillar arriving, because Exus was not there, no one had any information. You have no right to read these things, so the message is stuck at this link.
No one stopped us and our plan went smoothly. After entering the Poseidon Palace, we quickly arrived at the "Square" behind Boseidon's palace, where the main Poseidon Pillar stood. However, Kameda's authority has been exhausted here. The maids and servants in the Kaihuang Palace all respect Kameda, but the top one here is from Exus, so Kameda The command is simply useless here. Of course, although the guards here will not obey Kameda's orders, they still have basic respect. After all, they also know Kameda's identity, and the relationship between Exus and Kameda is pretty good, so Exus's subordinates naturally have a higher degree of recognition of Kameda, usually as long as they don't violate the principles. It's okay to ask them to be accommodating, but it's a bit troublesome to enter the Poseidon Pillar.
I left the twenty-one Poseidon Pillar Guardians outside the hall, preparing to intercept Exus and the reinforcements who might return at any time. I went with Bo Saidon, Kameda, and Bo Saidon's maid. After entering the square, we came to the bottom of the Poseidon Pillar.
Kameda’s mission is to use his connections and power to try to find a way to let us in, and if that doesn’t work, I will be the armed insurance. As for Bo Saidon’s shrine maiden, her mission is mainly to increase Kameda’s credibility. , after all, she is Boseidon's personal maid. Although she has no apparent rights, you must not underestimate her. After all, she is the closest person to the Emperor of the Sea. What she says at the right time sometimes Even more useful than what the patron saint of the Seven Seas Pillar said, this is her invisible strength. In addition, this shi maid actually has the ability to be invisible in addition to the ability to be invisible, because she is actually a level 3,000 divine guard. In other words, if we really get into a fight, she can even fight me for eighteen rounds and then escape unscathed. After all, she is Poseidon's personal servant. Anyone who thinks that she is just a silly girl who can act cute is really stupid.
Wow. As soon as we walked in front of the Poseidon Pillar, one of the few guards, a small boss who looked very well equipped, came out and blocked our way. He first saluted Kameda, then looked at Bo Seidon and me, and finally asked: "I wonder what Kameda-sama is...?"
"Oh, that's it." Kameda moved Seidon to the front, and then said: "It was Seidon-sama who asked me to take this person to complete the naturalization procedures."
The so-called naturalization of the God Clan is not to register a household registration, but to separate part of your divine soul into the core of divine power. From then on, you are a member of this God Clan. When this kind of thing is going on, the protoss must be close to the core of divine power. As for whether the main god who controls the core of divine power is present or not, it doesn't really matter. The devouring of divine soul by the core of divine power is an instinctive behavior and can be completed automatically without manipulation. But because the core of divine power itself is so important, even though the Lord God does not need to be personally responsible for this kind of thing, the Lord God will definitely be present. It is for this reason that Kameda brought Bo Saidon to pretend to be a naturalized protoss today. It can be said that it is both in compliance with the regulations and in violation of the regulations.
When the guard heard that she was naturalized, he thought it was a valid reason, but he still felt that it was not appropriate to let us in, so he asked: "If she is naturalized, what does she do?" The guard pointed at me and asked.
Before Kameda could speak, I spoke first: "I am a friend of Bo Seidon, but today I mainly escort her here. You just need to take her in. I will wait here."
Since I said I wouldn't go in, the guard had nothing to say. After all, he was just a guard of the divine pillar, not a palace guard. As long as I didn't get close to the divine pillar, he had no right to interfere.
"But Kameda-sama. You should know the rules better than me. Invasion can be justified even if Seidon-sama doesn't come in person, but at least you can't violate the rules set by him? According to the regulations, you have to enter the Poseidon Pillar. If not If your lord comes in person, you, the consul, and our marshal must be present together. But now you just come here by yourself and ask me to let you in? If you are alone, I will still be accommodating, but You still have to bring someone in. Even if she is naturalized, she is not one of ours yet, and even if she is naturalized, she is just a little god who just joined our Poseidon family. How can I just let her into Poseidon? column?"
Kameda, who was well prepared, immediately put on a bitter face after the guard finished speaking and said in a very aggrieved tone: "Do you think I want it? Mr. Seidon asked me to take her to naturalize. How can I ask Mr. : Why don't you go by yourself? Isn't this asking for death? We must handle the task well after receiving it. This is our duty as ministers. Of course I know the rules you mentioned, but when I ran to the consul, I learned that he had gone I went to find your marshal, and then I hurried to your barracks, but your adjutant said that your marshal and the consul had left the city together, and I didn't know which direction they went. What do you think I can do?"
When the guard heard this, he felt that this matter was really helpless, but rules are rules, and it was Kameda who was in trouble now, not him. If he let Kameda in because of this, he would be the one who was in trouble. After all, no matter what, breaking the rules is breaking the rules, which is a serious crime.
"Master Kameda! I also know that you are helpless like this, but I am also helpless! Your Majesty's rules cannot be changed, and we really have no choice! If it doesn't work, why don't you go back and ask Mr. Seidon first? Can you personally issue a warrant or something?"
"Warrant?" Kameda was obviously stunned, and Boseidon and I were also stunned for a moment, because we actually forgot that there was such a way.
Although Seidon is the supreme leader of the Poseidon Clan, she can't possibly tell the soldiers everything in person, right? Therefore, in addition to sending cronies to deliver orders, the most useful thing is the warrant. The warrants of the gods are runes written with the divine power of the Lord God. Because the divine power flows differently, it is basically impossible to forge, and it is easy to use, safe and guaranteed. Although Bo Seidon's image has changed now, she is still herself after all, and her magical power has not changed at all. In other words, she can still write out the warrant thing. It's a pity that we actually forgot about this, otherwise we wouldn't have spent such a big deal!
After being stunned for a moment, I quickly inserted myself between Kameda and the leader to block Kameda, and then said loudly: "We have the warrant! When I came out, I clearly saw Lord Bo Saidon writing a warrant for Kameda. , Kameda must have forgotten it, we will show it to you right now."
While I was talking, Bo Saidon reacted very quickly and took a step towards Kameda and quickly wrote a warrant on his palm with divine power. Because the warrant only has one symbol, and all the contents are instilled with divine power, it can be written very quickly. I finished one sentence and Bo Seidon finished writing it.
After hearing what I said, the guard over there realized that I had actually blocked Kameda. He was a little angry immediately, but before he could get angry, Kameda had already reached out and pulled me aside, and then showed the warrant on his palm. He said: "Look, I have a warrant, but I forgot it at first. If you had told me earlier, I would have shown it to you."
Originally we thought that the guard would let us in after seeing the warrant, but who knew that the guy was startled after seeing the warrant, then took a big step back and shouted at the same time: "Stop them, these guys are enemies !”
The sudden change stunned us all, even Boseidon was dumbfounded. The warrant was written by her herself, and her divine power was certainly not wrong, but after reading it, the guards actually said that they were enemies. This change was so unexpected that even Boseidon was confused.
"Hey, this warrant was clearly written to Kameda by me after seeing Bo Seidon. How could there be any problem? Did you read it clearly?"
Although I questioned the guard, the guard had no intention of putting down his weapon. Instead, he said proudly: "I don't know how you faked Lord Seidon's power, but there is one thing you can't deceive me. If the warrant in your hand is really given by Lord Boseidon, then it is impossible for Kameda to go to the consul and our marshal, because only one warrant is enough."
When I heard what the other party said, I wanted to refute, but to my surprise, the other party immediately continued: "Even if you can use the excuse that Kameda forgot the warrant, I can still reluctantly believe you, but there is one thing that is really wrong. It’s too outrageous. Your warrant actually says that Kameda was ordered to lead the newcomers to naturalize and was allowed to enter the Poseidon Pillar, and the Poseidon Guards were not allowed to stop them.”
"So what?" Kameda and I both looked at the guard in surprise and didn't understand what went wrong with this order.
The guard sneered and said, "As expected, you actually don't know the situation here at all."
"What do you mean?"
"It's very simple." The guard said: "It's true that we are the Poseidon Guard, but we are never responsible for guarding the Poseidon Pillar. Today is just because of an accident during the guard drill yesterday. The Mermaid Guard who was originally responsible for guarding the Poseidon Pillar A large number of wounded people appeared, so we were temporarily transferred to take over the duty. This means that Lord Bo Seidon didn't even know that we were guarding here, and your performance just now shows that you don't know that we were not the guards guarding here originally, so Your warrant must have just been forged. Although I don't know how you got a warrant with Lord Bo Saidon's divine power in such a short period of time, I am definitely not sent by Lord Bo Saidon. That’s for sure.”
After listening to this explanation, we all turned our attention to Bo Cedon, and Bo Cedon was a little embarrassed when we looked at him. In the end, he could only hold on and defended: "Why are you looking at me? This is Ekko." Regarding Sars, I am the King of the Sea who wants to manage the entire ocean. If I have to worry about such a trivial matter, will I die from exhaustion?"
Although Seidon's words were a bit unreasonable, he had to admit that what she said was the truth. Just like the general of an army cannot know the changing time and specific tasks of each soldier, it is impossible for Boseidon to know what each of his subordinates is doing. Even if the modern army has computer assistance, senior commanders It's impossible to know everything about everyone's situation, so I can't really blame Bo Saidon for today's incident.
When Bo Cedon was finished, the guys on the opposite side were confused. However, after thinking for a moment, they concluded that Bo Cedon's statement that he was Bo Cedon was a deliberate act to disrupt their thinking, so they were ignored by them. .
After the guard reacted, he pointed directly at us and shouted: "One group stepped forward to stop them, the second and third groups surrounded them on both sides, the fourth and fifth groups guarded the entrance and did not move, and signaled for reinforcements."
The guards immediately started moving as soon as they heard the leader's words. Teams of guards rushed out and quickly formed an encirclement formation. When I saw this posture, I had no choice but to pull out Eternity and prepare to fight. As a result, Bo Seidon looked at Eternity in my hand and immediately reminded him: "Don't use your sword, these are all mine!"
When I heard this, I remembered that I couldn't kill people this time, so I had to change the appearance of eternity. I saw that Eternity, which had just been in the shape of a sword, turned into liquid in the blink of an eye, and then wrapped up along my hands, eventually forming a thick fist helmet outside my fists.
when. I bumped my two fists against each other, and there was a crisp metallic collision sound, and then I asked Seidon: "Is this okay?"
"Anyway, as long as you don't hurt anyone, you are free to use whatever weapon you want."
"Damn, even if you don't let me hurt people, you still say what kind of weapon is my [freedom]. Apart from this kind of edgeless weapon, how can Eternity become something that doesn't hurt people?"
The group of guards on the opposite side didn't react at all to our noise. After setting up their formation, they stopped there and did not rush over immediately. From this, it can be seen that the training level of Boseidon people is quite high, because they made the most correct choice. Generally speaking, when guards find an intruder, they will take the initiative to fight. This is a basic human reaction, and no one thinks it is strange. But the truth is, guards aren't actually supposed to look too heroic.
The job of a guard is to protect, not to kill the enemy, so no matter what he is protecting, at least one thing is that he cannot leave the thing being protected, especially he cannot let himself die, because even if the thing is robbed, as long as the guard is still there, the opponent You can't concentrate on escaping, because the guards can hinder the opponent. However, if the guards rush up to fight the enemy as soon as they come up, it will become a duel with force. If the enemy is weaker than the guard, it's fine. But if the opponent is stronger, doesn't it mean that the thing guarded will be lost? Therefore, the guards do not need to fight the enemy, nor do they need to actively kill the enemy. There is actually only one thing that the guard really needs to do, and that is - delaying time. Usually the guards will not be all the forces that one can mobilize, which means that as long as one persists for a period of time, one's reinforcements will arrive one after another. On the other hand, the enemy, as a secret infiltrator, cannot do anything like a regular battle. Second attack, ladder invasion. The small group of thieves does not have a reserve team, so as guards, there is no need to go head-to-head with the enemy. As long as they guard the Poseidon Pillar, their mission will be completed perfectly. Whether they can subdue us is not their concern at all.
Although the guards did not rush, we had to rush. The Archon didn't know that he had taken the Exus piece this time, so we can't estimate the time of his return for the time being. However, considering Exus's rigidity, it is assumed that he will not leave the mission area for too long while on duty. Far away, so Exus will definitely be able to come back in a short time after receiving the magic warning sent here. The only difference is whether this short time is one minute or ten minutes. Anyway, it is mostly within this range.
Because time is tight, we have no time to waste. Seeing that my side was already armed, the others quickly took out their weapons and began to prepare. However, after all, they were facing their own people, so it was natural that I was so decisive.
Looking at the battle formation in front of me, I jumped over in one step. The little leader on the opposite side did not expect that I would dare to rush forward when facing their battle formation. He quickly waved his hand and ordered his subordinates to block their magic. As a result, because I was too fast, I rushed to the front row before their magic could be formed. in front of the soldiers.
As soon as the soldiers in the row saw me approaching, they immediately waved the halberds in their hands, but I didn't even dodge. I directly grabbed the halberds stabbed from both sides with both hands, and moved sideways with this body to avoid the front. With that handle, he shook off the halberd in his hand and stepped towards the warrior in front of him. Before he could take back the halberd he handed out, he quickly moved up to it and used an iron mountain to directly knock the guy away, and also knocked him away. The people on that side turned over a large piece.
After knocking this guy away, he ignored the row of guys on the right and rushed directly through the defense line into the group of mages. The mages of the Gods are just better at magic attacks, not melee combat, so they didn't show any overly nervousness when they rushed towards me, but this was just a momentary thought. When I started to take action, these guys realized that something was wrong. .
Originally, they relied on the fact that they were gods and thought that even if I was powerful enough, I could only hurt a few people. When the time came, they would still be able to subdue me with their numerical advantage. However, just as soon as I came into contact with them, I realized that I was in big trouble, because I didn't get entangled with them as these guys expected at all. Instead, I raised my fists and bowed left and right. I knocked over two of them and got hit. The guy who fell never got up after falling.
The leader who negotiated with us before was also startled. As a result, half of the magic experts in the Time Guard were already knocked down. When the soldiers in front thought of returning reinforcements, the boss stopped. Dong and her maid also rushed forward immediately.
As the Queen of the Sea, one can imagine Boseidon's combat prowess, but because she was worried about injuring her subordinates, she struck softly. Therefore, although her performance was still quite vigorous, she was not as efficient as imagining the mid-autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves. In comparison, her shi maid seems to be more powerful than her. Of course, it is not because this shi maid is more ruthless, but because her profession is closer to that of an assassin, so her fighting style is very straightforward, even if she must The killing move became to knock the opponent unconscious, and her speed was still much faster than Bo Saidon.
The little boss over there originally expected to capture us alive, but he didn't expect that let alone capture us alive, he couldn't even block us. Seeing us cutting down all the guards like melons and vegetables, he didn't know what he was supposed to do for a moment. However, although he didn't know what he was going to do, I did.
After knocking down this stupid guy with one punch, I stretched out my hand to grab Bo Seidon, who was still wanting to fight, and threw her through the crowd directly to the gate of Poseidon Pillar. Seidon, who was suddenly thrown out by me, was also startled, but she was the main god after all, and her strength was there. She flipped somersaults in the air, mastered her balance, and landed steadily at the gate of the Poseidon Pillar, following. He turned around and pressed the seal on the door, and the door with the special seal opened immediately.
The guards were not too nervous when they saw Boseidon landing at the gate. After all, if the seal wanted to be broken by force, it would take at least several hours, and that was without anyone interfering. With so many people around now, it was impossible to have time to open the lock, so the guards thought that Boseidon couldn't get in at all. Who knew that the seal that they thought could be blocked for several hours actually didn't last even a minute and was blocked? It opened immediately.
The frightened guards no longer cared about their formations. They all rushed towards the gate of the Poseidon Pillar with a roar, but they didn't expect that someone was faster than them.
Boseidon's maiden did a somersault and stepped on the head of a guard, then flew directly over the crowd and landed behind Boseidon. She took a fighting stance and shouted to Boseidon behind her. : "You go in first, I'm blocking you here."
Boseidon also knew that she couldn't be humble at this time, so she rushed in without delaying for a second.
Seeing Poseidon entering the Poseidon Pillar, the guards outside immediately went crazy. They all rushed towards the gate like crazy. But what they didn't expect was that the figure beside the shrine girl who was blocking the door flashed. I actually reached the door and blocked their way.
"How long do you want?" I blocked the door and shouted without looking back.
Seidon replied in the Poseidon Pillar: "Don't disturb me, hold on for thirty seconds."
"Thirty seconds? That's easy."
As soon as I finished speaking, I was bumped into by the guards who rushed up. These guys were as if they had been beaten to death this time. They were not afraid of death at all. Thanks to the Poseidon Pillar, there is only one entrance and it is relatively narrow. Otherwise, I can't stop it alone. Being rushed to the gate by the crowd, I was completely stuck here. The guy who bumped into me had been knocked unconscious by me, but the people behind him still pushed him forward, so that the guy couldn't fall down even if he was fainted.
To be honest, if I could kill people, I would have killed all these guys by now, but the problem is that these are Boseidon's people, and she is here. Even if I want to go against her wishes, I can't do it in front of her. The noodles are dry, right? So even though it was very uncomfortable, I had no choice but to endure it. However, just when I was about to hold on like this for thirty seconds, a loud roar suddenly came from behind the crowd.
"Get out of my way."
The guard who was still rushing forward made a way with a hula, but what I saw was a rather tall and handsome man standing at the door, and he was still holding Kameda in his hand. Although the other party didn't speak, I recognized this person at a glance as Exus. He's back much sooner than we thought. It had only been thirty seconds since we started, and he actually came back. Obviously the Archon's mission was not done well, otherwise as long as he could return within one minute of the minimum time, we would have been done. Unfortunately, it only took him thirty seconds to come back!
Although the other party didn't know that it was Bo Seidon himself inside, and he didn't know what we were going to do, it was never a good thing to have the intruder and the core of divine power together, so as soon as he came up, he directly took Kameda in his hand, and then put the knife in his hand. He put it on Kameda's neck. "I'll give you five seconds, including the one who went in. If he doesn't come out within five seconds, I will kill him."
"Huh, he's just a puppet. If you want to kill him, just kill him." I deliberately pretended not to care. Anyway, it would be over in another twenty seconds. If I drag him over, I will win.
However, I forgot that Exus is a dead-brained guy, so the methods of dealing with smart people will not work on him. This guy tightened the knife directly, and then continued to chant: "Five, four, three, two, one..."! .
