Chapter 422: Pride and Humility

Marquis Andrea has always been a very realistic person.

Living in such a world, it is not a bad thing to value reality.

Extreme pragmatists can live better.

Moreover, Marquis Andrea is not only responsible for himself, but also for the Frey family and the entire Ataxlog.

Every step is like walking on thin ice.

In just a few Naroa days, his temperament has changed a lot.

The biggest change is probably that he has changed from arrogance to humility.

After the outbreak of this magic disaster, he saw the hidden cards of Magtan City one after another.

Those earth-shaking explosions are absolutely unforgettable.

Then Marquis Andrea saw the powerful Winged Giant.

As the last stone-level strongman in Logne, Hermes Barber and two seventh-level twin brothers and great magicians had no power to fight back when facing the Winged Giant.

That powerful giant even pushed forward against their attacks throughout the whole process.

No, you can't use resistance, you should use ignore.

The Winged Giant Yuan ignored their attacks.

Whether inside or outside the city, all attacks seemed to have no impact on it.

Even if there were occasional attacks that could break the defense, that was all for it.

The terrible condemner did not change his goal based on these external factors.

How terrible it was, how frightening it was.

Whenever he thought about it, Marquis Andrea would be unable to sleep at night and toss and turn.

The calmer the Winged Giant Yuan was, the more terrible it seemed to him.

It was an irresistible fear.

It was this fear, combined with the many shocks before, that changed his temperament.

Many times, the transformation from arrogance to humility is often just a matter of thought.

The biggest change was that he began to adjust the defense zone strategy.

No longer deliberately deploying the support team to the outer defense zone, but adjusting the team reasonably according to the number of monsters and the pressure of defense in a relatively fair manner.

But the disappearance of the Magtan City garrison and the Winged Giant still made him feel like a thorn in his throat.

He felt uncomfortable all over.

His mental state has not been very good for several consecutive Naroa days.

At this time, Marquis Andrea was talking with two Silver Moon-level masters in the secret meeting room in the city hall, discussing recent strategies.

Because of the disappearance of the Winged Giant, the kingdom originally transferred two Dark Sun-level masters and two eighth-level super magicians, which left only two Silver Moon-level masters in Ataxlog.

This is because the original garrison Hermes Barber "heroically" died, and Ataxlog's high-level combat power was empty, so they stayed.

Silver Moon is an eighth-level master of the magic element practice lineage.

No matter where they are placed, they are rare strategic masters, enough to change the situation in a certain area.

Even if the condemned return and appear in Ataxlog again.

Two Silver Moon-level warriors, with more precious materials and enhanced defensive magic arrays urgently delivered by the kingdom, are enough to resist.

Silver Moon-level and Yaoshi-level seem to be only one level apart.

But in fact, the difference in strength between the two is huge.

Yaoshi has not yet escaped from the mundane world, while Silver Moon is a high and mighty protector.

After reaching the Silver Moon level, you can mobilize the brilliance of the moon.

Let the magic element in the body resonate with the Silver Moon to exert a powerful force.

The gap between the two is not small.

The number of monsters in the periphery has increased sharply, and the next reception cycle of the void channel has not yet arrived.

Marquis Andrea attributed this abnormal situation to the disappearance of the Winged Giant Yuan.

The magic sea tactics are still threatening the safety of the entire Ataxlog.

Although the Silver Moon-level magic element warriors are strong, it is wishful thinking to want to kill tens of millions of monsters by themselves.

After all, magic element practitioners do not have a large-scale AOE output ability like spellcasters.

Nor do they have a huge body of a thousand meters like the Winged Giant Yuan.

It's okay to fight alone, but large-scale battlefields still depend on the overall defense of Ataxlog.

Of course, there are two Silver Moon-level strongmen as the finale.

If Marquis Andrea's style is more radical, he can launch a surprise attack and decapitation tactics, actively attack and kill high-level guarding monsters, or even take down the demon general Blasphemous Charm Oga.

The premise is that the guy no longer hides behind the tortoise shell composed of various rituals.

After all, the current situation is that monsters surround Ataxlog.

It's not a frontal positional battle between the two sides.

In addition, Marquis Andrea himself has become much more low-key and conservative recently.

If it were him before, I'm afraid he would have been inflated to the limit.

But now he is extremely humble.

But everything is excessive.

Too humble and too arrogant are two extremes.

If it cannot be balanced, then everything will return to the starting point.

This is a very simple truth.

At this moment, Marquis Andrea was discussing the subsequent defense strategy of Attakxlog with the two Silver Moon-level masters in the reception room.

"Respected Rudyard Kit and Aguro Moriarty."

"Do you have any instructions for the recent defense strategy of Attakxlog?"

He nodded very politely and asked.

Sitting opposite him across the large reception table were two Silver Moon-level masters, a man and a woman.

They all wore light long gowns, which looked very plain.

Just like the simple loose sportswear on the Earth Blue Star.

This is a couple of interracial lovers, who held hands even when they were sitting on the chair.

The man's name is Rudyard Kit, a pure-blooded human, whose eye color, hair color and skin color all match the characteristics of the native human race in Duroya.

He has a well-trimmed circular beard, and most of the time he curls his mouth corners, maintaining a polite and gentle smile. He doesn't look like the kind of guy who looks up to others.

At least he is much easier to get along with than the arrogant Hermes Barber.

Everyone has a different temperament.

In addition to being related to personal character, it is also inseparable from growth experience and ambition.

Because character is a broad indicator.

Whether it is the strong who achieves character or the character that achieves the strong has not yet been clearly determined.

The silver moon-level couple in front of them both look very gentle.

The woman was a half-elf named Agurola Moriarty, with a sharp nose, long pointed ears, silky golden hair like a waterfall, and sharp eyes like an eagle.

The two looked young, and there was not much sign of age.

Hearing the words of Marquis Andrea.

Rudyard Kit smiled slightly and replied gently and politely: "Within the framework of the kingdom's laws, we will obey the orders of His Excellency the Marquis, so you don't need to ask for our opinions."

He didn't have any airs, or he didn't care about this kind of superficial work at all.

Pause.

"And..." Rudyard Kit's expression became a little more serious: "You don't have to blame yourself for the appearance of the Scourge, at least Ataxlog has not fallen first."

His words were both comforting and reminding Marquis Andrea not to escape his duties.

Yes, Marquis Andrea only got false humility.

In essence, he just had the idea of ​​escaping because of fear.

In fact, he did a good job.

Just when Marquis Andrea was thinking.

Aguro La Moriarty, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"As a ruler, you must be firm enough."

"Any order must be firm and efficient."

"Please think of us as two sharp swords in the hands of Attakslog."

"We also believe in the ability of the Marquis."

"It is meaningless for you to ask for our opinions, because Rudyard and I are new here."

"Even if you urgently make up for the relevant information, you still don't know much about Attakslog."

"What you have to do now is to put down your fear and deploy troops like a qualified ruler of Log."

Aguro La Moriarty's voice is as clear as an oriole, with an intellectual charm.

At this time, she is like a teacher who is good at persuading.

In terms of strength alone, Marquis Andrea can't catch up.

But in terms of administrative status, the two still have to accept Andrea's command.

Of course, they also have a lot of autonomy and can veto any assigned tasks.

For the relevant powerful supporters, there are clear regulations in the kingdom's laws, and a mature system has long been formed.

The two did not want to take over.

Because this is not the best solution.

Under this premise, they chose to enlighten Marquis Andrea.

They have seen many rulers like him who have symptoms similar to "post-traumatic stress disorder".

Because the previous magic disasters are cyclical.

Today's rulers are a new generation that has risen.

They have not experienced cruel wars.

And for the long-lived Silver Moon-level strongmen, let alone this magic disaster.

Even the last magic disaster was witnessed by the two of them.

Whether it is knowledge, character or strength, the gap between the two sides is huge.

According to the best arrangement, they chose to enlighten instead of taking over the command.

Historical experience tells them that this is meaningless.

"I... understand!" Marquis Andrea thought for a while, his eyes narrowed at first and then became firm.

He immediately stood up vigorously.

"Then please come to the city hall to participate in the defense meeting in half a water hour!"

"Maybe we should be more proactive..."

The two nodded in satisfaction at the quick understanding of Marquis Andrea.

...

Blue Star.

Peanutton, District of Columbia, America.

Chen Xuan had already changed his appearance and became a handsome young man with pale complexion and sinister expression.

He was wearing a famous brand short-sleeved shirt and long pants, sitting in a luxurious gentleman's club near the city center.

It's called a club, but it's actually a large bar.

There is a pole stage in the middle, but there is no such fun during the day.

But there are still many girls in bikinis wandering around.

They licked their red lips, looked for suitable targets, and then came forward to tease and ask if they needed a single stage.

The so-called single stage is a 1-on-1 toy dance.

The project is more erotic, but does not involve formal apricot behavior.

It is worth mentioning that this kind of marginal behavior is legal in most parts of America.

But it is not absolute. Some states with strict religious beliefs do not allow this kind of play.

There are more than 50 states in America, and the laws of each state are different.

Some states even allow close relatives to marry.

There are many dance clubs in urban areas throughout America.

Most dance clubs have dark stages and loud music.

And there are many kinds of music.

Hip-hop, salsa, pop or rock.

Some dance clubs have many floors.

Different areas may play different music.

Most dance clubs have an entrance fee.

There may be a VIP entrance that saves you from waiting in long lines.

Some dance clubs may stamp your hand with invisible purple light ink red when you enter.

Some clubs have an atmosphere suitable for teenagers and college students.

Some may be more suitable for adults, such as the club Chen Xuan is currently in.

Some clubs will provide dinner and some entertainment.

In addition, most dance clubs have a dress code, such as you must wear shoes, shirts and trousers other than jeans to enter.

The one he came to is considered to be a well-known and serviced one in Peanutton.

There are five floors in total, and the entrance fee for the lower three floors ranges from $100 to $2,000.

The upper three floors are membership-based, divided into two ways: invitation and active application. Both have high thresholds and require relevant asset proof.

Generally speaking, the middle level can afford the entertainment of the lower three levels.

The services of the upper two levels are generally not available to the middle level.

I heard that there are often many fancy things, and there are super great big blonde waves.

Although it is not as good as the islands of the top consortium bosses, it is also a great place for the rich to have fun.

Chen Xuan sat on the third floor, and the quality of the girls wandering around was already very high.

In addition to those hot girls wearing bikinis, there are many big white girls in different outfits.

There are thin and fat girls.

OL outfits, sailor skirts, tight clothes without logos, bunny girls, doctors, everything is available.

Although nothing is allowed to happen directly in the club.

But leaving the club is another matter.

Since I just arrived, there have been several hot blonde girls who have come up to tease me.

Chen Xuan picked a few big girls who met his aesthetic taste and left their contact information, preparing to talk about it later.

If you come to America, wouldn’t it be a pity not to ride a big white horse?

Anyway, the big sword music in his storage compartment is almost endless.

Even if you use it to spend money, it will take a long time.

You can't spend it all, you can't spend it all.

Chen Xuan was relaxed, sitting quietly at the bar, looking different from the men who were having fun around him.

The bartender was a young girl with some freckles on her cheeks.

The buttons of the white bartender's uniform were almost bursting.

She was shaking a special cocktail for Chen Xuan.

The undulating waves made people feel like they were at the seaside.

Chen Xuan's attention was not on this at all, but on the TV program.

The news was being broadcast, and the scene on the screen was the scene where he had driven into the roadblock before.

The fire there had been put out by firefighters.

The black frame of the car and the nearby road surface were all scorched. (End of this chapter)
