Chapter 116

Our own advance troops had already lost their will to fight and were defeated when they suffered huge trauma.

The two legions at the rear who entered the canyon were in chaos when they encountered the meteorite. Now they are attacked by a group of monsters. Now there are enemy cavalry advancing in front.

If this continues, the two legions will probably be in trouble. After all, the opposite army will definitely not miss this opportunity.

If Ludwig himself failed to escape, the second half of the defenders would also lose their backbone, the pass behind them would not be able to be defended, and his family's territory would be annexed.

These magicians are also the hope of the family. In addition to the two people who fell before, the seven elite magicians and the knights who were shot away and whose life or death was uncertain... If they are all finished like this, even if they are in the future, If his son can escape, the family will inevitably be completely destroyed.

After all, chasing and escaping with a magician in such an open area seems to have little meaning.

Thinking of this, Ludwig ignored the knight's dissuasion, turned around and glared at the young man who was looking sideways at the fallen magicians, gave up running, and threw his gloves directly: "You must be a noble too - —I want to duel with you!"

"...A duel? Now? At this time?" Ya Xiu looked at the gloves that were not thrown in front of him and couldn't help but sneered: "Are you kidding? After all, even if I give you a chance, can you seize it? ?”

"I have a general understanding of your magic mechanism. Every time the gravity enhancement range expands, your feet fall into the ground as you move, and the speed and distance of your steps do not change each time. In other words, ——Although your magic is very strong, if you want to strengthen the range of this magic, you need to maintain the same movement every time, so I already have..."

"Ah...wait a minute." The other person's words made Ashus couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Ludwig suddenly frowned: "What are you laughing at? What's so funny? Are you bluffing when your weakness is discovered?"

"No, I know you are testing me and want to see if I am right through my expression, but I don't understand why powerful magic must have all kinds of strange restrictions?"

"Then every time you walk..."

"Are the walking paces the same? If you are just walking, you should not suddenly take one step longer and one step smaller, or suddenly go faster or slower." Ya Xiu spread his hands helplessly:

"If you want to ask, why does it get stronger every time you step on the ground? It's just too boring to kill you all at once. After all...the skills, martial arts, archery, and the desperate efforts of your subordinates have been hard-earned so far. Resistance, everything, is meaningless in front of me - I actually don't have the heart to tell you the truth. "

"Bluff...Gah!?"

Ludwig wanted to shoot the arrow that was ready to go. It was clear that Ash was still in place, motionless and more than thirty meters away from him, but the gravity field instantly expanded and strengthened, causing him to kneel down without support. When he fell to the ground, his head didn't hit the ground, and he was just trying to support his body with his hands.

But the two knights who were nervously guarding him beside him were instantly crushed to the ground.

The magic users not far away from Ash, their magic power was excessively consumed and they could no longer bear it. The heavy pressure of the ground at such a close range burst into a puddle of flesh.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a freezing coldness, as if someone had accidentally thrown him into an ice cellar, or into a polar glacier. It made people feel desperate for no reason.

Because now he also realized that this boy did not lie. What he was facing was not a genius magician at all, but a monster that humans could never compete with.

As for the culprit who caused all this, Ash just looked at the meat paste on the floor coldly and said casually:

"Let me just say it. It's a bit too boring to end the battle all of a sudden. Besides, I'm not a devil. I've also made an agreement with my children at home and want to go home early, so as long as you surrender, I can still give....."

"Absolutely...I will never betray His Majesty the Emperor!!"

As if the spirit wanted to make an alliance with him, he threw away the despair that was like the shadow of a human body. With the dignity of a parachute rider, Ludwig roared with all his strength, When Ash had lifted the gravity and wanted to have a good chat, he directly threw his life-saving ace on the ground.

With a "Bang!" sound, the glass bottle containing the miniature golem shattered, and the miniature golem expanded instantly, turning into a giant golem wearing a horn helmet, over three stories tall, and holding a giant sword.

"This is the Demonic Forest Statue of Saki. Isn't it the Demonic Statue of Enku? Saki didn't expect him to be regarded as a killer? Or it's a combat golem that I've already completed, to be honest. ...so boring."

Looking at the huge demon statue, Ash felt familiar at first glance. After recognizing it, he only felt bored, because he really didn't feel any surprise at this kind of thing that he had seen before.

But he probably understood that this was something that Laerne had to sell in order to have money to continue to develop the golem. After all, it was very expensive to make the golem. The cost was extremely high, but the selling price was also quite high.

In terms of effectiveness, Laerne's golem is worth the price of admission, especially the one used for combat, which is much better than the escape golem used in the second round of exams.

However, the biggest drawback of this kind of golem is that it will die when the magic power is used up, and it cannot exist for a long time. It is also a bit... not good enough to use it against him.

"—— Kill him!!"

Ludwig, who took out his trump card, issued an order while pulling the bowstring again, intending to make a final desperate gamble.

The burial of Furlin·The official start of the journey: Chapter 45 The main general was killed, the main force was captured·The magic special forces were defeated·The national defense barrier was broken

The giant golem that received the order naturally had no doubts about its master. Without saying a word, it ordered the two-story-high giant sword to chop towards Ash's head with a terrifying sound of wind.

At this time, Ludwig also made the bow shoot arrows like a machine gun at a speed so fast that it could draw afterimages, and flew towards him from all angles.

"..... Is this your answer? What a pity."

The whistling giant sword was enough to easily cut through the city wall, but he easily grabbed it with just one hand.

Boom——! ! !

The brick and stone road paved for trade could not withstand such a strong force. Under this huge pressure, the terrifying shock wave spread wildly around the place where Ash stood.

The bricks and stones on the ground were lifted up like a tsunami, causing the earth and stones to fly and the dust to fill the air.

However, he himself had no scars. He held the sword blade and slowly raised his hand, so that the giant who could not adapt to the sudden disappearance of gravity was still holding the hilt, but his legs were off the ground.

The asymmetrical body shapes of the two sides made the scene look like a baby, casually lifting a giant over two meters tall, which made Ludwig feel that his nerves were about to go crazy.

But Ash just grabbed the sword blade and swung it, and the golem giant slapped it away and blocked the arrows that were flying.

It couldn't hold the hilt of the sword, and was thrown out the next moment, presenting a beautiful parabola, flying dozens of meters away and directly smashing the people who were still fleeing.

But the rolling giant was obviously not seriously injured. He slapped his hands on the ground and was about to get up, but Ash threw the giant sword in his hand without even looking.

At the moment when the giant raised his head, the rotating giant sword accurately pierced the center of its chest, accurately destroying its core, causing it to fall to the ground again with a muffled sound of - bang! ! , unable to move.

This scene made Ludwig's face full of astonishment and disbelief, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world, and the movement of his hands had stopped unconsciously.

After all, even if he didn't think that this golem could defeat the opponent, it should at least be able to delay it a little, right?

But... now what's the difference between this and being treated as a toy and thrown away casually? ?

This made him doubt his eyes, but... even if he couldn't believe it, the reality was bloody in front of him, just as Ash said before - all resistance was meaningless.

The other party's calm attitude, which seemed to have an absolute advantage, made Ludwig unable to suppress his emotions. If he continued like this, he would lose his territory and his trusted retainers. Even if he could escape, it would be difficult for him to turn the situation around.

But if he died here, the morale of the defenders would be ruined...

"Forget it, there's no point in playing with you. Since you are going to resist to this extent, I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore... At most, it's just a matter of breaking the barrier with a little effort."

Before Ludwig finished thinking, Ash had already decided to give up trying to persuade him to surrender. He completely lost interest in him and didn't want to waste time here. He was even quite dissatisfied with his ignorance and stretched out his hand to hold him in the air.

The abnormal gravity instantly centered on the waist and abdomen of the man who was frozen on the ground, causing his body to be twisted uncontrollably, and his limbs to be compressed and broken.

"Gah-Gah ah!!!" Ludwig instinctively let out a painful howl, his heart was full of regret, but he couldn't even say the words of begging for mercy.

In this painful cry, his whole body turned into a bloody ball in an instant, and he could not even recognize his original appearance.

No, at least his head was protected by a helmet. Even if his limbs were broken and his waist was broken, his face was basically intact.

Of course, this was also what Ash needed, so he kept it for him.

...............................

...............................

As one of the three great knights of the northern countries, Ludwig was almost the same as his grandfather when he encountered Mahat in the Golden Country. He was easily killed without even forming a resistance.

But the sad thing is that even if the commander was dead, all the soldiers did not notice this.

The cavalry of the kingdom had also rushed from the rear, and when Ash kicked the meat ball, it was directly hung on the flag of the flag-bearing cavalry.

Although the cavalry was startled at first, after seeing who was the tragically dead person on the flag, he recognized the hostile military commander and rushed forward with the flag.

But in fact, they only felt the ground beneath their feet tremble due to the iron hooves of the cavalry. The soldiers of the empire looked back slightly and were terrified. No one could look back.

In the face of life, this army that had long lost its formation, they either threw away their armor or fled, wishing that their parents had not given them two more legs, and even pushed their companions in the midst of shouting, scrambling to escape.

But even if they threw away their armor and pushed each other, they still couldn't escape the pursuit of the god of death.

The fleeing soldiers were fleeing, and the cavalrymen were chasing them like hungry wolves, their weapons flashing coldly in the moonlight, quickly passing by the fleeing soldiers, splashing pieces of flying blood.

Occasionally, there were still fleeing soldiers who wanted to fight to the death, but in front of this unstoppable cavalry torrent, those little resistances, like the occasional small waves in the river, seemed so pale and powerless.

Shouts, cries, and occasional collisions of weapons, unconsciously intertwined together, forming this march of slaughter.

There were also magicians who formed various killing storms, extremely efficiently slaughtering groups of fleeing soldiers in the distance, and disintegrating the little resistance to the magic beast army controlled by Linie.

Ash was also unscrupulously wielding his magic power, further turning the entire battlefield into purgatory... After all, in such a place, it's either you or I. Since you're on the battlefield, you have to be prepared to die.

In this way, as time went by, the battlefield situation, which was already clear, was completely settled before dawn.

Two Lingman Shimeng's regular army witch group, including some auxiliary troops, totaling more than 70,000 people, were left here, either surrendering as prisoners of war or being killed.

The dawn that first appeared in the sky seemed unable to penetrate the heavy haze that shrouded the earth.

On the battlefield, in the dead silence, mixed with the lingering smoke and bloody smell, the broken battle flags swayed weakly in the breeze, and they were still covered with mud and blood.

The former glory and majesty, now only ruin and desolation remain.

Broken limbs, broken arrows, and broken blades were scattered all over the ground, reflecting a faint and cold light. They were once sharp weapons in the hands of the warriors, but now they have become witnesses of this catastrophe.

Corpses were lying everywhere, some piled together, some lying alone on the scorched earth, with twisted faces and eyes still showing the fear and despair of their lives.

Blood dyed the earth red, forming winding streams, slowly flowing into the distance, taking away the warmth of life.

..............................

The vast blood-stained plain in the middle of the canyon was covered by the afterglow of the dawn, but the strong smell of blood was also blown away by the strong wind.

These countless corpses constructed a picture of hell, but they could no longer move Ash.

The groups of prisoners of war were not lucky enough to survive, but just numbly carried the corpses of their companions, and pieced together the broken limbs on the spot... They were not even able to bury their companions.

Because even if human magicians cannot reach the high level of control at the level of Aura, there are many magicians who can simply control the undead. Of course, Aura's undead army is not undead magic, but it is occasionally similar.

In addition, the behavior of controlling the dead is also resisted by the church, which believes that it is disrespectful to the dead.

But when the war really starts... How many people will care about human nature? Especially in this day and age, massacres are normal.

Strong soldiers can be used again... Even if they will be condemned, few countries will waste a large number of undead magicians, unless they really don't have any magicians who can use undead magic.

But even if he has long been numb to war and death, Ash still couldn't help looking at the piles of corpses and sighed softly:

"I obviously yearn for peace, why do I keep killing since I was born."

Although he said so, the soldiers passing by looked at him dumbfounded.

Because thinking of the killing last night, it is hard for anyone to imagine that this is what a pacifist would do.

But he didn't lie, and he even sincerely believed it, but...the reality didn't allow it.

He didn't care about others at all. He looked at Ludwig who was found and thrown not far away, and couldn't help shaking his head: ".... I wanted to give you a chance. It's a pity, Ludwig."

"There's no way. This world is like the law of the jungle. If you are weak, if you are weak, you must have died long ago. If you want to live, there is no other way except killing." Solitier, who was spotless, also appeared beside him at this moment, as if she had become his understanding. She smiled apologetically and bowed her head slightly:

"But I'm really sorry~ There are still some people hiding back in the barrier. It seems that I can't completely block the entire legion by myself."

"... You are definitely not serious."

"Am I serious for the time being?"

"When you say 'for the time being', you can't be serious, but forget it... What's the use of running back? Anyway, they will find out about the situation here."

At least the main work has been completed, so the remaining trivial matters are naturally not a big problem, and Ash naturally doesn't plan to care too much.

Just as he was about to go to the front-line camp, the familiar lolita in gothic lolita clothes, Linie, came to his side and stretched out her hand to pull his sleeve: "Master Ash, Master Ash."

"...What's wrong?"

"My face is dirty, can Master Ash wipe it for me?" Linie looked up expressionlessly at her blood-stained face.

But this strange question made Ya Xiu's expression somewhat tense: "...Didn't you wipe it directly before? No, what do you mean by wiping it with me? It sounds too strange. Go ahead and wipe it with whatever you like!"

"This is different. I wipe it with my sleeves when I'm angry. In fact, I respect Ash very much."

"When you eat, don't you often wipe your mouth and hands with my clothes?"

"I've said it before, those are two different things." Linie corrected inexplicably and seriously.

But even though he thought hard about this, he still couldn't quite understand it. It took him a long time before he said:

"...It turns out that at that time, after I chatted with Rabine and Kangye, you were angry before you sat on my lap."

"Yes." Linye nodded slightly, but stared at him intently: "But now... Master Ash, after they were attacked by the meteorite, I immediately took the Warcraft to disrupt their formation. I am very Can you give me a reward for your hard work?”

"Reward? What do you want?"

"Anyway, wipe it first, and then I want to sit on Mr. Ash and let Mr. Ash feed me apples, no..." Lina shook her head mid-sentence, and said inexplicably seriously: "Let's go together It’s better to eat.”

"...In the end, Apple still can't be bypassed?"

...

Ash complained, but still sighed softly, reaching out and wiping the blood on her face with his sleeves.

When Ligne raised her lips happily, he seemed to notice something. He suddenly turned his head and looked not far away, made a cut on his wrist, and started to wipe Solitier on his face:

"——Stop! Solitaire, are you a yandere??"

"What is a yandere?"
