Chapter 81: Assassination(1/2)
The seaside city "Loyash".
At night, when the lights are on, an airship cruises over the city, and the streets below are bustling with traffic.
This is supposed to be the most prosperous central area, but there are no vehicles on the streets. We can only see many pedestrians strolling on the streets. Presumably, the trial house stands here. Of course, vehicles cannot be allowed to approach the vicinity and disturb the people here.
Big shots.
There are many ring cities, fortress cities, etc. in the territory of the family members. The laws in each area are slightly different, which also contributes to different humanities and urban styles.
The central street of "Loyash" is closed to vehicles, which is actually nothing. There is a hereditary system of nobles and members in the Aurora Parliament.
Every floor of the trial room is brightly lit. When the war breaks out in the border area, the place is open 24 hours a day. As long as family members officers are sent, the corresponding judicial process will start to operate to ensure sufficient deterrence and avoid frontline attacks.
An officer is inactive or disobeys an order.
Located on the fourth underground floor of the trial house, this place is made of heavy metal. Each cell is a single room. The people who will be locked up here are all military officers. Even if they are guilty, they will not be treated as badly as prisoners.
treatment.
In the innermost single cell, Brigadier General Reitz was sitting on a single bed with a newspaper in his hand. The more he looked at it, the deeper his frown deepened.
Counting the time, Brigadier General Reitz has been imprisoned here for two days. During these two days, he did not think about anything else, but has been studying how to defeat the Sun camp's 'group fight tactics'.
After several summaries, Brigadier General Reitz figured out why the Sun camp was so difficult to deal with and devised a strategy to deal with it.
Unfortunately, this is meaningless. He is behind bars. It is still unknown whether he can regain his freedom, let alone retain his position and go to the border area to carry out a revenge campaign.
While Brigadier General Reitz was thinking about this, the door of the prison was opened by a law enforcement guard. Brigadier General Reitz heard the sound and looked around. Except for the two law enforcement guards, the other three people had unfamiliar faces.
Brigadier General Reitz's heart skipped a beat. When he saw the unfamiliar faces of unknown origins, it was likely that something bad was coming. When he thought of the faces of the alliance's bureaucrats, Brigadier General Reitz felt something like this in his heart, and he felt enlightened.
"Mr. Brigadier General, the Alliance needs you."
A family member wearing formal clothes and gold-rimmed glasses spoke. Although he had a weak temperament, his eyes had an indescribable sharpness. This kind of person either worked in the intelligence department or was in charge of the secret force.
"Um?"
Brigadier General Reitz was confused at first, and then thought that the war situation in the border area was unfavorable, and he wanted to find someone to take the blame.
Brigadier General Reitz was secretly shocked, but the expression on his face did not change. He said: "A defeated general like me is not qualified to go to the front line anymore. I cannot convince the masses. If the morale of the army is lost, it will be completely defeated."
Brigadier General Reitz folded the newspaper in his hand and ignored the man with gold-rimmed glasses standing outside the door.
Seeing this, the man with gold-rimmed glasses smiled meaningfully. He raised his hand to signal that the two law enforcement officers in the trial court should step down, leaving only the two people he brought with him.
"Mr. Brigadier General, the Alliance needs you."
"I am no longer needed."
Brigadier General Reitz sighed as he spoke. Although he really wanted to return to the war zone and carry out the revenge battle he had planned in his heart, he would not go back and take the blame.
If he were to take the blame, he would most likely have died inexplicably just after arriving at the Iron Fortress. He knew Lieutenant General Whitley and knew that the other party was likely to do this.
"Mr. Brigadier..."
"Stop talking, I...will not go back again. I have been defeated by Kuculin Baiye and I am not qualified to face him again."
Brigadier General Reitz's expression showed a bit of loneliness. Even if someone came to tell the truth today, he would not return to the front line.
"Mr. Brigadier General, please let me finish."
The tone of the man with gold-rimmed glasses was slightly impatient. He hated others interrupting him. After confirming that Brigadier Reitz was listening, he continued:
"Brigadier General Reitz, according to my investigation, you sold a batch of standard weapons a few days ago, and the buyer was a businessman named Edgeworth."
"It's just scrapped weapons. I only buy and sell them after I get the approval."
"Yes, judging from the books, your transaction is legal, but can you explain to me what is going on with this photo?"
The man with gold-rimmed glasses handed a photo to Brigadier Reitz. After taking it, Brigadier Reitz took a casual look and his expression suddenly changed.
In this photo, Su Xiao, Caesar, and Brigadier General Reitz seemed to be talking. In Su Xiao's hand, he was holding a brand new standard sword.
What's even worse is that the background of the photo is the Warhammer Army's basement, which is full of weapons racks.
Not to mention anything else, this photo alone can convict Brigadier General Reitz of more than a dozen crimes, any one of which is enough to cost Brigadier General Reitz his life.
When Brigadier Reitz looked extremely ugly, the man with gold-rimmed glasses opened his mouth and said the first words he said when he first arrived. He said:
"Mr. Brigadier General, the Alliance needs you."
"Defend the Alliance to the death!"
Brigadier General Reitz's attitude changed surprisingly. As he spoke, he lit the photo in his hand with a lighter.
…
In the border area, the battlefield is muddy. It rained last night. In addition, in recent days, this battlefield has been bombarded by heavy artillery-level weapons, and the sand and gravel in the ground have been turned to the ground.
In the general command room, Su Xiao stood in front of the curved floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the battlefield. The visibility at night was not high, but he could still see the general situation of the battlefield clearly.
No one expected that the battle for the world would reach this level. They originally thought it would be a big fight between contractors, but it turned into a melee between hundreds of thousands of indigenous people.
In Haomei's words, this is like a dream. If it weren't for the main mission, she would think that she has entered a world that has been at war for years, instead of participating in the battle for the world and the contractor's chaos.
The current situation is very simple. If the Familia camp wins, one of the three parties, Apocalypse Paradise, Holy Light Paradise, and Watching Paradise, will win. If the Sun camp wins, it means that Samsara Paradise will win.
Run away if you can't fight? I'm afraid you're just thinking about it. At noon yesterday, half of Su Xiao's [World Core] resonated with the enemy's [Dark Powder].
The enemy can sense the location of the World's Core with the use of [Dark Envelope]. In contrast, Su Xiao can also sense the location of the [Dark Envelope] with half of the [World's Core] in his hand.
At this stage, the entire continent is a battlefield notarized by the Void Tree. As long as you don't leave this continent, you can fight in any way.
This is also a restriction, which means that you cannot run away to the sea with [Dark Envelope] or half of [World Core].
Either win or die without a burial place. On Su Xiao's side, behind is the alienated beast territory, on the Golden Earl, Psalm, and Orlandi's side, behind is the human territory. There is no retreat for both sides.
The ultimate counterattack of the Familia is about to come. The good news is that the synthesis of the five six-star titles will be completed in a few seconds.
[Tip: This random burning has been completed.]
[You obtain the Master of Chaos (★★★★★★★ title).]
…
Starting with a new seven-star title, there are two types of burning of the unowned title. 1. Burning to produce [Title without Characteristics]. This burning method costs about half of the normal burning. 2. Random burning.
, the cost of this burning method is several times that of normal burning.
It seems that the former is cheaper, but in Su Xiao's view, the effect of the title is not only determined by the star rating, but also the special energy contained in it.
The more this special energy is, the greater the improvement to the main title will be when it is burned as a sub-title, and the main title will naturally be stronger, such as [War Lord] and [Uncrowned King], both of which are seven stars.
The titles are completely different.
The existence of [War Lord] can be said to be a miracle among titles, because it is a title that has been promoted four times.
A main title can be burned up to three times, and can no longer be burned after that. As for [War Lord], after it is upgraded from three stars to six stars, this title has reached its limit and cannot be burned anymore.
But the problem is that the war lord's fourth promotion was not based on the burning of the title disk, but Su Xiao used the seven-star title [Dream Chaser] to upgrade it to seven stars.
[Dream Chaser·Seven-star title: Sacrifice (active), you can select any existing six-star title. After activating this ability, the Dream Chaser title will be consumed, so that the selected six-star title will be promoted to a seven-star title
, greatly improve the ability of this title (stronger than more than 90% of seven-star titles).】
In this way, [War Lord] was upgraded for the fourth time. At that time, Su Xiao discovered that the strength of War Lord was wrong. Compared with the normal seven-star title, War Lord's strength was ridiculously high.
Not only that, after being promoted with [Dream Chaser], the War Lord not only inherited [Dream Chaser]’s star rating, but also inherited something even more terrifying, namely the Dream Chaser’s three refining opportunities.
Theoretically, Su Xiao can upgrade the war lord to a ten-star title, but there is a problem. He doesn't know if there is a ten-star title, and he has never seen a nine-star title.
Perhaps this is also the origin of the title "Dream Chaser". It is precisely because we don't know whether it exists that we created this possibility to pursue this dream.
Just like the attributes of the [Dream Chaser] title, it can upgrade the six-star title to seven-star, and then get three opportunities to refine it, just in time to hit the ten-star dream and find out whether the dream thing exists.
Time waits for no one, the Familia clan may attack at any time, so we must get through the weak period without the bonus of the war lord as soon as possible.
Opening the title burning disk, Su Xiao first embedded [War Lord] into the main title position.
After a crisp sound, the War Lord was adsorbed into the groove in the center of the burning disc. Starting from this point, magma patterns gradually spread on the burning disc.
After a few more crisp sounds, the four titles of [Uncrowned King], [World Invasion], [Battle Master], and [Lord of Chaos] were embedded in the surrounding grooves. Among them, [World Invasion] quickly melted, and the two
If the subtitle slot is full, use one to top two.
[Yes/No to carry out this title burning, if necessary, you need to pay 5000 soul coins.]
[Tip: The success rate of this burning is 100%.]
…
The cost of refining is within an acceptable range and is 1,000 soul coins cheaper than the random refining of a six-star title. However, in order to allow the war lord to have a higher gold content, the expenditure is worth it.
Su Xiao was slightly pleased with the 100% success rate, and he chose to start burning.
[Tip: This title burning is estimated to take 12 hours and 45 minutes.]
Su Xiao had never been in a hurry to upgrade the war lord before. It was because of this that he lost the bonus of the war lord in the past 13 hours. If this was a melee, his side might even be unable to hold on to the defense line and be besieged by the enemy at the Sun Fortress.
.
Although the wild boar warriors have undergone transformation from the nest, they already have good combat power, but facing the world's dominant force, the Familia, this is not enough. Su Xiao has already experienced how good the Familia soldiers are at fighting.
Once the title burning starts, it cannot be interrupted midway unless you want the war lord to be scrapped.
To be continued...
