Chapter 23: Counterattack

Under the urgent order of the temporary lord, the Punishing Knight Scott, the backbone elites in Stromberg were called together for an emergency meeting. White, as an important witness, attended the meeting together with several greatsword heavy swordsmen who escaped from the Wheat Plain. Fang Lin and others followed Marse's route to rest and replenish supplies.

Undoubtedly, Marse has become one of the star focus figures in Stromberg. The blood-patterned armor covering his whole body, the powerful black stick he wielded, and the fiery red horse he robbed have all become signature identification objects. When Fang Lin and others found Marse, this guy was sitting on the long dining table and chewing, drinking milk porridge and eating black bread in big mouthfuls.

The food for the army in Stromberg is excellent. To make milk porridge, the oatmeal is crushed and boiled, and then cooked with milk, eggs or broth, and almonds, raisins, sugar, orange water and other seasonings are added. The taste is very delicious. It was dinner time, and fresh meat was added to the black bread.

It is worth mentioning that the custom of worshipping the strong has been around for a long time in this world. After Marse defeated Odie in a head-on duel, the power of the brave has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. In addition, Marse's blood-patterned armor is exactly the same as that of the Black Iron Giant Shield Heavy Hammer. Others will inevitably preconceivedly regard him as a "family member" who has encountered some kind of adventure by chance. It actually attracted several Black Iron Giant Shield Heavy Hammer fans to follow him and run around diligently.

Of course, the kitchen didn't know that Marse, the murderer, would come to visit, so the food Marse is eating now is actually prepared for another group of giant sword heavy swordsmen. But these unlucky guys can't even afford to offend Marse's fans, so how can they dare to say "no"? They can only admit that they are unlucky and move aside.

Fang Lin and the others didn't fight with Marse for oatmeal porridge. They carried two pig legs from the kitchen, washed and peeled them, and then smeared them with seasonings and grilled them. With the help of Babi, who had an extremely sensitive sense of smell, Lao Hu sniffed out two large barrels of fine wine from the kitchen. The color was as red as blood, and it was purchased by the chefs to honor the superiors, but was found by this group of fierce and rough men.

The amount of wine and meat was too much to finish in a short time. Lao Hu was generous and called Marse's fans to join him. These rough men had wine and meat, so they didn't care about anything else. It immediately became a party of eating and drinking. Those chefs saw Odie's miserable state. They were not interested in trying the hardness of Marse's hammer. They could only sigh in their hearts that they were unlucky. What else could they do except smile bitterly?

Because the senior staff in Stromberg were summoned to an emergency meeting, the violation of Fang Lin and others became a matter of those who were capable of managing it but did not have the status to do so, and those who had the status to manage it did not know about it. Now there were no mobile phones and other instant communication tools, so more and more people gradually joined the carnival dinner, and those who couldn't eat went to the kitchen to carry it themselves. They grilled food by themselves, and finally turned it into a big dinner.

…………..

The carnival was gradually coming to an end. Anyway, the weather was not too cold. Many strong men fell down in the square in front of the kitchen, using their armor as pillows. They fell asleep on the smooth bluestone ground, snoring like thunder, one after another. It became a spectacle.

The bonfire in the square was shining and swaying. Occasionally, there was a "crackling" sound. As the flames jumped, the light and dark light alternately dominated the faces of people, which looked particularly mysterious. Fang Lin's eyes and hair were illuminated by the fire, and they all emitted a strange light. It seemed that the flames had become the decoration of this man.

Fang Lin's slender fingers gently stroked the flames in an ambiguous way, letting it jump between his fingers. However, there was no expression of pain on Hongyi's face. On the contrary, he looked very happy.

In front of him sat the wretched Fu and Emerson who looked sad:

"You mean, we can't take Marse away? Even if he is willing?"

Wretched Fu nodded and said:

"Yes, Butcher Babi and I have been included in the servants of the master. If we want to take this big iron lump back by force, even if he is willing and meets the conditions, the points we have to spend are astronomical. More importantly, Marse must stay here to accompany Marina. He may not be willing to follow the master to fight everywhere."

Fang Lin listened but did not get angry. He smiled and nodded, and the flames that his fingertips touched also brightened:

"It seems that you are not destined to be with my red shock orb after all, Doctor."

In the previous banquet, hundreds of people sang loudly together, linked hands and danced Scottish tap dance, and drank a lot. In addition, Fang Lin and his team had the great merit of killing Merlin, so the plot characters in Stromberg were not wary of them and found out a lot of information.

First of all, it's about the item with a beautiful metal base and a red gem-shaped spherical ball on top. This item is called the Red Shocking Orb and is an E-level gold item. After using it, it can shake the earth and immediately cause up to 3,000 points of damage to the plot characters within a radius of 30 meters! (Causes half damage to the boss, no damage to the reincarnation but stuns for 2 seconds.), and if the plot character is killed by the shock wave of the red shocking orb, then the key will definitely fall out!

Secondly, this kind of shock orb is also divided into two colors: red and green. The red one is an E-level gold prop, and the green one is a D-level gold prop. The damage of both is the same. The difference is that the plot character is shocked by the green shock orb. If you are killed by a wave, what will definitely drop is not a key, but food that can be used in battle! These foods are unique to the world of the Round Table Knights.

Finally, there is information about the wand. The exact method of obtaining this treasure is also ominous. As for the usage effect, there is not much difference. The exact information is that the wand once appeared in Stromgarde and was hidden in a secret place.

After obtaining these three pieces of information, Fang Lin agreed to Emerson's conditions after careful analysis. If he could find a way to successfully bring the surrendered Marcel out of this world, this red shock orb would be given to him. Give him research. The power of this red shock orb looks quite powerful, but it must be used in a sea of ​​low-level soldiers with a high density and a terrifying number similar to the golden main line i world. For the boss, the key will be dropped under normal circumstances, but the value is somewhat useless.

………..

The meeting in Stromgarde lasted until late at night, and the ambition of the temporary fortress's disciplinary knight Scott finally defeated his caution. In this case, no matter what, you have to give it a try. It was precisely because of this that Fang Lin dared to enter the Rapids Castle. Otherwise, using their status to kill Frank, the number two man in Wheat Plains, would be a big or small crime no matter what.

However, when the disciplinary knight Scott ambitiously planned to launch his army, he suddenly saw 60% of the main combat force in the whole fort in the open square, drunk and snoring loudly. The anger and annoyance in his heart could be seen. Just imagine! Scott, who was very determined to show off his talents, really showed off his talents. When he realized that he was too tired to wake up these drunken guys, he ordered a large amount of river water to be drawn from the moat to "irrigate" the entire square!

This move immediately had a great effect. Large groups of half-naked men with hairy chests roared and jumped up in the cold river water. Their sleepy eyes were hazy and they kept talking obscenities. When they saw the surrounding environment clearly, they immediately stood at attention. Silent as a cicada. In the end, only the angry roar of Punishment Knight Scott echoed in the air...

It is worth mentioning that Fang Lin, the initiator of this situation, and his group were sleeping soundly under brand new military quilts in a warm wooden house not far away. The roar of Punishment Knight Scott made them frown. He turned over and covered his head with the quilt and continued to sleep.

They slept peacefully and boldly, because no matter how powerful the Fool was, it was unlikely that he would break into Stromgarde without warning and go wild. As for the number of reserve knights of the Holy Grail Knights who were required to be killed in the main mission one, they had already killed enough. , and lags the progress of the three heroes in the plot. The mission is to prevent him from passing through the Field of Wheat within 24 hours. Then you just need to wait quietly.

Sometimes Fang Lin even had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping that after the main task was completed, the punishment for the next main task three would be to deduct points after failure, so that the God of Wealth would pay the loan anyway. He could shamelessly ignore the main mission and stick to the impregnable Torrent Castle. The Fool was certainly strong and well-prepared, but if he dared to charge into the Torrent Castle, Fang Lin was 100% sure that he would be able to defeat him. There is no return! This choice is equivalent to paying the price of giving up the world's final evaluation of the Round Table Knights in exchange for stability and smooth entry into the top ten battlegrounds!

It's just that Fang Lin and the Fool, the real and fake enemies, seem destined to have a violent collision!

Fang Lin was awakened by the reminder from the nightmare mark while he was sleeping:

"The main mission you accepted has been completed."

"The second main mission you accepted was forcibly failed because the target: the mount of our own knight Braford has died. Therefore, the penalty points have been paid."

"The main mission three is closed. The conditions for opening the main mission four are met."

"Main mission four (team mission): within ten days, kill seven reincarnations of the opponent, and you can kill any one of the three heroes in the plot to get his blood! The consequences of mission failure: erasure. "

"Holy shit..." Fang Lin's facial muscles twitched because of the consequences of mission failure: erasing this line of blood-red characters! This made Fang Lin's wishful thinking completely come to nothing... To kill the seven reincarnations on the opposite side without alerting the Fool, and to kill any one of the three heroes in the plot, it must be a daydream!

What worries Fang Lin the most about the Fool is that he is probably being studied thoroughly by his enemies. There are only two things I know about the Fool: First, he has very weird skills. This skill is unexpected and hard to guard against. The second is that fools can use some special method to interfere with people's thoughts. It makes it difficult to concentrate, which is reflected in the specific data. For example, Fang Lin's Taoist bullet charging originally only takes two seconds, but under the interference of the Fool, it may be extended to more than three seconds!

To be fair, Fang Lin believes that fighting a fool in this world is really a wrong battle with the wrong enemy at the wrong time and in the wrong place. Therefore, he has been avoiding it, hoping to see the Fool's flaws. I hope that there will be a turn of events to avoid this battle. When the top ten compete for hegemony, the Fool who has removed his title skills will have nothing to fear.

But there are many things in this world that you cannot escape or hide from! Then you need to face this, and be extremely brave to lift the fog and rush forward!

Fang Lin took a deep breath. Although his eyes were closed, his whole body was as sharp as a tempered sword. murmured:

"If you want to fight, then fight!"

……………

Driven by the ambition of the acting castle lord to punish Knight Scott, the troops in Stromgarde rushed out in full force, surging like a flood that broke a bank and rushed to the Wheat Plains, immediately setting off a bloody storm!

This is actually a completely unequal battle. Although the three heroes in the plot are also legendary figures, in this short period of time, they used the manpower and material resources on the Wheat Plains to build a temporary army. Even with the help of a group of powerful reincarnations like the Fool, the lack of equipment is always a problem on earth.

In fact, the army that emerged from Stromgarde not only included the agile, duck-like steel knights in blue armor unique to the III world, but also purple magicians who used magic to transform into tigers and were good at large-scale intimidation spells. A Western ninja in red. It is no exaggeration to say that the army formed by the three heroes in the plot is at the middle level of the II world. It has to compete with the elite troops of the III world, if it were not for the great help of the reincarnations of the Fool. Then I believe that the army has already been defeated!

The two sides have fallen into a huge quagmire, and every village is harvesting human lives like a meat grinder! Those III world reincarnators who followed the Fool used those armed farmers as human shields, and they were extremely lethal. Scott, the acting fortress disciplinary knight, looked at the increasing number of casualties, and his heart became heavier and heavier, and he was bleeding. !

Such casualties have long exceeded the psychological bottom line of the acting castle master's punishment of knight Scott, but he is currently riding a tiger with difficulty! You know, if you retreat back in such a dejected manner now. When Allen came back, he found that the casualties were so huge, but he didn't make any achievements and was beaten back in despair. That means he didn't even have to be a deputy! So Scott could only grit his teeth and hold on, as if he was a gambler who got red when the stock market plummeted and watched the stocks he held plummet. In order to reduce costs, he could only buy at low prices at all costs, hoping that A miracle happens!

It's just that the fool's life is also not easy. Before he entered the world, he thought he had figured out Fang Lin's behavior pattern, and he was really sure of taking advantage of every opportunity to kill him. But after entering this world. Even after repeated setbacks, he had to work very hard to maintain a situation of neither superior nor inferior in the battle of wits with Fang Lin. Wait until Fang Lin raids the War Village. After killing Merlin, he disappeared. The Fool had guessed that this guy might be in Stromgarde. It's just that his mind had been confused by Fang Lin's weird methods before, and he had lost the normalcy he had when he first entered the world of the Round Table Knights. He hesitated and thought that this might be Fang Lin's trick, so he gave Fang Lin three full days. Days of buffering waiting time!

Although the Fool took action like a spring breeze and was nowhere to be found, a single tree cannot make a forest. The Fool alone could not achieve anything. However, the strength of the several reincarnations he invited was exposed under the impact of the troops in the iii world difficulty. For most of the time, Fang Lin, who was hiding in the dark, used Xin Yuan's true eyes to figure out the activities of the Fool and others, and began to take the initiative to challenge! A trap was set in a village!

The one who fell into the trap was the Fool’s number one general, Black Thorn, who was proficient in ninjutsu! When he was tired and comfortable and killed the last slave of the evil Grand Duke in the village, he suddenly found that he was drenched with a jar of bright red liquid that came out of thin air.

That's a can of wine!

This time, no matter how erratic his figure was and how mysterious his whereabouts were when he escaped, Bobby's nose had firmly memorized the smell of red wine and captured him!

After Blackthorn realized that he could no longer get rid of the group of pursuers behind him, he did not speak immediately. He just pulled out the knife at his waist and rushed over. At this time, words were unnecessary. The brave man wins when they meet on a narrow road! The warm blood sprayed by the enemy or yourself is the best interpretation of the ending.

However, Lin Yinxiu flew up from Nana's broad back, with the light green Sword of Escape placed across his chest. His posture was as if he was rushing towards the prosperous Luoxia, but he felt quite concerned about this enemy in his heart. I admire that at this moment when he was almost ambushed from all sides, Black Thorn did not retreat, dodge, hide or struggle.

He only goes in! What comes to mind in despair is to fight back!

But after Black Thorn and Lin Yinxiu exchanged blows, Lin Yinxiu was able to regain his breath, but Black Thorn had to face the impact of a terrifying blood-patterned steel armor knight riding a fiery red horse. Behind the knight was He ran and followed the five black iron heavy shield giant hammer warriors who seemed to be convinced. The neat and natural murderous aura that was gathered together could almost stop the flow of water, and was invincible to anyone who encountered them.

After another clash, Blackthorn already felt that his arm almost didn't belong to him. The knife rubbed in the sheath, making a sharp and piercing sound, and sparks were dazzling! Blackthorn began to regret why he acted alone. In his heart, there was a sad and agitated thought: if he didn't succeed, he would die! Just because of this person's existence, the dream that was right in front of him was shattered into a sad fantasy. He was full of resentment and had nowhere to vent. He ignored the reunion with Marse and wanted to vent his anger on Fang Lin, who was in control of everything.

But Fang Lin was prepared. When he saw Blackthorn's intention to rush over, he took out the silver plot weapon defender with a bracket installed, squinted his eyes and poured dense bullets towards Blackthorn. The most vicious thing was that most of Fang Lin's bullets were shot at Blackthorn's lower three roads. The intention was obvious, that is, to cut off the retreat of this reincarnation who was fighting like a trapped beast!

The armed militiamen led by Blackthorn kept falling down with screams, and then the main force of the evil Grand Duke's army came out, which was the greatsword heavy swordsmen from Stromgarde. These people fought in a way of cutting melons and vegetables. Blackthorn chopped off a masked servant in front of him with a knife, but immediately two more masked servants rushed up! When Blackthorn killed these enemies who stuck to him like sticky candy, he was already panting slightly. He held the knife across his chest, and the blade trembled slightly, making a "buzzing" sound, revealing a rare trace of fatigue.

Lin Yinxiu took this opportunity to slash out with the Eight Phases Breaking Technique. Hei Ji shouted wildly and actually used the blade as a shield to push forward. There were only continuous crisp sounds of "ding ding ding". Every time Lin Yinxiu used the skill in a hurry, she stabbed the back of the blade. Lin Yinxiu was actually pushed back by the great force accumulated in the blade. The two chased and retreated. It seemed that Hei Ji, who used the back and blade to suppress the enemy, had the upper hand, but he also knew that he must not give the other party a chance to counterattack. As long as she had a chance to counterattack, it would definitely cause him great trouble!

The wind danced in the clothes, and the black hair fluttered. While the two looked at each other and confronted each other, they were both in a very high-speed advance and retreat. This was a dynamic confrontation. Whether it was moving or still, it fully interpreted the danger of the current situation.
