"puff……"
Not everyone is as proficient in combat as Washizu and the others.
More villagers who stood up to join the battle were just ordinary villagers. They had no armor or serious weapons, and all they held in their hands were ordinary farm tools or mining picks.
The only difference between them and other villagers was that they were stronger and more resistant to beatings.
"Brother, how are you?" Jiangxia Erlang threw away the hoe in his hand, lifted up his eldest brother who was lying on the ground, and asked with lingering fear.
If he hadn't reacted quickly just now, he might have been stabbed.
"I...I'm okay. Look at the third child. He's at the front." Taro Eshita covered his bleeding abdomen and used the pickaxe as a crutch with his other hand to lift himself up from the ground.
"I...I'm fine, it's just that the newly forged iron pot at home yesterday is useless." Eshita Sanjiro also got up from the ground.
He raised the iron pot with a big hole in his hand and was still discharged, and said with regret.
This pot was newly made by their family. They didn't even cook a few meals before a big hole was forced out of it. It's impossible to say that they don't feel distressed.
The leading sergeant frowned when he saw the three lively villagers. He turned to look at the soldier next to him who had just used the evil eye, and said angrily: "Get rid of it quickly! Don't let any more accidents happen!"
Then, he took the others and left here without looking back. The sergeant believed that all his soldiers were first-rate soldiers.
It was easy to deal with three ordinary villagers without using the evil eye, not to mention that the soldier had now used the evil eye.
As for why the three villagers survived just now, it was probably because the soldiers were not proficient in using elemental power for the first time.
Eshita Sanshiro panicked when he saw the purple lightning flashing in the soldier's hands. The pot at home was destroyed by this move. Now that the pot is gone, what will they use to block it?
"Brother, what should I do?" Exia Erlang helped Exia Taro and pursed his lips.
Taro Eshita had a gash in his abdomen and couldn't run fast at all. If you want to avoid the soldier's attack, you must abandon your elder brother.
"You... go away quickly, don't worry about me." Taro Eshita obviously knew that he was a burden. He stretched out his hand to push Jiro Eshita away, took a few steps forward, and stood in front of his two younger brothers.
"No..." Eshita Jiro and Eshita Sanjiro shook their heads. They grabbed Eshita Taro's arms and looked like they would never let go.
"Jie Jie Jie, if that's the case, then let's all die!" The soldier laughed coldly, and the thunder and lightning in his hand became a little stronger.
He was a little worried that the strength he had just now was not enough to kill these three strange guys in front of him.
Because he had attacked with this level of force before, and only broke an iron pot, but there were no injuries on the three people.
In fact, it was not without any results. The bleeding wound on the belly of the fattest guy was his masterpiece.
But the soldier was wondering, could lightning cause a bleeding wound? He didn't know that he had never been struck by lightning.
"Suffer to death!"
"呲呲呲!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The soldier's movements paused, and the sky suddenly became brighter. Several golden thunderbolts fell from the sky, dispersing the vast darkness.
The light only fell on the soldiers. In the golden light, it was impossible to see what was happening.
When the light dissipated, darkness enveloped the earth again. And the figure of the soldier actually disappeared into the darkness.
"boom!"
The dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came, and Jiro Eshita trembled and poked the black carbon-like object not far in front of him with the hoe in his hand.
"Boom!"
"Brother...Brother, this guy has turned into carbon." Eshita Jiro looked at the ground around him again, and there were many similar carbon-like objects in it.
"There are others too."
Seeing this, Jiangxia Erlang added.
"Don't whine when fighting, neither you nor them."
Just as Jiangxia Erlang was still in shock, a huge figure appeared in front of the three brothers.
"Meng...Mr. Meng?"
Taro Eshita saw a familiar figure and immediately recognized it. There is no other reason than that Mengt's characteristics are too obvious.
"Just call me by my first name." Mengt walked up to Taro Liangxia, lifted up his shirt, and looked at his wounds.
"The scratches caused by the fragments only hurt the skin, nothing serious. Your weapons are not very good and they are not well designed."
Menggert shook his head. The tendency of the blade to fly when the weapon collapsed was also an important indicator of whether the weapon was good or not.
"This..., you are right." Hearing this, Taro Eshita breathed a sigh of relief at first, and then scratched his head in embarrassment.
arms? Can hoes, pickaxes, and cauldrons be called weapons?
Menggert saw Dalang's subtle expression and looked at the three of them again.
"..."
"I take back what I said earlier, the pot is good." Menggert twitched the corner of his mouth. In terms of weapons, this pot is very unqualified, but in terms of quality, it can be said to be the best among pots.
"That's natural. People who eat should be taken seriously." Taro Eshita laughed a few times when he heard Mengt's praise.
Although it was a pity that the iron pot was broken, it could help them withstand a blow full of elements, which was enough to prove the reliability of its quality.
I will buy this pot next time!
"Ha." Menggert smiled helplessly, "If you don't have fighting skills, don't fight. If it weren't for me just now, you would have died."
After saying that, Menggote walked away from here.
It seems that Feimu Village still has a lot of room for improvement.
"Well..." Seeing Menggert's quickly disappearing back, Eshita Taro pondered for a moment, and then responded with a sense of hindrance: "He doesn't want me to live, and he has to fight even if he doesn't know how to fight for his life!"
Chapter 419 Aftermath
2024-01-16
On a rooftop, Menggert's closed eyes opened. He looked up at the edge of the fiery red Feimu Village in the distance and sat down cross-legged.
"What? Are you done?" Yu Hu, who was writing furiously on the roof, paused for a while, and then started writing again.
Menggert raised his head and glanced slightly, and saw that under the column of Shanghai Island in the notebook, negative numbers such as "-3", "-1", "-2"... and so on were increasing rapidly.
Not only that, there are various detailed reasons behind each negative number.
For example, the reason behind the "-3" item is "the rebels harmed the people"; and the reason behind the "-1" item becomes "intentional damage to people's residences".
Seeing this, Menggert silently withdrew his gaze. If Ember remembers it this way, it would indeed take a while to write.
"Almost, we should deal with the aftermath later." Menggert felt the news from the clones and nodded in confirmation.
"Don't care about the fire outside?" Yi Yan looked up and saw the raging flames burning outside Feimu Village.
"Someone is digging a fire trench." Meng Tehelong's fingernails quickly became larger and thicker, and soon turned into a shovel.
"And it digs very quickly." His palm returned to its previous appearance and he added.
"So, the people in Feimu Village are pretty good at using the power of the furnace?" Yi Yan became curious when he saw this.
Using the power of the furnace is a power that only the furnace knight can have, and not even Menggert has been able to use it before.
In the past, the most Monggert could do was use his existing characteristics to fight and control his growing limbs independently, but he was not yet good enough.
Now that Menggert can control the remaining power of the furnace so easily in his body, in the final analysis, he has to thank Ember.
"No, Wang is worrying too much. At most, they can just use the abilities they already have to divide the work."
"There is still a long way to go before we can control the power of the furnace." Menggert shook his head. The people of Feimu Village were just a "bad omen" at best.
It's just that instead of horns, what grows on them are all kinds of weird things.
"Okay..." Yi Yan lowered his head and started writing again. Then he seemed to suddenly remember something and asked casually: "Can you teach them how to use the power in their bodies?"
"In this case, I guess it won't work." Menggert looked down at his palm and rarely rejected Ember.
"As for myself, I can only control the power of the furnace with the power left by the king. In this regard, the furnace knight is the expert."
Menggert laughed at himself.
"Those red iron pieces?" Yi Yan's writing hand stopped.
What is the number one evil force in the border area? A magician? Is it a flying dragon? Is it a black knife?
No, the number one evil force in the border area is the Crucible Knight.
The bodies of the knights who carried the power of the initial furnace had long since been transformed into inhuman beings during the continuous smelting.
Ember even suspected that the red armor on their bodies was no longer just armor, but part of their bodies.
Perhaps the evolution of their bodies is no longer limited to the biological aspects.
How do you describe 16 Crucible Knights coming together? Demi god? Is the brain of a demigod as strong as the fist of the Crucible Knight?
"Exactly, the Furnace Knight can not only teach them how to use the power of the furnace in their bodies, but also teach them more things."
"For example, they are more proficient in things like coordination and combat skills than I am."
Menggert continued.
"Oh, I understand." Yi Yan nodded, "Look again, look again, they are a bit fierce, calling them here will not have a good impact."
Why is the Crucible Knight said to be fierce? Mainly because they can't see others drinking.
Every time Ember tried to use the red and blue Holy Grail Dettol to replenish blood and restore mana, the Furnace Knight pounced on him like a chicken. Those who didn't know thought Ember had killed his whole family!
Later, Ember asked the Furnace Knights why, but they hesitated and couldn't explain why.
According to them, when they see others raising their hands to drink, they can't help but want to rush over and interrupt others' actions, and they can't control it at all.
Ember thought about it for a long time, and finally classified "The Crucible Knight doesn't like others to drink" into an unsolved mystery like the left bow skill, ring direct cancellation and other strange phenomena.
I hope I will have the opportunity to solve the puzzle in the future!
"King, Feimu Village should deal with the aftermath." Just as Ember was thinking about the mystery of the Furnace Knight hating other people's drinking, Menggote's voice came over.
"So fast?" Yi Yan came back to his senses, a little surprised.
"Let's take a look together. I didn't expect Inazuma to have quite a lot of insects." Closing the notepad in his hand, Ember jumped off the roof and ran towards the outskirts of Feimu Village.
