Chapter 351 Not at Full Strength
Chapter 351 Not at Full Strength
Because he had to guard against possible ambushes by the demon army, and Russell would need to go to other surrounding military towns for support later, he did not immediately use his strongest strength.
But even so, the demon army in the distant Jizhou Town fell into chaos because of his arrival.
Of course the main reason was that he was frightened by the ghost of Chris.
Without paying any attention to the demons that were already in chaos in the distance, Russell focused his attention on the demonized card maker under the city wall.
"A diamond-level demonized card maker?"
Russell could tell from his aura that the other party was terribly powerful. An ordinary diamond-level being would never be his opponent, no matter if it was a demon or a card maker.
It is obvious that compared to Li Shuo's technology which was not perfect at the beginning, the technology of the demon army has been improved a lot now.
Combined with recent events, Russell thought of a possibility in an instant.
“Jin Ping must have contributed as well.”
"It just seems like this technology isn't something he wants."
Long time ago, Russell had handed over the demonization technology that he had tampered with to Jinping.
And everything that happened afterwards was just as he expected. Without key information, Jinping made no progress in the development of this technology.
But after Russell left the Qiling Society, Jinping must have realized that there was something wrong with the technique he submitted.
But after all, it has been researched for such a long time, and with the recent conflict with the demon army, it is not surprising that this technology will have a breakthrough with the efforts of both sides.
However, judging from the fact that Jin Ping still appeared in human form on the coast of Shanghai, he probably did not like this technology.
Of course, it is also possible that there are no suitable master-level demon remains.
"Luo Qing, do you know the identity of the demon down there?"
At this moment, Petrovna noticed Russell, who was lost in thought.
The girl is certainly not a fool, and a fool cannot become a diamond-level card maker. She just has a low emotional intelligence.
Of course, a nicer way to put it is being straightforward.
Petrovna's voice brought Russell back to reality, but he did not respond to her. Instead, he looked at Zhang Jingxing on the side and said, "Brother, this is the product of the demonization experiment. You should have seen it, right?"
Hearing this, Zhang Jingxing shook his head slightly.
He was indeed shocked by the strength of the khaki figure at first, but as a veteran diamond-level card maker, he quickly calmed down.
But unlike Russell who had come into contact with Li Shuo, Zhang Jingxing did not recognize the other party's identity. He just thought he was a more powerful demon.
Russell was somewhat surprised by this, but he did not dwell on such trivial matters: "Forget it, let's control him first."
"I think the other masters should be of some use."
As he said that, he prepared to use his card to control the opponent.
At this moment, Petrovna, who was listening in confusion, said hurriedly: "Mr. Luo, what is the demonization experiment you are talking about?"
She was very anxious now, feeling like an irrelevant person who couldn't get a word in at all.
Hearing this, Russell spoke to comfort him: "Your Highness, a copy of the relevant information will be given to the Empire later, so don't worry."
This is as it should be. As the two parties are allies, there is no need for the Ming Dynasty to hide this kind of information.
But Petrovna was not satisfied.
The empire is the empire, and she is her. So doesn't she still know nothing now?
It makes her seem like a mascot.
Although in Russell's mind, the girl is a mascot.
But since Russell had said so, the girl had no reason to continue asking, so she just said sullenly: "Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Luo."
Russell could certainly see Petrovna's little emotions, but he was not her nanny, so he was not prepared to take care of her emotions in such a small matter.
At this time, the ochre-colored figure under the city wall of Jizhou Town had also noticed the changes happening behind him.
But for him, it is now too late to back down.
It was impossible for him to break through Jizhou Town alone.
He retreated and went crazy to find the master behind him to fight desperately.
Fortunately, he won't have to worry about it anymore soon.
"Hee hee hee"
The sound of faint laughter came from behind the ochre figure, causing him to turn his head suddenly to look.
However, before he saw the human figure, he saw a huge fist with a pitch-black luster rushing straight towards his face, and the violent wind from the fist made his face skin move.
"Diamond level card?!"
Seeing this, the khaki figure's pupils shrank, and he immediately prepared to summon his own cards to block.
However, the next moment, the oncoming giant fist instantly opened its five fingers and pinched it hard in the palm of his hand.
The difference in strength meant that the khaki figure had no ability to resist at all.
Now that the battle situation is under his control, Russell is not planning to cosplay as Mebius.
He was afraid that starting a battle right there would damage the city wall of Jizhou Town, so he asked Luffy to capture the person.
whoosh-
As the demonized card maker was captured by Luffy, a pitch-black crescent-shaped slash swept across the sky in an instant, and the thick clouds were instantly split in two.
The demonized card maker couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat as he watched Crescent Moon Sky Chong flying past his body and into the distance.
"What's going on?! Is this really a diamond-level card?!"
Without time to think, he immediately summoned out all his cards.
However, at this moment, countless dark fist shadows tore through the clouds and suppressed him in an instant.
"Damn it, let's fight!"
Just as the demonized card maker had this thought, another crescent-shaped sky-piercing arrow silently passed through his body.
The battle was over before even a few minutes had passed.
Of course, to Russell, who successfully cut off the tail of the nation-destroying fox and killed Chris, the demonized card maker outside the city was just a slightly stronger ant.
It would be strange if a battle of three hundred rounds was really necessary.
Looking at the battle that had subsided in the distance, Petrovna opened her mouth slightly and said, "Mr. Luo, you..."
The girl originally thought that Fang Wenlong's comment that Russell could be considered a master card maker was because of the card of the white-bearded old man.
But it doesn’t seem to be the case right now?
Compared to Petrovna who was already mentally prepared, the card makers from Jizhou Town present were already in a daze.
Where have they ever seen a scene where diamond-grade students are slaughtered like pigs?
Zhang Jingxing turned his head mechanically and looked fixedly at his calm junior fellow student beside him.
The figure in the memory who was fleeing in a panic at the hands of the diamond-level demon Ruth slowly overlapped with the figure at this moment who did not take the diamond level seriously at all.
Ignoring his senior brother's complicated expression, Russell took back all his cards and said, "Then, senior brother, I'll leave the aftermath to you."
"I have to go support other places."
Hearing this, Zhang Jingxing came back to his senses immediately. He took a deep breath to calm his agitated mood and said solemnly: "Leave this to me."
"Be careful, junior brother." Hearing his senior brother's concern, Russell smiled slightly and immediately disappeared on the spot.
Petrovna was not brought along.
Seeing that she was left behind, Petrovna was stunned at first, then she stamped her feet angrily: "Humph, Luo Qing must have done it on purpose."
Zhang Jingxing pretended not to hear the complaint of the noble girl in front of him, and just said calmly: "Your Highness, I will take you back to the city to rest first."
At this point, Petrovna had no other choice. She couldn't run around alone, so she could only say with some emotion: "Then I'll trouble Zhang Qing."
the other side.
After leaving Jizhou Town, Russell rushed to Shanhaiguan.
With the help of Spider-Man, it didn't take him much time.
Different from Jizhou Town, the pressure faced by Shanhaiguan was not that great. Russell didn't even need to use other cards. Yamamoto Shigekuni alone was able to suppress it.
Of course, there is also the [Fire-Fire Ten Trillion Death Burial Array] which is extremely useful against groups, and in this kind of battlefield environment, it can also roll a terrifying snowball.
At this moment, the demon that had been attacking Jizhou Town not long ago appeared in front of Shanhaiguan.
In the form of a dead soul.
What happened next was exactly the same as what happened in Jizhou Town. After Chris appeared on the scene, the demon army lost its will to fight.
After dealing with the demon army, Russell stood in the air and nodded to the Northern Defense Army on the city wall who still hadn't reacted, then disappeared from the spot, leaving a group of card makers looking at each other in bewilderment.
After a long while, the commander of Shanhaiguan asked in a confused voice:
"Is that sir the newly promoted master card maker of our Ming Dynasty? How come I have never heard of this?"
The only response he got was dead silence. It was obvious that no one present could answer his question.
He took a deep breath, glanced at the charred land in the distance, and instructed the card maker who was still a little dazed beside him: "Why are you still standing there? Go and clean up the battlefield."
As his words fell, everyone present woke up as if from a dream and quickly responded, "Yes!"
In addition to Shanhaiguan and Jizhou Town, there are also some small strongholds in this area that are also besieged by the demon army.
Some of them they dealt with themselves, while others were destroyed only after Russell arrived.
A large number of people fled as soon as he arrived, as if they had seen some plague god.
Seeing this scene, Russell couldn't help but frown slightly: "Did the news spread so quickly?"
Of course he knew that the Demon Army had its own intelligence system. After all, when Xiao Wu was serving in the Northern Defense Army, he had been labeled a "high-risk target."
Not to mention Yamamoto Shigekuni at the moment.
Unfortunately, what the demon army did not know was that, strictly speaking, Yamamoto Shigekuni could only be considered one of Russell's main forces.
"This is crazy, how come this group of outsiders has another master-level fighter."
"Can the military leaders really control the situation going forward?"
Fear spread among the demon army.
At some point, the hunter and the prey quietly and silently switched identities.
Demon Army.
Several military leaders immediately received intelligence about the appearance of a master-level existence at the front line.
"So that's it." The military leader, who was shrouded in darkness, suddenly realized and couldn't help muttering to himself, "Is this the reason why the Ming Dynasty is willing to unite with Tsarist Russia?"
"But how come there is no news at all?"
It is no small matter for a diamond-level card maker to break through to the master level. Logically, the information should have been revealed long ago.
At this time, the white-robed demon, who was surrounded by clouds and mist, looked indifferent. He waved his sleeves and a smooth mirror appeared in the field: "This is the picture sent by my men. You can all take a look."
Hearing this, several military leaders present immediately held their breath and began to concentrate on viewing the images in the mirror.
However, perhaps the demon in the footage was too frightened, so the camera was shaking violently, and there were some rapid breathing sounds from time to time, making the viewing experience extremely bad.
A scream was heard in the picture, and it seemed that the demon who was fleeing accidentally fell to the ground.
What followed was a panicked crawl.
As the demon crawled, he would look back from time to time to check the situation behind him.
It was at this time that the several military leaders present saw the real person's appearance.
An old man with a white beard and a bald head wearing a large haori.
After seeing Yamamoto Shigekuni's appearance, several soldiers had the same thought in their minds: "This is a card I've never seen before."
"And what are these wrecks?"
Looking at the charred skeletons scattered all over the battlefield, several people couldn't help but frown.
With just this little bit of information, they had no way of judging the opponent's strength.
But soon, something happened that surprised them.
"Am I seeing this correctly? Did he bring our dead back to the battlefield?"
The military leader, who was shrouded in darkness, murmured to himself in disbelief.
As the image in the mirror came to an abrupt end, the scene fell into dead silence.
After a long while, the commander of the demon army who was in charge of the experiment spoke up and said, "I do know some relevant information about the holder of this card. It was shared with me by Jinping."
"only"
"He was only a diamond-level card maker not long ago."
As he spoke, he threw an electronic device into the field, and then a light curtain appeared in front of everyone.
What was playing on the light screen was the scene of Russell's battle with the nation-destroying fox.
The demons watched the entire battle in silence, their faces showing uncertain expressions.
"He actually broke through to the master level so quickly?"
At this moment, even the white-robed demon, who always appeared calm, showed some surprise on his face.
After a while, the white-armored female demon who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "Let's call this card [Dead Corpse]."
"For the next two days, let your men stop attacking, so as to avoid being used as food by him."
"Also inform Jinping that the backup plan he has arranged can be used now."
Since he was not at the scene, several demon army leaders regarded Yamamoto Shigekuni as the master-level combat force mentioned in the intelligence, and also believed that the old man's abilities were related to death and summoning.
They never expected that Yamamoto Shigekuni was not a master-level card, and his abilities and death basically had nothing to do with him.
Russell is not even a master card maker.
This is the case when one is afraid of the consequences.
But even if he knew, Russell wouldn't take it to heart.
He wished that others would think of him as a diamond-level card maker who was taking advantage of the power of others.
After all, the last person did that.
His name is Chris, and the grass on his grave is now three meters high.
