Chapter 616 Rust Rose
Chapter 616 Rust Rose
Year 265 of the Calendar of the Gods.
Northern Continent, northern part of the Holy Empire.
An endless and majestic Great Wall stretches across the land, reaching the sea on the east and west sides.
To the north of the Great Wall are ice fields and forests covered with snow all year round, where barbarians thrive and multiply, always coveting their warm homeland. To the south of the Great Wall is the Northern Province of the Empire, where the Northern Duke family has ruled this land for hundreds of years.
Northeastern Northland.
Across the sea, one can vaguely see the huge Sea Serpent Island with mountains on the opposite side, where a large number of indigenous tribes live. Since the first year of the Gods' Calendar, they have always refused to surrender to the empire and often act as pirates to plunder the coast.
In order to ensure the transfer of some rear supplies of the Holy Great Wall and to defend against barbarians and pirates, the Empire built a fortress city in the northeast of the North. Since the Church War in the 200th year of the Gods Calendar, this has been the territory of the Augusta Family.
The Duke's family in the North had many vassals, including the Augusta family. Over the past sixty years, the Augusta family had spawned several branches. One of the territories declined, leaving only the Rock Town near the coast, which was not wealthy and full of threats.
Storms and plunder are the main themes along the coast of Augusta Territory.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
"Woman, I want a woman!"
"What are these pirates mumbling about!"
"The Baron has been captured!"
On the several-meter-high rock walls, hundreds of pirates were attacking the defense line. The total number of Rock Town militia reached two hundred people, but facing the bloodthirsty and ferocious descendants of sea snakes, they were still at a disadvantage.
boom!
A pirate magician mobilized his magic power and released the Undying-level spell Sea Serpent. A thick sea serpent spell whizzed out and crashed into the rock wall, smashing it in the middle and killing several militiamen.
Three hundred people "fought" together. Several knights under the command of Baron Rhine, led by the great knight vassal, put up a stubborn resistance. Behind the city wall were their own fields, manors and castles. Once Rock Town fell, the next step was to defeat them one by one.
“Where’s the support?”
"Didn't you send someone for help?"
"Three militiamen come over here. We can't hold on here any longer."
On the beach, the war seemed to have ended here. The pirate leader Alet was tearing the pickled fish and white bread in his hands. Before attacking the Rock Town, he had led the pirates to capture two villages. The Sea Snake Island is full of mountains, and it is difficult to grow grains.
"You don't look panicked, Baron."
Alette looked at the young man in front of him. In fact, they did not catch him. When he first came ashore, the baron was locked in a prison car and stayed alone on the coast.
There was no answer, but Alette was certain that the other person had woken up. Like a fine sculpture coming to life, the person exuded an increasingly stunning beauty that was hard to ignore.
Alet smiled. The scars on his face piled up, looking particularly scary. He said casually:
"Ever since the prophecy of Ragnarok spread, there have been more and more strange things."
"To be honest, I'm actually very strong."
"But there are towns and castles along the coast here. Suffering heavy casualties would be against my duty as a chief. In that case, Baron, which lord do you think will respond to your request for help?"
More than 800 pirates were hiding on a dozen wooden boats not far away. Alette showed a bloodthirsty smile. Winter was approaching, and they could not meet the needs of the tribe by crossing the sea to capture only a small rural town. His ambition was even greater.
Whoosh!
On the battlefield on the city wall, a pirate captain beheaded the great knight, and the defense line formed by the militia was about to collapse.
Alette stood up and was about to step forward to stop the pirates to prevent Rock Town from falling too quickly, but he felt a cold gaze piercing his back. He quickly distanced himself and looked back.
"Hey, hey, hey, this is not right." In the prison car, Jiang He opened his eyes silently. Faced with such a familiar start, he was no longer surprised. As his hands and feet moved, the prison car shattered like thin paper.
Ariete's smile disappeared completely.
"Storm above, Alet, the son of the sea serpent, will win today and will eventually answer the prophecy, seize half of Augusta Territory and dedicate it to the gods."
Jiang He tilted his head and mumbled something.
After half a quarter of an hour of operation, the anger and great magic reversed most of the charm and was suppressed to a level that would not cause a riot.
The next moment, a human-shaped guardian spirit appeared beside Ariete, with a slowly rotating dark red rose full of rust on its head, and rust dust lingering between its petal-like eyes. This is the great power of an ordinary hero in this world.
"We have caught a really big fish."
call!
The guardian spirit charged forward at high speed, its heavy footsteps crushing the sand on the beach, leaving behind footprints. When its eyes were fixed on Jiang He's neck, the ability of the guardian spirit, Rust Rose, was activated.
In an instant, the flesh exposed between the collar of the Tianyi dragon robe began to rust violently, the fair skin cracked and fell off, and black blood flowed out.
Jiang He felt his own damage with great interest. It was obvious that among the great knights of this world, there were types that focused on rules. Perhaps it was because of the relationship with the February Lord, the Divine Knight, the attack of the pirates in front of him successfully bypassed his immortal status.
"what happened."
Alette's face was extremely solemn, as if facing a powerful enemy.
If the enemy was a normal golden-level knight, Rusty Rose could kill him instantly, but the Baron's resistance was incredibly high. Even now, his neck had not been rusted and cracked.
The guardian spirit launched a heavy blow, which was accompanied by strands of sharp wind, and its fist was completely rusted.
boom!
Under Alette's horrified gaze, an uppercut was thrown at an incredible speed. He could barely see a trace of the afterimage, but his body and consciousness were unable to react at all.
Click.
Rust Rose's head exploded.
Alette roared in shock, his head was like cracked porcelain, his guardian spirit was severely damaged, and the Knight of Great Deeds himself also suffered damage, and he almost died instantly.
Wow!
As the guardian spirit's head explodes, nearly invisible rust dust spreads around it, causing rust damage to the internal organs. The effect is rapid and fatal. Unless a great hero who is good at healing takes action, the person will surely die.
Alette laughed bitterly: "You are finished!"
Jiang He said nothing, and golden flames rose from his body.
Not only the rust in the body, but even the rust on the neck disappeared. The mysterious suppressive power of the sun's authority was terrifying.
In an instant.
Jiang He came behind Ariete and grabbed his neck with one hand. The Crown of Hades on his head began to materialize. A figure made of death wielded a sickle, cutting countless holes in the body of his prey. Countless soul light threads entangled him, and finally he completed the control.
Special innate talent: Ten Thousand Human Puppets - Control the Scythe of All Spirits to injure the target and cause penetrating wounds. With the help of soul light threads, the target's body can be controlled. The number of wounds is proportional to the degree of control. The maximum number: one.
The crown of Hades fell on Alette's head. His originally ferocious eyes became dead silent, and he was completely reduced to the body of a human puppet. He lost his self but retained his ability to think.
"Do some dirty work in the future." Jiang He said casually.
Nearly a thousand pirates could come in handy sometimes.
