"What time is it?" In the Legion Chief's office, Jacques Yuppel used the best fish oil to care for the long sword in his hand, and asked his adjutant without raising his head.
"Nine forty-three." The adjutant looked at his watch for the fourth time and answered accurately.
Although it was just a simple question of time, this question has been asked four times since dark, and the adjutant who followed Jacques Yupel for ten years knew that this has never happened in the past. However, this situation now only shows that there is no absolute certainty in the mind of this recognized master of Weilun mainland's first swordsmanship against the challenger.
It's just that as a clever lieutenant, even if he sees this, he can't say it, even when he goes to bet, he has to press his boss to win.
Perhaps in order to confirm the adjutant's guess, Jacques Huper suddenly commanded: "Go and bring me the copper box in the drawer."
The adjutant was stunned, and then walked quietly to the desk, took a slap-sized copper box from the drawer, and gave it to Jacques Huper.
Jacques Huppert opened the box and took out a purple metal ring with cracks on the surface. After a little hesitation, he put the ring on his hand.
When he saw Jacques Yuppel putting the ring on, the adjutant's face was a little shocked. In the past ten years, he had only seen Jacques Yuppel putting on the ring three times. As far as he knows, this ring has a magical power that can protect the wearer, so those three times when the ring was worn by Jacques Huppert was not sure to defeat the challenger.
This is also the case. Although in the end, Jacques Yuppel became the winner, but each time it was a win, and every time there was a lethal danger, and the three challengers were not like other challengers. Saved his life, but because Jacques Huppert couldn't take his hand, he was killed on the spot.
"Is everything I told you to do this afternoon done?" Jacques Huppert suddenly asked again.
"I've done it. The people in the black market are all good slave hunters who have worked in Mozambique." The adjutant responded quickly: "They are already ambushed in the forest around the military camp. Anyone who enters will definitely be punished. They grab."
"Hmm!" Jacques Huppert nodded, then inserted the long sword in his waist into the scabbard of his waist, turned around and patted the adjutant's shoulder, said, "I don't want this to be known by others, nor to replace it. A familiar lieutenant, so it’s better to speak more tightly. If I hear anything about it outside, you should know what the consequences are."
The expression on the adjutant's face immediately became tense and serious, lowering his head and saying, "Please rest assured, I will definitely not reveal a word to the outside."
Jacques Huppert did not let the adjutant swear, because he never believed in any swear, he thought that as long as his strength and power were strong enough, the adjutant would not do anything against him, if his strength and power were weak Even if you make a vicious oath, it will be possible to violate it.
After tidying up the bits and pieces of his body to make himself in the best condition, Jacques Huper walked out of the office and walked outside the main entrance of the barracks, and the adjutant quickly followed.
The two soon came outside the barracks, the lawn that had been restored, and the officers staying at the door of the barracks saluted Jacques Huppert. Although their senses of Jacques Huppert are very common, they should not be less courteous. They always offer Jacques Huppert as a real army commander.
If at ordinary times, Jacques Huppert might still be fooling with these hypocritical and hypocritical guys, but now his mind is all on the challenger who issued the war post, so he simply ignored the salute of the officers around him and directly He walked to the lawn surrounded by torches, and looked anxiously at the only way to Miria City.
A little bit of time passed, and it was almost ten o'clock. When a blurry figure appeared in the distance of the road, the figure walked very fast. For a moment, it was under the tree guards on both sides of the road. Torch on the lawn.
At this time, all the people saw clearly the appearance of the coming person. I saw that the person was wearing a long-dead Falcon Knight servant half-body armor, with a metal mask for the banquet on his face, and two looks across his waist. The ordinary knight cross sword, the whole person looks a little weird.
"You are the descendant of the Perini family?" Jacques Huppert questioned when the coming man walked on the lawn surrounded by torches, using a voice that only two people on the lawn could hear: "According to As far as I know, the Perini family has long been cut off, and there are no descendants at all, you..."
Before Jacques Huppert finished speaking, a slightly hoarse voice interrupted him, and said in Old French: "You defeated me, and I tell you where are the two cross swords? As for Am I a descendant of the Perini family? Is it important?"
Hearing this, Jacques Huppert’s suspicions disappeared. No matter whether he was a member of the Perini family, at least the other party knew the whereabouts of the two artifacts. This is what he wanted to know most.
So, without any nonsense, he directly took out the two cross swords around his waist, made a knight salute to the challenger, and then used the double-handed cross sword sword technique, he was the most proficient and the most aggressive horns Potential, aimed at the challenger.
The challenger also pulled out the cross sword at the waist, but instead used the cross sword that Jacques Uper expected most.
The two did not shoot indiscriminately like those ordinary swordsmen, but faced each other carefully, looking for flaws in each other's sword.
Although the two sides have not yet started, the officers at the entrance of Daying can feel the tense atmosphere. They did not speak one by one, watching the duel on the lawn quietly.
Just when the two confronted each other for a while, when Jacques Yuppel's body began to face away from the front door of the army camp, the mysterious challenger suddenly shot, the left-handed sword directly picked up, and rushed towards the opponent's throat, The long sword in the right hand is held horizontally, defensively.
Seeing the challenger use the most secure offense and defense, Jacques Yuppel is naturally very happy. This is also the cross sword sword technique he wants to face the most. He also knows the best way to crack.
I saw that Jacques Huppert pressed the two-handed sword down with his hands, the sword body interspersed between the two swords of the other side, and followed the left and right swords to cross the twist, and a resistance from the sword body Out, followed by a light, the opponent's long sword was so twisted by him, thrown into the air.
Jacques Yuppel, who was sure he had won, was not happy, but rather puzzled, because he found it too easy to win.
When he felt that something was wrong, he was ready to take the sword off guard. The challenger who should have no weapon in his hand did not know that there was a pair of extremely long-looking cross swords from there. Before he responded, he swept left and right. The speed is at least ten times faster than that of the previous one. He can only see two blurred sword lights.
The two long swords hacked Jacques Yuppel's chest and waist without hindrance. The moment the long sword touched the opponent's body, the opponent's body suddenly burst into a faint light, forming a shield Protect him.
Seeing his last resort work, Jacques Huppert was relieved a little, but he hadn’t waited until he was fortunate that the way he used to kill those powerful opponents was still useful. The light that protected him dissipated and was just blocked. The double swords crossed across him.
The movements of the two sides were too fast, almost all offensive and defensive were completed in a blink of an eye, plus at night, the flickering of the fire caused some visual obstacles. The officers at the door of the camp did not see the entire process of the two sides. Seeing the challenger's double swords being taken off by Jacques Huppert, he subconsciously believed that Jacques Huppert had won.
Then, in their view, the challenger seemed to know that he had failed, and took a few steps back. After pulling away from Jacques Huper, he turned away without looking back, even the one who was taken off. The two cross swords were not picked.
At this time, the officers at the gate of the barracks were busy distributing money at the gambling game. They did not notice any abnormalities at all. Only three people noticed that the hands held high by Jacques Huppert had not fallen from the beginning, and there was no movement in the body.
Of these three, Jacques Yuppel’s lieutenant was naturally worried and hurried forward to check, while the other two Major General Wood and Major General Roger looked at each other, seeming to be able to understand the meaning in each other’s eyes. A little smile appeared.
"Ah! The captain of the legion was assassinated!" At this moment, a cry broke the silence of the night, and everyone looked at the shouting place. I saw the adjutant standing next to Jacques Huper looked in horror at Jacques Huper who was standing still, but before he could explain the situation, he saw the head of the 1st Army Corps backward. Falling down, the body becomes three knots while falling.
At this moment, the officers realized what was going on, and their head boss was assassinated in front of them, and the killer left in front of them very calmly. I am afraid that no one will believe it.
"Immediately blocked the scene, organized manpower, entered the forest to arrest the murderer, and sent someone to the road ahead to set up a card to intercept..." After Jacques Huper's death, Major General Roger, who was the head of the army, naturally became the leader of the army. He immediately ordered the chaotic officers and quickly stabilized the situation.
At the same time, after assassin Leo entered the forest, he did not take off some cumbersome knight armor, but wore knight armor. The whole person passed through the bushes and leaves like a cheetah, and quickly moved forward. Row.
At the same time, his spiritual net also opened up to check the surrounding situation. Soon several figures lurking in the trees appeared in his spiritual net. Obviously these were armed with mechanical crossbows and fully armed The person should be the backer arranged by Jacques Huppert.
If you don’t have this knight armor, Leo may sneak into the past secretly and solve these people silently, but now the noise made by his knight armor is too loud to be hidden at all. Shape, so he was like a tank, and pushed directly towards those people.
Although Leo's unhidden running method produces a lot of movement, but his speed is enough to make up for the defects caused by the sound.
The lurking people had just heard the sound and knew that their target was coming, but before they could confirm the location of the target in the dark forest, a shadow passed by them.
At the same time, a fist as hard as a hammer, mixed with huge force, hit their heads. Before they realized what was going on, the whole head was like a bursting berry, completely broken. Opening, a headless body fell softly to the ground, adding a few piles of fertilizer to the forest.
After solving a few ants blocking the road, Leo did not encounter any obstacles after his journey. It took about less than five minutes. He crossed the forest and came to the road outside the forest. I recognized the direction and drove towards the carriage where Sylvia prepared him.
The assassination of the Chief of the First Army in Milia City is definitely not a trivial matter. Without the permission of the Executive Council of Milia City, the army of the First Army forces forced into the interior of Milia City to search for the murderer. One move also made the internal situation in the turbulent Melia City after the members of the mainland parliament stabbed become more tense~EbookFREE.me~Some savvy Miria residents have already felt that the situation has begun to become a bit chaotic, and they have Choose to leave Milia City temporarily, live in the surrounding city and county for a period of time, and then return to the city after the situation stabilizes.
But with the exception of those who have conditionally left, the vast majority can only stay in the miraculous days in the city of Milia, fearing that one day their home will be smashed open by a group of soldiers.
Because of the chaotic situation, the embassies of various countries began to consider whether they should temporarily leave the city of Miria. The paralyzed mainland parliament also convened an emergency parliament on the proposal of some members to discuss the current direction of the mainland parliament. The most mentioned of them is to temporarily leave the city of Miriah, and go to the north of the seven Hanuosha alliances to temporarily establish a temporary parliament. After the situation of the French Empire has stabilized, we will decide whether to return to Miriam.
Although the members of the mainland parliament did not know who assassinated the colleagues who died, they were certain that the death of these colleagues was related to the current situation in the French Empire.
In their view, the French Empire must have been crazy this time, not only using the imine gas banned by the ban, but also assassinating the members of the mainland parliament because of the situation in their own country, causing the mainland parliament to shut down.
It’s just that even if they knew that they were all done by the French Empire or the Duke of Derwin, they didn’t have a way to do it. This undoubtedly gave the Continental Parliament who once thought they could control the political situation of all the countries in the Velon world. The legislators hit hard.
However, just as the morale of these mainland parliamentarians was low and embassies in various countries began to consider a retreat, the secret visit of a person gave them an opportunity to check and balance the Duke of Devin and restore the order of the French Empire.
