Chereads / I am the Archmage / Chapter 76 - Sacrifice and glory

Chapter 76 - Sacrifice and glory

Prince Guangtao seemed to be determined to annihilate Long Da and others in one fell swoop. He sent more than 10,000 troops to search the royal capital, and they were all elite warriors of the "Lion Army". They were personally commanded by the commander of the army, Marshal Ikara. Searching.

 Compared with Gerry, a brave and foolhardy man, Ikara can be regarded as an extremely scheming person. He is the oldest of the four army commanders. He has been in the army for more than 40 years and has experienced hundreds of battles and has rich experience. He is known as "Reinhardt's old fox".

 Ikara's ambition was greater than that of Gerry, who wanted to be Reinhard's military commander. His goal was to be the prime minister with one person under one person and over ten thousand people, so he participated in Prince Guangtao's rebellion and wanted to destroy the dragon. 

 Ikara was a thoughtful person, and he secretly paid attention to every move of Vals, so he guessed about where Vals might be hiding, and directed the search troops to get closer and closer to the hiding place.

 Vals, who was lurking in a pile of rocks, smiled bitterly when he saw this and said, "Is it Ikara? I'm in trouble this time. I'm afraid I can't hide this hiding place from this old fox."

 He said to a soldier beside him: "Quickly go and rule the prime minister and the archmage, and ask them to be prepared to fight and move."

The soldiers took the order and left. Vals and a dozen of his soldiers quietly moved to the side of the rebel soldiers who were all over the mountains and plains. He drew a giant bow and aimed the arrow at Ikara, who was riding forward.

 There was a long distance between Ikara and Vals. Vals knew that this arrow would probably have no results, but his purpose was to attract the opponent's attention, and he had no delusion that he would kill Ikara with one arrow.

 With a sharp "chi" sound, the arrow shot through the air like a bolt of lightning and shot straight towards Ikara. Ikara was indeed a veteran who had experienced many battles. He raised his left arm and easily blocked the arrow with his shield.

 This arrow exposed the hiding place of Vals and others, and the rebel soldiers immediately shouted and rushed towards them.

 Vals and his men fled loomingly under the cover of the terrain. Such complex terrain on hillsides and valleys was simply not suitable for large groups of people to advance. Therefore, Ikara commanded the troops to chase for a long time but still could not get close to the agile Vals soldiers. 

 Longda and others in the temporary camp received the notice and quickly made emergency preparations. There were only more than 200 of them, so they would not be stupid enough to throw eggs at stones. Under the leadership of Longda, they quickly moved, and the two girls Yaye and Livia Then he volunteered to meet Vals.

Using the terrain to "hide and seek" with the enemy army, Vals' situation became a bit unfavorable. After all, his opponent was an army of ten thousand people. 

 The soldiers' eyes were all focused on Vals. He smiled brightly and said: "Brothers, their target is me. When I fight with them in a while, you will find a hidden place to hide first. "

 The soldiers became noisy and expressed their desire to live and die with their beloved Marshal Vals. One soldier said excitedly: "Marshal, we are all old brothers who have followed you for many years. It is our honor to die for our country with you, Marshal, please don't say any more."

 Vals sighed and patted his shoulder without saying anything.

 Enemies from all over the mountains and plains rushed up and surrounded Vals and others. Ikara, who was riding a high horse, said proudly: "Vals, you are desperate now. For the sake of my colleagues for so many years, I only want you.If you surrender, I can also help you plead with Prince Guangtao to spare your life."

 Vals spat on the ground and said disdainfully: "I have always respected you, Ikara, and I never thought that even you... I, Vals, would never collude with you."

He held his sword across his chest and shouted loudly: "If you have the guts, come."

 The reputation of Vals, Reinhardt's number one swordsman, has already penetrated into the hearts of every Reinhardt soldier. At this time, his heroic and fearless demeanor suddenly made the surrounding soldiers step back a few steps. step.

 Ikara yelled: "What are you afraid of? No matter how strong he is, he is just a person. "

 The soldiers were encouraged and rushed forward with courage and shouts.

 The long sword in Vals' hand created countless sword shadows and devoured several lives in an instant. His subordinates rushed forward without fear. 

 When Livia and Yaye arrived, Vals' whole body was covered in scars, and all his men had already died heroically.

 Livia whispered to Yaye: "What should we do? Marshal Vals is a good friend who came here. We must rescue him, but..."

 More than a hundred corpses were lying around Vals, but he could no longer support himself. The armor on his body was stained red with his own blood and the blood of his enemies.

 Ya Ye thought for a while and said, "Let's do this. I will cover them all with the 'curtain of darkness' first, then rush in to save people in the chaos, and use my power to open the 'curtain of darkness' that can cover all ten thousand soldiers.I'm afraid the curtain won't last long, so you need to make a quick decision."

 Livia nodded and pulled out the ice crystal sword, while Yaye gathered all the dark power and shouted: "'Curtain of Darkness'."

 A huge dark barrier suddenly spread and covered the entire valley in an instant. The barrier was so dark that one could not see his fingers. At the same time, the holy light blessing magic that the army magician blessed on the soldiers' armor was full of dark power. The light curtain barrier has also lost its effectiveness.

 Livia's delicate body flashed into the "veil of darkness". Although she could not see clearly in the barrier, the "dream eyes" in the dark magic allowed her to dexterously avoid the dense The soldiers rushed straight towards Vals.

The emergence of the "Curtain of Darkness" caused Ikara and the rebels to immediately become confused. In the panic, many people were killed or injured at the hands of their own people.

 For Vals, the dark enchantment did not bring him much trouble. There were enemies all around anyway. He closed his eyes and listened to the sounds with his ears while feeling the changes in the airflow. There was already a long sword with gaps in his hand. Countless screams were caused by the swaying around.

 A slight change in the air flow that he could hardly detect suddenly came from behind him. Vals was shocked to know that a powerful enemy he had never seen before was coming. He turned around and thrust out with his sword with all his strength.

 This sword is the masterpiece of his life. It gathers all his current strength. Once the sword is released, there is no enemy ."

 The person coming behind him let out a startled "Huh", and then Vals felt a light touch in his hand, and only the hilt of the long sword was left.

 A voice as clear and sweet as crushed ice came from the darkness: "Marshal Vals, please don't get me wrong, I am Livia."

Vals said with surprise and joy: "Is it Miss Livia, the 'Illusion Swordsman'? Why are you..."

 Livia's gentle and delicate hands grasped Vals' arm and said, "We'll talk about it later if we have any questions. Marshal, please go out with me first."

 Vals only felt that his scarred arm was gently held by a soft and soft object, and at the same time, an elegant and pleasant fragrance passed directly into his nose. His heart suddenly swayed, and he couldn't help but follow Li Wei. Ya moved quickly.

 Out of the instinctive fear of unknown dangers and boundless darkness, the rebel soldiers fell into frenzy, waving their swords wildly and slashing in all directions, and the cavalry horses also ran wildly. I don't know how many infantrymen died in the hands of their own people and under the hooves of their horses.

 The "curtain of darkness" gradually became thinner, and a few rays of sunlight penetrated the light curtain. Livia knew that Ya Ye's magic power was almost exhausted and could not be sustained for much longer, so she hurriedly speeded up.

As the light within the barrier intensified, Livia's graceful body contours gradually became clearer in Vals's eyes. His heart couldn't help but beat faster, and the severe pain from the wounds on his body seemed to disappear. He seemed to have no feeling at all, and could only stare dreamily at the peerless beauty who was pulling him forward.

 Vals is now in his mid-twenties. He is rigorous by nature and loves martial arts. However, it is inevitable to be fond of beautiful women in his spare time. He originally had some fantasies about GeNi, but they have known each other since childhood. The weight of friendship is far greater than the love between a man and a woman. In addition, GeNi has always treated him like an elder brother, so he has faded away the little bit of beautiful fantasy.

 At this time, under such circumstances, he was "beautifully rescued the hero" by a peerless beauty like Livia, and while he was grateful, his fondness for fantasy unexpectedly emerged again ., but this beauty is already a famous woman and has a master, and that "master" is still omnipotent. The "Demon King", so his heart was filled with pain and helplessness, but he couldn't bear to give up that beautiful fantasy. He subconsciously tightened the hand holding Livia's delicate hand.

 Livia ran with Vals wholeheartedly, and she didn't realize for a moment that Vals no longer needed her to guide him because of the strong light, but Vals's sudden clenched hand alarmed her.

Livia instinctively retracted her slender hand and turned around, only to see Vals staring straight at her with a glint in his eyes.

 Livia's heart was shaken, and she immediately felt disgusted with Vals. She had already devoted all her body and mind to her lover Clark, without any reservation. For him, she could go to the devil world to receive Lucifer's hell-style training. For him, she willingly stayed by his side with many beauties. Even the rescue of Vals this time was because Vals was his friend, but Vals actually looked at her with this look. Who did he think she was? He is not worthy of being his lover's friend at all.

 The disgust that suddenly flashed in Livia's beautiful eyes made Vals regain consciousness, and he suddenly saw a beam of green light flying toward Livia's back.

 Vals recognized it at a glance as Ikara's special skill "Flying Lightning Spear", and his expression changed drastically in an instant.

 Ikara is worthy of being a veteran of the generation who has experienced hundreds of battles. He can still remain calm and clear-headed under the "veil of darkness", and carefully explore what is happening around him.

 When the light shone into the barrier, his sharp eyes quickly discovered Livia and Vals with the help of the weak light. He raised the spear in his hand and used his unique skill "Flying Lightning Shooting Sky Grab" to throw towards them. 

This "Flying Lightning Shooting to the Sky" is a knight skill created by Ikara. He himself is a master of lightning magic, magic and martial arts. "Flying Lightning to Shoot the Sky" contains powerful lightning energy and profound truth. The strength of his energy and the momentum of the flying throw can be said to be invincible. He used this unique skill to kill countless enemy generals on their horses.

 Livia also sensed the threat from behind, but it was too late to block or dodge. At this moment, Vals suddenly ducked behind her, and the spear containing thunder and energy pierced Vals's chest. The electrical energy turned the meridians around his body into coke in an instant, and the spear passed through his body without exhaustion and still shot towards Livia.

 Because of Vals' desperate resistance, the speed of the spear dropped sharply. Livia striking the tip of the spear with her sword.

 The Ice Crystal Sword, worthy of being the legendary weapon of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, actually blocked the power of thunder and lightning in the spear on its own. The remaining energy collided with Livia's true energy, causing her to take a step back, and the spear was also bounced away. .

 Livia felt that her wrist was so numb that she was almost unable to hold the ice crystal sword. She couldn't help but scream in her heart. She raised her head and was surprised to see Vals standing behind her. The big blood hole on her chest was splattered with blood, and the skin all over her body was covered with blood. The armor was also charred black.

 "marshal"

Livia screamed and quickly helped Vals, but she saw a smile appear on his charred face, and in an instant he lost all breath.

 A famous general and a peerless swordsman passed away.

 Livia was extremely moved by Vals's heroic sacrifice. She closed Vals's eyes and said, "Marshal Vals, I, Livia, have remembered your life-saving grace, and I will avenge you."

 The "curtain of darkness" set by Ya Ye had completely disappeared, and the rebel soldiers who had regained their senses immediately rushed towards Livia.

 Livia raised her hand and threw more than a dozen flame balls in one breath, but they were not ordinary flame balls but black fireballs made entirely of "hell fire". The power was extremely terrifying. They exploded in a large area and the flames spread all over the place. When it reaches the human body, it burns bones and marrow, and it will never be extinguished unless it is burned to ashes.

Livia was about to launch a further attack after the round of "Hell Fire" ended. She was suddenly horrified to find that she couldn't move even half a minute. The space around her, including Vals' body, was completely frozen. Clark's special skill is "space blockade".

 A wide blade of light slashed straight down from the air like a giant sword from the sky. Flesh and blood flew everywhere among the soldiers, and a long and wide deep trench was carved out of the solid ground.

 I appeared in mid-air with Ge Ni in my arms, my eyes as cold as ice, and I said coldly: "How dare you trash to hurt my baby, go to hell."

 The wind and clouds in the sky changed color and dark clouds filled the sky. Lightning flashed and thunder roared. Huge thunder elements gathered towards me like rivers. The surroundings of Ge Ni and me were suddenly filled with flying lightning silver snakes, powerful and beautiful.

 The soldiers on the ground couldn't help but feel terrified when they saw this scene. They felt as if they had seen a ghost. Ikara grabbed a spear from the hands of a knight beside him. The lightning flashed on the spear. He yelled and threw it towards me in the air. , like lightning piercing the sky, extremely powerful.

 "Flying Sky Shooting Gun"

Ikara used all his strength in this shot, but when I used this move, it was sent to the muzzle of the gun. The thunder element condensed around my body was unprecedentedly huge, and the flying knight gun was hit by The little bit of thunder and lightning power it contained was nothing compared to it. It was assimilated before it even got close, and the spear that had only the remaining strength was easily blocked by Ge Ni's "spiritual shield".

 The lightning in the sky became stronger and stronger, cracking the sky and flashing. With a wave of my left hand, nine-day thunder struck straight down from the sky, and the ultimate thunder attack magic "Thunder" began a large-scale bombardment in the form of a wide range of dispersion.

 This is the "thunder" that once destroyed most of the city of Ershank. I have the reputation of "the God of Destruction of Ershank". The rebel soldiers on the ground were helpless and were blasted into pieces by the nine-day thunder. The whole hillside became charred and turned into a hell on earth (the armor of the heavy cavalry is an excellent conductor of electricity. Even if it is not directly hit by lightning, it will attract nearby lightning to bombard itself). The only one who was safe was the one who was killed by my "space blockade" "Livia was protected.

 Looking at the enemies wailing and running away on the ground, I felt an inexplicable excitement in my heart (I am not a murderer, but watching the enemies suffer heavy casualties under my magic attack always makes me a little excited and proud) ), this scene is very similar to how Bing Qingying defeated Reinhardt's army with 'Dark Blizzard' a few days ago.

Thinking of the "dark blizzard", an idea that I had been thinking about for a long time suddenly came up in my mind, so I said to Ge Ni in my arms: "Ni, give me your sword."

 Although Ge Ni didn't understand what I wanted to do, she still handed the sword into my hand obediently. I kissed her lightly on the forehead and then blessed her with the "Wings of Wind" magic. I let go and sang. Ni floated in the air on her own.

 At this time, the lightning bombardment of the forbidden curse "Thunder" was coming to an end, and the energy in the dark clouds in the sky was almost exhausted. I suddenly held the sword with both hands and made an upward gesture and raised the long sword to the sky. The remaining thunder and lightning power Under my tug, a bolt of lightning suddenly emerged from the dark clouds and struck the long sword I held high. The silver lightning danced wildly on the blade of the long sword and my body, with overwhelming power.

 I shouted and the twelve wings of gods and demons behind me suddenly spread out, and then golden flames began to appear around my body and condensed on the long sword that flashed with electric light.

 Since Bing Qingying can combine the two magics of darkness and water to create an amazingly powerful "dark blizzard", why can't I?

 I have figured out some clues about this issue, but I just don't have the time or opportunity. Now is a good time.

In my imagination, I originally planned to concentrate the power of the huge thunder and fire elements on the long sword at the same time, but when I took over GeNi's sword, I realized that although her sword was a treasure of hundreds of refined steel, it would never be able to Withstanding too much thunder and fire elemental power (I was so used to having 'Yaye' in my hand), I had no choice but to give up my original plan and only absorb the remaining power after the release of "Thunder" into the sword, and then started to attack the sword again. Condensing the fire element, the power of flames quickly flowed onto the sword. Under my careful control, it merged with the power of thunder and lightning. The sword instantly flashed with lightning and blazing flames.

 The endurance of the long sword soon reached its limit, but the energy gathered on it was not even one-tenth of what I imagined, but that's all it can do for now.

 In the thunder and fire flash, I roared and swung my sword to slash into the air at the rebel soldiers who had escaped from the "thunder".

 "Fire Thunder God·Extermination Slash"

 A huge red and white blade of light cut through the sky with a deafening howling sound and struck the ground. Amidst the thundering roar, a huge fault crack that was hundreds of meters long appeared on the hillside. , the entire hillside was cut in half by my void sword.

Great, it worked.

 The long sword in my hand turned into tiny fragments and disappeared silently. I said to Ge Ni: "I will definitely give you a good sword in the future."

 Ge Ni jumped straight into my arms and said with lingering fear: "It's so powerful.Clark these two magic attacks of yours are really powerful, but you can't refuse to pay for my sword."

 I saw several rebel soldiers who had narrowly escaped death and fled down the hillside in great embarrassment, abandoning their helmets and armor. Without pursuing them, I hugged Ge Ni and landed in front of Livia.

 Later I learned that the enemy marshal Ikara escaped disguised as a soldier, but he could not escape for a while, and eventually died in the hands of Livia.

 This is something for later, let's not mention it for now.

 Livia, who had lifted the "space blockade" and regained her freedom, snuggled into my arms and said, "Clark, Marshal Vals, in order to save me...he..."

 I gently pushed the two girls away from my arms, walked to Vals' body, picked him up, and sighed: "Marshal Vals has left his soul, and even using the 'Glory of Life' has no effect. "

The corpse in his arms suddenly ignited with blazing flames, and burned up in a moment and turned into a small white bead.

 Seeing the two women looking at me with questioning eyes, I said: "This is the bead I condensed from Vals' ashes. Give it to Uncle Longda later. Alas, a famous general and top swordsman of a generation have left just like that. , What a pity, I will always remember his arrogant and majestic appearance when he competed with me in the marshal's palace in Fatah City, and I will never forget it..."

 Ya Ye came towards me from the other side of the hillside. When I saw her weak steps, I felt a pain in my heart. I rushed to her and hugged her tightly, looking at her pale pink face. I said distressedly: "Yaye, please don't do this again. Don't scare me again."

 It was the dark power she exuded when she used the "Curtain of Darkness" that made me rush over at full speed, otherwise I would still be exchanging tenderness with each other on the road.

 As soon as I saw Ya Ye's expression, I understood that this was due to the excessive loss of magic power, and I felt extremely sorry for him.

 Yaye snuggled into my arms meekly and nodded pleasantly.

Unlike infuriating energy, magic power cannot be restored with the help of others. I simply hugged Yaye and said to Livia, "Let's go find Uncle Longda. Do you know where they are now?"

 Livia said: "Uncle told us that after receiving Marshal Vals, we would meet at a place called the Nine Valleys outside the city."

 Ge Ni said: "I know where the 'Nine Layers Valley' is, let's go quickly."

 With a flash of figures, we left this completely deformed hillside.
