Shape of the Wind – Volume Meteorite Chapter 6: To threaten the world

lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Fengzi Monogatari!

In the palace, Xiaocao is growing up from one to the other. People often say that when he is dead, he is a hundred, and has no worries. If this is true, he must be the most restless ghost in the world.

Today, the representative of the institute is personally led by the elder Bai Dezhao. After completing the protest letter, in addition to wishing to pay the compensation as soon as possible, he also asked His Royal Highness to personally apologize to the representatives and express regret for his sabotage. "Our requirements are only two, can we say that even this can't be done?"

There are only two requirements, but both of them are difficult for Xiaocao to agree to hastily. The huge amount of 30,000 gold coins, I don’t know how to come out? As for the apology, it’s good to have her husband’s stubborn temper and not beating the representative on the spot. It’s really difficult to ask him to bow his head to apologize. Besides, Nier must be on the same line as her brother, and the momentum has increased. Mention more to your husband.

Fortunately, Nier went out to participate in the academy activities, otherwise she, who was eager to protect her brother, might immediately quarrel with these representatives.

The other party did not answer for a while, and the people of Bai Dezhao also waited calmly, waiting for the confidential secretary on behalf of the Prince to give a definite answer.

It’s strange to say that before coming here, everyone vowed to express the anger and dissatisfaction of the Institute with a strong and iron fist, but when they saw this woman named Cang Yuecao, everyone agreed. There is a sense of awe in the land.

The hair that was hanging down covered the left half of her face, and she wore glasses again, and her face was difficult to distinguish, but when the wonderful eyes under the lenses stared, everyone seemed to be deterred by her and did not dare to make trouble.

"For the issue of compensation, we are already trying our best to give you a satisfactory answer before the agreed period, but as for the second question of apology..."

Xiaocao said slowly, without a conclusion yet, but he heard someone rushing closer with big strides. The heroic footsteps, she recognized her husband's voice as soon as she heard it, and she was shocked, so she was so embarrassed that the picnic was over for the river? If there is a conflict with these protest representatives, it’s not good...

This concern is correct, but the direction of development is beyond Xiaocao's grasp.

As soon as the door opened, Lancelot ran in in stride, originally seeming to be talking to his wife, but seeing a crowd of outsiders present, he turned around and came to Bai Dezhao.

"His Royal Highness, regarding your last sabotage in the Institute, we ask you to..."

Before the words are finished, Lancelow has slapped his hands on the old man's shoulders, and said with a serious face: "Elder, I want to apologize to you for my previous ignorance."

"This is good...Huh?"

"I have misunderstood all of you in the past. Until now, I don't understand how great you are." Lancelow said, shaking hands with all the protest representatives one by one in the shocked eyes of the protest representatives, and said: "For Lei Ince and the future of the whole continent, you all work hard in research, day and night, eating well and sleeping well, and even the relatives at home put aside the hard work..."

These words are extremely sincere. At first, everyone was still suspicious, wondering if he wanted to use gentle means to get over it; but listening to this passage, all the bitterness in the research institute on weekdays surfaced, thinking of the inaction. Outsiders know about the work pressure, and can't help nodding frequently.

"And this hard work, I now fully understand. I sincerely apologize for my previous mistakes. Look, I now bow and apologize to you... I hope you can give me a chance to make up for it."

Compared to the protest representatives, Xiaocao, who is familiar with her husband's character, is only astonished. Being pretentious and pretentious is not in line with Lancelot's personality. Such low-profile speech is not his style. What's more, he speaks sincerely at this time. Obviously every sentence comes from the heart. What is the reason for him to have such a big deal? What about the transformation?

Looking at the representatives of the academy, they nodded in agreement one by one, their attitudes were much softer than before, and they even seemed to have a great affection for Lancelow, who was speaking these thoughtful remarks. Regardless of the motive for saying this, it seems that he has won considerable benefits.

"Such amazing people deserve better treatment! I Lancelow promises that as long as I ascend the throne of God, I will completely improve the welfare of the researcher... No, it will be too slow. ...Well, how much compensation do you ask for? Thirty thousand is it? I will double it now and pay you sixty thousand gold coins, which is not bad!"

When Lancelow said the last few words, Xiaocao had already realized that it was wrong, and wanted to stop it, but was a step too late. He said this impossible promise, and then held Bai Dezhao’s Hand shakes.

"Great Elder, let's work together to create the future of Taikoo Magic Way!"

The indiscriminate dialogue with dog-blooded emotions had extraordinary effects at this time. Those representatives of the academy who had originally come to protest, clapped wildly, and began to dream of a salary increase in their minds.

The atmosphere at the scene is very lively, and there is only a dull grass. I sincerely hope that the Magic Guild will soon develop a two-folding spell that can rain gold coins in the sky.

The impact of this meeting was mixed. At least, the Bai Family Research Institute turned away from the previous hatred attitude, and felt that this barbaric monkey was not incurable, and was an object of communication. If you can really pay 60,000 gold coins to get all the researchers to raise their salaries and improve their welfare, then it will be regarded as an oath of allegiance to him, and there is nothing wrong!

But the really tricky part is how to make money? The clever woman can't afford to cook without rice. Even if the grass is clever and wise, she can't make a large amount of money out of thin air. While trying to raise money, she also ordered the Magic Guild to send more people to research on alchemy.

Abiding by the agreement with Airing, when his wife asked why there was such a change, Lancelot just smiled and said because he was inspired by something.

This change came to the ears of the people in Jixia. Everyone was amazed. They didn't understand why this dead robber suddenly changed his sex? Most people think Lancelow is pretending.

Regardless of the situation inside, I was already very anxious to walk in the daytime when the city was besieged a few miles outside the city. Although Jixia has been surrounded in groups, it has not had much effect. This is because most of the worries about traveling during the day. For fear that the artillery fire would damage the buildings and historic sites in Jixia and cause public criticism, they did not dare to let go of the offensive; for fear of cutting off the supply of water and food in the city, causing public grievances, and provoking charges of "inhumanity", they did not dare to completely block the encirclement net and let Jixia still remain. Can maintain a certain degree of external transportation; more afraid of pressing too tightly, letting the enemy destroy the promise to attack with the power of heaven, and fight a tough battle with unpredictable victory and defeat...

A lot of worries made the army marching in the day surrounded outside Jixia City, but it was difficult to make any actual actions.

In the eyes of Xiaocao, I couldn't help but sigh for this family member of the same clan. The method of siege is to attack the city. The best way is to use external pressure to force a great chaos in the city. Yu Yan is defeated. As the dust says, the daytime should be completely sealed off when the siege is established. Traffic, cut off all food transportation. In order to increase the pressure, it should be attacked day and night with low destructive power but frequent fatigue attacks, so that the city is enveloped in a tight atmosphere.

Even if Jixia's own properties are almost self-sufficient, the common people have not experienced war. Under this major threat, the accumulated grievances and fears will inevitably erupt to Lancelow, drive him out of the grassland, and eliminate the situation. war.

If this situation really occurs, Xiaocao and Gengoro will be extremely tricky. The only strategy that can be adopted is to immediately use the power of the guild to assassinate the daytime, so that the army outside the city will be disintegrated and disperse inside the city. In danger.

Only in the long-term benefit, this method is not a good strategy, unless there is no choice, I really don’t want to take this step.

However, it was a step too late to adopt such an attack strategy during the day. During this period of time, Gengoro and Nier had successfully managed to win over many nobles, mainly Jixia Bachelors. When they were attacked at this time, they could easily use information manipulation to divert the people's anger to the daytime outside the city.

Furthermore, the army has been out of the city for many days, and the spirit has been lost. The people in the city are also psychologically prepared. Even if they launch an attack, they will not receive the expected results...

Xiaocao saw the situation extremely accurately, and this knowledge was finally realized during the day trip. Perceiving that the city has been besieged for many days, nothing has been achieved, instead he has fallen into a dilemma that he cannot advance or retreat. Tian Xing finally made up his mind, freed himself from many scruples, and took a formal attack.

The first is to completely seal off the external traffic under the ground, and no foreign aid materials are allowed to enter. Relying on the large number of troops,

This step of blocking is not difficult, but when I want to go further during the day, even Jixia's external communication is cut off, and I immediately ran into a technical problem.

Reins is the kingdom of magic. After Queen Liya passed away, the Magic Guild changed hands. Some of the Magic Guilds broke away from the guild organization, but they did not join the day. Therefore, knowing that the city uses the secret channel of the Magic Guild to maintain unblocked information with the outside of the city, it cannot be blocked during the day.

In addition, the intelligence channels of the Brothel Alliance are all-pervasive. Even if the army seals off the city, the messenger responsible for communicating to Nier will still appear regularly every two days to inform the outside world of the latest news and also report back the situation in the city. Shangri-La headquarters.

In addition to the blockade, Daytime also launched a frontal hard attack, setting the target on the city wall first, hoping to cause a certain degree of damage.

The attacker was the positron cannon that defeated Lancelow’s cavalry that day. It was shot from a series of blue and white beams of light from a distance of several miles. Just seeing it made the eyes burn. The power is extraordinary.

It's just that, already knowing that the enemy has such a weapon, how could Xiaocao not be prepared?

Detecting the intention to attack during the day, Xiaocao immediately ordered the magical forces participating in the city defense to activate Jixia's own defensive enchantment, and at the same time asked the Baijia Research Institute to cooperate and provide countermeasure equipment.

As a result, the blue and white beam of light that came was first weakened by three points by the defensive enchantment, and then hit the specially treated wall, refracting 50%, and the last few percent of the power was absorbed by the wall itself. diffusion. Although the part of the city wall hit by the beam of light turned dazzling red when it was hit, it spread out on the city wall and was evenly absorbed by the entire city wall. Even if there were a few more powerful shots, it was only on the city wall. k left a faint circle of black shadows.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Cao sighed in his heart. In the past two thousand years, Reins’ efforts and research have not been in vain. Even if the war between humans and demons breaks out again, with the power of the Yang electronic cannon, coupled with the mass-produced chaotic fire crossbow, it can certainly pose a threat to the demon army. ; And such a defensive wall that combines magic and the ancient magic way is also a technology that was not available at the time of the Kyushu War. If such a perfect defense could be made at that time, how could it be defeated?

In this situation, the attacking side is stunned, and the defenders are cheering and thundering, rejoicing that they can restrain the enemy's weapons.

Grasping this gap, the defending army launched a counterattack, using the trebuchet to throw a few big rocks out. The target was the positron cannon that had to stop replenishing energy after the rapid fire.

Seeing it as a major bargaining chip in hand, there is no room for loss during the day. I wanted to order defense, but then I realized that I was too worried. The range of the trebuchet was impossible to span several miles. Hit the fort. Looking at the heavy rock that had fallen far away, a series of laughs burst out on the side during the day.

"Hey! One side is using the Primordial Magic Way weapon, the other side is still using the trebuchet, such a ridiculous battle, have you seen it before?"

Also watching the battle at the head of the city, Lancelow sighed to his wife beside him because of his predicament.

It’s just that the world is unpredictable. Sometimes the technological weapons at the end of the game will still be defeated by the original brute force...

The party who was walking during the day was laughing from the roar of the hall. There was a sudden strong wind, and two catapults fell from the sky. With the force of the huge mountain pressing on the top, the stone and the cart were in the middle of the fort. In the loud noise, the positron cannon has become a pile of useless smoking scrap iron. The explosion when it was broken also caused dozens of deaths and injuries in the surrounding area.

At the head of Jixia city, everyone was still stunned at what Shicai had seen. Finding that the catapult could not be effective, Nier didn't say a word. She walked to the two filled catapults, held them with both arms, and with a strong shot, she lifted the catapult straight over the top and raised it high. Then, amidst a crowd of exclamations, he threw the behemoth out, drew an arc in the air, and hit the target accurately.

"Really...deserves to be a humanoid tyrannosaurus!"

"Will it be more appropriate to call it a humanoid catapult?"

The shock was extraordinary, and the defenders talked a lot, but almost all cries of joy. Having created this feat, Nier stepped on the top of the city, pierced her waist, tied her long hair into a ponytail, fluttered behind her head, and said loudly, "As long as I'm here, no one will want to touch my brother. City!"

A proud and handsome appearance, in exchange for a strong applause from the rear. The bravery and beauty that Nier showed was once again deeply imprinted in the hearts of the citizens of Jixia City, and even increased their morale frantically.

This is exactly what Xiaocao wants. Even if it is irrational, it doesn’t matter. When building an army, you need a mental indicator like Xu Liewu. As long as this indicator is present, the soldiers will have undefeated fighting spirit and confidence. Therefore, exaggerated performances are sometimes necessary.

The victory of defending the city is relatively a major blow on the side of the day. Powerful weapons can be recreated, but seeing that the enemy's unreasonable power has shocked the soldiers, it is not easily eradicated; some people can't help but tremble at the thought of being hostile to such monsters in the future.

During the day, I was worried. According to the information from the spies, the robber’s sister had a terrifying power even if she did not use the power of heaven. So even if she did such a ridiculous attack, it would not be considered a violation of Lan. Three constraints of Slow becoming king.

To regain the confidence of the soldiers, only to prove to them that oneself has the same powerful strength. Mindful of this, during the day, he moved his gaze to the back and glanced at the man sitting on the recliner and playing with the gold coins in his hand. The original agreement with him was to hire him as a guard who was responsible for killing off all invading heavenly assassins, but the assassin has always been in the future, and he will never achieve such a high salary all day long?

Hunt laughed blankly when he felt the sight. The embarrassment during the day is completely understandable to him, but it is his general principle not to do anything other than salary. Since the task is only to guard, if the assassin does not come, he is happy.

However, the reason why I came to Reins has another purpose...

"Hey! Your Employer." Hante got up, patted his shoulder during the day, and smiled: "Even if it's a big auction! I'll do an extra service for you at no extra charge..."

Although the defending city won the first battle, it is an indisputable fact that the city was besieged. When the city is temporarily unable to counterattack, can such a blockade be lifted without knowing the river?

It’s okay in terms of materials, because during the Kyushu War, the demons had besieged Jixia for hundreds of years, so the buildings and facilities in the city have been prepared for this and can independently produce most of the There is no shortage of resources for a while. The more troublesome thing is people's hearts. In order to prove that even under the siege, a large amount of supplies can still be transported, Nier volunteered to carry out another transportation work.

Preparation is ahead this time. All purchases are entrusted to the Brothel Alliance. Although the Brothel Alliance is so powerful that it is inconvenient to deliver to the home, it also loads the goods by ships and transports them to the offshore port of Reins at Nier’s speed. , It takes only two days to go back and forth, which is much faster.

Since the start of the siege, Lancelow has consciously been useless, reading, practicing martial arts all day, and then meeting with Xiao Ailing.

Because of the intense warfare, it was no longer convenient to meet outside the city, so the two changed their meeting place to a teahouse inside the city.

Lancelow brought a good lunch and listened to the girl talk about something in the academy, and at the same time asked her some military weapons of the ancient magic way, let Ai Ling draw a diagram to understand the principle of harming the enemy. , And the law of defense. Lack of basic knowledge, most of Lancelot doesn't understand very well, but after listening and learning like this, he really intends to surprise everyone by surprise in the future.

In the conversation with Airing, Lancelow felt that her work in the academy was very heavy, and she was not very happy in doing it. Besides, she often had to send money to her who didn’t know if she lived. The little brother in which hospital. Stimulated by these conversations, after Lancelow returned, he seriously discussed with Xiaocao how to improve the current Reins medical system and reduce the cost and burden of patients. Although Xiaocao was surprised, but according to her husband's wishes, he drafted some drafts for him to review, and at the same time issued a statement before others.

For these actions, You Xue screamed, "The boss is fascinated by ghosts." Lancelow himself smiled. He had an idea that he kept meeting with Xiao Ailing like this, without telling her who she was. If one day her impression of Prince Lancelow changed and she had a good comment, that At that time, the people of Jixia might be able to change their attitudes like her... and they would be considered a real success.

However, this idea is undoubtedly too naive, because it is unfounded, and without enough money and ability to implement the plan, no matter how perfect the project is, it is impossible to win the trust of others. The Lancelot who gave the speech immediately drew the crowd to applause, and many people questioned in public that if he wanted to show his ability, it would be better to retreat the rebels outside the city than to use it.

Of course, the various media in Jixia City will not let this opportunity pass. Even a tabloid newspaper, regardless of racial discrimination, interviewed Yuxue, who was drunk after the banquet, and asked him his opinion on the matter.

"Then what can I say, my boss will never do charity that is useless..."

This sentence immediately appeared on the front page of the newspaper the next day. "The newspaper even questioned whether this bandit head, who uses brutal force as his only strength, has lost his arrogant ambition and has fallen to such a method to win sympathy? The result was a big blow to Lancelot, and he could only smoke a cigar secretly in the corner of the ivory white tower and mutter to himself.

"Why... why no one wants to believe me?"

No one else can answer this question naturally.

Two days passed in a flash, and foreseeing the time of Nier’s return, a large number of supporters waited on the top of the city, ready to applaud the return of the goddess of victory. In Lancelow’s eyes, this kind of worship is really sick. However, it is his sister who is popular, and it is hard to say anything.

After a short while, the expected earth shaking came out on time, and a small black spot quickly approached from the southeast, kicking up the sky with smoke and dust. The momentum was as terrifying as the previous time. How dare the siege army in the southeast dare to stop it? One after another gave up a gap to let the intruders pass.

Dang Nier's figure became clear, and there was even a loud applause on the top of the city. Everything seemed to be going so smoothly, no one expected that, just as Nier broke through the area of ​​the siege army and within a distance of the city wall of Jixia, there was suddenly a cold and electric sword light, which sprang up from the camp during the day. Shoot directly at Nier in Mercedes-Benz.

"It's you!"

"Ha! It is me, stinky girl, who finally had the opportunity to avenge the last time..."

Things happened too fast, the shocked people on the city only saw a bright electric light, like a yellow dragon, falling straight down, following a series of thunderbolts, Nier was carrying overweight supplies all the way. It was twisted into pieces by Jian Jin, flying wildly like snow flakes, obscuring everyone's sight.

Unable to react for a while, Nier was completely at a disadvantage, only to retreat steadily. I also thought at the beginning, if this guy healed his wounds and regained his power, would he come to find his own revenge? I didn't expect this premonition to come true, and it was still at such a bad time.

"Don't even think about running, if you don't cut seventeen or eight swords on you today, we can't finish our account..."

Han Te yelled and waved his sword, recalling that when he fled with Nier that day, this heartless woman threw herself at Amakusa as a hidden weapon. Faced with dangers she had never had in her life, she was furious when she thought of it. After the lungs, new grudges and old grudges are added, and the battle is ended at the same time.

"At the beginning, you threw me as a hidden weapon. It was great, right? Now I want you to know the victim's anger..."

"It's just to take revenge at this time. You man is too unmeasured!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I took the money from the boss of Tianxing, and now he is his gold medalist. In addition to guarding against assassins, he is also responsible for destroying you chaos by the way."

"It's just money! We can afford it too. If we can pay you twice the reward, can you switch over and help us get rid of the day trip?"

"Have money? Let's do it slowly."

Han Te took the sword back and asked in a solid voice, "Really? Two hundred gold coins a day, pay on the same day, but not cash receipts?" Two hundred gold coins a day, Nier Suddenly, two gold coins are enough for an ordinary family of four to eat for a month. Financial constraints are the biggest embarrassment for Lancelow. How can it be so generous and pay? And this situation was self-evident in Hante's eyes.

"If you can’t pay, it’s a fraud. Do you know what happened to the last person who owed me money? Eat me with thunder!"
