Chapter 227: The Assassination King
"Raise your shield!"
"Protect His Highness!"
The Prince of Jin fell off his horse in a panic, surrounded by his trusted bodyguards, holding up shields like a giant turtle shell.
Occasionally, a small stone would fall on it, but it would bounce off without hurting the people below.
"Shields! Shields... Oh no, it's impossible for every soldier to have a shield. The archery battalion, spear battalion, and logistics battalion... I'm afraid they've already suffered heavy casualties..."
One of the King of Jin's staff members cried out, "I'm afraid this time we're going to have to..."
He glanced at Prince Jin and didn't dare to say it out loud, but his meaning was already very clear.
This time, I’m afraid we will be defeated without a fight!
King Jin's face was as gloomy as water. " Gentlemen, do you have any plan to break this tactic?"
"It's hard to reach us in the air. After all, we don't have wings and can't fly... All we can do is prepare more shields and passively defend..."
The staff looked at each other with bitterness.
"We must come up with a solution... It doesn't matter if I fail here once, but we can't let those who come after me fail again and again. Isn't it a shield? With the wealth of our Great Zhou..."
As soon as King Jin finished speaking, he heard a loud noise.
A shield guard beside him was smashed into a pool of meat.
The culprit was a stone as big as a human head.
An ordinary bird would definitely not be able to catch such a heavy object in the sky. It must be that he had won the "big prize" and encountered a "bomb" from a goblin or monster!
A little blood splashed on King Jin's face, which immediately made him shudder and shiver: "Quick... escort me away!"
If they didn't leave, whether they were princes or ordinary soldiers, they might be killed by such a stone.
Life has never been so fragile, nor has it ever been so equal.
And if Prince Jin dies, then everything will be nothing!
"Protect the prince and leave here!"
Zhou Zhu and others also had the same idea and wanted to leave the battlefield.
At this moment, huge rocks fell one after another, obviously targeting them.
Such a large stone, falling from such a great height, brought with it an incredible potential energy, and even armor and shields made of fine steel were directly deformed by it.
As for the people inside, their situation was naturally even more horrific.
"This... is clearly a monster targeting us! Oh no... Prince Jin is in danger!"
Zhou Zhu cried out in surprise, and at the same time, he felt the inspiration beads in his arms continuously spewing out inspiration.
If it were any other time, he would have been ecstatic, but at this moment he was just shocked, knowing that this bead was indeed able to transform spiritual energy by absorbing the power of disasters and calamities. Today, he might have to rely on it to escape.
Bang!
Just then, there were several loud noises.
Zhou Zhu's scalp tingled and he quickly rolled out.
Puff!
Amid the loud noise, countless pieces of gravel flew around, some of which fell on his back, causing a burning pain.
When Zhou Zhu looked back, he found several spears falling from the sky, nailing several soldiers to death.
He recognized those guards, they were all top-notch masters in the palace. With their cooperation, they once hunted down Lu Wukun, the "King of Swords" who was known as the best swordsman in the world, without any injury themselves.
But at this moment, facing the iron spears falling from the sky, there was nothing he could do.
The iron shield formation collapsed in an instant, and everyone cried for their parents and fled in a panic.
Except for the King of Jin's diehard followers, the other soldiers fled in all directions.
They knew that if King Jin died, they would all be dead too, but at a time like this, there was no time to think about anything else.
All I want is to escape from this hell!
"Protect the King!"
Zhou Zhu looked up and saw a huge black eagle that seemed to be swooping down, and he couldn't help but shout.
Such a huge eagle must be a monster!
These monsters not only used magic to disrupt the army, they even wanted to assassinate the king and kill the generals!
Chirp~~~
The wind was howling and Yu Kongzi was falling violently.
"Shoot!"
The guards surrounding Prince Jin immediately bent their bows and shot arrows directly at Yu Kongzi.
Yu Kongzi continued to fall and suddenly flapped his wings violently.
Whoosh!
The howling wind blew the arrows into pieces.
It landed on the ground, its claws as sharp as hooks, and directly grabbed and killed one of the aides of King Jin.
"How dare you, I am the king, how dare you, monster, hurt me?"
Prince Jin turned pale and let out a loud shout.
He is indeed the king of the world, even very close to being a prince, and the dragon energy emanating from him is extraordinary.
Taoist priests like Zhou Zhu couldn't even cast magic in front of him.
But for Yu Kongzi, he could ignore the murderous aura of tens of thousands of troops, so what did it matter?
Immediately, it flapped its wings with infinite power and blew away several guards.
"Golden Armor Guardian, go!"
When Zhou Zhu saw this scene, he gritted his teeth, sent a few paper figures flying, and transformed them into divine generals, hoping to stop the monster.
He relied on King Jin for his cultivation. Not to mention the emotional connection between them, the connection between them in Shinto alone was inseparable.
When casting spells at this time, I also felt uncomfortable all over.
If King Jin had not given him 'permission to cast spells' long ago, he would be no different from an ordinary person at this moment.
In addition to Zhou Zhu, a group of "aliens" raised by King Jin also took action. Various Taoist magics emerged and fell on Yu Kongzi.
"Lightning strike!"
"The Yellow Springs!"
"Flying Fire Magic!"
Various lights exploded on Yu Kongzi's black feathers.
The bird monster laughed, shook its feathers, and let out a happy cry.
Yu Kongzi suddenly discovered that after doing today's "big thing", its "demonic power" increased extremely rapidly.
Even the art of 'transformation of flesh and blood' suddenly broke through to a new level. Although it cannot be said to be invulnerable to swords and guns, the defense power has been greatly increased.
Although being shot in the vitals by a powerful crossbow might break its defense, its resistance to spells is very strong.
At this moment, a layer of black light appeared around it, suppressing all the gods of thunder, fire and golden armor. Its huge body pounced forward like a tiger or wolf hunting prey and caught up with King Jin.
"No! I am the future emperor, you can't kill me!"
The King of Jin fell to the ground, rolling and crawling, no longer caring about his face and manners.
"The king of the world, is that so great?"
Yu Kongzi grabbed the King of Jin in his claws and lifted him up high.
It opened its beak, revealing densely packed teeth, and bit off half of King Jin's body in one bite.
Crunch, snap!
The harsh chewing sound echoed across the battlefield, and blood dripped down.
"Pah... what king? It still tastes the same..."
Yu Kongzi said unsatisfactorily.
Almost at the same time as Prince Jin died, several Taoists showed despair on their faces and suddenly spat out blood. Some even had gray hair and passed away directly.
They relied on King Jin to practice, or to support the dragon, and in fact signed a Shinto contract with King Jin.
Now that Prince Jin is dead, there is immediate backlash.
Zhou Zhu also spat out a large mouthful of blood, feeling that his own Taoist power was greatly damaged. Just when he was in despair, he was shocked to find that the spiritual bead in his arms suddenly spit out a large amount of spiritual energy, which actually barely replenished the lost vitality.
Not only that, it seemed as if some shackles had been taken off, and the whole person felt a little more relaxed.
