Chapter 281 Dragon Roar in the Sky
The big guys appeared one after another, and the spectators were so shocked that they were speechless.
I originally thought it was an emergency.
Smart people would probably guess that the conflict was deliberately caused by the top brass of the Rosas family who wanted to take over the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce.
But I didn't expect that there would be a reversal.
First, a mysterious "Black Dragon City" lord suddenly appeared out of nowhere and caused a big commotion.
This was originally fine...
No matter how powerful he is, he is just a third-level transcendent.
No one expected that even the President of Canossa, who was thought to be just an ordinary businessman, was actually a legendary extraordinary person!
When everyone started to think that things were not going well, the "Martial Arts Grandmaster" Rocky Refar appeared...
Then, the veteran and powerful [White Wolf] Bazel from the "Ten Legends" appeared...
And then, it’s now.
A large group of the world's top extraordinary people appeared...
…
Kipling Winster, the current King of the "Glorious Kingdom", is also the most powerful person in the world.
As soon as he showed up, the whole thing changed.
"Your Majesty!"
"His Majesty the King is here too..."
"This...what is going on?"
“…”
Not only the wealthy nobles in the banquet hall, but even the knights of the Rosas family were confused.
They never expected that so many big shots would appear before their eyes.
Upon further inspection, it turned out that the red-robed wizards around Kipling were all reclusive fifth-level great magicians from the "Five Great Families"!
There are two more exaggerated faces, one of the "Ten Legends" [Black Witch] Dia Vanilla, [Frost Moon Swordsman] Carlo Gracie...
Not only these top powerhouses, but also thousands of high-level extraordinary beings suddenly poured out of the closed rooms in the Duke's Mansion.
The third-level magician in a white robe, the fourth-level magician in a light red robe, the fifth-level magician in a dark red robe...
These high-level magicians, who are rarely seen in normal times, appeared here in groups and surrounded the entire banquet hall.
There were also many familiar faces among the crowd outside.
[Blood Butcher] Beor, [Stone Giant] Kade, [Ranger] Elton, [Gunspowder Master] Gary...these are high-level extraordinary people from various professions who have been famous for a long time.
Seeing these famous and powerful people from Guanghui City appear, everyone realized that things were getting serious.
Their mentality changed from the initial joy of watching the fun, to worry, and now... to despair.
When top-level combat forces appear in large numbers, it means...
They will become cannon fodder.
…
Wumu had been killed, and Ryan was safe and sound. There was no point in Canossa and Grandmaster Loki fighting any further. The two separated as soon as they touched each other, and neither of them suffered much damage.
Canossa also walked to Ryan's side, and Bazel stood on his left and right, protecting him behind them.
We must not be careless at this time.
It doesn't matter that she and Basel are both at the legendary level. Even if they are besieged, it won't be a big problem for a while.
But Lord Ryan, the city lord, cannot afford to make any mistakes.
After a quick glance, I saw that everyone who was supposed to come had arrived.
There are three divine power totems. Now one [Totem of Strength] has been recovered, and the remaining two, one of wood and one of fire, are all in front of us.
It was an expected meeting. The identities of the hunter and the prey depended on who had the better skills in the end.
However, the two sides had no intention of fighting as soon as they met, and they confronted each other in the banquet hall.
Canossa also became interested and thought he could have a chat.
She glanced at the group of enemies who were staring at her with eager eyes, without fear or anxiety, and with a hint of mockery in her expression, she said, "Your Majesty Kipling, is this how you, the Glorious Nation, treat merchants who come to your country for normal business activities? Tsk tsk, it was fine that you destroyed my Redwood Chamber of Commerce for no reason before, but now you are making such a big fuss, are you planning to take me down as well?"
This question is also the biggest doubt of the spectators in the banquet hall.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was the Rosas family who had caused the trouble.
But now there’s such a big fuss, and even the king has come, is it really just to swallow up the “Black Gold Chamber of Commerce”?
Kipling glanced around the banquet hall, as if he was also waiting for something.
Hearing this, he responded calmly: "No, President Canossa, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding. Our Glorious Kingdom welcomes any chamber of commerce to conduct commercial activities under the premise of abiding by the laws of the kingdom. Naturally, we also welcome your 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce'..."
Commerce is one of the important foundations for the prosperity of a territory.
Even though they originally wanted to swallow up the "Black Gold Chamber of Commerce", they couldn't say it openly .
After a pause, he cleverly changed the subject: "Among the items we are auctioning this time, there are several important barbarian figures. We were originally worried that some barbarians who escaped the net would come to cause trouble, so we prepared some measures just in case. Of course, they are not aimed at you."
This is true and very wise.
Directly transfer some of their shameful purposes to camp hatred.
After all, the Colemans were not very friendly to the wasteland hunters from Glory City... During the resource plundering war, they did kill quite a few wasteland hunters.
Therefore, the Colemans are still regarded as "barbarians" with the same status as Warcraft.
As long as Canossa admitted that she was in league with the barbarians, she would be immediately thrown into the enemy camp.
In that case, no matter what the Glorious Kingdom does, it will be for the "great cause of humanity."
"Oh? I see..."
Canossa naturally understood what the old man was planning, and a hint of sarcasm flashed across his expression.
She didn't fall for it, and instead chuckled, "Since it's not targeting us, can we leave now?"
Walk?
It is naturally impossible to let it go.
However, Kipling's eyes flashed coldly.
He was also very confused at this moment. Why were these three guys so calm when they were about to die?
The Mechanical City is now surrounded by dozens of times more combat power. Even if there are two legendary fighters, it is absolutely impossible for them to escape alive.
Our side is waiting for the magic circle to be activated and the encirclement to be closed, but what are these guys waiting for?
Kipling was puzzled, but his expression remained calm. He shook his head and said, "I said... As long as they abide by the laws of the kingdom, we welcome any chamber of commerce. We didn't mean to embarrass you, President Canossa. But..."
After a pause, he changed the subject, "The companion you brought just now killed a member of our kingdom's royal family, as well as many knights and a noble from Omar. This is already a heinous crime. I also believe that this matter may have nothing to do with President Canossa, but we need you to cooperate with us in some investigations. So... I'm sorry, I can't let you leave for the time being."
Canossa listened to this and sneered: "Haha."
A high-sounding and expected answer.
Canossa was the one stealing the show throughout the whole process, and Basel, who was standing aside, felt that he had no sense of participation.
Now that the chat was dead, he thought he could join in, so he shouted at the top of his voice: "Kipling boy, stop being so hypocritical! Since you are so right, then you should also tell everyone why you offered a reward to me?"
Although werewolves seem to be thick-skinned and sometimes stupid, they are actually very smart.
These words hit the pain point directly.
The reason why Basel was offered a bounty was naturally because he wanted to eliminate the trouble forever after he failed in trying to get the "Crystal of Divine Power" by killing someone in the giant flower's belly last time.
Now that the country has just been established, many high-ranking officials in the Glorious Kingdom are wanted criminals by the two empires. It is definitely untenable to use Basel's previous identity as a thief, but it is impossible to tell the truth.
Kipling could only come up with an excuse: "We suspect that you are colluding with the remnants of the barbarians and attempting to threaten the security of the kingdom."
"Oh?"
Bazel was not as polite as Canossa. When he was unhappy, he would just start to rant: "You are bullshitting! What a hypocrite! Kipling, you were also present when the Plague Base was wiped out. So, why did everyone else die, but you were the only one who survived?"
He sneered, and before anyone else could think about it, he directly told the truth, "You let tens of thousands of people in the entire base delay you, and then used the magic tower teleportation array to escape, but is that true?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at each other in surprise.
The annihilation of the "Plague Base" was a sensation at the time, but it is said that no one survived and no one knew what happened.
Now that I hear it, there is actually another hidden story?
Is there anyone alive?
And, it's their King?
Thinking carefully about what Basel said, the mysterious group annihilation incident seemed to become clear immediately.
Yes, if King Kipling, such a powerful wizard, was present at the time, why was the base destroyed?
Moreover, after the base was destroyed, there were no survivors. Why did Kipling survive?
Could it be that the magic circle really teleported him away?
“…”
When Kipling heard this, his expression remained unchanged, but a hint of gloom flashed across his eyes.
As a king, he naturally could not have the audacity to deny the facts and could only choose to remain silent.
At this time, Bazel did not give him a chance to quibble, and said: "Humph! You dare not admit it? Kipling boy, where is your moral and righteous talk just now?"
This guy was very ruthless when he spoke, and he continued, "Later, you coveted the treasures of the Coleman tribe and chased us into the deep forest, but were accidentally swallowed by the 'Moro Corpse King Flower'. President Kanosa and I were kind enough to find a way to break the giant flower, but you didn't help, and you saw that our fighting spirit was exhausted and attacked us to obtain the 'Divine Power Crystal'. Is this also true?"
The onlookers suddenly realized what was going on. So that's where the hatred came from?
When Kipling heard this, his face turned ugly.
This is also a fact, and there is no room for him to defend himself.
Seeing the other party was silent, Bazel continued, "But you can't kill for money. You are afraid of our revenge, so you issued a wanted order. Is there anything I said wrong?"
A series of soul-searching questions made the guys from Glory City look extremely unhappy.
Most of the high-end fighters present had participated in the incident at that time. Although these old guys were shameless, they were not thick-skinned enough to change their statements on the spot when confronted by the parties involved.
…
Of course, beeping and such have never been important, since they are all dying anyway.
After chatting for a few sentences, both sides realized that the other side was stalling for time.
At this time, a faint magical fluctuation came from the void, and Kipling didn't say anything else.
He looked at Ryan and the other two on the field as if they were dead people.
Although today's trap did not catch the ultimate barbarian priest, the arrival of two legends has relieved most of the worries.
Kipling had no interest in hiding it, and said in a deep voice: "Kill without mercy!"
Upon hearing this cold order, Ryan and the other two remained calm, but the onlookers began to look slightly uneasy.
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire banquet hall's floor, beams, and walls suddenly lit up with complex blue magic lights. In the blink of an eye, they merged into one, projecting a series of mysterious hexagram magic arrays in the air...
…
"Boundary?"
Ryan had long guessed that the other party must be harboring some bad intentions since he had delayed taking action for so long.
But he wasn't too worried with Canossa and Bazel around.
His eyes swept over these complex magic arrays, and the system immediately compared the results. He had read a lot of ancient materials in the goblin ruins, and those ancient books happened to record some similar magic patterns.
"A magic circle barrier related to gravity?"
Ryan looked at the results analyzed by the system and frowned slightly.
"Gravity magic" is not mainstream magic, but a lost ancient magic system. Even the Magicians' Guild does not have any complete records of gravity magic.
The foundation of this Glorious City is indeed extraordinary, and it can actually create such a complete gravity barrier.
And it looks like the grade is not low.
However, these guys are ruthless enough...
The range-covering barrier means that they never intended to keep the people in the banquet hall alive from the beginning?
The phrase "kill without mercy" is quite meaningful.
…
The moment the magic circle lit up, the barrier was activated.
Before Ryan had time to think, he suddenly felt as if an invisible force was pulling his body down and dragging it!
"Ten times gravity!"
Ryan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately understood something.
The data marked on the system suddenly changed, and the gravity in the banquet hall suddenly became ten times as strong as before.
The sudden change in gravity is not as simple as simply increasing the weight on the body tenfold.
With his current physical condition, he can withstand a hundred times, if not ten times, his own weight.
But the pressure brought by this sudden increase in "gravity field" is not just on bones and muscles. The real "killing force" comes from the burden on the cardiovascular system!
Under normal gravity, your heartbeat can provide adequate blood supply to the brain and other parts of the body, but if this happens suddenly, all the body fluids will sink, and the original heartbeat will not be enough to supply blood to the whole body.
The brain and internal organs will also receive a momentary shock...
It felt as if something was pulling my soul out of my body and dragging it into hell!
This kind of sudden change in gravity... is very likely to cause sudden death in an instant!
Moreover, the gravity of this gravitational field is still increasing...
“Twenty times more!”
The system panel jumps to the table instantly.
It's not a slow growth, but a sudden surge!
Just as Ryan expected, when this "twenty times gravity field" appeared, in just a moment, ninety-nine percent of the people present fell to the ground as if they were slapped by an invisible palm.
These were basically low-level extraordinary nobles and wealthy businessmen. How could they bear such pressure? More than 90% of them died instantly!
Those wealthy businessmen with big bellies were directly crushed into a ball of blood mist by the gravity and exploded.
“Snap”, “Snap”, “Snap”…
The sound like a water bag bursting echoed densely in the banquet hall.
For a moment, the entire space was filled with blood mist.
Under such a load, even Ryan himself was breathing heavily and felt like his heart was about to explode.
Fortunately, his physical strength reached the fourth or fifth level of extraordinary level, and he was also a doctor, otherwise he would have died on the spot.
The sudden gravity field also made Canossa and Bazel frown.
This level of barrier can kill low-level transcendents, but it is obviously not expected to be able to kill legendary strongmen.
The other party did this naturally to limit their combat effectiveness!
The sudden arrival of twenty times gravity made Ryan and the other two feel as if their feet were stepping on a pool of asphalt. Their hearts were under great strain and they even had difficulty lifting their feet... In this situation, if they were asked to fight, they would not be able to burst out with any combat power in a short period of time.
Since it was a hidden attack, the enemy would not give them time to adapt to the gravity field.
At the moment the magic barrier lit up, the [Frost Moon Swordsman] Carlo could no longer hold back the crazy killing intent in his eyes, and rushed over with his sword drawn...
Behind him, the red-robed great wizards of Glory City also began chanting and casting spells...
At this moment, Kipling's eyes were full of coldness.
So what if they are two legends? In this situation, whoever comes will die!
…
Under normal circumstances, if the two legends, Bazel and Canossa, joined forces, they could at least delay the enemy for a while, if not break out of the siege.
But this twenty-fold gravity field greatly limits the combat power they can unleash.
However, the enemy on the opposite side was not affected by the abnormal gravity at all.
As one side gains strength, the other side loses strength. It seems that Ryan and the other two are doomed tonight.
But in such a dangerous situation, there was no panic on the faces of the three of them. Instead, they sneered continuously.
Because at this moment, a high-pitched and dense dragon roar suddenly sounded in the sky above the Black Wind Territory...
