Chapter 384: How do traditional stories drive the plot forward?
One thing Kira discovered very early on: most of the comics can find similar settings in the three major popular comics.
Maybe it’s because successful authors all have the same idea?
From the other party's communication, Kira got several pieces of information:
The success rate of humans transforming into orcs is not high. If they fail, they will become mindless beasts that only obey orders. If they succeed, they can gain powerful strength, but they also need to obey orders.
The richer the magic power in the body, the higher the success rate of transformation, and the stronger it will be after transformation;
The master of the orc army is the finance minister, not the king;
The introduced machines had nothing to do with the Orc Legion; they were just things the king bought from some channel.
"Hey, hey...really? You were turned into this state by the other party for no reason, and you have to obey the orders of that guy. Don't you have the intention to resist at all?"
As if it was a natural skill, Kira skillfully began to fan the flames, "Without a human body, you can't enjoy life! You can't do this or that! Also, you might be asked to do this or that by the other party..."
Before he finished speaking, more than a dozen orcs' weapons fell down at the same time, and the place where Kira was standing was smashed to pieces by swords, spears, axes, hammers and bullets! And Kira... turned sideways in the air for two and a half weeks, and landed gracefully with the help of flying magic.
"What's wrong? Did I come up with something? Did the old man really ask you to do something like this?"
But it was obvious that the other party did not want to pay attention to Kira's provocation and continued to issue orders: "He is the 'Holy Ten', don't hold back! If you attack without the intention of killing him, we will be the ones to die!"
"Yes!!!"
When the other party rushed forward again, Kira realized that his words just now might have been too harsh and aroused everyone's anger.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have said it so directly..."
This time, the orc army attacked even more fiercely.
Kira did not fight back directly, but kept dodging while thinking about his next strategy.
If these were a group of sensible beasts, I would just kill them. But since they were still rational humans, it seemed a bit too cold-blooded to kill them so easily. Besides, maybe they would be useful to me in the future.
Best of all, it would be possible to find out how their master, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, transforms and controls them.
Furthermore, if we recruit these orc legions into our own army, won’t we have no shortage of manpower to realize our plan of “doing business in the three continents” in the future?
Swords, spears, and axes, every orc wielded his weapon with such ease that it made a whirring sound. Judging from their proficiency, they were probably elite soldiers of the kingdom's army before becoming a member of the orc army.
"Could it be that you were experts in using these weapons in the past? You look quite capable!"
They chopped horizontally and cut vertically, stabbed straight and slashed diagonally, they seemed to be old teammates who had cooperated for many years. The previous attack had not yet ended when the next attack came one after another, one after another, gradually forming an impenetrable attack net, and Kira tapped his feet and moved his body like a slippery fish, and no attack could hurt him.
Suddenly, Kira noticed that the Cheetah Swordsman's movements were somewhat similar to someone else's, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Huh?! Brother Cheetah, your two-sword style swordsmanship looks very familiar! Who taught you?"
Cheetah didn't answer, but in the midst of his busy schedule, he gave Kira a strange look.
Kira understood and muttered angrily, "Oh my goodness, it must be that guy Disper who taught such a guy to cheat me? I'll settle the score with you when I have the chance!"
These rational orcs were three points less bloody than the orcs they had encountered before, but their fighting skills were more sophisticated, and no matter in terms of strength, speed or stamina, they were far superior to those defective ones.
Even Kira had to admit the cleverness of this technique - although it seemed to be immature!
So the question is, how did the finance minister master this technology?
The first thing that can be confirmed is that this is a kind of black magic that transforms the human body!
When Kira thought of black magic and transformation, the first thing that came to his mind was Zeref, but these orcs were not demons, and they did not have the aura of Zeref. Of course, the most important thing was that they could be controlled by people, and Zeref's creations would not be so low!
"Anyway, let's defeat them first - Dreamland!!"
This move is Mistgang's unique move, which is stronger than the Mist Illusion Naraku he often uses. How could a wizard like Kira who loves learning and magic not borrow it for use?
The Orc Legion is indeed strong, with excellent attack, defense and speed, but after several battles with them, Kira already knows their weakness, which is mental strength. Their resistance in this aspect is almost zero!
As expected, under the influence of the dreamland, the orc army fell to the ground one after another.
"Then... just tie them up like this."
Just as Kira was about to tie up the beast, a loud bang suddenly came from behind him.
"What happened?!"
While wondering, Kira felt something taking off behind him. He looked back and his eyes suddenly widened. He saw a giant mechanical machine several tens of meters high flying towards the distance.
"Hiss... There's actually something like this in Bosque Country?! It's so !! By the way, this is too cool!!"
When the silhouette of the machine giant disappeared into the sky, Kira came back to his senses: "Wait, where are Jura-san, the guards, and the princess?"
Any normal person could guess what happened in the scene before them, but Kira still found it hard to believe it.
"This isn't true... it's really not true..."
Kira covered his face speechlessly, muttering to himself as he looked around. Only when he was sure that there was no one else did he confirm his guess, "He was caught after all... Is this really a traditional development? Do we have to rely on those incompetent women to push the plot forward?"
"I knew that these 20 million J wouldn't be so easy to get! By the way, Jura was also arrested? No way?! How did he do it?"
Kira naturally couldn't let the other party escape like this, otherwise he would not be able to explain to King Thomas. More importantly, his 100% mission completion rate would be broken.
"Do you think you can snatch someone from me like this? You're kidding!"
Kira reached into his arms and pulled out the locator.
A few days ago, Kira placed locators on Princess Emerald, and more than one!
Of course, it was not for some strange reason, but to prevent accidents during the mission. Just like now, when the other party was captured by the enemy, he could find her location.
Now, the target position on the locator has been moving rapidly, and its z-axis coordinate is still far away from itself, which means that the other party is flying rapidly at a high altitude.
"So, it is inside the robot after all? This is really difficult!"
There is a saying: If it’s difficult, then just don’t do it!
But Kira couldn't just not do it now! He had always believed that he had to make money and keep his reputation, because that would make more money.
No one can take advantage of me, Kira! If anyone does, it must be because I am being merciful, or doing so will allow me to take more advantage!
So Kira flapped his wings and flew high, casting speed magic at the same time, chasing in the direction indicated by the locator.
Soon, he arrived at a valley near the royal capital, and the silhouette of the giant machine could be seen in the distance.
It was not until then that Kira discovered that there was a hidden town in the valley, with various buildings surrounding a European-style castle. The target of the mechanical giant was this castle.
Kira raised his eyebrows. Although he knew that the other party would have a lot of people, he was still surprised by the scene before him.
You know, such a base cannot be built overnight, which means that the other party has possessed the black magic of "biological transformation" for a long time.
Suddenly, the machine giant began to descend. Kira immediately took out the locator. The target's Z-axis coordinate was rapidly decreasing at this time, which meant that the target was falling!
"Sure enough, the hostages are inside!"
