Main Volume Chapter 104 Bluffing
Zhang Yun guessed one thing right, and one thing wrong.
Karl didn't dare to fight him because he had concerns. He was afraid that Zhang Yun and Brother Zun would become extremely powerful and he would suffer if he acted rashly.
After all, this mission is different from capturing Lucina and does not have such a high priority. Carl does not need to risk his life, and there is no need to summon the phantom of the ancient evil god.
At least not for now...
The reason why Carl didn't attack Effie was because of Effie's father. The two sides had a conflict of interest, and it was not as Zhang Yun thought that "the two had no connection."
After all, "Insight " can only reveal Effie's identity, and make it clear that she is a devout Holy Knight with an archbishop father behind her, but it cannot show that her father is secretly cooperating with Ajid.
so……
Zhang Yun didn't expect this...
"So, Lord Carl, are you going to let me take her away?" Zhang Yun continued to put pressure on Carl. "I see that you have been hesitating for a long time and have not killed this Holy Knight of the Divine Life Order. I guess you don't need her, right?"
"Why don't you give it to us and do us a favor? Next time you summon the undead, I can continue to help you cast the Philosopher's Stone!"
Karl's eyes were like blades, and he said in a bad tone: "She can leave, but you can't. Since you destroyed my magic circle, you have to leave something behind, right?"
After hearing this, Zhang Yun laughed and began to speak: "Why? Are you Ajid so stingy? Isn't it just a small undead magic circle? How can it compare to what you summoned with sacrifice?"
Akito?
Sacrifice?
Something to summon?
Fuck! This guy really came prepared! He knows about our Ajid! He even knows the trump card we can use to sacrifice and summon!
Suddenly, Karl's heart was in turmoil, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind, and he became even more afraid to take action.
He began to feel like giving up. After all, the Sea of the Dead had been destroyed and his mission had completely failed. He would be punished no matter what he did.
Instead of wasting time here with the unidentified Oriental man in front of him, it would be better to go back and inform others about this matter, let them deal with the aftermath of this failure, and then investigate the identities of the mysterious people in front of him.
As for revenge for the magic circle?
It’s not that Karl didn’t want to, it’s just that he couldn’t figure out Zhang Yun’s background, and Zhang Yun could actually tell him about her situation.
The weather, the location and the people are all not favorable to you. It is too easy to suffer a loss if you fight with the enemy without knowing the reason.
Moreover, Carl had a hunch that the Oriental man in front of him was not simple in strength. Just like an ordinary person seeing a poisonous snake, he felt a chill in his heart.
So he felt that not only should he not conflict with Zhang Yun, but he should also find a way to avoid Zhang Yun.
The arrogant words "You are not allowed to leave" just now were actually pretended by Carl. If he really wanted to settle the score, he would have turned into a monster and rushed up to give Zhang Yun a claw. Why would he stay here and talk for so long?
So, the current situation is that both of them are masters of bluffing and are deceiving each other.
Zhang Yun pretended to be an ancient evil god-level being, trying to trick Carl into talking and find out their plans and arrangements for attacking the holy city.
Just like how he had deceived that poor Ajith who was tracking him with the recording crystal.
Carl pretended that I wanted to fuck you, but in fact, not only did I not want to fuck you, I also wanted to leave here and get rid of you, this mysterious existence with unknown information, as soon as possible.
But leaving in disgrace like this is not in line with the Z-right of our Ajid...
In comparison, Zhang Yun is more skilled, after all, she has the bug ability of "insight" to make up for the information gap.
Except for people like Lucina, who have been in contact with him for a long time and have maxed out their observation ability, everyone else will basically be deceived by his "bluffing".
But unfortunately, Carl's mind was full of running away. No matter what kind of demon Zhang Yun disguised herself as, he would not answer Zhang Yun, and he would not respond like Ajid did before, following Zhang Yun's rhythm...
So, when Zhang Yun was about to start exerting her strength and asking Carl a question, Carl suddenly raised his head and looked seriously at the rain cloud summoned by Zhang Yun.
"Um……"
"My Lord is calling me..."
He turned around and shouted, "Boy, you are lucky today. I don't have time to waste with you. I will let you go this time, but next time, I will definitely avenge today's broken formation!"
After saying that, Ajid transformed into a monster, retreated straight back, and then ran along the street that had been purified by the rain of resurrection, and disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
Lucina hurried forward and tried to stop Ajid, but Zhang Yun held out her hand to stop her and said, "Don't worry, we can track it. Let's just let it run for a while!"
"Anyway, we have already guessed the purpose of it summoning the army of undead, to attack the Holy City, so it will definitely not leave too far. Even if it wants to leave, it will run in the direction of the Holy City."
"Besides, it's not easy to fight it in this city. What if it summons the phantom of the Ancient Evil God again..."
After hearing Zhang Yun's analysis, Lucina expressed her understanding, nodded slightly, put away the half-drawn white sword, and put it back into the scabbard.
After a pause, Lucina suddenly reacted and asked, "So, your operation failed? Master Zhang?"
Zhang Yun coughed twice: "Ahem, failure is normal, you have to understand... After all, I'm not a god, how can I succeed every time?"
Lucina rolled her eyes. "So you fooled Ajith last time?"
Zhang Yun turned around and said, "The situation is different. That guy has been tracking you. If he doesn't tell me anything, I will kill him. So, in order to ensure that I can continue to track you, even if he finds out that I am trying to trick him, he must fall into my trap..."
"How is it like this?"
"Before I could finish my words, it found a random excuse and ran away, not giving me a chance to make a move."
After a pause, Zhang Yun stared at the direction where Carl fled, and said slowly: "However, if I meet it again later, I will use some drastic measures to force it to reveal useful information..."
Lucina smiled, stretched out her hand, and said, "Okay, I'll watch your performance later. I'll learn from you and try to use your method to get information from others next time."
Zhang Yun deliberately belittled and said, "Farewell, trust me, you can't learn my trick, there are many tricks involved."
Lucina snorted, "Don't underestimate my learning ability!"
"uh-huh?"
Zhang Yun glanced at her and repeated in Lucina's tone, "Don't underestimate my learning ability?"
Lucina punched him with her fist: "Hey! Don't imitate my tone! It sounds disgusting!"
Being attacked by the little fists, Zhang Yun smiled and asked, "How is it? I am a pretty good learner, right? Come on, sing another paragraph , don't imitate my tone, hahaha!"
Lucina: "(﹁﹁)~→"
At this moment, Effie suddenly stood in front of the two of them, holding a sword in both hands, with a look of alertness on her face: "Hey! Who are you? What is your relationship with that monster? Tell the truth!"
When Effie saw Ajid running away just now, she wanted to intercept him, but unfortunately Ajid was too fast and she would definitely not be able to catch up with him without riding a monster.
So she gave up the idea of chasing Ajid and turned to Zhang Yun and Lucina, wanting to find out the reason for the incident and the information about the monster Carl from them.
After all, judging from the conversation just now, these people have a great relationship with the monster. Although they are not in the same group, they definitely know the monster's intelligence...
"Well, she came to ask, I'll leave it to you."
Zhang Yun stepped back behind Lucina, patted her shoulder, and whispered, "Think of a way. Don't reveal your identity yet, and don't take out the sword. Try to gain her trust in other ways."
“If all else fails, use your identity to lure her into our team. But don’t take out the sword, lest Akito notice it…”
Lucina said, "Don't worry, I have a way. She will definitely believe me. Just do what you need to do!"
Zhang Yun said in surprise: "Wow?"
"uh-huh?"
Lucina blinked and looked smug: "Sorry, I guessed that you would hand her over to me and go after Akito yourself."
"I know your habits well~"
"You have to kill the monster~"
"Isn't it~"
Zhang Yun shrugged and asked, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you... But aren't you worried that something might happen to me? Not even a single word of blessing?"
Lucina smiled but said nothing: "(￣)"
"Okay, I'm leaving now. I'll come back and tell you what happened when I'm done!" Zhang Yun rode on the spiritual crane, then waved to Zun Ge and Lily, asking them to go with her.
Soon, several people rode on the crane, which flapped its huge wings, took off into the air, and flew in the direction of Ajid.
Seeing this, Effie rushed forward and wanted to stop Zhang Yun and others from leaving, but was stopped by Lucina.
She took out the white phoenix badge, activated the magic on it, and revealed a white phoenix shadow. Then she said, "Holy Knight, you should know what this badge represents. I don't need to explain it, right?"
Effie was horrified: "White Phoenix!?"
"Are you a noble from the capital of Alberia!?"
Hearing Effie's words, Lucina immediately put away the badge, her face calm, and she slowly said: "What do you want to ask? Tell me! I will tell you everything I know."
Effie frowned and asked, "Then I want to know, what are they going to do?"
"Kill Akito!"
…
On the other side, Zhang Yun deliberately slowed down the flying speed of the spiritual crane and did not catch up with Carl immediately. Instead, he waited for this guy to escape from the city, force his way through the group of already panicked undead army, and arrive in the uninhabited desert before he followed him .
As for the undead armies besieging the city...
Because Carl defected, the leader of the Undead Gang died, and Robin, who commanded the army besieging the city, also died, so they didn't receive any signal to launch an attack from inside the city, and they just waited outside the city stupidly.
As a result, these undead gang members stayed there for a long time without receiving the order to attack or retreat. Instead, they received a sudden heavy rain containing a special energy that "weakened" all the undead they summoned.
When the defenders saw this strange sight, they organized a team, including members of several gangs, and with the help of long-range weapons, they charged directly at the undead that were besieging the city.
As a result, the Undead army was in chaos, the Undead gang's minions were in chaos, and the city defense troops attacking the Undead were in chaos. They didn't even get a clear look at what Ajid looked like as they were trampled to death by it, and it walked away, crushing their corpses.
Seeing that there were still extra undead troops outside the city, Zhang Yun wanted to get rid of them in order to complete the final optional task...
But tracking down Ajid is more important now, so let’s ignore these chaotic guys for now.
However, what Zhang Yun meant by "don't care" was that it would take too much time to clear them all at once, and she would probably lose sight of Akito who was running very fast.
If it was just a matter of throwing a few hundred light balls, letting them fall freely, and "blowing up" some of the undead with low health before they died, it would be very simple, and Zhang Yun could spend some time to do it.
Anyway, he wanted to wait for Carl to run a little further away to avoid the battle affecting too many things, and at the same time, it would be convenient for him to use "bluffing" to get the information about Ajith behind Carl...
Since you're going to waste time anyway, why not just sit there and use it to throw light balls? The more undead you can kill, the better.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yun flew around these chaotic undead spirits and dropped nearly three hundred light balls, which blew up all the chaotic undead spirits and made the scene even more chaotic.
Soon, those in the melee noticed Zhang Yun, who kept summoning balls of light and throwing them down. They discovered that he was riding a rare and seldom-seen magical beast, flying high in the sky. The distance was very far away, and it was difficult to hit him with ordinary attacks. Only powerful archers and magicians could possibly touch him.
"grass!"
"Which faction does this guy belong to?"
"Whoever can hit him, take him down quickly and don't let him attack again!"
However, those involved in the fight soon discovered that although these light balls would explode when they hit the ground, their power was very small and they could not hurt anyone at all. At most, they would hit people on the head and cause them to bleed.
On the contrary, the undead souls weakened by the rain were blasted by the light cannons fired by the light balls before they died. They would fall down in large numbers, just like salt blocks encountering a flood, and would melt and dissipate in an instant.
"What is this? Divine power? To restrain the undead?"
"Hahaha!"
"This guy is from our city!"
"Follow our faction!"
"Okay, brothers, stop hitting him. Let him continue throwing these weird things and kill all these damn undead!"
"etc……"
"Are there mages and archers among those bastards from the Undead Gang?"
"Fuck, brothers, come here quickly, concentrate your attack, and kill those guys who can shoot into the sky first, don't let them affect our reinforcements!"
“Go!”
Just like this, Zhang Yun, who originally had to worry about dodging the cold arrows and magic flying from the ground, now doesn’t have to worry about it at all. He can calmly summon out light balls and then throw them all to the ground, covering every corner of the battlefield.
The morale of the gang members defending the city was also boosted, and with the help of the light balls that blew up large numbers of undead and the continuous rain of resurrection, they swept through the undead army of the Dead Gang like jackals and killed all the enemies.
Even the members of the Undead Gang who controlled the undead were killed by the city defense troops. They wanted to fight back, but unfortunately they couldn't turn around this huge disadvantage...
