Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 249 Command Rune
"So, you'll let me be the captain of Squad 6?"
Xu Shen's eyes were eager.
Nasefani shook her head slightly. "First, I don't have the right to appoint a captain. Second, I can only say that I am more optimistic about you, but the competition for the captain of the Royal Guard has always been fair and just. Even I can only tell you a little bit about the captain's election this time."
Xu Shen nodded repeatedly: "Thank you Miss Fanny."
"The two captain positions are vacant. According to the old rules, we will select the strongest from each team to serve as captain. However, your two teams suffered heavy casualties this time, and only four people returned from the second squad..."
Nasefani briefly explained the situation and then looked at Xu Shen: "Since both teams have vacant captain positions, the Queen Ant intends to merge your two teams."
"merge?"
Xu Shen was surprised: "But that's the second team, their overall combat power is much stronger than ours. If they merge... we will also be the second team?"
"No, after the merger you will be the Sixth Division."
Nasefani said: "The strength of the squad number mainly depends on the captain. The combat power of the other members varies, some are strong and some are weak, but the key lies in the upper limit!"
Obviously, the captain is the ceiling of each team.
Does the Second Team rely entirely on Xi Changlin... Xu Shen's eyes moved slightly. Xi Changlin's ability was indeed strange. If he didn't take it seriously, it would be really difficult to kill him.
On the contrary, Wang Cheng solved the problem much more smoothly...
As Xu Shen recalled the scene of killing the two captains, Nasefani continued, "If you are the captain, you can only be the captain of the sixth squad. Unless you challenge the captains of other squads in front of you, you can upgrade your squad number."
Xu Shen nodded slightly. He knew the rule.
I also heard that the treatment in each squad is different.
"After the merger, one squad will be reduced. Squad 2 will be vacant and will be temporarily replaced by Squad 3."
Nasefani said, "The captain of your Sixth Division will be selected from the players of each team. This means that the players of the other divisions are also eligible to challenge and compete."
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows, this is the big screening.
It is indeed fair and just.
"If you want to compete, I can provide you with information about the members of other teams, including their abilities and fighting methods..." Nasefani said to Xu Shen.
Xu Shen was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing.
It is indeed fair and just.
"Thank you, Miss Fanny." Xu Shen said gratefully, "Miss Fanny is helping me like this, what else can I do for you?"
"You don't need to do anything. Once you compete for the captaincy, all you need to do is be loyal enough," said Nasefani.
"I am absolutely loyal to Your Highness and am willing to swear allegiance to Your Highness until death." Xu Shen said hurriedly, but he was a little confused. Is it just loyalty?
"Although I can provide them with information, the key still depends on you." Nasefani said calmly: "Some things, even if you know how others do it, you may not be able to handle it, so it depends on whether you can seize the opportunity yourself."
Xu Shen nodded: "I will try my best!"
Nasefani nodded slightly and handed the document in her arms to Xu Shen.
The plump curves, without the cover of the file, are like towering waves, almost pushing the buttons open.
Xu Shen took a quick look and then focused his attention on the document.
When I opened it, it turned out to be intelligence information of various squads.
"Destroy it after reading it, otherwise you know the consequences." Nasefani said.
Xu Shen nodded immediately.
After Nasefani left, Xu Shen quickly glanced at the document and found that it only recorded the abilities of the members of each team, but did not reveal much other information.
These abilities are varied, but there are very few trait systems, only four.
But judging from the ability description, it is not very strong.
It's just a bit strange, and if you are unprepared, you may suffer a loss.
…
…
Not long after, Xue Gong summoned all the guards from various divisions to the meeting room.
The queen ant sat on the throne above the hall, and Nasefani stood beside her, like a female secretary, with an equally cold expression. She stood high above and read out the matters selected by the captain.
Xu Shen noticed that her eyes did not linger on him, and she seemed not to know him, so he tactfully did not look at her any further.
He looked at the other teams in the crowd, matching the faces of the team members with their information one by one.
After Nasefani finished her story, the people from each team behaved quite calmly and just looked at each other. They had received the news before coming and came prepared.
"…The two teams are combined. Please each team select a candidate who you think can serve as captain."
Nasefani said.
Lin Xiao and Lou Haiyin looked at Xu Shen. Lou Haiyin knew that with Xu Shen around, she would definitely not be able to get the captain position. After all, Captain Wang’s death was because he blocked Xu Shen’s way.
And as for Xi Changlin...she suspected that the same was probably true.
But she didn't feel any regret for Xi Changlin's death, and she had disliked that guy for a long time.
"Xu Shen, then I'll leave it to you. I'm used to being idle." Lin Xiao patted Xu Shen's shoulder and said generously.
Xu Shen nodded.
Lou Haiyin glanced at Lin Xiao and asked, "Are you testing the edge of hell?"
On the other side, the four members of the second team looked at each other. At Nasefani's urging, two of them spoke up and recommended themselves.
Seeing this, Nasefani remained calm and said, "In that case, the two of you should decide the winner first, and then compete with Xu Shen from the former Sixth Division."
The two looked at each other and saw the murderous intent in each other's eyes.
"You shouldn't have snatched it from me."
"I'm sorry, I want to do more for your Highness."
"So do I."
The two of them didn't hold back and fled into the ruins in the area marked out by Nasserphone, where they soon engaged in a fierce battle with each other.
"The second team is not as united as we imagined." Lin Xiao said in a low voice.
Lou Haiyin nodded slightly: "After all, it is the captain's position. The status of a team member and a captain is very different."
Xu deeply understood that when he was the captain and a member of the team in the Xumi Bureau, the treatment he received was completely different.
Soon, after a fierce battle, the two finally decided the winner, with one of them winning by a narrow margin.
Seeing this, Nasefani made an announcement and called the healer to heal him.
But then, Nasefani did not rush him to fight Xu Shen, but looked at other teams.
"Who wants to run for captain of the Sixth Division? Please step out."
Nasefani's words echoed loudly in the hall.
The people from other teams looked at each other, and finally seven or eight people stood up. These seven or eight people all believed that their strength was better than the two they had just fought.
Nasefani nodded, and immediately asked the eight people to challenge those who had lost the previous fight.
The person who fails in the competition is the first hurdle. If he cannot even beat the opponent, he does not even have the qualifications to challenge.
Soon, eight people took turns to fight.
The battle lasted for an hour and a half.
Seven out of eight people won.
However, the person who failed in the competition was defeated seven times in a row and suffered seven serious blows and critical hits. Coupled with the blow of failure in the competition, it can be said that he suffered both external and internal injuries.
"Now, the two of you will decide the winner." Nasefani said with an indifferent expression, "According to the previous rules, the loser will take turns to compete with these seven."
Xu Shen looked at the young man from the second team.
The ability that the other party had previously demonstrated was manipulation. According to the information provided by Nasefani, it was called the Command Rune.
Through the opponent's previous battle, Xu Shen also witnessed this ability with his own eyes. It was similar to Chen Lei's puppet ability, mainly releasing runes of nothingness and engraving instructions on them.
Once a rune is attached to or touched, the instructions written on it must be followed.
Similar to puppet control.
But unlike puppet control, Chen Lei's puppets are built-in, and he can also use the bodies of people around him as puppets, but he needs to "communicate" in advance, and the number of puppets he can control is limited. 3 to 6 can be controlled accurately, and if there are more than 6, the power of the puppet will weaken.
But the opponent's command runes can release dozens or even hundreds of them.
That is, it can perform a wide range of control at the same time.
But the flaw is that only a simple instruction can be engraved on each command rune, and complex instructions cannot be completed.
For example, walking, singing, eating, jumping on the spot, etc.
Simply put, when fighting against an enemy, you must avoid touching these command runes.
The person he defeated before happened to be a master of thunder and was familiar with his abilities, so he kept dodging him, and he almost shot him to death from a distance by relying on the power of thunder.
Unfortunately, he was touched by the command rune hidden under his feet, causing him to be trapped in the command and then become a plaything in his hands.
If you are caught off guard, this ability can be considered extremely strange and powerful.
The latter is probably second only to Xi Changlin in the second squad.
Seeing Xu Shen's gaze, Feng Qing glanced at him indifferently with a hint of contempt and indifference in his eyes. Xi Changlin's disappearance was too abrupt, but it could only be considered that he was unlucky.
There are always people dying in this world, that is to leave space for future generations.
"Are you sure you want to fight with me?" Feng Qing looked at Xu Shen indifferently.
Xu Shen had a calm expression and did not reply.
Lou Haiyin smiled bitterly secretly. Feng Qing didn't know what kind of monster he was facing.
However, she didn’t know whether Xu Shen would continue to disguise himself in front of the queen ant.
If she wasn't disguised... I'm sure everyone present would be shocked!
"snort!"
Seeing that Xu Shen ignored him, Feng Qing's face turned cold, and he disappeared into the world of ruins, saying, "Let's get started."
Xu Shen also escaped into the ruins. He was surrounded by a vast expanse of flat land with no cover, which put him at a disadvantage in terms of some abilities that required coordinated tactics.
The opponent's command rune is a tactical ability.
"Let's get started." Nasefani gave the order very straightforwardly.
Feng Qing acted quickly, and purple-blue runes shot out like sharp blades, shooting towards Xu Shen.
Xu Shen's figure swayed slightly, and he walked towards it, nimbly dodging the runes.
Although these runes are fast, it is difficult to hit a person head-on. The firing rate is slightly slower than that of a sniper rifle's bullets, which is enough for the two states to react.
The only thing to do is to avoid touching.
Xu Shen dodged while walking towards the other party.
Feng Qing's expression was a little gloomy. The attributes of the command rune itself were extremely hidden. It could only be seen by one with a high level of mental power. And obviously, Xu Shen in front of him had good mental power.
If he encounters someone with weaker mental strength, he only needs one rune to defeat the enemy.
As Xu Shen approached, he waved his hands and more and more runes shot out, sweeping like a storm.
Xu Shen dodged quickly, jumping left and right on the ground, approaching the opponent.
Feng Qing's face changed slightly. He had buried some runes in the soil on the ground during the previous battle, but they were now discovered by Xu Shen.
"Your eyes are very sharp!" Feng Qing's eyes were cold, and the number of runes released was increasing rapidly.
Xu Shen didn't say anything. The distance between them decreased from 15 meters to 10 meters, 8 meters, and 6 meters.
In a blink of an eye, it reached 4 meters.
Feng Qing was still waving the runes, but his expression was obviously a little anxious.
call.
Suddenly, dozens of runes shot out, sweeping like sand wind, blocking all directions for Xu Shen to dodge.
Chains suddenly burst out from Xu Shen's body and shot out, piercing through the runes and throwing them away, clearing the space in front of his eyes.
As he was about to step into the two-meter area, the anxiety on Feng Qing's face suddenly turned into a sly smile.
whoosh!
A faint flash of silver light.
Xu Shen's sword was instantly unsheathed and landed on Feng Qing's neck.
Victory!
The strange smile on Feng Qing's face became stiff and frozen. He looked at Xu Shen in disbelief, and his eyes moved down to see Xu Shen's footsteps, which actually stepped directly on his combat boots from two meters away.
Jumped over the area in front of his feet.
"you……"
Feng Qing looked at Xu Shen with difficulty, somewhat unbelievable. The runes he buried so deep in front of his feet and left so early, could they have been sensed?
Xu Shen glanced at him indifferently, retracted his sword and turned around.
From beginning to end, Xu Shen didn't say a word.
But the game ended very quickly, in less than a minute.
Seeing Xu Shen turning around, Feng Qing finally came to his senses and couldn't help asking, "Did you see it? I have buried the talisman here since I came into the hall to gather. How could you have seen it?!"
That's right, when he entered the hall to gather, he quietly buried the command runes along the way to prepare for this battle.
result.
Such an early plan was unexpectedly seen through by Xu Shen.
There was no answer, no sound, Xu Shen just walked back to his original position and waited for the announcement.
A smile appeared in Nasefani's eyes. It seemed that she had invested in the right person.
She announced the result immediately.
Feng Qing's face was pale and he looked at Xu Shen with complicated eyes. How could a guy from the Sixth Squad see through his methods so easily?
But the facts were before him and he had to admit it.
Hearing Feng Qing's words, the others' eyes moved slightly, secretly surprised. Is this the member of the second team? He has been scheming since he entered the hall. With this kind of brain combined with such insidious tactical ability, he is simply a predator in the shadows. As a result, this predator is now exposed to the sun.
It seemed that there was nothing he couldn't see through... Lou Haiyin looked at Xu Shen who was walking back, her eyes flickering slightly. She also asked the elves beside her to know that there was an ambush trap there, but Xu Shen knew about it long ago.
"Now, those who are willing to challenge Feng Qing, please step out." Nasefani said.
The seven winners looked at each other, and finally one of them chose to withdraw.
Only six people were willing to take on the challenge.
