The last light in the sky vanished, and the sun sank behind the top of the mountains, and the clear blue sky slowly began to darken.Magic lights slowly lit up in the palace of the Floating King's City, and a group of Gripen knights rode from the top of the tower and flew around the perimeter of the imperial capital.Standing on the outer corridor of the fourth floor of the Pride Tower, you can overlook the Weiyang Lake in the distance that is silent in the twilight scenery, the middle lakeside manor hidden in the mountains by the lake and dozens of large manor mansions built along the lake, the traffic on Yulin Street is busy, there are constantly horse-drawn carriages merging into the dense traffic, the free market on the Pride Tower Square is crowded, and the signboards of those taverns on the back street are lit up with colorful light strips.Mo Xiang stood behind the stone statue in the outer cloister on the fourth floor of the Tower of Arrogance, holding on to the marble railing with both hands and looking into the distance.I walked slowly along the outer corridor to his side, he was wearing a black magic robe, a thick magic book on the railing, and a pair of round glasses with metal frames on the bridge of his nose, he looked very good, like a teacher in a junior magic academy, without the slightest bit of the courage of the young generation of outstanding generals in the Green Empire.He heard my footsteps, slowly turned his head and smiled at me, "I happened to be back from Angela's many faces, and I heard Bruce say that you have something to look for me?"
”During this time, Mo Xiang led the Mo family's Constructed Knights to fight in Angela's many faces, it is said that he should not appear in the imperial capital at this time, and I just mentioned it casually to the Yerkis scholars, but I didn't expect him to be in the Imperial Capital Magic Research Institute at this time."
Marquis Moxiang, I heard that there is a special room in your house that displays specimens of various demon creatures, if it is convenient, I would like to see it!"
I stood opposite Mo Xiang and said to him.I remember the first time I met him in the Cursed Lands on the outskirts of Sloit, when he gathered a rescue team to rescue Morath, a wood magician, and the female companion beside him was said to be Princess Mansa from the Demon Race, and Princess Mansa's princess's personal maid Brigitte had chased me at that time.The second time I saw Mo Xiang was in an orc tribe-style restaurant in the imperial capital, when he had returned to the family, probably because he had been a magic teacher in the Galloping Horse Academy in Sloit City for several years, which gave him a bookish aura.I remember that William Mo always tried to trouble me at that time, and it was precisely because of the grievances between me and William that this time I wanted to go to the manor of the Mo family, which has a history of more than 800 years, and I could only go through the road of Moxiang.When Mo Xiang heard me say this, he asked in some surprise, "Your purpose for looking for me is so simple?"
”Well, it's really that simple for him.I rubbed my nose and replied, "Uh-huh!
”Mo Xiang smiled implicitly, he knew the grudge between me and William.In the distance, the last rays of light on the summit of Majaro receded, and the imperial capital ushered in the real night.Mo Xiang pressed one hand on the magic book on the marble railing, held the marble statue of the Tower of Arrogance with the other, looked at the bustling night scene below, and exhaled softly and said: "My family has guarded the Kenda plane for generations, and you have probably heard that there is a connection channel with the Flame Hell in the Warat Valley of the Kenda plane, so the Kenda plane is a battlefield between humans and demons, but the dominance of that plane has always fallen into our hands, and every member of the Mo family has been burdened with a mission since birth.
It is an endless battle with the demons, so in order to let the younger generation of the family know about the demons, the elders of the family brought the corpses of some demon creatures back to the imperial capital from the battlefield and displayed them in a basement of the manor. ”At this time, Mo Xiang's face faintly showed a wry smile, and I could fully understand where his wry smile came from.That's right, his love.
The person is a demon princess, who has turned his back on the entire demon clan for him, but he has countless fetters on him, and he can't live as freely as that demon princess, he is the successor of this generation of the Mo family, and an outstanding general among the younger generation of the Green Empire.Mo Xiang glanced at me, smiled at me, and said, "I remember the first time I went to that showroom to learn about the demon when I was a child, and one of the elders of the family dissected a sheep-headed monster with his own hands in front of all of us, and he used a dagger to cut open the sheep's chest, took out all the internal organs inside, and finally held the bloody heart, nailed it to a wooden wedge, and almost vomited the bile at that time, and then I didn't eat for almost three days. ”A very bloody picture appeared in my mind, and Mo Xiang seemed to be expecting to see the discomfort I caused by hearing this, but he didn't know that my eight hundred barbarian slaves were actually piled up with the heads of countless barbarians, and a few years ago, I cut off the heads of those barbarians in the ice wall array on the outskirts of El City, just like going into a vegetable field to chop cabbage, and it is said that the heart of the demon was nailed with a wooden wedge, and the demon would not be resurrected in the Flame Hell after death.He didn't react when he saw that I heard this, so he coughed lightly and said: "Actually, the purpose of that demon showroom is to let us know about those demon creatures, if you want to visit, you can go at any time, if you are interested, I can help you arrange the dissection ceremony, I know that you have been on the battlefield, but I don't know if you can endure that bloody scene." ”I think it's better to avoid this kind of ritual as much as possible before figuring out my identity, in case the demon clan tortured in the ritual is really my compatriots, then do I save it or not?"
Actually, I just want to know about the demons."
I said euphemistically.Mo Xiang's face was ambiguous.
He smiled at me and said, "You want to know about the High Demon Clan?"
I think you seem to have a demon pet that is a succubus?
”When I saw him mention Deborah, I explained to him: "Well, Deborah is actually a harpy, an orc entrusted her to me to take care of her, but when I went to look for her on the first day, I accidentally untied her, and she flew out of the window and was struck by the lightning of the Forbidden Sky Circle, and the Hindki University scholars here at the Institute of Magic gave her the body of a succubus. ”"It's the work of a Sinderky University scholar!"
Mo Xiang showed a sudden look, and added casually: "In fact, the Kenda plane is often infested with real succubi. ”Listening to him, it's like I really like that kind of enchantress with a pair of black wings on her back!
Thinking that his lover was a demon princess, I immediately put away this emotion."
Marquis Moxiang, according to your understanding of the demons, what is the difference between them and humans?"
I asked.In fact, after I said this, I regretted it a little, and felt that I was a little reckless, there should be a lot of strong people who have dealt with demons all their lives in the manor of the Mo family, after I stepped into that manor, if a strong person decided that I was not from the Green Empire, but a descendant of the demon race who didn't know where to run, wouldn't it be terrible Mo Xiang thought about it seriously before saying to me: "Only high-level demons can incarnate into human form, if you want to say the biggest difference!"
It is probably that all high-level demons have long horns on their heads, and the demon horns are the source of their power, and it is precisely because of the horns on their heads that the high-level demons are born with the ability to learn dark magic, and their pupils are mostly dark purple, and they are good at charm and hypnosis, and other places are no different from us humans. ”After a pause, he continued: "The heart of the demon race is much stronger than that of us humans, don't judge those demons by the standard of dealing with humans on the battlefield, often you think they are dead, in fact, they are only seriously injured, you think they should be seriously injured, in fact, they are nothing at all, inexperienced warriors are easy to suffer in this regard during the battle with the demons." ”I found myself very similar to the demons in this regard, but the strength of my body is due to the natural strength of the wolf bloodline in my body."
And if you meet a high-level demon on the battlefield, don't always think about how to kill it, first destroy the horns on his head" When Mo Xiang said this, I couldn't help but reach out and touch the top of my head, making sure that I really didn't have horns.Although he was a little apprehensive in his heart, he still asked quietly: "After the high demon clan loses its horns, is it impossible to cast magic?"
”Mo Xiang patiently explained to me: "Well, what you said is not entirely true, casting dark magic will be affected by some influences, not that it cannot be cast, but that it cannot recover mana" On the outer corridor of the fourth floor of the Tower of Arrogance, Mo Xiang and I talked a lot about the high demons, and then we talked about the multi-faceted war of Angela, and talked about those single-attribute giant crossbow arrows, but I didn't expect Mo Xiang to bring those magic crossbow arrows with armor-piercing attributes to the battlefield and play a role in a battle, which is also something I didn't think.After the Mo family's Constructed Knights settled in the Angela Plane, they did not merge with Prince Charles's legions, but stationed several dangerous passes in a place called the Cuvacia Mountains in the northwest of the plane, with the aim of cutting off the connection between the Nakma legions.This made the Nakma legion that confronted the Royal Knights in a state of isolation, although His Royal Highness Prince Charlie said so, but Mo Xiang felt that it was just cutting off the connection between that side and the Nakma Legion in the northwest of Angela, as for how many Nakma were on other roads, probably even His Highness Charles himself did not know.Unexpectedly, the situation of the many faces of Angela was so corrupted that the Babington family's previous control over the many faces of Angela was almost lost, and only one main city with a portal was left.Talking about those giant crossbow arrows, Mo Xiang seemed very excited, and couldn't stop praising them: "The power of those magic crossbow arrows is really good!"
”When he talked about the plane war in Angelado, his face could not hide his joy, and he said with an excited expression: "This time I encountered a brigade composed of nearly 3,000 Nakma warriors in the area of Kuvachia Mountain in Angelado, fortunately, we made full preparations when we set up camp, and nearly 100 bed crossbows were temporarily installed behind the camp wall, and the Nakma people originally planned to sneak up at night, and after being discovered by our sentry, they directly charged us, but they did not want to be shot by the bed crossbows behind the giant wooden fence of the camp. ”I've bought a lot of Nakma half-body armor, and those black iron armors are so heavy that ordinary crossbows can't pose a threat to these armors, and probably only a powerful weapon like a bed crossbow can shoot Nakma in pieces.I asked Mo Xiang: "In those previous battles, was it not good to arrange some bed crossbows in the camp?"
”"I used the bed crossbow when I fought with the Nakma in the past, this kind of bulky big guy is okay with power, even if it can shoot through the tower shield in the hands of the Nakma striker warriors, it can't pose a lethal threat to these striker warriors, and when the bed crossbow is facing the Nakma warriors, it can only shoot two or three rounds, and those Nakma can rush up with giant crossbow arrows."
Mo Xiang said.This is the fatal flaw of the bed crossbow, the warrior who controls the bed crossbow often lacks the corresponding self-protection ability, and once the enemy on the opposite side rushes up, the bed crossbow will be completely useless.In fact, the Duke of Samoyed still attaches great importance to bed crossbows, otherwise he would not have purchased so many bed crossbows when arranging the defense line of Tanton City.Mo Xiang said: "Once the battle is carried out on the bed crossbow position, it will be very troublesome, this kind of magic weapon is cumbersome and delicate, a bed crossbow can easily be exchanged for a set of primary magic pattern structures, usually the enemy attacking on the opposite side will give priority to destroying the bed crossbow, even if these bed crossbows can cause some casualties to the Nakma people, once the bed crossbow is destroyed by the enemy, it will be a little more than worth the loss for us, and the cost is too expensive."
Therefore, although the legion will be equipped with a certain number of bed crossbows, it will not prepare too much, this thing used to be only powerful when it was erected on the city wall!
”"This time the Nakma attacked the camp, it happened that we replaced the new magic crossbow arrows, and there were traps and barricades in front of the camp, and the giant crossbow arrows with armor-piercing attributes easily pierced the thick armor of the Nakma people, but I didn't expect that the bed crossbow alone repelled the Nakma people three consecutive rounds of charges, shooting more than 500 Nakma warriors."
Listening to Mo Xiang's narration of the battle a few days ago, it was a battle, and the losses of the Mo family legion were very small, at best, they lost some magic crossbow arrows, although these single-attribute magic crossbow arrows were expensive, but in the face of victory, the huge expenses in the course of the battle should be able to make up for it.I'm afraid that the kind of war has a huge investment, but it has suffered repeated defeats, and many small lords who have a knightly order of construction have gone bankrupt because of the defeat in the war.This time, Mo Xiang fought a victory in Angela, and Louis and some friends led the Knights Legion to Angela to help His Royal Highness Prince Charlie, and it seemed that Angela's victory was just around the corner.
