Blue Sword

The Northern Horn Army soon crossed most of Sicily and followed the guidance to the vicinity of the Etna Mountains.

"This is Etna," one of the Norman knights said. "The land around Mount Etna is famous for its fertile land. It is said that the air and water here contain magic, and the crop yield is higher than other places."

"It's because of the volcanic ash." Robert said. "Every eruption of the volcano will bring out the melted wizard's stone from the mantle layer, thus forming a spiritual environment slightly higher than the magic tide."

"Will casting a spell in this environment be more powerful than normal?" William asked thoughtfully.

"No." The Norman knight replied, "It's just that after you stop casting spells, your spiritual recovery will be slightly faster."

"By the way." Robert suddenly asked, "Is Mount Etna erupting recently?"

"This volcano was very active before." The Norman Knight replied, "But it has not erupted in the past half month. It probably entered a dormant period."

"Hmm." Robert pondered.

A certain thought flashed through his mind: Could it be that the Cangqing Sword led them here to cause some volcanic eruption and then wipe them all out?

However, this idea was so incredible that Robert himself burst into laughter.

Not to mention whether the Cangqing Sword has the ability to cause a volcano to erupt, even if it does, the amount of spiritual energy required to mobilize such a large volcano to erupt is absolutely incredible. Even demigods may not have that ability.

On the other hand, if any demigod had such power, there would be no need to deliberately lure them to the volcano. A few days ago, didn't William lead the fleet to confront the ghost fleet of the Southern Continent in the Tyrrhenian Sea?

As long as you follow the fleet all the way, and then set off a tsunami when the two fleets are fighting each other, everyone except William will probably be wiped out. The spirituality required to set off a large tsunami is probably only 10% of the amount of magma of the same quality. Less than one.

After all, it goes without saying which one is heavier, water or lava.

In the previous game world, players would call this the "limitation of NPC templates", which means that NPCs may be very smart, so smart that they can even crush players in political schemes, but they will never think of those things that only players can do. The sexy operation that comes to mind.

For example, if you want to enter an area blocked by an enchantment, you choose to drill a hole underground; another example is to accept a high-priced intelligence search task from an NPC, then turn around and contract the task to other players at a lower price, and take advantage of it yourself, etc. . These wild and unconstrained operations sometimes make people wonder how long these players' brains are.

In short, Robert, having eliminated this suspicion, followed William's Northern Horn Army and began to march towards Mount Etna.

According to William's tracking instructions, the other party should be on the other side of Mount Etna. However, when everyone walked halfway along the mountain road, they saw two demigods standing in the middle of the mountain road with their hands behind their hands. Ask stood behind him with a respectful expression, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist with one hand.

"Robert." William said without hesitation, "You take half of the people to take a detour and continue to the location of the artifact. I will lead the other half to hold them back here."

"Okay." Robert took the wolf skull from his hand, then ordered half of the Haskar guards and left with all the knights under their command.

"The Normans actually divided their forces..." Shirley said in surprise as she looked at the formation changes in the distance below.

She originally thought that since her two demigods were here, the other party should also send two demigods over, otherwise they would not be able to defeat them.

However, Aske said before that the other party would divide their forces... Now it seems that his statement has indeed been confirmed.

"The reason is very simple." Ask said with a smile, "We know that there are only two demigods here, but the other party doesn't know: they will guess the worse possibility."

"If there are still demigods on the back of the mountain, then letting the Northern Horn go alone will definitely only be massacred by the demigods. Therefore, when the other party divides its troops, it will definitely let at least one demigod take charge of the leadership to ensure the safety of the army. .”

"One demigod is gone, how can the remaining one be our opponent?" Shirley's reason is also very straightforward. If you send your companions away to protect the army, then you can't beat us one-on-one. .

"There is no need to defeat us," Ask replied, "We just need to contain us. After all, their most important goal in this trip is to regain the artifact."

"Then they won't care about this kid?" Shirley pointed at Roger, who was tied tightly next to him.

"The Otterwell family can still distinguish between the value of the heir and the artifact." Asker smiled and said, "What's more, this person's prestige in the family has also dropped a lot after this battle. Even if we let him go When he goes back, it's still unclear whether he can continue to be the heir."

Roger:…………

In this case, you should let me go!

"So how do we distribute the enemies here?" Derek asked, pointing to the enemies charging up menacingly below.

"Take care of the two of you to entangle the demigod William." Ask said, "Leave the rest to me."

He jumped down the mountain road, suddenly changed speed and turned strangely in the air, avoided William's attack, and fell towards the Northern Horn Army behind him.

"When did he copy your ability?" Derek recognized Asker's unaided change of direction in the air, which was Shirley's "speed control".

"Just now." Shirley shrugged and also jumped down.

She threw a few flying knives in the air, and then those flying knives seemed to be connected with invisible threads, attacking William from different directions, and the speed almost instantly left the range that the naked eye could capture.

William's face sank like water, and the crimson field spread under his feet, turning everything around him into rust-like debris. The flying knife shot into the red field and immediately turned into rust, disintegrating under the huge speed and air resistance.

Sure enough... Shirley was not surprised by this result.

In the tactical design process beforehand, according to Asker, the opponent's law skills can pollute all objects into the form of "steel" or "rust". Steel is hard, while the form of rust is loose, so this thing The essence of manipulation is to change the "hardness" of an object.

Shirley's speed law can manipulate the speed of objects, essentially using kinetic energy to output. When facing William, the biggest problem is that once the object is rusted, it will be peeled off by air resistance when flying at high speed, causing the kinetic energy to be dispersed.

Therefore, Asker's suggestion is to use a larger object to attack as much as possible, so that even if it is rusted, the air resistance will be peeled off from the outermost part, and the kinetic energy inside can be locked for a longer time.

This truth was completely understood when Shirley saw the effect of William's law with her own eyes. However, Shirley was still surprised and amazed that Ask could accurately predict this before the war.
