The wizard starts by trimming the donkey's hooves

Ryan did not consider transforming into the second-stage dragon general form to fight the enemy.

But the problem is that although the absolute strength and defense after the transformation will be greatly improved, the movement speed will not be improved much.

In fact, due to the large body, the movement in a small range is not as flexible as the human form.

This is also a common problem after the body becomes huge.

But Lambert on the opposite side has an extremely fast movement speed and an unparalleled sword speed. He is a top swordsman who can grasp the opponent's weaknesses.

Therefore, in this case, it is unwise to use transformation to fight Lambert.

It is very likely that the opponent will catch the flaw.

Of course, this does not mean that Ryan cannot use transformation to fight the enemy.

Facing Lambert's magnificent peak attack, Ryan's right arm muscles suddenly swelled more than twice, and dragon scales appeared on his skin. This partial body dragonization is a new ability he has after his blood concentration reaches "high".

"Dang!!!"

Ryan's huge right arm held the sword horizontally in front of him, and he caught Lambert's powerful killing move with just one hand.

At this moment, Lambert, who was in a jumping and slashing posture in the air, had his eyes wide open, his mouth wide open in a roar, and his muscles tensed, as if he had released his faith, force and strength in this attack.

Instantly, Ryan felt a surge of power coming from the sword, like a tide, rushing towards him layer by layer.

But Ryan remained motionless, but his body trembled slightly. This was not the kind of trembling that could not be supported, but more like a kind of force.

It seemed that the huge force was transmitted to the ground in some way.

The ground under Ryan suddenly sank into a bowl shape, and the ground around his feet cracked like a spider web and extended outward.

But the next second, Ryan's counterattack arrived!

"Bang!!!"

Ryan's left fist, which had been empty all along, struck out like lightning, and immediately made a dent as big as a bowl in Lambert's abdomen, and a bulge on his back. The sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand, and the whole person was immediately broken in half and flew backwards.

Imperial capital Tamriel.

In the command hall on the second floor of the Astrologer Platform.

"Marshal Alfred, this Lambert is quite powerful. Is it possible to ask Lord Ryan to show mercy? Perhaps, he can contribute to the subsequent encirclement and suppression mission."

At this time, the old army general named Gobert coughed and said.

"General Gobert, how can we ensure that the other party will not suddenly trip Lord Ryan or even use a black hand in the subsequent encirclement and suppression battle?" Augustus frowned and retorted when he heard it.

You didn't say it earlier, and now that you see Lambert is at a disadvantage, it's hard not to doubt the motive of making this suggestion.

"Ahem, General Augustus, Lambert's background is quite clear. He is the eldest disciple of the Empire's Guardian Tide Sword Saint Leon. From this perspective, I think he should have no reason to betray the Empire."

"Besides, the conflict between him and Lord Ryan is just an internal conflict within the Empire, isn't it?"

Hearing the 'internal conflict within the Empire', General Augustus swallowed back what he was going to say.

From a certain perspective, this sentence is very politically correct.

When facing foreign enemies, we should unite all the forces that can be united.

However, the most important point of this matter is to consult the person involved-Ryan.

Competitions and duels are sacred things.

The winner has absolute rights.

This is why the command hall could not stop it at the beginning.

"Tatia, contact Baldwin and ask him to talk to Lord Ryan at the right time to see if he is willing to give Lambert a chance." Marshal Alfred thought for a moment and said to Tatia on the side.

At this moment, Ryan was still fighting with Lambert, so it was not suitable for contact. Therefore, Alfred asked Tatia to contact Baldwin who was also at the scene.

"Yes, Marshal."

At the same time.

In the secret realm of Dragon Valley, Lambert's situation was not good since Ryan took over Lambert's sword shadow clone slash.

"Crackle!"

There was a sound of bones breaking!

After Lambert's sword was blocked, Ryan's shoulder hit his chest with a move similar to the Iron Mountain Lean, and he flew backwards like a cannonball.

Ryan's figure flashed, and just when he was about to completely get rid of Lambert, suddenly, Baldwin, the captain of the army next to him, shouted: "Have mercy, Sir Ryan."

This made Ryan pause, and he looked at Baldwin in confusion.

Baldwin walked up quickly and whispered a few words in Ryan's ear.

"Sir Ryan, the command hall said that your opinion will prevail in the end."

Baldwin did not whisper the last sentence deliberately, but the two Ereda women beside him heard it clearly.

Ryan looked at Lambert, who was lying on the ground and vomiting blood, and thought, 'I'm afraid he can't help in this state, right? '

But Ryan thought about it and thought that since Marshal Alfred had spoken, he had to give him a face.

"Sir Lambert, if you are willing to help the empire complete an important task, then the competition can end here."

"Who wants to die when they can live? Lord Ryan, I agree!" Lambert said without hesitation while vomiting blood.

"Besides, this matter has reached this point, and I have completely cleared the matter with the Drum family."

"Don't you want to ask what the mission is?"

"No need, I have confidence in Lord Ryan!"

Ryan couldn't help but smile when he heard Lambert's words. I didn't realize that this Lambert was quite good at talking.

After thinking about it, Ryan turned to Erida and said, "Erida, you treat him. Time is a bit tight. I'll go there first, and you can come later."

"Okay, Lord Ryan." Erida nodded, of course.

Although Erida is a shadow wizard, he also masters witchcraft like "dark treatment", which can quickly recover from injuries. Of course, the side effects are not small.

Just as Ryan rushed to the meeting point, he saw a sturdy man wearing a gorgeous white wizard robe with gold edges and holding a cane with a spherical blue gem on the top, waiting here.

He had a dignified face, as if he had been in a high position for a long time. At this moment, he was frowning and looking at the north, as if he was in a trance.

In less than two minutes, another person arrived.

This man looked to be in his early forties, wearing a mithril-threaded sky-blue wizard robe, and holding a strange cane with three prismatic crystals floating on the top.

The wind energy particle fluctuations emitted by the three crystals above the cane were extremely significant.

"Agrippa, you are on time." The man with the blue gem cane said without turning his head.

"Sir Nick, long time no see." The man in the sky-blue wizard robe did not care and said with a smile.

This Sir Nick is a legendary peak strongman in the internal guard force, and the internal guard force is responsible for guarding the palace, and is the most arrogant.

If it weren't for the fact that the location of this mission was very special, it was the secret realm of Dragon Valley, the internal security forces would not have sent anyone to participate.

"Hey, Sir Nick, where are your two team members?" At this time, Agrippa looked around and said with a little surprise.

His team members were infected with the Soul Devouring Plague, and their strength was greatly reduced. Bringing them to fight against the incarnation of the goddess of the sea was a suicide mission, but Nick's internal security team only had him.

"I asked them to kill the adolescent dragons infected by the void beast. Facing the incarnation of the god, their strength is still a little lacking." As he spoke, Captain Nick finally turned around.

Agrippa thought for a while, then smiled and nodded, saying: "Sir Nick, you have considered it very carefully. Indeed, with the opponent's strength, ordinary team members are afraid that it will be difficult to play any role."

Agrippa actually agreed with this in his heart.

Nick and his strength are on par.

In comparison, the strength of the team members is slightly inferior.

If it is a general mission, having two more members with late legendary strength is a help, but it is different when facing the incarnation of the gods.

If the strength is not at the extreme level of the legend, I am afraid that I can't take a single move.

Even he, when he knew that he was facing the incarnation of the goddess of the underworld, did not have much confidence in his heart.

After all, the other party is a god!

"I heard that there is another person, who is also your sword holder? Why hasn't he come yet?" Nick frowned and asked.

"Sir Nick, the coming Sir Ryan has been very famous in the imperial capital recently. However, although both I and Ryan are sword holders, I have not seen him yet." Agrippa said so.

When Nick heard it, he immediately understood what Agrippa meant.

The other party said that although he and Ryan belonged to the same sword holder system, they were not familiar with each other.

"It will be a tough battle later. How do you think we should fight?" Nick smiled and asked.

At their level, the command hall will not intervene in the specific battle arrangements, and they will discuss them on their own.

Unless there is a stalemate, the command hall will be responsible for coordination, but it will only point out who is in charge, and will not go into the specific execution of the battle.

"Oh? Sir Nick, do you have a plan?" Agrippa did not answer directly, but smiled and asked back.

"It would be best if someone can attract the attention of that person directly, so that our crystallization killer move can be used." Nick said.

"That's right." Agrippa immediately understood what Nick meant, nodded, and said.

At this time, Nick glanced at the thin slice and said, "This Sir Ryan is already one minute late. I think latecomers should take more responsibility. What do you think, Sir Agrippa?"

Because Agrippa's words just now were very clear, and he was not familiar with Ryan, so Nick was very sure that the other party would not object to his opinion.

Fighting with the incarnation of the gods is very dangerous.

If someone can attract the firepower directly, it will naturally be much safer.

"Well, in principle, I agree with Mr. Nick. However, I think I should clarify this matter with Mr. Ryan before the battle." Agrippa hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Although Ryan has been very famous in the imperial capital recently, in Agrippa's eyes, Ryan's strength should be inferior to that of the old legendary strongman Nick.

Speaking of Ryan, Ryan is here.

"Sorry, you two, I'm a little late for two minutes." At this time, Ryan's voice came from a distance.

But before he finished speaking, his tall figure suddenly arrived, almost faster than the sound.

Huh? The strength is good.

This scene was naturally seen by Nick and Agrippa, and this idea came to both of them.

"Sir Ren, you are late. You must know that being late is a taboo during a mission." Nick said with a solemn expression.

"Oh? Who are you?" Renn raised his eyebrows, looked at the other person, and said.

"Nick, belongs to the inner guard."

"What does Captain Nick mean?"

"I feel that I should apologize as a latecomer. In the subsequent battle, Lord Ren, you should shoulder more responsibilities, such as attracting that person's attention during the battle."

After hearing these words, Ren immediately understood why the other party wanted to blame him for being late.

The original purpose was here.

In fact, when receiving this mission request from Marshal Alfred, Renn instinctively felt that due to what happened last time, Hela, the goddess of the underworld, would definitely make him her main target once she saw him.

In other words, without any tactical arrangements or discussions, he would naturally attract firepower, and at the same time, he had already been mentally prepared for this.

But the problem was that the words of Captain Nick in front of him made him uncomfortable.

He can provoke the matter of attracting firepower, but only if he takes the initiative.

"I don't agree." Renn shook his head and said.

"Didn't the command hall tell you that we asked you to come here to cooperate with us? You are disobeying the order!" Nick's face became solemn, and a majestic wave of mental power pressed towards Ren.

"Sorry, the task given to me by the command hall is not to cooperate, but to support."

"What difference does it make?" Agrippa asked beside him.

"Of course there is a difference. Cooperation has priority, but support does not." Ren said.

"Well, Lord Ren, now is not the time for conflicts. The three of us are fighting against the incarnation of the goddess of the sea. We should work together." Agrippa acted as a peacemaker and said.

"Once the battle starts, we must have a strategy, such as who attracts the opponent's attention, who attacks, and who restricts it. Mr. Ren, what do you think?"

"Among the three of us, my crystallized ultimate move is very powerful. I believe it should be able to cause some damage to that one. As for Captain Nick, he is good at controlling the field and can create many opportunities for us to attack."

"And Sir Ren, I admire your illustrious record very much. Judging from the record, you have hardly suffered any serious injuries in the battle, which shows that you are very good at defense."

"That's why Captain Nick proposed, hoping that you can attract the other party's attention."

When the other party said these words, he was smiling and seemed polite.

"Of course, if Sir Ren has better suggestions, you can put them forward and we will discuss them together." Finally, Agrippa said.

After thinking for a while, Ren nodded and said:

"Okay! In that case, Your Excellency Agrippa, then it's up to me to attract the other party's attention."

"However, I cannot guarantee that the other party's attention will always be on me."

As soon as Ren finished speaking, both of their eyes flashed with joy.

"Of course, Sir Ren, just do your best." Agrippa nodded quickly and smiled.

But in his mind, he was thinking, 'Sure enough, he is a young man. After a few nice words, he took the initiative to start this job. ’

Nick on the side, although his face was still solemn, was actually smiling in his heart.

He also felt that Renne was still too young.

When he and Agrippa were at each other's throats, in just a few words, Renn took the initiative to take on the most dangerous job.

But what the two of them didn't know was that Renne had been aware of the vague suspicion between the two of them since Nick proposed letting him attract firepower.

Because if they really regard him as a member of the team, the two of them will say one or two words, such as, "What will I do when you can't do it?" or, "If you really can't stand it, just retreat." Make sure you are safe first' and so on.

But there were not even one of these words.

This is not a team that works together.

As for why Ren agreed?

First, because the siege of Hela, the goddess of the sea of ​​​​underworld, is very important, the Imperial City Astromancer Platform will definitely focus on it.

In this case, it is important to stand on the moral high ground.

When he agreed, it showed his attitude.

By then, if something unexpected happens, he has nothing to blame.

The second reason is that attracting firepower is actually a matter of great freedom.

After all, attracting 90% of the attack is attracting firepower, but isn’t it 80% or 70%?

Since three people are fighting together, in fact, as long as he attracts more than 40% of the firepower, it basically meets the standard.

More than half, no one could blame him.

At this time, a yellow signal flare appeared in the distant sky.

Seeing this scene, Nick turned around and nodded slightly to the two of them, saying: "Captain Agrippa, Lord Ren, let's go! That one is already here."

The group of three people immediately flashed and hurried towards the direction of the signal flare.

Since the other party is a god, even if it is an incarnation, it cannot be tracked. We can only determine the approximate location of the other party.

Therefore, the command hall arranged for other executives to search nearby. Once traces of Hela, the goddess of the sea of ​​​​the underworld, were found, they would immediately launch signal flares to indicate the location.

As the three of them quickly moved towards the target point, they saw dozens of ferocious species of various shapes, as if they were frightened by something, rushing out of the forest like crazy, just rushing towards them.

And there were more birds of prey and strange insects, also fleeing in all directions.

Of course, these did not form any obstacles for Ryan and the other two.

I saw a spiral of lightning flashing on Nick's body, and a giant ferocious species that looked like a wild boar fell to the ground with convulsions.

This made Ryan's eyes flash with a hint of light.

It seems that what Agrippa said just now, that Nick is good at controlling the situation and has the opportunity to restrict the goddess of the underworld sea, is not completely bragging.

Agrippa was surrounded by green airflow, which was different from the effect of "Swift Wind" that only lingered on the legs. Ryan knew that the other party was the third-level wind magic "Whirlwind Barrier".

I saw a ferocious species in the shape of a velociraptor rushing in front of Agrippa and immediately planned to pounce on it.

But the next second, the opponent's strong figure of more than three meters tall was caught by the green airflow and fell to the side involuntarily. At the same time, there were several long and deep wounds on the opponent's body.

Immediately, blood spurted out from the wound.

This whirlwind barrier is a rare attack and defense magic in the wind magic. It can not only deflect the enemy's attack, but also kill the enemy.

In the green airflow lingering around the body, there are actually dense and tiny wind blades that are difficult to detect with the naked eye.

In other words, once the enemy hits this whirlwind barrier, it will be quickly cut by the tiny wind blades.

While Ryan was observing the two, Nick and Agrippa were naturally observing Ryan.

However, they were even more surprised.

Because Ryan suddenly disappeared in a flash when he encountered a ferocious species or a bird of prey, but in fact, Ryan had bypassed the opponent.

With the perception of the two, they could naturally perceive how Ryan did it.

Simply put, Ryan relied on the instantaneous speed change of movement to easily avoid all the violent species rushing towards him as if strolling in the garden.

Nick glanced at Ryan and thought to himself.

If it weren't for the metal shield lingering on his body, the other party would look like a title knight, not a third-level crystal wizard at all.

Passing through a forest, the scene in front was clearly visible.

A beautiful black-robed girl familiar to Ryan was standing in the center with her back to them, and on the ground around them, there were three imperial personnel who were obviously breathing out more than breathing in.

Two of them Ryan was a little familiar with, and they were the people who participated in the secret realm re-examination together.

As for the other one, Ryan had never seen it, but the other party had a similar temperament to Nick, and should be an internal security personnel.

"Quide!" Nick exclaimed.

Sure enough, as Ryan guessed, one of them was Nick's team member.

"Three more are here." Hela turned slowly and said.

"Huh? I didn't expect you to come here on your own initiative." Turning around, Hela's beautiful eyes stared at Ryan and said.

"Shouldn't I come?" Ryan smiled.

"If you come here on your own initiative, I can promise you that you will die happily." A smile appeared on Hela's beautiful face.

She didn't mean to seduce him, but the three people present all felt seduce.

As for the words of the goddess of the underworld, Ryan naturally understood what she meant.

But Nick and Agrippa didn't understand.

But in the eyes of the two, this is not important.

The important thing is that Ryan attracted the attention of the goddess of the underworld as soon as he appeared, which is obviously a good thing!

Because it means that the first step of the tactic has been completed.

For these two, if they can complete the task smoothly, it would be the best, but if not, they will evacuate as soon as possible to ensure their own safety.

This is also the reason why they let Ryan attract attention.

The reason is simple. If you become the focus of an incarnation of a god, then the difficulty of escaping will be hell-level.

Nick and Agrippa looked at each other, and quickly separated, one on the left and one on the right, and came to the back of the left and right sides of the goddess of the underworld.

If you look down from above, you can see that Ryan, Nick and Agrippa are standing in a triangle, surrounding the goddess of the underworld Hela in the middle.
