Chapter Eighty-Three: Fighting for the Transmission Array
Extremely determined, no one can stop him.
In an instant, the front row of five Holy Knights were directly cut in half at the waist, shields and all!
The originally flawless defensive formation was suddenly torn open with a bloody gap.
Normally, a mercenary group would collapse immediately when faced with an attack of this level. Because adventurers are not soldiers and cannot be commanded to advance or retreat at will, what is known as a mercenary group is just a group of adventurers who have joined forces.
But Middy, who had once destroyed a Blood Blade base, knew that the Blood Blade Mercenaries would not collapse so easily.
They were originally a sharp knife for killing in the turbulent years, built by the Blood Blade Thief Group, completely established according to military specifications, with various constraints and threats. At least until the reduction of 40% of their personnel would they disperse. Just from this proportion alone, it can be considered an elite force.
And just as Mide had expected, although the front-row Holy Knights were filled with terror in their eyes, they did not retreat but instead gritted their teeth and charged forward. Moreover, they simultaneously began to murmur some unknown incantation. At the moment the incantation was completed, Mide suddenly felt that their levels were rapidly rising!
This feeling was extremely familiar, and immediately reminded Mide of the scene where the three female ghost swordsmen were forcibly leveled up during the previous noble war.
These guys have already gotten in touch with the "Nightmare Hand" of the Delos Empire?
Mi Di's heart suddenly chilled, and his eyes shot out an undisguised murderous intent.
It seems that after this adventure is over, it's necessary to dig three feet underground and pull out all the old mice in the sewers.
But now he didn't have time to linger here.
While blocking the Hundred Man Commander's sudden power surge, Midoriya's speed also suddenly burst forth in an instant. The Extreme Quirk that had been circulating slowly within his body was now gushing through his limbs like a torrent.
The next moment, the black heavenly sword in Mi Di's hand burst out with an extremely sharp aura once again.
The energy didn't crash into the enemy head-on, but instead slipped through the gaps between the tower shields with incredible agility, like a thin cicada wing. The energy burst through the defensive formation in an instant, drilling into its center, and then exploded among a large group of remote professions, like a bloody storm, sweeping up countless lives and blood.
The vanguard was attacked, and the hundred-man squad finally fell into complete disarray at this moment. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Midei had already rushed to the front of their formation, and a holy knight in the front row suddenly felt his upper body sink heavily.
Mi Di had already leapt onto his shoulder, and with a light stroke of the black Heaven Sword in his hand, a very fine blood mark appeared on his neck.
Before the holy knight's head hit the ground, Mi Di jumped again, traversing dozens of meters in mid-air, and landed on the shoulder of a wandering gunman, his long sword lightly slashing once more.
Then comes the third person, the fourth person...
His jumps were completely unpredictable in direction and trajectory, just like a dragonfly touching water, making it impossible to defend against. And because he was among the crowd "above", all kinds of grenades and wild shots and other large-range skills couldn't be used recklessly, otherwise they would hit their own people together, and one shot would be a whole piece.
The hundred-strong team was suddenly silenced.
"Disperse, disperse immediately, everyone keep a distance!" The hundred-man commander finally thought of this clumsy method, but his order had just been issued when it was already too late.
Midi casually glanced at the disheveled captain, stabbed him with his sword, then jumped onto the shoulder of a saint who was in the back, and with a slash of his long sword, he leaped out of the encirclement of the hundred-man squad.
At the same time, the head of the clergyman and that of the centurion also fell silently from their necks, with hot blood gushing out of the severed parts, like two red springs.
They broke through the enemy's formation and killed their commander. This unit that was left behind by Mide had completely collapsed.
Now nothing could stop Midy.
After just a few short breaths, Mi Di had already charged into the Moonlight Temple.
Inside the palace, there were ruins and broken walls everywhere. Many charred corpses with disfigured faces were scattered all over the place like fallen wooden blocks, apparently killed by explosions. And near the central location, two giant magical puppets lay on their backs.
It's clear that the explosion just now was caused by them.
The Blood Blade Mercenary Corps wanted to destroy the transmission array, but perhaps it activated the palace's defense system, or perhaps it was the Mountain Wolf Mercenary Corps' tactics. Two magical puppets launched an attack at a critical moment, causing the explosion to occur prematurely. The Blood Blade Mercenary Corps not only failed to achieve their goal, but also lost a group of ammunition experts.
But at this moment, the preparation for the second explosion is also nearing completion. The pillars on both sides of the palace are piled high with large amounts of explosives, and the same is true for the central formation.
As Middy walked in, those busy ammunition experts not only didn't run away but instead accelerated their work, with a hint of crazy desperation to die together.
Retreat, perhaps it is the best and most rational choice.
After all, Mide, who had experience from his previous life, knew that the way to Wang Ting was not just a transfer array. Even if this place was destroyed, he could still find another one.
But it was precisely because he had the experience of his previous life that Mide couldn't retreat.
Because several teleportation arrays are located in satellite cities that are far apart, retreating would mean wasting at least a week.
Blowing up the transmission array not only stops the adventure progress of other mercenary groups, but also cuts off their own retreat. Daring to do so without hesitation proves that the Blood Blade Mercenary Group either already knew about the existence of the other transmission arrays or had a way to leave the Central Royal Court using special methods.
Either way, it means they have some special intelligence in their hands, even information that the reborn Mide doesn't know.
This will undoubtedly greatly increase the chances of these people obtaining inheritance, and naturally, it will also cut off Midie's possibility of finding inheritance.
So Miti cannot retreat.
He has already fallen behind in intelligence and cannot fall behind again in time.
The importance of Seijyoin's succession to Middy is self-evident and must be obtained at all costs!
In an instant, Mei Di had cast aside all distractions.
His body burst forth like a flood, instantly filling the entire palace and locking down the thirteen enemies in space. The next moment, Midei's wrist shook, and he stabbed out thirteen swords in succession.
A series of invisible phantoms pierced the air in an instant, like a row of straight steel needles shooting out, tearing through the airflow, and bringing up a trail of sparks in the high-temperature friction, filling the entire palace with fiery and dazzling light. Then, a sharp whistling sound echoed through the palace, making the eardrums tremble.
The next moment, a series of dull thuds sounded continuously, and thirteen corpses fell to the ground in a crooked manner.
Whether these Blood Blade ammunition experts were hiding behind obstacles, using magical accessories to form a protective shield, or even clinging to high-explosive bombs, and even if they had already raised their guns ready to detonate, between Middy's flashing sword sparks, they all died.
Pierced through all obstacles with extreme accuracy, dodged all hazardous objects, and then entered their eyebrows, one hit kill.
This is still the first time Mide has used his extreme willpower since the battle with Nightmare, not for "strong", but for "fast".
In an instant, a spark of insight flashed through his mind like lightning.
Is it merely strong? Is it merely sharp? Does extreme also include speed?
Although the battle was not over and the outside was still hot, Midei couldn't help but stop and ponder in his heart.
After all, the "Extreme Intent" was only possessed by the legendary Ghost Swordsman Soderos in his previous life, or it can be said that he was the first to create it. There were no signs of its existence before him, and even Soderos himself had been slowly exploring without any guidance.
There was originally very little intelligence available, and for a half-baked swordsman like Miti, it would be even more impossible to come into contact with anything related to Goku'i.
In this life, since he had grasped the Extreme Way, Midei spent most of his time practicing alone, occasionally discussing with Fina and Alice. However, both girls were from the Magic Department, so it was hard for them to come up with any good suggestions. The only thing Midei could do was to constantly enhance the Extreme Way.
However, in terms of application, he is still just a beginner.
The thirteen swords just now were obviously unrelated to the sharpness of the Extreme Intention itself, but rather a stronger technique.
A technique that allows Midori to further enhance her extreme intent.
Feeling the sensation of just a moment ago, Mide walked out of the palace without making a sound.
The scheduled explosion did not occur, but instead the unassuming young man appeared at the palace gate. The Blood Blade Mercenary Corps immediately understood that their mission to destroy the transmission array had failed.
Fortunately, apart from the hundred-man squad that was beaten to near collapse by Mide, the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps had always held an absolute advantage. Even with the support of Chen Xing, the Mountain Wolf Mercenary Corps could only barely hold the line. Now that the mission had failed, the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps immediately chose to retreat, and they did so in an orderly manner, like a true army, without leaving any weaknesses behind.
Watching the Blood Blade Mercenary Corps slowly leave the battlefield, Mide didn't chase after them. What he needed to do first was guard the transmission array.
Moreover, although the enemy seemed to be advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, as a commander, Midy naturally saw that there were no masters among the blood blades in front of him, and many centurions were also serving as commanders of several teams.
Where have all the real masters gone?
There was no doubt that they had entered the transmission array.
And what Mide had to do was to catch up with them as soon as possible, surpass them, and then seize the throne succession.
However, Norton's first words after the fight ended made Middy's heart skip a beat.
"This teleportation circle has been almost completely destroyed." The future alchemy master said with a serious face after searching around the palace.
Although he was very clear about Medici's desperate attempt to seize the transmission array, black is black and white is white, Norton's tone had no comfort at all, and it sounded extremely concise.
