Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Page 380

However, these knights did not merely spread the word; they actively launched a massacre of villages near Ye Lantier, which was no longer considered a war.

This is a blatant massacre, the act of an aggressor, and the kind of thing the most heinous aggressors would do.

However, despite the villagers' questions, doubts, and even insults, Lundez remained calm. His gaze was still composed as he spoke to Roya, saying, "Judging from your attire, you are probably not an important official of the Kingdom of Ri Yestege, but rather a commoner."

The so-called "civilians" refers to those in the adventurer category. These people are not without loyalty to the country. They mostly travel from country to country, earning commissions. For them, it doesn't matter who the client is.

However, Roya revealed a mocking smile when he heard Lundes speak in this way.

Having read the original story, he knew that these guys in front of him couldn't possibly be knights of the Bahars Empire; their true identities were from the Slane Theocracy.

The reason for impersonating a knight of the Bahars Empire was to impersonate the other party and sow discord between the two sides.

After all, the two countries are now at odds, and with just a little provocation, one side will inevitably explode and a chaotic war will break out. At this time, the Slane Theocracy only needs to sit back and reap the benefits.

Of course, this is only the latter part of the plan; their real goal now is to lure someone out.

That person holds a very important position in this country, and the knights' actions are supported not only by the Slane Theocracy, but also by the country's nobles.

First, you will impersonate knights of the Bahars Empire, appearing in the vicinity of Ye Lantier and causing bloodshed. Then, the kingdom's nobles will use this as a pretext to request the king to send someone to lure that important figure here.

That concludes the details of this operation.

Unfortunately, the plan was only halfway through when something unexpected happened.

The high-level mage who appeared out of nowhere made them feel quite troubled.

Seeing Roya's mocking smile, Belius was very dissatisfied, but given the other party's strength as a third-tier chanter, he dared not say anything too offensive. Even so, he couldn't help but shout, "I am the captain of the elite knights of the Bahars Empire! If you dare to attack me, the Empire will definitely not let you off!"

This is a threat, using the name of the empire to threaten Roya. To ordinary people, the Bahars Empire is indeed a behemoth. If one is not a native of the country, then offending such a powerful force for the sake of a small town is undoubtedly an extremely unwise move.

But Roya is no ordinary person.

To Roya, such a threat seemed utterly ridiculous.

Luo Ya sneered and directly revealed the identities of the two.

"Still pretending? You're quite the actor, aren't you, you lackeys of the Slane Theocracy?"

Roya's words struck everyone like a bolt from the blue, and almost instantly, Lunders and Bellius's expressions froze.

The villagers below the stage erupted in uproar.

Everyone stared at these guys with incredulous looks, an exaggerated smile playing on their lips. It seemed they hadn't expected them to be from the Slane Theocracy.

Lunders, on the other hand, had a completely gloomy face. He glanced at Bellius and cursed him inwardly as an idiot.

Lunders found Bellius's words extremely inappropriate, from every angle.

First of all, the statement itself has a deliberate meaning. Repeatedly emphasizing that he is a knight of the Bahars Empire can easily arouse suspicion in others.

Secondly, why threaten this guy in front of you?

The mages in this world are different from those in the jobless reincarnation world. The magic they master is all instantaneous, which makes a spellcaster who can cast a third-tier spell quite terrifying.

They possess a wide variety of combat methods, far surpassing the fragile mages of the jobless reincarnation world.

If your team doesn't have a strong enough individual to rival the opponent, you shouldn't threaten them at this time.

Well, not only was Luo Ya able to see through her identity, but she also incurred his displeasure.

While Lunds was complaining bitterly, he was also cursing Bellius in his heart.

Why should we let this idiot be our team leader?

Lunders was very dissatisfied with the higher-ups who made this decision. He thought it was fine if this clueless kid was just trying to get seniority, but instead, the power to command the team was handed over to him in such a childish way.

However, Roya revealed more than just that. He paced back and forth slowly, saying, "I already know all your information, but judging from your combat strength, you're probably still lacking the power to kill 'that one,' right? If I'm not mistaken, you probably have other experts behind you."

Chapter 396 Zawaludo!

Roya didn't give the other party a chance to deny it, but continued on his own: "Is it the Sunlight Scripture, one of the six sacred scriptures, directly under the priests of the Slane Theocracy?"

Although it is a question, it conveys a sense of certainty.

The Six Colored Holy Scriptures of the Slane Theocracy are a terrifying group of beings.

They each have their own duties, expertise, and roles. Their powers and responsibilities are roughly the same, and they are responsible for different areas of work within the Slane Church. However, one thing is undeniable: they all possess a terrifying power.

Among them, the most famous is the Black Scripture, the strongest of the six-colored scriptures.

The world's assessment of the Dark Scripture is that it is terrifyingly powerful.

It is said that every member of the Dark Codex is a figure who has stepped into the realm of heroes.

Although the Heroic Realm is just a group of fifth-tier individuals, in this world, their combat power is already considered that of a powerful and influential figure.

While the Sunlight Codex isn't as terrifying as the Dark Codex, its power isn't far behind.

They are few in number; even including the reserve members, the total number is less than one hundred. To join the Sunlight Scripture, one must at least be able to use third-order magic, which is the highest level of magic that ordinary magic chanters can learn.

The purpose of forming such a team was solely to annihilate the demi-human villages and carry out some shady operations.

These guys in front of us are the bait we've thrown out; there's a killer move coming up. Of course, the killer move isn't meant for the villagers, but for the one who's about to take the bait.

He is known as the strongest warrior by the kingdom and its neighboring countries.

"What are you saying? I don't understand anything."

At this moment, the two men's faces could no longer be described as ashen; there was no color in their faces at all, and even the hand holding the sword was trembling. Their expressions were extremely interesting.

Roya shrugged and casually said, "Well, it doesn't matter if you don't want to admit it." As he said this, the corners of Roya's mouth curled up with a hint of mockery. He reached out, and magic power began to gather again, forming an arc of lightning that attacked one of the knights in the group.

These were not the main force; their mission was merely to slaughter some defenseless villagers. They never expected that a powerful figure like Roya would suddenly appear.

The group of people struck by lightning screamed in agony as they collapsed to the ground, lifeless. The noise was chaotic, and the once well-trained team quickly descended into utter disarray.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless and that the entire army would be wiped out sooner or later, Lunders gritted his teeth. Instead of retreating, he roared at the crowd, "Everyone, follow me! Tear this guy to pieces! He's just one person. Even if he's a high-level magic caster, he can't be that strong! After we complete this mission, we'll get what we want. Even a promotion or a noble title is possible!"

This sentence acted like a stimulant, boosting the morale of the soldiers who had been feeling down.

The five-man squads began charging towards Roya's position, with archers at the rear drawing their bows to provide cover for the soldiers in front. Roya watched the charge with interest, picked his ear, and scoffed, "Oh? Instead of running away, you're coming towards me?"

"But, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no!"

No matter how fast the Knight's charge is, it can never be faster than the attack speed of a Substitute Magic.

The lightning strike was incredibly fast. With a flick of his finger, Roya unleashed an arc of lightning. The only thing that could restrain Roya was his mana bar.

Unfortunately, Roya's mana bar was already full, in a perpetual motion machine state, so how could it possibly run out?

Lightning bolts struck incessantly. With a flick of his ten fingers, Luo Ya unleashed ten bolts of lightning. These bolts were impossible for the ordinary soldiers to dodge; being struck meant certain death.

As for the arrows that were shot, Roya extended his index finger and pointed forward, saying, "Zawarudo!"

P.S.: (I added an image in case readers don't feel connected to the story)

The next moment, Roya's figure disappeared from the spot and reappeared, but he was already standing ten paces away, while the archers who had shot the arrows had already had their throats pierced by arrows.

Lunders' face twitched. He looked at Roya in disbelief. Even Lunders couldn't have caught Roya's series of movements with the naked eye.

Looking at the shocked expressions on these guys' faces, Roya felt extremely pleased.

If the battle weren't so boring, he could have added the "I'm so high" meme.

Unfortunately, these guys are all small fry.

Lundes's expression at this moment could only be described as despair. A large group of people rushed up, but less than half of them returned, which made his heart sink.

An atmosphere of despair began to permeate everyone's hearts. Under the influence of this atmosphere, one of the nobles next to them could no longer bear the pressure and began to roar at Lundes: "Damn it, look what you've done! You stupid commander who sent your soldiers to their deaths, what kind of person are you?"

Lunders' face was ashen, his right fist clenched. Apart from the guy in front of him, all the soldiers in the room could criticize him, even insult him, and he could accept it.

But what is this guy in front of me?

How dare this clown-like individual criticize himself? Who does he think he is?

Belius, seemingly oblivious to Lunders's livid face, continued his outburst: "Foolish! You should have just let these soldiers cover my retreat. Wouldn't it have been better to run away sooner? You were clearly outmatched, yet you still went in to die. What kind of idiot are you? You're a pig-brain! You moron!"

Faced with Bellius's accusation, Lunders glared angrily and shouted, "What are you saying? You're sending them to their deaths to cover your escape? What a joke!"

Faced with this question, Belius remained indifferent and continued in a mocking tone, "What? This way, these commoners can still make the last bit of value and fight for a chance to live for me. Isn't that better than sending them to their meaningless deaths like this?"

The pent-up anger finally reached its limit. Lunds cursed "Damn it!" and clenched his fists tightly, his eyes looking as if he wanted to tear the young man in front of him to pieces.

Lundes was undoubtedly a proud and arrogant man, and his abilities were also outstanding. Otherwise, he would not have risen to the position of Knight Commander at such a young age. If it weren't for this sudden parachute arrival, he would be the one commanding the army.

Unlike Belius, who treated his men as tools to be used and discarded, Lunders genuinely treated his men as his own, and would feel heartbroken for a long time if one of them died.

He naturally felt guilty for losing so many brothers because of his own choices.

However, upon hearing Bellius's words, his so-called guilt transformed into anger.

Both fists were already raised above his head, ready to smash down on the young man's face in the next moment. The young man was not good at fighting, and he was no match for Lundes. Seeing the other party go berserk, he subconsciously took a few steps back. He was also startled by Lundes' appearance. Perhaps in his opinion, the other party would not dare to fight him.

But the fist hovering in mid-air was a real punch. In his panic, he invoked his backing and yelled at Lunds, "What do you think you're doing? Do you know who's behind me? You dare to touch me!"

Lundes' raised hand hovered in mid-air. Seeing that there was a chance, Bellius quickly increased his pressure and said, "Five hundred, five hundred gold coins. As long as you let me live, these five hundred gold coins are yours. I won't pursue the stupid things you've done."

It would have been better if this hadn't been mentioned, because the mention of it reignited Lundez's anger. This time, without the slightest hesitation, he slammed his fist into Belius's nose, knocking Belius off his horse and onto the ground.

Roya watched this scene with great interest. The quarrel and infighting between the two naturally caught Roya's eye. Of course, Roya would not let the others escape. The next moment, Roya's figure appeared in the path the knights were preparing to take.

Luo Ya raised his hand again. Everyone gritted their teeth. If it was another lightning strike, they could only take a gamble and hope that they would be lucky enough not to be the target of the lightning.
