The Heavenly Jewel Change
Chapter 79: The Determining Arrow (3)
Bai Jiu gave a cold hmph. "Omong empty, if it is Zhou Shui Niu, do you really think that you can escape with your life? Not just you, even I would lose my life there. Besides, I also got the news the day before yesterday that Zhou Shui Niu is still in Heavenly Bow City. How else would I go about this plan. ”
The Intermediate Level Zun 1 Physique Gem Master also realized his mistake back then. "Good! Although the power of the arrow was strong, the actual destructive power was not enough. If it was fired by Zhou Shui Niu, it should have taken my life there and then. Could it…"
Bai Jiu nodded, “That's right, other than Shangguan Bing'er, it seems that the Celestial Empire has another Celestial Gem Master in their army, but its cultivation level should not be high, either, most similar to Shangguan Bing'er with two pair of gems. His partner Heavenly Jewel should be of the attributes of Darkness and Strength, just like Zhou Shui Niu. If it wasn't for him, Silent Arrows I could have killed Shangguan Binger at first. Let's retreat and return to our base to plan further. It seems like at this time, I might need to beg my teacher to act. I definitely must not let the Heavenly Bow Empire obtain two more Heavenly Jewel Masters. Xiao Yeye, just a moment ago, you said that that person vanished while avoiding my Silent Arrow? ”
The subordinate that followed Bai Jiu around was the Elemental Jewel Fire Attribute Master Luo Xiaoye 2 Xiaoye was her personal servant since childhood, and grew up together with her, and also doubled as her personal bodyguard.
"Yes! Your Majesty, I think I saw him disappear for a moment. Otherwise, how could he possibly avoid your Silent Arrow so suddenly! ”
"Do you see it clearly?" Bai Jiu's brows furrowed.
Luo Xiaoye muttered, "Maybe it's not too obvious."
Bai Jiu sweatedropped 3 and said: "You fool, if you don't see clearly, then why are you reporting it!"
Luo Xiaoye blinked and said, "But ..you also don't see clearly, right?"
"Xiao Yeye——"
"Your Majesty, we must retreat quickly." This Luo Xiaoye might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but she was not stupid at all.
"I'll deal with you when we get back."
…
About an hour later, Shangguan Binger finally led the troops to reach the military base on the front lines.
On the border of the Sky Bow Empire and the Kalise Empire, there was a large patch of mountains, hills, swamps and other complicated terrain, completely cutting the two countries off from each other. The military strength of the Sky Bow Empire consisted only of the Five Regiments, of which one was stationed in the Heaven Bow City as a guard, one was stationed to guard the Empire's eastern border, one was stationed to guard the Empire's eastern border, and three regiments are stationed here on the Kalise border, guarding an important pass between the two countries. Due to the complexity of the terrain, both sides rarely had any form of large-scale war, but there was always a constant small battle. The most commonly used forms of fighting are deploying small forces to harass the opposing side. Having a war between two countries actually based on guerrilla warfare, it was truly a rather unique phenomenon.
The camp covered over ten square miles where three Regiments totaling over 30,000 were stationed. With their tent under the open sky, it felt as if there was a faint killing aura in the atmosphere, which could cause fear in someone unfamiliar with the place.
The number of casualties from the previous battle had been calculated, and more than seventy soldiers were killed, 40 were seriously injured, and over a hundred were lightly wounded after the attack by the enemy Jewel Master. That's a very scary number! After all, the enemy ambush party only numbered 13 people, including the two hidden members, there were only a total of 15 people ambushing them. From the beginning of the fight to the end, it was only 15 minutes. Moreover, their target was really only Shangguan Binger, yet they still suffered the loss of so many trained soldiers. From this battle, you can actually see the tyrannical killing power of the Jewel Masters on the battlefield.
When their troops entered the Fifth Regiment camp site, they parted ways and returned to their respective Battalions. Shangguan Binger went to report to their Regiment Commander, while the Third Battalion was temporarily commanded by Xiao Ru Se to return to their camp.
In the Third Battalion, Xiao Ru Se's actual authority actually surpassed Shangguan Bing's. Other than Company Leader Mao Li who was Shangguan Bing's closest subordinate, most of the other Company Leaders in the Battalion would follow in his footsteps.
Xiao Ru Se had calmly and quickly finished organizing the three Company troops, and he had also arranged a private tent for Zhou Weiqing, which was located right beside Shangguan Binger's tent.
“Wei small, you should go and rest first. With your status as the Squad Leader and Personal Aide of the Battalion Commander, you do not need to attend training and training. As long as you practice archery when you are free, with your other skills, you should be fine. By the way, it has been gone for so long, I better go back and check out the situation of the entire Battalion. ”
Zhou Weiqing nodded and said, "Big sister, go ahead, I will cultivate by myself."
Xiao Ru Se left, and Zhou Weiqing also entered his own tent. It was an individual tent; after all Xiao Ru Se would take good care of his younger brother. It was usually a tent that was only assigned to an up-ranked Company Leader officer. The whole tent is made of tanned cowhide, not only blocking the effects of the weather, but also has excellent thermal insulation. With an area of almost 20 square meters, this place is also full of many daily necessities, and is much better when compared to the various small tents in the campground.
By doing so, Xiao Ru Se was actually not exaggerating. After all, it was not only Zhou Weiqing Marshal's only son, Zhou Shuiniu, just the status of a Celestial Gem Master alone would mean that staying in such a tent was already an injustice to him. Of course, that was usually only the case if he announced his status.
Zhou Weiqing put down the equipment he had brought along, and flopped onto the bed. However, he did not have the mood to rest at the moment, and the image of the previous fight flashed through his mind nonstop as he tried to process it.
Without a doubt, his actual combat experience was simply too inadequate. Furthermore, the use of Heavenly Energy was also extremely inefficient. When he had shot out that last arrow, he had completely exhausted all of his Heavenly Energy. He had so many Skills stored in his Elemental Jewel, yet when he wanted to fight at his full strength, he could not even use them all once.
The thing that left the deepest impression for him was the last moment when the six opposing Physique Gem Masters had surrounded Shangguan Binger, restricting his movements, and did just that at the moment when two of their leader's war leaders hit him. Such coordination in that single example was so beautiful. It made Zhou Weiqing understand that even the Jewel Masters needed to coordinate. If not for the fact that Shangguan Binger was the Heavenly Jewel Master's double agility type, he would likely not have been able to last long enough for him to come back and help. Even then, if not for the shock factor of his powerful control skills, plus the fact that there were so many soldiers helping from the side, the end result might still be his death.
Coordination, coordination. Their Master Gems could coordinate well with each other. However, my Elemental Gem has six attributes .. I should be able to properly coordinate my skills …
Zhou Weiqing vaguely understood that today when Shangguan Binger was in danger, the reason why he could sense it so quickly was because Shangguan Binger was the Sacrifice that helped him to Awaken his Heavenly Jewel, the reason why he was able to sense it so quickly was because Shangguan Binger was the Sacrifice that helped him to awaken his Heavenly Jewel, and they share a connection. However, what would happen if the person in danger was Xiao Ru Se? He would not have the same feeling of danger.
To protect his family, the people he loves, to protect his own homeland, he needs more strength. At this moment, in his heart surged sincere respect to his father. All these years, it was his father who had protected the Heavenly Core Empire!
As he thought about it, Zhou Weiqing returned to a standing position. Focusing his will, the four energy vortexes in the Four Death Acupuncture Points he had destroyed immediately accelerated their stirring. Without a doubt, what he needed the most right now was Heavenly Energy.
