Chapter 918 You, go and get me the Law-Breaking Blade of the Holy Kingdom

Mark was sent to the Holy Kingdom and was questioned by the Holy Kingdom's top leaders.

Before the results came out, a strange plague began to spread quietly in the Holy Kingdom, and then it broke out.

Lu Xingshi didn't pay any attention to the rest. There were only sporadic intelligence indicating that the Holy Kingdom suffered heavy casualties and was beginning to fall apart.

Lu Xingshi studied the wizard hunters in the morning and investigated the Dragon Mountains in the afternoon.

The assassins gradually disappeared. After all, after so many assassination attempts, let alone success, there were very few people who approached Lu Xingshi. In addition, with Lu Xingshi's own martial arts ability, he would definitely not continue to send people to die.

After realizing that the decapitation operation had failed, the frontal attack on the Dragon Battlefield became more fierce. If it weren't for the inexpensive and high-quality magic mirror puppet, Lu Xingshi would probably have to cast several meteorite spells every day.

Although the attack of the alliance of nations was fierce, under the dual threat of Lu Xingshi and the magic mirror puppet, the Dragon Mountains were gradually becoming the territory of the Orei Empire.

The alliance of nations also thought of other solutions, such as the method of besieging Wei to save Zhao.

It just doesn't work well.

Up to now, the main type of troops in the Dragon Mountains are the Magic Mirror Puppets. Their remains can be recycled after death, and they do not use living people as soldiers. They are just a group of puppet dolls made of materials.

So even if it is dead, it can be recreated by investing materials.

With Cato gaining the full support of the empire, the Magic Mirror Factory naturally went into full swing. Every moment, a large number of Magic Mirror Puppets were produced from the Magic Mirror Factory and sent into the battlefield.

In addition, the occupied Dragon Mountains began to produce resources, and the positive cycle gradually alleviated the various drawbacks of the Orei Empire.

If the alliance of nations does not have any new means to deal with Gato, the magic mirror puppet and Lu Xingshi, then it is only a matter of time before the Dragon Mountains fall into the hands of the Orei Empire.

It would be a lie for the alliance of nations to say they are not in a hurry, but there is no point in being anxious. If the problem cannot be solved, they can only watch helplessly.

The biggest beneficiary would still be Lu Xingshi. He completed the empire's quota by throwing meteorites every day, and then he could devote himself to his own research.

As for the Principality of Lanton? There is even less need to worry. As the mainstay of the southern battlefield, the Empire takes very good care of it. There will not be a situation where people fight on the front line but are not supported by the rear but persecuted instead.

Even if some people are confused, the interests of the entire top management are related to Lu Xingshi. Even for the sake of interests, they have to protect Lu Xingshi.

If there really were such brainless people, the Orei Empire would not have survived until now.

Most of the Steam Faction members who rose from the bottom are actually loyal to the Empire. Only a small number of them are like the aristocrats and the royal family, who only care about making a living in the front and the back.

Previously, it had been discovered that the royal family and the aristocratic faction had colluded with the enemy and interfered with the matter several times. The Steam Faction had dealt with them several times, and one of them almost affected the situation in the battle of the Dragon Mountains.

Fortunately, Jiatu is resourceful, otherwise the situation would have turned against us again.

Lu Xingshi was also very confused about this. Why did the nobles and the royal family do this? Just because they were deprived of power, they would rather befriend allies than domestic slaves?

However, the repeated mischief of the aristocracy and the royal family finally angered the steam faction.

Not long ago, the Orei Empire directly abolished the royal family and swept the aristocratic faction into the trash can.

From then on, the Steam Faction completely controlled the Aore Empire and became a true imperial faction.

It was this action that caused the Steam Faction to suffer quite a bit of impact, and the counterattacks from the Aristocratic Faction and the Royal Family before their death were not so easy to deal with either.

Of course, these things have little to do with Lu Xingshi for the time being.

The reason why it is temporary is because he is the Grand Duke of Lanton and theoretically a nobleman.

Now because Lu Xingshi is in charge of the affairs of the Dragon Mountain Range, the empire has temporarily shelved this issue. Once it is dealt with in the future, changes will definitely be made.

But Lu Xingshi didn't care about this matter. As long as there was enough strength, the empire would make an exception.

Another thing is that if the benefits are really enough, Lu Xingshi doesn't have to be the Grand Duke of Lanton. He doesn't have to live with such a noble title.

Grand Duke Langton is the Duke because of him. Without him, it would be just a small viscount title.

Whether there is one or not, it will not affect his status and interests very much. At most, there will be some changes.

"The special energy structure can cause a certain assimilation effect on mental power, and can also form resistance to elements. This resistance combined with the assimilation effect will ultimately cause additional damage to wizards."

"Against normal extraordinary soldiers, wizard hunters are only slightly better than ordinary people."

"But when used against wizards or magical super soldiers, this level of wizard hunter is enough to exert the power of the third level."

Lu Xingshi dissected the wizard hunter and was not very optimistic about this extraordinary soldier who specialized in hunting magic.

The reason is very simple. Where do so many magical soldiers come from? This is a battlefield, not a private duel or assassination.

Even if there are extraordinary soldiers with magic skills, they are in the rear as spellcasters, so it is not easy for wizard hunters to get close to them.

Go around and attack from behind? That's a good idea, but the question is how do you go around and attack from behind?

If it were that easy, wouldn't it be easier to just kill the magic soldiers and directly charge into the main camp to kill the commander?

"It is indeed not effective on the battlefield, but if it is used specifically against wizards, it is indeed very efficient...but the problem is that wizards in this era, as well as other types of extraordinary soldiers, have a higher killing efficiency than wizard hunters." It is mainly due to environmental factors. The highest that wizards can do now is to condense soul seeds. Their strength is very limited, and they have no magic power.

The upper limit is completely locked.

Therefore, the Wizard Hunters, this group of extraordinary soldiers, seem to be very useless.

"But then again, the core of the wizard hunter is a wizard weapon. It's ironic when you think about it." Lu Xingshi complained.

Wizard Hunters are orthodox supernatural soldiers. Their origins are the same as those of steam soldiers and magic mirror puppets, all of which are based on wizard weapons.

On the contrary, the Moonlight Werewolves are extraordinary soldiers who belong to a different species.

"The Wizard Hunter's special attack against magic comes from the wizard weapon called the Blade of Spell Breaker."

"We have to find a way to get it..." Lu Xingshi still has a lot of interest in the Law-Breaking Blade.

This magical weapon was also a sacred weapon in the witch hunt back then, killing countless powerful wizards.

Lu Xingshi was also quite puzzled as to why it was not a treasure but a magical weapon.

Treasures are equipment that can adapt to both wizard and knight professions, just like the set of growth equipment on Lu Xingshi, which are all treasures and can adapt to two professions.

For a magic weapon to be fully effective, it must be used by a wizard with magical powers.

If they are both T0 level, the treasure should be one level higher. After all, it is suitable for dual professions, unlike magical weapons which have restrictions.

As for the power, they are naturally about the same.

In fact, Lu Xingshi also had some guesses as to why there was a distinction between magical weapons and treasures, because magical weapons were made by wizards, but treasures were not necessarily made by wizards.

And it is suitable for dual professions. Under the condition of equal power, the resources required for treasures are definitely more than those for magical weapons.

"You came just in time. How are the people from the Holy Country doing?"

"I've taken a fancy to their Law-Breaking Blade. Find a way to get it for me." Lu Xingshi noticed Gato's arrival and asked for the thing as soon as he opened his mouth.

Cato knew that the tragedy in the Holy Kingdom was committed by Lu Xingshi, but he didn't care about the life or death of the Holy Kingdom. He cared more about Lu Xingshi asking him to arrange someone to get the Blade of Breaking Law.

"He's almost dead, but the Law Breaker Blade is a bit troublesome."

"We are not the only ones eyeing this magical weapon. Many other countries also want it. It's still in the scramble stage, so we don't have any information yet." Gato replied.

At Lu Xingshi's level, whatever he wants can be done with just a word, and the rest can be left to his subordinates.

It is convenient, but there is a possibility of failure.

"Try every possible means to get it. If you succeed, I will add the power of breaking spells to the Magic Mirror Puppet. Although it is not as good as the Wizard Hunter, it can also make the attack of the Magic Mirror Puppet more powerful." Lu Xingshi gave the conditions.

There is no benefit. The Empire does not care much about Wizard Hunters. Although they are also a kind of extraordinary soldiers, for the Orei Empire, which already has three kinds of extraordinary soldiers, they are at most icing on the cake.

On the contrary, other empires need wizard hunters to turn the tables, for example, to gather enough numbers to deal with Lu Xingshi's meteorite technique.

"The power to break the law, does it mean to target the elements or to resist the elements?" asked Cato.

This is very important. The biggest problem with the Magic Mirror Puppet is that it is fragile and needs to resist the power of the elements as protection.

The ability to target elements is not very necessary, as the attack power of the magic mirror puppet is sufficient.

The magic mirror puppets use the human wave tactic. No matter how low their attack power is, once their numbers increase, they can be surrounded and beaten in a group. On the contrary, if they are on the defensive and launch a ranged attack, a large number of them will die at once.

"Both." Lu Xingshi responded.

"If you have both, the energy will be divided into two modes. Can you set it to two modes, one for breaking the elements, and the other for resisting the elements?"

"Switching between these two modes will surely lead to higher efficiency," said Gato.

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he thought this kid was indeed outrageous: "Okay, but the prerequisite is that the Empire gives me the Blade of Breaking Law."

"Otherwise, no matter how good your idea is, it's just wishful thinking."

After receiving Lu Xingshi's guarantee, Cato immediately said, "Don't worry, no matter how high the price is, the empire will be in our hands."

“It’s a win-win situation.”

"It can not only weaken the alliance of nations, but also strengthen itself. If the Empire does not take this seriously, it will be courting its own doom."

"But then again, if I give you other magical weapons, can you continue to strengthen the magic mirror puppet?" Cato asked curiously.

Lu Xingshi rolled his eyes: "No."

Of course he could, but he didn't have the time, and the transaction of the Seven Deadly Sins Magic Mirror hadn't been completed yet, and he was already thinking about asking for after-sales service. How could such a good thing happen?
