Chapter 166 Disappointment
Amidst the violent explosion and roar, the whole earth seemed to tremble slightly.All other sounds between heaven and earth seemed to have disappeared, leaving only the monotonous, deafening explosion.

In order to achieve maximum lethality and not give Anthony any chance to escape, the magicians of Taranto launched the attack at the same time under unified command.The wave of magic was ferocious and dense, but it didn't last long.But in the feeling of onlookers, this wave of terror attacks that made the world look pale seemed to have gone through as long as a century.

The explosion in the air slowly subsided, and the shaking earth also returned to calm.The stagnant air flowed again, and the soft warm wind blew gently, blowing away the smog that filled the sky.

What is presented before people's eyes is a big deep pit.It's like a giant accidentally fell and crushed the solid ground.

Anthony lay on his back at the bottom of the deep pit, looking extremely miserable.

The helmet on his head has disappeared. It is unknown whether it was blown into pieces or blown to a certain corner.His youthful face was revealed.

The shield, as thick as a door panel, was still held by Antony, but it had been reduced to half its original size.The rest shattered into several pieces and scattered not far from him.

Without the protection of the shield, the armor on his body can only directly face numerous magical attacks.This set of armor that Anthony personally refined for this battle has become tattered at this moment, and there is hardly a single inch of it that is intact.There is no piece of armor to cover the hands and feet, and the bloody flesh is directly exposed.

Anthony took a deep breath, only to feel that his whole body was exhausted, and the pain all over his body was suppressed underneath instead.

Suddenly, a figure jumped down from above with a "huh".

The man walked up to Anthony and looked down at him.

"What's the matter, boy, are you still alive? It's cool to let you be brave, isn't it?"

Although he said sarcasm, his tone showed real concern. It was "Azure Sword Master" Caton.

"I'm afraid I'll be in bed for a few days. It's nothing. It's just..." Anthony's lips twitched, as if he wanted to make a wry smile, but unfortunately failed.

"Just so tired!"

Anthony is indeed very tired, physically and emotionally.

Carton couldn't understand what he was talking about, and didn't bother to ask.

This kid has a lot of ideas, and he can't understand a lot of things he usually says, so he doesn't care about it at the moment.Seeing that this kid has complete hands and feet, there is no missing part, and there are not many big holes in his body.Thinking about the injury is really not too serious, I can't help but feel grateful and admired in my heart.

Hundreds of magicians concentrated fire attack!Just thinking about it is enough to make your scalp tingle.Master Juggernaut could not help shivering when he recalled the mighty momentum of the magic frenzy just now.

If I were in Anthony's position instead...

Lord Juggernaut shook his head, no longer thinking about this boring hypothesis.

Suddenly, he tilted his head slightly, with a dignified expression, as if he was listening and sensing something.

After a while, he relaxed, and said to Anthony: "It's our magician troops, and they are launching a counterattack. This is what you explained, right? Then General John was finally obedient this time."

Anthony was lying on his back on the ground, looking at the sky with blank eyes, and he couldn't see the slightest joy in his whole body.

Is General John obedient?
maybe.

He silently sensed the magical fluctuations in the air.Regardless of the scale or intensity, it was worse than the commotion caused by the Taranto magicians just now.

...If it could be activated earlier and more vigorously...

Anthony silently added a sentence in his heart.

Lord Juggernaut squatted down and reached out to help Anthony up.

"Okay, we have nothing to do here, let's go back quickly! Your Royal Highness is in a hurry."

Just as his left hand touched Anthony's shoulder, the whole movement stopped suddenly.

Lord Juggernaut withdrew his hands, stood up slowly, and looked up.

A middle-aged man in black stood on the edge of the pit at some point, and was quietly looking over here.

This is the center of collective bombardment by hundreds of magics. Martial arts powerhouses in the fourth realm like Master Juggernaut are still fearful. Ordinary soldiers only hate that their parents have lost a few legs, and it is too late to escape far away. How dare you come here.

Of course, those who appeared in this place at this time would not be ordinary people.

"Azure Sword Master" stood up straight, his right hand had already grasped the hilt of the long sword hanging from his waist.

There is no need for any set of simple or complicated calculations. As a top expert, just relying on Qi is enough to judge the strength of the opponent.

The middle-aged man in black in front of him is a master, and a master of the same level as Caton Juggernaut.

"Azure Sword Master" held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, stretched his left hand behind him, and waved back slightly.

The two silver fighters who came with Caton jumped down into the deep pit, helped up Anthony on the ground from left to right, and retreated slowly.

The hand of the "Azure Sword Master" that was holding the hilt of the sword tightened suddenly, and a condensed murderous aura shot up from his body, and he had firmly locked the aura of the middle-aged man in black.As long as the opponent makes a slight move, it will definitely incur a violent attack from the Caton Sword Master.

A shocking battle between top martial arts masters is imminent.

The middle-aged man in black looked at the two silver fighters who were slowly retreating, and Anthony who was protected by them.Then look at the "Azure Sword Master", who was full of fighting spirit and ready to go, suddenly took two steps back, turned and left without saying a word.

As long as Caton is guarding here, it is impossible for him to kill the seemingly dying boy.Since it is already impossible to complete the task assigned by the Duke, of course there is no need for him to have a meaningless battle with Caton.

Carton was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to retreat so cleanly.

But he didn't relax his vigilance, but followed behind the two silver fighters, slowly retreating, holding the handle of the long sword without letting go.

When the group of four was about to reach the edge of the deep pit, there was another sound of magical whistling and roaring explosions outside.

However, this has nothing to do with them.

……

General John in military uniform lifted the curtain and walked in.

Judging from the time, he should have just settled and arranged military affairs, and then rushed over in a hurry.

"Mr. Anthony, how is your injury? Is it serious?"

Judging by his expression and tone, his concern and worry did not seem to be fake.

Anthony lay flat on the bed, covered with a soft quilt.The exposed arms were wrapped in bandages, and the head and face were cleaned, but many scars could still be seen, looking quite distressed.

"General Lao is worried. Finally, the skin is thick and fleshy, and it is quite durable. After a while, it should be fine."

General John took two steps forward and said, "Did you let the doctor accompanying the army see it? What did the doctor say? Hey, where is the doctor? Why is there no doctor?"

"No need to call, there is no doctor here. Anthony can heal the spells himself, and we all have good wound medicines, so we don't need to bother others."

Princess Yalena, who was sitting by the bed, interjected lightly.

General John couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

Since he came in, Her Royal Highness has been a little indifferent to him.He took the initiative to say hello to her, but the response was also cold and unenthusiastic.Now that she expressed concern for Anthony's greetings, she interrupted herself, and her words were quite dissatisfied and complaining.

It has long been heard that Her Highness the Princess has an ambiguous relationship with this genius boy, but now it seems that the rumors are indeed true.

As General John thought about it, he put aside his little embarrassment.

"Our army was able to achieve such a brilliant victory only thanks to Mr. Anthony's advice and personal risk. I will come here specially to share this good news with Mr. Anthony: It is speculated that the magician troops of the rebel army, in this At least [-]% of the loss was lost during the battle. Mr. Anthony should be credited with the first credit for this huge contribution."

In the army, the magician unit is an extremely detached and terrifying existence.Being able to annihilate more than half of the Taranto magicians in one fell swoop, this military exploit can indeed be called brilliant.

Anthony responded indifferently: "The general is too polite, I just did my duty."

General John was about to speak, but was preempted by Her Royal Highness Princess' tone.

"Anthony has just returned from the death gate, and still needs a good rest. Will General John find another time to talk about military affairs?"

General John was taken aback for a moment, and the embarrassment on his face became more intense.

The sky can learn from the sky, he didn't come here this time to discuss military affairs with Anthony.

Not to mention that the war is over, the Aberdeen army is cleaning the battlefield, and there will be no urgent tasks in a short time.Even if there is, there is absolutely no need to rush to disturb Anthony's recovery at this moment.

Anthony used his body as a bait, risked alone, and planned to solve Aberdeen's magician army for the military, and finally returned injured.It makes sense that General John, as the commander-in-chief of the army, should come over to express his gratitude.

But His Royal Highness doesn't like him, so what can he say?
Since the Aberdeen army decided to withdraw, Her Royal Highness Princess Yalina's attitude towards him has become much colder.But today's short time together, Her Royal Highness not only became colder and colder, but also sneered and sneered in her words.

He rushed over full of enthusiasm, but the result was a hot face with a cold ass, and General John felt very bored.

Even Anthony, who has always been gentle and polite, did not know whether it was because he was physically exhausted and mentally sleepy after the injury, but he also behaved quite perfunctorily, with a sense of refusal in his indifference.

General John hit a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and he was unwilling to stay any longer.After telling Anthony to take a good rest and recover from his injuries, he left in a hurry on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs.

"Hmph! You will pretend to be a good person."

Yalena looked in the direction of the door and said indignantly.

Then he turned to Anthony.

"You said, what are you working so desperately for? Let them send troops to quell the rebellion, but turned around and left halfway. If this is the case, let them fight back slowly. Why do you have to force yourself to fight for them? Take such a big risk. Is it worth it?"

The aggression of the Riga Empire and the rebellion of the province of Taranto already worried Princess Yalena.As a result, General John, who belonged to his own side, gave up halfway at this fatal moment, saying that he would stop playing if he didn't want to play. It's no wonder that Her Royal Highness has a good face towards him.If it wasn't for Anthony's strong dissuasion, she would have taken the person away on her own, so as not to get angry when she saw the other person's face.

Anthony was lying on the bed, looking at the top of the big bed with both eyes, but his eyes were completely out of focus, and he repeated Yalena's words in his mouth.

"Yeah, for what? Is it worth it?"
