Uncle, I am not an ordinary office worker.

But Roy nodded firmly:

"Trust me, I can hold on!"

"If you don't believe me, watch me shoot an arrow first!"

Volume 1: Chapter 152 Stella!

If you don't believe me, wait for me to shoot an arrow.

Roy's speech was nothing short of heroic. Throughout the history of Terra's wars, there were only five people who could make such a bold statement. Even Mainna, who recognized Roy's strength, had the first reaction when she heard Roy say this: Is this guy kidding me?

In the past, Leithania was at its peak, the Witch King's magic was at its peak, and it was in great glory. When facing the millions of soldiers of the Gallic Empire, it destroyed their vanguard troops single-handedly, which was a feat that shocked the entire land of Terra. It was also that impossible victory that made Victoria and Ursus determined to intervene in the war, which eventually evolved into the Battle of the Four Emperors that destroyed Gaul in one battle.

But people only remember how the witch king's spells destroyed the world, but forgot the price he paid for it. Originium skills require Originium to release, and the medium through which the witch king releases spells is tens of thousands of infected people. Every spell thunder that falls is a tragedy of countless infected people's bodies rapidly crystallizing. Such a victory in exchange for sacrifice is probably more appropriately described as a loss for both sides.

Maenna didn't think Roy had the same power as the Witch King. He thought Roy was bragging, but he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant and expectant - what if? What if what he said was true?

Roy has so many trump cards and killer moves. Whenever they think he is helpless, he can always come up with something new. Although the possibility is only one in ten thousand, what if he really has such a card that can help them stop the enemy?

There was a look of doubt and surprise in Mainna's eyes, but time did not give him the chance to speak to Roy a few more times.

Two moons hung high in the sky rose from the dense forest, and the cold moonlight finally illuminated the scenery on both sides of the Baibo River. As if receiving a signal from heaven, the whole earth suddenly shook, followed by a deafening buzzing sound of air vibration.

On the other side of the river covered by moonlight, dozens of huge black and red drones slowly rose up and flew in unison towards the other side of the river. The buzzing sound was the sound of their wings spinning rapidly.

Mauna's pupils suddenly contracted, and she recognized the model of the drone almost immediately:

"Imperial Artillery Harbinger! Bombardment! Take cover!"

The huge drone flashed a strange red light and advanced to the other side of the river in an orderly manner at a speed that seemed slow but was actually the blink of an eye. Its pace slowed down again and the red light on it became more and more enchanting. The next moment after Mainna gave the warning, it seemed to have finally discovered the abnormality. The red light of the camera suddenly shone in the direction of the dense forest, and the small signal tower on it immediately transmitted the information to the artillery warlock in the rear.

After a delay of less than a minute, the dark sky was lit up by countless rows of artillery fire. The firepower coverage of the Ursus artillery warlock unit was like a dense net, rushing towards the knights hidden in the dense forest!

They may not have really discovered the exact trace of Roy and others, but Admiral Brechester would never be careless in war. Since the dense forest on the other side of the river was the most suitable area for the enemy to hide, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, he would not be stingy in wasting the ninety-nine percent of the artillery fire.

"Boom!"

The loud noise of the shells hitting the ground completely shattered the long-lasting false tranquility on the border. Mauna hurriedly got up from the ground, brushed off the dust that splashed on his body, and immediately ordered the soldiers beside him:

"Go quickly, find Captain Johnson and Captain Chesper, and count the number of people. Are there any injured? If they are safe and sound, prepare for the charge immediately. The gap after the first round of bombardment from Ursus is the time for the knights to charge..."

Before he finished his words, the next moment, the sky was filled with the whistling sound of artillery shells streaking across the night sky.

Second round of bombardment!

Mahenna quickly hid in the bunker, his mind full of thoughts.

Did the Ursus army discover their deployment? If not, why was there a second bombardment? If so, why did they launch the attack at three o'clock according to the time? If it was one or two hours in the morning, they could have caught them off guard.

In a state of confusion, he turned around and subconsciously wanted to ask Roy's opinion. But as soon as he turned around, he found that there was no one behind him.

Roy wasn't there? Where had he gone? He didn't go into the bunker with him?

Mauna was shocked. He believed that Roy would never be a deserter, but at this moment, the artillery fire from Ursus was constantly falling. What was he trying to do by staying outside instead of hiding from the attack?

"If you don't believe me, wait for me to shoot an arrow!"

The expression on Roy's face when he said this suddenly emerged in Mainna's mind, that firm and resolute expression, as if he was ready to sacrifice himself and face death with indifference.

Without time to think, he immediately crawled out of the bunker and looked through the smoke of artillery fire to the place where he and Roy had just stood.

Just as he imagined in his mind, Roy was standing there at this moment, bending the bow, loading the arrow, and nodding the string.

Roy took a deep breath, feeling a little nervous.

What was going to happen next was so frightening even if he tried.

According to legend, there was a great hero in the ancient empire. Seeing the war between two countries, he swore to God and shot an arrow at the cost of his own life, so that the two countries stopped fighting and shook hands in peace. The hero was called Arash, which is also the origin of Archer. Roy got his module, and to some extent, as stated in the module introduction, he had to inherit his will.

The B-level module [Stella!] has two effects. The first is to sacrifice the user's weapon, resulting in a powerful shot depending on the weapon's level. This is part of the improvement brought by the B-level module, surpassing the original owner. The second is to sacrifice the user's life and weapon, resulting in a super powerful shot and unknown effects. This is Stella's most well-known ability.

Roy had always used the first effect in the past. This effect was very powerful. Roy only needed to consume some relatively cheap standard weapons to cause unexpected destructive power. But now, facing an opponent like the Third Army of the Ursus Empire, the first effect seemed a bit stretched.

So, Roy turned his attention to the second effect.

Sacrificing his life, releasing a super powerful shot and unknown effect. Roy didn't know whether this unknown effect could be as magical as the great hero in the legend, but the side effect of sacrificing his life alone was enough to make Roy regard him as a scourge in the past.

But it's different now.

Roy's eyes turned to another module.

【Middle Mountain】

Second effect: [It hurts, it hurts, it hurts]: When you are injured, you can shout "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts" and shake your hands three times. The negative effects of your injury will be ignored for a short period of time (10 minutes for minor injuries, 5 minutes for serious injuries, and 1 minute for near-death).

Roy had always thought this effect was a bit useless. You know, he was now the [Last Knight], a true heir of the sea. A minor injury might heal in less than ten minutes after he cried out in pain. And for a serious injury or near death that could have beaten Roy into this state, then ignoring the damage for just five minutes or one minute was indeed better than nothing.

But think about it from another angle, what if the one who put Roy on the verge of death was not someone else but Roy himself?

The sacrifice effect of [Stella!] is not resolved as soon as it is called, otherwise who will shoot which arrow? God?

As long as there is buffer time, Roy can shout out just six words in less than a second, and the one minute of damage neglect can be a life-saving straw!

Although after releasing this arrow, even if Roy did not die on the spot, he would at least fall to the ground seriously injured. Although the effect of this arrow was still unknown, and whether his bug-like operation would bring other impacts, but at the moment, this arrow was the last way to buy time and Casimir's last chance.

Everything hangs on one arrow!

Taking a deep breath, Roy raised his longbow and aimed at the sky, between the two moons!

“Stella!”

A roar pierced the night sky, and an arrow flew over the rain of artillery fire!

Volume 1: Chapter 153 This is a shooting star!

[It was already three o'clock in the morning. The sound of artillery roared on both sides of the Baibo River. The vanguard of the Ursus army had already reached the river and would soon cross the river for a battle. The Knights of Casimir only had 1200 men. They were not able to defeat an enemy force several times their size, let alone meet the artillery fire and block the Ursus army from crossing the river.]

[However, at this critical moment, a loud chanting sounded in everyone's ears. Maenna Linguang looked up and saw the Pegasus Knight holding a bow and string, his sword eyes like stars, chanting a long-lost spell, and shooting that shocking arrow! - Excerpted from "The Legend of the Eternal Knight Series, Chapter 2 - Double Sun"]

"My Lord, who is as holy as the sun, my Lord, who has bestowed upon me all wisdom, dignity, and power!"

Mainna could not understand the language Roy spoke. It was not any of the existing popular languages ​​on Terra. His tone was obscure, but his voice was ups and downs, like a Lateran believer in worship.

"Please recognize my sincerity, my faith, and my strength."

The artillery fire continued to fall, and the latest splash of dust even landed on Roy's face, but he still stood straight, and his loud voice and firm tone seemed to be more deafening than the deafening sound of the artillery.

"Look, O Creator of the stars and the moon, witness my actions, my end, the sacred devotion (Spenta Armaiti) I will accomplish." After launching this desperate blow, my strong body will immediately fall apart!"

Mainna was not the only one who noticed Roy's actions. In fact, after the first round of bombardment, the two Knights Generals, Johnson and Chesper, had already rushed out of the bunker first, trying to organize the soldiers scattered by the bombardment and launch a surprise attack during the interval between the bombardments. They also noticed Roy's unusual behavior, but the second round of bombardment came too fast, so they had to retreat into the bunker before they had time to ask.

But at this moment, hearing Roy's chanting outside the bunker, they, the many soldiers hiding in the bunkers, suppressed by the artillery fire and unable to raise their heads, also opened their doubtful eyes and looked at the only figure standing on the battlefield.

Roy finished his chant, and his body began to emit a divine light as if it was sublimated. The bow and arrow in his hand flashed a light that was difficult to look at directly. This was a sign that the module (noble phantasm) was ready to be released.

He could no longer hear any sound, and all he could see was the dazzling light from the arrow tip. The pain in his limbs and the feeling of being torn apart came over him, telling him the price of becoming a "great hero", and it almost tore him apart.

But he could still feel the words that were eager to come out of his mouth!

“────Stella!!”

Roy himself couldn't tell whether the voice announcing the coming of peace was a roar or a whisper. He only felt the "arrow" slipping from his fingertips, and the next second, endless nothingness swept in like a raging sea.

At this moment, Roy had to thank Liuxing Yitiao for his judgment. In order to ensure that the chanting could end perfectly, even though Roy could no longer feel his whole body, his mouth was still hard and he could still speak a few words.

“Damn it, it hurts so much!”

The words he shouted out with his last bit of consciousness were like a spell to bring him back to life. The next second, Roy, whose whole body was still in a state of collapse, bleeding from all seven orifices, and whose bones were broken, suddenly felt a sense of fullness. Not only did his ears and eyes become clear, but even his physical strength that had been drained of every drop was instantly restored to its peak state.

Although it was only a one-minute burst of energy, Roy could clearly feel that his sea body had begun to operate at full speed, repairing the countless jaw-dropping injuries all over his body.

"Roy, Roy?"

Mauna's voice rang in his ears. He rushed forward, his eyes filled with undisguised horror and worry. He stretched out his hand as if to touch Roy, but was afraid that the man in front of him, who was almost broken into pieces, would have to be touched with a broom next time because of this touch. He opened his mouth and could only barely squeeze out a sentence from the bottom of his heart:

"Are you... okay?"

Roy turned around and smiled brightly:

"It's okay, it's just a fatal injury."

Just a fatal injury.

Mainna was at a loss whether to laugh or cry at Roy's light words, but the sudden abnormality in the sky made him raise his head suddenly.

Roy's arrow took off into the air.

If the arrow seemed like an inconspicuous firefly among thousands of artillery fire when it was just shot, then at this moment, the arrow has truly turned into a meteor!

It dragged a long golden tail flame, and its whole body radiated a golden glow like a miracle. When it passed across the sky, the entire sky was as bright as day. Not even lightning could match its brightness, and even the double moons would be eclipsed by its power. It cut through the night sky, leaving a long tail like a watershed on the horizon, and its target was directly the Ursus position where the artillery fire was heard.

The Ursus people could not describe what they saw at this moment.

This was the battlefield where two armies were fighting. General Blechester had foreseen the possibility of an enemy ambush in the forest on the opposite bank, so he arranged multiple rounds of artillery bombardment to suppress the enemy's firepower in order to cover the infantry crossing the river. This should have been a foolproof strategy. Even if the Casimirs discovered their intention, they would be too late to stop them as they had occupied the advantageous terrain first and launched firepower coverage.

But what did they find out by this explosion?

meteor!

A shooting star!

The commander of the Ursus artillery unit had a look on his face as if he had seen a ghost. How could a meteor suddenly appear in the sky? It would be fine if it just appeared, but why did it come straight at our army?

Fortunately, they were the Ursus army and not the Dayan army, otherwise they would have probably had some bad associations by now, such as destiny, easier access to divine weapons, sons of the planes, and meteor showers.

But even so, they were still completely unable to describe what they saw using scientific methods.

If we use a more magical approach, it would be that the Casimir people on the opposite side found a way to resurrect the Witch King and sent him to the front line, so the Great Originium Warlock was able to perform such a big task for them!

But is that fucking possible? Do you think everyone is a Sarkaz and can perform such an operation as summoning spirits?

"*Ursus swears*, gunners, change the target, fire volleys, intercept that thing in the air!"

The speed of a meteor is not very fast, so as long as the number of bombardments is large enough and the fire network is dense enough, it is possible to hit it. At least, that's what the Ursus people think.

But with a loud bang, countless Originium shells were sent into the sky. When they approached the brilliant meteor, they exploded one after another and could not get close at all.

The artillery commander stared at the scene in front of him in a daze. This was the first time in his life that he encountered an enemy that could not be defeated by his firepower coverage.

"Hurry and take cover!"

A roar burst out of his mouth, but the next second, the meteor was approaching.

【Boom! 】

With a loud bang, the earth dragon turned over, the mountains collapsed and the ground sank! After a shake, the earth split in two, and the canyon cracked out! With a single arrow, the surging river suddenly turned into a raging waterfall, and a natural barrier that did not exist on the map suddenly took shape!

This is a shooting star!

Volume 1: Chapter 154: Is the one coming, the Pegasus Knight?

On the other side of the Baibo River Canyon, inside the Ursus fortifications.

The guards who rushed into Brechester's room attacked from both sides and dug Brechester out from under a boulder, who was almost buried by the ruins. Perhaps because Meteor Ichijo's target was not locked on their area, Brechester's office was also reduced to ruins in the aftershocks of the landslide, but it also gave him some time to react.

When he was dug out from the ruins, there was not a single piece of good flesh on his body, and he looked like a bloody man covered in blood. But miraculously, he did not suffer any fatal injuries, which amazed the guards who rescued him.

But soon, they noticed that there seemed to be someone missing in the office.

"The adjutant was a brave soldier. When the explosion occurred, he resolutely stood in front of me and used his life to block the first wave of impact for me. This is how I was lucky enough to survive."

Brechester said with a hoarse voice, which made the rescue soldiers sigh. They didn't like the airborne adjutant, but now they couldn't help but feel guilty and regretful after hearing the words of General Brechester, who was quite prestigious in the army. If they had come earlier, maybe the adjutant wouldn't have died so tragically.

No one noticed that when Brachester, who had survived the disaster, looked at the body of his adjutant that was carried out from the rubble, his eyes were surprisingly cold, even a little teasing.

"Thank you for using your body to help me block the first wave of landslides."

Blechester said this calmly, and the soldiers passing by saluted him upon hearing his words, thinking that the general was really thanking this heroic martyr.

But the general's "gratitude" did not last long. Soon, he returned to the front line of the army after simply treating his wounds.

The front line was silent. The surviving soldiers had numb and dull eyes, as if they had not recovered from what had just happened. For them, defeat was not terrible. The war between Ursus and Casimir lasted for a long time, and even the previous emperor had not been able to completely win. So what if they failed in this battle? At most, they could try again next time. But what they could not accept was that their defeat was caused by a meteor that suddenly fell from the sky and defeated them. This kind of thing, whether it happened in ancient times or modern times, in China or on this land, is really too shocking.

In particular, more than one person noticed that the meteor rose from the forest on the other side of the river, which meant that it was Casimir's work!

The enemy can make meteors with his hands. How can we fight him?

The rift valley of the Baibo River waterfall had formed in front of them, reminding the Ursus people all the time that all this was not a dream. It was like a heavy hammer, hitting the arrogant Third Army hard on the head, waking them up from the fantasy of writing history and leaving their names in history, and making them feel the coldness and cruelty of reality.

The soldiers would not launch another charge, they did not dare. This was what Brechester, who was at the front, was thinking.

Fortunately, this is only the vanguard. The follow-up troops may have also seen part of what happened, but they have not really seen that scene after all. What they need to do now is to maintain the morale of the follow-up troops.

But how to maintain the morale of the follow-up troops?

Let the defeated soldiers of the vanguard go back to rest? This is definitely not possible. Once they are allowed to return to the rear, everything that just happened will immediately spread within the Third Army. By then, even if he wants to conceal it, he will probably be powerless.
