Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

"Now that Meng Huo is dead, your presence can help the South Central Army to unite in the short term." Taiyi rolled his eyes and looked at Zhu Rong, "But if you die here, General Guan may still be able to control the South Central Army in a day or two, but sooner or later there will be chaos from within because of you and Meng Huo's absence."

"You cannot die until a force that can replace the South Central Army appears."

“Hehehe.” Zhu Rong grinned, “Boy, what you said makes sense, but first, we have to survive from those pursuers before we have a chance to talk about the future.”

"If that idiot Meng Huo could have a bit of your rationality, the situation wouldn't be this bad."

……

"Hey? Lord Raikou is going to stay with Chief Zhurong to stop the enemy?" Kaihime looked at Ayane who came running to report with a look of astonishment and asked, "Only about a hundred people?"

"I know Mr. Lai Guang is very powerful, but... it's not just one against ten or a hundred. It's very likely that he will be fighting against tens of thousands of demons!" Sun Shangxiang pursed her lips and said, "How can he survive?"

"No, if it's Lord Raikou, I believe that with his abilities, he will be able to survive and catch up with us." Ayane had no doubt about it.

"But, I'm afraid that none of the others who stayed behind will survive."

"Aren't you trusting Lord Raikou's abilities too much?" Kaihime looked at Ayane in confusion and asked.

"Because I have witnessed Lord Raikou's battles with my own eyes along the way, and I have reason to believe that it is still just the tip of the iceberg of Lord Raikou's full strength." Ayane said that she knew another person like this.

"What should we do?" Kaihime looked at Sun Shangxiang in front of her and asked.

"Master Lian?" Sun Shangxiang turned her head and looked at Master Bu Lian.

"If not, I will stay and assist Lord Raikou." The trainer said, touching the crossbow in his hand.

"No, it's better not to stay." Ayane looked at the trainer and shook her head, "Otherwise you will become a drag on Raikou-sama, and you might even implicate Raikou-sama."

"Retreat! Retreat!" Guan Yu has begun to issue orders, ordering the thousands of surviving southern barbarian soldiers to retreat to the west.

The messengers had also conveyed Zhu Rong's order to each unit, so after Guan Yu gave the order, except for the blocking troops selected to stay, the other Nanman soldiers withdrew from the battle in an orderly manner.

"Let's go too." Wang Yuanji glanced in the direction of Taiyi and broke the silence among the crowd, "Don't waste the retreat time that Lord Raikou gave us."

Although she felt a little sorry for Taiyi, Wang Yuanji still felt relieved when she heard that he was going to stay and stop the demon army.

Although it seems a bit ungrateful, this way the benefactor will no longer be involved in the ugly struggle for power among humans.

And she didn't have to think hard about whether to go into battle herself and win over this man of unparalleled combat power.

To a certain extent, Wang Yuanji felt that this was a relief for both her and him.

Chapter 20 Achilles did not know what he was facing

The demon army came with great force, and the leading general was fully armed.

But Achilles is the most recognizable.

So when the man whose armor style was completely different from that of the demon army, the Three Kingdoms generals, and the Warring States generals appeared, Zhu Rong immediately threw a flying knife at him and attacked him.

She was eager for revenge, and Taiyi expressed his understanding.

But you'd better be careful when you throw the knife, so as not to shoot the horse that Achilles is riding!

"Hmph, a female warrior? They remind me of those Amazon women." After Achilles blocked the flying knife's attack with a round steel shield, he looked at the woman who attacked him.

Whether it was the color of their skin, or their unruly temperament and wild behavior, they all matched Achilles' impression of the Amazon warriors.

"Hehehe, it's been a long time since I last felt this familiar feeling! Let's offer a war sacrifice to Ares!" Kicking the horse's belly lightly, Achilles steed the warhorse under him and galloped towards the bright spot among the leaves.

"Bastards! Die for me!" When Zhu Rong saw the enemy who killed her husband charging towards her, she went straight to meet them without saying a word.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't mess around!" Taiyi was startled, then followed closely with his hand on the hilt of the knife.

Zhu Rong's counterattack was like the fireworks that ignited the battle. The remaining southern barbarian soldiers who had already been awakened roared and charged at the enemy force that was ten times their size.

No tactics at all.

I'm afraid we'll have to kill all of them in one wave.

"Die!" Zhurong leaped up and smashed towards Achilles on horseback with a huge fire in his hand.

Achilles roared and raised his round steel shield to block the flames.

But Taichi, who followed closely behind, also drew his sword and slashed at Achilles' neck.

Achilles didn't have time to retract his defensive posture, and could only barely block with the sword in his other hand.

As sparks flew, Achilles also felt the power of Taiyi's heavy blow.

He pushed the sword in his hand back.

Fortunately, he finally had time to put the round steel shield in front of him.

But even so, Achilles was knocked off his horse.

"Well done, boy! I like you very much!"

Seeing his enemy being knocked away, Zhu Rong, who had been easily blocked by his previous attack and even had his knuckles bleeding from the recoil, finally cheered up. With a ferocious smile, he once again raised the flame of karma and smashed it at Achilles, who had been knocked off his horse and had not yet gotten up.

"Don't be so reckless!" Taiyi quickly warned, "Your subordinates have already rushed in to follow you and kill the enemy!"

Even though Achilles fell to the ground, he was still able to block Zhu Rong's attack and even had the strength to kick her back.

After only two attacks, Zhu Rong clearly realized the huge gap in strength between himself and this foreign warrior.

She can also understand how her husband Meng Huo was killed by the other party.

Just then, she heard Taiyi's reminder.

Looking around, there were less than ten of the one hundred or so Nanman soldiers left standing.

Even those ten people had already been surrounded by dozens of demon soldiers.

Life and death are just a breath away.

"Tsk, my mind has been blinded by hatred." Zhu Rong gritted her teeth in hatred, then stepped back a dozen steps and returned to Taiyi's side.

Well, it’s true, as soon as Zhu Rong returned to the side of the powerful Taiyi, he suddenly felt warm all over.

This should be what the Han people call "sense of security", right?

You know what, it’s warm and quite comfortable.

Zhu Rong pursed his lips and collected his thoughts.

He looked around with sharp eyes at the demon army that surrounded the two of them, as well as the huge demon general who was shuttling towards them among the demon army.

"I'm sorry. It's because of me that I failed to perform well in this rearguard operation." Although Zhu Rong felt somewhat apologetic towards Taiyi who took the initiative to stay behind to cover the rearguard, her tone of voice still sounded arrogant and unrepentant due to her long-term personality.

"Madam Zhurong, you come and ride this warhorse." Taiyi pointed at the warhorses that Achilles rode and reminded, "I will clear the way around and try to delay these demons here for as long as possible."

"Then we'll use this horse to retreat."

"Huh? You're not going to ride it?" Zhu Rong looked at Taiyi in confusion. "You have outstanding combat power. If you ride this horse, won't you be invincible?"

"I can't ride a horse." Taiyi answered while slashing at the demon soldiers rushing over from the surrounding area. "In the world I live in, horses as a means of transportation have long been replaced by other means. They have disappeared for decades or even nearly a hundred years."

"Huh? Even the horse can be replaced?" Zhu Rong was shocked when he heard this, but he did not hesitate any longer. He jumped directly onto the horse's back in three or two steps.

"Human! Die!" Two or three huge demon generals with wild boar heads attacked one after another. Zhu Rong raised his karma fire and attacked one of them without any hesitation.

The other two wild boar heads were quickly taken away by Taiyi.

Except for Zhurong on horseback, there are monsters everywhere around, so Taiyi doesn't need to hold back any more.

As for why he beheaded her with one blow... this would be more of a deterrent to those demons!

In short, after the two wild boar heads were beheaded by Taiyi and the other wild boar head was killed by Zhurong, the surrounding demon soldiers finally showed signs of retreat.

Even in the absence of a general in command, the demon soldiers only dared to surround Taiyi and Zhurong and did not dare to come forward to test the two.

But just when everyone had a chance to catch their breath, and Taiyi and Zhurong had achieved the goal of 'delaying the speed of the demon army's pursuit for as long as possible', Achilles pushed away the demon army soldiers in front of him and stood in front of Taiyi and Zhurong.

"I am Achilles, son of Peleus!" Raising the sword in his hand and striking the shield of the round steel shield, Achilles launched the most primitive provocation to Taiyi.

[“I seemed to hear someone calling my name?” Furukawa’s voice suddenly appeared in the meeting in his mind.

"Who?" Minamoto no Raikou and Jeanne became alert immediately and reorganized the meeting in their minds.

"Hello! Master, nice to meet you. I am Achilles, the son of Peleus and Thetis, the fastest runner in the world! I love victory and the smiles of beautiful women! Please teach me!" Achilles responded.]

The connection between Taichi and Achilles from another world, and the fact that Taichi came to this world alone and faced his own inner love for showing off, winning, and beautiful women, he frankly accepted his own desires.

Therefore, the fourth Servant Mask - Achilles, was born at this moment!

Chapter 21: Minamoto no Raikou: My power is quite useful, right?

Servants who hold meetings in their heads can sense the outside world through their Masters.

But in the final analysis, it's just a feeling.

Unless one merges the power of the mask with Taiyi, one can see it with one's own eyes.

So although the newcomer Achilles knew that Taiyi was now surrounded by enemy troops, he had no idea what kind of enemies they were.

He could only vaguely sense that among the enemy troops standing opposite him, there was someone with whom he had an inseparable karmic relationship.

It was not until Minamoto no Raikou explained it to him that he finally understood the current situation.

The Master is fighting against a Greek warrior from another world named 'Achilles'.

However, judging from the current performance, it is very bad and totally unworthy of the name of 'Achilles'.

Specifically... Taichi not only failed to summon the vajra, he didn't even take off his mask, and his only weapon was Doujikiri Yasutsuga.

So far, he has not used even one-fifth of Minamoto no Raikou's power.

This kind of high-end magic release has never been seen in this world.

But looking at the densely packed demon army around him, Taiyi felt that he had better tear off the mask, summon his weapons, and use his magic power to open up a path of retreat.

Otherwise, even if Zhu Rong rode his horse at full speed, he would not be able to break out of the encirclement of so many demon troops.

After all, this is an ordinary war horse. It can't fly, nor can it pass through the body of a monster.

Achilles once again blocked Taichi's Tongjiqi Yasunari, and looked at the cracks on his weapon, and a look of fear finally appeared on his face.

In addition, when he was knocked flying for the first time, after only four collisions, his big sword and round steel shield had already shown cracks that were about to break.

His steps kept retreating, and he was almost driven into the demon army by Taiyi.

"Hahaha! Boy! Well done!" While Zhu Rong was using flying knives and hellfire to reap the scattered demon soldiers around him, he was also observing Taiyi's battle situation.

Seeing that Taiyi easily forced this powerful foreign warrior back to this point, Zhu Rong was ecstatic.

But after looking at the siege of the demon army that was so dense that it seemed as if there was no end to it, her eyes revealed a bit of confusion again.

With such a dense blockade, she couldn't break out even if she rode an elephant, let alone a warhorse.

The tactic she should have implemented at the beginning should have been to fight and retreat with about a hundred subordinates, and use her familiarity with the surrounding terrain to tie down the demon army's pursuit, or lead the demon soldiers to chase on the wrong path.

But because her head was clouded by anger and hatred, her subordinates were slaughtered, and she and the little boy named Raikou were surrounded with no hope of breaking out.

During this period, it was not even known how many demon troops had given up their siege on the two of them and chose to continue chasing and killing the retreating Nanzhong Army.

In short, don't think too much about it. If you do, endless regret will surge in your heart.

Taiyi's performance made the soldiers of the demon army retreat again and again, trying to stay as far away from the two people who were "fighting" as possible.

It's just that because there are too many monsters behind, the idea of retreating is somewhat slow to convey, and in the process, many monsters lost their lives because of being trampled by their companions.

The inner circle demon soldiers on the other side were worried that the two men who were fighting would fly towards them, and they were afraid that they would be the ones who would be unable to retreat, so they moved as fast as a snail.

"Get up! Keep going!" Taiyi continued to provoke Achilles based on the 'most insulting posture of his time' provided by Achilles.

At this time, the more non-combat time, the better.

Although Taiyi's body had been strengthened by the night spring water before coming to this world, his physical strength has a limit after all.

He rushed up the hillside, killed twenty archers in a row, then quickly crossed the mountain road, killed the demon army blocking the gap, and then led the vanguard of the Nanman army back to the main camp, which consumed a lot of physical strength.

Not to mention that Taiyi was planning to use his magic power to create a retreat route for himself and Zhurong.

That thing is more physically demanding.

Therefore, Taiyi could only take advantage of the tug-of-war with Achilles to delay the time of the demon army in chasing the Nanman troops, while leaving himself some time to recover his strength.

Achilles' anger was obviously provoked by Taiyi.

Even though the sword in his hand was broken and the shield turned into several pieces, he still had red eyes and snatched the trash weapons of the demon soldiers next to him, and rushed over to fight Taiyi.
