Chapter 172: Face to Face
The sharp sound of breaking through the air seemed to be endless, and the battlefield on the road was completely engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

The giant blue artillery vehicles were lined up in a row, roaring and spewing out flames, coordinating with the fireballs of hundreds of magic soldiers, attacking the distant defense towers with all their strength.

At this time, the originally towering First Defense Tower of the Wei State was already covered with burn marks and cracks under the fierce artillery bombardment. What made the black soldiers who were still defending the tower despair was that under the tower, a giant tripod-shaped mecha was madly smashing the already crumbling tower like a ferocious beast.

Compared with the firepower of the artillery vehicles and magic soldiers, the damage caused by this mecha monster to the defense tower is the most fatal, because every punch it throws not only causes a violent vibration, but also stimulates countless strange electric currents. Under the interference of these currents, the defense tower turret that was originally capable of unlimited high-speed output has become difficult to control, and the firing frequency has dropped from an extremely high rate of 1 shot per second to 10 shot every 1 seconds.

As we all know, the hero Liu Chan is not only a high-control tank, but also an expert in demolishing towers. His passive skill [Magnetic Barrier] allows his three active skills to cause damage and interference to enemy defense towers, which not only speeds up the demolition of towers, but most importantly, his ability to interfere with turrets limits the casualties of the soldiers assisting in attacking towers to only double digits.

Wang Yao sat on an unknown stone tablet from a distance, looking at the battlefield from afar while looking at the screen of his mobile phone. The time showed that this battle to capture the tower had lasted for 37 minutes. It was only a matter of time before the tower was destroyed.
"You are worthy of being the prince. Otherwise, it would probably take the lives of 200 soldiers and half a day to tear down this defense tower." Behind Wang Yao, Fei Yi was guarding alone. Looking at the tower attack that was gradually coming to an end, the soldier could not help but sigh.

Wang Yao did not answer. He put away his phone, stood up from the stone tablet, and turned back to look at Fei Yi silently. There was something flickering in his dark eyes.

"Captain of the Thousands?"

For some reason, looking at Wang Yao's eyes at this moment, Fei Yi subconsciously felt a chill in his heart, because Fei Yi felt a trace of cold hostility from it, which was something he had never seen in such a long time in this approachable centurion.

Killing intent.

"Fei Yi, can I trust you?" After a moment, Wang Yao suddenly asked expressionlessly.

Fei Yi was stunned for a moment. Among the ten centurions of the Seventh Main Force, he was the most worldly-wise. Although he didn't understand why Wang Yao suddenly asked this question, Fei Yi reacted quickly and tightened the hilt of the black sword in his hand.

"Captain, you have been so kind to me. If there is anything I can do for you, just send me there. I am loyal to you, and the sun and the moon can bear witness to it!"

Looking at Fei Yi kneeling on one knee in front of him, Wang Yao leaned down and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Then go and help me do something."

boom! !

When the tower weighing hundreds of tons collapsed like an avalanche, causing a loud noise like the collapse of the sky and the cracking of the earth, the first defense tower of the Wei Kingdom finally couldn't withstand the unilateral destruction and collapsed completely.

The falling pieces stirred up a cloud of dust and deafening noises. In the midst of this, no soldier would pay attention to the two people far away from the battlefield, and no one would hear what Wang Yao said to Fei Yi.
When the rolling dust settled, the originally towering enemy defense tower had turned into ruins. After completely destroying the small number of remaining black soldiers, Maomao and Ishira Ono came over excitedly.

"Ayao, where did you buy the black sword you gave us? Damn, this is too perverted!" Ono asked.

Even Shi Liang couldn't help but exclaimed: "At first I thought it was an illusion, until I discovered when I was attacking the tower just now that this black sword seems to have really increased my strength. The centurion guarding the tower couldn't even block my sword."

Maomao, who was always careful, said, "I remember you also had a black sword like this before, right?"

Looking at his teammates who were excited but also a little confused, Wang Yao smiled and said, "As long as you like it, it's fine. However, I can't reveal the details for now. I will tell you when I have the chance in the future."

The three of them looked at each other, and finally Maomao asked, "These magical weapons, I have never heard of them in all these years in Jingzhou, they should be very expensive, right?"

"A black sword is 250 gold coins, and a spell book is 300 gold coins." Wang Yao said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Maomao, Ishira and Ono's eyes widened instantly. It was obvious that this price was far beyond their expectations.

"Oh my god, our centurion's monthly salary is only 1 gold and 70 bronze. This...this, this, minus the decimals, it would be at least 20 years' salary?!" the little monster shouted.

"I originally wanted to discuss with you about giving one to each of the soldiers of the Yao family army," Shi Liang said blankly.

"Such a valuable thing." Maomao was holding the spell book in his arms, and seemed a little flattered. Compared with his companions, Wang Yao was much calmer. He just smiled and patted Maomao on the shoulder, saying: "Money is a thing outside of the body. To me, your safety is much more important than gold coins, so you don't have to care too much about the price. But a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. You must remember that you must not let others know the effects of these weapons at any time. Do you understand?"

Xiao Ye and Maomao were both moved by Wang Yao's sincere expression and nodded silently. Only Shi Liang suddenly looked solemn and came closer.

"Ayao, tell me the truth, are you secretly supported by a noble lady in Jingzhou? And you are supported by several of them at the same time? Otherwise, where do you get so many gold coins?"

"Damn, Ayao, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person! Please introduce me to someone, I want to be kept by someone too!"

"All of you get out of here."

After the joke, Shi Liang Xiaoye went to the ruins to look for energy crystals under Wang Yao's instructions, and only Maomao stayed with Wang Yao.

"Where's Fei Yi? Why can't I see him?"

"I arranged for him to go back to the highlands to do some work. I guess he won't be back within a day or two. You can lead his team for the time being." Wang Yao said.

Maomao nodded, but didn't ask any more questions. He just asked again, "So what should we do next? Should we let the troops continue to advance with His Royal Highness the Prince?"

"No." Wang Yao shook his head and said, "Next, we must get our troops out of here. I think Wei's Lu Bu is coming back. I don't want too many soldiers to be hurt again, so this time, let Liu Chan fight Lu Bu. Of course, I have to stay too."

"You want to stay?!" Maomao was startled, but soon recovered and said, "You always take three steps before doing anything, and you must think of a way out. Do you have any plans?"

Wang Yao smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth, a desperate battle, no plan. No matter how stupid Lu Bu is, he can't be fooled twice, so this time, we can only fight head-on!"

After a pause, Wang Yao looked at Maomao, whose face was gradually becoming worried, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am the best soldier in the canyon, and Liu Chan is by my side, so there will be no danger."

Looking at Wang Yao's calm expression, Maomao hesitated to speak, and finally could only sigh softly. Her voice had become softer since she didn't know when. "I know you won't change your mind once you make a decision. I only ask you to promise me that you will live no matter what, okay?"

At this moment, the pair of dark and lively eyes on the girl's pretty face were as clear as water and more gentle than ever before.

Wang Yao was stunned for three seconds, and then he looked away almost instinctively.

"Well, you too. You too, need to live together."

At dusk, the setting sun's afterglow reflected on the mountains and waters of the canyon, and also on the two figures standing in the middle of the road, one in front and one behind.

In front, little Liu Chan was lying on the mecha operating table bored. The boring wait made him yawn frequently.

In the back, Wang Yao sat on the ground with his eyes closed, resting.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blowing from the front brought with it a strong smell of blood.

Wang Yao slowly opened his eyes and gently pressed the hilt of the Infinity Blade hanging at his waist.

On the distant skyline, under the blood-red clouds, accompanied by heavy footsteps, a burly figure shrouded in black slowly appeared.

The peerless demon Lu Bu had red eyes and was holding a three-meter-long Fang Tian Huaji, walking towards them with a cold face.
