Chapter 287 Crimson's Strength
The girl's footsteps stepped lightly on the ground. She walked out of the rain and fog. Her hair looked a little wet, but it added a sense of holiness and beauty to her.
"Everything is fine!" Magnus felt that things were somewhat out of his control.
And judging from the terrible sense of oppression coming from the front, he seemed to have underestimated the power of the perfect 'puppet man'.
"Go ahead, take her down for me no matter what." Magnus gave a death order. He didn't care how many casualties the people he brought with him suffered. The Starlight Trading Company was wealthy and powerful, and it would train batches of strong people to serve the trading company every year. However, the 'puppet man' was different. It was a war tool that was enough to change the world pattern.
The warriors went out, dozens of them drew their swords and slashed with their fighting spirit. The strong wind created by the fighting spirit was like a raging sea with flying sand and rocks, the momentum was quite terrifying.
The magicians lowered their heads and silently chanted spells. Circles of magical power spread out, and the magic was soon ready under the rapid chanting. They raised their wands at the same time, and several spells attacked Crimson.
Facing the combined fire of fighting spirit and magic, Crimson remained calm and whispered, "Physical shield, magical shield."
Two layers of hazy light shields appeared around Crimson's body. When the attacks of the people from Starlight Trading Company touched the light shields, the seemingly powerful attacks melted like ice and snow and did not cause any harm to Crimson.
"It's defensive magic. Magicians, please keep increasing your firepower. Soldiers, follow me!" A soldier who should be at the captain level had good eyesight. He immediately gave orders to change the way of fighting.
"You have no chance." Shenhong slapped the oncoming fireball away, and her figure disappeared from the eyes of everyone in Starlight Trading Company in an instant.
"Disappeared? No, she is moving at high speed, be careful! Pay attention to defense!" The soldier who just gave the order tensed his muscles and activated the fighting skill "External Perception".
However, in his perception, he did not notice the presence of anyone around except his teammates. Just when he was suspicious, a white fist came into his sight.
The fighting spirit shield was like a fragile eggshell in front of this fist that was like a work of art. The warrior's eyes turned black and he instantly lost all consciousness.
Shenhong stood where he was, glanced at the person behind him out of the corner of his eye, and then his figure disappeared again.
When Crimson appeared again, everyone was shocked. Mags even rubbed his eyes, unable to believe the fact.
"Why are there so many?"
A 'Crimson' suddenly appeared in front of every warrior and magician without warning, leaving them at a loss. Before they could react, the expressionless girl swung her fist of punishment at the enemy.
"boom!"
None of the elite warriors from the Starlight Trading Company had the strength to fight back. They were thrown away like insects and fell to the ground, staggering from side to side. It seemed that they had fainted.
Magus could no longer maintain his usual demeanor. The situation before him was far beyond his expectations. Is this the power of a perfect puppet? Even the Exception Man could not match him. He was an absolute strong man.
"Get her! I must get her!" Mags' inner desire had never been so strong. He saw his future in Crimson, an extremely bright future, a future that would allow him to stand at the top of the world.
If he could mass-produce such perfect puppets, what would he be afraid of? The Kendenia Empire? The Kingdom of Alan? The Principality of Saint Gamma? The Holy See? The Starlight Company? These were nothing to him. Not to mention the human kingdom, even if he looked at the whole world, he could have a place there.
"Your Highness Crimson." Magnus changed his address. He ignored the people on the ground. Only the Crimson figure was left in his eyes. He said extremely eagerly, "Join my side. I can give you everything you want. I swear, when I reach the top one day, there will only be you by my side!" Like a fanatic of a religious belief, Magnus's body trembled uncontrollably with excitement and tears welled up in his eyes.
His answer was still a ruthless fist, smashing down on his greasy head.
……
Being delayed by a group of inexplicable people, Shenhong no longer rushed on his journey as usual and directly turned on the high-speed mode, disappearing in a flash.
Less than two minutes after Crimson left, Mags, who was lying on the ground like a dead man, let out a strange groan and stood up staggeringly.
"It's a pity about this 'scapegoat'. I guess I'll have to apply for a new one when I get back." Magnus shook his head regretfully.
Unlike those magicians and warriors, Mags' physical fitness is far weaker than theirs. Crimson's punch directly triggered the effect of the "surrogate doll", allowing Mags to escape the disaster.
"Useless thing, get up now." Mags kicked the person next to him hard and poked him roughly with the dusty crutch.
"Lord... Lord Magnus..." The person who woke up slowly turned pale when he saw Magnus, and knelt on the ground trembling.
"Wake them all up and go back." After saying that, Magnus went back to the 'mobile mansion' on his own.
"Yes!" Surprisingly, the vice president who was known for his tyranny within Starlight Trading Company did not get angry. He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief and began to wake up other people.
Magnus sat on a soft chair made of beast skin, squinting his eyes and thinking about what to do next.
The technology of the dwarves has pushed the 'Puppet Project' one step forward, but it is still not so easy to complete it completely. Starlight Trading Company invests huge amounts of money every year but still faces several insurmountable difficulties. Now it has come to the last moment, with only the last bottleneck left. I believe that if we can get a perfect 'puppet' at this time, then everything will be solved.
However, the power of the perfect "puppet man" can no longer be calculated by common sense. It seems that in order to capture it, it is necessary to use the magical items of divine relics sealed inside the company.
"Perfect 'puppet man'. You can't escape from my grasp." Magnus smiled confidently. Behind him was one of the most powerful forces in the human kingdom. As long as he wanted, even a princess of a country could be captured easily. The perfect 'puppet man' would eventually belong to him.
For so many years, the president of Starlight Commercial Bank has been planning a shocking plan, for which the power of the "puppet man" is indispensable. This task has always been in charge of Magnus. Now Magnus not only sees the dawn of completing the task, but also has some other ideas after witnessing the power of Crimson. A bold plan slowly takes shape in his mind.
However, the plan is still in its infancy and needs to be considered carefully after returning.
"Smoked and roasted ones are indeed the best!" Luo Qiu couldn't stop eating after tasting a piece of black pepper pork, and swept through the food in the bowl and plate like a whirlwind.
Not only Luo Qiu, Meng Li and the three maids were the same, even the usually reserved Nellis couldn't resist being greedy.
After dinner, Luo Qiu and Shenhong walked one after the other on the path in the garden. Luo Qiu couldn't help but smile at Shenhong, who was looking down with anxiety.
"Crimson, having you as the chef is the best decision I have ever made in my life."
