Chapter 19
After visiting the BuBu Hut, no matter how tempting it may seem, we couldn't return home right away. After all, when the assassination attempt was organized on me, there was no evidence pointing to the culprit, only guesses, according to which actions were taken against the culprit's business. However, this time the situation is different. An attack on Ke Qing is tantamount to an attack on one of the representatives of the supreme power, and taking into account the attack on me. Even without direct evidence, Tang Hao would have faced an extremely unenviable fate. And now that there is evidence, Ke Qing and I, as well as the Millelite troops, went to the culprit to carry out the massacre. After all, no matter how fabulous this world may seem, it is ruled by force, so there will be no public trial, and there will be no opportunity for justification, only inevitable punishment.
When we arrived at the Tang family's territory, I had to admit that their holdings were truly huge, at least several times larger than mine, and if you add their location to that, it would be obvious how rich this family was.
"It's a pity that such a family would sink into oblivion because of one idiot." The voice of the Millelite captain walking next to us was full of regret.
"Nothing lasts forever, captain and all of us will meet our end sooner or later, the only difference is in what kind of end it will be." I said calmly.
"I will remember your words, young master. Now please step back a little with the lady, it seems that we will not receive a warm welcome." The man said seriously, standing in front of us.
This captain was clearly an elite warrior of Li Yue. Next to me, he seemed like a real giant, with his height exceeding 2 meters, he was like a mountain of muscles personifying unbridled physical strength, and all this was complemented by the eye of the god Geo hanging on his belt. He was dressed in the standard Millelite uniform, his face was not particularly remarkable, not handsome, but not ugly either. The color of his hair, the most common for the Chinese chestnut color.
He walked slowly but confidently to the locked gates of the mansion and hit the gates three times.
- With the right granted to me by law, I order the gates to be opened, otherwise I will be forced to use force! - the captain's powerful voice rang out.
In response to this, several vials filled with elemental energy were thrown from the other side.
- Captain! - I involuntarily exclaimed, already about to grab my catalyst to go to the rescue.
- Everything is fine. - Ke Qing stopped me. - He didn't become a captain for his pretty eyes.
And indeed, a geo shield in the shape of a quadrangular prism suddenly appeared around the men, hitting which the vials released the energy contained inside, conducting an elemental reaction, which ultimately could not cause even a ripple on this shield.
- A stupid decision. - the man said calmly.
He abruptly pulled his fist behind his back, which gradually began to shine gold from the saturated energy of the geo, and as soon as a short bright flash occurred. Suddenly he directed it at the gate, which after the collision flew into pieces.
- Not bad. - I said slightly surprised, especially considering that he charged the attack for no more than a second. A kind of tank with high, attacking power, although clearly inferior in speed to such owners of the eye of God as Ke Qing.
- Of course! You don't think that the army of one of the strongest regions will not have enough fighting force, do you? - my wife chuckled.
"We may not have the technology of Snow or Fontaine, but we have the largest number of God's Eye owners among all regions, as well as the Adepts standing guard." Ke Qing said proudly, watching as the rest of the soldiers followed the impregnable, super-strong wall, among whom one could see those who owned the God's Eye, although what is noteworthy is that most of them had the Geo God's Eye, and only two Catalyst girls had Hydro and Cryo.
If you think about it, it is logical that in reality there are many more God's Eye owners, because in the game itself, some of the game characters received their artifacts under rather ordinary circumstances. Take Tignari as an example, during the conference in Sumeru, he interrupted the speaker standing at the podium because he made a mistake and when the conference ended, he received the God's Eye. Is what he did something incredibly special? I think not. There are quite a few people who would do the same. So it is not surprising that there are actually many more owners of the eye of God, it is just that not all of them stand out so much.
- Well, that is logical, but I think that Li Yue should not forget about technological progress. - I nodded at Ke Qing's words and as if to confirm my words, five servants suddenly came out from around the corner of the house, with muskets that obviously belonged to Snow, and fired a simultaneous volley towards the captain, whose shield was broken from such damage, and one of the bullets wounded him in the shoulder.
- Captain! - the hydro catalyst exclaimed anxiously, immediately rushing to the man, simultaneously using her skill to heal, and in the meantime, a whole hail of attacks fell on the servants who had attacked from the ambush, which instantly killed three and left two more with serious wounds.
- Looks like this bastard will have to live for a while. - Ke Qing frowned, drawing her sword.
- Such is life, that it likes to present surprises. - I sighed, calling the catalyst.
After which, the two of us joined the assault.
