Alien Knights

Chapter 268: First battle

   sat on the haystack in the cell, knees propped on his elbows, fingers crossed each other, chin against the knuckles, Todd looked at Boyle's already cold body, lost in thought.

   He knew that his face must be so ugly, how ugly.

   The original plan: Rescue Boyle tonight and learn about Aisha's whereabouts from his mouth. Find the latter, take these two people, find a suitable place in the southern area of ​​the northern border, and establish an outpost.

   Boyle presides over the camp’s internal affairs, Ayesha escorts the sea channel, and the Kingdom of Muxi is responsible for material support.

   This was the original plan.

   But a major accident happened in the first step.

   As the leader of the puppet regime of the Western Kingdom, Boyle, because of his injuries, died in this small and dark cell.

   inserted his fingers deep into his hair, Todd opened his eyes wide, his expression was frustrated, and he sighed heavily: "Did the goddess of doom fall in love with me? Or did he provoke someone with a very low lucky value recently?"

   sighed towards the roof, Todd said to himself: "What should I do next?"

   Boyle is dead, and it doesn’t make any sense to stay here.

   The best option right now is to leave here immediately and find another way.

   But Todd is really unwilling to reconcile. The West Kingdom’s strategy for the North is the result of repeated discussions with Emerson. Boyle has a high popularity among the barbarian tribes, leads many followers, and has many growing strongholds. He is the best candidate to resist the kingdoms of Ulster and Connaught.

   Besides, there is another reason that haunts him.

   Boyle’s words before his death made Todd feel grief.

   A leader who still missed his people before he died. At the moment he begged for help, Todd was on Boyle, as if he had seen himself a few years ago.

   Thinking back to the "Path of Sighs" visited during the day, Todd fought a cold war with the thousands of slaves buried alive.

   If someone discovers Boyle's death tomorrow morning, his people must have the same tragic end.

   stood up, rested his right elbow with his left hand, and touched the bridge of his nose with his right hand. Todd kept walking in circles in the cell, thinking hard about possible countermeasures.

   The long night slowly passed, and the east gradually turned white.

   The sound of the morning bell came from his ear, and Todd, who was thinking about it all night, stared at Boyle's corpse, and a crazy idea came back in his mind.

   This idea is so lou, dong, bai, chu, that Todd himself is a little hesitant. But time is pressing. If you miss the present, you may not have such an opportunity in the future.

   Thinking of this, Todd stopped hesitating and started to take off Boyle's clothes. (Editor's note: Not what you think.)

   Putting Boyle's clothes on himself, Todd began to observe every scar, birthmark, mole and tattoo on his body.

   Using the "shaping" ability gifted by Claus, Todd watched the man on the ground while changing the shape of the skin and fat in his body.

   The face shape gradually changes, the skin color becomes darker, and the imprints are copied one by one.

   After half an hour, Todd has completely changed into Boyle's appearance.

   stood up straight and contrasted with the deity on the ground. Todd nodded in satisfaction, then frowned and shook his head.

   "Shaping" ability can change the soft skin tissue and fat connective of creatures, but it can't reshape bones.

   Boyle is about thirty years old and about 177 cm tall. Todd is eighteen years old (another world age) and is 171 cm tall. If you look closely, judging from the size of the two, you can still tell the difference.

   But at this moment, there is no way to take care of so much.

   put his clothes on Boyle's body, and Todd used his "soil control" ability to turn the prison floor into soft quicksand.

Seeing Boyle's body slowly being swallowed by the earth, Todd took out a silver coin from his pocket and placed it on the opponent's chest, quietly saying: "I can't promise you before you are alive; After you die, I will try my best to fulfill your last wish."

   Mud and sand buried the hero, and the last place in his lifetime became his cemetery.

Todd re-solidified and smoothed the soft sand and gravel with powers, which looked like the original ground; then walked to the corner of the cell, smashed the haystack, and took away his belongings, especially the Levy. The "Amber Stone" given by Tan was buried underground.

   After doing all this, Todd sat cross-legged on the ground and began to think about the next countermeasures.

   This morning, Boyle will perform a gladiatorial show.

   said it was a performance, which is actually equivalent to punishment.

   The Ulster Kingdom has always held the most brutal and harsh attitude towards rebels.

   The most important task right now is to win this battle. If they win, Boyle and his people may have a chance to survive, and the northern strategy of Muxi Kingdom can be carried out smoothly; but if they lose, everyone will only have death as a result.

   So, victory is a must, but another question comes again-how can we win without flaws?

   Boyle, in the final analysis, is just an ordinary person with a slightly higher force value and no abilities, and after several days of severe torture, his current state should be weak and his combat effectiveness is extremely low.

   In this way, there are three points that should be noted.

  First point, in order to prevent others from questioning their identity, all abilities with light and sound effects cannot be used.

   For example, "weakness" and "disintegration" that emit dim light, "soil control" that can manipulate the earth, and "metal skin" that can transform skin into metal. The only remaining ones that can be used to a limited extent are "Perspective", "Eagle Eye", "Regeneration", "Pain Resistance", "Strength Strengthening", "Rapid" and other abilities that will not attract the attention of others.

   The second point is that monster forms are definitely not usable. Todd, transformed into a monster, can indeed defeat most enemies, but this will inevitably expose his identity and attract a lot of attention. If that happens, the identity is not revealed, and there may even be unexpected powerful enemies who come to the door.

   The last point is the "performance" with every possible means. I once heard Rachel introduce Boyle’s life. Todd has a certain understanding of this northern man. What he needs to do now is to perform Boyle’s empathy, his wit and bravery. Of course, the most important thing is to show the strength that fits this role.

   Just as Todd was trying to figure out the role, there was a sound of footsteps at the end of the prison corridor.

   A arena supervisor, two Ulster soldiers approached Boyle’s cage.

   Seeing the "prisoner" who had broken free from the restraints, sitting on the ground with a calm expression on his face, the person was startled.

   "How did you untie these ropes?!" (Northern)

   Todd, who didn't understand Beidi, glanced at him coldly according to the plan conceived in advance, and acted out Boyle's rebelliousness.

   The supervisor was furious, opened the cell door with the key, took out the wooden stick he was carrying, and hit Todd's spine with a vicious blow.

   Todd, who had been transformed by the tyrant in the Land of Shadows, was an attack like this to him.

   But the play was about to be played, Todd let out a scream, fell to his knees, curled up weakly.

   "If you don't know good or bad bastards, today is your death date!" (Northern dialect)

   The supervisor who exhaled, in a great mood, made another kick at Todd on the ground, and then winked at the soldier behind him.

   Two soldiers from the Ulster Kingdom set up Todd on the left and the other, dragging him towards the arena.

   At eight o'clock in the morning, there were nearly three thousand spectators sitting in the huge venue.

   There are two reasons why so many people gather here. One is because the king of Ulster is here today to watch the gladiatorial fight; the other is because Boyle, the famous rebel leader, will be here today to determine his fate in a gladiatorial way.

   As King Ulster rang the bell, a soldier stumbled through the Gladiator's Gate and walked out.

   There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

   "This is the Boyle? According to rumors, shouldn't he be five meters tall, with arms like wine barrels, and fireballs?"

   "Look at his body, he is as thin as a skinless mouse!"

   "What is he wearing that body? Leather armor? Look at the quality, is it an antique left from the age of the ancient gods? Haha!"

   "And the sword in his hand! Look at the color, made of wood?!"

   Standing in the center of the arena, Todd looked around, and at a glance he saw Rachel who was glaring at him in the crowd.

   Not long ago, Todd used two seconds in the real world and ten minutes in the soul space to explain his plan to Rachel.

   After this, Todd took another full hour to calm Rachel's anger.

   The voice of the host from the arena interrupted Todd's thoughts: "Today's duel is a peak duel!"

   "Today's gladiator is a fierce and cruel rebel leader-Boyle! He once single-handedly defeated the kingdom's commander of the Madzi Army, and led the rebels to attack the Kmedya prison..."

   Listening to the host introducing the past deeds one by one, Todd knew that Boyle had done so many important things and had such a great influence in the entire northern region.

   "As for the opponent of the gladiator! We are familiar...skinner!"

   A burly man with a height of two meters walked slowly into the arena from the other end. He is wearing a suit made of human skin ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ holding a awkward but sharp sickle in his hand, and a circle of shriveled human heads hanging from his waist.

   "The devil from the dense forests of the north! Nineteen battles unbeaten! He is the nightmare of every opponent! He is also the undefeated legend of the "Red Circle"!"

   Looking at this huge giant, he walked slowly in front of him, Todd glanced at him with disgust, the human skin and human head on his body.

   "In the name of the king, I announce that the gladiatorial fight has begun!"

Before   's words fell, the skinner attacked first.

   The huge sickle was cut towards Todd's shoulder.

   The latter instinctively made a defensive counterattack action: first sideways to dodge the attack, then stretched his leg to kick, and finally jumped to the rear to extend the distance between the two.

   But Todd has forgotten one thing.

   With this kick, he kicked the two-meter-tall giant into the air and slid back more than ten meters.

   The entire arena, because of this kick, suddenly became silent.

   Hearing the exclamation and inhalation from the stands, Todd grinned, his face was completely smashing antiques.

   He looked at his opponent who could not afford to struggle on the ground, stuck his tongue out, and whispered: "I'll take it, it seems to be stronger..."
