Magic Industrial Age.

Chapter 22: Breakthrough (Seeking follow-up reading)
A few dozen miles east of the city, in a small woods.

The moon goddess is so stingy with her light tonight that the sky and the earth are dark.

In addition, the lush branches and leaves in the grove blocked the moonlight, making it even dimmer.

Therefore, even those who were used to moving in the dark had to light torches.

The jumping flames illuminated a limited area, but it did not affect the transaction between the two parties.

Obviously, the trust between the Vulture Bandits and the Blood Hand Gang was limited, so the flatbed carts carrying the goods were driven to two almost parallel positions, about a hundred meters apart.

Then, the coachman led the horses away, and professionals came forward to check the goods and assess their value.

The Vulture Bandits had a lot of cargo, filling five flatbed wagons and piled high. Even if the Bloody Hand Gang sent five people, it would still take some time to count them.

On the other side, there was only one carriage, so the inspection was much faster.

The Vulture Bandits also have their own base, and of course they also need all kinds of supplies. In addition to necessary daily necessities, medicines and weapons are also indispensable.

These were purchased by the Blood Hand Gang. One party gave the list and the other party purchased them in batches, and then they were settled together when the bill was settled.

It took a full half hour for both parties to complete the evaluation.

The Blood Hand Gang gave a value report, while the Vulture Bandits bargained. The bosses of both sides stood where they were and did not show up, but they sent someone to argue their case.

In the darkness, their voices could be heard from far away. They became so excited that they even greeted all the women in the family and quarreled fiercely.

However, they finally reached a compromise. After both parties confirmed it, the Bloody Hand Gang took out a black box, counted out the coins from it, and sent someone to deliver it to the Vulture Bandits.

The Vulture Bandits were also afraid that they would mess around, so they had special people to contact them and count the money very seriously.

Hundreds of meters away, behind a big tree, Luo Yi squinted his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him. He felt that it was both absurd and real.

Next to him, Oliveira stood with a sword over his back, looking very calm and casual.

However, they had no intention of rushing forward. Luo Yi came here to seek a breakthrough, not to catch everyone in one fell swoop.

That is the official business of the Habsburg Empire and has nothing to do with him!
After the transaction was completed, Bloody Bode and Vulture Black Jack walked forward in tacit understanding. They shook hands, said a few words, and then each led their team to leave in opposite directions.

The Blood Hand Gang obviously has more manpower, and those carriages still need to be towed away, and it can be done without anyone.

The Vulture Bandits were simple. They just pulled a horse, hitched a carriage, and headed off into the distance.

They were not moving very fast, and some figures flashed out from between the trees, each carrying a bow and arrow, forming a team of nine people.

The direction of progress was exactly where Luo Yi was.

However, Roy and Oliveira were no longer there.

Miles away, on a mountain trail.

As they got farther away, the members of the Vulture Bandits also relaxed, and the sounds of their laughter could be heard from far away.

However, since some time ago, there has been a person standing on their way.

He stood there with the slender sword at his waist, as if blending into the darkness, and waited for a long time.

As the torch light approached, the vulture seemed to sense something and suddenly stopped and shouted, "Who? Who is there?"

In the darkness, Luo Yi moved, like a shadow moving forward, allowing others to notice that there was actually a living person.

And when he walked completely into the area illuminated by the fire, it was like walking from darkness into light, and walking in front of everyone.

"Are you Black Jack the Vulture?"

The reason why Black Jack is named "Vulture" is because he really looks like a scavenger vulture.

His back was slightly hunched and his head was leaning forward. There was almost no hair on the top of his head, but there was still some left on the sides.

Its eyes are like those of an eagle, emitting a vicious light. When it stares at you, it is just like a vulture staring at its prey.

Staring at Luo Yi, Black Jack clenched the sword in his hand and spoke hoarsely: "I am, what about you? Are you sent by the Blood Hand Gang, or are you one of my other enemies?
Tell me your name, or I won't know who to blame after I kill you."

As he said this, he had already drawn the sword in his hand. A clanging sound was heard, and the first to move were the four people behind him. They all drew their bows and shot arrows.

shhhhhh...

The arrow broke through the air and hit Luo Yi's vitals. Obviously, they had a very good understanding of each other, and the action of drawing the sword was the order to attack.

However, Luo Yi was not panicked at all. There was a blue light flashing in his eyes, and he took a step back.

With just one step, he disappeared into the darkness, and the silver angel sword in his hand created a phantom.

Ding Ding Ding!
It was as if a spark flashed and Luo Yi disappeared, just when everyone was in doubt.

On the left, there was a noise coming from the darkness, and everyone looked over almost at the same time.

But at this moment, on the right side, Luo Yi jumped out in the darkness, as fast as a cheetah.

With a thrust of the rapier in his hand, it pierced through the heart of an archer.

Another slash, and blood splattered all over the face of the man next to him, scaring him so much that he stepped back repeatedly.

The others were also startled. Those who reacted slowly raised their hands and shot arrows; those who reacted quickly, like Black Jack, pounced directly.

But when he stood still, there was no trace of Loy, only the archer lying on the ground, with one hand covering the bloody hole in his heart and the other hand raised, trying to touch Black Jack.

Black Jack's face flushed, his eyes were fierce, his ears moved slightly, and he turned his head suddenly.

From another angle, I saw a subordinate covering his throat with both hands, but blood was oozing out of it. His lips opened and closed, but he couldn't say anything.

Another one dies!
Black Jack could only see a silhouette, which once again dodged into the darkness.

"Everyone, gather together with your backs to each other, and light the carriage. Quickly! Quickly!" A hoarse roar was heard, and the bandits carried out the action almost instinctively. They crowded together, some drew their bows, and some held weapons.

Others threw out torches and set the carriages on fire. The flames from the burning cargo made the surroundings even brighter.

But it's no use, absolutely no use!
In the darkness, there were clear footsteps coming, accompanied by bloody storms.

But just when everyone's attention was attracted by him, another figure rushed out from other direction.

The sharp sword pierced through the air with a "swish" sound, and it had already cut one person's throat and another person's eyes.

The screams tortured everyone's nerves, and another figure walked out of the darkness.

This time, everyone had to be distracted elsewhere, but the figure rushed out directly and slashed the chest of a robber with another sword.

This time, the Vulture Bandits completely collapsed. They no longer paid attention to Black Jack's command and fled in all directions, howling.

Only Black Jack was still standing in the firelight, pointing his sword at the ground and staring around with a serious expression.

At this time, he knew that there was more than one enemy.

In the darkness, howls could be heard from all directions, becoming weaker and weaker. He knew that all his men were dead.

This made him terrified and at the same time aroused his ferocity.

"Come on, let's have a head-on battle to decide life and death!"

He was just venting his anger, but he didn't expect that a figure would walk out of the darkness again and come under the firelight.

Seeing the newcomer, Black Jack asked loudly: "Who are you? Who are you? Why are you trying to pick a fight with me?"

“I’m just an amateur bounty hunter. I heard that your head is in the police station and is worth a lot of gold.

So, I want to earn money and spend money! "

This reason made Black Jack's expression freeze. He had thought of many possibilities, but he never expected it to be this.

It was at this moment that Luo Yi pounced on him.

His movements were as swift as a cheetah, and the silver angel's rapier reflected the cold light and was already in front of Black Jack.

Black Jack was not incompetent either. He roared, and the long sword in his hand suddenly accelerated, trying to block Loyi's rapier.

His sword was a standard cross sword, with a sharp blade and a cross-shaped hilt. He also used the most popular cross sword technique.

The key is to defend and wait for the attack, with the long sword placed on the midline of the human body. No matter which direction the enemy comes from, block it with the simplest movement and then try to counterattack.

Luo Yi had no intention of fighting him to death. He made a mistake in his steps and moved sideways.

The rapier in his hand flew up and down, and the sound of "swish" breaking through the air was endless, attacking Black Jack's vital points from all directions.

Black Jack also moved with Luo Yi. Although he was at the second level, his main attribute was not agility, so his reaction speed was far inferior.

But he also has his own way of dealing with things, which is to respond to changes with constancy. If he can't keep up with the speed, he will try to reduce the amplitude of the movement.

Hundreds of breaths passed in the blink of an eye, and there was not a single collision between the two sides.

Black Jack's defense was flawless, but Luo Yi was a little disappointed.

This person might have already reached the second level, with his life seed flourishing and a thin stream of fighting spirit flowing in his body.

But at most he is level six or seven of the second stage, and his strength is far weaker than what is said outside.

At least, he failed to bring fatal pressure to Luo Yi.

"If this is all you have, I won't play with you."

These were Luo Yi's original words, and at this moment, he no longer minded the collision of swords.

The Silver Angel's rapier was quickly thrust forward and collided with Black Jack's cross sword.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The collision of metal was like music, sparks flickered, and then died out in an instant, while Roy moved forward step by step, forcing Black Jack to retreat continuously.

Are you kidding? The Silver Angel Rapier is a sophisticated magical weapon worth five gold tiers. How could it be so easily damaged?!

Luo Yi's swift swordsmanship had long been under his control. With every collision, the sword seemed to bend, but he could follow the arc and launch the next sword at the fastest speed.

And every sword must hit Black Jack's vital points!

At this time, Black Jack had already felt the threat of death, and as he was about to move away from the fire, a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

"Come die!"

With a roar, he no longer paid attention to the scars left on his body by the rapier, but instead swung his long sword through the air, horizontally and vertically, using a sword technique.

Cross cut!
The sword light seemed to draw a cross, and was about to cut Luo Yi into four pieces, but Luo Yi had been prepared and suddenly jumped back.

With a very precise jump, he dodged the sword, but the next second, Luo Yi felt his heart beating violently and the threat of death surged into his mind.

Then, in the light of the fire, Vulture Black Jack was standing there, covered in blood, with an extremely ferocious smile on his face.

In his left hand, he raised a magic pistol.

The black muzzle of the gun was aimed at Luo Yi, and the magic power visible to the naked eye gathered. The inscriptions on the pistol were ignited one by one and were already in an excited state.

It turns out that Black Jack's strength is not because of his superb swordsmanship or his strong fighting spirit, but because he is proficient in both magic and martial arts, and has a magic firearm.

At this moment, Luo Yi felt that the world had slowed down, and only his heartbeat was like a drum, so that the dormant seed of life also beat along!
At this moment, he felt the palpitations that Oliveira mentioned, and also found the opportunity for a breakthrough!
