Halfway up the Thunder Mountain Range in Thunder City, there are always seemingly endless thunderclouds surrounding it.
Passing through this layer of thunderclouds, we arrived at the residence of the dignitaries in Thunder City.
If you don't carry an identity card of sufficient level, you can't even get close to this thundercloud.
As the military commander of the entire Bracada and the manager of the entire snake demon clan, Fafnir enjoys a very high status in Bracada.
His residence is located above this thundercloud.
It was a huge ancient castle at the foot of the gray rocks.
There is a large grove of thunder maple trees behind the castle, with whip-like gnarled trunks hanging down from between the castle walls.
These thunder maple forests are always surrounded by powerful thunder energy, providing more light sources for the entire castle.
As a long-lived djinn, Fafnir is incompatible with most of the mages in Bracada.
He loathed magical technology, loathed the factory products of the tower, and greatly admired the ancient lighting methods of the avenue woods.
This led to him being labeled as a stubborn and conservative person by the mages in Bracada.
But Fafnir never cared about these things, and even regarded the criticism from the mages as a compliment.
However, the price of not fitting in is being gradually marginalized.
The magic faction and the industrial faction are at odds with the warrior faction, and the logistics faction is a group of indifferent people.
The warrior faction led by Fafnir has been isolated and helpless for a long time, and has gradually lost its voice in parliament.
With the development of magic technology, the war in Bracada has changed from melee combat to fighting mainly with various magical weapons.
Those [Army Specialty] legends that were supposed to stand on Fafnir's side were gradually divided up by the other three factions.
As of now, there are only two legends left in the Warrior Faction.
Fafnir, who specializes in snake demon, and Sean, who specializes in djinn.
Recently, even Sion has shown some signs of wanting to leave the warrior faction.
Faced with this situation, even the usually arrogant Fafnir had to become anxious.
If this continues, he will really be left alone, leading himself.
If you want to change the status of the Warrior Faction, the quickest way is to defeat all your competitors and become the Speaker-General of the Bracada Grand Council.
Originally, among the leaders of the four factions, Fafonner had the least chance of being elected.
But Aged's promotion changed all that.
As the only legendary architect in the entire Bracada, if Agaide participates in the Grand Council of Bracada, he will definitely get a permanent seat directly.
Although the warrior faction is small in number, they are all the best.
Fafnir and Sean are both permanent speakers, retired leaders of the warrior faction, and the great sage Sedros who can compete with the demigod Somla.
For Fafnir, as long as Argaid joins, the number of permanent members of the Warrior Faction will exceed that of the other three factions, and he will be able to turn the tables in one fell swoop.
It was dinner time and Fafner was eating.
The plate in front of him was filled with various elemental crystal cores, including even the crystal core of the Fire Spirit.
The crystal cores of the fire elves raised by the Lamp God are extremely rare luxury items for him.
Normally, Fafner would take his time to savor his food, but today, he was not paying close attention while eating.
From time to time, he looked at the wall clock and out of the window, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
Just then, he finally heard the news he had been dreaming of.
"Lord Fafnir, a hero named Starwind is standing at the door, requesting a meeting with you."
Hearing the voice of the snake demon servant, Fafnir threw the half-absorbed fire element crystal core in his hand onto the table .
He quickly stood up and ran while saying:
"Please come in! No, I will go to greet you personally."
When Fafnir saw the seven pigeons waiting outside the castle, he stretched out his hands and called out:
"Hahaha! Little brother Xingfeng, I have waited so long for you to finally come to me.
Come on! Come in! Come in! "
Qi Ge also smiled. He quickly held Fafner's hand and said:
"Manager Fafner, sorry for disturbing you."
"No way, you're willing to come, it means you think highly of me."
Fafnir held the seventh brother's hand tightly as if he was afraid that he would run away, and pulled him into the castle.
The seven pigeons followed Fafnir, looking around along the way.
In the castle of Fafnir, the muscular Naga guards held six broad-bladed rapiers, standing straight in two rows with their eyes fixed straight ahead.
The welcoming gesture of the Naga guards sent by Fafnir to line the streets made Qi Ge more clear about his position in Fafnir's heart.
“Little brother Xingfeng, I haven’t had the chance to ask you, as a precious architect, why would you be interested in the military?
You and your teacher are both very valuable. Even if you are only slightly injured, it will be a great loss for us Bracala.
Going to the battlefield is for us rough guys, you two shouldn’t do that.”
"Favner is permanent, that's it."
Qi Ge replied calmly:
"Since I became a hero, I have been secretly following Master Aged to learn the skills of an architect, and I haven't fought for a long time.
Teacher Agaid said that although we architects are in a logistical profession, we must never forget to fight.
All heroes of the Yasa world must not forget the mission given to us by the Mother Goddess to fight against chaos.
Even logistics heroes are the same.
Only by going through the trials of blood and fire can I find the path to becoming a master more quickly in the future."
When Fafnir heard this, he was overjoyed.
He nodded vigorously and said with great appreciation:
"Good idea! Brother Xingfeng, we in Bracada need people like you who are brave enough to sacrifice and fight, not those cowardly wimps."
Fafnir patted Qi Ge's shoulder and said, "Little brother Xing Feng, I originally wanted to entertain you at home first, but since you have this idea, I will take you to visit our Bracada army first."
Qi Ge's serious face could hardly hide a hint of joy. He couldn't wait to ask, "Thank you, Mr. Fafner. Shall we set off now?"
"Good! This is the style of our army! Swift and decisive!
Brother Xingfeng, you are worthy of being a student of the Argead Legend. You are different from those wily and petty mages!
Let's go now, I'll show you my most elite Naga expeditionary force."
Fafnir took out an old but very gorgeous flying carpet, pulled the seven pigeons on it, and the flying carpet took off quickly and flew towards the Naga Expeditionary Force barracks in Thunder City.
…
…
"boom!"
Before the seventh brother landed on the flying carpet, he saw a giant naga with a human body, a snake tail and six arms fighting with a giant golden puppet.
The giant golden puppet is nearly ten meters tall, and every punch it makes on the ground can create a big hole.
The big Naga's figure was extremely agile, and she wielded the six broad-bladed and razor-sharp swords in a seamless manner.
The giant golden puppet punched the ground. The big Naga quickly dodged and wrapped its snake tail around the giant golden puppet's arm joints.
“Ding ding ding ding ding!”
The big Naga slashed six times in a row in an instant, all landing on the same place on the arm joint of the giant golden puppet.
With sparks flying, the joints of the giant golden puppet's right hand were removed!
“Crunch!”
The giant golden puppet swung its left hand quickly with a gust of wind and fell from the sky, about to slap the big Naga to death on the ground with one slap.
At this moment, the big Naga exerted force with her tail, and her body flowed like water, passing under the crotch of the giant golden puppet.
“Ding ding ding ding ding!”
The big Naga slid and used six consecutive sword strikes, breaking one of the legs of the giant golden puppet.
“Bang!”
One of the giant golden puppet's legs was removed, and its center of gravity was unstable. It fell to the ground with a loud bang, creating a big hole and sending up a cloud of dust all over the ground.
Qi Ge was fascinated and exclaimed:
“Excellent!
The Great Naga is only a level 6, rank 2 soldier, while the Giant Golden Man Puppet is a powerful level 3, rank 5 soldier.
Judging from the panel values, the giant golden puppet should be far superior to the big Naga.
But the giant golden puppet was powerless in front of the great naga."
Fafner smiled proudly, but said modestly:
"The Naga tribe is the only level 6 soldier officially recognized by our Bracada, second only to the supreme Titans.
If you don't even have this ability, how can you convince others?
It’s just some petty tricks.”
Qi Ge smiled slightly and asked in a very studious manner:
“Favona is permanent, I read it in the book.
In the ancient times of the Yasa world, before the battle space of heroes and mother goddesses was born, all creatures fought like this brave great Naga.
At that time, in addition to attributes, combat skills also determined the combat effectiveness of creatures.
Just like what the Great Naga just demonstrated, soldiers with powerful combat skills can jump across levels and defeat opponents whose basic attributes far exceed their own.
I don’t know, is it true or false?”
"Whoosh whoosh"
Fafnir's eyes widened a little and he laughed loudly.
"Brother Xingfeng, you are actually interested in combat skills?
This is really rare.
In the entire Asian world, there are not many people who know about combat skills.
Yes, there are indeed combat skills.
The Naga clan was once the most skilled military force in the Yasa world.
Since the emergence of heroes and combat spaces, small-scale battles will change under the power of the Mother Goddess.
The power of the individual will be firmly integrated with the group, and combat skills will become irrelevant.
The learning of combat skills requires great talent, and each branch of the military has a different degree of mastery of combat skills.
This results in that, after the forces of the arms are combined, the degree to which each arm has mastered combat skills has no impact on the overall situation.
Just like the fighting skill just displayed by the great Naga, it is called 'Six Lights Slash'.
When she's alone, she can attack six times in a row.
But once she teams up with any other Great Naga, she will lose the bonus of 'Six Lights Consecutive Slash'.
Even if they are both great Nagas who have mastered the 'Six Lights Slash', their mastery levels will be different from each other."
Fafner's expression was somewhat sad, and he said in a leisurely voice:
“In the past, all races spared no effort in their pursuit and admiration for combat skills, but now combat skills have been discarded.
What a pity.
Just because combat skills cannot keep up with the times doesn’t mean they are not good things.”
Qi Ge also nodded with a sigh and said:
"Yeah, what a pity. I actually really want to learn combat skills, but I can't find any books on combat skills."
Fafner's eyes lit up: "Little brother Xingfeng, do you really want to learn?"
Qi Ge nodded seriously and said, "Of course I do! Such precious knowledge and skills as combat skills should not be lost, but should be protected and passed down!"
[Favron's favorability + Favron 0, currently 50 (approved)]
Fafnir patted Qi Ge's shoulder vigorously and said, "Good boy! You really suit my taste.
In my castle, there are many combat skills suitable for humans.
Even Erathia's lost "Griffin Heart Sword Technique" is with me.
When I get back to the castle, I'll use magic to copy some for you."
Qi Ge was flattered: "How can I accept Fafonner's permanent appointment? I can't accept the reward without merit."
Fafner waved his hand indifferently and said:
"Don't say such discouraging words, and don't talk about merit or not.
I like you, that's enough."
Fafnir shouted, "Venus, come here."
The big Naga who had just chopped off the giant golden puppet turned around, looked at Fafnir and Qi Ge, and frowned.
She swam over slowly and said coldly:
“General Fafnir, the Naga Eastern Chapter is training.
Please instruct. "
Fafnir pointed at the seven pigeons and said:
“This is Xingfeng, who has come here specifically to observe the training of our Naga Expeditionary Force.
You show him around, and if there is enough time, teach him some basic knowledge about combat skills.
I'm going back to the castle to get some things."
Qi Ge was shocked. He could never have imagined that when Fafnir said he would wait for him to return to the castle, he would return now?!
Is it so vigorous and resolute?
"Favner is permanent, I'm not in a hurry."
“Oh, I’m anxious! Venus is the captain of the Eastern Division of the Naga Expeditionary Force. She can rely on her combat skills to defeat the 3rd-level Naga at only 2nd-level.
She is one of the best warriors in the entire Naga tribe.
She is more familiar with the Naga Expeditionary Force than I am.
You follow her around for a while, I'm going back."
As soon as Fafnir finished speaking, he took out the magic carpet and flew into the sky, leaving behind Venus with a grim face and the seven confused pigeons.
What is going on?
Qi Ge quickly adjusted his mentality, coughed lightly, and looked at Venus.
Venus said seriously:
"Master Starwind, if you want to see something, just let me know.
We fought fast and decisively.
I have to go back to guide the troops in training.”
Hiss, this guy seems a little difficult to get along with.
Qi Ge has a slight toothache.
…
…
At 9 a.m., the Bracada Grand Council of Thunder City held its daily morning meeting.
Escher pushed his glasses up on his nose and whispered:
"According to the principle of rotation, the anti-rebellion troops from Thunder City to the City of Plenty will be dispatched by the magic faction. Please raise your hands if you agree."
Swish, a large area was lifted up.
"Magic faction passed!"
"Logistics faction passed!"
"Industrial faction passed!"
"Warrior faction passed!"
Escher nodded and continued reading:
"According to the internal resolution of the magic faction, the command of the rebellion suppression force will be handed over to Councillor Serena.
Please raise your hands if you agree. "
Swish, another large piece was raised.
"I don't agree!"
Just then, a childish voice came from the parliament seats.
Serena stood up and met the gazes around her without fear.
