Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 188 Encounter
The bright jade plate hung high in the night, and the endless mountain ranges covered with silver snow undulated below, stretching to the far distance.

The dry, cold wind blew against the brass visor, splashing tiny frost spots.

Qin Huai soared freely in the air, enjoying the vast freedom of heaven and earth, while estimating the approximate parameters of the talisman armor on his body by the consumption of meteorological power.

[Flying Cavalry Guard] is about two meters tall, nearly three meters. Although the armor is mostly hollow, it is still more than twice as heavy as Qin Huai's high-density flesh, weighing almost half a ton.

Qin Huai estimated that if the [Flying Cavalry Guard] did not use so many biological materials, its weight would probably be much heavier.

The technical barriers are very thick.
He thought of the Wrath II with special beryllium bronze armor, [Achilles' Heel].

As early as when Qin Huai carried two sets of mobile armor into the government office, he discovered that the [Achilles' Heel] made of alloy was much heavier than the [Flying Cavalry Guard], almost as heavy as one and a half sets of rune armor (800kg).

However, such a heavy mechanical creation can still be driven by only two power cores and perform tactical movements that are not much worse than the human body.

Didn't the Minerva Agency really receive some kind of alien legacy? How could it be possible to upgrade its technology to this level in just a few years?

Qin Huai's physics expertise is as high as 69%, so he is certainly not a layman. He can be sure that no matter whether the so-called power core is a steam engine or an internal combustion engine, it is difficult to achieve a stable output of 1000 horsepower with such a small size.

But the Minerva Agency actually did it.

How did they do it?

Qin Huai frowned, feeling that there was about 70% of the meteorological force left in his body. He stretched out his cloud wings and adjusted his flying posture to gliding.

As the scenery continued to recede, the silvery frost and snow that reflected the bright moonlight gradually disappeared, and large areas of blue-black sand gradually occupied more of his field of vision.

We have arrived at Atami Clear Pond.

Looking at the huge waves and the clear lake, Qin Huai's attention was suddenly attracted by a little fire on the shore.

"Oh? Someone?"

It has been a turbulent time recently, and Qin Huai became interested when he saw the lonely fire.

The cloud wings flapped, steam gushed out, and the [Flying Cavalry Guards] immediately swooped towards the fire like a falcon.

Beside the Daqing Pond, a dozen sturdy black horses were busy eating soybean fodder mixed with blood, flesh and offal.

Beside the blazing bonfire, there were many travelers dressed as merchants, wearing loose robes and black turbans.

"Hassan, how long will it take for dinner to be ready?"

"Lord Ibrahim, it will be ready soon."

The short and fat Hu man who was cooking soup in a pot over the fire stirred with a wooden spoon, and when he saw that it was almost done, he removed a circle of dough stuck to the wall of the pot and evenly divided the mutton soup into several iron cans.

He sprinkled some precious spices on the soup pot filled with tender mutton and took it to the Hu man who had asked about it earlier.

"Sir, please use it slowly."

"Go get some cheese and fruits for Fatima. We can't go to the Tang people's villages, so we have to let her go."

"Yes, Lord Ibrahim."

A low voice sounded. The short and fat Hu man didn't dare to look up. He turned around and walked quickly towards the wooden box where the food was stored.

Ibrahim lifted the black cloth that covered most of his face, and used his strong chewing muscles to bite the pieces of bread and meat, while looking around vigilantly.

Beside him, there were a dozen burly men dressed similarly and wearing heavy cloaks.

In the luxurious carriage not far away, the shadow of a slender woman was being illuminated by the stable and even light of the mineral lamp onto the white curtains.

Suddenly, Ibrahim, who had drunk all the broth, heard his ears move and stood up abruptly.

"alert!"

Soup pots fell to the ground one after another, and burly men in heavy cloaks drew out scimitars and straight swords, and gathered around the luxurious carriage in a half-moon shape.

Ibrahim looked up into the sky with a serious expression.

High in the sky, an extremely conspicuous red light was falling towards them at a rapid speed.

The wind was howling, the scarlet shadows were like fire, and the [Flying Cavalry Guards] crashed into the river bank, stirring up dark blue sand that covered the sky.

The half-kneeling giant Skyrider stood up and took a few steps towards the Hu Shang guards who were facing a formidable enemy.

Qin Huai stopped when he was five steps away from the carriage.

"Show us your identification and customs clearance documents. Otherwise, you will die!"

The murderous words came out from under the brass mask and accurately floated into the ears of every Hu man.

Qin Huai looked at the group of strange people who were wrapped in thick black cloth, with no exposed skin except for their eyes, and became extremely alert.

Ibrahim looked at Qin Huai, who was wearing the [Flying Cavalry Guard], with fear and signaled his men to put away their swords.

"It's Mr. Tang. Please wait a moment. We will present the documents you requested immediately."

The strange and awkward Chinese spoken by Ibrahim made Qin Huai frown.

"Go and find what this gentleman wants!"

Following his order, the sturdy men in black went to the cargo tents, saddle bags and carriages in groups of three or four, looking diligently for the so-called documents.

Unfortunately, no matter how well they disguised themselves, their true colors would be revealed at the first glimpse of Yanfu walking by.

Name: Ibrahim

Position: Emir of Khorasan (Commander of the Black Caliphate Forces)

Status: Saint Descendant (Tianrui Awakens)
Expertise: Crescent Blade 89%, Alchemy 42%
Skill: Word Spirit: Blazing Sun

Threat Level: Deep Red
Note: After the sudden death of Attila, the Scourge of God who scourged Europe, the Emerald Record, a top-secret collection of the Hun Empire, mysteriously disappeared. After hundreds of years, it came into the hands of the new emperor of the Abbasid Dynasty. Under the dual influence of faith and fate, the Emerald Record awakened unimaginable power to the Arabs.

Holy descendants? Word spirits?
Qin Huai glanced around and saw that a dozen strong men in black had dispersed under the pretext of looking for documents and surrounded him.

"If you still can't find the document within thirty breaths, you will be regarded as alien spies and be beheaded immediately!"

"Mr. Tang, come right up."

Hearing Qin Huai's cold warning, Ibrahim hurriedly pulled out a small matte black square box from the bottom of the carriage.

[Wind Box]: Made of light and flexible wind metal, it is often used to store precious documents or treasures. Qin Huai walked closer holding the [Wind Box] in black gloves, raised his forearm wrapped in the iron fingers of the Fu Jia, and reached out to the small box.

Bang!
A sound similar to that of a bubble bursting was heard, and the dark night was suddenly illuminated into day. A small sun with tens of thousands of lumens suddenly exploded in front of Qin Huai's eyes without any warning.

Under such strong light, Ibrahim seemed to be completely unaffected. He opened the bellows and picked up a short-barreled musket with a large caliber, pointing the muzzle directly at Qin Huai's neck.

Can opener!

The trigger was pulled, and a violent explosion and bright light instantly swept across the entire camp.

He couldn't see, couldn't hear, and the armor-piercing bullets containing red mercury were right in front of him. No matter how he looked at it, Qin Huai was doomed to die.

If Qin Huai was just an ordinary armored knight, he would have no way to deal with the killing spree carefully arranged by Khorasan.

But, when traveling in Jambudvīpa, there are always infinite possibilities!
A golden-red cloud tail suddenly appeared to protect the head and face. After the armor-piercing cone bullet pierced through the multiple protections, it had no strength to continue. It was bounced by the neck collar and fell powerlessly onto the sand, making a slightly muffled sound.

How can it be?

Ibrahim's heart was shaking, but he decisively dropped his gun and drew his sword. While the scorching sun was still on, he stabbed Qin Huai's weakest glass eyepiece with his sword.

The black-clad men around him, who were dressed like him, were also busy. They picked up rough and sturdy mechanical devices from everywhere and fired bullets at the huge crimson shadow in the center of the camp.

Relying on the intuition he had developed from fighting with the virtual image of the True Lord in the Dharma Transmission Space, Qin Huai narrowly avoided the flames that were wantonly spewing out of the rotating musket. He turned around and a 14-foot-long Dragon Gallbladder Silver Spear appeared out of thin air and whipped towards Ibrahim who was right in front of him like a silver snake.

clang!
The crescent blade and the broken cloud were entangled, and Ibrahim looked at the water blade that seemed like a living thing, thinking that it was not good. But before he could withdraw, the silver-purple spear blade had already chopped his ribs and chopped him off alive.

"Fire coverage!"

The men in black lifted their cloaks and threw dozens of melon-sized iron cans towards Qinhuai, trying to attack Wei from the rear.

The Arabs also have grenades?
Qin Huai's eyes narrowed, red mercury vapor surged in his right chest, the [Flying Cavalry Guard] slightly bent his knees, and in an instant he leaped several meters into the air, away from the center of the explosion.

Qin Huai glanced at Ibrahim, who was parked on the cargo tent but still full of energy, and his mind moved. The three thunder talismans on his chest all turned into ashes.

The roaring dragon thunder fell, and several strong men in black who were holding rapid-fire muskets were instantly blasted into charcoal, and the finely crafted mechanical creations were also shattered into ashes.

"Inshallah!"

Ibrahim roared, his eyes flashed with a terrifying golden light, and the round pupils of mammals turned into vertical pupils like dragons and snakes.

"Inshallah!"

The few remaining strong men in black also shouted loudly, took out clay jars of uniform shape from their bodies, stuffed them into their mouths, and swallowed them together with the bloody pottery fragments.

The roars of beasts that did not sound like human voices rang out together, and Qin Huai's heart was filled with alarm.

Can't delay any longer.

The bright silver spear suddenly raised its head, Qin Huai jumped and chopped, and the silver-purple spear blade slashed towards Ibrahim, whose body had swelled three times.

Ibrahim pulled out a meter-long serrated heavy sword from somewhere, rolled over to avoid the spear tip, and immediately raised his hand and stabbed Qin Huai's crotch with the tip of the sword from a vicious angle.

"die!"

Qin Huai roared like a tiger, raised his knee to block the serrated heavy sword, and shot out seven or eight spear beams from the Dragon Gallbladder Spear, pointing directly at the vital points of the man in black.

puff~
The sound of flesh being pierced by the metal gun tip continued to be heard. Looking at the horrifying blood holes deep enough to see the bones, Qin Huai's eyes were strange. He turned his wrist and thrust forward. Ibrahim was pierced by the gun blade and picked up, then thrown towards his men in black.

boom!
An invisible air bomb suddenly exploded beside his ear, causing Qin Huai to freeze and feel dizzy.

The Spirit of Words: Yin Thunder!
A man in black holding a revolving musket had hot and golden eyes. It was obvious that he was the one who had made the air bomb just now.

Ibrahim struggled to get up, dark golden blood oozing from the wounds on his body. Countless hideous granulations were growing and entangled wildly, trying their best to repair the badly damaged body.

"Fatima!"

The men in black raised their muskets and fired wildly at the giant crimson shadow. While suppressing the fire, they used all kinds of strange and bizarre supernatural powers in an attempt to hold Qin Huai back.

Fireball, airblast, wind blade.
Along with the roar of gunfire, the luxurious steel door opened, and a classical beauty in a black robe stepped out slowly, appearing in front of Qin Huai as if teleporting.

Looking at the beautiful woman with smooth lines and shining like a full moon, Qin Huai's mind was inevitably dazed for a moment. But then, a ferocious iron hand covered with auspicious steam suddenly stretched out, and a heavy punch hit the woman's forehead!

Time seemed to be stretched out. The woman turned sideways leisurely, her veil gently blown by the wind from her fist. She pulled out a small silver knife and stabbed Qin Huai's eyes.

Roar!
A corpse roared, and the [Black Corpse Coffin] smashed behind the woman, and its gray-white claws dug straight into the woman's back.

The woman raised her beautiful eyebrows, swayed her steps, and floated to Ibrahim's side in a flash.

Time returned to normal, the red giant fist and the gray corpse claws intersected, and both sides were almost injured.

Qin Huai's eyes flashed with green light, and black ripples kept bouncing off the woman's body.

Name: Fatima
Position: Emir of the Khorasan Assassins (Commander of the Black Caliphate Assassins)
Status: Witch
Specialization: Assassination 82%, Disguise 72%
Skill: Word Spirit Time Zero
Threat Level: Deep Red
Note: By chance, he awakened the power to control time, but unfortunately he died soon.

Time Zero. The power to manipulate time?
Qin Huai frowned, thinking of the Flying Yaksha who had not been affected just now, and seemed to have realized something.

"on!"

When the Flying Yaksha received the order, a set of ancient frost armor immediately appeared around his body. He threw several underworld talismans out of thin air towards the crowd, exploding large groups of poisonous Taiyin corpse qi.

Ignoring the Flying Yaksha who was fighting with the man in black under gunfire, the steam backpack on the back of the [Flying Cavalry Guard] was running at full capacity. A huge amount of red mercury steam was transported to the power core along the whalebone hose, erupting with unimaginable surging power.

The [Flying Cavalry Guards] made a loud bang, as if something exploded in their chests. The fish-scale armor plates all over Qin Huai's body glowed with a faint green light. A huge cloud of steam completely enveloped his body. The steam holes on the [Flying Cavalry Guards'] lower back and limbs no longer spewed out steam, but golden-red flames!

The fiery red light streamed like a meteorite falling from the sky, cutting through the steam cloud. The blade at the end of the spear drew an arc seven or eight meters long in the air. However, the black-robed woman Fatima was prepared. The sluggish invisible field opened again, and at the same time, the sharp mithril knife slashed towards Qin Huai's neck.

Looking at the classical beauty who looked into his eyes with cold expression, Qin Huai's mouth curled up slightly under the brass mask.

In the Niwan Palace, the eight-headed god with eight legs and eight tails roared to the sky, and a bright green light pierced directly into the woman's golden vertical pupils.

Mirror pupil divine light!

The spear of the Flying Cavalry Guard suddenly went from being extremely still to extremely moving, brushing past the woman's slender waist and smashing the white jade and cold porcelain-like vertebrae and flesh into pieces.

As graceful as a startled swan, yet indestructible!
The heavy alloy boots landed on the woman's left chest, crushing her heart. Qin Huai looked at the people in black who were still struggling, and a stack of talismans appeared in his hand.

It’s just fire coverage, I can do that too!
