Lord of War

  When Sean rushed to the stable area, he was completely swallowed by the monstrous flames.

  The entire stable area was buried in the sea of ​​fire, not only the horses of the pack carts, but even the three hundred war horses were not spared.

  The three hundred heavy cavalry under the command of Baron Ronnies circled in a circle, erected their shields and spears, layered on top of each other, looking like a hedgehog. However, when Sean saw the circular formation, what he saw at first sight was not how precise and standard the formation of the circular formation was, but the attire on these heavy cavalrymen was completely different from the standard configuration of normal heavy cavalry. Because the armor on them is not a standard heavy armor.

  Furthermore, heavy cavalry on the battlefield has always been responsible for charging and cutting the enemy's formation, and speeding up the enemy's rout by attacking the enemy's morale, so they are generally equipped with heavy guns and knight swords. The former is dedicated to the charge to cut the enemy formation, and the latter is used in close combat after the charge fails to penetrate the enemy formation and is frozen. How can heavy cavalry be equipped with heavy shields, which is obviously a cumbersome thing? And it's a standard square shield. Although this type of shield is the lightest among the large shields, it's also compared to other large shields.

In addition, the armor on these heavy cavalry is obviously thinner, and it should be a special armor between the chain armor and the plate armor. Sean remembers it clearly, in terms of the smelting technology of this era. , Armor armor is divided into light armor type and heavy armor type with lock armor and plate armor as the line. Like this kind of product between light armor and heavy armor, at least it should be officially in Magic Device Technology Will appear after popularization.

  And once the cavalry loses its mount, it basically loses its existence value completely. After all, the cavalry is no better than the knight. The former was born with a system of arms after all, and received more professional training. What's more, the combat power of the knight without a mount is at least reduced by more than one-third, let alone lost. Mounted cavalry.

  However, the special situation of these heavy cavalry at the moment really makes Sean feel puzzled and puzzled.

But the only thing that is certain is that these heavy cavalry are by no means as simple as they seem on the surface. They at least have a certain degree of infantry fighting ability. Unlike regular heavy cavalry, they are just an immovable tin can when they are dismounted. That's it.

   And seeing these heavy cavalry even holding up shields to resist attacks from above, it is obvious that Cecilia has just tried to launch a magical attack from above.

After sweeping the battlefield situation, Sean did not see the figure of Baron Ronnies, and immediately understood that this baron was only afraid that he was protected by these heavy cavalry, and if he wanted to catch him, he would have to tear it. Just open this circle. In fact, if it weren’t for William’s naming to be captured alive, with Cecilia’s current strength, he could use a few more powerful magics, and then directly burn all of this group of people, which would require a stalemate like the present one. write.

When    was thinking like this, a cold light suddenly shone, and a blast made a blast, exploding countless criss-crossing sharp air currents in the air, making several cracks in the ground.

  The two silhouettes separated from it, one on the left and the right retreated to the side of Baron Ronnis’s Three Hundred Heavy Cavaliers and the steel wings that also protected Cecilia.

  The figure on the right is naturally Xuefanio.

Unlike the image that Sean had seen before, Xuefanio's long hair, which was originally just bundled randomly, has been changed to a long pony tail, and the color is much lighter than before. It was originally light blue. His eyes gradually changed to sapphire blue, and the whole person looked cold and cold, with a somewhat subdued taste. However, Sean knew very well that this was not a goddess, but a certain state of performance when the priest with a sword, which is unique to the Church of the Goddess of Ice and Winter, entered a state of battle.

   Xuefanio enters the winter fighting state?

The goddess of Ice and Snow and Winter have been silent for so long that no one knows these secrets at all, but Sean has had more in-depth exchanges with Xuefanio before and is very clear about some of the goddess’ situation. , So he also knows that believers who believe in the goddesses of ice and snow and winter will have two special fighting states.

  The ice and snow combat state only available to full-time magicians and the winter combat state only available to full-time combatants.

  The opponent who can make Xuefanio serious is definitely not an ordinary opponent, and Sean couldn't help but turn his attention to Xuefanio's opponent.

  That is a swordsman who looks very young.

  His momentum is very calm. Although he has a slight frown, his face is calm as before, and his breathing is normal. He is not impetuous due to successive failures of the attack, especially the right hand holding the sword, not even a trace of tremor.

  From the attire of this young man, Sean can tell that this is a fast swordsman who follows the agile development route.

  Although this profession can be regarded as the same origin as the Storm Swordsman, they are not as extreme as the Storm Swordsman. This professional system pursuing speed flow has an extended faction after Tier 4, and it began to pursue the speed of shots, which is the so-called attack speed in the game, instead of just unilaterally pursuing the lightness of the limit of the body's load. Therefore, The profession of fast swordsman was born.

  But in fact, this profession has always been very controversial in the game at the beginning, because the pure agility value can make this profession almost invincible, but it is just undefeated. And because of the pursuit of shooting speed, the weapons that can be used by this class are only Western thorn swords, and the direction that can be selected and changed is not even as good as that of the Storm Swordsman. In addition, the negative effects of low strength and low endurance are added. In the case of a protracted battle, the pressure on the fast swordsman is very high, and because of the lack of strength, it is also difficult for the fast swordsman to cause "break-through" damage to other professions.

  In a way, the fast swordsman is actually more of an assassin-like occupation, because they pursue a precise assassination in an instant. At least Sean knows very well that the professional talent of this class is to assassinate the vital parts-the game manifests eight times the damage to the vital parts. Although it sounds terrible, because the vital damage is four times more than the normal, but for those who wear As far as the tin can of armor is concerned, this kind of attack is completely meaningless.

  All the vital points are under protection, how can the fast swordsman have a chance to stab? Moreover, the damage of the Western stabbing sword among all sword weapons is the lowest, none of them.

  Just like the current situation, Cecilia is hiding in the tiers of northern barbarians protection circle, this fast swordsman can not break through this protection circle, and thus cause any practical damage to Cecilia. The soldier who was supposed to cooperate with this fast swordsman was also in a deadlock because of Cecilia's magic. They could only resist and protect passively, and could not organize an effective counterattack at all.

   Coupled with the surrounding sea of ​​fire, the only breakthrough route is firmly occupied by Cecilia, thus forming the current stalemate.

Sean’s arrival was so powerful that he couldn’t keep anyone from hiding. It’s just that the fast swordsman didn’t dare to be distracted at all, because Xuefanio’s overall strength was actually slightly better than him. It’s just combat awareness and There is still some lack of experience, coupled with his extremely fast shooting speed, he can even achieve four or five more attack levels than the opponent at the same time, so he can barely maintain the current unbeaten situation.

   But even so, it made him feel unusually frightened.

Dyson naturally knows his situation. He looks young, but he is actually a middle-aged man of 35 or 6 years old. He is only one step away from the next level of gold. But when will this difference be broken? But I have no bottom in my heart. Once a person is over forty and his physical functions begin to decline in all aspects, it will only be more difficult for him to break through to the golden realm in the future.

  Only after reaching the golden realm, can it slow down the decline of body functions, thus impacting the higher realm.

  But now this opponent, even if you don't have to guess, he knows that the opponent's age must be very young, but so young is not less than his own strength, which makes Dyson really jealous. And the most incredible thing is that the opponent is actually a priest with a knife, but his strength is completely different from what Dyson understands, because although the magical magic the opponent uses is very similar to the magical magic of the Ice Church, it is just Just like it!

   Is it a new **** who wants to take the godhead from the **** of ice?

Unlike Dyson’s caution, Xuefanio saw Sean’s arrival and stood up naturally, but her winter fighting state was not relieved. After all, in this fighting state, her attention And the reaction power will be higher. Because in her eyes, Sean’s strength is actually very weak, and the speed of the opponent has already caused her a lot of suffering. She is very worried that the opponent will suddenly choose to attack Sean, so she almost pays all attention to it. The power was concentrated on Dyson.

  This naturally made Dyson feel the increased pressure.

  However, this kind of small aura suppressed, Sean would naturally not pay attention to it. In fact, even if the fast swordsman launched a surprise attack on him, he would not care. Because it is impossible for the opponent to kill himself directly, this distance is enough for him to activate the two skills of Light Body Surgery and Adrenal Stimulation.

   "How is Baron Ronnis?" Sean said suddenly.

"I thought I had valued you enough, but I didn't expect to find out that I still didn't pay enough attention to you in the end. It seems that the outside world has done a very incomplete work on your intelligence, and I didn't even inquire about the high-level silver masters in your territory. Coming out, it looks like Sir Connery is really a master of card skills." Baron Ronnis was hiding in the protective circle of those heavy cavalry. His voice was a bit weak, and Sean speculated that he was injured. , So he looked at Cecilia's side.

"He is injured." Cecilia and Sean looked at each other, and immediately saw the question in Sean's eyes. "Sister Xuefanio pierced his shoulder blade with a sword, but the wound has been sealed with magical magic. , He will only get weaker and weaker, but it will not be fatal."

"I don't know who your Excellency belongs to Sir Connery?" Baron Ronnies said with a strong sigh, but still refuses to abandon the slightest aristocratic frame at the current level. "I can see through my weakness so easily, and also Sending so many masters, priests with swords and magicians, I really didn't lose in this battle."

   "I'm down to Sean Connery." Sean said in a deep voice.

"Unexpectedly, it was Sir Connery himself. It seems that I should be honored. Everyone regards Sir Connery as an arrogant lord who doesn’t understand anything, and seems to be blinded by your illusion. ."

"I'm really arrogant, I don't deny that." Xiao En smiled indifferently, "It's just that I have a lot of capable people under my command. Just like this time, the person who really sees through your weaknesses is not me, or even us. Anyone who comes at this moment is my strategist, William Yale.... In fact, before we arrived here, he had already told us how to defeat you, even if you would come to the stable area, it would be too early. It’s within his calculations.” At this point, Sean’s voice suddenly fell cold, and he shouted: “Baron Ronnies, you have lost this war. If you are willing to surrender, then I will treat it according to the rules of a noble war. You. But if you insist on not surrendering, then don't blame me for failing to follow the rules."

   "If I want to leave, do you think you can really stop it?" Ronnis let out a laugh.

"You can give it a try." Although Sean looked relaxed, his gaze stayed on these heavy cavalry. Generally speaking, when he heard that he was abandoned as cannon fodder by the lord, his morale would inevitably drop. This is A good opportunity to break through. But here, Sean didn't see these heavy cavalry showing any signs of decline. Instead, their aura became more cohesive. This is no longer the concept of ordinary soldiers, but can be called personal guards or even dead soldiers.

"I stayed, originally just want to see the level of the people who shot tonight, so as to remind my other allies." Lonnis suddenly let out a loud laugh, "Otherwise, you really think it's just you. Can people stop me?...Dyson!"

I saw that the fast swordsman who was still confronting Xuefanio suddenly leaped back, and quickly retreated towards the protection circle of the heavy cavalry. These heavy cavalry immediately let the master escape into the protection circle by opening an aisle. . And as the fast swordsman named Dyson retreated, the aisle quickly closed, making Sean and Xuefanio who wanted to attack both to lose their chances.

  The next moment, I saw a figure suddenly leapt out from the other side of the protection circle, actually planning to rush through the sea of ​​fire and take the road!

With the strength of this fast swordsman, Sean believes that he can indeed do it. Although he brought one that will affect his speed, but there are three hundred heavy cavalry in front of him who can stand in the way regardless of life and death. Sean and Xuefanio Even if you ignore these people and go around, you will inevitably be delayed for a while. At that time, in this dim night, even if Sean is faster than the opponent, in which direction will he chase?

"go back!"

   Just then, there was a roar of anger like thunder, and it exploded suddenly.

   Immediately afterwards, a cold light broke through the air.

This cold light was extremely vigorous, almost as violent as a void storm. Under the pressure of this cold light, the flames that burned extremely hard were completely suppressed to one side, just like being blown by a strong wind. And like the reed field passing by.

Dyson's pupils, who was dragging Baron Ronnies with one hand, suddenly shrank, and his rushing figure couldn't help but stagnate. The sudden fall of his right foot almost produced a strong storm, which completely trampled the flames that had come down. Extinguished, and then quickly withdrew at an extremely fast speed. If he was the only one, he would certainly not be afraid, and even dare to fight with him, but with one person, Dyson didn't dare to confront him at all and had to choose the path.

  Quick Swordsman doesn’t win by strength!

   But even if Dyson wanted to escape by choosing a path, he might not be able to escape easily.

I saw that Rena, who broke through the wall of fire and swept over with great momentum, was still in the air, and suddenly turned the gun horizontally, and a more fierce fiery red momentum spread out like a half-round crescent moon, covering a sufficient area. It is nearly ten meters wide!

  Crescent-like vindictive energy ran all the way, wherever it went, the flames were extinguished, the ground was cracked, and the momentum was unparalleled for a while.

  Dyson was really horrified this time. With his left hand, he threw Lonnis backwards and couldn't care about whether the baron would be injured like this. The explosion of this fighting spirit is equivalent to a high-ranking silver master's full blow, which can't help Dyson look down, and the right hand stabbing sword suddenly pierced out, the light and shadow from the stabbing sword just appeared, and the second stabbing The light and shadow of the sword emerged, and the light and shadow of the first stabbing sword had just stabilized in the air, and the third sword shadow appeared again. When the first sword shadow began to gradually dissipate, there were as many as eight sword shadows in the air!

  Nine swords in one second!

  In an instant, Dyson raised a sword curtain, densely packed. And every sword shadow also has a wave of vindictiveness. Although its power is very weak, it can't stop his attacks. When Dyson retreated five meters, the crimson crescent moon vindictiveness was finally completely defeated, but For Dyson, the consumption of this one is indeed not light, but after all, he is a master of the upper silver pinnacle, and he can still keep his face unchanged.

  But the right hand, which was stable as before, began to tremble slightly.

  This made Dyson's face become a little gloomy, and his murderous aura became a lot stronger, and the look at Rina became extremely unkind.

  Another talented person at a young age!

  Dyson felt extremely dissatisfied in his heart. He has today’s achievements because he climbed out of countless lives and deaths. It was the return of countless blood and sweat. Therefore, he hates the so-called genius and also hates those with outstanding talents. If possible, Once he met such a person, he wanted to kill him completely on the spot. So when he saw that Rina had already stepped half of her foot into the upper silver, he had a very strong killing intent.

  If possible, he even wanted to kill Xuefanio, but unfortunately he really couldn't beat Xuefanio, so the resentment towards Xuefanio was naturally passed on to Rina.

At this moment, because of her super performance, Rina issued a full blow that was equivalent to a high-level silver master. The fighting energy in her body was completely consumed, which made her unable to use fighting energy again in the next battle. As a result, she Only one-third of his strength remains. But this time, it is also extremely important for Rina, because at least she understands the difference between the lower silver and the upper silver, she is sure that she can step into the upper silver in a short time!

  Lonnis’s face finally could no longer maintain the tranquility before, but he looked surprised.

According to the current information circulating in the aristocratic circle, the evaluation of the new pioneering knight under the Marquis of Asuna is only that the potential is good, but if it is threatening, it is not great. Anyway, it is more focused on serving under him. One person: Angry Lion Alfred. This commander like a **** of war has proven his strength through thousands of miles of journeys. Although it seems that there is no hope of being promoted to a gold rank powerhouse, it is nothing at all for the Kingdom of Darbion, which lacks famous generals. thing.

  So Ronnis actually knew very well that the territory of the Kingdom of Darbion is now considering whether it is possible to **** this man named Alfred over.

  So basically all intelligence work is around Alfred, and this time they inquired that Alfred was not in Panda’s leadership. It is precisely because of this that they will be so blatantly stationed at the border, ready to quickly break the Bandar collar before Alfred returns, and at the same time test Alfred’s bottom line to see if there is a chance. Invite him over, and if not, then re-plan the action against him, at least not to add another fierce general to the Principality of Ryan.

  Only Ronnis did not focus on Alfred.

  He knew very well that an unruly and rebellious person like Alfred would definitely not be able to be subdued so easily, so the new lord of Pandaren must have something extraordinary. But what Lonnis didn't expect, he consciously had once again raised the lord and his strength by two steps to measure, but he still didn't expect to underestimate him!

  A lower-rank silver magician is not terrible, but there is actually a higher-rank silver priest with a knife, which is really against common sense!

The members of the churches of the gods in the world have never intervened in disputes between nobles. Even if a lord spends money to hire priests or priests to help him, they will act together in adventures or other actions, but once When it comes to wars between two nobles, these priests and priests usually do not take action, not to mention priests with swords who have a higher status than priests and priests. This was also the reason why Ronnis was puzzled, and he could only think that it was some kind of secret agreement between the lord and the priest with the knife, only this time.

  This kind of thing is not uncommon, and many powerful temples will come out to make some extra money in battle.

  After this war, Lonnis also felt that it was necessary to remind other allies, especially the Boulder family, that this lord definitely had enough attention. However, it was not until the appearance of Rena that Ronnie realized that he had underestimated the opponent again. He could not see the true strength and situation of Rena, but from the situation of the blow just now, he could probably judge that it was a one. A high-ranking silver master.

A magician at the pinnacle of silver, a master of silver, plus an Alfred, Ronnis suddenly discovered that this lord named Sean Connery seemed to have a high-end combat power that seemed to be comparable. The earl family of a few years ago. But if it is only high-end combat power, Lonnis still has a great chance of winning. At least such a few masters can rely on the army's group power to kill. Although the loss may be slightly heavy, the soldier's Training is definitely much simpler than the recruitment of masters.

  This is like the training and cost of an elite unit and a cannon fodder unit.

  But Alfred is more than just high-end combat power. His commanding ability is also not inferior. This is a record of eight wins. But Lonnis listened to Sean’s tone just now. The real military operations leader in his territory was a man named William Yale. This made Lonnis feel a little frightened. He then contacted the previous four territories and was responsible for spying on intelligence. The commander...Lonnis suddenly broke into a cold sweat.

  Sir Sean Connery’s commander is full of talents!

  The sentence "I have a lot of capable people under my command" is definitely not an arrogant statement, but he really has the strength to say such a thing.

A magician at the lower silver pinnacle, a priest with a sword at the upper silver pinnacle, a gunner who seems to have the same upper silver strength, and a fierce general who not only has the lower silver strength but also excellent command ability, plus one A commander in command with military attainments no less than Alfred.

  Such talents, whoever comes out, is qualified to be the guests of the great marquis families of the Kingdom of Darbion, especially Alfred and William, who are also qualified to become the talents of the five dukes in the kingdom fighting to break the head. But now, they are all gathered under the command of a jazz.

  A jazz!

  Not even aristocrats!

  Lonnis suddenly had an urge to vomit blood.

  If you let him know that Sean also attaches great importance to the cultivation of talents, and in the future, there will be Stalin, Aldolf, and Knok who can grow to be able to stand alone in the military. What kind of reaction will it be? And in terms of high-end combat effectiveness, Sean does hide two cards that have not yet been revealed: Anno and Dini.

It’s hard to say that the former has to step into the golden realm, but there is absolutely no problem with the upper silver pinnacle; and if the latter can step into the silver realm, then her future achievements will never be too low. Sanctuary is hard to say, four Top gold before the age of ten is definitely safe.

  What Shaun lacks right now is time!

  A azure blue light shone on Rina's body, which made Rina's pale face slightly rosy.

  Divine Art!

   Seeing this azure blue brilliance, Dyson, who was already about to rush out, abruptly stopped the thought of rushing out, but the hilt of the sword was gripped tighter. He doesn't know what the effect of this magical technique is, but seeing the slightly ruddy look on the opponent's face, it is obvious that the strength is slightly restored, which means that the opponent can never be killed by a single move, and as long as she can sustain it. If he stays in a round of attacks, then he will be in trouble.

  In the next second, Dyson's eyes were almost about to breathe fire.

  I saw another blue brilliance flashing on Rena's body one by one.

Ice armor, ice aura, ice and snow will, Aswinter vitality, winter's fury... Seven or eight magic arts are directly applied to Rina's body, and there is even room for rejuvenation to take a breath. no.

Dyson had already seen the two divine arts of   Ice Armor and Ice Aura, but Dyson's eyes were discredited by the subsequent series of divine arts that were displayed. He hadn’t seen these magic arts at all, let alone what the effects of these magic arts were, but seeing that Rena was radiant at this moment, Dyson didn’t fight it again in an instant. Mentality.

The goddess of ice and snow and winter is really silent for too long, so long that many people have forgotten that this high **** was not a role in the ranks of the gods, otherwise, how dare to fight with Ares, the **** of war? Godhead?

  Winter's Wrath and Frost Will are the magical skills that are produced after one of the godhead fragments that the goddess of ice and winter, Aswinter snatched from Ares, merged into his own godhead system. One of these two magic arts is to strengthen the power of weapons, and the other is to greatly strengthen one's own pain resistance. Together with the physical defense of ice armor and the special effect of ice aura to slow down the opponent, it is equivalent to saying Rina's combat ability has completely finished K Dyson.

  The magical technique of vitality is very common, but the effects of the vitality of each **** are not the same.

  Es Wentel’s vitality can squeeze the latent power remaining in the victim's body, which is equivalent to overdrawing the physical energy and generating vindictiveness. For Rina at this moment, it is simply the most useful magic technique!

  I have to say that Dyson's judgment on danger is indeed very keen. If he rushed forward at that time, then the current result must be predictable.

  It's just that Dyson doesn't attack, it doesn't mean that Rina will forget it.

  She has half-footed into the realm of high-ranking silver, so it is natural to experience as much of the high-ranking silver as possible. At this moment, when the spear is picked, the blue flames burning at the tip of the spear follow, and a faint blue light trail is emitted. This sophisticated spear is endowed with Winter's Wrath and is more powerful than ordinary high-quality weapons. To be even better, especially the ice damage attached to it, is even more irresistible.

  As soon as the spear was raised, the whole person flew towards Dyson. Xuefanio, who was on the side, also approached at the same time, and had a back and forth strike with Rina!

  Ryan, who was born as a mercenary, is a knight by profession, but she does not have some of the rigid spirit of a knight because of this. She will not pay attention to the spirit of one-on-one justice in this kind of battle.

The only pity is that Rina is good at using long spears, and Dyson’s Western thorn sword is not a head-to-head type, so the confrontation between the two hardly needs to be too close, but Rina’s ice halo seems a little frilled. . But even if this ice halo is just a decoration, the Winter's Fury on the tip of the gun is not a decoration. Dyson tried to open it with a sword, and after half of the sword was covered with frost, he never dared to use it again. The sword went to touch the tip of Rena's gun.

  The blade of the Western thorn sword is originally thin and thin, and the texture is relatively light. After being covered with frost, it will become more fragile. If it is destroyed with brute force at this time, it is likely to cause the result of folding the sword. Under the mouse bid, Dyson, who was originally strong enough to beat Rina, was a little restrained, and it looked like he was feeding Rina to accelerate her growth.

  In this situation, after Xuefanio joined, it became even more one-sided.

Because Xuefanio has already lifted the fighting state of Winter, and then put herself on the same magical state as Rina—this is a peculiar aspect of the Church of Snow and Winter, like the fighting state of Snow and Winter and the fighting state of Winter , Can be regarded as a certain kind of buff state, which can strengthen one's own combat ability and magical power, but once such a combat state is turned on, it is impossible to put any magical magic on oneself, which is incomprehensible.

  Since Rina’s ice aura is ineffective, Xuefanio puts himself in a melee fight with Dyson, which can also suppress and slow down his speed. I didn’t do this before because Dyson’s combat experience and consciousness were too rich. Xuefanio had to rely on the focus given by Winter’s combat state to be able to barely suppress Dyson’s attack speed, but at this moment and Rina both Join forces to deal with Dyson alone, then she naturally does not need to maintain the fighting state of Winter.

  Dyson’s defeat here is only a matter of time. It depends on when he can't bear to abandon Baron Ronnis and flee.

  If he is determined to escape, Rina and Xuefanio really can't stop them.

   Is it just Sean that makes him so easy?

  After turning on the light body technique and adrenal stimulation, Sean joined the battle without hesitation. Originally, Dyson was seeing Sean taking a shot, and there was a hint of joy in his heart. After all, Sean’s strength is too low. He can use this as a breakthrough to force the opponent to throw a rat, but he didn't expect it to be just a moment ago. As soon as they met, Dyson was so scared that he almost exclaimed. The pressure on him by Sean was even greater than that of Rina and Xuefanio combined!

  This is definitely the strength that only the gold class can have!

  Sean, within three minutes, indeed has the strength equivalent to a gold-level powerhouse.

   And since he has joined the battle, it is natural to completely kill Dyson within three minutes.

  The high-end combat power here is fighting the battle, and Baron Ronnies is completely unable to intervene, because what he needs to face next is a siege from a magician and more than 400 heavy infantry. The change in the situation was completely beyond his expectation, which also made Ronnis no longer have any chances, and was completely determined to fight it out here.

  But as soon as the armies of the two sides confronted each other, Ronnis' pupils shrank suddenly.
