Chapter 258 The All-Seeing Eye
The screams echoed in their ears, and the mercenaries tried their best to open their eyes wide. When they saw the scorched-skinned companion in their field of vision, they didn't realize what happened for a while...
To be honest, everything that happened in this instant made the two parties who were about to conflict freeze in place in astonishment. For a full minute, they were all staring at the meaning of all this in front of them.
Some people were puzzled, some were confused, but Leslie clearly felt that... her heart was being eaten away by a gradually spreading fear.
As the head of the mercenary group, Leslie could be considered "well-informed". He didn't know what the three birds that suddenly appeared above his head were, but he knew very well what it meant to be able to shoot them down.
"Archery" is just a broad vocabulary. For laymen, the most intuitive manifestation of "good archery" is "accurate shooting". As long as it is accurate, everything else doesn't matter. One can deny this.
But being able to shoot high-speed moving targets in the sky on the back, this kind of "archery" can definitely be called "entering the room"-modern people can always hear allusions and idioms such as "bending a bow and shooting a big eagle" or "killing two birds with one arrow", I always feel that it is not difficult to shoot down the hawks in the sky, and it is something that can be done by raising one's hand.
In fact, even a skilled archer who has been trained for more than five years can hardly have much confidence in shooting a target in the air: difficult to estimate the distance, difficult to calculate the arrow parabola, small size of the target, moving speed, arrow speed, wind speed and even arrow speed. The direction of rotation of the arrow has far more than usual accuracy requirements for shooting air targets, and the farther the target is, the more these effects will increase geometrically.
Veteran hunters dare not say that they can hit 30% of the wild geese flying 30 meters away, but in this dark night with extremely low visibility, windy and the target distance exceeds 40 meters, Leslie does not believe it at all. Someone can shoot a target like this
But the facts in front of him forced him to realize a problem: that "sharp archer" who is said to be a hundred hits and chased hundreds of people by himself may really exist.
Looking at the two figures holding short bows, Leslie's back was drenched in cold sweat almost immediately.
But what made him feel even more flustered was the symptoms of the fallen mercenary behind him... Someone had burn marks under the "Holy Light Spell". Everyone knew what it meant...
"Dead... Undead"
Someone finally reacted from the series of changes, and retreated from the wailing mercenary with a strange scream. His action aroused everyone's panic, and the crowd dispersed in an instant, leaving only standing there with a livid face. Leslie and the smoking mercenary.
Among other things, John the butler from the Luciferon family is extremely sensitive to the word "undead". He fixed his eyes on that figure, but turned his head and said to Soderol, "Your Excellency, is there any help?" Order, all undead in the territory, shoot and kill."
This is not a tone of discussion, it is reminding Soderol: If you don't do it right away, I will do it for you
His words made Leslie feel more unbelievable than Roddy's arrow and the undead on the ground... The Duke's order? Who will mention the Duke's order here?
At this moment, Leslie has completely lost his thoughts before coming here... He took a step back, thinking about the previous identity of this "undead" subordinate--the other party was one of his capable deputies, one of Dawei's deputy heads. The next thing is that he has the most right to speak, and thinking of his origin, Leslie couldn't help but shiver...
This screaming subordinate was the one recommended by the pharmacist who gave him a "strategic policy" to join the regiment two years ago
Difficult, is the pharmacist also an undead?
Leslie's mind was in a mess, and he carefully recalled the "big events" that the pharmacist had cooperated with him. He suddenly realized...it seems that his smooth sailing these years is not because of "good luck", but because of several key events. It is only with the help of the other party that we have achieved today's achievements
What do successful people fear most? It is not the strength of the enemy, nor is it that he is powerless in the face of difficulties, but that he suddenly realizes a fact at a certain moment: his so-called "strength" is just an illusion carefully arranged by others...
Leslie's lips trembled, and he looked blankly at Suo Deluoer and others, stammering and trying to explain: "This, this guy has been lurking in my mercenary group for so long, and today he finally..."
"enough.
"
Suo Deluoer originally had various alternative plans to deal with these guys, but what happened just now made him realize that there are more urgent problems to be solved now, so he immediately drew his sword and went to Chao Lai without any nonsense. Slee slashed past - "Collude with the undead, intending to attack the nobles, traitors must die"
Amidst the angry shouts, Suo Deluoer had already fought against Leslie.
On the one hand, there is an astonishingly talented descendant of the ghost knight, and on the other hand, a mercenary who is panicked and has no fighting spirit. He kicked and flew out.
The mercenaries were in an uproar, and the scene fell into chaos in an instant. They rushed up to help, but they didn't dare to do anything, because the three words "traitor" and the still struggling undead had brought them too much impact. We can't fight against the same enemy like before...
On the noisy and dim battlefield, Rody held the short bow in his hand, facing the group of mercenaries who were about to move, but he had no intention of shooting. He just sighed slightly, and after looking into the distance, he whispered to Butler John After saying something, after turning around and making a gesture, he took Nata and Akasha and walked in another direction.
Just now, the brilliance was revealed, but at this moment, it was like a dagger in the hands of an assassin, hiding in the darkness again.
The moment after he disappeared, the lighting of the torches appeared in the distance one after another, followed by the noise of footsteps and horseshoes - Butler John took a deep breath, and then directly said loudly to the approaching team in the dark : "Luciferon Guard, arrest these traitors"
Leslie, who was kicked away by Soderol, was gritting his teeth and getting up, but after hearing John's butler's words, his eyes were wide open, and he just sat back down.
The "Luciferon Guard" is a name that no one can confuse. In the entire Efta territory, there is only one family that can be called "Luciferon", and the person in power behind the guard will only be one person...
Angmar Luciferon.
Leslie's heart was instantly ashamed, and the successive blows completely deprived him of the will to fight...
The fate of the "Wolverine Mercenary Corps" at this time is completely crushed under the wheel of history, and there is no room for resistance.
But at the same moment, Rody didn't have much refreshment after revenge, but was in an extremely bad mood.
The snow under his feet creaked, and the cold air brushed his cheeks, gradually cooling down the chaotic thoughts, and slowly combing them into pieces of useful information.
"Luo, Luo Di, what was that just now?"
Akasha followed Rody's footsteps closely, but her physical strength was not as strong as the other two, and she was slightly out of breath when she spoke
"Blood Raven, a necromancer's trick."
Rody involuntarily glanced at the direction of the Whispering Forest, and then said to Nata with the Wood Elf, "It's the one you saw in the Wagra Ruins before."
Nata was silent, but her face was obviously a bit dignified.
"How did you find them?"
Akasha was obviously curious about this question. Although the vision at night was good, who would notice the three inconspicuous black spots in the vast sky?
"They're not just flying, but casting a spell, so I can detect it." Rody didn't intend to explain the meaning of the combat stance of "environmental sensitivity", let alone that he had faced similar attacks countless times before. He just made a gesture and continued: "Three blood crows are flying in low altitude circles, which means that the necromancers are focusing on investigating this area, and it usually means that they have coveted this area.
What Luo Di didn't say is that in the game, the power of the summoning necromancer in the detection is the blood crow's "all-seeing eye" skill that can be called a "signature": three blood crows circle three Within an hour, you can memorize all the architectural details of Kieg Town in your mind, and even confirm the location of every brick and stone
This is fundamentally different from a simple high-altitude overlook, which often means that this will be the place where the undead will act next.
It is precisely because of knowing this that Rody is in a bad mood... He managed to get rid of all kinds of crises and calm down for a while. Who would have thought that the town he just took down would be targeted by the undead before it was warmed up?
Akasha naturally didn't know his depression. The little pastor was completely impressed by Rody's "knowledge" at this time, because from the time he met Rody to now, Akasha felt that he could get answers to any questions from him. And thinking of the way she responded just now... She looked at Luo Di with some hesitation, and hesitated to speak.
"Ask whatever you want, I don't treat you as outsiders."
Roddy continued to walk forward, compared the surrounding buildings, and then led them to a small road
"That... I don't know why you want me to cast the 'Holy Light' twice," Akasha asked in a low voice, "Although the 'Holy Light' has the effect of burning the undead, it has no effect at all if the distance is too far away ah."
"Why do you think I did this?"
Rody's rhetorical question was not aimed at Akasha, but asked Nata after retelling Akasha's question in Wood Elf language.
"I have no idea."
Nata answered truthfully. In fact, what she didn't understand was that with Rody's archery skills, there was a great hope to kill the last Blood Raven, but why did he want him to run away?
"The 'Holy Light' technique is just a ray of light, but many of the alchemy techniques will have light attached to them when they are released, such as the 'punishment technique', the alder gentleman's punishment technique, or the 'bright catastrophe'."
"After the light passed, the Blood Crow was dropped, and after the last Blood Crow reported these effects to the necromancer, the other party would only judge that a powerful magician appeared in Kig Town... Do you understand?"
Akasha opened her mouth wide, and it took almost three seconds for her to recall, then she nodded with admiration—the lethality of divine spells is limited, and the "punishment spell" is the lowest level, with poor accuracy, low attack, and even It can be said that it is not very powerful, but the "God's Punishment" is enough to achieve the effect that Roddy said. The ability to cast God's Punishment basically means that the caster is at least stronger than Bishop Benjamin. From the player's concept, it is to advance Level 3 and above
In this way, the necromancer who carried out the reconnaissance will definitely feel jealous and dare not make mistakes at will.
