Chapter 436 A Meeting Focused on Strategies

But most of the relics of ancient magical civilizations that remain to this day contain some things that even modern experts would find extremely difficult.

Or deadly traps, or powerful defense mechanisms. Many ancient ruins have such power. Just like ancient tombs, they usually consider how to deal with an invasion.

Therefore, when discovering ancient ruins, you often need to plan your exploration carefully. Otherwise, no matter how many good things there are in the ruins, it will be in vain if you cannot bring them out.

For this reason, it is necessary to hold a combat meeting before exploration.

This is the same as exploring dungeons. The Loki Familia will discuss countermeasures and action plans again and again before the expedition, especially after reaching the 50th floor. As the leader of the group, Finn can't wait to think of himself. All the matters were taught to the people in the family members, and multiple sets of action plans were discussed. I euphemistically said: "In the dungeon, no matter how cautious you are, you can never be too cautious."

Thanks to this, when Raven, Nibald, Kaz and others discussed on the spot and held a combat meeting, Rige, who was still a little careless, actually felt a little nostalgic as he listened.

"...Why do you keep thinking about the Familia lately?"

When he reacted, Li Ge had been smiling like this for a while.

It seems like I have to find time to go back, otherwise it won't be a problem if I miss her all the time.

With this thought, Li Ge listened to the meeting of Raven and others.

The first thing they mentioned was naturally the giant guards.

Nibald and others also saw the two giant guards standing at the city gate, but they always thought they were two extremely lifelike statues. It was not until Raven mentioned this that they knew they could move.

"A giant guarding an ancient city?" Nibald became slightly more interested and asked, "Is it an alchemy doll? Or a large golem?"

"I don't know, it's not a normal creature anyway." Raven shook his head and said: "The giant that the Thunder Sword Master and I encountered was smaller than the two gatekeepers, but the two should be of the same nature. They may Will attack us... No, since they are guards, if we want to get in, we must pass through them, right? "

Li Ge agrees with this.

He has already tried it. Even if he uses flying magic to cross the city gate and fly directly into the city, the two giant guards will react violently.

They can't fly, but the stone spears in their hands can be thrown, and they can even throw boulders. Therefore, it would be too naive to think that they would not be attacked without passing through the city gate.

Their sensory systems are also different from those of living creatures. Regardless of whether Li Ge uses [Complete Agnosticization] to sneak past, or uses [Advanced Teleportation] to enter the city, the two giants will immediately run towards him.

In this way, if you want to enter that ancient city, defeating the two giant guards is what you must do.

Everyone understood this and started asking questions.

"How strong are those two giant guards?"

Nibald asked.

"I don't know." Raven still shook his head and said, "But the giant we encountered was very strong. Even if Lei Guang and I attacked together, it still took a while to solve it."

"It took a while for both of you to attack together?" Axel muttered: "That's really strong."

The others also looked solemn.

The Giant Guard is very strong, and Li Ge also agrees with this statement.

If nothing else, let’s just say that the giant that Li Ge and Raven encountered was probably even higher than the current Li Ge in terms of “strength” and “durability”.

In other words, the giant's "strength" and "durability" are at Lv.7 level, and they are still extremely strong at Lv.7 level.

However, the giant's "dexterity" and "agility" were on the low side. Not to mention the Lv.6 level, even the Lv.5 level was too weak.

That's why Li Ge was able to fly the giant kite easily because it was too bulky.

Facing such a bulky enemy, as long as it doesn't get close or hit by it, even a Level 6 enemy can wear down the opponent bit by bit.

But this Level 6 must have all the medicines, not only high-level elixirs, but also magic elixirs depending on the situation. Maybe even all-purpose elixirs, so that it is possible to fight a big battle. After half a day, the giant will be worn to death.

In addition, this Level 6 must use at least the first level of special weapons, otherwise it will not be able to cut down the giant at all.

Li Ge unknowingly turned his thoughts to the dungeon strategy of the Dicuo world.

The basis for Li Ge's thinking was the giant he had faced, not the two giants guarding the goal.

You can tell at a glance that those two giants are stronger than the previous giant. Their nearly ten meters tall body is really oppressive. If that size is not a decoration, it is conceivable that the mere Level 6 will definitely not be able to deal with those two giants.

Not to mention, there are more than just two giant guards in this ancient ruins.

"The knight who was responsible for the reconnaissance just now has returned." Digodo said from the side: "According to their report, the result of using magic to reconnoiter the ancient ruins is that there seem to be more giant guards inside, and even some The place is emitting obscure magic fluctuations, and there may be some magic trap operating in the city. "

"What about the number?" Raven asked calmly: "What is the number of giant guards?"

"The visual inspection is no less than sixty." DiGordo reported: "This is the number that can be detected. There are still some places in the city that cannot be peeked with magic, especially a temple in the center. That temple will not only detect The magic bounced back, and a very high-level magic barrier appeared."

"Temple?" Axel was immediately surprised and said: "There is actually a temple located in the center of the city instead of some administrative agency?"

"That's right." DiGordo said with certainty: "The knight in charge of the reconnaissance said that they did not see any buildings similar to administrative agencies or noble mansions, truly unique buildings. There’s only that temple, and the rest are basically private houses.”

"Is this so?" Nibald said thoughtfully: "It seems that this city was probably once part of a country with extremely deep-rooted religious beliefs."

"Is it a city left behind by a country where divine authority overrides royal authority?" Raven nodded and said, "I have indeed heard that some ancient ruins fall into this category."

"In that case, the temple is probably the most worth exploring in this city." Kaz finally said, "Since the rest of the place is filled with private residences, there probably isn't much value in exploring it."

"Well, the first target should be the temple in the center of the city." Raven agreed while adding: "However, there are at least sixty giant guards wandering around the city. This kind of combat power is really quite powerful. It’s hard to deal with.”

As a border marquis family, the Maples family naturally has no shortage of combat power.

Not to mention the knights and the army sent here by the kingdom and handed over to Raven for command, the scale of the knights under the Mapros family is not small at all.

According to the regulations of the kingdom, a marquis can form a private knighthood of 700 people to use as a fighting force to maintain the territory. Since the Mapros family is a border marquis family, it has the important responsibility of guarding the national border. Like the Franzel family, where a strategic-level magician resides, they are allowed to recruit an additional 100 people as an exception to form a knighthood of 800 people.

The one hundred people who made an exception were not ordinary swordsmen, but magicians.

Because magic can play a huge role on the battlefield and can be used as an important military force, no matter which country it is in, magicians are not allowed to be recruited by nobles in large numbers.

Basically, magicians can only be recruited in large numbers by national units, or they can enter the palace as court magicians, or be incorporated into the magic corps, and then they can work in various important fields led by the state, such as research institutes that study magic, and the development of magic. Places such as the Armed Forces Department of Props or magic academies like Spreler Academy are not allowed to enter the private field to work.

In view of this, no matter whether it is the highest-ranking Duke or the lowest-ranking Baron, there is no magician in the knights formed under his command.

Of course, this refers to the situation of large-scale recruitment. If only two or three magicians are recruited into the home as offerings, or if someone from a trading company recruits a limited number of structural magicians to help produce magic props and products, then it is still no problem.

But if you want to recruit, integrate, and bribe a large number of magicians like forming a knighthood, then it will be completely banned and the country will not allow it.

However, aristocratic families like the Mapros family that need to sit on the border and go to the battlefield will be specially allowed to have a part of the authority to recruit magicians.

To sum up, among the 800 knights under the Mapros family, 100 are magicians.

This time, there were one hundred and twenty Mapros family knights who came from Besare to the body of the underground monster Arakulon and joined Raven.

One hundred of them were swordsmen and twenty were magicians. They were more numerous than the giant guards in the ancient city, but in terms of combat power, the latter undoubtedly had the upper hand.

Li Ge glanced at these knights and roughly judged their strength.

These knights are probably the elite of the knights under the Mapros family. Each one of them exudes a good aura. In terms of level, they are all probably Lv. 4.

"One hundred and twenty Level 4 knights?"

This power is indeed a bit reluctant to deal with about sixty giant guards.
