Volume 19, Chapter 66 New Forces
As the man shouted, the players on both sides started to move instantly. The priest with the sickle came up and threw a ball of black gelatinous substance that looked like mud at the crowd.
Everyone here saw the flying black object and immediately dodged to both sides. When one of them saw that he had no time to dodge, he simply slashed at it with a knife. However, although his knife accurately struck the center of the gel-like substance, he underestimated the flexibility of the thing. After hitting his blade, he saw that the gel was actually pulled around the blade for a long time, and then rolled back due to inertia and wrapped around the blade several times before stopping.
Seeing that the thing was wrapped around his knife, the player quickly swung the blade to throw the thing off, but before he could get the thing off, he heard a chirping sound, and his blade It softened like noodles, and the signs of melting were still spreading along the blade to the handle.
"Ah, what the hell!" The man saw that the thing on the knife was spreading towards the handle, and he was so frightened that he threw the knife away. However, although he threw away the knife, the priest mm opposite him threw a ball of the thing again, and this time it hit him squarely in the face. "Ah..." The screams were accompanied by a burst of blue smoke. The man covered his face and howled while rolling on the ground. He looked extremely terrifying. A few seconds later, the man suddenly stopped screaming, sat up from the ground, and looked around with huge eyes.
It didn't matter that he sat up, but the people around him were frightened by him, because at this time, this guy's face had been burned beyond recognition. The skin on his entire face has completely disappeared, and the remaining muscles are extremely uneven here and there, and in many places, huge abscesses that look like toad skin can be seen accumulated together. However, the most terrifying thing is his eyes and mouth. Because his lips have completely disappeared, his teeth are all exposed, and his eyelids are also missing, so his eyeballs appear to be particularly large, and they seem to have popped out. This guy looked around with such a dignified appearance, no wonder everyone around him was startled by him. Thanks to it being daytime, if it wasn't safe at night, it might scare a few people to death.
The guy just sat there and looked around for two seconds, and then suddenly looked down at his hands. Since his hands touched the mucus when he covered his face just now, his hands are now in the same condition as his face. The skin on the palm completely disappeared, and the bones and tendons were exposed in the air, looking even more terrifying than a skeleton. Although the complete skeleton is all bones, at least it looks clean and not disgusting. The way he looks now is simply scarier than the skeleton.
After looking at his palm, the guy suddenly opened his mouth again and let out a horrific scream, then suddenly fell back and never moved again.
"Damn, you can kill someone with two moves. Isn't this girl too powerful?" Crouching on the tree, I looked at the fallen guy and couldn't help but sigh at the attack power of the priest sister. Although I have seen a lot of advanced players, even so, it is rare to see one with such a powerful attack power as this priest mm. It seems that the system score is relatively low, but there are still many civilian masters with high actual combat effectiveness.
One of the people on both sides was killed before they even came into contact. The robbers were also shocked, but that was what they were doing after all. It was normal to have casualties in battles, so they were not frightened by the death. Stop, but rush faster.
Although there are three melee personnel among the six opponents, it seems that the far and near attack power is balanced, but experienced people can tell at a glance that the levels of the three melee professions are not high. On the contrary, the two archers and The priest mm's combat effectiveness is probably considerable, so the faster the distance between the two sides is closed, the lower the casualties will be. Otherwise, if they are separated by such a long-range combat team, they will have to wait for death.
As soon as one of the robbers died, the two archers from the opposite team fired their bows at the same time. Two arrows were shot at the two robbers in no particular order. The robber on the left didn't react at all. He was shot through the throat by an arrow and died instantly before he could even scream. The other person's reaction was obviously much faster. He hit the arrow flying in mid-air with a swing of his hand, but the arrow still scratched a bloody hole on his neck, but it was not fatal.
Discovering that the target team's combat effectiveness was so strong, the archers in the robbers' team also quickly drew their bows and fired an arrow to fight back. However, they did not expect that the other side's archers actually hit the target after the robbers' archers fired an arrow. Suddenly he raised his hand and shot an arrow. The two feather arrows collided in the air and made a clanging sound, and then both changed directions. The arrow that the robber flew out was knocked back and penetrated the throat of one of the robbers horizontally. The arrow shot by the archer of the target team was deflected and hit another one. The robber's eye sockets.
"Second stage bullet 'shoot'?"
The so-called two-stage bullet shooting is actually an advanced skill for archers. Using this skill, you can bounce back the opponent's arrow and make your own arrow change direction and continue flying. Of course, the basic two-stage projectile 'shooting' can actually only 'shoot' the opponent's arrow in the air. Like the arrow just now, it not only caused the opponent's arrow to turn around and kill a target, but also 'shot' one's own arrow. The arrow can also continue to fly and hit a target. This effect is definitely the second-stage projectile skill added at level 20. If you just practice the second-stage bullet shooting skill to the full level, which is level 20, then at most you can bounce the opponent's arrows back and hurt people, but your own arrows will definitely not be able to hurt people again. That archer can shoot with such an effect. If he doesn't have equipment with this skill level, he must have the enhanced attribute of this skill.
Four of the robbers' team were dead and one injured before they even made contact with the target. Although the ten people still alive still had a numerical advantage over the six on the other side, considering that the other side's archers and priests were so powerful, the outcome was actually a matter of course. It has become very unclear. But for the robbers, fortunately, they had shortened the distance between the two sides. If the two sides were still twenty or thirty meters away, it would probably be better for them to just run away.
After two counterattacks, the front-end personnel of both sides finally came into contact. The soldiers on the robbers' side jumped up first, but before they landed, they were shrouded in a large dark cloud thrown by the priest's sister. Several people were waiting for them to emerge from the dark clouds. When they were putting it on, they all screamed and rubbed their eyes desperately. As a result, they were chopped down to the ground by three melee personnel who had been prepared long ago.
At this point in the battle, the outcome is actually very clear. The team where the priest sister is working is so closely coordinated. The combat effectiveness of the priest mm and the two archers is too strong, and they can kill a large number of enemies at medium and long distances. With the cooperation of the priest mm, it is difficult for a team with three melee professional protections to be close. . For a long-range damage team that cannot get close, the best way is to use a stronger long-range output power to decide the outcome at mid-to-long distances. If you want to get close to the combatants and attack them, it is purely self-defeating.
Although the situation was quite clear, the robbers did not have any smart leaders, so they still charged even when the situation was already quite unfavorable. However, this charging behavior obviously does not make any sense. Under the influence of the priest mm's various auxiliary skills, the robbers' combat effectiveness has barely been exerted. It is problematic to deal with those in close combat with such strength, not to mention The opponent also had two long-range personnel attacking behind them. This one-sided battle was completely over in less than two minutes.
"Okay, pack up and let's get out of here." The priest mm directed several other people. Those warriors and archers were obviously used to the command of the priest sister. After hearing her words, they immediately went to check the corpses on the ground. I originally planned to leave after scouting here. Now that I saw the robbery of those people, I can notify the people in the guild to deal with it. I can't do it myself for such a small gang. Besides, I want to kill them back to Novice Village. I didn’t come here on my own. However, just when I was about to turn around and leave, the voice of the priest sister suddenly came from the front. "The guy in the tree has been following you for so long. Is he leaving if you don't want to do something?"
The priest sister's words made me stunned. I didn't expect that she had already known that I had arrived. However, before I had time to react, I suddenly heard a voice on the tree trunk not far in front of me saying: "As expected of the Blood Scythe, you have discovered it like this."
If the words of the priest mm only surprised me, the sudden sound just now made me startled. To be honest, I didn't even realize there was someone hiding there before. Although this is also related to my attention not being there, after all, the other party stayed near me for such a long time without being noticed by me, which is not a small mistake.
After the man over there finished speaking, he jumped out from his hiding place. The priest sister on the ground was not surprised at all when she saw the visitor, but had an expression that seemed to be true.
"What? Does the Black Sun Alliance have special surveillance on each of its teams?"
The man who just appeared looked at the corpse on the ground and said disdainfully: "Huh, there's no need for me to go out personally for such a small role. I'm here to keep an eye on you."
"Oh, that little girl is really honored!" The priest sister deliberately said something ironic.
The visitor also knew his relationship with the other party, so he didn't care at all about the other party's cynicism. "We don't need to play those fake games between us. We don't have any friendship at all anyway, so there's no need to be pretentious here."
"That's just right." Sister Priest put away her teasing tone and said seriously: "Since you said you don't want to talk about friendship, let's get down to business. Have your Black Sun Alliance's claws been stretched too long recently? This week alone I have received more than 30 reports of robbery against you, you decide what to do."
"I didn't say that you Blood Knights blocked our way of making money, but you were the first to criticize us." The person said very rudely.
The expression on the priest's face immediately turned cold when she heard what the other party said. "Very good. Now that we've said it, let's each do our own thing. Are you planning to leave on your own now, or are you going to let us take you back?"
"Okay, let's see about it later." After the man finished speaking, he suddenly took action and threw a flying knife at the archer next to the priest's sister. After the man was stabbed, the people next to him quickly helped him, but because of this delay, they were unable to notice the guy in black robes turning around and running away. By the time they thought of chasing him, the man had already jumped up and was about to enter. In the woods.
However, the man in black robe failed to escape into the woods in the end. Just when he was about to 'touch' the nearest tree, two rotating flying blades suddenly flew out from the treetops in front of him and instantly knocked him away. The neck and waist were cut into three sections. After killing the man in black robe, the two moon blades made a big circle in the air, and then flew back into the woods, making two slight metal friction sounds.
"Who is it?" The priest sister looked into the woods with some worry. The thing just now is obviously a weapon, and the weapon itself will not hurt people, only the user of the weapon can hurt people. In other words, there was someone hiding in the woods and she had no idea. However, although she was worried because she did not find the other party, the priest sister's worry was not strong, because since the other party killed her enemy, it means that the other party is probably not hostile to her, otherwise the two swords just now should have been greeted first She is right.
As the priest sister asked, a heavily armored warrior suddenly emerged from the shadows next to the woods. The moment she saw this warrior, the pupils of the priest sister's eyes shrank sharply. However, she suddenly found that the archer next to her was drawing a bow and raising an arrow. She was so frightened that she quickly stretched out her hand to hold the archer's bow and suppress his hand. "Don't move, that's Zi Ri's magic pet."
"Purple Sun? The Purple Sun of the Frost Rose Alliance?" The archer looked at the priest sister in surprise and asked.
The priest mm nodded and said, "If I remember correctly."
"You remember correctly." The voice suddenly appeared behind everyone, startling several people. When they turned around and saw Lucky standing behind them, they finally confirmed that it was me who was here. As my first demon pet, Lucky's popularity is still very high. It can be said that seeing him appear can basically confirm that I have arrived.
"Excuse me……"
"No need to ask, I'm here." I walked out of the woods in front of me after a few demon pets appeared, and the players were stunned when they saw me. Seeing their expressions, I looked down in confusion before I remembered that I still had Emmenis' disguise on me. "Emenis."
"Sorry, my fault." Amynis suddenly appeared next to me, and after a casual wave, I returned to normal state.
"Hello, I am Ziri, the president of the Frost Rose Alliance, but I believe you all know me."
The priest sister stepped forward and asked: "Can I ask President Ziri why a celebrity like you has time to appear here?"
"In fact, the group of people you just killed are the reason why I am here."
After hearing this, the priest sister lowered her head and glanced at the corpse on the ground, and then suddenly asked, "Are you here for the Black Sun Alliance too?"
"Maybe." I said uncertainly: "Originally, I just thought that a gang was robbing ordinary players who came to Essinger to trade items. This behavior would seriously affect Essinger's normal business activities, so I planned to investigate the situation, but I didn’t expect that the Black Sun Alliance would pop up again. To be honest, I have never heard of this organization at all, so..."
"You haven't heard of it?" Before the priest sister could speak, a soldier beside her spoke first. "It's impossible, right? Doesn't the Frost Rose Alliance have intelligence gathering personnel? It's impossible for a guild as big as yours to not have such a department, right?"
The priest sister is actually much smarter than the soldier. Before I could answer, she said to the soldier: "Don't talk nonsense. How could a guild as big as the Frost Rose Alliance not have an intelligence agency? Some time ago, we were fighting against Japan and fighting against each other. During the Russian war, the Frost Rose Alliance's intelligence focus must have been concentrated abroad, and it is normal to not know much about domestic affairs."
I have to say that this priestess is very smart. She guessed the reason before I answered, but I still nodded and confirmed her guess. "Yes, we have indeed relaxed our domestic intelligence collection during this period. If it is not troublesome, I hope you can provide some information about the Black Sun Alliance. Looking at the situation today, our guild may need to clean up the domestic environment ”
When the soldier who just interrupted heard that I wanted to clean up the domestic environment, he immediately said happily: "Haha, great. The Frost Rose Alliance is willing to take action, and now the Black Sun Alliance will be in trouble. Let me tell you... …”
Before the soldier could finish his words, he was interrupted by the priest mm. The priest mm pulled the warrior behind him and said: "President Ziri. It is not difficult to ask us to provide information, but I have a small request that I hope you can agree to."
"tell me the story."
"I hope you can call on our Blood Knights when you take action."
Regarding Priest mm's request, I thought about it for a moment, and then replied seriously: "Sorry, I cannot allow the Frost Rose Alliance to invite you to participate in our operation in an official capacity, unless your guild can pass the allies of our guild. Assessment conditions.”
If it were an ordinary guild, they would definitely be eager for help when launching a guild war. But our Frost Rose Alliance is different. Our status in the country is somewhat similar to that of a semi-'government' department. Although our country's guilds are not completely unified, because of the strength of our guilds, the Frost Rose Alliance actually already has certain 'government' functions in the country. For a guild like ours, if it takes other guilds to act together, then this guild is likely to be considered by other guilds to have certain law enforcement properties. In other words, if our guild leads the Blood Knights to carry out the action of wiping out the Black Sun Alliance, other guilds will regard the Blood Knights as the executors of our guild. In this way, what bad things will the Blood Knights do in the future? If something happens, people will blame it directly on us. That is something that absolutely cannot be allowed.
Seeing that I refused simply, the priest asked the next best thing: "What if you only take me with you?"
