Chapter 15 Greed

After the Fool killed Balford, the actual ruler of the Wheat Plains, it can be said that he has gained a huge advantage. He has two options: one is to take advantage of the situation and drive straight in to attack the key pass guarded by Balford. After the defenders in the pass heard that their leader had been killed, their morale was bound to be disorganized. If they wanted to attack, it would definitely take little effort, and it would be considered a piece of cake. And there should also be plenty of great rewards to be had.

His second option was to use a small group of troops to seize the pass in front of the pass. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the defenders were leaderless and frightened to defend the pass, he took advantage of the situation and began to clean up the remnants of the evil Grand Duke's army on the Wheat Plains and eliminate them. At that time, the unreasonable consequences of daring to booby-trap Balford were caused by instability in the rear. In this way, even if the evil Grand Duke comes back to his senses and sends reinforcements, their power on the Plain of Wheat has been eliminated one by one, and the power of the three plot masters can also grow with the help of the rich resources on the Plain of Wheat.

Although the first choice may seem to bring considerable benefits, it will undoubtedly activate the plot of the III world and lead to the power of the evil Archduke Garibaldi in the castle in advance. You must know that the ultimate boss of the III world is Garibaldi. Younger brother Alan, this guy can be said to be a copycat version of Garibaldi, the final boss in this world. One can imagine how powerful it is.

For the Fool, whose main purpose is to kill Fang Lin and his party, the rewards of breaking through the stronghold are certainly rich, but the unnecessary incidents/variables that arise out of nothing are definitely not what he wants to see. If you want to earn points and equipment, don’t rush here! So the Fool then adopted the second option, guarding the pass, and using the momentum of victory to clean up the Wheat Plains, it was almost certain that Fang Lin would be robbed and killed!

Originally, according to the plot at the beginning, in the world of Knights of the Round Table II, there were only two forces confronting each other. The evil Archduke Garibaldi had an absolute advantage. The three strong warriors in the plot, the Samurai, were the weaker ones, using their own flexibility. changeable. Survive in the cracks with ease.

But in the situation created by Fang Lin, the situation has been completely reversed! The power of the evil archduke has completely declined and turned into the dark. Instead, the power of the three powerful warriors in the plot has an absolute advantage. They use the manpower and material resources on the Wheat Plains to expand rapidly. Being exposed to the light, they have lost their own agility. Changeable, becoming sluggish and functioning poorly.

Therefore, even though the Fool seems to have an advantage in regional conflicts, in terms of the overall situation of the entire world. It has vaguely fallen into the absolute underground!

Because Fang Lin's purpose is not to complete the task at all, his basic goal is to avoid the Fool and not to have a head-on confrontation with him before the time is ripe! Turning into the dark is beneficial to Fang Lin, but it is bad news for the Fool!

After the situation developed to this point, Fang Lin's strategy showed its benefits as soon as he entered the nightmare world! His behavior of not caring about his own reincarnation can be said to be ruthless and cruel, and it is also an act that hurts both others and himself. But this also makes it difficult for the Fool to judge Fang Lin's next response trend at this time, if he can get information about the mission that Fang Lin has received. We can also roughly judge some of Fang Lindi's future trends from it. It's not like being completely blind now. It's like dealing with a cunning opponent like Fang Lin. If you can't set up an ambush to arrange a decisive blow, you want to kill It is almost impossible for him to reach the sky!

After meeting up with the magician Frank. Fang Lin did not try to take over the command, but calmly stated that he would obey Frank's instructions. Although this behavior is puzzling, the meaning contained in it is very profound when you think about it carefully. Needless to say, there is no need to say much about the depth of a person like The Fool, who must have already behaved in the same way as Fang Lin. After investigating the rules of thinking clearly, he used the madman and the traveler to carry out the last attack before coming in person. It can be said that Fang Lin knows Fang Lin very well. From the previous confrontation between the two, it can be seen that Fang Lin's repeated traps failed to ambush the Fool, but instead made him passive in disguise.

So Fang Lin didn't make up his mind anymore. You came prepared and wanted to play, right? I won’t play with you anymore! Just take your time and guess.

No matter how powerful the Fool was, he would never have predicted that Fang Lin would meet a powerful magician named Frank on this plain of wheat. Moreover, he was "taking orders" from this magician in disguise, and it was even more impossible to conduct a very detailed investigation and understanding of this Frank. It would be an almost impossible task to further determine Fang Lin's whereabouts. Fang Lin's move to retreat can not only give his brain a full rest, but also confuse the fool. It can be said to be extremely clever and impressive.

As a magician, Frank is a magician who is proficient in physical skills, but he is also thoughtful and clear-minded. It was definitely not Balford, an idiot with a head full of muscles like Marcel, who was killed by the enemy. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to rush back to take revenge? What's more, the relationship between him and Balford was not harmonious to begin with, so Frank's order was not a return of reinforcements. But... run away!

With the head of the Archmage Merlin presented by Fang Lin, Frank had sufficient reasons to excuse himself in front of Sir Allen. Maybe you can even get a promotion as a blessing in disguise. In fact, after Balford's death, he was already the number one figure in the evil Grand Duke's army on the Plains of Wheat. Frank never thought that the evil Duke Gallipoli's side would fail, so when he learned of Balford's death, he had already had the idea in his mind to take over the position left by the guy who had been weighing on him. thoughts.

…………

Frank has more than forty masked servants under his command, ten swordsmen with giant swords, four short and fat palace guards armed with sharp long swords, and two Western ninjas like White. The power can be said to be quite huge. According to White, who had received the instructions, what happened was that Merlin's death was due to his carelessness and his sudden death in a surprise attack.

In Frank's opinion, it is indeed possible for a pure wizard with a weak constitution like Merlin to capsize in a sewer and be killed like this if he is not careful, so he does not arouse much suspicion.

But if the words were put back, if White was really loyal and told Frank the truth in detail...these few people in front of him could break through the War Village that turned into a semi-military fortress and kill more than forty people. As a reserve knight, he slaughtered the entire village and killed Merlin... Don't say that Frank would sneer at him. Even White, who had witnessed this with his own eyes, felt very weak when he thought about it, and had a dream-like illusion, so he didn't even say a word about it.

Therefore, Fang Lin and the others did not receive hero-like treatment. Instead, they directly changed into the clothes of masked slaves and blended in. However, it was Marcele who received the highest level of reception among them. This guy's armor has a few dark red blood lines in the dead black. It doesn't look much different from an ordinary black iron heavy shield giant hammer. However, because Frank and Balford have never been on good terms, he does not have the Hammer Soldier unit among his men. Now that one is here, of course he is treated like a giant panda. Being able to be on an equal footing with the squat palace guards is only below the level of Western ninjas.

Frank had the idea of ​​​​escape in his mind, but he could not express this idea in his mouth anyway, so he gave his subordinates a high-sounding reason for "crushing the rebels." The group of people took a detour in a bold and confident manner, but everyone tacitly knew that they were heading back to the castle. Moreover, this Frank was obviously not a good man. In order to avoid exposing his whereabouts, he kept track of where he passed. All villages were slaughtered and looted. It is also called the suppression of rebellious people.

Such behavior was being carried out crazily throughout the Wheat Plains. The entire plain was in chaos. With the murder of the ruler Balford, the remaining men of the evil Archduke Garibaldi's forces felt panic. They listened. After the crying of the defeated soldiers who fled over. For fear that those farmers who were originally submissive would rebel under the instigation of "thugs" and "rebels", so they simply struck first and would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go! They also quickly retreated to the castle. This makes it even more difficult for the Fool to judge Fang Lin's movements!

………………

There are mountains standing in the distance, and a large and towering castle can be seen vaguely. That is the main scene where the story of the Knights of the Round Table III world takes place, Stromgarde. Sir Alan, the brother of the evil Archduke Garibaldi, also lives here, overlooking the fertile wheat plains like a ferocious wild bear.

Fang Lin stood quietly next to a house. It was evening at this time, the sunset was shining blankly on the blue sky, and a few petals of flowers from an acacia tree were falling on his collar.

Those few flowers were spattered with blood.

The blood was flowing happily in the veins just a moment ago. So it's still warm.

The house next to Fang Lin was burning fiercely. The flames surged up to a height of seven or eight meters, and easily swallowed up furniture, window curtains, farm tools, corpses, and blood. family. Warmth... and everything.

Fang Lin calmly picked up the blood-stained petals next to his collar and took a look. Release your fingers. The falling flowers slowly passed by his clothes and finally landed on the ground, but the expression on his face was a smile. At this time, when they attacked the village, the greedy and looting masked slaves who were with them had already unknowingly. He retreated, drew out the short sword from his waist, and surrounded them in the center.

The masked slaves looked at them with vicious and greedy eyes, as if they were looking at a group of dead people who had not yet been plundered.

The frightened White and the stone-cold Marcel were surrounded by giant swords and heavy swords. In this moment, the allies turned against you and turned into killers who want your life!

"Yes. It's almost time." Fang Lin smiled and said: "If Master Mage wants to seek the lucrative position of ruler of the Wheat Plains, the indispensable prop is Merlin's head. The only regret is that damn guy Merlin He was not killed by your own hands. In order to make up for this flaw, those of us who know the truth will undoubtedly become a stumbling block in your path to promotion and wealth... and you must die."

Frank sneered:

"You are quite smart. If you are willing to kill your companions right away and give Merlin the robe he is wearing, I will spare your life."

Fang Lin suddenly said:

"Oh, it turns out there is also the temptation of treasures."

The wrinkles on Frank's cheeks were as deep as a knife and an axe. He only felt that under the sunset that was about to set, in the flames of war, even though he was surrounded by many men, he somehow gave birth to a... An unprecedented loneliness. Feeling extremely chilly. This is something strange that has never happened before! But at this time, the situation was so tense that it had to be fired. Frank had a vicious look in his eyes and said:

"kill!"

When he said he was going to kill, Fang Lin and the others had already received a clear reminder of the nightmare mark:

"You have been attacked by your own plot character. You have been attacked by your own plot character."

"You have obtained the right to counterattack."

"Because the plot character that attacks you does not represent the will of the evil Grand Duke Garibaldi, your counterattack will not reduce the hostility of this camp."

The butcher's body swelled up like an inflatable ball. He could not enter the battle because he had to maintain a normal body shape. He watched so much flesh and blood that he could not eat, and so many corpses that could not be plundered. So he had been suppressed and panicked for a long time. At this moment, he finally endured it. He roared and rushed out happily! A large group of purple-black poisonous gas appeared around his fat body, like a tiger into a flock of sheep... Oh, no, this metaphor is not quite appropriate. It was like a Tyrannosaurus Rex rushing into the stunned masked slaves!

The Butcher is a strong man who is specially used to deal with the human wave tactics. The group of masked servants crowded together and were burned by his decay, causing the additional passive skills on his helmet to appear repeatedly: when attacking the enemy, there is a 5% chance to summon the Warrior Soul to assist in the attack!

Although the duration of the Warrior Soul is only 30 seconds. And at most seven Warrior Souls can appear on the battlefield. But the Butcher was surrounded by more than ten masked servants at this time, all crowded. Under the burn of the Butcher's decay, a Warrior Soul would emerge every four or five seconds.

The appearance of this Warrior Soul is very similar to a copycat version of the Grim Reaper wearing a black hood, the difference is that the weapon he holds is not a sickle, but one of the eighteen weapons in ancient China. The speed of the floating is extremely fast. And the gloomy wind is howling, leaving a long light gray track wherever it passes, and finally it drifts in the air like smoke.

However, these masked slaves were well-trained. They could hold on without collapsing when faced with such a terrifying thing. They shouted and rushed towards the butcher. They tried their best to stab the sharp daggers in their hands into the butcher's fat body.

The successful attack undoubtedly boosted the morale of the masked slaves. They grinned and stabbed desperately, but soon they could not laugh anymore, because the butcher was already enraged by this group of "ants" and brazenly pulled out the Thousand Man Slash! These two terrible long swords were weapons that would go crazy when seeing blood. Soon, the butcher, driven by the instant slash skill on the Thousand Man Slash, spun like a fat gyroscope, and the black knife light like a knife wheel flashed around him! Of course, there were also streams of blood! After the Thousand Man Slash was pulled out. Immediately, five or six masked slaves were beheaded and their heads were chopped off alive!

The most dangerous ones were White and Marse, who were emphasized by Frank to be surrounded. Although these people knew that White was an absolute waste, Marse's appearance and the huge weapon he was carrying made him look very impressive. So Frank not only arranged all the greatsword heavy swordsmen to "take care" of him, but also added two short and fat palace guards holding sharp halberds for safety.

Although these two short and fat palace guards were not good-looking, and the blue leather armor they wore was bulging with fat all over their bodies, one of them had a very powerful stabbing skill that had been upgraded to level 11. After charging for two seconds, it stabbed the enemy within six meters in front of the body!

This stab not only has extremely high damage. It also has a 35% stun effect, and the probability of causing penetrating damage is increased by 15%. In addition, it has an additional 100 points of damage that ignores defense, and can force the enemy to be pushed back 3 to 8 meters!

As soon as Frank started the attack, Marse, who had been reminded in advance, took the initiative to extend his small shield to block the sudden slash of three two-handed giant swords! With sparks flying everywhere, his mutant thunder stick had swept out and hit the face armor of another greatsword heavy swordsman!

A deep dent immediately appeared on the face armor of this poor unlucky guy. From the degree of distortion of the dent, it can be seen that the flesh, bones, and even teeth inside were inseparably mixed together... Just looking at it, people can't help but touch the same part of their face.

Marse's attack was to protect White, who screamed in fear.

Fang Lin's original instruction to Marse was: I don't need a waste. If you want to revive Marina... hold on for five minutes, and make sure White survives.

Marse didn't say much. He was originally a taciturn person. Even in his heart, he knew that reviving Marina was definitely not an easy task. But being able to die in the process of reviving her is also worthwhile!

The giant swordsman who was hit by Marse had tears and snot flowing out. He almost cried and slashed with the sword. Marse roared in his throat, but he lowered his head and hit the sword.

Sparks flashed!

The giant sword had already slashed Marse's heavy horn helmet! The blood-colored pattern on the helmet faintly emitted a fiery red light! The giant sword was swung away alive, and the giant swordsman screamed, and the knuckles holding the sword with both hands were cracked, and Marse's savagery broke out, and he counterattacked like a mad tiger! Bit him on the neck!

All the giant swordsmen around clearly heard the increasingly weak screams of their companions, and the sound of the blood in the carotid artery being sucked into the mouth of the mad dog-like giant!

Marse not only bit and sucked, but also gnawed like a beast, chewing the enemy's throat flesh and cartilage fragments! Then he spit out a mouthful of blood, raised the terrible giant stick and rushed madly towards the remaining giant swordsmen!

At this moment, it felt like Marse had surrounded these giant swordsmen alone! Instead of being surrounded and ambushed.

But at this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed! It was a short and fat palace guard next to him who had already made a move. This guy's body was originally round like a winter melon. When he was running and accumulating power, his shoulders holding the long halberd shrank back violently, as if he wanted to hide the long weapon in his hand. The expression on his face was naive, kind and innocent, and looked extremely wretched.

This short and fat palace guard ran three steps with a "squeak, squeak" sound, and suddenly stabbed out the sharp long halberd in his hand, and actually stabbed it into the gap between Marse's blood-patterned armor! However, the short and fat palace guard suddenly felt something was wrong. When he practiced this move, he practiced it more than once with living people. The feeling of the sharp halberd in his hand now, how could it feel like piercing into the flesh? It was like piercing into a piece of dried wood!

Although Marse was staggered and repelled four meters away by the attached attribute, his two sturdy legs plowed deep marks on the ground, but after the thrust disappeared, he immediately pounced on it in the flying mud. The stab that could break or maim ordinary people was like a shot of stimulant for Marse!

The short and fat palace guard was stunned, and Marse's sturdy body was bleeding. He roared and pounced on him. This pounce used his skill, the dance:

It was hit 8 times in an instant, and the attack power of each time was 50% of the normal attack power, and it required 1 point of mental power.

Only a series of "puff", "puff", and "puff" sounds were heard, accompanied by the furious and painful groans of the short and fat palace guards. The weapon special effects on the mutated Thunder Stick appeared again (with a 15% chance of causing an additional 10 points of damage to the enemy and causing blindness), and the short and fat palace guards rolled away with a shrill sound like a wild boar!
