Chapter 79
Takales never dreamed that he would be reunited with his old man in distant Gregory, and this old man was not someone who could make him feel happy.
Faflan hasn't changed his height for a year, but the heels on his feet are getting taller and taller, and even then, he is still only the height of Tackales' shoulders. Behind Faflan was Marion, the Jackal, the leader of the Slums, who joined Favran's Eagle Mercenary Regiment after losing to Tacales, becoming the deputy leader. The jackal's face was gray, and his cheeks were sunken, which made him look like a skeleton covered in human skin, which made people panic. The jackal stared at Tacales and grinned, licking his knife in some erotic way, as if the person he was licking was Tacales.
Takales didn't want to have anything to do with Favrean's party, but the fact was that the Eagle Mercenary Regiment was the medium-sized mercenary group that the City Lord had invited to defend the Forbidden City this time. If they want to help the inhabitants of Prison City, then teaming up with the Eagle Mercenaries is the best option.
As Tacales pondered how to phrase it, Fafran spoke first, "Yo, isn't this the pretty head of Tacales?" Long time no see. What about your mercenary group? Tsk, just a few people, have you reached the standard of a small mercenary group? It's not going to be disbanded. β
Takales said: "Don't bother, the White Lion Mercenary Regiment is already a medium-sized mercenary group. β
"Having a pretty face is easy to do." Favran's high heels kicked on the ground with a "thump", "I haven't heard that the city lord of the Prison Tower has hired another mercenary group, what are you doing here?" β
"What we are going to do is our business, not to you. I'm here to find you to seek cooperation in protecting the people of the Prison City. β
"Cooperation?" Favran seemed to hear a big joke and said to the jackal, "Oh my God, did you hear what he said?" Oh, what a privilege it is for our beautiful head of Takales to work with us! β
Tacales: "......"
I haven't seen you for a year, but everyone has grown a lot. Favran was still so bitter and hated good-looking people, but he was no longer so impulsive and reckless, and he would fight with his sword, but his words were thorny and sarcastic.
Faflan said: "Captain Takales, our team has a total of 450 people, it is a quasi-large mercenary group, although my team members do not have the beautiful appearance of you and your companions, but everyone is an excellent professional, we don't need your help." Oh no, I should say I hope you don't come and make trouble for us. β
"Captain Taka, don't worry, I will protect you when the demonic beasts storm the Prison City." The jackal's gaze was disgustingly boneless, "I'm not going to let anyone hurt your face." β
Ignoring the sarcasm of Favran and the Jackal, Tacales said, "This is not the time for a battle of wills. β
"No one has a battle of heart with you!" Favran flatly rejected Takales' kindness, "If you want to help, get out of the Prison City quickly, we are only responsible for the safety of the people of the Prison City, if you are bitten to death by the monster, we will not care." β
Tacales: "......"
Unable to convince Favran, Tacales left with his group.
Shazo, who had never met Faflan before, was very interested in the origin of this man, and when he asked about it, Tacales succinctly told him about the feud they had formed with Favran in Marion City.
Xia Zuo said: "So this Faflan just hates a beautiful person? β
"Yes," said Tacales. β
Xia Zuo looked at Takales' face for a moment and said, "No wonder he hates you so much. β
Takalais: "......" I didn't mean to have such a face, and I can't blame him for being ugly.
The Eagle Mercenaries don't need the assistance of the White Lion Mercenaries, but Takales and they can't sit idly by.
Tacales asked, "Is there anything you can do, Filsi?" β
Filsie said: "The Eagle Mercenary Regiment is guarding the base camp and dealing with the Warcraft army, let's deal with the Warcraft they missed." β
Everyone agreed.
The White Lion Mercenary Group went around to the rear of the Eagle Mercenary Group, and they stood on a tall building, which was conducive to their clear observation of the shape of the ground, and if there was any missing magical beast, they could also find it at the first time.
When the sound of the city gate bursting, Miao Zhichen and the others tensed their nerves, they knew that the demonic beast had entered the city.
The Imprisoned City was instantly engulfed in flames, and the small inn they had stayed in was burned to the ground in an instant, this was a magical beast with fire-based magic! A magical beast that can do magic, at least level 2 or above.
Takales frowned, "I'm sure there's a second-level demonic beast." β
Lub said, "More than that. β
A few people followed Lu Bu's gaze and could see that there was a flying ground and a rolling wind in the firelight, which showed that there were at least three second-level demonic beasts! No, it should be more, this is simply a Warcraft elite group.
Xia Zuo asked, "Have all the residents of the Prison City moved out?" β
Takales said: "It should be, the city lord has been preparing for this day for a long time, everyone has experience, I think it is better to hide." β
"Don't let up, we'll wait and see," Filsey said. β
The Eagle Mercenary Regiment, under the leadership of Faflan, all rushed forward to fight against the Warcraft, according to Filsi's visual inspection, among the four hundred and fifty people, there were sixty second-order professionals, and the rest were all third-order professionals. This lineup is considered to be below the average among medium-sized mercenary groups, and it is not impossible to perform some simple Warcraft killing missions on weekdays, but against the Warcraft elite group, their winning rate is almost zero.
The Favran was very short, but he carried a large sword that was almost the same height as him, and this sword had a force bonus, which could increase his sword qi and make his moves more powerful. Favran nimbly shuttled through the monsters, slapping some small-sized monsters into the air with a single sword. The jackal chose the assassin profession after joining the mercenary group, his small knife is extremely sharp, and once the barb on the blade pierces into the flesh, it will open a bloody hole for the monster.
Favran and the Jackals work together, and the other members of the Eagle Mercenary Regiment are under their command.
Tacales said, "The Eagle Mercenary Regiment is better than I thought. β
"Although Favran has a bad personality and bad looks, he is barely a smart man and has a bit of talent," Filsi said. β
"They've all improved a lot," Lub said. β
Xia Zuo pursed his lips and said, "Cut, it's not very good, it's far worse than our White Lion Mercenary Group." β
Takales laughed, "Shazo is right. β
The mercenary group of four hundred and fifty people, the members are strong and weak, after more than ten minutes of fighting, a hundred people have been injured and five people have died, but the endless stream of demonic beasts seems to be endless, overwhelmingly flocking to the Prison City.
The head of the demonic beast is a flame beast, this kind of demonic beast is burning with blazing flames all over its body, but everything it touches will burn instantly, and once people get close to it, they will feel the scorching heat, and it is a very difficult demonic beast.
The water mages in the Favran command group built water balls to trap the flame beasts, but these mages only had a second-order and the others were all third-order, and instead of restraining the flame beasts, the water balls they threw made the flame beasts boil the water balls into boiling water, and when the boiling water splashed everywhere, all the people around them were killed.
Takales said, "That flame beast is strong. β
Filsie said, "The Flame Beast is a second-level Demonic Beast, and this one is also the best of its kind. β
Xia Zuo asked, "Is this the guy who commands the Warcraft Elite Regiment?" β
Filsie shook his head and said, "The Flame Beast doesn't have a high IQ and is not good enough to take on such an important role. β
Tacales asked, "Who could that be?" β
"I'm watching," Filsey said. β
Capture the thief and capture the king, when the Warcraft elite group has no leader, then they are a plate of scattered sand. What they have to do is to find out the Warcraft led by Takales, and remind the Eagle Mercenary Group to kill the Warcraft, or let them do it themselves, otherwise, this consumption war will last for a day and a night, or even a few days, and the Warcraft can afford it, but the Mercenary Group can't afford it.
Lub had the best eyesight of the men, and even in the dark he saw as much as the day, so when he looked down on the audience, he was the first to notice an out-of-place beast.
It was a very small beast, looking like a cat, it had white fur and a pearl-like luster, and its eyes were blue, like precious sapphires, very beautiful.
Lub asked Philsie, "What kind of monster is this?" β
Filsi's pupils narrowed and he said, "Phantom Cat." β
Phantom cats are magical beasts between the first and second grades, they have beautiful appearances, are good at demagoguery, make others obey their orders, and have a high IQ. Phantom cats are very rare, according to statistics, there are probably no more than a hundred phantom cats in this world, and some summoners have never seen a phantom cat in their lives. In fact, the summoner's guild has always been controversial about the level setting of the phantom cat, the phantom cat cannot be transformed into a human form, and it should be a second-level magical beast according to its ability, but the appearance of the phantom cat is often accompanied by a great disaster, and this peculiar foreshadowing power makes many people agree to classify it as a first-class magical beast. The two sides quarreled, and year after year, the phantom cat was summarized as a demonic beast between the first and second levels.
Filsi said: "The Phantom Cat is a very intelligent Warcraft, good at playing with people's hearts, and if it is there, then the command of this Warcraft Elite Group is definitely it." β
Tacales said, "I'm going to kill this phantom cat. β
"Nope." Filsey shook his head, "The phantom cat can control the thoughts and actions of five to ten people at a time, and it is said that the most powerful phantom cat is already a first-level demonic beast, which can control hundreds of people, and a face-to-face collision with it will only make itself its puppet." β
Takales asked, "What then?" β
Filsey said: "First inform the people of the Eagle Mercenary Group, we must first test this phantom cat to control several people at a time." β
Takales said, "I'll go." β
Takares jumped off the building and ran towards the center of the battlefield, although he and Faflan had fought several times in Marion City, but they didn't want to see Prison City swallowed by monsters, so when Tacales got the useful information, he had to share it with Faflan. However, Takares was a step slower, and when he finally reached Favran's side after slaying several monsters that had pounced on him, Faflan actually slashed at him with a swordβFavran had been controlled by the phantom cat.
