Chapter 11: The Eternal Overseer

In the early morning of the next day, everyone got up early to prepare for today's trip. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Simon asked Hinclair for a set of Brotherhood of Steel leather armor to wear, finally getting rid of the image of wearing a cloth robe all the time, and also increasing his defense. Although he is only wearing light armor, it will still affect the success rate of casting, but in order to increase his own defense, Simon believes that a cast failure rate of less than 5% is completely acceptable. And Simon also replaced the original longsword with a silver-plated longsword, which can deal more damage to the undead. Simon also brought the three magic items that Simon gave him yesterday, so that Simon has four magic items on his body, namely a necklace that can be invisible, a boulder bag to supplement long-range attacks, an electric eel potion that temporarily gives him the ability to discharge, and a sharp dagger - Spider's Fang.

Simon is very satisfied with his current equipment, compared to the poor and white when he first arrived in this world, the current equipment can be said to be luxurious. When Simon arrived at the assembly hall on the first floor, he found that Vanessa and Sincley had already arrived first. Vanessa sat back in her chair, her legs crossed on the table in front of her, and she lay relaxed, holding a square-headed arrow in her hand. Hinclair sat cross-legged on the ground, his hands resting naturally on his knees, as if closing his eyes.

Vanessa's outfit remained largely unchanged, except for a new short bow, no crossbow, and several quivers beside her.

Compared to Simon and Vanessa's light travel, Hincley can be said to be armed to the teeth. He was dressed in black full-body armor with silver runes of unknown significance, a nearly completely enclosed steel helmet beside him, and a giant hammer with sharp spikes at one end, which looked cold and shining.

Vanessa saw Simon coming and immediately said hello.

"Good morning, Simon."

"Good morning."

Simon walked over to the two.

Hinclair opened his eyes with a compelling glow, a symbol of his elemental race.

"Very good, everyone is very punctual, and there is still some time before departure, so I would like to say a few things first. Our mission this time is mainly divided into two phases, the first stage is to safely arrive at the warehouse where the paladin is located, and the second stage is to test the reality of the Sun Temple according to the situation according to the reply of the paladin. On our way to the central square, I'd like me to be the main attacker, you try to conserve ammo and spells, and I'll stand at the front of the line to attract the attention of the undead; Simon, on the other hand, responds in the middle of the team and acts at the opportune level, paying more attention to the buildings on both sides and protecting Vanessa in the back; As for Vanessa, she is at the back of the team, preventing sneak attacks from behind and giving me long-range support. Because my armor won't allow me to sneak all the way through, I'm asking you to work together to sweep away all enemies in your path. ”

"No problem."

Simon nodded in agreement, believing in Hinckley's experience.

"Okay, let's go."

Hinclair lifted the hammer in both hands and walked ahead with ease, while Simon and Vanessa followed behind him out of the Brotherhood of Steel and towards the central square of Silver City.

Simon found that he still underestimated the strength of Hinclave, along the way Hinclave seemed to incarnate into a humanoid tyrannosaurus, smashing all enemies to pieces, no skeleton or zombie could resist his hammer, he kept swinging his hammer tirelessly, and the speed of the team was much faster than Simon imagined.

Simon had nothing to do with the group, and Vanessa only occasionally shot an arrow to kill the skeletons wandering behind her, and the square-headed arrows she used dealt blunt damage and seemed to have magical powers that could easily shatter the skeleton's skulls.

Simon, who was really bored, began to chat with Vanessa.

"Does the Brotherhood of Steel have any other location besides its headquarters?"

"Well, there are stations in the four directions of Silver City, and it is more of a sentry tower to monitor the movements outside Silver City, after all, the situation in the city has been thoroughly explored by us."

"I don't think you can see that if you really mastered Silver City, you wouldn't have been attacked when you went out looking for supplies."

"No one can control the every move of all the undead creatures in the city, it can only depend on luck."

"Is our luck good or bad?"

As soon as Simon's group turned a corner, they were confronted with a strange combination.

Seven skeletons, four zombies, and a blood-tored warrior marched in order, while behind them was a strange skeleton in gray chain mail, far taller than its counterpart, with thick, blackened bones, and even more remarkable for its head being the skull of an unknown creature resembling a cow, two curved horns piercing into the sky, and pale flames burning in its hollow eyes. It wielded the slender bone whip in its hand, controlling the undead like a livestock.

The moment he saw this strange combination, Simon's past experience made him recite the spell for the first time, and quickly completed the spell casting gesture.

Strike first.

A cloud of fiery energy flew towards the bull-headed skeletons, and then exploded violently, shattering their formations, and the seven ordinary skeletons were scattered and killed on the spot, and the zombies were also hit hard, two died, and the remaining two zombies staggered around, struggling to get up.

"Well done!"

Hinclair couldn't help but praise this decisiveness, which was not like a new recruit on the battlefield, and he was impressed with Simon.

Although he is a beginner in spells and has zero spell-casting skills, he has a very keen sense of smell for battle and is a good seedling of a war mage. What's more, Simon is a warlock, and the improvement of his ability through normal learning is very limited, and it seems that only the battlefield is his destination.

Sinclair commented to Simon in his heart that he had foreseen how powerful a warlock with excellent combat talent would be in the future, and that it would be a nightmare for all enemies.

However, Sinclair did not waste the first strike advantage created by Simon, and immediately pointed at the still alive Blood Warrior, and a dazzling lightning slashed towards it.

This is a natural ability of the Elemental Race, and like the spell "Beam of Lightning", it can only be used several times a day, but it does not require any spells or gestures to cast.

"Electric shocks are useless against bone racks, but they are not good for zombies."

Under Hincla's lightning attack, the Blood Warrior who had been severely injured by the fireball was directly killed, and a zombie was also killed because it was within the range of Lightning's attack.

Under the attack of two spells, the enemy is left with only a bull-headed skeleton and a dying zombie.

Hinclair took advantage of the victory, killing the zombies in one blow and pressing them towards the bull-headed skeleton. Vanessa bent her bow and arrow, aiming at the flames in the skeleton's eye sockets, and her intuition told Vanessa that this should be the skeleton's weakness. Simon took out a smooth pebble from the boulder bag around his waist, and the stone felt very familiar as soon as he entered his hand, and naturally mastered the art of throwing stones, and instead of aiming at the skeleton's head, he chose the torso that was easier to hit.

The bull-headed skeleton surrounded by the three of them did not run away, the flames in its eyes moved, and it opened its mouth to let out a scream, which was very similar to the cry of the black knight when he died, full of malice and curse.

Simon was not affected in any way, and accurately hit the stone in his hand on the left chest of the bull-headed skeleton, and when the pebble with the power and destructive power of a stone crossbow hit its blackened ribs, there was a sound of gold-stone clashing, although the bull-headed skeleton was knocked out by the powerful force, but the ribs on its body were only broken twice, and the bones next to the wound were covered with subtle cracks.

But Hinclair and Vanessa, who were supposed to attack together, seemed to see something extremely terrifying, scurrying around like headless flies, and gradually moved away from the battlefield.

Simon, who had read the "Guide to Low-Level Spells", understood that this should be a spell-like ability similar to Dread, the effect of Dread can easily turn strong warriors into cowards, so that they only know how to keep running, trying to get away from enemies or close to friendly forces, and the creatures affected by the spell will remain helpless and incapable of fighting for the duration of the spell. Only a strong will can resist the influence of the fear spell, and although he doesn't know why he can be exempted from the fear effects of the bull-headed skeleton, Simon knows that he may have to face the bull-headed skeleton alone in a short period of time.

The bull-headed skeleton stood up from the ground, swung the bone whip in his hand, and slammed it into the air.

"Smack!"

With a loud sound, invisible fluctuations emanated from the bone whip, and two new skeletons suddenly crawled out of the ground in front of the bull-headed skeleton.

This guy can summon the undead!

Simon gave up on using the Boulder Bag to attack from ranged and decided that it had to be stopped from summoning the undead, and that Simon had to get his attention to prevent the Horned Skeleton from attacking Sinclave and Vanessa instead. Simon approaches the horned skeleton as he recites the incantation "Strike the Necrons". Although "Strike Necromancy" is not very powerful and can only be used against undead creatures, it has a certain chance of interrupting the target's movements. Sure enough, as Simon cast "Strike the Necromancy", a ray of light struck the Horn Skull, interrupting its whip swing, and Simon took the opportunity to approach the Horn Skull.

Ignoring the close range of the two skeletons, Simon slashed through and slashed at the horned skeleton's head with a single sword. Simon felt as if he had slashed a stone, and the force of the shock made Simon almost unable to hold his sword. And the horned skeleton's counterattack also came, and the miserable white bone whip slashed through an arc and hit Simon's back, if it weren't for Simon wearing leather armor, I'm afraid that his skin would have been broken at this time. Simon knew that he had to use spells to defeat his enemies, but under the attack of the horned skeleton's strange bone whip, Simon was overwhelmed, and from time to time he would be whipped on his body, and he would not have a chance to cast spells. And when the skeletons summoned by the Horned Skeleton also join the fight, Simon's situation is even more difficult.

However, Simon has no intention of distancing himself from the Horn Skull, his task is only to entangle the Horn Skull and prevent it from having a chance to cast spells, because he is not alone, he also has two teammates, and he believes that his teammates will come to his aid in time.

Before I couldn't hold on, of course.
