Chapter 69: Clearing the White Stone Tower
The beautiful scenery, the babbling stream in the distance, and on the opposite side of the stream is a white stone tower built next to the mine, which was originally an ancient structure, but was purchased by the Scarlet Lily Regiments two years ago.
For that mine resource point, Lydia even moved the headquarters of the mercenary group, which shows how much attention is paid to it. The ancient buildings have been restored, and even some magical defense circles have been reinforced, and on the whole, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if not to be breached from the inside.
"What's next, let's just kill it?"
"There are patrols on the city wall, it's not easy to kill them directly, and it's dangerous for the boss to save them."
Yang Tietou behind him discussed with Li Jiesi in a whisper, and after all, Shi Yi had to make the final decision.
"Scout first, gather intelligence, and if there is nothing valuable to discover, then sneak in tonight and save people first."
Although Shi Weiwei is a member of the Scarlet Lily Troupe, she has been following Shi Yi since Shi Yi entered the upper echelons of the family, and she is famous in the Scarlet Lily Troupe, but she has not been back for a long time, and she is not familiar with this White Stone Fortress, so she still has to scout and wait.
This place is quite desolate and inaccessible, if the patrolmen on the high wall are serious and responsible, in a condescending situation, it is difficult for the people around them not to be found to reconnoiter the White Stone Tower, but the people on the high wall gather together to drink and play cards in the daytime, Shi Yi and these people are a little careful, and they will go around here.
(There may be underground tunnels and the like, but there are indeed no hidden paths on the surface, although they have been captured, but we can't help but admit that the entire fortress and its defense are very well arranged, and there is not a trace of gaps and dead ends...... If the patrol is serious and responsible. For Shi Yi, this kind of thing is already called professional, so it is actually quite rare to be highly praised by him, and at this time, Shi Weiwei, who was reconnoitering on the other side, suddenly signaled: Someone is coming.
It was five professional hunters carrying elk and wild boars, and it was obvious that they were heading towards the White Rock Tower.
"Boss, we are tired and tired every day for them to eat and drink, can we get an extra share in the end?"
"Yes, boss, those guys who take the lead don't look like good people, and I always feel like I'm thrilled to work with them."
", what are you afraid of? I inquired very clearly, when the time comes, it will be to loot a subhuman village, and no matter how dark and greedy those leaders are, they will not be able to take away all the valuable things, so let's follow this vote, which is at least equivalent to the total income of the previous five or six years. Speaking of which, Miss Lydia is really a good person, she has never been bullied or looked down upon in the past two years of trading with her, but unfortunately she doesn't understand that in this world, not good people will be rewarded. ”
The stout bearded hunter, apparently the leader of the five professional hunters, carried an old shotgun with fluctuating magical power, and when he finished speaking, he was complimented and flattered by those around him.
However, at this time, Shi Yi, Shi Weiwei, Yang Tietou, and Li Jiesi, who were hidden in the shade of the surrounding trees, jumped down, and the bearded hunter reacted the fastest, and instantly threw down the prey and raised the gun in his hand, but unfortunately he was Shi Yi's target, only to feel that the shadow in front of him flickered, and the gun in his hand fell into the other party's hand inexplicably, followed by severe pain in his abdomen, making him unbearably kneeling on the ground.
At this time, Shi Weiwei, Yang Tietou, and Li Jiesi also solved the other four, except for the bearded hunter, the other four were all extraordinary professionals at the beginning of the first order, stronger than formally trained soldiers, but also very limited. The main strength is that it has some strange abilities, which are difficult to guard against.
It's not difficult to deal with them, the difficulty is to solve them instantly, this is already very close to the White Stone Tower, if the gunshots or other sounds are slightly louder, it will inevitably attract the White Stone Tower to investigate, and at that time, don't think about sneaking in.
"As you just said, Captain Lydia is a very good person, so she has a lot of friends, and now we plan to sneak in to save her, can you help me, nod if you can, and shake your head if you can't." Shi Yi wiped the barrel of the old shotgun, and then directly stuffed this thing into the mouth of the bearded hunter in front of him, as he pressed the wrench lower and lower, the bearded hunter's eyes widened and widened, and finally nodded fiercely.
Obviously, not everyone can be calm and graceful in the face of pressure.
"Huh, big brother, you can kill these four fools behind me, take off their clothes and put them on, and then I'll send you in, now the people there are very messy, basically no one knows anyone, with me and you will definitely be able to blend in."
"Fuck...... Belch. ”
The four people behind the bearded hunter were just about to scold, but they were killed in an instant by Li Jiesi and his palm, this bearded hunter is really vicious enough, originally Shi Yi, Shi Weiwei and others did not kill the killer in the first place, but now after he said so, it is impossible not to kill. But people are not ruthless and unstable.
The bearded hunter's mind turned quickly, and as soon as he was controlled, he knew that the order of the White Stone Tower was probably going to be complicated, so in this case, he would get a little "guarantee" for himself, so that at least when he came out, he could take away the inheritance equipment of the four subordinates.
Shi Yi also thought for a while before he understood this guy's thoughts, and couldn't help pointing a gun at the other party and sneering: "You're not afraid that I will kill you afterwards?" After all, a guy like you doesn't have to stay in this world if you have the chance. ”
"After bringing you in, I'll find a chance to escape, my subordinates are gone, bringing you in is also a betrayal of the other party, they can't share my share anymore, in this case, I will find a chance to go back after bringing you in, and bring their items and equipment, it's not too much of a loss."
"Let's go, if you dare to make any changes, I will kill you as soon as possible. There is no match for me in the entire White Rock Tower, and I need to infiltrate it just because I care about the safety of Captain Lydia. "After being promoted to the second-order bronze armor corpse realm of the Corpse Raising Sutra, Shi Yi was conceited as an elder of an ordinary transcendent family, and he was no longer his opponent in life and death.
Unless the other party has entered the unpredictable realm and mastered the qualitative degenerative energy, but a master like that, who has been in this world for more than two years, has seen no more than a handful of them, and it is not so easy to encounter. Of course, with the peak of the transcendent era and the continuous improvement of the strength of the magic power in the world, there will be more and more professionals who take that step, but among them, they also include themselves.
"Kurt, what did you hunt back today? The ferocious boar you hunted back last time was as fleshy as a stone, and it almost knocked out Lao Tzu's teeth. ”
Came to the White Stone Tower, Shi Yi and Shi Weiwei carried the prey with their heads down, silently, because of burying the corpse and even making various contingency plans, the four of them dragged it until near dusk, and the dim light coupled with the cover of the bearded hunter Kurt, those patrolmen who were not serious and responsible quickly put a group of five people in.
This is a high tower surrounding the mine, there are some residential buildings and economic buildings in the tower, in the center of the tower are cross wooden stakes, and Lydia, Rafa, Serek, and some people loyal to Lydia are all hung there, dying, covered in blood, seeing such a scene, Shi Weiwei almost couldn't hold back and wanted to rush directly to save people, but was held down by Shi Yi, who was already mentally prepared beside her.
Although conceited, Shi Yi has never been arrogant, what he just said to the bearded hunter Kurt was threatening the other party, in fact, Shi Yi was not sure what kind of master there was in the White Stone Tower: looking at the control strength here, there should be no particularly strong people, otherwise these people would not be so wanton, if there is a crushing strong man, they will usually pay attention to no rules.
But even so, Shi Yi still doesn't plan to do it directly, there is a high chance that there is no and it is not absolutely nothing, not to mention that Lydia and they seem to be injured heavily, if they are brought with them, their own strength will undoubtedly be limited.
"If we are discovered, we will kill them directly, don't care about Lydia and them, we can save people as much as possible, but it's not worth putting ourselves in for this...... If they haven't been exposed, give Lydia and them the dark holy water at night to restore a certain level of combat effectiveness, and now, let's go find Connor first. ”
Shi Yi's left hand was extended, the iron claw appeared, and the back of his hand was inlaid with a crimson gem, at this moment, the brilliance on the gem was bright and dim, but it was Tuwang who was giving Shi Yi guidance, raising a dog for three days, remembering you for three years, the dog's memory is quite good, especially Tuwang and Kang Na are still friends who are playing crazy together, Shi Yi still clearly remembers the picture of Kang Na running wild with a dog back then.
Sending the hunted prey to the kitchen, Shi Yi arranged for Li Jie to follow the bearded hunter Kurt all the time, these two people are yin and ruthless, and they happen to be opponents of each other, but Kurt's performance has always been very honest, even if he sensed that Li Jie wanted to kill him and eliminate the future trouble once and for all, he did not fight back, but did not give Li Jie a chance, and only thought about escaping.
In fact, this is because in the hunter profession inherited by Kurt, there is a rather obscure hunter skill: nose hunting secret technique, this skill allows Kurt to remotely judge many information about a prey by identifying smells, of course, the most important thing is the type and strength of the other party.
It is precisely with the inheritance of this secret technique that Kurt can be promoted to a second-order hunter all the way, and even become a small leader, but this nose hunting secret technique is incomplete, so it only provides Kurt with a lot of knowledge, but it does not greatly improve his sense of smell, otherwise, this guy will not be so easy to capture by Shi Yi and others...... Even if you still can't escape, there is always room to shoot and warn.
However, after being captured, in close proximity, the smell Kurt smelled from Shi Yi made his scalp explode, the smell of high temperature and sulfur, the coercion brought by the smell, made Kurt deeply aware that no matter what the blood in this man's body was, in short, it was definitely an existence that he couldn't provoke, so he honestly simply wanted to escape, and if he could escape, he would earn it if he didn't lose it.
Night, kitchen.
The fat cook had fallen asleep, and a short figure stepped in, found half a plate of cold pork in the kitchen, and began to eat it, and the silver-haired girl's face puffed up.
In fact, with the level of vigilance here and her ability, she could have escaped a long time ago, but Connor refused to go, she wanted to find an opportunity here to save Sister Lydia and them, even if it was extremely dangerous, even if Sister Lydia had told her to leave.
But Connor has always felt that the Scarlet Lily Cluster is her home, and if her home is destroyed, where else can she go?
"Don't always stare at meat when you're young, eat more vegetables, otherwise you won't grow tall." Suddenly, such a muffled voice came from behind Connor, Connor turned around abruptly, but was knocked down by a dark shadow, and when she reacted and came back to her senses, she saw that it was a fat big dog, constantly sticking out his tongue and licking his face.
"Dirt...... Tuwang!? In an instant, the thought turned a thousand times, and finally the silver-haired girl hugged Tuwang's big head and cried, and all the hardship, torture, and fear for such a long time turned into big tears and flowed into Tuwang's hairy hair.
Shi Yi waited quietly, and when Kang Na's emotions were almost cathartic, he took out a few bottles of dark holy water test tubes and said: "Find a chance to give Lydia and them to use, it should be able to restore some of their self-protection ability, in addition, how much do you know about the people who are entrenched here now, what is their strength, who is the strongest person, and what profession?" ”
"The strongest person is the leader of the Red Beast Mercenary Regiment, the third-order barbarian swordsman Dihot, and the traitor of our regiment, the second-order red mage Suna, if it weren't for Sister Suna...... Phew, if it weren't for that traitor, Dihote wouldn't be Lydia's sister at all, his rank was promoted using some kind of dark magic, and although his strength was strong, he couldn't compare to Sister Lydia in terms of control. ”
"A dark ritual that can assist others in advancing to the third order? This shows that there is at least one third-order legal official behind this Dihot. Without accepting too much of Kang Nahan's complaints with too many subjective emotions, Shi Yi was keenly aware of the real trouble.
A well-prepared Judicial Practitioner can often kill several Warriors of the same rank at the same time, of course, they do not have such a great advantage when encountering battles, and the resource consumption and knowledge accumulation of each rank promoted are far greater than those of the Combat Rank.
Fighters have low consumption and are easy to promote, while legal officers have high consumption and are difficult to promote, restricting qualifications, but the strength they gain after changing jobs is often stronger than most of them.
……………
If he could, Shi Yi would like to put some poison in the diet of these guys in the White Stone Tower, which will greatly reduce their combat power, but in fact this is very difficult, there are few large-scale wars in history that have won the final victory because of the use of poisons, human beings have evolved so far, their immune and anti-poison systems are actually very strong, and the transcendent ones are even better than humans.
If you want to poison colorlessly and odorlessly, you need the help of a fairly high-level pharmacist. Therefore, after treating Lydia, Rafa, Serek and others, and allowing them to recover some of their combat strength, the counterinsurgency began directly. Kang Na went to deliver medicine, Shi Weiwei followed to protect her, and Yang Tietou, Li Jiesi and Shi Yi had already begun to kill people in their sleep, reducing the enemy's combat effectiveness as much as possible.
When someone finally sensed something was wrong and ran out, Lydia had already started to fight back with her cronies with weapons.
Although the deputy head of the original Blood Lily Regiment, the red mage Suna, successfully led some people to rebel, Lydia's personal charm and popularity are still very high, even if she is tied up or even tortured, she can't go too far in front of the public, because she is afraid that the people of the Original Blood Lily Group will mutiny.
If Dihote and Suna succeed in the end and everyone gets the money, then no one may care about what to do with Lydia in the end, after all, the masses will only follow the person who wins the final victory, but before the plan is not successful, even Dihott and Suna will not dare to do anything with Lydia, because many things will need to use these people in the future, and directly kill all the people of Lydia, Rafa, and Serek, which is indeed a desperate problem, but the people of the original blood lily group will also be injured and scattered.
And at this moment, Lydia picked up the long sword again, and many people from the Primordial Blood Lily Regiment were immediately shaken.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
When Dihote and Suna walked out of the tower in rags, they saw that the entire camp was already in chaos.
Although there were as many as a few mercenary groups besieging the Scarlet Lily Regiment, when Shi Yi and the others assassinated, they gave priority to killing the people of the Red Beast Mercenary Regiment first, and when Dihott reacted, the elite of his regiment had already lost more than half.
By this time, the continuous scuffle had spread throughout the camp.
"Lydia!? Bastard, I said at the beginning that I was going to kill her, but you refused, saying that the miners would mutiny and there would be a shortage of labor, but now it's good, after such a fuss, it will be even more impossible to hand over the goods. Dihott complained, but the next moment he had already picked up the giant sword and slashed at Lydia, this guy was not lustful, under the shroud of the sword wind, there was almost a terrifying tyranny that wanted to cut Lydia into meat sauce.
(This kind of spirit doesn't seem to be as bad as Connor said.) Although he is afraid of the mage who may be hidden in the secret, he can't just let the other party behead Lydia, if it is the heyday of her strength, Lydia may not be afraid of the barbarian swordsman Dihot, but at this moment, Lydia is only the usual thirty percent of her strength, just an empty shelf, as long as one is not careful, she may be directly beheaded by the other party.
"Vivi, Jace, you two sneaked over to plot against the female mage, and after she was holding a spell and using ......her hands," Shi Yi was already out of the sheath, slashing at the back of Dihot's neck like a moon.
"Hmm, mean!"
The sword defense with full muscle burst, how much force did it take to slash down in anger just now, and now it is going to be pulled back with greater strength, judging from this performance, it is indeed as Connor said, it is promoted to the third order with the blessing of abnormal dark rituals, although the strength has increased, but it is a problem in the control of power.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The sound of sword collision was endless, and with each attack and defense, Shi Yi devoured and brought back part of the strength, so that the next knife could be more fierce, faster and more ruthless, he didn't use other abilities, just using the Bagua Knife Technique itself, it was already so suppressed that Di Hot was difficult to get back.
It's not that the people of the other mercenary groups have not discovered this, but Lydia has a strong sense of support, and she took the lead in leading those who were loyal to her to face the people of the other mercenary groups, and, before the rebellion of the Scarlet Lily Group, many of the Scarlet Lily Group people were coerced, and it was okay that Lydia was controlled, once Lydia got out of trouble, the people who missed the past suddenly turned around.
Although it is still inferior to the combat power and number of the invading mercenary group, it is not a problem to hold on for a while, on the other side, the red mage Suna found that Dihote was in a bitter battle, and immediately began to hold a spell, the person who can suppress Dihott is certainly not a weak person, and she can't expect a low- and medium-level small spell to pose enough threat to the other party, but just when she was holding a spell and preparing a stronger spell, Shi Weiwei, who was hiding in the shadow, and Li Jiesi, who suddenly jumped out of the crowd, immediately attacked it with all their might.
A mage who can mix to the second order, it is basically impossible not to prepare a defensive spell and a defensive magic weapon for herself, the orange energy wall suddenly wrapped and protected her, whether it was a flying knife covered with blue energy or a yin wind poisonous palm, it failed to break through the protection, but under such a pursuit, it was impossible to continue to hold the spell with peace of mind.
"Who the hell are you? If you just want to get a share, there's no need to play with me at all, Lydia, that slut defends the interests of the subhumans, do you know that by doing this now, you are making enemies of the human transcendentals? ”
In all directions, rain and wind, although Dihote also has the ability to attack back to the last two, he can clearly feel that his pace is completely being led by the other party, making moves and attacking mistakes, and the opponent's knife skills are like a carefully calculated lost swamp, leading him step by step to the desperate situation of death.
"Forget it, I still won't play with you, just send you on the road." Suddenly returned to the knife, and gently wiped the blade with the iron claw of his left hand, Shi Yi didn't care at all about what Dihote said, subhumans, referring to elves, dwarves, orcs and other existences, most of the subhumans are indeed in a hostile state with the human camp, but that kind of thing itself is Lydia's own choice, and the subhuman race that people like her would favor, no matter how evil it is, it can't be much evil.
Shi Yi suddenly returned the knife, and before Dihote could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw a flash of spiritual light in his face, and the next moment he was knocked into the air by a blow from the enhanced corpse demon, both sides are also third-order, and they are also both strength strengthening tendencies, but Dihot, who has an inferior mental momentum, is obviously not the opponent of strengthening the corpse demon at this time, especially after the enhanced corpse demon is loaded with the bloodthirsty military flag.
The Bloodlust effect itself has a certain strength amplification effect, and this is also an aura ability.
Bloodthirsty Banner, Second-Order Boutique Magic Weapon:
Enchantment, bloodthirsty, wound tearing, can increase the combat power of units within the radius, can increase the damage of enemy units in the area, but will continue to consume mana.
Dihote was bombarded into the air by the enhanced corpse demon, and then the evil fire of the ghost king spewed attack, the blazing magic fire, continued to hurt Dihote's body, and this guy had just landed, and what he saw was the Tuwang charge covered by solid rock armor protection around him.
"Ahh
With a roar, he swung his sword and slashed hard, but even a brute swordsman with enhanced attack power could not break through the armor with one blow, and with a bang, he was once again knocked backwards.
A one-time continuous triple summoning is also a load on Shi Yi's spirit and dragon power, but the explosive offensive that comes with it can force the opponent to show flaws and weaken the blood armor.
As early as when he set up and launched the three waves of attack of the war pet, Shi Yi was already accumulating strength, and then broke out this blow: the person was in front, the knife was behind, and it was already in the dark when he started, Shi Yi's style of knife was like a cavalry urging a charge, fierce and vicious. Under the action of the huge force, the sword light was mixed with a rumbling roar, like thunder, making it difficult for people to even resist the thought.
Shi Yi's strength is fierce at the same time, and he has both control and control, so even if the opponent can block this knife, he still has the strength to turn the knife light suddenly, from extreme movement to extreme static, and then from extreme static to extreme movement, and explode, making the sword light scurry like a dragon and snake, devouring and killing a knife.
It's a pity that this guy Diholt is not a super-first-class opponent, a wonderful duel needs two people to complete, so that there are ups and downs, offense and defense are mutually reinforcing, and like at this moment, there is some one-sided abuse and killing, Diholt can no longer resist when facing Shi Yi's first heavy sword.
"My master won't let you go!" With such a roar, the next moment the man was drowned in silver sword light, and then the rolling red blood soaked the silver.
"No, you're going to die, what does this have to do with your master?" Shi Yi's wrist flicked, and the keel scimitar in his hand was also accompanied by the bending of the blade, and there was a buzzing explosion of blood beads, which was cleaner than wiping it with a handkerchief or something, and then it would be retracted into the scabbard by Shi Yi.
Although the melee in the field is not over, there is no one worthy of a slash in the field, Shi Yi just asked the ghost king and the corpse demon to help, under the power of the bloodthirsty military flag, all the members of the ghost king's soul shepherd demon dog group were promoted to the first order of combat power, and even the strength of the ghost king has increased to a certain extent, and Tuwang on the side ran to the top of the white stone tower after reinstalling himself with solid rock armor, this guy likes to pester little Lori, and I don't know who to follow.
It is said that pets are like owners, but Shi Yi feels that he doesn't have this problem!?
And at this moment, on the tower, Shi Weiwei and Li Jie have already forced Suna into a dead end, but Li Jie has a scorch wound in the lower abdomen that was bombarded by a flame bomb, Shi Weiwei also looked a little embarrassed, although the mage was forced to close by the two assassins is very disadvantaged, but Suna, as the deputy head of the Scarlet Lily Regiment in the past, has the ability, in fact, if it were not for the process of the three of them, Suna suddenly failed to cast a spell, she may not lose this battle.
"Come out, Connor, let me see you again."
Suddenly, Suna's expression became calm, and she no longer resisted stubbornly and struggled, but said this to her surroundings.
"Actually, I never knew why you liked Lydia so much? I saved you back then, and I've always been very good to you, why do you like Lydia so much, but you don't like me? ”
“……”
After a moment of silence, ripples appeared in the void, and Connor appeared.
"Because Sister Suna has always been strict, although Sister Lydia is also strict sometimes, most of the time she will smile very gently at us, will eat more with us than anyone, will play with us and tell jokes, these Sister Suna will never ......"
“……”
"I see. Because Lydia is gentle, I have to be strict, and that's how I was when I was trained, obviously my grades in my schoolwork were better than that guy's, but everyone just preferred to gather around her. ”
"Sister Suna, surrender, you know, Sister Lydia will definitely forgive you, even if you can't be the deputy head anymore, Sister Lydia will definitely not hurt you!" Connor stepped forward and said, but all she saw was a cold smile.
"In this life, people will always pursue those things that they don't have. And suffer for it, and suffer for it, in fact, what have I gained by leading this rebellion? Oh, but Connor, there's no way I've turned back, and I'm not looking back. The next moment, the woman jerked out a dagger and plunged it into her chest.
Seeing this scene, everyone present stiffened unexpectedly.
"The dagger is the last dignity of the mage. This was the day when the teacher took me in, taught me the truth, and I didn't care about it at the time, but I didn't think that I would really use it. With that, the woman fell backwards and fell from the window of the tower.
"Sister Suna!" Kangna pounced, but what she saw was the scene of the female mage falling like a butterfly, she didn't see death, but this time the bits and pieces of getting along in the past were even more heartfelt, it turned out that she didn't like Sister Suna.
"Okay, okay, Kangna, Tuwang has come to see you, cry if you want to, Suna she's not a bad person, she ...... It's just that he's too strong and never wants to admit defeat. ”
The comparison of the strength of the transcendent is not determined by the number of people, with the addition of Shi Yi, it is impossible for Lydia to lose, when the casualties reach a certain number of proportions, more and more people escape from the White Stone Tower, leaving only the terrifying vicious dogs and corpse demons behind them, which is still unfinished.
