Chapter 22: Battle Royale
Why is the peerless master always eager for an evenly matched battle, eager to kill the opponent with 1 point of blood left in the hearty fight?
Because it's cheap.
No, because of loneliness.
No, because opponents are hard to find.
There is a saying that is very meaningful: you are not worthy of being an opponent, and you are not qualified to be a friend.
In a battle that occurs in the field, whether it is a battle of annihilation that crushes the opponent, or a stubborn resistance that is crushed by the opponent, a one-sided battlefield situation is normal. Where did they come from, so many fought from dark to dawn, and finally waited for reinforcements to blow the horn of a counteroffensive. I've seen too much in my childhood, I've seen more of the return of the Great Sage, Jiang Liu'er, male (matched?) No. 1, kill if you say kill, or kill if you say kill without a corpse, it's real, domestic conscience.
So, the dark whistle was touched, the mage trap was lifted, and there were eighty ambushes hidden in advance, how could Carlos lose, how could he lose.
Dandema. Blue feather, single tooth. Evil Tooth, Bald Brother, the three of them are long-term guests of Ravenhold Manor, the elite of the League of Assassins, and the best among the thieves, their own stealth and anti-stealth abilities are at least B+ or A- level, and there is no pressure to touch the sentry and anti-submarine by moving the real eye of Tanji, which has its own permanent stealth. The 4 bright posts on the periphery and the 3 dark piles were killed instantly without realizing it.
"Now the little young man, I think that rubbing the fireball and rubbing the ice arrow is called a mage? Superficial, impetuous, do you know the two silent countermeasures to detect magic, do you know the three silent ways to remove magic traps, don't even know the four ways to write fennel, and come out to pick up the work of killing people, which teacher taught you. Uncle Fang Brick shook his head, using his arcane vision and superior knowledge, he easily eliminated the magic traps and warning spells around the assassin's camp.
Then, it's wow wo )。
During this period, two mages tried to resist stubbornly, one was burned by the magic feedback effect caused by the successful countercasting of the bricks, and the other was taken away by the old fritter Biglas of the battlefield with a set of suspected orange weapons Tokaral, breaking tendons, flat A, slashing, and full of blood and no injuries.
In addition to the six soldiers guarding the beer keg, Carlos's side 94 (plus Tanji 95, it seems that you don't need to count her) beat 37 (and 7 sentries were touched by thieves), how to lose, how to lose, three to fight one can be counter-killed?
"Young master, 28 people were annihilated, 8 people surrendered, and a very powerful thief on the other side escaped." Ymir got down on one knee and reported to Carlos. Ymir was unhappy when he received the order to retreat the cavalry, but Carlos's secret order gave him endless hope, and the door to the nobles had opened a crack in him. So he and two other cavalry captains of the Barov family led their men to gnaw dry food in the strange Hinterland primeval forest for five whole days, but there was no fire.
"Our casualties." Carlos asked.
"Five people were injured and two died." Ymir replied.
"Huh?" Carlos couldn't believe that there were so many casualties in the all-out battle of annihilation.
"All the casualties came from the thief who escaped, he was very powerful." Ymir replied with a bowed head.
"Collect the bodies of the fallen brothers, properly place the wounded soldiers, light the fire, keep watch, and rest here tonight, Ymir, arrange the sentry." When Carlos had finished speaking, he drew his Thursilver dagger (or a dagger for Carlos today), pinned his purse to the trunk of the tree, and said to the three Ravenhold Assassins leaning in the shadows of the tree, "I want his life." ”
"An interesting game." The bald brother used vanishing.
"A great bounty." Mr. Lonetooth goes into stealth.
"Can I participate?" Tanhime joined in the fun, but was ignored by Carlos and was angry.
"Isn't the master interested?" Biglas asked, looking at the indifferent Night Elves.
"I served Sir Carlos only to get news of my sister, and I don't have much desire for money." Dandemar replied.
"But money buys a lot of news, doesn't it?" Biglas asked rhetorically, "Little Carlos has at least 20 gold coins in his money bag, which is already a huge prize, and the master is not interested?" ”
Dandelmar uses the natural skill: Shadow Escape, and Dandema starts the sprint.
After a while, Biglas asked Carlos, "Do you need the old man to go over there and smoke a roll of paper cigarettes?" ”
Carlos paused for a moment before he realized that Biglas was asking him if he needed to leave for a while, to give Carlos a space to interrogate the captives.
"No, there are some things that don't need to be investigated, Ymir, go and deal with them." Before Carlos could finish speaking, Ymir the dog-legged had already understood the subtext, and led his men to take the tied captives away, so as not to affect the mood of the adults with screams and cries.
With good eyesight, Carlos has a +1 rating of Ymir.
"Uncle, do you have paper cigarettes?"
"Yes, you are okay with this?"
"I've been thinking about it for years, but my family doesn't allow me to smoke."
"Men, what is the lottery for eating and drinking, women's tickets, come on, good Arathi tobacco leaves, high-grade translucent mulberry paper, roll on, roll on."
Two old smokers (yes, two) have finally found common ground.
As a veteran assassin who has been in the industry for more than ten years, he is dismissive of these so-called companions. A squeamish rookie mage, an amateur peer who doesn't know how to pretend to understand, a stupid aristocratic domestic thug, and a noble private soldier who is afraid of death. If it weren't for the good pay, Shadowfang would have flashed a long time ago. If all the team's commissions were given to him, Shadowfang would even dare to assassinate Carlos alone. Maybe it's better to go it alone, thought Shadowfang on the run.
There are pursuers behind him, and his sixth sense is unique to thieves, and his opponent is difficult to entangle, so he boldly spends precious escape time to deceive his own whereabouts and successfully confuses the enemy.
After a night on the run, Shadowfang finds a cave where brown bears spend the winter when the sky is slightly bright, and after cleaning up the footprints and camouflage, Shadowfang prepares to sleep in the foul-smelling cave for a while.
But as soon as he entered the light sleep, the smoke poured into the cave, and there was no way to stay in the cave any longer or wait for death, so Shadowfang quickly made a dummy cloth bag out of dry grass and gravel with the shirt under the leather armor.
Throwing a sack to distract enemies, Shadowfang unleashed his vanishing ability in an attempt to escape, and was greeted by three rounds of Venom Hand crossbow arrows with a green glow.
In order to avoid being made invisible by the poisoned arrows, Shadowfang made a defensive stance with his back against the trees, vigilantly watching the direction the arrows were coming from.
After a long time of no movement, Shadowfang was fully sensitive, trying to find clues about his opponent. There is an unnatural shaking of the leaves there! As the Shadowfang Throwing Knife struck decisively, the enemy's blade smeared his defenseless neck.
The battle between the assassins was short and deadly.
The strength quickly withdrew from the body, the eyes became so heavy, and the shadow fang fell, and the last picture of his life was that the opponent was a big bald head.
"Hehe, Brother Bald, no, Uncle Bald, I will share the bounty you promised." Tanji put away the flying knife of Shadow Fang, ran out of the bushes in a hurry, and reluctantly returned the delicate hand crossbow to the bald brother.
After searching the body, the bald brother cut off Shadowfang's head and said to Tanji disdainfully, "I don't owe a little girl pocket money." ”
"Hee-hee, you're a good guy." After receiving a positive answer, the small wealth fan was relieved.
"Go tell the elves and trolls that the bounty is mine." The bald brother arranged for Tanji to work.
"Oh." Completed early and divided early, Tanji decisively disappeared from the bald brother's field of vision. It's amazing that he can run so fast in a stealth state, the bald brother shook his head speechlessly.
"What a seasoned opponent. If it weren't for the bounty, I really wanted to have a one-on-one duel with you, you said yes, Brother Onetooth. The bald brother sighed as he looked at the headless corpse.
The forest went unanswered.
