Chapter 54: Siege Training

"Why do you know it's me?" Rasul asked, curious.

"There's no way Mia could have come up with such a prank herself, because she'd be afraid of being beaten up by me." Aske said, "You must have taught her this little trick, and then used the phrase 'you can go and scare your regiment commander and make him look at you', encouraging Mia to ambush me at the door, right?" ”

"No, no, no!" Mia hurriedly jumped out and said, "It's not about the mentor, I want to try this new trick myself!" ”

"Mentor?" Asker asked.

"This little girl has a talent for understanding instantaneous steps." Rasul smiled and said, "I have taken her into the official Illanian Assassins, as well as my own disciple. With my careful cultivation, she will become the second most powerful white assassin of all timeβ€”after me, of course. ”

"Thank you Lord Rasul for your appreciation of her." Asker said, "However, the labor contract she signed with our Azure Sword comes first, and the matter of becoming an Assassin can be placed in the back row." ”

"Haha, the opportunity to become a white-clothed assassin is here, who would choose to be an ordinary mercenary?" Rasul said haughtily, "Besides, even according to the imperial law of the Eastern Solomons, labor contracts with minors are invalid. ”

"Then let the parties choose." Aske said lightly, "Mia, do you want to stay in our Azure Sword Mercenary Regiment, or do you want to follow this guy back to the Illanya Plateau?" ”

"Of course I'm staying!" Mia said without hesitation.

"Wait Mia, that's not what you just said!" Rasul's face changed, and he immediately exclaimed.

"You just asked me if I wanted to be an Assassin." Mia turned her head to look at him helplessly, "You didn't say you were going to take me away from everyone!" ”

"But if you become an Assassin, you must go to our Assassin base." Rasul still wanted to try to convince her, "Our training conditions are excellent, there is a lot of potion materials, and there are all kinds of extraordinary items and extraordinary equipment, with your status as my personal disciple, these precious materials can be said to be what you want." ”

"Look at the ordinary iron sword you are using now, it can easily break when it encounters an enemy with heavy weapons, right? Why don't you try our Assassin Hidden Blades and Hidden Crossbows? We've got some pretty cool Assassin uniforms, huh? ”

Mia hesitated a little when she heard this, and Aske immediately made up for it:

"He's a pervert, he likes big moms. His family is full of aunts. ”

So Mia's mind immediately appeared a picture of ghost animals: a group of strong aunts held her in their arms and rubbed their heads, and smiled affectionately:

"Come, Miya, call Shi Niang."

After a shudder, Mia turned her head stiffly and smiled awkwardly but politely:

"Master, I still want to be a mercenary......

Rasul was speechless, what does this have to do with my orientation! Wait, how will he know my preferences......

Rasul then fell into a mystical contemplation, and Asker patted Mia on the head and said:

"There are still a lot of problems with your playing style, and I'll teach you them one by one when I go back."

"Okay." Mia replied obediently.

"Let's go find Peggy." Asker said.

Leaving Rasul's training ground, the group came to the door of a meditation room.

Peggy was sitting on a mat meditating when she heard a knock on the door from behind her, and she turned around.

"Asker!" Peggy rushed in front of him and said with a tearful expression, "I've tried all kinds of methods, but I still can't do it with two things!" ”

"It's okay, I didn't expect you to learn it in a few days." Aske reassured her, "Take your time. ”

"Dual-minded? I have an idea. Rasul's voice rang out from behind.

Why did this guy come with him again...... Aske was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you mean that?" ”

"That's right." Rasul said, "Siege training. ”

The Siege Training was the final test for the Assassins to advance from the Black Rank to the White Rank, that is, to face the siege of eight enemies at the same time without falling behind.

What is the concept of facing eight enemies? Imagine that there are enemies standing in front of you, in front of the left, in front of the right, in front of the left, in front of the right, in the left rear, in the back of the right, and directly behind you, while swinging their swords at you.

Of course, if you are really surrounded, you will lose. Even if you are constantly moving, you will inevitably face 2-3 enemies at the same time, so quick reflexes and multitasking skills are important.

Considering that Peggy can steal thoughts, there is no doubt that this siege training will develop her ability to unleash stealing abilities while also freeing her attention to other things.

Hmm, it seems like you can try it? Aske pondered.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Hippocra University, Training Ground.

"Can this really work?" Peggy said without tears.

"Don't worry, we won't go to the highest difficulty at one time." Aske comforted her, "Let's start by fighting two people at the same time. ”

Peggy is speechless, the easy difficulty is to face you and this guy at the same time? And according to Mia, this guy's strength is not below you?

This is the easy difficulty of Hell Mode!

"Come on, let's try to see if the idea stealing can be activated normally." Asker said.

When Peggy heard this, she activated her ability and said, "You're thinking, wait a minute, use the dragon cut as a starting move." ”

"Yes, what about him?" Asker continued.

"He wants to test my strength." Peggy said.

"Is this the ability to 'steal' sequences?" Rasul showed an interested expression, "The versatility in the early stage is good. However, I remember that this sequence will only have a significant qualitative change after it is regularized. ”

"After Lv.10, it's still early for her now." Aske drew his sword, "Let's get started." ”

Peggy held her breath slightly, picking up two short swords in both hands at the same time.

Asker will attack first......

Her dagger in her left hand quickly raised, slashing down Asker's lion's fangs.

And then to the right!

Peggy was about to react when Rasul's sword spine struck her shoulder, causing a dull pain in her bones.

"It's too slow." Rasul smiled and said, "Since you have the ability to recover from the flesh sequence, then I won't keep my hands on it for the rest of the day." ”

"Come again!" Peggy gritted her teeth.

"Be optimistic about our attack intentions!" Asker snapped, his sword stabbing at her underside.

Peggy dodged back, her gaze quickly turning to Rasul, whose sword was about to slash at her head, and she quickly shrunk her neck in the air, dodging the opponent's flat swing.

"Well, you've learned to find a different way?" Rasul laughed and said, "So, how about adding a little more difficulty?" ”

He flicked his lower arm, and the sword suddenly conjured up multiple swords, flashing in the air, and Paige's pupils shrank suddenly.

Phantom Sword? Wrong! It wasn't a phantom sword, it was just a high-speed sword swing that couldn't be seen by the naked eye, and it suddenly and intentionally paused a few times in the middle of the way, using the remnants of human vision to form an afterimage of interference!

"Did you find out?" Rasul swung his sword sharply, creating several afterimages around him again, as if he had three heads and six arms in an instant.

"In Illanian language, it's called 'Habahon,' which translates to 'Sword of Illusion,' 'Sword of Phantoms,' and 'Sword of Phantoms.' If you just judge by sight, it's easy to be deceived! ”

"Don't be blinded by your eyes! Use your stealing powers! Steal our minds! Asker said quickly, attacking from behind her.

"You're right!" Peggy shouted and jumped back, dodging his slash, "You have to use your abilities and figure out how to deal with them, and your body has to keep up with your mind!" And you have to deal with two people at the same time! How can a normal person do so many things at the same time! ”

"If you can't do it now, then practice hard!" Aske responded, his long sword swiftly unleashing a triple stab, "You still have time to complain, it seems that the pressure on you is not enough!" ”

"On our side, the long-winded assassins are going to be stabbed!" Rasul said as he stormed as well.

Peggy's twin swords stumbled left and right, and it was quickly too late to respond, and the wounds on her left arm and right leg were cut.

"Give me some time to recover." Asker said this, motioning for Rasul to stop his attack.

"It's definitely too late to think about every action." Rasul instructed her, "All you're going to do is steal ideas. After sensing the enemy's intentions, the body should quickly follow the subconscious to counterattack, and your mind should not be distracted by the body at this time, but should continue to activate the ability to steal the enemy's next intention, understand? ”

Peggy propped herself on the ground and gasped slightly, the flesh near the wound began to wriggle, repairing the broken area.

"Do you use your subconscious mind to respond?" Peggy smiled wryly, "I'll try hard and come back." ”

So the three men collided with each other with their weapons.

Moments later, Paige was covered in blood and crumbling.

"Come again!" She struggled to unleash her ability to heal her wounds, straightening her chest again.

Such a tenacious and unyielding spirit also moved Rasul.

"Can you still hold on spiritually?" Asker asked solemnly.

"No problem." Peggy said with difficulty, blood and sweat forming a sticky patch on her face.

She wiped her cheek with the back of her hand and laughed hard:

"After all, this is not the first time this kind of training."

Aske was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted to what she said was exactly what she had been trained by herself in the underground training ground of the Constantinople Hotel in order to get revenge.

As a weak girl who had never received military training, she practiced with herself for four days in the underground training ground, relying on countless pains and injuries to force herself to remember how to swing a sword, how to dodge, and ...... How to fight.

It's just Peggy, at that time, you learned to fight in order to avenge the blood and revenge of your parents' murder.

What are you working so hard for?

Asker groaned and nodded solemnly.

"That's good." He decided to respect Peggy's choice, "I'm going to go." ”

"Look at it."
