Chapter 139: Provocation
Since the ships sent by the Holy See had not yet arrived in Iberia, the group returned to Valencia first, and then continued to accelerate the plan and start leveling.
Of course, the focus is on Peggy, since she has already arrived at Lv.19, and she is only one step away from the demigod threshold, so Mier has concentrated most of the acceleration plan resources on her, constantly looking for various Peggy's insights when she breaks through in the parallel world.
Secondly, the one who cultivates the hardest is Mia, who locks herself in the meditation room every day and talks to herself, not like she is comprehending the law, but like she is chanting scriptures and cultivating immortals.
Everyone was also a little surprised by Mia's unusually serious attitude. After all, Miya has always been fun-loving and noisy, and it was a big surprise that she was able to sit still in the meditation room this time.
As we enter June, the weather in Iberia is getting hotter. As the rate of decay of the corpses accelerated, the undead's offensive from the plateau gradually slowed down. On the other hand, the major mercenary groups have also arrived in the kingdom of Aragon-Castile one after another, greatly strengthening the strength of the human camp.
So on the side of the bull mercenary group, they launched a plan to counterattack the Ramangcha Plateau, and the major mercenary groups were responsible for their own implementation.
One day, Asker, the leader of the Azure Sword, suddenly came to the office of the Grand Master.
"I want to take on a mission." He said.
"Oh, the Azure Sword has a mission, right?" Grand Master Roger. Deslar was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a smile on his face and took out a stack of papers from the bottom of the cabinet.
These are all backlogs of difficult and almost impossible to complete, such as assassinating undead demigods, breaching port fortresses, cutting off mountain supply lines, etc., etc., which are the most suitable for the Azure Sword to complete - after all, they are an elite mercenary group that can easily help the Elf Queen integrate internal forces even if they send a letter.
"Ah, it's not the Azure Sword, it's me who takes on the mission." Asker corrected him.
"You? Oooh oh. Grand Master Deslar immediately understood.
Captain Asker is a law-level transcendent. Since the promotion of the path of law depends on comprehension, it will naturally encounter corresponding bottlenecks.
By participating in high-intensity battles, seeking breakthroughs at the juncture of life and death is also a training method that many transcendents will choose.
"The Plantagenet Mercenary Regiment, which has been fighting against the undead strikers in the northern region of the plateau recently, has begun to ask for support from our side." "Why don't you go over there and support them?" ”
"Okay." Aske nodded, thinking that this guy was pretty good.
It's a support mission, but I don't set a specific, quantifiable mission goal, and it's clear that it's "how convenient for you to come", and it seems that the other party also guessed that I came to seek a breakthrough in my training.
At this time, Asker has completed the specialization of the two skills of [Ambush] and [Rebellion], and has been successfully promoted to Lv.18, and the next thing is to comprehend a new skill, so as to enter Lv.19.
This skill is called [Provocation], and it is a very unpretentious skill that can force the opponent's attack target at itself.
Although it sounds very unforced, considering the Nine Swords of the Stars, everyone can understand.
Xingchen Nine Swords, as the most compelling extraordinary swordsmanship, has a variety of BUG-level effects such as "Must Hit", "Must Break Defense", "Remote Ineffective", "Percentage Blood Deduction", "Silent Enemy", "Forced Removal of Hostilities", etc., and people give the nickname GM Nine Swords.
However, as a swordsmanship, it certainly has a natural drawback, that is, the sword's attack range is too short.
If your opponent flies a kite from a distance with high mobility and keeps a long enough distance from you, then it doesn't make sense for you to slip through the Nine Style of the Stars...... After all, your sword can't hit the opponent at all.
Therefore, using the [Provocation] skill to manipulate the opponent's hatred, making the opponent extremely eager to attack him, so that he unconsciously gives up the idea of keeping his distance, is a very effective law skill to make up for the weakness of the Nine Styles of the Stars.
However, when Asker tried to comprehend this skill, he encountered some tricky problems:
There is no object to provoke.
In the island of the hearth, the girls were obedient to him. Even if he deliberately insults and says "you are all a bunch of noisy ducks", everyone will only cooperate with "quack quack" and will definitely not have any anger or irritation.
Therefore, Asker can only go outside to seek the object of training, and as for the ancient books that keep the Hearth Island, he will take them with him, and he can go back every night to inspect everyone's upgrade progress.
After receiving the mission contract from the Grand Master, Asker immediately set off, only to meet the old man Padro, the recruiter he had seen last time, at the gate, and the two exchanged a few words of greetings by the way.
"Captain Asker! You have recently been a celebrity in our bull mercenary group, and everyone knows that your Azure Sword single-handedly resolved the division of Lusitania and won us the support of the half-elf force, and now almost all the brothers in the regiment know the name of the Azure Sword! Old Padro complimented.
"Ahem, I'm just doing a little bit of work." Aske said modestly, "There's nothing to show off. ”
"Are you going out on a difficult mission again?" Old Padro looked at the contract in his hand and smiled, "Is it to assassinate a demigod?" Or breach the fortress? Or cut off the line of the undead army? ”
"Neither." Askeyang shook the contract in his hand, "It's just to go to the Ramangcha Plateau and support the front of the Plantagenet Mercenary Regiment." ”
"Oh, the Plantagenet Mercenaries." Old Padro gave a look of disdain, "You have to be careful, those Britannias have some problems with their brains." ”
"How?" Asker asked casually.
"They like women's clothing." Old Padro said.
Asker: ???
Wait, it shouldn't be women's clothing, it's just that Scots have the custom of wearing skirts.
"Hahahaha." Aske smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as you don't lag behind on the battlefield, you might be able to run faster in a skirt." ”
Old Padro still wanted to persuade him, but suddenly he seemed to remember something, and shut up in a daze.
He suddenly noticed that this Captain Asker, with black hair and brown eyes, seemed to be a human race from Ciris's side.
And one of the major features of Cirith is that it is rich in, so isn't it ......
"Ahem, in fact, in addition to wearing skirts, these Britannia are still okay in battle, and they are best at using broadsword charges and platoon gun shooting." Old Padro hurriedly changed the topic, "It's that most of them are arrogant and rude, so I suggest that you take the contract that the Grand Master gave you with you and show it to them when the time comes, which can save a lot of trouble." ”
"Okay." Asker, who didn't know that he was being treated as a, smiled and nodded to show that he understood, and then waved goodbye to old Padro.
