Act96 Prairie Fire VII.
The soul in Gross's body has gone through several versions of the game, and the battle with Diel's dead is not once or twice, and those seemingly eerie skeletons are not too much to say that they are his old opponents.
He knew that the two key figures of the "Ambition Rebellion", "Black Blade" Sask and "Death Cloud" Melville, in the game of his previous life, these two guys stirred up trouble and turned the entire northern land of the Elantra kingdom upside down-
However, this time is completely different from the past.
At the same point in the game, the average strength of the players is basically at the initial level of employment, and his current level is LV28, which has reached the high level of employment, combined with his own combat experience and awareness, the strength is fundamentally two worlds different from those players in the previous life.
Two more levels, and he will enter the pinnacle of employment, and Gross even has the idea of competing with Sask-
He knew very well that the mutant skeleton had the strength of the first order of awakening, but he didn't have any fear, but there was a kind of excitement to try.
"War maniac", in the face of battle, Gross has never lacked enough courage and enthusiasm in his bones.
After everyone had left the room, there was silence all around, and occasionally there was some movement from a few other places, and Gross thought for a moment, and after a brief wash, quickly climbed into bed.
……
Anna left.
She stayed in this temporary mercenary camp in the Silver Leaf Forest for less than half an hour, and then she got back into the carriage with the strange black cat in her arms—
The coachman was a young man with a stern and old-fashioned face, and Alberto was very familiar with that face, because the boy happened to be one of his colleagues.
The whip was waved high, and in the quiet wilderness of the Silver Leaf Forest, with the shouting of the groom, there was soon a burst of "tick-tick" horses' hooves, and the carriage was not moving fast, but after a while, it had disappeared from Alberto's field of vision.
He couldn't help but mutter.
This woman had come to the Silver Leaf Forest from Ensada and had only talked to the mercenary leader in front of her, but other than that, she didn't seem to have done anything—
This was Alberto's perception, but he didn't think so when he stood aside at Sask and Melville.
This was the conversation they had just had with Lady Anna.
"Lord Anna, weak humans are not worth mentioning, these stupid and incompetent nobles, they have already lost once in the 'Fog Pine War', we don't mind, let them relive the bitter fruits of defeat......"
Melville the Lich seems to have a desire for performance in his character, and he speaks in a rapid and strong tone, except that the body of the deceased does not rely on the vocal cords and chest cavity to make sounds, so that from his jagged mouth, there seems to be a cacophony of noise.
What a cocky guy.
Sask couldn't help but feel a little amused when he saw Melville's excited appearance, and these psychological changes, reflected in his demeanor and demeanor, were temporarily absent-minded-
As a "resurrected person", Sask's memory still has some impressions of the human aristocracy, it is true that there are many corrupt and degenerate people in this group, but as the ruling class of the human kingdom, the aristocracy has a powerful force-
The so-called power is still above the strength after all. Sask had long been convinced of this.
The nobility of Elante?
The loser of the "Fog Pine War", who was trampled on all honor and dignity by the iron hooves of the Tassia people?
Although this is all a fact, Sask understands that at the level of large-scale wars between countries, there are many factors that determine victory or defeat, and the strength of a certain nobleman is not the most important thing-
Even the loser of the war is not an opponent to be underestimated.
It's been the third day of coming to the sun-drenched surface world, and in the past few days, Sask has obtained quite a lot of information from Anna's hands, not only about the Wolf family in Talen, but also about the general situation of Nogo and even the various forces in the Northlands-
And the enemy they faced this time was definitely strong enough compared to their improvised team.
If it is a head-on battle, according to Sask's experience, it is very likely that both sides will fight to lose -
Their "mercenary group" has a thousand people, although there are many cannon fodder troops, but at least, a hundred skeleton cavalry and two hundred skeleton archers can be regarded as an elite force, and the rough flesh puppets and zombies can also contain the enemy well.
However, it was not in line with Sask's original intention to consume his family in the first battle of the human world.
Soul fire jumped in his eye sockets, and judging by his expression, his eyes were flickering.
"That's a good point, Angus and I mentioned your names, and he said you were all trustworthy guys."
Despite the Lich Melville's bloody statement, Anna kept smiling, nodding her head in approval, but after a pause, she continued:
"However, I intend to remind you about the purpose of the battle at hand. You don't need to defeat that order, if you can delay it for two or three days, you'll have succeeded. ”
"Lady Anna, I have a question."
Standing still for a moment, Sask spoke. He kept a distance of more than a meter from the woman, speaking elegantly, and when Anna moved her gaze to his face, he asked slowly:
"Is the use of any means permitted?"
"Any means? Of course, no problem! But if you don't want to mess with the church, it's best not to reveal your true identity. ”
Sask nodded, and it was only then that his stereotypical face finally showed a smile, and he made a standard gentlemanly gesture to the woman, then took a step back and said no more.
"Lady Anna, we will not let you down."
Melville the Lich once again swore his word.
……
The afternoon sun was strong, even though it was winter, but out of a natural aversion to the sun, too many of the dead still chose to stay quietly in the tent -
The bodies of the dead have been specially modified, filled with flesh and blood that make them look like living humans, in fact, there are no such things as the legendary sunlight that can harm the dead themselves.
After Anna left, Sask was about to return to the tent to gather his men for the pre-battle arrangement, when the lich Melville stood behind him, looking at his back, and couldn't help but show an imperceptible sneer.
"Anna-sama's beautiful face is truly envious!"
The space inside the dome tent was quite empty, and the other eighteen dead recruited by Angus were sitting or lying on makeshift marching beds, and the dead did not actually need these things for rest, all the beds and dry food were only used to hide people's eyes and ears—
Seeing Sask's arrival, a female vampire rose to greet her, her complexion as fair as the finest jade, and her beautiful face showing a soft smile.
She had just seen the woman outside the tent, but after saluting, she retreated back into the tent.
Sask nodded at her with a cold expression.
