Chapter 18: Infinitely Expanding Ambition
The Rainforest Spears are the newest to be founded, but the most numerous, of the four professional legions of the Death Fortress.
The corps is basically made up of female professionals, and Amazon is overwhelmingly numerous.
Their Legion Commander is the first student of the Chant Clan Queen, the so-called "Great Apprentice" - Seria the Phantom Spear.
This woman is a legendary spear Amazon, proficient in close-quarters combat in javelin throwing, and her original form is very peculiar, and she can create many illusions with good combat power to aid her in battle.
These illusions can be almost as real as they look, and all of them use all of the Amazon's perks.
Crucially, these illusions can also create more illusions, up to a thousand.
The so-called "elite squad" that lured the sisters into the trap before was an illusion created by this guy.
And in addition to being able to create a large number of illusions with great combat power, her main body can also move freely in these illusions.
In other words, if you can't destroy all the illusions at once, no one will be able to kill her in battle.
The deputy commander of the legion, "Piercing Arrow" Virgil, is a very good long-range crossbow Amazon, and she is very rare in this series of Amazons, and she is good at using crossbows as weapons.
The rate of fire of the crossbow is much slower than that of the bow, not only is it less operable but also very bulky, and the general bow and arrow system Amazon will rarely choose to use the crossbow as a weapon, only when there is really no good bow to use to make a transition.
But Virgy is very good at using crossbows, and she uses them to the fullest.
The high-grade Dark Gold Crossbow has the advantages of long range, high power, excellent armor-piercing ability, and easy aim, and this woman's primordial form can greatly increase the flight distance and power of the ammunition fired by her weapon, and can also greatly enhance her eyesight, allowing her to aim at targets from very long distances.
And not only that, but the most powerful thing about her prototype is that it allows her to affect the trajectory of the ammunition after it has been fired, allowing it to bypass obstacles on the trajectory of the bullet road, and even make a turn.
It is said that after obtaining this primordial form, she once shot a dark gold demon with an arrow across an entire stone forest, so she was given the title of "Piercing Forest Arrow".
Both Virgil and Seria are students of Fina, the current Queen of the Bard Clan of the Howorth Islands, and they had received a message from their teacher asking them to help find a way to get rid of a necromancer named "Xue Hua".
The clue that Fina told them at the time was that Xue Hua was just a rookie who had just reached the second world for the first time in his sixties.
The two sisters, on the other hand, had already reached the legendary level decades ago.
If it weren't for the fact that they had joined the command structure of the Second World Front and formed a legion themselves, I am afraid that the two would have returned to inherit the position of the queen of the tribe.
It is not even possible to say that there will be a fratricidal war because of this.
So, when Fina gave them this task, they almost didn't hesitate for a moment, and just casually agreed.
In the minds of the two of them, with their current power and strength, it was not too easy to get rid of a rookie who had just arrived in the Second World, so they didn't even bother to find someone at first.
Knowing that the Azmodan invasion broke out in the war zone at the end of winter, and when Xue Hua's name reached the ears of all the high-level officials in the war zone, they were surprised to find that the "rookie necromancer who had just reached level 60" in this information seemed to be unable to move now?
Especially after the swarm under Xue Hua launched the "Cleaner Plan", the commanders of all war zones even received a direct order from the Demon Fortress Council, ordering the commanders of all war zones to fully cooperate with the swarm and be sure to meet all of Xue Hua's needs.
This time, Virgy and Seria were really stunned.
If the two of them continue to oppose Xue Hua now, it will be tantamount to directly opposing the Council of the Demon Fortress, this kind of behavior is simply thinking that their lives are too long and want to die, even if the entire Howorth Islands are behind them, they can't withstand the direct pressure from the Council.
What's more, the three major tribes in the Howorth Islands would never give them a platform for such a thing.
At least the two tribes of String Song and Sea Spear will definitely ignore them.
Since it really can't be done, then just forget it, after all, the two of them and Xue Hua don't have direct hatred, if the task assigned by the teacher can be completed, then it will be easy, if it can't be done, they will definitely not be difficult for themselves.
It's a big deal to go back to the tribe and explain it to the teacher when the time comes, and I believe that the teacher will not blame her two legendary-level disciples for this.
If this is the end of the matter, then there will be no subsequent series of situations.
However, it is a pity that people are always in a difficult situation.
The two women had just suppressed the evil fire because of Xue Hua's great strength, and they were hooked out after seeing the insect swarm unscrupulously making a lot of achievements in the demon army.
You know, in the second world, there are many rewards that can be exchanged for feats.
Not only can it be exchanged for equipment items, but it can also be exchanged for various promises from the Council - of course, those promises often require astronomical merit points, and even the legendary powerhouses will have to accumulate for hundreds of years at least.
Virgi and Seria were born into the power melting pot of the Chanting Clan, and from an early age, they were taught by their teachers to "win or lose".
The two of them have long developed the habit of chasing power, which is why they established the "Rainforest Spears" legion.
However, the position of Legion Commander alone is not enough to satisfy the growing appetite of the two, and they hope to unite the entire Amazon tribe and sit on the throne of the queen when they return.
To accomplish this, they need a great deal of force, and the Rainforest Spears are just that help.
But the council would never let them bring an entire legion back to the First World to help them establish a unified Amazonian tribal regime, so they would need a great deal of merit in exchange for the promise from the council.
Make the Spear of the Rainforest a promise for their private army.
But they also know that in order to obtain such a promise, the merit value required can no longer be described as "astronomical".
With such a huge amount of merit points, they can save enough money by themselves to save up slowly, and I am afraid that they will not be able to save enough money until the end of their lives.
And in addition to merit points, they must also make an indelible contribution to the human front in the Second World—similar to Kane's contribution to the discovery of the Lighthouse Crystal—in order for the Council to seriously consider their request.
Therefore, they set their minds on the Purgatory Fortress that was close in front of them.
