Chapter Seventy-Three: The Trap of Failure
I slowly calmed down and asked loudly, "I didn't offend you, did I?" Belch...... Maybe a little bit, but it's not going to kill me, is it? ”
Keep an eye on Ayton's progress, just one more step......
“…… Do you need a reason to kill you? Don't you want to get rid of me too? Ayton smiled weirdly, took a step forward, and landed steadily, but suddenly his feet slipped and stumbled.
Now is the time!
The figure flashed, and the sword came out!
Neck blood splatters!
Isn't ...... Outrageous! I watched in amazement at what was happening in front of me for a split second.
One of the four dark elves slowly approaching Ayton had already fallen, and the traps thrown by the other three in the panic were stretched into a large net, but because of Ayton's agile movements, the net was empty.
"Surprised? Fools! Ayton grinned, and as the trappers scrambled to retract their nets, the rapier stabbed again, causing the other catcher to fall.
How so?
I didn't really rush into this room. When I instigated him to attack the official residence of the Round Spider Family, I contacted Yichen and the bounty hunter who came to the courtyard of the Dark Flame Family on a mission with the mercenary group, and designed this trap against Ayton.
When selecting the team to attack the Round Spider Family, 20 mercenaries, including Yichen and the Bounty Hunter, took advantage of the fact that the soldiers of the Dark Flame Family and the Defectors did not know each other and under my cover, and infiltrated the team of the Defectors under my command.
So, in this large and empty storage room, in addition to Ayton and me, there are 20 invisible mercenaries ambushing it. In addition to these 4 warriors who have learned to excel in xenoweapons (nets) are holding nets, there are also 4 warriors holding spears behind them as support, 4 thieves with daggers waiting for the opportunity to backstab, and bounty hunters and 3 other warriors holding shields and swords, protecting the 4 mages in the four corners of the room with Lian Yichen.
The original plan was that I would shout loudly to cover up the mage's whispering of the spell when he cast the spell, and cast a "greasy spell" on the ground in front of Ayton, and when he stepped on one foot and his pace was unsteady or even slipped, the netcatcher would cast the net, as long as one of the nets could catch Ayton, he would be able to contain him, and if he was caught by more than two nets, he would basically be unable to move, and the spearman could slowly stab him outside of his counterattack range. Even if he can break through the net, the hidden thieves will be the first to hit him with their special "sneak attack". Coupled with the mage's support with various spells at any time, this plan is almost perfect, and the 4 shield-wielding sword-wielding warriors are not in the plan, but because Yichen strongly requires the mage to have a meat shield in front of him (in reality, he always hides behind his companions when fighting, throws stones from a safe distance, and the "safety first" motto seems to have been brought into the game when the situation is not good), and the bounty hunter also wants to participate, so he joined.
However, people are not as good as heaven, Ayton stepped on the oily and slippery ground in the range of "greasy technique", but he didn't slip, his staggering action, now it seems that it is just a lure to the enemy, when everyone saw him stumble, from the nervous mood relaxed, stealth state of stealth holding their breath sneaking approaching the 4 netters, was about to throw the net in his hand The moment he launched an attack.
"Leave the nets alone, the netcatchers stand down! Others stepped forward to deal with him! The bounty hunter ordered loudly.
The netcatchers gave up their nets and hurried away, and the nearest spearmen stepped forward and poked their spears together.
However, the spearman's first encirclement attack from stealth failed again, and Ayton easily dodged three of the spears regardless of the retreating netcatcher, and with a single stretch of his sword, he lightly pulled the fourth spear that had been pierced, leaving the spearman wide open and forward. The spearman looked terrified, and was slashed in the throat by the dagger in Ayton's left hand.
The sword stabbed out with a backhand, and a thief who was still stealth and was sneaking behind Ayton fell on his back, blood gushing out of his left chest, staining his gray leather armor red.
Wrong! He...... He can see it!
There's no reason, is he as capable of seeing through illusions as I am? But looking at Ayton's combat style, it is obvious that he will not be a mage, and I don't believe that there is a second person other than me who has a full initial intelligence attribute to choose a hand-to-hand combat class. Could it be that he has a prop with a similar effect?
"Be careful, he can see through invisibility!" Although I don't know why Ayton was able to see through the invisibility, I still warned loudly at the first time, lest those who were still invisible be careless.
"It's hard work!" The heroic cry of the bounty hunter. The source of his self-confidence may be the sheer numerical superiority that he has maintained to this day. The four sword and shield warriors rushed forward and attacked with the remaining three spearmen and three thieves, and even the two trappers who had abandoned their nets drew their short swords from their waists and threw themselves into the battle circle again. In the corner, the mages also attacked, and the ranged monomers smashed at Ayton.
Ayton should be an agile melee master, although high agility often has a great advantage when fighting alone, but he is most afraid of being surrounded, and once he is surrounded, the advantage of high agility is gone. The Bounty Hunter's brutality may succeed! I speculated in my heart, but I didn't stand still and didn't join the fight. I always felt that things would not be that simple.
The mage's spell attack hit the target, and they wisely chose the magic missile, although it is only a level of arcane art, and the power is not great, but as long as the target can be seen, it will inevitably hit, and it is used in the hands of a level 5 mage, and three magic missiles are released at one cast, but they all fall on Ayton's body like a stone in the sea, and disappear silently.
The spell resistance of the dark elves increases with the level.
"Damn, sneak attacks can't be used...... Ah~~~"
"Sneak Attack" is actually a unique attack of the Rogue class, also known as "Backstab" by players, which can add extra damage and can only be used under certain circumstances. In addition to striking before the opponent notices, it can be used when the opponent is caught off guard, and it can also be used when you are behind the target while you and your companions are flanking the target.
In the siege of everyone, it should be easy to flank the situation, and the thief should also be more familiar with the conditions for the use of "sneak attack" than me, but he is shouting that sneak attack can't be used? And he was immediately stabbed by Ayton's backhand!
Don't......
Seeing that Ayton was surrounded by a heavy siege, he swayed freely, constantly swimming, and the sword and dagger would surely see blood, but the blades in the hands of the people who surrounded him could hardly touch him.
Damn, his movements are so smooth, not affected by the siege at all! What kind of ability is it?
After the loss of a spearman, a thief, and all the netcatchers, everyone came to their senses from their initial bravery, and despite being players, they were still fairly well trained. The rest spontaneously divided into two groups, two sword and shield warriors with a spearman and a thief.
Ayton suddenly made a false move, jumped a few steps back to get rid of the crowd, and muttered something in a low voice. Everyone didn't know what he was doing, but they just cooperated and slowly approached.
I have a bad premonition!
