Chapter 107: Sneak Attacker
Although it was uncertain whether Bekaz would use this method of instigation to deal with the two reinforcements of the Federation and the Empire this time, Rococo still decided to sneak into the Federation's reinforcements first, so that if Bekaz really had any conspiracy, she would react as soon as possible.
Thinking about what she was going to do, Rococo didn't delay any longer, and went directly to her teammates who were leveling up near the Holy City during the time she entered the Sanctuary, and told them about the mission of delivering the message.
Chu Jiajia and the others naturally didn't think of how complicated the inside story was behind this series of tasks, anyway, recently, their group had been following Rococo to do tasks in various leveling and treasure hunting in the Holy City Realm, since Rococo proposed to do this task, they naturally would not have an opinion.
After bringing supplies in the Holy City, the group immediately left the city and set off in the direction of the borders of the Free Federation. Considering that Bekaz's encirclement of the Holy City is likely to have formed a certain momentum, Rococo did not choose to take the official road, but relied on the game data stored in the NPC system to choose a wild path from the Holy City to a major military fortress on the federal border.
The part of the trail outside of the Holy City does not pass through places of people such as villages or towns, except for two commercial inns, so Rococo and his party did not encounter the large number of plague spirits on the way as in the previous village of Gegli. In fact, there are many wild monsters and monsters in the mountains and forests that have mutated into undead monsters because of the epidemic virus that has spread from human villages and towns, but fortunately, Rococo has not encountered ruthless characters that they can't deal with with with their strength.
However, just as they had bypassed the second post station they encountered on the way, they had just walked out of the Federal Border Fortress, which could already see a little shadow in the distance of the plain, when they unexpectedly encountered a slightly familiar opponent.
"Huh? This isn't the Plague Undead Knight, and there are two of them. ”
As a scout of the team, the steel floor thorn who habitually walked at the front was the first to spot the enemy, and when he said this, the ice shooter and others who followed behind also cheered up.
Although because of the matter in Gegri Village, they led to the special plot mission of sending a letter for help from the priest, but in fact, the mission of sending a letter for help is not a follow-up to the task of saving the knight's soul but only a branch, so the task of saving the knight's soul that Rococo took over before was not canceled or judged to be completed, and the magic ring that can awaken the soul of the dead knight is still in Rococo's hand.
In fact, in the small garden before, Orlanardo gave Rococo a special item called "Papal Codex", this special item itself is a very powerful rare item, which can be placed in the backpack to provide Rococo with attribute bonuses, and it also comes with two very good skills, at the same time, with the Papal Codex in the backpack, Rococo can also freely enter and exit the Sanctuary from now on, so she doesn't need to do templar tasks to accumulate enough faith points to enter the inner sanctum of the Sanctuary at the moment. However, Rococo doesn't need it, but it doesn't mean that her friends don't need it, during this time, the Ice Archer and others who have tasted the sweetness of the excellent attributes of the Templar equipment exchanged for faith points are now a little more concerned about doing the Templar task than Rococo.
Rococo looked at the time, there was still more than an hour before the players went offline at night, and after killing the two plague knights in front of them and purifying them, they should still have plenty of time to get to the fortress.
"Let's do it, I'll go to the kite and pull one away, and you take the opportunity to kill the other."
The Plague Knight is just an elite monster, and it may be a bit more difficult for ordinary players to deal with, but for a master team like the Plant Squad, it is only a matter of how long it takes to kill one, and Rococo is not to mention, in fact, she can kill these two elite monsters by herself, but since there are ready-made helpers around her, you don't need it, you don't need it, right.
A few minutes later, the plague knight who was besieged by the plant team fell to the ground, and at this time, the plague knight who was kited by Rococo all the way only had less than half of his blood left, and the plant team and Chu Jiajia turned their heads to gather fire, and the remaining plague knight fell to the ground.
The luck of the group was not good, but the two elite-level monsters only let the steel thorn touch a few pieces of silver-quality equipment, and the plant team began to verbally denounce the black hand of the steel thorn in the team while repairing the state, and on the other hand, Rococo began to use the ring in his hand to "conjure" the two plague knights, listening to their respective soul confessions according to the established task process and then watching their souls dissipate.
I have to say,The posthumous confession of these knights' souls can sometimes be really verbose.,Obviously, before their deaths, they all looked like a group of rigid guys who couldn't say anything else except for fixed words such as "For the goddess" and "May the light of order illuminate your way forward", but after becoming a soul body, this group of people showed good eloquence one by one, and everyone's posthumous confession can almost be written as a short memoir article, but it's a pity that as the only audience, Rococo really didn't even have the slightest interest in their past.
Finally, when the two knights' souls finished talking, and each left this world with a satisfied expression, the plant team and Chu Jiajia saw Rococo come over with an expression of hearing something boring.
"Let's go, let's go to the fortress."
However, just when the group was just starting to prepare to leave, Rococo, who was standing at the front of the line and chatting with Chu Jiajia, suddenly changed his expression.
Be discerning!
The new skill that the Longbowman learns at level 30 instantly increases the longbowman's evasion ability while also having a range of stealth breaking effect, and it is because of this skill that after level 30, the Longbowman is considered to be the sworn enemy of the assassin class with stealth skills in the general sense.
Except for Rococo, who has a sensing ability that far exceeds that of ordinary players because of the attribute bonus, everyone else didn't understand why Rococo suddenly used this skill at this moment, but in the next second, under the influence of Rococo's discerning skill, a ghost-like black-clothed assassin suddenly appeared next to Sunflower at the back of the team, and everyone's faces changed.
That's right, everyone, not only the plant team but also Chu Jiajia, they were defenseless against the appearance of the black-clothed assassin, in fact, even the black-clothed assassin himself and the rococo who sensed him did not expect such a situation.
Rococo didn't expect the other party to get so close at all, almost as long as she was a little later, this person would be able to sneak attack, let alone kill the sunflower in one fell swoop and then retreat. You must know that with her perceptual attributes, even the chief assassins in the new and old guilds such as the Dark Domain or the Hall of Stars will probably be sensed by her not long after approaching her perception circle, but this person almost touched her side without letting her notice it at all.
On the other hand, the black-clothed assassin who was detected by Rococo was shocked because of the completely opposite reason to Rococo, because of the luxurious equipment on his body, his attributes can be described as terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people, so he would never have thought that in the current stage of the game, there would be players who could perceive him in a stealth state from such a distance.
However, a top master is a top master after all, and despite a moment of surprise in his heart, Rococo and the black-clad assassin quickly regained their composure before the others, and acted almost immediately before they were noticed.
The initial goal of the black-clothed assassin was to be the first to kill Sunflower, the only priest in their Rococo team, although he was exposed in advance before he took the initiative to attack, but after all, he had already completed the close-quarters, so the black-clothed assassin did not hesitate to launch a skill combo against Sunflower.
The so-called artist is bold, and he seems to be quite confident in his instant kill, and the black-clothed assassin didn't even spend time using control skills on Sunflower to directly get started with a series of output skills, and he did almost succeed, whether it was the connection of skills or the value of damage output was impeccable, Sunflower's original full blood volume bottomed out almost instantly, and at this time, the poor female priest hadn't even recovered from the shock and panic before, let alone added blood to herself.
But just when the black-clothed assassin was about to succeed, suddenly a light blue mist with a holy halo appeared out of thin air and shrouded Sunflower's body, and the amount of blood that was about to bottom out with the last blow of the assassin's skill combo was instantly increased.
The black-clothed assassin secretly screamed in his heart the moment he saw the mist that emitted an unusual brilliance, far beyond the experience of ordinary people, he recognized at a glance that this was definitely some kind of special hydrotherapy, and sure enough, after he hit the final blow that had perfectly calculated the damage, Sunflower's HP was not cleared as expected, but there was just a little red blood skin left.
That little bit of blood seemed to tempt the black-clothed assassin, as long as he made up for it, the female priest in front of him, who was still in a state of confusion, would fall to the ground and die, but the black-clothed assassin did not hesitate at all, and even after the last blow, he quickly withdrew his hand as if he was burned by something on the sunflower's body, and then rolled towards a clean and neat roll behind him.
In the next second, a large mass of water appeared out of thin air next to the assassin's previous location, but it did not take on a human form like an ordinary summoned water elemental, but extended towards the original position of the black-clothed assassin like a slime, and it was obvious that Rococo had not even waited for this guy to take shape, and gave it instructions to use the adhesive skill.
The black-clad assassin's astuteness allowed him to avoid the water elemental's entanglement, but the moment he got up after rolling, Rococo's second-stage killing move had already followed.
Rococo had already calculated his position, and the moment the black-clad assassin rolled up, he came to his forehead - a concussive arrow that could not be avoided.
