Chapter 89: The Demon King's Trace

Sui Yu did not lead the war queens to escape, but came to the temporary military camp built by the wall of a large building next to it, because according to Philomena's speculation, Barron should not have asked for a crime but something to ask him for help when he saw him this time.

According to Philomena's discovery with the help of Wendy's hydroscope, in the middle of the Grey River's channel near the location of Ilna Harbor, a small tornado has formed at this time, which is constantly rolling the water of the Grey River into the sky and then turning into rain and sprinkling the entire Ilna Harbor.

Because the rain had been pouring all the time, and the rain curtain obscured the view, resulting in very low visibility, Sui Yu didn't notice that a tornado had formed on the river even though he flew around the city of Port Erna eight times.

And at this time, Sui Yu understood why the rain had begun to get smaller halfway, but it began to fall heavier and heavier later-the emotional people and fishmen directly mobilized the river water for artificial rainfall, and it would be strange if this rain could be smaller!

So Philomena boldly guessed, I'm afraid Barron's purpose for looking for Sui Yu should be related to that small tornado!

Sure enough, when Hakya and Millie landed in front of the barracks with Sui Yu, Barron actually walked out to greet Sui Yu in person, accompanied by the leaders of the three mercenary regiments.

Nothing to do, be diligent, either treacherous or thief!

Sui Yu understood as soon as he saw this posture, it seemed that Philomena had guessed correctly, Barron definitely wanted to ask him to do something (if he wanted to trouble Sui Yu, Barron would definitely not risk himself but directly surround him with the army)! And I'm afraid it really has something to do with the tornado - the temporary camp can barely see the slender tornado on the river!

"Mr. Yu, are you here?! Great, come in and sit, it's raining ...... outside."

Speaking of the back, Barron stopped talking a little awkwardly, because at this time, Sui Yu was shrouded in a magical shield close to his body. At this time, the rain could not contaminate Sui Yu's body at all - Qinggang Zhan Kai was very frustrated by Ress who added a lot of functions, including a waterproof magic shield specially designed to replace the umbrella (no defense, only able to block the rain and need to draw a certain amount of magic from the equipment as power).

"yes, let's go in and talk about it. My shield consumes a lot of mana, so don't waste too much mana! Sui Yu eased Barron's embarrassment with a word, of course, he didn't mean to. Because Sui Yu is just telling the truth.

Qinggang Zhankai's ability is extraordinary, but it needs to absorb magic from the equipment to maintain the operation of the magic array. This level of mana consumption may not be a big cost for the battle queens (the mana bar of the war queens who have grown up with full spirit is not only super long, but also has a very high mana recovery rate), but for Sui Yu, a half-hanger who has been transferred from a swordsman to a necromancer at level 40, the mana consumed by maintaining the shield is a bit unbearable for him.

After a few pleasantries, everyone entered the previous military tent and sat down around a large table, and as soon as they sat down, Barron very straightforwardly asked for Sui Yu's help.

"Presumably Mr. Yu has already seen that after the formation of that water column, the torrential rain in Erna Harbor continued, and at the same time, the offensive of the Fish-Man Force continued! Although the warriors have built fortifications to keep the fish-man forces near the harbor through battle formations, and I have arranged for the warriors to take turns in advance. But the situation is not optimistic! ”

Barron said this with a serious face, and at the same time he spread out a large map on the table and introduced to Sui Yu emphatically: "The combat power of the fish-people after they came ashore is not very strong, even if they send the most elite warriors and mages, their combat power is at most equivalent to the second-line troops of the Taraya Kingdom. However, as a commercial city, the city guards stationed here are not regular troops, although they are currently relying on the military formation to barely block the fish-man troops whose combat strength has been greatly reduced after going ashore, but if the time drags on, I am afraid that the port of Erna will be dangerous! ”

"So what did you call me for?" When Sui Yu said this. The two battle concubines stood behind him one on the left and one on the right, and they didn't know if they thought it was the black boss negotiating......

Of course. Those who know will also think that this is the black boss negotiating......

And it's also the kind of very awesome black boss - one knows space magic and the other wind magic plays like instinctive subordinates, and these two people also look loyal and hard-working, absolutely envious of all the existence of leaders!

Without concealing his envy, Barron glanced at Hakoya and said to Sui Yu: "I calculated, I'm afraid the city guards will be able to hold out until tomorrow at most, it should be noon or afternoon during the day, I am afraid that the merfolk will break through the defense line because the magic power of the magicians in the army is completely exhausted, and it will take at least two to three days for the nearest reinforcements to come back!" Other words. When reinforcements arrive, they can almost be given to us...... No, it's for me! ”

Speaking of this, Barron laughed to himself and added, "With your abilities, it should be easy to leave here after the city is broken, but I will be loyal to the Kingdom of Talaya until the last moment!" ”

Listen to Barron. Sui Yu said to Barron in disbelief, "Isn't it? You are also a gold-level master, who can stop you if you want to leave? ”

Yes, Barron is a gold-level professional, this is the judgment made by Hakya by comparing the fluctuations of his mental power, and the credibility rate is definitely ninety-nine percent!

"Your Excellency's team is indeed full of talents! I didn't expect to be able to accurately determine my rank! Barron looked at Hakoya as if he was aware of it and said to Sui Yu: "But I'm just a prophecy magician with low combat effectiveness, and my combat ability may not be able to catch up with an ordinary warrior!" ”

"What's more......" Barron got up and stood at the door of the tent, looking at the temporarily organized defense line in the rainstorm, and said firmly to Sui Yu and the others: "My soldiers are still fighting to the death on the front line, as their generals, how can I retreat and flee for my life?!" ”

Sui Yu immediately looked in awe of Barron, the general, and then suddenly remembered something and said to Barron: "You are a prophecy mage?" Then hurry up and do a hexagram and see when the fish-man will retire! ”

"What is a fortune teller?" Barron looked confused, then returned to his place and said to everyone with a serious face: "Although I practice prophecy magic, this kind of magic is not really predictable of the future!" This kind of magic is actually to put it bluntly, but it is just a fact that has been deduced from a certain period of time based on the available information! ”

"Well, then...... What a shame! Sui Yu almost accidentally said "Then I'll be relieved". Before, he thought that prophecy spells could go back in time and see through the future!

In that case, Barron's purpose of looking for him Sui Yu may not be so simple - Sui Yu still has a murder case on him, and the soul of the fat boss who can legally eat people may have just arrived on the edge of the River Styx.

But as soon as he heard Barron's explanation, Sui Yu knew that the so-called prophecy spell was actually nothing more than deducing what might happen in the future according to the objective laws of the development of things.

Presumably, the inference that the city guard would hold out until mid-to-mid tomorrow at most was also calculated by Barron using prophecy.

However, at this time, Barron added another sentence that made Sui Yu's heart involuntarily raised: "It is said that it seems that a prophecy mage of the Legendary or Holy Rank can directly connect with the long river of fate and peek into the past and the future at the cost of his own vitality!" ”

Looks. If there is a legendary-level prophecy mage who makes a move, it seems that going back to a crime scene or something is really like playing!

However, Sui Yu was soon relieved, because according to what he had seen and heard along the way, it seemed that in the Talaya Kingdom, the number of gold-level professionals was not very large, and as for the legendary level, it seemed that there was only one legendary powerhouse in the royal capital who lived in seclusion on weekdays, and he would only make a move when there was a crisis of annihilation in the Talaya Kingdom, and the information of other legendary-level powerhouses was not at all what Sui Yu was currently at this level that could be heard.

Presumably, the Legendary-level prophecy mage really exists even in the Talaya Kingdom. I shouldn't go to the overkill to investigate an ordinary murder case!

No longer have to worry about the exposure of killing a certain cannibal shop owner, Sui Yu's mood has become extremely relaxed (although the battle is still in full swing, and it seems that this fish-man war also has a lot to do with Sui Yu, but if there is really a crisis, Sui Yu should still slip away, so Sui Yu's mentality at this time is very relaxed, and it is a big deal to give up the mercenary points and rewards promised by Barron and run away with the war queens).

Although Barron was a little strange why Sui Yu suddenly seemed to be very relaxed, he didn't have time to guess Sui Yu's state of mind, but said to Sui Yu with a sincere face: "I invite you to come over this time." I just want you to do me a favor! ”

"Help? What's busy? Sui Yu was a little strange and couldn't figure out what Barron wanted him to do, it seemed that he was in a big battle of this magnitude. The mercenary's personal prowess has been reduced to a very small size.

"If the fishmen want to continue their attack, they must maintain this rainstorm! This is their biggest weakness, and that tornado, according to the judgment of my mages, should be the fish-man mages who jointly cast the altar spell, as long as they can interrupt the altar spell cast by the fish-man mage, then the rainstorm will definitely stop, forcing those fish-men to retreat! As for the fish-man casting the altar spell again, there is no need to worry at all. Altar spells have extremely strict requirements for the environment, once that altar spell is destroyed, the magic turbulence generated by the failure of the spell will definitely interfere with the next altar spell, even if the fish-man prepares the altar spell again, the reinforcements I asked will arrive! By then, Port Erna will be safe! ”

In the end, Barron couldn't help but smile bitterly and sighed: "Thank you to the Duchy of Felicis for declaring war on our country. As a result, all the legions are in a state of readiness, otherwise the army will be much slower than this! ”

Sui Yu was not calm at this time, listening to Barron's words, it seemed that he was asking him to help kill that altar!

So Sui Yu frowned slightly and asked Barron, "Then do you mean to let me rush over and kill that altar against an unknown number of fish-man attacks?" ”

"Of course not!" Barron said to Sui Yu with some anticipation, "I want to ask you for a favor, but in fact, I just want your space mages in your team to help send us a ride with space teleportation when we raid the Fishman Altar!" ”

Only then did Sui Yu understand their plan: "You originally wanted Hakya to use the space gate to help you transport troops?" But if you go behind enemy lines like this, the danger is probably no different from suicide! So who is tasked with destroying the altar? ”

As soon as Sui Yu's voice fell, a somewhat honest voice sounded: "Of course it's a few of us!" Er Harbor raised us, how could we all do nothing while El Harbor was destroyed? ”

As soon as Xiao Tai finished speaking, the sword style added coolly: "Actually, we also received a deposit from General Barron before deciding to take the risk!" ”

Blast turned to Hakoya and said, "Miss Hakoa, you don't have to worry about being burdened by teleporting too many people at once. Because of the particularity of mercenaries, there are not many people who are willing to accompany us to play with our lives. ”

Sui Yu couldn't help but be in awe of the three mercenary group leaders at this time. However, for accompanying them to play with their lives, Sui Yu is grateful for not being sensitive......

Random Mission: Fishman Crisis!

Description: Infected by the spirit of the warriors who want to protect the city at all costs, you feel your blood boiling! So you make a difficult decision after thinking twice......

Objective: To save as many humans as possible from the war, and destroy the Fish-Man Altar to force back the Fish-Man's attack.

Rewards: Rewards are calculated based on the number of surviving humans!

Okay, the previous task of helping to defend the city has not been completed, and there is another task to break the altar of the fishman. If you complete both tasks together, you will be rewarded......

"I decided! I also participated in the plan to attack the altar this time! As soon as Sui Yu's voice fell, everyone present immediately showed an extremely surprised look.

Being looked at by everyone with a look of mental illness was uncomfortable, Sui Yu said to everyone with some embarrassment: "If I say that I was moved by you and decided to fight hard, do you believe it or not?" ”

Shake your head neatly......

Good guy, everyone, even Sui Yu himself, didn't believe that he would be desperate because he was moved, and the system task even said that Sui Yu was boiling with blood, this is really bragging!

Sighing, Sui Yu shrugged helplessly and said to everyone: "Okay, let me be honest, in fact, what I want is very simple. That is, if I can help everyone through this crisis, then General Barron, you will not only have to pay more, but also work hard to help our Celestial Spirit Mercenary Group with publicity! Let more people know about the existence of our mercenary group, so that I can receive good business more easily! I don't think my request is excessive, and it should be within your purview, General, right? ”

"Propaganda?" Barron was a little stunned, the transmission of information in this world is not very developed, although there are some newspapers sold by the people, but because the literacy rate of humans in this world is not high. Coupled with the fact that newspapers are very expensive compared to civilians, the world does not pay much attention to the power of propaganda.

So Sui Yu Balabala told Barron about the importance of information. Barron was asked to help him promote the Celestial Mercenary Group by copying illustrated leaflets and posting them in chambers of commerce, hotels, and mercenary unions.

Although they didn't know how much value these conditions proposed by Sui Yu would bring to this mercenary group of only ten people, Barron and the others, who understood Sui Yu's unprofitable nature, finally recognized Sui Yu's reason for joining the battle.

This made Sui Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, these days, is it easy to take on a random task?!

Seeing that the random task entered his task list, Sui Yu immediately began to discuss the specific details of this mission with Barron.

However, after a night of discussion, in fact, there was no particularly brilliant proposal discussed.

The overall plan is simple. There are three main steps, the first step is for Hakya to open the space door, the second step is for Sui Yu and them to rush in and cut the girl, and the third step is to fight a bloody way back to the formation against the attack of the fishmen.

In short, it's nine deaths!

Not to mention that Hakoya said that she might not be able to successfully locate the landing point of the space gate inside the tornado, but it is also a question mark whether this group of people can destroy the spell against the fish-man mage inside after rushing into the altar spell release site.

As for the end of the mission, you have to rush back to the main camp against the fish-man warriors and mages who have already occupied the harbor...... No one talked much about this detail. It is estimated that the three regiment commanders involved in the offensive plan are ready to die on the battlefield!

However, Sui Yu did not raise any objections to such an unobtrusive plan, but promised everyone that he would come over to meet everyone early the next morning and left the tent.

Yes, since Barron had predicted that the city guard would not have much time to hold out, the next morning was basically the deadline. As for why not choose a night raid? With the black lights and the tornado interference, it is impossible for Hakoya to locate it, and it is impossible for the people involved in the battle to see the surrounding environment clearly.

And Sui Yu also had to take advantage of the night to make some preparations......

The next day, just after dawn, Barron was woken up by a hurried shout, listening to the shouts outside, "Demon! "The devil is coming!" Saying something like that, Barron, who was sleeping in clothes, hurriedly rushed out of the tent to look in the direction of the battlefield, and sure enough, he found that on the side of the battlefield where humans and fishmen were fighting, a man covered in black robes was slowly falling to the ground with the blue magic light of the wind attribute shining all over his body.

Heavy rain because the blue shield on the man's body could not get close to the man's surroundings at all, so the man's long black hair was flying extremely evil under the wind, and at the same time, the man was wearing a mask with the shape of a skeleton, from the open mouth on the face of the skeleton as a mask, it could be seen that the man had been sneering with a trace of disdain, and at the same time, the black pupils of his eyes were also full of playful gaze, as if he completely looked down on the countless fishmen in front of him.

However, the man's attitude towards the battle in front of him Barron didn't care, and like the other fighters, Barron immediately noticed the man's key trait - black hair and black eyes!

It's a demon!

Especially at this time, there is still a large amount of gray-black demonic energy around the man, which further confirms the man's demonic identity!

At this time, Barron's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of irrepressible despair, could it be that the crisis of the fish-man has not been resolved, and the demon has come to intervene again?!

Especially when he thought of the information that the demon who seemed to have been made the demon king appeared in Bryce Town a few months ago, Barron suddenly had a bad premonition: "This guy can't be the demon king, right?!" (To be continued.) )
