Act 21: It's Called Righteous Backstabbing (5/5)
Act 21 is called the backstab of justice
Currently, the Paladin is in the effect of the invisibility technique, so as long as he opens his mouth, the invisibility technique will be invalid. Of course, Su Chen, the spellcaster, could still vaguely see the figure of Augres, but those trolls couldn't find Su Chen and Ogris at all, they looked around suspiciously, as if they were still wondering why the 'food' that was still fighting them just now suddenly disappeared.
Su Chen swaggered and picked up a piece of the dead troll's flesh from the ground that had not yet been completely scorched by the flames and put it in his backpack, and while he was doing all this, all the trolls were wandering around as if they hadn't seen Su Chen's movements.
Ogris was a little angry - these evils in front of him have not been eliminated, so he wants to run away like this? In front of the dark? Then he suddenly found that Su Chen made a gesture to him to stop talking, and then Su Chen said: "I found that we still have hope of winning, don't talk yet, walk behind this troll and prepare to give him a blow." With that, Su Chen walked over to the several corpses that were stuck in the cobwebs, careful not to let himself be stuck by the remnants of the cobwebs that had gradually disappeared, and then took out a small round ball from the corpse of a robber.
This small round ball had just leaked out of the robber's backpack, and it seemed that this guy wanted to take out this small round ball at the last moment and die with Su Chen and the others, but unfortunately he was killed by Oglish before he could do so. Although Ogris didn't know what this small ball was, when he looked at Su Chen's guarded appearance, he naturally knew that it was not a simple thing, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a glimmer of light.
Su Chen's rumors told him what it was—it was a burst firebomb, a weapon that anyone could wield invented by the Arcane Empire—it had been used in battles between the Arcane Empire and the Flanon Empire, and in the information that the rumors told him, it didn't seem to be any different from a grenade. Su Chen was really taken aback when he saw this robber take this out before, after all, this kind of strategic material is undoubtedly in the hands of the military, and this robber can get this thing, I'm afraid the background is not small.
Of course, that's not what he needs to think about right now.
He estimated where the trolls were standing, and found that they were all relatively close, but one was a little farther away, so he sent Ogris behind the remote troll, and suddenly yelled, "Down!" Then he threw a burst of fire. Ogilis subconsciously stabbed out his heavy sword, and the long sword coated with blazing glue directly brought huge damage to the troll in front of him, and the next moment, the bursting fire bomb exploded around him.
The great light of fire first shone in his eyes, and then the scorching wave of air knocked him to the ground. At the same time, the troll who had been fatally wounded by him was also pressed on top of him, which was honestly uncomfortable. And when Ogris finally had the strength to push away the corpse of the troll in front of him, he found that the place where the troll's combat power had just turned into a pitch-black scorched earth, and Su Chen retained the posture of throwing explosive fireballs, as if he was frightened by the power of this blow.
"I just ...... Is it a sneak attack? ”
Ogris said a little dumbfounded, stealthily lurking behind the enemy to give the opponent a fatal blow, which looked like a sneak attack no matter how you look at it. And Su Chen also came back to his senses at this time, he coughed, and then said seriously:
"It's called a righteous backstab."
……
Fortunately, Ogilis didn't bother too much about the difference between a sneak attack and a righteous backstab, and if it weren't for Su Chen this time, they would have been fleeing in embarrassment by now. However, this time he and Su Chen found more explosive firebombs, and it seemed that if Su Chen and Ogilis hadn't attacked too quickly, they would all have been killed by this firebomb.
"Who would be so cruel?" Ogris frowned and said, "If the robbery fails, do you want to use fire bombs to destroy the corpses?" ”
"I suspect these guys have other agendas." Su Chen had a different idea, no matter how he robbed it, he still couldn't use such a big killing weapon, and even used it to kill trolls was overkill. Anyone who can get this kind of magic item that is even sharper than the mage's fireball technique will definitely not be able to get a weapon against trolls.
To be honest, this kind of prop that will kill everyone if you are not careful is really not suitable for fighting trolls. If it weren't for the fact that those trolls happened to be standing relatively close just now, and they couldn't see Su Chen, otherwise Su Chen would not have been able to complete this heroic move.
Even so, he almost killed Ogilis.
But in any case, these guys are dead too, and it's a little too late to ask what their purpose is. Su Chen and Ogilis could only reluctantly bury the bodies of these guys - it's not good to put them in the wilderness, right? Then Su Chen and Ogilis rushed to the city.
Su Chen was in a hurry to hand in the task, while Ogris planned to go back and repair it, and then change to a flame sword to fight these evil forces for another three hundred rounds. This short shared adventure seemed to be coming to an end at this time, and of course, Su Chen didn't have much reluctance - he was destined to meet many people and separate many people during the journey. And to be honest, there's nothing to be sad about separating from an NPC. So at the gate of the city he waved generously to Ogilis, and walked into the city.
Ogris stood there for a long time before laughing: "What a free and easy guy." So he went to the temple in the city.
When Su Chen came to the city hall, he found that it was still as lively as it was - the lights made of magic illuminated the dark space around them, and under the magic lights, there were still many guys dressed as mercenaries who were still here to hand in tasks or take tasks. After looking at it for a while, Su Chen realized that this was the reward that the city lord had changed again-
The number of trolls in the wild is increasing, so the city lord's reward for destroying trolls has increased a bit. Killing a troll now earns you two gold coins, and if the number is large enough, you can even get a 'merit' from the city lord.
And feats can be exchanged for more goodies.
When Su Chen saw this scene, he even had an urge to go back and brush up on a group of trolls, but he also knew that trolls were not such easy to deal with, and many of them looked quite embarrassed when they looked at these mercenaries in front of him, and there would definitely be more who died in the wild.
But under the temptation of money, death, then what is it?
