Chapter 116: Human Psychology
"Damn it!"
Locke, who was standing at the head of the city, felt the visual camera start to shake - the gargoyle's abdomen was pierced, because it was not a combat unit, and there were no props on his body that could restore his life.
"Retreat!"
With Locke's order, the gargoyle hurriedly returned the same way, but at this time, in the middle carriage of the escort, an old man in a white robe stood up, and he sneered at the gargoyle in the sky in front of him who was stumbling and flying back desperately.
"Want to go? It's not that easy! The old man stretched out his hand contemptuously, and a huge searchlight-like light shot straight through, instantly enveloping the gargoyle, and then magnetic white smoke began to rise from its body......
At this moment, to the old man's surprise, the gargoyle, which had been stumbling and flying before, suddenly dived down at high speed at this moment, quickly avoiding his radiant rays.
"Dying?" The old man frowned and looked at the gargoyle in front of him, the trajectory of the thing was a little subversive - it first dived down for a while, and then immediately straightened its body and began to fly at extreme speed against the ground.
How smart is this low-level demon?
No, it looked more like some invisible force was manipulating its body.
"Interesting." The old man sneered again, and then his whole body burst out with dazzling light, and the whole person soared into the air, and finally suspended above the heads of the cavalry.
"So how about trying this? Little bugs! The old man's eyes changed from his previous contempt, and at this time, his expression was full of madnessβhe hadn't slain a demon for a long time! This time you must kill enough!
Locke controlled the gargoyle to fly halfway, probably because of its injuries, whether it was a corner or a dive, the gargoyle did it quite reluctantly.
"Huh?"
Locke looked up and saw that the old man was now glowing all over his body, and he began to slowly rise into the air, and finally, stretched out his hands and muttered something out loud.
"Rain of arrows." Locke saw the opponent's moves in an instant, and he had seen a lot of light-based spells, especially this kind of large-scale group injury type, which could take a considerable advantage in guild warfare!
I watched as two large circles of light appeared around the old man, and then, dense golden arrows appeared from them, shooting towards the gargoyle like a storm, and after rushing to a certain height, they drew a large arc and fell to the ground around the gargoyle like raindrops.
Locke controlled it to make several large-angle turns, but the gargoyle was not a flying unit that mainly focused on high-speed maneuvering after all, and with the wounds on its body, it was directly nailed to the ground by a large number of light arrows in a few clicks......
"......" Locke, who was standing at the head of the wall, opened his eyes and looked far ahead, his face expressionless, but then through the amplifier device of the auxiliary elves, he roared loudly: "Old man! You and your followers don't want to leave here today! β
"Hahaha~~ Even the demons dare to be so rampant!" After winning a victory, the white-robed bishop was quite excited, especially when he heard the roar of the demon king, which made him even more proud.
The castle in front of you that exudes a strong evil aura, you can't be wrong, it must be the Demon King City! I can't imagine that I've lived for more than half a year, and I'll let myself meet it today!
The white-robed bishop looked at the huge silhouette of Castlevania, his eyes flashed with a little light, and finally the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and directly ordered the surrounding cavalry to move forward, and he himself did not descend, and after sprinkling a wave of state below, he kept slowly advancing with the sky above the team.
"They're coming." With the prompt of the auxiliary elf, Locke, who was still roaring and threatening just now, had no fluctuation on his face at this time, and even wanted to laugh a little......
This made Rhaeia, who was standing next to her, a little stunned when she saw it.
"Got it."
Especially after Locke's understatement was uttered, she was even more puzzled: was he angry?
Locke seemed to see her question, smiled, and said: "This is called verbal inducement, from the perspective of human psychology, when people win a certain victory, then they will want to get more, especially after hearing the tone full of anger here, human confidence will be higher, so the actions they make will be more daring, such as this." "The paladins didn't even send a scout team, so they went straight to this side.
β...... Oh. Retia looked at him stunned and agreed, looking unintelligible.
"Hehe, it's okay if you don't understand, you'll understand later." Locke smiled and began to descend into his square, and Retitia turned her head to look at the paladins who were about to enter the castle a kilometer away, and quickly asked, "They are about to attack,...... Where are you going .....? β
Isn't it time to hold on to the city?
Locke, who came to the square, summoned the skeleton warhorse, turned over, and said, "Just take a good look at it." Nina, how long will it be before the floating mine shield disappears? β
"Two minutes."
"Very well, I'll leave it to you now, greet that fool with what I prepared earlier."
"Understood."
When Redia saw Locke riding a horse and wanted to leave, she was about to ask a question, but Locke turned to look at her and said with a smile: "I'll go get some ore fragments so that I can make you flight equipment." It's safe for you to stay here, they won't attack, don't worry. Drive! β
Looking at Locke's back in the distance towards the west of the city, Rhodia suddenly felt a little lonely.
Wang He ...... Won't it ...... No, it won't!
Rhedia patted her cheek, if it was an ordinary lord, he would definitely be running away at this time, but he was a demon lord, how could he make such a retarded move as a low-level lord? Abandon the city?
"No, it won't! The king will be back! Lydia finally gave herself confidence and turned to look out of the city, her eyes becoming quite determined.
In any case, it must be held out until he returns! Even if the last ......
Just as Rhedia swore in her heart, she immediately found that as soon as the group of paladers entered the outer perimeter of the castle, they were immediately affected by Pandora's negative emotions, and the whole team was immediately in chaos, and some people even ignored their horses, screaming loudly and running back.
β...... Didn't they increase the state of stability of the mind when they came? Rhaedia muttered in disbelief, suddenly remembering what Locke had said earlier, and was shocked.
Showing weakness through words in advance, so that they think that victory is in their hands, so they only add a status that can increase the damage of their attacks, and after being infected by a lot of negative emotions, it will immediately cause a serious blow to their hearts, so that they think that all this is a trap of demons, and finally stay outside the range of the castle to raise money.
"This is what the king calls the human psyche??" Rhodia looked at the paladins in front of her, who were slowly retreating and regrouping in a burst of ghost crying wolf howls, and read this technical term for the first time in her mouth, when something even more shocking happened to her.
