Chapter 228: News Leaked
The leader of the Undead Scout Team is not a monster but a player, and none other than him, he is the Undead Knight Dark Cuisine.
I actually received two missions about the Black Blood Castle, and both became direct opponents of Dark Cuisine, which made me wonder if we had been enemies since the last life.
The undead scout's mind is controlled by the system's main brain, and it has formed a fixed formula, so it is unlikely to find the mines we have planted on the ground, but the player is different, as long as you look at the ground, those mines that are not very well camouflaged can be easily seen.
"Lao Zhang, kill him." I ordered it on the spot.
"However, this is tantamount to directly suing those undead that there is an ambush here." Pi Candy Zhang said.
"I can't do that much anymore, and I can't let this kid know that we've planted mines on the road anyway." I continued.
In fact, from the moment when the dark cuisine was killed by me and lost important information, he should have thought that someone would definitely set up an ambush halfway to stop the undead troops who were preparing to reinforce the Black Blood Castle, and personally led the team over just to find evidence, because those undead bosses would not believe his empty words, and he must come and go in person and find sufficient evidence before he could believe it.
So he personally came over with a small squad of scouts of the undead. The moment I saw Dark Cuisine appear, I knew that whether Dark Cuisine died or not, the news of our ambush here had been leaked. However, we still have to kill the dark cuisine.
"Good!"
Pidge Zhang agreed, and led a team of elite thieves to quickly enter the stealth state and sneak towards the dark cuisine. And in order to prevent being discovered by the other party, Pi Tangzhang deliberately distanced more than ten meters from other thieves.
This distance should be enough to make up for the gap in stealth ability between the thieves and Candy Zhang, and ensure quick support after Candy Zhang's sudden attack.
The next moment, when Pidtang Zhang approached, the dark cuisine seemed to have a sense, and he stopped and scanned his eyes back and forth.
But he didn't see any flaws, and Pidberg's stealth was almost flawless.
Eventually, Dark Cuisine withdrew his gaze and continued to carefully observe the grass and trees on the hillsides on both sides, hoping to find some clues.
With his superior stealth skills, Pi Tangzhang quietly walked behind the dark cuisine, and the blade of the dagger glowed with a poisonous light, and quietly poked out.
The moment Pi Candy Zhang suddenly erupted, the dark cuisine suddenly realized, and immediately rolled off the back of the bone spirit horse without hesitation.
However, his reaction was still half a beat slower after all, and before he could roll off the horse, before his body could land, a red light suddenly lit up behind him, and the quenched dagger had already pierced the back of his heart.
Dark Cuisine stiffened and fell to the ground like a dead dog, unable to move.
The undead scouts who came with him immediately let out a burst of screams, and they all brandished their weapons and rushed towards Pi Tangzhang.
Pi Tangzhang quickly sprinkled a handful of phosphors and entered a strong hidden state.
At the same time, the thieves he brought with him immediately took advantage of the opportunity of the other party's attention being attracted by Pi Candy Zhang, and immediately started to rush and kill them in a stealth state, and a series of backstabbing skills hit the bodies of those undead scouts one after another, and each undead scout was hit several times at the same time, and his qi and blood fell sharply.
As soon as it hit, the undead scouts had no time to fight back, and the thieves had quickly disappeared.
In the next moment, at least seven or eight thieves, including Pi Tangzhang, appeared next to Dark Cuisine almost at the same time, and after a series of skills, Dark Cuisine was tragically hung up again.
Took two missions from the undead camp in a row, but not only did the mission fail but was also hung up by competitors twice in a row, I really don't know what Dark Cuisine will think in his heart now, and whether he will regret accepting these two tasks a little.
Immediately after the Dark Cuisine hung up, the other undead scouts turned into headless flies, scurrying around, and were soon killed by Pidget Zhang's thief brothers.
With the scout team led by Dark Cuisine being taken out, I was immediately informed.
"Ding~!"
System Prompt: The matter of your ambush in Raven Ridge has been informed by the undead commander "Bloody Hand Ovia", and Bloody Hand Ovia has urgently doubled his forces in this direction, please be careful.
To my surprise, after learning of our actions, the other side did not immediately change the route and take another route or set off at another time or something, but directly sent twice as many troops.
I don't know where the confidence of the bloody hand Ovia comes from, he must protect the Black Blood Castle, and for our troops who dare to stop him halfway, he also intends to eat it in one bite.
At the same time, all the guild members received the same news, and Lin Xiaoran immediately squeezed to my side and asked in a low voice, "What should I do, the number of enemies has suddenly doubled." ”
I smiled and replied, "What to do, cold salad." ”
Lin Xiaoran was very dissatisfied with my answer, and immediately reprimanded: "You be serious, the entire guild will be dispatched together, if it fails and is completely wiped out by the army of the undead, this will be a very big blow to the overall strength of our guild, this is not a joke." ”
I could only be speechless about Lin Xiaoran's worries, so I pointed out unceremoniously, "I originally thought you were very smart, but I didn't expect you to be even more stupid than Bloody Ovia." ”
Lin Xiaoran was very dissatisfied with my evaluation, and immediately asked: "How do you say this, you explain it to me clearly." ”
"I don't know if you have carefully comprehended the content of the prompt message, but after learning that we had set up an ambush in Raven Ridge, Ovia immediately doubled his troops." I've simply repeated what the system prompts for.
"I know that, which means we're going to face twice as many enemies next." Lin Xiaoran replied as a matter of course.
"No, you don't understand it correctly." I immediately corrected, "We're going to have to face two waves of the same number of undead in a row. ”
"Isn't that what I mean?" Lin Xiaoran is getting more and more confused.
I scolded angrily: "The same as your head, let you and Pi Tangzhang and Yujian Xunxiang fight you one by one and beat you together with the two of them at the same time, can the meaning be the same?" ”
"The two of them together may not be able to beat me together." Lin Xiaoran muttered.
"Yes, do you want me to tell them what you just said?" I turned my head to look at Lin Xiaoran.
"What did I just say? I don't remember at all. "She started playing scoundrels.
The vast majority of the players in the guild have the same worries as Lin Xiaoran, and the opportunity for me and Lin Xiaoran to chat quietly here, everyone in the guild channel is also discussing this matter fiercely. More than half of the players advocated an immediate retreat, and any task was a floating cloud, and maintaining strength was the most important thing.
And there are also a considerable number of players who advocate that no matter how strong the enemy is, since we have already taken this task, we must mention that the NPCs of Lingyun City should stand on this shift, and even if the whole army is wiped out, we must try to consume the reinforcements of the undead, so as to increase the chances of winning the next operation to capture the Black Blood Castle.
Of course, there are also some players who advocate letting some of the enemies go first, and then suddenly attack and intercept their rear team, and when the enemy in front of us turns back to help, we will immediately retreat. In this way, it not only effectively dealt a blow to the enemy's strength, but also retained its own strength.
Everyone expressed their opinions, but they didn't find the key information hidden in the system message.
I sighed silently in my heart, it seems that the focus of everyone's consideration was completely attracted by the phrase "double the strength", and like Lin Xiaoran, I didn't notice such a detail at all: the first wave of the undead army had already set off when we received the news, but the second wave of support troops was urgently mobilized after learning that we were ambushed here, and the time difference between the two waves of undead reinforcements was at least four hours.
Therefore, even if two waves of enemies do not depart from the same place, it is unlikely that they will arrive at the same time unless they fulfill the agreement. And if they really decide to join forces and then march towards the Black Blood Castle together, it will inevitably take Lang more time, and by the time they get here, the battle on Gunde's side should have already been fought, can't we bring the latest news back to the Black Rider camp and ask Gunder to bring someone over to help?
Seeing that everyone was arguing in the guild channel without a result, I immediately told them about my analysis, and a group of people suddenly realized after listening to it.
"Damn, it turns out that the boss has already analyzed the matter so thoroughly, but he deliberately didn't say it, so we all bothered to discuss it here for so long."
I said, "I deliberately didn't say it just to see if anyone could think of going with me, but I didn't expect you to be so stupid." ”
"You're the boss, if we're as smart as you, how can we bring out your wisdom and martial arts?" The demon in the sword replied without skin and face.
I asked Pidget to make a personal trip and pick up a piece of equipment from the undead scout and bring it back to the Black Cavalry, so that when the battle on the other side was over, Gunder could bring someone to support us in time.
The next step is to wait.
What happened next quickly confirmed my suspicions, and within 20 minutes of Pidberg's walk, a large number of undead warriors had already begun to appear at the entrance of the canyon.
The fact that they came so quickly was enough to prove that the reinforcements of the two waves of undead certainly did not come at the same time.
Maybe it's not because Ovia doesn't know how to let the two armies converge before coming together, but because the previous wave of people came too quickly, and Ovia's order is estimated to have been delivered before they have time to arrive, and they have already thrown themselves into the net.
I pulled the Ice Dragon Halberd from my back and said loudly in the guild channel, "The enemy is coming, ready to fight!" ”
