425 Battle of Auraon-3
When the commotion caused by Aglaya and Busomis was eliminated by Sycamore's sudden reminder, the players who had just seen the amazing fire arrow attack could not find out which one was the big one, and could only return to their defense line under the shouts of the Enforcer Knight.
And Wutong saw that after several Enforcer Knights patrolled nearby for a while, they also left full of doubts, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, being discovered by the Enforcer Knights that their strength was super strong, it was a very troublesome thing, and they would be pulled to a more dangerous place to use as a battery.
Now the official mission of the "Battle of Auraon" has not yet been released, and the identity of the players is only a temporary conscription of the "militia", and the "decapitation medal" obtained is only in a data stage, and cannot be used to redeem rewards.
Therefore, at this time, it is very cost-effective to be pulled by this gang of law enforcer knights to be used as livestock, although it is also possible to accumulate "decapitation battle medals", and the consumable drug supplies are all spent by themselves, it is better to wait for the official task to come down, after receiving military supplies and supplies, it is more cost-effective to let go of the task, and the mage is money as soon as he makes a move, and he can save one is one.
Anyway, there are a large number of melee professionals in front of them, so you don't have to worry about being close to the monster, Wutong has a ride without a match, unhurriedly releasing 0-order group injury spells such as [Phantom Tribulus], [Acid Splash], although Busomis around him didn't use any other terrible archery skills, Danshi's arrows one after another, still shot out quickly, at a speed of almost one arrow, clearing the monsters that hit the defense line.
Although with the number of spells mastered by Sycamore and the daily spell bits, it can completely set off a storm of spells, Danshi Sycamore didn't do that, although it looks slow, but every 5 seconds, Sycamore has a range of as far as 185 feet, lasts 192 seconds, covers 80 square feet, and the speed is -50% within 32 minutes after stepping on it, [Bleeding: -32~/sec (until it is cured or healed naturally)], and the [Phantom Tribulus Terrestris] that erupts every three seconds can cover a piece of ground.
A few minutes later, all the monsters who charged from this defensive line where Wutong was located, began to collectively hit the street from more than sixty meters away, and the whole body erupted with four-digit negative damage one by one, and it was hard to get up after rolling on the ground for a long time, and as soon as he took a step, he hit the street again, and basically couldn't run in front of the defense line composed of melee professions, and he died.
A small number of high-level, high-blooded, high-defense monsters barely rushed to the front of the formation, and they were basically crippled, and the rangers who acted as archers didn't need to cut it down, so they were tied into hedgehogs, and as a result, the players in their defense line had nothing to do.
Not to mention the warriors who are waiting to cut down the [Decapitation Battle Medal], even the rangers in charge of the long-range are depressed, their military longbow has a range of only 120 feet, and most of the low-level monsters can't go within their range at all before hanging, don't you see the edge of the area covered by [Phantom Tribulus], a large number of low-level monsters burst out pieces of soul energy mist as soon as they step on it?
Finally, there are a few high-level, blood-thick monsters that can support them into their range, so why don't they get up and shoot? Even if you waste arrows, you can't take care of it, slow down, that terrible high-level elf marksman, kill all the monsters that slipped through the net, and can't grab a single head, so why are they staying here?
The rangers who were about to cry scolded one by two: "Big brother! Isn't it such a way to rob monsters? You eat meat, so you can leave us some soup to drink! You pour it, don't talk about the soup, you still have to take two bites of even some bone slag, isn't it irritating? ..., the warriors vomited blood even more, and could only watch as batch after batch of monsters rushed up, and then fell in front of them, but they couldn't reach it at all, how depressing do you think this should be?
But they didn't dare to complain to the perverted mage standing behind them, not to mention the three terrible elf girl followers, even if he was himself, it wasn't for them to mess with, didn't they see that everyone was still using a 0-order spell, and a 1-order spell was useless?
The monster who charged them to death just now, and when it came to people's hands, it didn't even count as a warm-up, provoking him? Looking for death?
"Can't be provoked, can't we hide?"
Perhaps thinking that Wutong alone was enough to defend this section of the defense line, the sad soldiers began to move towards the tight defense line on both sides, and said to the warrior brothers next to them with salivation: "Squeeze!" Squeeze! Brother go over there and squeeze it again!? ”
Immediately after that, even the archer group composed of forest rangers began to move to both sides, and slowly vacated the area where the plane was located again, and the vacant area was quite large, as if a triangle had been cut off on a large cake, which was very abrupt.
Because the fighters and shooters were slowly spreading out to "find their own way to survive", Wutong didn't notice it at first, but his way of fighting was to make up a few [Phantom Tribulus terrestris], just sit down [meditate] for two minutes, and then stand up to make up a few [Phantom Tribulus terrestris], so when he noticed that there were fewer and fewer players around him, there was almost no one next to Yijing!
Dumbfounded, he found that he was "isolated", and now he couldn't keep a low profile even if he wanted to, so he simply gave up, anyway, while [meditating], he made up for the [Phantom Tribulus terrestris], a 0-order low-consumption spell, and he didn't need to take super-quality potions.
In addition, the arrows used by Bussomes are military supplies, so he doesn't have to pay for it himself, otherwise, according to the price of the most ordinary military iron arrows, 10 pieces per gold coin, with Bussomes's rate of fire, it will be the same as the coins fired by submachine guns, and all the money is "Tututu"!
If there is no warrior defense line, there will be no one, anyway, if there are monsters rushing through the distribution area of [Phantom Tribulus terrestris], there is Bussomis's arrow mending knife in the middle range, there is Aglaia's [Suggestion Technique] to counter monsters in the short range, and in contact battles, there is Sarasi Even if she doesn't use the holy silver scythe, Sarath's wind blade can easily tear monsters that are not higher than her level to pieces!
Maybe it's because of the location where Wutong is located, Yijing is the area where the battle is most intense, so the alarmed Enforcer Knight came to inspect for a while, and after a while, he left without disturbing Wutong, and they still need to patrol everywhere because of their strong force, so as to support the unstoppable defense line at any time.
It is actually helpless to let the "low" beginner adventurers form a defense line to resist monsters, although even the lowest-level guards are all strong warriors above the 1st order and 100 levels, the enforcer knights generally have 2nd order, and the squad leader level enforcer knights are all 3rd order intermediate knights.
But their number is too small, and they can't defend this new city that has just been built and is ready to accommodate a large number of adventurers, and the long perimeter defense line without decent city walls can only let a large number of low-level adventurers go up first, and hold on to wait for reinforcements.
It was simply exposed, and the sycamore no longer twisted it, signaling the three of them to play at will, and Sarasi was already suffocated, and when she heard this, she dragged the silver giant scythe out of the void, and flew into the sky with a flutter of wings, and after a few hovers in the air with a roar, the speed was increased to the limit, and then suddenly dived down from the air
Have you ever seen a wheat harvest? Sarath didn't even need to attack, just keep her astonishing speed and then pull down the indestructible blade of the silver scythe and release it into the crowd. ..., and Bussomith, after no longer suppressing his rate of fire, glanced at the pile of 200 quivers piled up nearby, the mysterious energy fluctuated slightly, and the arrows trembled, floating up from the quiver, forming a "wing" behind Sarasi that was even bigger than her wings!
Then Bussomis flared his wings slightly, allowing himself to float, and just hovered in the air at a height of four or five meters, and quickly pulled the blood-red compound longbow!
This is her special skill [Rapid Fire], she doesn't need to pick up the arrow herself, every time the string is opened, the arrow that makes up the "wings" will be like a chain that automatically loads, and an arrow will be "handed" to the bowstring, while Bussomis only needs to "gently" pull the bowstring and launch it.
Yes!
Seeing the slender "winged elf" girl, suspended in mid-air, as if pulling a soft rubber band, "ding ding dong" easily plucked the compound longbow that was almost as high as her, as if playing an elf silver filigree lyre as elegant, the rangers who temporarily acted as archers, couldn't help but feel embarrassed for a while.
These big men, all of them have big shoulders and round waists, and they can't even catch up with a weak elf girl, the rate of fire is super slow, and the accuracy is very poor, even if they just use the most basic [general shooting], they can only fire 20 arrows at most, and they will run out of stamina, and they must retreat to rest and eat to replenish the physical strength consumed, and if they use the relevant skills of shooting, the stamina will be more like a flush toilet.
And Aglaya is still that lazy and charming appearance, neither attacking nor paying attention to the "companions" who are exerting power, just standing leisurely behind the sycamore, and even boringly raising her slender and white palms from time to time to see if her pink and tender nails are perfectly trimmed.
But Sycamore knew that this was just an illusion, and she was able to tie with the mighty Bussomis! Whether it's ranged, melee, hand-to-hand combat, or spells, these two seemingly enchanting "elf" girls are not as weak as they seem on the outside.
The reason why they are fighting like this is because they are bound by the contract rune and have to obey the orders of the Sycamore, and in the case of negative favorability, they can't talk about any loyalty to the master who "enslaved" them, so in the mentality of "passive sabotage", they just took the simplest and most trouble-free way of fighting.
Wutong didn't say much, and didn't force them to show their true strength, according to subtle observations, Wutong Yijing found that Aglaya has a cunning personality and likes to use the simplest and most labor-saving methods to solve problems, like a cunning and lazy fox, and her ability tends to [confusion control], but at the same time she has not weak spell-casting ability, such as "electric spells", and even melee hand-to-hand combat, she also has good strength.
And Busomis has an impulsive personality, very aggressive, like a dangerous female leopard, her fighting style is very hot, proficient in bows and arrows, and her melee ability is even more than half of the warriors when she has the ability to cast spells with fire!
Even Wutong began to be a little amazed, how powerful the two contract creatures he inexplicably subdued, although their current rank, like Saras, because of the contract, they were suppressed the same as themselves, and even because of the existence of their own master, they could never exceed his level, but the skills they used were obviously weakened versions of high-level skills, but they couldn't be fully exerted because of the limitations of rank and strength.
With these "followers", Wutong faintly felt that he seemed to have touched some of the "way of survival" of the mage profession, a powerful mage should never put himself in "danger", so he needs strong followers to protect himself, and how to choose followers is a very deep knowledge! ..., after all, a mage with [intelligence] as the main attribute can't invest too much in the [charisma] attribute, and the [charisma] attribute is related to the number of points of [leadership], to put it simply, each point of [charisma] attribute derives a little [command] attribute, and a little [command] attribute, which corresponds to the number of a follower.
As a result, they usually only have 11 or 12 points, and the number of followers is very limited (except for players with a high talent [Charisma] stat, or players who have invested in [Charisma] stats). How to select and assign the classes of followers is very crucial, if the assignment is good, the mage who cannot go out to level up alone will also have the ability to go out alone for leveling and adventure like other classes.
It's just that even if the mage player has a high enough charisma value, how to make the natives willing to follow him is also a very headache, a strong follower is not so easy to meet, although you can first randomly make up enough followers, and when you meet a stronger follower, you will be dissatisfied with the expulsion from the team, but if you do so, it is likely to cause other followers to think that you are a master of the cold nature, not worthy of allegiance and take the initiative to leave you, then it will be more than worth the loss.
In the short term, Sycamore does not have this trouble, although he has not invested attribute points in the [Charisma] attribute, but the talent of 18 charisma attributes and 4 charisma bonuses give him 22 follower places.
In addition, after these two contract creatures came to him inexplicably, they inexplicably brought him a total of 46 points of [charm] attribute increase, which led to him having 64 points of [charm] attribute and 27 points of [charm] bonus for nothing, with a total of 91 follower places, which is enough for him to recruit a large number of followers.
It is undeniable that he may not have to worry about running out of followers for a long time, because so far, counting the four Aboriginal Barrier warriors, and the two non-human wanderers of Zara and Wood, he has only recruited a total of six followers.
(Ma Note: [Animal Companions], [Elemental Companions], and [Contract Creature Creatures] do not count as followers, including [Slaves] and [Servants (Male Servants/Maids)] that may appear in the following article, and do not count towards the Follower quota.) The 20 knights who can be canonized by themselves brought by Wutong's aristocratic status are not counted as followers, but as [subordinates], and they are not exhaustive, as will be seen later. )
If the number of followers of the Sycamore is known by other players, it is very likely that he will go crazy, but the Sycamore has a headache, because it is not a good thing to have too many followers, how much does it cost to raise?
It is difficult enough for a mage to support himself, and the followers' food, clothing, housing, transportation, equipment, consumables, supplies, strength growth, skill learning, etc., also need to be provided by the "master" who is followed, and some of them also need to pay relatively generous salaries, so raising followers is much more expensive than raising a group of workers.
Therefore, it is not a very happy thing for Wutong to be such a "poor to death" beginner mage with such a large number of followers, not full, right? Pity! Full, right? Can't afford it
The crazy harvest of Sarath and Busomis made the players in the area where the sycamore is located, because of his "bad" monster robbery behavior, very depressed and continue to get out of the way, resulting in the further expansion of the scope of the defense line that he is responsible for "one person", this "arrogant" behavior, caused a large number of players to envy and envy the "hatred of the rich" psychology, of course, accompanied by the worship and awe of the "master", which caused them to dare not approach the area where the sycamore is located.
Wutong was also very helpless about his situation of "detaching from the masses", and he was depressed, he suddenly found that whether it was Sarath or Bussomis, all the monsters they killed, all the "decapitation battle medals", were actually all counted on themselves, and even the soul energy points that erupted after the monster died were all absorbed by him! …,
And Sarath, Busomis, Aglaia, the two demon pets, and even his [animal companion] little monkey Embarrassment, etc., can only get the experience points needed to level up through his distribution, otherwise, they can only get the part of the soul energy points that they can't absorb after their soul energy pool is overflowing to improve their level!
After a pause, Wutong understood that this was a privilege given to him by the core consciousness god as the "master", and the "authority" of the master came from this.
However, Zara, Wood, and the four Barrier Warriors, these six followers are not subject to this restriction, however, if the follower's strength exceeds his master too much, the various needs increase, and the master's supply cannot keep up, it is very likely that the followers will leave.
This discovery made Wutong break out in a cold sweat, but fortunately, it was discovered early, and his identity (mage, noble), strength and financial resources did not make them feel unworthy of following because of their low rank, so there was no betrayal of the followers for the time being.
You must know that the level of Zara, Wood and the four Barrier Warriors is much higher than him, and he is now invested in a large number of soul energy points because of a large number of skills to burn, so the level is still only 1st and 10th, but Zara and Wood are both 1st and 70th level wanderers, and the four aboriginal Barrier Warriors, because of the adventures during this time, have been promoted to the 1st level 2 and 30, but he is the lowest level of the master!
It seems that you can't just patronize the level of burning skills and spells, and you have to pay attention to improving your level, otherwise, it will not be good if the level is too low and will be despised by the followers.
However, there are also benefits of low level, and the reward for skipping the level is uproar, and the [soul energy pool] of 550 million soul energy points possessed by the 1st and 10th levels of Wutong usually overflows once after the risk, but every time it is full before, it will be used by him to burn the spell level.
After taking a look at his soul energy pool, Yijing had saved more than 500 million soul energy points, and this time Wutong simply burned the soul energy points to the three of them, raising their level to the same level as himself.
Shalasi, who was flying in the air, suddenly stopped, she screamed with joy, and her body flashed 10 times in a row with a faint soul energy brilliance representing the ascension of power, burning 220 million soul energy points in the sycamore!
After Sharasi woke up on the Gray Bone Plains before, Yijing advanced from level 0 to level 1 and level 0, but she was never assigned soul energy points by Wutong, so she never leveled up.
And Aglaya and Busomith, since they were summoned, they have been level 1 and level 0, and Wutong has burned another 220 million soul energy points to upgrade Busomis to level 1 and level 10, leaving more than 50 million soul energy points, and can only upgrade Aglaia, who has been lazy and slacking off, to level 1 and level 6.
The level of Busomith increased, the attack power of the arrows became sharper and sharper, and after feeling that her strength had improved, she was slightly excited to show a provocative look to Aglaya, whose strength was lower than herself, and even glanced at Wutong, her eyes were no longer so cold, but a little expectant.
Looking at Aglaia, who didn't seem to have any reaction, still so lazy and charming, Wutong nodded slightly with satisfaction, he could see that Aglaya didn't seem to care, but there was a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.
This is a good phenomenon, because he found that because of this differential treatment, the attitude of the two contract creatures who had been in conflict with him has changed, and Busomis, who was rewarded for "working hard", finally fluctuated slightly!
While the two contract creatures still don't have a crush on him, Bussomis goes from [Ignore: -5] to [Disregard: 0], and Aglaya goes from [Disregard: -5] to [Disregard: -4]. ..., it seems that there must still be competition, as long as they have a "pursuit", even if this "pursuit" is for internal strife, it also means that Sycamore has a chance to improve his relationship with the two contract creatures.
As for Sarath, who has been following his [Elemental Companion], the "Relationship Value" Yijing has risen to [Passion: 30], and as long as Wutong does not deliberately abuse her, theoretically speaking, the Elemental Wind Bat will not defect.
"Hey, hey! Sycamore"
Wutong was proud, when he suddenly heard Lin Linling's voice, and when he looked back, he found that it was Lin Linling running over with half a cigarette and his four aboriginal barrier warrior followers.
Lin Linling, who had never seen the battle of the contract creatures of the sycamore, watched the battle between Sarath and Busomis that was raging in the air for a while, and shook her head in amazement: "How can you make such a big scene when you go there?" ”
Wutong shrugged his shoulders innocently, while half a cigarette stared at Aglaya beside Wutong, drooled for a while, and secretly arched Wutong with a sneer: "Hey, hey! Boss Sycamore, where did you find such a superb elf girl? ”
I didn't bother to pay attention to his look, but I didn't find the figure of the pastoral flower, and Wutong said strangely: "What about the little flower?" Why don't you come here instead of commanding the battle? ”
Half a cigarette was depressed: "Say it again!" I was originally in command of the battle over there, but the brothers below reported that there was a red-robed mage who 'robbed monsters', didn't I come with Sister Zero to see what was going on, and it turned out that it was your boss who was here to exert his might! Xiaohua's "Shadow Mercenary Group" is defending on the other side, and the position you are standing on now is the territory of my "Shadow Patrol Mercenary Group"! ”
The Ranger players who were squeezed aside by the sycamore were members of the "Shadow Patrol Mercenary Group" led by Half a Cigarette, and he alone occupied dozens of meters of defense, and the Salas and Bussomes flying in the sky made a mess of the entire defense line in this direction, although it reduced the pressure on those players in disguise, but the feeling of being "robbed" was naturally not so good, no wonder someone would run to their boss to make a "small report".
"Do you want some people to come and help?"
Lin Linling looked at it, and felt that she had asked a nonsense, the cooperation of Wutong and the two flying in the sky could not kill the monsters in this direction beyond the range of the spell, and the corpses were more than a hundred feet away, all piled up into a "small mountain beam", not to mention that there was a contract creature that was "idle" and did not move, plus with the close protection of the four barrier warriors she brought over, Wutong alone could top them a squadron of 100 people-
9/12
