Chapter 122: Lane's Inference
In the days since the muskets were distributed, Yi Hui did not rush to find the whereabouts of the Assassins, nor did he try to find the thieves who did not show up, he led Fisher and the other three through the swamp to the south, to the wasteland at the rock face to the south of the basin, and set up a temporary camp on the rocks that protruded from the ground.
In order to find Yi Hui, they had to pass through the swamp that stretched for dozens of miles, so that they could climb the solid landscape of the wasteland area.
Around the camp, Atsai arranged hundreds of traps, large and small, and various clips, crossbows, and ground thorns filled the entire path to the camp.
In the shallow waters of the swamp, there are also dozens of zombie snakes that Yi Hui has transformed before, and whenever a humanoid creature approaches, it will warn Yi Hui through the soul imprint.
After making all these arrangements, Yi Hui explained the loading and use of various types of muskets with Fisher, Atsai, and Kara respectively. This aspect is simple, everyone can learn it as soon as they learn it, but it was Carla who had the first problem in aiming and shooting, and the explosion of the musket startled her the first time she shot, and it was easy to overcome the violent sound of the gunshot.
The fastest to enter the country was Fisher, who, in his words, said: "There is no essential difference between this shooting and fishing, it requires concentration and wrist stability, and I think I can use this weapon with ease." ”
As Fisher said, basically a fist-sized target within 100 steps could not escape his shot, and the speed at which he pulled the bolt to change the bullet was also very fast, and the speed of the continuous shot was almost equal to Yi Hui's revolver.
"It's so much easier than changing bait on a hook." Fisher, who had regained his health, was inevitably a little fluttering after he had achieved some results with the musket.
Yi Hui didn't say anything, which was also the result he wanted to see.
Atsai's side is not bad, he has been immersed in silver for a long time in lockpicking and trapping, he is not weaker than Fisher in terms of reloading, shooting and gun stability, but there is one problem that cannot be overcome, that is, the hot barrel.
Although Atsai had a hand speed in terms of reloading, the hot barrel was the only problem that prevented him from reloading quickly. The principle of the Burst Magic Array is to generate a violent burst of fire element through the energy storage and energy supply of magic energy ore to produce a thrust on the projectile, so that the barrel of the gun that has fired more than ten bullets will inevitably be heated and difficult to touch with the hand, greatly delaying the frequency of the fire that should be very rapid.
Yi Hui decided to let Attest use the original magazine musket, while Kara used Yi Hui's revolver. Yi Hui picked up the original musket.
The revolver has a fast rate of fire, which also saves the need to reload, and Kara can play a greater firepower advantage by relying on the characteristics of fast movement speed. And, most importantly, the revolver is much quieter with Gilji's improvements, so Kara won't lose her marksmanship due to nervousness.
Yi Hui uses the primordial musket as long as he uses the rune confinement to trap the enemy and then performs a blow after the deceptive magic crit buff, the output is already very objective, and there is also a bonus of magic cut that can add extra damage. Moreover, his output means are not small, with the true and false Wukong and the newly extracted can only wither, even if he breaks through the enemy formation, Yi Hui has the confidence to retreat with his whole body, and the extra movement speed of the newly acquired berserker shin armor is not good-looking.
For 3 days in a row, the rock wall and wasteland occupied by Yi Hui in the south were calm, and the four thieves also practiced their marksmanship diligently.
The undead on the periphery did not give Yi Hui any information, and it seemed that it would take some time for the assassins to find this place.
Yi Hui wasn't afraid that the Assassins wouldn't come, at least with his knowledge of Ryan and Dartes through his psychic vision, and Malderson's refusal to give up after suffering a great loss at his hands, they would definitely not let go of the Thieves' Guild easily.
This is all what Yi Hui knows, and what he doesn't know.
Delaying the competition until time runs out is not the style of an assassin at all, for the assassins, Yi Hui and the other four or even all the thieves have become the target of their hunting, if they are allowed to leave the killing arena alive and alive, it will make them lose face.
Moreover, in the future, the Assassins' Guild would reward merit by head, and for now, there was nothing to be gained in the hands of Marderson and Maunez.
Among the search formations of the Assassins, who were 100 meters wide and stretched out horizontally, the one who was most anxious and eager to find the whereabouts of the thieves was undoubtedly Baderson. Yi Hui's revenge for the three shots he gave him can be said to have hurt his body and heart, although the bleeding has stopped under the effect of the wound medicine, and the wound is gradually healing. However, when he thought of the pain, he was resentful.
Sitting in a wheelchair, Madson was pushed by Maunez to walk in the forest, his left and right hands were injured, he undoubtedly lost the ability to move freely, and now he only hoped that he could find Yi Hui or any thief quickly, and have a good torture to vent the hatred in his heart.
At a resting place, Ryan took out a paper map, pointed to the area that had been painted with diagonal stripes, and said to the Assassins: "Starting from the northern region, we have searched all the corners, and your detectors have not issued any warnings, unless the thieves are more than 20 meters underground, otherwise this area is really free of thieves." ”
"We have also searched most of the forests in the north-central region, and there is nothing but the grave of Baucel and the body of Encha, who happened to die from the sword, and Bauxel's head was cut off by a sword, which fully shows that it can only be one person - Yi Hui, so this time we must find him and kill him, if we let such a person go against our Assassin Guild, it will not do us any good."
Ryan pointed to the map and continued, "It took us three days just to explore the entire north, and according to Madderson and Maunez's report, Yi Hui formed a two-person team with at least that female thief, and even more in number. As we all know, the more people there are, the harder it is to hide, especially when we have detectors in our hands. I deduce that the rest of the thieves who didn't show up may have gathered together in another way of contact, and we can't rule out that the thieves' guild has a secret contact, as we did. ”
"We have searched most of the forest areas in the north-central region, and although the swamps in the south-central part are easy to hide, they are always difficult places to stay for a long time, and basically the only place where thieves can be hidden is the stone wasteland area in the south." Beneath Lane's circle, all the Assassins' attention was focused on the Stone Wastes region to which he was referring.
"Ryan is right, I wouldn't have been able to stay in the swamp for long, at least the abominable locusts and mosquitoes were unbearable to me, so I'm even more sure they've made it through the swamp to the Stone Wasteland." Maunez cupped his chin in thought, and he echoed, "I think that even if some of them can endure such concealment, most of them will not be able to stay for long, at least the female thief will definitely not be able to stay for long, and Yi Hui will not be able to leave her alone." I agree with Ryan. ”
"So what else do you want? Just kill it! "Without those damn trees, my throwing knives would have been more powerful than they should be, and those thieves were really killing themselves." ”
"In that gourd-mouth terrain, I'll let them know the horror of the poisonous mist!" Madson gritted his teeth and said, it seemed that he had already imagined the picture of Yi Hui struggling in pain in the poisonous fog in his mind, if it wasn't for torturing him to death like this, Madson wouldn't have any satisfaction at all.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Wester brandished the black butcher's knife and frothed at the mouth, only killing was what he was interested in, just tell him who the target was, if it wasn't for a suit of clothes, Wester's whole person looked basically like a beast.
"Okay, let's rest here for the time being, and we'll head to the Southern Stone Wastes early tomorrow morning." Ryan finally made a decision on the battle plan for the next day.
On the map of the southern Stone Wastes, Ryan drew a large bright red circle.
"It seems that the Assassin boys have already calculated the whereabouts of the thieves, hmph......" Caines said leisurely as he sat in a soft chair, "Yi Hui gathered the thieves together, I really don't know if he is smart or stupid?" Obviously, there are a little more people on our side. It seems that the thieves are going to be wiped out......"
"President Caines seems to have a lot of confidence in your proud disciple, but in the current situation, wouldn't it be better for the Assassins to win by outnumbering them as long as they hold firmly, so that unnecessary casualties can be avoided?" Master Wall said that as the leader of a warrior guild, he was more concerned about victory, and in his opinion, the Assassins' Guild was clearly a sure winner in terms of formal inference, and he did not understand the Assassins' stubbornness to hunt down the thieves.
"No, no, no, that's not what I wanted, a bland victory was too boring for me. I think Ryan should think the same way, as it stands, our victory is certain, at least I don't want it to leave any regrets. Keynes said confidently, glancing casually at Master Teve as he spoke.
Master Taifu didn't pay attention to Keynes's actions at all, he didn't have much thought other than believing that Yi Hui could surprise him, so he left everything to Yi Hui and watched from the sidelines.
Master Vedas pointed to the picture on Yi Hui's side and said, "What do you think of the strange weapons in the hands of the thieves, President Keynes?" Isn't this strange weapon a threat to your disciples and the young Assassins? ”
"Hehe......" Keynes said with a slight disdainful wave of his hand, "it was just a momentary mistake on the part of Maldeson, but it was just a weapon like a crossbow arrow, and that kind of thing was of no use to the Assassins when guarded." ”
"In contrast, I care more about Yi Hui's body, and how many secrets we don't know." Keynes gently stroked the bridge of his nose with his right hand, looking meaningfully at Yi Hui, who was guiding Kara through shooting practice on the projection. (To be continued.) )
