Chapter Eighty-Five: Blossoming Behind Enemy Lines
"Bang! Boom! Boom! "A large number of orbs exploded in the rear camp of the attackers. The bombs created by the alchemists instantly embarrassed the enemy casters.
A normal alchemy bomb is a powerful explosive formed by alchemists who infuse themselves with their magic in unstable compounds. Normally, it can only deal fire damage. However, the alchemist group sometimes achieves an incredible achievement in their alchemy. And some of them could be used to strengthen the bombs they had made - but unfortunately Barrett, who was temporarily blind, could not see the Bombermen in full swing, but could only hear the deafening roar.
The mist flames that spread out were modified 'high-explosive bombs'. Those alchemists had doubled the area of their alchemy bombs compared to what they had done before. What's more, mobs that take damage from Alchemy Bombs will burn, taking 1-6 fire damage every 6 seconds until the flames go out. All of a sudden, many of the enemy casters and their guards who were set on fire had to rush to extinguish the fire. Several of them even rolled on the ground regardless of their image.
It's nowhere near as good as fireball, but it's really regional - in the past, Barrett had always referred to alchemists' bombs as thrown glass bottles, because their area of effect was so small. How many people can be injured in a radius of only 5 feet? Are you a supermarket where my Great Celestial Empire is promoting one-two?
The rising yellow-green clouds are the result of the 'stench bomb'. These alchemist-crafted bombs can create a terrifying foul-smelling cloud that covers twice the normal splash range, comparable to a 'high explosive'. For the next 6 seconds, the stinking clouds were able to simulate the mage's 'Stinky Cloud Technique'.
Although it didn't last long. But it's enough to make the casters of the poor constitution tumble in their stomachs. Even the mage who had relied on the 'Secondary Spell Nullity Enchantment' to ignore Rielly's fireballs. At the moment, I had to bend over and retch, too—because the effect of the alchemy bomb was supernatural. It is not within the scope of 'Secondary Spell Nullification Enchantments'.
In addition, there are special large bombs with lightning and thunder, strong acid and freezing fog. While their reach is far from the first two, the visuals aren't bad either. Unfortunately, the effect achieved is far less than the first two, after all, this special alchemy bomb is used against certain special enemies that are immune to fire. And the targets they are targeting obviously do not have the ability to do so. Even if it's temporary, it's too late to temporarily apply 'Protective Energy Damage (Fire)'.
The situation in front of us has caused the casters who thought they were safe to scramble. Suddenly, an 80-foot-long fiery snake suddenly crossed the battlefield, and the casters who had separated from each other began to jump again. Those who know the inside story will understand that this is the 'bombing' technique used by an alchemist.
When the Alchemist uses this technique, the effect of the bomb explosion will be applied to targets in a 40-foot line of the Plastic City instead of creating a circular mourning radius. The line starts from the point where the alchemist's bomb lands, and continues in the direction he specified. Of course, the 80-foot fiery snake in front of him was a masterpiece formed by the opponent's 'bombing' technique of throwing 'high-explosive bombs'.
Discover the rear casters of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce who have arrived with reinforcements from the Church. I immediately felt a sense of retreat. They who failed to achieve success in the previous raid have actually lost a small half. Now facing the enemy's superior forces from both sides, it is really a negative danger.
These death-fearing spellcasters immediately activated their own means of survival: some of them turned into clouds and mist, and fled the battlefield with the help of the fierce valley wind; Some of them suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, and it is unknown whether they disappeared or left the valley by teleportation. Others suddenly soared into the sky, turning into a black dot in the sky, which was too much to intercept......
The escape methods of these eight immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers are really eye-opening for many aboriginal adventurers who have never seen much of the world. However, this chaotic situation in the rear immediately affected the barbarians and warriors who rushed to the front line. Barrett clearly felt that the blade slashing at him had a noticeable decrease in both strength and frequency.
He immediately seized the opportunity to unleash the 'Iron Heart Power'. The burning sensation that came from his eyes disappeared under the influence of the power of self-purification. The eyes that couldn't be opened are now finally seeing again. And that's when Barrett's eyes came into view. It was the ugly faces of the attackers who had beaten the camp so badly.
After the spell casting support from the rear disappeared, these front-line warriors did not fall into the red, though not quickly. But with the concentration of the camp patrol team returned. It was only a matter of time before they were defeated. Increasing stress and psychological burden deepened their fears. When the fastest reinforcements came into everyone's sight, the attackers, who had been reduced by nearly a third of their numbers, finally collapsed.
These guys left and gave up the enemies they had fought to the death, and they wanted their parents to give them two more legs to flee the battlefield. And look at the camp defenders who have just relieved themselves, under this sudden change, many people are actually stunned. Barrett, who had regained his sight, was the first to charge: "What are you doing here?" Don't chase after it and catch the prisoners! ”
After saying this, he relied on the state given by the acceleration shoes, and rushed out first. Priest Weldon had already said that the remuneration in addition to the advance payment was determined by the performance of the preempted in the course of action. For this purpose, they also specifically applied for an observer from the Church of the 'Lord of Notars' to ensure notarization.
So in order to get as much bounty as possible from the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce, Barrett is fighting hard right now! With his legs swinging rapidly, he immediately approached one of the attackers who had fallen behind. This guy is not one of those barbarians in animal skins, and the armor made of metal and the lack of reinforcement in that aspect naturally can't outrun his comrades.
Barrett, who had chosen his target, swung his Mo knife and swept it, and the sturdy blade slammed into the opponent's left forearm. Intense force pressed the guy's forearm against the waist bar. Immediately afterwards, the whole person was whipped away under Barrett's action. After a few laps in mid-air. The guy tumbled to the ground.
Barrett, who had caught up, expertly gave the other man a head shot. Stun it completely. After making sure that the fruits of his victory would not sneak away, he continued to chase the next target. However, by this time, he had already had a lot of more competitors who had come to his senses, so it would probably take a little more effort to get the next trophy.
'Priest Both's companion is too skilled in this move!' Did he still work in the slave catcher before? If he had been given a lock, perhaps ......Priest Weldon, who had finally been able to breathe, had such a thought popping into his head after seeing Barrett's actions.
The reason why he chose to capture the prisoner is because Barrett knows that the living are almost always worth more than the dead in the game, no matter what time it is. It should be said that under the social structure here, the population itself is a great wealth. The 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce' Church is powerful. There may be a way to get these guys out - although the slave trade is openly banned on the mainland, there are still a few slave-owning states in the eastern desert. Not to mention the possibility that the forces behind these attackers could spend money to ransom people, as well as the intelligence that could be plucked out of their mouths.
It's a pity that there are quite a few attackers this time, and the barbarians among them can run faster than ordinary people. Therefore, in the end, those who were pursued, killed, or captured accounted for less than one-fifth of them. The rest fled into the woods in the middle of the valley.
Priest Weldon, who did not know if there was any ambush or trap inside, immediately spoke out to stop further pursuit. As a leader, he knew that the most important thing now was to clean up the battlefield and get the camp back up and running as quickly as possible. After all, his mission this time was not to fight with other organizations, but to ensure that the search operation of the church could go smoothly.
And even if there is no pre-planned preparation for the attacker in the woods, it will be exponentially more difficult to catch or kill the enemy somewhere. The required manpower is 4-5 times more than the time and the previous pursuit. In this case, resources are also put into that kind of thing. When the mission is over, he will definitely be put into a separate book by the organization for the reason that it is difficult to be useful. For any priest who was ambitious and expected to advance, that would be an outcome they could not afford.
While cleaning up the battlefield, Barrett saw several people wearing the 'Lord of Notars' church logo. I think they were confirming the results of this time. And on the battlefield just now, they didn't seem to participate in the battle, but confirmed everyone's performance in a special way from a distance - it seems that although the Church of the 'Lord of Notary' accepted the request of the Church of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce, it has no intention of getting involved further!
After the bodies were plucked clean by the followers of the Goddess of Wealth and Commerce Church, the bodies of the dead were piled up for cremation. The winter wolves are not so good, and what awaits them is the dismantling and division of a group of alchemists.
Although it is difficult to peel off the whole fur of these corpses, the fragments can be turned into treasure in the hands of a skilled tailor. Not to mention that the muscles, bones, and internal organs of the winter wolf are also precious materials. In particular, their lung lobes are an important substitute for dragon's stomach among many strange objects and raw materials for alchemy props.
By the time everything was back on track, the sun had disappeared over the mountains, and the fiery clouds on the horizon reflected the blood on the ground. Players returning to the sentry found that the place was almost ruined. The walls and observation windows on all four sides have been damaged to varying degrees, and the utensils inside are almost impossible to put together. The convection formed by the door that did not know where it had fallen and the large gap with its back to the camp 'swished' and shivered.
"Looks like it's not going to be able to live here for the time being. Let's go back and ask Priest Weldon what to do next! Shaking his head, Barrett turned to wait for his companions to respond.
Claymatis. Bot smiled and nodded: "I just happened to ask by the way how many gold coins our loot can be converted into this time." ”
"You won't worry about our money being stolen by someone, will you! Didn't you just see the believers of the 'Lord of Notary'? They're not that easy to buy. "Claudia. Auditore laughed at his friend as he spoke.
"You're so young!" Claymatis. Bot stretched out his index finger and shook it, "The followers of the 'Lord of Notary' can only guarantee how much of the loot belongs to us. But can we use all of those things? In the end, you don't have to exchange it for gold coins. In the process of converting goods into gold coins, there are really a lot of cats. And it is not within the scope of the believers of the 'Lord of Notars' who can intervene. With just a slight tweak, our gold coins flew away. ”
Look at Clematis. Bot is talking about such a head and head here, and the players' hearts have become bottomless. Suddenly, Rielie patted her chest with a little gratification: "Fortunately, we still have a traitor here." Otherwise, maybe you will be sold and help others count the money! ”
The blood-stained Greyflower mercenary group, who had made their decision, immediately rushed to the wooden house where Priest Weldon was. However, the events of the attack and the aftermath of the attack have kept Priest Weldon's work busy. Watch as he gives orders to the attendant next to him while handling the papers in his hand. The players knew that he didn't have time to talk to them for the time being.
And they had only been standing at the door for a while, and the attendant from Priest Weldon's side came to the player's side: "A few of you are here to find Lord Weldon!" But as you can see, the priests have little time to solve your problems. ”
"So how long will it take? If it's not long, we can wait a bit. But if it's too long, can you let us disturb Priest Weldon first? After all, the work he assigned to us before is now unable to continue. "Claymatis. Bot said as he handed the minister in front of him a few gold coins.
"Nope! No! No! I don't dare take your money, Priestess. If you're really in a hurry, you can wait. Dinner time is approaching, and Lord Weldon will have a little rest. Someone put the gold coin in his pocket. (To be continued.) )
