Act 226 The Necromancer
"We're here to fight, grab the enemy's attention until the mission is done! That's the plan! Baron Riley raised his head proudly, his eyes were full of determination, and Xing Chen couldn't see the slightest falsehood.
Baron Riley's performance shocked Xing Chen, who had always thought that Baron Riley and Gallithers were all of the same virtue, and all of them hated non-human creatures, whether it was fish-people like Xing Chen, Naga, or their allies, elves and dwarves. In fact, if it weren't for Garissus' arrogance and arrogance, the blood elves of Kael'thas would not have come together with the Nagas, and there wouldn't have been so many stories later.
Even if they are very close to humans, the dwarves who have been classified into the human camp in War3 can't escape the poisonous mouth of Garriss, and this guy rescued a group of dwarves in the battle, which should have been a good opportunity to win people's hearts, but Garissus mocked the dwarves for having a picnic, and the impression among the dwarves did not increase but decreased!
What kind of general brings what kind of soldiers, it stands to reason that Baron Riley shouldn't be any better even if he is not as extreme as Garriss, but now Xing Chen actually heard Baron Riley say that he wanted to attract the attention of the enemy for himself and create conditions for their attack, how could Xing Chen not be shocked!? Although this choice should be the best choice of course from a normal point of view, Xing Chen is an untrusted foreign mercenary in the setting after all! Generally speaking, aren't they all aliens who are cannon fodder!?
Even if Xing Chen is replaced as the commander, he will be worried: is it really okay to hand over the key steps of this kind of mission to a group of foreign mercenaries who are of the same race as the enemy and just join the army for money!?
"I'm going to get it done!" Xing Chen said in a low voice, he didn't want his voice to be heard by the enemy.
It has nothing to do with Baron Riley's attitude. Xing Chen really thought so in his heart. He really wanted to do his best to complete this mission. Maybe others think that this mission is very fucked, and their minds are always thinking about how to escape with the prepaid equipment that has arrived, anyway, the system will not punish them for failing the mission, after all, there is no mention of punishment in the mission description, and the only ones who really threaten them to run away are Baron Riley and these Terran NPCs - although the system has no discipline, it is clear that the mission statement written will never be faked.
Originally, it would be difficult for even the same clan to escape, but now that there is a large group of obvious targets like Baron Riley and their queen to attract the attention of the enemy, maybe there is a real chance to escape!
As for the warehouse? If the island has already discovered that there are intruders, how can it not strengthen the defense of the warehouse. They just rushed over, and even if they completed their mission, wouldn't they still die under siege from the enemy!? Who doesn't know that they are "traitors" when the time comes!? If you have a life to earn or not to spend money, who would do such a stupid thing!
But Xing Chen is different, he has been upgraded to level 7 with mixed experience during this time, he is confident in his escape ability, and he also understands that this time he can destroy the warehouse on the island one minute earlier, the human camp can benefit one minute earlier, and their club has a better chance of winning this strangulation battle.
Of course, the benefits for Xing Chen himself are also very huge, and Xing Chen can be completely sure that as long as he can kill two or three warehouses, the points obtained can at least save his life in this confrontation. Even if you lose, you won't be wiped out because your score is too low.
This is also the reason why Xing Chen is willing to gamble on this.
"I'm sure you won't let me down!" Baron Riley said very seriously.
Xing Chen nodded, and then disappeared into the crowd. Seeing Xing Chen and them gradually walking away, until they couldn't see their figures, Baron Riley added: "Of course I won't be disappointed, because there is nothing in the plan for you garbage or anything!" Since I didn't expect even the slightest bit from you, naturally there was nothing to be disappointed with. ”
Baron Riley smiled coldly, retracted his gaze, and focused all his attention on the enemy in front of him, the fish-man laborer was not a threat, what he was looking for was trouble with the blood elves!
Seeing a group of Blood Elf infantry holding tower shields and forming a tight formation towards him, Baron Riley reached out and snapped his fingers contemptuously.
"Corpse Explosion!"
In an instant, the corpse of the fish-man laborer who was trampled under the feet of the Blood Elf Infantry swelled violently, and exploded with a "bang", and the shock wave of the explosion blew up the originally dense formation of the Blood Elf Infantry into a cloud of scattered sand, and the corrosive corpse poison splashed all over the entire Blood Elf Infantry Squad.
The parts infected by the corpse poison turned yellow-green almost instantly, and then the skin began to fester, and the faces of the blood elf infantry became worse and worse, and the blood bar continued to drop!
"Corpse explosion! This guy is a necromancer! ”
"Ah!? It's a necromancer! Evil necromancer! ”
"Mage! Why hasn't our mage army come yet! I need treatment! ”
……
Shouting in horror, the blood elf troops instantly went into chaos, looking at the terrified enemy Baron Riley in front of him, he smiled proudly: "The choice of this place as a battlefield is not only because of the low combat effectiveness of the fish-man laborers, as a group of lowly creatures, it is also an honor to be able to contribute the corpse for my Baron Riley!" As corpses, they are much more powerful than when they were alive! ”
Then, Baron Riley's corpse explosion kept unleashing, and the Blood Elves who came to support were soon all infected with the corpse poison - the ground was littered with the corpses of fish-man laborers, and it was too late for the Blood Elves to escape.
Looking at the crumbling blood elf troops, Baron Riley was very satisfied with the effect of his corpse explosion: "There is no need to continue to waste magic, just let them be poisoned by corpse poison!" ”
At this time, a human infantryman beside Baron Riley came up: "Lord Baron, look at the port. ”
Baron Riley turned his head to look at the sea, and the shadowy floating lights were already filled with the sea, and it was getting closer and closer: "Those long-eared fleets have returned, presumably the Nagas on the sea should also rush back to rescue." ”
"I originally wanted to save some magic, but now it seems that it is better to solve it quickly, what a waste!" Shrugging his shoulders, Baron Riley replenished a few corpse explosions for the Blood Elf troops, then turned around and left: "The enemy's reinforcements are coming soon, follow me, let's go somewhere else to continue the attack!" It's not fun to wait for those long-eared mages to arrive! ”
…………………………
Xing Chen didn't know what was happening on the battlefield on Baron Riley's side, and he sneaked away alone while in the chaos, and did not act with the other mercenaries - in his opinion, the quality of these mercenaries was uneven, and the collective action was more eye-catching, and once someone showed their feet, it was easy to affect themselves, so it was convenient and safe to act alone.
Due to the unique setting of this world, the short fish-man nightcrawler is difficult to find, and his outstanding night vision allows Xing Chen to always find the opponent one step ahead of the enemy and gain the first opportunity, which makes Xing Chen quite secure.
"Damn, that baron only knows that the warehouse is on the island but doesn't know where the warehouse is, it's hard to find!" Xing Chen said depressedly, there are indeed not many Naga troops inside the island, but I don't know why there are quite a lot of buildings, some are abandoned buildings during the war, some are buildings that are scrawled up by the fishmen and do not know the purpose, and there are also a lot of vigilantes scattered in it who are searching, but more are some empty rooms, obviously before becoming a supply warehouse, the fishmen wanted to use this place as a base that they didn't know what to do, but later it was abandoned and turned into a supply storage place.
Because it is a temporary change of use, the warehouse on this island is not built on the shore like other ports, and it is not a dedicated warehouse, it is likely to be temporarily placed using other buildings, it is difficult to distinguish by appearance and location, if you want to search room by room, it is not only easy to go wrong but also too much time, God knows how long Baron Riley's people can last, and there is not enough time left for themselves.
Although Baron Riley said that he wanted His Royal Highness, Xing Chen didn't believe that guy so easily, he had prepared for the worst - Baron Riley escaped without much fighting.
"Time is running out......"
Suddenly, Xing Chen noticed the deep rut marks on the ground that had been run over by the wheels, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "How did I forget this!" Even if the supplies were transported to the front line by ship, because the warehouses were far from the coast, horse-drawn carriages were used for loading and unloading on the islands! Just follow the road and you're sure to find out which buildings are warehouses! ”
Walking along the road that was muddy with ruts, Xing Chen soon found a suspicious target, which looked like it should have been a church before, but it had been abandoned for a long time, only the door that often needed to be walked around was still a little angry, and the rest of the place seemed to have been untouched for a long time.
The rut marks lead here, and some are scattered to other buildings around, but they are not far away, and the most important thing is that Xing Chen found a large amount of scattered wheat around, and the patrol team is already quite dense!
If this is no longer a supply warehouse, it can only be said that the enemy's sense of camouflage is really great, and they are simply bullying medieval tin cans with the level of deception and reconnaissance satellites.
"Anyway, let's find a chance to go in and see what is going on." Xing Chen secretly thought, at this moment, he suddenly saw several familiar figures-three mercenaries actually touched this place, and they swaggered so much to pretend to be Naga soldiers approaching the enemy's sentry!
There is no obvious hint of friend or foe in this world, and even friendly forces can do it as long as they are intentional, until the three mercenaries who approached the enemy were not recognized! (To be continued......)
