Chapter 9 Counterattack and Evacuation

After 'Broken Peak' entered the flesh, Barrett immediately kicked his legs and twisted his waist, and waved his arms as he turned. Immediately after that, the scaled scout who had not yet been killed was carried by the blade to form a circular arch in the air. In this process, the tip of the star iron knife of the 'broken peak' is also constantly cutting the fascia and internal organs of this guy because of the force.

By the time he turned into Barrett's cannonball and was thrown at the dragonfire mancer, the guy was already out of breath. And looking at the oncoming comrades, the dragon fire warlock decisively rolled to the left with a gourd, and then disappeared from Barrett's sight, completely ignoring the meaning of his companion's life or death - this is very much in line with the behavior style of the 'Queen of the Dragon' believers.

"Dragon Fire Evil Technique 'Comes and Goes Without a Trace'? This is really a troublesome guy. Looking at the open space that had lost the figure of the dragon fire warlock, Barrett couldn't help but scold, "Forget it! Fortunately, it's not the most troublesome 'Flying Dragon in the Sky', and it's not unacceptable. ”

'Come and Go Without a Trace' is one of the dragon fire stalks that a dragon fire sorcerer can learn after level 6. It gives the user the ability to disappear from view. Just like being able to only use invisibility on oneself, the biggest difference between the two is that the duration of 'coming and going' is up to 24 hours. It can be said that as long as he casts this spell on himself, unless he is out of the brain and attacks again. Otherwise, the time and effort it takes for players to find him is definitely beyond imagination.

However, to Barrett's rejoice, fortunately, when the aboriginal dragon fire warlock increased his strength, what he awakened was the magic of 'coming and going without a trace', which could only act on himself. If it is an evil technique like 'Flying Dragon in the Sky', it will be even more troublesome - after using 'Flying Dragon in the Sky' evil magic, the recipient will grow virtual wings that imitate dragon wings. And is able to fly at its own land speed and has good maneuverability.

The wings are extremely endurant, allowing the user to fly across land. Gives it a +4 bonus on the Constitution test used to avoid non-lethal damage from forced marches. At the same time, it is the same as 'coming and going'. The effect of this type of dragon fire magic will last for 24 hours.

The ability to stealth is good, but it's not a little worse than flying. Combined with the long duration of the Dragon Fire Evil Technique and the ease of use, it is not impossible to create a temporary air force in a short period of time. And in today's battle, a dragon fire warlock who flies in the air and constantly spews breath is far more difficult to deal with than an enemy who hides in stealth.

Of course, Barrett believed that the dragon fire warlock who had just attacked him did not understand this. It's just that what kind of dragon fire evil art the aboriginal dragon fire warlock awakens is often not something that he can control. Therefore, the ability to obtain such as 'coming and going without a trace' is far more powerful than some dragon fire evil arts that are awakened and almost useless.

However, for Barrett, who does not have the ability to see through the invisibility in his hands, it is not easy to rely on his observation ability to find the invisible person. Although it was only the dragon fire warlock himself who had disappeared, the things around him that he came into contact with would also change because of his presence and become clues to find this guy.

But the town, which has been left in chaos by the battle just now, is not a good place to play detective games. If that dragon fire warlock lurks on the edge of the battlefield and waits for an opportunity, there is still a possibility to see through it. If he just flies away, Barrett will only be able to say, 'Don't waste your efforts'.

After failing to find the fleeing dragon fire warlock in the first place, Barrett stepped forward and completely ended the life of the scale scout who was still struggling on the ground. Then, in the process of turning around and rushing to the noodles. Barrett habitually swung 'Broken Peak', sweeping the heavy weapon over where the dragonfire warlock had just vanished.

Immediately after that, I heard a 'bang--', and the originally empty ground was immediately sprinkled with a bloodstain. Barrett, who found this, stopped and turned around to sweep again, but the dragon fire warlock, whose body was already exposed because of the blood, had already rolled into a ball at this time. Despite the saying that 'the most dangerous place is the safest', Barrett seemed to be on too nerves to stay where he was, after all, no one could be sure that no one would squeeze into that space during the battle.

After dodging Barrett's blade in a moment. The dragon fire warlock, who had survived, immediately fled into the distance. It's a pity that Barrett, who found this big fish, how could he let him run away like this, and the big sniper brother who activated the accelerator boots again strode forward. Immediately after that, the 'broken peak' in his hand was just like that. One of the other party's big legs was unloaded like this. Then the blood mist gushed out was accompanied by a heart-rending roar, and the dragon fire warlock who instinctively twitched from the excruciating pain. Barrett, who couldn't bear to suffer like this again, caught up with him and stabbed him again - ending the life of this troublesome man.

After dealing with his own problem, Barrett found that the situation at Noodle had almost been solved. Arriving in time, Lalu managed to block the dagger with his scorpion scythe before the three pursuing wanderers could kill him. The anvil that came later waved the shield like a city wall.

The three wanderers were pretty good. But in the face of such a combination, it is difficult to make any decent progress for a while. After the energy network on the halfling wanderer's body disappeared, he rejoined the battle and locked the balance of victory and defeat firmly.

The three ladies, Rieli, Claymatis, and Claudia, are always on guard for possible enemy reinforcements. Who asked the players to still not know how many personnel the 'Queen of the Dragon' Church has stationed in 'Jinmailang Town'. To prevent being shot in the back by those guys. Such precautions are also necessary.

Just as the anvil knocked down the last wanderer, and was about to catch a live mouth, the opponent's head tilted and his pupils dilated. Barrett, who hurried here, opened the mouth of the dead man and looked at it: "Did you kill yourself by taking poison?" It seems that these guys deserve credit for their loyalty. Quickly clean up the battlefield and get out of here, and if it drags on for a long time, it's probably not just the 'Queen of the Dragon' church that will be looking for trouble. ”

In any case, this time the battlefield is in the 'Golden Mailang Town'. Don't look at the patrolmen on the side, now the two sides are trembling, shrinking their heads, and they don't dare to raise their heads. But when the mayor of the town, the guard and the like come over, they can bring a lot of trouble to the players under the overwhelming number of people.

If a few of them are infiltrated by the 'Queen of Dragons' church, then the players may have to fight again. Although according to the previous patrolman. The garrison of 'Jinmailang Town' is very weak. However, such a conflict is likely to bring unnecessary notoriety to the 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group. This is quite detrimental to the future development of players.

"I'm coming! I'm good at that. Saying this, the noodle immediately stepped forward to make a move, and looking at his quick movements, he knew that he was probably also taking the opportunity to vent! was chased all the way before, hiding in the east and hiding in the Cruze Kingdom, not to mention, and ate the last meal without the next meal all day long. I don't know how much anger has been depressed in his heart by such an encounter, and now he can enjoy the process of collecting the spoils of war, not to mention the enemy. That originally bad mood. It was also somewhat cathartic.

After completing the search with all the familiar methods, Noodles also glanced at the dilapidated entrance and exit of the town. Then he took out a money bag from his body, opened it and took out a few gold coins from it, and then threw the money bag at the feet of the trembling patrolman on the side: "This is the repair cost." I think it's enough for you to replace the entrance and hire someone to bury the corpses. ”

After saying this, Noodles slapped Barrett's palm, and the latter immediately shouted, "All on the road!" We had to get to Wellington as planned. ”

With this command, the players of 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' immediately walked towards the outside of the town without looking back. Rielly then took out her wand and summoned five Phantom Ponies, and then the group flipped onto their horses and whipped away. Only the two patrolmen were left looking at the money bag in the autumn wind and flames.

The mana foals were almost identical, and their hooves did not make any noise when they touched the ground. It was as if the horses were galloping through the air. Barrett, who was leading the way in front alone, took the time to turn his head and comfort: "Noodle has really worked hard for you this time, but since you are out of danger, let the past pass!" If we find a way to contribute and tasks from the church, I don't believe that our 'Bloodstained Gray Flower' mercenary group will not be able to help you solve this problem. ”

"Look at the church mission! I really don't know what to say about this action. Judging by what happened to us when we first entered the target location, it felt like they knew we were going to be there beforehand. Sitting behind the anvil, Noodle said, holding the saddle with one hand.

"As a 'dragon queen' church that has been hostile to the 'Dragon God of Good' for so many years. Most of their followers have already thought about your prying eyes before they act! If you don't have that kind of preparation, I think you should carefully check that the information you retrieve is not a trap. "Clematis who rode his horse and followed behind. At this time, he put forward such a point with one hand over his mouth.

At this time, Rielly reached out and touched the cat's ears behind her, and put forward another opinion: "I think the noodles said that they knew in advance. I'm afraid it's not just about pre-emptive defense. It's more like having fully grasped their plans and thus laid the trap in advance. ”

The hearts of all the players who heard this became heavy. Even the cat-man warrior monk who was holding Rielly's waist asked at this time, "Do you really think that about noodles?" ”

"This, I'm really not sure about this. Although it seemed to feel that way at the first time of the attack, the next battle and breakout seemed to be different. "Hold on to the saddle to prevent yourself from being thrown out. At this time, his expression was really a little tangled. It's just that the source of this contradiction is not someone else, but his own heart.

Barrett, who had seen many examples, immediately explained: "It is not possible to determine whether the intelligence of the operation has been leaked. Then you better not think about noodles anymore. It will not be easy to walk into a dead end by yourself. ”

Although players like Noodle are unlikely to struggle with this kind of thing as the natives. But no one is sure that there will be no accidents, let alone a guy like Noodle who has a bad record before. Barrett felt that he couldn't afford not to pay attention to it.

"What do you care about now! If there really is some internal problem, won't the internal investigation of the 'Good Dragon God' Church after the failure of this operation? That kind of thing is left to the professionals. Peripheral members like us obediently take tasks and do their work, and no matter how much they think about it, they won't pay you more. Claudia, who fell at the back of the line, rarely said the right thing this time.

"That's right! It's time to think about where to go next. Saying this, Rielly turned her gaze to Barrett in front of her, "How do we leave the Cruze Kingdom and return to Norhan, I think Barrett you should already have a case in mind!" Now, of course, I want to know, where should we go next? ”

"Where do you go next? It can't be Wellington! The road should have a fork in sight tomorrow, one of which is the road to Fort Malcolm. We'll change lanes north there and wait until we get to Fort Malcolm to gather some information. Barrett paused at this point, "Plans made without sufficient intelligence are just paper talk with no real value!" ”

Barrett, both as he entered the town and before he left, mentioned the destination of the road that went straight 'Wellington'. It is to give the residents of 'Golden Wheat Lang' the illusion that the player's destination is 'Wellington'. You must know that from the intelligence point of view, one of the front armies of the Cruze royal family is now recruiting men in Wellington. It was indeed a good place for mercenaries who had travelled south from Saxony to make a living. Infiltrating the army is also a great way to evade the Queen's pursuit.

Who makes the church 'after the dragon' unpopular in most regimes. Even the warring Cruze royal family and the local power are now fighting to the death. However, if traces of the 'Queen of the Dragon' followers are found outside the battlefield, it is difficult to say who the priority target will be.

It was for so many reasons that Barrett was convinced that his misdirection was feasible. It may not be possible to deceive the followers of the 'After the Dragon' church, but at least it will allow them to spend more time and energy. (To be continued.) )

PS: The modification is complete. Thanks to the three big monthly passes of "Hamster Collection", "YF533" and "Go to bed early, get up early, and exercise more". At the same time, I would like to thank the two big rewards of "Altar Fat Biao" and "Only Black in Eyes".
