Chapter 240: The Lord
After taking out the Brotherhood, the team gained a lot of experience, with Ellie and Claire both reaching level 32, while Egger was promoted to level 24, and several new spells were added to his World of Warcraft mage system.
The new magic unlocked by the ice system is the "Protective Frost Enchantment", which can instantly send a defensive enchantment to yourself, which can absorb a large amount of cold damage (relatively) for a total of 30 seconds, so pay attention to the timing of the launch, there is a special effect for ice enemies.
The new magic unlocked by the fire system is "Scorch", which is more similar to the fast-haired fireball technique, and the cast time is short and the damage is relatively small, so the cast is more flexible, suitable for more intense and mobile battles, especially suitable for PK. Its small damage is also relative, and with the support of many fire-based talents, this small fire-based magic shines after all.
And among the new magic unlocked at level 24, the most important is undoubtedly the "spell counter" of the arcane system, which is "silence" in layman's terms, which can counter the opponent's magic and skills, and this "countermeasure" is mainly used to interrupt the opponent's chanting magic, although it can also interrupt the enemy's various sword skills, but the skills used by this kind of warrior are almost instantaneous, and there is no door to silence such instantaneous magic and skills, so it is mainly to deal with those who need to launch the time......
But there's actually another way to use it. "Spell Counter" actually works for a full 8 seconds, which is an exaggeration, but note that the effect is halved against bosses, only 4 seconds. That's pretty good enough, and if you have a hunch that your enemies will be casting a lot of magic in the next few seconds, you can counter them directly. This will ensure that the enemy can completely shut up for the next few seconds. The specific use scenarios will be reflected in future battles, so I won't go into detail here.
……
"Brother Ai, now that the Diafi Brotherhood has basically been wiped out, and even Van Cleef has been killed by us, what should we do next?" When everyone had eased up, Ellie asked about her plans for the future.
"This time, we were lucky enough to kill Van Cleeff and completed the S-class mercenary mission, so naturally we went to Sentinel Ridge to settle the bill with Stallman. At the same time, it is necessary to remind the forces of the Western People's Army and Stormwind City, and let them quickly organize manpower to do it. Encirclement and suppression of the remnants of the Brotherhood. It's also protecting our own safety. Because we have become their mortal enemies to the Diafi Brotherhood, and this time we have destroyed their boss and headquarters, and I don't think the strength of these remnants of the Brotherhood will collapse. It will always be a curse to keep it. ”
"That's right! They are already so insatiable with us. Take advantage of his illness. Kill him! Both women chimed in.
"Then we'll leave later, target Sentinel Ridge."
…… The dividing line of day and night......
Sentinel Ridge is still buzzing, as Stormwind's support grows. The lack of food began to slowly improve, and now not only supplies, but even a small number of warriors who were clearly wearing kingdom equipment could be seen, which showed that Stormwind City attached great importance to the western wilderness, and there were signs of military intervention.
This place is still heavily guarded, but as the "celebrities" of Sentinel Ridge, the dusty Egger and his party of three people made a brief report, and someone took them to the command post of the People's Army to meet their leader Stallman directly. As soon as they met, the leader of the former S-level mercenary group put down what he was doing and greeted him warmly: "Look, who's coming?" Excellency Egger, I hope you will bring us new good news this time. ”
"What? Is there any good news in between? ”
"Hah, that's true. Those old men in Stormwind City finally couldn't help but take action, they have transported a large number of strategic materials and food in the past few days, and they are ready to directly send troops to reinforce us. No, the nearest Xiquan Fortress has sent an infantry wing, I heard that the Stormwind City Knights are also getting ready to go, and they will set off on the road in a few days, just wait for the elite of this batch to arrive, we will immediately blow the horn of counterattack, and I will drive all those thieves into the sea to feed the fish. ”
"In addition, my people have just reported that yesterday the Mine of Death suddenly began to collapse, and quite a few guys from the Diaaf forces escaped, but many more people were crushed to death in the collapsed mine...... If I could crush that cunning Van Cleef inside, I'd be sure to pop champagne to celebrate. Of course, this is just a joke, a man like him can't help him with a landslide. You guys are supposed to be from that place, any news on that? How could a good mine collapse so suddenly? ”
Iger smiled slightly: "Maybe Van Cleef forced the miners to work overtime and didn't pay overtime wages, and people are resentful, maybe it's a shovel by the way?" ”
"Haha, no kidding, did you do this job?" Stallman suddenly stiffened.
"That's right! Our Warcraft mercenary group infiltrated the inside of the mine and found that there were seven giant ships they were building, the largest of which was at least twice the tonnage of the current flagship of the Stormwind fleet, the Storm......"
"Oh, God! If they do succeed...... Tell me if you detonated these ships. The leader of the Western Wilderness asked anxiously, and his staff officers also gathered around, this news is really amazing, although it has been expected in advance, but after hearing the exact first-hand information, everyone can not be calm, how can they have the heart to work?
"It wasn't us who detonated the ship, it was Van Cleef who lit the fuse with his own hands." Iger deliberately sold the pass, and he used the current conversation as a bargaining chip to prevent the other party from refusing to honor his previous promises.
"Liars ......"
"Impossible!"
"You're fooling us!"
"He played us like monkeys!"
"Van Cleef is bad, but he's not stupid!"
Suddenly, the command post was like an explosion, everyone was talking, some people directly scolded Egger, and some people rolled up their sleeves and jumped to their feet, if it wasn't for the boss here, he would have been beaten up a long time ago......
"Knock...... Knock ......"
Wrapped in a white cloth, round and bloodstained, Egger tossed it on a table full of battle maps, rolled lightly, and then stopped in the center of the map......
Stallman hesitated and asked, "What is this?" ”
"There are some things, no matter how you explain them, no one will believe them, so I'll just let you take care of them yourself." Iger put away his previous smile and said coldly with a poker face, and then he didn't explain again.
"Is it ......?"
"Won't it?"
There was a slight chatter from the crowd, they may have had a premonition of what this thing was, but ...... As Iger said, no one wants to believe until they see the real thing.
Stallman felt as if his breathing had stopped, and he tried to calm his mood as he solemnly and solemnly reached out to the bloodstained ordinary cloth bag...... Perhaps, what is inside is not ordinary.
Carefully unfolding the white linen bag, as if in a haste, he saw a patch of black hair. Without a pause, he quickly pulled the covering, and finally, the head of a human man was displayed in front of him......
"Once, I longed for him so much!" Stallman's voice, not so calm and powerful, suddenly seemed to be ten years old.
"He is my lifelong opponent, a survivable man I can't surpass, and a man I've always wanted to fight. I didn't expect you to really die like this, the world makes people! ”
"Your Excellency Egger, please tell me solemnly, is he powerful?" He stared at the young man in front of him, and there was silence around him, and many people's jaws had already left their jaws when the head appeared.
"If it weren't for our luck, the heads of several of us would have been on their table right now!" Egger met his eyes seriously, not backing down: "But, we survived in the end. He still swept us together at the last moment, lighting the pre-installed fuse as we dodged his last "knife fan". Even in the end, we could only be forced to flee for our lives by him. ”
"Good! Good! It is worthy of being the opponent of my Stallman in his life, even if he dies, so many people will come to the funeral, the true character of a hero! The western boss laughed.
"Commander, is this really Van Cleve's head?" A close staff officer asked softly.
"That's right! It's true, I may admit that others are wrong, but this guy who has fought with me all my life, I can't admit mistakes, and it is indeed the leader of the Brotherhood, Van Cleef, on the table. Stallman affirmed.
"That ......"
"Don't say so much, Lord Egger, may I ask how you took off Van Cleef's head from within the Diafi Brotherhood, as if there was no one in the world? At the same time, this guy is not weak, even if he picks the three of you head-on, I am willing to bet on Van Cleef to win with all my family property. ”
Iger still has the same poker face: "The mercenary group does the task, and the focus is on the result, as for the specific process, I'm sorry, it's a trade secret, and it can't be disclosed!" ”
"I'm sorry we made it difficult for you. Since it's the trade secret of the Warcraft mercenary group, it's inconvenient to say, so we won't ask. Stallman bowed slightly and apologized to the three young men and women.
"I said, now that you have identified the right master, shouldn't you redeem our reward first? S-class mercenary mission, I remember that the rewards are quite rich. You're not going to pay off, are you? Then I'll send this head to Stormwind, I'm sure they'll be willing to pay a good price. The little mage began to ask for benefits in displeasure.
A bunch of people in the command post glared angrily! (To be continued......)
