Chapter 53: Division of Forces and Pursuit
All eyes fell on the third team, this team plus the temporary team with only two people left, there were eleven people in total, one more than them, and their choice was directly related to victory or defeat.
The two temporary captains of that team had already made their choice, and walked towards the side of the god of courage, and when they saw that the black robe was obviously in a hurry, they said loudly:
"Add 20% to the bounty!"
On their light screen, the rewards for the main quest of the God of Brutality branch jumped from 4,000 to 5,000 points at once.
As soon as the words fell, the eleven people immediately paused, and there was a trace of hesitation on their faces.
Five thousand points is too tempting, not only are they hesitating, but even the two teams that have already made their choice are a little hesitant, after all, there are two thousand points more, this amount is too big, and they have the idea of regretting it.
The temporary captain of the eleven team was nicknamed Huang Shigong, and he suddenly asked Gangdun and Li Bin:
"Do you want to change sides and get two thousand more points!"
Steel Shield shook his head and said directly:
"The main quest was almost cheated on just now, can you expect a cult of evil gods to honor the agreement?"
Looking at Li Bin again, the expression on his face was similar, and he shook his head directly.
"Don't you really think about it? You can't guarantee that the Church of Courage will honor its promises. ”
Huang Shigong frowned.
Li Bin smiled:
"At the very least, the Church of Courage has a much better chance of keeping its promises."
"That's what it is,"
Huang Shigong showed a trace of regret on his face:
"It's a shame."
Lei Hai took a step back, clenched the bow in his left hand, and drew an arrow from his back with his right hand, slowly placing it on the bow.
"Then choose the god of courage, too!"
The sudden turn made him uh, and he looked up to see Huang Shi Cheng smiling with a wink, waving his hand and leading his teammates towards the God of Courage.
Not only was he surprised, but the other contractors, even the Church of the God of Courage and the Church of the God of Brutality, were stunned for a moment, and Huang Shigong thought that he was choosing the side of the Church of Brutality, but the sudden turn flashed everyone's waists.
In fact, it's normal to think about it, everyone has come all the way to the present, and at the same time they have fought and died, and there are no major grievances, and they are not psychotic, how can they kill each other because of a little profit.
Normal people's thinking is that everyone unites to complete a task, and will not turn their faces like those mentally retarded villains in the novel because of a little profit.
In many novels or movies that Lei Hai has read, his teammates who have cooperated for N years all the way turn their faces and kill each other because of a little profit, and he wants to vomit about this situation, either the character is brain-dead or the author is brain-dead.
When a normal person encounters this situation, unless the interests are too large, the general interest gap will never make people turn against their teammates.
It's very simple, turning your face with your teammates, you may not be able to win, the risk is definitely greater than cooperating with your teammates to complete a task, there is only one life, and if you can't kill it, you will be killed by the end, and most people will not be willing to take such a big risk.
Besides, the reputation of a traitor is very bad, and few people are willing to bear this reputation.
As Huang Shigong made his choice, the leader of the team of the Brutal Church, the black-robed priest, immediately waved his hand:
"Withdraw!"
The crystal ball in his hand was held up, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on it, and a piece of blood flew out of the crystal ball, spreading out in an instant, and the surroundings instantly turned into a sea of blood, and his eyes couldn't see anything even a meter away.
Lei Hai didn't dare to act rashly, and immediately squatted down and protected him with a sword.
In less than two seconds, a low chant was heard, and then a clear light swept in front of him, and the blood light swept away, and at a glance, he saw that those black-robed and black-armored warriors had run more than a hundred meters away, and completely dispersed, and a total of nine black-robed and black-armored warriors fled in nine directions.
All the contractors who had just chased after him for more than ten seconds were stunned for a moment, and then turned their heads to look at the three pastors of the Church of Courage.
The three priests hesitated for less than a second, and the priest leader immediately ordered:
"Priest Macallan, you take three knights to chase the left, I chase the right, the other knights chase a brutal warrior in pairs, and the rest are pursued by the adventurers."
He looked at the contractor and said solemnly:
"None of them can be let go, and their heads will be brought back."
"Rest assured, as long as the bounty is enough, all the heads will be returned."
As soon as the words fell, the three priests and the remaining dozen or so Templar knights scattered and chased in six directions, leaving three black-armored warriors, who happened to be pursued by three teams of contractors, and the three temporary captains got together to discuss how to distribute the targets of pursuit.
The three black-armored warriors were all injured, but the injuries were very different, the most seriously injured waist and abdomen was cut a huge wound, and the blood kept flowing, and the worst was only a finger-sized wound on the leg, which only affected the running speed, and the impact on combat effectiveness was not very great.
Lei Hai quietly stepped forward and whispered:
"We can go after the fastest one, I have a mount and I can take the captain to intercept him."
Steel Shield looked at him in surprise and didn't say anything.
Li Bin and Huang Shigong nodded in agreement without an opinion, he immediately summoned a velociraptor and climbed up and beckoned to the steel shield:
"Come up."
Steel Shield looked at Lei Hai with deep meaning, and paused for almost a second before climbing up.
As soon as he pulled the reins, the velociraptor jumped several meters away and rushed out, and the sound of a steel shield was heard in the distance:
"Let's go and intercept the severed hand, silent, ordinary you two to follow."
The sturdy black armor on the black-armored samurai they were chasing had been shattered, half of his upper body was shattered, and one arm was deaf and pulled by the bones inside, and his injuries were the second highest among the three black-armored samurai, but he ran the fastest, faster than all the contractors, which was the main reason why he asked to chase the other two teams.
Of course, Lei Hai made this choice not because he had a mount, but mainly because he knew that the mysterious box was on this black-armored warrior.
Yes, it may be that the black-robed priest stuffed the box on this brutal warrior when the blood light shrouded him just now, probably trying to escape with the help of his fastest speed, and at the same time, he was just a wounded brutal warrior, who would never be noticed by the Church of Courage, and ran faster than all adventurers, so he had the greatest chance of escaping.
It's a pity that they didn't expect that Lei Hai could sense the mysterious box through that mask, to be precise, he could sense the aura emitted by the unknown transcendent power in the box, so he would know the intention of the Brutal Church, and let Steel Shield choose this target, otherwise how would he take the initiative to chase the most difficult one.
The people of the Brutal Church probably didn't expect them to have a velociraptor as a mount, so much so that when the tall raptor nimbly ran through the mountains, the two black-robed Cruel God priests were stunned at the same time.
