Chapter 90: The Battle Begins
The sharp blade sliced through the rapidly growing vines, easily unshackling the strong man's legs. The other party is also an experienced adventurer, and he took this opportunity to immediately carry John on his back. Pyrosh swooped out. And the newborn rattans behind him were now meandering and chasing after him like swimming snakes.
But before they could climb a few steps forward, they were cut off by Barrett's turnaround and slash. Taking advantage of this, the strong man finally managed to escape from the reach of these vines. After rescuing the main target this time, Barrett's heart was also relieved. But at this moment, a wooden javelin that appeared out of thin air was already silently approaching him.
Look at John. Barrett, who had escaped from Perlosh, felt a tingling in the back of his head as if he had been pricked by a needle. Sensing the danger, he turned again, and the speeding shoelaces that swept across the ground sent a sparkling snowflake. The Mo knife, which rotated like a propeller, was like a closed iron gate, and it stopped the wooden javelin in an instant.
A "sonorous" collision sounded. Barrett, who felt the power on his wrist, looked at the wooden javelin that had been misrouted and dissipated into the air. He immediately turned his head to look for enemies that might be lurking nearby, and in the meantime he didn't forget to explore the air in the direction where the javelin was flying.
Because he had discovered that it was the wooden thorn bundle of the druids that had just attacked him. This thing is known as the druid version of the scorching ray, and compared to the original hot ray, it has its own merits. It ignores spell resistance while being affected by damage reduction (when dealing with reductions, attacks are considered magic weapons and piercing weapons) - both are good at dealing with different enemies. And the likelihood of hitting fatal damage is also higher. That's why druids often use highly sensitive animal forms in conjunction with things like the Legendary Eagle.
However, neither of these spells has a good range. So if you have a user, you must be somewhere nearby. Therefore, Barrett's guy is naturally on the lookout for the guy who plots against him. However, at a cursory glance, Barrett did not find any suspicious targets, and here he muttered in his heart: 'Stealth? And it's also a high-level stealth that is not visible after attacking. What a troublesome opponent! β
Since he couldn't find the mastermind behind it for a while, Barrett could only rush to the nearest aboriginal adventurer in need of help while raising his vigilance. And in the vicinity of the 'yurt'. Rielly, who discovered Barrett's predicament, also had a spell ready to be triggered at this moment - once the guy who was hiding his head and tail and didn't dare to see anyone made any more moves, the glitter dust she prepared would definitely make the other party look like it, and the guy would reveal his prototype.
And the druid, who had put the cold gun before, seemed to feel the deterrence from the camp at this moment. He didn't do anything more until the dancing vines withered and disappeared. This frustrated Rieli's preparations. However, Barrett managed to rescue John. Those of Pylosh's teammates.
Barrett, who had completed the rescue work, did not stop any longer. Immediately retreated to the camp. He knew that since those guys dared to cause an avalanche, they naturally had a whole consideration. Perhaps in addition to the druid at the front, who pursued and explored the way, the enemy's large force was already not far behind.
Although Barrett is quite confident in his skills, he is not arrogant that he has the strength to kill seven in and seven out in the chaos. Therefore, in the face of the possible pressure of the soldiers, he decisively chose to stand with his companions and use the strength of the collective to fight against another collective.
When Barrett entered the camp with the last two wounded fugitives, the prepared priest greeted him. And John. Mr. Pyrosh had also completed his treatment at this moment, and he wanted to rely on his own strength to get back on his feet, but he was stopped by the priest on the side: "Wait first! You've just healed your wounds. It's best to wait a while for your body to get used to it. β
"Don't worry! My bloodline and special abilities allow me to gain extra buffs in positive energy healing spells, and this small injury is no longer a big deal. "John, who said this. As he stood up, Pyrosh reached out and patted his body to show that there was no problem.
And Barrett, who saw that the other party was fine, immediately asked: "Mr. Pyros, what did you encounter before?" Those guys who were entangled with us on the front line, waiting for their reinforcements? β
"Ugh! It should be reinforcements! "John. Pyrosh wasn't quite sure about it. He immediately added two sentences: "Today there are many methods that have not been used in the past few battles. And you've been back and forth with me for so long before, and we have some impressions of each other. But among those guys just now, there are really a lot of new faces. β
"Looks like we're going to have a tough fight this time." Barrett's palm tightened as he spoke. And John, who was done with business. Pylosh. Immediately stepped forward and gave Barrett a big hug: "Thank you really just now." If it weren't for you, my teammates and I would have been left in the clearing outside the woods. β
Barrett, who heard this, shook his head: "Even if I don't go up to help." There will be others who will answer you. β
"Really? You're the one who just rushed up! Even your teammates are only far behind to help. "Speaking of John. Pyrosh paused, "If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would be more cautious!" I'm not a fledgling little hairy man, and I've been adventuring on the mainland for a few days. In that case, the vast majority of people choose to die and not save themselves, and it can be said that there are very few people like you who take the initiative to put themselves in danger! β
John. Mr. Pyrox agrees with Barrett, who agrees, after all, that the fear of death is the instinct of all living beings. But if you agree with this point of view at this time. However, it may affect the mood of nearby adventurers. Many times intelligent beings are like this - they do it themselves, but others can't say it, and take double standards for granted.
It doesn't matter if it's normal. However, at the moment, it seems that a major war is imminent, and any change that may affect the outcome of the battle needs to be dealt with carefully. But Barrett couldn't just dismiss John. Mr. Pallosh's statement. He had to laugh dryly and say, "Someone will always make a move!" You just mentioned that among the enemies1 there are a lot of new methods? Now that they haven't launched an offensive yet, can you tell us about it? β
"You should have seen the invisible druid before." Speaking of which John . Mr. Pyros smiled a little sheepishly. "Of course, if I hadn't been hit hard by the other party's attack in the first place. There are many ways to make it visible. It's a pity that the elusive wanderer on the other side almost shocked me with a single knife. β
"Very powerful loiter! This is something to be aware of. Then when you are fighting, you must protect the casters in your team. "Priest Weldon was also at the forefront of a battle that could break out at any moment.
Priest Weldon also came. Barrett, who saw that the person who came, was not affected much, and then continued to ask: "Except for these two!" There are a lot of means, it should be more than this, right? β
"You'd better ask my teammates for the rest." Speaking of this John . Mr. Pyrosh looked embarrassed, "After the heavy blows. My whole body became a little confused. So a lot of things don't feel real. β
"I'm sorry! I do not know. Barrett said apologetically. Of course, this big sniper brother also looks at the dishes and cooks, if it weren't for John. If Mr. Pyros had made a good impression on himself, he would not have said sorry at this time.
At this moment, there was also movement outside the camp, and soon a black crowd emerged from the woods. Realizing that the situation was not right, Rieli immediately walked to Barrett's side and patted him on the shoulder, and then pointed to the enemies in the distance who were organizing a formation.
After giving the two Aborigines present an apologetic gesture, Barrett immediately rushed to his companions' side. He looked at the crowded enemy camp and frowned: "A lot of players! I didn't expect so many players to participate in this action! But why are they all on the signs? Is it in time for ease of identification? β
"Speaking of such a big action, why is there no news on the forum!" Claymatis. Bot frowned at this time. You must know that the group of players is one of the most secretive groups in the game. This is a hobby for many people. It is to share your gaming experience with other players on the real-life forum.
If it's one or two, the news may still be silent. But the players in front of him who are densely packed in the enemy camp are almost nearly a hundred people. With such a huge number of people, there is obviously something wrong with not revealing the news at all.
At this time, Barrett seemed to see the anvil's slightly thoughtful expression, and then asked: "You seem to know what the anvil!" Is there something special about those guys? β
"I'm not so sure! However, I heard rumors when I was underground, and some violent gangs have been organized into the game to dig for money. The anvil paused slightly, "I think their organization is already better than that of the casual players!" It is also possible to do a good job of secrecy. β
"What is an organized crime? Underground? Like gangsters from the old days? "Claudia. Auditore asked with a little interest.
Anvil scratched his head: "What is a gangster?" β
"Gangsters refer to criminal gangs that operate in the shadows of society. Of course, it seems that it will work to call it the underworld. Those guys are for the purpose of obtaining illegal benefits. It is a collection of underground organized criminal gangs that are contrary to the law and order. Those guys often use improper and malicious means to commit crimes on their own, gather crowds to commit crimes, or induce others to commit crimes and other illegal ways to obtain benefits. "Claudia. Auditore immediately gave the standard answer as if it were an endorsement. "Of course, that kind of organization on the surface has long been dead, but I don't know if your underground violent gangs are like this."
According to this statement, it seems that there is not much difference. But when it comes to behavior, although they break the law, they don't really violate the line of crime. So even if you are caught by law enforcement officers, you are often released within a few days. But then Anvil's expression immediately became gloomy, "But even so. Those who are harassed by them are just as miserable. β
"I thought it was something! Aren't those just gangsters? "Claudia. "But according to the record, those thugs are not always disorganized and undisciplined, can they really keep secrets?" β
"Claudia, your perception is stuck in the materials of the old days. Now the situation has changed. Naturally, those materials can only be used as a reference. Barrett said, looking at the anvil, "Thankfully, we haven't been in the habit of turning on player logos. After the anvil is offline, you must keep it a secret. Otherwise, you may be harassed by them. Anyway, just wait until you get back to the surface. They're not a threat. β
"I get that!" Anvil nodded, and at the same time hid his old face behind the shield. As if he was worried about being seen by the other party, what could a dwarf with such a big change in image see from a face?
As he spoke, the enemies who had completed the formation also charged. As the charge resounded on the field, a rough and heroic song sounded. Accompanied by the song, the charging enemies went berserk one by one, and at the same time showed many characteristics that should have belonged to animals.
"This ability seems to be a singer! Or an uncommon totem singer. Barrett, who noticed the change, immediately had the answer in his mind.
The so-called singer is not only a poet, a historian and a master of the knowledge of the nations, but also a warrior on the battlefield. When battle breaks out, they are warriors who are fearless in the face of the Iron Horse of Kingo, using their powerful singing voices to inspire their allies and lure them into an invincible rage.
As they wandered through the civilized world, they were chroniclers of history, recording in psalms the stories of great battles and wise kings. In addition to the epic poems recited by a singer are often allegories full of content and admonitions, these wise men also possess the mystical knowledge of wielding the mystical magic of the worldβthey are very similar to the bards, but they are more rugged than the delicate works of art.
And in this group, there are singers who are guided by the totems of animal spirits. They chant with their mysterious masters, shapeshift, gallop. In addition to this, those Totem Singers can also request their guardian spirits to share the power given to him alone with all the allies who fight with the Singer. (To be continued.) )
