Chapter 70: Team up props
The King picked up Gambol on his back and began the retreat of the assassination plan, while Corvo was still shooting the remaining Iron Overseers, which would buy him a lot of time, and he quickened his pace and ran in the opposite direction from the High Admiral's residence.
Gambol has been made crazy by a series of accidents, and the thick red stripe is now only carrying less than 100 points of blood, sometimes sobbing and cursing on Lao Wang's back, and sometimes passing out by bumps, after all, Lao Wang's back is not business class, not to mention that this is still in the process of running and escaping.
Corvo, who was in charge of breaking off the old king, drove the tall guards to guard the middle of the street, and the four Gatling tongues of fire spewed out, knocking down the Iron Mask Overseers in pieces, which could not be blamed for the uselessness of the Iron Mask Overseers, their main function was to serve as bodyguards or security forces in the imperial capital.
The design concept of the war mecha of the tall guard is the top armament of the empire applied to large-scale battles, and the imaginary combat environment in peacetime, either attacking or garrisoning, is basically on the frontal battlefield, to be honest, there are less than 100 iron-faced overseers in front of him, and in the absence of effective heavy weapons, it is really not enough for Corvo to fight.
The chain of the Gatling gun was empty, and Corvo looked at the other side, the Iron Overseers were already scattered, and even the formation was about to be broken up, and the former Protector controlled the tall guards to rush a few steps towards the last few Iron Overseers, activating the self-detonation device, and the others repeated the same trick, using the flashing skill to return to the ground from the driver's seat of the tall guard, and quickly followed the back of the old king.
At the end of this rather unquiet night in Dunwall, the self-destruction of the Tall Guards brought about one of the strongest explosions, and on this occasion, Corvo, the source of the unrest, and the old king with Gambol on his back have completely disappeared from the eyes of the law enforcers.
Probably due to the unknown whereabouts of Gambol and the heavy casualties of the elite Iron Overseer troops, the evacuation of King and Corvo went more smoothly than the infiltration of them, and after meeting a thin figure in the alley where they had been hiding, they immediately turned north, and soon entered the secret drink passage that infiltrated Dunwall.
Who is the skinny figure? It's an easy question to answer, just look back at the back garden of Gambor's mansion.
The one-armed boy who rushed out to throw the bomb just now was wounded several times, and he should have been lying on the cold ground as a corpse, but now, except for a flock of strange crows, he couldn't even see the shadow of a corpse in the place where he fell, but in this chaos, where did anyone pay attention.
That's right, Takenaka is not dead, how could a treacherous little ghost like him put his life into it because it was not difficult to assassinate, but the little guy can be regarded as having some capital.
Takenaka and Mrs. Rag's interaction points were originally not used for other purposes, and they were going to wait until the end of the trial world to make unified purchases, but after careful consideration, the little guy still took out a full 70 interaction points and exchanged them for a one-time magic scroll at Mrs. Rag as a means of mobile response.
The sudden appearance of Kuroda last time made Takenaka realize that he was still too dependent on careful planning, coupled with his conceit, which led to the plan often being inflexible, in fact, Lao Wang also said that he had this problem, but this kind of thing decided by character is so simple to change it, this unplanned preparation is an attempt made by Takenaka.
Lady Rag's dark magic scrolls are varied, and Takenaka has chosen the type with high utility.
"Raven stand-in scroll: consumable props, consumption times: 1 time, the prop is a black magic scroll, sealing the low-level version of Mrs. Rag's black magic - crow stand-in, which requires the user's mental attributes to reach 12 points, because of the use of black magic, in addition to the necessary conditions of use, you must also pay half of your life as a sacrifice price, and then use the crow as a medium to successfully activate the magic.
After successfully using the scroll, you can summon your own avatar with the crow as a carrier, and gain control for 30 seconds, the avatar is a copy of the main body, which has all the attributes of the main body, but can only perform basic action operations, and cannot use the skills of the main body.
Note that after using this item, the user will be in a weakened recovery state for 15 minutes due to the Dark Magic Retaliation, and the user's non-combat recovery speed will be reduced to 20% of the normal state.
Description: Madame Rag has a lot of weird gadgets, and this scroll isn't the weirdest, but it's not the most common either. ”
As it turned out, Takenaka's small change worked wonders, as the appearance of the Tall Guard disrupted the original plan, but combined with Corvo's skills, Takenaka made the change as quickly as possible.
The revised plan no longer requires three people to sneak into the tunnel to assassinate Gambor, simply put, the old king goes out to fight the tall guards to attract attention first, Takenaka uses the first three steps to expand the chaos, and after hiding it, find the right opportunity to release the crow stand-in, control the stand-in to rush into the courtyard, use the throwing explosives to force Gambol to drive away, and wait for the car to halfway through, Corvo flashes and kills the tall guard driver, obtains the right to break the armored car shell with heavy weapons, and then the old king who was liberated from the grappling launches a second bomb attack, and finally takes advantage of the chaos to rob Gambor, as long as you enter the secret passage, the plan is successful, but the whale oil privateer who went to carry out the bait plan, you can only live and die, and you will be rich and prosperous in the sky.
However, this loss is completely bearable compared to the imminent harvest they will receive, and then again, the whale oil privateers are someone else's royalist team, and they don't need to pay for it.
The plan worked!
The two of them and Corvo directly took the stick Gambol back to Mrs. Lag's residence in the wine district, according to Takenaka's inference, Gambol's abduction will inevitably lead to the Regent's faction being all soldiers, don't look at the current movement, that is because the main Gambol was robbed, and the remaining iron-faced overseers did not have a unified opinion, so the efficiency was low and the decrees were inconsistent.
When the Lord Regent returns tomorrow and these forces are regrouped, the real manhunt will begin, and even the wine-making area will be affected, so they can't rest after the vicious fight just now, and there are more important things to do.
Gambol was tied to a sturdy chair, and Lao Wang and Zhuzhong were still carefully covered with black silk on their faces, sitting opposite him, watching the former Supreme Overseer describe the withered tree, and the whole person had lost his luster in just a few hours.
"Who the hell are you, and why are you kidnapping me?" Gambol asked the two, the wounds on his body had been treated in an urgent and crude manner, and it was not a problem to keep the little bit of blood on his body for a short time, and after a few tosses, now that he was finally seated, Gambol also knew that the enemy had returned to their lair, and now it was time to start questioning himself.
"None of this matters, dear High Overseer, we are just loyal subjects of the Empire, there are small things that need your help, you know, you are busy, so we have arranged this meeting, we can have a nice chat, once we get what we want, you are a free man. "Needless to say, when encountering this kind of occasion, it is better to go up to Takenaka to take the tone.
"Meet, do you call this a meeting?" Gambor's words were full of sarcasm, and by this time he had completely sobered up, and the wisdom that had originally belonged to the High Overseer began to come online and play its due role.
The abduction of the High Overseer from Dunwall and the killing of the High Overseer in Dunwall are two completely different things in terms of nature and difficulty, since the other party is willing to spend effort to hijack himself, that is to say, he has no intention of killing himself, Gambol no longer has just gone through the suicide attempt, and now the belief in survival is even greater, and he continued: "What kind of help do you want to get?"
"No, no, No, Lord Overseer, what kind of help do we want?" replied Takenaka, trying to be insatiable in the conversation, combined with hiding his own physical features, was a way to stabilize Gambor's mind.
It is well known that kidnappers have a high probability of killing their victims when they show their faces, and similarly, showing a need will also make Gmbor more convinced that their ultimate goal is not their own life.
Gambol said quietly: "Some help, you can tell me, if you are too greedy, it will be difficult for me to agree to the two of you." ”
"Our request is absolutely reasonable and will not embarrass you. Takenaka said: "You are the Supreme Overseer of the Empire, and there are many warlike troops under your command, among them, the name of the Iron Overseer is the most resounding, and what we need is the unique Iron Overseer Training Manual in your hands." ”
Gambol was at a loss, he was still thinking about how to make peace with the conditions proposed by the enemy, retain his own value, and at the same time not provoke the other party, so that the other party would not kill him, but he never thought that the other party would go to great lengths to hijack him, and what he wanted to ask was how to train the army, which was as ridiculous as someone kidnapping a rich man and asking how to buy stocks and invest in futures without asking for ransom.
Nonsense, but Takenaka must have a purpose in asking this, and this purpose is the key to the team props that Miles sold them in the random space - in the same trial world, find two interactive characters with command team experience, and obtain their command skills, and after combining, you can get team props.
Countless question marks appeared in Gambor's head, and he secretly thought to himself: Strange guy, what's the use of this thing? The training and command of the Iron Mask Overseer did not mature overnight, even if you trained according to my method, you lacked too many things, the source of troops, equipment, a complete system of junior officers, and actual combat experience, could this be summarized in a booklet? Listening to their tone, there must be requirements, as long as we sell the key requirements, and we are not afraid that they will kill people after taking something, the manual can be given!
"I agree, this booklet is actually more like my hand-in-hand notebook for the army, in my metal arm, pull the switch on the elbow joint, and you can see it in the dark compartment. Gambol readily agreed.
His metal arm has been densely wrapped with special steel wires, and he is now seriously injured, and he is not afraid of his sudden attack, but there is no big mistake in being careful, and the bloody old king leaned over, operated according to what Gambol said, and sure enough, he obtained the training manual in the dark grid.
"Thank you, Lord Overseer, for the second thing. Takenaka saluted Gambol and said, "We need you to provide you with the location of the secret room and the code for the door lock." ”
"The secret room is in my mansion, and I tell you that you can't enter it either. Gambol was even more puzzled, what are these people going to do, don't they know that the current Dunwall City has been fried, is it for the sake of the wealth in the secret room, do they have to risk going back?
"Don't worry about that, do you believe someone can take you from Dunwall before we meet you?" said Takenaka lazily, a little impatient.
Gambol couldn't think of any flaws for a while, there was nothing in his secret room that had to be paid special attention to, that is, some works of art and rare treasures that he had looted, even if these guys really had the ability to empty out, there was no loss of nerves and bones, if the fate was, these things were, and besides, ordinary people always left the most bargaining conditions behind and said, it doesn't hurt to agree to this first.
So, he nodded and said, "Okay, the location of the secret room is behind the Overseer's statue in the basement, the statue is the door, it's not so much a password as a way to open it, just twist the ring on the middle finger of the Overseer's left hand." ”
"Thank you again for your cooperation. Takenaka said: "The last thing is actually the simplest, the brother who acted with us just now, wants to talk to you alone, you just need to give face." After Takenaka finished speaking, whether Gambol understood it or not, he got up and opened the door to the room, where Corvo stood waiting for a long time, but now, the former protector did not have that terrifying skeletal mask on his face.
Gambor's mental activities are all expected, so Takenaka will skillfully arrange the most critical questions to ask in front.
And the purpose of Corbo's non-participation in the conversation is also to strengthen Gambor's belief that "he can survive", and Corvo must not show his face until he gets all the information, otherwise Gambol will only ask for a quick death and say nothing.
In fact, what Lao Wang and Takenaka want is the training manual and Gambor's death, the second so-called secret room, which was originally used as a cover to deceive Corvo's trust, but because he was listening outside the door, he could only mention it in passing, which is why Takenaka would be so careless when he made the second request.
"Captain, this thug is yours. Lao Wang walked out of the door and said to the silent Corvo, the former protector was pale, nodded slowly, seemed to be very forced, and then walked towards Gambol in the house step by step, seeing the mastermind behind the murder of his wife and kidnapping his daughter, no one can expect a normal father and husband to have any good temper.
Lao Wang closed the door behind him, and Gambol inside screamed so loudly that people's heads hurt, and then leaned against the wall with Takenaka, waiting.
After a while, the two men and son, who were leaning against the wall, looked up at each other and smiled, and the information of their space came at the same time.
"Selector No. 95270 Wang Mancang, you helped Corvo defeat the High Overseer Gambor, fixed task c, process advancement, please continue to lobby the Royal Chancellor, and get 20% of them to support them to convince Corvo that he is innocent. ”
Before he could finish speaking, the door next to them opened, and Corvo stepped out, his pale face covered with blood, but his expression was unusually cheerful, and in his hand he carried a broken metal arm.
