Chapter 19: The Robin's Performance (Part II)
The moment the assassin under the eaves was in a mood swing, the gunman with the Stars and Stripes turban moved his ears. He pretended to be unaware and continued to pass by with a guarded posture. As he continued on his way, turning his back to the Assassin, "Turban" took his hand into his arms.
In order to reduce the possibility of being detected by the assassin in advance, he did not poke his left hand out from under his right ribs, but shot through the leather jacket, "bang" twice, two bullets successively hit the assassin's feet through the small hole that the leather jacket was pierced, but the splashed gravel was easily dodged by the assassin, if not, he was pulled into a combat state by the "turban" and lost the initiative, but before he could be proud, a faint smoke rose from under his feet, and two drops of old vinegar seemed to be directly dripped into his nose, and an unbearable sourness suddenly rushed straight to his brain, Tears burst out of his eyes in defiance of his master's own will—
Covering with a single bullet shattering masonry, the other bullet of the "Turban" is a simple and small version of tear gas modified for pistols! Dodging this tear gas canister, which had only a minimal impact, was an easy task, but now the Assassins were caught in the net to avoid being splashed by the rubble!
……
The dark dagger stabbed at the throat of the "Scarface" man, and the assassin's eyes flashed with a vicious gaze and rubbed his body. This attack was indeed a bit risky, but after several rounds of back and forth with "Scarface", he felt that he already had enough understanding of the weapons that did not play cards according to common sense - no matter how tricky weapons were, in the final analysis, they were still in the hands of "people", and people's combat habits were traceable!
The piercing sound of "dang woo" sounded, the iron chain stopped the black dagger, and the meteor hammer really changed direction abruptly because of the entanglement of the chain and the dagger, and it was indeed avoided by the assassin who had been prepared for a long time, followed by the force of "Scarface", intending to disarm! The assassin took the initiative to let go, and the small dagger held in the other hand stabbed out with his backhand, silently stabbing into Scarface's lower abdomen!
Blood splattered, but the assassin's ears were followed by the piercing sound of metal rubbing before falling, and then there was a black in front of his eyes - "Scarface" originally thought that the enemy was going to slip away again after injuring the assassin, and he didn't accept the trick but didn't want to give up and did his best, but at this moment, he unexpectedly threw his weapon and did not retreat, but advanced, and only smashed the enemy's left and right temples with a pair of fists with a double wind and ears, and at the same time, with a cruel laugh, a head hammer hit the assassin's head with a "bang"!
……
A similar situation occurs all over the city ruins. All of a sudden, the smoke of gunfire was everywhere, and the sound of fighting was heard in several places at the same time. At first, they didn't notice anything wrong, but after the fighting, the contractors' ability to observe them soon noticed the change. Originally, because of the Syndicate Assassins' ability to hide and hide, they needed to concentrate on a very careful search to find the feet of these guys, and the Assassins only sought results in battle, not victory, and once they fell into defeat, most of them fled frequently. As a result, occasional battles often begin and end quickly. But now it seems that the battles in the ruins have become more frequent and protracted than before. It's not a big deal to find yourself either searching or grappling with others, but it's important to pay attention to this situation when it happens to everyone at the same time.
As soon as this was discovered, although the more than a dozen contractors who came to the mission were scattered in the ruins of the city because they were in charge of different areas, as long as they raised their voices, the contractors adjacent to the defense zone would not be able to hear each other clearly (otherwise, if the gap was large enough for the syndicate to go shopping in the middle, it would be meaningless for Tabesa to let them separate and clear it), and soon someone exclaimed:
"Woooh, I cut one down! This bastard was obviously more slippery than a loach the first two times, so don't run away too fast! ”
"What, you reckless boar has also been killed? But I always felt like I had taken a sentient potion, and I spotted an assassin before I could get close, but unfortunately I wasn't prepared for it, and I alerted the bastard to slip away for him. ”
“Shit! Shut up, you two pieces of shit!! Don't you have a brain?! ”
"Ahh......h
"I've set up this temporary channel for you to communicate so you don't have to worry about being heard by the Syndicate Assassins. I said guys, I think you've already confirmed that it's better to join forces, anyway, there are too many goals here to kill, and we don't really have a conflict of interest! However, my opponent was also bombarded by me, and a grenade was still under fire, and he wanted to come up and knock me over instead of slipping away, haha, so cool! "—This is a local tyrant with deep pockets.
"Awesome, what the hell is going on, my sniper rifle can now be remotely locked onto lurking enemies! It's fucking difficult, and I guess I can only succeed two or three times out of ten, but I couldn't even see a ghost in the scope before?! "—This is a long-range attack professional who can only be escorted behind the butt of a kitchen knife in temporary cooperation.
"Thank you, friend, for opening the channel, and I very much agree that we should work together. But who knows what is causing the current situation? How can I get this kind of help? In other words, he's not in a fighting state at the moment, and he hasn't been able to get a big deal out of his opponent.
"- Kill Kill !!" - This is a dazed berserker......
With a reliable channel of communication and a temporary sense of cooperation, the thugs of the "Tabesa Support Group" (this is the local tyrant who gave the name to the temporary channel, and more than one person gave him the middle finger) quickly made a judgment. This was a bit of a surprise to them, but in retrospect it made sense:
It all started with the veteran who didn't bother to sweat like them and crawl in the dust with his enemies, and his song echoed through the ruins of Alterac. One side proof is that even if he has accepted the invitation to let the local tyrant into the temporary team channel, that person still doesn't say a word. In contrast to this judgment, despite the safe setting of the world, no one received a hint of the Nightmare Mark - a hint as to what special skills the Syndicate Assassin was affected by "Torre the Red Mage"—and it was less surprising. "It's nothing more than perceptual suppression", they probably think so, which is also the normal feeling of normal people; However, if Jin Shaolan knew what they were thinking, he would probably be celebrating: where did he get any special skills, and what affected the syndicate assassin was the "contagiousness" brought by his high charisma value.
In the eyes of the contractors who regarded him as the "Torre Red Robe Mage", what the "veteran Jin Shaolan" said to Ms. Tabeisa before that "the mission branch was chosen by mistake because of a misunderstanding", this kind of nonsense deceived anyone except the beautiful and powerful female mage herself, who did not know the inside story? This is the way he chose to befriend a high-level mage to complete the main quest; The basic way to kill a lone mob is so low difficulty, he doesn't bother to shoot at all. - Maybe he had the intention of doing so, but apparently he changed his mind after Tabeza showed up in the tavern.
The person who plays the score is already annoying, not to mention that he still has the strength to play the score, which is even more annoying. But after confirming that it was the skills of the "Torre Red Mage" that created the current preponderance of the Contractors over the Syndicate Assassins, this beautiful misunderstanding undoubtedly left a strong impression on everyone:
"The reason why this veteran/this bastard/this master is so proud is that it turns out that people really have the capital to put on a score!!"
After this impression took root in their hearts, whether it was Jin Shaolan's change of opinion or even more disgusting of his contractor, they all began to subconsciously rejoice that a senior legal profession had to go to the task branch of their physical damage exporter to make a compose—the purpose of what he did was to curry favor with Tarbesa, because this high-level mage was very bored with her current job: she must be more willing to fight powerful demons or monsters, or pursue more esoteric knowledge, Instead of wasting their time here - and the object of the profit is the output of kitchen knives that they want to fight with the real knives and guns of the syndicate mercenaries! ……
"Protect the mage!" Tuhao said in the temporary team channel, because of his boldness of paying a lot of general points to open the channel, he is currently the leader of everyone by default (as long as there is no entanglement of interests, he will continue to acquiesce): "He is so lacking in morality, I am afraid that he will be targeted by the enemy - the mage's ability to protect himself is people's own business, what we have to do is to stop those ditch rats and not let his skills be interrupted." With this kind of skill that requires continuous guidance, the cooldown time is not short? Wow, I found another one! ”
"Please take my knees! It used to be a little bit closer, but now these bastards are more willing to fight with me for two more tricks! - Wow, Ms. Tabesa! Thank you for your immediate help, you are my Queen Mary, you are my Monroe! ”
“…… Neither Her Majesty nor Madam Tarbesa will accept you, thank you. ”
"Thanks, mage, I'll keep an eye out for the Assassins coming to you—as long as I grab them by the tail."
……
However, unlike when they were confidently prepared, they wanted to "surround the point and send reinforcements", protect the red-robed mage, and harvest a steady stream of enemies? However, there is no such good thing, the "veteran Jin Shaolan" who stands on the top of the bell tower in a red robe and sings in a low voice is obviously eye-catching like a firefly in the night, but there seems to be no such person in the eyes of those syndicates.
…… Well, this is the life of the "blue-collar" kitchen knife, you have to admit it - they think so, pain and happiness.
With the local tyrant's team channel taking the lead, and the assistance of "veteran Jin Shaolan" as a promotion, the contractors gradually formed the most preliminary cooperation and coordination under the goal of temporary cooperation.
Like a group of elite and fierce hounds under the command of Tabesa, after the friction of the initial meeting, the well-trained guys gradually and spontaneously take the first steps in the direction of forming a group. In the hounds, a robin stood on its side, a small and slender red-breasted bird that was out of place compared to these tall and fierce animals. But he stretched his singing voice to himself, and even regarded them as the most competent set on the stage, and his sombre and gentle cry sounded as if no one was in the hunting ground where they were divided.
This is a robin performance.
Not far away, on the watchtower of a section of the city wall, Tabesa stood in the wind. She was a little surprised and amused to see that from the time Desidua Wind Seeker stepped onto the ruined bell tower to sing, it had become easier for her kitchen knife adventurers to find out the assassins, to keep them behind, or to spare their lives. And the "culprit", the High Elf who is supposed to be set on fire, is on the top, he is only "boosting the morale of the Syndicate Assassins"!
