Chapter 33: The Choice
The skeleton captain hurriedly recruited the nearby low-level skeletons to come over to "escort", but they were basically stopped by the dwarf alone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The dwarve, hammer in both hands, unleashes his incredible talent for racial strength, smashing any skeletal that comes close to it like a humanoid murder weapon.
In terms of lethality and clearance efficiency, even Chu Fang is not as good as him who wields a giant hammer.
It didn't take long for the lone skeleton captain to be cut off by a few swords from the vigorous Chu Fang, and the attribute skills were originally far apart, but now it was even more difficult to support.
A sword split the blocked bone shield, and took advantage of the moment to strike one after another, directly extinguishing the soul fire in his mind, and this skeleton captain could only be unwilling to fall.
Similarly, without the captain's command, the surrounding low-level skeletons gradually turned into a plate of loose sand, and Sentai simply stood in place and continued to crush the skeletons like garbage.
At this time, Les finally killed the Captain of the Skeleton in his position.
Nigel also finished sniping the low-level ghosts, and the overall situation of the whole battle has been decided, and the remaining low-level skeletons are already difficult to pose a threat to the mercenaries.
While trying to save his physical strength, Chu Fang seized the time to speed up the killing of the remnants of the undead.
As the number of undead decreases rapidly, the mercenaries once again expand their defenses, and to the end, they become low-level skeletons that the mercenaries chase and scatter.
Seeing that the entire battlefield was empty, Nigel and Rice finally gave the order to rest in place again.
The dwarf was also tired this time, and the big thorn lay directly on the ground, panting one by one.
"Behind these undead, it's definitely not simple, let's retreat first."
Nigel hesitated for a while, and struggled to squeeze a sentence out of his mouth.
"This, that's the only way," Les's face was also very ugly, "I haven't encountered so many undead before I got to the mine, and even a second-order skeleton captain has appeared, so I can't continue to take risks." ”
Chu Fang was about to speak, but suddenly felt a sense of depression, and suddenly turned his head to look into the depths of the forest!
At this moment, a thick black mist suddenly rushed out around the forest, directly enveloping the entire mercenary team in the middle, and the situation inside the black mist could not be seen at all.
Faced with this strange and terrifying scene, although the mercenaries had been fighting for a long time, they couldn't help but scream quietly.
"Ah, what's going on!"
"What are these things?"
"Very oppressive dark magic!" It was the voice of the first-order mage in the team.
"Boom, Boom ......"
I saw a figure with a black robe hidden all over his body slowly coming out of the black mist, followed by far more undead creatures than before!
"Since you've finally come here, don't even think about leaving," the black shadow who couldn't see his face stretched out a delicate pitch-black staff and pointed at it, "Today, you all have to stay!" ”
The sound fell, and the undead creatures in the black fog instantly activated, and they rushed like a mountain and a sea.
Far away, in order to verify what he thought in his heart, Chu Fang subconsciously used the "Insight" skill on this mysterious black shadow again!
The spiritual power that had already reached the second order seemed to suddenly open the floodgates, and it leaked out frantically, and in just a few seconds, there was less than one-fifth left!
"Judgment ......"
"The strength is suppressed by the target, the perception is equal, and a small amount of information about the target is obtained"
Bartlet
Race: Human
Strength: 9/1st order
Physique:???
Dexterity: 1/2nd order
Perceive:? /Second
Spirit:? / Third order
Skill:???
Sure enough, on the other side is the initiator of this undead scourge and the biggest enemy of the badge quest - the necromancer Bartlet!
As if sensing something unusual, the black shadow in the group of undead glanced in the direction of Chu Fang like a torch, and Chu Fang lowered his head tightly to avoid attracting the attention of the other party.
For a moment, Chu Fang felt that cold gaze leave from this position, and only then did he dare to raise his head slowly.
It is worthy of being a legal powerhouse whose spiritual power has reached the third order, and his perception is similar to his own, and his sensitivity is terrifying, and using a detection skill on him from such a distance can attract his attention.
Chu Fang couldn't help but be secretly anxious, after Bartlet appeared, the combat ability of the undead was completely a big jump, and that strange layer of black fog seemed to have played a great role, the mercenary had just fought two rounds in a row, I am afraid it was difficult to hold on this time.
It seemed to verify Chu Fang's prediction, this time the undead were also led by the three skeleton captains, and they slammed into the barely established defense line like a wave, and many mercenaries were injured and fell to the ground in the first wave of attack.
"The people of the 'Heat' will resist me to the death, don't panic, Nigel, you will organize a team to break through immediately!"
Les took the lead and continued to carry it at the front, shouting frantically.
"Sentai, you immediately go up and help Captain Rice resist Captain Skeleton, mage don't stay any longer, blast out a way out of the back with all your might!"
"Wella, you have all our scrolls ready and use them as soon as you get the chance, support mage!"
"All the archers give priority to killing the undead who break through the defense line, and don't let the formation collapse!"
Nigel's eyes were red, and he immediately issued a series of orders in a row, fully demonstrating the professional command quality of an excellent mercenary captain.
At this time, he looked at Chu Fang with a tired face, and his young face was full of hatred, and he gritted his teeth and said to Chu Fang: "Your Excellency Falcon, this is probably a trap for us. ”
"I don't think the chances of breaking through will be high, you're the best of us, and that undead is focused on me and Rice."
"Later, you must find a chance to get out of here, this is my token as the captain, you take this to the head of the church and our 'Changfeng', you must tell them the news here!"
"That mayor of Filin is probably also very problematic, it's all up to you!"
After speaking, he didn't wait for Chu Fang to answer, he directly threw something over in the air, and walked forward with a longbow to help the mercenaries resist the surging sea of undead.
Chu Fang caught this badge-like item with one hand, and the voice of the system sounded in his ears at the same time:
"Reserve Academy Chu Fang, trigger selective side quest - Message/Rescue"
"Mission Tip: Your series of outstanding performances have earned the trust of Captain Nigel, who has chosen to hand you the team token in the hope that you can break through the blockade and bring the information out here! However, if you can rescue the mercenaries, it is also a better choice! ”
"Mission Objectives: 1 - Inform the pastor of the church and the head of the 'Changfeng' mercenary group with the information here"
"Mission Duration: 1 Day"

"Mission duration: 5 hours"
"Task Reward: Complete Goal 1 - Report the Message, Improve the Clearance Evaluation, Spirit Point 2"
"Complete Goal 2 - Rescue, depending on the degree of completion, the minimum reward: greatly increase the clearance evaluation, spiritual power point 2"
"Mission Tip: Do What You Can!"
"Failure Penalty: Failure to complete any of the above objectives will be regarded as mission failure, and the clearance evaluation will be reduced by one level"
"Accept this task, yes/no"
My choice, of course, is, accept!
