Chapter 8 The Second Guiding Mission
Take out Phil and take control of the escort team! On the way from the carriage to the suburban manor and back to the basement of the tavern, the thought had been circling in Sheppis's mind.
Unlike the previous actions of the old K-group, the decision-making power of the joint team belongs to Xue Pis, not Xu Mo. After all, this space war has different meanings for both sides, and the old K regiment can fail, at most, it doesn't want the core of time and space. The skeleton regiment can't fail, once they lose, then there will be no day to turn over.
For this reason, the person who made the final decision must be Xue Pis, not Xu Mo. However, the skeleton leader had to admit that Xu Mo's suggestion was very tempting. Now he finally understood what the young man's mouth was about the slight advantage that space gave to the skeletons.
Judging from the world map given by space, King Breland City is closer to that area than other countries. This saves them a few days of travel and gives them a few more days to prepare for tasks than other top teams.
In fact, the advantage given to the skeleton group by the five superstring spaces is the preparation time of these few days, which was not intended to let them compete for the dominance of the escort team. After all, killing the original leader of the escort team is too variable for this kind of thing. Except for Xu Mo's perversion, few people take advantage of this, and space is also unable to make predictions.
The five spaces give the skeleton regiment time to prepare, which is another purpose. A change that is easy for the reincarnation to know and control, and this plot change will be reflected in the next guided mission.
As soon as Shepis and his party returned to the tavern from the manor, they immediately received a notification from the tavern director. An emissary from the eldest prince Felix arrives at the tavern and asks to meet with the high-ranking decision-makers of the Red Rose.
I was expected by this guy again! Xue Pis glanced at Xu Mo in admiration. The sages of the reincarnation team are strictly speaking, and there are three types of one.
The first type is tactical, this kind of wise man can make precise combat arrangements according to the characteristics and skills of his team members, so that the whole team can operate as accurately as a machine, and improve combat efficiency. This type of wise man is generally a support type of transfer, able to observe the entire battlefield from the rear and make overall arrangements. For example: Athena in the Temple of the Gods, Xie Qian in the Skeleton Regiment.
The second type of wise man belongs to the analytical and judgment type, this kind of wise man is meticulous and can dig out the truth of the entire incident with limited intelligence support, and make arrangements in advance. There are various combat professions of this kind of wise man, but most of them are legal professions, after all, legal skills require more careful minds.
The third category of wise men belongs to the strategists of their kind. This type of wise man is very terrifying, and in some details, they may not be as good as the first two wise men. However, once they are allowed to gain the upper hand, the enemy will sink deeper and deeper like an insect caught in a spider's web, and eventually the whole army will be destroyed. Fortunately, this kind of wise man is extremely rare, and there may only be one or two people in a superstring space, or even none at all.
Xu Mo actually belongs to a combination of the second and third categories, and only in terms of specific tactics will his performance be slightly weaker. However, this has something to do with his combat profession, as a top assassin, Xu Mo often has to rush to the front line. Not only should attention be highly concentrated, but also the speed of action is extremely fast, and it is difficult to have time to observe the entire battlefield and command the battle accordingly.
"In ten minutes, bring Prince Felix's messenger to the dark room." Shepis turned to the Rainman and commanded.
The rain man said yes and turned to go out.
"Old K, what guidance mission did you say Felix's envoy would bring us when he came here?" Shepis looked at Xu Mo with burning eyes.
“…… Lao Tzu is not a soothsayer, how do I know? Can't you even wait ten minutes? Xu Mo glared at the skeleton leader angrily, turned around and took the wine to himself.
In Xu Mo's heart, he had actually guessed something, but he didn't want to just tell Xue Pisi like that. It's not that Xu Mo is stingy, it's that he doesn't want Xue Pis to develop the habit of relying on him.
The five major spaces allow a joint team of more than twenty people to enter the space war, and it is obvious that at some point, the team needs to be divided into several teams to fight, and it is not a good thing for Shepis to develop the habit of relying on him.
"Stingy!" Xue Pis muttered dissatisfiedly and followed Xu Mo into the dark room.
"Step, step, step......" The sound of slight and rhythmic footsteps entered the dark room from the corridor.
The wine glass that Xu Mo had just brought to his lips paused, frowned slightly, and listened carefully to the footsteps. After listening for a while, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Shepis just in time to see the skeleton leader looking over with the same look of surprise.
"Soldier!"
"Very strong!"
A strong man like Xu Mo and Xue Pis, saying that he has experienced a hundred battles and has experienced life and death several times, there is absolutely no exaggeration. Living in danger all year round, the rich combat and adventure experience makes their hearing very similar to that of ordinary people.
Ordinary people's sense of hearing is only an aid to vision, but their sense of hearing is as sharp as vision. Although it cannot replace the visual intuitive image, it can get a lot of information from some sounds that ordinary people cannot perceive.
The footsteps outside the dark room were calm and powerful, stepping on the ground like a drum, showing that the person was a powerful warrior. The fact that the footsteps are evenly spaced and the rhythm is consistent proves that the strong man is extremely self-disciplined, and even his steps have formed a habit for many years.
Of course, there are many warriors who have the same pace, and they are not necessarily soldiers. But the rhythm of the steps is the same, and the footsteps are as powerful as the beating of drums, so that only the soldiers who practice the marching columns every day can form this walking habit.
"Your Excellency, this is Lord Sherbis of our Red Rose, and I believe he should be qualified to listen to your commission!" The rain man took a big man into the dark room, and said in a somewhat gloomy tone, it is estimated that he should have suffered some losses outside.
After the rain man finished speaking, he stood behind Shepis and remained silent. Scorpis sat down in his chair and looked up at the seven-foot man in front of him. As for Xu Mo, who has long since disappeared, it is obvious that the two sinister guys want to carry out the strategy of one light and one dark to the end.
The big man in front of Shepis was tall and burly, no less than the skeleton leader. The big man's face is slightly blue, his cheekbones are high, and his eyes are as sharp as an eagle in his deep sunken eye sockets. The left eyebrow is only half cut off, and the corners of the eyebrow are somewhat deformed, which is supposed to have been injured in battle. However, this scar made the big man's face even more fierce.
"Contemptible Leo, under the orders of His Highness Felix, to convey a commissioned mission to your organization. Just now, a little unpleasantness happened to the cadres of your organization outside, and I hope you will understand! Dahan smiled heartily, and his polite and thoughtful words were completely different from his fierce appearance, reflecting Dahan's good personal cultivation.
"He's that Leo?!" The Rainman, who was standing quietly behind Shepis was shocked, and suddenly bowed his head and whispered in the Skeleton Leader's ear, "Leo Foster, the former head of the Royal Knight of Brelland, was a Sky Knight ten years ago, and later retired due to serious injuries, and was recruited by the eldest prince Felix to be the chief of the guard. ”
"Your Excellency Leo is gracious, in Lower Sheppis, the head of the Red Rose here. I wonder what mission His Highness Felix wants to entrust us? Shepis looked at Leo Foster with glowing eyes.
The Skeleton Leader had a hunch that if he could compete with this Leo Foster, he would probably get a big breakthrough. In fact, after the transferor breaks through the second order, the law of body and soul will form a unique personal style, and the higher up it is, the more difficult it is to break through.
It is also for this reason that the superstring space cannot arbitrarily erase the second-order reincarnation, and the higher the level, the less the influence of the superstring law on the transferee. Physical attributes can no longer be enhanced by the free attribute points provided by the superstring space, and they will also encounter bottlenecks in high-level skills, and they can no longer continue to improve. This is also the main reason why third-order job changers are comparable to giant pandas.
When Leo first entered the dark room, he didn't notice Shepis in his eyes due to the light. However, soon, the former head of the Royal Knights felt the battle spirit on Xue Pis's body, and looked at the skeleton leader seriously.
"Sky Knight?" Leo let out a low cry of surprise.
"Isn't that weird?" The battle-spirited Xue Pis suddenly stiffened, like a deflated ball, slumped on the sofa, and responded listlessly, obviously Xu Mo, who was hidden in the shadows, showed a red card warning.
"Hehe, it's not! Contemptible people have long heard that there is a dragon and a crouching tiger among the red roses, but they didn't expect that there would be high-ranking knights in the assassin organization. Leo laughed, "Won't Lord Shepis invite me to sit down for a drink?" ”
"I was negligent, hehe, let's talk while drinking!" Shepis admired Leo's quick talk, got up and opened the wine cabinet, and threw a bottle to the big man.
……
"Alas, if it weren't for your obstruction, I would really like to take on Leo's mission!" Xue Pis looked at Xu Mo with some grievances.
I have to say that the logical operation ability of the five major spaces is very powerful, and they have comprehensively calculated Felix's messenger candidate and Shepis character. If it weren't for Xu Mo's existence, Xue Pis would most likely give up the main quest provided by the half-elf Phil and choose the camp of the eldest prince Felix.
Without Xu Mo, Shepis would not have been able to hear many secrets from the Half-Elf Patriarch, and Phil would not have prevented the Skeleton Leader from returning to the tavern. Without Xu Mo's analysis, Xue Pis would not rashly take on Phil's main quest, and it would take a certain amount of time to think about it. And Leo's timely appearance happened to make him change his mind and join the command of the eldest prince Felix.
The guiding mission given by Leo is as simple and crude as this person, and it is very much in line with the aesthetics of Shepis, assassinating the patriarch of the Cross family, Phil, the half-elf!
