Chapter 17: Plague Zombies
Theoretically speaking, only the captain of the mercenary can give orders in battle, and the team members can only obey the order, unless this order is clearly sent to death, otherwise they cannot disobey, let alone put forward their own opinions casually. If you want to put forward your opinions, you can only put them forward before or after the fact, and casually raising them during the battle will only lead to confusion in command and make everyone confused.
However, there is one exception, which is the biggest difference between a mercenary and a soldier in the army.
Even in battle, when a team member discovers the key to victory, or finds that the captain's orders may cause a team crisis, they can give their opinion, which is not against the rules of mercenaries, but whether the captain accepts it is another question.
Mia accepted.
Burrowing spiders are ruthless hunters, they do not wait for their prey to come to their door, but often choose to hunt actively, just like jumping spiders and cracked tooth spiders, relying on agile movements and lightning speed, using their numerical superiority to lay terrible traps to attack when the enemy is most relaxed.
Due to the need for close contact with the prey, the body of burrowing spiders is not as soft as that of ordinary spiders, their body surface is covered with an exoskeleton, in fact, other spiders also have it, but it is relatively soft, while the exoskeleton of burrowing spiders gives up flexibility in order to protect themselves when hunting.
With the length of their burrowing spiders' bodies of more than twenty centimeters, their shells are quite sturdy, and an adult may not be able to hurt them if they step on them too hard, which is rare among the small insect beasts of the Black Iron and Bronze Order.
And these mutant spiders in front of him who have reached the silver level and even occasionally appear in the gold level, even Duck said that they are very hard, so you can imagine the hardness of the shell.
For such a sturdy shell, the temperature difference change is the most effective way to attack, this truth Mia herself knows, but she didn't think of it in time for a while, in fact, even if Shuer didn't propose it, after a minute or two of hard fighting, she could still remember it by herself, of course, it would be good to be earlier.
Glaring at the innocent-looking Shuer viciously, Mia pursed her lips in imagination and raised her voice: "Yuli, do as he says, but ...... You use ice, I use fire, and my fire-attribute magic is more powerful. ”
Oh, what a terrible woman, what a boring self-esteem, isn't it, dear Sasa. Even if there is a distance of five or six meters, Shuer does not forget to ** the female swordsman, the voice is so small that even the people around her can't hear clearly, but judging from the performance of Safu turning back instantly, she still can't hide it from her ears.
"Try to get as close to me as possible, don't let the spiders come near us, Miriday, do whatever you want now. "It's good that Mia didn't hear Shuer's words, otherwise he would have seen what it means to be terrible to be a woman," the others reduced their interference with the two of us. ”
"Now, of course. The red-haired necromancer had been cowering behind Mia, and at this point he finally stepped forward. At her feet, a strange circle had formed, well, at least Shul seemed strange. After all, he had only been in Pavatiga for two years, and although he had seen some magic circles, such as teleportation, control, and energy storage, it was the first time he had seen the magic circles used in battle.
"Your *** dwelling spider, my name, Miriday, Styx witness, hereby make a soul pact, awaken your instincts, borrow your remnants, and make you serve me. ”
With a snap, the palm of his hand slapped in the center of the circle, and a large number of thin lines formed by faint green light emanated from the circle and spread to the corpses of every spider around them. In the next moment, as long as the corpses that were not too badly damaged, they all stood up with the support of the green light, and stretched their limbs with a click, as if they had just woken up from a deep sleep.
"In the name of Miriday, call upon the evil spirits that sleep at the bottom of the River Styx. Dozens of corpses were awakened, but Miridy was not satisfied, and recited another set of magical guiding incantations, "Sacrifice the souls of two thousand mutated caveworms in exchange for the favor of darkness." ”
The green light on the circle flickered three times, and a black mist that was so black that it could be discerned even in the extremely dim magic pool rose from the circle and quickly sank into the body that Militi had awakened.
It only took a minute from the time the spell was cast to the end, but in this minute, no one could stay out of it.
Especially the hardest and most dangerous close professions.
Dark, who is in full body armor, is the most relaxed, only needs to inject a small amount of fighting energy into the armor to strengthen, you can ensure that the armor will not be bitten by burrowing spiders, the sturdy armor is the best protection, Duck does not have to worry about being hurt at all, the blood-colored rose turned into a spear, and the spear in both hands opened and closed, strictly guarding a large fan-shaped area in the front, so that the little spiders could not get close, even if there were occasional small spiders that slipped through the web crawled on him, it didn't matter, just shake it off and step on it to death.
Western Warriors Charles and Tigerman Rudolph are two of the most pitiful because they are both ...... Minimal clothing.
Charles wears a pair of loose trousers on his lower body, and only two wide cloth bands on his upper body, which is the standard wear in some western regions.
And the tiger man Rudolph, because his body is covered with thick tiger hair, he wears nothing on his upper body, only a pair of shorts on his lower body, which is the only armor on his body. Although the fur belt has an innate defensive ability, it is not enough to resist the fangs of burrowing spiders, after all, those are also silver-level mutated monsters, not ordinary spiders that can be seen everywhere in the corner.
Therefore, two fellows with the same disease are the most dangerous in front of the burrowing spiders, and they are simply unguarded existences.
However, the two also have their own way, that is, the division of labor and cooperation.
Charles, the scimitar warrior, was famous in the cities of the western wilderness, and the scimitar used by the westerners seemed to come to life in his hands. The length of the scimitar is inconspicuous, but in his hand, the range of the attack is even greater than the spear in Dark's hand.
Charles used not one, but six. With two grasps in their hands, they chopped and slashed, blocking the space within two meters of the surroundings, and any hostile creature that dared to approach would be cut into pieces as soon as possible.
The other four flew into the sky, and the melee scimitars were used by him as throwing weapons, and the scimitars flew out of his hands like boomerangs, and when they flew to the end, they quickly turned around and returned to his side. At this time, he didn't even need to use his hands, as long as he flicked his weapon, the whirling scimitar spun and flew out again, and the power was not inferior to that when he threw it.
The sword light flickered in the firelight, and the sword light infused with fighting spirit crisscrossed like an invisible net, once it fell into the net, there was no chance of survival.
Rudoke's attack range is really short, as his weapon is a pair of hands. The claws that pop out of the outside of the fingers are hard and sharp and indestructible, but they can only be controlled by the arm. But that's enough, Charles can be a scimitar without any scruples, because he doesn't need to defend at all, and the task of defense is Rudoke's.
Rudoc was always by Charles's side, not to mention his burly stature, but with the agility and agility of felines, and their enviable dynamic strength, with him by his side, any spider that approached would not be ignored, and even if he escaped Charles's scimitar, he would be nailed to the ground by five sharp claws.
As for Saph on the other side, Saph is a gust of wind, the wind of death.
No one can stop the wind.
When the wind of death blows, the two-handed greatsword is as fast as if it has lost the concept of the process of movement, and can only see where it has stalled, but not how it has reached there. The mercenaries couldn't see it, and neither could the spiders, they could only watch in confusion as their kind were cut in half by a large sword that suddenly appeared, but they couldn't do anything about it.
It's not that they don't have no attacks, but unfortunately, no one can hurt the wind either.
The sword was cut down, slashed in two, but this was just a visual deception, and when he saw the sword fell, Saf had already left the place and floated to the next target, leaving the spiders to attack only a non-existent afterimage.
At the fastest speed, the female swordsman even left three afterimages in a frenzy, and within a radius of ten paces, there was only a waving sword and corpses all over the ground, and there was not a single living thing in sight.
"Now it's my turn. In a minute, Miridi finally completed her spell, and her haughty voice, as if it had been ordered from the Queen, "Start your show, Plague Corps." ”
The name is very unpleasant when you hear it, so that everyone glances at those controlled spider corpses, well, the pitch-black body glows with a green shimmer, and the black air around the body is swirling, and the faint of heart will have nightmares at night when they look at it.
Fortunately, the corpses themselves do not feel terrified, although they are slightly less flexible than they were alive, but they are still very fast, and they pounce on the spider tide, as if they have a deep hatred for their own kind.
In addition to the mouthparts of the burrowing spider that sucks food juice, there is also a pair of powerful big jaws, which is commonly known as fangs, although the poison in the body of the spider corpse can not pose a threat to the same kind, but the big jaw is a deadly weapon, the big jaw closes, the light is to penetrate the shell of the same kind, and the heavy is directly to lose half of the head, dozens of burrowing spider zombies, but in the blink of an eye, the same number of corpses of the same kind are left.
However, this is not the most terrifying, the most terrible thing is that after more than ten seconds, the corpse of the spider that was bitten to death twitched a few times and then got up again, the same green light, the same black gas, did not hesitate to join the enemy's team, and began to kill each other.
No wonder these zombies are named Plague Corps, as terrifyingly contagious as the plague, simple and efficient, and indeed worthy of the name Plague Corps.
Of course, there is a limit to the amount of spread, and the duration of the spread ability is not long, and it requires a lot of cost, and the enemy soul in the contract is only one of the sacrifices. But even so, everyone will inevitably look sideways at the necromancer's methods.
"Be careful!" Just as everyone's hearts cheered at the addition of the zombie spider, Shuer's nervous voice came out.
