"That's fine. Rondello thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

After discussing the way to cooperate, the six teams entered the gap at the foot of the mountain together.

It is said to be a gap, but in fact, this crack is sixty or seventy meters wide and nearly 100 meters high, which can be called a canyon. Six squads walked among them, as small as dozens of ants.

Descending along the sloping ground, the light gets darker and darker. After walking more than 100 meters, I entered a huge karst cave.

As soon as he entered the cave, he heard a rapid wind, and then, Wood, who was walking in the front, roared, crossed his two swords in his hands, and collided with a black shadow that rushed forward, and in a piercing sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the black shadow turned around and flew into the sky again.

"Be careful," Wood roared, "it's the Ironwinged Demon!"

As he spoke, several more black shadows pounced. At the same time, there was a tremor on the ground, and several fire rock demons appeared from the depths of the cave.

This cave is the first area to enter the abyssal labyrinth, and there are dozens of passages densely distributed in it. Some passages are dead ends, some passages are connected to each other, and some passages lead to different places. Inside the channel, there are forks, which are extremely complicated.

Until now, no one has really been able to figure out these passages. I don't know how many mercenaries are lost in the labyrinth forever because they can't find their way back.

For this reason, the mercenaries → call this huge cave the Temple of Roulette. Choosing which lane to go on is like betting on a roulette wheel. Whether you get rich or die depends on luck.

However, after all, it is the first place to enter the labyrinth, so everyone is quite familiar with the Roulette Hall and knows the general situation here. Be on your guard. The attack of the Winged Demon posed little of a threat.

As Wood and the Ironwinged Demon fought, the knights of the three advance squads, Rock, Highland United, and Icestar, all quickly stepped forward and formed a tight line of defense.

"Archers. ”

In the crowd, Olivia, who was in charge of the conductor, shouted.

Battle-Formation Coordination is a compulsory course for qualified mercenaries. There is a strict set of rules and methodological steps. When the knight is in front, the archers in each team have automatically gathered behind the knight, with their bows and arrows ready, without being taught.

Olivia stared at the demons flying in the sky until they pounced on them, then unleashed a dazzling spell and ordered, "Shoot!"

A white light stretched out of the air.

In the eyes of the mercenaries. The light was hazy and soft, but in the demon's eyes, it was a bright light far more dazzling than the scorching sun. For a moment, the flying demons all subconsciously stagnated in mid-air, and their bodies, along with the entire cave, were all illuminated.

This is a good time for the archers to strike.

Whoosh, one after another feathered arrows burst out of the string, piercing into the demon's body with precision. Tremendous force. The demon that shot in the air trembled.

The demons howled in agony.

But. This is just the first wave of human attacks. Immediately after the archers, the French professions of each squad also shot one after another.

Colorful magic bloomed among the demons.

If the arrows of the archers bring pain to the demons, then these magic are ten times more powerful. What brings is ruining miè. For a moment, I saw one demon after another howling in the air and turning into ashes as if they were burning in flames.

Ten minutes later, dozens of abyss demons in the Roulette Hall were cleared.

When the last of the Ironwinged Winged Demon turned into black mud and spilled on the ground. Wood took out the map of the abyss, carefully confirmed the route indicated by the two survivors, and led the way to the fifth cave on the left.

"Go this way. ”

The crowd followed.

Roy walked in the queue, and couldn't help but admire in his heart.

In the eyes of many, mercenaries are a rabble. They have not been strictly cultivated, their speech is rude, their behavior is reckless, and many of them have various vices such as lust, drinking, gambling, etc., and they draw swords against each other when they disagree, and they like to fight and fight the most.

This makes it difficult for them to guarantee organization and discipline. It's okay to fight alone, but if you form a team, your combat effectiveness is much lower than that of an army of the same number. On the battlefield, a hundred military knights and two hundred mercenaries of the same strength fight, and the end is likely to end with the collapse of the mercenaries.

This notion has been ingrained. Even the mercenaries themselves thought so.

However, only Roy, who lived through the Lulian War, knew what terrible potential these so-called rabble had. Only he understands that these mercenaries are not a plate of loose sand as people imagine.

On the contrary, they have a strong sense of teamwork.

This awareness comes from the rules of the mercenary world, from their professional habits, and from the battles they have fought over the years.

A mercenary, in his career, performs tasks alone, accounting for less than twenty percent of all tasks. And 80 percent, they need to cooperate with different people.

Or a team of three or five, or a team of nine or ten. Even in some high-level team assignments, they need to work with hundreds of peers.

In the team, they know their strengths and roles better than anyone else, and they always play their role well.

This ability is not innate, but in the process of going from rookie to old bird, they exchanged the bloody scolding of their predecessors, the angry fists of their peers, and even the lessons and costs of their own blood. Far deeper and more solid than training on the training ground.

In each mission, they learned how to keep silent, how to cover their companions, how to move in different battle formations, how to coordinate attacks, how to choose the best time and way to attack, and how to avoid making fatal mistakes.

Just like just now.

These six teams did not know each other before, and they did not communicate and discuss, and even the orders given by Olivia were very simple.

However, everyone knows what to do in the chosen formation.

For example, the Rock Squad is naturally at the forefront, and when it encounters a demon attack, the rear squad will consciously step forward to support.

And the knights formed the first line of defense, and the archers assembled a salvo. The magician releases magic, which is everyone's subconscious action. The rounds of attacks are tightly connected and fluid. Combat efficiency is extremely high. And even far more than some of the armies.

Passing through the Temple of Roulette, the procession entered the passage one after another.

The passage was dark and damp, surrounded by thick claw vines. This demonic plant unique to the abyss, once someone approaches. It will attack with the ends of its claw-like vines. Once the skin is scratched by it, it will immediately turn black and rot.

Of course, such an attack was not a threat to the knight with the warring, but the chicken claw vine was extremely tough and grew incredibly fast, and as long as one of its countless roots was still stuck in the soil, its severed tentacles would grow rapidly.

What's even more annoying is that this cocktail vine is extremely resistant to magic. Whether it is fire or ice, it does not have much effect on it. Even if it costs a lot of mana to release an eighth-level magic, the efficiency is not much higher than slashing all the way through it with a knife.

While cutting and walking, the passage was just two hundred meters, and it took everyone half a prayer to get through.

Passing through this passage, there is an underground river with a width of tens of meters and steep cliffs on both sides. The rushing water echoes in the enclosed cavern, deafening.

Head downstream along the river. Along the way, he was attacked by several Abyss Demons.

But. Maybe the other mercenary squads that entered the labyrinth before have been cleaned up, and the number of demons is not much, and the most wave is only twenty or thirty fifth-level demons. With everyone on guard, they don't stand a chance at all.

According to the rules of mercenaries, several squads are rotated.

The three squads in front are in a regular triangle. The last three teams are in an inverted triangle, with the front team scouting the way, the rearmost team protecting the tail, and the other four teams only need to take turns sending scouts to provide some necessary assistance.

Teams rotate clockwise.

In a squad that is on a mission-opening mission. Roy discovers that the Highland Combined Mercenary Squad, led by Olivia, is the strongest. Secondly, there is the Rock Mercenary Squad led by Wood. These two mercenary squads, one is good at attacking, the other is good at defending, they are experienced and cooperate tacitly.

As for the Raphael mercenary squad and the other two temporary squads, they are relatively weaker. However, their strength is also first-class in the mission hall.

After passing through the Dark River, the team walked around the cobweb-like cavern for a long time. Along the way, I passed through lava rivers, underground poison pools, and Wanzhang canyons, and almost every hundred meters I walked was attacked by several abyssal demons.

Eventually, the team descended a natural cliff crevice. After walking for most of the prayer, I finally got out of the narrow cliff crevice. A vast plain suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes.

"This is the Dark Basin," Wood said, pointing to the towering mountains around him, "and where the mercenary team encountered the clouds. ”

The mercenaries raised their eyes and saw that the flat ground stretched dozens of kilometers away. The surrounding mountains are towering, like huge statues, and there is a strong sense of oppression.

Because of the depth of the earth, there is naturally no sky overhead, but there is no rock dome to be seen. Yes, it's just a layer of black mist, like a suspended river, surging and rushing.

On the cliff on the left, dozens of meters away, a waterfall cascades down and plunges into a deep pool at the foot of the mountain, splashing a large cloud of fine and cool water vapor.

A few hundred meters to the right, there is a lava waterfall. The fiery red lava cascades down the cliff like a bright tapestry. From time to time, large balls of open flames jumped out of the thick and slow magma, bursting out countless sparks.

In the distance, the mountains rise and fall, and from time to time the echo of the demon's roar can be heard. In the black fog-filled sky, you can vaguely see the hovering figures of winged demons and shadow demons.

The expressions of the crowd were a little solemn.

Everyone knows that getting here means that the map in their hands can be thrown away. This is the end of the abyssal labyrinth path explored by human beings, and it is also the burial place of countless strong people...... (To be continued......)
