Act Ninety-Six: Edge I
"Captain Mia, everyone is almost together..."
The yellow-haired girl walked slowly to the barbarian's side, and saw that she was dressed as an assassin.
"Hmm."
Maia was silent for a while, looking at the bustling crowd, her eyes flashing, "Gebu still hasn't come." โ
โ...โ
The girl was silent for a while, Gebu was also a barbarian, and like Maia, he was a professional who had survived the last crusade.
Unlike Maia, Gebu was severely traumatized in that battle, not only physically, but also mentally.
The cunning and cruelty of this dark gold monster was far beyond their expectations, the sewers were full of corpses, and their companions were killed in front of their eyes, and few people could muster up the courage to return here again after experiencing such horror.
Many people persuaded Maia that it was just a pointless death.
No one knows how capable those Canduran professionals are, and the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
At the beginning, the mercenary king pinned too many people's expectations, and ended up in such a tragic end.
None of the bodies were recovered.
It can be said that the vast majority of the more than 80 people sent by the Professional's Home came with the consciousness of revenge, overcoming fear, and dying.
"That monster must be eradicated."
Maia took a deep breath.
Crusading monsters is no child's play, and for Lu Gauin, for them as professionals, this may be the last chance.
Failure, unbearable.
It has to be successful.
"Let's exchange notes."
Amber duly broke the solemn atmosphere and pulled out a roll of paper from the backpack of her fellow mage behind her.
"Here's the stuff we've put together, about Rodamant, about the sewer monsters."
"There is also a specific plan of action on it."
Hearing this, Maia and other professionals looked at each other.
"Later, we'll be more familiar with the sewers, this job..."
There are some professionals who can't help but speak out.
In the final analysis, Amber and the others are just new professionals who have come to Lu Gain for less than two days, how can He De take over all the important work?
In particular, the aspect of strategic deployment should be handed over to the homes of professionals.
Maia took the roll of paper without changing her face, glanced at it a few times, and said, "I understand." โ
"Captain Mia?" "Captain Mia?"
Many were surprised.
"However, we cannot afford to hand over all the command to you."
Maia changed her words and stared at Amber, "To a certain extent, we will cooperate with you, but our professional home will still follow the practice of our professional home." โ
The negotiation failed.
Amber was bitter in her heart, this question she had expected for a long time, and Jayhain had also mentioned it.
As a new professional, how can you make such a group of vengeful local professionals obedient?
It's too hard.
"I understand Mr. Maia's approach."
Amber finally nodded, "It's a pity, but it seems that our plans are very different and we have to act separately." โ
"There's no need for that."
Maia shook her head and handed the roll back to Amber in surprise, "You can follow us." โ
The atmosphere was suddenly a little solemn.
Amber frowned without a trace.
If Maia had really looked closely at the scroll, he would have understood that their practices were fundamentally different, and he would not have said this.
She couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
They seem to be coming in good faith, but they don't trust their partners in the slightest.
This may be the reason why they failed in the first place.
Soon, she ended her inner struggle.
Amber blinked, "That's... Well, we'll follow you. โ
In the next moment, most of the more than 80 professionals in the Professionals' Home showed expressions of "it should have been like this".
"Hmm."
Maia nodded, and said no more.
This was also the result he expected.
"Let's go."
He shouted to his companion behind him, and like a charging warrior, he entered the entrance of the passage.
More than eighty professionals followed, entering the pitch-black entrance one after another, and soon disappeared.
"Oh my God."
Senior's head was tilted, his face ugly, "They didn't even think about working with us. โ
"I could feel the barbarian's hidden contempt."
When Seniors was inspecting the blade before, Maia had said this.
"It's very bright, so there's no need to be nervous."
At first glance, it seems like a heart-warming encouragement.
Actually, that's contempt.
Maia treats Seniore as a nervous recruit before the war, and in his eyes, only the timid will repeatedly check their weaponry.
He believes that the truly strong will move forward confidently.
"My mistake."
Amber shook her head and sighed, "I never thought the Professionals Home would be like this... Conceited people. โ
Soon she stopped complaining meaninglessly and returned to the point, "Fix the details of the plan a little, and we'll have to follow them anyway." โ
Seniore glanced at his companions with embarrassed and thoughtful expressions around him, "I hope those professionals have a better plan, otherwise everyone will be affected." โ
Without further ado, they also stepped into the passage.
ยทยทยท
A few wandering Lv11 skeleton warriors turned their heads to look into the darkness somewhere, and there seemed to be footsteps just now.
"Arrows."
A low roar came from above.
Several whistling arrows pierced their heads, and the force that pierced them caused them to retreat one after another, unbalanced.
Figures swept down from mid-air, their ferocious greatsword slashing delicately and sliding at the heads of the skeletal warriors.
Phew.
Rata la rat.
The flickering soul-fire skull rolled to the ground, and was then smashed flat by the giant sword, splattering blood.
"Investigate the monsters in three directions, mainly traces."
After Maia finished handling the skeleton warriors, her expression calmed, "Except for the scouts, the others and I continue to move forward. โ
"Yes."
The footsteps quickly disappeared into the passage.
It didn't take long for Amber and his party to arrive at the intersection of this passage, and with their perception of the aura of the professionals, they quickly judged the direction in which Maia and the others were heading.
"It's supposed to be the passage on the left... They are very fast, almost non-stop. โ
Amber frowned as she spoke.
"These skeletal warriors... Kill in one hit? โ
Seniors leaned down to observe the headless bodies of the skeletal warriors.
"There's also blood spilled here, it must have been shot in the head by some means, causing them to lose their balance, and then slashed them at close range."
"An ordinary sword can't cut off so many heads at the same time, it's mostly a big sword."
Seniore was amazed, "This way of fighting is extremely risky, and it seems that Mia did it himself. โ
"Senior?"
Amber's pupils shrank and she snorted.
She had just heard a very bad voice, perceived by that mysterious soul.
[Hurry up and leave, you are in danger.] ใ
"What?"
Professionals, including Senior, stared at Amber in amazement.
"Quick..."
Amber's words were interrupted by a swift cracking sound, and the latter's face changed drastically, and a red glow flashed sideways.
Rumble!!!
The red glow was faint, but the destructive power was staggering, blasting black holes in the walls behind Amber, rubble flying, and the rest of the professions were on alert.
"Wood."
The voice is hoarse and the tone is heavy.
The monstrous giant lizard suddenly fell from the ceiling, instantly biting the neck of a paladin, dragging him into the darkness with a terrified expression.
All anyone else could hear was the sound of clicking.
"No!"
The surrounding companions screamed and tried to swing the spell, but they were all blocked by the gray scales of the lizard.
Fireballs, frost, none of them worked.
Lizard monsters have good magic resistance.
"Don't move, get together."
Senior's expression was gloomy as he stopped some of the people who wanted to chase him out.
What's going on?
Was the red glow just now a spell?
Also, Why are there lizard monsters?
He cast an inquiring look at Amber, who shook his head slightly.
Seniors couldn't help but clench their teeth.
Seemingly.
It was an accident.
