Chapter 43: Infernal Affairs starred by Great Wisdom
"However, I can fight against a single angel ......"
Ale warned the other mages, "But even if it were any higher angel above the fourth level, with three or four lower angels, it would be very difficult for me to defeat it. There is a high probability that they will be defeated.
"Even the first-level 'healer' has the healing power equivalent to that of the sixth-level psionics. The angels who are classified as the first three levels do not represent the weakness of absolute nature...... It's just because they lack combat power, or they have to be attached to other people. And the angels of the fourth to sixth levels are all individuals with strong combat power.
"If the angels of the upper and lower positions are gathered together, they are not a drag, but a reinforcement to trouble.
"My mentor told me that even the weakest of the 'victims' of the upper rank of angels, if combined with two or three healers and one guardian to form an array of victims, can even fight against two or three times the number of elite mages.
"The most troublesome thing about angels is that the higher angels above the fourth level can 'divide' the lower angels. This is the difference between the higher angels and the lower angels.
"'Dividing the Seal' is a large, temporary, downgraded and downgraded aura of a lower angel. Angels of the sixth level can switch between the angels of the first and fourth levels; The angels of the fifth level can switch from the first to the third level, and the fourth level is the first to the second level. Although the 'adaptability' decreases after forcibly changing the holy name, it can still be used even if it is lowered. In this way, each higher angel can adjust the accompanying lower angel to a state that suits him.
"And the most important thing is that the most hateful 'healer' is the lowest first level. This means that any higher angel can temporarily adjust the lower angel to healer...... The holy rank of healing ability, even if the strength is not enough, it doesn't matter, as long as the number is replenished, it is the same. If they can't be killed once, the angels will soon be able to return to full state as long as they leave the battlefield.
"So, if you see an angel - you remember, be sure to kill the higher angel first. Even if they have the protection of the lower angels, they must kill the higher angels first. β
The mages nodded solemnly.
Although they all knew about the existence of angels, this was also the first time they knew about the way angels fought.
They all have their own mentors......
However, if you want to know this way of fighting, you must first face the angel formation and still survive.
Their mentors obviously don't have that intensity...... Probably hiding in the mage tower on the ground, they escaped the strategic bombardment of the angels.
If it is stronger, it will definitely be sent to the floating tower to be stationed. Those were the first mages to be caught off guard and attacked by the angelic legions...... Only the strongest will be able to escape back to their strongholds on land.
In other words, if the number of angels exceeds double digits, they can make adjustments and temporarily cobble together a battlefield plan with different superior angels as the core.
ββ¦β¦ That's really hard. β
The strangulation voice was low: "This means that if there are enough angels, we will never be able to restrain them. β
"That's why the mentors were defeated."
Ale shook his head: "That's a living war machine. β
"Luckily, we got a batch of therapeutic chips. There are them in ...... We can at least wage a war of attrition with the angels. and not to be easily consumed to death by six or seven angels.
"According to the barber, as long as we can hold on, the population will start to become war-weary. Companies also clamp down on churches...... Time is on our side. β
Unlike the mages who grew up savagely, the Angel was designed from the ground up with legion combat in mind.
As long as the plural angels gather together, the increase in combat power will be doubled.
But when mages and mages gather together, their abilities are either duplicated, uncoordinated, and may even interfere with each other......
This is the fundamental reason why the barber thinks that the lower town cannot fight the angel army.
ββ¦β¦ Barber, you've got a good brain. You say, is there such a possibility......"
Labyrinth touched his smooth chin and asked the barber, "This batch of treatment chips was actually deliberately given to us by the company?"
"There are many mages at the top of the company who have been through that war and know that the most terrible thing about angels is the war of attrition.
"So these chips weren't actually looted by us, but they deliberately gave them to us...... The purpose is to hold the church back. β
When the barber heard this, he almost burst out laughing.
I see......
- This is the "third layer" that the company is waiting for.
The chips are very valuable and practical and are distributed against the angels, which is the first layer.
Some people realize that this chip came too easily, and wonder if this is some kind of conspiracy, this is the second layer.
Then when someone realized that the company knew that the core tactic of the angels was a war of attrition, and they needed mages to balance the church, they deliberately gave them chips, which was the third layer.
Then came Kamalse's fourth plan: the chip was passive and the fundamental purpose was to exterminate the living forces in the lower city and force Tovatus to stop fighting against the inferior.
Even Tovatus himself didn't know about it.
If there was no barber, the meeting would have been layered on top of each other according to his idea.
Just wait for a big clever person to jump out and say the idea of the third layer, Kamalse's conspiracy will succeed.
As a result, Kamalse did not guess at all, the appearance of the "barber" disrupted all his plans, and the direction of the meeting was completely biased towards "how to fight the angels".
And at this time, the "labyrinth" still went around in a circle and threw out the third layer of arguments.
It's just too abrupt.
- This "labyrinth" is either really a solid big clever, or it is a nail that Kamalser has driven down!
And it's not very smart nails.
The ale's eyes moved just now...... The barber believed, and she was aware of the suspicions.
With the support of the ale, the barber followed his words and continued: "But what I just said is very clear.
"Now that the Board of Directors has entrusted Tovatus with this, let's fall into the trap of 'fighting the Church'...... This means that the value of the lower city is about to run out. Will they still have the props that they have prepared for us to use against the angels in the event that we see through their schemes?
"The company has already moved to kill, and it is only a matter of time before they do it. How could you choose a rival at this time?
"Or ...... Do you think the board was aware from the outset that this plan could fail, so it prepared for it? β
The last sentence of the barber is simply murderous.
He said this plainly, "Do you think I'm a spy that the company broke into" and gain everyone's trust by cracking the conspiracy brought by the discordants?
β¦β¦ Although the truth is true.
But that sounds stupid.
Because without the barber, the lower city would have been wiped out.
The Council doesn't have to go around in circles and risk a lot more for no reason to achieve the same goal.
As Tovatus says, the company's core need is "efficiency".
"Labyrinth" guessed what the barber meant, and of course did not dare to admit it.
He waved his hand again and again, showing a wry smile: "Why, I said, 'Is there such a possibility'...... Now it seems that I may have guessed wrong. Then let's just say nothing. β
And at the moment when the labyrinth said this.
The barber was immediately sure that the labyrinth must be a spy for the board!
Because the labyrinth looks at things from the wrong angle.
If he was just a clever person who occasionally thought of this layer, when Russell jumped out and questioned it...... Instead of saying, "Just in case, just destroy the chips," at least we have to continue to speculate about "whether these chips will be used to destroy us in the future or something."
But he didn't say anything.
It is better to let yourself be suspected by other mages than to continue to analyze and reveal some key information.
This is already very obvious.
The barber thought for a moment.
The spies who came in from the Tianen Group...... To stay or not to stay?
He quickly determined the only and inevitable answer.
- Do not stay.
I'm enough.
So the barber spoke directly, blocking the other party's circuitous path: "But I thought about it, what the maze brothers said is also possible." It's just that he may have guessed the wrong angle......
"If we say, these chips are indeed deliberately given to us by the company. But they have already been manipulated by the company, and as long as they have been used, they will be located by the company's network?
"In this way, these chips can not only help us fight against angels, but also come in handy to help the company when the company destroys us in the future."
"βThe barber was right."
The first to respond, not strangulation, but ale.
She replied dryly: "Just in case, we'd better destroy this batch of chips." β
The person who specifically proposed "Angels are the best at attrition warfare, so we need healing" was the first to propose "It's better to destroy this batch of chips".
The signal is very clear.
The people present, while they may not be very smart, are certainly not stupid.
Including fully cooked...... All the mages present cast a meaningful gaze on the "Labyrinth".
Labyrinth's eyes were covered with black cloth and he couldn't see his specific expression, but he suddenly fell silent.
Maybe it's silence out of caution, or maybe it's not knowing what to say...... Maybe he knew it was useless for him to say anything.
Although there is no evidence, it is not certain...... Or, in other words, before the barber, the discordant, or the ale speak, no one else is willing to reveal the secret first.
But the moment he jumped out to talk to the barber...... His disguise was easily broken by the other party.
At this moment, the labyrinth has permanently lost the trust of others. He will be isolated by the other mages forever...... If he doesn't leave Downtown, he might die in the streets one day.
