435 Meetings that favor strategy

However, most of the relics of ancient magical civilizations left to the present day contain some things that even modern powerhouses find extremely tricky.

Whether it's a deadly trap or a powerful defense mechanism, many ancient ruins have such a power, just like ancient tombs, which usually take into account the means of dealing with people when they are invaded.

Therefore, when discovering ancient ruins, it is often necessary to carefully arrange the exploration plan, otherwise even if there are many good things in the ruins, if you can't bring them out, it will be in vain.

For this reason, it is necessary to hold a pre-exploration combat meeting.

This is the same as exploring the dungeon, the Loki clan will discuss countermeasures and action plans again and again before the expedition, especially after reaching the 50th floor, as the leader of the group, Finn is eager to instill all the things he thinks of to the people in the clan, and discuss multiple sets of action plans, I am beautiful about this: "In the dungeon, it is not too cautious."

Thanks to this, when Raven, Nebold, Katz and the others began to discuss on the spot and hold a combat meeting, Rieger, who was still a little careless, listened to it and felt a little nostalgic.

「..... Why do you keep thinking about the family lately?"

When he reacted, Li Ge had already smiled bitterly like this for a while.

It seems that I have to find a time to go back, otherwise it will not be a matter if I miss it all the time.

Thinking so, Rieg listened to the meeting of Raven and the others. The first thing they mentioned was the giant guards.

Nebord and the others also saw the two giant guards standing at the gate of the city, but they always thought they were two unusually realistic statues, until Raven mentioned it, and they didn't know that they could move.

"A giant guarding an ancient city?" Nepotar was a little more interested and asked, "Is it an alchemy doll?" Or is it the big gorem?"

"I don't know, it's not a normal creature anyway." Raven shook his head and said, "The giant that the Thunder Sword Saint and I encountered was a little smaller than the two guarding the gate, but the two should be the same existence, and they may attack us.... No, since we're guards, if we want to go in, we must pass each other's pass, right?"

Rieger agrees with this.

He'd already tried, and even if he used his flying magic to cross the gates and fly straight into the city, the two giant guards would react violently.

They can't fly, but they can throw stone spears in their hands, and even boulders, so it would be naïve to think that they won't be attacked without passing through the gates.

Their sensory systems are also different from those of living beings, and whether Rig uses [Complete Agnostic] to sneak past or [Advanced Teleportation] to enter the city, the two giants will immediately rush towards him.

In this way, if you want to enter that ancient city, you must defeat the two giant guards.

The crowd understood this and began to ask questions.

"How strong are those two giant guards?"

Nepherd asked.

"I don't know." Raven still shook his head and said, "However, the giant we encountered is very strong, even if Lei Guang and I shot together, it still took a little time to solve it."

"It took a little time for both of you to shoot together?" Axel muttered, "That's really strong."

The rest of the people also looked solemn.

The Giants are very strong, and Rieg agrees with that.

If nothing else, let's just say that the giant that Rig and Raven encountered, if only the two abilities of "strength" and "durability" were concerned, it might be above the current Rieger.

In other words, the giant's "strength" and "durability" are at the level of Lv.7, and they are still considered extremely strong levels in Lv.7.

However, the giant's "dexterity" and "agility" are on the low side, not to mention the Lv.6 level, or even the Lv.5 level.

So, the giant will be Rigg

It was easy to fly a kite because it was too bulky.

In the face of such a bulky enemy, as long as you don't get close to it and don't get hit by it, even a Lv.6 can rely on grinding blood little by little to consume the opponent.

But this Lv.6 must be prepared with medicines, not only high-level elixirs, depending on the situation, even magic elixirs must be brought, or even ten thousand elixirs, so that it is possible to grind the giant to death after fighting for most of the day.

In addition, this Lv.6 must also use at least first-level special weapons, otherwise it will not be able to cut the giant at all.

Riege unconsciously shifted his thinking towards the dungeon strategy of the wrong world.

And the basis for Rige's thinking is that the giant he has faced, not the two giants who are guarding the door.

Those two giants knew at a glance that they were stronger than the previous giants, and the nearly ten-meter-tall body was really oppressive, if that size was not an ornament, it was conceivable that Lv.6 would definitely not be able to deal with those two giants.

Not to mention, there are more than just two giants guarding this ancient ruin.

"The knight who was in charge of scouting has returned." Digordo said, "According to their report, the result of using magic to scout the ancient ruins is that there seem to be more giant guards inside, and there are even some places that exude vague magical fluctuations, and I am afraid that there are some magical traps operating in the city."

"Where's the quantity?" Raven asked calmly, "What is the number of Giant Guards?"

"No less than sixty." Diggordo reported, "That's the amount that can be spotted, and there are still places in the city that can't be peeked at with magic, especially a temple in the heart that not only has rejuvenated all the reconnaissance magic, but also opened up a very high-level magical enchantment."

"Temple?" Axel was amazed and said, "Is there a temple in the center of the city, and not some administrative body?"

"That's right." Diagodo was very sure, "The knight in charge of the reconnaissance said that they did not see any buildings similar to the mansions of the administrative institutions or the nobles, and the only building that was really different was the temple, and the others were basically some private houses."

"Is that so?" Nebourd said thoughtfully, "It seems likely that this city was once part of a country with very deep religious beliefs."

"Is it a city left over by a state where divine power is above royal power?" Raven nodded, and said, "I've heard that some ancient ruins belong to this type."

"In that case, the temple is probably the best thing to explore in this city." Kaz finally spoke, "Since the rest of the place is all private houses, it is probably not worth exploring."

"Well, the first target is the temple in the center of the city." Raven agreed, but added, "However, at least sixty giant guards are wandering around the city, and this combat force is really a bit difficult to deal with."

As a border marquis, the Mepros family naturally has no shortage of combat power.

Not to mention the Kingdom Knights and the army sent here by the Kingdom and handed over to Raven for command, the scale of the Knights under the command of the Mepros family itself is not small at all.

According to the rules of the kingdom, the marquis can form a private knight group with a number of 700 people for the purpose of maintaining the combat power of the territory, and the Mepros family has the heavy responsibility of guarding the border because it is a border marquis's family, and it is the same as the Franzel family with a strategic magician, and it is allowed to be incorporated into another 100 people by exception, and the knight group with the number of 800 people can be formed.

The 100 people who were included in this exception were not ordinary swordsmen, but magicians.

Because magic can play a huge role on the battlefield and can be used as an important military force, no matter what country it is, magicians are not allowed to be recruited by nobles in large quantities.

Magicians can basically only be recruited by the state units in large numbers, either to enter the royal palace as court magicians, or to be incorporated into the magic guide corps, and then to enter various important fields led by the state to take up positions, such as research institutes that study magic

, the Armed Forces Department, which develops magic items, or a magic academy like Spliller Academy, etc., and is not allowed to work in the private sphere.

In view of this, whether it is the highest-ranking duke or the lowest-ranking baron, there are no magicians in the knights formed under their command.

Of course, this refers to a large number of co-optations, and if only two or three magicians are recruited into the house as offerings, or if someone from a trading house recruits a limited number of structural magicians to help produce magic items for goods, then it is still no problem.

But if you want to recruit, recruit, and buy a large number of magicians like forming a knight order, it will be a proper ban, and the state will not allow it.

However, noble families like the Mepros who need to sit on the border and need to go to war will be specially allowed to have a part of the mage's collection rights.

To sum up, out of the 800 knights under the command of the Mepros family, 100 are magicians.

And this time, from Bezaré to the body of the underground demonic beast Yarakulon, there are one hundred and twenty knights of the Mepros family who have joined Raven.

One hundred of them were swordsmen, and twenty were magicians, which was more numerous than the giant guards in the ancient cities, but there was no doubt that the latter had the advantage in terms of combat power.

Li Ge glanced at these knights and roughly judged their strength.

These knights are probably the elite of the knights under the command of the Mepros family, and they all exude a good atmosphere, and in terms of rank, I'm afraid they are all Lv.4.

"One hundred and twenty Lv.4 knights?"

This force, trying to deal with about sixty giant guards, is indeed a bit reluctant.
