Chapter 149: Champagne at Half Hour, Isn't It?
Lloyd's called to inform Eivers that the time of the attack had been set.
The hours are Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
It's Monday afternoon, which means the attack will be at midnight tomorrow.
Even the list and configuration of the attackers, York's lawyer listed it for Ivus.
There are a total of four Demon Scholars, two third-level and two second-level. They each brought two demon dogs, a whipping demon and a blade demon.
This lineup...... It can only be said that it is quite classic.
The Whiplash Demon is a regular demon breed, also known to players as the "Overwatch". It's equivalent to the devil's BUFF machine.,Will continue to give all the demons around you all kinds of reinforcements.,But it's very vulnerable.。 It's usually protected by the demons of the legal system.
The Demon Dog is the second child of the original copy of the Pelican Bar, a man-made demon created by demon scholars. It is only about the strength of the second energy level, and the advantage is that the attack frequency is high, the desire to attack is strong, and the fight is deadly. Therefore, it is best for the demon dog to start in seconds, otherwise it will be very troublesome to stick and fight.
The only thing that was difficult to deal with was the Blade Demon.
It's also a pure melee demon with no bells and whistles for teleportation. There are no control skills or ranged attacks, but they are simply fast and highly skilled in martial arts - the Blade Demon is the kind of demon who is obsessed with swordsmanship, kills people with impunity, or challenges the strong and brutally kills the opponent and is transformed into a demon after death.
As a demon that directly transforms the human soul, it is also branded with great sins.
It's just that the Blade Demon is weaker than other demons with the Great Sin Brand, and it is relatively easy to control. That's why it's not classified as a high-ranking demon.
Over the years, with the development of the times, there have been few blade demons. The last Blade Demons were born hundreds of years ago.
Judging from the Dao Path ability alone, the Blade Demon is probably only equivalent to a third-level melee transcendent. However, its superb combat skills and rich combat experience have increased its threat level in frontal combat by at least one level.
The performance in the game is that the Blade Demon is the only one who can speed and slow the knife among all the lower demons, and even all the illusions encountered in the first forty levels. The intervals between its combos are variable, and it changes moves quickly - it has the combat IQ that it can look for when it sees a tumbling move.
And it will also consciously fight for weaknesses. Blade Demon can enchant his weapon with a variety of elemental damage, and choose the weakest resistance to attack his hateful target.
Because of this, the tumbling is almost ineffective against it, and there is a high probability that the parry will not be able to parry. And its desire to chase is very strong, and it is almost impossible for players to be chased and cut by it to distance themselves to receive healing from the Path of Devotion. The only downside is that it is a dead hate, and once it targets someone, it will never switch to hatred targets.
If you want to fight the Blade Demon, you just bring a control skill, and then gather fire to quickly kill it. The more you delay, the easier it is to get into trouble.
Then the four Demon Scholars, none of them are of high rank, all of them are crispy, and they don't have a home-field advantage. But if you leave it alone, if they shoot a ritual stake on the spot and output it, the damage is still quite high.
Their lineup highlights a "brother with his own ability". It's a very classic NPC team, and you don't have a disruptive and protective demon with it, and you start to rush directly to the face.
The beginning of the change of home belongs to yes.
Although there is basically no joint defense ability between them, because each demon is the type of "you'd better gather fire and kill it first", it is a bit troublesome to combine them. Because if you kill anyone, everyone else can exert their strength.
Although they are the fate of the strong, it is the fate of a skill to shoot down and brush the burp. But for Aihuas, who only has the first energy level on the surface, this is almost a dead end of "even if you know, you can't crack it".
"Okay, can I solve it myself?"
Ivas asked, "What do you want me to do with this kind of lineup?" ”
"Don't be angry, Mr. Moriarty......"
York on the other end of the phone laughed wryly, and his voice was a little trembling.
Ivus seemed to be able to see from his tone that he was wiping his sweat with a handkerchief: "That's why I can't contact you, so I'm in such a hurry—we're afraid that you will be killed by accident!"
"But it can't be helped. Originally, Vice President Boca really only wanted to send a few second-level demon scholars to attack you. He gave two reasons, one was to 'keep the attack down, to prevent Avalon's vigilance from rebounding and to make the authorities look down on us', and to say that 'the association wants to drain our strength and deliberately send our people to death, and we need to preserve it'. ”
"Isn't that good?"
Ivus asked rhetorically, "Is that okay with what he said?" ”
"yes, I think it's okay too...... But the president stopped him.
"The president said that your identity is delicate and crucial, so the attack against you, no matter how small, is a big event, and there is no way to ease Avalon's vigilance by reducing the intensity of the attacker, so Mr. Boca's reason is not valid; And many people know that you have joined Lloyd's, and if you encounter the all-out assassination of the Demon Scholar at this time, you can instead use a smoke bomb to confuse the investigators of Avalon, temporarily separate Lloyd's from the Noble Red Society, and buy us time. ”
York's lawyer did his best to repeat the words of the two executives: "The final vote was ...... There are significantly more supporters on the president's side.
"What Vice President Boca means is that you might as well find some help. If you really can't do it, you don't have to keep your hands...... Your self-preservation is your first goal. ”
Ivus snorted, smacked his lips, and said nothing.
This gentleman is quite eloquent.
He meant to throw Ivas out as an outcast.
If Ivasse, as a member of Lloyd's on the surface, continues to be attacked by the Noble Red Society, then it can be proved that Lloyd's and the association are not too closely related.
Lloyd's are all businessmen.
Merchants don't have much faith, they are more timid and like to protect themselves. But at the same time, they prefer more aggressive, higher-yielding strategies.
Therefore, in the case of what he said, it is impossible for others to agree with the decision of the vice president of Boca from an objective point of view.
As the head of the Moriarty family, Ivas does indeed have any attack that could provoke Avalon's full counterattack - and in this sense, the president is directly rejecting Boca's "heroic plan".
Compared with "preserving strength under the oppression of associations" and "directly playing an anti-logic basis to prove that Lloyd's may have nothing to do with the noble red", the obvious gains are more stable, but lower.
He knew very well the personalities of the other top leaders of Lloyd's. Therefore, the reasons he gave were more convincing than those of Boca's vice president.
Good guy, is the infighting so bad?
The friendly damage they inflicted on each other was even much greater than the damage inflicted on them by the Inspectorate......
Ewass is a serious member of Lloyd's.
Mr. President, this is not at all afraid that Ivas will be forced to rebel against the water?
Ivus narrowed his eyes, lost in thought.
…… Unless, he was already planning to withdraw from Lloyd's. Because he didn't respond to Vice President Boca's second question, which meant that he was going to end his wall-riding state and completely stand on the side of the Noble Red Society.
On the other hand, the actions of the Noble Red Society were so bold that they were forced to attack Ehuath...... It may not be that there is no idea of letting the authorities deal with Lloyd's for them.
It is worthy of being an organization that transcends the path, and the infighting is powerful.
Before Avalon got his hands on it, he was already fighting over how to distribute it.
It was because Ivas was extremely valuable that the president couldn't bear it. His idea of "playing an anti-logic" is essentially a cover. What he really has to do is to keep himself from being bitten by Lloyd's.
If Ivas turns against the water, then Lloyd's will be dragged into the water by Ivus, and he can jump to the noble red; If Ivas doesn't turn against the water, then he is suppressing the faction of Vice President Boca. The so-called heresy is more hateful than the infidels, and for Mr. President, Vice President Boca, who has a clear banner and a new faction, is a heretic in his eyes.
In this sense, he is not a pure transcendent.
This generation of "Lloyd's" has a strong sense of authoritarianism and consciously maintains its power.
This may be the reason why he did not firmly join the noble red in the first place, but still put half his foot on Lloyd's.
It's ridiculous. An ambitious, power-hungry businessman......
But it is precisely because of the existence of such people that Lloyd's covenant with the noble red has a flaw.
You like to open champagne in the middle of the time, don't you?
Okay, I'll give you a few more bottles.
"I see...... You don't have to keep your hands, right? ”
After the silence, Ivus replied briefly.
Then he ignored the rambling words of York's lawyer and hung up the phone. Make a look like you're angry.
But in reality, Ivas was completely lifeless.
Instead, the corners of his mouth rose, and he was in a happy mood: "The opportunity has finally come." ”
"Is it the fake death plan I mentioned earlier?"
Yulia, who had been holding her breath and motionless next to her, asked.
She was a little worried: "Is it really okay?" ”
"Trust me, Yuri. I don't do anything unplanned. ”
Ivas thought for a moment and slightly modified his original plan: "I'll invite Princess Isabel over tomorrow and tell her that you're going to enroll in the school - your grades are absolutely sufficient, but you need an extra exam."
"I'll let her come in the afternoon, and you'll pester, saying you're going to follow her to the palace, so you won't be in danger. Yuri is so cute, Her Royal Highness will definitely like it. ”
"But...... What about the Assassins at night? ”
Yulia thought clearly: "Wait for the evening, I'll clamore to come back...... And then escorted back by the palace guards? ”
"No, you don't."
Ivas smiled mildly and said softly, "I can solve it myself." Didn't you already give me your little butterfly? It will protect me for you. ”
"Me and Miss Shadow Fiend will too."
Lily added on the sidelines, "After this, we may be missing for a while. Miss Yulia remembered not to show her flaws. ”
Yulia nodded seriously: "I will try." ”
- Good luck.
Ivus narrowed his eyes like a fox and looked out the window.
If the president hadn't been so greedy, his plan would have been a bit flawed.
And now, the last hole in the Ivas plan has been filled by Mr. President's own greed and selfish desires.
"Aleister...... I'm going to say hello to Vice President Boca for you. ”
He chanted softly, the corners of his mouth raised, and his voice was as soft as chewing candy.
Update meow~
Tomorrow is the little butterfly's debut-
I decided not to ask for leave, and then I went to play Bode 3 after the code was finished!
