Chapter 554 Interception
‘Silly woman, you react very quickly. ’
‘Ugly abandoned house, each other. '
The two of them extended cordial greetings to each other, then closed the friends bar at the same time, and casually issued the first clear order to the elite coalition forces following them——
"Count the number of people in the current area, one minute."
...
At the same time, Mithril City, a loft on West Street
"It seems that the situation has been stabilized."
Croil Lumina made no sound He squatted on the railing of the terrace and murmured in a low voice. The face behind the mask that had been sullen since a few hours ago finally softened. Then he unbuttoned the top button of the collar and grew out tone.
The young dark elf, who had changed out of the bard's standard robe, slowly stood up and changed into a more cool-looking posture, stepping on the slender railing with his hands behind his back. The collar of this luxurious cloak is decorated with a large number of black feathers and looks expensive. The hem is extra wide. He wears a loose corset robe, a pair of emerald rings on the index fingers and thumbs of both hands, a finger glove extending out of a half-sharp blade on the middle finger of his right hand, and a leather mask with a long beak on his face. At first glance, it looks quite similar to the 'Beak Doctor' who was active in Europe during the Middle Ages in the real world.
"It seems that my worries are in vain..."
With the alchemy tool on his face, Crowe, who was 'directly connected' to eleven ravens at the same time, snorted in annoyance and monitored him from a distance. Dozens of miles away, the fierce battlefield started to heat up from the beginning and continued to heat up, and now it was almost burning to death.
With the perspective of more than a dozen ravens at the same time, Crowe has almost no surveillance blind spots. He can see much more clearly than ordinary griffon knights and magicians. Moreover, as long as he does not meet Mo Tan who likes to fight Game people rarely encounter safety problems. After all, few people deliberately target birds in the sky on a battlefield of this level, and fluid magic, arrows, etc. are also easy to avoid, as long as they are not Going to death is definitely an extremely safe and comfortable investigation method.
So Crow watched the live broadcast in Mithril City, and was even fully prepared, planning to rush to the battlefield for close reconnaissance at any time after the 'Raven Reconnaissance' was counterattacked. However, because the lord The reason why neither the coalition forces nor the Marshall Army took the birds in the sky seriously was why he was still staying comfortably in the city until now.
The battle situation has become increasingly clear...
At this moment, more than 10,000 people have been killed on both sides, and the number of seriously injured people has even doubled. Both the legions of the eight lords and the soldiers under Marshall's command are all fighting together in a mess. The so-called 'front line' 'Almost no longer exists. Except for the relatively stable eastern area of the main battlefield where the Violet Family and Crystal Wolf Family are located, almost all other places have become war zones. If you look carefully, almost every place is in extreme chaos. .
But if you ignore the local war zones and look at it from an overall perspective, the situation is surprisingly clear and easy to understand, and this is the 'war' that conforms to the current world view. In a world where most soldiers have extraordinary powers, Under such circumstances, it is difficult for most commanders to keep their exchanges, formations, advance and retreat in an orderly manner after the war. As a commander, as long as he ensures that the overall situation is always under his control, the soldiers under his command can clearly and It is enough to resolutely implement strategic intentions. As for whether the battlefield is chaotic or not, it does not matter at all.
So we can also see from the side how different the 'Black Van' is who was able to make all the forces under the joint forces orderly and integrated in Misha County, even though he occupies a Mutants do not have the advantage of brains, but the 'talent' of being able to command every warrior, every profession, and even every person with a different personality is still terrifying.
Obviously, neither the commanders of the three Marshallese armies nor the double-digit commanders of the Lords Alliance can do this, and they do not need to do this. degree.
Under Crowe's current 'compound eye perspective', the strategic intentions of the Lords Alliance have always been very clear. Even if he is a layman in the military, he can still make the conclusion after watching it for so long. They are trying to use tug of war to gradually wear down the opponent. It is a reliable judgment to use the effective strength of the enemy to further expand its numerical advantage and to crush the enemy like a snowball.
As for the Marshall's three major armies, because of their numbers, tacit understanding, and unified affiliation, they should clearly have advantages over the lords' coalition in terms of flexibility and execution, but they are always in a passive resistance. It is true that they have advantages in terms of numbers. Huge disadvantage, but maintaining a ring formation with the main purpose of defense can only bring themselves closer to failure. As a result, whether it is the Buffy Sword Knights, the Ice Veil Mage Group, or the Mercury Guard, they have never been able to defeat the enemy. The formation has not changed since the beginning of the war, which makes Crowe very concerned.
Under the overlooking observation from multiple perspectives, the lord coalition at this moment is like a ferocious falcon, flapping its wings constantly, using its long, biting beak, The base of the wings, the biting center of the wings, and the biting wing tips tear at the enemy.
And their enemy is like a crab. The Buffy Sword Knights with double claws rush left and right, trying to relieve the pressure directly in front of them as much as possible. Their bodies are made up of Mercury Guards and Ice Curtain. The former is spread out like an iron wall to guard the casters behind them, while the latter is constantly blessing the repulsed knights and the guardians nearby, and summons a large number of magicians out of thin air through joint casting. The solid ice wall and water wave shield strengthened the defense line, but there was not much desire to attack.
As for those cultists with strange powers that worried Crowe the most, they turned into other pairs of crab legs, constantly harassing the coalition of lords like a lot of tentacles. Their aggressiveness was more than three The regular legion is much stronger. Not only does it have the basic strength of at least a mid-level professional, but it can also use the unpredictable 'Whisper'. If it weren't for the large number of 'Chorus' prepared by Mo Tan in advance, it has a very strategic interference value. , without the slightest preparation, those warriors who were the wings of the Violet Eagle Formation were probably killed more than half.
But no matter what, the offensive of these people was finally contained. These cultists who were already mentally ill were given a splitting headache by a large number of broken throats as soon as they came up. The power of 'whispering' in his body cannot be exerted stably when he is upset. Not only that, but there are also many people who are so annoyed by the singing that they subconsciously have the idea of 'It's so unpleasant! I really want to die! ’ People who were ‘whispered’ by themselves threw themselves into the street.
"Is there a near miss...?"
After watching for a few more minutes, Crowe, who concluded that the victory of the lord coalition forces was certain, took off his cloak and threw it on the wooden chair in the room, and then took off his cloak again. With bladed finger cots, he put his hands behind his head and slowly unwrapped the crow mask, muttering with lingering fear: "If this happens, that damn Cordoba... No, that damn Anthony Dabbs will help me instead." Give me a hand so that I won't leak the information... Wait! What is that!"
His hands froze in the air, staring intently. The main perspective of Raven 3, which inadvertently passed by the edge of the battlefield, showed a look of horror: "When did that strong man who looked like a... magic puppet... or an engineering puppet rush over!?"
……
At the same time, game time AM11:27
[Quinn should be dead. 】
Gawen put away his weapon and concentrated on galloping on the battlefield. He calculated the time for a moment, then turned to the members of the assassination group who had more than a hundred people left behind him and shouted in a low voice: "Speed up, even if they are We have transferred some of the strong men in our control area to the south. After Quinn's death, there is a high chance that our plan will be exposed. We need to hurry up and continue to confuse the surrounding enemies with whispers. Human cognition!"
"Yes."
Everyone responded in unison, and dozens of high-level cultists on the periphery of the team lowered their heads and kept muttering something. With waves of almost silent 'whispers', more and more Lord Alliance soldiers around seemed to ignore them, turning a blind eye to this group of people who were full of strange atmosphere.
Although these warriors belonging to various families clearly saw such a group of people rushing past their eyes, they also clearly saw the latter's strange costumes, strange actions, and weird behavior. Even though they have the temperament and even the emblem of the Marshall family, they subconsciously regard each other as friendly forces for the first time, a group of friendly forces whose behavior seems quite strange, but is extremely reasonable.
This is the power of the high-level Whispering cultists, and it is also the source of Gawen's confidence in this assassination plan.
However, this kind of 'whisper' with a wide-area interference effect can be broken in many ways, such as people with super mental power and always on guard, Crow's kind of people who are beyond distance and use raven as a medium. Observers, people like Cordoba who are immune for some reason, and any professional whose strength is at a high level or above. Although the above sentence seems a bit strange after adding the last condition, the fact is that the four types without and including Cordoba are all existences that are very likely to be unaffected, and The last condition of 'high-level professional' does not mean that as long as you are a high-level professional, you will not be affected, but that people who are below high-level and do not meet the first four conditions cannot detect the clues on their own. Only those with advanced levels and above have the opportunity to eliminate the interference of whispers by their own strength.
And how likely is it for an ordinary high-level powerhouse to get rid of ‘Whispering’?
The difficulty is probably similar to the difficulty when we realize that we are dreaming while dreaming, and successfully wake up from the dream and return to reality by relying on rational thinking and willpower.
It sounds like that's the case, but if you think about it carefully, comparing the total number of dreams we have to the number of times we realize we are dreaming and find out the specific number of subjective awakenings, this ratio is actually very exaggerated.
So in principle, it is possible that the group of assassins headed by Gavin will not be discovered until after the assassination is successful. The success rate of their operation is ridiculously high. If Dantès has If you cooperate with the Hussein family, the possibility of success is simply 10%.
However, Gavin did not take it lightly, so she planned the plan from the beginning on the premise that 'Dantes and the Hussein family would not cooperate, and the most vigilant servants around the emperor would decipher the whispers on their own' , she prepared more than one set of plans, and arranged more than three possible contingency measures and corresponding tasks for everyone, doing the best possible.
However...
"Unified and moving north in one minute."
Futaba clapped his hands vigorously, looked around vigilantly, and without looking back, ordered to the several rangers standing behind him and the gryphon knights hovering in the air: "Before that, take a final inventory of the people in the current area. Number of people."
"Yes, ma'am!"
...
Half a minute later
"About four hundred and sixty people"< br>
"About four hundred and fifty people, ma'am."
"More than four hundred people, ma'am."
The three rangers with the best eyesight and good math were the first to come to the conclusion, and Reported loudly.
"About four hundred and fifty people, that's right..."
Futaba, who was multitasking and controlled several mage eyes at the same time, was relieved and quite tired after the answer was confirmed. He waved his little hand: "Okay, now everyone is ready... wait a minute!"
The girl who was always on high alert was shocked, and then quickly opened her friend list, and found a string of numbers in the chat history with 'Tan Mo' - 'Seventeen, 270'
The sender is myself. The sending time shown above is four minutes ago, probably when I first arrived in this area.
[The seventeenth people count, about 270 people, four minutes ago...]
[The eighteenth people count, about 450 people, half a minute Before...]
[In about two hundred seconds, apart from these temporary horses, there were nearly two hundred people nearby? ! 】
"Damn it! Everyone is ready to fight!"
Futaba yelled angrily, opened the friend bar, quickly sent the current location to Mo Tan and added three exclamation marks, and then hit the spot. He was startled, and half a second later he suddenly noticed a swordsman with the Marshall emblem printed on his shoulder armor, as well as a large number of very unfamiliar-looking characters.
"What..."
Before Rubeus, who was standing behind her, could react, he saw two elemental dragon heads, one ice and one fire, rising from the ground, dragging their long tails. Flame and ice marks rolled towards the 'friendly forces' not far away, and they suddenly screamed in surprise.
Seven or eight assassins who were caught off guard flew more than 20 meters in a burst of explosions. The two ice and fire dragon heads that fused and exploded very close to each other directly caused them to lose their combat effectiveness, including two powerful ones. A high-level Whispering Cultist who has a firm victory over Futaba and is not afraid of noise interference.
This is not over yet!
"Don't be so stunned! Those are the ones who sneaked in to assassinate old Clairvaux. Look at my spell trajectory! Anyone nearby who doesn't wear a badge, whose identity can't be identified, and who whispers BB will tell you at a glance. Those who are not good people and those who are ugly will all be rushed forward and hacked to death! !”
After screaming to those who were disturbed by the whispers, the girl raised her two small hands with a grin, and condensed a blue, diameter-shaped ball in the air above her head. A forty centimeter energy ball that is getting bigger and bigger!
“Vitality Bomb!”
551: The End
Innocence Academy (1)
As we all know, the relationship between Tan Mo, the music class representative, and Futaba, the computer class representative, is very bad, but they secretly run a company called "Little Black Sheep" together. In the online store, you can see photos of Ji Xiaoge, the campus beauty and deputy squad leader’s beautiful sleeping face (sleeping in class), and photos of Dave, the sports committee member of Class 7, having his head stuffed into the toilet on the third floor. There are all the videos of the whole process in the bucket. The internship instructor of the student union, Xiu Bresn, has been investigating this matter since last semester, but there has been no result. However, there are also rumors that Teacher Xiu is actually from the 'Little Black Sheep' online store. One of the partners, because except for him, almost no one had the opportunity to get a photo of the student union president, Mo, dozing off in the office on the eve of the cultural festival. (PS: What’s more worth mentioning is that the day after the low-definition watermarked photo was uploaded to the Little Black Sheep online store, Teacher Xiu took sick leave, and the photo was removed from the store at noon the next day, causing controversy. Strong dissatisfaction from a large number of female classmates)
