Chapter 51 Everyone shows their special abilities
Most of the team that followed Pett were composed of mages with fragile physiques.
He is not good at confronting the bloodfang gangsters head-on.
The strength of these ordinary members of the Blood Fang Gang mainly lies in their powerful and heavy attacks, plus they are more durable.
However, their movements are not very agile, but their physical strength - commonly known as their ability to resist attacks - has been greatly improved.
So Pate used his brains and came up with this simple and practical tactic of "putting on sacks, catching missiles and flooding them".
Rely on [Status Display] to first identify the Bloodtooth Gang members who are alone on the road.
Don't rush to take action, but follow him all the way and wait for the other party to commit a crime.
If you just defeat it directly, you can only get the basic defeat reward. If you want to get the justice points to prevent crime, you need to have conclusive evidence.
As the saying goes, play the long game to catch the big fish.
When they seize the opportunity, the team led by Peter will not try to get close. Instead, he and Gale will use the [Mage's Hand] trick to carry a sack and hit people!
The Mage's Hand is an arcane structure that is completely suspended in the air. It moves silently and is difficult to be noticed. It perfectly meets the concealment requirements of sack tactics.
Then, there was a volley of [Arcane Missiles] from the mage team!
A dozen [Arcane Missiles] were fired at them, and even those with level 2 physical strength would be stumbled, let alone ordinary members of the Blood Fang Gang who only had level 1 strength.
Such tactics can only be used by Novin's followers at this stage.
The reason is simple.
If it were anyone else, no one would spend a lot of money to hire a dozen level 1 mages just to let them release [Arcane Missiles]!
A true mage can provide all-round help to a team and is an all-round talent.
Up to attack magic like fireball.
Down to life magic such as meal making.
It is a serious waste to let a mage use his limited spell slots every day to release [Arcane Missile] to deal with the enemy's miscellaneous soldiers.
Every spell slot of a traditional mage is valuable.
Of course, things are different for Novin's followers.
There are no spell slot restrictions, and there is no need to worry about using magic;
Moreover, these believers who choose the mage route now basically only know the magic of [Arcane Missile], and they have not had time to learn other magic.
Extremely biased.
This kind of partiality is working wonders now.
Pett gave full play to the characteristics of the mages of the seeking knowledge sect:
There is justice in numbers!
Quantity is truth!
The sack is used to temporarily control the opponent, making him temporarily unable to resist.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of magic saturation bombings!
Since you are partial to a subject, you should make the most of the characteristics of a partial subject!
Following this process, there are almost no shortcomings except that you have to rest for a while to restore your mental strength after each action.
Compared to Brandon's idiot tactics that only know head-on confrontation and punching people to the flesh, the efficiency and safety of Pet's team are undoubtedly higher.
…
As for the team led by Reina, believers choose more of the two professional routes of stalker and ranger.
The frontal confrontation ability is also not strong, and there is no powerful long-range attack method like the mages.
However, Rena quickly found a strategy that suited her team. What Rogues and Rangers are best at is naturally sneak attacks, assassinations and - laying traps!
After the believers of the Stalker route have mastered the shadow energy, the first combat skill they can redeem from Noven at the cost of 15 knowledge points is called [Sneak Attack].
The effect is that the next attack will be blessed with shadow energy, causing damage that can more easily penetrate armor.
It is said that the first combat skill that warriors need to master, [Heroic Strike], is imitated from [Shadow Strike], except that the shadow energy is replaced by anger.
Of course, the people in the Fighters Guild have never admitted this directly.
The combat skill that the Ranger profession can redeem from Noven is called [Camouflage].
The effect is similar to the Stalker's [Stealth], but the difference is that the camouflage technique cannot enter the invisible state, but blends into the surrounding environment as much as possible and is not easily noticed.
The characteristic of [Camouflage Technique] is that this combat skill is not only used by the ranger to disguise himself, but can also be used to disguise various traps he sets.
Combining the characteristics of the two professions, Reina thought of corresponding tactics.
Ordinary members of the Bloodtooth Gang usually do a lot of bad things.
Going door to door to collect so-called "protection money", and - robbing people they don't like.
Many gangsters from the Blood Tooth Gang are addicted to the casinos run by the gang. They have no money left in their hands. If they have any spare money, they will throw it on the gambling table and exchange it for chips, and then they may lose everything in just one night.
Most of the protection money has to be handed over to the gang, so I can't get much of it, and I can't collect it every day.
But robbery, a way to "make extra money," is different.
The small alleys next to the Blood Tooth Gang Casino that are not easily discovered are the places where robberies occur most frequently.
Rena, who knew a lot about the evil activities of the Blood Fang Gang, naturally thought of taking advantage of this!
Sit back and wait.
Various lasso traps were set up in the alleys in advance, and the stalkers entered the [stealth] state one after another, quietly waiting for their prey to take the bait.
Not long after, a blood-fang gangster with sunken eyes and runny eyes forcibly dragged an unlucky guy into the alley "shoulder by shoulder."
"Boy, if you don't want to suffer, lend me some money to spend. I'll pay you back when I have more money later."
The Bloody Fang Gang gangster threatened in a deep voice.
As soon as he took the money bag from the trembling victim, before he could even count the money, he felt a sudden tightening around his ankles!
The lasso trap is triggered!
Unprepared, the gangster suddenly lost his balance and fell backwards.
Before he had time to check the situation, Rena's shouts had already sounded:
"Now, do it!"
Several stalkers appeared, and the daggers with a faint gray light in their hands were stabbing at various vital points of the gangster's body!
Because she had been harassed by the Blood Fang Gang in the past, and now she knew that the Blood Fang Gang had an affair with the Evil God, without the psychological burden, Reina was the most ruthless to attack.
Brandon and Pete would also pay a little attention to give each other a chance to breathe, but Reina directly made a killing move!
The dagger attack with [Shadow Attack] easily penetrated the opponent's skin, directly stabbing the Bloodfang Gang gangster!
The gray knife goes in, the red knife comes out!
In terms of assassination, the advantage of the stalker is completely unmatched by other professions.
As long as there is a loophole in the defense, it is possible to kill him with one strike!
[Preventing criminal behavior, based on the level of contribution, justice points +30]
[Defeat the first-level members of the Blood Fang Gang, and based on the level of contribution, justice points +30]
Two prompts came, and after confirming that there was no need to hit the target again, Reina threw the victim's wallet back to the opponent, raised her eyebrows, and reminded:
"Why are you standing there? You are safe."
"Oh, yes, and this guy won't have another chance to rob you."
