Chapter 37: Deliberately misleading and raising thieves to respect themselves (Part 2)
Visitors from another world and the special forces of the Silian Theocracy are in the fortress city. The earth-shattering battle that unfolded on the outskirts of Lantier certainly alarmed the necromancer leader Khajit who was entrenched in the city, as well as his allies and disciples.
However, at this time, the leader of the necromancer Khajit and his disciples were busy absorbing and refining the huge amount of negative energy of death generated after the massacre last night, and could not spare any time at all: if they were to waste time at this time If so, the negative energy generated by death will dissipate quickly.
The blonde female sadist Clementine is wandering around the city, clearing out the remaining living people who are guarding the houses. Occasionally she has a fight with an undead creature without eyes, but she has no interest in going outside the city to join in the fun: as a A strong man who had already initially entered the realm of heroes, she could vaguely feel what level of tough guys they were fighting against. She got involved rashly with her ability, and it was bad luck
Therefore, since the target of the fight did not seem to be herself, Clementine ignored the matter.
——Although women and cats are both curious creatures, too much curiosity will not only kill a cat, but also a female killer.
In this regard, Clementine, who has been mixed up in society for so many years and has been tortured in various ways, has a deep understanding of this.
For those who walk in the shadows, knowing too much may not be a good thing. And the reason why she is able to live smoothly until now is because after receiving many lessons and luckily not dying, she finally learned a certain sense of propriety.
What's more, her relationship with Khajiit, a former priest who has fallen into evil ways, is not very good, and she is not interested in any "big plan" he has been planning for many years. After this brief cooperation, what will happen next? Maybe they will part ways soon.
Unfortunately, regardless of whether they are curious or not, they are destined to become the next target of an invincible powerful group ready to eradicate.
——Under the remote temptation of modern China's deception experts in the 21st century, Lich King Ainz, who currently has god-level equipment, loyal thugs, an invincible base, and highly intelligent allies, finally made up his mind to fight in this newly arrived country. Ten days of another world took the first step towards becoming king.
And as a result, the fortress city is entrenched in the human city closest to the main base, the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Lantel's evil organization has become a stumbling block that must be eradicated or conquered on His Majesty's road to kingship.
Moreover, this time, he planned to take action himself, instead of letting the '21st century ancients' from the earth do it for him - he sent Wang Qiu and the others for such a long time for free, and also let them fight three vigorous and fierce battles. , Ainz was really embarrassed to continue being a spectator.
Of course, as a cautious player who likes to show off to others but is actually timid at heart, Lich King Ainz has always been a person who likes to be fully prepared, even if he knows that the enemies are just a bunch of weaklings, or a bunch of chickens. An arrogant and arrogant weakling who has no self-awareness, he still adopts the attitude of a tiger fighting a rabbit, and must make all preparations for war to perfection.
Therefore, before preparing for the raid, Lich King Ainz first returned to the throne room of the Great Tomb of Nazarick - anyway, there is space magic [portal] available, as long as it is a place he has been to, for him and his men Everything can be reached in a moment, no matter how far the distance is, it doesn't matter.
Then, he took out a bunch of valuable magic scrolls and began to prepare precautions before reconnaissance:
"...[Intelligence Fraud], [Anti-Detection], [Psychic Protection]..." Scrolls floated into the air one after another, burning on their own in the colorful magic flames. At the same time, An Now he is explaining to his subordinates the battle tips he has summed up:
"... As the saying goes, 'Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger'. Before launching a battle, you must try your best to collect the enemy's intelligence, instead of rushing into it recklessly like a reckless man. Falling into a trap or ambush is not the most embarrassing thing, it is even more embarrassing. I simply can’t find where the enemy is...
In order to pursue convenience, it is a very common practice to use magic to conduct remote reconnaissance. However, it should be noted that when using intelligence gathering magic, full precautionary preparations must be made. Because although you can use magic to detect the enemy's location, the enemy may also have warning magic. Once detected, they can track them back, and they can even launch long-range bombardments at your lurking location! What's even more terrifying is that the opponent can directly open a [portal] and bring a whole team of people to kill them - if you don't block the space in advance.
Therefore, compared to discovering the enemy's location, concealing one's own location is a more critical focus. We must first guard against the enemy's counter-magic, and then activate our own intelligence-gathering magic. This is an iron rule in PK battles. Considering that the other party may use [Positioning Detection] to reversely track our location, we must use [Intelligence Fraud] and [Anti-Detection] to protect ourselves. And..."
——When using magic to collect enemy intelligence, precautions must be made in advance.
For gamers, this is the most basic combat knowledge.
Before Ainz, the Lich King, came to another world, when he was PKing with other players, he would collect as much information as possible on the opponent, and then launch a targeted surprise attack, a quick victory, or a quick victory. Decide the outcome, or miss the target and escape thousands of miles away.
This is also the basic tactic of his guild, a [PK technique that everyone can easily perform] that makes "the battle end before it begins"!
——To put it simply, it is the tactics of assassins: stealth, surprise and assassination.
Next, Lich King Ainz controlled the [Far Telescope] and began to overlook the fortress city occupied by undead creatures from a high-altitude perspective. Lantier - This is a mirror-shaped magic prop, its function is similar to the display screen of **********. It can detect any terrain environment within a certain range around it, and it is more powerful than radar and satellites. Precision and clarity. However, its weakness is also obvious, that is, it is easily interfered by various counter-magic, and may even be directly reflected and burned by the cursed magic protective wall. Therefore, players in the game cannot use it as a radar: as long as an enemy has a little ability and wealth, there is a way to get through under the [Remote Perspective Mirror].
Very fortunately, the indigenous humans in this world not only cannot compare with the players in the game in terms of their own strength, but also have much worse awareness of prevention: probably because the opponents they fight are as weak as them, so there is no need to take more precautions. for the sake of.
"...There is no space blockade, no intelligence shielding, and no automatically triggered curses...it's so easy!" - Lich King Ainz said.
In addition, there is another disadvantage of using the [Remote Vision Lens], that is, it is not easy to find the opponent's position when the environment is too complex. It felt like looking at Google Maps satellite images to find the locations of foreign military bases and warships... For example, at this time, Ainz spent two hours browsing back and forth before he was lucky enough to wander around the streets. Among the skeletons and putrid zombies, the striking figures of a blonde woman and several men in black robes were found: the former was wandering around the city, and the latter gathered in the temple in the city's cemetery, tinkering with a pile of fresh corpses. What are you wearing?
Next, compared to the meticulous preparations, Lich King Ainz's attack methods were simple and crude.
——Open the [portal] to the enemy, throw the most powerful NPC over, and let them use their moves as soon as they land to kill the opponent completely!
But there is no way. Considering that the difference in strength between the two sides is huge, it is comparable to humans and ants. So when humans trample the ants to death, it is difficult to not be simple and crude. After all, in the absolute ravage and massacre of stepping on ants, even if you can really play some tricks, others will not praise you for your high style. You can even step on an ant to play tricks and show your style, but they will only think that you are out of your mind. There is a problem - the above is the discussion of the specially appointed deception expert of New China, which made the sullen Lich King Ainz put away his thoughts of showing off and showing off, lest the pretense would fail and become a tease instead.
"... Very good, the identity and location of the enemy have been determined! One is a blond woman who is agile and good at thieving skills. She is wandering around the streets; the other group is a weak-looking necromancer who is in the cemetery in the city. What sacrifices are being held in the temple..."
After determining the location of his opponents, Lich King Ainz began to mobilize his troops, "...With our strength, if we fight alone, any one of them can destroy them, but that woman looks very elusive. , We have to prevent her from slipping away... Shalltear, Mare, Aura!" He named the true ancestor of vampires and the dark elf siblings, "... you guys go to deal with that blond woman together, don't let her go. She ran away!”
"...As you command! Lord Ainz!"
"...Next, Demiurge! Narberal!"
He then named the Demon Gentleman and the Masked Transformer Battle Maid, "...You go and kill the necromancers in the cemetery! Remember to act quickly and use the most powerful magic! Be sure to kill them all! Don't hug them. Keep a playful attitude, otherwise you will be the only one who escapes! ”
"...Don't worry, Lord Ainz!" The demon gentleman in a suit snapped and stood at attention, "...Not even one of these little bugs can escape!"
"... Finally, Albedo, after the first two groups of people succeed, you transfer the lich from the Great Tomb of Nazarick to the city and take over the undead creatures that appear in the city..." Ainz finally said to the demon The matron ordered, "...Well, no, forget it, let's go there together..."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Then, through deliberate calculation and unintentional calculation, the fortress city had just become a nest of undead creatures. Lantier changed his master again in the blink of an eye.
——The [Teleport Gate] opened beside him instantly, and various low-level demons swarmed out directly from the door. Most of the necromancer apprentices with ordinary physiques and slow movements had no time to react and were knocked to the ground. , screaming and being bitten to pieces. As the leader, Khajiit has a bone dragon to protect him, which can resist attack magic below level 6 and low-level demons summoned by Demiurge, but he was easily bypassed by Narberal, the battle maid who is proficient in space magic. Behind him, a knife pierced the heart, and then a fireball burned him to ashes.
The agile blonde female sadist Clementine died just as quickly because she became the focus of the fire - although she was more alert and turned around and ran away as soon as she noticed the appearance of the [Portal]. But in front of the dark elf siblings who have maxed out their thief and assassin skills, her mortal skills are still not enough. The true ancestor of the vampire, Shalltear, led a large group of her family members to violently attack her, turning her into a dregs of flesh in an instant.
At this point, the whole process took less than three minutes, and the battle in the fortress city was over. Knowing that the situation was decided, Ainz, the most cowardly Lich King in history, took a large number of low-level lichs around level 30, as well as the female witch Albedo of the Demons, and stepped across the [Teleport] in a hurry. Gate], come to the fortress city. On the tower of Lantier's innermost city, he took over the army of undead creatures in the city and implemented the final elimination plan.
——That is to eliminate it. The last remaining human beings in Lantier City, who temporarily escaped the ravages of the undead for various reasons, turned the fortress city into a fortress city. Lantier has completely turned into a city of death with no living people!
Although the last remnants of the human part in the soul are still protesting fiercely against his inhumanity and cruelty. However, in order to ensure that the subsequent deception plan would not be revealed and exposed, Ainz decided to kill all the last few living people in the city.
As for his evil villain subordinates, they have always regarded human beings as ants and have no psychological burden on such things.
"...Okay, let's start now! Release the undead miasma throughout the city! Then use a seal to prevent the miasma from evaporating and spreading!"
Standing on the towering tower, overlooking the streets full of rickety skeletons and all kinds of rotting undead monsters, Lich King Ainz lowered his head in silence for a while, and finally stretched out his wand and gave the city an order. The final death sentence!
Immediately afterwards, clusters of gray-green mist began to rise all over the city, and spread rapidly, covering the sky and the sun, rolling forward like waves, penetrating into every place it could penetrate. The few remaining citizens who were originally trapped on the roof, attic, cellar or secret room had nowhere to hide. In the strange mist, they fell down one by one with groans and no longer responded. Only their eyes were still wide open. The hands are stiff and in the shape of chicken claws. Dark, dark blood flowed from the wide-open mouth, and bursts of disgusting stench were released.
Next, a fallen man suddenly rolled his eyes. Then, a low roar like a beast came from his throat, echoing in the unrecognizable city. Then he saw him stand up unsteadily, dirty black blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, his skin became livid and pale, and only his two eyes still radiated bright red. Looking from a distance, it looks like two red lights in the dark fog...
As the poisonous fog gradually spread throughout the city, the same thing happened to the other victims one after another...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
As a result, when the kingdom's warrior captain Gazef led his exhausted men, riding horses that were already foaming at the mouth, wearing smoky armor and cloaks, they finally arrived at the fortress city covered in dust. ． By the time they reached the outskirts of Lantier, everything had already settled.
——The reason why I am so smoky and smoky is because the previous fierce battle to annihilate the special forces of the Slian Theocracy triggered a grassland fire in this dry season, and it has not subsided until now. However, the fire gradually expanded driven by the wind, so much so that it blocked the path forward of Warrior Commander Gazef. In order to bypass the fire, he and his men were choked by the thick smoke.
However, when they finally arrived at their destination after going through all kinds of hardships, they could only stand on the countryside far away from the city, looking at the fortress city in the distance. Lantier's purgatory scene at this moment made him sigh and wail in helplessness and despair.
——The swirling vortex of dark clouds shrouded the sky over the city, and thunderbolts and lightning flashed from time to time, forming a shocking scene full of destruction. The eerie mist filled the top of the city wall, as if it was tightly grasped by the bone claws of death. There are also countless rickety skeletons, stinky zombies with rotting flesh, and grotesque and ferocious undead monsters, slowly pouring out through the open city gate, wandering in the wilderness on the outskirts... Fortunately, in this dead area, In the doomsday scene where the atmosphere is lingering, there is not no hope of survival...
