Chapter 660: Half-Giant Murat (2-in-1)
In the shadows at the corners of the city wall, Bai Xiaowen and Qiao Rui opened their eyes one after another.
Li Shuyi, who was on guard on the side, quietly asked through the team channel: "How is it?"
"Wait, I'll first summarize the information that the Falcon Spirit has observed to the captain. Qiao Rui stretched out her hand and touched Bai Xiaowen's forehead.
Just now, Bai Xiaowen and Qiao Rui both launched an investigation into Silver Star City. Qiao Rui used the Falcon's bird's-eye view to macroscopically observe the military layout, fortress weapons, important buildings and other information in Silver Star City, while Bai Xiaowen observed the details of Silver Star City's garrison through the infiltration of shadow assassins.
Soon, the shadow assassin's investigation ended, and he was summoned back by Bai Xiaowen.
"Now the situation is more or less clear. ”
Bai Xiaowen said: "Silver Star City is divided into two urban districts, the outer urban area wraps around the inner district in a ring, and it is mainly inhabited by the poor and proletarians, as well as some gangster organizations. The inner city is relatively small, and is home to three known chieftains: Lord Aldington, Mage Morrow, and Crossflower Warlord Murat. ”
"The one to note here is the cross-flower commander Murat...... According to the Shadow Assassin's experience in the Tavern of the Outlying Towns, Murat was a very powerful barbarian leader, said to be a descendant of giants, and was also known as the 'Half-Giant'. ”
"As for the outer city, there are mainly two places to pay attention to. ”
"One is the Church of Light, and there's a priest named Lawrence...... The information is incomplete, but for the time being, it will be made to the boss level. ”
"There is also a tavern in the outer city, the sign says 'Giant's Toe', I took a general look through the shared vision of the shadow assassin, although I can't use insight, and I can't intuitively perceive the fluctuations of psionic particles, but just by looking at the appearance with the naked eye, I can also see that there are several suspected leader-level powerhouses inside, of course, it may also be an elite ......"
Speaking of which, Bai Xiaowen concluded: "Silver Star City should still have hidden power that I haven't detected, but it doesn't matter. I already have a battle plan in mind, but it requires a certain amount of risk. ”
......
At this moment, Silver Star City, the lord's hall in the inner city.
"You mean, there's a problem in Mango Village?" Lord Aldington, a man with dark eyes and thin cheeks, wearing a military uniform full of medals, was staring at the soldiers below with his vulture-like eyes.
"Yes...... Yes, my lord. Captain Keeley and his ten infantrymen were all missing, along with a tax official from the Western Side......"
"Who dares to go against the great Aldington?" a flash of anger flashed in Lord Aldington's eyes.
A half-bald old man in a red robe knocked on the wooden staff in his hand: "It is impossible for ordinary people in Mangni Village to wipe out a whole team of soldiers, they don't have this ability. Could it be that the Imperial Army or the people of Ursok have an idea of the Silver Star Leader?"
The red-robed old man who spoke was the mage Mo Luo.
"The Imperial Army and Usok are in a tight fight, and they don't have the energy to provoke the Silver Star Leader. Aldington snorted.
At this time, the soldier kneeling below raised his hand again tremblingly: "Lord Lord, there is still a piece of information...... Someone spotted the dragon in the northwest direction. ”
"Dragon?" Aldington thought at first he had misheard.
"Yes, a dragon, flying among the clouds...... It's just that it's so fast that only a few people say they saw it. ”
"Nonsense, the dragons have been gone for hundreds of years," Aldington scoffed, "the mud legs must have been mistaken for a few moments." ”
The soldier did not dare to refute.
However, Mage Mo Luo put forward the opposite opinion: "Honorable lord, what he said may be true. There is an old prophecy in our circle of mages...... At the end of the age, the dragons will be resurrected, and the warriors of the ancient kings will return......"
"Unreliable prophecy," Aldington snorted, "well, if there is such a dragon, the entire squad of soldiers in Mangni Village will be wiped out. Mr. Morrow, based on what you know about dragons, could this monster pose a threat to Silverstar City?"
"No," Morro said confidently, "dragons are not invincible, otherwise there would be no legend of dragon slayers." And our city defenses are very strong, and if the dragon dares to come, the bed crossbow on the wall is not a decoration, this heavy weapon is best suited to deal with the dragon. ”
On the other side, a giant man with a height of two meters and a half and a knotted body of muscles glared and said, "Murat will tear off the dragon's wings!"
"Hahaha, that's right, with our strong Murat, even if there is a dragon, we have nothing to fear. Lord Aldington laughed, showing a special affection for the giant Murat.
The corners of Mo Luo's mouth twitched, the lord was really a madman, and he actually let a barbarian who was full of muscles and had no military literacy at all be the commander of the Cruciferous army. What else would that barbarian have but a horse's strength?
However, Mo Luo did not advise, the reason why he chose to be the chief mage on Silver Star Island, where this kind of bird does not, is to make a living...... It doesn't matter if the lord is crazy or brain-dead, as long as he can be paid on time every month and not disturb his research......
"My lord, what should we do in Mangni Village?" a city official asked, raising his hand, "Those civilians may be living in the shadow of the dragon. Should we send an army to investigate the actual situation, drive away the dragon that may exist, and protect the people? ”
"You're going to make me sacrifice my precious army for the sake of a bunch of mud-legged pariahs?" Aldington glared, "no kidding. Maybe the dragon just passed by occasionally, and it wouldn't be long before it flew away. As for Mangni Village, let them fend for themselves. ”
......
Night.
The three members of the White Phoenix team, with the lich Bud, came to the gates of Silver Star City.
"You have a clear plan for the first stage of infiltration, right?" Bai Xiaowen waved his hand, "Prepare for action." ”
"I know the reason," said Lich Budd, with some annoyance, "but why did you put me at risk with your radical plan?
"This is Lord Golia's order, I don't need to repeat it, right?" Bai Xiaowen ignored Bud's complaints, and stood guard at the city gate, the sleepy sentry Nunu mouthed, "Come on, Mr. Bud, the time has come to play your value." ”
“......”
Bard snorted, and a pair of bony claws poked out, making a spellcasting motion: "Sleep." ”
The invisible spiritual power spread, and suddenly the sentinels standing guard one by one, either sitting down or leaning against the wall, all fell asleep.
The Lich itself is a master of playing with psychic powers, and this hand of group sleepiness is indeed very useful. However, in actual combat, the sleeping enemy wakes up as soon as it hits, and the effect is not so tough.
"Up. ”
The ten-meter-high city wall is not an obstacle for the Awakened, even those with special spiritual strengths, especially when the soldiers defending the city are asleep and no one is disturbed. Bai Xiaowen ran a few steps, stepped on the city wall on his toes, and jumped seven or eight meters upward.
Li Shuyi on the side had already jumped up to the wall, stretched out her hand to Bai Xiaowen, and pulled him up. Then Qiao Rui did the same, and easily climbed the wall.
"Why would I do such a thing as an honorable lich......"
The lich Bud muttered a few words, his bone claws embedded in the bricks of the wall, and climbed up one by one. In the back, a small group of carefully selected elite ghosts also floated to the top of the city.
Dive into success!
"Bard, take the Elite Ghost and destroy the Bed Crossbow. You don't need me to teach you exactly what to do, right?" Bai Xiaowen said.
Lich Bard snorted and said, "Understood, isn't it just cutting the crossbow string?"
"Well, after destroying the bed crossbow, go to the city gate to see the winch, and the signal is together, immediately let the army into the city, and then destroy the winch completely. Bai Xiaowen said.
"Got it. Although he was reluctant, Bard still had a clear priority, and would not stumble Bai Xiaowen in this kind of official matter - this is also because Bai Xiaowen has a clear division of labor, the bed crossbow and the city gate winch, these two places are the responsibility of Bard, and Bard can't shirk the responsibility if something goes wrong.
In comparison, Bai Xiaowen's task is heavier.
"I'll leave it to Bard here, and we'll go to the inner city...... Assassinate the important leader of Silver Star City!" Bai Xiaowen said in a low voice.
Li Shuyi said with a smile: "Kill the boss and pick up the treasure chest." ”
Qiao Rui admired Bai Xiaowen a lot, as an awakened person, what is his biggest dream in the spirit world? Of course, he is a person in the spirit world who works part-time and reaps benefits for himself. Bai Xiaowen handed over the oily task of destroying the city's defense equipment and controlling the gate to Bud, and went to assassinate the leader to earn the treasure chest, and that's it.
It is not easy to do this, and it requires the awakened to have enough influence on the spirit world forces and good enough eloquence themselves to be able to stir up the wind and rain and let the powerful spirit figures carry out their will.
Of course, if there are high-end tickets that bring a high enough status to cut into, the difficulty of stirring up the wind and rain will also plummet, which is needless to say.
No more walls were built in the inner city, but only a separation zone was set up, and patrols were not tightly guarded. The White Phoenix team quickly touched the outside of the first target's mansion and climbed over the wall to enter.
In the brightly lit hall, a strong man with a height of two meters and a half was holding a wine bottle and gulping down, exuding a strong smell of wine.
The strong man's chest was bare, covered only with simple animal skins, and his hair was knotted like a barbarian.
On the side, a tall thin man who looked like a butler said with a smiling face: "Lord Murat is really brave, whether on the battlefield or in bed, he is invincible. ”
Murat wiped his mouth and snorted, "Murat is very unhappy! The woman you chose is so fragile that Murat twisted her neck!" he shook his head heavily, looking dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, Lord Murat, I will definitely find you a more suitable partner. The tall and thin man hastened to assure that he did not want to be like Murat's previous butlers and have his neck broken by this moody barbarian.
"Meat! Murat wants meat!" the large wine bottle in Murat's hand slammed down.
"Yes! I'll tell the kitchen to get ready!" the tall and thin man hurriedly slipped to the door of the hall.
However, when he came to the door of the hall, he hit a wall of flesh head-on. Then a demonic whisper rang in his ear: "Don't bother. You're going to die. ”
With a twist of his hands, the butcher snapped the butler's neck.
Murat, who was sitting on the northernmost side of the hall, suddenly felt a feeling of his hair bursting, and he stood up suddenly.
"Who is it? Murat smelled something unfamiliar!"
Tong.
He was answered by a scorching bullet, and the Desert Eagle, loaded with a silencer, still muffled.
Murat reacted quickly, and as if he had a beastly instinct, he lunged to the side! A shot that had been aimed at the vital point hit him in the flank.
The power of this shot was so great that it tore a gap in Murat's waist muscles, and blood flowed out.
With the sound of gunshots, the trio of the White Phoenix Squad stepped into the hall with the butcher.
"What a beast, maybe we've mistaken our first target. Bai Xiaowen shook his head, "But now, the arrow has to be sent to kill this big guy." ”
While speaking, Bai Xiaowen had already used insights to share the information with his teammates.
Murat (Boss Level 8)
[Race: Humanoid/Terran]
[Class: Bloody Hammer Warrior]
[Attributes: Strength 90, Agility 31, Constitution 42, Spirit 18]
[Skill 1: Half-Giant Power: Passive, Murat inflicts additional crushing damage on enemies whose strength and size are smaller than his own, and the proportion of additional damage is determined by the difference in strength and size between the two sides. The larger the gap, the higher the proportion of crush damage. 】
[Skill 2: Crush: Passive, Murat's normal attack has a chance to add a crushing effect, inflicting maiming on the enemy. 】
[Skill 3: Bloodthirsty Madness: Murat wields a giant hammer with both hands, and attacks all targets in melee range indiscriminately with an attack speed equivalent to double agility. This skill can only be activated when Murat's health drops below 30%, and each time an enemy hits, it will restore 1%~10% of Murat's health. 】
[Skill 4: Earthquake: After Murat charges his power, he swings a giant hammer to hit the ground, causing the ground in the nearby area to shake violently. All enemies in the area will be in a constant state of imbalance. 】
[Skill 5: Giant Blood LV2: Increases HP by an additional 400 points and gains 40% toughness.] 】
The so-called well-developed limbs and simple mind are probably a portrayal of the half-giant Murat in front of him. It was the first time Bai Xiaowen had seen that the level 8 leader had 90 points of strength, which was simply a monster-like existence. However, 18 o'clock spirit catches chickens.
Perhaps because of his low spirit, Murat's four combat skills have two passive skills, which do not consume mental power, and 18 points of spirit are definitely enough to cast earthquakes and bloodthirsty madness.
But in the face of Bai Xiaowen, it may not be enough.
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand to summon the ghost, and the resentful thin wire was connected, and he began to suck Murat's pitiful spiritual power.
