Chapter 12 Planning a general offensive
"That's it!" Nora shouted cheerfully, "Tell me, cheers! β
(cheers, the foreign version of "eggplant", the pronunciation action is similar to a smile)
βCheersοΌβ At a table with a large number of potions, recipes, and spiritual materials, everyone said with smiles on their faces.
Click! Nora took this picture.
"Okay, okay, let's drink potions, drink potions, and collect materials!" Asker said, waving his hand.
In this deal with the Night's Watch, the biggest gains were made by Eleanor and Mier.
The former got the potions of "Tenacity I" and "Will I", and the latter got the potions of "Vision I" and "Intuition I", which means that it is only a matter of time before these two people can steadily advance to level4 and level3.
This is followed by Nora and Medea, the former has obtained the three materials of "Spirit I", and is currently only short of one benzamine.
As an industrial product, it is not too difficult to buy it in an industrial area on the outskirts of the city.
The latter's "Conspiracy I" is still short of the king squid's ink and serotonin.
Finally, Peggy and Sidlifa got the recipes for "Plague I" and "Ancient X" respectively, although there are no corresponding materials on the Night's Watch's side, but these two potion sequences themselves belong to the niche and I don't know how much effort it takes to buy them outside.
Therefore, this time it can be regarded as a full return, and the harvest is comparable to the last time the sacking of the Colosseum of Constantinople...... If you don't take into account the 3100 pounds spent.
"Should I take Will I first? Or Tenacity I? Regarding the next potion vial, Eleanor tried to ask Asker's opinion.
"Let's not mention the word 'should' yet." Aske smiled and said, "I'll give you a rough idea of what the two potions do. β
"The Tenacity sequence is a powerful passive bonus. It increases your resistance to damage, whether physical or supernatural strength. β
"Your body will be less susceptible to injury, and the wounds will heal faster. At the same time, you will be less susceptible to illness, poisoning, aging, and any negative states that last less in you, such as stiffness, stiffness, dizziness, staggering, paralysis, etc. β
"Let's talk about the sequence of wills. This is the main sequence of your 'War Crusade' bloodline, as well as a type of mental sequence. β
"The human mind can be divided into the true self, the id, and the superego. Among them, the id-in-body is the sequence of 'desires' mastered by Medea, and the superego in the mind is the sequence of 'will'. β
"Will I will make your mental will stronger, and your ability to concentrate will be greatly improved. When you're engrossed, you may even feel like time is slowing down. β
"Your spirituality will be stronger, and more details will be noticed in battle. You'll be able to perform more subtle movements, which will be very beneficial for you to learn higher-level techniques. β
"That is." Eleanor pondered for a long time and said, "Fortitude strengthens my body, and will strengthens my mind. β
"Almost." "In terms of supernatural strength, tenacity does accelerate the transformation into physical strength, while will promotes mental strength. β
"I choose the Sequence of Wills." Eleanor decided, "If I go it alone, the Tenacity Sequence can really strengthen my survivability. But I'm in this team after all, and the Will Sequence has helped me more to improve my abilities and the whole team. β
"It's good that you decide." Aske is meaningful.
So Eleanor took the medicine, and then came Mi'er, with a sweet and immature little face that looked at him with a blank expression, like a cat.
"You want to ask about the order of potions, too?" Asker leaned down and touched her head.
"Hmm." Mi'er hugged the hand he had placed on her head.
"Visual sequences will enhance your dynamic vision and allow you to see objects moving at high speed or farther away."
"The intuitive sequence will give you the ability to perceive danger, even if you don't see anything, you can still 'see' the danger in time when it matters most."
"Figuratively speaking, Vision I strengthens your eyes, while Intuition I gives you an extra pair of 'heart eyes,' you know?"
"I choose intuition." "My eyesight isn't bad in the first place. β
"Then go ahead." Aske said, "Let your sister Nora take care of you, don't get out of control." β
"Okay." Mi'er said submissively.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The Azure Sword Mercenary Group is about to usher in two newly promoted members.
On the other side, the night watchmen are also studying the undead mutation.
All the objects that the Black Knight was killed and brought back that could be used as clues were already on display in front of the higher-ups at this time.
"It has been confirmed that these Black Knights are the Friends of the King, the 'Friends of the King' (Companion_Cavalry) of Alexander the Great at the end of the Second Age." Phoebus explained to everyone present.
"Judging from the style of power armor, it is indeed the military armor that was popular on the Syrius Peninsula in the Second Period, because at that time, this armor was inside the exoskeleton and had a linen woven lining to prevent shocks."
"The ancient Solomon Republic of the Tertiary period improved the exoskeleton structure, and the mainstream power armor after that no longer had this inner lining."
"Another thing that can be corroborated is weapons." Phoebus picked up the weapon on the table, "The xiphos sword, 3D printed with high-molecular-weight carbon fiber, is now only retained by the Holy See, and it is impossible to use it to make weapons, it is too luxurious." β
"Finally, it is claimed by several detachment knights that the Black Knight has some kind of strange supernatural ability, which can separate a phantom when swinging a weapon, and the phantom has the same attack power as the main body."
"Phantom Sword?" The other night watchmen immediately guessed the answer.
They don't know anything about the Nine Styles of Stars from the East. But another transcendent swordsmanship, the Phantom Sword, is thunderous to them.
"That's right, the ancient Macedonian secret swordsmanship, the Phantom Sword." Phoebus said with a solemn expression, "According to historical records, the generals and knights of Alexander the Great were also his friends and students, so they all mastered his extraordinary swordsmanship, the Phantom Sword. β
"The casting of the Phantom Sword requires the extraordinary power of the Arcane Sequence. Alexander the Great himself is a meteor shower, and if the knights of the royal friends want to use the phantom sword, they must use the outside world to supplement the power of the arcane. β
Phoebus picked up a broken armplate and showed the Mithril pattern on the back to the public: "The relevant evidence is the magic circuit on the armor, drawn with sintered Mithril powder, and the end is connected to the Wizard's Stone, which contains the blood of Alexander the Great himself. β
"The Wizard's Stone is responsible for providing energy, and Alexander the Great's blood changes the energy attributes and transforms it into arcane power, right?" Colmo wondered, "But I remember that Hannibal of Carthage was also famous for his Phantom Sword, but he was an undead sequence himself, and he didn't use any wizarding stones. β
"That's because Hannibal's Phantom Sword is an immortal Phantom Sword that has been improved by him." "Alexander the Great died after conquering the East, and his phantom sword was taken around the world by his generals. β
Among them, the Carthaginians, located on the southern continent, learned this swordsmanship from the Ptolemaic dynasty. Later Hannibal. Baka modified this swordplay, incorporating the properties of the undead into the phantoms, allowing them to separate multiple apparitions at once without the need for arcane powers. β
"In comparison, the Immortal Phantom Sword is more flexible and suitable for one-to-many group battle scenes; And the phantom of the phantom sword itself, although there are fewer of them, their combat ability is almost as powerful as the main body. β
"Let's not talk about the phantom sword for now." The Chief of the Silver Moon Knight, the long-haired Lady Elowan, frowned and said, "I'm more concerned about why a thousand years ago, the knight of the royal friend under Alexander the Great appeared here in the form of the Black Knight's undead?" β
"This is a question that only Alexander the Great himself can answer." Phoebus shrugged.
"I'm not kidding you, Phoebus." Elowin sighed, "Since the knights of the royal friends have already broken the ground, then I will not be surprised in the slightest tomorrow even if Alexander the Great himself returns from the underworld. β
"Impossible." Colmo denied it, "Today's Demon Tide level limit is only level 5, and the historical Alexander the Great was already a demigod at level 28 before he was poisoned and died. Now, even if you come back from the dead, even if you mobilize your spirit a little, you will be drained of your strength and die again. β
"What if he doesn't do it himself?" "Even if he were to command only behind the scenes, his military command skills comparable to those of Caesar and Hannibal would be enough to inflict heavy casualties on our Night's Watch." β
"But that's just your guess." Colmo reminded her, "There is no evidence that Alexander the Great has returned from the underworld. β
"There has been no evidence that the Black Knight or other high-level undead will appear in this mutation." Elowin said unceremoniously, "If it weren't for the warning from the headquarters, I don't know how many knights and servants would have died in the first exploration." We should always prepare for the worst, shouldn't we? β
"What should I do about the worst?" Colmo asked her rhetorically, "If Alexander the Great comes back from the dead, it will be impossible for us in the Eastern Legion to solve this mutation, even if the headquarters sends the Holy Horsemen of Rest to come to support. β
"We can apply for a space-based railgun strike, with small nuclear bombs." Erowen said, "The bombing of the center, once and for all." β
"There is one less space-based nuclear bomb, and it is impossible for the headquarters to waste it here, simply because it is 'possible' that the ghost of Alexander the Great appeared." Colmo sighed.
"Well, it seems that HQ would rather let us fill this unknown hole with our lives than use their precious nuclear bombs that fly over our heads every day." Elowin stood up, undisguised from the anger on her face.
"We, the Knights of the Silver Moon, have already lost two casualties, and there will be more casualties in the coming days. After this mutation is over, I will smash the metal nameplate of each fallen knight, along with the list of the dead, on the heads of the old men in the headquarters! β
She walked out of the command tent in a rage, and the rest of the people looked at each other.
"We, the Morning Star Knights, have lost five times as many casualties this time as they did in the Silver Moon." Phoebus let out a long sigh, "What can it be?" Isn't it the duty of the night watchman to destroy the undead? If we don't go deep into this undead mutation, who will deal with it? β
"Not bad." Commander Bryce, who had not spoken, said, "What does the razor law say? β
"Don't add entities unless you need to." The two knight chiefs replied.
This razor's rule originally meant that "simple is better than complex". In the Night's Watch organization, it was interpreted in two ways.
Ordinary knights think that it means telling you to focus on fighting and not be cranky. Only the top brass know that the meaning of this phrase is "what can be done with a penny, not with two cents".
There's no food left over at the Night's Watch headquarters!
"That's right. We can let that Blue Sword mercenary group go with us to explore the way! Phoebus said suddenly, "A fighting organization like theirs must have more experience in how to save their lives in an unknown environment than our night watchmen!" β
This is nonsense at first sound, because no matter how old the mercenary group is, it is impossible for the military experience to be richer than that of the night watchman who is formally trained. After all, there is a gap between professional soldiers and amateur mercenaries.
However, the subtext that Phoebus didn't say was that by letting the Azure Sword mercenary group explore the path and share the damage together, we would have to pay no cost and no risk.
It's a big deal to let them take the big head of the loot.
"Well, indeed. With the combat skills of that Asker Commander, he can easily win against the last Power Armor Knight, so it should be no problem to have a few more. Commander Bryce understood his subtext and pondered.
"That's right." Colmo also immediately understood, and said with a smile, "In my opinion, the true strength of this Asker regiment leader is unfathomable, even if Alexander the Great is in person, his Blue Sword mercenary group is not without the strength of a battle." β
You're blowing too much! The other two were speechless.
If even Alexander the Great could fight, this Blue Sword mercenary group would have gone to heaven a long time ago, and we night watchmen must not offer them as ancestors.
"Ahem, Alexander doesn't care for the time being, I think if the demigod-level undead, the Azure Sword Mercenary Group can still deal with it." Phoebus hurriedly played the round, "Besides, we night watchmen won't stand idly by, of course we will support them remotely." β
The words "long-range support" simply spoke to the heart of Commander Bryce.
Remote, which means hiding in the rear and shooting without facing the undead.
"So be it!" Bryce clapped his hands and said, "Lord Phoebus, go and ask about the intentions of the Azure Sword and inquire about their conditions. β
