Chapter 25: Island in the Heart of the Lake (1)
At night, the stele lake is quiet, except for one or two birds croaking in the sky from time to time.
On the island in the middle of the lake, several Defia thieves who were in charge of guarding were staring at the surface of the lake, paying no attention to the birds that flapped their wings and landed nearby. No one would pay attention to the small bird that was no more than the size of a palm, how could such a small bird pose a threat to people when it reached out and pinched it to death?
Many times things fail without people knowing, and the Defia thieves quickly pay the price for their negligence.
The little black bird that landed near the Defia thief who was on guard tilted its head, as if to observe something. Upon seeing that no one else in the vicinity except for the thief on the night watch, the black bird moved.
The Defia thieves who were keeping vigil only felt a black shadow pass in front of them, and then their eyes went black, and there was a sharp pain in their eyes.
A terrible scream came from the thief's mouth, waking everyone on the island in the middle of the lake.
"Enemy attack!"
The thought arose in the minds of all the people on the island.
Sure enough, it is worthy of being a rebel organization that has been fighting against the kingdom for many years, and the reaction of these Difia thieves is quite fast. Hidden in the shadows, Leo captures the thieves' reactions through the vision of a crow hovering in the sky. Needless to say, the little black bird that attacked the thieves of Nadiphia before was also the crow he sent out.
Thanks to the act of modifying the equipment before the crossing, Leo's summoning of crows is not just about summoning a crow, but the number of crows summoned is increasing with the increase of skill level.
The upper limit of equipment skills obtained by Leo after crossing is level 20, which is the same as the characters in the Diablo game on Battle.net, and they are all the upper limit of level 20 skills. To the kid's surprise, these equipment skills don't need to be upgraded by Leo, as they are the highest level that the current character can reach. In other words, as long as Leo has enough level, these equipment skills can be immediately upgraded to the corresponding level, and they don't have to take time and effort to improve like other skills.
Of course, this is not without limits. This restriction is that the level cap of these equipment skills has been fixed, and there is no possibility of further improvement, unlike Leo's necromancer skill does not see the highest ceiling.
To put it simply, equipment skills are very helpful to Leo in the early stage, with their existence, Leo can focus more on leveling up, and the speed of his level increase will become faster with the help of these skills. In the middle and late stages, the gradual increase in level will make the necromancer's skills become more and more powerful, and they will slowly replace the position of equipment skills as Leo's main combat power.
Leo is now level ten, the result of a year of hard training with Fursser, and the number of crows he can summon is now five. In broad daylight, five crows would cause some minor trouble to the Defia thieves on the island in the middle of the lake, but at night, a crow with black feathers that can blend with the night is not just a small trouble for the other party, and Leo is confident that he will make a lot of trouble on the island in the middle of the lake.
Just as the Difia thieves were about to send someone to check on the place where the screams were made, three equally terrible screams were heard from three other directions.
Enemy attacking? Is it the night attack of the Emperor [***] team or some other force?
The thieves on the island looked at each other, and the screams of their night watchmen could be heard from all directions, and it seemed as if a large number of enemies were invading. The ordinary thieves immediately looked at the leading professionals, waiting for their orders.
As the two highest-ranking mages among the thieves on the island in the middle of the lake, some of them were a little undecided. If it is a large number of enemies attacking, then dispersing the manpower at this time gives the other party a chance to break through, but if the enemy is tricky, he is really fooled, isn't it just as the other party wants?
What to do?
The two mages were distressed, and if they knew that their hesitation was exactly what Leo wanted to see, they didn't know what it would be like.
Hesitant? Hehe, all I want is your hesitation.
Seeing that the thieves on the island did not send someone to check on it in the first place, Leo knew that his plan had succeeded. The Defia thieves didn't dare to move if they couldn't figure out the situation, so it would be convenient for them to move.
Three wild wolves with snow-white fur carried Leo to start the smuggling journey to the island in the middle of the lake, the wolf's ability to swim in the water is much stronger than Leo's landlubber, at least people know water, right? Besides, no one wants to soak themselves in the icy waters of a lake on a cold night.
In the hesitation of the thieves on the island, Leo had quietly waited for the island in the middle of the lake, and no one realized that the dark night had become his best cover at this time.
After waiting for a while and not seeing the imaginary enemy, how could the two mages of Defiya not know that they had fallen into someone else's trap?
"Search! Go out and search for me! ”
The Defia thieves divided into ten five-man search teams and began a massive search on the island in the middle of the lake. The two mid-level mages knew that there were definitely not many enemies coming this time, otherwise the other party would not have played some small tricks. A team of five people can always sound the alarm in time, even if it is not the opponent's opponent. Once the opponent's traces are revealed, he can concentrate his forces on killing them.
"If you dare to come to the island in the middle of the lake, then leave your life behind."
The island in the middle of the stele lake is not large, and even on this dark night, ten teams of Defia thieves can search it in less than a quarter of an hour, and Leo does not have enough time.
Ten five-person squads, and they are ordinary thieves led by no professionals, hehe, since you want to disperse your forces yourself, then brother is not welcome. Leo smiled, and there was a killing glint in his eyes.
As for Difia, the thief Leo doesn't have a good impression of them. The intimate encounter with death in the forest outside of Shining Gold Town seemed like yesterday to Leo. was grabbed by the hair, cut off the neck and bled out, and almost died in Huangquan, he will never forget any detail at that time.
Don't blame me, who told you to join the Defia Thieves, brother will collect some interest on you now. Finding a dark place to hide, Leo commanded five crows to begin an attack on the island's Defia Thieves Search Party.
A search team of five people is just right for my brother, brother has five crows here, and one person will reward you with a gouge in the eye.
Five crows silently approached a group of Defia thieves in the darkness of the night, and suddenly launched an attack without the slightest warning.
"Ahh
"Ahh
……
Five terrible screams echoed throughout the island in the middle of the lake, and the eyes of the two mid-level mages who had been waiting suddenly lit up.
A mid-level mage immediately rushed in the direction of the screaming sound with five professionals and a large group of men.
Leo, who was hidden in the shadows, couldn't help but snicker when he saw this, go, go, others are afraid of making a noise, but brother is not afraid, what can you see when you rush there? At most, I saw five unlucky ghosts who fell to the ground with their eyes covered and howled, and if they were lucky, they might be able to find a few bird feathers.
