Chapter 72: Deterrence
Looking at the mercenary's body falling to the ground and convulsing, everyone was stunned. They stared at the hapless mercenary, then turned their heads in unison, and slowly looked at Jenn standing in front of everyone again, and gasped in unison.
What the hell is this monster?!
Those who can participate in this patrol are naturally not ordinary people. And they are also somewhat famous among each other's strongholds, otherwise Locks would not have called them. Because of this, they are quite aware and clear about each other's strength. The man just now was a mid-level peak warrior, and coupled with his innate divine power, his full burst even a high-level warrior might not be able to stop it. But I didn't expect that he didn't even make a move in front of this young man, looking at him now, he was beaten like a dog!
"Doro!!"
Seeing the man fall to the ground, the previous nobleman immediately called his name loudly and ran to the other party's side to take a closer look. And the others quickly gathered around the young nobleman.
"Doro!! Wake up! Doro!! ”
The young nobleman is also pale at the moment, you must know that Dora is his closest confidant, his family has served him from generation to generation, even if he is now down to this point, Dora has not left, but has tried his best to stay by his side. The two of them are already like brothers, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, my henchmen would become like this!!
Seeing the tragic situation of his cronies in front of him, the young nobleman turned his head with a pale face and glared at Jenn viciously, his eyes almost bursting into flames.
"How dare you do such a thing! Are you provoking the Black family?! You're asking me ......... The eldest son of the Black family, the future Cotton. Is Viscount Black provocative?! ”
"What's wrong with that?"
Hearing Cotton's roar, Jenn snorted contemptuously.
"If it weren't for the fact that this is the territory of the Templar Church, I would have killed him with a sword. Such useless waste, embarrassed to show off in front of me, do you really think he is something? ”
"You ..................!!"
Hearing this, Cotton immediately gritted his teeth, grabbed the long sword and jumped up, but before he could do anything more, the guards around him suddenly pounced and grabbed him.
"My lord! Calm down! Lady Dora is still alive!! Don't forget your mission!! ”
“………… Hmm..............."
Hearing this, Cotton's face suddenly turned red, and his two eyes glared at Jenn like fire. The sharp eyes were like two sharp swords shooting out of the eyes, eager to tear the man in front of him to pieces. In the face of the young nobleman's gaze, Jenn just looked down at him indifferently, as if he were looking at the filthy beggar lying on the corner of the street.
"Huh............!!"
Eventually, Cotton lowered his head and said nothing more. Instead, he waved his hand, and soon two soldiers stepped forward to carry Doro away, fortunately this was the stronghold of the Templar Church, and there were always priests who knew how to heal.
Seeing this scene, not only the ordinary mercenaries and warriors had solemn faces, but even the mercenary leader Ralph had cold sweat on his forehead. As a leader, the strength is naturally higher than the others, whether it is Captain Ralph or the young nobleman, they all have high-level strength, but even they don't see clearly how Jenn draws his sword at all. Like the others, they saw that suddenly there was a flash of lightning in front of them, and the dazzling light instantly enveloped them, and when the light disappeared from their retina, the mercenary had already fallen to the ground, unable to even climb up.
What a fast sword! What a terrible power!!
Thinking of this, Ralph also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead. Of course, they had already guessed that this young man was not simple, but they didn't expect his strength to be so strong! Could it be that this is a Legendary-level weapon master? How old is he!!
"It seems that no one has any objections anymore."
Taking in everyone's expressions, Jenn sneered.
"Then let's go, I repeat it one last time, if anyone is unwilling to obey my orders and wants to die by themselves, please take care of yourself, anyway, it is not me who will be devoured by these underground monsters and turned into feces in the end."
I don't know if it was because they were shocked by the strength shown by Jenn, or if they had other ideas, but after that, everyone did not raise any objections to Jenn's command and leadership, and soon set off, leaving the stronghold under the leadership of Liam and Jenn, and walking towards the depths of the dark region.
Although it is said that it is to destroy monsters, it does not mean that Jenn and the others will wander around aimlessly in the dark area, and soon, under the leadership of Liam, Jenn and the others came to the place where the patrol was attacked before.
"This is where the patrol was attacked by monsters before."
Looking at the cave in front of him, which looked almost half the size of a square, Liam Paladin's brow furrowed. The calm and capable young face had an irrepressible expression of anger and anguish.
"They were on their way back to the stronghold when they were attacked by underground monsters. The distress signal was issued, but it was too late by the time we sent someone here..............." Liam's voice trembled a little as he clenched his fists as he managed to calm his mind. Obviously, witnessing the death of his companion was also a huge blow to him.
But Jenn was clearly not interested in Liam Paladin's pain, and he stepped forward, carefully observing the traces of the battle in front of him. As you can tell from the blood on the ground, there was once a terrible battle here. And it was clear that the patrol didn't have much of an advantage here, maybe it was the imminent return to the safety and comfort of their stronghold that made them let their guard down, or maybe they didn't even think they would be ambushed, all in all, it was a chaotic battle. The patrols, which had lost their first hand, were not even able to resist, and soon collapsed, perhaps when they sent out desperate signals for help, even they themselves did not believe that they could survive.
My own cutie is doing a really good job.
Seeing the "murder scene" in front of him, a slight smile appeared in Jenn's eyes, and during this time, he sent many aliens to attack these patrols. Of course, Jenn also kept an eye on it, that is, as long as the patrol team attacked by the aliens, there would never be a single living mouth. That way, the Templars wouldn't know about their existence, and would only blame the deaths of these patrol members on other underground monsters -- and it wasn't the first time Jenn had done it.
"Alright, guys, I think you've seen it too."
After surveying the scene, Jenn quickly turned to the others and spoke.
"We're going to hunt down a group of ferocious, brutal and terrifying monsters. Even the Paladins are no match for them......... Of course, the main reason for this is that they don't know what they're up against. Well, luckily those gluttonous guys don't seem to like bathing much, and we can follow the trail of blood......... Now everyone lights torches and illuminates as much as possible around them to avoid accidents. ”
"Wait a minute, Mr. Jenn!"
Hearing this, Liam was taken aback and hurriedly spoke.
"I don't think we should do that, this light will only attract more monsters to us..............."
"Put away your sun-baked pig brain, Knight Liam."
As before, Liam's words were interrupted by Jenn before he could finish his sentence.
"You have to figure it out, this is a dark region, where creatures don't necessarily see the sun once from birth to death, do you think there are any creatures in such a dark-eyed environment that need to use their eyes to catch prey? The vibrations and sounds of walking, the smell of our bodies, believe me, Knight Liam, the monsters of the Dark Lands have a way of perceiving your being. And these are more accurate and farther than seeing with the eyes. So if you don't want to be surrounded by these monsters and die, you'd better light the torches and take a good look at the surroundings, so as not to become their meal. ”
"But aren't these patrols also attacked by those underground monsters with torches?"
"That's because they don't have enough light, what do you think a torch is good for? If there is a sun hanging above our heads, we are guaranteed that no creatures from the dark regions will come to our troubles. ”
"This ..............."
Hearing this, Liam was also stunned, after all, Jenn's theory was too fresh. Anyone who survives in the wild knows that in the dark, the probability of being discovered by the other party should be reduced as much as possible. Therefore, whether it is a paladin or a mercenary, they go out as softly as possible, and even the torches are dimly lit. But I didn't expect Jenn to do the opposite, which was really unexpected by everyone.
However, after seeing Jenn's strength, Liam also felt that he should not be talking nonsense, and finally nodded.
"Well, we can release the Holy Light and use it to illuminate our surroundings much brighter than torches............ No problem. ”
"Of course there is no problem."
Seeing Jenn nodding in agreement, Liam turned around and walked to the side to say a few words to the other two paladins, and hearing Liam's words, the two paladins also showed strange expressions and glanced at Jenn a few times, obviously, in their opinion, Jenn's order was simply unbelievable and incomprehensible. Eventually, though, they agreed to release the Holy Light for illumination.
Holy light is the most common low-level magic used by paladins, and its main function is to illuminate and of course to restrain undead creatures on a certain scale. However, on Jenn's side, Elise, as a perfect body, is not even afraid of the sun, and naturally does not care about this little holy light. Although Bix felt that the light was a little dazzling, she didn't feel that it was painful, so there was no problem. After performing the Holy Light Technique, everyone followed the bloodstains and walked towards the depths of the cave.
The Holy Light Spell unleashed by the three paladins was three fist-sized balls of light that emitted a warm, soft and bright white glow that dispelled the darkness in front of them. The light is more like an incandescent lamp than a dim torch. It was easy to tear through the darkness and show everything in front of everyone.
At the beginning, except for Jenn and the other three, everyone else was cautious, for fear that they would be discovered by the monster and attack. But all the way down, I can't even see half of the shadow of the monster. Occasionally, the sound of a rope could be heard in the passage ahead, but when everyone walked over, it was empty, and it was obvious that the monsters were afraid of the holy light released by the paladins, so they slipped away.
Seeing this, both those mercenaries and paladins were incredulous, they didn't expect that there would be such a big difference between the dark region and the surface. On the surface, if they dared to make such a big fanfare, I am afraid they would have been targeted a long time ago. As a result, in the dark region, this dazzling light helped them expel those threats, and the feeling of subverting common sense made them feel extremely new and vaguely awkward.
And Liam and the other three paladins' mood is also becoming more and more complicated at this moment, you must know that the Holy Light Technique is a spell that every paladin will use, but after coming to the dark region, in order to avoid accidents, they are not allowed to use it. As a result, they didn't expect it to backfire, if they had known that the Holy Light Technique still had the effect of expelling monsters from the Dark Regions, they wouldn't have lost so many people...............
At this moment, everyone's gaze at Jenn was different, although they were quite angry with him before, but it was because of Jenn's arrogant tone and attitude. But at this moment, the strength he showed and his familiarity and understanding of the dark region were not as good as everyone sighed. If you ask yourself, if you were to replace them, you would never have come up with such a way to do the opposite. Only those who know a lot about the dark regions would have such an idea.
At this time, Liam had secretly made up his mind that no matter whether this mission was successful or not, he would recommend Jenn to Master Locks after he returned, although his character was too arrogant, but people have real skills!
Even the Ralph mercenary captain didn't have his original anger at the moment, both on the surface and underground, he was respected by strength, and Jenn showed his superior strength, and he knew a lot about the dark region, so he would naturally win the respect of others. Merely.........
Thinking of this, Ralph glanced worriedly at the young nobleman not far from him, who was now iron-blue and red-eyed, staring at Jenn's back, not knowing what he was thinking. But looking at his appearance, Ralph always had an ominous premonition.
I hope this mission can be a qiēshun lì.
