Chapter 53 Joint Operations
"Drink!"
Swinging her sword again to force back the ghouls who were approaching her, Shanna let out a sigh, the wound on her shoulder had begun to go numb, and even her arm was gradually losing feeling. There were more and more ghouls around, and even Shanna felt a little depressed.
Is this the end of it?
She bit her lower lip, and the tingling came over, but it couldn't expel the despair and heaviness in her heart. Although Shanna thought she had made all the preparations after taking on the mission, when she actually stepped into it with her subordinates, she realized that she had thought too simply.
As a four-star mission, the Pavel Cemetery was indeed not a fuel-efficient lamp, and a steady stream of undead creatures poured towards them like a tidal wave, almost sweeping them away. Although Shanna led her subordinates to repel their attacks again and again, her own losses were not small, until just now, the team had lost five or six members, and most of the rest were injured, in such a situation, could they still hold on?
Shanna had thought about retreating more than once, but in the end she gritted her teeth and persevered, and now it was too late to retreat, she had gone too deep into it, and she had lost the opportunity to get out. The only chance now is to persevere and eliminate the necromancer, so maybe there's still a chance.
Having said that, Shanna knew very well that this was almost impossible. They can't even handle these undead creatures now, where is the chance to face that terrifying and powerful necromancer?
Not only Shanna, but also her subordinates, who had already despaired in their hearts, faced with these disgusting but indelible undead creatures, only the will to survive still supported them to wield their weapons, instinctively trying to pull themselves back from the edge of the abyss of death.
However, this is also their limit.
"Oops!"
When she smelled the smell of fish, Shanna suddenly woke up. And at this moment, she suddenly felt her hand shake suddenly, and then a huge impact came, Shanna did not hold it steadily, the long sword in her hand was knocked high, and then fell to the ground, and the raging flames on it also suddenly dissipated at this time, and at the same time, an ugly ghoul wailed and stretched out his arms and threw himself at her.
She's distracted!
At this moment, Shanna's heart plummeted, as a swordsman, of course, she knew what the consequences of her mind wandering in battle, and now, she was about to taste the bitter resultβββ at the cost of her own life.
Luckily, Death's Scythe brushed her foot by this time.
At the moment when Shanna closed her eyes and was about to accept her fate, a dazzling light fell from the sky, like a heavy hammer piercing the ghoul's body, and the monster that was about to succeed trembled heavily, and then collapsed to the ground like a puddle of soft mud.
A cold icy wind blew.
Everyone's bodies froze, and then, a dazzling flash of lightning flew by.
"Boom, boom, boom!!"
In the blink of an eye, those terrible undead creatures were completely wiped out in this round of explosions, and it was only then that everyone saw several people standing at the entrance of the passage on the other side.
"Sister Shanna, you're fine!"
Seeing that the danger had been lifted, Lijie hurriedly ran towards everyone. And Marlene, who finished casting the spell, shook her long hair proudly, and then looked at Rhodes with a confident smile, obviously signaling to him: How is it, look, I did a good job.
But in the face of Marlene's gesture, Rod's face was a little indescribable......... is really worthy of being an honor student with five lectures, four beauties and three loves, and I obviously mean to end them in one pot......... Forget it, that's fine, after all, when giving the order, Rod didn't expect Lijie to actually know these people, and now he is a little glad that Marlene's top student mentality, fortunately she is not a player, otherwise maybe it would have caused a lot of trouble now. β¦,
"It's Red Hawk......"
Looking at the red-haired female swordsman not far away, Old Walker muttered to himself, he and Rhodes glanced at each other, and each saw the other's inner thoughts.
"Lijie?"
Shanna, who had survived the catastrophe, didn't have time to celebrate her luck before she was startled by the figure in front of her.
"How did you end up here?"
"I'm here on a mission."
Lijie replied as she knelt down in front of Shanna, and soon, she stretched out her hands, and with a faint light, the wounds on the red-haired female swordsman's body quickly healed, and even the corpse poison that had been in her place was completely removed at this moment.
This is the importance of the spirit master, although the mercenaries can more or less have some skills in bandaging and healing wounds, but the only thing that can produce immediate results is only able to do it with the spirit master's spiritual skills. Therefore, each spirit master is the target of each mercenary group's focus to attract and protect, plus the number of spirit masters is not large, and most of them are not very interested in adventure, so in addition to those spirit masters who travel according to the requirements of the church, only spirit masters like Li Jie who don't know why can stay outside anytime and anywhere.
After treating Shanna's injuries, Lijie immediately stood up and walked to the others, after this battle, almost all of Shanna's subordinates were injured, and some of them were very seriously injured, if they were not treated in time, I am afraid that it would not be long before they would have to call brothers and sisters with those things that they had just knocked down.
Retracting her gaze from Lijie's body, Shanna noticed Rhodes and the others walking towards her, she hurriedly stood up and stretched out her hand with a wry smile.
"Thank you for your help."
"You're welcome."
Holding Shanna's outstretched hand, Rod replied quietly,
"This seems like the second time I've thanked you."
Shanna withdrew her hand and looked at the young man in front of her with surprise and curiosity. She and Rod had only met twice, and neither was very familiar with each other. She only knew that this man saved Lijie, and then faced off with Serek, passed the mercenary assessment, and his strength was not weak. But now it looks ......... It doesn't seem that simple for this man?
Thinking of this, Shanna couldn't help but look at the two people behind Rhodes, the first thing she saw was Marlene wearing a gorgeous robe, which made Shanna stunned for a moment, you must know that the Dao mage is a rarer profession than the spirit master, how could she appear here? And......... Standing next to her, wasn't that old Walker, who drank in the association every day?
How did these people come together?
Shanna couldn't help but turn her head and glanced at Lijie again, and then looked at Rod with a hint of doubt.
"Excuse me, what are you .........?"
"We're here to complete our mission."
Rod's answer was crisp and direct.
"Just like you."
"Just the four of you?"
"That's right."
If it had been on weekdays, Shanna would have thought that Rhodes was talking in his dreams, and the Pavel Cemetery was a very dangerous place, where many mercenary groups had suffered a lot. If there are only four people left to be killed, then it is normal logic. But reality told the red-haired swordswoman that things weren't what she had imagined. After all, Rhodes and the others didn't show that kind of embarrassed escape, and judging from them, it didn't look like they had been attacked.
Could it be that what this man said was true?
Shanna blinked, she couldn't believe this fact anyway, the four of them were able to go so deep? And it looks like it's going to be easy? How is this possible? Is this young man really that powerful? While the red-haired swordswoman was thinking about this, Lijie, who had treated everyone's injuries, had returned to Rod's back and whispered something to Marlene, and the two seemed to be chatting, but Shanna didn't pay attention to it now. Because at this moment, Rod's voice rang out.
"What are you going to do next?"
"What's next?"
Hearing Rod's inquiry, Shanna was stunned for a moment, and then she realized the current state of affairs.
They're getting things done.
And this young man is also completing the task.
So that is to say.........
Thinking of this, Shanna immediately felt that things had become a little tricky.
Generally speaking, such fortuitous events also occur from time to time when mercenary groups are on missions. After all, there are so many tasks, and anyone can take them until they are completed. Therefore, there are not a few car crashes, and generally in this case, the mercenary group with a good relationship either chooses to back down or choose to act together. And those with a slightly worse relationship will directly fight and decide the winner with strength.
So now, which path are they going to choose?
Shanna deleted the choice of fighting from her mind at the first time, since the other party saved herself, it means that they have no malicious intent, if she chooses this way again, then it is against her own principles, and it is even more defiled with the dignity of Red Eagle. But do you want them to step back? After spending so much effort and losing so many companions, seeing this step, does she still have a choice to retreat? But............ Shanna also knew very well that with the current strength of herself and others, there was no way to compete with the necromancer, so .........
"If we can, I hope we can work together."
Eventually, Shanna gritted her teeth and made this suggestion.
"We don't want points, we don't need loot, in fact, my companions and I came here just for a sword. And according to the intelligence, it should be by the necromancer's side, and we hope to be able to join forces with you, as long as we can get that sword, then we can give up the rest. β
Sword?
Hearing Shanna's answer, Rod was slightly stunned.
Why didn't he remember that there was still a sword in this cemetery?
Did you forget?
Or is there some other reason?
Rod frowned and thought carefully for a moment, but did not get an answer. So he simply asked.
"Miss Shanna, I don't remember the Association posting this mission."
"We're getting a private commission."
Shanna shook her head slightly, then replied.
I see.
Hearing Shanna's answer, Rod's doubts in his heart at the moment had also been lifted, so he didn't say anything more, but nodded.
"I can grant your request, but I have one condition."
He spoke, and the red-haired female swordsman was also happy when she heard Rod's answer, but she still asked a little nervously.
"Excuse me, what are your conditions?"
"It's simple."
Rod made a gesture.
"In the rest of the battle, I ask you to obey my command completely."
