69. Sean's Perfect Strategy (1)
The fight below continues.
However, the side with the largest number has become the weaker, and the side with the smaller number has the upper hand.
In fact, without the intervention of that magician, the people of the Bloody Weeping Mercenary Group would not have had a chance to turn defeat into victory. Although the special ability of hard armor solidification has greatly improved the strength of the Crypt Demons, the class strength is a hard injury that cannot be easily changed and improved after all, so if you fight hard, the people of the Bloody Mercenary Group may suffer heavy casualties, but they will win in the end.
Under the fierce battle, the amber hard armor on a crypt demon has been slashed to almost nothing, and his combat ability has obviously decreased a lot compared to the previous bravery, but the people of the Bloody Weeping Mercenary Group still dare not fight him completely. Because at this moment, all they are thinking about is how to escape from here, and they have no intention of fighting to the death.
In Sean's eyes, the quality of these Bloody Mercenary Corps was even inferior to the Jackal Mercenary Corps, and he was very skeptical about how this mercenary group could become the number one villain mercenary group in Cerroda Village. If the team led by Sean were faced with such a situation, he would definitely personally take the lead attack and forcibly kill the crypt demon to increase the success rate of the team's retreat.
But now, the leader of the group of mercenaries himself hid behind the team for fear of being controlled by the magician's mental invasion. This kind of behavior undoubtedly lowers the morale of the whole team, if even the leader of a group can't set an example, then how to convince the whole team?
It was only a matter of time before they fled.
But the question is, will these cave demons and the magician let these people escape?
In the crowd, there was another commotion.
Sean and Alfred and the others don't need to pay attention to it, they can know that it must be another mercenary controlled by the spiritual invasion of the magician, this is already the fourth. As a magician who mainly focuses on soul energy spiritual magic, with sufficient magic and spiritual power support, he can probably perform about ten spiritual invasions, and now that this magician has cast four times, it stands to reason that he should be able to cast this magic six more times.
However, Sean was keenly aware that this magician escaped from the corridor under the escort of two crypt demons, and his body was quite embarrassed, which proved that he had definitely fought with the people of the Bloody Weeping Mercenary Group in the corridor before, and the only thing he was not sure about was how many times he had performed the magic of spiritual invasion.
This is a very crucial factor, and it is impossible for Sean not to think about it carefully.
Alfred certainly had thirty-two points of will, which was enough to resist the magic of spiritual invasion, but this resistance was based on the strength of the magician who was only equivalent to the magician in the kobold gathering place before. And if the current strength of this magician is stronger than the previous one, or if the magic of spiritual invasion is "upgraded", then with the level of Alfred's thirty-two points of will, it is very likely that he will also be controlled.
Sean didn't want to swing his sword at Alfred.
"What's wrong?" Alfred sensed something strange about Sean.
"I've performed four psychic invasions." Sean's voice was a little low, at this time, on the platform below, there were only thirteen people left in the Bloody Weeping Mercenary Group, on the other hand, on the side of the Crypt Demons, there were two people with broken amber hard armor, but there was no substantial damage, "But that magician didn't look tired at all." ”
Alfred frowned slightly, and immediately understood what Sean meant.
He was originally a Potoloa, and it is impossible for him not to know the common sense of magic, although the magic consumption of soul energy is indeed not high, but the consumption of spiritual power is relatively large. There were four spiritual invasions in succession, but the expression on his face was still calm as before, and there was no obvious change, which is really worth pondering.
"Looks like Cecilia can't go to the show." Sean sighed, he really didn't want to see Cecilia go on an adventure, but if any of the three of them was really sure to fight against psychic magic, Cecilia was really the only one.
Although she is only a magician apprentice, her current will is as high as thirty-seven points, unless it is a third-level magic of "spirit puppet", otherwise it will not be able to have any impact on Cecilia at all, and even like the magician in the kobold gathering place at the beginning, she will be completely disadvantaged by Cecilia's counterattack.
And Cecilia, when she heard Sean say that she could fight in person, she naturally showed an excited look.
Below, the battle seems to have come to an end.
The people of the Bloody Weeping Mercenary Regiment no longer have the will to resist, they only want to escape, but the Crypt Demons will never let these people leave. They were like wolves, cruising around their fat prey, and then rushing up at the right moment to bite and tear off the bloody piece of fat.
"It's the fifth time." Sean's gaze was very solemn.
Below, there were only seven people left in the Bloody Weeping Mercenary Group, including the leader who was greedy for life and afraid of death. He was crazy and wanted to rush back into the corridor, but the crypt demons who had been guarding against him were entangled with him, not letting him have any possibility of escaping at all, these crypt demons were actually trying to annihilate them all! Even the two Crypt Demon Defenders, who were in charge of protecting the mage, had already surrounded them to stop the humans from escaping.
Originally, with four against twenty-two, the Blood Weeping Mercenary Group was already under extreme pressure and was completely at a disadvantage. At this moment, six against seven, how can the Bloody Weeping Mercenary Group hold on? But it is precisely because of this kind of mortal battle that it stimulates the blood of these mercenaries, and the fighting style has changed from the previous conservative to be extremely fierce, and the crypt demons were actually restrained for a while.
Sean shook his head, he had nothing to say about these fools who didn't know the art of fighting at all. He only knew that his time was ripe, so he shouted "go", and the whole person jumped out of the cave first, slid down the slope, jumped up when he was close to the platform, jumped a few meters away, and killed the battle circle of the Crypt Demon and the Blood Weeping Mercenary Group in another sprint.
With such a sound, it was naturally impossible to hide it from those crypt demons and magicians, but Sean had no intention of hiding it from them.
They were followed by Alfred and Cecilia.
He followed Sean's instructions and jumped out of the cave with Cecilia in his arms, sliding down the slope under the cave in a dashing manner, just as Sean did. But perhaps because of holding Cecilia, Alfred did not jump off the slope, but naturally slipped to the platform before standing up, gently putting down Cecilia, and then flicked his hands slightly, actually took off the blade of his fist, turned around and rushed towards the battle circle of the Crypt Demon and the Bloody Weeping Mercenary Regiment.
"Alfred!" When several members of the Bloody Mercenary Group saw the comer, they all let out a shout of joy.
They may hate and fear Alfred, but that is from the perspective of hostility, and if it is an alliance, they will welcome it very much, after all, Alfred's strength is there. If it weren't for Sir Fregan's influence, there were many mercenary groups that wanted to be able to bring Alfred under his command, of course, no one would have thought that Alfred would have been taken under Sean's command now.
He didn't care about Sir Fregen.
Alfred, who was advancing, picked up the heavy axe and held it in his hand.
When he was in the cave before, he had already taken a fancy to this heavy axe, although there was no tip of the spear, but this heavy axe was also a long weapon after all, and with Alfred's [Long Weapon Mastery], this was really a weapon that was enough to exert all his strength.
The momentum suddenly changed in Alfred.
Fierce, fierce, and domineering!
The Crypt Demon also realized the difficulty of this sudden appearance, and separated two Crypt Demons with good hard armor and turned around to kill, trying to flank Alfred on the left and right, and completely take it down. Because for them, the only seven people left in the Bloody Weeping Mercenary Group obviously have no combat ability, so they don't need to worry too much at all, as long as they don't let them escape.
Whether it was the Crypt Demon or the magician of the Medusa Chamber of Commerce, or the people of the Bloody Crying Mercenary Regiment, they all subconsciously ignored Sean who rushed to him.
In fact, with Sean's strength that is only at the level of an apprentice, he really won't be taken seriously by these people.
In their opinion, Sean's sprinting behavior is simply courageous and unstrategic.
And bravery, that also requires strength to match, without strength and want to show bravery, that is not self-sufficient.
Is Sean really overwhelmed?
On the edge of the battle circle, draw the sword out of its sheath.
With a soft sword roar, Charles's saber was held tightly in Sean's hand, and the sword body shining with magical brilliance instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Sean's wrist moved slightly, the blade slid through the air, and the long sword stared at the Crypt Demon on the right next to him like a poisonous snake trying to flank Alfred. His hard amber armor was as sharp as a piece of tissue paper that could be torn apart at the slightest moment of stabbing under the sharpness of Charles's sword, and it did not play any protective role at all.
The sword slashed diagonally, from the bottom left to the top right, Sean's movements were as gentle as caressing his lover's ketone body, but the sharpness of the blade spoke of the danger of this action. The tip of the sword, picked out from the left shoulder of the crypt demon, there were no stone chips bursting out, only the tip of the sword trembling slightly, and then an extremely fast sword fell, and the connection between the two swords did not pause at all, as smooth as a single movement.
There was no howling wind, but an arm was cut off!
The Crypt Demon let out a terrible scream, but Sean acted as if he hadn't heard anything, his eyes focused and sharp, and the longsword slashed back with a backhand, just to protect his side, blocking the heavy sword counterattack of the Crypt Demon on the left.
Sean took two steps back with his strength, and then swung his right hand with the sword to the right casually, as if to drive away the fatigue of his right hand and relax the tense muscles. However, the tip of the sword pierced the heart of the cave demon who had one of his arms removed, stopping the cave demon's screams in his throat.
"Click".
A shapeless piece of hard amber armor fell to the ground, and the crypt demon's chest, which Sean had pierced through the heart with a sword, had lost a large chunk of the amber armor that protected him, as if the front breastplate of an armor had been removed.
Inside the cave, on the platform, everyone was shocked.
A crypt demon with the strength of a lower bronze and the solidification of hard armor was actually killed by Sean, a man who was obviously only an apprentice!
Whether it was the magician of the Medusa Chamber of Commerce or the people of the Bloody Mercenary Regiment, they all looked incredulous. Because they knew very well how powerful and terrifying these hard-armored cave demons were, the extremely strong contrast of the scene in front of them naturally made them feel extremely shocked.
But in fact, in this world, I am afraid that no one can know the Crypt Demon better than Sean. Whether it's their strengths or ......
Weakness.
But this is only the first step in Sean's perfect strategy.
Drawing his sword away, the dead Crypt Demon fell, and Sean turned his head to the other Crypt Demon closest to him.
At this time, Alfred, who rushed from behind, was able to pass by Sean and entered the battle circle first.
