487. The Disruptors
Because Sean, Hela, and William all attach great importance to the characteristics of intelligence, all intelligence personnel in the Void Realm have a very special set of magical communication devices, which are still made by those at the Haytham Institute. However, the materials for this device are extremely expensive, that is, because Sean has an indelible and significant contribution to this teleportation magic array, so the people at the Haytham Institute are willing to help.
Ordinary people want to buy it through normal channels - for example, the people of the Pan-continental Chamber of Commerce Alliance found out about this secret, but no matter how high the price they offered, Hayson Research was still reluctant to hand over the core formula, let alone make it for them. As a result, the Void Realm has a unique advantage in terms of information transmission - but as a magical communication tool, this device still has the potential to be interfered with and stolen.
This is also the reason why the Void Realm still uses human power to report when it obtains some important and special information.
When Cecilia diverted into the Forest of Sighs, the members of the Void Realm who had been sent to contact Cecilia and William were the first to receive the news and sent it back. Therefore, William clearly knew that Cecilia and the others were diverted to the Forest of Sighs, which is why he would blow the wind alone on the top of the mountain to calm the restlessness in his heart, after all, the legend of the Forest of Sighs was no stranger to William, who was once a child of the thousand-year-old Empire.
But then a force that had not been revealed in intelligence suddenly appeared, and was also heading towards the Forest of Sighs, which caused William's great concern.
When William's message to keep an eye on Cecilia and warn Cecilia to be on guard came from Ruby's side, it was passed back to the Forest of Sighs. It's actually a bit late. Because no one expected that this secret force that had entered the Forest of Sighs would actually take a rapid march in this dangerous forest. He even did not hesitate to disturb the awakening of a large number of undead, stirring up the entire long-dormant forest.
And so it goes. For Cecilia and others, there are naturally pros and cons.
The advantage is that wherever these people basically go, those bones will follow, and the sound of battle is basically impossible to hide, so it is easy to identify the traces of the other party. The downside is that it's also very difficult for them to move on now -- but the problem is that in their current situation, they can't move on.
After all, these guys have made such a big fuss, and the people who are responsible for transferring Laice don't find out. That's the hell it was.
"Who the hell are those guys?" Cecilia said with a depressed expression.
It's not that she can't defeat these guys, because with the interference of the use of the realm, Cecilia has been able to successfully perform the big killing move of Solomon's Seventy-two Flames. According to Relista's reconnaissance, although that force is enough to be called elite, its members are not strong, and it cannot threaten the powerhouses of the Sanctuary - but if Relista and the others fall into the encirclement of the enemy army, then they will definitely have to pay the price of casualties to break through.
"That's a pit viper." Angel's brow furrowed, and the look on her face was much more solemn than Cecilia's depression, "A legion worth taking seriously." ”
"That's at most the equivalent of an ace army of a top-tier kingdom. Isn't it a lot in your thousand-year-old empire? Cecilia asked with some confusion, "If it is according to Sean, that legion only has a quasi-sixth-level combat power at most, which can barely threaten the powerhouses of the lower holy realms." But if you really fight hard, you still can't keep the next Sacred Domain powerhouse, at least it's not threatening enough. ”
"Quasi-level six?" Angel looked puzzled.
Seeing Angel's dazed look, Cecilia's little face looked a little proud. This made Angel a little unhappy, but because this theory was invented by Sean. Therefore, Angel could only hold back the unhappiness in her heart and put on a posture of listening. And Cecilia. can also satisfy her inner vanity and show off her close relationship with Sean, she naturally doesn't mind telling Angel about Sean's theory.
Sean's theory was naturally not invented by himself, but the strength reference provided to players in the original game.
Generally speaking, the sixth-level army is enough to threaten the lives of the lower-level Sacred Domain powerhouses, while the seventh-level and eighth-level troops can even threaten the middle and even upper-level Sacred Domain powerhouses. Although the ninth-level army is already the most powerful army in this world, the threat to the legendary powerhouses is not as great as the threat to the sixth, seventh, and eighth-level armies to the powerhouses of the holy realm, after all, the legendary powerhouses are all existences that truly stand at the top of this world.
It's just that if it is not necessary, the legendary powerhouse will generally not go head-to-head with the ninth-level army, after all, it is inevitable to be injured.
In this world, the only one who can really threaten the legendary powerhouse is the only tenth-level army of the Maggie Empire, the Holy Puppet Army.
Like the quasi-sixth-level legion called "Pit Viper" in front of him, if it is delegated to a super-first-class kingdom, it is definitely enough to become a top five legion, and this kind of legion is usually not used unless there are special circumstances, this is the definition of "trump card". However, for the Seven Great Empires, it is difficult for a legion like the "Pit Viper" to rank in the top five, especially in the Millennium Covenant Empire and empires such as the Cinnas Empire and the Emelia Empire, which have extremely strong military capabilities.
"Is it possible to distinguish the combat effectiveness of the legion by numerical grading?" Angel nodded thoughtfully, "If it is according to the division of Grand Duke Sean, then the Frost Legion under my command is probably the standard of the fifth-level legion...... Maybe a little stronger than the average fifth-level legion. ”
"What kind of legion is this pit viper, it's very powerful?" Although Cecilia doesn't like Angel very much, but that's only because Angel likes Sean, in all fairness, Angel is indeed very good, compared to the general traditional definition of genius, Angel can be regarded as a genius among geniuses.
"The Pit Viper Legion is a personal guard under the command of the Marquis of the Demon Snake, although the number of people is only about a thousand, but the combat effectiveness is very high. Because it is said that the Marquis of the Demon Snake trained this legion in the same way as cultivating dragon knights. "No one knows better than Angel about the military power and aristocratic system within the Millennium Covenant Empire." With equal numbers, my Frost Legion is no match for the Viper Legion. Especially in dense forest terrain like this. …… It takes at least 3,000 to be able to win. ”
"Marquis of the Demon Snake, I remember that it wasn't the nobles of the southern part of the empire?" Cecilia said a little confused.
"There have always been rumors that he is a rebel party, but this time he did not participate in the internal strife in the empire, but instead took a posture of watching the fire from the other side." Angel's voice was a little low, "But for the current situation in the Empire, as long as the Marquis of Demon Snake maintains a neutral attitude, it is enough. This is also the reason why it has always been rumored that the Marquis of the Demon Snake is a rebel party, but the empire has never taken action against it. After all, there is no evidence on the one hand, and on the other hand, he does not want to completely tear his face and push him to the camp of the rebel party. ”
"It's a complicated relationship." Cecilia shrugged, "This legion shouldn't have a single strong combat unit in numbers. ”
The last sentence was said to Relista and others, who were in charge of the investigation before.
"I'm afraid to approach, but judging by our experience, there should be about a hundred to two hundred people." Rilista replied, "There are a few vague breaths in it that make me feel very scary. So we didn't even dare to get too close, we could only observe from afar. ”
"That's a lot of money." Rena whistled, "Wouldn't you dare to send so many living people in a place like the Forest of Sighs, not afraid of attracting the Abyss Death Rider?" …… That's not a good thing to deal with. ”
"They're smart. Go straight only from the edges. Not overly deep. …… There must be a strong magician in their ranks. ”
As a magician, Cecilia could feel the aura of death throughout the forest, after all, this aura was also a type of magical power. So this is the reason why Cecilia and the others were able to skillfully avoid the big troubles in the Sighing Forest. It's not that they haven't encountered higher-level undead creatures before, but they have all been solved by Rena. Only those skeleton warriors and the like will let Rilista and the others practice.
Forest of sighs. It's much more dangerous than the outside world rumors.
"Their target is also Laith's team, I ......just don't know," Cecilia pondered for a moment, as if thinking about something, before she spoke, "...... Whether it's the same as our goal. If we have different goals, we may be able to join forces with each other. ”
"No way!" Angel flatly vetoed, "I will never cooperate with the Imperial Rebel Party!" ”
Cecilia glanced at Angel, originally Angel thought that there would be at least one fierce quarrel between them, and it was even very likely that they would part ways, but she didn't expect Cecilia to actually nod and agree with Angel's words: "Okay, since you insist so much, then we won't cooperate." …… But then we have two groups of enemies to deal with. ”
"In other words, we need to find Laice faster than these guys?" Rena asked.
"That's right." Cecilia nodded, "Then we're going to change our course of action." ”
As Cecilia's words fell, Angel probably understood Cecilia's plan, but she only showed a slight hesitation between her eyebrows, and then quickly disappeared, seemingly deciding not to oppose Cecilia's actions. As for the other people present, they were naturally even less likely to refute Cecilia's upcoming plan, after all, in terms of status, they were originally Cecilia's subordinates.
As a result, the crowd soon parted ways.
Relista and the others, continue to move forward to find the whereabouts of Laith, they will leave identification marks along the way for Cecilia and others to identify, and Rena is responsible for accompanying and protecting in case of special circumstances. Cecilia, Angel, Kokire, and Tini are responsible for intercepting the Viper Legion's team and ensuring that they don't cause any trouble to Rilista and the others.
When Cecilia made this decision, Angel knew that Cecilia was going to go all out and solve the problem as quickly as possible. After all, this pit viper legion's action team only has about 200 people, and if it has a strong combat unit, then it may be able to cause some trouble for one of Tiny, Cecilia, and Angel, but with such a small number of people at the moment, even without Kokire, it will not be able to pose a threat to Cecilia and the others.
Bringing Kokire with him is also to prevent some kind of unexpected situation.
In terms of tactics, Cecilia, like William, believes in the core idea of "the lion fights the rabbit with all his might", which is different from Hela's penchant for "building momentum and then taking advantage of the situation to suppress people". Of course, if you look at it from a strategic perspective, Hella is actually better, especially when Hella formulates a strategic approach and William is in charge of the implementation of tactics, the cooperation of the two can be called a nightmare for the enemy.
……
It's not difficult to find the pit viper legion's squad, just follow the movement in the forest.
This is a very peculiarly equipped unit.
Most of the armor on their bodies is leather armor mixed with iron sheets, which can only be woven by hand, and the process is extremely cumbersome, so it is usually very expensive. A set of iron sheet leather armor with such a production process can basically buy a set of light armor, and the defense ability is much higher than this iron sheet leather armor, so it is rare to use this kind of armor when purchasing armaments.
Of course, compared with light armor, this kind of iron sheet leather armor is undoubtedly much more flexible and breathable, which is very suitable for use in some special terrains. And if there is any slight damage, this leather armor can also be repaired directly on the spot, which is very suitable for attrition and protracted warfare.
However, at this time, Cecilia's eyes did not fall on these equipment, but on their standard weapons.
A military short bow - this kind of bow is a military bow modeled after the hunting bow, the effective range is only 50 meters, but the penetration power is very strong at this distance, and it is most suitable for use in the forest. In addition, there is a short knife, a round shield, and a short spear, which basically completely cover the attack ability of short, medium, and long at three different distances.
This is a legion that is very good at jungle warfare.
It's no wonder that Angel said that in the jungle area, the Frost Legion under her command must be at least three times as long as the other party to have a chance of winning.
"They're resting now, this is our best chance to attack......" Cecilia cautiously approached, looked at the pit viper army who were resting and resting, and then said in a low voice, "Angel and Tiney, you make an ice wall to limit their range of movement, and then I will concentrate on their crowd ......"
"Oh, oh, this young lady, you can't do that."
An old voice suddenly interrupted Cecilia's tactical arrangement. (To be continued......)
