Chapter 469: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
The light of the dim oil lamp was unusually faint under the wind and rain, and they could hardly see the distance of two or three meters in front of them, and because of this dim light, when everyone looked up and looked around, they only saw infinitely deep, pitch-black night. It was as if the solid darkness had been dispelled by the firelight and then condensed around it, forming a thick, solid wall.
The foot is unusually slippery, this is a barren mountain, the mountain is full of stones, now under the influence of the rain has become quite slippery, everyone walks very carefully, for fear that if one accidentally falls to the ground, if he slides down, then it will be completely finished.
Mercenaries with lanterns walked on either side, they held oil lamps in one hand and long swords in the other, and watched warily. And beside them were heavily armed companions, after all, everyone knew very well that on such a dark and windy night, if the enemy wanted to sneak attack, as long as he eliminated the three people who held the light source, then he could easily kill them like slaughtering a fish on a chopping board. And the old council president was surrounded by everyone in the center, and walked towards the lower part of the body step by step.
In order to cooperate with the old council leader's movements, everyone walked very slowly, and the hillside was slippery and steep, and they did not go out of the road for a full ten minutes, and in front of them there was still a silent darkness and torrential rain, as if the enemies who were hidden deep in them and waiting for the opportunity did not exist at all.
Victor held his sword and watched warily ahead, Rhodes disappeared after walking out of the hole, but he wasn't worried that the other party would miss out on being caught by those guys. Thinking of this, Victor suddenly felt a little strange in his heart, in fact, then again, both sides were actually playing the same game of "luring the snake out of the hole", and those damn trackers wanted to lure them out of the hole and cut off their retreat. And they also want to lure the other party to attack, so that they can catch it all.
It's a life-and-death game, and only one side can stand at the bottom of the line.
So, then it's a matter of timing.
Come to think of it. Victor couldn't help but turn his head to look at the cave not far away, they were already some distance away from the cave now, but the other party was obviously very cautious, and did not attack until now. It could be seen that those guys were also waiting for the opportunity, and of course Victor knew what they were thinking, and the other party thought that they were most likely tempting, so he deliberately let go and gave them a chance to ride the tiger. If Victor and the others really meant to be tempting. Then after discovering that there is no ambush ahead, they may hesitate or even go deeper, and when that time comes, they can say that they have caught it all.
It's a really dangerous situation.
Thinking of this, Victor couldn't help but take a deep breath, if it weren't for the help of Rhodes and the others, maybe in the end they would have a trap in front of them. I can only walk in with my head down. Although Victor is strong, he is not good at head-on collisions, and Battle is much better than him in this regard. Regardless of whether there is a mountain of knives or a sea of fire ahead, there is only one way for Battle to charge forward. To be honest, sometimes Victor does envy Battle for not caring about anythingββββ but that doesn't mean he has to learn from the other party.
Almost.
Thinking of this, Victor stretched out his hand and made a gesture, and when they saw his gesture, everyone quickly stopped. Victor turned his head slightly and whispered to a mercenary beside him.
"Inform everyone to get ready to pay attention. If I'm not mistaken, they should be on the offensive soon. β
Victor said, looking up at the darkness in the distanceβββ where there was nothing.
"Captain, they've stopped!"
Hearing the words in his ear, Feywood took a sip, then turned his head and glared coldly at the idiot.
"Shut your mouth, I'm not blind. Have eyes to see......... Give me and so on. They should be in a bit of a hurry by now, don't be so anxious. Idiot, the siege behind him is not fully formed, listen to my orders, if any idiot does not obey orders, see how I clean him up! β
Sure enough, the mercenaries stopped for a short moment before continuing to move forward, heading down the mountain.
Hum......... Humans are really greedy and don't know how to give up, even when their lives are in danger, but that's fine, their subordinates should have completed the siege, as long as they go further.........
In the dim light, the mercenaries had already walked halfway up the mountain, perhaps because they were familiar with the rainy weather, and their speed was much faster than the turtle crawl at the beginning. There must also be a limit to the hunter's indulgence of his prey, otherwise it will not bode well for the two sides to change their positions.
Thinking of this, Feiwood reached into his arms again, pressed the pendant on his chest, and soon, the night in front of him changed color again, with the help of the power of this night vision device, Feiwood clearly saw that his subordinates had quietly touched the back of the mercenaries at this moment, the encirclement network had been completed, and at this moment they were also raising their heads and looking in the direction where they were, it was obvious that they were waiting for their instructions.
Don't miss the opportunity, and never miss it.
Feywood gestured to his men, then he lowered his head and reached out for the dagger at his waist.
Storms are on the rise.
The mercenaries' spirits were completely tense to the extreme, and their eyes widened as they watched every corner of the rain curtain in front of them, fearing that an arm holding a dagger would suddenly reach out from there. But even with all their might, they still couldn't get hold of their viper-like opponents.
"Hoo ........."
Victor lowered his head and sighed, and at this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then Victor's right-handed sword suddenly swung to the side!
A strong sword aura rose from the ground, sweeping the rain and mist and flying in all directions like waves, and at this moment, a pitch-black dagger suddenly burst out of the rain curtain and stabbed straight into Victor's chest. Victor, on the other hand, turned his sword back in an instant, only to hear two crisp communication sounds, and in an instant, the long sword and the dagger collided heavily, and seeing that the blow missed, the assassin who was completely black immediately rolled on the ground, and then took advantage of the momentum to attack the mercenary next to him.
"There's an enemy attack!!"
Accompanied by the mercenaries' angry shouts, dozens of ethereal voices suddenly appeared in the originally calm rain and mist, holding daggers stained with lethal venom without the slightest reflection in their hands. Like ghosts, they approached the mercenaries from all directions, like a pack of fierce hungry wolves, howling and stretching out their claws to pounce on the life in front of them, trying to completely extinguish their fire of life in this rainy night.
"Don't stop you!! Keep moving!! β
Victor waved the long sword in his hand without the slightest hesitation, and the strong air flow that erupted roared, and dozens of sharp wind blades flew out with Victor's movements, tearing through the rain curtain and tearing apart everything that dared to stand in their way. He shouted and moved, and continued unwaveringly. At the same time, Victor didn't look around. Left and right, there was still no figure of Rod everywhere, and the only thing he could do at this moment was to wait, continue to wait for the other party's response, and at the same time insist on walking towards the lower part of the body. Hearing Victor's order, the mercenaries who were fending off the Assassin's attack also shouted. For a moment, they burst out with great force, wielding the weapons in their hands so vigorously that even those assassins had no way to fight in close quarters.
"They're in a death throes!!"
Looking at this scene in front of him, Feywood gritted his teeth and snorted coldly, this is not his delusion, but reality. In this crazy rainy night, the power of nature will invisibly restrain their play, and besides, what if they behave like supermen one by one? There were only ten of them. There are sixty people on his side, and with such an obvious numerical advantage, can he still let this group of guys run away?
Thinking of this, Feywood immediately stretched out the fingers of his right hand and put them in his mouth and blew hard.
βββββοΌοΌβ
The sharp and regular whistle for a moment drowned out the noise and the clashing of weapons in the rainstorm, but soon, several more whistles responded, and then in the sight of Felwood's "dark vision", the reinforcements he had already arranged were constantly approaching them from all directions. And the damned mercenaries stopped again after rushing out of the way for a while. They are already turtles in an urn, and there is no way back......
Felwood withdrew his gaze in satisfaction. He got up from his hiding place, and then he was going to join the battle, those mercenaries are not easy to deal with, if you want to deal with them completely, traps and conspiracies are not enough, thinking of this, Feiwood showed a sinister smile, and at this moment, someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder.
"Which bastard is it, if you have something to say, you can ............... it quickly"
Feywood turned his head, but he wasn't finished. The sharp dagger silently pierced his throat, and the sudden sharp pain and the pain caused by the lack of oxygen made Feiwood's eyes widen in surprise, and he stared in horror at the guy standing behind him, dressed in black, and wearing a pitch-black maskβββWho is this guy?" How did he end up here? What's going on?
Feywood's eyes flickered, it was a sign that the "dark vision" had completely disappeared, and he could no longer see the existence of the other party in front of his eyes, and he himself had completely fallen into the dark abyss.
Rod pulled out his short sword, grabbed the pendant on the opponent's chest and tore it off with his hand, then put it in front of his eyes and observed it for a moment, raising his eyebrows.
Dark vision pendant, this is really a good thing, it seems that this group of lackeys of the council really has a rich collection, and even such a good thing......... But now is not the time to pay attention to this, thinking of this, Rod raised his head, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and stared ahead. There, dozens of black-clad figures were rushing towards Victor and the others, and it seemed that they couldn't support it anymore, as if they were about to be completely devoured by this group of jackalsβββ but in Rod's opinion, those ferocious jackals were just moths to the fire.
Thinking of this, Rod stretched out his finger and put the ring on the index finger of his right hand to his mouth.
"The bait is already in the net, and the action begins."
Then he spoke.
At this time, the situation on Victor's side is already extremely dangerous. After a moment of desperate breakout, they came under more intense sniping than before, which forced Victor to give up for the time being, and he stopped and exploded with all his strength to disperse the damned hungry wolves, while his men were now starting to get tired, they were back to back, wielding heavy swords. With a shield in hand, the old council leader was already half-squatting on the ground by a few people in the middle, and there was no way to move forward. They don't even dare to show their heads, for fear of being attacked by others.
In the midst of the rainstorm, everything went haywire.
"Get out of here!!"
A burly mercenary wielded his two-handed sword vigorously to drive away an assassin dressed in black, and he roared two steps forward, the giant sword in his hand swinging fiercely. The roar tore through the raindrops and the icy night wind and stabbed straight into the other's body. And the assassin was not able to dodge in the face of such a fierce attack, he hurriedly moved, trying to retreat, but the huge sharp blade suddenly slashed deep into his shoulder, and in a moment the unlucky worm collapsed to the ground like mud, and just as the mercenary was about to withdraw his sword. Suddenly, another assassin leaped out from his side, and he pounced straight on the prey in front of him like a poisonous insect, and the dagger in his hand instantly pierced into the mercenary's arm.
"Wooh!!"
The attacked mercenary roared in pain, and his instinctive punch swept through it and threw the guy who was hanging on his arm with a dagger out of the air, but he couldn't run out of the gang to settle accounts with the guy who dared to attack him, because at the same time, two more figures rushed towards him from another direction.........
This is not just for a mercenary, but also for Victor's subordinates. As Feywood thought, numbers were their fatal wound. It is true that the people brought by Victor to the Soragon Mountains are all guild elites, but the Council of Light sent here is not as simple as a waste lackey, the two sides are almost equal in terms of strength and equipment, so what they have to rely on next is more objective conditions, such as numbers or luck.
Good luck is long overdue.
Soon, Victor noticed a noticeable changeβββ the opponent's offensive began to become messy, and it was not as violent and turbulent as the one he had just come. Opposite. They seem to be doing something they can't handle, but it's only a subtle change. But it didn't affect the big picture too much.
And that's just the beginning.
Joey lowered himself and quietly lowered the corpse to the ground, he glanced left and right, and happened to see another target rushing forward, towards the dim light of the fire in the distance. Without the slightest hesitation, Joey instantly jumped up and threw himself behind the other party, and at this moment, the assassin seemed to sense that something was wrong in front of him, he hurriedly turned around, and was immediately surprised when he saw Joey in front of himβββ although the other party was also wearing a pitch-black costume, but the strange mask could tell that he was definitely not his own. However, the assassin reacted quickly, and he quickly swung his dagger at Joey, while his body did not move, and he retreated to the side like flowing water.
Until another dagger pierced his chest from behind.
Looking at the corpse that fell to the ground, Joey nodded to his companion who appeared not far in front of him, dressed in the same way as himself, after seeing the other party's gesture, Joey smiled hesitantly, and then he also raised the ring on his right hand and put it to his mouth.
"Boss, there's no problem with the periphery, it's done!"
ββββββββββ
A bright, colorful wall of ice suddenly appeared, blocking all attacks.
The mercenaries held their weapons in their hands, staring at the cold wall that suddenly appeared in front of them, completely unsure of what to say, and they even thought for a moment that this was also an attack from the other party. But soon, they realized that they had misjudged.
"There's an enemy attack?!"
After seeing this ice wall, the assassins who were originally besieging the mercenaries also retreated in a panic at this time, they were not fools, they had already sensed that something was wrong the moment the ice wall appeared, you must know that there were no mages in these mercenaries, and now, there was an ice wall that only mages could cast! What does this mean? Oops, is this ...............
βFirsyοΌβ
Marlene hid behind Anne's shield, quietly watching the battlefield in front of her, as her slender fingers crossed the last horizontal line in the darkness, connecting the magical runes suspended in the air. And under the cover of the rain, the low chant ended.
"Boomββββ! ~οΌ β
A flame suddenly appeared from behind the Assassins, stretching out to the left and right like a long dancing snake. On the other side, as if echoing this, fierce flames suddenly erupted on the originally empty ground, and they swept over the ground like waves washing the shore, slapping the ground and rolling forward. The figure of Seven Love appeared in it, and she chuckled and stretched out her finger, pointing forward.
"I'm sorry, this road doesn't work, let's go in a different direction."
βββββββοΌοΌβ
For the first time, the Assassins were terrified at the sea of flames that had formed a circle and enveloped them, and although they still had more than forty men and were well armed, they were as powerless as naked babies in the face of the blazing flames.
The dikes collapsed, the walls collapsed.
The scorching flames roared forward, mixed with water vapor and rushed towards the black shadow in front of them.
From a distance, the red light flashed between the mountains.
Then everything went dark again.
