Section 312 Fatal X Illusion (17)
It slowly raised its right hand, bent and straightened, as if testing the dexterity of its bones.
"How does it feel?" The voice drew closer, and a figure appeared in the darkness.
It lifted its skull and looked at each other. "No pain may be better for an average fighter, but it's not a good thing for me. In addition, simple bones are more fragile than the previous body. β
"There's nothing you can do about this, let's find a leather armor to wear." The figure moved closer, and a little light bloomed beside him. "Next, you can give yourself a new name --- as a ritual to say goodbye to the past."
"Nope." It shook its head. "My name is still Tertdu."
"Oh?" The figure paused. "Well, it's up to you. I'm Joel. Lo, the vice-captain of the third team of the Angel Legion, the commander of the legion, Legion Commander Shengra. Lowe is my uncle. β
Tertedu looked at the other side. In the faint light, you can see that the other party is wearing a tight leather armor, which wraps the whole body.
Not even the head was exposed.
And his voice was very clear. "You're a skeleton too?" Tertedu asked.
The other party seemed to sigh and did not answer him.
Seeing this, Tertedu didn't ask. "This deer is yours? It has resurrected so many wolves, is it planning to take this camp? β
β... Pretty much. Joel replied. That's my task. It didn't go very well. What are your ideas? β
"This team is not good at close combat." Teltedu said. "Because most of the people who are good at melee combat are dead, and a few are gone."
"yes, but they still wiped out the few batches of little treasures I had gathered earlier." Joel said. "If you rush with them, maybe you can inflict more casualties on them?"
"Rush in together? You mean those bony wolves that rushed in earlier? Tertedu looked into the distance. I see a lot of wolf and deer carcasses in their camps... How the hell is this resurrected? β
"This used to be the testing ground for those gray-robed mages." Joel's voice suddenly became high-pitched. "Here, fate and hope, past and future, instant and eternal, near and the end of the world.... A dream place where countless contradictions and conflicts converge! β
"Here, the eyes will lie to you, the ears will lie to you, the memory will lie to you, the experience will lie to you.... Even your own soul can deceive you! β
After saying this cool remark, Joel laughed. "How? That's the word Harwick used when he first introduced us to this place. Neither my father nor my uncle liked him, but I thought it was great. β
"The Successor team is being attacked here, and other teams are being attacked elsewhere." Teltedu said.
"yes." Joel said. "Originally, this should have been a long time later. But the grey robes suddenly said, 'The conditions are met!' ''Let's get started!'' God knows what they're doing. β
"The attack was a beast." Tertedu looked at the light deer in the distance. "Or the dead beast."
"More than that!" Joel said. "There are also outsiders like you, who have joined us... Well, I don't know the details, but it seems that there are people who have joined us but don't know it themselves. β
"Anyway, it's all the magicians, so it doesn't matter. Now that you're one of us, I'll take you to my uncle! Once I tell him in detail about what you've done before, he'll be happy to see you! β
"Let's do your job first." Teltedu said. "We need to kill them all, don't we?"
β.... That's right. Joel said. That's what I was told, and if you can help, it's a good thing... But the number of bone wolves is not enough, and these people have adapted to the attack. It's hard to take their positions. β
"Andβ" he looked at Tertedu. You've just stood up, and you haven't been able to get used to it. As is customary, your strength is much weaker than before. If you want to take revenge on your own... I'm afraid it can't be done. β
"How many bone wolves are there?" Tertedu asked. "Can you control it in detail?"
"There are only about 300 of them that I can command." Joel said. "They can only be attacked--- strictly speaking, this is a half-finished experiment."
"Only attack," Tertedu muttered, looking at the camp of the Inheritors in the distance. Can I control some of the bone wolves as well? β
Joel hesitated. "It's not impossible. I can give you fifty heads.... With your current situation, you can command so much. β
"That's enough." Teltedu said. "In a moment, you take the bone wolves to the front, and I take them to the back. You start attacking first to get their attention, and then I attack from the rear, and they can't support me under the flanking attack. β
"It's that simple?" Joel hesitated. "It's useless."
"The Successor team now doesn't have any melee members." Teltedu said. "Relying on the accumulation of the past, they can defeat enemies with limited strength. But in the face of continuous shocks, they have only one possibility of collapse. β
"I don't know what kind of attack strategy you used before, but obviously the force was not enough. The bigger mistake is that they are given time to recover and breathe--- so that they have a chance to learn from their experience and regroup. β
"That's right." Joel nodded. "But I can't help it. This kind of attack is arranged from above. β
"Won't they allow you to divide your forces to attack?" Tertedu asked.
"Not really." Joel said. "Then do it. So far, it seems that none of the regions has won the foreign team. If I can get the first place...."
"Can I get promoted?" Tertedu asked.
"Maybe." Joel said. "If you can succeed, it will be a greater merit for you. But be careful, you'd better not go to battle for a while. β
"I feel fine." Tertedu lowered his head and looked at the bones on his body. "Skills and weapons are there."
"That's just looking." Joel hesitated, but said it anyway. "My uncle used to say that if something bad could happen to us, it would happen. In the past, there were some outsiders who joined us and fought the same way as before. As a result, there were all kinds of accidents--- quite a few of them were killed by their own skills or weapons. β
Tertdu hesitated, not daring to say, 'I won't. β
"If that's the case, okay. I'll be a little more careful and command them to fight from a distance. β
