Chapter 95: Withered Edelweiss
However, Rielli's worries finally failed to come true. Although the group, who had become a loser, met hostile elements in groups of three or three on the way back, they did not have an organized blockade, but were more like a daily search as usual. So they did not spend too much effort to solve the three or two kittens.
Looking at the corpse that was still on the side of the road, Barrett breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the guys from the Mammoth Dynasty do not have the ability to completely surround us! Is the previous wave of attacks the limit of their power in a short period of time?"
"If this is the case, then I'll be relieved! I was worried that those guys would send people to chase us and fight Waxon all the way!" Claudia didn't forget to pat her chest with her hand.
Clematis immediately gave his friend a elbow: "You have too much thought! How long has the battle between the Mammoth Dynasty and the Seven Cities Alliance ended? Just such a little time is not enough for them to lick their wounds! How could they carry out such an action with the danger of exploding the conflict again?"
Although the organizational ability of the nomadic tribal political system was relatively poor, the war potential was also immeasurable. It can be said that the technological gap brought about by science and technology during the cold weapon era was not so difficult to catch up. Barbarism and ignorance often defeated civilization and civilization.
Therefore, it is impossible to say that they cannot afford enough manpower to eat the expedition team in front of them. Although the "Goddess of Wealth and Commerce" church is powerful, even if the entire northern city-state is fully mobilized, it is necessary to retreat. However, the branches in the seven-city alliance in front of them are far from enough resources in terms of force.
In fact, their actions will be chosen during this period, which is probably one of the possible targets of intervention after careful consideration. They must have considered the actions of the Mammoth Dynasty. The friction among the Northland city-state last year was obviously considered by them as one of the important guarantees for the success of this action.
During that conflict, the Seven Cities Alliance achieved the final strategic victory. They not only pulled out the nails of the Mammoth Dynasty near them, but also killed a large number of giants and mammoths that the other party relied on. When the peace proposal was finally signed, it was not only a matter of regaining the lost land, but also not economically gaining any advantage by the Mammoth Dynasty.
Of course, while achieving a major strategic victory, the Seven Cities Alliance did not take any advantage in tactical terms. ((?(The exchange ratio of casualties is even more at a disadvantage. It can be said that the Seven Cities Alliance relies on its own solid capital and use the disadvantaged pair to kill the Mammoth Dynasty.
Of course, such victory is a miserable victory for the top leaders, and the poor at the lower levels feel even more painful. In reality, there is also a generation of blood shedding, leading to the rise of surrenderism in the later wars. In the game, the Seven Cities Alliance did not want to clash with the Mammoth Dynasty again in a short time. This is the northern land with relatively strong folk customs. If you want to change to the commercial republic in the south, you may have prepared the annual monies plan.
Of course, while the Seven Cities Alliance suffered heavy losses, the Mammoth Dynasty, as the loser, was not having a good time. They had a thin foundation, and it took more time to recover after suffering heavy damage. This was a bit like the Bald Eagle and the Bald Eagle during World War II. Even after the same battle, the Bald Eagle family suffered greater losses, but the opponent's warships were fighting more and more. On the contrary, the Bald Eagle family was almost bleeding from this throat slash.
It is precisely because of this factor that the "Goddess of Wealth and Business" church in the Seven Cities Alliance chose to take action now! However, they seem to have underestimated the strength of the Mammoth Dynasty, or ignored the impact of their actions on the Mammoth Dynasty. This is why the situation in front of them emerges.
"Clematis is right! If it weren't for the fact that his own strength had not yet recovered, they wouldn't have sent out this little manpower, so that we could evacuate safely. Not to mention using an avalanche tactic." Barret nodded, "So as long as the actions of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business' churches came down, they would not be disturbing their nerves. After proving that we are not soft persimmons, the other party should not be sending people to chase and intercept them."
"Although it's safe, this time the mission is probably completely ruined." Speaking of this, Lalu kicked the snow on the roadside with her feet, "This is the first time we failed under Barrett's leadership!"
"If the captain is not there, there should be 12 more times. But this is indeed the first time when he is in charge of his own!" Claudia pointed his lips with her fingers and agreed.
Barrett smiled helplessly: "There is always a first for everything! And in large regional tasks like this, the impact our team can have is not great. No matter how good we perform, once there is any problem with the chosen camp, it can only end in failure! After all, for the overall trend, we are just insignificant little people."
"In other words, all we need to do is always on the side of the winner." Rielli immediately summed up Barrett's remarks.
But Barrett smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's easy to always stand on the winner's side. But it's not small at all! Before the final result of the confrontation comes out, who can determine who he is, will definitely win!"
"This requires more complete intelligence collection capabilities, and fortunately, I will push you before joining." Rielli touched her chin and made her suggestions.
However, Barrett did not agree much: "Collecting intelligence can indeed play a certain role. However, the final victory is often affected by many unexpected consequences. In other words, except for the confrontation that can be seen from the beginning, the outcome of the victory or defeat is still difficult to judge!"
"In other words, you can only stand on the side with the largest winning side as much as possible. But you can't guarantee that you will win, right?" Rielli frowned while walking.
Barrett continued to use strong medicine at this time: "As our strength improves, we will be exposed to tasks that will have increasingly impacted. And when our own strength is not enough to affect the situation, the possibility of failure in the future will become higher and higher."
"Why do I feel the brighter the more I hear it?" Claudia couldn't help complaining. "Barrett, you're not trying to scare us on purpose!"
"No! No! No! No! I don't have any alarmist words. This is just a vaccination for you." But then Barret suddenly changed his voice, "Of course, the failure of the overall task does not mean that participants like us will definitely suffer losses. Just like this time, after the failure of the church's actions of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Business', we still have a lot of money. But the profit is far less than that of the success of the action."
"You are really open-minded! In the eyes of many people, if you make less, your own money will fly away." Clematis said with a smile.
Barrett took the conversation playfully: "Those who are like this must be short of life. There are so many accidents in this world. According to that personality, you will be angry to death sooner or later!"
In the situation where you can't help, it's better for people to be more open-minded. It's precisely with this form that the player's retreat can not affect his emotions. Because it's not like he was when he came. The number of people in the team naturally affects the degree of progress. When the team comes to the foot of the mountain, there are more than twice as many players than when they came.
After entering the nearest town, Barrett did not forget to look at the Elal Mountains. This was your first snow-capped mountain trip and a place where everyone returned in a desperate situation. Fortunately, the town at the foot of the mountain is not small, and after so many people poured in at one go, it can still be digested.
However, while conducting a short rest, the hiring armed forces of the "Goddess of Wealth and Business" church did not relax their vigilance. After all, everyone did not know whether the people who attacked before would have regrouped. You should know that although the camp defeated the enemy in the canyon at that time, due to the long-term disadvantage, the number of enemies killed seemed relatively limited.
More importantly, the opponent's spell casting, and relatively precious troops such as the singer are less affected. Even if the cannon fodder used to charge dies, it will not be difficult to pull up the second batch with just a little effort. Therefore, everyone is worried about the enemy's re-action.
Fortunately, after resting in the town for two days, he still did not encounter a possible large-scale attack. At the same time, news came from various temples of the Seven Cities Alliance. The main priests who had fallen into an avalanche were basically safe. However, the comrades who were with them at that time suffered great losses.
Many of these comrades were helped through friendly relations between the two organizations. In short, the next thing was enough to worry about the "Goddess of Wealth and Business". Clematis couldn't help but be glad: "The signal was not the main priest died because of this, otherwise the temples in the Seven Cities Alliance would have to go into chaos."
The main priest of any church temple cannot be vacant for a long time. As long as someone dies, the vacant actions will naturally inevitably attract the potential competitors below to get ready. Although the indigenous people in the game also enjoy the resurrection spell, the priest who can cast this spell is less likely to be resurrected than ordinary people.
‘Serving my Lord after death’ is not an empty word. After any indigenous pastor dies, unless he is extremely important to the church’s situation on earth, the god he believes in will never let him go and resurrect him easily. On the contrary, the ordinary people who believe in the gods do not have much restrictions. However, compared with the magic given by the gods, all this seems very fair.
Therefore, once the priest dies, the situation in the north should not be resurrected. In order to be able to sit in that position, various struggles and compromises will inevitably occur in the church. Before the winner is finally decided, the "Goddess of Wealth and Business" church in the Seven Cities Alliance may be in a situation where it can maintain daily operations. If there is any major event, it will be troublesome.
Of course, while getting good news, this action came to an official end. Therefore, a system prompt sound rang in the ears of the players: "The Blood-stained Gray Flower Mercenary Group has completed the reward statistics to obtain experience by the players."
As usual, experience, contribution and reputation. However, compared with the previous victory prizes, the players' system rewards this time are much worse. Fortunately, in terms of physical rewards, Priest Weldon has a lot of sincerity. Although the final physical goods are still available to be delivered in Waxon City. However, this does not prevent him from providing the player with a list of available strange objects in advance.
In this list, after discussion and compromise, you all chose the bone amulet, a strange object, the hollow amulet stored in the hollow amulet.
Although it seems a bit unlucky to accommodate the bones of a small group of high-level priests who have passed away for a long time. For different people, this talisman has no effect. However, when the user meets the following prerequisites, the talisman of the remains will increase the wearer's daily dispersion/reprimanship of the undead creatures once the wearer meets the following prerequisites.
1. Skill knowledge (religion) at least 5 levels. 2. Proficient in dispelling expertise. 3. At least one sacred feat.
Of course, the Holy Bone of the Relics corresponds to a specific god. It is only valid for those who believe in the god. For example, the Holy Bone of the Notary Lord can be used by the priest of the Notary Lord. Otherwise, even if a priest who is in the same orderly camp, he will not be able to use it as long as the gods of faith are different (note this is the setting of this world, which is the opposite of the official setting. The priest of the Godless Realm cannot be enjoyed).
This amulet worth about 2ooo gold coins is the cheapest and most effective way to increase the number of dispersions. For Clematis, who has already had many abilities related to dispersion, it is a very necessary item. Although many of the conditions are not enough for her to demand now, that is her future goal.
The second item players chose the combo wrist guard, a polished Mithril wrist guard, which is simple and exquisitely crafted, and perfectly fits with the forearm.
Combo wrist guards increase the accuracy of the monk's combo. After activation, the monk gets a +2 performance bonus on the attack of the combo, each lasting 6 seconds. This ability can be used three times a day to make up for the insufficient attack of Lalu. (To be continued.)
