The 232nd chapter was sealed (3)
Chapter 232 The Sealed Place (3)
Something happened to Labis again?
Rhode frowned when he heard the report from Qilian again. However, he didn't say much. He left Qilian to take charge of the matter there. Unless there was an accident that he could not control, Rhode did not intend to interfere with the original plan. This was one aspect, and another aspect was that Rhode really couldn't find time to care about the other people's affairs behind him.
"boom!!"
The fireball whistled past and hit the ground heavily, bursting with scorching waves of air. Not far away, the lizard men were shooting here with simple crossbows. Although these lizard men looked so stupid, the simple crossbows they made were powerful and favorable in many numbers. This was a large high-top platform. It seemed that it was originally the part responsible for the rituals in the ruins, but now it has become the gathering residence of those lizard men, with more than a hundred lizard men appearing here, and now they have become the biggest stumbling block to prevent Rhode and his subordinates from moving forward. Not only that, there is also a more troublesome existence.
"cut."
Rhode poked his head out and looked at the ugly guy who looked so ugly that he was surrounded by layers of lizard men. It was the only thing in clothes among all lizard men. It was wearing a ragged robe and a distorted stone crown on its head. It looked like a low-end player doing a simple cosplay. However, the long stick in its hand was extraordinary. The translucent metal long staff were full of rotating gears and mechanisms. At the top of the staff, three triangular gems were inlaid there, echoing each other and emitting a soft magical brilliance. Even those who don’t know how to do it can tell at a glance that the power of this staff cannot be ignored. What’s more troublesome is that it is now showing its strength.
This is the first magical lizard man that Rhodes and others encountered after coming to the ruins under the Unicorn Peak.
Of course, strictly speaking, this is not magical. If Marlene is here, she will definitely disdain it. It is obvious that this lizardman may be able to activate magic props because of his unique talent and a little magic power to cast spells. However, it is too exaggerated to say that the IQ of these lizardmen can reach the point of learning magic. In fact, the magic bombing that Rod and others are now only the lizardman used his power to activate the staff and then attacked.
But even such a simple attack was so hard that no one could raise his head.
There are too many lizard men, so even if their crossbows are simple, it is enough to suppress Rhodes, a team of less than 30 people, cannot raise his head. Now the mercenaries are hiding in the gaps and corners of the surrounding walls, avoiding the attacks of these lizard men, and at the same time raise the crossbows from time to time to fight back. However, because the opponent is on the platform, the distance and height are not good for them, so the effect is not obvious.
In fact, Rhodes is not unsuccessful. He can choose to rush forward and rely on his own command to ensure that the team achieves the greatest results with the minimum loss. But now he has not made this decision.
Reality and game are different, which puts great restrictions on Rhodes.
In the game, he can order other players to continue to do so without regard to the consequences. As long as he wins in the end, he will be resurrected by those players. But there is no such useful thing in reality. These NPCs will die and cannot be resurrected again. This directly leads to Rhodes taking into account these off-field factors when conducting commands. This is also why Rhodes basically charges in every battle——As long as he shares most of the pressure, the threat faced by his subordinates will be much smaller, and the chance of their death will be reduced.
This is also one of the reasons why Rhodes was able to gain the trust and love of many mercenaries in such a short time. No one is unwilling to follow a brave man who can always stand in front, fight for his subordinates, and advance and retreat together. (") Of course, they would not think that the real reason why Rhodes did this is.
"Sir, let's rush!"
Kavos slipped to Rhodes from the other side with his thief's dexterity and spoke.
"I have agreed that brothers are willing to fight for you, there are no cowards among us!"
"Send death to a group of idiot lizard men?"
Hearing Kavos' answer, Rhode had no intention of being satisfied. He just raised his eyebrows and blocked Kavos' words back.
"What a joke, your lives are not that valuable. Keep sending orders and letting them wait! We are not unable to afford it!"
According to Qilian's report, the Ofinians were still leisurely and leisurely digging behind them, but Rhodes of course took the lead in getting all the treasure chests and equipment in his memory. Now, let's see what those guys can get? This is not a question Rhodes needs to care about now.
"But sir..."
Rhodes's answer touched Cabos a little. In fact, he knew very well that mercenaries were humans, and even if they were to die, they would rather have a hero-pointed way of death. Of course, they were not their wish to die in the hands of these idiot lizards, but the situation is so stalemate now. If Rhodes doesn't come up with anything, no one knows what to do next. Keep waiting? The holy soul is above, God knows how many arrows and magic these damn lizard men still have!
If Marlene and Lijie are here, then there is no need to fight so miserable now. Relying on their magic and spiritual skills, the mercenaries can easily handle it. However, Rhode does not regret his choice at all. Since he is a mercenary, he must learn to win in various states instead of complaining. Even in the game, he still demands his companions like this. Even if T and Milk die early, as long as there is a last bit of expectation, Rhode will never allow them to give up. This is not to fight for a breath, but to allow them to maintain such a mentality - otherwise, sometimes, sometimes even if the battles that will be victorious will lose a lot.
I have seen similar things. At that time, the second group of Xingguang first-line team opened up land, but because they were not familiar with the environment, five spirit masters died. At that time, if the members could work hard to output, there would still be a boss. However, because of the death of these three spirit masters, the players immediately began to loosen. They were afraid that they would not be able to add blood, so they chose to retreat and retreat. As a result, the boss, who was originally suppressed by them, was released, and eventually caused a great round of damage to them. This directly led to the remaining two spirit masters not being able to take care of them for treatment. It was natural that there was no way to go after the group to destroy them...
Looking at Cabos' expression, Rod also understood what his subordinates were thinking. They needed to endure at this time, but if they did not come up with a organized and clear plan, they would probably wait until they could soon reduce the morale of these mercenaries. By that time, even if they wanted to attack, they would not be able to fight. So it would be okay to let them continue to wait, but it was not the best choice.
"Tell others that I will launch a counterattack in ten minutes, and everyone will see my orders. Unless I make a clear hint, you are not allowed to attack, do you understand?"
"Okay, sir!"
Sure enough, after receiving Rod's clear and clear order, the expression on Kavos's face immediately became much more firm. He nodded quickly and then turned around and left. Rod turned his head again and carefully looked at the lizard men on the platform high ground, and the guy who stood in the middle and twisted his body, looking like he was dancing the yangko dance master. At the same time, he recalled the strategy of playing the ruins in his mind again, and then calmed down.
He is still waiting.
Wait for the best time for yourself.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes.
Five minutes...
The arrow rain began to evacuate. Although the lizard men were strong, they were not built-in perpetual motion machines after all. The long-term attack also made their movements much slower. Many lizard men no longer shoot wildly like before. They began to choose to rest and restore their physical strength.
And for Rhodes, this is his best opportunity!
That's now!
After another fireball deviated from its original track and hit the stone floor heavily, Rhode suddenly flashed and jumped out of the hidden place. Then he stretched out his right hand. Soon, a green card appeared from the tip of Rhode's fingers and then suddenly shattered!
“—————!!”
Accompanied by the crisp chirping, the soul bird floated in the sky, and at the same time, the strong wind mixed with lightning also roared.
“!!”
Faced with this sudden attack, the lizards had no time to react. The strong wind roared in the pavement, and for a while, many lizards were tilted. Some lizards who were not affected in the distance quickly picked up bows and arrows to attack the soul bird, but their arrows penetrated the body of the soul bird without exception and then disappeared into the distance.
But at this moment, the shining thunder also appeared.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Lightning flashes appeared out of nowhere, hitting the lizard crowd. Although these lizard men were healthy and the lightning of the soul birds did not cause much damage to them, the deafening roar, vibration and violent dust still made the lizard men panic immediately.
Their original intensive shooting also paused at this time.
At the same time, Rhodes, who had already been ready, brought a shadow and rushed in quickly!
Chapter completed!
