It's like entering a haunted house, that's probably what it feels like.
Unfortunately, the main source of this feeling is not the unknown territory ahead, but following my teammates.
The team, including Doriad, has a total of thirty-three units. Thirty of them are warrior ghosts who faithfully follow all orders and will take the initiative to rescue and even use their bodies as human shields in times of crisis. The remaining two men and women are
She named Kratt and Nyxphia.
Kratt is a huge man, three meters tall, covered in black hair, with a tiger-like back and a bear-like waist. "Tiger-backed and bear-like waist" is not an adjective. Among demi-humans, there are four-legged beasts with a race similar to centaurs. The difference is that the upper body is not human, and
He is an orc; his lower body is not a horse, but a beast. Krat is a beast-like four-legged beast with the characteristics of a bearman and a tiger. A level 47 (24) warrior.
Nyxphia is a guardian fairy who is usually slightly larger than a child. This is a race that has a very troublesome ability to live alone before training. Although it is basically a kind race, Nyxphia is relatively speaking.
But he is quite evil. If he gets into trouble, he will get out of control. Second- and third-tier cities may be destroyed. A level 44 (22) assassin.
With the addition of Doriad as a magic caster, all the elements required for the exploration mission are initially available, and the rest is filled by war ghosts.
However, by the time they successfully entered the city, the number of War Ghosts in Doriad's team had been reduced by half. Not a single War Ghost, who was slightly weaker as a soldier, was able to enter.
After confirming the "bang" sound of the door closing behind her, Nyxphia stroked her head and complained: "I can't believe it! Thousands of guards suddenly came out. If I had known this, I should have adopted the strategy I originally proposed. Prepare
All the armies are in vain!"
"Your Excellency Nyx, even so, we came in very smoothly." Krat's four-legged beast's lower body was like a wild bull, and it was gouged a few times before sprinting. "As long as it is not the existence of the high-ranking goblins or true dragon kings or gods.
Come out, all enemies can be dealt with by me, so let’s attack as soon as possible.”
"So I hate idiots. Isn't this the castle where the transcendent exists that we were ordered to explore?"
"Yes, yes, I understand, I understand. The soles of your feet are always oiled at critical moments, so this guy has no other good than living longer. He just knows how to scream."
"You still know that I live a long time. Mr. Kratt, do you need me to teach you how to treat your elders? The exploration of unknown areas is the elder's final decision. Give me some respect!"
"So you are told to move forward quickly? What are you complaining about here? Do you need me to report to the superiors?"
"Don't use the superior goblin to pressure me. I am the leader now. You must cooperate with me. I am not here to be your servant!"
The tall and petite figures glared at each other from close range.
"That's enough for you two. I'm the one closest to you adults, right? I won't take your turn first." Doriad couldn't help pouting.
"It's normal for top strong people to always have their own principles and personalities, but I really wish they knew how tiring coordination is." She thought, even though she was too lazy to coordinate at all.
She put the small and useless sword that Larva gave her in her hand and turned it around twice as a juggling stick, and said: "The weapon that Sir Larva asked to carry is of no use to me. Do any of you need it?"
?"
Kratt: "Is it the weapon given by the Lord? Huh, after all, they are also fairies. This size is definitely not a weapon that can be automatically resized. I can't hold it with my hand at all, right?"
Nyxphia said nothing and directly reached for the sword. She took out the sheath, grabbed the hilt and played with a few sword flowers. Then she scratched the sword in the air. She seemed to be suppressing some emotion and smiled slightly: "Then I won't
I accept it politely, do you want to return it later?"
"This is something we can only find out later."
"Hey, what?"
"Okay, okay, now that we are in and the enemy has not taken the initiative to attack, let's count the remaining manpower and supplies to plan how to move forward. Everything we say here can be heard, switch to communication magic."
After counting, among the war ghosts following now, there are only four warriors with different weapons, three guerrillas, two magic casters, five faith-based ones, and one thief; there are still two supply trucks left.
However, the control circuit of the first-level undead chariot is installed in the supply vehicle, so even if the manpower is reduced by half, it can be assigned a magic caster to control it and accompany it forward, which will not further increase the burden on the team.
After briefly inventorying the supplies, Doriad muttered, "Those two suspicious undead are still inside," as she gathered her team and began to move forward cautiously.
Nyxphia divided the war ghosts into two teams with similar numbers and professional ratios. One team was in front of her, Doriad and Krat, and the other team followed thirty steps away as if guarding the supply truck.
Behind the left and right. The street was very wide, so she asked the team to move forward on one side of the street.
The city itself is not very big.
Just based on the feeling, it is about the size of a royal city or a small border fortress in the country.
"Although it is open-air, the architectural style mostly reveals the shadow of the architectural style influenced by the Six Gods and the Eight Desire Kings era. Rather, it seems to be more luxurious to emphasize the decoration. What do you think?" asked Nyxphia.
"How about what? It's impossible to estimate the material without knowing it." Doriad replied.
"Really? I just wanted to ask if it would be okay to demolish this place. Wouldn't it make one of the money-grubbing guys above angry?"
"You're known as the 'Keeper of the Labyrinth' and you're going to tear it down?!"
[Who says I want to dismantle it? After all, my favorite methods are poison gas, suffocation, explosion in a confined space, flooding with water... As a guardian elf with special skills to deal with all the above methods calmly, I naturally have to give full play to my advantages. 】
The key information of the conversation cuts into the magical contact, and Nyxphia still believes that the surveillance does exist.
"Hmph, are all the little ones who live a long time cowards? They are all using dirty tricks." Kratt said disdainfully.
"Very good. If we are all alive after this mission, you are not allowed to sleep. Always be on guard against me being such a nasty person until I die of exhaustion." Nyxphia turned around and glared.
"Stop at the intersection ahead and be greeted by someone, a small team of about thirty or forty people."
The war ghosts got into a fighting stance.
"Very good, it's finally time for me to show up..." Kratt just raised the heavy weapon and took a few steps forward, but his energy immediately disappeared.
The war ghosts also remained motionless, because their fighting instincts made them judge that there was no need to actively attack and consume energy in order to eliminate the enemy that rushed out from the corner in front.
