The leader of the undead investigation team is not a monster but a player, and he is none other than the Undead Knight Dark Cuisine.
I actually received two missions about Black Blood Castle, and both times I became a direct opponent of Dark Cuisine. This makes me wonder if we have been enemies since our previous lives.
The thinking of the undead scouts is controlled by the system mastermind, and has been formed into a fixed pattern, so it is unlikely to find the mines we have planted on the ground. However, the players are different. As long as they look at the ground, the locations of those mines that are not well disguised can be easily seen. It's easy to see.
"Lao Zhang, kill him," I ordered immediately.
"However, this is equivalent to directly telling the undead that there is an ambush here," Pitang Zhang said.
"We can't control that much anymore. No matter what, we must not let this kid know that we have planted landmines on the road," I continued.
In fact, from the moment Dark Cuisine was killed by me and lost important information, he should have thought that someone would definitely set up an ambush halfway to intercept the undead troops who were preparing to reinforce Black Blood Castle, and he personally led the team here just to find evidence. Because the undead bosses would not believe his empty words, they would have to go there personally and find sufficient evidence before they would believe them.
So he personally brought a small team of undead scouts over. The moment I saw Dark Cuisine appear, I knew that no matter whether Dark Cuisine was dead or not, the news about our ambush here had been leaked. However, Dark Cuisine, we still had to Killed.
"good,"
Pi Tangzhang agreed, and led a team of elite thieves to quickly enter the stealth state and sneak towards the dark cuisine. In order to prevent being discovered by the other party, Pi Tang Zhang deliberately kept a distance of more than ten meters from the other thieves.
This distance should be enough to make up for the gap in stealth ability between the thieves and Pitang Zhang, and ensure quick support after Pitang Zhang suddenly attacks.
The next moment, when Pi Tangzhang approached, Dark Cuisine seemed to have some realization. He stopped and glanced around.
But he couldn't see any flaws. Pi Tangzhang's sneaking had almost no flaws.
Finally, Dark Cuisine withdrew his gaze and continued to carefully observe the plants and trees on the hillsides on both sides, hoping to find some clues.
Pitang Zhang relied on his extraordinary sneaking skills to sneak around behind Dark Cuisine. The blade of the dagger was glowing with poisonous light as he quietly reached out.
The moment Pi Tangzhang suddenly broke out, Dark Cuisine suddenly woke up and immediately rolled off the back of the Bone Spirit Horse without hesitation.
However, his reaction was still half a beat too late. The other person rolled off his horse. Before his body could even hit the ground, a red light suddenly lit up behind him, and the poison-hardened dagger had already pierced the back of his heart.
Dark Dishes froze and fell to the ground like a dead dog, his body paralyzed and unable to move.
The undead scouts who accompanied him immediately let out a burst of screams and rushed towards Pi Tangzhang waving their weapons.
Pitang Zhang quickly sprinkled a handful of fluorescent powder and entered a state of strong concealment.
At the same time, the thieves he brought immediately took advantage of the opportunity that the opponent's attention was attracted by Pitang Zhang, and immediately launched a sneak attack to kill them. A series of backstab skills hit the undead scouts one after another. , each undead scout was hit by several attacks at the same time, and his health and blood dropped drastically.
After one hit, the thieves disappeared quickly before the undead scouts had time to counterattack.
The next moment, at least seven or eight thieves, including Pitang Zhang, appeared next to Dark Cuisine at almost the same time. After a series of skills, Dark Cuisine tragically died again.
I took on two missions from the undead camp in a row, but not only could I not complete the mission, but I was also killed twice by my competitors. I really don’t know what Dark Cuisine is thinking now, and whether he regrets accepting these two missions.
After Dark Cuisine died, several other undead scouts immediately turned into headless flies, scurrying around and were quickly killed by the bandit brothers led by Pi Tangzhang.
As the scout team headed by Dark Cuisine was killed, I immediately received the news.
"Ding~,"
System prompts: The ambush you set up in Crow Ridge has been informed by the undead commander "Bloodhand Ovia". Bloodhand Ovia has urgently sent twice as many troops in this direction. Please be careful.
To my surprise, after learning about our actions, the other party did not immediately change our route to another route or set off at another time, but directly sent twice as many troops.
I don’t know where Bloodhand Ovia got his confidence. He must protect the Black Blood Castle. He also plans to eat up our troops who dare to stop him halfway.
All guild members received the same news at the same time. Lin Jieran immediately crowded around me and asked in a low voice: "What should I do? The number of enemies has suddenly doubled."
I smiled and replied: "What should I do, cold salad?"
Lin Jieran was very dissatisfied with my answer and immediately reprimanded: "Be serious, the entire guild will mobilize together. If it fails and is wiped out by the undead army, it will have a huge impact on the overall strength of our guild. This is no joke. "
Regarding Lin Jieran's worry, I could only express my speechlessness, so I pointed out unceremoniously, "I thought you were very smart, but I didn't expect that you are even stupider than Ovia the Bloody Hand."
Lin Jingran was very dissatisfied with my evaluation and immediately asked: "How do you say this? Please explain it clearly to me."
"I don't know if you have carefully understood the content of the prompt message. After Ovia the Bloody Hand learned that we set up an ambush in Crow Ridge, he immediately sent twice as many troops." I simply repeated the content of the system prompt. .
"I know that, which means that the number of enemies we will face next will be twice as many as before," Lin Jingran replied matter-of-factly.
"No, you understand incorrectly," I immediately corrected: "Next we will face two consecutive waves of the same number of undead."
"Isn't this the same thing as what I said?" Lin Jingran became more and more confused.
I scolded angrily: "Same as your head, I asked you to fight Pitang Zhang and Yu Jian Xunxiang one by one, and then the two of them went to the group to beat you at the same time. Can the meaning be the same?"
"The two of them might not be able to fight me together," Lin Jingran muttered.
"Really? Do you want me to tell them what you just said?" I turned to look at Lin Jingran.
"Why don't I remember what I just said?" she began to act rogue.
Most of the players in the guild have the same worries as Lin Jieran. Lin Jieran and I had the opportunity to chat quietly here. Everyone in the guild channel was also discussing the matter intensely. More than half of the players advocated an immediate retreat, regardless of the task. It's all clouds, maintaining strength is the most important thing.
There are also quite a few players who believe that no matter how strong the enemy is, since we have taken over this task, we must ask the NPCs in Lingyun City to stand guard. Even if the entire army is annihilated, we must try our best to consume the undead reinforcements to prepare for the next capture of the black army. Blood Castle's actions increase the chance of victory.
Of course, there are still some players who advocate letting some enemies pass first, and then suddenly attack and intercept their rear troops. When the enemies in front turn around to rescue, we will withdraw immediately. This not only effectively attacks the enemy's strength, but also And retained its own strength.
Everyone expressed their opinions, but the key message hidden in the system message was not discovered.
I sighed silently in my heart. It seemed that everyone's focus was completely attracted by the sentence "double the force". Like Lin Jingran, he did not notice such a detail at all: the first wave of the undead army had already arrived before us. They had already set off when they received the news, but the second wave of support troops was mobilized urgently only after they learned that we were ambushing here. There was at least a four-hour time difference between the departure time of the two waves of undead reinforcements.
Therefore, even if the two waves of enemies do not start from the same place, it is unlikely that they will arrive at the same time unless they fulfill their agreement. And if they really decide to meet up and then march towards Black Blood Castle together, they will inevitably waste more time. , by the time they arrive here, the battle on Gund's side should have been over long ago. Can't we bring the latest news back to the Black Rider camp and ask Gund to bring people over to help.
Seeing that everyone was arguing in the guild channel with no result, I immediately told them my analysis, and a group of people suddenly understood after listening.
"Damn it, it turns out that the boss has already analyzed the matter so thoroughly, but deliberately didn't say it out loud, causing us all to bother discussing it here for so long,"
I said, "I deliberately didn't say anything because I wanted to see if anyone could come up with me, but I didn't expect you two to be so stupid."
"You are the boss. If we are as smart as you, how can we bring out your brilliance and martial prowess," the Demon in the Sword replied shamelessly.
I asked Pitang Zhang to make a trip in person, take off a piece of equipment from the Anxi Undead Scout, and take it back to report to the Black Cavalry Army, so that after the battle on the other side is over, Gund can bring people over to support us in time.
What follows is continued waiting.
What happened next quickly confirmed my guess. Less than 20 minutes after Pitang Zhang had walked, a large number of undead warriors began to appear at the entrance of the canyon.
The fact that they arrived so quickly proved that the two waves of undead reinforcements definitely did not arrive at the same time.
Maybe it's not because Ovia the Bloody Hand didn't know how to let the two armies meet before coming together, but because the previous wave of troops came so fast, Ovia's order probably didn't have time to be delivered, and they had already arrived on their own. Throw yourself into a trap.
I pulled out the Ice Dragon Halberd from my back and said loudly in the guild channel: "The enemy is coming, prepare to fight."
