Chapter 151: Pop the champagne at halftime, right?
The call from Lloyd's was to inform Aiwass that the time for the attack had been determined.
The time is Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
It's Monday afternoon now, which means the attack will be at midnight tomorrow.
Lawyer York even provided Aiwass with the list and configuration of the attackers.
There are four demonologists in total, two of the third level and two of the second level. They each bring two demon dogs, a whip demon and a blade demon.
This lineup... can only be said to be quite classic.
The whipping demon is a conventional demon species, also known as the "overseer" by players. It is equivalent to the BUFF machine of the demons. It will continuously strengthen all the demons around it, but it is also very fragile. Generally, it is attacked by magic demons.
They protected it.
The Devil Dog is the original second child in the dungeon at the Pelican Bar. It is a man-made devil created by demonologists. It is only about the second level of strength. Its advantages are high attack frequency, strong desire to attack, and it can be life-threatening in a fight.
.Therefore, it is best to drop the Demon Dog immediately from the start, otherwise it will be very troublesome to stick it together and fight.
The only one that's a bit more difficult to deal with is the Blade Demon.
This is also a pure melee demon, with no fancy teleportation capabilities. It also has no control skills or long-range attacks. It is just very fast and has strong martial arts skills - the blade demon is the kind of swordsman who is obsessed with swordsmanship and will kill people and test swords without restraint.
, or a demon that is transformed into a demon after death by a villain who challenges a strong person and brutally kills him.
As a demon directly transformed from human souls, it is also marked with great sin.
It's just that the Blade Demon is weaker than other demons with the Sin Mark and is easier to control. Therefore, it is not classified as a high-level demon.
Over the years, with the development of the times, few blade demons have been born. The last batch of blade demons were born hundreds of years ago.
From the perspective of path ability alone, Blade Demon is probably only equivalent to a third-level melee extraordinary person. However, its superb combat skills and rich combat experience make its frontal combat threat increase by at least one level.
.
The performance in the game is that the Blade Demon is the only low-level demon among all the demons encountered in the first forty levels that can use fast and slow knives. The interval between its combos is variable, and the speed of changing moves is very fast -
—It has the kind of combat IQ that after seeing the rolling movement, it directly changes its moves to find the landing point.
And it will also consciously attack its weak points. The Blade Demon can enchant its weapons with various elemental damage, and target its hatred target by choosing the opponent's weakest resistance to attack the opponent.
Because of this, rolling is almost ineffective against it, and parrying is likely to be impossible. Moreover, its pursuit desire is very strong, and the player being chased and slashed by it is almost impossible to distance itself to receive treatment from the path of devotion. The only disadvantage is
That is, it is a deadly hatred, and once it targets someone, it will never change the target of hatred.
When fighting Blade Demons, just bring control skills, then focus your fire and kill them in seconds. The longer you delay, the more likely it is to cause trouble.
Then there are the four Demonologists, all of whom are not high level, are all squishy, and have no home field advantage. But if you leave them alone, if they take a ritual stance and output, the damage will still be quite high.
This lineup of theirs highlights the idea of "each brother needs his own abilities." It's a very classic NPC lineup, with neither disruptive nor protective demons included, and the attack goes straight to the face.
It's a yes if you change your home at the beginning.
Although there is basically no joint defense ability between each other, because each demon is the type of "you'd better focus your fire and kill it first", it is a bit troublesome for them to combine. Because if you kill any one person, the others will
Able to exert force.
Although for the strong, they are destined to be burped with one skill. But for Aiwass, who only has the first level on the surface, this is almost "impossible to crack even if he knows it"
It's a dead end.
"What if I can solve it myself?"
Aiwass asked: "You guys are in this kind of lineup, how do you want me to deal with it?"
"Don't be angry, Mr. Moriarty..."
York on the other side of the phone smiled coquettishly, his voice trembling a little.
Aiwass seemed to be able to see from his tone that he was wiping sweat with a handkerchief: "That's why I am so anxious because I can't contact you - we are also afraid that you will be killed accidentally!
"But there is no way. Originally, Vice President Boka really just wanted to send a few second-level demonologists to attack you. He gave two reasons. One was to 'reduce the scale of the attack to prevent Avalon's
The vigilance rebounded and the officials looked down upon us'; the other was to those within Lloyd's, saying, 'The association wants to consume our strength and deliberately sends our people to die, and we need to conserve our strength.'"
"Isn't this nice?"
Aiwass asked: "Is what he said okay?"
"Yes, I think it's okay...but the president stopped him.
"The president said that your identity is relatively subtle and critical, so no matter how small the attack against you is, it is a big event. Avalon's vigilance cannot be alleviated by reducing the intensity of the attacker, so Mr. Boca's reasons are not valid; and there are many
Everyone knows that you have joined Lloyd's. If you encounter the demonologist's full assassination at this time, you can instead use a smoke bomb to confuse the investigators of Avalon and combine Lloyd's with the Noble Red Society.
Separate temporarily to buy us time."
Lawyer York tried his best to repeat the words of the two senior leaders: "The final voting result is...the president's side has significantly more supporters.
"What Vice-President Boka means is that you should find some help. If it doesn't work out, don't hold back... Your first goal is to protect yourself."
Aiwass clicked his tongue, smacked his lips, and said nothing.
Mr. President, he is quite eloquent.
What he meant was to throw Aiwass out as a discarded son.
If Aiwass, as a member of Lloyd's of London on the surface, continues to be attacked by the Noble Red Society, then it can be proved that there is not a close relationship between Lloyd's and the Society.
Lloyd's are all businessmen.
Businessmen do not have any beliefs. They are more timid and like to protect themselves. But at the same time, they also like more aggressive strategies with higher profits.
Therefore, when he said this, it is impossible for others to agree with Vice President Boca's decision from an objective perspective.
As the head of the Moriarty family, any attack on Aiwass may lead to Avalon's full counterattack - and from this perspective, the president directly denies the "hero" of Vice President Boca.
plan".
Compared with "preserving strength under the pressure of association" and "directly making a counter-logic to prove that Lloyd's may have nothing to do with Noble Red", the benefits are obviously more stable, but lower.
He knows the personalities of other senior executives at Lloyd's very well. Therefore, the reasons he gave are more convincing than those of Vice Chairman Boca.
Good guy, is there so much internal fighting?
The friendly fire damage they caused to each other was even much greater than the damage caused to them by the Supervisory Bureau...
Aiwass was a serious member of Lloyd's.
Mr. President, are you not afraid that Aiwass will be forced to betray you?
Aiwass narrowed his eyes and fell into thinking.
...Unless, he has already planned to withdraw from Lloyd's. Because he did not respond to the second question of Vice President Boca, which means that he plans to end his status as a fence and completely side with the Noble Red Society.
Already.
On the other hand, the Noble Red Society's actions were so bold and forced them to attack Aiwass... they may not have the idea of letting the authorities deal with Lloyd's for them.
It is indeed an organization that transcends the path, and internal fighting is fierce.
Even before Avalon got it, they were already fighting over how to distribute it.
It is because Aiwass itself is extremely valuable that the president cannot tolerate this. His "defying logic" idea is essentially a cover. What he really wants to do is to prevent himself from being overworked.
Heshe bit back.
If Aiwass rebels, then Lloyd will be dragged down by Aiwass, and he can jump to the noble red; if Aiwass does not betray, then he is suppressing the faction of the vice president of Boca
.The so-called heretics are more abominable than heretics. To Mr. President, the Vice President of Boca who started a new faction with a clear-cut banner is a heretic in his eyes.
From this perspective, he is actually not a pure transcendent.
This generation of "Lloyds" has a strong sense of authoritarianism and consciously maintains their own power.
This may be the reason why he did not firmly join Noble Red at the beginning, but still had half a foot on Lloyd's.
It's really ridiculous. A businessman with ambition and desire for power...
But it is precisely because of the existence of such people that the covenant between Lloyd's and Noble Red has a flaw.
Do you like popping champagne at halftime?
Okay, then I'll open a few more bottles for you.
"I understand...you don't have to hold back, right?"
Aiwass responded briefly after silence.
Then he ignored lawyer York's nagging words and hung up the phone directly, acting as if he was very angry.
But in fact, Aiwass was completely lifeless.
Instead, he raised the corners of his mouth and said happily: "The opportunity has finally come."
"Is it the fake death plan I mentioned before?"
Yulia, who had been holding her breath and motionless next to her, asked.
She was a little worried: "Is it really okay?"
"Believe me, Yuri. I never do anything stupid."
Aiwass thought for a while and slightly modified his original plan: "I will invite Princess Isabel over tomorrow and tell her that you want to enroll - your grades are absolutely sufficient, but you need additional exams.
"I will ask her to come over in the afternoon, and you will pester her and say that you will follow her to the palace, so that you will not be in danger. Yuli is so cute, Her Royal Highness will definitely like it."
"But...what about the assassins at night?"
Yulia thought clearly: "Wait until night, I will clamor to come back...and then be escorted back by the palace guards?"
"Need not."
Aiwass smiled gently and said softly: "I can solve it myself. Didn't you already give me your little butterfly? It will protect me for you."
"Me and Miss Shadow Demon will do the same."
Lily added on the side: "After this, we may disappear for a while. Miss Yulia remember not to reveal any flaws."
Yulia nodded seriously: "I will try my best."
——Good luck.
Aiwass narrowed his eyes like a fox and looked out the window.
If the president wasn't so greedy, there would be some flaws in his plan.
And now, the last loophole in Aiwass' plan has been filled by the president's own greed and selfish desires.
"Aleister... I want to say hello to Vice President Boca for you."
He chanted softly, with the corners of his mouth raised, and his voice was as soft as chewing candy.
