Act 86: The Dead and the King (1)

Scene 86 The Dead and the King (1)

The rider in the moonlight is like a translucent crystal statue, glowing under the fine dust. It holds a silver spear, rides around the perimeter of the temple, and then disappears from everyone's eyes on the other side of the wall.

The process was silent. But with just such a glimpse, Brando basically determined the approximate attributes of this ghost knight - a territorial monster, and he determined his tactics in an instant.

He turned around and faced thirteen pairs of eyes of different colors - containing emotions ranging from hesitation to nervousness. The mercenaries, including Captain Huque, inevitably held their breath and waited for him quietly.

The order was given. The noble daughter covered her mouth with her hands and coughed twice. Then she took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

But there was only a pair of brown eyes, as bright as the stars in the sky, without fear or hesitation - her eyes were still in the direction of the temple, with great interest. Brando's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously paid attention to this young lady.

For a moment, be careful not to let her sneak out alone on a whim. For this egotistical guy who calls himself 'Lord Roman', it seems that this is not impossible.

It was as if to her, there was no danger in this world at all.

Sometimes Brando couldn't help but think that he really didn't know how the aunt he had never met trained little Roman to have such a character. He thought that ordinary families probably didn't have this ability. But it was obviously not something he was considering now.

So he turned back and said: "The tactics are actually very simple." He parted the bushes, looked around, then raised his sword and pointed to the hillside on one side: "I saw the Golan-Elsen black pine.

What? You go there to ambush, and for the rest, just wait for me to lure it over."

that's all?

Everyone was stunned.

"But... what are we going to do, Lord Lord?" Huque couldn't help but ask with hesitation.

Brando glanced at him and thought that this still needs to be taught. Since everyone has entered the ambush circle, of course the rest are welcome, please beat me to death! But this is exactly the relationship between players and these aborigines.

The difference is that players won't care about him. In short, call him first and then talk about it. Anyway, the worst thing is that he will die once.

So he was stunned for a moment and replied naturally: "Well... of course I have to try my best..." But he suddenly realized the problem, so he simply changed to a simple explanation: "Okay, in other words,

Just think that he has a grudge against you for taking away his wife and killing his children."

The hatred of seizing his wife and killing his children?

Hu Que was startled for a moment, and couldn't help asking with a puzzled look on his face: "But sir, let's be honest - my woman died in the war with the Cruz people long ago."

Brando held his forehead and sighed.

"Then just think that he owes your mercenary group one million Thors as a reward and has no intention of paying -"

shock!

Ever since Rubis's mercenaries became famous, they have never heard of anyone daring to default on their wages. This is simply unreasonable. There is a saying that destroying people's wealth is equivalent to killing their parents. If this revenge is not avenged, there will be no shared destiny.

?

Lubis's mercenary's eyes turned red for twelve pairs of eyes, and Huque held the battle ax squeaking loudly. He said loudly: "Martha, it turns out that he is working with the unreliable Anjou people!"

Lord, please rest assured, in the name of Lord Martha, we will definitely beat the shit out of that undead soul that deserves to be cursed, so that it will know that we Lubis people are not so easy to owe debts!"

Antitina stood aside with an embarrassed look on her face and listened to the mercenary captain's nonsense. As the daughter of Prague, how could she have the opportunity to come into contact with such vulgar words? The filthy meaning contained in the curses almost made her feel uncomfortable.

She fainted, but luckily, she finally gritted her teeth to support herself. Then she coughed, blushing and whispered:

"Brando, the opponent is the ghost knight in the legend. Can we really defeat him?" After all, the girl is not Brando's summoned creature like these mercenaries. They can believe in him wholeheartedly, but she still harbors feelings for him.

Doubtful. After all, Brando's plan is too simple. With such a simple method, wouldn't anyone be able to deal with the Ghost Rider?

They are just a small group of ordinary mercenaries, and not all of them are swordsmen, great wizards, magicians or elves.

According to the limited descriptions in the literature, the strength shown by the Ghost Rider is at least as strong as that of a silver knight, close to the gold level. And what are they going to use to fight such a quasi-gold swordsman? Just rely on

An ambush? But an ambush will not increase everyone's fixed combat effectiveness, or is it possible that their purpose of hiding there is just to scare the other party?

Okay, let’s take a step back and say that this one really makes sense, but we must also consider that undead creatures don’t have the emotion of fear at all, right?

"Of course." Brando blocked her next words with a matter-of-fact answer.

"Why?"

Antitina couldn't help but blurt out and asked.

"Don't worry, it won't attack us - to be precise, it can't hit us."

"Can't hit?" The noble daughter was dumbfounded. What's the reason? Why can't the ghost knight hit him? Is his hand disabled? Or is the knight actually a pacifist? For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

This was not a good time to joke, but she thought of Brando's glorious record, and it seemed that even the most ridiculous things would become natural to him.

But the most incredible thing is that he was proven right every time.

Thinking of this, Antitina suddenly felt that she should calm down. However, she still couldn't restrain herself and complained in a low voice: "How can I accept such an explanation? I am your staff, sir...

"

Brando shrugged, it was really hard for him to explain this thing.

Because few monsters patrol along fixed routes, this shows that this ghost knight has a strong sense of territory. But in the game, this type of monster has another name, that is - lord monster. With some monsters

One common characteristic is that they will hover within their own fixed area. Once they touch that 'territory limit', they will immediately turn around regardless of what is happening at the time.

This kind of monster is extremely rare in the game, because this mandatory setting is easy for players to take advantage of and take advantage of loopholes in the rules to kill monsters that are much higher level than them.

Therefore, most of the lord monsters are extremely ferocious, and most of them are long-range creature types - for example, the sealed black dragon in Kanolu Canyon, the Seven-pole Dragon King, Phocia Kes, the teacher of the dog god Auguste

, the evil dragon, nicknamed 'Master Craftsman' by the players, has a restricted range of only three miles, but its attack range is as far as a hundred miles away. It is one of the strongest leader monsters in North Warend.

The other type is even more perverted, simply a monster that cannot be killed outside the domain. For example, Kao, the Earth Spirit.

But Brando also knows that there is a third type of lord monster, which is a task that is limited by the plot and tasks, so that a more powerful monster can reasonably appear in a lower-level area so that players of the corresponding level can kill it.

boss. Obviously, this ghost knight is the last one. Of course, when the players who first performed this mission wrote that guide, their understanding of the 'Amber Sword' was obviously not as deep as it was later, so

A head-on approach was adopted in the strategy.

But in Brando's view, it's not that troublesome.

But he was actually a little pity, because even if he fought hard, he could still defeat the ghost knight. However, because the original setting was "plot killing", the level of equipment dropped by the monster would be reduced by 50%, which was terrible.

Not just a little bit. Basically, it completely deducts the level-up reward, and even exceeds it a bit.

Brando doesn't know how this world is set up, but based on his original experience, it's probably not far from ten.

He lowered his head and looked at Antitina unblinkingly with brown eyes - in fact, he also knew the reason why the ghost knight could not leave the temple too far. These evil spirits came from the unyielding resistance of the ancient elven emperors.

, the negative emotions were born, but Martha banned the altar before they had time to rush out of the nest - in history, many high-level priests and monks died in the accident in Eruin, so the royal family has been reluctant

Mentioning this secret that has been hidden for many years - on the other hand, the forbidden altar no longer provides magic power, and the evil spirits naturally cannot maintain it.

Only the altar seemed to still have a trace of breath left, which prevented it from immediately falling apart, but it could only linger near the shrine.

But it is simple to say, but to explain these, it involves the knowledge of the soul and the core of magic. Brando is a player who can speak freely, but this knowledge is basically one of the core knowledge of the Temple of Fire, involving

The contract between man and spirit is also the source of their power. He is not a highly accomplished master of theology. It is okay to pretend to be a half-hearted wizard under the guise of a highland knight, but once he talks about these things, Antitina is probably a puppet.

People will also doubt him.

Besides, the girl is still so sharp.

"Maybe it's because I think that ghost knight looks a bit friendly, maybe it won't attack us?" Finally, he thought for a moment and replied seriously.

"Lord Brando."

Antitina took a deep breath.

"Okay," Brando patted her shoulder: "Don't be nervous, just follow Roman's example, don't worry, when have I ever lied?"

Study Roman?

Antitina couldn't help but look back at the business lady, who was looking absently in the direction of the temple, as if expecting to see the ghost knight for the second time.

"I think it's often..." In the end, she sighed and muttered dissatisfiedly, but the girl also knew that Brando never said that he missed anything - as if he could predict the outcome of everything.

.

Brando smiled, knowing that she had been convinced. He waved his hand for others to take action, then asked Huque to borrow a heavy crossbow, and used his pedals to wind it up - speaking of attracting monsters, the heavy crossbow is the most popular thing among players.

A treasure. But Huque frowned when he saw his actions, and couldn't help but said: "Lord, how about I go and lure the undead over?"

"No, I'm an expert in this area." Brando patted the heavy crossbow confidently, making the strings crackle, as if he might shoot the noisy arrow ahead of time at any time.

Hu Que watched with fear, thinking that this young lord looked like a layman, otherwise he would not have made this rude request. After all, in Warnde, he said this, but there were lords who looked down on him.

Suspicion. In this era when the reputation of a noble was more important than life, this was a serious crime.

But he couldn't watch his lord die.

Fortunately, Antitina also saw the mercenary captain's worry from the side and couldn't help but whisper: "Sir, is it okay?"

Brando gave her a strange look: "What's the problem?"

The girl was choked to death, but at least she didn't immediately roll her eyes.

But Brando smiled: "Okay, I know what you are worried about. But what, if the 'Ghost Rider' crystal comes out, I will invite you to go to the most luxurious hotel in Ampelsel to be corrupted -"

Ghost Rider Crystal?

The two of them were stunned, what is that? What does it mean to be corrupted once?
