In the shadows in the corner of the city wall, Bai Xiaowen and Qiao Rui opened their eyes one after another.
Li Shuyi, who was on guard at the side, quietly asked through the team channel: "How is it?"
"Wait a minute, I will summarize the information observed by Falcon Spirit to the captain first." Qiao Rui stretched out her hand and lightly touched Bai Xiaowen's forehead.
Just now, both Bai Xiaowen and Qiao Rui launched an investigation into Silver Star City. Qiao Rui used the Falcon Spirit's bird's-eye view to observe the military layout, fortress weapons, important buildings and other information in the Silver Star City at a macro level, while Bai Xiaowen
It is through the infiltration of shadow assassins to observe the details of the garrison of Silver Star City.
Soon, the investigation of the Shadow Assassin ended and he was summoned back by Bai Xiaowen.
"The situation is now largely clear."
Bai Xiaowen said: "Yinxing City is divided into two urban areas: the inner and outer areas. The outer area surrounds the inner area in a ring. It is mainly populated by poor people and proletarians, as well as some gang organizations. The inner area is relatively small and has three leaders we know
:Lord Aldington, Mage Moro, and Commander Murat of the Cross."
"What you need to pay attention to here is the cross-flower commander Murat... According to what the Shadow Assassin saw in the tavern in the outer city, Murat is a very powerful barbarian leader. It is said that he is a descendant of a giant, and he is also known as a 'half-giant'.
"
"As for the outer city, there are two main places that need attention."
"One is the Church of Light, and there is a priest named Lawrence... The information is incomplete, but for the time being, he is designated as a leader."
"There is also a tavern in the outer city. The signboard says 'Giant's Toe'. I took a rough look through the shadow assassin's shared vision. Although I cannot use insight or intuitively perceive the fluctuations of psychic particles, I can only
Looking at the appearance with the naked eye, one can also see that there are several suspected leader-level strong men inside, and of course they may also be elites..."
Having said this, Bai Xiaowen concluded: "There should be hidden powers in Silver Star City that I haven't discovered, but that's not important anymore. I already have a battle plan in mind, but it requires a certain amount of risk."
…
At this moment, Silver Star City, the Lord's Hall in the inner city.
"You mean, there is a problem in Glauber's Village?" Lord Aldington is a man with sinister eyes and thin cheeks. He is wearing a military uniform full of medals. He is staring at him with his vulture-like eyes at the moment.
The soldier below is responsible for reporting.
"Yes...yes, Lord. Captain Kili and his ten infantrymen are all missing. Also losing contact with them is a tax official from the Western District..."
"Who dares to go against the great Aldington?" A trace of anger flashed in Lord Aldington's eyes.
A half-bald old man in a red robe knocked on the wooden stick in his hand: "It is impossible for ordinary people in Glauber's Village to eliminate an entire group of soldiers. They do not have this ability. Could it be someone from the Imperial Army or Ursock?"
, have any ideas about Silver Star?"
The old man in red robe who spoke was the mage Moro.
"The Imperial Army and Ursoc are fighting fiercely. They don't have the energy to provoke the Silver Star Leader." Aldington said with a snort.
At this time, the soldier kneeling below raised his hand tremblingly again: "Lord, there is another piece of information... Someone discovered a dragon in the northwest."
"Dragon?" Aldington thought he heard wrongly at first.
"Yes, a dragon is flying among the clouds...but its speed is too fast. Only a few people said they saw it."
"Nonsense, the dragon has disappeared for hundreds of years," Aldington sneered, "Those mud-legged people must have seen it wrong."
The soldier did not dare to refute.
However, the mage Moro put forward the opposite opinion: "Dear Lord, what he said may be true. There is an ancient prophecy in our mage circle... At the end of the era, the dragon will revive. Ancient times
The warriors of kings will return..."
"Unreliable prophecy," Aldington snorted, "Well, if there is such a dragon, then the entire team of soldiers in Glauber's Village will be wiped out. Mr. Morrow, according to your prediction of the dragon
Understand, will this kind of monster pose a threat to Silver Star City?"
"No," Moro said very confidently, "The dragon is not invincible, otherwise there would be no legend of the dragon-slaying warrior. Moreover, our city's defense is very strong. If the dragon dares to come, the bed on the city wall will be destroyed."
The crossbow is not a decoration, this kind of heavy weapon is most suitable for dealing with dragons."
On the other side, a giant man with a height of 2.5 meters and a muscular body stared at him and said: "Murat will tear off the dragon's wings! Twist off the dragon's head!"
"Hahaha, yes, with our strong Murat here, even if there is a dragon, we have nothing to fear." Lord Aldington laughed, showing special affection for this giant Murat.
.
Moro curled up his lips. The lord was really a lunatic. He actually let a barbarian who was full of muscles and had no military qualities to be the commander of the crosshairs army. What else could that barbarian do besides being strong?
However, Moro never tried to dissuade him. The reason he chose to be the chief mage on this inhospitable Silver Star Island was just to make a living... No matter whether the lord is a lunatic or a brain-dead person, as long as he can be paid on time every month
The salary is enough as long as it does not disturb his research...
"Lord, what should we do in Glauber's Village?" A municipal official raised his hand and asked, "Those civilians may be living under the shadow of the dragon. Should we send troops to investigate the actual situation and drive away the possible dragon?
Protect the people.”
"For a bunch of mud-legged untouchables, you want me to sacrifice my precious army?" Aldington glared and said, "Don't be ridiculous. Maybe the dragon just passed by occasionally and will fly away soon. As for Glauber's Village
, just let them fend for themselves.”
…
At night.
The three members of the White Phoenix team, together with the Lich Bard, arrived at the gate of Silver Star City.
"Are you clear about the first phase of the infiltration plan?" Bai Xiaowen waved his hand, "Get ready for action."
"I understand the truth," Lich Bard said with some annoyance, "But why do you want me to risk the radical plan you proposed? If you want to die, can't you do it yourself?"
"This is Lady Gloria's order. You don't need me to repeat it, right?" Bai Xiaowen ignored Bard's complaint and stood guard at the city gate. The sleepy sentry murmured, "Come on, Mr. Bard, show your value."
The time has come.”
"..."
Bard snorted, stretched out a pair of bone claws, and made a spell-casting action: "Sleep."
The invisible spiritual power spread, and suddenly the sentries standing guard fell down or leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
The Lich himself is an expert at playing with mental power, and this group sleeping technique is indeed very useful. However, in actual combat, sleeping enemies will wake up as soon as they are hit, so the effect is not that overwhelming.
"superior."
The ten-meter-high city wall is not an obstacle to the awakened ones, even those with spiritual specialties, especially when the soldiers guarding the city are all asleep and no one is interfering. Bai Xiaowen took a few steps and stepped continuously with his toes.
The city wall jumped upwards for seven or eight meters.
Li Shuyi on the side had already jumped up to the wall, reached out to Bai Xiaowen and pulled him up. Then Qiao Rui followed the same pattern and easily climbed up the wall.
"Why should I, as a noble lich, do such a thing..."
Lich Bard muttered a few words, embedded his bone claws into the cracks in the bricks of the city wall, and climbed up one by one. Behind him, a small group of carefully selected elite ghosts also floated up to the top of the city.
Infiltration successful!
"Bard, take the elite ghost to destroy the bed crossbow. How to do it specifically, you don't need me to teach you?" Bai Xiaowen said.
Lich Bard hummed and said: "I understand, isn't it just cutting the crossbow string?"
"Well, after destroying the bed crossbow, go to the city gate and watch the winch. Once the signal is given, immediately let the army enter the city and then completely destroy the winch." Bai Xiaowen said.
"Got it." Although he was reluctant, Bud still knew his priorities clearly and would not stumbling upon Bai Xiaowen on such official matters. This was also because Bai Xiaowen had a clear division of labor, such as bed crossbows and city gate capstans.
Both places are under the responsibility of Bard, and Bard cannot shirk responsibility if something goes wrong.
In comparison, the tasks of Bai Xiaowen and the others are even heavier.
"Leave it to Bard here, let's go to the inner city... to assassinate the important leaders of Silver Star City!" Bai Xiaowen said in a low voice.
Li Shuyi said with a smile: "Kill the boss and pick up the treasure chest."
Qiao Rui admired Bai Xiaowen very much. As an awakened person, what is the biggest dream in the spirit world? Of course, working as a figure in the spirit world and reaping the benefits for oneself. Bai Xiaowen handed over such boring tasks as destroying the city defense equipment and controlling the gate.
Give it to Bard, and assassinate the leader yourself to earn a treasure chest, that's all.
It is not easy to do this. The awakened person needs to have enough influence on the forces in the spiritual world and be eloquent enough to stir up troubles and let powerful figures in the spiritual world implement his will.
Of course, if there are high-end tickets that bring a high enough status, the difficulty of stirring up trouble will plummet. Needless to say.
No city wall was built in the inner city, only an isolation zone was set up, and the patrols and guards were not strict. The White Phoenix team quickly reached outside the first target's house and climbed over the wall.
In the brightly lit hall, a two-meter-five-meter-tall strong man was holding a wine bottle and drinking heavily, exuding a strong smell of alcohol.
This strong man's chest was exposed, covered only by a simple animal skin, and his hair was disheveled and knotted, just like a savage.
On the side, a tall and thin man who looked like a butler said with a smile: "Master Murat is really brave. He is invincible whether on the battlefield or in bed."
Murat wiped his mouth and hummed: "Murat was very unhappy! The woman you chose was too fragile, and Murat broke her neck!" He shook his head heavily, looking very dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, Mr. Murat, I will definitely find you a more suitable partner." The tall and thin man quickly promised. He did not want to have his neck broken by this moody barbarian like Murat's previous butlers.
.
"Meat! Murat wants to eat meat!" The large wine bottle in Murat's hand fell with a clang.
"Yes! I'll tell the kitchen to prepare it now!" The tall and thin man quickly slipped towards the door of the hall.
However, when he came to the door of the hall, he ran into a wall of flesh. Then a devilish whisper sounded in his ears: "Don't bother. Just go and die."
Click, the butcher twisted his hands and broke the butler's neck.
Murat, who was sitting on the northernmost side of the hall, suddenly felt like his hairs were exploding and he stood up suddenly.
"Who is it? Murat smells a strange smell!"
Tom.
What answered him was a scorching bullet, and the Desert Eagle loaded with a silencer still made a muffled sound.
Murat reacted quickly. He seemed to have a beast-like instinct and pounced to the side! The shot originally aimed at his vital point hit his waist.
The power of this shot was so powerful that it tore a gap in Murat's waist muscles and blood flowed out.
With the sound of gunshots, the trio of White Phoenix team led the butcher into the hall.
"What a beast. Maybe we found the wrong first target." Bai Xiaowen shook his head, "But now, the arrow is on the string and we have to kill this big guy."
While talking, Bai Xiaowen had already used Insight to share the information with his teammates.
[Skill 1: Half-Giant Power: Passive, Murat will cause extra crushing damage to enemies whose strength and size are smaller than his own. The extra damage ratio is determined by the strength and size difference between the two parties. The greater the difference, the higher the crushing damage ratio.
.]
[Skill 2: Crush: Passive, Murat's normal attacks have a chance to add a crushing effect, causing damage to the enemy. 】
[Skill 3: Bloodthirsty Frenzy: Murat wields a giant hammer with both hands and attacks all targets within the melee range indiscriminately at an attack speed equivalent to double agility. This skill will be used when Murat's health drops below 30%.
It can only be activated. Each time it hits an enemy, Murat will recover 1%~10% of his health.】
[Skill 4: Earthquake: After accumulating power, Murat swings a giant hammer and hits the ground, causing the ground in the nearby area to shake violently. All enemies in the area will fall into a state of continuous imbalance. 】
[Skill 5: Giant Bloodline lv2: Increase health by an additional 400 points and gain 40% toughness. 】
The so-called well-developed limbs and simple mind are probably the portrayal of the half-giant Murat in front of him. This is the first time Bai Xiaowen has seen that the level 8 leader has 90 points of strength, which is simply a monster-like existence. However, he can catch 18 points of spirit.
Chicken.
Perhaps it is because of his low spirit. Murat's four combat skills include two passive skills, which do not consume spiritual energy, and 18 points of spirit are definitely enough to cast Earthquake and Bloodthirsty Frenzy.
But facing Bai Xiaowen may not be enough.
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand to call out the evil ghost, connected it with a thin thread of malice, and began to suck away Murat's poor mental strength.
