Blue Sword

Alfred, the new strategic advisor to the King of Thessalonica and a close confidant of Bonifacio himself.

As a former Norman pirate who also studied at the Military Academy of the Holy Solomon Empire, Alfred not only possesses the cunning sense of a Norman pirate, but is also proficient in various HRE-style tactics and strategies.

Therefore, when the mage assassin who broke in was not caught for a long time, Bonifaxiu handed over the personal guards directly to Alfred to command, and he hurriedly left the stronghold, escorted by his guards Back to Thessaloniki.

"The enemy's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious." In the command building, Alfred stood in front of the sand table, on which the topography and building distribution map of the town had been roughly mapped out.

"The arcane ability of flames, as well as the ability to control minds, desires, or dreams, make this assassin almost impossible to deal with in a one-on-one situation."

"However, she must lack the defensive means to deal with a large-scale attack. Otherwise, she wouldn't have to hide in hiding places and hunt our knights stationed everywhere - just come over and kill them."

"In other words, as long as everyone avoids acting alone, the other party will not have any chance to attack."

"All teams participating in the search, with one power armor knight and two knight followers as the minimum unit, will conduct a clockwise search centered on this building. I have set all routes, and you must strictly follow this information. Patrol route.”

"Every minute, all teams must report their location and search progress. If any unexpected situation is discovered, report it immediately."

"Understood!" The knights saluted in unison.

Soon, the patrol route of the knights in the stronghold changed, like a spread spider web, seemingly messy and disorderly, but hiding murderous intent.

"Changed a commander? Keep all team operations?" Behind the wall, Medusa looked at the knight team that was fully armed and vigilant as they passed by, and read the information from their shallow consciousness.

"Then, let me see what progress you have made." She stared at the three enemies and secretly manipulated their desires.

The knight team was moving forward, and one of the subordinates suddenly felt a little sore in his neck, so he twisted his neck bones and turned his head.

The moment he met Medusa's gaze, his mental body immediately collapsed. As if his limbs were out of control, he grabbed the fireproof asbestos cloth on the knight's armor next to him and quickly tore it off with force.

This action came so unexpectedly that the knight and another servant had not yet reacted. Next, huge flames engulfed the power armor.

Within the rapidly heating steel armor, the knight's flesh was roasted to char almost instantly. The remaining two followers fought each other, and were easily ignited by the flames thrown by Medusa.

"That's all." Medusa sneered as she looked at the two followers struggling in the flames.

"What, I was exposed?" She suddenly said to herself in confusion, "Medea, my flame control is very precise, they have not been able to send any signals to the outside world from the beginning to the end..."

Medusa quickly rushed into the building next to her and saw two teams appearing on both sides of the street at the same time, running towards the burning corpse.

"Bodies were found in area G15 and are burning." They seemed to be communicating with the command center through radio devices.

"Yes, search immediately according to the latest route."

Medusa, who was watching the outside through the window, saw two teams of knights outside. One team was stationed to monitor the entire street, while the other team began to search nearby buildings.

So she walked to the back of the store, planning to escape through the back door, while talking to Medea in her mind:

"How was it exposed?"

"You said it was because I killed these knights?"

Leaving the building through the back door, she suddenly noticed from her mental vision that dozens of mental entities were approaching, and quickly hid behind the garbage pile.

"With the help of communication channels, the enemy has deployed a defense system like a spider web. Each patrol team is equivalent to a spider above, maintaining regular contact with the commander at all times."

"Once I kill one of the spiders, the whole web is immediately disturbed, and all the nearby spiders flock in that direction."

"This will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of my concealment. If I want to escape from the encirclement unharmed, I must avoid killing any patrol team."

"Otherwise, every successful kill will actually expose and refresh my own position."

"However, my own ability must be based on the pain caused by killing."

"I understand, Medea. It seems that the only way to break the situation is to destroy the entire patrol system."

She stared at the team of knights running past outside, quietly activated her psychic abilities, and quickly read through their shallow thoughts.

"I see, all we need to do is kill their commander, right?"

Ten minutes later, Medusa quietly avoided several patrols and quietly approached the Crusaders' command center.

This is a low-rise two-storey villa with an exquisite small garden and swimming pool.

There were two heavily armed knights guarding the door, and crusaders were constantly coming in and out. Looking from a distance, Medea could see two men talking on the balcony on the second floor of the villa.

There seemed to be more figures moving in the bedroom behind the balcony.

She took a deep breath and began to mobilize the surging flame ability throughout her body.

A few seconds later, a stream of green flames shot towards the heavily guarded double-story garden villa from a few hundred meters away.

The flames first rushed in front of the main entrance, melted and burned through it in less than half a second, and then rushed into the ground floor hall with terrifying power.

As the caster's hands moved, the flames swept across like a giant python. Everything they passed, whether it was furniture, tables, chairs, or walls made of concrete, were either melted or evaporated in an instant under the terrifying high-temperature flames. gasification.

In just a few seconds, the load-bearing walls and columns on the ground floor were completely destroyed, so that the upper floor tilted and collapsed, and together with the victims inside, they all fell into the burning sea of ​​​​fire. .

"So many painful emotions!" Medusa covered her cheeks intoxicated, "There are at least twenty people here, and their screams and wailings in the flames are constantly replenishing my strength..."

The next second, her face turned pale. A huge amount of undisguised malice swept towards her from all directions.
