Broad World

After entering the sewer, the elite coalition army of 1,500 people went on a rampage, people blocking and killing people, and monsters blocking and killing monsters. Trolls, kobolds, goblins, oozes, rotting dung, and any evil creature that dared to appear within the sight of the paladin was chopped to pieces. These poor monsters originally thought that fresh and delicious human flesh was delivered to their door, but they did not expect that there was indeed human flesh, but at the same time they were holding deadly weapons in their hands.

Due to the wayfinding work done in advance, less than an hour later, the large army arrived at the entrance of the mind flayer's lair. Without saying a word, Henry unblocked the secret door directly, and the rotting corpses inside were once again revealed.

Seeing the corpses of the same kind whose brains had been eaten, no matter whether it was the priest of the good god, the paladin, the masked mage, or the elite soldiers of Amn, they were all angry. A sad atmosphere of rabbit death and fox quickly spread in everyone's heart. If it wasn't for Grand Master Witheran asking everyone to keep quiet, those passionate guys would have shouted out long ago.

"These damned mind flayers have killed and eaten so many innocent creatures without making a sound. What an evil act, Lord of the Dawn! Please grant me strength , kill the evil in front of you..." Wilder lowered his voice and prayed. As a paladin serving Lathander, he joined without hesitation as soon as he heard that there was a strike against evil.

Henry pointed to the stairs at the end of the passage and introduced in a low voice: "Up from here is a relatively spacious hall, which can accommodate sixty to one hundred people. There are more than a dozen mind flayers commanding a large number of slaves. If you don't want to startle the snake , it is best to send elites to make a surprise attack. Otherwise, prepare for a frontal attack."

After listening to the introduction. Grand Master Witheran nodded slightly. "Understood. I will arrange it now. To be on the safe side, I hope you and your adventure team will also join in."

"No problem, my people are ready and ready to fight at any time." Henry agreed without hesitation. Anyway, he came here this time just to gain experience, and to use up Amn's strength by the way. Of course, the action should not be too obvious, otherwise it will be troublesome if people see it.

The assault squad was quickly formed. There were thirty people in total, most of them were professionals above level eight, including paladins, warriors, priests, several masked mages who led the team, Wilder was also included, and Henry and his party were six people. They were not familiar with each other, they just nodded to each other, then silently drank a bottle of invisibility potion, and walked straight towards the stairs.

The stairs leading to the upper floor are as eerie as ever. In order to avoid alarming the enemy, everyone moves lightly. Don't even dare to breathe too hard. As the exit got closer and closer, everyone unconsciously became nervous. After a few seconds, they finally saw a shocking scene, which was the feeding process of the mind flayer.

A poor dwarf was hugged by several slippery tentacles, and two of them burrowed into the brain along the ears, sucking the delicious brains greedily. In just over ten seconds, this terrifying monster sucked everything out of the victim's skull, and even licked the remaining red and white mucus on the tentacles.

This naked evil behavior stimulated the commando team who were still in the invisible state, but since they couldn't see each other, they could only endure it temporarily, waiting for the signal to do something.

At this time, Henry had quietly arrived behind a mind flayer. His eyes narrowed slightly, he paused for a second, and then he started to raise the knife. Everyone saw a flash of cold light, and the head covered with tentacles rolled to the ground.

"Kill!" The team members hiding in the dark launched attacks one after another when they saw the signal to attack, and killed more than ten octopus heads in an instant. However, due to the previous invisibility, no one could see anyone, resulting in several people attacking a target at the same time.

Seeing this situation, the remaining mind flayers threw out the "Mind Blast" without hesitation, and the powerful mind energy instantly made nearly half of the team members stunned and unable to move. Henry didn't dare to neglect, and immediately stopped and quickly chanted a spell, successfully releasing a "dispelling magic" before the team members were poisoned. With more than double the opponent's spellcasting level, he easily expelled the deterrent effect brought by "Mind Blast".

"Be careful! There's a guy running inside!" Aimon, who had a hand injury, noticed the unexpected situation and immediately yelled at everyone. But it was obviously too late, the mind flayers moved much faster on land than most humans, and within a short while, they had already run inside.

"Damn! I knew it wouldn't go so smoothly." Hina cursed fiercely, and then swung her two-handed giant sword and chopped off the head of another octopus head. Due to the gemstone necklace she wears, she is not affected by psionic powers.

But others are not so lucky. With only four mind flayers left, they did considerable damage to the raiding party. One of the Amn elite soldiers has completely turned into a walking dead. From those dull eyes, it can be seen that his consciousness is no longer in his body. Another Lathander priest kept babbling nonsense. It seemed that his brain had been injured, and he might never be able to reply.

In addition, there were four other guys who suffered injuries to varying degrees. One guy was the most unlucky, and was directly pulled into the body by the mind flayer and assimilated, leaving no scum left. Now everyone has a deep understanding of this terrifying creature, and many guys have a look of fear in their eyes.

Soon, the head of the regiment followed with follow-up troops. As soon as he appeared, he hurriedly asked: "How is it? Did it succeed?"

Henry smiled wryly and shook his head. "Sorry, one ran away. You'd better get ready quickly, I don't think it will be long before the enemy's large force appears."

"How is it possible! These thirty people are all elite fighters, and they can't even deal with a dozen mind flayers?" Witheran's face suddenly became quite ugly.

"Look, this is what you call a good player. Thirty people attacked less than twenty mind flayers, killed ten of them in the first time, and caused seven casualties with only five or six remaining, and I I think it is unlikely that they will recover." After speaking, Henry pointed to the wounded who were obviously not mentally normal.

He now finally knows the horror of psychic powers. Unlike magic, there is no obvious arcane aura, brilliant color, deafening sound, invisible or audible, only felt when it works. Most people have absolutely no resistance to this invisible, even without any warning, attack.

Witherland just glanced at the wounded who were dazed, talking nonsense, and a wounded man who thought he was a rabbit clamoring for carrots, and instantly felt his scalp tingle. He took a deep breath and asked, "You mean they'll be like this forever?"

"It's hard to say. It's hard to recover from brain damage. Maybe you can try "Limited Wishes" or "Wish-Making Techniques." Henry shrugged helplessly and replied. But he felt that neither the temple nor the council would be willing to spend such a high price on such an attempt.

"Facing such a terrifying enemy, do we really have a chance of winning?" Witheran asked a little dejectedly. He found that among the wounded were several professionals around the tenth level. In this team, they could already be regarded as high-end combat power. Even they would lose so much against mind flayers, let alone the rest.

Henry glanced at the octopus heads that were covered in mucus, and instantly took it to heart. He smiled and replied: "Of course there is a solution, but it requires the cooperation of many spellcasters. Please gather all the priests and mages, I need to have a good talk with them."

"No problem, I'll go and gather the priests and mages." As he spoke, the head of the group immediately turned around and gave a few instructions to a paladin. Soon, a large number of priests and mages were drawn out. Judging from the number, There were probably close to three hundred people. Among them, priests accounted for the vast majority, with more than two hundred, while there were only less than eighty mages.

Their faces were full of doubts, and they didn't know the meaning of doing so. After all, according to tradition, spellcasters are mixed in the team so that they can cover more when casting group buff spells. Only in this way can the combat effectiveness be maximized.

"Everyone, I know you must be very strange, but this is related to the next tactics, so please cooperate. Now, please record the "manipulation of dead bodies", "creation of undead creatures", and "summoning undead knights" stand to the left In addition, those who recorded the "greasy spell", "dead cloud spell", "stinky cloud spell" and "spider web spell" stand to the right." Henry shouted loudly at the crowd with the "ghost sound spell".

He knew that there was not much time left, and in about ten minutes, the mind flayer hiding inside would control the heavily armed slaves to rush out. At that time, a fierce battle will be inevitable. If you don't arrange tactics, these people may not be able to fight based on the current situation.

The priests and mages were in a mess instantly because of this order. After a while, everyone was divided into three distinct groups. Among them, the number of people standing on the left is the least, about forty or so, and most of them are priests of the storm god Talos. Because of their beliefs, most good-aligned priests will not record divine spells that summon undead at all. As for those standing on the right side, there were not many, there were only about forty people, and those who cleared the water were all mages.

Seeing this situation, Henry couldn’t help sighing. The guys who stay in the middle are typically not prepared in advance, otherwise the next battle will be much easier. You must know that the thing that mind flayers hate and fear the most is undead creatures, because their spiritual charm is of no use to these negative energy creatures, and they can only rely on slaves to consume them recklessly.

It can be said that the combination of summoning undead + dead cloud + stinking cloud + greasy + spider web is the best way to deal with octopus heads. At that time, it can be used to attack with long-range weapons, such as quenched (poisoned) arrows, javelins, throwing knives, etc., which can definitely play the role of one-hit kill. But now it needs to be changed a little bit, otherwise such a few undead creatures might not even consume much slaves. (to be continued..)
