The Rise of the Cemetery

Chapter 0050 Thieves

At the next rest point, Princess Siris secretly visited Mage Kasas, so the team's itinerary was slightly deflected.

Dubin City, a small commercial city in Eunseshire, Thrane Kingdom, attracted many bandits and bandits because many caravans traveling north and south needed to pass through here. Under the several times of suppression by Thrane Kingdom's army, Euance County was clean for a period of time. Over the past year, many garrisons were transferred to the northern fortress to defend against the undead's southward movement. Received a large number of refugees without land and food, and the momentum rose for a while, causing the caravans passing by to complain, so they had to hire a large number of mercenaries, which caused the mercenary market here in disguise.

For these greedy thieves, a team like Li Xun is definitely a lucrative target. The little nobles who had escaped from Morror Hede recently could feed the bandits in Ewans County who were doing business without money. These little nobles who fled were not willing to hire a few more mercenaries, and when they fled, they carried "dry goods" and "hard goods" that were easy to transfer. They thought that only a few family knights could send these bandits away, so They were looted one after another. Those who fled with their wives and young ladies were even more miserable. Unrecognizable corpses were often stepped on in the woods and bushes on both sides of this official road. If nobles who escaped their lives by chance dared to report and complain to towns or garrison points, they would often face new looting. Lost the blessing of the country, lost the land and manor on which to live, and the rootless dog can be bullied for a while.

So it was only a day and a half after entering this chaotic place, and there were already 5 groups of three or four hundred people looming around the convoy. The reason why they didn't attack could only be that these teams hadn't negotiated the proportion of spoils, and it was by no means that the five or six knights in full armor in the team could be intimidated. A sharp weapon of war like a knight can only be rampant on the battlefield, while the barren mountains and wild forests are the world of adventurers and bandits, any of which can make a knight lose his combat effectiveness. Of course, the premise of everything is that these desperadoes don’t know that there are 3 mages in the team, otherwise, no matter how big the oil is, you have to die to enjoy it. No one dares to besiege a team with mages. This is basically a problem for the mainland bandits. The written rule: Don't mess with mages and priests!

When the patience of the following bandits gradually ran out, the three mages in the team also divided their targets. Princess Siris led 2 family knights and 2 Novus knights to take charge of the 150 thieves in front of the 2 roadblocks; Casas led 3 knights to take care of 120 thieves in the wasteland on the right; Li Xun volunteered to clean up by himself 100 thieves hiding in the woods on the left; the Ranger and the Princess Maid are left to guard the carriage. Both Casas and the princess were puzzled by the fact that Li Xun was alone in the battle, not even needing a guard knight. However, Casas had seen Li Xun's methods after all, so he agreed with Li Xun's resolute attitude.

Seeing Princess Siris and Casas walking away, Li Xun laughed, turned around and walked into the grove beside the road. Li Xun released 15 ice banshees and 15 ghost killers in the soul space. With a big wave of his hand, these ghosts with pupils scattered into the forest and disappeared.

Li Xun tilted his head and said, "Today these dishes are all yours!"

Silently, without a trace, the ghost who had been hiding in the back also flashed into the woods, and soon sneaked into the place where the thieves were ambush. Now this ambush spot is very lively. In the middle of the forest, there are a few thieves who are obviously the leaders, tightly bound by black ropes, struggling desperately on the ground, and all kinds of shrill cries for help come and go. If you look closely, you will find these The black cable is not a real thing, but an inexplicable substance extending out of the shadows under them, and this is what arouses their fear even more. Thieves in ragged clothes are hacking around with sticks or knives and guns, all of them are frightened, and from time to time a transparent ghost hand emerges from the trees around them, as long as the ghost hand grabs a certain part of the body , Immediately a layer of light blue ice began to spread, and it would not stop until the whole person was frozen into an ice sculpture. If somewhere the thieves gather densely, a phantom will suddenly emerge from the ground, accompanied by a soul-stirring howl, all the thieves turn over and fall down one after another, without anyone knowing what happened. The weapons in the hands of the thieves obviously couldn't hurt these weird monsters. Seeing that the sword couldn't cut through the black rope or smash the ice sculptures, the thieves collapsed and ran around crying for their father and mother. Too many places to stay.

The Ice Banshee and the Phantom Killer kept shuttling around, trying to trap the thieves one by one. After fighting for a long time, none of the thieves really died. But with the arrival of the phantom, the bloody killing officially began.

Whether it is the thieves bound by the black rope or frozen by the blue ice, their throats will explode inexplicably, as if there is an invisible demon constantly shuttling and killing among them. The blood mist gradually rises in the forest, and all the thieves are involved. The screams in the forest lasted for a quarter of an hour before gradually subsiding. The pungent bloody smell permeated the entire grove, wet the leaves and condensed into blood droplets that slowly dripped down.

Li Xun at the edge of the forest thought that his psychological endurance needed to be tempered, so he did not participate in this banquet of ghosts, and deliberately closed the soul connection, so that all the soul energy would be absorbed by the ghosts. After killing all 107 thieves, he could push Specter to level 3, and successfully mastered the 3 skills of Specter's Blade, Desolation, and Refraction.

Specter's Blade, Specter throws a lightless dagger, the dagger deals damage to enemies passing through and leaves a shadow path, and the enemy hit by the dagger will also leave a shadow path when moving. Specter enters a state of phase shift while on Shadowpath, ignoring terrain. Shadow Path also increases Specter/slows enemy movement speed.

Desolation, Specter and his mirror image can cause additional damage that ignores defense and resistance when attacking the target.

Refraction, the black crystals that make up the body reduce the damage taken by the ghost, and refract the damage to enemy units within 30 meters around it. The amount of reflected damage depends on the enemy's distance from you.

Specter who has mastered 3 skills tends to strangle and chase from the front. He is more like a dead man than an assassin. His ability to hide and hide depends more on the black crystal armor on his body. I really hope that it can be compared with this world. Chat with the top assassins or assassins of , and see the difference.

The scene in the forest was too secretive, and Li Xun didn't want others to discover something from the traces of death, so while walking in the forest, fireballs and lightning bombed randomly, preparing to burn down the scene with a big fire. After everything was dealt with cleanly, he listened carefully to the movement in the other two directions, and it was nearing the end. Then Shi Shiran put away a large number of his men and walked back to the carriage. Of course, the ghost blended into Li Xun silently. In the shadows.

Without waiting for a long time, Princess Siris and Casas returned to the temporary camp one after another. Casas was calm and steady, but Princess Siris flushed a little and was in an unstable state. Casas and Li Xun looked at each other and shrugged helplessly. This is the case for people who experience killing for the first time. There is no comfort. They can only go through this psychological adaptation period slowly.

Princess Siris was not polite to the two of them either. After returning, she got into the carriage directly, and the team took a brief rest before continuing on the road. When passing by the scene where Princess Siris fought just now, Li Xun lifted the curtain to look around, and found more than 20 corpses in total, and the rest should have been scared away. Cough, Li Xun, who put down the car curtain, sighed. The princess looked devastated after killing more than 20 thieves, but she still smiled after killing more than 100 thieves. It is not clear whether the princess is abnormal or she is abnormal.

Along with the march of the team, three small bandit groups were destroyed successively in the hands of the mage, so this small team finally attracted the attention of the three big bandit groups. The information transmission speed of the bandit group was far faster than that of the regular army. In less than a day, all the heroes and bandits in Youans County knew that there was such a team that was not easy to mess with.

The saying not to mess with mages is correct, but there is also a premise: mages don't mess with them. Now 4 thieves groups have been destroyed and 2 have been seriously injured, which can make the leaders of the big thieves groups who have always been lawless look ashamed. There is no shortage of poor people among thieves, and there is a market for clamoring to teach these impolite mages a lesson.

The three major thieves groups also have mages who have paid a lot of money, but most of them are low-level mages with no roots. They heard that there are many mages in the team to deal with, and they all refused to provide magic power. As mages, they can get basic respect and protection when they join any country. If it is not for quickly gathering a lot of money and free magic materials, who would like to join a group of gangsters. Such a team with many mages obviously has a big person in it, or it may be connected with the mage guild. Participating in the siege of such a team by yourself will cause endless troubles!

The thieves group mage's avoidance made the leaders of the three thieves groups annoyed for a while, but they had no choice but to watch the team swagger into Dubin City.

The Dubin City Gate was originally wide and flat enough for three carriages to pass in parallel. Now that there are many bandits and the law and order has deteriorated, the city guards have blocked half of it with fences, leaving a gap that only allows one carriage to pass. Pedestrians and caravans line up. The growing dragon passed slowly after paying the entrance fee.

Casas directed the carriage and drove straight to the city gate. As soon as the city guards surrounded him, he lifted his cloak and revealed his mage badge. As a result, these city guards who shouted and drank in front of the farmers' caravan immediately became sheep. They hurriedly drove away the pedestrians who were in the way, removed the fence, and respectfully let everyone into the city.
