Chapter 73: night attack
The defense of the tower of the great sage can be said to be lax --- in the eyes of outsiders.
The precedent of the noble coalition attacking the tower has also shown some opportunities for those who are interested. Strategic-level magic that can distinguish between friend and foe sounds powerful, and it is really powerful, but according to the discussion on the forum, there is an obvious prelude, which is the activation of the Eye of Arcane.
And in the Tower of the Great Sage, for some reason—others don’t know the inside story of the lack of supplementary materials, but they can probably guess—the Eye of Arcane can’t be opened 24/7. Big eyes are the hint that the attack is about to start. There is such an obvious sign that the attacking side chooses a silent surprise attack, which is the best tactic.
This is also the practice of the Marquis of Mesaros.
In order to maintain concealment, he didn't even allow his men to attack the small town outside the tower first. I was afraid that the residents inside would report the news at the first time, disturbing the tower owner, and making his plan of launching a surprise attack come to nothing. Even though the residents of the small town had no means to contact the tower owner, even if they shouted loudly, Lin could at most just cast a glance and continue to ignore them.
But what they didn't expect was that as early as a large number of dark creatures appeared within X ten days (10 kilometers) of the Great Sage's Tower, the two girls rushed down the second floor and rushed into it. In the open-air hot spring pool with the sign 'in use'.
"Teacher, teacher, there are many, many people breaking in, not knowing what to do."
Lin, who was naked, looked helplessly at Harumi, whose eyes were glowing and excited, and Kaya, who was calm enough to make one's scalp tingle with dead fish eyes. Sitting back in the bathtub silently, he wiped the sweat from his forehead. Lin lowered his voice and said, "Maybe they are just passing by."
"Oh, I'm just passing by. But looking at the marks on the monitoring map, many of them are creatures with red letters specially marked by the teacher."
Each species emits a slightly different wavelength of bio-aura. If it is a creature belonging to the magical side, the ratio of the eight kinds of mana powers in the body will also have its own emphasis, thus forming a distinguishability similar to fingerprints. Lin also made a rough distinction between the observation targets according to race. It cannot be called accurate or inaccurate, because there are not enough samples observed now.
And the group of dangerous creatures with special markings is the vampire who tried to assassinate the owner of the magic tower before and earned the legendary title of "Killing God". Being at the upper and lower ends of the food chain, Lin Ke never thought of peacefully coexisting with vampires. As for the relationship with the vampire princess, Lin thinks he is not as handsome as Ning Caichen.
With a wave of his hand, he pulled out a water mirror by the pool, and Lin used the authority of the tower master to call out the monitoring map in Harumi's mouth. After a few instructions, the suspected enemies who invaded the tower's territory were counted once, and there were a total of 971 people. Among them, 233 people should belong to the vampire group, and this is the first time I have seen the rest of the unknown group. It can only be roughly observed that they are divided into three categories.
Do you want to open the Eye of the Arcane, to confirm? Lin thought about it for a while, and then told the two apprentices: "Go back to the core room to prepare, and I will be there later. If there is an accident, attack directly, don't hesitate. Until then, don't make any movement outside. If the other party is really just passing by, treat it as if you didn’t see it.”
"Yes, teacher." Although they answered this way in their mouths, the two girls squatted by the pool with wicked smiles on their faces, not intending to leave. Lin Ke unceremoniously stretched out his hand to push the surface of the water, and at the same time shouted: "Get out!" After splashing the two dead girls wet, they left unwillingly.
Damn, these two girls are becoming more and more lawless. After the two dogs talked about it once, they didn't dare to step into this holy place; why these two girls don't listen to what they say, they are worse than dogs.
As for the two dogs, they were useless in the previous conflicts. In order to save trouble and avoid being distracted from worrying about them, I sent them away a long time ago. What about this time? Calling up the surveillance screen outside the tower, Lin saw two dogs sleeping on their stomachs under the shed, with a tongue hanging from their mouths. Looking at that fat body, it should be stewed.
In the eyes of the attacking side, the Tower of the Great Sage remained silent. The Marquis of Mesarosh looked at the dark coalition army in front of him. Apart from being loyal to his clan, there were also the transformed werewolves of the servant army, and the dark elves and gray dwarves as allies. There are nearly a thousand people, but the individual strength is so strong that it is still effortless to deal with the human army with one against ten.
And this coalition army is not a mob. Several conquests in the underground world, as well as plundering on the ground, under their own command, they are quite familiar with the tactics of cooperation. If it wasn't for the recent drop in reputation, in order to keep it secret, he would only choose loyal enough people to fight, otherwise he could organize a larger army to crush this humble little tower.
Now the team leaders of all ethnic groups hold a magic scroll that shakes the earth, and they are going to surround it in all directions. According to the plan, there is no need to test or feint, just attack with all your strength. The four earth-shaking magics were activated at the same time, even if the tower didn't turn into a mound, half of it would have to collapse.
As for the magician inside, he had to be taken back to serve as a blood slave, tortured and sucked blood every day. Let those **** who despise themselves understand that the majesty of an ancient is not to be lightly violated.
The Marquis of Mesaros started the water mirror technique on the forum, and in a private discussion area, he kept pressing the 'rearrange' icon to refresh the page. One after another, other people left messages, indicating that the team has been brought to the location.
The Marquis thought to himself, maybe the tower owner never thought that the magic he had researched would become the best tool in this raid. As long as he can capture that damned guy alive, he must tell him about it and see what kind of remorse that person will show.
In fact, if he ever had the chance to say that to someone, someone would answer him: That's why no matter how much resentment there is, there's no such thing as Instant Messenger. Although there is a reason for the huge project, it is more because that thing will subvert the world again, especially in the field of war. For a traveler, it is an uncontrollable factor and it is best to avoid it.
While the Marquis of Messaros was waiting for the coalition forces to move to their location, and using the woods to hide their whereabouts, Lin put on his robe and walked slowly back to the core room, while brushing his still wet hair. He thought to himself, should he learn from the age of the earth again, shave this hair to a size, or even go straight to Ricoh. It would be much easier to organize that way.
The two girls sat on the special computer chair at the same time, half of each of them, spinning around boredly. After Lin entered the door, he asked casually, "Have those people left?"
"No, we are about to be surrounded." The girl who stopped and twirled happened to be Kaya facing the surveillance map, so she pointed. And Harumi, who was behind her, answered in a flat tone, and did not regard the enemy from outside as a threat at all.
Throwing the hair towel onto the heads of the two girls, just enough to cover them, Lin looked at the distribution of biological auras on the map. The enemy is divided into four parts, and it seems that they want to surround the Tower of the Great Sage in four directions: east, west, north, south. And the one with the farthest distance is still marching around in the woods.
Because he was already at the edge of the forest, Lin turned on the surveillance screen outside the tower to see if he could identify the enemy.
The full moon is bright in the sky. However, under the shade of the trees, there are only black shadows running through the forest on the screen, and it is difficult to distinguish the identity and race of the shadows. The branches swayed lightly, as if a rustling sound could be heard. They are flexible and fast, and they should not be new recruits who have never been on the battlefield. I heard that the average individual strength of dark creatures is higher than that of humans, which seems to be true.
As the first direction of arrival, the group of light spots that did not move any longer was the vampire department with the scarlet letter warning. They occupy the east side, and it seems that they want to take the core room on the third floor from the gap outside the tower.
I thought they would move quickly and attack in silence. Unexpectedly, after the four parts moved to the fixed point, they kept calm and waited. But nothing unusual can be seen on the monitoring screen, just like the nights of countless days in the past, the trees swayed with the wind, and the branches and leaves swayed gently.
Lin touched his stubbled chin, thinking about the other party's intentions. Is it because I know that I will go to the observatory to observe astronomy at night, so I plan to attack in one fell swoop when I am exposed and I am not in front of the core room console. In other words, they are sure to make a time difference, and before they run back to the console to activate the magic circle, they will enter the tower; or even directly capture the exposed me?
After thinking for a while~www.readwn.com~ Lin picked up the helmet that controls the three-dimensional imaging. After putting it on, the mask type goggles immediately ran out of a long list of menus. There are many pre-recorded action modes on it, which were originally used to deceive the enemy with clones, and they just happened to be used at this time.
While controlling the avatar, the main body can also perform different actions, but that is after all a dual purpose. Lin is also just a magician who changed his job from a fat house, not an expert like Zhou Botong, Guo Jing, or Xiaolongnv. The result of double-tasking is that whether it is the main body or the avatar, there will be some incongruous situations, which will inevitably make people feel uncomfortable. See the flaw.
So for some routine actions, the avatar can reproduce it like a video playback. And walk out of the portal on the third floor, and come to the astronomical telescope to look at the stars. Such a set of actions is the clone of the video.
Sure enough, when the tower master Gabrash Tripwood was concentrating on observing the celestial phenomena, the enemies from all directions launched an attack. There is no whistling, no shouting to kill, just a model of night attack action in which a horse picks a bell and a man picks a gun. Sitting in front of the control console, Lin Duan couldn't help admiring the beautiful attack from all directions.
Only then did Lin see the appearance of the other three forces on the screen. There are short-legged gray dwarves, furry werewolves with a wolf's head, and black-skinned, pointy-eared races.
Looking at the leaders in four directions, the magic aura was rippling in their hands. On the monitoring map, it can also be seen that the color of the light spots at the tip of the four directions is also continuously deepening, which means that huge mana power is being condensed, which immediately makes Lin feel a sense of crisis.
In any case, the enemy cannot easily finish casting spells, which is the most important criterion in the battle between magicians. And this principle also applies to enemies who are about to use magic scrolls.
