Chapter 89: Graze
Sewer level 3.
The mercenaries stepped on the aura of power and swung their spears to block the oncoming sand knights. The spear tips flashed with cold light and pierced the dry and tough skin of the sand knights, barely piercing the skin. With a uniform roar, the spears were lifted with all their strength. The sand knights could not bear the effort and were lifted into the air by them.
At this time, the second row of mercenaries took action.
The spears passed the gaps between the first row of mercenaries and stabbed upwards diagonally. Each sand knight was suddenly stabbed by five or six spears. With another roar, the spears accurately hit the wounds on their bodies, penetrated three inches again, and lifted them on the spears.
The sand knights hissed and roared. Four shriveled arms swung sabers frantically and chopped heavily on the spears. In an instant, there was a clanging sound. The sharp sabers swung down, but barely left a few white spots on the spears.
The first row of mercenaries took the opportunity to attack again, swinging their spears and dancing with a shadow. The dense cold light suddenly rained down on the sand knights, making a sound like stabbing on leather.
Stabbing.
Lu Gaoyin's mercenaries have their own rules. Only those who learn stabbing and a certain kind of spiritual energy can be qualified as mercenaries. For example, the power aura.
Every qualified mercenary has a high damage, and with the power aura on his body, the damage is more than 50%. Each hit carries a good damage. If it were in the past, a stab would have made the sand knight fall to the ground and lose his life. It's a pity that the sand knights today are not the same as before.
The sand knights roared angrily. The skin on their bodies broke in the dense cold light, oozing a little black mucus. Each spear pierced into their bodies, only three inches into the flesh. Although they are thin, they are not skeletons. But they can't stand the large number of these experienced mercenaries.
The stabbing time was over, and the first row of mercenaries suddenly stopped and took a step back in unison. The sand knights who were picked up in the air were already completely bruised, and their roars were much weaker.
At this time, the third row of mercenaries suddenly passed the first two rows of mercenaries, and the spears in their hands danced again. Stabbing reappeared. They moved forward fiercely. The spears sank into the bruised bodies of the sand knights, and then they were pulled out and stabbed again.
At the same time, the second row of mercenaries shouted and stopped suddenly.
The sand knights lost their support and fell from the air with a roar. Before they could react, the third row of mercenaries had already taken a big step, and the spears sank into their bodies fiercely, and then they were pulled out. Before they fell again, the spears sank into their bodies again. For a moment, the third row of mercenaries relied on their sophisticated experience to nail the sand knights in the air.
After this happened again and again, the Sand Knights stopped moving, like a torn sack on a spear. Ding, ding, ding, ding... their four arms drooped weakly. A dozen sabers slipped out of their hands and fell to the ground.
"Looking." Gretz came from behind, his face very ugly.
It had been more than ten minutes since the rescue team went down to the third floor of the sewer. They had encountered more than a hundred Sand Knights. But Gross's figure had not appeared yet. He had given up, and now he was just trying to show his respect, so as not to be caught by the professionals behind him.
They were followers of Ruhadi.
Along the way, these more than 20 professionals had never made a move. They just followed behind the team and surrounded Lan Wu and his group in the middle. He knew the thoughts of these professionals like a mirror.
Ruhadi had been deliberately planning to annex the Mercenary Union. Although mercenaries were not as good as professionals, they were a force that could not be ignored. Just like now, a single mercenary can't deal with the Sand Knights, but if they join forces, the Sand Knights can't hurt them at all.
It can be said that mercenaries are a force that can change the power structure of Lugaoin.
Grez sighed in his heart. He did not deny that Gross also had similar plans. But Gross's remarks all along called for the Mercenary Guild and the City Guard to be reintegrated into a new City Guard.
One is to be annexed and become the private armed forces of other nobles. The other is to merge into the City Guard under Jehain. He knows the pros and cons of the two. This is why he decided to cooperate with Gross.
Unfortunately, everything has become a bubble now.
Looking at his most elite mercenaries looking for traces that Gross might have left, Grez's mood gradually calmed down. Gross is dead. He must find another way out for these mercenaries under his command.
"Enemy attack!"
A shrill scream suddenly broke out in the sewer. Grez was startled and looked up hurriedly. At this time, the other mercenaries had lined up again. Under the dim firelight, there were many shadows in the darkness ahead, and it was unknown how many sand knights were hiding.
Grez witnessed this scene, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley. He was silent for a moment, turned around and walked to the front of the more than 20 professionals, suppressed his anger, and said calmly: "Now you have only two choices. One is to help my mercenaries kill these sand knights. The second is to get out now."
The professionals looked at each other, then nodded silently and reached a consensus. It was impossible to leave. They were still carrying Ruhadi's secret order. Then they had to join forces with these mercenaries to deal with the sand knights in front.
"We will not leave until we find Lord Gross." The leading druid glanced at Grez coldly, left two people to guard Lan Wu and his group, and took the rest of the people past Grez and walked forward.
"You guys go up too." Gretz glanced at Lan Wu and his group, feeling very irritated. If it weren't for these country bumpkins, how could Gross be in a desperate situation.
"Glad to help." Lan Wu chuckled and turned back to wink at Avila and the others.
"Wait." A barbarian who stayed behind wiped his bald head and stopped Lan Wu rudely: "They are the suspects of murdering Lord Gross and the messengers of the Rogue Camp. They can't die here."
"Then why didn't you take them back just now?" Gretz was furious.
The barbarian was speechless. Another older paladin immediately spoke up to defend: "We don't need to explain to you. This is Lord Ruhadi's order."
Gretz laughed angrily and was about to make a sarcastic remark. Suddenly, a scream sounded, and he didn't care about the two unreasonable guys, and hurriedly looked back.
At this time, the mercenaries and the sand knights had already collided with each other. The densely packed sand knights walked out of the darkness. They waved sharp sabers and slashed at the mercenaries in front of them.
Blood splattered everywhere.
These mercenaries were experienced and had no problem dealing with a small number of Sand Knights together. However, facing a large number of Sand Knights who were at least five times stronger, they were miserable.
The neat queue suddenly became extremely chaotic. The Sand Knights used their tough skin to fiercely embed themselves into the mercenary queue. The four arms swung the sabers and instantly caused a lot of casualties to the mercenaries.
Gretz's face suddenly became very ugly. These mercenaries were the most elite group under his command. He roared and rushed forward. Just after taking a step, he already had a long sword and a light shield in his hand. He took another step, and a blood-colored halo suddenly appeared under his feet.
"So fast." Lan Wu's pupils suddenly shrank, and his heart skipped a beat.
Gretz's face was gloomy, and he swept past those professionals and rushed straight to the front line. He rushed to a sand knight, and before it could react, the long sword suddenly brought a trail of afterimages, and fell on the sand knight like lightning.
The long sword brought a little bit of sticky black liquid flying. In a blink of an eye, it left several deep blood marks on the sand knight. Graze twisted his body. The sharp long sword cut across the throat of the sand knight.
The blood-red eyes of the sand knight were confused, and he knelt on the ground with a puff, and then fell down. Four arms fell to the ground helplessly, and he had lost his life.
Ulla!
The mercenaries saw Graze killing a sand knight in a split second, and their morale was boosted. They stepped on the blood-colored halo and stabilized the defense line in an instant. Then other mercenaries rushed up and killed the sand knights who broke into the queue cleanly.
"Grez is a double-heat paladin?" Lan Wu had a strange expression.
Double-heat paladin is a mainstream gameplay in Diablo. It is mainly white-hot, supplemented by the fanatic halo. It takes shape quickly in the early stage. When you reach level 12, you can learn the main skill of White Heat. When you reach level 30 and learn the Aura of Fanaticism, you will be fully formed.
White Heat has a very fast attack speed. When you reach level 5, you can shoot five swords in an instant, which not only increases the hit rate, but also increases the damage. The bonus effect of the Aura of Fanaticism is even more terrifying. In addition to being able to increase the hit rate and damage of nearby teammates, the improvement of yourself is even more terrifying.
Hits, damage, attack speed... these are all necessary attributes for melee professions.
Lan Wu saw that Grez took the lead and strangled the momentum of the Sand Knights. He shrugged helplessly and stopped Flora who was eager to try. There was no way, Grez was too strong. These Sand Knights were no match at all.
Under the leadership of Grez, those Sand Knights were exhausted. At this time, the more than 20 professionals also joined the battle. Lu Gaoyin's arrogance was not without reason. As soon as these more than 20 professionals joined, they immediately reversed the situation.
The queue passed by, leaving a pile of corpses behind.
The dark demonic energy filled the sewer, forming a thick black cloud that obscured Grez and others. Lan Wu felt sorry. These demonic energies really made him envious. It was a pity that Grez had never considered him as a teammate from the beginning. He could only watch these demonic energies condense into gold coins, which fell to the ground with a clang.
Gold coins, gold coins, and gold coins.
Lan Wu felt funny. He killed thirty or forty sand knights in a row, but all the gold coins came out, even without a white suit. He once again confirmed that the drop rate in this world was a bit outrageous.
Under the leadership of Grez and the more than 20 professionals, the mercenaries burst out with 120% of their combat power. They rushed all the way, leaving behind only the bodies of the sand knights. Unconsciously, the team gradually lengthened.
At this time, Lan Wu suddenly turned around and smiled, and his figure suddenly expanded.
