Pale Emblem

Chapter 141 Test with actual combat

Maddie raised his head and stared at the big bird circling back and forth in the sky. His fascial nerves adjusted and strengthened his vision, allowing him to gradually see the characteristics of the flying bird. After a while, he lowered his head, closed his swollen eyes, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty's judgment is correct, that is the bird tamed by the animal trainer. It has discovered us and is notifying its owner."

The sun still has a little time to rise, and the sky is still dark.

Archer Herman withdrew his gaze from Asuka and said calmly: "I heard that Yolsa's animal trainer is good at training bears, wolves, and pigs. I didn't expect that there would be a tamer among these Jolsa's pursuers. Bird Master... However, the flying bird found us, and we can also see the flying bird... The question is, can the flying bird's owner see it? "

The intelligence of birds is generally not as good as that of beasts, and it is more difficult to tame birds than to tame beasts. For professional animal trainers, if they want to freely control birds, they may have to occupy one or more of their animal companions, which will obviously reduce the trainer's own combat effectiveness.

Jolsa animal trainers generally do not choose birds as their animal companions.

Looking at it from another perspective, if there are professional animal trainers who control birds among the bandit gangs, then they are definitely not a ragtag group, but more like an army with a clear division of labor.

This is of course bad news.

Hermann raised another question. The light is not good now. If the animal trainers cannot see the signals expressed by the reconnaissance birds, they still have some time to choose to hide, move, or even set an ambush.

The fascial nerves secrete tears automatically, soothing the bloodshot eyeballs and helping Maddie regain normal vision. He wiped away his tears and couldn't help but whistle. His super vision allowed him to clearly see the birds hovering hundreds of meters high. This feeling was exciting and uncomfortable.

"Hey, man, that's the Dust Falcon!" Maddie emphasized.

Harvey immediately said: "That's troublesome... The dust falcon is a reconnaissance bird commonly used by the Alliance army. It flies around in the sky not to notify its own master, but to notify the dust falcons around the master."

Victor couldn't help but frown. He felt that he should be familiar with the Dust Falcon, but he couldn't remember the details.

Maddie immediately explained to him: "The alliance army tames dust falcons for reconnaissance and communication. Professional animal trainers can easily control the dust falcons in the army. They can control about 20 at a time without occupying the animal companion quota."

"The animal trainers in the army have the habit of first scattering a dozen dust falcons in all directions, and then scattering the second batch, letting them hover around their team so that they can be observed. If the first batch of dust falcons When the target is discovered, a second batch of Dust Falcons will be summoned. The people below will know the approximate location of the reconnaissance target by determining the flight direction of the second batch of Dust Falcons. "

"With this method, alliance forces can survey an area of ​​ten kilometers at a time."

At the end, McGrady said angrily as if he was relieved: "What do I mean, how could the 'Grey Eyes' bandits track me? Even the hidden hunters of the Alliance army will be thrown away by my arrangement... These people actually use Dust Falcon, Then I can’t help it.”

Herman and others were born and raised in the Deathclaw Adventure Group, so naturally they were not as familiar with the military's investigative techniques as Maddie and Harvey.

Harvey touched the stubble on his chin, smacked his lips and said, "They have Dust Falcons, and maybe there are also Oryx Cavalry... If we use our strength, we probably don't have much chance of winning."

The Dust Falcon flew too high and Victor was unable to reach it, so he had to give up his plan to shoot it down. He frowned and asked: "Chen Falcon won't recognize us people, right?"

Maddie was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I definitely don't recognize it. They just found someone moving here and started to summon other dust falcons. After the army received the message, they first sent scouts to investigate and then determined the target."

Victor nodded and asked again: "Is it the regular army of Luoye City that is following us?"

"If it's not the army, then it's the private army of a famous family... In this case, it will be more difficult to deal with. The private army of a famous family is more elite than the alliance army in all aspects." McGrady said worriedly.

When Stephanie heard this, she burst into tears. The island street where she lived was massacred by private soldiers from well-known families. Naturally, she had hatred for the private soldiers from well-known families, but more importantly, she was afraid.

"Sir, it's all my fault... I shouldn't have pleaded for Gray Eyes... I, it was I who brought disaster to everyone... again." The little girl choked with sobs.

"Don't be stupid, this has nothing to do with you. The famous family in Luoye City is looking for me." Victor shook his head and said to the others: "I have an idea. Come and take a look..." He used his sword Draw a simple map on the ground and continue:

"We started from where we started. About 20 kilometers northeast, there is a medium-sized copper mine... There must be many half-elves and barbarian slaves operating near the mine."

"The dust falcon can't tell the difference between us and other half-elves or barbarians... When we arrive near the mine, the dust falcon in the sky can easily follow the wrong target."

"We can go to the mine first and then find a way to get rid of the pursuers."

There are no big problems with Victor's design. The Alchemist, Maddie, and Harvey all think it's feasible, but some people have made additional suggestions.

The gladiator slave Kent said: "Master, the enemy is riding an antelope. If we can't get near the mine, we may be overtaken by them... We are carrying things, and three women will slow us down, not to mention there is another one in the sky. Birds follow..."

The violent Kent is very strong, second only to Amber-Eyed Victor. He is responsible for carrying a barrel filled with life distortion potion.

Victor asked Kent to ensure that the potion in the barrel was intact. He was cautious along the way and marched at a slower speed.

Of course, even if Victor and his party abandoned their heavy objects and went all out, they probably wouldn't be able to outrun the Oryx Cavalry.

How could Victor give up the life distortion potion and the dormant alchemical snake touch? It's still far from being exhausted.

"So, we have to act separately."

Victor began to assign tasks and said: "Herman, I ask you to take your brothers to stay nearby for the time being and use all means to block the pursuers, but first you must protect yourselves."

The seven alchemy demons, including four archers and three swordsmen, all showed eager smiles and expressed in unison that Lord Victor could rest assured that they would complete the task of blocking the pursuers.

Half-elf professionals are just the appearance of these people. Their essence is alchemical demons. Victor allows them to use all means to stop the enemy, which means they can use demon skins to eat the souls and blood of the enemies, enjoy a feast of killing, and gain promotion in the killing.

Victor also considered that the pursuer was very powerful. If the opponent was a private army of 200 people from a famous family, all of them would be professionals. If there were 20 dragon veins among them, the seven alchemical demons would definitely not be able to compete head-on with the enemy.

However, the Alchemy Demons are all silver-level combat units, and they have ignited the fire of the soul, implanted with the Alchemy Snake Touch, and possess weird and difficult-to-prevent spell-like abilities. They should not have any problem in protecting themselves and dealing with the pursuers.

Victor is only worried that the Alchemy Demon will become bloodthirsty, get dizzy, go crazy in battle, and choose to fight the enemy, which will cause battle losses.

After all, the enemy who can catch up with them is definitely not a soft persimmon.

The Newbie Handbook of the Demon Hunter Guild also says that monsters can be killed with strength in numbers.

In the past, the main force in slaying the vampire demons was the alliance army.

"Remember, I am asking you to stop the pursuers and delay time, not to annihilate the enemy!" Victor once again emphasized the mission of the Alchemy Demon.

After receiving their confirmation, Victor said: "Everyone else will go to the mine with me first. Without the burden, you can let go. At your own speed, even if the opponent is riding an eland, it is unlikely that he can catch up. Go... I only ask that you struggle with the enemy for a maximum of two hours, and when the time is up, find a way to get rid of them and meet us near the mine."

"In addition, when we find the temporary meeting point, we will send Maddie to show you the way."

"Harvey, give them your sword to use first."

Harvey had no choice but to hand the thorium fine gold sword into the hands of a fourth-level swordsman. Faced with a sharp blade of this level, the arrival of the Dragon Vein Shield Guards would be quite a challenge.

Victor's strategy was very simple. He divided his troops into two groups. He took away the burdens and allowed the Alchemy Demons to completely release their own combat power. They could deal with the pursuers and delay the burdens.

Currently, there is only one Dust Falcon following them. Once their team splits up, the Dust Falcon will be useless no matter who it follows.

If it continues to follow Victor, the seven alchemy demons will immediately be concealed, which is particularly suitable for launching an ambush; the Dust Falcon follows the alchemy demons, and Victor will be safe if he takes a few burdens with him on the way. When the alchemy demons also escape into the mining area, , and the light is the same as the dust, no matter how smart the dust falcon is, it becomes a stupid bird.

On the other hand, the goal of the pursuers is to capture Victor. When they fight against the Alchemy Demon, they will definitely be shocked and wonder how they provoked the Vampire, but they will realize that the Dust Falcon has the wrong target. , there is a high probability that he will give up the action, and there is no reason to continue fighting with the seven powerful vampire demons to the end.

Victor and his entourage quickly finalized the details of the operation, and finally asked, "Do you have anything else to add?"

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that there was no problem.

"Then let's start splitting up!"

Victor gave the order, and he led Harvey, Maddie, Kent, Ruth, Jessica, and Stephanie, a total of seven people, to leave the temporary camp with several valuable supplies on their backs and quickly headed towards the mining area.

Herman and the alchemy demons stayed where they were, looking up and seeing the dust falcons flying in a wide circle in the sky. The flat-haired beast tried to keep up with Victor's team, but finally returned to the top of the alchemical demon's head, circling back and forth.

"Haha, this dumb bird doesn't know who to follow is the correct answer... Let's test it again. Let's all disperse!" Herman squinted his eyes and grinned, revealing his snow-white fangs.

The alchemy demons were automatically divided into three tactical teams, each keeping their distance.

The dust falcon in the sky screamed and had no choice but to follow the three-person team with the largest number of people. The other two two-person teams sneaked into the woods on both sides and hid.

Invisible spiritual fluctuations linked the wills of the seven alchemical demons together. They used the three-person team as bait, preparing to deal a severe blow to the enemy.

Victor needed a battle to test the alchemy demon's loyalty and ability. He was also worried that the alchemy demon would be damaged, but he had no reason to give up the test.

However, his worries were unnecessary. Herman and the others are alchemical combat units shaped by their master's personality using god-like methods. They have been instilled with top-notch tactical literacy, fighting will and fighting wisdom, and are given the ability to connect with their hearts.

When the silver-level alchemy demons begin to work together, their actual combat power will increase exponentially!
