Arad's Sword

Chapter 489 The Broken Balance
A week after Midi entered the Black Crystal Forest, that is, two weeks after entering the Crystal Dragon Castle, a three-legged pattern finally formed around the Dragon Temple.

Midi, as the frontrunner, occupies a large area in the north of the Dragon Temple, has a dark lighthouse, opens the middle-level exchange, and maintains the level of 30 black flame coins on hand.

Thor's side, as the most powerful team, occupies a large area on the east side, also has a dark lighthouse, and opens the middle-level exchange. However, there are relatively few black flame coins, only about 10 on hand, and the collection speed is short The time can't keep up with the consumption.

The joint team of red blood bats and two-headed war wolves is hiding in a corner on the west side, desperately carrying out the most basic collection, hoping to open the situation in the shortest possible time.

But soon, as they became familiar with the exchange system, Simon and others discovered a frustrating fact - even if their collection efficiency reached the current limit, it was impossible to catch up with the leaders Midi and Jing Thor followed.

The "too late" factor alone is enough to kill them in the early stages of the resource war.

In other words, it means losing at the starting line.

However, when the joint team was panicking, a calm voice sounded.

"There is another way to give us hope of victory." Alex said as he stood up from the team.

"Oh? What way?" Simon and Curt, the two captains cast their eyes on Alex at the same time.

"In terms of the development scale of the base and the speed of resource collection, we are indeed unsustainable. However, if we can take over the opponent's base, that is another matter." In Alex's eyes, There was an imperceptible gleam of light.

Snatch the base?

Simon's heart suddenly moved, but soon, he shook his head and sighed.

Level 67 "Fighting King" Thor is the strongest existence in this black crystal forest, let alone a one-on-one situation, even if the red-blooded bat and the two-headed wolf fight together, it may not be possible. is his opponent.

Now that Thor doesn't come to demolish the base here, Simon is already content, but if he attacks the Death Scorpion instead, is he looking for death?
Aware of Simon's opposite, Alex smiled slightly: "If Mr. Simon is afraid of that 'fighting king' Thor, then there is no need to worry, we don't need to deal with him, as long as we deal with Midi gone."

"But aren't Midi and Thor both members of the Death Scorpion family?" Curt asked slightly puzzled.

Although Midi and Thor have turned their faces, they are in a delicate balance at the moment that no one can do anything to the other. Of course, although they are confronting each other, it is impossible to publicly declare so.

In the eyes of Simon and Curt, the Death Scorpion family is the dominant family and has directly opened two bases, while Midi is the candidate sent by Thor to be in charge of the deputy base.

But Alex saw something unusual in it.

First of all, Midi's base is even bigger than Thor's base, with more complete facilities.

If Midi is under Thor's command and accepts Thor's order to be in charge of the "sub-base", then according to normal logic, it should go to a smaller base.

But now, Midi's team, which is low in level and small in number, occupies the largest base, which in itself makes people feel weird.

With the arrogance of "King of Fighting" Thor, how could he be willing to give up the main base and develop in a small base, instead giving up the largest site to the fifth-ranked human among the core disciples?

Second, there is no communication at all between personnel on both sides.

It's fine if you can use magic communication, but in this black crystal forest with a lot of magic impurities, face-to-face communication is essential.

But Midi and Thor never met each other.

In the end, as a psychic, whether it was approaching Midi's base or Thor's base, Alex could feel that the two sides were in a state of full vigilance.

To put it simply, the two sides can be said to be full of gunpowder.

For this reason, Alex naturally deduced that there might not only be conflicts between Midi and Thor, but also a public falling out.

In this case, if he only attacked Midi's base, not only would Thor not help, but he might even make trouble.

Of course, even Alex is not [-]% sure about the internal split of the Death Scorpion, because whether it is Midi or Thor, there is a strange feeling all over his body, which makes his soul Ruth had no way of getting close, let alone spying on their emotions.

However, even so, Alex is still [-]% sure that there must have been a conflict between the two.

And this probability is enough to make Simon decide to launch an attack.

If you don't go to snatch the base, if you continue to waste like this, failure is a foregone conclusion. If you launch an attack, you may be able to come back smoothly.

As long as Thor doesn't make a move, or even makes a slow move, Simon is confident enough that with his strength, he can directly kill Midi in a short time.

Isn't it just a small character at level 63?

But faintly, Simon forgot one thing - if Midi is really just a small character at level 63, why should he compete with Thor?

The group did not think too much, but marched quickly all the way, and came directly to the base where Midi was located.

They planned to find an opportunity, so they launched an attack immediately, killed Midi and the others, or at least drove them away, and tried to occupy the base.

Although it is difficult to seize the control of those alchemy puppets, as long as they can take away the honeypots that store a large amount of black crystals, it is enough.

After all, although it is the safest way to refine the black crystals into the Black Dragon Remnant Token, it will become very troublesome when the number of black crystals reaches 10 points.

Therefore, most of the black crystals should still be stored in honeypots.

As for alchemy puppets such as soldier bees, unicorns, and steel ladybugs, they are not a problem at all for fighters like them.

The individual combat power of these alchemy puppets is not strong, mainly because they have a special restraint effect on the black crystal monsters, coupled with the advantage in numbers, this can be successful.

To put it simply, the relationship between alchemy puppets and fighters is like the relationship between ordinary soldiers and adventurers on the continent of Arad.

In the face of the red tide formed by hundreds of red monsters, the army of alchemy puppets can effectively block the enemy.

However, they are helpless in the face of a small group of fighters' beheading operations going deep behind enemy lines.

After all, the penetrating ability of a team composed of fighters above level 64 is too strong.

In fact, Simon, Alex and Curt, these people traveled all the way, and did not disturb the alchemy puppets at all.

Relying on the area skills of a fighter who is good at hiding in the team, they sneaked in directly.

Soon, the whole picture of the advance base was directly exposed to Simon's eyes.

The majestic high wall, the towering dark lighthouse, the worker bees busy back and forth, and the Ganaku guarded by a large number of alchemy puppets, in the entire advance base, there is an orderly scene, just like a real military camp.

In this barracks, Midi and the others were sitting around a bonfire, obviously resting.

"Boy, this time, let's see if I won't kill you." Upon seeing Midi, Simon's mouth immediately showed a murderous sneer.

He never forgot about it, from the beginning when Midi overthrew his younger brother Seth, to the subsequent bonfire gatherings, and to the selection of fighters in Menzoberranzan City.

The round-eared human had made him fool Simon time and time again, and now, it was time for him to pay.

"Kill!" Without any extra instructions, Simon had already taken the lead, emerged from his hiding place, and rushed towards the bonfire in the camp.

The fighters of the Red Blood Bat and the Two-Headed Wolf also followed closely behind and rushed in quickly.

The number of this joint team was much larger than the mere four on Midi's side, and even larger than the Death Scorpion team on Thor's side. When they charged, the momentum was quite majestic.

Along the way, the alchemy puppets standing in front of them would be torn into pieces by various skills within a single encounter, and then turned into a shower of metal raindrops.

In just one minute, Simon came to Midi with an unstoppable momentum.

"Midi Athlex, long time no see." Simon did not rush to attack, but showed a cold smile.

After finally getting a chance to meet Midi face to face, how could he be willing to kill him so quickly?

Like a cat playing with a mouse, he first gave Midi a glimmer of hope, and then shattered this hope with his own hands.

He didn't kill this reckless human until he saw Midi's eyes full of despair.

But before that, he had to enjoy the sweet taste of victory.

Although Midi and the others are still unscathed, in Simon's view, there is a huge gap between the two sides in terms of numbers and levels. Once they really fight, there will be no suspense at all.

The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the movement of "King of Fighting" Thor.

However, even though a large group of people had rushed into the base, Midi's face did not show the panicked expression that Simon expected.

On the contrary, Midi's expression was extremely calm, as if he didn't pay attention to Simon at all.

This kind of calm and ignorance made Simon feel extremely unhappy.

Just as he was about to threaten, Midi spoke first.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Simon. I don't know why you broke into my base?" Midi glanced at the surrounding fighters lightly, and said calmly, "Or, the members of the Red Blood Bat Family, personally Don't you all know the rules and lack etiquette?"

"What did you say?" Simon's face darkened immediately.

Even if he knew that the other party would die in his hands, he still couldn't bear this blatant provocation.

Midi smiled, and said again: "My meaning is very simple, since I have taught Seth a lesson before, I don't mind, now I will teach you a lesson."
