The Death List Novel - Chapter 218
Chapter 218 Escape
Fink punched the purple tower shield, and the steel gloves collided with the shield, making an ear-piercing sound of a gong. As the Guild Leader, Fink was a dual-strength player and the only Second Grade player in his guild.
Even though the tall Esmira man on the other side trembled under his attack and had to retreat every time to counteract some of his strength, he was still like a rock that stubbornly resisted the attack.
Fink had only punched a few times before realizing that this Esmira had extremely high shield defensive skills. It was very likely that he had trained in shield skills before entering the Shattered Star Sky and had formed an instinct for it.
No matter what angle he punched from, his opponent would move the shield appropriately, using the center of the shield to block the front of the iron fist, scattering the punch power across the entire shield surface. Moreover, along with the attack, the opponent would also tremble his shield at a high frequency. At the same time as he was relieved of his strength, he could actually feel the backlash of his fist power.
Fink’s body started to heat up. He gradually became excited. It had been a long time since he had felt his blood boil on an opponent of this level. His opponent’s unwavering determination revealed the true colors of an excellent MT.
As a team MT, Fink admired the Esmira guy in front of him. If it weren’t for the enmity between the two of them, he might have already opened his mouth to recruit him.
Fink was born in a medieval world and was originally a human knight. After entering the shattered starry sky, he became a commandment paladin. His apostle skills were both defensive and offensive.
Actually, the apostles in the Shattered Universe had a rich set of skills. Not just an MT could only learn defensive skills. As long as they had magic power, warriors could also learn magic. However, skills that weren’t part of this profession couldn’t be enhanced by this profession.
The more skills you learn, the more options you have for advancement, but the slower your career path is. After all, even if the Laws Body merged with the Skill Laws, it still needed to merge with it to form its own body instincts before it could be used in actual combat.
Fink’s weapon was a top-grade Violet Gold Sword. However, he had stored it in his storage space and did not take it out. Facing this type of MT with a tower shield, the effect of using a large sword was similar to using a fist.
Moreover, Fink seemed to be rude on the outside, but his heart was as thin as silk. The previous battle had caused him to be extremely fearful of this guild, and his heart had always been filled with a trace of unease. Before the surprise attack, he instructed the team members not to expose their trump cards and trump cards too hastily.
Fink suppressed Sass, and the corner of his eyes was observing the entire battlefield. Since Qing Ming hadn’t left the team yet, there were only four people in their team. Although the numbers varied from four to five, they were the attackers and the other party was passive. Even if the old members of the camp saw them, they wouldn’t interfere.
In the eyes of the storyline experts, they were still newbies. Killing each other wasn’t considered breaking the hidden rules. After all, the shelter camp had always followed the law of the jungle where the weak preyed on the strong. Since they had left the camp for hunting, they had to take responsibility for their own safety. Otherwise, they would stay in the camp and take care of the beast barn and the plantations.
Fink turned his gaze to Kyle, the second strongest member of the team. Kyle had two opponents. One was a bald man with a clear ape bloodline, and the other was the deputy T of the Undead who had lost an arm in the previous battle.
Kyle and Fink entered the fragmentary starry sky together. Their strengths were only inferior to Fink’s, reaching the peak of First Order. They were only half a step away from Second Order. Before Kyle became an apostle, he was a genuine martial artist and had changed his profession to a martial artist.
He didn’t use any weapons. In Kyle’s own words, his fists were the best weapons. What else did he need? Kyle’s personality was somewhat aloof and paranoid. Not only did he not use weapons, he did not even change his human bloodline. He only cultivated a bronze battle qi.
After his long-term partner, Kyle trusted Fink’s judgment. Since Fink said he was going to fight steadily, he didn’t use all of his strength to activate his Dou Qi. Instead, he maintained a normal fighting rhythm and fell into a stalemate with Hansen and Frank.
In fact, at the beginning of the battle, this martial artist almost defeated the combination of the two.
The reason for that was because Frank, the hunchback servant, had never learned any combat techniques, and had lost an arm, so he could not lift the double-edged axe. Sandwiched between Hansen and Kyle, he was at a loss as to what to do. After a few reckless attacks, Kyle almost instantly killed him. Fortunately, his disciples had saved him a few times.
However, after a few lessons, Frank finally found his place in the group. That was the sandbag that had been beaten. He no longer recklessly wanted to help Hansen. He just stood there, protected his vital points, and used himself as a human shield for his disciples.
Fink looked at it for a while and stopped paying attention. Although the bald man was proficient in all kinds of military killing techniques, in front of Kyle, an authentic martial artist, he was practically no threat. Even if there was a human shield between them, it was only a matter of time before Kyle’s victory.
The other two members of Fink’s team, Yu Mo and Sen, were on par with the female mage Esmilla and the priest who had a weird fighting style.
However, Yu Mo had just changed his profession, and his apostles’ skills weren’t rich enough. His current abilities were inclined towards stealth and scouting, and his lethality wasn’t enough. Sen didn’t have much combat talent. In fact, he was only a blacksmith and an auxiliary healer in the team. Perhaps he would only have a certain combat ability when his professional skills were enriched and he advanced to a higher level.
Generally speaking, Fink’s team was already quite mature, and the Killer Demon Team that Hill had temporarily set up was unable to face them head-on. Even if Qin Lun and Qing Ming returned at the same time, without the location of the cave, even if Qin Lun could not lose, he would not be able to help others. Qing Ming only needed to suppress him with the range of the longbow.
While Fink was sizing up the battlefield, Sass, Fink’s opponent, was secretly complaining endlessly. His opponent wore a plate armor with a flat-topped helmet buckled like a bucket on his head. There was only a cross gap on his face, revealing his shining eyes. Judging from his body language, he should be the leader of the hostile team that had provoked Hansen a few days ago.
Sass had seen this type of plate armor before. This was the plate armor of the Crusader Knights. It was a type of heavy full-body plate armor, and its defense was extremely abnormal. His opponent was obviously a powerful knight. The difference in strength between the duo was very large.
Although Sass could still defend against it with his skilled shield technique, his arms gradually became numb as time passed. He persisted to the limit and could break the steel wire at any time. Moreover, the opponent seemed to be able to do it smoothly, as if he wasn’t using his full strength.
Hill observed the entire battlefield with the remaining light from the corner of his eyes, silently calculating the time in his heart. The enemy team used the canned iron knight as their sharpness and combined the other two groups to form a conical formation. They could advance or retreat, so they obviously had some strength left in the battle.
However, this was within his expectations. No matter who it was, they would be greatly afraid of the sinister traps that targeted the hill giants. It was the most correct way to retain some strength in battle.
Of course, this was also the special purpose of the three murderers when they made the plan. The purpose was to prevent the enemy from using their full strength and delay more time.
In fact, from the moment the team arrived at the shelter camp, the entire plan had already begun. The six of them were divided into three groups in order to have the enemy team send out people to monitor them, and then use Qin Lun’s elven tale to lure the monitors into a fog.
From the moment Yu Mo was fooled around by them, this meant that the preparations for the plan had been very successful.
Once the enemy’s early probing failed, they would naturally suspect Qin Lun. Since the enemy team was stronger than them, they would definitely split up one person to be responsible for keeping an eye on Qin Lun, who was a key figure.
Once this step works, they will then proceed to a formal plan. The first stage was for Hill and the others to lure away the adult hills. Qin Lun hunted down the small hills alone and divided them into two battlefields, continuing to mislead the enemy.
At this stage, Qin Lun had taken on the most dangerous task. One was that he did not know what type of professionals the enemy would send out, and the other was that Qin Lun might face reinforcements from the enemy halfway through the battle.
Imagine if Qing Ming had sensed the danger in advance and had his teammates rush over to help him. It could be said that Qin Lun was trying to catch a turtle in a jar. He couldn’t even escape, so he would undoubtedly die.
When Hill and the others killed or severely injured the adult hills, the plan would enter the second stage.
At this time, Qin Lun’s life crisis had greatly decreased, and the risk had shifted to Hill and the others. However, Hill and the other two, Sass and the others, were the ones who abandoned the enemy. At most, they would give up the main line and flee back to the camp.
However, the enemy was not an idiot. After seeing such a sinister trap, they would definitely be cautious in the second stage. At least, Hill and the others had no hope of turning the tables on the surface. At this time, the entire team had to passively wait for the X factor to be born.
At most, he could still hold on for three to five minutes. If he missed three minutes, he would have to give up the entire plan and immediately flee for his life!
Hill’s gaze flickered slightly, and he quickly calculated the limit Sass could endure. Apart from Sass, no one else could withstand a few punches from the Iron Canned Knight. Once he made his move, the entire guild would collapse.
Thinking of this, even with Hill’s schemes, he couldn’t help but feel anxious and helpless.
Their plan was very meticulous, but it was precisely because they were meticulous that it seemed to be too complicated. However, if the steps were too complicated, it would be most likely to make mistakes. However, even if they understood this principle, there was nothing they could do. The difference in strength was too great, so what could they do?
Could it be that he really wanted to give up? Hill gritted his teeth, somewhat unwilling. Not to mention Qin Lun, he and Hansen had already paid no less than the value of 100,000 broken crystals. Not recovering a bit of the cost was truly too much of a grievance.
“Alright!” Right at this moment, Qin Lun’s slightly tired voice came from Hill’s Apostle Soul Seal.
Hearing this somewhat inexplicable announcement, Hill’s eyes lit up like rain during a prolonged drought, and he shouted in a deep voice on the guild channel.
“Everyone, retreat!”
With that, Cora, who was standing beside him, turned around and ran into the bushes behind him.
