Volume 4: People who challenge the light Chapter 44: Killing the Horse King

I really didn't expect that the dragon-slaying battle would be so brutal. Standing in the "Dead Space", I was no longer surrounded by the heroes of the past. Only a few relatively weak dark knights were left to accompany me. Taotao was dead and would not be able to fight for six hours. Red Star and the Blood Bat couple were both seriously injured and needed to rest for a while. The surviving dark knights were temporarily unusable and there was a serious shortage of manpower. The three corpse kings were too far away, and it would take a lot of time to get here. In order to conquer the Dark Knight as quickly as possible with absolute strength, I had to call back Wu Ma, who had been living out his days in the Black Knight's territory, to help. This guy was an acquired knight, and had made great contributions. After I had a strong army, I let him retire gloriously and became a bully on the ground of the Black Knight. According to my way of thinking, he threw away the constraints of old thoughts and habits, and led several Black Knight guards assigned to him to kill crazily all day long. Maybe it was because he knew shame and then became brave, he was particularly dedicated, and I don't know how many Black Knights died in vain. Other Dark Knights, even including the former Black Star, did not do it as thoroughly as it did. It absorbed so much soul energy and did not have to accept my summons to go out to fight. There was no consumption, and it was growing at an alarming rate. This time I remembered it and was surprised when I checked it. The mount I tamed the day before was a little inferior, but the power of its soul was far beyond that of an ordinary dark knight. In battle, those innate counterparts might not be its opponents.
With Wu Ma leading the way, we can finally organize the hunting team and start the operation of finding the lone dark knight. We have accumulated rich experience so far. The positions of each other and the coordination of each other's movements do not give the dark knight any chance to escape. Several men surrounded him and beat him half to death. Then I went up and used the "intimidation" ability of the "Supreme Corpse Crown" with all my strength, and forcibly used the "Soul Contract", which easily took one out. Who knows what will happen after resurrection? I am not at ease with too few men.
After killing the second velociraptor, in addition to the "Thousand Man Order" it should have, it also dropped a Knight's Lance, which is a top-level weapon like my Shadow Dagger, called "Returning Lance". In addition to increasing attack speed by 50% and attack damage by 30%, it also has a "Returning Lance" skill. To put it bluntly, it means to stab forward with a spear, and then suddenly turn around without any warning halfway, and stab backward at two to four times the normal speed. Even if the opponent is on guard, it is difficult to dodge, especially in a melee, and it does not consume much mental energy. However, when performing the "Returning Lance", the defense itself will also reveal flaws, so you need to grasp the timing of using it.
This dragon-slaying operation was an unprecedented success. We actually broke the record by killing two velociraptors. Although it was a coincidence, which meant that we indirectly robbed the one that originally belonged to Hua Mantian and his team, it was very satisfying to be able to enrich ourselves and attack the enemy at the same time. It was a perfect ending. According to the contribution, the "backhand shot" was naturally assigned to Afeng for use. Each of us got a top-level heavenly weapon, which can be said to be the biggest beneficiary of the dragon-slaying operation. We got two "Thousand Man Orders" at once. In addition to keeping one for our own use, the other was decided to be transferred to a mercenary group that has close relations with the Tongxin League at a relatively favorable price after discussion. Although an open auction would gain more material benefits, it would also be easy for hostile forces to take it away, which would simply add trouble to ourselves. Private transfers were considered as doing a favor to the other party, which could further strengthen the friendly relationship between the two.
Of course, since we have thwarted the plans of the three major mercenary groups, Hua Du of Hua Man Tian, ​​Ri Bu Er Shi of Yamato Spirit, and Yang Yang of Ye Ban Wu Ren, they will definitely hate us to the core. Although on the surface, they are in the wrong and started the fight first, but the truth is, they all know it well, and revenge in the future is inevitable . Therefore, we must be more vigilant. In addition to strengthening intelligence collection, increasing investment in this area, and paying close attention to the movements of unfriendly and hostile forces, we must also speed up the construction and development of Tong Xin Meng, further consolidate and strengthen the defense of the garrison, and guard against the opponent provoking a group battle. The garrison is our foundation, and we must not allow any mistakes.
However, there shouldn't be too much of a crisis for the time being. Two days later, the first "Light Occupation Transfer Prayer Ceremony" of the Eastern Continent officially began. It was originally scheduled to be held in the Mingguang Cathedral in Baihu City. Because a series of battles with the dark forces did not gain any advantage, in order to reverse the decline and expand the influence, it was decided to be held in the Sun Cathedral in Tokyo City. At the same time, because there were many players participating in the transfer, in order to avoid further riots, a cardinal and a Knight of the God of Light were specially sent to preside over it. Hua Mantian has signed up to participate. After the prayer, he will have to do the transfer task, and then start all over again. During this period, he should have no time to trouble us. However, according to the inside information obtained by Long Xingtian, the Church of Light may have special preferential policies for top players like Hua Mantian who choose to transfer in terms of promotion tasks, rewards, and professional tasks. It shouldn't take too long to return to the ranks of top masters. Once this group of people develops, I'm afraid the storm will really come more violently. Time is limited, and we must seize this opportunity to strengthen our strength as much as possible.
As the Cardinal and the Knight of Light came to the Eastern Continent to preside over the grand prayer ceremony, they were naturally accompanied by many high-level NPCs. Although they would not participate in the suppression of the dark professions, our newly formed "Resistance Alliance" did not have the strength to go and cause trouble, so we could only stop for the time being and focus on internal development. The most urgent task was naturally to expand the manpower. Long Xing Tianxia introduced Bai Yunjian to join, and also wanted to occupy a position as a director. After discussion, Afeng and Bai Yunjian formed a team, taking Yue Linglong and Long Teng to join the alliance of several masters to act together, waiting for an opportunity to create some small troubles for the Church of Light, showing their abilities, so as to improve the system's comprehensive evaluation of them. Of course, we also need to act carefully. Neutral professional players who join the "Resistance Alliance" will have more black stripes on their professional chest emblems, and will be regarded as hostile dark professionals by the Church of Light, and will be treated equally. I originally wanted to personally help Afeng, but was dissuaded by Long Xingtianxia. My presence would limit their performance to a certain extent. Moreover, with my participation, Afeng and the others' actions would be too conspicuous, which might attract some difficult guys, making their actions more difficult and not conducive to achieving results.
After several days of hard work, Red Star and the Blood Bat couple recovered and joined the battle one after another. They finally replenished the Undead Legion and re-recruited dozens of Dark Knights. Wu Ma was sent back by me to continue dominating the Black Warrior territory. This kid is ambitious, and there is not much danger there, so he can develop safely. Maybe he can give me a surprise in the future.
With subordinates, I feel confident. I have just obtained a shadow dagger for thieves, and it is time to consider upgrading to the thief profession. My qualifications are enough. After the intensive training has reached three stars. It is said that high-level thieves of the fourth level can learn attack skills, which can just bring out the power of the shadow dagger. Now I can only wave the dagger around randomly. When fighting against a master head-on, once the opponent is prepared, it is impossible to have much effect. It is a waste of a good weapon.
Dark, too dark. Walking out of the Thieves Guild, I only had this feeling in my heart. Although the difficulty of the second career promotion task doubled, it shouldn't be so perverted. It was said to be a task of "assassinating the horse king". I went deep into the Eastern Grand Canyon to find the largest herd of wild horses, with at least 10,000 horses. The horse king who led the herd was fierce in temperament. Relying on his own power, he often led the herd to find trouble with other relatively weaker populations of the same species, causing unrest in the surrounding areas. My task was to find the horse king and kill it. Of course, although it was called "assassination", there was no limit to the method. You could also find helpers to attack in a large scale and win by force. However, the more people involved, the fiercer the resistance, and the higher the difficulty. Maybe as soon as you show your head, you will encounter a lively scene of "10,000 horses galloping". It is generally not easy to do without extremely strong strength. A more reliable method is to rely on the thief's agility, sneak in quietly, and kill the horse king at close range. However, it is not easy to successfully sneak into the herd of thousands of horses and find the horse king. Even if you are not discovered, if you are unlucky and the horses start running halfway, you will probably be trampled to death by the horses.
The "Assassinate the Horse King" mission has no time limit and cannot be abandoned. You will be promoted when you complete it. It is considered a hurdle for the second career promotion. It is said that genuine thieves also receive this mission. The chance of being trampled to death by the horses is very high. Of course, they can choose to give up halfway, unlike us, who are forced to complete it.
The horses were easy to find. Riding Taotao and summoning Red Star and Blood Bat, it was much easier than those ordinary thieves. However, looking at the huge mass of tens of thousands of wild horses ahead, although they were not densely distributed, I didn't know the exact location of the horse king, and blindly groping would waste a lot of time. If I were to complete it in the normal way, it would be time-consuming and laborious. I still had a lot of things to do, so I really didn't have much time to spend on this. I could only think of another way to win by surprise.
I quietly lurked on the side, not deep into the herd of wild horses, waiting for the moment when thousands of horses galloped. It was the most dangerous, but it was also the best opportunity for me. Because once the horses started to gallop, the horse king hidden in the herd would gradually show his head and lead the way. The target was obvious, so there was no need to make an effort to find it, but it could not be disturbed too much. If it sensed danger, it would shrink back into the herd. A single thief would definitely not be able to seize such an opportunity. If there were too many people, the horse king would not come out. A senior player once proposed a similar action concept in "Tianmei", but it involved too many aspects and required some luck. I have never heard of any thief who succeeded according to this concept. This was also thanks to Afeng. I saw that the information about the necromancer and the thief was introduced to me, so I learned about it. In order to complete the promotion task as soon as possible, I weighed my own characteristics and decided to take the risk to implement this plan that was described as " extremely crazy".
Taotao, Hongxing and Blood Bat are all on standby. Only with their speed can they get ahead of the running wild horses and wait for an opportunity to snipe the Horse King. There is only one chance. If the Horse King hides back into the wild horses, I don't have the strength to compete with tens of thousands of galloping adult wild horses.
The herd of wild horses finally started to move, starting with a small part, not very fast, and then the rest followed, gradually leading the whole herd, and the speed became faster and faster. I also started to move when they started to move, riding Taotao and following the herd of wild horses that were leading the herd. The herd of wild horses could change direction at any time while running, and it was difficult to predict the direction and catch up in front to intercept and ambush them.
I followed closely behind the wild horses. Fortunately, Taotao had undergone the second evolution and his abilities had improved a lot. He was able to keep up with the ordinary wild horses and not fall behind. Gradually, the horse king finally showed up, a tall and majestic black horse, at least half a head taller than the ordinary wild horses, leading by two body lengths. The chance only depended on the small distance it was ahead of.
I took Red Star and moved sideways and diagonally, gradually approaching the Horse King, waiting for an opportunity to attack. The Horse King would not be afraid to hide unless they were at a certain distance. The Blood Bat couple had already flown above the Horse King in bat form. As long as there was a moment's delay, they could transform into human form and attack.
As we got closer, the Horse King seemed to notice our presence and slowed down suddenly. I didn't dare to wait any longer and immediately cast "Summon the Dead". Nearly two thousand zombies appeared behind the Horse King and in the open space nearby. Although they were temporarily unable to move, they used their bodies to block the other wild horses that followed the Horse King, delaying the time for the Horse King to retreat and hide in the herd. At the same time, the blood bat couple transformed into human form and surrounded the Horse King from the front and back. Unfortunately, the hit rate of "Blood Evil" against high-speed targets was too low. Otherwise, it would be much easier to kill the Horse King by covering it with "Blood Evil" first.
The idea was good, but the reality did not develop completely as I expected. Before the zombies could eliminate the lag effect and regain their mobility, they were knocked to the ground by the wild horses that rushed up continuously. They were soon killed by the hooves. The wild horses running at full speed exerted a stronger impact force, which was far beyond their usual ability. Nearly two thousand zombies disappeared just after they were summoned, and only a few hundred wild horses were buried with them. Moreover, the wild horses seemed to have sensed the danger and desperately moved closer to the horse king, stepping on the bodies of their companions who fell due to the collision, and their steps did not slow down at all.
