Chapter 88 The advantage is mine
Ian quickly assembled the troops in the dragon's lair, including Dorian the Black Falcon and more than 20 of his men, and the captain of Shayala's Dance and his 12 sailors.
Since Ian had already prepared for the Dragon Lair to be attacked, everyone who went to the Dragon Lair brought their full set of equipment. As soon as Ian gave the order, they quickly armed themselves.
"Take off the plate armor and give the plate armor to the three of us." Ian glanced at Black Falcon's several poorly equipped mercenaries, and then said to Rohr and Case.
"What about ourselves?" Rohr asked.
"You two will wear the original plate armor, and my body shape is quite similar to Jonnotho Darry, so I will wear his Kingsguard plate armor."
"We don't have to pretend anymore?"
"At this point, there is no point in pretending." Ian shook his head.
The player alliance of Pentos has set its sights on the Stranger Temple. Once Ian fights with them, it will definitely attract the attention of all the players in Flea Bottom.
In that case, why are you pretending?
What you are playing now is the bright card.
How many players are hiding in Flea Bottom? he does not know.
What method does the ghost in Flea Bottom use to hunt players? He doesn't know either.
But does it matter? This is an escape game, not a mystery game. The most important thing for him is to seize the treasure chest rather than uncover the truth.
No matter what plots and tricks the hunters used, everything was futile in the face of absolute power.
Ian's plan is simple - hit it hard.
It is now the 28th day of the game. Among the resources provided by the system, the largest 'First Blood Mission' reward is taken by myself. The upper limit of resources that other players can get can be calculated.
If you kill several players, you will get some points and attribute points.
After completing [Main Mission 1], you will get some points, skill points and attribute points.
At most, one more triggering task below medium difficulty would be the top. After all, a difficult task like "The Truth About the Death of Black Falcon" is only rated as medium. Ian estimates that the 'difficult' level triggering task should be like capturing a castle. level.
In short, the resources players receive at this time do not include large sums of money, which means that they can only improve their strength but cannot form a decent force.
Of course, even if they have money, whether they dare to recruit a large number of mercenaries to hunt for treasure is also a question.
After all, honorable mercenaries like Kammer are rare. Whether a normal mercenary can hold back in the face of such huge interests is a big question mark.
Even though Ian now has a lot of people under his command, his forces are divided into three groups, namely the Black Falcon mercenaries, the sailors on the Shayala Dance, his new squire Denzel, and Grantson's mercenary team. .
From their respective perspectives, they would think that the other two groups of people are absolutely loyal to 'Sir Lucien'. After all, Denzel is the attendant of 'Sir Lucien', and 'Black Falcon' Dorian personally Sir Lucien has sworn allegiance to Salladhor Saan, the owner of Shayara's Dance, who is a good brother of Sir Lucien's father.
The three groups of people restrained each other so that Ian could easily take the big head without worrying about being betrayed.
As for other players, what do they do to suppress the mercenaries they find?
If nothing else, the dozens of elite swordsmen brought by the player alliance from Pentos should already be the most powerful among the hostile players in King's Landing at the moment, and the ones with the strongest personal abilities should be in Flea Bottom. That guy from the inner circle.
But no matter what, they are not qualified to confront me head-on. The advantage is mine!
After taking off his plate armor, Ian strode back into the house and asked Chigen to help him put on Jonnoso's white plate armor that he had captured in the abandoned fishing village.
The shape of the plate armor is very loose, leaving enough buffer space in important parts. Therefore, Ian, who is not much different from Jonnoso in body shape, almost fits perfectly when wearing this set of plate armor.
The only thing that is inconvenient to use is the iron gloves, because this is a pair of knuckle-type iron gloves that need to be made strictly according to the size of the user's hand. A slight error will cause the fingers to be unable to bend.
Ian was helpless and could only find a pair of chain mail gloves as a substitute. At the same time, he secretly vowed that when he found a place to farm, he would definitely use the technology of multi-section five-finger iron gloves.
After finishing the armor, Ian pulled off the visor, completely turning himself into an iron can, and then put on the burqa with the help of Chigen, hiding the joints between the armors under the burqa.
"Have you found the traitors?" Captain Corian Sussman, wearing a black chainmail, came to Ian.
"Word is that they are hiding in an underground Stranger's Sanctuary in Flea Bottom."
"So all our work in the dragon's lair these days was in vain?"
"If I remember correctly, I have already paid the deposit." Ian's face darkened. He knew that this guy wanted to extort a sum of money as compensation for the wrong information he provided.
"That's the money to help you put down the rebellion, and you let the brothers work here for so long. The purpose is hard work, so..."
"I said, I have already paid, and I think as your employer, I should have the power to ask you to do anything." Ian looked back at Captain Corian's gaze.
In fact, he doesn't mind giving the other party more money, but it must not be done when the other party takes the initiative to blackmail, because this does not show generosity, but appears weak.
In front of these semi-pirate sailors, weakness is a fatal flaw, and they will only obey the strong.
After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Corian lowered his head first: "I don't mean anything else," he changed the subject, "I just came to ask my first mate where they are?"
"Together with Sir Grantham, they are responsible for blocking the enemy's Pentos reinforcements." Ian retracted the murderous intent in his eyes and regained his gentle expression, but his tone was unquestionable, "This is my plan. This matter is not negotiable.”
This made Corian swallow back what he wanted to say about moving his sailors back and letting him under unified command.
In the end, Corian just gave a slight salute: "As you wish, Sir."
The Flea Street at night was dimly lit in the rain, and the stench from pigsties, stables and tannery shops was mixed with the smell of wine cellars and brothels.
With a creak, the old wooden door was gently pushed open, and Esther walked into the house cautiously, holding a bow.
Before entering this world, he was a senior ancient archery enthusiast, and he has been the champion of the club league all year round. His superb archery skills have brought him huge advantages in his development in this world.
Looking out from the second floor window here, you can just see those guys squatting.
He knew that this group of people belonged to the player force because he was targeted by them as soon as he entered Flea Bottom. Fortunately, his counter-detection ability was strong enough and he easily got rid of them.
After disguising himself, he followed them.
Judging from the sudden gathering of people scattered all over Flea Bottom, Esther guessed that this was probably the location of the treasure.
But he is not interested in the treasure, he is interested in the player. As long as he finds the player's position from the crowd later and shoots him, he can capture all the opponent's points at once.
