Chapter 65 Battlegroup
The temperature plummeted.
The clerk cursed secretly, wrapped his overcoat tightly, and added a few pieces of firewood to the nearby stove at the same time. But it didn't make him feel any better.
It's almost winter now, and the biting cold wind has already made people see the call of the cold wave. However, for the clerk, all this is not the worst. Cold, famine, war, there is almost no hope in this year, but even so, he would rather blow the wind here than go to the front line to fight those damned evil god believers and monsters.
"Why……………"
Looking at the blank roster in front of him, the clerk sighed. Not long ago, this place was crowded with people, and those mercenaries who were eager for adventure and looking forward to money and power almost stepped through the threshold here. There were even people who had to pay themselves a little bribe to put their ridiculous names on the list.
But now?
There are already very few people here, and almost no one has come to the door. Since the failure of the first recovery battle, there have been very few people here.
And the root of all this lies in that terrifying city.
Thinking of this, the clerk looked through the window like a ghost, and glanced at the gloomy city at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
City of the Damned, Mordheim.
The clerk shuddered, as if just thinking of this name made him feel chills all over his body. Even though the registry office he was in was not on the edge of Mordheim, it still made him feel uneasy—it seemed that just uttering this name would bring about some kind of terrible disaster. Thinking of this, the clerk looked around nervously, as if he wanted to see if a ratman or something else would suddenly jump out of the darkness...
"Boom boom boom!"
The sudden knock on the door almost made the clerk's heart jump out of his mouth in fright. He straightened up hastily, straightened his coat, and then shouted.
"Come in."
Soon, following the clerk's words, the door was pushed open, and then the clerk saw... a huge black figure bent over and walked in, made a "click", and came in front of him.
What is this thing?
Looking at the huge shadow that was almost as high as the roof in front of him, the clerk was stunned. He raised his head and looked up slowly. Then under the light of the fire, he saw a pair of bright red lights shining brightly. s eyes………
"You, who are you?!!!"
If it weren't for the courage brought by his years of military service, the clerk might have passed out at this moment, but even so, he still stared at the other party tremblingly, and asked loudly. At the same time, the clerk's mind was spinning rapidly. what happened? Had the camp been attacked? But why didn't I hear the distress call and the alarm? The other party doesn't look like a human, but an orc? Or those Yankees? Damn... this is the hinterland of the empire! !
Just as countless years flashed through the clerk's mind, he saw the other party stretch out his finger and click a few times on the table.
"Sign up."
"Hey... hey??"
"Here it is, you are going to recruit mercenaries to Mordheim."
"Ah...that's right..."
Hearing this, the clerk's whole body went limp, and he almost slipped to the ground, unable to get up again.
"Really, please don't be scary... I thought it was something..."
As he spoke, the clerk looked out the door, only to see a few guards outside winking at him—this must be revenge for him warming up in the house on a cold day while they were exposed to the wind outside!
"Cough, cough, cough."
The clerk coughed and resumed his work. He picked up the quill and looked at the black knight in front of him.
"Since you plan to sign up, I think you have also heard about His Majesty's recruitment of mercenaries to explore and clear Mordheim. But I want to make it clear to you here that this is a very dangerous job. And you hired Soldiers are to fight on the front line and are mainly responsible for reconnaissance, assault and protection. To put it simply, if you are required to go to the battlefield, you must fight until the follow-up troops arrive... Of course, the reward is settled on the same day, Not less. And what you find in Mordheim must be handed over to the church. If it is very valuable, we will buy it at a reasonable price... As for supplies, you can contact Sir Taylor, who is in charge of logistics supplies, is discussing...do you have any questions?"
If it was any other mercenary, the clerk would not want to say so much, but considering that this guy in front of him is quite scary, he would rather talk nonsense, and he is not willing to be troubled by the other party in the future— —Although mercenaries have professional ethics, they are not soft-hearted people.
"No."
"Very good, then next, do you want to sign up as a battle group or as a single person?"
"Is there any difference?"
"Of course there is a difference. If it is in the form of a battle group, then you can act alone as a team, but if you sign up as a single person, then we will divide you into other battle groups."
"Then I will sign up as a battle group."
"Okay, how many people are there?"
"Five people."
While speaking, the clerk saw the black knight beckoning, and then four figures came out from behind him——they were four beautiful girls in different dresses, and the girl with pink hair had a cheerful and gentle look. With a smile, wearing a pure white robe inlaid with gold trim, it looks out of place with this place. Beside her was a tall, silver-haired woman with a shotgun on her back, and at the end was a girl in a cloak who looked like a noble lady.
And behind them, there is a girl with brown hair and twin ponytails who looks like a maid with a white hair band.
What combination is this? ?
The clerk was somewhat suspicious, but he didn't doubt that the pink-haired girl was a member of the church, because she had the aura of a clergyman coming from her. It's just that he has never seen this kind of robe before... Just when the clerk was puzzled, his eyes suddenly caught a Holy Grail badge pinned to the black knight's cloak.
Could it be the Holy Grail Knight? !
Seeing this badge, the clerk was taken aback. He rubbed his eyes hard and observed carefully—it was indeed exactly the same as the Holy Grail badge drawn on the book. In other words, is this really the Holy Grail Knight? !
Ah, then the one beside him must be the fairy of the lake.
As a member of the empire, the clerk has also heard about Bretonnia, a neighboring country, and he also knows that the Holy Grail Knight will go on adventures with the fairies of the lake to eliminate evil. And the lady with pink hair is cute and beautiful, even if she is a fairy in the lake.
This Holy Grail Knight is a little bit......
Glancing quietly at the terrifying helmet, the clerk withdrew his gaze.
"Cough... sorry, then I will register as a battle group... What is the name of the battle group?"
"Pink bunny."
"Okay, little pink... huh???"
When Duanmuhuai and his party left, Lorena's face was completely red.
"Master Knight, why did you use such a name!"
Lorena stomped her feet and turned her head. Through the gap of the twisted and cracked wooden door, one could even see the suspicious expression of the clerk inside. Bad responsibility too.
"What's wrong? My warband, what name I think of is my freedom."
"That's what I said, but..."
"Besides me, everyone here is a girl. Wouldn't it be nice to have a cute name?"
"Ugh...but it's too embarrassing...can't you name it a unicorn or a pegasus?"
"Because it's interesting... Who stipulated that the wargroup must have a cool name?"
"???"
Although Duanmu Huai's tone was very calm, but for some reason, Lorena seemed to see a meaningful smile on him through the helmet.
"If you don't like the name, how about I go find him and change it to Fluffy Bear?"
"Forget it..."
Lorena was summoned by Duanmuhuai. Before that, he went back to the Holy City to find Lorena, and briefly explained the situation to her. Although it was a little unexpected, Lorena finally agreed to Duanmu Huai's invitation to join his team.
As for Melody's situation, it is a bit special. She was originally a member of the Mechanicum and is currently in the stage of "staying for inspection". However, Duanmuhuai can be considered to have face in the holy city. Promise to let Melody follow Duanmu Huai to act together. If there is no problem with her action, she can go back to work.
The only pity is that her mechanical wings were sealed as a heretical product, but even so, Melody's shooting skills are still very good, and Duanmu Huai really needs a long-range attacker. Moreover, Melody's combat power is really good, as you can tell by looking at her card.
【Criminal Sniper. Melody (Gold)】
[Consumption: 3]
【Attack: 4】
【Defense: 5】
【guard】
[Entrance Song: At the beginning of each battle, one enemy can be dealt X points of damage, X is (half of the number of amulets activated in this battle)]
Although Melody's special effects are currently useless, her long-range high attack power alone is enough.
As for the neurotic maid who was following behind everyone with an idiotic smile on her face, it was none other than the core of the masked female army that Duanmuhuai had fought against before——Fia.
[Puppet Killer. Fia (Gold)]
[Consumption: 2]
【Attack: 1】
【Defense: 2】
[must kill]
[Whenever a puppet enters the battlefield, consume 2 points to transform it into a 'masochistic puppet']
[Closing Song: Randomly transform one of your torture dolls into a doll torturer. Fia]
[Masochistic doll (consumption 2): 1/1, (stealth)]
That's right, this is the reason why Duanmuhuai summoned Fia. Just like the card description, Fia can transform the [doll] entering the arena into a [masochistic doll], which is what Duanmu Huai encountered before. The Masked Female Legion, although their attack power is not high, their characteristics are very good.
【sneak】
In fact, this is basically equivalent to invisibility. Cards with the trait of [stealth] will not be discovered by the opponent before attacking, and they will not be attacked by targeted spells and curses. Unless she took the initiative to attack, or encountered a large-scale AOE. Otherwise, you can hardly see its shadow.
For Duanmuhuai, these [Slaughter Dolls] are simply the best scouts, spies and killers. Although their attack power is not high, Fia's characteristic [Killer] is enough to destroy any enemy. And Duanmuhuai can even use it in this way—he first summons a puppet on the stage, then transforms it into [Masochistic Doll], and then uses the [Sneak] of [Masochistic Doll] to let it sneak into a heavily guarded place, Then Duanmu Huaizhi killed Fia beside him, made him reincarnate on that [Slaughtering Puppet], and then went to destroy the target.
And he can transform another [Slaughtering Puppet] at the same time, and after Fia kills the target, if he is killed, he can transfer it back.
That is to say, as long as the [Torturing Doll] is not completely eliminated, Fia will definitely not die. With her [Must Kill], it can be said that an immortal killer is really...well, it's too scary.
Of course, if we want to talk about the shortcomings, it is that Fia's spirit is not stable... But for now, this can be regarded as a tolerable shortcoming.
Right now, in Duanmuhuai's team, there are MT (self), healer (Lorena), AOE (Ojis), long-range (Meludi) and thief (Fina), basically it can be said that it is a five-player team. The combination is complete.
And then, they can download the copy of the city of the curse!
