Chapter 527: The optimal solution to the hostage problem(2/4)

The production of so much plasma and minced meat now will definitely alert some monsters with a keen sense of smell."

"Ah! Sorry, I didn't think about that much just now. I just wanted to vent my previous depression."

Aberdare scratched his head in embarrassment.

But Sancho shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "It doesn't matter.

Anyway, our whereabouts should have been noticed by the other party after entering the castle shrouded in psychic energy.

It doesn’t really matter whether you hide it or not now.

The important thing is how to minimize the number of monsters before the enemy reacts.

After all, the mind flayer is not easy to deal with.

In some places, they are even more dangerous and difficult to deal with than lichs."

"Then according to what you say, we can kill without restraint?"

Aberdare's eyes shone slightly, and he subconsciously licked his lips.

There is no doubt that the killing just now greatly stimulated the divinity and power belonging to Baal in his body.

Although this guy is trying to restrain that instinctive impulse, if he continues to kill, it will only be a matter of time before he transforms into a killer.

After experiencing the disaster of facing Kangas, Sancho obviously had his own judgment about this older brother. Instead of choosing to stop him, he encouraged him meaningfully: "You are right.

From now on, we need to split up and quickly clean up all the monsters we encounter in the castle.

In this case, the mind flayers will be confused and unable to accurately determine our exact location, thereby buying more time.

Aberdare, you and Jaheira are responsible for the first floor.

Minsk, you go to the outer courtyard and city wall with Imoen and Nalia.

Viconia and I went to the second floor.

Remember, if you are chased by a large number of enemies led by the Mind Flayer, don't hesitate to fight. Just turn around and rely on the complex terrain in the castle to escape.

Anyway, until the effect of the mind-blocking potion disappears, the psychic abilities of those mind flayers cannot pose much threat or impact to us in a short period of time.

In addition, another point is that you must not rescue Sir De Arnis recklessly.

I suspect that there should be a powerful psychic user hidden somewhere in this castle, most likely the mind flayer's mastermind.

So before we are ready to face it, we must first clear away other possible interferences."

"I understand, then let's split up."

Jahira was the first to stand up and agree.

She can feel that the most reliable person in this team besides herself is the boy in front of her who has developed into an "inhuman monster".

As for the original team leader Aberdare...

The half-elf druid subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the other person, only to find that this guy was peeking at his chest, butt and thighs through the gaps in the armor, without showing even the slightest sense of crisis.

Although this was not the first time this happened, she still felt very angry and disappointed.

But at the same time, there was also a little unusual turmoil in Jahira's heart, and she recalled what Zuo Si had said before, "His attitude towards you is not just that of a friend or an elder."

The most important thing is that due to the death of her husband Khalid, the only barrier that existed between the two disappeared.

If she wanted to guide Gillian's adopted son to the right path, perhaps the best choice would be to start with feelings and use this as a bond to bind the blood of Baal, the God of Murder, in her body.

This is not uncommon within the Harper Alliance.

You must know that being able to rely on love, friendship, and family affection to save a soul that is about to fall into evil is a commendable thing from every aspect.

What's more, Jaheira has always felt that she has an unshirkable responsibility for Aberdare.

Just like this, with a little struggle, a little resistance, and a little expectation, the two quickly walked through the hall and swept the rooms on the first floor one after another.

The remaining two groups of people rushed to the courtyard outside the castle, while the other group climbed to the second floor.

There is no doubt that Sancho's strategy directly stunned the mind flayer who came with the monster slaves to support and capture the intruders, and was slightly confused about the situation.

Especially the ambush the boy set at the entrance to the second floor, which directly detonated the explosion trap and a large area of ​​​​Death Cloud Technique.

Dozens of low-level monster cannon fodders lost more than 90% of their casualties in an instant, and even the trolls with powerful regeneration abilities fell to the ground screaming and turning into charred corpses as they burned in flames.

The injured Mind Flayer didn't even stay for a second, turned around and fled underground to report the situation to the mastermind.

After all, they cherish their lives very much and will never leave the battle easily before all their slaves are consumed.

"Well done!

It seems that after experiencing this ambush, the mind flayers will become extra cautious and dare not send out men to search the entire castle.

This means that Aberdare and Minsk have plenty of time to sweep away the monsters on the first floor, the outside yard, and the walls.

Moreover, the corpses of slain monsters can also be controlled using necromantic magic, becoming the most powerful weapon against mind flayers.

By using some means to convey information, and then using the enemy's psychology to achieve your own goals, you are now behaving more and more like your master."

Viconia raised the corners of her mouth and praised without hesitation.

But Sancho didn't show any joy at all. He just shook his head expressionlessly: "No, he is far worse than my mentor.

If it were him, there would definitely be more methods and strategies that could be used.

Okay, don't just stand there, use your magic to pull up all the corpses that are still usable.

I want to see what these mind flayers are up to.

What's going on with that weird psychic whisper."

"As commanded."

Viconia bowed slightly, then raised the Holy Emblem and began to chant a spell.

After a while, a large number of skeletons and zombies were awakened one after another under the influence of negative energy.

In the end, about thirty or forty low-level undead creatures were successfully controlled.

Since he is a priest who believes in the Great Devil and is equipped with evil magic items related to necromancy, Viconia can control more undead creatures than his priest level limit.

To be precise, due to Zuo Si's in-depth research and proficiency in necromancy, all priests who believe in him will not only obtain exclusive divine magic, but also can control the number of undead three times that of ordinary priests.

It is precisely because of this that Sancho dared to formulate this plan.

Otherwise, even if the other three mages in the team join forces to create undead creatures, they can only control less than forty lowest-level zombies and skeletons at best.

But now, Viconia alone can control an undead army with the help of [Undead Lieutenant].

Coupled with several four-ring [Dead Manipulation] wands held by the boy, it can directly transform all monsters controlled by the mind flayers around the castle into undead souls that sound the death knell for the enemy.

As we all know, when dealing with terrifying creatures like mind flayers, the simplest and crudest way is to recruit enough undead creatures and then push them straight through.

Since the undead have no minds, they can ignore all charms and psychic attacks, directly eliminating the mind flayer's greatest advantage.

Many mind flayer strongholds are basically destroyed by undead creatures summoned by mages or priests.

In addition to undead, constructs that are also immune to psychic attacks and charms are also good choices.

However, the construction cost of constructs is usually very expensive, and it is obviously not the first choice for those who are not very wealthy spellcasters.

In contrast, low-level undead can be produced in large quantities as long as there are corpses.

Moreover, the corpses of dead Mind Flayer slaves can be used as supplements during the battle.

So Sancho decisively chose the strategy of gathering the undead.

In order to avoid conflicts of opinion with his teammates, especially Druid Jahira, who believes in nature, he will definitely object to awakening the undead on a large scale, so he split the team into separate operations.

In this way, unnecessary quarrels can be avoided and the plan can be turned directly into an established fact.

Obviously, Sancho, who has learned from the failure, has completely changed his way of thinking. He no longer chooses to discuss with his teammates as he did before. Instead, he regards all opponents as chess pieces, and his own brain is responsible for command and control.

In his view, only in this way can casualties be avoided to the greatest extent and the chance of defeating a powerful enemy be increased.

With this idea in mind, the boy and Viconia, without the other members of the team knowing anything, pulled up all the corpses of the monsters they had killed.

After the number of undead reached a certain level, Sancho immediately issued an order to sweep the entire second floor.

Under the fierce attack of an astonishing number of zombies, skeletons and ghouls, the mind flayers who stayed on this floor to guard and defend the goblins, trolls, ogres and snakemen were all killed or injured before they could react to what was happening.

Almost exhausted.

A LV11 snake mage tried to sound the alarm and then opened the portal to escape.

But as soon as he chanted a few syllables of his spell, Sancho completed the counterspell, and at the same time Viconia jumped out of the darkness, swung the mace and knocked it to the ground with a bang.

By reading the thoughts and memories of the captives, they quickly realized that they were facing a community of mind flayers led by a new mastermind, and there were about twenty adult mind flayers.

"Damn it!

It turns out that this group of mind flayers captured the castle in order to find a relatively safe place to transform the mastermind.

What do you think we should do next?

You must know that the mastermind of the Mind Flayer is not an easy character to deal with.
To be continued...
