However, there is a certain limit to the number of the enemy, to the point that weakening the strength of a single piercer can completely alleviate the pressure in a certain area.
That just means the upper limit is probably lower than we imagined.
"Weakened strength? What do you mean? Weakened just because the chain was broken?" Lana asked directly without hesitation.
"Once the piercer's chain is broken, it cannot be reattached in a short time."
The longer the interruption, the longer it will take them to recover.
Just like a demon whose hand has been cut off and then reattached, it will always feel strange and will not function normally as before.
The same applies to those who pierce.
Even if the chains are put back on, they will still need time to 'heal'. Yu Wu explained with a light laugh, making no attempt to hide anything.
Rather than saying there was no intention to hide it, it would be more accurate to say that this was common knowledge among most members.
Many members were excited when they saw the chain break.
Their excitement wasn't about relieving stress; it was simply that they were thrilled to see the monster, who always slaughtered indiscriminately on the battlefield, broken its chains and severely wounded.
Nine. "I see..."
Lana nodded slightly, then asked again;
"Then... what about those linkers?"
We haven't seen him much tonight.
“Because your mission is only to rescue the ‘prey,’ other members are responsible for assassinating the Linkers,” Rain Witch said.
He also sensed something from Lana's question.
Liu [Chaos Demon] seems to be dissatisfied with dealing with the binders and wants to "climb up".
Since both sides share the same goal, he was happy to say more.
Lana: "Assassination?"
Yu Wu was secretly delighted, thinking that this silly girl had indeed been piqued.
He continued, "As you know, the other party has extremely strong perception abilities, and is not on the same level as the patrollers below."
Unlike the Inspector, the Linker, true to his name, is able to link to the spirit of the Bound One…
Let them act as if they were your own brothers and sisters.
Lana slightly widened her eyes.
Acting like limbs is a completely different concept from the "orders" given by the inspectors.
The inspector needs to complete the steps of "giving an order → the patroller receiving the order → the patroller taking action".
The linker only needs to have a thought.
With just a thought, one can immediately control the actions of the bound person.
In other words, zero-delay mobilization of the restrainers.
It's like raising your hand or foot.
Dealing with one Linker is equivalent to dealing with a large group of Binders, and these Binders are actually sharing the same brain.
The Wanderer needs to know the command to act, while the Bound One has completely emptied its mind and become the Linker's weapon.
Rain Witch added, "Like the Piercers, the more Binders are deployed in a certain area, the fewer Binders can protect the Linkers."
Whether to deal with the front or the rear, to attack or defend, the other side must also make a choice.
To deal with the linker, some members must be positioned in front to restrain the linker, allowing members behind to approach the linker.
"The Linker's perception range is very large, and if it senses an assassin, it can quickly withdraw the Binder."
If you want to assassinate someone, you have to do it quickly.
Break through the enemy's restrainers as quickly as possible, kill the Linker before reinforcements arrive, and then escape.
“That sounds pretty difficult,” Lana said.
At least for the members of Dawn, achieving all of this is probably not easy.
Assassination is something that should probably be left to the highly agile demons.
Among the White Demons, there are quite a few who are already quite agile.
Even demons with an agility rating above 150 cannot completely escape the other party's perception.
Most importantly, many of the opponent's spells are related to sealing and binding.
In other words, even if a highly agile demon were to arrive, it might not be able to easily break through the enemy's defensive forces.
“If you’re interested, I can make arrangements for you to participate in assassination missions,” Yu Wu said with a smile.
"I'll go back and discuss it with everyone," Lana waved her hand.
“If there are any assassination missions, I will notify you in advance,” Rain Witch nodded.
……
It was already dawn when we left the underground.
On the way, the adventurers chatted briefly about the information they had just learned in a group chat.
This time, An Yi did not offer any suggestions or opinions too quickly.
[Sword Hero: Let's rest first, there's no need to rush.]
He only said this one sentence in the chat group.
However, he explained everything in his private chat with Lana.
[Private] Sword Hero: Swollen / ‰: %』∏□蓤§'Service? [Rain Witch has hidden some things from you.
He didn't tell you that killing the linker was pointless.
[Private] Dragon Warrior: Meaningless? Why?
[Private] Sword Hero: It makes sense for us, but Dawn just needs to kill more Binders.
If they want to kill the Linkers, they need to send out some of their most powerful elites.
But even after they are killed, their situation will not change.
The things the Binders do every night don't require the Linker's control, do they?
Lana: "!!"
After reading An Yi's words, she suddenly realized what was going on.
Upon closer examination, it becomes clear that situations requiring manipulation by the linker are likely already quite challenging.
Just like the commotion caused by the [Chaos Demon] earlier, even the Piercer was driven away in disarray.
When encountering members of [Dawn], the Linker usually only makes general adjustments and there is no need to directly control and intervene in the battle.
Rather, this is actually better.
If the Bound Ones start to "share their brains" and unite to attack and defend, the members of [Dawn] will actually be harder to defeat.
They barely cooperated, yet the enemy managed to achieve a result greater than the sum of its parts.
The linker doesn't need to take action, but by actively provoking the other party, they give the other party a reason to control the situation themselves.
"Assassination" is indeed a very tricky task.
Moreover, it was a thankless task for Fei Xiaoshuo.
Whether you assassinate someone or not, there is absolutely no difference in what you have to do, and Dawn will hardly benefit from it.
but……
But the brave cannot refrain from killing.
They must reach the level cap by killing level 16 [White Linkers].
Lana said she would think about it, but the answer was actually quite clear, and she didn't even need to think about it.
[Private] Dragon Warrior: If we really go, Dawn might not do anything, right?
[Private] Sword Hero: Yes.
But not so fast.
Wait a little longer;
Wait a minute, let them figure out how to use this to their advantage.
When they figure out how to use us, they will notify us.
[Private] Dragon Warrior: ...Alright!
She then understood why An Yi had told the others to "rest first."
They really had no other rush to do anything besides rest.
After understanding that Chaos Demon wanted to continue climbing, Dawn needed time to make a longer-term plan in order to gain greater benefits.
They are highly intelligent demons, and they would definitely have a clear plan for this. How could they possibly do charity for free and pave the way for the Chaotic Demons?
Soon, the heroes returned to the library.
Miley nestled in the corner, sitting on the floor with her thighs together in front of her, and placed the notebook on her lap.
I survived another night, it's time to start writing my diary @∝£(4〇似∮&三¢↓五◇4中∏◇转〉+畣:记了。
However, looking at the page that was already mostly written, she didn't pick up her pen for a long time.
Because that half-page recorded what I saw and heard the night before;
The night before last, they reached the level cap of 370 by killing level 14 demons.
They were only level 340 when they arrived, and now...
But it has already reached level 400!
They are estimated to be the first warriors in the world to break through level 400!
The rapid level increase made Milai feel unreal, and she didn't even start allocating skill points.
