Until now, those elite skeletons hadn't even killed a core member of Francis's team!
Only ordinary skeletons and grunt fish servants were killed!
This made Sidney more resentful of Francis.
He swore that as long as he caught Francis, he would torture him to death!
And then he would give his head to Highness Augustine!
"No matter what, we must find them as soon as possible. If we continue to delay, Highness Augustine will also be angry!" Sidney looked at the members present.
Augustine could see everything on the stage from their view.
If they couldn't end the battle as soon as possible.
At that time, even if they won, he wouldn't get Augustine's reward. On the contrary, he would be punished!
Augustine would never allow his team to have a group of losers!
"Two people in a team. If you are attacked, gather with other teams. Don't fight alone. They can kill Alva, so they are not weak!"
"Don't take it lightly, even if they are only level 10!"
After Sidney finished his words, the whole team was divided into ten teams.
He was in charge of wandering around and guarding and paid attention to all the movements of skeletons present.
Francis was training the skeleton warhorse when he saw the sudden appearance of Mouse and Ghost.
"What's wrong?"
He got off the horse and asked.
With a gesture, Mouse told Francis what had happened.
"Team up to search for us?"
When Francis heard the news, his first reaction was that he could defeat their team one by one, but on second thought.
He had used this tactic when he killed Alva.
It was hard to say if the opponent would make a plan to deal with it.
If he made a rash move, he would be a lamb that came to their door.
Being surrounded by a group of level-30 skeleton soldiers, Francis was not confident that he could take all the core members away.
"Keep observing, but don't get close. If anything happens, let Ghost take you away."
As Ghost's level increased, it could temporarily drill into the soil with one skeleton to avoid the attack.
To tame a horse thoroughly, first of all, one had to make it surrender.
Under the gaze of skeleton underlings, Francis rode the majestic skeleton warhorse, holding the rein with one hand, and the tip of the dragon bone spear scratched on the ground.
He looked into the distance, where several high-level skeletons were looking for him in a team.
The message of Mouse came back soon.
"Their search area is slowly approaching us. We can't sit still and wait for death." Francis looked back.
The underlings hiding behind the rocks had already rested enough.
They hurriedly killed a few low-level skeletons and used their ghost fires to heal themselves.
Their recovery speed was much faster than their self-recovery.
Now, it was the time for Francis to organize the underlings to counterattack!
"Where did they hide?"
Sidney had been searching for Francis for a long time, but still couldn't find him.
The members of the elite team were divided into different groups, their search range was large. Logically speaking, it was impossible to find nothing, but Francis seemed to have dived into the ground without any trace.
This puzzled him.
Francis was just a skeleton leader of level 25. How could he do that!
"Keep searching. Don't relax. If there is anything wrong, report it in time!"
Sidney didn't dare to relax. This was the task that Augustine specially arranged for them.
If they couldn't get rid of Francis expeditiously, they would be punished by Augustine after returning to the camp!
He didn't want to face Augustine's anger face to face.
"Ah!"
A scream suddenly came, and Sidney turned his head to look.
A team member fell from the horse and fell to the ground.
He held his body in pain and after rolling a few circles, the ghost fire in his eyes gradually dissipated.
Sidney couldn't believe it, in just a few seconds.
A level-30 elite was killed by the enemy.
Even if Augustine did it himself, he couldn't do it.
Sidney didn't even see clearly what the enemy was doing, let alone what weapons and skills they used to kill his companions.
"Attention, everyone! The enemy is lurking around us. Don't let your guard down!"
Sidney rode to his companion.
The scattered teams immediately gathered.
"What should we do now? We can't sit still and wait for death, can we?"
"Time is too short. I didn't see anything!"
"What should we do next?"
Shocked by the scene in front of them, even the elite team was a little flustered. They all looked at Sidney, hoping that he could come up with an idea as soon as possible.
"Their methods are too weird. We can only gather together now to avoid being attacked by them."
Sidney had rich combat experience, but he had never encountered such a strange thing.
His companions died without noticing the enemies.
If Augustine knew about this, he would definitely be punished after he returned to the camp. His dream of replacing Alva and becoming the team leader would be shattered.
"These idiots only know how to circle around. I thought they would be difficult to deal with after having their consciousness. I didn't expect them to be a group of grunt fish."
Francis stood behind the rock and looked at Sidney from the perspective of the underlings.
He had asked Mouse to launch a sneak attack and assassinate a team member.
He had thought that through this sneak attack, he would be able to test Sidney's strength, but he did not expect that his opponent would be shocked by the means of Mouse, so he hurriedly let all the team members gather together.
This made Francis's next plan a little difficult to implement. In his plan, after witnessing the strength of Mouse, Sidney should continue to expand the scope of the search and find out the assassin as soon as possible, but he did not expect Sidney chose to gather.
In the face of an unknown enemy, he gathered all his strength in his hands, defend comprehensively, and gave up the active attack.
Then he was not far from death.
With the help of Ghost, the sneak attack of Mouse was almost incurable.
The fusion plus assassination, and Ghost's assistance.
Mouse shuttled among the team like a real assassination ghost.
Skeleton fell one after another. Before they died, they couldn't even scream. They could only watch the sky getting blurry and their vital signs flowing out of their bodies.
The elite team, which should have devoted all their strength to the battlefield, had lost their lives under the assassination of Mouse.
Francis couldn't bear to see the result. He didn't expect that although there were only 3 skeletons left, Sidney still chose to gather together.
He just let his companions die by his side one after another.
"Even though these skeletons have their consciousness, their judgment is still inferior to that of humans."
Francis sighed silently.
He rode the skeleton warhorse and appeared in front of Sidney.
"You are Francis. You killed my companion and set yourself against Highness Augustine!"
Looking at Francis, the ghost fire in his eyes suddenly turned blood red.
"It's me!"
Francis condescendingly looked at him.
"You must pay for all this!"
Sidney roared and rushed towards Francis on the skeleton warhorse.
He ignored the skeleton underlings beside Francis.
By now, his companions had all been killed and injured, and it was useless for him to barely stay alive. It was better to fight for the last chance and take Francis as a cushion.
Unfortunately, things went contrary to his wishes. Before he rushed to Francis, he felt a chill in his heart. He looked down and saw the dragon bone spear that once belonged to Alva appears in front of his chest.
"You picked it up... But how could you use the Snake Spear Skill?"
Sidney clearly saw that the move that pierced his chest just now was the skill that Alva had used.
Now he suddenly appeared in Francis's hands. He couldn't figure out why.
Would Francis assimilate all the skills of the skeletons that he killed?
Thinking of this, he felt a chill in his heart.
All the 20 members of the team were killed by Francis's assassination. If all their skills were absorbed by Francis, Francis would become a skeleton leader, who could compete with Highness Augustine.
Besides, all of this could be their help to Francis.
This made Sidney regret, who had sworn to be loyal to Highness Augustine forever.
He blamed himself for not luring Francis out earlier and taking the initiative, his wrong decision made the tragedy happen.
If it weren't for his fear of making mistakes, he wished to defeat Francis with a 100% sure.
Then the whole team wouldn't end up like this.
The regret in Sidney's heart couldn't change anything. He could only watch Francis take his life.
The moment Sidney fell, the ghost fire flew out of his body.
"Including him, I can upgrade 2 levels in a row, and there are so many black crystals..."
Francis looked at the black gold stone scattered on the ground and nodded with satisfaction. After this battle, he gained a lot. Not only did he improve his level, but he also had more and more skills.
He was confident that he could win a single battle against a skeleton soldier of level 35.
Francis kicked away the furious skeleton horses and asked Garbage to tame them.
He picked up the black crystals on the ground.
The 19 skeleton warhorses were just enough for each of his underlings.
"I'm sure Augustine won't give up. As long as he dares to send skeletons here, he is to give me free experience and materials. When my level is high enough, I can challenge him."
Francis didn't forget the hidden task he had received.
Killing Augustine would not only get the reward of the system but also turn his body into a peerless weapon.
Who could refuse an orange weapon refined by a powerful skeleton leader?
Francis sat aside to check his skills and then handed the finishing touches to Garbage.
In addition to the ghost fires and black crystals that he had to use, Francis gave the rest of the materials to Garbage to manage the distribution.
Augustine watched the whole battle from the perspective of his underlings.
"These idiots. Their own strength could crush the opponent at the very beginning, but they were afraid and didn't dare to attack!" Augustine broke out into curses.
He couldn't figure out why the invincible elite team was defeated by Francis.
It didn't make sense at all!
