Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 386: Chapter 165: Abilities of Divine Chosen Level Holy Images and the Rat People’s Misunderstanding

”Simultaneously, Her Grace Virena is also the God of Learning and can use the Wisdom Blessing. In a short time, it allows the target to seize the intelligence of surrounding creatures, making the deprived target reckless and more likely to fall into your preset trap.”

Su Li heard this and laughed, isn’t this what’s called the Dumbing Aura?

Once affected by this aura, the target, even if affected by divine magic, will not notice it and will impulsively act more recklessly.

Su Li checked the time, it was now 8:15 PM, and the clock tower had chimed eight times. Continuing to make large-scale preparations would only further alert the enemy.

So the preparation time was over, and Su Li said, ”We three Chosen Ones, along with three blessings from the church, knowing in advance the route and plans of the ratmen, if we still can’t successfully ambush them, it can only be said that we are too stupid to deserve any other fate.”

”Let’s proceed with the current plan and wait for the ratmen to enter the ambush.”

Oerstein, supporting the banner with his left hand and holding the warhammer in his right, boldly said, ”Lord, our three churches are renowned for wisdom and tactics; this is the highest level ambush meticulously designed by so many Chosen Ones. It is bound to be a great success! You can supervise the battle from the castle and watch us crush the rat’s minions.”

Su Li patted him on the shoulder and said, ”My Marshal, I look forward to your glorious victory; tonight, you will surely be famous along the border.”

Oerstein nodded heavily, then adjusted the liquor flask and the [Blood of the Earth] and [Tears of Mercy] potions on him, and then walked into the bathroom, sitting behind the screen on the north side of the corridor. As soon as the ratmen appear, he will plant the vermilion banner, and under the fluttering battle banner, burst forth to launch a fierce attack on the ratmen.

With the laurel gemstone and two powerful healing potions, even if he is surrounded by the four ratmen, he will not easily fall.

And Hilude, carrying two witchcraft traps, is ready at any time to cut off the monster’s retreat.

Inside Heisen Castle, she didn’t bring the overly lethal and corrosive Well of Souls, but instead brought [Petrifying Gaze] and [Rust Disaster]. This is a metal-element trap that will cause the enemy’s armor to begin to decay, falling off as small fragmented cloud-like pieces, causing the enemy’s joints to rust, thereby drastically reducing movement speed and diminishing the charge power.

As several Chosen Ones completed their deployment, the territory entered a state of outward relaxation but inner vigilance. Except for the few Chosen Ones ambushed near the bathroom, no large number of guards was set up elsewhere.

Instead, a large number of high-level directly affiliated attendants were deployed around the highest point of the castle - the study room, and all the Champion Knights in the territory gathered here.

If the ambush were to fail, and the ratmen wanted to enter the study, they would only have to forcibly break through these layers of ironclad defenses.

To prevent the ratmen from utilizing the [Unstoppable] tactic to infiltrate, the study’s door was left open, ensuring that Su Li and Philis could be seen by the guards.

Inside the room, Freya and Tiberus were closely guarding Su Li.

The formidable reputation of the ratmen assassins was beyond Su Li’s expectations. In the face of such a dire threat, he couldn’t focus on anything else, and the prepared red string, low-temperature wax, and brass bells were not used.

Of course, if these four ratmen assassins were ambushed successfully, all these preparations would become a celebration of victory tonight.

Freya, the ice-cold beauty, would melt and succumb under the extreme thrill.

So, Su Li couldn’t help but ask Freya, ”Are you looking forward to us winning?”

Freya glanced at him lightly and said, ”If you’re nervous, go vent your feelings with your lady courtier. Don’t spout such boring nonsense here.”

Nervous?

Of course, Su Li was nervous. After all, these were the legendary terrifying ratmen assassins, capable of getting through layers of guards to infiltrate the Grand Mage’s study to skin and behead him.

Thus, Su Li couldn’t help wanting to say something to distract himself.

Philis clung tightly to Su Li’s sleeve, with some nervousness and guilt, saying to Su Li, ”Lord, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. If not for me, you wouldn’t have to take such a big risk. Maybe let me stay here alone, and you and Leader Freya should rest in another room for a while.”

Upon hearing this, Su Li looked down at this delicate young lady, patted her hands, and comforted her: ”What nonsense are you saying? This is called ’To bear a crown, one must bear its weight’. This is the path I chose, how can I blame you? Just rest assured and stay here with me, and watch how we crush the ratmen. And see how tonight I’ll melt the ice queen Freya.”

Hearing this, Philis felt a bit more at ease and she turned to check the time; it was already nearing 11:20. The long night was finally drawing to a close.

Su Li also checked the time, then took a brass spyglass and looked down from the study window. The majestic castle was shrouded in dark shadows, appearing somewhat solemn and stern.

In a corner of this magnificent castle, there should already be hidden silhouettes of four ratmen, their target definitely already within the castle, likely stealthily heading toward the bathroom.

Tiberus, carrying a giant war axe on his shoulder, stood beside the window and said, ”Lord, you must be cautious of the ratmen’s assassination; standing by the window is very dangerous, the ratmen have ranged weapons.”
