Chapter 209 Transfer of power
This is a rare situation.

Mercenaries are a very cautious group of guys, especially those who can serve as captains, are even more cautious.As the captain of the team, it is difficult for them to accept that someone is more suitable than themselves for deploying the team to deal with occupation, and it is even harder to admit that others do better than themselves.Therefore, even in a crisis, keeping a firm grip on command is what most captains do.

This behavior is not shameful and everyone understands it.

On the one hand, everyone has self-esteem and compares their feelings with their own. If they were themselves, they would probably do the same thing, so they have no right to blame others.On the other hand, after running in, a certain degree of tacit understanding has often been formed between the team members and the captain. At this time, a temporary change of captain may have the opposite effect, causing the team to fall into confusion and confusion.

Therefore, there were so few temporary captain changes that everyone was taken aback.

In fact, Mia herself was frightened by her decision.

Leading a team is actually a very tiring task, and the Elf Mage knows this very well.In the past 100 years, she has led dozens of teams on adventures, and has also ventured into projections from other worlds to gamble her life, so she knows very well that the burden of leading a team far outweighs the benefits.

A qualified captain must balance everyone's interests, be responsible for the life and safety of each member, and lead the team to deal with the rapidly changing situation, which can be regarded as a heavy responsibility.Maybe just one tiny mistake can lead to the team falling apart at worst, or directly destroying them, and no one will be spared.

Therefore, every time the elf mage Mia served as the captain in these years, she seemed relaxed on the surface, but she was always trembling in her heart, fearing that something would go wrong.Years of psychological pressure made her feel very tired, until she met Xiul.

Although it has only been seven days, Mia already has a certain understanding of Shuer from the perspective of a bystander.In her opinion, this man is sensitive and meticulous, and has excellent logical analysis skills. His observation and understanding of the things around him are unparalleled. Whenever he makes a judgment, no matter how absurd the reason sounds, it will be proved afterwards. , his judgment is correct.It may be a coincidence once or twice, but if it happens every time, it must be intentional.

Moreover, this person's judgment of people's hearts and his grasp of personal characteristics are what Mia feels inferior to. He can discover the strengths of everyone around him and then assign him the most suitable tasks.Just like the request for help from Moria just now, it seems that among all the people present, only Lin Jing can easily deal with all the spiders dropped by the air. Others, even if two or three people are reasonable, may not be able to deal with it. So clean.

Mia's self-esteem is very strong. Mountain elves have always been known for their stubbornness and pride. It is not easy for them to admit that they are inferior to others.

These days, ever since she learned that Xiure might have rich leadership experience, although she didn't show it, Mia was always competing with Xiure in her heart, and she always had to compare in her mind about big and small things.This is her habit, not to prove anything to others, but to tell herself that I am stronger than others.

However, she discovered that Xiure had no intention of secretly competing with her. Although he could always look in front of her, he had been cleverly using various means to secretly remind her of what he saw. Even he was considered his opponent. No, this made Mia feel very humiliated.

If he were a stingy person, he might directly target Xiure. Even if he didn't do anything substantial, at least he would deliberately not accept Xiure's opinions.But Mia is not stingy. Since Seul is right, she must accept it, but accepting it will increase Mia's sense of shame. It is simply a vicious circle.

Until just now, if Shuuer hadn't warned them in advance, the mercenaries might have been attacked by the little spider above their heads. An accident during the battle would have resulted in death.

Maybe he is really more suitable for commanding the team than me, this thought came out of my heart unconsciously.Even she was surprised. Could it be that she, who had never refused to admit defeat, actually gave in this time?

But after repeated consideration, Mia made a decision. Since you are more suitable than me, I will let you command the team for the time being. This will at least make the team's safety more secure.

"Are you sure?" Shuer was also surprised. He had never thought of taking Mia's place and commanding the battle.He could tell that Mia had always had the idea of ​​​​competition in her heart, and he did not dislike her character, so he had always restrained himself in order not to steal Mia's light in front of others.

"Don't talk nonsense, of course I'm sure."

The spells on Mia's hands continued, and under the burning of the flames, large pieces of spider sacs on the top of the head cracked open, and countless small spiders fell down, and were transferred to the surroundings by the magic. After a while, the spider sacs on the top of the head cracked. The egg sacs have all been burned away, and the original roof can finally be seen within the circular range.

"No matter what decision I make?" Shuer tried his best to maintain the magic that only had a few seconds left, and asked again, "Even if it goes against your idea?"

"Are you done? What is the professional ethics of mercenaries? Do you need me to remind you?"

It's really useful, I haven't been a mercenary a few times.Xiu Er could only think about this in his mind, but of course he couldn't say it out loud. Moreover, he also knew what Mia was talking about. If he continued to ask, it might be a bit insulting.Therefore, Shuer finally nodded, accepting Mia's kindness.

"Now I will command the team, everyone obey my orders." Taking a deep breath, Shuer seemed to have returned to many years ago, to the days when he led his elite troops to fight everywhere. The familiar scenes made him feel... It feels like a dream, "The melee defense circle continues to tighten and the defense range is reduced as much as possible. Others maintain the current formation and slowly move sideways, moving targets, entrances and exits."

Soon after entering, the door everyone came in was re-sealed by a large amount of spider silk released by the little spiders. Originally, Mia never paid attention to it. She could just burn the spider silk when she wanted to go out. No need to do that now. in a hurry.But it's different when it comes to Shuer. It's obvious that he hopes to regain control of his retreat and not put himself in a desperate situation.

"Safu is responsible for opening the way when moving sideways. Dak and the two in one, you should try your best to expand the defensive range and take over Safu's defensive position. Militi, let your children come back and protect us behind us. Don't Let any spider get close. Yuri, are the ice magic ready? Very good. Keep it activated at any time and wait for my command. Mia, your task is to create a sloping ice wall above your head. The ice wall must be consistent with The ground and walls form a triangle, sandwiching us in the middle. The ice wall needs to follow our movement and extend all the way to the entrance and exit. Your magic power should be enough."

"no problem."

"Perfect. Also, Friesen, Friesen, can you hear me?" What Shuer called was the thief who had never shown up since the beginning of the battle. No one knew where this guy was, or even whether he was there. He was not sure even if he entered the magic pool, but Shuer still believed that he was in the room.

"You don't need to answer. I guess you are around the female spider right now, trying to find an opportunity to attack its body. It's a good idea, but I must remind you two things."

"First, it is of the legendary level. Your attacks may not be able to penetrate its exoskeleton, so when attacking, try to aim at the joints and other gaps in its exoskeleton."

"Second, don't be superstitious about your shadow sneaking. Pay attention to your steps. If my guess is correct, there should be a lot of fine spider silk on the ground around it. Don't ignore it, it relies on that kind of thing to sense its surroundings. Once you step on it, it can find your location no matter how sneaky you are."

"Also, remember to give yourself reaction time. Once I give the order, come over and join us immediately, otherwise you will bear any consequences yourself."

Clean and tidy, never sloppy, the first thing to do when taking over the command is to make targeted arrangements for everyone in every detail. Maybe Mia's previous style allowed the team members to play more freely, but Seure's style is obviously more suitable for this kind of crisis situation. The more detailed the arrangement, the less likely it is for teammates to be at a loss.

"Understood? Very good, Saf, let's go."

Xiul gave an order, and Safu, who had long been accustomed to obeying his orders, rushed out immediately.

The height of the little spiders is very low, so it is not easy to attack them, especially for close-range professions.Fortunately, Saff's sword was long enough, and she could easily attack cave-dwelling spiders clinging to the ground with her hands holding a sword that was almost half her height.

Chop, chop, chop.

Facing the cave-dwelling spider, the female swordsman has only one attack, which is to slash horizontally.

The attack range of the downward slash is too small, and the piercing attack can only hit one. Only the horizontal slash is the most effective attack method.

The big sword was swung with its own weight, and the sharp edge strengthened by fighting spirit could cut four or five small spiders into two pieces diagonally.As for the remaining fish that can't break through the shell, don't worry. The biggest weakness of the little spider is its light weight. Although an attack from the big sword can't hurt more little spiders, it can use the impact to pull the fish that slip through the net. Knock them away from a distance so that they can no longer block the team's path.

There is no need to worry about the defense range anymore. Safu, who is responsible for opening the way, can attack as much as he wants. In the swarming spider tide, Safu, wielding a big sword, goes upstream and just opens a clear path for others in the tide. channel.

The female swordsman fought heartily at the front, and she didn't even think about whether the passage she had opened up would be closed again. Saf believed that since Xiu Er didn't let her think about it, then this was not a problem at all.

It really didn't count, because there was Dak behind him, and it was Dak who was riding the Nightmare Beast.
