Chapter 74 Going Underground

People looked at Roland in awe.

That was not because he was afraid of Roland's power.It's just a black iron. It might be enough to become a squad leader in other places, but it's far from enough in the City of Fortune.

The only thing Roland deserved their attention was his ability to predict the future.

After all, man's deepest fear is the unknown.And a prophet who can break through the fog of the unknown is enough to win the awe of everyone.

Like the druids of Caral, or the astrological wizards of the White Tower.

"I heard that the status of Tianqi Guards is equivalent to that of Su Ze's Viscount——"

The old man rolled his eyes and said solemnly to the others: "We need to show our loyalty to this lord. Only by uniting can we survive this natural disaster."

Ha ha.

Roland sneered quietly.

Well planned.

First of all, he should support Roland, who is very weak, and use Roland's status as a prophet to gather other people together. While using his identity as a proposer to make friends with Roland, he also elevates himself in the eyes of others because of his different relationship with Roland. status, and finally replaced Roland at an appropriate time.

The difference between the City of Fortune and other places is that it is basically impossible for the residents of the City of Fortune to be in awe of the nobles - if you play with a noble lord in the green fruit lock until the early morning, or with a You don't have much awe of Lord Cavaliers who blow till dawn in the pubs of Ridge Street.

It is an abiding truth that the purest awe comes from distance.Once the distance is too close, this awe will inevitably be stained with other colors.

Therefore, if he said this in other places, he might really have brought a lot of loyal subordinates to Roland, but only in the lawless place of the City of Fortune, Roland's "identity equivalent to a nobleman" may actually cause trouble. The envy and greed of others.

First assist, then usurp the throne.What a classic routine, simple yet effective.

But the old man obviously overlooked one thing - this is Broken Throat Avenue, the territory of General Fararo.Even if the Throat Smasher Rods he brought in while concealing his identity were blown to death, trapped and trapped... But, is there only the wizard and no one else around the wizard?
For example, an elite killer organization that can hide under the noses of spies from all forces.

Thinking about it, I also know that the group of half-baked wizards under Marcus who can only crack thunder and can't predict witchcraft, how can they accurately find every high-level crow hidden in the street.Only rangers can find rangers in the wild. Similarly, only elite killers can find killers in chaotic cities.

To be more precise, they are two silver-rank trick knife wizards who have undergone rigorous training.

Roland had previously warned that the bomb might be around the corner—this incident immediately made these most trusted eyes of Marcus raise their vigilance towards Roland.

Yes, the Tianqi Guards were indeed a possibility for Roland to discover the bomb before anyone else.But there is another possibility, that is, Roland himself is the one who planted the bomb.

This matter is undoubtedly a crisis for Roland, but it is also an opportunity.

——An opportunity to completely turn everyone's eyes away from Roland.

After being induced and differentiated by Roland, people with the minimum ability to climb the roof and have the basic obedience ability occupied the 13 yuan roof, among which the people with eight roofs were killed because the ground collapsed, and the remaining five roofs It was Roland's rigorous calculation - the people on each roof are just not as strong as Roland's here, but if the two roofs unite, they will definitely beat Roland's here.

Under such checks and balances, Roland's existence forced them to form an alliance, and because of mutual scruples, it was impossible for them to form an alliance of more than three parties.

Whoever makes the alliance will attract the attention of the remaining Slyblade Wizard.Coupled with Roland's crafty knife wizard here, there will always be at least one area where people will not be monitored.

Before Roland showed his decisive flaw, no matter how much he was suspected, the Slyblade wizards still couldn't be sure that he was the one who planted the bomb.In other words, as long as Roland can prove that he is absolutely innocent, then the Gold Rank powerhouses headed by Marcus will turn their attention to the remaining area.

But the current situation is that as long as Roland is given a short time, he can complete his arrangement.

First, the first step is to prove your innocence...

Thoughts turned in his mind, Roland did not respond to the old man immediately, but first looked at the expressions of the three silver-ranked powerhouses: of the three of them, only one showed obvious disdain on his face, and the other had a faint expression on his face. Suspect.Only one of the youngest men nodded in agreement.

...It seems that the nail is the last one.

Roland narrowed his eyes.

"As long as you are willing to trust me," Roland repeated, "as long as you obey my orders, I can lead you out of here."

"Of course, of course. Old Joseph obeyed orders."

The old man had a serious face, and his voice was full of air without trembling, but his tone was almost flattering.

"Then, I would like to give you my first order—"

The corners of Roland's mouth curled up slightly, his tone changed without warning, and he immediately said in a solemn voice: "The three of the Silver Rank stood at the front with me, protecting the elderly, women and children in the middle of the line!"

"Melee professionals consciously stand on the outside! Let the long-range professionals supervise!"

"Professionals of the stealth class immediately enter stealth, those higher than the bronze rank are at the back of the team, and the black iron rank and the official rank come to the front and stand between the four of us!"

"The wizard immediately began to communicate the rules for detection, and gradually increased the connectivity to the Wall of Orm with a three-stage step-down activation method."

"All the armor-wearing professions are in a defensive stance, and those with keen senses should raise their spirits!"

"The ranger puts away the bow and crossbow, takes out your melee weapons, and launches an attacking stance!"

"No one is allowed to leave the team without authorization, stay in formation, engage in battle freely, and kill the enemy on sight!"

"—When you see an enemy, you must kill it!"

At first, everyone listened to Roland's orders with a mocking or obedient attitude, but the more they listened, the more they felt a damp feeling of fear echoing in their hearts.

wrong.

This arrangement is wrong.

——This is definitely not an arrangement to resist natural disasters or avoid explosive attacks, but more like some kind of defense and elimination of unknown enemies.

But even if they realized something was wrong, they subconsciously followed Roland's arrangement and stood at the station, entering a battle-ready posture.

"This... my lord, who are we going to fight?"

Facing the question of the crafty knife wizard who had sneaked in, Roland's expression was solemn, and a faint breath of iron and blood radiated from him.

"I judge that the person who planted the bomb should be in the sewer," Roland's voice was forceful, "We can't pin all our hope of survival on the murderer."

"We must strike first! Find the group who planted the bomb, and kill them all!"
