Demon Lord

The battle went on without any suspense. The wolf knight standing in the pond like a target fell down in round after round of arrow rain. Some of the orcs tried to run away, but they fell into the deep puddle before running far. , and was dragged directly into the darkness by the unknown underwater terrifying thing... never appeared again.

Twenty-nine soldiers shot all the orcs and wargs in the distance into hedgehogs in about five rounds of shooting, but when there were no living orcs moaning on the battlefield in front of them, none of the soldiers dared to step up Go to check the corpses - because after witnessing the scene of the underwater monster devouring the orcs, their excitement about defeating more than forty wolf cavalrymen was far less than the fear in their hearts.

Including Suo Deluoer, the most actions that the scouts did at this time was to wipe sweat. Not only their foreheads, but even their backs were gradually drenched in cold sweat, and their legs were trembling uncontrollably——

Ka-Carter, gather the horses and don't wander around, we'll wait here... until Roddy comes back.

Soderol took several deep breaths before calming down his tone of voice, and Carter next to him came back to his senses, and hurriedly called a few scouts to gather the horses together. At this time, they looked at the pond and puddle not far away, and their hearts were already filled with inexplicable fear. They wished they could hide as far away as possible. Obviously, before this, they had no idea that there would be such a terrifying monster in this puddle.

That's the way to win...we-I mean, such a result, really.

Luge next to Soderol looked at everything in front of him, his emotions were extremely complicated, and he couldn’t tell whether it was excitement or something else—originally, the most thoughts in his heart were revenge and killing, and he shot through it just now with good archery skills. The heads of the three orcs were killed and slaughtered, but at this time there was not much excitement in my heart, I just sighed in a low voice after a long pause: If you told me this yesterday, I wouldn't kill it even if I killed it. believable…

The body is a little tired, and it may be more of the psychological weakness of the rest of the life after the catastrophe. Ruger squatted down and tried to calm his adrenaline-affected body. He looked at the battlefield in front of him and muttered to himself, There are more than forty orcs. Or wolf cavalry. In the end, we all died without touching us. gone.

There's not one left, just like what Roddy said... Luge seemed to feel a little tired from squatting, so he simply sat down on the wet grass and took a few deep breaths, To be honest, I really admire you. Soderol.

Suo Deluoer was looking at the distance in a daze, and when he heard this, he squatted next to Luge, and asked absent-mindedly, What can I admire?

In the morning, Rody took you this way less than three times, right? Now he can write it down exactly. He didn't say anything at the time, and we only thought that these swamps were just slowing down the pace of the orcs. , Now it seems... I really think it's easy-I just thought, if you made a wrong step before, I'm afraid we will end up in the same end as those orcs.

Ruge let out a breath slowly. When Rody said in the morning that he would fight back against the Cossack village, he didn't need to agree at all, but the method Rody described finally convinced him. But the plan is the plan. As a veteran who has experienced brutal wars, he never thought that this seemingly simple strategy could solve the almost incomprehensible enemy so simply and neatly.

Roddy is... very powerful, Ruger said without compliments, but sighed from the heart, He deliberately didn't tell us what's inside, so now we can stand here alive? Knowing what's in there, I really can't be so calm.

No, you guessed wrong.

Soderol shook his head, rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, and said in a faint voice: Actually, I know.

kindness?

Ruger raised his eyebrows.

In the distance, a half-dead warg moved its body, tentatively trying to get out of there, but after a few steps into the pool, it was dragged in by the monster that didn't know what it was. There were a few bubbles, and then there was no movement.

Suo Deluoer watched this scene with a blank face, and whispered: I...actually, I always knew what was in the water.

Luge opened his mouth slightly, his expression showing a little surprise.

It was Rody who told me, and he also told me the consequences of taking a wrong step. As if saying these words could release the pressure he had been accumulating in his heart, Soderol took a deep breath at this time , When running with you, I was actually more nervous than any of you...

I've never been so nervous in my life. I understand. If I make a wrong move, all of us may die.

Lu Ge was speechless, and didn't even know what to say for a while.

Rody didn't tell you because he understands that you just need to follow along. This is not difficult to do. I have emphasized it three or four times. Anyone can easily do it, but if you tell the truth, it will be easy to go wrong. Soderol closed his eyes, as if trying to get himself out of a nightmare, All the pressure is actually on my side. He knows what it means, but he still does it.

Roddy he.

He's training me. Suo Deluoer rubbed the center of his brows, and after the tense nerves slowly relaxed, he spoke weakly, I came to Nolan Village to find him just to learn. Why can he Killing the orc so easily? I think that if he can do it, I can definitely do it. But now, I begin to understand where the gap between myself and him lies.

Although it was just a small talk, Ruge knew very well that Soderol's gains in this battle may be more than the sum of his years as a lieutenant and second lieutenant. Thinking of this, he actually has a little curiosity in his heart Yes, he should ask: Where?

A strong heart. Soderol pointed to his chest, Only with a strong heart can we deal with these things calmly. In the past, when we fought, many of us swarmed up, and when something happened, we shirked responsibility from each other. But those who survived can always Find a reason to excuse yourself. If you succeed, the credit seems to be your own; if you fail, the mistakes are all others.”

It's always like a coward to think like that.

But just now, I realized how terrible the feeling of being unable to escape is—you have to be responsible for your own failure, there is no retreat, no room for compromise, and I can only bite the bullet and grit my teeth.

The corner of Suo Deluoer's mouth twitched, and his smile was a little weak, but he was also very satisfied: If you survive like this, you succeed, and your self-confidence is stronger than ever. If you fail, there is no other nonsense.

Listening to these words, Luge nodded half-understood, but he couldn't fully understand what kind of feeling it was, but he was sure that the state of mental tension was not something that people could easily bear. .

Speaking of which, what is Rody's plan to go there now?

I don't know. He said to set up traps and took all the dried meat left in the team. Perhaps, he wanted to lure the things in the water out to deal with those orcs?

Then why did he go alone?

I also asked, and he told me - that place. Only he can survive.

Speaking of this, the two frowned together, but they couldn't be completely relieved.

So many plans have been successful, and his side... must be sure. Ruger said to himself.

Suo Deluoer didn't make a sound, although they were a little worried, but at this moment, the awe of Rody in the hearts of the two of them—and even all members of the entire team seemed to have been deeply rooted.

.....

Time went back to a few minutes ago.

Since he decided to counterattack the Cossack village in the morning, Rody has already decided on his current strategy—or, in other words, this alternate plan is fundamentally the last retreat he left for himself and the entire team .

Running long distances to the Orc Empire for leveling sounds unreasonable, but the reason why Rody didn't choose to hunt rabbits and wolves on the grasslands on the border to gain experience like an ordinary player is because he knows very well that risks always coexist with opportunities. This sentence.

If you upgrade step by step, Rody once calculated that if you kill rabbits or do the tasks provided by those villages, if you want to upgrade to level ten, he probably needs to keep killing until November-this is according to what he originally planned. Judgments made by the game time experienced. Now he doesn't have time to waste it like this, so in the rainy season in mid-August, he made this bold plan, and took the Dead Swamp, a copy deep in the Nehemia prairie, as an important core of the whole plan.

Speaking of it, Death Swamp is an extremely special existence in the cracked soil.

This dungeon will only appear during the rainy season in summer, and once the rainy season is over, the dungeon will disappear—in the second year after the service was opened, this dungeon was discovered by orc players, and news spread to humans in the same year, so Many players started to open up wasteland as usual, but the result was quite miserable - not to mention the boss, they didn't even see the monsters in the dungeon itself, and the players died over and over again.

There was a lot of scolding and condemnation on the forum, but at that time, Rody didn't care much about these things. What he had to do every day was just browse the news and strategies, and then continue to challenge the title of Master Leatherworker.

At that time, he was still a life player, and he had already earned tens of thousands of monthly salary with his own hands. He had just stand out from those life players, and he still had confidence, but what he thought There are not many things. To put it simply, Roddy at that time was like a machine, working day and night to make a living, striving to achieve the highest efficiency in everything he did.

The words technical nerd may only bring admiration and envy to others, but for Roddy himself, life seems extremely boring.

But two years later, when he abandoned all of this and started to turn to the road of PVP, Death Swamp happened to be the first practice place for his ranger road - at that time, it had been about four years since the server opened , this dungeon has been explored thoroughly, so Rody quickly became familiar with it, and began to use it to kill countless batches of NPCs that refreshed on the border of the orc kingdom, and started a crazy leveling plan.

What kind of puddles have water monsters, what kind of puddles can walk, what to do when facing wolf cavalry, what to do when facing ordinary orcs, what to do when facing situations that cannot be handled - in memory, These things can be regarded as the deep imprint left by him when he first came into contact with words such as killing and war, and he will never forget them.

So at this time, when the roar of the wolf cavalry came from behind, Rody could only feel that the familiar images in his mind overlapped with his eyes in an instant.

Looking up in front of him, Rody, who has always been in charge of the rhythm of this battle, is the same as what Soderol did before. He pulled the rein, tilted his body and started to turn, and the horse galloped along the edge of the puddle time and time again. , while the rearward bloodlust slowed down after the end of the bloodthirsty technique, but under the witchcraft cast by Sarota again, the speed was always maintained at the level of chasing Roddy in the field of vision-sometimes Roddy could even He heard commands like run along the track shouted by Sarota behind him.

After glancing at him, the corner of Roddy's mouth raised a strange arc. However, this fleeting expression was not captured by Sarota. At this time, he was trying to order the team to move forward along the trace that Rody walked. Although the distance was widening, Sarota obviously did not intend to give up the chase. .

He didn't believe that this human being could always make no mistakes in this dangerous swamp.
