Chapter 8: Orc camp

If you want to do things, you can't do without making money. While frowning and thinking about how to make money in this backcountry, he carefully screens out the remaining wooden arrows for the right arrows--the reason why he took so many is to find out Thirty arrows with guaranteed accuracy come.
The straightness, winding (hardness), length, and center of gravity of each arrow are not the same. As for Rody, who has a small skill in archery, the realm of archery is naturally beyond the imagination of ordinary scouts. At this time, he Holding a file brought by Dick, fine-tuning the thirty arrows selected ...
After he grinded the slot at the tail of each arrow to a uniform width, he began to test all these arrows-this time, Roddy's shooting distance was changed to forty meters, and every time he shot an arrow, he moved Fixed for a while, it seemed to be thinking about it. Thirty arrows were shot in three groups. Every time he pulled the arrow back, Rody carved a faint trace on the tail of the arrows.
These actions made Dick standing aside curious, but finally resisted the intention of asking. After Roddy changed that piece of shattered leather armor to simple finger guards, the scout team in the distance had reached the moment of preparing to set off.
He returned the remaining arrows to Dick, and Roddy smiled, carrying his horn bow and those thirty arrows and headed for his horse. Captain Carter saw Roddy with a slightly different attitude than before. At this moment, he no longer puts on a captain's stand. The meaning of warmth in words is obvious, almost making people think that he and Roddy are scout captains. . But Roddy wasn't interested in being too polite with him, just listening carefully to Carter's subsequent assignments--
"It was very sudden yesterday when we were attacked by orcs. Although we ... won, we also paid a terrible price. Lieutenant Souding has reported the news to Hollier City. I think the number of scouts will definitely be within a few days. Expanded, but to ensure that the orcs have not penetrated the border, today ... we are going to conduct a large-scale investigation. "
Speaking of which, Carter's behavior has been regarded as "being faithful." Although he is not good at martial arts, his mind has not deviated from the right path-compared with those aristocrats who have sold their country to seek glory in Roddy's memory, he is much better. You must know that this country has been weak for a long time, the lords and nobles have their own policies, and the great land belongs to the king, even less than a quarter, and the rest are divided up by the lords, and the resulting internal fighting has almost never stopped.
The destruction of Karen's kingdom in Luo Di's memory was because this group of noble lords did not forget to stump each other when facing orc attacks, and eventually defeated them again and again, and ended up with 90% of the old-fashioned family.
Words came from Captain Carter one after another, and Roddy woke up from his memories, raised his head, and listened to the captain's serious explanation of the investigation direction: "Twenty kilometers west of Nolan Village, radiation detection, if it is confirmed that it is safe , After noon break continue to the west 10 kilometers. "
"Captain ... not there--"
A few players changed their faces and immediately asked for questions, but was interrupted by Carter.
"I know it's a neutral area, and you don't need to be responsible for any accidents. But now that these orcs can approach our borders, we must make them and bloody!"
Although Carter gave all scouts the impression that he was a junk and an old churros, the dead soldier still caused him a lot of shock. Although Carter is not strong, he can face the lord ’s honor such as the invasion of the border by orcs. However, he has a lot of blood in this cavity, and the eloquence said that Roddy was also a bit surprised. At least in his opinion, this guy is still in place to incite others.
As far as the royal family of the Karen Kingdom is concerned, these scouts are mostly insensible, but to the Duke of Roussillon, the soldiers adhere to the most basic principle of loyalty-this is where this era and Roddy used to be The most significant difference of the modern.
In a society similar to medieval Europe, there is no sovereignty between people. If it is the most applied, it is the "contract" principle and the like. Most people ... For example, all the villagers in Nolan Village are the "property" of the lord, the lord provides asylum, and the villagers provide taxes and soldiers during the war. At this time, Roddy's scout team was a private soldier loyal to the family of the Duke of Lucifer.
Although it is not easy to accept such a concept, Roddy has been used to this game for a long time. At this time, the members of the team heard Carter's words, and they were aroused by the blood in their bones ...
Hearing the slogans of these young soldiers, Rodi drew a bitter smile.
The Kingdom of Karen ... In the "Cracked Earth", it is regarded as a twilight old man in the human kingdom. It was established by the "Conqueror Conne" 70 years ago. At that time, the royal force was overbearing. The stinger was discouraged when he heard the wind. But since then, the country has gradually begun to decline, the power of the nobles has become greater and greater, and the power of the royal family has dramatically decreased. Many of the lords have dragged the country into the mire of civil strife, and the people at the bottom are in pain ...
It's just that the people of the Karen Kingdom always have a nature that is unconvinced in their bones. It is this nature that has allowed the kingdom to stand under the influence of the orcs and the undead. Even if it gradually falls into a weak state, it has always been very strong. Straighten the waist to face those stingy ...
Although Roddy is only a game, in the past seven years, he has also witnessed the indomitable and decisiveness shown by countless people when the big kingdom fell apart, he has also seen the sacrifice of countless people, and he has seen the changes in the situation, those like smoke The tireless efforts of the people for this country ...
Although it is only a game, because it is too realistic and three-dimensional, letting a spirit stand up in Roddy's mind forever, becoming one of the reasons he accepts scouting status without complaining at this moment.
"Did you understand the task?"
Capt. Carter's words brought Rody back to reality from chaotic thoughts. Like all the players around him, he immediately replied, "I see, Captain!"
"Let's go." Carter adjusted his military uniform and the equipment of the warhorse, and signaled the second team scout to set off immediately.
A seven-member reconnaissance team immediately rushed out of Nolan Village with a warhorse, and began the first large-scale long-range radiation investigation in nearly three years. After launching, Captain Carter did not forget to turn back to Roddy and said, " The deputy captain of the team is vacant and you are now in charge. If I die, you will lead the rest to move on. "
话 This remark was abrupt, but the next few players who participated in yesterday's battle were silently silent. Roddy held the reins hesitantly for a moment, then nodded, but for some reason, said something as if to himself:
"For Karen's glory."
This sentence made Captain Carter froze for a while, and then he felt a little sore in his eyes.
Peace has lasted too long, and people have long forgotten about the ferocious orcs on the other side of the grassland. Carter did the same, but it was only yesterday that he suddenly realized that the war never went away ... and he seems to have embarked on this road to defend the dignity of the country today.
Can I die? Perhaps.
Do you regret it? will not.
Put his hand on his chest, Captain Carter solemnly made a military salute, and quietly whispered, "For the glory of Karen!"
The trance marched forward in silence, and the sound of horseshoes echoed in the open grassland.
Uh ..........
At noon, the sun was shining.
In April, the temperature is warming. On the endless Nehemia prairie, gray hares can occasionally be seen bouncing and disappearing in caves full of ground. There are eagles circling in the sky. Fresh taste.
Everything seems quiet and stable, as the scout team has seen for ten years.
However, when the team stopped to drink and rest at noon, Rody, who always seemed a little silent, knew that the danger was coming.
Through his memory of the game and the memory of "Lodi", he has analyzed his position at this moment and the distance between the most marginal villages of the orc territory.
It's still two years before the "Cracked Earth" service is started. Most of the human players born in the Karen Kingdom in the future will be located in novice areas like Nolan Village. At that time, it was not unusual for the border to encounter orcs. Village There are various missions released in Hekou, allowing players to scramble to complete them. It now appears that although these green-skinned barbarians have not yet spread to that point, yesterday's fighting experience has proved that the other party has taken action.
At this point, the team had completed the 20-kilometer radiation inspection task. After the horses had rested, they would continue to investigate to the northwest of the border. In Roddy's memory, after two more grassland slopes in front, they should be established by orcs. One of the three frontier sentinel towers-when the next generation is in service, the three sentry towers here are the forefront supply stations for those orc scouts and skirmishers, and are considered by the Karen Kingdom "Tooth".
But these sentry towers ... do they exist now?
Judging from the orc attack by the scout team, Roddy can judge that these guys must have a stronghold nearby, but as to whether it is the sentry tower in the impression of later generations, further confirmation is needed.
He took a look at the weapon on his equipment bar—the short sword with an attack power of 1-2 can almost be ignored. This broken equipment is not worthy of attack power. He used the sub-professional Berserker all the time. At this time, heavy weapons are completely dismissive of this kind of "toy" that can't stand up.
装备 Equipment in Rift is important to players, but not the stronger the equipment, the stronger it is. A swordsman who crosses the threshold of level 30 and uses a short sword attacking 1-2 to cut and die. Players who do not cross this level are not dreams but facts. The higher the level, the higher the attributes are facts, but the more important thing is Skill bonuses and professional understanding.
The last generation of Roddy, as a ranger, crossed 30 levels and approached 60 levels indefinitely. This can already be seen that his talent is not a fiction.
At this moment, the damage of the angle bow 7-12 in the hand is already the leader in level 1 long-range equipment. With the additional damage +1 arrow, once he hits the head and the like, Roddy can be sure that his critical strike value can even cause Huge damage of more than 100-the damage in "Cracked Earth" fluctuates greatly. It is by no means an ordinary online game that cuts blood according to the value of the panel. A single arrow shoots through the head and the damage often floats up ten times. The plate armor slipped away, and sometimes even the blood did not buckle.
So from a certain point of view, the pure attribute of absolute power does not represent a person's strength or weakness, but more importantly is his own skill.
Thinking of the arrows that have been marked, Rodi, who had the title of "Shadow Hunter" at level 59, was at ease. UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com carefully thought about when to get the equipment in hand.
"Guys, get ready to go."
Captain Carter ended his break at an appropriate time. The scouts set up their weapons and turned on their horses. A group of seven people continued to march towards the west side of the orc kingdom border. At this moment, their faces were gradually condensed, because it was convenient for the orc kingdom and the Karen kingdom "Central buffer zone" at the border-here, nothing happens that involves the agreement that the Kingdom once signed.
Here, they have lost their last reliance on their hearts, and must also abandon the most naive illusions, because once encountering the orcs, the two sides must not have any hesitation in meeting soldiers and soldiers.
Luo Di held the reins in his hand, and stared at the distant slopes with a dazzling look. Captain Carter, who was leading the team, turned around and wanted to see something from the guy whose strength was suddenly so strong that he couldn't guess, but couldn't capture any information from Roddy's expression. However, as they waited for the low on the grassland, the exclamation of the scout at the front made him look blank!
营 There should be a camp on the unusually empty grassland in the distance!
A dozen or so animal skin tents are in a circle, and there are some dried bacon hanging outside the humble tent. In their center, there is also a crooked wooden tower ... Three pairs of figures are walking in it, and the body shape of the large waist and round body immediately makes these scouts stare.
All the scenes show that this camp is the outpost built by the orcs at the moment-Roddy looks at the scene in front of him, and the outpost with an area of ​​more than ten acres and a high sentry tower in memory is gradually getting worse with the shabby in front of him. The camps coincide ...
that's it!
