Chapter XVIII. The commander reorganizes the refugee army, and the hero Han singles out the centaurs

"For three years, the people's heroes who died in the Centaur War and the Bandit War have been immortalized!"

"For two hundred and fifty years, the people's heroes who died in the race war and the royal revolution are immortal!"

"From this point on, in the year 786 B.C., since then, in order to oppose internal and external enemies, to defend the homeland and the freedom and happiness of the people, the people's heroes who died in all the struggles are immortalized!"

Cali erected a rudimentary monument next to the captive camp, where the two innocent inhabitants killed by the centaurs were buried, along with countless poor souls.

A flower represents nostalgia.

A sound of rest means moving forward.

We move forward in remembrance.

Cali read the eulogy slowly and heavily, and the crowd bowed their heads in silence. The calm and solemn memorial service ended, and everyone gathered around the campfire to discuss the next plan of action.

Li Yi has the highest position, and his previous outstanding performance has made him recognized by everyone, and he is naturally pushed to the center, and everyone is looking forward to his ideas.

Li Yi, who has never spoken in public, was a little nervous, and he imitated the people in film and television dramas coughing a few times, which opened up an embarrassing situation.

"First of all, thank you Miss Cali and the Seraphic Legion for showing up in time to save us. Personally, I'm curious, how did you know we're here? ”

Cali explained: "The town was besieged by centaurs, and I led them out of the siege. Benda ran directly to the Altar River Exchange for help, but he didn't expect to go in the wrong direction when he crossed the Heart Wood Forest. Just as we were finding the right direction, we heard something strange here, as if someone was shouting 'forward, forward, forward', and I thought it might be my own, so I ran over to take a look. ”

Unexpectedly, the shouting would cause such a chain reaction, Li Yi only felt that the god of luck had come to favor him again, and he had confidence in his heart.

With a cough, Li Yi said solemnly: "It seems that the gods are on our side, brothers and sisters, we are fearless and will win." Miss Cali, how many troops do we have now? ”

Cali replied in a mocking manner, "Report to the Commander, and I have sixteen of them. ”

"Our warriors have experienced a hundred battles, and all of them have the ability to fight one against two, and naturally they also have the ability to protect two with one." Li Yi tried to boost morale, "Now there are thirty-three civilians here, do you have the confidence to protect them?" ”

To be honest, there is definitely none, and no one knows what the situation will be next.

But the soldier absolutely did not say anything discouraged, and the sonorous answer was deafening.

Li Yi was satisfied with the high morale of the Seraphic soldiers, even though he knew that it was fake.

It is not impossible to seek truth from falsehood.

Li Yi remembered his experience in other games, when he was the fourth-ranked city lord on the server, relying on his unique luck to arm an ironclad elite to fight everywhere and be invincible, just when he defeated the third-ranked city lord and was about to reap the spoils, the first city lord of the server, Huang Que, was behind. On the one hand, there is a tired army that has just won and has not had time to rest, and on the other hand, there is an energetic tiger and wolf army that is ready to go, so it is conceivable that Li Yi was defeated and retreated. Seeing that the enemy was about to attack the city, Li Yi lied to his subordinates, saying that the second-ranked city lord had already brought troops to support. This lie lifted the spirits of the subordinates, and they worked hard to defend the city, relying on the advantages of the city's buildings to make the enemy unable to attack for a long time, and lost a lot of combat power. Li Yi's subordinates saw the prospect of counterattack, and they all paid full attention and exerted amazing subjective initiative. The battle to defend the city became smoother and smoother, and the tragedy of the original city was slowly reversed......

"Tsk, if the second-ranked city lord at that time really brought people to support, that battle would definitely be won, but it's a pity."

Li Yi thought that he was slaughtered in the end, and he still regretted it in his heart.

However, although he lost the battle to defend the city, he learned a truth through this incident: as long as the method is done properly, the pretended fighting spirit will become real and powerful.

The townsfolk received the Seraph's fiery promise, swept away the gloom and began to talk with joy.

Li Yi nodded secretly, it seemed that his method was used correctly.

"Good." Li Yi waved his hand to signal the townspeople to be quiet, "The main camp of the centaurs is not far away, and we are still at a disadvantage now, so we can't attack them directly. In my opinion, a roundabout approach is the best policy. When our reinforcements arrive, we will kill all the animals to take revenge. ”

Li Yi didn't know that there were reinforcements, he just repeated his old tricks and gave everyone a little hope.

Cali put her finger into the flames and asked, "So where are we going to go back in a roundabout?" The nearby human strongholds were burned to the ground, and the nearest major stronghold to us was the Altar River Stream outpost to the north, but it would take nearly six hours to walk. ”

The flames couldn't hurt Cali, Li Yi was surprised by the magic of elemental magic, but he said verbally: "Children don't play with fire, it's easy to wet the bed."

The crowd burst into laughter, and Cali blushed.

The atmosphere suddenly relaxed, which was unexpected.

Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Li Yi continued: "The outpost is too far away, and I don't know what kind of danger I will encounter along the way. I do know a good place to go, but I don't remember the way very well. Do any of you know how to get to Falling Rock Falls upstream? ”

"I, I know." A slightly muffled voice.

It was none other than the yellow-haired woman whose scalp had been ripped off by the centaur. The woman's wound had been scabbed over by Kali's water elemental magic.

The woman covered her head and did not dare to open her mouth easily, for fear of pulling the scalp and causing severe pain.

Li Yi hurriedly said, "You slow down, don't be in a hurry."

The woman dragged her mouth, stopped word by word, and said slowly: "My family lives near the Falling Rock Waterfall, and I am familiar with the way up the mountain."

Li Yi tentatively asked, "There is a laboratory on the mountain, do you know where it is?"

The woman's eyes lit up, and her speech suddenly became much faster: "My lord, how do you know that there is a laboratory on the mountain?" Have you seen Isara, and where is she? ”

"You are?"

"I'm Isara's mother, and my name is Alicia." The woman's tone became more and more urgent, completely ignoring the pain of the wound.

"I've seen your daughter, she should be safe now, don't worry." Li Yi first told a mother what he was most concerned about before he said, "If nothing else, she is in the laboratory now."

The woman knelt on the ground and kept chanting the name of the goddess Merando.

"Let's go up the mountain together," Li Yi picked up Alicia and wiped away her tears, "reunite." ”

A good thing appears in the bad thing, otherwise it will come, and the goodwill in everyone's hearts will overflow, and the night will not be so cold.

"Soldiers, a belt of two, a threesome, women and children first, move forward carefully." Li Yi gave the order.

The teams began to regroup.

Taking advantage of the time for everyone to regroup, Li Yi scavenged the trophies from the three centaurs: a machete, a spear, and a bottle of yellow potion.

The spear was relatively ordinary, without a name, and Li Yi threw it aside without looking at it much.

The machete has a strange shape, about the length of Lingbao's height, and there is a red and black samurai mask inlaid at the junction between the hilt and the blade. The blade is wavy, and the combination of the four waves has the feeling of a jagged edge. There are four iron rings on the back of the knife, and there are also blades under the iron rings. The blade on the back of the knife meets the edge of the blade at the tip of the blade, making the machete available as a two-handed sword again. Li Yi flipped the machete over and over several times, and finally found two small words [ghost blade] in the center of the eyebrows of the samurai mask.

To Li Yi's surprise, the third iron ring on the back of the ghost blade knife is also carved with a skill carving.

[Whirlwind Slash]

[Spin and dash in the direction of the target, slashing enemies along the way.] ]

[Number of impacts: 4.] ]

[Evasion: 0.75 seconds.] ]

[Combo Finisher: Whirlwind.] ]

Speaking of which, this is the second skill that Li Yi has learned.

The first is a skill that is a harpoon gun skill learned on a fishing boat: [Sailor Shooting].

The skill [Sailor Shooting] is engraved on the trigger of the harpoon gun, and it can be used infinitely as long as the trigger is always fastened.

Thinking of this, Li Yi tentatively pressed the skill carving, but nothing happened. It wasn't until now that he realized he didn't know how to cast the skill, but instead he found a piece of coarse cloth and twisted it into a long rope to tie the [Ghost Blade] to his back.

Putting away the machete, Li Yi took the yellow potion in his hand and looked at it, this potion was contained in a square bottle, and the words Centaur Slaughter Elixir were clearly engraved on the bottle.

"I didn't expect these centaurs to have this kind of thing in their collection." Kali's voice rang in Liyi's ears.

Li Yi shook the bottle and asked, "Do you know?" ”

Cali promised: "Yes." This potion has a toxic side effect on centaurs, weakening centaurs, and was invented by the great craftsman Salim, from whom I happened to learn how to make it. ”

Li Yi nodded and put the potion away.

His gaze refocused on the weak centaur, Li Yi raised the machete and lowered it again, then raised it and put it down.

Li Yi, who had killed countless people in other games, fought fiercely in his heart, knowing that these centaurs were monsters, but he couldn't do anything when he saw their faces like humans.

"Whew." Li Yi put the knife into the sheath.

Cali had been keeping an eye on Li Yi's behavior, and she was a little disappointed when Li Yi put away the knife.

Despite her young age, she has been fighting with centaurs for a year, and knows the sins of centaurs, and wants to get rid of all centaurs as soon as possible.

Just as Cali shook his head in disappointment, Li Yi suddenly exploded, and the machete roared.

Puff, puff, the three knives were as fast and accurate as if they were pierced into the balloon, and the centaur was deflated before he even had time to call.

Everyone was taken aback.

After the surprise, everyone cheered.

The thrill of revenge is incomparable.

Li Yi's eyes widened, looking at the crescent moon in the sky, unable to move for a long time.

The guilt of killing intelligent creatures tormented him.

can be tormented at the same time, but at the same time, it gives birth to a kind of stimulation of life and death.

The reorganization of the team was completed, and Li Yi was still depressed.

Kali patted him on the shoulder and comforted him inappropriately, "First time? Will get used to it later. ”

Li Yi smiled dismally and said, "Thank you." I've never killed anyone, isn't that incredible? ”

Cali shook his head and said, "I never heard your name when I was in the City of God. The first time I met you, I doubted your identity, but what you're doing now is enough to prove everything. It doesn't matter if you're a commander or not, what matters is that you have the qualities of a commander. Needless to say, let's go. ”

With that, Cali flicked his golden magnifying glass and Alicia at the head of the line, and Li Yi and an unknown strong man walked at the back.

The team of fifty men marched unhurriedly along the ridge to the southwest.

Before the team could reach the Heart Wood Forest, Li Yi heard the faint sound of neat hooves behind him.

Secretly screaming in his heart, Li Yi whispered to the big man beside him: "You notify the people in front of you to speed up."

The big man trotted to the group to notify the group, and the speed of the team's march more than doubled, but the sound of hooves behind him became clearer and clearer.

"The game is going to kill me."

Li Yi guessed the intention of the copy, he slowed down, took out his long knife and said to the big man beside him, "You follow the group in front." Don't look back. Don't mention me. Don't cause a riot. ”

Dahan didn't understand what was going on, but he obediently caught up with the three-person group in front.

"Since it's part of the game, there's definitely a way to survive."

Li Yi looked at the surrounding environment, this was already the edge of the Heart Wood Forest, the trees were not dense, but they were also in rows.

"At least the centaurs can't charge in this environment." Li Yi used a machete to test the strength of the trees, comforting himself.

The fleeing procession drifted away, and the hooves of centaurs rumbled.

The fleeing party was submerged in the dense heartwood forest, and twenty centaurs surrounded Li Yi.

"Come, you brutes." Li Yi held a machete in his hand and bared his teeth.

There was an eerie laugh from the centaur crowd, as if they didn't take Li Yi seriously.

Li Yi glanced at it quickly, and by the bright moonlight, he found a well-equipped and sturdy black and white centaur who should be the leader of this group of centaurs.

Li Yi faced the leader and shouted, "The black zebra with the white background and the white zebra with the black background have started fighting."

Enigma Operation.

Li Yi himself didn't know why he was telling such a bad joke.

The centaur leader let out a short strange scream, and Li Yi's expression immediately became nervous.

There seemed to be a sound of wind behind him, and he didn't dare to think about it, Li Yi immediately rolled forward, and a thorny arrow fell three inches in front of his head.

The arrows made from the thorn vine are extremely light and do not have much lethality, but the spikes of the thorn vine are full of high concentrations of paralyzing toxins, making them an excellent tool for sneak attacks.

The centaur leader looked impatient with a missed blow, and he took the longbow from his men next to him and pulled the string with his arrow. With a flash of coldness, he turned around and chased in the direction of the Heart Wood Forest, in his eyes, Li Yi was already a dead man. However, he had not been chasing for a few steps when the laughter of his companions came from behind him.

The arrow missed.

The centaur leader retreated urgently, his hooves spread, and he stepped back to his companion in two steps.

The mortal human carried the arrow triumphantly, as if mocking himself.

The face-damaged centaur leader roared and hissed, and his companion was silenced.

The centaur leader slowly walked in front of Li Yi, with his sword in hand and his shield raised.

The long sword pointed at Li Yi, and the centaur leader was arrogant and aggressive, his eyes full of disdain.

Li Yi's chest was open, life and death were put out of the way, and he would do it if he didn't accept it.

Seeing that Li Yi's face was fearless, the centaur leader was cautious at the moment and gradually restrained the enemy's intentions.

Click, click, click, the crowd of onlookers let out a rhythmic rhythm.

The centaur leader tapped his shield with his sword and stomped in response to the rhythm of his companions.

Li Yi moved, and in the restless sound of hooves, he raised his knife and slashed at the leader's lower abdomen.

The wind is sluggish and the water is cold.
