Volume 4: The Swan Song (Remastered) Chapter 48: An Unexpected Sneak Attack

Normangar Province, Kingdom of Ashwood.

It is a muddy path used by hunters to cross the mountains, no more than a few meters wide, and it is difficult to walk, even after the rain. And crossing this mountain range is even entering the territory of the Virgil Kingdom, for the Ashwood Kingdom, the militarily weak Virgil Kingdom really has no need to be guarded, so it does not take this path to heart at all. A small pass was created in a col a few kilometres away to prevent traders from smuggling across the border by taking advantage of the relatively gentle terrain of the col.

Now, due to Maltan, the pass was temporarily transferred to the Kingdom of Virgil by the Kingdom of Ashwood, and the pass was expanded in size, with several watchtowers and arrow towers being built to prevent Maltan's men from sending more undead to the kingdom through this route. To this end, the Kingdom of Virgil transferred 1,000 men from the already overstretched kingdom army, plus 200 mercenaries, to station in this pass.

In charge of leading the garrison of this pass was the veteran general Nord, who was over 80 years old. Due to his lack of talent, Nord, who is a knight, was able to enter the realm of heroes at the age of sixty, and although his lifespan has increased to 150 years old, the old knight Nord's face still looks like an old grandfather. But this is no problem for Nord, who is loyal to the royal family of Virgil, whose only wish now is to solve his king's problems and cut off the damned lich's head with his own hands to protect the kingdom of Virgil.

It's a pity that, considering his age and strength, he couldn't participate in the battle to attack Castle Radley, so he simply asked for his life to come to this pass, because on the other side of the pass, there is an army of nearly 50,000 undead, led by a seventh-order ghost, who has been operating on the border of the Ashwood Kingdom, collecting corpses for Maltan and expanding the army.

Nord's mission is to keep this undead army out of the pass, and not let a single undead enter the territory of the Virgil Kingdom, because at this time the Virgil Kingdom has no extra soldiers to use to exterminate this undead army.

In fact, as Martan's men wreaked havoc throughout the Kingdom of Virgil, Mantein Virgil, with the support of Dalaran, strengthened his determination to destroy Martan as soon as possible, and in addition to sending the kingdom's troops to destroy the undead, he also ordered the provinces to immediately begin to recruit soldiers and expand the garrisons of various towns, so that the entire 80,000 kingdom troops could be concentrated outside the castle of Radley, and he himself took a full 20,000 Kingdom guards to defend the capital. Gathering 100,000 men, they began to attack the castle of Radre.

In order to prevent an undead army from joining the battlefield in the course of this battle, Mantel sent many generals and spent money to hire nearly 20,000 mercenaries to be sent to various passes around Castle Radre, so as to keep Maltan and his elite in a cage for the success of the battle.

The old knight Nord, who understood this, although he felt a little regretful that he could not participate in this glorious battle, still did his best to fulfill the request of His Majesty Mantel. Not only did dozens of patrols patrol the pass day and night to prevent the undead from raiding, but they also recruited a group of players to watch the path several kilometers away.

And for those players who have been drafted by Nord, this old knight, who is already in his seventies and eighties, seems to be a little too nervous.

"Ghosts will walk this way, no, even ghosts will not take this road! Why don't you go to Hillsbrad Hills? A human warrior player casually moved along the path beneath his feet, grumbling to his companions. A few days ago, it had rained heavily, and the pass was quickly dry because of the lack of soil and rocks, but it was still a muddy field, almost like stepping on a puddle of cotton, and he had fallen several times because of the slippery nature along the way, and his equipment was covered with mud.

The person in charge of listening to his complaints is a human archer player, who is the best candidate to serve as a scout and lookout post due to the needs of their profession, because they basically have the academic and skill skills to increase their vision, and most of the time, these players who have taken up the archer class are happy to play these roles.

But for this player, the scout mission was clearly very disgusting to him.

Pulling her boots out of a mud puddle on the ground, Carmen glanced at her teammates and muttered, "What idiot said that the werewolves in Nanhai Town were too powerful to kill them." ”

"But I didn't expect to be assigned to this, this, damn, it's not even a garbage dump here! The country roads of Siberia are much better than this mud pit! Warrior Ollie stomped hard on the ground, splashing up a cloud of mud, "What's worse is that the sun hasn't come out for a few days, this damn muddy road can't be done at all, and that NPC knows to call us players!" ”

"On this point, I couldn't agree more!" Carmen pulled the longbow on his back, he was born into a family of hunters, he learned to use a bow and arrows from a young age, when he got the ring and entered the world of Ntagre, he fell in love with the archer profession at a glance, "But that guy is the commander here, and he is a hero, what can we do?" Disobedience will deduct a lot of merit, and I can count on earning a little more, making up a thousand merit points for a better bow. ”

"I really envy those women, I heard that the Holy City has begun to uniformly change their uniforms and equipment?" Ollie pulled out the weapon on his back and slashed it into the air a few times, "That's a piece of green excellent equipment, it makes people drool just thinking about it." ”

Carmen glanced at Ollie with disdain: "You're still dead to that heart, the Angel's Covenant only accepts female players, unless you go for a sex reassignment operation." ”

With the end of the offensive and defensive battle of Nanhai Town, Raphael accumulated strength and stockpiled supplies, and at the same time, with the support of Lana and others, began to establish a group of their own, named the Angel's Covenant. According to Yu Bin's suggestion, the Angel's Covenant will take the Holy City as the core station, and the guild members will only recruit female players, and they will have high requirements for occupation, technology, and character.

The reason why Yu Bin asked Raphael to give the Angel Covenant such a strange rule was because he wanted to make the Angel Covenant the largest guild in the entire human race, and even in the entire Order-abiding camp. And if a guild wants to become bigger and stronger, it must make itself and other guilds have a clear distinction between high and low, otherwise if everyone is the same, how to attract those masters to join.

The biggest advantage of the Angel's Covenant is Raphael, as Raphael's ability continues to show, the high-level of the expeditionary force led by Tadral and Tibest now have no dissatisfaction with this girl, thinking that she is worthy of being favored by the Holy Light, and the Holy See of Light has also made up its mind to vigorously support Raphael, it can be said that as long as Raphael does not lose his current identity for a day, the Angel's Covenant is equivalent to an official institution subordinate to the Holy See of Light, and its various policies and powers far exceed those ordinary guilds.

But this alone is not enough, in addition to running a guild, in addition to having a strong backstage, there must also be sufficient funds and talents, both of which Yu Bin can't get in a short time, and it is inconvenient for him to come forward, so he asked Raphael to absorb Lana and several princesses into the guild, so that the Angel Covenant can not only get the support of the Holy See of Light, but also obtain a lot of funds and talents from those human kingdoms through Lana's identity.

With this in mind, the guild's framework is now in place, and the next thing to consider is how to increase its attractiveness.

So, what is the biggest attraction for players, especially those in the Order camp? Gold? Equip? Good team?

No! It's a beautiful woman!!

You know, those who dare to fight hard in the world of Entagri are young people in their prime, even if those fifty or sixty-year-old people in the real world have this heart, I'm afraid they don't have this ability, basic attributes, reaction ability, and learning speed are not as good as those young people, so most of these old people will choose to become life players, earn gold coins with various life skills, and follow those big teams in their spare time, be bosses, push a small copy and so on.

And for young people, beauty is the No. 1 killer of Tianzi. Not to mention the elf girl's beauty like a fairy, even if she is a human female player, as long as she is coquettish and flattering, at least eight out of ten livestock will have cerebral congestion, and then it is the same as playing chicken blood, let the boss scare the boss, let the push copy push the copy, it is simply more diligent than the cattle that plough the land.

And if these beauties still have skills, character, and occupation, they are a top Bai Fumei, not to mention poor dicks, even if they are rich and handsome, they will immediately surrender.

Besides, Raphael also has a big killer, with her status, as long as she opens her mouth, I'm afraid that those priests and Knight of Light players who have joined the Holy See of Light will have to listen to her. Hey, what are these two professions? It's a tank, it's a nurse, it's a fighter who can fight and add blood, and it also has its own strong light background attributes. Yu Bin has only heard that there is a team that doesn't want a mage, a thief, or a warrior, and he has never heard of a team that doesn't want a tank or a nurse, otherwise do you want to go down?

The Angel's Covenant is made up of female players, a power group that protects the interests of female players, supplemented by several small and medium-sized guilds affiliated with the Angel's Covenant, and includes ordinary players who are willing to obey the command, and a super union with core competitiveness, great prospects, and deep background is naturally established.

"Aren't there any affiliated groups? Angel blades, angel wings, angel shields or something! ”

"Do you think you have what it takes to pass those tests?" For this companion who has little ability, but is always complaining, Carmen has long given up treatment.

"I don't have the ability to pass those tests, but why don't you go? Carmen, don't fool me with that, you're so much better than me! After a few slashes, Orikorn retracted his weapon from his back in frustration.

"I just don't like following a bunch of women, and I'm not a nymphomaniac." As a true Russian, Carmen said that if he wanted to be a Russian old man to be commanded by a group of women, it would be better to kill him. "But Miss Raphael is a good man, really a good man! If it weren't for the fact that she was a woman, I would have happily served her. ”

"Haha, sullen Carmen, it turns out that you are also a fan of Miss Raphael! I thought you only liked bows and hunting! As if amused by Carmen's words, Ollie suddenly leaned over and put his arm around Carmen's shoulder, "Cheers to friendship!" ”

"There's no alcohol here, shut your stinking mouth, it's too close!" Carmen pushed Ollie away in disgust and continued to trek down the muddy road, "There are still two kilometers to go, we can rest for an hour when we get there, damn it, I need to clean up my shoes, they are full of mud!" ”

"Two kilometers, damn it, I ......," Ollie said halfway through and stopped where he was, motionless.

"Ollie? Ollie! Damn, what's wrong with you? Carmen was about to push the grumbling companion when she noticed a streak of blood from Ollie's throat, and the next moment, blood rushed out of the cut throat like a fountain.

Before Carmen could react to what had happened, a cold light emerged from the air and slashed silently towards Carmen's neck.

But as a hunter who has been hunting all year round, Carmen's body reacted faster than his mind, and a graceless backward rollover allowed Carmen to escape.

"Huh?" A low voice came from the void, and it seemed that the attacker did not expect that this archer, who did not even have a set of basic equipment on his body, would be able to dodge his own sneak attack, although he himself did not pay much attention to this sneak attack.

The icy muddy water on the ground finally cleared Carmen's mind, and he finally realized that he had been attacked by a sneak attack.

The magic bullet used to warn is on the belt, and you can reach it by throwing it into the sky, and the magic fireworks that explode will warn other players on patrol.

Carmen's fingers were only a few centimeters away from the warning magic bullet on his belt.

But it's a distance that can never be shortened.

Another dagger appeared from an uncanny angle, enlarged in Carmen's gaze, then pierced deep into his eye, and then twisted around his eye socket. Intense pain interrupted his movements, and the next moment, blindness and vertigo made him completely incapable of resisting.

Before the time of vertigo passed, Carmen turned into a corpse in a daze, and had no choice but to return to the cemetery to resurrect.
