Chapter 185: Life is like a play
In order to wipe out the Ghost Woman War Band, the elite of the "Harvest Ring" was exhausted, a total of seventy-seven Green Druids participated in this battle, the worst strength was five levels, and there were as many as twelve Great Druids above the tenth level. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Druid is a transcendent class with a relatively balanced balance in all aspects, and its fighting style is rich and varied, which is an eye-opener for Roland and others, who witnessed the battle of the Druid Group for the first time in their lives.
There are those who directly bombard the ghost woman with powerful lethal spells such as lightning summoning, flame strike, and fire; There are those who are good at restricting the enemy with entanglement, trapping, thorny and other field control spells; There are natural allies such as jackals, tigers, leopards, crocodiles, hawks, falcons, etc., and lead animal companions to form groups to beat opponents; There are also martial arts druids who advocate violence more, adding buffs such as the strength of the ox, the grace of the cat, and the patience of the bear, and rushing up with a scythe to slash wildly.
The most distinctive are those druids who are proficient in "wild transformation", and can become bears, wolves, crocodiles, treants, killer vines, and water, fire, earth and wind at will...... Conjure up all the weird creatures you can't think of, like a safari park.
Roland silently watched everything that was happening in front of him, and his heart was full of thoughts.
Most of the druids belong to the absolutely neutral camp that advocates balance and does not care about good or evil, but the Green Field Druids in the Far East are different, they themselves are from a peasant family in the Far East, they are well aware of the people's suffering, they have always been oppressed by the Holy Light Church and the harsh natural environment, and they have a strong spirit of resistance and a strong sense of justice. Coupled with the purpose of the Green Druids to go deep into the countryside and develop agricultural production, Roland cannot but think of the glorious years in the history of the former motherland, and deeply feel the deep potential of such an organization as the "Harvest Ring" in the Far East.
Lyudmila was in a different mood.
She couldn't analyze the current situation from a macro perspective like Roland, and when she saw Tonya casting a spell calling for the Green Druids to enter, she instinctively realized that she was being taken advantage of - the situation in front of her was a trap carefully set by the Harvest Ring!
Looking back, it is not difficult to find that in the overall plan of the "Harvest Ring" ambush the Ghost Woman War Regiment, the most important chess piece is Tonya.
She is the adopted daughter of Valentina, the rising star of the Green Druid, and also related to Agnes, the leader of the Ghost Woman Warband, with this dual identity, she has become the protagonist on the stage of the game between the two sides, playing the role of "bait".
It turned out that this seemingly simple "replacement" had excellent acting skills, not only successfully deceived Agnes, but even outsiders were used by them and became a knife used by Tonya to deal with Agnes.
The more Lyudmila thought about it, the more angry she became, grabbed Tonya's arm, and asked sharply, "What the hell is going on?" You owe us an explanation! ”
Now Tonya has nothing to hide, and apologizes to Lyudmila with a guilty face: "I'm sorry, but I'm actually an undercover agent sent by the 'Harvest Ring' to the Ghost Woman War Band. ”
Lyudmila gritted her teeth and asked her angrily: "Why didn't you say these things earlier!" ”
"I'm sorry, I'm a member of the organization, I have to abide by the organizational discipline, and I can't reveal a word to the outside world without the permission of Ms. Valentina."
Valgentina...... I thought it was a good person, it seems that I was too naïve. Lyudmila sneered, and then asked her: "According to you, the Harvest Ring has been watching over us, and Valentina knows everything that is happening here?" ”
Tonya nodded with difficulty: "I carry a 'Secret Eye' with me, Teacher Valentina and the elders can observe everything I see through the Secret Eye, and they know the situation in the swamp well, so they can seize the opportunity and lure the Ghost Woman War Group out to kill them all." ”
"Was this plan already in place, or did we start executing it after we showed up?" Veronica couldn't help but interject. Parnia's half-vampire family rarely interacted with the druids, and she was shocked by the rapid development of the seemingly low-key cult of the "Harvest Ring" in the Far East, the tightness of its organization, and the decisiveness of its action.
"It was indeed arranged, otherwise how would I have known that Agnes was my mother, and how could I have come to this remote farmstead to live in seclusion? Teacher Valentina has been planning to get rid of the ghost women who are harming this area for many years, but because the ghost women are too cunning, they have not been able to find a chance to do so, until I appear......" Tonya lowered her head and sighed faintly.
"So you're just coming to Valley Village to look for relatives, and your real purpose is to be an outpost and an undercover agent for the Harvest Ring?" Lyudmila asked.
Tonya nodded bitterly: "The original plan was that my bloodline could deceive the trust of the ghost women and accept me into joining the ghost woman war group. ”
"The ghost woman will not trust a human, even if it is a half-blood, you should understand what price you have to pay."
"Of course I understand, I am ready to transform into a ghost woman, and it is worth the sacrifice to fight evil...... However, your presence has changed plans so that I don't have to go that far, so I must thank you. ”
Lyudmila shook her head and sneered: "Come on, I'm not ungrateful for the liar's thanks." ”
Tonya bit her lip and was speechless, tears oozing from the corners of her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Lyudmila couldn't help but soften, and was about to ease the atmosphere, Veronica pulled her and said angrily: "You still don't think it's enough?" The tears of a crocodile do not deserve sympathy. ”
Bloom lifted his horn helmet and said a little unbearably, "Hey, there's no need to be so serious, right?" Tonya can't be the master of this kind of thing, at least she didn't mean to deceive us, why hurt her friends' feelings because of this little thing. ”
Nikita smiled faintly: "I don't care, anyway, I didn't plan to have a heart-to-heart relationship with some people from the beginning, whether it was intentional or coincidental, we finally helped the Green Druid solve a big enemy, there is no reason in the world to contribute in vain, how to calculate this account?" ”
Roland secretly praised her in his heart, or our mage lady was smart and clever, and immediately grasped the key point and said what he wanted to say for him.
"Nikita is right, I'll go to Lady Valentina for a review!"
Contrary to Lyudmila's indignation, he is now in a very good mood, and the trace of displeasure on his face is also faked, which is nothing more than a joke, emphasizing that he is also a victim of being kept in the dark.
In fact, as early as the day Valentina warned him through Lyudmila, he was secretly wondering how the Harvest Ring planned to deal with the Ghost Woman Warband, and later met Tonya and learned about the rumors of Agnes and Tonya in the Valley Village, and he gradually cleared his mind and suspected that all this was not a coincidence.
Later, Tonya's unusual behavior during sleepwalking night made him feel even more suspicious, so when Tonya decided to find Agnes to settle the grievance, everyone was enthusiastic and wanted to go together, but he did not express his position easily, and tested Tonya's true thoughts through some clever words, and finally came to the conclusion that it was basically in line with his prediction - Tonya was a nail specially sent by the Harvest Ring to the valley village and buried in the outer perimeter of the Ghost Woman Warband.
Roland even suspects that Tonya is actually awake when she sleepwalks, and that Valentina has a way to save her protégé from being harassed by Agnes, and even if Tonya does become a ghost woman, the legendary Grand Druid has a way to restore her to her original form, which gives Tonya more room to perform - if necessary, she might as well break into the enemy as a ghost woman.
However, it was Roland's unexpected arrival that disrupted Valentina's original plans.
Their adventurous team had no idea how deep the water was in the Misty Swamp. Their strength does not pose a direct threat to the Harvest Ring or the Ghost Woman Warband, but when it comes to the critical moment of conflict between the two sides, this X-factor may affect the overall situation.
Therefore, Valentina did not dare to despise these spoilers, and after persuading them to no avail, she simply changed her strategy and used them to assist Tonya in completing the task of luring the enemy.
Perhaps even Vallentina herself did not expect this group of young men to be able to kill Agnes, and when Agnes summoned the Ghost Woman Warband as she was dying, all plans were back on track - Tonya overturned the table, and the Green Druids who had been in ambush swarmed in, and the Ghost Woman Warband ushered in the end.
From the perspective of benefiting the country and the people, Roland is actually happy to help the "Harvest Ring" deal with the Ghost Woman War Group, he still has the most basic concept of right and wrong, good and evil, and even he doesn't mind the other party hiding the truth, after all, the matter is big, and it will affect the whole body, and Valentina deigns to warn in advance that it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous.
But it's okay to think about these thoughts in his head, and he doesn't intend to express himself in public - if you don't put yourself in the position of being wronged, how can you expect others to feel guilty and owe you a favor?
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. In terms of the "Warrior of Destiny" alone, Roland's highest level is "flickering skills" such as acting (speech), negotiation, intimidation, bluffing, and observing words and feelings, so how can you blame Tonya for her touching acting skills.
Lyudmila and the others really don't understand the cause and effect, and are sincerely angry and disappointed by Tonya's duplicitous style, while he is pretending to be confused and has been looking for an opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
So when Tonya had tears in her eyes, repeatedly bowed guilty and apologized to him, and insisted that "I am all to blame for this matter, please don't be angry with Teacher Valentina", Lyudmila couldn't help but be moved and showed that she forgave her, but Roland didn't buy it at all and interrupted her explanation with a wave of his hand.
"This pot can't be carried by you, there is a debtor and a debtor, Valentina can't take advantage of us in vain! Look at those chicken feet huts, full of ill-gotten gains! Instead of falling into the hands of you hypocritical and cunning druids, it is better for Lao Tzu to collect and use it as military expenses, and without further ado, hurry up and follow me to repair the knife and grab the money! ”
"I love to hear that!" Bloom laughed, grabbed his hammer and rushed out.
"Why not fight evil and make some extra money at the same time?"
Veronica snickered and pulled on her face scarf, used ninjutsu to hide her figure, sneaked up behind a green ghost woman, and while she was tired of fending off the druid's transformed white bear, she directly took it down with a series of backstabs, and quickly escaped into the shadows to find another assassination target.
Both Lyudmila and Nikita also turned and walked towards the battlefield, looking for a target.
Roland drank a bottle of the Water Walking Potion and strode towards the blood-stained swamp with Durandal on his shoulder.
Tonya hesitated, biting her lip and silently following his steps.
