Chapter 002: Mission

When it was time for lunch, he heard a whistle blowing from below the outpost, Sauron poked his head out, and then gave a calm glance before the fifth-section apprentice beside him put the knife back into the scabbard on his waist and lowered the rope ladder. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

So far, Zoro was not used to it, and he seemed to be a little nervous with this seemingly experienced companion, especially after the fog drifted in the jungle, and he always seemed to think that someone would jump out and shout or attack this place.

"Huh? How haven't I seen you. ”

"Sir, I'm the new apprentice."

The apprentice of the fifth stage glanced at the person who delivered the meal, and after some careful identification, he took the basket from his hand. Each apprentice carried a castle-forged dagger with him, so it was easy for the fifth-rank apprentice to believe it.

The basket was a few fatty sausages and two smoked fish, each wrapped in a small bundle.

"I'm a new apprenticeship and this is my first time on a mission." Sauron didn't understand why he was repeating what he had just said, and caught his eyes not just glancing, though he only raised his eyebrows slightly and moved his lips.

"Got it, hurry up and get out, since you have come to the green shade, don't always act like a nerd, be vigilant on the way back, otherwise it will be easy to die if you are not careful." The fifth-section apprentice sent the apprentice away and quickly put away the rope ladder below. Sauron had no appetite, and he thought about things wildly, his lips closed in the corner trying to brew a little sleep.

"I've been apprenticed to the present day, and I think I'm just as confused as he was. But I'm a lucky guy who always avoids danger and death. The fifth-stage apprentice, who was about 16 years old, sighed and leaned back, "At that time, I was like this group of cicada-winged people below, look, what kind and weak thin creatures......"

The fifth-stage apprentice kept untying the bundle of meat and stuffing it into his mouth, and at this point his voice suddenly stopped.

When Zoro glanced up, his face flushed as if he had choked on food.

"Toxic."

With a brief remark, his entire face was exaggeratedly distorted by the poison, and the blood from his mouth quickly filled the placket of his clothes.

The other party's entire face turned blue as a result, and his chest began to rise and fall violently.

Zoro didn't care about anything else, he hurriedly stood up and loosened his collar and trouser belt, and told him to lie down on his back, thinking that he would be able to breathe unhindered. But when he found that his heart had stopped beating, Sauron didn't give up at all, and pressed down his chest and heart with both hands.

However, this fifth-stage apprentice, who had only known him for half a day and didn't know his name, stopped breathing in less than two minutes, and his limbs gradually became cold.

If he had been more vigilant when he noticed the anomaly just now, he might not have died.

Hearing the sound of chaotic footsteps below the outpost, Sauron couldn't care less about self-blame, he cursed "bastard", and then decisively picked up the crossbow and fired an arrow through the lookout to the bottom.

The first arrow misses. Sauron immediately put the arrow in the slot of the 'arm'.

This group of humans who broke into the Cicada-winged tribe, in addition to swords and weapons, generally held nets and iron locks in their hands, and they looked like a group of slave thieves.

The more nervous you are, the more important it is to stay calm and clear-headed.

Adjusted his breathing, adjusting the angle and timing of the crossbow fire according to the target's movement speed and distance. In Sauron's view, the crossbow is actually a strengthened bow and arrow, which can be aimed at the next position of the target trajectory, as long as it can capture the timing of the shot, its hit rate is higher than that of the bow, although it is closer than the range of the bow, but the arrow is easy to fall when flying in the air, so it is more lethal than the bow at close range.

Phew-

Zoro was highly focused, and after aiming through the 'Lookout Mountain', he pulled the 'hanging knife' to shrink the 'teeth' and dehook the strings, and used the kinetic energy formed by the rapid rebound of the open bowstring to shoot the arrow smeared with lizard poison at high speed, and so on.

As long as you occupy a favorable launch platform, a poisonous arrow, you can easily kill a low-level black iron professional. If it is a surprise attack, even a professional above the fifth level of Black Iron will be caught off guard.

As Sauron became more and more proficient, except for only two arrows missed, the targets below the outpost fell one after another, and most of them wailed as they fell to the ground.

Is this what it feels like to kill with your own hands? That's it.

Despite this thought, the fall of each of the people below made Zoro uncalm his emotions swell with hot air currents that were about to swell.

"Damn, there's a sentry up there. Whoever goes up to settle him, and makes him pay the debt with blood. "Someone was yelling from below.

"It's going to be hard. We're going to use a shield now! Especially in such a thorny jungle with only one way out, there is nothing more dangerous than encountering a crossbowman in a tree! ”

"Oh no! - He killed Quincy, I'm going to set him on fire. ”

Suddenly, a fire erupted, and an experienced veteran shouted, "Don't set fire to idiots, that will attract the patrols of Castle Black." ”

"Didn't you say you'd already get rid of the sentinels? How can there be another one. ”

"Damn, he killed Quincy. Five of us have already been injured, except for those who went in to hunt, the rest of us quickly formed a shield wall. ”

“……”

If Sauron hadn't killed the man who had been calling for arson, the other party's reckless behavior would most likely put him in danger. Then, when Sauron took aim again through the crossbow's 'lookout', a shield wall had formed below. Almost all of them were trees dozens of feet high, and in the dim shade of the trees, there was only one crossbowman's angle, making it difficult to inflict effective damage on them.

When the people below raised a few bows and arrows, they aimed at Sauron's position with fierce eyes, and for a moment, Sauron's uneasy expression also increased. He tried to summon the Ringwraith, but felt that the location of the Witch King of Angmar was not nearby at all.

Through the gap, Zoro took a closer look at the surrounding vegetation and terrain. This is probably to the northwest of the Cicada Winged Tribe, and the terrain is fairly flat from the direction of entering the forest.

Whoa- Whoa-

Several feathered arrows flew in, the most thrilling of all, making Zoro feel a hot wind blowing in his face.

It's hard to keep firing arrows now, let alone magic that requires distance. Zoro couldn't control the panicked cries of the small tribe of Cicada Wingers. He used a first-class fireball to ignite the half-wet cow dung and sheep dung in the iron basin to warn the distance, and then raised the crossbow in his hand and aimed it at the bottom of the rope ladder to prevent anyone from climbing up.

At this time, if people take the opportunity to wipe it up, it is equivalent to a death sentence.

Knowing this, Zoro became more cautious, and his face was covered in sweat. Last night's mushroom soup didn't replenish much energy, and I didn't eat anything decent today. This made Zoro remember that it didn't matter whether he had an appetite or not, and that only by ensuring his physical strength could he ensure survival.

As time passed, the panic shouts of the Cicadawing tribe became quieter, and the group below was terrified when they saw black smoke rising from the outpost, causing them to hesitate to retreat.

The jungle became less hot and dry, and the remaining fog dissipated. Eventually, the patrol finally arrived at the small tribe. And after Zoro obtained the profession of Black Iron Rank 1 Archer, he also began to realize the thrill and cruelty of the 'mission'.
