Chapter Seventy-Three: Into the Ground (I)
People looked at Roland in awe.
It wasn't a fear of Roland's power. A black iron may be enough to mix with a squad leader in other places, but it is far from enough to see in the city of wealth.
The only thing Roland cares about is his ability to foresee the future.
After all, there is no deeper fear than the unknown. And a prophet who can break through the fog of the unknown is enough to be feared by all.
Like the Governor of Karaal, or the Astrology Wizard of the White Tower.
"I've heard that the status of the Heavenly Prayer Guardian is equivalent to that of Su Ze's Viscount—"
The old man before rolled his eyes and said solemnly to the others, "It is necessary for us to show our loyalty to this lord. It is only by uniting that we can survive this natural disaster. ”
Hehe.
Roland sneered silently.
It's a good intention.
first picked up Roland, who was very weak, used Roland's prophet to gather others together, and befriended Roland with his own proposer, while also elevating his status in the eyes of others because of the difference in his relationship with Roland, and finally replaced Roland at an appropriate time.
The most unusual thing about the City of Fortune and the rest of the world is that the inhabitants of the City of Fortune are almost impossible to have a reverence for the nobility - if you play with a noble lord in the green fruit lock until the early hours of the morning, or blow through the bar on Ribblade Street with a knight lord until dawn, you will not retain much reverence for them.
The purest reverence comes from distance, and it is a truth that has been immutable through the ages. Once the distance is too close, this awe will inevitably be colored with other colors.
Therefore, if he had said this elsewhere, he might have really attracted many loyal subordinates to Roland, but in the lawless land of the City of Wealth, Roland's "status equivalent to nobility" might have attracted the envy and greed of others.
First auxiliary, then usurped. Multi-classic routines, simple and effective.
But the old man had clearly overlooked one thing—this was Broken Throat Avenue, General Fararuo's domain. Even if the staff of Broken Throat that he brought in with him to hide his identity were blown up, those who were blown up were killed, and those who were trapped were trapped...... However, is there only a wizard around the wizard, and no one else?
Let's say, an elite killer organization that is enough to hide under the noses of the spies of the various forces.
Thinking about it, you also know that the half-hung wizards under Marcus who can only crack thunder and slash thunder do not predict witchcraft, how can they accurately find the upper echelons of every dark crow hidden in the streets. The only one who can find a Ranger in the wild, and similarly, the only one who can find a Killer in a chaotic city is a more elite Killer.
More precisely, two highly trained silver-level swordsmans.
Roland had spoken out before prompting the fried. The bullet could have been around the corner - this incident immediately made these most trusted eyes of Marcus wary of Roland.
That's right, the Heavenly Prayer Guardian is indeed a bomb that allows Roland to find out before everyone else. Bullet possible. But there is another possibility, which is that Roland itself is planted to bomb. Bullet people
This incident is undoubtedly a crisis for Roland, but it is also an opportunity.
- An opportunity to completely take everyone's eyes off Roland.
After being induced by Roland, the people who had the minimum ability to climb the roofs and had the basic obedience ability occupied thirteen roofs, of which eight of the roofs were killed because the ground collapsed, and the remaining five roofs were carefully calculated by Roland - the people on each roof happened to be not as strong as Roland's here, but if the people on the two roofs were combined, they would definitely be able to beat Roland here.
Under this check, Roland's existence forced them to form an alliance, and because of mutual scruples, their alliance could not exceed the three parties in any way.
Whoever forms an alliance will attract the attention of the remaining swordsman. Coupled with the sword wizards here in Roland, there will always be at least one area where people are not monitored.
No matter how suspicious Roland may be before his decisive flaw is revealed, the swordsmen are still unsure that he is the one who planted the bomb. In other words, as long as Roland can prove his absolute innocence, then the Gold-tier powerhouses led by Marcus will turn their attention to the remaining area.
And now the situation is that as long as Roland is given a short time, he can complete his own arrangement.
First of all, the first step is to prove your innocence......
The thought in his heart was racing, and Roland did not respond to the old man immediately, but first looked at the expressions of the three silver-level powerhouses: only one of the three of them showed obvious disdain on his face, and another had some suspicion on his face. Only the youngest man nodded approvingly.
…… It seems that the nail is the last one.
Roland's eyes narrowed.
"As long as you are willing to believe me," Roland repeated, "as long as you obey my orders, I will lead you out of here." ”
"Of course, of course. Joseph Sr. obeyed orders and listened to commands. ”
The old man's face was serious, his voice was full of anger and did not tremble, but his tone was almost flattering.
"Now, then, I'm going to give you my first order—"
The corners of Roland's mouth curled slightly, and his tone changed without warning, and he immediately said in a solemn voice: "The three people of the Silver Rank and I stand at the front together, protecting the old man, the woman, and the child in the middle of the team!" ”
"Melee pros consciously stand on the periphery! Supervised by remote professionals! ”
"The stealth class professionals immediately entered the stealth, and those above the bronze rank were attached to the back of the team, and the black iron rank and the official rank came to the front, standing between the four of us!"
"The wizard immediately began to communicate the laws of detection, and gradually increased the connectivity to the wall of Aum in a three-stage step-down activation method."
"All the armor professions have turned on the defensive posture, and those with keen perception have lifted my spirit!"
"Rangers put away their crossbows, take out your melee weapons, and take on an attack stance!"
"No one is allowed to leave the team without permission, keep in formation, engage freely, and kill the enemy when they see it!"
"--Kill when you see the enemy!"
At first, everyone listened to Roland's commands with mockery or obedience, but the more they listened, the more they felt a moist sense of fear echo in their hearts.
Wrong.
This arrangement is wrong.
-- This is definitely not an arrangement to resist natural disasters or avoid bomb attacks, but more like some kind of defense and elimination of an unknowable enemy.
But even if they realized that something was wrong, they had already subconsciously followed Roland's arrangement and stood in the position of the station, entering a battle-ready posture.
"This ...... My lord, who are we going to fight against? ”
Faced with the question of the sword wizard who had mixed in, Roland's expression was grim, and a faint aura of iron and blood emanated from him.
"I judge, put the bombing. The one who played should be in the sewers," Roland's voice was sonorous, "We can't pin all our hopes of life on the murderer." ”
"We have to strike first! Find the place to put it fried. Shoot the guys, and then wipe them out! ”
