The battle went on without suspense, as the wolf knights, standing in the pool like targets, fell in a rain of arrows, and some of the orcs tried to run into the distance, but they didn't get far before they fell into a deep puddle, and were dragged directly into the darkness by the terrible thing that didn't know what was underwater... Never again.

Twenty-nine soldiers shot all the orcs and wolves in the distance into hedgehogs with about five rounds of fire, but when there were no more living orcs moaning on the battlefield in front of them, none of the soldiers dared to step forward to examine the corpses - because after witnessing the underwater monster devouring the orcs, they were far less excited about defeating the more than forty wolf cavalry in their hearts.

Including Sodrore, the most action the scouts did at this time was to wipe their sweat. Not only their foreheads, but even their backs were gradually soaked with cold sweat, and their legs trembled uncontrollably.

"Ka-Carter, put the horses away, don't wander around, we're here waiting... Wait for Roddy to come back. ”

Sodlore took several deep breaths before calming his tone, and Carter, who was next to him, came back to his senses and hurriedly called a few scouts to gather the horses. At this time, they looked at the pond and puddle not far away, and their hearts were already full of inexplicable fear, wishing that they could hide as far as they could. Apparently before this, they had no idea that such a terrible monster could be in this puddle.

"That's how it went... We're -- I mean, it's true. ”

Ruger next to Sodrol looked at everything in front of him, his emotions were complicated and abnormal, and he couldn't tell if he was excited or anything else - the most thought in his heart was revenge and killing, and he shot through the heads of three orcs with good archery skills just now, killing and killing, slaughtering and slaughtering, but at this time, there was not much excitement in his heart, but he just sighed in a low voice after a long pause: "If I had told me this yesterday, I would not have believed it if I had been killed..."

The body is a little tired, and it may be more of a psychological weakness for the rest of his life. Ruger crouched down and tried to calm his adrenaline-affected body, his eyes staring at the battlefield in front of him, and he muttered to himself, "More than forty orcs." It's still a wolf cavalry, but we all died before we even touched it. ”

"There's not one left, just like Roddy said..."Luger seemed to feel a little tired from squatting, so he simply sat down on the wet grass and took a few big breaths, "To be honest, I really admire you." Sodrore. ”

Sodrore was looking into the distance with some distraction, and when he heard this, he squatted next to Ruger, and asked back with some absent-mindedness: "What do I have to admire?"

"In the morning, Roddy took you on this journey less than three times, right? He didn't say anything at the time, and we just thought that these swamps were just slowing down the orcs, now it seems. I thought it was so simple - I just thought that if you took the wrong step before, I'm afraid we would end up with the same fate as the orcs. ”

Ruger exhaled slowly, when Roddy said in the morning that he was going to fight back against the Cossack village, he didn't really have to agree with it at all, but Roddy's method finally convinced him. But plans are plans, and as a veteran of the brutal war, he never thought about it. This seemingly simple strategy was so neatly solved by the almost inexplicable enemy.

"Roddy, he... It's amazing," Luger didn't mean to compliment in his words at this time, but sighed from the bottom of his heart, "He deliberately didn't tell us what was inside, so now we can stand here alive, right? ”

"No, you guessed it wrong. ”

Sodrore shook his head, rubbed his face vigorously with his hands, and said in an undetectable voice, "Actually, I know. ”

"Huh?"

Ruger raised his eyebrows, and in the distance of his vision, a half-dead wolf moved his body, tentatively trying to get out of there, but after a few steps into the pool, Hula was dragged into it by the monster who didn't know what it was, as usual, churning waves and a few bubbles, and then there was no movement.

Sodrore watched this scene with a blank face, and whispered, "I." In fact, I always knew what was in the water. ”

Luge's mouth opened slightly, and his expression showed a slight consternation.

"It was Roddy who told me, and he told me about the consequences of making a wrong step. As if saying these words would release the pressure that had been building up in his heart, Sodrore exhaled deeply, "When I ran with you, I was actually more nervous than any of you..."

"I've never been so nervous in my life, I know. If we take the wrong step, we will all die. ”

Lugna was speechless, and didn't even know what to say for a while.

"Roddy didn't tell you because he understands that you just need to follow, which is not difficult to do, emphasize it three or four times, anyone can easily do it, but if you tell the truth, it is easy to go wrong. Sodrore closed his eyes, as if trying to get himself out of a nightmare, "All the pressure is actually on me, he knows what it means, but he does it anyway." ”

"Roddy him. ”

"He's grinding me. Sodrol rubbed his eyebrows, and after the tense nerves slowly relaxed, he seemed weak to speak, "I came to Nolan Village to find him, just to study." Why could he kill the orcs so easily? I think he can do it, I can do it. And now, I am beginning to understand where the gap between myself and him is. ”

Although it was a small talk, it was clear to Luger that Sodrore had gained more in this battle than he had gained in the years he had been a lieutenant and ensign combined--thinking of this, he actually had a little curiosity in his heart, and replied, "Where is it?"

"Strong on the inside. Sodrol pointed to his chest, "Only if you are strong in your heart can you deal with these things calmly." In the past, many of us rushed to the front, and when something happened, we shirked each other's responsibilities. And those who survive can always find a reason to excuse themselves. If you succeed, the credit seems to be your own, and if you fail, the mistakes are all someone else's. ”

"To think like that, you will always look like a coward. ”

"But just now, I realized how terrible it is to feel powerless to escape - you have to take responsibility for your failures, there is no way back, there is no room for compromise, you can only grit your teeth and rush. ”

The corners of Sodrore's mouth twitched, and his smile was a little weak, but he was also very satisfied: "Hold on like this, succeed, self-confidence is stronger than ever, failure, no other nonsense." ”

Listening to these words, Lu Ge nodded as if he didn't understand, but he couldn't fully understand what it was like, but he was sure that that kind of mental tension was really not something that anyone could easily bear.

"Speaking of which, what is the plan for Roddy to go over there now?"

"I don't know, he said to set a trap and take all the meat left in the group. Perhaps, it's trying to lure the contents of the water out to deal with the orcs?"

"Then why did he go alone? ”

"I asked, and he told me -- that place. Only he himself will survive. ”

Speaking of this, the two of them frowned together, but they couldn't be completely reassured.

"So many plans have worked, his side. It must be nine out of ten. Ruger muttered to himself.

Sodrore didn't say anything, although they were both a little worried, but at this time, the awe that the two of them, and indeed all the members of the entire team, seemed to have ingrained in their hearts......

Time goes back a few minutes ago.

From the moment he decided to start the counterattack on the Cossack village in the morning, Roddy had already decided on the current strategy - or, rather, this "alternative plan" was essentially the "last retreat" he left for himself and his entire team.

It doesn't sound reasonable to travel long distances to the Orc Empire to level up, but the reason why Roddy didn't choose to fight rabbits and hunt wolves on the grasslands on the border like an ordinary player is because he knows very well the truth of the saying "risk always coexists with opportunity".

If he were to level up like a player, Roddy had calculated that if he wanted to get to level 10 just by killing rabbits or doing the tasks offered by those villages, he would probably need to keep killing until November - judging by the amount of time he had experienced in the game. But now he didn't have time to do this, so during the rainy season in mid-August, he made this bold plan, and made the "Death Swamp", a replica deep in the Nehemian steppes, an important centerpiece of the whole plan.

Speaking of which, the "Death Swamp" is an extremely special existence in the ripp.

Only during the rainy season in the summer, this dungeon will appear, and as soon as the rainy season passes, the dungeon will disappear without a trace - in the second year of the server, this dungeon was discovered by orc players, and in the same year, the news spread to the human side, so many players started to "open up the wasteland" as usual, but the result was more tragic - not to mention the boss, even the monsters of this dungeon itself were not seen, and the players died over and over again.

The forum was full of scolding, but at that time Luo Di didn't care too much about this, all he had to do every day was to browse the news and strategies, and then continue to impact the title of "leather master".

At that time, he was still a life player, and he had earned a monthly salary of tens of thousands of dollars every month with his own hands, which can be regarded as just "standing out" from those life players, and his confidence was still there, but there were not many things in his head. To put it simply, Roddy was like a machine at that time, working day and night to make a living, striving for maximum efficiency in everything he did.

The word "tech nerd" may seem like an exclamation and envy to others, but for Roddy himself, life seems extremely boring.

However, when he abandoned all of this two years later and began to move towards the path of PVP, the "Death Swamp" happened to be the initial "training place" of his Ranger Road - it had been about four years since the server was launched, and this dungeon had already been explored, so Roddy quickly became familiar with this place, and began to use it to kill countless batches of NPCs that spawned at the border of the Orc Kingdom, and began a crazy leveling program.

What kind of puddle has a "water monster", what kind of puddle can be walked, what to do in the face of wolf cavalry, what to do in the face of ordinary orcs, what to do in the face of an unmanageable situation. What about -- in his memory, these things are deeply imprinted when he first came into contact with the words "killing" and "war", and he can't forget it.

So at this time, when the roar of the wolf cavalry behind him came, Luo Di only felt that the familiar images in his mind instantly coincided with the one in front of him.

Looking up at the front of him, Roddy, who had always dominated the rhythm of the war, did the same as Sodrore had done before, pulling the reins, leaning his body and turning continuously, the horse galloping along the edge of the puddle again and again, while the wolf behind him, who had slowed down after the end of the "bloodthirsty spell", remained at the level that kept Roddy in sight under the sorcery that Sarota had cast again—sometimes Roddy could even hear Salotta shouting commands such as "run along the track" behind him.

Glancing behind him, the corners of Roddy's mouth raised slightly in an eerie arc. However, this fleeting expression was not captured by Sarota, who was trying to order the team to follow the trail of Roddy's walk, and although the distance was growing, Sarota clearly did not intend to give up the pursuit.

He didn't believe that this human could always be in this dangerous swamp without making any mistakes.
