55.Chapter 55: Miracles (1)
"Captain, there's a situation!"
Soon after, the sound of warning sounded in the grassland, not far from the village of Kree.
The scout who spoke raised his arm and made a "stop advancing" gesture, and the other six teammates behind him immediately grabbed the reins in unison.
In the distance, a figure on a horse is galloping towards this direction.
The loud scout then looked at Captain Ruger, who raised his hand and gave a silent reconnaissance order with a tactical gesture. The scout, who had received the order, immediately grabbed the short bow on the side of the saddle and drove his horse forward.
In the rear, Lu Ge and the others silently picked up the short bow and set up the arrows, looked at the galloping figure in the distance, and began to calculate the angle that needed to be thrown in their hearts - this skillful posture of preparation for battle had already been practiced countless times, so when they really encountered the situation at this time, the scouts could not see the slightest panic and helpless look on their faces, only the same calmness and composure.
After a while, the scout in front confirmed the identity of the person who came - the guy in front of him who was running desperately turned out to be Hank, the scout captain of Kerry Village.
When he learned this information, Ruger's brows were already deeply furrowed, and he watched Captain Hank come to him with a pale face, only to feel that the tension and panic on the other party's face did not weaken at all, but became more and more anxious.
Something big is wrong.
This was Ruger's first instinct.
"Tell the news! The village of Cree has been attacked! It's the beasts, the orcs, the wolf cavalry! a lotโa lot of wolf cavalry!"
The panic in his heart made his words stutter incomparably, and his eyes swept over these scouts in Nolan Village, Hank thought that the other party would show the same panicked expression as himself, but after repeating the words in his mouth several times in a row, he was a little stunned to find... These scouts didn't even react superfluously.
He swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth, wanting to continue to emphasize what had happened to him, but he only saw the captain named Ruger at the front raise his hand to stop his words, and asked in a cold tone, "When?
This tone made Hank feel as if the other party was asking him "how old is it" and "have you eaten today", and there was no superfluous emotion at all, as if it was a complete "routine" - while he felt unbelievable, he shouted at Ruger in a bit of anger: "Don't you understand what I say? Damn! That's the wolf cavalry! God, don't you know what the wolf cavalry is?
"I know it's the wolf cavalry. โ
Ruger frowned, interrupting him again. This veteran has never had a bad temper, especially when he sees such a frightened softie. Therefore, the tone of his second question was already undisguised to reveal ruthlessness and impatience.
"I'm fucking asking you when you're attacked and how many enemies you have, don't you understand?"
"Who are you to ask me that? I meanโ"
Hank was slightly irritated by the other party's words, it was one thing to be afraid of the wolf cavalry, but it was another thing to be scolded by Ruger, who was also the captain of the scout. It's just that before Hank could finish his rebuttal, he widened his eyes and saw that Ruger in front of him directly pulled out his bow and arrow, and aimed the arrow at his head - "I...... I mean, just half an hour, no! Twenty minutes ago, there should have been thirty, maybe thirty-five, and they had burned the village, and they had already run away. โ
Ruger put down his bow and arrows with an expressionless face, and casually replied "Got it", and then turned his head to arrange his subordinates: "Cole, go back immediately, report to Roddy where we are now, and make all the news that this guy said clear just now." โ
"The rest, follow me, memorize all the routes, return to Nolan Village in batches and report my location. The wolf cavalry can't raid from a distance, they must have a camp nearby, so we'll definitely be able to catch up with those guys before sunset, and as for what to do, I'll wait for Captain Roddy's order. โ
After arranging the task very efficiently, Lu Ge waved his hand and motioned for a scout's war horse to exchange with Captain Hank, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Captain Hank and said, "Where are the orcs from, take me over now." โ
"Are you crazy? That's thirty wolf cavalrymen! No--okay, okay, I see, I'll take you, I'll take you away!--you're all crazy. Why did I meet a bunch of crazy people?"
Captain Hank's second retort came to an abrupt end when Rugra opened his short bow, and he cursed in a low voice, but there was a strange illusion in his heart that he "just got out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den" for no reason, his eyes swept back and forth, and he even gave birth to the absurd idea that "this group of scouts is pretending to be orcs"!
However, Ruger didn't give him a chance to talk nonsense, and immediately headed in the direction pointed by Hank, and the team instantly accelerated and galloped away.
And after being forced to follow for a distance, Captain Hank gradually noticed the difference in this team-
These Nolan Village scouts' military horses are far taller than they rode before, and the coat color turned out to be of excellent breeds, and the armor on the scout's body was obviously better by more than one grade, and a few minutes after the team rushed out, the soldiers scattered on both sides actually kept a similar distance and ran at high speed, each with excellent riding skills and a determined expression...
This feeling brought a kind of pressure to Captain Hank, as if these guys around him were two different types of people from a completely different world than him-
Don't... Aren't they scouts of House Russifron?
Don't... Are they going to hunt down the wolf cavalry?
Oh my God, what the hell am I doing wrong? Is this a nightmare?
......
โ... So, your job is not to tell them how to do it, how to do it, but to give them a belief that they will understand, 'I can do it!'"
This is a psychological hint, usually say a few words, it sounds like a simple encouragement, but keep saying that no matter who will be affected, this kind of encouragement is very important, don't take it as a child's play, be cautious, don't hit their self-confidence. โ
In Nolan's village, the scouts who were conducting the group raid drill were sweating profusely, while Roddy, who was not far away, was talking to Carter with something that didn't seem to have much to do with the battleโthe latter was trying to digest what Roddy had instilled, and after thinking for a long time, he asked, "I wrote down the general content... Even when I encourage them, what should they call me to that position? I can't remember... What's the commission?"
"Commissar, remember... Called the commissar. โ
Roddy replied with a serious face.
"Okay, okay, remember... I'll be Commissar Carter from then on, hehe. Carter rubbed his head, he never thought that he would be in such a position because of his "eloquence" - although it sounded simple, it was obviously a very important job in Roddy's mouth.
"Don't giggle, remember what to emphasize, obedience comes first, well, the training is almost over, you go and encourage them - Aunt Susan has prepared ale at the side, and one person takes a glass to quench their thirst. โ
"Yes!"
Carter was staggering over to chat with the tired, sweaty scouts, and Roddy sat here, and from a distance he could hear words like "Well done," "Faster this time," "You kid shoot accurately," and after a while, the cry of a toast.
Luo Di smiled, the influence of the "political commissar" on the army is not small. Leaving aside the function of the political commissar to "boost morale" for the time being, one of the main purposes was to instill in the soldiers the consciousness of "obeying orders" -- to whom to obey? Naturally, it was not the Rusiflon family, which was hundreds of miles away, but the ambitious scout captain himself.
With the team firmly in his hands, this can carry out the order efficiently, so that Roddy can carry out the next plan with peace of mind.
He had already planned the battle arrangements for the next two months, in short, to wait for the rainy season in July to go to the orc kingdom to get some "extra money", so that his level would soar and disrupt the opponent's domestic situation.
These things sound a bit nonsense to anyone, but Roddy naturally won't come nonsense - those information posts that he saw on the forum at the beginning can be used as strategic intelligence at this time, and the hard work that this otaku once made was really not in vain.
Thinking about the preliminary preparations to be made, he spun the few arrows he had just made in his hand, and when he compared them to the winding, center of gravity, and wind direction, he began to miss the arrows he used at level 59.
Ordinary people may not have a concept, but for those who really use bows, the impact of "arrows" on accuracy is far greater than that of bows - so the arrows used by all high-level rangers are basically processed by the Wood Elves, a race with paranoid perfectionism, and their arrows are extremely consistent and have very few errors, but the only drawback is that they are "expensive"!
Roddy sometimes has to sigh that these guys are "luxury manufacturers", but when it comes to "wood elves", he can't help but think of an opportunity to "make a fortune".
Roddy remembered that the Wood Elves had been isolated in the forest, and it wasn't until the server was launched that the village gradually opened up to humans. At that time, the wine made by the wood elves was extremely popular because of its popularity, and it became a hot commodity among the nobles to show off their status for the first time. In the first half of 590, many players made a lot of money just running back and forth in the Silent Forest as a second-class dealer, and when the price stabilized, a lucky player actually obtained the brewing recipe from a series of quests, and the sky-high price that was sold made Roddy envy for a long time. The guild that bought that recipe with a lot of money earned an unimaginable amount of money in the first year of the game, and became one of the veteran guilds that remained standing in the later period.
"If you can get involved with the wood elves, even if you can't get the recipe, you can get some fruit wine to sell first..."
Roddy muttered to himself, and when he saw Carter and the scout resting in the pergola, he remembered that Ruger and the others seemed to be returning a little late.
"That guy Ruger, I guess I'm going to have to run ten laps today. โ
A scout joked, and Carter, who was next to him, took a sip of ale, looked over to Roddy, and said, "Captain, isn't that Sodlore saying he's coming today?
Luo Di raised his eyebrows, then remembered that there was a letter about this a few days ago, nodded and said, "Go and inform now, I hope it's still too late." โ
Sodlore wants to take the scouts of Finks Village to "defect", he needs to go through the procedures, do ideological work, etc., and the mess will take about a month to finish, and a week ago he sent a letter saying that he would arrive with the soldiers today, and Roddy didn't pay too much attention to it, if it wasn't for Carter's reminder, he probably forgot about it. Just as he was thinking about how many men he would take to meet Sodrore in a moment, the abrupt sound of horses' hooves in the distance made him turn his head.
The scouts sent back by Ruger rushed into Nolan Village, and began to report to him loudly about what had happened before, and Roddy listened with a serious face, and then looked at the sky... The black smoke rising from the burning chamber in Cree Village in the distance made him clench the Ming Dysprosium arrow in his hand slightly.
"These grandchildren... I'm going to do it now..."
