It was late at night, and the campfire in the camp was gradually extinguished.

The soldiers were slightly tired from the continuous rapid march, so after dinner, most of the soldiers chose to sleep to regain their strength, so except for the soldiers on the night watch, and at this time only Roddy, Sodrol, Ruger, Carter, and Nata were sitting in front of the fire.

At this point, the team was only a day's journey from Parling, which meant that... They will be able to "go home" tomorrow.

The concept of "going home" has become a bit blurred for this team that has always been on the move in the kingdom, and now the cavalry includes scouts from former border villages, Templars, and requisitioned servants from the duke, who come from all over the territory of Evta, but have never felt a sense of belonging to them - after all, neither Parllar nor Elson City seem strange to these soldiers, and they do not feel "home".

“... So I think the team should stay here for a while recuperating after the Parl problem is resolved. It's not good that the strings are too tight, and the border is relatively quiet during this time, and the team can get enough rest and adjustment until next spring. ”

Roddy stirred the bonfire with a branch, and it was always relaxing to chat with these comrades who had fought all the way, and the others were used to it, and they also expressed their opinions-

"The rest will definitely take place, but a new round of conscription is equally urgent, our troops simply cannot protect a city the size of 'Elson', and secondly, there is not enough population. I think this may need to be discussed with the Duke. ”

Sodlore expressed his concern by placing a skewer of roast rabbit meat by the fire.

"The matter of conscription is left to you, before the development of Elson City, the two points of Parling and Elsa Village are the most important. The problem of population is left to me, and I have a solution. ”

As he spoke, Roddy handed the ale in his hand to Carter next to him and asked, "How are the soldiers doing lately?"

Carter can be regarded as the first "veteran" to kill Nolan Village with Roddy, so in the face of Roddy's question, he did not hide or be vague at all, and said truthfully: "To be honest, it's not good. ”

"Let's be specific. ”

Roddy was not surprised, and he also felt that his team seemed to have entered a "fatigue period" due to the non-stop campaign all year long.

"Maybe it's a way to recuperate, but I think the best way is to figure out what everybody wants most. "The political commissar has done a lot of work, and Carter now speaks with a kind of eloquent meaning, which is very different from the unassertive vice captain back then.

All people are changing, even themselves... Roddy sighed inwardly, and then asked, "What do you think they want?"

"I've talked to every soldier about something similar, but at the end of the day... There are not many people who want to fight for their lives all the time, but we all know what we are doing - so when we think of our goals, we don't resist fighting, but after every battle... Soldiers don't just need money or equipment. ”

Carter shook his head and pointed to himself, "Actually, what we crave most is to feel when we hear someone mention our name... Proud. ”

"Glory, pride, pride," he continued, taking a bite of the dry and hard jerky, "the soldiers will not complain about bitterness and tiredness, but will complain that they have done too much and sacrificed too much, but they have not heard the affirmation of the people. ”

This is indeed a fact that Roddy has ignored before, and he has always believed that "concealing identity" has always been an advantage in the face of the enemy - the enemy is in the light, and I am in the dark, so that his team will always grasp the initiative, so that the less wins the more, and the weak defeats the strong again and again.

But Carter's words made him understand that his team had reached the time to step out of the shadows...

After a moment of contemplation, Roddy made a decision, then looked at Ruger and asked, "What about the soldiers' daily schedules?"

Lu Ge, who was always sitting silently by the bonfire, was holding his sword and was distracted, when he heard Luo Di calling him, he thought about it and said in a deep voice: "Our training method should be changed, the strength of the soldiers has reached a certain bottleneck, and the previous training method, I feel that it is a little inapplicable." ”

Luger has changed from the ruffian who liked to bully recruits to a cavalry captain with a strong sense of responsibility, and now he has begun to be silent - because the more he sees a strong enemy, the more he knows his own shortcomings and insignificance, so now Luger is more and more introverted and low-key, and he no longer has the arrogance and domineering he once had.

"The Wellington Knight should be able to help, as he promised, and then... I'll figure it out. ”

The two knights, "Titus" and "Wellington", represent the highest level of combat power in the current Ivota territory, but neither of them has broken through the threshold of advancing to level 30, which is not powerful.

And the "strongest cavalry regiment" in Luo Di's mind is actually working towards the level of the whole regiment to advance to the level of 45 or above.

In my impression, in the Karen Kingdom in 596, the strongest cavalry regiment was the rebel army "Iron Sky Cavalry Regiment" that survived countless bloody battles, but that team was ambushed in a battle in March 597, when all four hundred and six knights of the regiment were killed, and at that time, their average level was about 40 or so.

To reach such a level, it was not enough for Wellington to be a mentor, and Roddy thought about the right person in his mind and had a rough choice.

He looked up and wanted to ask Nata if she had any ideas, but seeing her appearance, Roddy finally chose not to start any more conversations.

After briefly talking about the next arrangements and combat preparations, everyone went back to rest. And he himself stayed in front of the campfire, quietly contemplating the future direction of the team.

"The more you have, the more troubles you have..."

Luo Di sighed, then opened the panel and looked at the [Character Status], and was about to switch titles, but found that the title of [The Last Demon Hunter] had changed.

The normal title has the same attributes, but the title of [The Last Demon Hunter] can increase the attributes according to the level increase. For such a gain, Roddy was quite surprised:

【The Last Demon Hunter】

+13% Agility

+3 "Pet Skill Enhancement" talent

+5% to pet movement speed

Compared to the previous one, this title provides 3% more agility, a little talent bonus and 5% more pet movement speed, which is quite amazing, and according to its boost gain ratio, Roddy thinks this can be called a "tailor-made" title!

Flipping through the [Advanced Talent Column], he never clicked on the talent of the [Beast Control] system, Roddy looked at it casually, and the first line was the "Demon Pet Skill Enhancement" talent, and according to the explanation, this talent is not all the skills of strengthening pets - when pets have multiple skills, this talent only has a bonus effect on one skill.

This effect needs to be manually selected, and if you want to change it, it requires a 24-hour cooldown.

Come to think of it, if all skills are strengthened by 350%, it really affects the balance.

Roddy glanced at the "Tortoiseshell Shield" icon in his skill bar, the current skill level is level 1, because with the default three-point talent enhancement, its damage reduction effect has been increased from 70% to 85%, and the cooldown time has been reduced from 30 minutes to 21 minutes, the effect is very obvious.

However, this skill of the snapping turtle can only be used as a one-time "ultimate" in each battle, and it doesn't help much to improve the overall strength, if there are more skills...

Wait a minute.

Roddy suddenly remembered the Nokia that he had long neglected - when he left Elson, Roddy just stuffed it in his pocket and took it all the way, forgetting to see if it had woken up...

Thinking of this, he quickly reached out and took out the "Nokia" from his pocket, but found that the thing was looking at him with two small eyes...

The four big words "state of hunger" were displayed on the top of Nokia's head, which made Roditon a little embarrassed... It's my first pet, so it's a bit unreasonable.

Getting up and going to the tent to find food, Roddy broke it into pieces and began to feed the murderous-looking little guy, only to notice that the "juvenile" prompt above the other party's head had disappeared - he raised his eyebrows, quickly opened the panel, and finally saw a golden "upgrade" button in the [pet status bar]!

Roddy glanced at it, Nokia had 120,000 available experience, which is estimated to be all the experience accumulated since becoming a pet. There are really a lot of tasks and bosses I have completed along the way, so after passing the "infancy", I have accumulated a heavenly number!

Luo Di immediately clicked the "upgrade" button, the system prompt flashed, the armor on Nokia's body changed slightly, and the single-digit attribute value on the panel also increased slightly, Luo Di continued to click the button - ****, level four, level five... It wasn't until the ninth level that the word "upgrade" dimmed.

At this time, Nokia has completely changed.

Luo Di originally thought that this kind of "pet" would not change too much due to the rapid increase in level, but he never thought that Nokia's body would swell sharply under the shroud of a dark purple light, and after reaching the ninth level, it would turn into a giant tortoise with a diameter of more than one and a half meters!

The tortoiseshell, which was already sharp, was further transformed, with jagged edges like the fangs of a giant beast, with ridges and protrusions on the surface, thick and like dragon's scales, making people wonder if it had "dragon" blood...

However, Luo Di knows that the so-called bloodline, even if there is, is probably diluted to almost nothing - the real "dragon clan", even if it is a juvenile, the level is generally above the level of 40, and basically all the adult bodies can almost step through the 60-level threshold, they are extremely strong, and rarely appear in the human world...

Information about dragons flashed in his mind, but Roddy suddenly remembered a task to meet dragons, but this idea was only fleeting, and he was more interested in the skills that Nokia brought with him when he grew up.

Opening the [Pet Status Bar], Roddy saw a row of flashing words:

Tortoiseshell Shield increased to level 2.

Gain the "Fierce Bite" skill.

Gain the "Bite" skill.

Gain the "Great Strike" skill.
