If you want to do things, you can't do without making money, Roddy frowned and wondered how to make money in this poor country, and carefully sifted through the remaining wooden arrows for the right ones—the reason why he took so many was because he had to find thirty arrows from them to ensure accuracy.

The straightness, winding (hardness), length and center of gravity of each arrow are different, as for Roddy, who has a small success in archery, his archery realm is naturally not what ordinary scouts can imagine, at this time he is holding the file brought by Dick, fine-tuning the thirty arrows that were selected...

After grinding the slots at the end of each arrow to a uniform width, he began to shoot all these arrows - this time, the distance Roddy shot was changed to forty meters, and every time he shot an arrow, he moved for a long time, as if thinking about something, and after thirty arrows were shot in three groups, every time he came back, Roddy carved a faint mark on the tail of these arrows.

These actions made Dick, who was standing on the sidelines, curious, but finally resisted the intention to ask. By the time Roddy had converted the piece of shredded leather armor into a simple finger guard, the scouts in the distance were ready to go.

Handing the remaining arrows back to Dick, Roddy smiled and walked to his horse with the horned bow and the thirty arrows. Captain Carter saw Roddy, his attitude was slightly different from before, at this moment he no longer put on a captain's stand, and the meaning of the cold greeting between his words was very obvious, almost making people think that he and Roddy were both scout captains. However, Roddy was not interested in being too polite with him, and just listened carefully to Carter's subsequent assignments-

"Yesterday's orc attack was sudden, although we... Won the war, but also paid a terrible price. Second Lieutenant Thording has reported the news to Hollier, and I think the number of scouts will be expanded in a few days, but to make sure those damn orcs don't infiltrate the borders, today... We're going to do a big reconnaissance. ”

Speaking of which, Carter's behavior can be regarded as "dedicated". Although he is not skilled in martial arts, his mind has not deviated from the right path - much better than the bullshit aristocrats in later generations who betrayed the country and sought glory in Luo Di's memory. You must know that this country has been weak for a long time, the lords and nobles have their own policies, less than a quarter of the huge land belongs to the king, and the rest has been carved up by the big and small lords, and the resulting infighting has hardly stopped.

The collapse of the Karen Kingdom in Roddy's memory was because this group of noble lords did not forget to stumble with each other in the face of orc attacks, and finally lost one battle after another, ending up with ninety percent of the old families being slaughtered by orcs.

Captain Carter's words came one after another in his ears, and Roddy woke up from his memories, raised his head and chest, and listened to the captain's serious explanation of the direction of the investigation: "Twenty kilometers west of Nolan Village, radiation reconnaissance, if it is confirmed that it is safe, continue to ten kilometers west after the noon break." ”

"Captain... It's not—"

Several team members changed their faces and immediately spoke up to ask questions, but were interrupted by Carter's wave.

"I know it's a neutral zone, and I don't have to be responsible for any accidents. But now that these damned orcs can get close to our borders, we're going to make them pay with blood!"

Although Carter gave all the scouts the impression of being a bastard and an old fritter, the dead soldier still made him feel a lot of shock in his heart, although Carter's ability is not strong, but in the face of orcs violating the border, such an incident related to the honor of the lord, he has a lot of enthusiasm, and his eloquence actually surprised Roddy, at least in his opinion, this guy is still very good at inciting other people's emotions.

As for the royal families who have little influence on the kingdom of Karen, these scouts are mostly unfeeling, but for Duke Rusiflon, the soldiers have the most basic principle of allegiance in their hearts - this is also the most significant difference between this era and the modern day in which Roddy once lived.

In a society similar to medieval Europe, there is no such thing as sovereignty between people, and if anything, the principle of "contract" is the most applied. Most... For example, all the villagers of Nolan Village are the "property" of the lord, the lord provides shelter, and the villagers provide taxes and soldiers in time of war. At this time, the scout team that Roddy was in was a private soldier loyal to the Duke of Rouseflon's family.

Although it is not easy to accept such a concept, Roddy has long been accustomed to playing games for so long, and at this time, when the team members heard Carter's words, they were also aroused to the blood in their bones...

Listening to the slogans of these young soldiers, the corners of Roddy's mouth pulled into a wry smile.

The kingdom of Karen... A dying old man in the human kingdom in the "Ripp", it was founded seventy years ago by Conn the Conqueror, when the royal family was so powerful that the king's army was feared by orcs, the undead, and the pretenders around him. But since then, the country has gradually begun to decline, the power of the aristocracy has increased, and the royal family's voice has decreased dramatically. Many of the lords dragged the country into the quagmire of civil strife, and the people at the bottom suffered unspeakably...

It's just that the people of the Karen Kingdom have always had a blood nature in their bones that will never admit defeat, and it is this bloodiness that has made the kingdom stand tall under the siege of the two major forces of orcs and undead.

Although Roddy is only in the game, in seven years, he has also witnessed the perseverance and determination of countless people when this huge kingdom fell apart, and also witnessed the sacrifice of countless people, and also saw the unremitting efforts made by those people who drifted away for this country in the changing situation...

Although it was only a game, because it was so realistic and three-dimensional, a spirit stood forever in Roddy's heart like a totem, which became one of the reasons why he accepted the scout identity without complaint at the moment.

"Do you understand the mission?"

Captain Carter's words pulled Roddy back to reality from his chaotic thoughts, and he immediately replied loudly, like all the players around him, "Understood, Captain!"

"Let's go. Carter straightened his military uniform and the equipment on his horse, and motioned for the second team of scouts to leave immediately.

A seven-person reconnaissance team immediately rushed out of Nolan Village on a war horse, and began the first large-scale long-distance radiation reconnaissance in nearly three years, and after getting on the horse, the captain Carter did not forget to turn back to Roddy and said: "The vice captain of the team is vacant, now you are in charge, if I die, you lead the rest of the people to move forward." ”

These words were a bit sudden, but the team members who participated in yesterday's battle next to them remained silent very tacitly. Roddy held the reins and hesitated thoughtfully for a moment, then nodded, but for some reason, he said a sentence as if talking to himself-

"For the glory of Karen. ”

This sentence made Captain Carter stunned for a moment, and then he felt that his eyes were a little sour.

Peace has lasted so long that people have long forgotten about the vicious orcs on the other side of the steppe. Carter was the same, but it wasn't until yesterday that he suddenly realized that war was never far away... And he seems to have embarked on this path of defending the dignity of the country today.

Will it die? Maybe.

Do you regret it? No.

Stretching out his hand to his chest, Captain Carter solemnly gave a military salute and whispered silently, "For the glory of Karen!"

The procession marched in silence, the sound of horses' hooves echoing across the open grassland.

..........

At noon, the sun is shining.

In April, when the temperature warms up, gray hares can occasionally be seen jumping and disappearing into caves in the endless Nehemian savannah, eagles hovering in the sky, and the wind blowing by the day carries the fresh smell of the grassland.

Everything seemed to be as quiet and uneventful as the scouts had seen for ten years.

However, when the team stopped to drink and rest at noon, Roddy, who had always seemed a little silent, knew that danger was coming.

Through his past game memories and "Lodi's" memories, he has analyzed the distance between his location and the village on the edge of the orc territory at this moment.

There are still two years to go before the "Rip Earth" server is launched, and most of the human players born in the future will be distributed in novice areas like Nolan Village, when encountering orcs on the border was a common thing, and there were all kinds of missions released at the village and town entrance, so that players scrambled to complete them. Now it seems that although these green-skinned barbarians have not yet flooded to that extent, yesterday's battle encounter has proved that the other side has taken action.

At this time, the team had completed the task of twenty kilometers of radiation patrol, and after the horses rested, they would continue to reconnoiter to the northwest of the border, and in Roddy's memory, after two steppe slopes ahead, it should be one of the three forward sentry towers established by the orcs - when the service was opened in later generations, the three sentry towers here were the forefront supply stations for those orc scouts and stragglers, and they were regarded by the Karen Kingdom as "the sharp teeth of the orcs trying to bite the empire's territory".

But these watchtowers ... Does it exist now?

Judging from the previous attack by the orcs, Roddy could tell that these guys must have a stronghold nearby, but as for whether it was the sentry tower in the afterlife, it needs to be further confirmed.

He looked at the weapon on his equipment slot - the short sword with an attack power of 1-2 was almost negligible, this kind of tattered equipment could not be called any attack power, and he used heavy weapons as a sub-profession of berserker, and at this time he completely looked down on this kind of "toy" that was powerless to pick up.

Equipment is important to players in Rip Earth, but not necessarily the stronger the equipment, the stronger the person. A swordsman who has crossed the threshold of level 30, and the player who has not crossed this level with a short sword that attacks 1-2 is not a dream story but a fact, the higher the level, the higher the attribute is a fact, but more important is the skill bonus and his own understanding of the profession.

Roddy crossed level 30 as a ranger in his previous life and approached level 60 infinitely, which already shows that his talent is not false.

At this moment, the damage of the horn bow in his hand 7-12 is already the best in level 1 long-range equipment, with an arrow with additional damage +1, once he hits a vital point such as the head, Roddy can be sure that its critical strike value can even cause a huge amount of damage of more than 100 - the damage in "Ripping Soil" fluctuates greatly, it is by no means an ordinary online game that deducts blood according to the value of the panel with a single slash, and the damage of an arrow through the head often floats up by ten times, and a sword is slid away by plate armor, and sometimes even blood will not be deducted.

Therefore, from a certain point of view, the pure absolute strength attribute does not represent the strength of a person, but more importantly, the strength of one's own skills.

Thinking of those well-marked arrows, Luo Di, who once had the title of "Shadow Hunter" at level 59, was relieved, and carefully pondered when to get some more equipment to take advantage of.

"Guys, get ready to go. ”

Captain Carter finished his rest just in time, and the scouts turned over their horses after equipping their weapons, and the group of seven continued to march towards the border of the orc kingdom on the west side... At this moment, their faces gradually became solemn, because further forward was the "central buffer zone" on the border between the orc kingdom and the Karon kingdom - here, nothing happened that would affect the agreement that the kingdom had signed.

Here, they have lost their last mental support, and they must also abandon the most childish illusions, because once they encounter the orcs, the two sides will definitely meet each other without any hesitation, and life and death are up to the sky, and they can't think about it.

Roddy held the reins in his hand and looked intently at the low slope in the distance. Captain Carter, who was leading the team at the front, turned his head to see something in this guy who was suddenly too strong for him to guess, but he couldn't pick up any information from Roddy's expression. However, as they waited on the low slope of the grassland, the exclamation of the scout at the front made him look terrified!

In the distance, on the ground where the grassland should be empty and abnormal, a camp suddenly appeared!

About a dozen or so hide-in tents were in a circle, and a few pieces of air-dried bacon hung from the humble tents. In the center of them, there is also a crooked wooden tower ... Threes and threes walked among them, and the shape of the big shoulders and round waist immediately made the scouts stunned.

All the scenes show that this camp is the outpost built by the orcs - Roddy looked at the scene in front of him, and the outpost with a high guard tower in his memory gradually coincided with the humble camp in front of him...

That's it!
