Chapter 24: The Protagonist and the Supporting Role
When the breakthrough began, the combat qualities shown by these twelve Chu soldiers, or the twelve reincarnators, were actually good, and they didn't need to command anything at all, so they were in place.
The archer Wei Zhen led the way in front, and the female archer Ma Jingyue walked in front with light steps, bent over, and did not make a sound at all, which made Lin Yuan easily think of the assassin profession, but Ma Jingyue did not seem to have a dagger-like weapon on her body.
He was followed by Chen Er and three other long knife men, all of whom were very light and regular, and looked like they were professionally trained.
Behind the four long knife hands, there were the shield-holding Wang Dahu and Lin Yuan, who were vaguely protecting Lin Yuan's side, and I don't know if this was to cooperate with the plot or something else.
Behind Lin Yuan were Chang Sen, a sword cavalryman, and Chen Ke, an infantry archer, and three pikemen at the back.
Compared with these twelve highly vigilant Chu soldiers, Lin Yuan was more relaxed, because he had double vision, and the ability to capture and track primary dynamics, plus double hearing, double sense of smell, double god-level reactions, etc., so he could easily see far away, hundreds of meters away, even the sound of a grasshopper bouncing could not escape his ears.
Because of this, he also had time to observe other people.
Moreover, it is not an ordinary observation, but an observation from the three directions of sight, hearing, and smell.
Through vision, we can memorize the movements and demeanor of these people, and analyze and remember their breathing and footsteps through hearing.
Judge their bloody smell and unique smell of sweat by their sense of smell.
It's amazing, at this time, Lin Yuan was suddenly glad that thanks to the option he activated the double sense of smell before, otherwise he would never be able to do this in such a three-dimensional way.
In less than a few minutes, Lin Yuan had already locked on the specific physical characteristics of these twelve reincarnators through his senses of sight, hearing, and smell.
It is no exaggeration to say that if at this time, he suddenly fell into the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, but Lin Yuan could still determine the location of each person and who they were? What is being done?
Even if they changed their outfits and washed away the smell of blood and sweat on their bodies, Lin Yuan could still judge a rough result by the sound of their footsteps and breathing.
"I don't know, do these reincarnators also have a chance to advance and open those twelve physical fitness options?"
Lin Yuan was thinking so, and suddenly, Ma Jingyue, the step archer who was walking in the front, stopped suddenly, stretched out his palm, and made a whole set of command actions in the air, there is no doubt that this belongs to modern special forces can only be mastered, but it is not important, because Lin Yuan has vaguely heard a rapid and powerful vibration sound in the place that is blocked by trees about a thousand meters in front of him, followed by a breeze that is completely different from other people's body odor.
"There is an enemy, one kilometer ahead, the number is unknown, but it is being divided into two parts, one left and one right, searching for us!"
Lin Yuan said quickly in a low voice, he couldn't hide it at this time, because he only had a strong talent in shooting now, but in close combat, he was very ordinary, let alone how to command this kind of squad of more than a dozen people to fight?
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, Wang Dahu on the side looked at him in amazement, even Chen Erdao in front.
However, they obviously did not hesitate, let alone doubt Lin Yuan's ability, as if they already understood, they each whispered a secret signal, and everyone quickly retreated and hid into a bush they had just passed.
"We are in the wind, the soldiers of the Sky Wolf Country should have only preliminarily determined the direction of the bloody qi, and it is unlikely that they will find us, but as long as they continue to search on our side, as long as they get close to three hundred meters, they will inevitably find us, and at that time they will immediately blow the horn of the Sky Wolf, attracting Sky Wolf soldiers from other directions to outflank here, so, Lord Captain, we can only have two choices."
This time, it was Ma Jingyue who was the first to speak, and she also discovered those Heavenly Wolf Kingdom soldiers almost at the same time as Lin Yuan.
"First, immediately change direction and bypass the soldiers of the Sky Wolf Country in front, but this will only add more variables, and the consequences are unpredictable, and once we are in the upper hand, then, even if we are separated by two kilometers, those soldiers of the Sky Wolf Country can find us."
"And the second option, that is, before those soldiers of the Sky Wolf Kingdom find us, launch an all-out attack, and we must not let them blow the horn of the Sky Wolf!"
"There's nothing to say, just the second option! But, is it okay to have a distance of 300 meters? Lin Yuan felt very excited at this time, but seeing that everyone else was calm, he sighed secretly, at this point, he really couldn't be regarded as an elite warrior.
"It depends on how many wolf soldiers there are in the search, generally speaking, a small team of wolf soldiers is ten, they only have one wolf horn, that is to say, if it is a small team, the archers on our side only need to stop the wolf soldier holding the wolf horn, and the rest of the people need to kill all of them and end the battle within three minutes, and it can be done!" At this time, Chen Er said in a deep voice, but his eyes looked at Lin Yuan again.
And Lin Yuan naturally understood what he meant, so he didn't say much immediately, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and began to listen with all his might.
In an instant, a large number of sounds were gathered, first the sound of Chen Er and the others' breathing and heartbeat, then the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves of the bushes, the sound of insects chirping in the distance, and the sound of the leaves of tall trees.
In the end, in this chaotic sound, Lin Yuan once again locked on to the kind of footsteps that were fast and strong.
And as the distance continues to close, the footsteps become clearer and clearer, and even the specific direction can be judged.
"Nine, four on the other side of the ridge, five on this side, the distance is eight hundred meters."
"Nine?"
Hearing Lin Yuan's words, the expressions of Wang Dahu, Chen Er and the others became solemn, "Lord Captain, can you be sure?" ”
"Sure, it's nine, and they don't seem to have spotted us, so they're searching in a straight line."
"Shhh It's not a werewolf assassin, it's a werewolf marksman, Lord Captain, it seems that we have encountered an elite wolf squad this time, such an elite squad is usually equipped with a werewolf assassin or a werewolf marksman, these two classes are very scary, because they don't make any footsteps at all, and it's hard to see their existence, but as long as they make a move, it's a massacre! ”
Wang Dahu's expression was solemn, while the other people also showed a look of horror on their faces.
"What to do? Do you want to take a detour, it's still too late? ”
Suddenly, the step archer Chen Ke trembled.
Hearing this, he didn't know why, Lin Yuan felt that other people's eyes were looking over, not waiting for his reaction, but very weird, as if a reader was looking forward to the turning point of the plot of the novel, and even, Lin Yuan could hear the excited heartbeat of the archer Chen Ke, what does this mean? These reincarnators are actually expecting their own detours!
What happens with the detour? It may be easier, but it may fall into hellish difficulty all of a sudden, and in the end, this daily task two will not be completed!
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan suddenly felt a thrill, and suddenly thought of a possibility, if, if these twelve reincarnators wanted to give up their daily task two at the beginning? What if that's in their best interest?
Think about it, they are cosplayers who have to act according to the plot and lines, and they have no limitations.
Is this a preferential treatment?
No, it's not, it's definitely not that simple!
Suppose you were the protagonist of this procedural world in the eyes of these reincarnations? What will happen?
Nima, it's too confusing?
Be calm, be calm!
Lin Yuan remained silent, his face did not change at all, and he even controlled his heartbeat and breathing strongly, he knew that maybe the truth was in this.
Lin Yuan didn't speak, and the others were also silent, on the surface, Lin Yuan, as the biggest official in the plot, was the one who made the final decision.
So, then! Damn, why is this so messy?
Well, to re-comb it, since these twelve reincarnators are role-playing, they are definitely not the protagonists of the plot, at least for now.
Then, on the other hand, he should be the protagonist in the plot.
And only the protagonist will open the next plot, that is, the second daily task, escort, which is the correct plot.
However, if this is not in the interests of the reincarnators, of course they have to find a way to change the plot, just like on the ship Titanic, if a passenger knows in advance that the ship will crash, then of course they will find a way to maximize their interests, and even change the choice of the protagonist and the direction of the plot for this reason, it is also at their expense!
Therefore, by analogy, if Lin Yuan himself is the protagonist of this plot, and the escort mission he wants to carry out is the main line of the plot!
But if in reality, this escort plot may be very bad, maybe in the end, Lin Yuan, the protagonist in charge of escorting, survived, but the supporting characters who needed to escort died!
This is very possible, otherwise why is there no failure penalty in the second daily mission, and every Chu Army soldier who survives will be rewarded with a little Chaos Rule energy, this doesn't make sense at all!
That is to say, in the real plot, these twelve Chu soldiers are inevitable cannon fodder, they will all die in the escort mission, but their death will trigger the third plot of the protagonist, that is, the optional mission three!
This is also why this daily task three is optional, because once the main plot line is tampered with, this task will certainly not be completed.
In this case, these twelve reincarnators, of course, wanted to change the plot, that is, Lin Yuan gave up escorting them.
Maybe under this choice, the protagonist's fate will be miserable, but who cares, they're just reincarnators, just passers-by in this program world, relatively comparatively, they are their own protagonists!
Got it, got it all!
What's more, Lin Yuan is so sad in his heart! He finally understood why he couldn't communicate with these reincarnators about the virus hunting, and why he seemed to have an advantage!
But actually, there is an advantage of the ball!
It's true that he's the protagonist of the plot in this procedural world, but the problem is that he's also the protagonist he plays, and he's going to die too! For the actors, there is a fart difference between the protagonist and the supporting role!
Lin Yuan was sure that if he dared to deviate from the second daily task, which was this escort mission, he would definitely die, even if it was a safe daily mission world!
Wipe! Wipe! Wipe!
