Chapter 35: Entangled Thoughts
Monster Martin chewed on the term. I don't know how to think back to the beginning, it seems like a long time ago, he attacked the castle of the black robe with Liukrisia, and in the middle of the battle, he shouted, "Are the black robed Bul's men monsters?"www.biquge.info
Somehow. He suddenly felt that one day he would shout "But, XXX is crying." Something like that.
But he shook his head sharply, tossing the thoughts aside. Now is not the time to think about that.
"What kind of monster?" asked Martin.
This is important, goblins are monsters, and so are hundred-armed giants.
"Mostly trolls and ogres. Natasha replied. "But fully armed!"
Originally, for people of Martin's level, trolls and ogres were not terrible. Perhaps for ordinary people, trolls with super regenerative abilities and fierce ogres with infinite strength and temperament are too terrifying. But for Martin, who has extraordinary abilities, those are like chickens and dogs. He can sweep away a tribe by himself, not to mention having friends around.
But now the situation is different, Natasha points out, and those monsters are armed.
Originally, giants like trolls and ogres were already powerful just by fighting with their own bodies. It would be even worse if they were armed again. It's like a human being with bare hands can't even beat a wolf. But when fully armed, he can fight leopards. The impact of weapons on combat is very large. The so-called knife is not in the sky and on the ground, no matter how high the kung fu is, I am afraid of the kitchen knife.
If hordes of spear-wielding primitives can still besiege mammoths, then the monsters that are armed will have stronger combat effectiveness.
Moreover, this type of monster generally does not get any equipment. Swords and the like may be snatched from humans. But unless someone specifically helps, it's hard for a troll to get the armor that fits their size. Trolls are much taller than humans.
This means that there are "people" behind the monsters. It's okay to deal with monsters, but if there is a force behind the monster to help, the situation will be very different.
Martin will not forget the goblin soldiers he saw in the castle of the black-robed Bull, they were well-trained and morale-high, far beyond the average wild goblin.
What's more, those forces tend to be cunning. It's far more difficult to deal with than a monster that's ferocious but has a tendon.
In fact, Martin now guessed if the Earl had brought in the monsters.
After quickly dressing and jumping, Martin suddenly stood on the roof, staring at the monster in the distance. Those monsters are distinctly different from normal trolls and ogres. Didn't scream and drool. Rather, it is observing, seemingly, still laying out tactics.
There was a crawling sound around me. Martin didn't have to look to know that it was Natasha who had climbed up. She doesn't have Martin's skills, and her movements are rougher. However, for a fighter of this level, climbing up is also a trivial matter. After standing still, Natasha stared closely at the monster in the distance and whispered, "It's very different from the usual." β
Martin chanted the incantation and gestured to summon the Global Eagle. Huge birds of prey flapped their wings and soared. Natasha is a nomad and has a notoriously sharp gaze. Martin was inferior to her in this regard, unable to see the details of the monster in the distance. Still rely on summons.
It's a mess down there. Presumably, everyone else also knew the news of the monster attack and was making preparations. This is the Northland, which is famous for its fierce people. The villagers were full of composure, and Martin even noticed that some of them were full of excitement, as if they couldn't wait to fight the monsters.
The clanging of metal clashed into each other. This is the villagers arming themselves. Even if the people are brave and good at fighting, after all, people still have to rely on equipment to fight monsters. Fighting tigers still need military coats.
The villagers' equipment turned out to be good. Most people can wear iron armor - albeit only chain mail. And the rest can also wear a collar of leather armor. The guys in his hands were all well made, some of them were fine, and Martin even caught a glimpse of magic weapons.
The strength of these villagers' self-defense forces is quite good. Martin knew that they could compare to the regular armies in some areas. However, they still needed the protection of the northern army in the dwelling in the fortress. It's not a lie that the Northland is dangerous.
Martin jumped out of the house, and the captain of the Northern Army immediately walked over. Ask Martin for instructions.
As a member of the Northern Army, he originally had the responsibility of defending the land and protecting the people. In this case, of course, you have to step up. What's more, he is also familiar with many people in this village and is friends.
But at this moment, he had to obey Martin's orders, because the commander had clearly emphasized this point to him before he set out. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders, and even if Martin orders him to flee immediately, he must obey orders.
In fact, against these monsters, Martin is not frightened. Even if the other party was heavily armed and perhaps even trained, Martin and the rest of the people around him, plus the members of the Northern Army, would be enough to deal with it. What's more, there are also a large number of Northland militia to help.
The key is the people behind the monster. If this was the Earl's trick, it wouldn't be that simple. After all, Martin fought against him. He knew the strength of Martin's group. It's not something that can be solved by simply arming a bunch of monsters.
So, a good solution is to escape. Flee as soon as possible and don't give the enemy a chance to play tricks.
"What do you think?" Martin asked his teammates.
Zari made her objections clear. Of course, the dark elves are not afraid of combat, but on the other hand, the selfish Zari does not want to get involved in such a battle that has nothing to do with her. Natasha thrust her spear into the ground and said easily, "If you say it, I'll do it." Shirley was expressionless and completely unremarkable. As for Sophia, does she need to say? Martin could have guessed it before. She is naturally willing to protect others, even if she sacrifices herself for it.
But Sophia didn't say anything. She's not stupid. guessed that the play in front of me was probably caused by her. With her position, it's really complicated. Although she tried to restrain herself, for a moment, there were so many expressions in her eyes that Martin couldn't help but sigh. There are grievances, hesitations, and resoluteness. And blame yourself, disgust yourself. And hatred of the enemy...... There are too many feelings that Martin can't see.
Yes, in Sophia's case, it's really hard to make a choice. With her kind nature, with her status as a paladin. Naturally, it is necessary to protect the villagers in the face of this group of monsters. However, that is again a disadvantageous option for Martin. It is likely that the Count will have a back hand in this monster attack to Martin's detriment. Martin, is the person she likes. And he is also the one who rescues her, shelters her, accepts her, trusts her, enlightens her, and cares for her. And how long have these villagers only been together? What's more, Martin has already influenced the mission for her more than once. Is she going to continue to cause trouble for Martin?
Martin didn't hide it from them. Sophia knew the significance of Martin's mission. I can also guess the girl's place in Martin's heart. This makes it particularly difficult for her to make decisions.
She secretly made a decision to choose to let Martin and the others go first, and she was left alone to help the villagers resist. It seems that this is the most perfect solution, and Martin and the others will not be delayed in their journey and fall for the enemy's tricks. The villagers were also helped. What's more, he can take this opportunity to leave the team openly.
Of course, she is very reluctant to Martin, but she also feels that if she doesn't drag Martin down like this, maybe she can contribute to Martin.
Sophia's heart still has an inferiority complex.
And what Martin was thinking at this time was what Liukrisia would do?
She would definitely choose to stay and help the villagers. Martin thinks so. Lyukrixia is petite and thin. But there is a strong will. Martin couldn't forget how Lyuklixia had risked her life to save him in the castle of Black-robed Bull. And Martin believes that if it were someone else, Liukrisa would choose to help and rescue.
Martin glanced at Sophia again.
Dogs need to be outside and carry out so-called dog walking. If you don't, you'll probably be going to drive the dog crazy. It is said that when a group of dogs who have not been out for a long time observe even the slightest movement of a person, hoping that this is the performance of taking them out for a walk. Few mild-mannered people can withstand such an urgent plea from the eyes.
How could Martin not feel Sophia's desire to fight? Didn't he notice that Sophia had grasped the hilt of the sword with a slightly trembling hand, and had already pulled out the sword. However, he didn't know the details of Sophie's ** feeling. I don't know that Sophia is a little self-defeating and wants to stay. And even if he knew, Martin wouldn't give up on her. Just as he had chosen to shelter the Earl's army before.
So Martin gave a simple order: "We are ready to fight, and we will fight here!"

I once found a place where I could download famous books in batches and downloaded some novels to read. Suddenly, I regained the feeling I had when I was in college, reading famous novels. The French novelists of the 19th century were really good. It's so vivid and detailed to read. Nowadays, online novels and the like can't be compared at all. Especially the portrayal of people. That's something I can learn from. I wrote something for literary people to see, and they pointed out a lot of problems. For example, the characters in my novels are the same. Whoever speaks is like that. That's a problem indeed. If you lack life accumulation, it is easy and easy to write fantasy and other themes. From this point of view, it is a trick to write fantasy, and conversely, fantasy readers will not be able to appreciate such details. And in this way, the literary nature of fantasy is indeed a problem. Even works such as "A Song of Ice and Fire", which have recently become quite famous. In my opinion, I was also beaten by the French writers of the 19th century.
I also downloaded the old game Battle of Korea to play. I also feel that I can't waste my time. Try to teach yourself PS. Progress is slow and self-discipline is insufficient. Especially recently, the network signal has been better again. I almost forced myself to watch "The Witch's Mission", and continued to make up "Avatar Story" and "Accelerate the World". To be honest, I really don't have the feeling of watching anime in the past. I also tried to make up the movie, and it went much smoother. After watching "District 9".
In terms of comics, "The Sky is the Red River Bank" stopped at the beginning. But "100% Psionic Energy" and "Uncle Demon World" were read in one go. Although the Japanese manga artist is very poor in drawing, he really has a good way of telling stories.
It's been a warm winter this year, and there are a lot fewer opportunities for ice skating. And the waist is not very comfortable.
