Despite being in a relatively safe area, Old Tom didn't dare to take it lightly.

After a dozen days of travel, the team's resistance to risk has become weaker and weaker. If it weren't for the fact that he met a few travelers who were suspected of being adventurers on the road, his team would have been reduced by a third.

Among them, a swordsman named Marcus is the most powerful. Thinking of this, his eyes couldn't help but look at a carriage at the front of the convoy, where a swordsman named Marcus was sitting.

The other party is a traveler he meets in the town of Shining Gold, who calls himself Marcus and is on his way to Red Ridge Mountain. After verifying the identity of the other party, Old Tom accepted a few silver coins according to the rules, and let him set off with the other caravan.

However, it was such an ordinary-looking traveler who saved the convoy twice. The other party seemed to have a special interest in killing the attackers, and with a clean sword skill, he killed dozens of gnolls and wild wolves along the way, pulling the convoy back from the brink of collapse at a critical moment.

It was for this reason that old Tom returned the original amount of the silver coins to the other party, and invited him from the donkey to the carriage, and with all kinds of courtesy, he paid the other party two gold coins in return.

The money was well paid, not to mention that Mr. Marcus was lazy most of the time, and he never lost the night, but his superb swordsmanship ensured that he had the most kills in each attack of the convoy, accounting for almost a third of the results.

Despite this, the losses of the convoy along the way were quite heavy.

As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but shout loudly: "Work harder...... harder"

The convoy moved slowly until it was dusk, and finally arrived at Lakeside Town.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the wooden walls and fences are not high, but they still give people a sense of reassurance.

"Lakeside Town has arrived, goodbye Mr. Tom. ”

Just as the caravan was about to reach its destination, Marcus left the carriage to bid farewell to the caravan's principal.

"What a pity, Mr. Marcus, don't you go into town to fix it?"

Marcus spread his hands when he heard this: "This is the end of the caravan's journey, but mine is not yet. ”

"Oh, can I have the privilege of knowing Mr. Marcus's destination?"

"Stone Fort Fortress, in fact, I am an officer of the kingdom, and I have come to the fortress to report this time. Marcus said, pulling out an iron helmet and strapping it around his head, mounted the cheap donkey he had bought from some profiteer in Shining Gold, waved at Old Tom, and staggered in the other direction, and soon disappeared from the caravan's view.

————————————

The greater of the two moons of Azeroth is the one that rises first tonight. Under the silvery moonlight, the dangers lurking in this land gradually began to increase.

The wolf's howl sounded suddenly, combined with the green eyes that flashed like a ghostly fire, which was terrifying.

"Wolves?" Marcus took advantage of the moonlight to spot the approaching uninvited guest, his face solemn, and he clenched the long sword in his hand.

What appeared in front of him was a pack of giant wolves! It's just that this group of wolves is much dirtier than their kind, their bodies are also thin, and most importantly, their stomachs are very deflated, and their claws and fangs are still strong.

"Today, Lao Tzu's character value is really nothing to say, and I don't know if the map of the royal capital has not been updated or the error is big, I have been looking for the map for so long, even the donkey has been killed, and I haven't found the Jiguang Sentinel Tower that is only four miles away from the lakeside town. I actually ran into a group of wild wolves when I was about to camp, and I don't know how long I haven't eaten enough...... It's not the most combat-ready, but it's definitely the most troublesome. ”

Marcus was very sad about his luck: "Come on!"

He sighed, holding a long sword in one hand and a square shield in the other, and lowered his body slightly, looking at his opponent vigilantly.

"Woo ......"

There was another whimper from the wolf's mouth, and the wolves immediately dispersed and distributed around Marcus, surrounding him. They roared demonstratively, trying to intimidate Marcus. Once the prey runs away in fear, the wolves can follow, allowing the prey to waste their energy on escaping while they safely pounce on the prey from behind.

"Whew!"

After a short period of confrontation, Marcus still maintained a defensive posture and did not take the initiative to attack, perhaps impatient or panicked, the head wolf howled, and five or six wolves pounced from different directions, and launched an attack with tacit cooperation.

Marcus silently launched the [Heavy Attack] with his shield, and then leaned forward with his body, dodged the pounces of several wolves, turned around and slashed horizontally, and had already used another skill of the Paladin in Nephilim Legend 2, the [Sacrifice] of lv20. Sacrifice at this level can add 465% damage, as well as a hit modifier with a maximum action amplitude of 153%, in addition to allowing yourself to also take a heavy hit of 8% of the final damage - this data is not low, after all, the simple [sacrifice] is equivalent to the effect of actually using 5.65 times the strength, and with the [Strength Aura] (+230%) turned on, the final damage of [Sacrifice] will be increased by 3.3 times, that is, 18.645 times - it can't be more demanding.

The long sword made a graceful arc in mid-air, turning the two wolves into four knots in a straight way. Marcus, who was hurt and devoured, snorted, kept moving his hands, and with the idea of slashing the opponent's neck, he swung a sword at will. Under the skill effect of [Sacrifice], the landing point of the longsword was corrected by extraordinary strength, and it easily slashed the neck of the other wolf, slicing the tough thick fur and hard bones together.

However, before the wolf's head hit the ground, there were already two strong winds rushing from behind, with a fishy beastly smell. It's a pity that under the effect of the skill - it is in vain that he feeds the experience in the experience pool to the skill first, suppressing his level to gain more experience - he is not at all fierce in killing the wolf with his body. When he was in danger, he calmly and flexibly drew his sword and shield backwards to block with [Heavy Blow]!

This time, he was knocked two steps forward.

Bang!

The two wolves, who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, hit their heads on the shield and bled out, and like the wolf at the beginning, they fell into a dizziness. Marcus turned around and stabbed the giant wolf who was the first to be controlled by the heavy blow, and then he twisted his wrist and slashed the two more with his sword.

At this point, his breathing began to become heavy. It's not that the physical exertion is too great, but it's purely because of the [sacrifice]'s backlash - when a person is nervous, he will exert too much force, and he actually suffers a sword wound caused by almost 1.5 times the effect of his own force......
