Ryan pulled Seres in a circle with the hydra in the cursed swamp, because of the presence of Serres, a guide who was familiar with the cursed swamp, Ryan and the others easily avoided those dangerous places, and repeatedly passed through the cracks of several powerful monster territories, but the hydra crashed into the territory of other monsters without any worries, and then easily tore those monsters that tried to challenge it to pieces.

After a fourth circle, Ryan and Seres suddenly found that as long as they stayed away from the lake in the center of the Cursed Swamp, the Hydra would slow down its pursuit, which relieved Ryan that since Adela and their camp was north of the Cursed Swamp, Ryan pulled Serres south to exit the swamp, and the Hydra gave up the pursuit after about a few kilometers away from the Cursed Lake and returned to the bottom of the lake to lurk.

Finally got rid of the pursuit of the hydra, Ryan stood down and wiped his sweat with relief, it was the first time in his life that he was chased by a demonic beast so embarrassed, but after all, the other party was a level 9 ancient demonic beast, which is nothing to be ashamed of, on the contrary, many people can escape under the claws of such a demonic beast, and they will show off with relish for a lifetime.

"This guy doesn't leave his lair. Ryan sat on the ground and drank water as he said to Serres, "It's a good thing you kept your senses and didn't let me lead that guy away from diving to catch something, otherwise I'd have hit him headlong now." ”

"Do you think I'm a fool?" said Serres, "I can only feel the general direction, but the exact location will have to be found slowly." I'm not very familiar with water, so I rushed down ......."

"Alright, let's not talk about that. Ryan picked up his water bladder and motioned to Serres, who shook his head, took out a small bladder of his own, and took a small sip. Ryan put away the water bladder and said to Serres, "Rest a little longer, let's go back and don't let them worry." ”

"Good. "Seres naturally obeys Ryan's orders.

"Although we are embarrassed this time, it doesn't mean that we can't do anything about it. Ryan thought as he tried to balance out his breath, "It's huge, but it's slow, we can consider bombarding it with a lot of magic, or using a ballista ......"

"That's not realistic, Fabia. "There aren't many magicians in the first place, and Hydra is too strong to recover. ”

"That's not necessarily!" Ryan smiled confidently, he still had a full plan in mind: "My plan is this, I can gather tens of thousands of troops and make a large number of ballistas, and the rest of the warriors are archers, we don't fight it in close combat." The mage was responsible for blessing the warriors with auxiliary magic, the priest was responsible for saving the wounded, and I was leading a few of the stronger men to confront the Hydra head-on. ”

"Ah......" Serres was frightened by Ryan's plan, he didn't expect Ryan to put on such a big battle in order to help him kill the Hydra.

"10 fighters are enough to take charge of a ballista, 5000 fighters is 500 cars, hehe, this must be very pleasant, not to mention thousands of shooters. Ryan told Seres about his plan: "I'll lead a few strong companions to hold down the Hydra and leave it useless. In the face of such powerful firepower, I don't believe that Hydra's recovery ability is as fast as our destruction. ”

"But, as soon as Hydra rushes up, won't our ballista be finished?" Aren't those bulky guys able to drag them away quickly?" said Serres, following Ryan's usual hand-spreading stance, "unless we can destroy Hydra within the first few waves of attacks, ......"

"Who said you should be so harsh?" Ryan smiled mysteriously, he picked up a dry branch at random and drew it on the dirt, "This is the lake, the Hydra's range of movement is about 4 to 5 kilometers away, and we have set up an ambush position nearby in advance, and made a large spike trap, this three-meter-long thing covered with barbs is very easy to make. Okay, now we need to lure it over, and once it's encircled, we can use earth magic to make the dirt beneath its feet soften, its massive body is bound to be passive, and we have plenty of time to hit a live target. ”

"Of course this is just the best scenario of the whole plan, maybe Hydra will soon be free from our shackles, so we need magicians to bombard it with magic in turn...... We still need to work on the details, after all, we're going to slaughter an ancient beast, not an edelweiss rabbit, right?"

"What you say, it sounds like ...... Not bad. Serres said, "When are we going to do it?"

"Well, it depends on whether our previous preparations go well. Ryan pointed his fingers and said, "5000 shooters, this should be cultivated slowly, right?"

"I can come here. Serres said preemptively.

"That's good. Seeing that Seres had taken the bait, Ryan continued, "There are also ballistas, the cost of which takes time to raise, and the training of soldiers, which requires a lot of energy. ”

Serres nodded with a grimace.

"And the magician, the priest, and a few of my friends, they can't be found in a few days, right?" said Ryan, "So, the top priority now is to go to the imperial capital first." ”

"Why? ”

"Of course, I have to complete my plan first, as long as my plan is completed, I can even directly invite the Royal Knights to help, I think you must have heard of the name of the Royal Knights, right?"

"Of course. Seres said, "A powerful order of knights who fought alongside Lord Lunaris 200 years ago. ”

"Well, you may not know my identity, but as long as my plan can be completed, I can get the support of the entire imperial capital, and what I just said can be done in a very short time. If not, we will have to slowly accumulate strength in the small place of Cassano, and this time will drag on for a long time. ”

Seres tilted his head and thought for a long time, then suddenly said, "Why does it sound like I've fallen for you?"

"Oh no. Ryan shook his head and said, "I'll help you, you help me, isn't that fair? If my strength can easily kill a hydra, I will definitely not be stingy with my mana." Obviously, I can't. So I have to rely on the strength of other people, and in the same way, if I help him, he helps me, I have to give some ...... first."

"Stop, stop!" Seres waved his hand and said, "I don't want to hear this, I just need you to do one thing now, which is to help me slaughter this Hydra and then get back the Song of Soul Suppression, as for what you want to do, you just ask, and I will do it." ”

"That's good. Ryan stood up, and he stretched out his hand to Serres, who was also sitting on the ground, and said, "Now we carry out the first step of the whole 'snake-slaughtering' plan. ”

"Ah, what's that?"

"Go home!" Ryan said with a smile, "and when we come back, it's the last step of the whole plan." ”
