Chapter 166: The King's Knights
The volunteer wizard serves as cannon fodder, buying enough time for Roman and Joss to successfully evade the siege.
Volunteer wizards do not obey the command, they will only fight with the wind, and if they encounter a difficult defensive battle, eighty percent will run away, so dying here is also the most valuable.
Within a few steps of running, Roman's badge began to flash, which meant that the Academy Alliance had sent a communication request, and after Roman connected, he replied coldly:
"Desperate to fight me, do you think we broke up?"
The voice on the other end of the badge was calm and gentle: "You have misunderstood, Doctor Bird's Beak, this is to liberate thousands of oppressed wizards like you!" ”
After listening to this, Roman said in a cold voice: "Okay, the conversation is over!" ”
After saying that, he cut off the communication and was about to destroy the badge, but was stopped by Joss.
"Wait a minute, Roman seems to have something to say!"
Roman picked up the badge and looked at it, and saw that the badge was still flashing, so he thought for a moment and activated the badge.
"Don't get excited, Doctor Bird's Beak, please listen to us! With our help, the Black Orcs will soon swell to millions and attack your defense.
With your current strength, you can't compete at all, so you have two choices.
One is to ask for help from headquarters, but will they give you reinforcements? They want to use this as a threat to force you to hand over your inheritance!
The second is to ask for our help, you don't have to pay anything, just sign a contract with us, swear allegiance to us, we will solve the disaster for you, and you can use it to ask for merit and reward. ”
After hearing this, Roman sneered: "Hehe... No need to pay? I gave my freedom, and if I promised you, I would have to be subject to you, so I refuse! ”
Emblem said slowly, "You can think about it, in that case, millions of black orcs will flood into your defense area, and you will probably be left alone." ”
Roman snorted coldly and said, "You don't have to worry about it, in short, from now on, we will become enemies completely!" Good bye! ”
With that, the badge slammed to the ground and shattered.
Joss worried, "Roman, are we really going to face a million black orcs alone? If their emotional energy gathers, it will be difficult for us first-level wizards to stop it. ”
Roman shook his head and replied: "Don't worry, we won't fight alone, now that a hostile wizard has appeared, the nature has changed, and if Violet doesn't support it, it can't be justified anyway." ”
Still skeptical, Joss asked, "But... She's always had a problem with us, and it's normal to have some small actions in this, right? ”
Roman nodded: "That's right, he will definitely make small moves, so I can't let him do this, I plan to hand over a message, I got psionic knowledge from the black orcs." ”
Roman intends to exchange his newly acquired psionic knowledge for Violet's reinforcements, and Joss continues to ask after understanding Roman's intentions:
"But your newfound knowledge is not complete, so if you turn it in rashly, will Violet agree?"
Roman smiled slightly: "You don't understand this, it is precisely because of incompleteness that Violet wants to help us kill monsters and strive to obtain complete knowledge." ”
Joss understood, and was shocked, and at the same time lamented, "In this way, our trading channel with the Academy Alliance will be completely cut off..."
Roman looked disdainful: "The role of the Academy Alliance is to collect the Ghost Tears, and now that the Ghost Tears have been collected, just wait for the impurities to be digested and promoted to the second level, so the Academy Alliance is useless, just take this opportunity to break it!" ”
Returning to the defense area, Roman immediately ordered to enter the first level of combat readiness, activate all the witch formations, and at the same time contact Violet, explain the situation, and then ask for help.
Violet said: "Roman~ The other defense areas are safe and fine, but your fourth defense area is asking for reinforcements every three days, and your ability worries me!" ”
This kind of PUA is ineffective against Roman, and he replied without showing weakness: "If you are not satisfied, you can withdraw me, others will resist the natural calamity, and the calamity I resist will have a wizard making trouble every time!" ”
"My enemy is not the Calamity, but the entire Academy Alliance, and I only have the combat power of the defense zone, and the friendly forces are all sitting on the wall, this is murder!"
"Violet, let me tell you, if you don't send reinforcements, I will defect immediately, and before I defect, I will first take a few weighty heads as a vote!"
Roman's words were full of anger, and Violet knew that she couldn't push too much, so she hurriedly reassured:
"What are you doing with so much anger! Who said that they wouldn't send you reinforcements, but to tell you the truth, the headquarters doesn't have much combat power now, and only the gendarmerie can be sent. ”
Roman asked coldly: "Then it is not possible to draw from other defense areas?" ”
Violet shook her head and said, "No, the rotation of combat power must consult the wizard, the greenskin and black orc calamity are not cost-effective, and there are not many people who are willing to come." ”
Roman shook his head and said: "In other words, you have no soldiers to send, then okay, I surrendered to the other side!" ”
"Wait!" Violet hurriedly said:
"I haven't finished speaking, I still have four thousand Extreme Devouring Beasts here, all of them will be sent to you, support them for a while, and then I'll help you think of a way!"
Roman pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "No, it's been delayed for too long, so let's tell you a piece of news, when I killed the black orcs, I got knowledge about psionic energy, if you rescue in time, I will hand over the knowledge, how about it?" ”
Violet asked, and immediately said, "Can you tell us more about it?" The more detailed, the more attention is paid to the top, and the faster the reinforcements will arrive. ”
Roman said: "It's about preparing a witch array with a high concentration of spiritual energy, I haven't got complete knowledge yet, so I can only tell you a broken witch array. ”
After that, Roman teleported the Broken Formation Diagram, Violet took it, her breath was suddenly short, and she said:
"It's indeed the Psionic Witch Array, I understand, reinforcements will arrive soon, to help you repel the calamity, in exchange, you need to hand over the complete Witch Array afterwards."
Roman smiled helplessly, nodded in agreement, and then turned off the communication.
Joss said with a look of disgust: "This is also too hateful, to help repel the catastrophe?" Isn't that what they're supposed to do? The Holy Spirit Temple is so shameless! ”
Roman smiled with relief: "All organizations are like this, full of two words - cannibalism, so we must continue to get stronger, get rid of the shackles of the organization, and have the right to refuse!" ”
Then, he took a deep breath: "Any world is the Other, that is, hell, and independence is the only way to be truly free!" ”
Roman lost his mind for a moment, and Joss hugged him from behind and whispered:
"I'm not going to be Roman's hell, so Roman must not abandon me, or I'll make you regret it!"
Roman smiled when he heard this, and said, "Of course not, Josie! ”
But deep down there are different words: "What kind of freedom is there without the right to refuse?" ”
Reinforcements came sooner than Roman had imagined, and in just a few days, more than a hundred Knights of the Rings arrived at the defense area, dressed in robes and armor with a crown emblem on them.
Roman quickly searched his memory and immediately knew the origin of this group of people, they were the king's direct troops, the Knights of the Guard.
Different from ordinary Ring Knights, the King's Knights all sealed the Ancient Devouring Beasts, so their combat power is stronger than that of ordinary Ring Knights, and they are between first-level and second-level wizards.
If Roman is against them, at most he will single out one or two at the same time, and if the whole team presses them, Roman will only have to run away.
With this group of new forces joining, plus Violet's thousands of Extreme Devouring Beasts, Roman has a lot of confidence.
The first of the Knights of Kings walked towards Roman, took out an order, and said, "Now I will take over all affairs in the defense area, including you, Romance Wizard!" ”
Roman nodded and replied: "No problem, as long as you don't let me die, the rest is up to you." ”
The so-called command, Roman doesn't care, the wizard's power belongs to himself, and the worldly power is nothing but things outside the body.
Just in case, before reinforcements arrived, Roman took the first step to let Joss hide and go underground to work, and in case of an accident, he would pick up Roman and run away.
Joss is a volunteer wizard and has the freedom to choose her zone.
After Roman handed over the command, the leader of the king's knights explained with a smile: "Don't worry, you are the king's valued person, and I won't let you die, by the way, my name is Claire, the leader of the knights!" ”
In Roman's observation, Claire exuded second-level wizard fluctuations, and Roman was killed in seconds when he faced him.
So, Roman lowered his posture and said, "My name is Roman, if there is anything that needs to be done by me, just ask!" ”
Klell nodded and said approvingly: "The king appreciates your attitude and gives your valuable knowledge for free, but don't worry, the king will not let you pay in vain, and will give you something in return!" ”
Roman hurriedly thanked him, not expecting the reward in his heart, what he wanted, Wang Ke couldn't afford it.
After the politeness, Claire issued a general mobilization order, bringing all forces in the defense area into the command system, including volunteer wizards.
Roman's face changed, and he hurriedly ordered Joss to run away to other defense areas, and persuaded:
"Captain Claire, direct wizards and knights of the Ringring are easy to say, but according to the contract, we have no right to order volunteer wizards, they have the right to fight freely."
Claire said disdainfully: "You have no power, but we have it, leave it to us!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Roman was anxious and hoped that Joss would go quickly.
On the other side, Joss received Roman's signal and began to run away without stopping, but it was still a step too late, and Claire expected this and blocked the border of the defense zone.
As soon as Joss arrived at the border, she was immediately confronted by two ring-ring knights who blocked the way, and the other party scolded: "The defense area is now under martial law, only enter and exit, hurry back!" ”
Joss said with a gloomy face: "I am a volunteer wizard and have the right to fight freely, and you have no right to stop me from leaving the defense zone." ”
At this time, Roman said: "Joss, leave him alone, just kill him!" ”
At this time, the ringing knight who blocked the road sneered and replied: "We are also ordered to do things, seeing that you are very beautiful, you can go out if you want, just serve the uncle and me comfortably..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was swept away by a strong wind pressure and sucked into the wind pocket.
Joss sighed and said, "Is the new chief so domineering! ”
Roman smiled: "Isn't it... The new official has three fires in office, as long as it doesn't affect us, let him toss! ”
The next day, the King's Knights took Roman to attack the Black Orcs, and before leaving, Clar asked:
"Roman, what is the completeness of psionic knowledge now?"
Roman replied honestly: "About twenty percent." ”
In fact, the completeness has reached forty percent, but if you tell the truth, the number of kills allocated will be reduced.
Not only does Roman need knowledge to improve completeness, but Joss also needs it.
From the Black Orcs, Roman gains psionic knowledge, and Joss also learns how to make harmless mutants.
As her right-hand man, Joss cooperates with Roman's various strategies, and Roman must take care of her interests.
Maybe it's Josie's business whether she wants it or not, and whether Roman gives it or not is Roman's business, and he will never exchange loyalty for petty profits.
At the end of the day, Roman cherishes Josie's loyalty, so he will look after her interests as much as possible.
So he deliberately lowered the completeness of his knowledge, so that in order to ensure that he obtained complete psionic knowledge, Krair would give more kills.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
Klell said that he understood, and said to Roman: "You don't have to participate in the next battle, stay by my side, and we will capture the black orcs and kill you." ”
Roman immediately agreed, the command is not in his hands, even if he loses, it has nothing to do with him, and Roman has important knowledge and must ensure safety.
So he doesn't have to go to the battlefield, he just needs to kill prisoners after the war and absorb knowledge.
With such a lying and winning arrangement, Roman's heart was dark.
The battle started quickly, and compared to the last time, the fourth defense zone attack was larger in scale and stronger in combat power, so he still used the strategy of frontal attack knowing that the black orcs had wizard assistance.
In this battle, Roman finally saw the full power of the Orc Calamity.
“waaaagh!
! ”
Millions of orcs swept towards the wizards like a black tide, and on the opposite side, dozens of wizards, two hundred ring-knights, and nearly 10,000 devouring beasts were waiting for them.
At the order of the Ringwring Knight, the Eater leaped out of the line and launched a counter-charge at the Black Orcs, followed by the wizards, acting as an automatic turret and firing their sorcery.
The two sides are like thunder and fire, fierce fighting and collision, black orcs slashing with knives and axes, devouring beasts absorbing life essence in a large area, and constantly falling on a large scale of witchcraft, causing huge damage to the orcs.
Roman and Claire stood in the rear, Roman frowned and said, "If it goes on like this, we will lose very quickly." ”
As soon as the words fell, the shaman accumulated enough waaaagh energy to make a big move, and trampled on a large number of devouring beasts.
Immediately after that, Brother Mao's iron fist fell heavily on the wizard phalanx, and in an instant, several wizards' shields shattered and were smashed into a piece of meat sauce.
Roman had been harassing and guerrilla in order to avoid this, and once he had accumulated enough waaaagh energy for the shaman, he would be able to cast a powerful sorcery that could instantly kill any wizard.
One blow away from the war, can effectively prevent the collection of waaaagh energy, waaaagh energy has a shelf life, once the orc's fighting intent subsides, this energy will dissipate.
And now that Krair is fighting positional warfare, he has given the shaman time to accumulate waaaagh energy and put himself in a disadvantageous position.
But Klell was not in a hurry at all, and smiled at Roman: "Look at it, the true strength of our King's Knights!" ”
