Demon Lord Chapter-22 "The Attack In The Darkness I"

   Although Roddy wandered alone around the continent before crossing, but he was known by countless people.     Miss Sally in front of him was young and obviously not yet an adult. But just a few words made Roddy understand that the other party was definitely not a naive and simple girl. It can even be said that the other party's behaviour can already be called a standard aristocrat-the kind that is clever, greedy and not willing to suffer a loss.     Speaking of which, including Soderol, it was indeed a headache for Roddy to meet two such smart people one after another.     He didn't like the feeling that things couldn't be controlled in his own hands, but in this vast world, he was not the only one who thought he was clever. In the face of Sally's problem, Roddy quickly recited what he had said to Soderol before and waited for other's response.     Speaking of which, in his memor...

Demon Lord Chapter-8 "Orc Campsite"



If you cannot make money, no matter where you are, you won’t live well. While frowning and thinking about how to make money in this remote country, he carefully screened the remaining suitable wooden arrows for use.
 
    The straightness, hardness, length, and center of gravity of each arrow were not the same. For Roddy, who has good archery skills, the realm of archery was naturally beyond the imagination of ordinary scouts. At this time, while holding the file brought by Dick, he fine-tuned the selected remaining thirty arrows...

    After grinding the slot at the tail of each arrow to a uniform width, he began to test all these arrows once more. Roddy's shooting distance was changed to forty meters. Every time he fired an arrow, he fixed it for a while. He seemed to be thinking about it. Thirty arrows were fired in three groups. Every time he pulled an arrow, a faint trace was carved into the tail of these arrows.

    These movements made Dick standing aside curious, but finally resisted the intention of asking. After Roddy changed that piece of worn leather armor to simple finger guards, the scout team in the distance had prepared to set off.

    Returning the remaining arrows to Dick, Roddy smiled, carrying his horn bow and those thirty arrows and walked towards his horse. Captain Carter saw Roddy with a slightly different attitude than before. At this moment, he no longer puts on a captain's air. The meaning of warmth in words was obvious, almost making people think that he and Roddy are scout captains. However, Roddy was not interested in being too polite with him. He just listened carefully to Carter's subsequent assignments.

    "It was very sudden yesterday when we were attacked by orcs. Although we... won, we also paid a bitter price. The second lieutenant Sordin has reported to Houllier City. I think the number of scouts will definitely be expanded within a few days, but to ensure that the damn orcs have not penetrated the border, today... we will conduct a large-scale investigation.”

    Speaking of which, Carter's behavior has been regarded as "dutiful." Although he is not good at martial arts, his mind has not deviated from the right path-compared to those who sold the country to seek honor and glory in Roddy's later generations. You must know that this country has been weak for a long time, the lords and nobles have their own policies and the great land belonging to the kings are even less than a quarter. The rest are divided up by the lords and the resulting internal fighting has rarely stopped.

    The demise of Karen's kingdom in Roddy's memory was because this group of noble lords did not forget to stump each other when facing orc attacks and eventually were defeated by orcs, resulting in the end of 90% of the old family.

    Words came from Captain Carter one after another, and Roddy woke up from his memories, raised his head and listened to the captain's serious explanation of the investigation direction: "Twenty kilometers west of Nolan Village, it is confirmed that it is safe. After the noon break, we will continue to go west for ten kilometers. "

  “Captain... not there-- " Several scouts’ face changed and immediately asked questions, but was interrupted by Carter.

    "I know it's a neutral area, and you don't need to be responsible for any accidents. But now that these damn orcs can approach our borders, we must make them pay with blood!"

    Although Carter's impression of all scouts was not any better, the dead soldiers’ death still had a great impact on him. Although Carter was not strong enough, he faced difficulties with such enthusiasm if the orcs invade the border and related to the honor of the lord. This actually surprised Roddy!

    As for the royal family of the Karen Kingdom, these scouts are mostly insensible, but to the Duke of Lucifron, the soldiers adhere to the most basic principle of loyalty. Compared to the era where Roddy once lived, this was the most significant difference.

    In a society similar to medieval Europe, there is no such thing as sovereignty among people. Most people... For example, all the villagers in Nolan Village are the "property" of the lord, the lord provides asylum, and the villagers provide taxes and soldiers during the war. At this time, Roddy's scout team were a team of private soldier loyal to the family of the Duke of Lucifron.

    Although it is not easy to accept such a concept, Roddy has been used to this game for a long time. At this time, the members of the team heard Carter's words and they were aroused by the words.

    Listening to these young a bitter smile arose from the corner of Roddy's mouth.

    The Kingdom of Karen ... In the "Cracked Earth", it was regarded as an old man in the human kingdoms. It was established by the "Conqueror Conn" 70 years ago. At that time, the royal force was overwhelming even when the orcs, undead, were creating panic. But since then, the country has gradually begun to decline, the power of the nobles has become lesser and lesser, and the power of the royal family has dramatically decreased. Many of the lords had dragged the country into the quagmire of civil strife and the people at the bottom were the most miserable...

    It was just that the people of the Karen Kingdom always had a bloody nature that they will never lose. It was this bloody nature that helped the kingdom surrounded by the two forces of Orcs and Undead to resist. Even though the kingdom has gradually fallen into a weak position, but it has always stood straight in the face of threats...

    Although Roddy was only in-game, he had witnessed it for seven years. The unyielding and decisiveness shown by countless people when this big kingdom fell apart, witnessed the sacrifice of countless people and saw the changes. The unremitting efforts of those who drifted like a cloud of smoke for this country...

    Although it was just a game because it was too realistic, it stood in Roddy's heart forever and has become one of the reasons he accepts scouting status without complaining at this moment.

    "Did you understand the mission?"

    Captain Carter's words brought Roddy back from the chaotic thoughts. He immediately replied loudly, like all the players beside him, "I see, Captain!"

    "Then start." Carter adjusted his military uniform and warhorse equipment, and signaled the two scout teams to set off immediately.

    A seven-member reconnaissance team immediately rushed out of Nolan Village with warhorses and began the first large-scale long-range investigation. After launching, Captain Carter did not forget to turn back to Roddy and said, " The position for the deputy captain of the team is now vacant. If I die, you will lead the remaining people to continue. "

    These words were abrupt, but the next few players involved in yesterday's battle were also silent. Roddy held the reins for a moment because of his thoughtful hesitation then nodded, but for some reason he added some words at the end to himself:

    "For the glory of Karen."

This sentence made Captain Carter immediately feel his eyes getting wet.

    Peace had lasted too long and people had long forgotten about the ferocious orcs on the other side of the prairie. Carter did the same, but it was only yesterday that he suddenly realized that the war never went away ... and he seems to have embarked on this road to defend the dignity of the country today.

    Will he die? Perhaps.

    Will he regret it? No.

    Putting his hands on his chest, Captain Carter solemnly made a military salute and whispered quietly: "For the glory of Karen!" The team moved forward in silence and the sound of horseshoes echoed on the open grassland.

    .....

    At noon, the sun was shining.

    In April, the temperature was increasing. On the endless Nashimia prairie, warhorses could occasionally be seen bouncing and disappearing in caves full of ground. Eagles were circling in the sky.

    Everything seemed quiet and secure, as the scout team had seen this scene for ten years.

    However, at noon when the team stopped for drinking and resting, Roddy, who always seemed a little silent, knew that the danger was coming.

    Through his memory of the game and the memory of "Roddy", he has analyzed his position at this moment and the distance between the most marginal villages of the orc territory.

    It's still two years before the "Cracked Earth" starts. Most of the human players born in the Karen Kingdom in the future will be located in novice areas like Nolan Village. At that time, it was not unusual for the border to encounter orcs. There were various missions released in Village, allowing players to scramble to complete them. It now appears that although these green-skinned barbarians have not yet spread to that point, yesterday's fighting experience has proved that the other party has taken action.

    At this point, the team had completed the 20-kilometer inspection task. After the horses had rested, they would continue to investigate to the northwest of the border. In Roddy's memory, after two more grassland slopes in front, they should be in the area established by orcs. The three sentry towers here are the forefront supply stations for those orc scouts and skirmishers and are regarded by the Karen Kingdom as "orcs trying to bite the empire tooth".

    But these sentry towers ... do they exist now?

    Judging from the orc attack on the scout team, Roddy can determine that these guys must have a stronghold nearby, but as to whether the sentry tower he is in the impression needs further confirmation.

    He looked at the weapon on his equipment bar—the short sword with an attack power of 1-2 can almost be ignored. This broken equipment is not worthy of attack power. At this time, heavy weapons are completely dismissive of this kind of "toy" that can't stand up.

    Roddy's last life spanned 30 levels for Rangers and approached 60 levels indefinitely. This can already be seen that his talent is by no means empty talk.

    At this moment, the damage of the Horn bow in the hand was already the leader in level 1 long-range equipment. With the additional damage +1 arrow, once he hits the head, Roddy can be sure that his critical strike value can cause huge damage of more than 100. The damage in "Cracked Earth" fluctuates greatly. It is by no means an ordinary online game that cuts the blood according to the value of the panel. A single arrow shot through the head often floats up ten times and sometimes even the blood did not buckle.

    So from a certain point of view, the simple attribute of absolute strength does not represent a person's strength, but more importantly, his own skills.

    Thinking of those marked arrows, Roddy, who once had the title of "Shadow Hunter" at level 59, was at ease and he thought carefully when to get the equipment in hand.

    "Guys, get ready to go."

    Captain Carter ended his break at an appropriate time. The scouts set up their weapons and turned to their horses. A group of seven continued to march towards the border of the orc kingdom on the west side. It was the "central buffer zone" at the border between the Orc Kingdom and the Karen Kingdom-here, nothing happens that would involve the agreement that the Kingdom once signed.

    Here, they have lost their last reliance on their hearts, and must also abandon the most naive illusions, because once encountering the orcs, the two sides must not have any hesitation.

    Roddy held the rein in his hand and stared out at the low slope in the distance. Captain Carter, who was leading the team, turned around and wanted to see something from the guy whose strength was suddenly so strong that he couldn't guess, but couldn't capture any information from Roddy's expression. However, as they waited for the low slope on the grassland, the exclamation of the front scout made him fall in love!

    In the distance, the grassland should be empty but there was a camp!

    About ten tents made of animal skins were enclosed in a circle, and some bacon was hung outside the humble tent. In their center, there was also a crooked wooden tower... Three pairs of figures were walking in it, and the body shape of the large waist and round body immediately made these scouts stare.

    All the scenes show that this camp is the outpost built by the orcs at the moment-Roddy looked at the scene. The outpost with an area of ​​more than ten acres and a high sentry tower in his memory gradually coincided with this ugly camp. That’s it!

Demon Lord Chapter-21 "Once Hero"

    The torch was flaring. In the evenings of Finks Village, the villagers basically stayed at home. It didn't take long before the village’s 70% of houses received the notice, Roddy looked intently and found Ruger holding the torch and stepped forward.     He narrowed his eyes, looked at the front with some doubt and could not help but swallow.     Right in front of Ruger, a young man was talking seriously. The opponent was more than half a head taller than Luger, but his upper body was strong but not bloated. The sword was on the right, proving that he was left-handed. Wearing a second lieutenant badge on his chest, apparently the scout leader of Finks Village.     At this moment he frowned and seemed unwilling to believe the content of the piece of parchment in front of Ruger, shaking his head frequently and shaking his hands, his face was a bit ugly.     "I r...

"Oh, isn't this the Great Elder of Ye Family?" Zhou Luotian went in front of Ye Bingjun: "Why are you so unreasonable to Mrs Ye?" "Yeah, the Great Elder treats Mrs Ye like this, they are extremely disrespectful! Don't forget, she is now the owner of Ye Family." Zhou Ziqiang joined the road. But there was a hypocritical smile on his face. "Hey! She is not fair, the member of our Ye family was injured, and they refused to take out the medicinal pills to save people! As an elder, naturally I want to take care of this." Ye Bingjun snorted: "But Zhou Luotian, what are you doing here?" "Oh... It’s not my business to say that, but it is what I caused." Zhou Luotian smirked: "Do you want to hear the reasons for this Great Elder?" "Please say!" Ye Bianjun deliberately made a curious look. "This is the case..." Zhou Luotian looked at Wang Si meaningfully: "I want Zhou Ziqiang......

"Hey, what you said is true? After Ye Tian’s talent breakthrough, is it only an ordinary Domain? Not a rare... or a god-level Domain?" [Elegant Tea House] The second floor by the window, a white-haired girl with clear eyebrows, shouted out with her small mouth and the Phoenix-like eyes were full of shock. In her opinion... Ye Tian’s luck is too bad, right? "Hey... can you make less noise? Do you want people in the whole lava town to hear it?" The middle-aged man in a purple robe sitting opposite the white girl heard her words and looked around carefully, seeing them on the second floor. The father and the daughter can't help but sigh: "The latest news was that your big brother has brought back in [Mo Family Academy] is absolutely wrong. Once, Ye Tian was one year old, he was bound to be the talented genius, I am afraid he will become the biggest joke in Lava Town. ” The white-clothed girl’s pretty face showed a look of regret: “ T...
