Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
The sun in the summer is scattered through the dense trees, forming a picture of ray of light shadows on the ground. The refreshing breeze passes through the forest, blocking the summer heat waves. From time to time, birdsong came from the forest, and the entire forest was unusually quiet and peaceful. The rolling hills are covered with a layer of light green, which makes people feel relaxed and happy in their eyes.
Rhodes withdrew his gaze from the landscape in front of him, re-looked at the map at hand, and drew a circle on it.
It has been two days since they left Deep Rock City. During this time, everyone's itinerary was smooth. Twenty-five people had undergone rigorous training for nearly a month and a half. At present, mercenary, which is barely out of the teacher, plus Rhodes and so on. After one person left Deep Rock City, he embarked on the road to the forest path.
Although many people think that opening a path in Land of Redemption is a very difficult and difficult job, but Rhodes does n’t think so. He knows the situation of Land of Redemption very well, where it used to be a frontline Fortress of Parfield a long time ago, but later After hundreds of years of fighting, it was completely abandoned by the former residents. But if it is said that Land of Redemption is poor and white, it is too exaggerated. Although after years of baptism, there is already a blockbuster ruins, but Rhodes knows that at the height of Land of Redemption, the former Fortress still barely maintained a certain degree of integrity. As long as he can break through the periphery, enter the Fortress, and then start Construction System, he can transform and repair the Fortress. After that, Rhodes can build Summon World Gate in Fortress, and as long as it can build Summon World Gate, then Rhodes can connect a two-way plane channel between mercenary Stronghold and Land of Redemption of Deep Rock City, by that time, any problems will no longer be Problem.
Once the plane channel is established, the starlight with stable rear assistance can clean and rectify the surrounding area. ’At that time, it is not difficult to rehabilitate the connecting business road and master the area.
Of course, it is impossible to rely on this group of mercenarys to develop an area, but Rhodes also knows that on the edge of Land of Redemption, there are many gatherings of homeless people. Although their population is not large, it is also an objective to gather together If you can get the help of these native, it will be beneficial to the next development.
But before then ...............
"Captain."
Rando's voice rang in Rhodes''s ears, which made Rhodes can't help but's thoughts converge. He looked away from the map and looked at Ranger standing not far in front of him.
After the battle of the Midsummer Festival, these rookies have matured a lot, plus the rich bonuses given to them by Rhodes before, so that Rando and others finally have money to change their shotguns. The current Rando is no longer than before. magic leather armor, a large forest cloak wraps his body, behind Rando is a black giant wooden bow obliquely hung inside the arrow box filled with magic arrow made by Labise, and then paired with two Rando hanging from the waist Dagger, and a circle of flying knives hanging diagonally on him, now the Rando looks like a Ranger master. It's just that his respectful and awkward look still betrayed his identity.
"What's the matter?"
Rhodes glanced at Rando and then asked. According to the plan, not far away is Deep Creek Village, which is also the last resting place before Rhodes and others enter the forest trail. The originally Rhodes' plan is to take a rest there, and then enter the forest trail 'but now ...,
"Captain, there seems to be something wrong in the front. Just now we went to the front to investigate and found that Deep Creek Village has smoke and sparks in the direction. It seems that they are fighting. I have sent Joey to check them. Do you want brothers? Are we ready? "
"go and take a look."
Hearing this, Rhodes immediately converged, he tucked the map into his arms, then stretched out his hand and made a gesture to the back, and seeing the Rhodes' hand trend, mercenaries that originally followed behind Rhodes was immediately ready , They gathered together and followed Rhodes forward.
Deep Creek Village is located on the edge of Dusk Forest, which is also regarded as the border area of Parfield civilization. When Rhodes came to the mountainside, he quickly saw the black smoke and fire light not far below.
At the moment Deep Creek Village is surrounded by billowing smoke. From a distance, we can see that many people are surrounded by Deep Creek Village, holding weapons and confronting the villagers. If it is an ordinary village, I am afraid that it has already fallen. However, as a human gathering place located in the place of Civilization Border, defense of Deep Creek Village is still quite in place. It is tall and sturdy, and the walls made of logs are blocked from the outside world. The threat, at least so far, is still safe.
And those who besieged the village looked very weird. Except for a limited number of people, most of them were not wearing clothes, but surrounded by a few pieces of animal skin, bare feet and arms, Waving weapons such as wooden club and machete, shouting loudly outside, it looks like the original man of stone paper. Inside the wall, Nong Xian saw several hunters standing on tower shooting bows and arrows, trying to disperse the enemies that surrounded the village, but their number is really limited, and those "primitives" are obviously rich in experience, So although the guards worked very hard, they did not bring any effect.
"It is barbarian."
Seeing these people, a relatively senior mercenary touched his beard and then showed a disgusted expression. Hearing his remarks, other mercenarys also showed some disgust and seriousness. And Rhodes is also nodded. Obviously, he knows the origin of these people.
These “primitives” did not really come from the Stone Age. In fact, they are coming from areas other than Civilization Border. Of course, these people are not good things. Almost 80% of them are former criminals or even serious offenders. After they had escaped from prison and execution ground, they began to wander around. In order to avoid being caught, almost all fugitive criminals will choose to go to areas outside Civilization Border. There is no Order, no laws, and no soldier to arrest them. For those criminals, there is a paradise of freedom.
But they were free, but they lost everything. There is nothing but Civilization Border.
No food, no drinking, no clothes, and in order to continue living, these criminals began to gather together, using the forest as a cover, robbing the surrounding businesses and villages. These people have a wide range of activities, and they are very familiar with these four weeks, so gradually, many regular businessmen no longer choose to pass here. Only those black merchants who take the risk of trafficking in private goods will choose this route.
But this did not allow these criminals to converge. They did not get the supplies of the caravan, so they hit their ideas on those villages. In fact, almost every border village has been looted by these criminals. They even have time to go directly to the village and grab women, to satisfy their desires and to breed offspring. And because of the remoteness of these places, it is difficult for the defense forces to catch up, so it is difficult to be somewhat prepared. These natives were unable to leave their hometowns for various reasons, and ultimately they could do nothing but rely on themselves.
And those criminals who are wandering outside are also called barbarian by many mercenary. I have to say that although these people seem to have been embarrassed, the discipline outside the Civilization Border has allowed them to have more people The constitution and strength, even for many mercenary, are great enemies.
At this time, suddenly the grass next to Rhodes began to shake, and then, Joey, wearing a black leather armor, slipped out of it silently, and behind him, followed by four other Thief.
"It's barbarian, Boss, there are so many of them, this group of guys are really ruthless ..."
"How many people are there?"
Rhodes brows wrinkled, then asked, and Joey grabbed their hair, and this gave the answer.
"There are probably more than a hundred. They almost surrounded the whole village. Although the people inside are still insisting, I guess they ca n’t hold on for too long ... Boss, what should we do?"
"What should I do?"
After hearing Joey's inquiry, Rhodes glanced at him like an idiot.
"Of course, they were killed. You have been training for so long, isn't could it be just for this moment?"
"Uh
After hearing this, a few awkward smiles appeared on Joey ’s face. He did n’t know what to do, but there were too many people in the other party. Although after so long training, Joey ’s own plan was considered to have arrived At the level of player, otherwise he would not be eligible to appear in the team, but rookie is rookie. When I saw more people in the other party, I immediately panicked.
But for Rhodes, this is not the problem. In demiplane space, he once simulated this kind of similar mountain-to-field combat more than once, and mercenaries's own combat experience is also very rich. Although the barbarian on the opposite side seems to have a large number of people, Rhodes is very clear that their simply is vulnerable.
Thinking of this, Rhodes has made up his mind.
"Rando, you take someone to occupy the right Highland, I will watch my signal to attack on the left, and push them over! Joey, I want you to send someone to touch their outsiders now, do n’t let them Discovering our existence, I will only give you three minutes! "
"Okay, Captain."
"Understood, Boss."
When I heard Rhodes' talking, both of them were soon nodded, and then quickly left, and watching their back disappear, Rhodes turned his head and looked at the others.
"Follow me."
He then gave the order calmly.
