MTL - Summoning the Holy Sword-Chapter 80 To Silent Highlands (6,000 words

Before the next day, Rhode had taken everyone to the gate of Deep Stone City, where Serek was already ready. He was still wearing the white leather armor he had worn when he first met with Rhodes, and his magic sword was hanging around his waist. At the moment, Serek looked like he had a mercenary. Seeing Rhode's arrival, Serek took two steps forward and waved at them.

"You came on time."

Serek nodded with satisfaction at Rhodes, then he looked at Lijie, Marin and Old Walker, who were next to Rhodes in turn, and finally Serek turned his eyes on Annie, and then he looked at him slightly. There was a hint of surprise, but he quickly restored his expression, greeted everyone with a smile, and then he looked back at Rhodes.

"It seems you are all ready."

"Yes."

Rhode responded calmly. In fact, when he returned to the base last night to announce the news, the response was completely different. Li Jie was naturally worried, but Ma Lin didn't know what the quiet high ground was, so she was full of fighting spirit instead. Old Walker complained that Rhodes wanted to commit suicide by pulling them together, but was struggling to persuade him to give up his decision. As for Annie, she didn't seem to pay any attention to the dangerous task she first came to the new mercenary regiment. She should eat and sleep, and look at her, as if they were about to go. The color changed to the quiet highlands, but to travel to the countryside.

"Who do I want?"

"it's here."

Serek made a gesture, and soon, four young women in robes stepped out from behind him. The oldest of them was only 25 or 26 years old, and the youngest was about the same size as Li Jie. However, unlike ordinary adventurers, the expressions of these spiritualists reveal fear and anxiety about the unknown. This is no wonder. Not all spiritualists are willing to go out with the adventure team. Most of them stay in the safe The rear-like Li Jie, who is willing to follow the mercenary regiment to run to the west is different.

"According to your requirements, they are all able to use mass healing and shield of protection. Well, young people, you know this is a great wealth of the association. Although my old friend agreed unwillingly Meet your requirements, but this does not mean that he will allow you to take them to no return, I must explain in advance, my first priority is to protect them from harm. If there is something wrong with these children, then I will Take them away immediately, as for the rest, you can only figure it out yourself. "

"no problem."

In the face of Serek's words, Rhodes didn't say much. He just made a gesture of gratitude to Serek, and then walked in front of the four spiritual masters. At the moment, those four spiritual masters also mixed Looking at this young man with curiosity, doubt and uneasiness, frankly, they did not want to go to the battlefield in person, but as members of the mercenary association, they must obey orders-of course, this is not unconditional.

In a way, the spiritual master is more delicate than the mage.

"I think you all heard where we are going."

Rhode ignored their gaze, he just spoke according to his own steps.

"You also know it's dangerous, maybe you will die. But I won't tell you, I will do everything to ensure that you are not harmed, I will only tell you, if you do it exactly as I ordered, then you are not Impossible to be harmed. "

Speaking of which, Rhodes spread his hands.

"Please remember that you are doing exactly what I ordered. What I want you to do is what you do. If you can do what I ask, then you will not encounter any danger. I know you do n’t Believe me, but the facts will prove it, but in turn, I do n’t want anything that violates my order to happen, no matter what kind of psychology you are, before I get my permission, I hope you do n’t do something that will I feel unpleasant. "

Rhode paused, and then he looked around at four spirit masters with different looks.

"You are in charge of Li Jie. If you can ask her anything, I know that some of you may be superior to her in terms of spiritual skills, but when it comes to group action and field life experience, you are far less skilled than her. If you don't want to have a problem, you better obey her instructions. "

After saying this, Rhodes didn't say anything more, but waved his hand to signal that everyone was ready to leave. At this moment, Serek also came to Rhodes, whispering in his ear with a bitter smile.

"Frankly, you're being too rude to these ladies."

"I have no interest in courting them."

Rhodes shook his head.

"This time we're going on a mission, not a wild game, not a blind date. I don't have time to get in touch with them. I just need them to complete my order. After this mission, there won't be any more between me and them. Any relationship. "

"Don't say so absolutely."

Serek smiled.

"You looked a bit like a soldier."

"is it?"

At this, Rhodes frowned.

"Yes, at least the kind of perseverance and decisiveness when facing a mission ... well, I don't think the average mercenary has this ability."

Rhode didn't say anything, but turned around and stepped onto the carriage.

The quiet highland is not close to Deep Stone City, and many people in the team are not good at advancing in the wild, so Serek arranged a caravan for transportation. This car has six wheels and consists of eight wheels. The sturdy northern horses are marching forward. Mercenary associations are not as regular as the military. This is also a means of transportation often used by them to transport people.

Although the quiet highlands are also where the tide flows, but the mercenary association did not use floating ships. The floating ships were temporarily suspended because of previous attacks by commercial ships. Secondly, there was no terminal in the ghost place. Germany and others have not developed the ability to fly and jump at high altitudes, not to mention that there is no such thing as a parachute in this world. Even if you are lucky to survive, you may not be greeted by flat and soft earth but undead. Howler and death.

It is not commendable to die before you die.

In comparison, although the caravan is slower, it is safer and more reliable.

Unfortunately, things are often not shifted by the will of the person.

The road to the quiet highlands is not smooth, perhaps because few people will come to this ghost place. It is already deserted, the overgrown road is bumpy, and the bumps along the way even make Li Jie and Old Walker like maids. The soldiers couldn't bear it, let alone Malin and the other four spiritual masters who had little experience. The bumps along the way made them completely disregard their image and spit on the side of the car. The calmest, she curled up in the corner and slept alone, without being affected at all.

Although according to the original plan, everyone should set off immediately after arriving at the quiet highlands, but when they walked down from the car, their legs became soft and their faces turned blue. The enemy almost collapsed without even seeing the enemy. Miss, Rhodes and Serek can only helplessly choose to rest for a long time on the spot, and then go to rescue people.

"I hope that group of guys can support us and rush."

Rhode looked at the rolling black forest in the distance and said with a sad look. It was late at this moment, but unlike ordinary forests, there was no sound of birds and the roar of beasts. Rhodes knew what was behind that, except death. Can those people really persist until they arrive? Rhodes is not very confident about this. He has done many similar tasks many times in the game. Although he has reached the location every time, npc does not always insist on his arrival every time. When I arrived at the target location, all I saw was the body of an NPC, which was indeed a very depressing thing.

"do not worry."

Serek, on the other hand, was more open than Rhodes.

"I know the head of the" Victory of Victory "mercenary regiment. He is a very alert young man. He will not die so easily. And even if we know there is little hope of surviving, we must try it. What, we are the mercenary association. "

That is responsibility.

Rhodes didn't say much. The Mercenary Association looked like a very powerful organization on the surface, and it was also very prestigious among the mercenaries, but it was not just because they had the power to dissolve the mercenary regiment and improve their status. Power and obligation are always relative. The mercenaries obeyed the orders of the mercenary associations, and the mercenary associations naturally acted for the mercenary regiment. One such rescue operation was one of them. Whether they were alive or not, since the mercenary association received their request, Then someone must be sent to the rescue. This dependence and connection between life and death is much closer than the black and white contract provisions ... In fact, many mercenary regiments cling to their teeth even if they are in trouble.

Trust is not without cost.

"I ... I can't do it, Li Jie."

Leaning against a tree, Marin felt the ground soft at her feet, and the sky above her head was spinning. An unparalleled nausea kept echoing in her chest, which was more painful than she had ingested a magic plant. The excitement made the poor girl somewhat unbearable. She leaned on the trunk, leaning her head back, barely suppressing the almost vomiting urge in her throat, while Li Jie was half-knelt beside her, giving her a magical technique that made people feel more comfortable.

"Hold on, Marlene, come, take a deep breath, and rest there."

"Deep call ... wow ... !!!"

Seeing Malin's pain now, she must have spit it out last night.

Several other spiritual masters were not much better, but fortunately, compared with Marlene, at least they were quite experienced in this level of self-help. But looking at them exhausted and lying on the ground at the moment, I'm afraid they were seen by unsuspecting people, thinking they had been attacked by undead creatures and turned into a corpse.

Only one person showed no pressure.

"Huh ..."

Yawning with open mouth, Annie climbed down from the caravan. She stretched out comfortably, and the other ladies who looked at the cozy expression invariably had the idea of ​​killing. --- Man is really irritating than others.

"Ah, head, have we arrived yet? When will we leave?"

"After three hours, let them rest first."

Faced with Annie leaping to himself, Rhodes quickly answered, and then he pointed to the makeshift camp next to the caravan.

"You go for a bit of food too, then take a break, and then we are ready to go, don't forget your mission."

"Of course, rest assured, head, with Annie, there must be no problem!"

After answering with confidence, Annie trot along the way to the camp, and then took out a few pieces of jerky from the bag, and ate the hot soup by the fire. Compared to her spirit-filled look and the half-dead leaning against the trunk of a tree next to Marin and others, it seemed that her bones had been completely taken out.

"I didn't expect you to turn her around."

Serek took two glasses of hot water, walked to Rhodes and sat down, handing one of them.

"It seems you really have two hands."

"Do you know Annie?"

Taking the cup from Serek, Rhode asked casually. Facing his inquiry, Serek nodded slightly.

"I've seen her several times before. The little girl's last name is a headache, but she doesn't have much to say about her talents. Don't look at her as if she's so careless, she doesn't look at her heart. That's because there's nothing worthy of her attention-well, once she really gets serious, the little guy is very powerful. "

"I think so."

Rhodes has not had much contact with Annie, but in the previous test, he has noticed that the young girl's strength is unusual, and ...

"Do you know her background?"

Watching Annie easily pick up her shield with her right hand, and then throw it on the ground, the heavy shield contacted the ground, made a dull sound, and even fell directly into it. Rhode raised a brow and asked. He thinks that his physique and strength are also good, but it is definitely not easy to want to take up this heavily armed shield with a weight of tens of kilograms with one hand. You should know that before she set off, Rhode gave her the Heart of Rock shield from the Rock of Sighs and gave it to the impact shield, which was not a lightweight piece of equipment.

It is worth asking that Annie, who got the magic shield, was so excited that she even jumped on Rod and kissed him. This made Rhodes a little bit crying, but this girl's last name is like this, he can only helplessly Followed her.

"I don't know. I only know that Macbeth's former head found her from the mountain forest. At that time, the child was only one or two years old and lived with the beast. Then the old guy brought her out of the mountain forest and raised the chief. Big. This is not an easy task. I remember that at the beginning, the child was like a beast. She would bite whoever touched her. The old guy could not be bitten by her. To be honest, there were many times Everyone asked the old guy to sell this girl, but it wouldn't help to keep it anyway. But the old guy's temper was very stubborn, and he tried to save opinions. He taught her to speak like a human and learn to write. , And learning combat skills. He treats her like his own daughter, and has to say that the child has gradually recovered like a human, but her surname ... I also heard about what happened. It was also a good thing for her to leave, at least she did n’t have to stay there to get angry ......... The child ’s strength has always been scary, and we also doubt whether she has a savage Descent, but ...... "

Then, Serek smiled.

"I've never seen such a savage barbarian, and if it's a dwarf, it's a bit too tall. In all fairness, she still looks beautiful."

Having said that, Serek paused, then his expression became serious.

"Okay, let's get back to business. I want to know what can you do to let all of us safely enter the quiet highlands? You said that you are familiar with this place, I don't know if it is true or false, but I want to believe you, but as a companion I hope to know your intentions. "

"Of course there is no problem."

Facing Serek's doubts, Rhodes looked up, his face flashing with unprecedented confidence.

He has enough self-confident capital. In the game, the early stage of Silent Highlands is also a copy that causes players a lot of headaches. Even many players call it the annihilation holy land, which is almost one death. So in the end, many players bypassed this copy, because according to many people, the equipment in the copy is not very good, and there are no valuable items that are particularly worthy of attention, so basically no players will go there later. Trouble finding this copy.

As the deserved king of the first kill in the game, Rhodes naturally won this copy, and it was he who created the "9 + 1" tactic that became popular among players.

The so-called "9 + 1" tactic is a combination of nine spiritualists and a class capable of long-range and large-scale strikes. In this copy, Rhodes protects the spiritualists, sustains them, and uses the divine power to restrain undead At the limit, under the attack and protection of up to nine spiritual masters, the fighting power of undead creatures can be suppressed to a minimum, and the reason for not choosing a full spiritual master lineup is for insurance purposes. Accidents can guarantee an insurance.

After that, the quiet highlands that were once called "the holy land of annihilation" became a place for many spiritual masters to brush up experience. After all, they are auxiliary occupations, and it ’s difficult to level up except for the next copy. , And the "9 + 1" tactics of Silent Highlands can maximize their experience. Later, it was also regarded as a trial ground for many player spirits. Whether you are in pk or mission direction, as long as you can pass a quiet highland smoothly, then you can basically master the spirit. Skilled and learned.

As a leader for a while, of course, Rhodes did not bring his spiritual master from the guild to upgrade and practice fighting skills. For this place, he almost knew how to go with his eyes closed. And there was an interesting incident. One time Rhode brought his Guild Spirit master to brush here, but at the final stage, I do n’t know why, the boss was stuck and never appeared. This is also the first time this kind of thing has happened in this game. Rhodes and his team members waited for more than ten minutes. The boss did not come out, and he was only able to quit the copy. After this event spread, many players on the forum also joked that the boss was scared by Rhodes and did not dare to show up when he hid ...

So for Rhodes, the colorless and quiet highlands are not really something to fear.

Although he only had five spiritual masters this time, he was far from the requirements of the "9 + 1" tactics, but Rhodes was not worried at all. After all, he created this tactic. He naturally knew this. What are the core requirements? The Mercenary Association could not give him eight or nine spiritual masters, but four are definitely not insignificant, and Li Jie has the blood of an angel. Her magic power can equal two spiritual masters, not to mention A mage like Malin is on the side, and there should be no problems in theory. What's more, Serek also participated in this operation, a forty-level swordsman master was enough to offset the rest.

Because of this, Rhodes is still very confident about such a combination.

"In this battle, we are dominated by spiritual masters."

"With a spiritual master?"

Hearing Rhode's answer, a little surprise appeared on Serek's face.

"Although I guessed when I heard you mention it before ... but young people, spiritual masters are not soul knights, they don't have too many fighting skills, let alone these people who came this time basically have none After fighting, you have to push them to the front to face those undead? "

"No, their rear can do better."

Rhodes shook his head.

"But I hope Mr. Serek can help me look at their rear, we will not be too stressed, but I am very worried that they will be in a condition, as you said, they have not been on the battlefield."

"Isn't it too stressful?"

Hearing here, Serek glanced strangely at Rhodes. He has been here before in the silent highlands. Those waves of undead creatures that seem to be endless like the ocean, even Serek, a master swordsman, feels very strenuous, and now, this young man is so freehanded Not stressed?

Doesn't he know the horror of the sea of ​​death?

Is this a bluff? Or does he really have a way to face it?

Old Walker came out of the shadows of the forest with a serious expression.

"I found the trail they left."

He went to Rhodes and whispered.

ps: I encountered a very stingy thing this afternoon. Someone said it was my book friend, added me qq, and asked me to borrow money, because he rewarded me, now it is time for me to reward him ——— I was stunned on the spot …………
