Chapter 592: On the Road (Part II)
"How long is it......"
Looking at the official road that stretched out to the end of the field of vision, An Yizhi felt very tired in the fourth hour after departure.
Seven Killing Star didn't bother to pay attention to him, he could say anything to this grandson, as long as it involved heads-up, he would immediately talk about him left and right, and over time, Seven Killing Star didn't bother to answer An Yizhi's question.
Besides, this grandson has already asked seven or eight times along the way!
At this time, there was no tall vegetation around everyone, and there were only some sparse yellow grasses on the ground. The towering Heavenly Sword Mountain Range was on their left, and from time to time the roar of some creature could be heard from the mountain.
Hela said those were the cries of a wyvern, and that there might be a lair of a wyvern nearby.
After a long journey, there was a seven-killing star around him who wanted to find him alone all the time, and An Yizhi had a strong urge to go to the mountains to catch a two-legged flying dragon as a demon to walk!
Since the Heavenly Sword Mountain Range is called this name, it is naturally related to his shape, almost straight up and down the mountain wall, due to the terrain, An Yizhi's idea can only be thought about.
He now desperately hopes that the dragon roar of 'Summoning Dragons' can be used in the Overworld, even if Ventus doesn't help in the fight, it will be excellent for transportation, and besides, riding dragons all over the sky is not too cool.
But the fact is that he can only ride the Phantom Pony to hurry, which makes him even wonder if riding a horse for too long will cause him to unconsciously loop his legs in reality?
That's a problem!
Thinking about it, An Yizhi's thoughts didn't know where to fly, and the argument of pretending to be too empty was called fugue, which was simply a daze.
The main world is different from the dungeon, and if you rush in the dungeon, you will encounter unexpected tasks arranged by the system, and at least you will encounter some monsters or something.
But in the Overworld, the coalition of the city-states of the Sadmir region has just passed through here not long ago, and the forward command they have established not far outside Nauau is facing off against the Lopwen army, so not to mention the mission along the way, even the monsters have not been seen, and they are so boring that they explode.
But as the old saying goes, no book is made without coincidence, and things quickly change.
"Master, a large number of people are approaching."
"Who is it? Army? ”
He craned his neck to look hard, but his eyesight was far inferior to Hela's, and he couldn't see anything at all, only a large small black dot approaching along the official road.
"Judging by how they dressed, they looked like refugees."
"Did you escape from the vicinity of Naua?"
An Yizhi guessed. The Seven Killers knocked on the carriage and told everyone to be on guard.
Refugees are a group of uncertainties, and while it is pitiful, they may become robbers. Judging from the number of people, there are quite a few people, so it's better to be careful.
Let Hela go to the sky to investigate, and if you find something wrong, you can prepare in advance.
An Yi pointed to their convoy heading in the direction of Naua, while the other party came from the opposite direction, and both sides approached at the same time, and it didn't take long for them to see clearly.
As Hella puts it, these people are a group of refugees.
Most of them are NPCs, dragged into rags, and they look like they have escaped.
Some people brought a small cloth bag, and some people simply didn't have anything, and their eyes were full of confusion and confusion with their empty hands.
These people have lost their families, friends, and everything but their own lives, and it seems that they have completely lost all hope of life, and only the instinct to survive allows them to continue to move forward like walking corpses.
When the convoy met them, the refugees did not even raise their eyes, neither asked for help, nor rushed to rob, but silently avoided them and continued on their own way.
This silent indifference is appalling!
An Yizhi and the Seven Killing Stars didn't dare to be careless, because the indifferent eyes made them shudder more than any anger, and the players in the carriage also clenched their weapons, and the conversation and laughter just now didn't seem to dissipate, but it stopped abruptly.
In this strange silence, a greeting came:
"Seventh brother?"
It's a player who speaks.
Among the NPC refugees, there are also some players who are easy to recognize because they have titles on their heads.
"Are you...... Clouds? Damn, I didn't see the gray on your face. ”
Seven Killers was surprised, it seemed that they still knew each other, and they were quite familiar.
That player's name is Liuyun Yehe, and he and the Seven Killing Stars are old acquaintances, not only are they members of the Light of the Stars, but they also know each other in reality.
Through conversation, everyone learned that these players were originally from Naua City, and they happened to be out of line when the Lopuwen Army and Magic Melody attacked the city, and only after they went online did they find out what was going on in Naua.
"Some people choose to join the magic melody, and we don't want to join it."
Liuyun Wild Crane Road. While he was talking to the Seven Killers, a woman with a little boy about ten years old was standing in place waiting for him not far away, and it was obvious that it was an NPC.
"Who are those two ......?"
"They are the family of my friend, who died in battle when the city of Nauau fell."
A sad expression appeared on Liuyun Yehe's face, and at the same time, a wave of anger appeared on his face:
"The people of Magic Melody went too far, and they killed not only the city guards, but also those who had nothing to do with the city, and the grocery store owner was dragged to death by them on horseback because he was unwilling to sell them anything."
"Whether they are hostile to them or not, as long as they are NPCs, they don't feel any guilt! What is the difference between this and a beast! ”
For players, NPCs are just a piece of data that serves them, and there is no pressure to die if they are unhappy. Think about what players do in some open-world games. Even in the world of the brave with virtual reality technology, players still haven't improved much.
But not all of them.
For players like Liuyun Wild Crane, who were born in Naua, this place has condensed too many of their memories, especially in such a game with highly realistic AI intelligence, and it is not surprising that each player has some intersections with NPCs, and even some NPC friends.
"My friend, he is a member of the city defense force of Naua, when I first entered the game, I was chased all over the ground when I farmed monsters in the wild, he saved me, and taught me a lot of knowledge about the monsters around Naua, but the people of Magic Melody killed him, and wanted to attack his family."
The hilt of the sword was clenched and squeaked, Liuyun Yehe's face was flushed with anger, and his trembling hands could imagine how angry and unwilling he was in his heart.
"So, you took the initiative to escort these NPCs to escape?"
Ann pointed a finger into his mouth. The latter looked at him:
"I know you, you are An Yizhi, I have seen it in the final video, and Seventh Brother often mentions it."
"Who, who mentioned him! Don't talk nonsense! ”
The big old man is not cute at all when he is arrogant! It's disgusting, the Seven Killing Star is dirty!
Liuyun Wild Crane smiled reluctantly:
"Yes, almost every player here has NPC friends present, and we have gone to great lengths to protect them from Naua, intending to settle these people in Ironforge."
Hearing this, the Seven Killing Stars lowered their voices, looked at the mother and son behind Liuyun Yehe and said:
"Don't stay in Ironforge, hire a carriage, or simply take a flying boat to Canso City, where the guild's headquarters will be in the future."
As long as this mission is completed, the guild residence of the Starlight will be hung under the name of Canso City, so the Seven Killing Stars quietly mentioned it.
Ann then asked a question about how many soldiers were stationed in Naua, and how many players there were in Magic Melody.
However, Xianyun Yehe didn't know much about this, he only knew that the elite Wyvern Knights of the Lopuwen Army were not there, and the others were not clear.
"Seventh brother, are you going to Naua?"
If it were someone else, the Seven Killing Stars would definitely not say anything about it casually, but Liuyun Yehe was his friend in reality, and he knew that he wouldn't have a big mouth, so he didn't hide the purpose of this trip.
"I hope you can kick those bastards in the ass for me, but unfortunately, I have to get those two mothers and sons to safety, or I'll have to follow."
Liuyun Yehe listened, and then looked at An Yi and pointed:
"Actually, I'm also a fan of Liu Yunyun."
This sentence made An Yizhi a little embarrassed, when he was at the beginning of the whim, he mocked all kinds of things in the pinnacle competition, and now he met other fans.
"But after Liu Yunyun expressed her support for the magic melody on Weibo, I turned black, and now I just want to say, Brother An, you did a good job."
"You're welcome."
With An's cheek, that bit of embarrassment instantly turned into complacency......
The three of them were chatting, and Hela threw herself down, landed on Ann's shoulder, and said:
"Master, there is a cavalry force approaching quickly, about fifty people."
"It should be the light cavalry of the Lopwen Army!"
When Liuyun Yehe heard this, he immediately judged.
"Isn't the front command of the Sadmir coalition army at the front? And there is still Lopwen's army coming around to the rear? ”
An Yizhi didn't know much about military affairs, he knew that the battle between the two armies was far from being as clear as the battle line shown on the map, and it was more overlapping and interspersed, not to mention that no matter how large the number of coalition troops was, it was impossible to block all the roads that could be passed, and the area from Ironforge Fort to Naua's city was the most endless plain.
It is estimated that the light cavalry is coming to harass the rear of the coalition army, intercepting and harassing supplies, transporting supplies or reconnaissance, which is really a common sight in war.
As the three of them spoke, the light cavalry mentioned by Hela had already come into view, and the refugees fled screaming, and the cavalry from Lopwen was no different from a nightmare to them.
Xianyun Yehe drew his long sword and prepared to meet the enemy, and the Seven Killing Stars turned his head and said:
"You just protect the mother and son, and we'll take care of the rest."
"But they have 50 ......."
"Don't worry, this little scene is not enough to warm up."
As the Seven Killings said, this is indeed a small scene.
By the way, he informed the people who stayed in the carriage not to make a move, so as not to be too conspicuous, and then with An Yizhi, the two of them rode horses and trotted in the direction of the cavalry attack.
"Are you coming or am I coming?"
"Don't be lazy, you guy, you have to do things when you collect money!"
The Seven Killing Stars are full of black lines, and this grandson always wants to save trouble.
An Yizhi shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently:
"Okay, who made you pay."
The speed of the cavalry was very fast, after all, it was a war horse, and almost in the blink of an eye, they had already reached the distance of the charge, and even the white breath exhaled by the war horse was clearly visible.
An Yi fingered out the orb of death, which was similar to the stone ball, and let out a low shout:
"Bone Dragon Summoning!"
- Tom!
Two dragons, decomposed and skeletal remained, appeared and landed on the ground out of thin air, their eyes burning with terrifying undead fire, and let out a silent roar at the cavalry.
For a while, the war horses neighed, and they were impressed by the strong undead breath, and some of the war horses were frightened, and before they could fight, several knights were thrown out by the sitting war horses.
"It's a necromancer, get out!"
With a level of 40, a large size, and a certain resistance to sharp weapons from the undead made it impossible to fight with a team of 50 light cavalry.
Their choice was very correct, except for a few unlucky ones who were thrown off their horses, the others quickly turned their horses' heads and drew a large circle to prepare for retreat.
"Dare to attack the weak, but dare not bare your teeth at the strong?"
An Yizhi took out the sonic transmitter and used it as a loudspeaker and laughed loudly:
"As long as you obediently bow your heads and wait for death, maybe I will be merciful and let you die without pain, hum ...... Hahaha! ”
The arrogant laughter was particularly striking against the backdrop of the bone dragon.
Liuyun Wild Crane: "....."
I almost forgot that this big guy is a secondary and second-class disease.
At the same time, the spell of the Seven Killing Stars was also prepared.
"Spell Expansion: Acid Rainstorm!"
Sour clouds covered the sky, and dark green acid fell like rain......
