Chapter 103: The Wind from the East
Oriental Yamabara.
Rod held the reins in his hand and looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little fascinated. Not only him, but even Anne and Lijie held their breath at this time, staring ahead. In front of everyone's eyes, a waterfall came down from above, and the water vapor from the surging torrent shrouded the entrance of the entire valley like a cloud, and the bamboo forests on both sides shook and made a rustling sound. I saw that under the illumination of the sun, the emerald bamboo forest and the green mountains and green waters in front of me reflected each other, forming a peaceful and beautiful picture. It even makes people hold their breath and completely immerse themselves in this beautiful scenery.
The entrance to the Eastern Yamabara is located between the valleys, and it is also the only place where the Eastern Yamabara can communicate with the outside world. But the road was not smooth or wide, and could only accommodate two carriages at most. The planks and stone bricks stretched all the way to the mountain, disappearing into the mist without a trace.
"Commander, look at you."
Anne rode to the road, reached out and touched the bamboo in front of her, turned her head curiously and waved at Rod.
"Captain, you see, these trees are really strangely shaped, and Anne has never seen a strange tree. It's slippery on the outside, and the leaves grow strangely. β
"Alright, let's go."
Rod shook his head at Anne's words, and then he hurried forward and walked forward. It was not surprising that Anne would be surprised, even Lijie, Christie, and Leo looked at the bamboo forest in front of them with surprise and surprise at this time. In the entire Dragon Soul Continent, the only place with a bamboo forest is Dongfang Mountain Plains. It's no wonder they feel so surprised, but seeing the scenery in front of him, Rod couldn't help but sigh deep in his heart, and had to admit that after seeing the scenery in front of him. Rod himself couldn't help but feel a little homesick.
In fact, in the game, the existence of Dongfang Shanyuan has caused controversy among many players, because the Dragon Soul Continent is generally a game with a fantasy background, so most of the races that appear in the game are European and American fantasy stories, and whether it is the country of night, the country of law or the people in the country of light. It's basically the same. Only some of the Bitter Cold Lands or the Wild Barbarians of the Highlands and Mountains have some other races, but they are not much worse. However, only the style of Dongfang Shanyuan is completely different from other places, full of strong oriental colors, not only the scenery, but also the architecture and culture. It's a new experience for foreign players, but for domestic players, it always feels a little awkward, like eating pizza with rice, or eating a burger with noodles. Many people don't understand why the game design team would design such a place, but most players think that the production team is probably doing this to please their huge market of online gamers. That's why it's stuffed into such an oriental-style region in a fantasy background. Of course, it's not without players who want to look up the past and present life of the Eastern Mountain Plains to see if they can find any history or evidence that their appearance here is not accidental. But with the explosion that followed, everything was wiped out.
Hearing Rod's words, everyone soon gathered their minds and continued to move forward. It's just that even so, the exotic beauty in front of them still makes Anne and Lijie and others can't help but be amazed. The mountains outside the Oriental Mountain Plains are steep, and there are all kinds of strange mountains and strange rocks along the way. The narrow road winds its way up the cliff and is a headache. This is another reason why Dongfang Shanyuan has little contact with the outside world. Due to its own conditions, the road leading to Dongfang Shanyuan is not easy to walk, and it is even more troublesome for outside traders to enter Dongfang Shanyuan. Originally, if you had the heart, it would not be impossible to open up a way out, but there is a lack of interest in this in Dongfang Shanyuan, and there is quite a bit of love to come. Love to go, let them go. So on weekdays, there are no people on this path. However, Rhodes and the others were not in a hurry to go to Dongfang Mountain Plains this time, so they were naturally happy and quiet, stopping and stopping all the way, just to enjoy the scenery.
What surprised Anne and the others was. It is already winter, but these bamboo forests still maintain this bright emerald green, especially the bamboos on both sides of the road are bent to the left and right, staggered together to form a dome like a natural corridor, looking up, only to see the bright sun shining down from above, the bright green bamboo leaves and the snow-covered mountains are integrated, even more beautiful.
Walking and stopping all the way, everyone's mood is really happy. Even Soth, who had always had a solemn face, was much more relaxed at this time.
Rod reached into his arms, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, it was already noon at this moment, according to the original plan, they should have arrived at the first gathering place in the Eastern Mountain Plains at this time. However, because of the need to take care of Christie, the speed is much slower, but at the current speed, you should be able to reach your destination before dark. Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but shake his head. As he expected, Lijie and Marlene both decisively objected to bringing Christie with them. Marlene even thought that Christie should not be put in danger for something that he had never even heard of, so in desperation, Rod had to lie to them that he had heard that the way of the soul had an existence that could change Christie's physique, so he wanted to take Christie on the road to see if there was a way to solve this thorny problem. Eventually, Marlene nodded in agreement. Only Anne said that there was no pressure at the beginning, and she swore that Rod would protect Christie 100%, which made Rod feel much more reassured.
"Huh?"
However, at this moment, a faint cry reached Rod's ears. As a powerhouse who has stepped into the realm of legends, Rhodes is even more powerful in terms of senses. It only took a moment for Rod to notice that something seemed to be abnormal, he frowned and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and then Rod stretched out his hand and made a gesture, and seeing Rode's gesture, Leo, who had been silent and followed the most, flashed after seeing Rode's gesture, and soon disappeared without a trace.
"What's the problem? Your Excellency? β
Seeing Rod's gesture, Soth also hurriedly leaned over and asked. And in response to his inquiry, Rhodes nodded, he looked ahead, and said nothing. And Soth hurriedly looked up. Then his complexion changed slightlyβββ only to see that in front of him, in the sky not far away, a thick black smoke suddenly appeared, which was so eye-catching against the clear blue sky.
What's going on?
Seeing this scene in front of him, Soth's eyes widened in surprise, but he didn't wait for him to come back to his senses. Suddenly, a voice sounded in front of him.
"Report to the master."
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Hearing this sudden sound, Soth was taken aback, and he instinctively took a step back, only to find that Leo had come to him and Rhodes at some point, and was standing there quietly. Seeing Soth's movements, Leo glanced at him and said nothing. But Soth was still in shock, as one of the three deputy leaders of the War Law Regiment, his strength was not weak. He has the strength of a master at the intermediate level, but before Leo spoke, he didn't even notice the other party's breath at all!!
In the face of Soth's reaction, Leo did not have the slightest expression, she just glanced at the other party contemptuously and withdrew her gaze.
"There's a convoy ahead that has been attacked by the undead."
The flames burned and devoured everything in front of them, and the two four-wheeled carriages were now completely broken apart, slumped on both sides of the road. Parcels of all sizes were scattered all over the ground, on the white snow. Striking bloodstains mingle with the corpses, set against the backdrop of this picturesque beauty. It looks scary and ironic.
By the time Rhodes and the others arrived, the battle was almost over. I saw that next to the wreckage of the two carriages, four or five young men were holding long swords in their hands, wrestling with the undead creatures in front of them. Behind them were six or seven women, older and younger. At this moment, they were holding each other's hands in horror. With a desperate gaze, he stared at the enemy in front of him. Among them, an old man with a pale face held up a gem in his hand, which emitted a hazy white glow that formed a barrier to protect the others from attack.
They were so embarrassed. So vulnerable, so helpless. Just looking at their performance, I'm afraid they will think that the only thing they can do is to resist desperately and be killed by the undead. But it also depends on who their opponents areβββ a whole team of Death Knights is riding the nightmare around the carriage, and in front of them is a great abomination, and behind the abomination, a necromancer is holding a staff and whispering mysterious and evil incantations.
It's really not a loss to the Oriental Mountains.
Taking in the scene in front of him, Rod couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The high-difficulty leveling area in the early stage is really not just a casual talk.,Look at people.,Come out to rob and don't even have skeleton soldiers.,The lowest level is also a death knight.,And then it's actually on the hate!? What's worse is that these ordinary people who look like tricks can still block the attack of an entire small team of Death Knights, plus Abomination and Necromancers?
Wherever this combination is placed, I am afraid that it will directly sweep the opponent out at once, but now, in the face of the attack of the undead, they can still hold out for so long. From here, it could be seen that the strength level in Dongfang Mountain Plains was indeed not the same level as other placesββββ he even saw those young people release sword qi to block the attack of the undead, which meant that their strength level was twenty-five to thirty at worst!
However, they didn't come here to watch the show, I have to admit that although these people are very strong, the undead are stronger than them, and the worst thing is that they need to protect the people behind them, which makes them have some scruples, and the gem in the old man's hand is obviously specially used to restrain the necromancy, but from the flickering light on the pale white barrier, it can be seen that this gem can't last long.
"Soth, Annie, go deal with the Death Knight. Leo, the necromancer is handed over to you, and I'll clean up the abomination. Lijie, pay attention to the assistance! β
Before the words fell, Rod's figure had already jumped up, and the sword turned into a dazzling brilliance, flying away into the distance.
And immediately following Rod, Anne also shouted excitedly, and then saw the girl holding the shield like this, jumping down the hillside like a big bird with wings spread, waving the adamantite heavy shield in her hand and smashing it down towards the death knight in front of her!
"Be careful, Miss Anne!"
Seeing this scene in front of him, Soth was also surprised, he had just joined Rhodes's command not long ago, so he naturally didn't know the strength of others, but seeing Annie rush forward with a shield directly like this still surprised Soth. Born in the Eastern Mountains, Soth certainly knew how powerful the Death Knights were, and their charge was almost unmatched! And now, is this young lady actually going to fight them with force? Thinking of this, Soth's heart also tightened, and then he quickly made a gesture. With Soth's movements, the light of magic began to form a circle of light on Soth's limbs, and then Soth raised his head, looked at the Death Knight not far away, and gritted his teeth. This is our mage's revenge, damn bones!
And at this moment, he saw Anne pick up the pure gold shield in her hand, and directly blasted the death knight who was galloping all the way with men and horses......... I saw the hapless Death Knight spin in the sky and fall. It then turned into a pile of broken residue in the air.
Seeing this, Soth felt like his jaw was about to drop to the ground...............
Poor hapless abomination didn't expect to be attacked by someone, and when it sensed the danger and turned its head, the holy sword in Rhodes' hand had already reached its eyes, and then slammed the sword into the center of Abomination's forehead!
βββββββοΌοΌβ
At the sudden attack, Abomination roared in rage, and it stretched out two strong arms. Grabbed at Rhodes. With a gesture of abhorrence, the scimitars clenched in its other two arms staggered into flight. Whistling and slashing at Rod's body, if it were an ordinary person, then he would definitely not be able to avoid the angry blow of hatred. But it is clear that Rhodes is not among them.
Two scimitars slashed across Rod's body, but they didn't cut anything, instead. Rod's figure suddenly twisted slightly, and then a bright crescent moon sword light flew forward, easily cutting off the head of the abomination. In the face of this fatal blow, the fat and huge undead creature finally had no power to resist, and it staggered back a few steps. The body suddenly swelled up like a ball full of qi. And seeing this scene, the faces of the young people next to the carriage also changed greatly, as the people of the Eastern Mountains, they have not dealt with abomination, and naturally know how terrible they are. Seeing that the body of the abomination began to swell, they also hurriedly hid behind the wreckage of the carriage, waiting for the almost inevitable explosion to bombard.
At the same time, a white and dazzling pillar of light fell from the sky, bombarding the body of the abomination.
"Boom!!"
With the pillar of light that bombarded down, the huge body of Abomination, which was originally expanding, suddenly dried up like a ball of air leaking, and then, the silver-white flames began to burn from the inside out, quickly engulfing the huge body of Abomination.
"Who?!"
Seeing this scene in front of him, the necromancer was also taken aback, and he also saw the scene of Rhodes' attack on abomination just now, the young man's speed was too fast, and the necromancer only felt that he was a flower in front of him, and the next moment the abomination was separated. This made the necromancer secretly frightened in his heart, but at the same time, he also breathed a sigh, it was obvious that although the other party was strong, he was obviously not familiar with the undead. Generally speaking, attacking the undead must first attack his own commander, but that young man actually attacked the abomination, didn't he know that the abomination would blow himself up?
However, in the next moment, the necromancer stopped thinking like this, the divine pillar of light that fell from the sky was obviously from the spirit master's attack, and from this point, it was obvious that the other party knew the characteristics of the undead very well! Thinking of this, the necromancer suddenly felt alarmed, since the enemy knew him so well, he didn't attack him at the first time, could it be ...............
This is the end of the necromancer's thoughts.
The dagger glittered with magical brilliance silently slashed through the air, stabbing heavily at the necromancer's back, and just as the sharp blade was about to pierce the necromancer's body, a shield made of white bones appeared out of thin air, blocking the sudden blow. But in the face of the obstacle in front of her, Leo was expressionless, and instead, her right hand reached forward.........
The sturdy white bone shield crumbled, and the pitch-black dagger pierced through the necromancer's soul fire...............
"No ..................!!"
The necromancer reached out in despair, the fire in its eyes fading rapidly, and it turned its head, desperately trying to see who had delivered the fatal blow to it. But it didn't even do that, because at this very moment, the other dagger that Leo held in his left hand was so easy. Millimeter-accurate inserted into the necromancer's head and neck, and she reached out and shook it hard. Then I saw the sleek skull of the necromancer spin and fly into the sky, then roll to the ground. And its body, after losing the support of the soul fire, completely collapsed and scattered.
The battle was soon over.
Although Rhodes brought fewer people this time. But basically all of his current subordinates are the top existences except for "plug-ins", Anne and Leo are both talents who are about to reach the peak of the master, and Soth, as the deputy head of the Battle Art Regiment, also has the strength of the middle level of the master. Although Li Jie has only recently entered the master level, she is not far from level forty-five. And what about this side? Except for one abomination, that team of death knights was only about level forty, and that hapless necromancer was not even level forty-five, far worse than Anne and Leo, both in terms of rank and strength. None of them have the strength to compete with each other. Therefore, it is easy to solve this battle, and there is no difficulty for them to speak of.
On the contrary, the young people who were leaning on the side of the carriage and struggling to support looked at the scene in front of them in amazement, and did not react for a while. Just now, they thought they were dead, but they didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Hell and Heaven had switched places, and they held their weapons blankly, looking at the abominable corpse burning under the silver-white divine flame in front of them. I didn't know what to say for a while.
Rhodes stood beside him, looking at the refugees in front of him with some curiosity. It can be seen that these people were attacked on the way to leave the eastern mountain plains. However, their strength is really strong, with less than ten people, it is really rare to be able to hold on to the siege of abomination, death knights and necromancers until now. But Rhodes didn't think about the origins of these people. It's their intention to goβββ can it be said that the current situation of the Immortal Legion in the Eastern Mountain Plains is very good?
If that were the case, then Rhodes would have to reconsider his plans, and he didn't expect to end up in a big bang for no reason.
And at this moment, a voice sounded in front of Rod.
"Thank you for your help, this ............... Mr. β
Hear the voice. When Rod came back to his senses, he realized that one of the young men in the group was standing in front of him, thanking himself. However, from his embarrassed and unremittingly looking at Rod, it can be seen that he obviously has some doubts about the true identity (or gender) of the person in front of him.........
"You're welcome, just a little bit of effort."
In the face of the other party's thanks, Rod didn't say anything, he just waved his hand, and then looked behind the young man, only to see that the others had already gone to do their own things at the moment. Some went to comfort the weeping women and children, while others began to pick up the things that had been scattered from the wagons.
"Excuse me............ How many of them are from outside the mountains? β
The young man looked at Rhodes in front of him curiously, hesitated for a moment, and then asked. Although on the surface, Rhodes also has black hair and black eyes, but it can be seen from his clothes that he is definitely not from Dongfang Shanyuan. Rhodes was wearing a crisp black aristocratic dress, which didn't look low-key, nor ordinary, and even wasn't so convenient to wear. But for Rod, the only good thing about this neat dress is that it allows people not to confuse their gender, and now it seems that his persistence is still working. Even if it looks imposing and not intimate at all, it won't make people confuse their gender, right?
In addition, Annie, Lijie and Leo, who had come to Rod's side at this moment, also confirmed the young man's guess, no matter what, Dongfang Mountain Plains is a remote place, and ordinary outsiders will not come here if they have nothing to do.
"That's right."
Hearing the other party's inquiry, Rod nodded. Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at the young man in front of him.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're planning to go out of the mountain. Did something happen? Why are you being attacked here? This is the hinterland of the Oriental Mountains......... Could it be that the Legion of the Undead has already penetrated this far? β
"That's ..............."
Hearing Rod's inquiry, the young man's face was a little helpless, but he still replied.
"In recent days, the undead army's offensive against our eastern mountain plains has become more and more fierce, and many places have fallen into war. But the biggest problem is that the undead legion occupies the peak of the Falling Eagle Mountain! The Tactics were not able to hold there, resulting in the undead legion now bypassing the defenses of the front line and appearing behind us at every turn! Some of the larger towns are fine, but small cottages like ours don't want to go on like this. So we plan to leave the Eastern Mountains for the time being, and then come back when the fighting here stabilizes. But now ..............."
Saying this, the young man sighed helplessly and shrugged his shoulders.
"A few days ago, I heard that the lord of the Glenbel Lords sent us some very useful things to deal with the undead, I hope the elders can take this opportunity to suppress the undead back."
Hearing the young man's answer, Rhodes glanced at Soth next to him, the deputy head of the War Law Regiment's face was very embarrassed at the moment, obviously, he also heard the young man's complaint about the War Law Group. But what could he say? But that's obviously not what Rhodes cares about.
"What is the situation at the Falling Eagle Peak now? Are there a lot of undead legions there? β
"It's a lot of it, it's hard to deal with. But now, the elders are recruiting men, hoping to take back Eagle Mountain in one fell swoop and re-stabilize the situation on the front line, so let's hope they succeed. β
Recruiting?
Hearing this, Rod raised his eyebrows.
This seems like a good opportunity for them............... (To be continued......)
