Chapter Eighty-Nine: Advancing as Retreating

"We don't have the strength to turn back now."

Seeing the suspicion of the two, Rhodes quickly explained. [www]

"Whether it's here or in the highland battlefield before, frankly speaking, the undead themselves are not very strong, but their numbers are a big problem. Expanding our ranks and spreading our defenses means we have to face more enemies. But if we continue to go inside, the number of undead will start to decrease, and of course, their strength will increase greatly, but we are not without chance. The high-level undead mostly act alone, rarely in groups, which can give us various opportunities to break through. ”

"But there are also some high-level undead creatures who have the ability to command low-level undead ......,"

Serek apparently knows a lot about this.

"Don't worry, at least nothing like this will happen where we go."

As he spoke, Rhodes picked up his sword and drew a simple map on the ground, first drawing a small circle and then a straight line.

"This is where we are now, and luckily this is the edge of this damn place, and if we pick up a little speed, we should be able to leave. Then we'll just pass through here........." said Rod and nodded at the edge of the line. "You can get to the next area of the highlands, there's a valley here, and as long as we can get through here, then we can get out of the highlands."

"How do you know about the Dao?"

Hearing this, Kudra couldn't help but ask curiously, and he looked at the young man in front of him with a little scrutiny, wondering if he was talking about it.

"Because I've been here before."

As usual, Rod didn't explain much, he just replied lightly, and continued.

"We only need two undead creatures in the valley, one is the Bone Giant, this kind of monster I think you should know what the Dao is by listening to the name. Like the other giants, it is large and has unparalleled strength, but it lacks agility, but you have to pay attention to its special ability, when it encounters danger, it will choose to destroy its own body, and it will look like it is scattered, but don't think that this is a win, because when those scattered skeletons will also attack you. However, this guy is not without weaknesses, and the fire of the spirit hun is hidden in its skull, so we only need to beat its skull to completely destroy this monster. Therefore, after the battle begins, the only thing to pay attention to is to destroy its head in the shortest possible time, except for taking care of it. The Bone Giant doesn't have much intelligence, it just relies on instinct to attack, so there is no need to worry too much about this. ”

Rod's explanation was very simple and straightforward, and both Serek and Kudla, who were listening, couldn't help but nod. Although none of them had ever seen such a monster, after listening to Rod's explanation, they quickly had a vivid impression in their minds.

"And at the end of the valley is the territory of the Death Knights."

Rhodes slashed forward with his sword, drawing another basin on the ground.

"He's very strong, I think maybe it's about the same as Mr. Serek, and most importantly, as Mr. Serek said, he's a high-level undead, and he has the ability to command low-level undead. And the subordinates he can command are those bone giants in the valley! ”

Rod's hand stopped.

"So we have to clean up these bone giants, in the shortest possible time, in the shortest possible time, two, I need your full cooperation. Bone giants don't transmit signals, and they're hard to get the Death Knight to notice when they're attacked, but if it's too loud, even a fool can guess that something is wrong. So next, what I want to say is ............"..., listening to Rod's narration, Kudella couldn't help but nod, although he did look down on Rod at the beginning, thinking that this young man was too young, and what command experience could he have? But now, after listening to Rod's story, he felt that his idea was completely wrong. Because Rhodes took a command style that he had never seen before, he almost first explained in full detail the attack that the other party was likely to make, and then told the others what you should each do in the face of such an attack, and sometimes even so detailed that you even had to explain what skills to use. What is even more admirable is that he has a very accurate grasp and understanding of these skills, and there is no appearance of a layman commanding an insider.

This also made Kudella feel that he was indeed inferior to Rhodes, because this kind of command was basically not used by any mercenary captain, and at most they only commanded who to attack, who to defend, who to retreat, and who to advance. Kudella has always believed that the command of the mercenary group is like this, and the next thing is to rely on the reaction speed of the commander, as well as the cooperation and tacit understanding between his subordinates.

But now, he sees a completely different way of commanding than he imagined.

This kind of command is unimaginable for Kudla, because each mercenary learns different skills, and their xing style and combat style are also different, and it stands to reason that the commander can't teach them how to do it by hand, which is almost impossible. But now............

Of course, if Kudella were a player, he wouldn't be unfamiliar with it, because what Rhodes was talking about was just killing each group of players

This is just the necessary preparation for OSS.

"Well, that's pretty much it."

Rhodes clapped his hands, but unlike in the game, he didn't say "official words" like "if anyone doesn't pay attention, just kick out". "After all, this is not a game, and if a mistake is made, then there is no chance of saving.

And Rhodes was clearly not interested in complaining to the dead.

After consulting with Serek and Kudla, Rhodes gathered everyone together and explained to them once again the dangers they were going to encounter and their responsibilities. Unlike before, this time the main attackers were Rod, Celia and Serek, who were responsible for the attack, while Anne was in charge of the guardian spirit master, those mercenaries did not have any duties and missions, and Rod was not familiar with them, but arranged for them to guard in the rear, just in case. Of course, he also arranged Kudra to sit in the back anyway, what should he do when attacking the bone giant, he has already made it very clear to this mercenary captain, and it can be seen that he is very smart and flexible, and there should be no major mistakes.

But this time, in Rod's plan, the roles of two people have changed.

"I don't have to attack?"

Hearing this, Marlene raised her brow.

"For what?"

"Because spells can be loud, and we want to be able to resolve the battle in the shortest amount of time and in the least noticeable way."

"I see."

Hearing Rod's explanation, Marlene nodded, and then she said suddenly.

"That means you can't make the enemy hear, right, so I can try it with silence."

Hearing Marlene's answer, Rod was stunned.

"Do you know how to silence?"

"Of course."

Marlene nodded as a matter of course, as if the sun had been rising in the east.

"Aren't you an elemental mage?".

"I'm good at elemental spells, but I'm also good at illusions and arcane arts."

"........................,Looking at Marlene, who looked up proudly and proudly, Rhodes finally understood what was going on with the so-called once-in-a-century magic genius...... It's no wonder that so many players were unhappy with her in the game, but at the end of the day, none of them were able to push her down. This is comparable to the player's perverted mastery ability," ...... Miss, you're just that

OSS templates......

"I can understand what you mean, but the little and the child .........,"

Old Walker chin chin looked embarrassed. In previous battles, he had always been the one in charge of playing soy sauce, and apart from observing the trails to lead the way, Old Walker had basically not played any role in the battle. But now Rod obviously doesn't plan to let him relax any longer, and it is very important to play his spare time.

"You asked me to provoke those monsters, aren't they very sensitive?"

"That's right."

Rod nodded.

"But don't worry, I'll tell you what to do.

For Anne and Lijie, Rod's requirements have not changed, he didn't even say anything to Lijie, just told her to master the rhythm The next battle is not only a test, but also an opportunity to increase experience, Lijie has always done a good job in details, and she doesn't need to worry about herself. And for Anne, Rod didn't say anything more. He finally understood now what the two deputy leaders of the Macbeth mercenary group were always trying to drive her away, this young lady was indeed rushing to speak a little now, and now those mercenaries looked at this girl with a very unfriendly look, not to mention the half-elf thief, if the sight could kill, I am afraid that Annie would have died on the spot. But in this embarrassing and dull atmosphere, she is still humming the song so relaxedly, looking leisurely and complacent, which makes those people look at it, no wonder they don't have any ideas, no, don't say it, she really deserves to be mt, it's really proper to pull up hatred.........

As the boulder stuffed at the entrance of the cave was pushed away again, Yin's cold cold wind entered it, making everyone shiver.

"Let's go."

Rod said in a deep voice, and walked out of the cave, and the others followed suit.

Perhaps it was their luck that this time when they left the strange dry forest, Rhodes and the others did not encounter the encirclement and interception of that group of monsters again, and left the dry forest very smoothly. And after leaving there, everyone didn't have time to relax their minds, but they immediately encountered a new challenge.

"Knock, knock!"

Under Rod's warning, Lijie did not cast any more divine light, and at this moment, they pressed against the edge of the stone wall, quietly looking at the huge figure walking back and forth in the valley, and almost everyone felt their scalps tingle.

Bone Giant.

As they sounded, they were a species of giants, but with their flesh removed. But now, when they really saw these bone giants, everyone's hearts couldn't help but feel a little numb. The body that was three or four stories tall did not look thin at all, and the body of the white bone structure of the forest was so strong and powerful, they slowly roamed through the valley, their huge heads looked around from time to time, and the spiritual hun flames in the eye holes were like small suns, and the green light that radiated from them swept around the valley like a searchlight.

Lijie had already put away her divine radiance, because it was really unnecessary. Merely.........

In the face of such a formidable enemy, do they really have a chance of winning?

No one has confidence.

"Now, listen to me."

Rod took a deep breath, lowered his voice, turned his head and gestured to Old Walker.

"Come here, do as I say"

Hearing Rod's words, Old Walker hurriedly stepped forward, and then, under Rod's leadership, the two of them quietly walked forward a few steps, and then hid behind a boulder at the edge of the valley.

"See there?".

Rod pointed to the bone giant not far away, his hands down, holding a huge bone hammer, walking back and forth in place. Old Walker glanced up, then nodded. Rhodes stood up and gestured to him.

"Shoot an arrow over, remember, don't shoot him, near him, in front of ..., five meters, listen to my orders."

"Okay."

Old Walker nodded, and then he drew his longbow and aimed solemnly ahead. And not far behind them, everyone couldn't help but subconsciously hold their breath and watch their actions.

And when the bone giant turned his head again and wanted to go to the other side of the valley, Rod finally gave the order.

"It's now!"! ……,
