Chapter 416: Army of Death
All the way forward.
Rhodes leaned back in his chair and looked out the window. In front of him, three young girls were huddled together. Leaning back in the chair and falling asleep, Seven Love sat opposite Rod, her big fluffy tail covering the three of them like a blanket. Anne leaned on the other side, opened her mouth, leaned on the carriage without any grace, saliva flowed down the corners of her mouth, and it looked like she was sleeping soundly. And sandwiched between the two, the girl named Natasha is obviously very tired, maybe because of the fact that she has been running for her life for several days, the current girl is sleeping very deeply, but even so, she still holds the wooden box in her arms, and has no intention of letting go.
On the other hand, Grundy, who was sitting next to Rod, lowered his head in a very embarrassed manner, not knowing where to look. Of course, it was clear from his expression that the teenager was not used to such occasions. Although Qilian and the others did not have any disheveled behavior, but being in such a small carriage with three beautiful girls in their upright youth was still a little too exciting for a young man like Grundy.
Virgin...............
Looking at the anxious Grundy beside him, Rod sneered inwardly, and then he withdrew his gaze. And at this time, Grundy also seemed to notice Rod's eyes, immediately raised his head, glanced at Rod, and then seemed to hesitate, first turned his head to look at the three young ladies opposite, and then lowered his voice and asked.
"That......... Dear Rod......... Mr......... I don't know what is the important thing about your trip to the City of Eagles this time? ”
"Why do you ask this?"
Hearing Grundy's inquiry, Rhodes frowned, then asked rhetorically. Hearing Rod's words, Grundy's performance was slightly hesitant, but he still hardened his head and continued. “……… You see. As you said, the City of the Eagle is home to the Purple Lily Guild, and as the Guildmaster of the Parfield region, you probably won't have to come here to play. This one......... I'm also the son of the sheriff of Eagle City, if there's anything I can do to help..............."
I'm afraid we're going to get into trouble.
Although Grundy was very careful, Rhodes quickly guessed the true thoughts of the young man, and it was obvious that this guy was a little serious. But it's still quite brainy. And the sense of responsibility is also very strong, indeed, as the president of a mercenary guild, it has always been quite rare for such a big thorn to run into someone else's territory. If it's those southern mercenary guilds, such as Wings of Liberty or something, they made a special trip here. Then 100 percent is not good. Although according to the law, disputes between guilds generally do not involve other issues, but if it really interferes with daily travel and life, it is still quite a headache and trouble.
"We're going to the City of Eagles to find a clue about the five-star guild mission."
In this regard, Rhodes did not mean to hide it, after all, the guild mission was not harmful for such a city, and considering that if the other party was really the son of the sheriff, then maybe he could provide them with protection and convenience in the city of eagles. After hearing Rod's answer, a hint of clarity flashed in Grundy's eyes. Then he nodded, and didn't ask anything more. At this moment, Rod suddenly heard a whistling sound outside the car.
"Wooh!!"
With the screams, the carriage, which was originally moving smoothly, immediately began to shake violently, and the three girls who were originally asleep at this moment also woke up immediately.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What happened? ”
Anne's eyes widened in surprise and she turned to look around, while Natasha clutched the wooden box in her hand and screamed involuntarily. And at this time, Qilian, who had just woken up, suddenly frowned. Then she reached out forcefully. I pressed the plank next to me.
Soon, the carriage, which was originally swinging left and right, was forcibly stopped in an instant. Stopped in place with the neighing of the horses. At this time, Rhodes was already like a ghostly shadow, rushing out of the carriage door. As soon as he jumped out of the carriage, Rod saw a pair of eyes shining with bright red light and a wielding long sword, but in the face of this sudden attack, Rod did not panic at all, his shoulder tilted to the left, only to see the sharp long sword grubbing Rode's sleeve like this, and did not even touch his side. And at this time, the long sword on Rod's waist was already out of its sheath.
The bright red light crossed a straight red line in the dark night sky, and the whistling sword wind instantly passed through the enemy's body, throwing it into the air heavily, and then fell to the ground——— only then did Rhodes see clearly that it was a heavily armed soldier.
Necro soldiers.
Undead legions?
Seeing this scene, Rod's heart sank secretly, he looked in all directions, only to see that at this moment, there were undead armies everywhere around. Judging by the outfits of these undead soldiers, it is clear that they are not those stragglers, infantry, cavalry, and even archers and ............... who cross the border Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but look up at the sky, and under the moonlight, he could vaguely see two black shadows hovering in the night sky.
Even the Bone Griffin has it, which is almost as good as the configuration of a regular legion!
But fortunately, there are not as many necromantic soldiers surrounding Rhodes as there are a regular legion, and there are only one or two hundred people in the eye. However, the occasion when these soldiers appeared made Rhodes feel unbelievable——— damn it, this is not the Dark Dragon Country, where are so many undead soldiers killed by heaven in the Duchy of Moon? Are the Border Patrol idiots ready to be hanged?
"Cut, it's really trouble."
Seeing this scene in front of him, Rod couldn't help but grit his teeth. Although he also thought that he could make the other party such a killer, then it means that Natasha must have discovered some incredible secret. But now it seems that this secret is really quite amazing——— an army of the undead hidden in the territory of the Duchy of Moon? Even if they were only one-tenth the size of a normal legion, this damn standard configuration should never have appeared under the skies of the Continent of Light. Although the relationship between Grand Duke Lydia and the Night Dragon Kingdom is not very bad, she will never be able to let the armies of other countries run into the territory of her own country.
So, what are these damn undead legions doing here?
Thinking of this, Rhodes glanced at the carriage and saw that the old coachman was still sitting in front of the carriage——— his body had been completely pierced by the white bone spear. There is no salvation nowhere.
And at this moment, suddenly, with the sound of horses' hooves, a death knight in black armor walked out of the crowd. He raised his head, and under the heavy helmet, two bright red rays of light shot straight at Rhodes, and felt the coldness of the other party. With a lifeless gaze, Rod raised his eyebrows slightly. It's no wonder that any living human wouldn't have any good feelings about the gaze of the undead. And at this moment, Rhodes suddenly saw the long sword hanging from the waist of the death knight——— it was a scimitar that radiated a pale light, like a crescent moon.
Is it him?
"Hand over the box. I will spare you from death. ”
Just when Rod was a little surprised, the death knight had already spoken, and he stretched out his left hand and stretched out it towards Rhodes. And at this time, the rest of the people had already stepped out of the carriage. Seeing the situation in front of her, Natasha screamed in fright and immediately sat down on the ground. Anne, on the other hand, showed her qualities as a shield warrior at this time, and she picked up the heavy pure gold shield beside her with one flip, only to hear a few machine sounds. Soon the heavy shield expanded and enlarged, blocking the two of them behind. And Grundy quickly picked up the long sword at this moment and looked around nervously. On the contrary, Seven Love was very calm, and after a soft snort at the beginning, the elemental lord leaned against the carriage and watched the play.
Hearing the Death Knight's words, Grundy couldn't help but feel angry, and then he immediately stood up. Raise your sword. Point to the Death Knight in front of him.
"This is not a place for you dead to wreak havoc, under the light of the dragon soul of light. What qualifications do you undead who live in eternal darkness have to kill people and stand in the way here? Are you not afraid of causing war? Damn the dead? ”
"Humph!"
Hearing Grundy's words, the red light in the death knight's eyes suddenly began to shrink, and at this time, Grundy felt a powerful suction force suddenly coming from the front, like an invisible giant hand grabbing the long sword in his hand, which made the young man couldn't help but be surprised, he subconsciously clenched the long sword with both hands, trying to pull back his weapon. But no matter how hard the boy tried, he couldn't resist this powerful suction, and soon, Grundi couldn't hold on anymore and let go of his hands. And at this moment, the long sword also flew out of the young man's hand like a bolt of lightning, and flew straight towards the hand of the death knight.
But just as the long sword flew into the air, suddenly, a bright red dot suddenly erupted, and a bright red circle circled around the long sword, and then, the long sword forged from stainless steel immediately fell into several pieces and fell to the ground.
"Huh?"
Seeing this scene, the death knight couldn't help but snort, and then he turned his head and looked at Rod standing in front of him again, but it was different from just now, at this moment, the bright red long sword in Rode's hand was no longer hanging to the ground, but half on Rod's shoulder, looking like a hanger.
"It's obviously a dead man, and it's not good for your body to be so angry. But I also want to know what ——— Vulture is not going to the Stream of Despair to run his own bird's nest, but what is he doing in our Duchy of Moon?" ”
"You know me?"
Hearing Rod's words, the vulture was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect to meet someone who knew him in this place—this was really quite rare, but after the vulture gathered his mind and carefully observed the other party, he found that this young man himself had never seen it before......... But why is he so familiar with himself between the lines in his words?
Rhodes is actually not familiar with vultures, what should be familiar to him is the scimitar called "Pale Blue Moonlight" hanging next to the vulture, this is a pretty good weapon for warriors, in the very beginning of the Dragon Soul Continent, this weapon is difficult to get even players in the Night Dragon Kingdom due to its extremely low drop rate. At that time, being able to have a pale blue moonlight was quite a thing for players of the warrior class. In addition, this scimitar itself is full of powerful negative energy, and the attack area is also wide. The effect in the output is also quite strong, so Rod naturally knows something——— and as the owner of this scimitar, Vulture is the only NPC with this weapon, and it is also a rare knight in the undead army who uses a scimitar to fight. The knife technique of the whistling of the dead in one hand is quite sharp, and for many players, it can be regarded as quite a threat.
As a Death Knight, Vulture does not command large armies in battle in the Night Dragon Nation. On the contrary, most of the tasks he is responsible for are covert operations within the scope of elite soldiers. At this moment, this guy is here, which is not good news for Rod——— but fortunately, according to what Rod knows about vultures. This Death Knight was no more than fifty-five levels in the sky, and he was still a rank that he could barely deal with. If you talk about swordsmanship alone, Rhodes still has the confidence to fight with the other party.
As an undead creature, vultures don't have much of the feelings of living people, although he is a little curious about Rhodes being able to reveal his identity in one bite, but because of this, in the end, vultures decided to kill them——— to know the Dao, originally the mission he carried out this time was very secretive, and should not be known by anyone. And now. This young man not only discovered their existence, but also called out his own name, so for the vulture, this young man naturally has to die!
Thinking of this, the vulture drew the scimitar from his waist without the slightest hesitation, and then swung it forward.
"Attack!"
"Annie, protect those two guys. Seven Loves. You'll take care of the rest, and I'll meet the vulture. ”
At the same time as the vulture gave the order. Rhodes also shouted, and then, his whole person flew from the ground with a dark and narrow shadow in an instant, and even the sword turned into a bright red lightning, and pounced on the death knight in front of him without hindrance.
What a quick attack!
Looking at the sword blade that had reached him in the blink of an eye, the vulture couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, you must know that at this time, Rhodes was still a long distance away from him, and there were dozens of soldiers between the two sides, but it was only a blink of an eye, and this young man was like a ghost who had passed through this line of defense, as if the undead soldiers who were blocking him did not exist at all.
But even so, in the face of the attack in front of him, the death knight did not panic in the slightest, he shouted, the scimitar in his hand slashed straight out, and with the vulture's movements, pale flames immediately burst out from the scimitar, whistling and pounced on Rhodes. But at this moment, Rhodes had already changed direction, he quickly shifted in an almost impossible straight line, and he was able to dodge the pale flames flying past him, but the long sword in his hand did not stop at all, and continued to attack the death knight.
"Humph!"
Seeing that his attack failed, the vulture reacted immediately, he turned over and jumped back, dodging Rod's sword, and at the same time, the death knight reached out and slapped the white bone war horse under him, and felt the huge force from the death knight, the white bone war horse also neighed, and then immediately raised it. And it was this action that made the Bone War Horse the best shield for vultures in an instant.
Rod's sword struck the Bone Horse's body, and then quickly rebounded.
But at this moment, Rod did not give up at all, seeing that his attack was blocked, his first reaction was to immediately sink his body slightly, and the whole person rolled down, rolling under the body of the white bone war horse, and then, the bright red cry in his hand was full of light, whistling, like a meteor like a meteor splitting out of it, shooting straight towards the death knight again.
At this moment, the undead soldiers had also surrounded them, waving their weapons in their hands, trying to completely surround Rhodes. But just as these undead soldiers rushed forward, intending to completely surround Rhodes and completely wipe out this stupid and reckless human being, a dazzling white light made them involuntarily stop.
And at this moment, with a crisp shout, Celia brandished the long sword that burned the silver-white divine flame, stretched her wings, and flew out of the light.
