Chapter 41 It's Assassin's Creed Time
The bonfire flickered, causing the human figures to sway like reeds.
The people who gathered together deliberately spoke in low voices.
"Old Mander, those damned wanderers have dispersed. Xiaopi caught one today." The man who spoke raised his hand and waved: "Chop him off!"
"You should know that we have no grudges against each other."
Old Mand rolled his eyes and pretended not to understand what the other person meant.
There is no hatred among the people living on this land; everyone is just a wild dog digging for food.
Because every time they meet, they have to fight for life and death. Under the instinct of survival, grudges seem a bit petty.
But his companion smacked his lips and said, "I mean the woman they took away."
Old Mander emphasized: "Those women are a burden."
If those women are encountered by me and others again, they will not have a good ending.
Although he would not end well if he fell into the hands of others, as long as he did not suffer in front of him... this was his only remaining conscience.
If there is no food in the settlement, women will become a burden.
But if the settlement is strong, women are the most precious ornaments.
Besides, his companions had already been blinded by "Lady Serin's appreciation".
"Of course they were a burden before, but as long as we surrender to Lady Serin, women who can give birth to children are wealth. I heard that the new noble lord in the east that Lady Serin is loyal to is collecting children to train, and each one can be sold at a good price."
"Lady Serin's request, ah"
Old Mander sighed.
Ever since his gathering place was breached by wanderers, he and a few companions embarked on a wandering journey. In fact, they were just wanderers in a different form.
But they still have their own bottom line.
...For example, not eating your own people.
It may not be easy to complete Lady Serin's mission and officially join Lady Serin's team.
"Click——"
The sound of branches breaking was heard, and Old Mander looked beyond the campfire towards the dead forest ahead.
It was so clear that it was hard to pretend not to hear it.
Someone is approaching.
Not only old Mand noticed it, but the others did too.
Old Mander gave a look, and his companions understood and pretended not to hear each other.
They also had no idea who was coming.
Although it is located in the corner of the border, the forces in this area are not simple, and can even be said to be very complicated.
There are several people that old Mander can't afford to offend.
"Boom" the sound of footsteps.
The other party should be wearing iron-studded boots and armor, and he should make a lot of noise when he walks.
Could it be that the opponent is very powerful and is coming to kill us directly?
Old Mander looked very unhappy.
Although they think they are quite strong, they know their own business. If they really meet a master, even if there is only one, they will be easily defeated.
The same was true for the others, whose swords were slowly unsheathed and gleaming in the firelight.
The volume of the chat also unconsciously lowered.
Suddenly, Old Mand discovered something a little bit wrong. The other party was hiding behind a tree. From Old Mand's perspective, he could not see the other party, but the light from the campfire cast the other party's shadow behind the tree diagonally onto the ground.
Crouching.
Approaching like a thief.
Did this person think he was not discovered?
It can't be that funny.
Old Mander had a strange expression on his face.
It was already dark, and only his companions who were close to him could see the changes in his expression; those who were far away could only see a sticky black mass and a shaky red mass on his face.
"So!" Old Mander raised his voice: "So, which force should we attack better?"
The person who was approaching "quietly" stopped and seemed to be listening attentively, which meant that the other party was a powerful force nearby.
So, where does it come from?
Prey Town, or Wanderer?
Apart from these two places, it is really hard to imagine a third powerful force.
Conquering and gathering the forces west of Longya Mountain Road and east of Misty Cliff, or harassing and beating them until they cry, is the token of allegiance that Lady Serin wants.
The companion understood the look in Old Mander's eyes and immediately said, "Let's start with Prey Town? But it's a bit difficult. I know there's a small gathering place nearby with a lot of people."
"Hmm..." Old Mand's hand gripped the sword more and more tightly. In fact, he was no longer in the mood to chat. He just used the long and drawn-out ending tone to make it look like he was thinking. In fact, he had already instructed his companions with his eyes and gestures.
Next, it’s time to fight hard!
……
Favorite Baisi is in stealth. After the failure of the last stealth experience, he learned from the pain. After several deductions in his mind and searching for special forces stealth skills on the Internet, he finally figured out his own stealth skills.
He immediately got into the state after seeing the fire and hearing someone talking.
Although he stepped on a branch during the process, he was not discovered, which shows that his stealth skills were very successful.
Letting go, my beloved Baisi slowly closed the distance.
He would not make stupid mistakes again, nor would he use the foolish method of throwing stones to test the water.
Now, it's Assassin's Creed time.
Sneak around, assassinate, turn around and leave, without anyone noticing, showing off!
If possible, he would deliberately leave someone behind for interrogation.
The Lord Serin they were talking about was obviously a boss-level character, and Prey Town and the Wanderer were definitely key information to the plot.
That's the fun of opening a map.
My favorite white silk is getting closer and closer.
He raised his sword.
Sneak attack from behind, assassination!
Hey, we players only talk about 12346789!
Push the sword forward, trying to make sure the movement is not too large, trying not to make too much noise, and trying to kill with one strike.
Damn it, I missed the target.
My favorite Baisi suddenly felt something was wrong, especially when she kicked him in the chest, that subtle feeling immediately surged up like a rising tide.
He was not injured, but his body was slightly shaking. He took a step back with his right foot to stop the backward trend.
As the first undead to encounter Lind, Bai Si, the favorite, had long discovered that her body was getting stronger as she continued to upgrade.
This is normal. If players cannot be resurrected infinitely and if they cannot defeat monsters and level up, then there is no need to be called the Fourth Calamity.
Both are indispensable.
His body had strong defense capabilities and he was wearing a very rare and high-quality armor, so the damage to his body was minimal. At most, he was pushed hard and staggered a little.
What made him uncomfortable was that this group of wild monsters seemed to have discovered him a long time ago, and they were pretending to wait for him to get closer.
"Fuck, are all the monsters in this game spirits?"
When I was fighting the jackals before, I was caught by the Dog Fire King. It’s nothing, the other party is a beast.
Later, I went undercover with Xuanwu Shield and the other three to investigate, and encountered the Wanderers. Everyone was very good at fighting, and they were beaten so hard that they were helpless. But it didn't matter, because I won in the end.
Last night's battle with the Scavengers was beyond his imagination. The four of them were beaten up by the low-level monsters and didn't even have the qualifications to fight the Scavenger Princess. But at that time, he still thought it was a big deal because it was a cutscene CG for De Geer to show off his muscles.
Now he was lurking and was crushed by wild monsters with their intelligence and acting skills, and he felt very uncomfortable.
This game is really full of malice towards players.
Each monster is so powerful. It’s okay for you to just fight, but you also can use your brain!
Although I complained a lot in my heart, it only lasted for a moment.
The man who looked quite old drew his sword, strode around the campfire and rushed to the front of his beloved Baisi. He raised the sword high with both hands and chopped it down with the New Year's Sword Technique.
"Bounce back!"
Favorite White Silk reacts very quickly.
He really liked the parrying mechanism. Based on his own experience, he only needed to raise his sword and swing at the moment the opponent raised his hand to create stiffness, and then...
"Bang!" The sword was smashed away by the downward-chopping New Year's Greetings sword technique.
Favorite Baisi's eyes widened. The plot was a little different from what she had imagined. Why couldn't she even deflect a wild monster's downward attack?
