Lord of War

On the Gobi wasteland, yellow sand is flying all over the sky.

A yellow lizard was crawling on the ground, it carefully and cautiously stared at a spotted snake not far ahead.

That's its prey, and it's been staring at this spotted snake for a long time.

The yellow lizard cautiously moved forward a few steps, and the spotted snake seemed to notice it, and suddenly coiled up.

At such a moment, the yellow lizard leaped out like lightning, and opened its mouth to bite the spotted snake's seven inches. The intense pain made the spotted snake crazily twist its body, wrapping its entire body around the yellow lizard, but the two The size difference is so great that the movement of the spotted snake is just doing useless work. After a while like this, the spotted snake finally stopped moving, and the yellow lizard spit out the spotted snake, ready to enjoy its delicious meal.

Suddenly, the yellow lizard seemed to sense something, it raised its head and looked to the side, watching there vigilantly. After passing the gate in this way, in a few seconds, the yellow lizard picked up the spotted snake on the ground in one bite, turned around and fled far away into the depths of the Gobi.

After a while, maybe a few seconds or a dozen seconds.

At the place where the yellow lizards were staring at, a shadowy black silhouette finally appeared.

The strong wind blew, as if a hand was waving violently in the air, and the yellow sand flying all over the sky was violently swept aside by this hand.

The black silhouette finally revealed his figure.

This is a convoy.

Leading the charge were five riders, all wearing a black hooded cloak. The hood has been pulled up, and a layer of black veil has been put down on the hood to cover the faces of the flag bearers. This layer of veil is woven with a very special technique, and its biggest function is to block the people on this Gobi wasteland. The wind and sand are blowing, but it will not affect the sight of the person wearing the hood.

The horse under the flag bearer hangs an iron shield on the left back, and a scimitar hangs on the left front. When necessary, these riders can pull out the scimitar and act as a cavalry. However, the weapons they rely on in real battles are still the long swords and iron shields hanging on their waists, but because of the cover of the hoods and cloaks, only a small part of the scabbard can be vaguely seen.

Behind the five riders was a red carriage.

The carriage is very well maintained, but it can be seen that it is quite old. There are some differences between this carriage and ordinary carriages, that is, its area is nearly half a meter wider than ordinary carriages, and its length is also more than one meter longer than the normal standard. It bends down to form a semi-circular arc, which can block the direct sunlight from hitting the driver's face, but it will not affect the driver's sight.

This is a standard long-distance carriage on the Miracle Continent. It is specially suitable for long-distance travel. Therefore, not only the body has been specially modified, but the wheels have also been modified. Apart from being unable to walk on water and forests, it can be said to be suitable for almost any terrain.

Of course, the number of horses pulling the cart will increase to six accordingly.

The attire of the coachman was similar to those of the standard bearers, still a hooded cloak with bó gauze, but because of his sitting posture, the sword hanging from his waist was much more obvious. And beside the car seat, there is also an iron shield fixed, but compared with the standard bearer, it lacks a machete.

In this convoy, there are a total of three such carriages.

After the carriage, there are five flatbed trucks. There are not many things placed on this truck, because the sunscreen cloth didn't even bulge when it was covered.

However, on the second truck, there are some round metal objects protruding from the truck. From the subtle point of view, these metal objects are likely to be long guns or something similar to them, and this arrangement method is also It is very helpful for the people around to pull these weapons out of the truck in the first place without having to remove the sunscreen first.

At the end of the truck, there were still five flag bearers, and they were exactly the same as the first five, whether in attire or other configurations. In addition, there were three standard bearers guarding each side of the carriage and the truck.

There are sixteen flag bearers and three coachmen in total.

The team's walking speed is not fast, but it is very stable, and the defensive force layout is also very even. Although the number of people is small, they have arranged a regular guard formation impeccably. The six flag bearers in the middle can form a support force at the first time no matter whether the enemy appears in front or behind. Although the offensive ability is slightly insufficient, they rely on trucks It is enough to resist with the carriage.

This convoy is naturally Sean and the group of veterans who came to join him from Tindersburg.

They set off from Seroda Village, took a short cut to the border of the Portoroa Kingdom, and then went all the way south. It took almost half a year to cross the two kingdoms before finally arriving at this Gobi wasteland.

In the past six months, they have experienced countless battles. There are bandits, there are bandits, there are also local troops who come out to hunt wild eaters to join bandits, and there are even a group of villagers who have to pick up agricultural tools such as horse forks, iron picks, and shovels because of the famine. There are winners and losers in the battle, the most dangerous one is of course the local army who cameo as bandits, how could it be possible to win against a regular army of 100 men with only 19 guards, but Xiao En still fought fiercely with them There was one.

There is no other reason. After taking away half of Sean's property, the regular army who played the role of robbers actually wanted to get their hands on Cecilia and Hina. So the outbreak of fighting is naturally inevitable.

In that battle, Xiao En and others can be said to have won miserably.

The fighting power of the regular army is by no means comparable to that of Xiao En and the others. As soon as the two sides started fighting, Xiao En and the others felt intense pressure. If it wasn't for Sean and Alfred, two relatively perverted people in the team, and if it wasn't for the mage Cecilia, Sean and the others would have died in that battle long ago. , it was Alfred who forcibly killed the opponent's commander at the cost of serious injuries, wiped out one-third of the opponent's troops at the cost of Cecilia's fainting, and blocked the opponent's onslaught at the cost of veterans who were seriously injured and dying.

Sean, on the other hand, became the last straw that crushed each other.

The enemy ends up routing, not being wiped out. But Xiao En and the others were almost completely annihilated. The reason why they didn't die now was because Xiao En asked the priests of the temple to save everyone's lives for the price of a gold coin, and then they hid It took two full months of recuperation to recover.

This is why it took Xiao En and others nearly half a year to arrive at this Gobi wasteland.

But that battle to the death was not without gains.

The biggest gain is not that these veterans are more loyal to Sean, nor that the veterans are stronger, and it is not that these veterans have faith and thus are promoted to the third-level army, but that Cecilia and Alfred two There is a leap in human strength.

The first is Cecilia. She has discovered that she has officially become a magician, and her control over magic power is much more precise. At least now that she casts magic, the magic power will be more condensed, and it will not be wasted because the magic power is not concentrated enough. In addition, under Xiao En's suggestion, she did not study the same kind of second-line magic like other official magicians, but developed towards the direction of more advanced fire-type magic.

Today's Cecilia already possesses a combat power comparable to that of a Tier 4 profession. What she lacks is only combat awareness. As for combat experience, with a BU like Xiao En, she will never lack it. It only needs to go through a few actual combats to master it.

As for Alfred, Sean can already be sure that this guy is definitely of physique.

The scars on his body were too many to count, like countless centipedes crawling and entangled on his body, which looked extremely hideous and terrifying. Even after that battle, Xiao En found a priest to treat him, but he was still in a state of high fever and coma. Even the priest couldn't do anything about it. He just said that whether he can wake up depends on his own will and then left. people.

During that time, Sean was really worried that Alfred would not survive.

But it turned out afterwards that Sean's worries were simply unnecessary. Three days later, Alfred finally woke up, and his stamina increased by as much as ten points, reaching forty points. This stamina value is completely equivalent to that of Duluen. You must know that Duruen has the data only because he has an extremely excellent and balanced nutrition combination and targeted training since he was a child. It is not necessarily possible for ordinary nobles to cultivate such attributes. .

After all, once any attribute exceeds forty points, there will be a qualitative change, because that is already a silver-level strength.

For example, in the fight with the demonized Mario in Tindersburg, Sean was almost burnt to death just by being rubbed, but Mario was punched flying from the front, but only a few bones were broken. This is the gap in attributes.

It's just that Alfred, a strength-based wrestler, actually has more stamina than strength. Sean really doesn't know what to say about him. Even now, this guy's agility value is still at 17 points. Such an obvious gap will definitely become his biggest weakness. Moreover, Alfred's situation has obviously reached the growth limit of bronze strength. Unless he is a low-ranking silver who has stepped into the fifth level, otherwise, even if he experiences the tragic situation of fighting with the regular army again, he will not have it. The slightest numerical increase.

In the same way, Cecilia has basically reached the growth limit of bronze-level strength. Her intelligence and will attributes are as high as 32 points and 36 points respectively without the increase of the blood-striped hexagonal ring.

And the growth limit of bronze strength is forty.

Forty-one, already belongs to the strength of the silver level.

At this time, Sean, who was in the first carriage, was thinking hard about how to make the two of them become fourth-tier occupations as soon as possible. Cecilia may still have a while, but Alfred has already become the current one. Hurry up, he has been at the lower Bronze Peak for a long time. And besides that, Sean actually has a lot of troubles himself. He has just a little bit of experience before he can be promoted to level five and get the first curse mark.

Curse-sealed swordsmen, at the fifth and tenth levels, can each obtain a curse-sealed right. And only the curse-sealed swordsman who has mastered the curse-seal pattern is the real curse-sealed swordsman, otherwise, he is just a swordsman who can cast magic, or a magician who can use swordsmanship.

And Sean's current problem is what kind of power he wants to seal with the first curse mark.

After all, a curse-sealed swordsman can only have at most two curse-sealed patterns, so what kind of power to seal has become a question that every curse-sealed swordsman needs to think carefully. This kind of power is accompanied by the seal swordsman's life. Once the seal is completed and formed into a seal, it can no longer be changed, and depending on the power of the seal, the fighting style and method will also change accordingly.

Back in the game, the mainstream spells of the curse-sealed swordsmen were all based on strength. After all, they used lightness as their core tactic, so the advantage in speed was not a problem at all. Naturally, what was needed was a more powerful attack. force. But after the battle that was almost destroyed, Sean had a completely different view.

In this world, attack power is indeed very important, but because there is no limit such as blood bars, as long as it hits a vital point, it is a one-hit kill, so attack power can actually be achieved more by relying on the sharpness of the weapon.

What Xiao En currently lacks is actually the ability to save his life.

Just as Sean was thinking, there was a knock on the carriage door, followed by a deep voice: "Master Sean, we have encountered a little trouble." (To be continued)【】If you If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
