Summoning the Holy Sword

Although the connection knocked down several Bone Giants, the team's speed did not increase as a result.

At the beginning, when Rhodes said that it was necessary to hurry up, almost everyone thought that they would march as fast as they did before, running desperately all the way, defeating the enemy at the fastest speed, and then left here. But in fact this is not the case. Under Rhodes' leadership, the whole team produced a very wonderful distortion. As they moved forward, they were as slow as a turtle crawling, taking three steps and taking two steps back. They were slower than walking in the forest, and they even made them suspect that they were just traveling in the countryside. But once encountering the enemy, Rhodes can't cover his ears with thunder—this is just a nice decoration. If it is described in more practical terms, then he is almost as if attacked by the ghost as fast as he can, and tries his best Defeated it within thirty seconds, and then quickly hid.

I have to say that this look is indeed not elegant in the eyes of everyone, even a little bit embarrassed.

"Humph."

Watching carefully walking in front, stopped from time to time, Rhode looked around like a thief. The thief girl who followed the crowd couldn't help humming.

"Looking at his sneaky look, it's really bad, the head is much better than him."

"Annie sees you talking nonsense."

Annie on the other side obviously had a different opinion on this.

"If it weren't for Annie's leader, it would be impossible for you to defeat these bone giants."

"We never thought we would leave in such a stupid way."

The thief girl apparently didn't care about Annie's justification.

"If led by the head, we would have a better way."

"If that's the case, you don't need to come with the Annies at all."

Annie smiled, but her eyes were cold beyond words.

"Anyway, you can only play tricks, don't you? If you are really sure, your head will not choose to obey orders."

"Don't be kidding, it's just because you saved us that we don't want to reject your kindness."

The Thieves Girl stubbornly turned her head, looking at the surrounding valley, the shadows were shaking, with the indescribable coldness and weirdness. Although this scene made the Thieves Girl a little uncomfortable, at this moment she would rather look at these weird things than want Take a look at the person standing next to you.

"Hmm ..."

After hearing the thief's answer, Annie didn't immediately refute. She looked up and down the girl and snorted meaningfully.

"It turned out that for the sake of face, you can't even kill your life. It's so stupid to be trapped here."

"you!!!"

Hearing here, the thief girl finally couldn't help it anymore, she turned her head sharply and stared angrily at Annie. In the face of the cold eyes of the thief girl, Annie did not mean to look away. She was not afraid to look at each other. Although Annie still had a bright and lively smile on her face, the thief girl could not help but feel A chill in the back, as if watching her was not a human, but a dangerous predator lurking in the dark, and would pounce on his neck at any time.

The face of the girl in front of her suddenly turned into a terrible, sharp mouth full of sharp teeth. The girl clenched the dagger in her hand, but it was just the urgent situation and the reason that she was not a good chance to shoot. Otherwise, she might not Could not help but rushed forward and launched an attack on Annie.

"What are you two doing?"

At this moment, Marin's voice finally broke the deadlock. She stopped and looked at the two people behind her with dissatisfaction. In many cases, Marin was like the deputy head of the mercenary regiment. What Rhode couldn't care about, Li Jie didn't dare to take care of it, and Old Walker didn't have the patience, so whenever this time, Marlene would stand up by herself, and now she found the abnormality of the two people behind her. May sit idly by.

She glanced at the mercenaries next to them, and they seemed as if they had not heard or seen the quarrel between them, which was a very "mature" decision. Marlene is very clear about what these mercenaries are thinking. She and them are not the same person. In fact, she and most mercenaries are not the same person. But now ...

"Sister Marin, she ..."

"We are in a dangerous situation."

Malin reluctantly interrupted Annie's speech. Although it didn't take long to get along with this girl, Marin also almost understood Annie's headache-thinking way of thinking. Most people get along with others, either by their last names or by talking. Even if they don't get along well, they also need to maintain some apparent harmony. This is especially true of ladies like Malin, even if the man in front of her is ugly like a pig, holding her hand while smirking and drooling, but if the other person is a close friend of her family, Malin must also keep Decent, polite smile to face. This is the "mature" way of living.

But Annie is completely the opposite. She doesn't care if others can bring benefits to her or whether others like herself. She relies on a beast-like instinct to choose her friends. It's like a puppy who wags his tail at someone he likes, even if he doesn't feed himself anything. But I only yell at people who do n’t like it, even if it ’s the owner who feeds it every day.

Makes no sense.

So Malin had no intention of persuading the two to stop arguing. This was meaningless. She was more concerned about another matter.

"Whether you like it or not, we are already on this path, there is no way to turn back, so we must continue to go. I hope you can focus on the front, which is very important."

After saying this, Marin quickly walked forward again, and Annie nodded very obediently. Then she stopped talking to the thief girl and continued to look around and focus on her work. Regarding Marin's speech, the thief girl is not convinced, but the other party is a mage. On this continent, the mage is one of the "high-risk people" who can't be provoked. , Then it's better to shut up.

Rhode didn't pay attention to the small disputes behind the team, at the moment he was hiding under the boulder, staring at the sight with a trace of nervousness.

In order to completely eliminate all obstacles on the road, they spent a full five hours, but until now, the sky is still dark. In fact, there is no difference between day and night on this dividing line of dragon soul, so it does not matter at all.

Until now, there were only two bone giants left in the valley. But it was these two bone giants that made Rhodes frown and annoy him.

Their positions are too close.

Most other bone giants are far apart, and they have enough distance, so Rhodes can let the old Walker seduce them one by one and then break each one. But these two bone giants are completely different. They are not one behind the other like the other bone giants, but one left and one right, like two door gods, guarding the exit of the valley. Even if they move occasionally, they will not be too far away. In other words, it is difficult for Rhodes to bring them both separately as before. Instead, he can be sure that no matter what he does, he will only attract both of them at the same time.

This is difficult.

Although everyone has had enough experience in defeating the Bone Giant after fighting along the way, it is an exception when facing two Bone Giants.

If only these two bone giants were left, it ’s okay to say that Marlene has stayed behind, and with her powerful magical attack ability, it is not difficult to cooperate with Rod and Celia to kill one. By then, as long as Serek can If you kill the other, then you are done.

Unfortunately, reality is not so easy.

Rhodes knew that there was a more dangerous enemy behind the valley.

Death knight.

He can be sure that at this distance, if Malin casts a magic attack, the death knight cannot fail to notice that high-level undead creatures are extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of magic power, so they just think that they just cast their silence and cast silence as before. The idea of ​​security is absolutely undesirable. But now, once the death knight is alarmed, Rhodes can be sure that even if he and others are fast enough to be able to kill the bone giant before the death knight arrives, he will inevitably face a battle with the death knight.

But Rhodes was actually reluctant to head-to-head with the Death Knights. Although its level is slightly lower than Serek, but it is only a gap of five or six. This gap is no suspense if it is a confrontation between the living, but it is not so obvious for the dead. Already.

For example, even if the death knight is stabbed in the chest, nothing will happen. But what if Serek was stabbed in the chest?

Hurry up and make a summary of your life. It is important to miss the woman she once held.

So at first, Rhode's plan was for Serek to drag the death knight, then the others quickly evacuated, and finally he and Serek left directly. As long as they can escape the silent highlands, the death knight will not catch up, which is convenient, fast, safe, and not too risky.

But now it looks like his plan is obviously going to fall through. If the death knight rushed into the valley and the terrain here, it would be like a fool, and there would be no way for the people on their side to leave. However, if we have already come here, it is impossible to turn back.

What should I do?

There is no way out. After defeating the Bone Giant, quickly find someone to be a bait to lure the death knight, and then the other person quickly retreats. As long as that person can hold on for a while, Rhode and Serek can move forward to death. The knight dragged, and by that time everything was back on track.

But who can accomplish this task?

Rhode turned and looked at everyone.

Spellcasters such as Malin and Lijie are definitely not thinking about it, which is equivalent to asking them to die. Serek is the strongest, but he must deal with a bone giant. It is not easy to say whether he can defeat the opponent before the death knight arrives. In previous battles, after Rhodes and Celia caught the attention of the Bone Giant, Serek gave another blow to kill. In this battle, no one will help him attract the attention of the opponent, he must solve the problem by himself.

Old Walker? Kudla and his mercenaries?

What a joke, these guys can't stop even ordinary undead creatures, and letting them stop the death knight is simply seeking their own way. And this mission was meant to rescue them safely. If these guys died here, it would not make any sense.

Then ...

Rhode was silent for a moment, then waved back.

"Anne, come here."

"Head, what's the matter?"

Upon hearing Rhode's call, Annie immediately trot all the way to Rhode's side, her eyes widened and looking at him intently, almost no tail was swaying back and forth.

Don't say it, this is really ...

"I have a plan."

Rhode said, walked in front of Annie, then leaned down and whispered a few words, then he looked up and looked at the young girl seriously.

"If this happens, you know what I mean, would you be willing to take on this task?"

"of course!"

Annie did not hesitate, nodded quickly.

"I will do whatever the head asks me."

Rhodes would nod his head and say nothing more if he changed his usual way. But this time, he frowned, and then spoke again.

"The death knight is about thirty-five, a monster with strength close to that of the cricket. If you feel that you are under pressure, you can raise it. I will not let you take the risk. Because if you ca n’t do it, you do n’t have to If we do, our danger will only be as great. "

"I understand, head."

Annie nodded.

"But I think that's why I'm here, I'm confident."

"………………"

Looking at the girl's clear eyes, Rhodes was silent. He looked at the girl in front of him. He had no idea where Annie ’s confidence came from. Rhodes was not good at guessing the psychology of the female surname, not to mention that Anne had only been with him for two or three days. And this girl's last name is so detached. But this is not the reason for her to die. In the game, mt is dead and dies, and it is a big deal to resurrect the corpse and run again. But in reality, they don't have a chance to come again. Rhodes didn't really want to do this, but now it looks like he has no choice.

Not far away, Li Jie and Marin gave each other a puzzled look. They were a little disturbed. They didn't know what Rhode had said to Annie, but this time Rhode didn't start the offensive immediately, but instead recruited Annie It can be seen that things seem to have changed.

"I'll get it done as soon as possible, and you must hold on until then."

Finally, Rhodes patted Annie's shoulder and said.

In the face of Rhode's words, the young girl showed the same youthful smile as before.

"Relax, Chief, I will be fine
