From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 173 Sneak Attack, Seize Home【4K】

People are iron rice and steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be very hungry.

Food and grass is a big deal. No matter what time there is no food, no matter how good a soldier is, he can't win a battle. If Ryan doesn't want to go to the point of cannibalism, then he must immediately prepare to think about where to get food.

Opening up the military map, although the one in their hands is very crude, it can at least remind them of the approximate location and direction.

After repeated screening by Allen's human figure measuring instrument, Ryan and others roughly determined the location of the army, and also saw the rough location of the surrounding towns.

Ryan and his party, at least there are nearly 3000 people, people eat horse chews, and ordinary small towns may not be able to solve it, and now Earl William is rebelling, and the food of the whole army is cut off by a small half, plus Turtshire Being blocked, there is a high probability that food outside will not be delivered.

In other words, food will basically be a scarce resource in the future and must not be sloppy.

"Let's go to the nearest small town. No matter what, we must collect some food to deal with it first, at least we must be able to persist until we join the main force."

Ryan pointed to a place on the map, and everyone had no opinion. The soldiers are all human beings, not robots without physical needs and emotions. If they can't even provide basic food, no fool will work with you.

The team set off in the early morning of the next day after eating the only food available. Both the production and stock of food during the war were greatly affected, even though this was the southern border that was rich in food.

The small town that Ryan had just selected collected only a small amount of food, and this was only because of the treatment that Ryan had received from the "army under pressure". For this reason, Ryan had to continue to set off to the surrounding towns, with the momentum of searching all the way. .

In fact, Ryan only needs to loot the town to get a lot of food like other nobles. To be realistic, if they don't want it now, it will be cheaper for the rebels in the future.

Moreover, as long as the beheaded civilians cut off their ears, they can still make military merits. It is not uncommon to "kill the good and pretend to be meritorious deeds", not to mention the current situation. It is military merit.

Of course, Ryan never thought of doing that, even if this kind of thing is very common.

Although he thought he was not a good person, he still had a bit of conscience, so he couldn't do such a thing.

Fortunately, the Southern Territory has a strong foundation, and along the way, he obtained a batch of food as he wished, and finally solved the urgent matter.

Ryan, who had food, didn't delay anymore. Although he had tried to let Chells and Earl Donald know, a few days had passed, and there was no movement like a stone sinking into the sea.

This made him have a bad premonition in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh, relying on the sky and the earth is worse than relying on himself...

At this moment, the Soul Devouring Ring, which had absorbed a huge amount of soul power, was also quietly undergoing unknown changes. It looked cautious like a child who was afraid of breaking things.

In the inner space, the floating ball of light has expanded many times than before, and there is a burst of chewing smell coming from inside, which makes people shudder.

In an inconspicuous corner, a gray mist floats in it. It seems to be afraid of the weird noise in the light ball, as if it has encountered some natural enemy. It used to be too scared to come out, so it can only shrink in the corner shivering.

But this time, the influx of soul power was too much, so much that the being conceived in the light sphere had devoted himself to "eating", reducing its deterrent power to him. Dare to steal some unremarkable free soul power and slowly grow up.

This wisp of gray mist is naturally the soul of the Holy Lord who survived the catastrophe, but to be more precise, he can only be regarded as a remnant soul, which is the effect of recovering from "picking up garbage and eating" these days.

Its slow recovery finally gave those who were looking for it a goal and direction, and the whole thing is a large GPS positioning mark.

But these Ryan are not clear, he is now studying the next course of action in the temporary station.

Judging from the map, they are only two days away from the previously scheduled battlefield, but this section of the road is also more dangerous. After all, this is already a marginal area, where the noble coalition forces and rebels are fighting. It's easy to get hit.

It would be fine if they ran into one of their own, but I was afraid that they would encounter the army under Earl William or the army of the rebels, and a bloody battle would be inevitable.

Ryan has no intention of continuing to bleed and sacrifice. He just wants to find a large army, and then eat and die until this damn war is over!

"Ray, I have sent people out, and there will be results soon." Alan walked in from the outside and said softly.

Since they have never been here before, and they are not the main force participating in the war, they have no specific location of the large force at all.

So Ryan asked Allen to send some scouts to search in several directions. If he found it, he could wait for the big troops to come to meet him. If he didn't find it, he could rule out those directions, so as not to waste time.

While this also increases the risk of exposure, Lane thinks it's worth it.

He nodded and said, "Okay, let's set up camp here tonight, arrange more sentries and patrols, and stop cooking at night. Let the soldiers deal with it with dry food."

Lighting a fire and cooking will most likely reveal their position. They don't have magicians who can shield or hide the cooking smoke. Under the current situation, one should be more cautious, and be careful to sail for thousands of years.

"I'm all set."

Allen's work is very worry-free for Ryan, because he often thinks about it with Ryan, and even thinks more about it, so he doesn't need to worry about it at all.

Although David Bella and Baron John are also the commanders of the army, they have willingly handed over the command to Ryan.

Because the two of them could see from the breakout that they were still not suitable for making contributions on the battlefield, so they handed over to Ryan, a "suitable" person, very self-aware.

There is one thing to say, although Ryan's reputation is not obvious, he has made a lot of military exploits, large and small, and he is indeed a model of pure military merit.So they completely trusted Ryan, although they had no choice.

The heat of summer has not yet passed, so the temperature at night is still very high. A breeze blows through the river and woods and descends on this temporary camp, bringing rare coolness to the soldiers.

"Ah, the wind came at the right time, and the bad temperature is really unbearable." A soldier on guard complained in a low voice.

The soldiers on the same post nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, although they are all in the southern border, it is much hotter than Karna. I really hope that I can go back soon. The wheat is about to be harvested. How's the harvest?"

The soldier before was about to answer, but he only felt an extremely cold wind blowing over his bare/exposed skin, which made goosebumps all over his body, and he shivered and said, "Damn it, why is it so sudden? so cold."

"Huh? Your brain is burnt out, isn't it still very hot?" The soldier from Karna looked at him strangely and said.

"But it was really cold just now."

"Oh, poor man, your brain must be burning out, I swear."

"What are you..."

The two soldiers on guard quarreled in low voices, and the cold wind circled around the camp, and finally blew on Ryan's tent.

Ryan is checking the Soul Eater Ring at this time. He has been very busy these days, and he has not had time to check the changes inside it. Tonight, he always feels that there is something wrong with it, so he took the time to check it out.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, when you see him, you will be stunned immediately, good guy, the light cluster has expanded more than ten times than before, and it is as dazzling as the sun in Ryan's perception.

"It's really miraculous, these soul powers will gather together without any rejection."

Ryan secretly sighed, and randomly probed his mental power into the inside of the light ball. He did this not once or twice, and there has never been an accident, so he didn't do any special protection this time.

As soon as the mental power was "squeezed" in, he was stunned by the chewing sound of "click, click". The sound came from nowhere, but it was so clear that it made people feel cold all over.

And just when he was shocked by the source of the sound, the remnant soul of the Holy Lord in the corner of the space suddenly seized the opportunity and quietly attached to Ryan's spiritual power.

Although he was just a remnant soul, the life levels of the two were not at the same level at all, and the methods were so different that Ryan didn't notice it at all.

After Ryan searched to no avail, he had to withdraw his mental power from the ring, and the remnant soul of the Holy Lord also entered Ryan's mind logically, but at this moment, he still didn't notice anything...

"crash"

A gust of wind blew away the curtains of Ryan's tent, and Ryan suddenly felt the hairs all over his body standing up. Before he could do anything, a series of dark magic lines spread rapidly from the outside of the tent to the inside, and soon the ground was covered with twisted and cumbersome patterns. magic pattern.

In Ryan's perception, the tent at this moment seems to have turned into a cage, and the surroundings are shrouded by an extremely secret force, which feels somewhat similar to a magic circle.

"You dare to barge into the barracks, how brave you are!" Ryan regained his composure, and sat down firmly in his seat, scolding in a cold voice.

"Hehe, don't bother your Excellency the baron. This magic circle has completely imprisoned this place. Not only can you not get out, but you can't even make your voice go out." A somewhat feminine voice came faintly, and some people couldn't tell the direction. .

The next moment, groups of black shadows quietly appeared in front of Ryan, and turned into five men in black robes who couldn't see their faces clearly.

They were watching Ryan, and Ryan was watching them. There were five people on the other side, and the leader had a deep breath, which made him feel a little stressed.And the remaining few people can also be said to be strong, and it is estimated that they are only one step away from the advanced ranks.

He couldn't help laughing at himself and said, "You guys are really willing to pay for such a powerful force to deal with me."

"Of course Baron Black is not an ordinary person. Naturally, we must pay enough attention to it. Please also invite the soul of the Holy Lord, so that we can save you from suffering."

The leading man in the feminine black robe said slowly, as if he knew Ryan very well.

"Oh, then I should really feel honored. Baron Jin Yanhua told you all? Is that unlucky guy still alive?" Ryan asked with a sarcasm on his face as he secretly gathered an offensive.

"You talk too much."

A black-robed man with an indifferent voice stood up, and he raised his right hand under the robe. There was no flesh and blood, only white bones.

The moment the bone arm was raised, it turned into a bone snake, spit out the bone snake letter and rushed towards Ryan.

Naturally, Ryan couldn't sit still, and the offensive he had prepared for a long time erupted in an instant. His speed was so fast that afterimages appeared, and with a flash of silver light, he raised the knife and fell, and the bone snake was instantly chopped into pieces two cuts.

The man in black screamed in pain, and before he could run away, Ryan had already thrown the saber in his hand and pinned him mercilessly to the ground.

No matter how close to high-level it is, it is also mid-level. With Ryan's current strength, it is enough to kill instantly!

The rest of the men in black robes were shocked by Ryan's actions, and they didn't expect the other party to solve one of them so simply and neatly.

"Let's go together!" A soft voice sounded, and the four men in black robes immediately resorted to their means.

Someone sprinkled a mist that could paralyze the soul, someone turned into a tall black giant, someone stretched out his arms and turned into two bone snakes...

Ryan flexibly fell to the edge of the tent, and he was as dazzling as a large light bulb wrapped in vindictiveness.

【Legend Comes】

At the moment of crisis, Ryan once again reluctantly used the knight's combat skills that should only be mastered by a great knight.

A tall phantom of a knight holding a sword and shield emerged behind Ryan. The phantom of the knight had a majestic face and his aura was fully open. Just opening and closing his eyes slightly made the fog roll back.

Before the black-robed man was shocked, the knight phantom slowly raised the knight sword in his hand, and slashed out with a sword, a blazing sword light instantly tore apart the black-robed man who turned into a giant and spread the mist.

"You are a great knight!" A feminine scream sounded, and the leading black-robed man was filled with shock. The information he received was clearly not the case.

"Hmph, only now do you know? It's too late!"

Ryan stepped out, a vindictive halo spread from his feet, and the phantom of the knight behind him took a step, but he actually made the sound of landing in phantom form.

"withdraw!"

The leading man in black robe roared unwillingly, and then prepared to flee with the surviving man in black robe.

How could Ryan make them fulfill their wishes, and tried his best to let the knight phantom slash out the last sword. This sword contained a majestic fighting spirit, and the man in black immediately felt his life was threatened.

He resolutely used the last black-robed man as a human shield, and the poor unlucky man only lasted for a few breaths before he was finished, and the rest of the sword still fell on him.

With a scream, the man in black fled away at a high speed, and at this moment, Xiyue in the tent not far away finally noticed the abnormality, and immediately chased after him with a longbow.

Ryan was extremely weak at the moment, and he felt at ease when he saw Xiyue chasing him through the gap in the curtain, and lay down on the ground.

At this moment, the remnant soul of the Holy Master in his mind suddenly became excited. He could feel that Ryan was extremely weak at the moment, and his fighting spirit and mental power were almost exhausted. It was a great opportunity for him to occupy the magpie's nest.

"Jie Jie"

The remnant soul of the Holy Master let out a strange laugh, and rushed into Ryan's consciousness space in an instant...
