hero destiny

It takes about [-] days to ride horses from Kleensus to Port of Thunder. The main reason is that the roads are not smooth and there are many forests. The only thing that makes people feel comfortable is that the terrain is fairly flat and there are no dangerous mountain roads.

Since the task this time was to transport supplies, the transport team consisted of a hundred carts and 300 people. Although they were all equipped with large animals such as lion pack horses and kodo beasts, it took less than a month to reach Thunder Port. time is impossible.

The mercenary team of 500 people belonging to Captain Lance who came to Kleinsus for help is the guard of this baggage team. It has been more than ten days since the team set off, and everything on the road is relatively peaceful, only two or three monster kittens and puppies , and were quickly dismissed by the guarding mercenaries.

In the past few days, Redding has quickly gotten along with the leaders of several mercenary regiments, and has a detailed understanding of their basic forces. The overall situation doesn't look too bad—compared to the current mercenary regiments. group system.

The members of these mercenary regiments are mostly civilians, without any formal training, but they have participated in some missions to hunt monsters. They can be regarded as veterans who have seen blood on the battlefield. Most of their combat levels are between 11 and 19. There are very few elites who have the Bronze level, but they are all below level 25, and they only know basic skills. Their occupations are mainly fighters and hunters. They don't have much magic power, and their overall combat effectiveness is very ordinary.

There are only a few leaders of the mercenary regiment who have a little capital and know a few combat skills—probably passed down from their families or learned in battle. Only two people have attracted Lading's special attention. They are from the Red Arrow. Longshan Gadri and the team leader Angela.

Longshan Gadrilaidin has dealt with him in the game, and he is considered an acquaintance. Now his combat power is similar to that in the game. He belongs to the primary level of the Black Iron Rank. According to Leiding's calculation, it is estimated to be around level 32. His Longshan The epee belongs to family martial arts. His ancestors developed it and learned systematic martial arts skills.

And Angela, the third captain of the Red Arrow Mercenary Corps, is intriguing. This woman who looks familiar to Laiding has obviously studied the skill system of paladins systematically, and has also dabbled in the skills of fighters and stalkers. If not all Everyone said that she was born as a commoner, and her family was in Port Thunder. Nalaidin must have thought that she was the daughter of a noble family and had received a systematic education.

Angela's demeanor Leiding can often appreciate it during the march, because she is always tireless, patiently and enthusiastically giving advice to every ordinary mercenary who asks her for advice. Experts feel refreshed.What kind of commoner family can hand over such a capable woman?The level of the upper bronze level, and it is the level that breaks through the boundary of the black iron level. Judging by her age, she is in the aristocratic academy of Kleensus. Such abilities are rare, let alone ordinary civilians ...

On the march, Ledin practiced his magic silently. This was his habit. Whether he was thinking about things, traveling, eating or doing anything else, as long as he could practice, Ledin would never let go. The overall mana value Above 40%, he must be honing the magical skills he has learned, otherwise he will engage in combat meditation or deep meditation.

The magic books made are very suitable. Now the two magic books are aimed at mages and warlocks, and they are filled with Lading's own magic. Although the level is not high, the large number can still play a big role in battle. Ding also checked the situation of Sha Rui's spellbook and asked her to store five healing spells and one smiting spell for emergencies.

In order to fight, Ledin specially learned two magic spells of warlocks, Corruption and Curse of Pain, in order to enhance his attack ability in battle.Corrosion: requires energy level 2.0, continuous effective spell, creates a damage range of 5*5 meters, corrodes the target in it every second, causing a small amount of damage, and can be advanced; pain curse: requires energy level 2.5, continuous effective spell, for A single target causes damage, and the damage is done every ten seconds. The damage and duration are determined by the level, and can be advanced.

Originally, Ledin was not willing to learn more magic at the low level, but in this era of war, in order to obtain a greater chance of winning, he still needs to reserve more skills. If there is no time or the use is not great, then give up the proficiency of these magic Just practice.

"Captain Angela, um, um, can you~~ explain to me how to practice the heavy chop skill?" During the lunch break, a member of the Red Arrow mercenary team asked Angela a question with a blushing face. In his eyes, the beautiful Captain Angela is like a holy angel, noble but humble.

"Am, don't be so shy, just ask if you have any questions." Angela readily agreed without any airs or displeasure.

"Let me show you the general skills of this melee class. Pay attention to my gestures and body rhythm, and I will tell you about the muscle retraction and exertion skills later." Angela immediately drew out her sword and gave him The team members demonstrate martial arts.

I saw her hold the sword in both hands, raised it high, and slashed suddenly to the lower left of her body. She did it in one go without any delay. look like.

Angela took a sword flower in her hand, and inserted the long sword back into the scabbard on her back, "Come on, you do a few heavy chops, the main thing you need to pay attention to in the middle is to transform the power of the waist and abdomen on the weapon in your hand." , You need to practice more on the technique of exerting strength. Now you start practicing, and I will correct you." Angela did not have the slightest intention of avoiding others, and enthusiastically increased the knowledge of martial arts for the members.

Seeing the action of retracting the sword, Ledin almost lost the magic he was practicing uncontrollably. This is the signature action of all the arcane swordsmen in Teacher Windsor's lineage. He once injured himself in order to practice this action. Woolen cloth.

Who is she?Teacher Windsor, Port of Thunder... The long-lost dusty memories have long been forgotten, and Ledin is trying to retrieve the memories in his mind, and the mage will not forget them—because of the impression technique, Ledin can view all the memories in his mind, but Need clues.

"I see, Angela Drake, the hero of the Northland, the defender of Port Thunder, and the sister of Windsor, is actually her, no wonder she has achieved such achievements at this age! I can't think of this, Damn it." Ledding murmured.But it's understandable. Ever since Klein's last glory ended, Angela's deeds have indeed disappeared in the turbulent situation of Enfas. Except for Mentor Windsor and his early disciples, it is estimated that no one can remember this former hero. .

Looking at Windsor's achievements, it is clear that her own sister is definitely not an ordinary person. Of the nine students directly taught by Windsor, the worst has reached the tenth level of perfect physical condition, and has at least 500 years of life span. At this time In terms of the state of Enfas Continent, it is a top existence.

And what about the teacher's achievement?One of the nine speakers of the Star and Moon Council, a duke title, and a thirteenth-rank secret master.And what about the older sister she adored since she was a child?If Angela can live to that time, her achievements will definitely be even higher, it's a pity for this hero.

Thinking of the former teacher who was so sad about his sister's departure, always looking at her portrait and weeping silently, Ledding felt that he should do something, no matter what, he couldn't let the previous tragedy happen and tarnish the honor of the nobility!If the battle to defend Port Thunder begins, then Ledding vows to protect this important town in the Northland and not let heroes bleed.

In the plot setting before the game started, Angela, an admirable hero, led ordinary people and herds of bloody battles for 30 days in order to defend Port Thunder after the shameful escape of nobles and the retreat of most professionals. In the event of any assistance, the people who led Thunder Port persisted for a whole month, and finally sacrificed heroically on the city wall of Thunder Port. Under her leadership, they finally successfully defended the entire Thunder Port and its people, and waited. Late reinforcements.Although the people were rescued, she fell before the dawn of victory. All the people in Port Thunder who had been reborn believed that she was a real hero and an idol in Windsor's heart. The people of Port Thunder built a statue for Angela. , engraved her heroic deeds under the statue, and all the people who come to Port Thunder will come to pay respects to the heroic deeds of this legendary warrior.

In Redding's memory, this heroine is also one of the characters he admires, because he knows that even in the game, it is impossible to achieve such selfless dedication without asking for rewards, so such a character deserves his respect. Now The hero was right in front of him, and Ledding's eyes became eager.

Sha Rui, who came to Laidin to exchange her magic skills, stood under a tree not far away. She had been paying attention to Laidin for a while, and when she saw Laidin staring at other beauties, there was enthusiasm in her eyes. Sighed from the side, it seems that the hero is a sad beauty pass.In Shari's view, everything about Ledin is excellent, but unfortunately he is a bit lecherous, but excellent men are like this in Enfas Continent, and the kingdom's laws also stipulate that those with excellent bloodlines are encouraged to marry more wives and have more children, so that civilized The power of the power increases.

Sha Rui drove away the uneasiness in her heart. She walked to Leiding's side, took the initiative to hold Leiding's hand, and said: "Ledding, I know what you think about me, as long as you treat me well in the future. She... ..." After all, it was a young girl, she pointed to Angela, and Sha Rui, who was more tender-skinned, said that she couldn't continue here.

"Sha Rui, you misunderstood." Ledding saw this posture, and knew that Sha Rui was thinking wrong.

"You don't need to explain, just promise me." Sharui didn't ask Laidin to explain, she didn't think it was necessary, and Laidin's situation made Sharui feel that she should get to know the red-haired woman in front of her, maybe in the days to come They have to support each other.

In the order of the Enfas Continent, only her direct children can inherit a woman's property, while the man's property inheritance right is shared equally among his wife, not his children.In this barbaric and ignorant world, men have to bear many responsibilities, and exterminating monsters is the responsibility that every noble and noble must fulfill. However, this job is extremely dangerous, so the ratio of men to women is unbalanced, and some areas even reach 1:2 and above, and even in some local laws, even civilians must marry more than two wives in order to maintain the normal development of a civilized society and prevent them from being devoured by wild beasts.

Leiding couldn't make Sha Rui feel at ease, he could only hold her hand and let her feel his fiery heart.

"Shari, don't think so much, I will guard by your side, I am your knight alone." Ledin conveyed his heart to his princess.

Staring blankly at Ledding's eyes, Sha Rui felt the warmth of her palm and the incomparable enthusiasm of the young man in front of her, but she didn't say anything, just holding Ledding's hand like this.

When the young lovers, Sha Rui and Ledding, had a misunderstanding because of their feelings, a group of people in the distant forest was lurking, waiting for Ledding and their material transportation team to step into the trap they had prepared.

After the rest, the team of supplies began to move forward. It was already the afternoon of No.13.

"Scout team, is there anything wrong?" Lance's loud voice could be heard from far away.

"Report to the captain, there is no abnormality within the ten-mile radius of the supply team." A scout cavalry immediately answered the commander's question.

"Ledding, Ledding, report the battlefield detection situation." Lance's order sounded like a shout.

"The mana detection shows that there are no threatening targets within ten miles nearby, but there is weak mana interference within about fifteen miles in the direction of the team. The current distance is too far to confirm the situation." Ledding immediately walked to Captain Lance's side and did his duty. Answered his findings. Mana interference is a very practical anti-detection method on the battlefield, but those opponents are regular troops, not monsters. Ledding is also out of habit, and truthfully reported the places where accidents may occur .

"Mana interference? Very good, my adjutant." Lance patted Leding on the shoulder, "Now we may be in trouble, the regular army cavalry battalion that was originally following our team would send out messengers every three hours to deliver the message One message, but now more than six hours have passed, that is, since this morning, no messengers have appeared. If the first time was due to an accident, then there was something wrong with the two times. I don’t know what happened there , my adjutant, tell me what you think."

Lading also knew that the messenger did not arrive on time. After all, in this battlefield environment with poor information, accidents are very common, but two consecutive communications were not received normally, and there was no prior notice. accident.

He pondered for a while, and asked Captain Lance, "Where are the scouts we don't have? Have you been in touch with the cavalry battalion over there?" Redding knew that Captain Lance had sent scouts to respond to the orderlies in the morning.

"I haven't come back yet, and there is no news." Captain Lance gave the answer.

"In my opinion, it is estimated that someone is staring at our supplies. The biggest effect of mana interference is to shield magic detection, so as to achieve the purpose of hiding and ambush. However, it is used in large-scale battlefield operations. Here Using mana to interfere, the enemy is clearly telling us that I am in ambush, and there will be no such stupid opponents? To be on the safe side, I suggest strengthening the security of the transportation team. After five miles ahead, I will do a detailed mana detection. If there is someone Get our attention, and it will be very obvious." Ledin didn't believe that someone would use such a stupid method to shield mana, let alone some trick.

At this time, the entire cavalry battalion that Captain Lance was concerned about was waiting in depression. In front of them was the endless buffalo brigade, starting from the horizon that could be reached from the east and ending at the west horizon.The path forward of the cavalry battalion was blocked by these bison. It is 60 meters wide and God knows how long it is. It has been a full six hours. The orderly who arrived at the front said that the bison had not passed for at least ten hours. It depends on the situation. It may take another day.

"Now is the eighth month of each year - the month of fruits. This time is not a day for bison to migrate! They will not make a large-scale migration until almost October - the month of falling leaves. From the Green Well Swamp in the Flower Language Forest Go back to Dahengshan for the winter. How come you can meet them in this season, are these ordinary beasts the same as monsters, are there going to be a beast tide?" Someone in the cavalry battalion said.

Not far from the north side of the buffalo herd, a team of more than ten people was ambushing in the forest.

"Boss, it seems that we don't need to do anything today. The buffalo have already completed the task for us." A mercenary buried in the haystack said to the people around him.

"Hmph, good fortune for these scouts. The buffalo herd let them live for a few more days. It was originally just to cover up the information on the battlefield, but now it's even better. Even if they know it, they can't make it through. As long as this elite cavalry battalion doesn't show up in time for the supply team On the side, then the plan above will be successful soon, those supplies, hehe! From now on, Thunder Port will be our world." The leader of this gang of mercenaries said happily.

At the same time, Captain Lance also received the news from the scouts he sent.

"What are you talking about? Herds of bison? The buffalo team blocking the way of the cavalry battalion? It's not the month of falling leaves, and the bison will not migrate at this time." Lance growled.

"Captain Lance, please calm down. According to the habits of creatures, this kind of situation usually does not happen, but it may happen if there is an accident. Our main question now is whether there are enemies ambushing ahead. "Ledding persuaded the impatient Lance.

The distance of five miles was quickly reached. Redding cast a battlefield mana detection and found that there was really a mana shield in the dense forest ahead, preventing him from getting the specific situation near the river bank there.

Riding and the others walked along the banks of the Huayu River. This river runs through the entire North Klein County. It flows from the Huayu Forest in the east, turns north in the territory of North Klein, and reaches the sea at Thunder Port.There are dense forests on the left and right of the river bank, and the post road in Klein County is built near the river bank.

The terrain ahead is fairly flat, but the flow of the river has twisted a bit here, and the flow rate is much higher than in other places. It looks like a good place to ambush.

"Captain Lance, the result of the mana detection has come out. There is indeed a magic effect of mana shielding in the dense forest ahead. My level is not enough to measure the specific situation in this area. I suspect that someone has come to target our supply team. Please Stay alert and get ready for battle." Redding reported the detection results and suggestions to Captain Lance, but he didn't think the enemy would be so stupid and told others that they had an ambush over there!

Captain Lance had long ordered the teams to be on alert, so after the order to prepare for the battle was issued, each mercenary regiment made preparations for the battle in an orderly manner, putting on their armor and distributing throwing weapons.

Using the pretext of inspecting the troops, Gadri came to Bino's team, and there were two other team leaders waiting for him, "This is the agreed place, we will act according to the plan later. Bino, what about Angela? The situation? You didn't tell her our plan explicitly?"

Although the Bino people are a little domineering, but he is not stupid, "Captain Gadry, that girl has a strong sense of justice, how dare I tell her about this time, I just mentioned it in a roundabout way. , let her pay attention to preserving her power, and she was scolded by that bitch Angela. We must not let her know about our plan, otherwise it will definitely be a bad thing."

After listening to Bino's answer, Gadri sighed helplessly.Angela is good at everything, smart, beautiful, and has high comprehension, but it is this sense of justice that makes him helpless, and it seems that he has no choice but to give up this good seedling!Such a person has no future in the mercenary world!It would be good to let Angela stand in front of them. It can show the determination of the Red Arrow Mercenary Corps to fight. Only after fooling this guy, Lance, can they have a chance to do it.

Gadri, who made up his mind, told his subordinates: "We will act according to the plan and continue to follow Lance's command before I issue an order. You go about your own affairs."

"Subordinates understand!" Several leaders replied forcefully, and then returned to their mercenary team.

The supply team stopped here and got ready for the battle. For this escort mission, Lance received a hundred pieces of regular army equipment from the material warehouse in Kleinsus, although it was not enough to arm all the mercenaries. But the main part was finally taken care of. These powerful and sturdy metal armored mercenaries are absolutely unaffordable, and only in such missions can they experience the taste of these advanced equipment.

The only disadvantage of these metal armors in ordinary battles is that they are too heavy. Without the help of a mage, a regular soldier who marches with these armors will be able to tire him out by walking twenty miles a day, so these armors must be Only worn when preparing for combat.At this time, he hadn't seen the enemy yet, but just to be on the safe side, Lance still had all the mercenaries put on armor.

Ledin still felt that something was wrong. Years of battlefield career made him suspicious of such battles, and his keen perception also indicated that accidents would happen.

Suddenly, there was a burst of hissing sound of monsters, with great momentum, the place where the monsters appeared was not in the spell shielding area in front, but behind them...
