Carry the Ring of Elden with you

Chapter 30: Hybrid life is precious

The large bathroom Marek built for his own enjoyment was occupied by the winged hybrids.Perhaps the former city lord never dreamed that the users of his large bathroom were not the beautiful girls he imagined, but a group of tall, winged hybrids.

They use soap to dry the dirty parts of their bodies that have not been washed for many years, and the turbid sewage on the ground continues to flow into the drain.The movements of the winged hybrids revealed their bodies originally attached with white scales and feathers.

When they returned to the city lord's hall, Roland was shocked.

The winged hybrid in the game: covered in mud, stooped, and soaked.

Real-life winged hybrid: dragon-bird appearance, tall, white plush.

The originally ugly and repulsive hybrid unexpectedly became very beautiful after cleaning up his body.Roland clicked his tongue in amazement, just like a large dog whose fur was dirty and matted after wandering for many years and was adopted and brought home. After cleaning it up, he suddenly discovered that it was actually a white Samoyed.

It seems that this metaphor is not very good for the winged hybrids. If this continues, the merits will be lost.Roland shook the thoughts away from his mind, but it felt more comfortable after all.

Even Farrugia and the others who were called over from the side were shocked. Are these majestic and majestic white creatures really the ugly and ugly hybrids from before?

"It looks much better now," Roland said. "If we go out and work with the residents in the city, they won't be frightened."

The leading winged hybrid took a step forward and asked, "Are you able to talk now? What does the new successor of the Golden Will want us to do by calling us out and giving us blessings again?"

Roland nodded: "Just call me Roland, no need for such complicated names. I summoned you to help repair the walls of this city, but now I have too few manpower available."

"This is no problem, but I have a condition. If you don't accept it, I would rather you take back the blessings on us and kill us." The leading hybrid agreed, but made a request.

Before Roland could speak, Farrugia scolded: "It is a supreme honor to serve Lord Roland, but as a lowly hybrid, you actually have to negotiate terms?"

The leading winged hybrid didn't bother to pay attention to him. He didn't even look at Farrugia, but looked at Roland with burning eyes.

"Be calm, Knight Commander Farrugia." Roland stopped Farrugia and said in a slightly serious tone: "After you are summoned by me, you will be my companions in fighting together. I don't care what your previous status was, but Here we are comrades who can trust each other with their lives, do you understand?"

Farrugia hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake: "Yes, I understand. This time I insulted my colleagues without permission, and I am willing to accept the punishment."

"Then let's go repair the city wall fortifications outside with these hybrids later." Roland sighed inaudibly.Why do the armies summoned by the protagonists of the Legion-style novels he has seen, no matter whether they are antagonistic in the game or not, have no strong objections to hybrids like Farrugia and Ikosela.

This is despite the fact that Farrugia and others are very loyal to Roland.Roland was quite sure that if he had not summoned these winged hybrids, Farrugia and the others would have taken out their weapons and started fighting with them.

In the game, the winged hybrids of Morn City, as the lowest servants in the city, eventually became dissatisfied with human oppression and launched a rebellion, slaughtering the entire city of Morn City, leaving only a few soldiers of the Royal Army and the city lord. Still resisting on the city wall.You can tell by the slightest hint that the relationship between humans and winged hybrids has broken down to the point where they will kill each other when they meet.

I still need to pay more attention to this aspect in the future.Roland thought with a headache, and then he looked at the leading winged hybrid: "I agree, you can tell me your conditions first. If the conditions are too excessive, then I have to ask you to return to the embrace of the golden tree. .”

"It can be seen that you are indeed different from this group of golden subjects." The leading winged hybrid actually breathed a sigh of relief, "My conditions are actually very simple. I only ask that while we repair the fortifications, Provide enough food and enough rest. That’s all.”

Roland retreated a little tactically. Were you hybrids so oppressed before that you were not even given food and sleep time?

It's no wonder that the hybrids resisted. Who wouldn't resist?Inexplicably, Roland thought of a meme from the Elden Ring that was just released.

There are rich people in front of you, please bear witness.

Now it seems that Roland really wants to say the last sentence.

"Well, this is the most basic. There is enough food, but the rest time may be less, because the time is indeed very tight. If nothing happens, a group of enemy troops will attack this city in about four or five days. It's gone." Roland coughed slightly and said.

The leading winged hybrid said: "So that's it, then it won't be too late. Please show us where we work now."

"Farrugia, please take them there and put them into clean and fitting clothes. Remember, you can no longer discriminate against or insult them." Roland turned to look at Farrugia, who was still kneeling beside him, and said.

"Yes." Farrugia then stood up and looked at the winged hybrid with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.He walked up to the hybrids, causing the latter to step back slightly and subconsciously hold their free hands.

Naturally, Farrugia also saw the movements of the winged hybrids. He wanted to snort subconsciously, but he immediately thought of what Roland had just said and held back.

But there was nothing he could do to make him immediately smile at these hybrids.

So Farrugia looked businesslike and said in a cold tone: "Let's go, I will take you to collect your clothes and tools."

Chapter 31:Golem Guard

The guards who originally belonged to Duogu City were naturally not spared by Roland. As the strongest personnel, they were assigned to repair the city wall together.

It is said to be a city wall, but it is actually just a 2-meter-long earthen wall mixed with stone and soil.

Roland did not expect this earth wall to be able to withstand the incoming army. This kind of earth wall, which was neither high nor short, could not withstand several charges even in the ancient times of his original world.Not to mention that this is a different world full of swords and magic. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the native magician of this world in the city.

Otherwise, it would be faster and better for them to directly cast earth-attribute magic than to hire people to repair the earth walls now.In a world with magic, the gap between ordinary people and those who can use magical powers will only grow wider.

Either become them or be enslaved by them.That's all.

Of course, not all magicians will become civil servants. Only those civilian magicians who are not wealthy will do this kind of thing. Such magicians are generally not very strong.There may be that kind of civilian genius, but with the huge wealth gap, no matter how talented a magician is, there is no way to deal with a noble magician who is equipped with luxurious equipment and has average talent.

Most of the protagonists in other world novels who pretend to be pigs and eat tigers rely on the equipment they obtained from their adventures in the wild to unexpectedly win, or like Roland, they rely on open system plug-ins to obtain resources that are originally unavailable to the lower class.

There are really very few geniuses who want to truly rely on their own talents. Without the resources for cultivation, no matter how good their talents are, there is no room for them to be used.

Going too far, at first Roland was worried that this simple earth wall system would not be accepted.However, judging from the gradually increasing degree of completion of the system interface, this kind of earth wall can be considered to meet the requirements and that's it.

As long as the task can be completed in these few days, Roland will be confident to defend Duogu City.It wasn't that he thought that he could rely on the two homeless knights to kill all the invading troops. Moreover, the system mission also reminded the opponent that there would be targeted props.

The only reason is the new summoned unit obtained after completing mission [-]: Golem Guard.

As the most common city-defending puppet in the border area, whether it is a body as huge as Goliath, or a giant bow and arrow with an outrageous range and outrageous hit rate, it will shock players who see it for the first time. The presence.

Legend has it that many players who go to Morn City for the first time will hear a sudden sound of breaking through the air when happily riding a spirit horse and passing by a ruined wall. When the sound goes out, a huge arrow will shoot directly. Shoot the player off the spirit horse.

Theoretically speaking, the faded person played by the player is also quite strong. A normal person would be turned into a pulp if hit by such a giant arrow. The player is just knocked off his horse and shakes his head and jumps around as if nothing happened.

As long as you have two golem guards, you can coordinate with the Homeless Knight's attack.As long as the Holy Empire of France didn't use all its strength to attack Duogu City, Roland would be very confident in completing the mission issued by the system.

Soon, under the leadership of Farrugia, the winged hybrids arrived at the construction site and began to participate in the repair process.

As Roland expected, the local residents of Duogu City who were hired were only surprised and curious about the arrival of the winged hybrids.

They regard the winged hybrids as some kind of rare orc drudges. It is not uncommon for humans to enslave orc drudges on the continent of Sarid.It's just that compared to those rude and low-intelligence greenskins, these white winged guys are easier to communicate with.

For the stones needed to repair the city wall, Roland directly ordered the workers to dismantle the residential buildings that were no longer occupied. Otherwise, he would not have the money or time to get so many stones.

As for the food problem, Roland didn't have to worry about it. This was thanks to Marek's previous experience as a city lord who liked to plunder people's wealth. The granary in the city lord's palace was filled with a large amount of winter reserves.In addition, the population of Duogu City has dropped sharply, and the remaining food is enough for Roland and others to use for a long time.As long as they can wait until the next spring for farming, the farmers will be shocked by the food grown on the land bathed in the blessing of gold.

Regarding the problem of insufficient manpower, Roland asked another knight named Pang Pang to recruit militiamen in the city for assault training.Because most of the young and middle-aged labor force had left, Pang only recruited 300 militiamen of poor quality.

The "worrying quality" here does not mean that the physical fitness is worrying, but that the combat quality is worrying.With the blessing of the golden tree, even the frail old man can now run hundreds of meters without breaking a sweat.

But combat literacy cannot be cultivated in a short period of time. If the perfumer is there, Pang can ask the latter to help control this group of militiamen who have never experienced a life-and-death struggle.

After a training session, Pang couldn't hold himself any longer and asked Lord Roland if he could summon the perfumer. After getting the answer that he couldn't, he told Pang to let him go and do it. By the way, he reminded Pang of the most worthless person these days. It's just a cheap life.

The latter nodded and returned to the training ground gloomily.

Then only 300 of the 284 militiamen originally recruited were left, and although the fighting quality of the remaining militiamen was still very worrying, their obedience had changed dramatically.

As for the 16 assassins who disappeared forever, who cares?Even the families of these people dared not say a word.Roland has long seen through this era. If you have soldiers and weapons in your hands, you have the greatest say.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer caravans coming and going. Roland simply sealed off Duogu City, and at the same time, to avoid the occurrence of similar Trojan horses, he drove out all the caravans and outsiders who had not yet left the city.

Under the perception of the golden tree, the insider of the Holy Empire of France who arrived in advance could not be hidden at all.Under the exiled soldiers led by two homeless knights, White and Fazhuang, the assassins and spies were wiped out without any resistance.

What is quite interesting is that in addition to people from the Holy Empire of France, the Homeless Knights also captured several spies from the Charles Empire.

Then after interrogation, they were all arrested.

White brought the information from the interrogation to Roland, and then Roland understood why the system gave so many mission rewards.

Not only the Holy Empire of France is marching here, the Charles Empire is also sending troops and is heading here.

Of course, the current emperor of the Charles Empire, Judas, was uneasy and fearful of the prophecy and wanted to suppress the variables. Luyi Stacey, the president of the Lulan Chamber of Commerce, also gave a lot of suggestions.She was responsible for all the expenses of the army this time, and asked the Charles Empire Tribunal to dispatch the Trial Guards. Naturally, her purpose was to kill Roland again.

If possible, it would be better to get the golden tree in hand.Even Lu Yi had to admit that Roland often brought things full of business opportunities.

Because of Lu Yi, the Charles Empire mobilized more troops than the Holy Empire of France sent.But Roland didn't know this.

The Shadow Thorns, the signature espionage unit of the Charles Empire, did not dispatch any of them because of Elizabeth's intelligence.When figuring out how the invisibility spell was cracked, Judas was not a fool and asked his elite troops to test it with their lives.

So just use a large force to clear the way, capture the people of the Golden Dynasty and bring them back for interrogation slowly.

However, what Judas did not expect was that Elizabeth's report did not tell him that Roland's troops were summoned out of thin air.This does not mean that Elizabeth is full of kindness towards Roland. On the contrary, she is a very vindictive person.The interrogation in the Endless Forest made her suffer. As for her reasons for not telling Judas this information, we still need to wait and see.

Two thousand light and heavy infantry phalanxes, three magisters and two dragoons.Even Judas felt that he might have been a little too cautious.

According to Elizabeth's intelligence, there are only a dozen soldiers in Dogu City, and no matter how elite they are, there is no way to fight against this lineup.

"Axe" General Slit, who was responsible for issuing orders during the expedition, spoke out against it.

In the palace, his loyal voice resounded through the hall: "Your Majesty, the information that can be obtained now is too scarce. Naturally, there is nothing to fear from Duogu City. The focus is on the invading Holy Empire of France. According to the Shadow Thorn, According to the intelligence, the three cities of Duogu City, Xiaoxi City and Juyancheng were attacked by troops sent by the Holy Empire of France at the same time. Although Duogu City did not let those bastards of France succeed because of the mysterious Golden Dynasty, Xiaoxi City and According to reports, all of Yancheng has been lost."

His white-haired, old-looking but still powerful head looked at the civil officials and military generals in the hall. No one was curious about what he said, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Slit continued: "From a geographical point of view, Duogu City, Xiaoxi City and Juyan City are all land routes for our Charles Empire to communicate with the outside world. This shows that the Holy Empire of France is not an ordinary joke this time. , so I have reasonable suspicion that these bastards have violated the previous treaty. Since they can attack these three cities at the same time, why can't they attack several other cities at the same time?"

"We are very lucky. There happen to be shadow thorns in these three cities. What is even more fortunate is that two shadow thorns came back alive and told us this information. If my guess is correct, this time the handwriting must be legal. It was planned by the second prince of the Reims Holy Empire. After all, this prince has always been very hostile to us when dealing with them."

"He may not know that we have Shadow Thorns informing Xiaoxi City and Juyan City of the situation, and he may think that we are still kept in the dark. Then his next step will definitely be to send a small and light force to capture Duogu City, and then Start building a teleport to teleport the main force over. If he really captures Duogu City, the worst possibility is that all our land roads to the outside world will be blocked."

"So I think your Majesty has sent just the right amount of troops. Not only do I want to capture Dogu City, but I also want to turn Dogu City into a thorny iron nail on the offensive line of the Holy Empire of France. At the same time, I We also need to recover the border cities around Duogu City before the opponent can react."

"And this time, Ms. Lu Yi is providing military pay, ensuring worry-free logistics. Your Majesty, don't hesitate any longer."

After the old general argued hard, Judah agreed to the expedition.

As the gates of the white-walled capital opened, the mighty procession saw how many good men embarked on the road of no return, leaving only the beautiful women in tears.How many wanderers are separated from their mothers by life and death.

While the army of Charles Empire was marching, Roland had just completed his mission.

[Task [-]: Repair fortifications.completed.Although this short earth wall cannot withstand an infantry charge, it does have some defensive capabilities. At least your soldiers can hide behind the earth wall to avoid loss. 】

[Mission Reward: Golem Guard (Moen City Only)]

[Whether to summon now.whether】

With the recruited local warriors and winged hybrids working day and night in shifts, a crooked and short earth-grey city wall barely surrounded the ancient city from the front and back.

In the past few days, Roland would summon the winged hybrid as long as there was ether energy that would not harm the growth of the golden tree.There are currently 30 winged hybrids.

And after Roland's test, it was found that the combat effectiveness of this group of winged hybrids was not weak.Although it is not as good as Grek's King's Army, it is already crushing compared to ordinary people.

Roland looked at the system interface and decisively chose yes.

Then a mysterious force appeared in Dogu City, gathering the remaining soil and stones from the repair work, causing residents to watch.

"What, what is this?" Many people looked at the increasingly taller soil and rocks in confusion.As the golden tree descends to grant blessings, golden magic lines emit from the surface of the soil and stones.

The patrolling soldiers rushed over quickly and surrounded the place to prevent them from interfering with the summons.

Roland naturally also came to the scene. Unlike all his previous summons, this was the first time he encountered a summons using non-systematic materials.

The soil and stones gradually turned into a pair of gray armor under the influence of the energy of the golden tree. Two 20-meter-high golem guards holding golem bows and carrying golem halberds appeared in the open space.The mighty and god-like appearance caused the onlookers who didn't know the truth to scream in surprise.

Golden light radiated from the chest and toes, and the golem guard stood quietly on the spot.At the same time, Roland felt his connection with the golem guards, and he found that he could order the golem guards to perform some simple tasks.For example, patrolling and standing guard.

If you need help from the Homeless Knights and Exiled Soldiers when patrolling, let them stand guard.

Roland issued an order to the golem guards, asking them to stand guard in the direction of the main entrance of Duogu City.Seeing their steps causing vibrations on the ground, causing some people with unstable centers of gravity to fall down and then get up in a hurry, Roland was full of confidence in completing the next task.

The steps of the golem guards were heavy but never slow. Soon they arrived at the main entrance, stepped over the city wall that was only a step to them, and stood motionless.

Roland came over to admire the golem guard he had summoned. Men are always irresistible to such big and handsome things.

However, they found that two golem guards suddenly bent their bows and set arrows, and the bowstrings were tightened and made a tooth-piercing sound.The huge golem arrows were shot toward the distant clouds by the golem guards at a terrifying speed accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air.

"Eh?" Roland was stunned, thinking there was some bug in the golem guard.

It wasn't until the golem's big arrow hit the target and Roland's vision could barely see a series of blood mist exploding in the clouds that he realized that the golem guard was attacking the enemy.

Is this distance too far?Roland thought in a daze.

Chapter 32:Crash

"Irelia!! Hey!! Irelia!! Cheer up!!!"

Ringing in the ears, tremors, blood.

"Pah!!!" Until a slap hit Irelia hard on her smooth and white face, and the burning pain awakened the girl's consciousness.Irelia came back to her senses and found that her captain Dorothy was retracting her slapping hand.

"Are you awake?" Dorothy breathed a sigh of relief, but her expression was still tense.

Her nostrils were occupied by the fishy smell of soil and blood, and Irelia finally realized what had just happened.

Just like previous battles, as the noble Pegasus knights of the Holy Empire of France, these beauties of the sky came to Duogu City faster than the ground troops, preparing to conduct a small-scale detection operation first.

As a newcomer who has just been promoted to Pegasus Knight, Irelia believes that the battle in Dogu City is just right for a newcomer like her to integrate the skills she has learned.Her own family also spent a lot of effort to get her into this team, which had a good reputation among Pegasus knights.

This time, the Pegasus team sent by the Holy Empire of France exceeded the number of recruits who had just entered the battlefield like Irelia.But it doesn't mean that they have no combat effectiveness like the new recruits of the ground forces.

Because of the special nature of Pegasus, only beautiful, loyal and pure women will be recognized as the masters of Pegasus.And just gaining recognition does not necessarily mean you will become a Pegasus Knight. Having magical power that transcends ordinary people is also one of the keys.

Therefore, every Pegasus knight is one of a thousand. Coupled with the swift and agile Pegasus, the Pegasus knight will become a nightmare for countries without symmetrical air power.And their dazzling figures in the air, wearing silver-white soft armor and crowns and wings, constantly wielding weapons and magic, and their beautiful faces under the helmets, are also called "Silver Winged Valkyries" by themselves and their enemies.
