Carry the Ring of Elden with you

"I have to say that the rewards this time are so generous that I doubt there is something fishy in this ancient city. Your system tasks and rewards don't give me any dynamic difficulty, right?" Roland asked suspiciously.

[Don’t ask me, I don’t know.I'm just a programmer. If you ask me the principle, I don't understand it. 】The system is completely broken.

Roland frowned. Among the rewards this time, what made him most envious was the unlocking of the blessing teleportation point and the lost knight. Moren City was slightly behind.

Having a blessing teleportation point is equivalent to having a natural hidden mobile spring. I wonder if there will be any restrictions.Otherwise, just relying on a blessing teleportation point, Roland would be sure to go to the capital of the Holy Human Empire and make a big fuss and escape unscathed.

The Homeless Knight is even more powerful, because it is the most useful and handsome armor that can be obtained in the early stage of the game. Roland was very impressed by the Homeless Knight in the item description.

In particular, the last two paragraphs focus on the value of the lost knights: "In the past, each of them was an invincible general, so even if they lost their hometown, they could still be knighted."

You must know that that is the knight who is described as "invincible" in the world view of Elden's Circle. Roland originally thought that he would not unlock it until very later.After all, the spiritual homeless knights in Sol City left a deep impression on him, and there were also many homeless knights in the gradually collapsing Fam Azlan, which caused a lot of trouble to Roland who was playing games at the time. trouble.

The fader played by the player never died once in the plot and pushed through the plot. In the end, even the beast of Elden hated the ultimate macho man on the spot.Because the player plays the Faded One who wants to become the God-King of Elden, there is no problem in thinking that the Homeless Knight is like a miscellaneous soldier.

However, if it were placed in this different world... Roland couldn't help but look forward to it.

However, it is better to wait until Duogu City is captured before asking Farrugia what they think of the Homeless Knights. They may have really fought against each other and are qualified to evaluate the specific strength of the Homeless Knights.

"Do you want to live or die?" A splash of cold water woke the sleeping Wellington, and then the straight sword of the King's Army was pressed against his face.The cold, stinging temperature made his body freeze.

Only then did he realize that he had been tied up while he was sleeping. There were two fierce men standing around him (brothers Robles and Amber). The harmless young man who had just been outside the camp was looking at him expressionlessly. Own.

what's the situation?Wellington's brain couldn't work.

At this time, the sword edge was closer, drawing a shallow blood line on his neck.

"Did you sleep? Let me ask again, do you want to live or die?" Roland raised his eyebrows.

Wellington was so excited that he stopped his random thoughts and said quickly: "Stay alive, I want to live."

"Okay, not too stupid. Let me ask you an answer. If you can't answer the hourglass before the countdown, you will die. Also, you are not allowed to answer questions with questions, understand?" Roland repeated his old trick and used the small hourglass used to interrogate Elizabeth again. It was placed where Wellington could see it.

"I understand, I understand." Wellington swallowed nervously and replied.

Roland asked: "What do you do in Duogu City?"

"Be a soldier."

"For whom?"

"City Lord Marek."

"Hey, so you cuckolded Marek?"

"Cuckold? No, no, no, I cuckolded Marek."

Oh Shet, there is no point in forgetting about another world.Roland curled his lips when he saw Wellington looking confused but nodding immediately.

"It means you slept with his wife."

"Yes Yes."

"How did you and Elizabeth meet?"

"I met Elizabeth during a patrol in the city lord's mansion, and then she pulled me into the house like this. After that, she often came to see me."

Roland rolled his eyes. He thought there would be some kind of plot where the city lord beats the mandarin ducks.Or she was overthinking it, because Elizabeth disliked Marek and couldn't satisfy her, so she just found someone to have fun with.

"How many soldiers like you are there in Dogu City?"

"A group of 8 people, a total of 10 teams."

"Aren't there mercenaries and other regular troops?"

"There are mercenaries, but the regular army can't afford them."

Well, it seems that he doesn't know about Marek's secret possession of armored soldiers.Roland thought that he must be quick when assassinating Marek.

"Then how many mercenaries did he hire?"

"Not many, two mercenary groups. Regias' 20-man mercenary group and a small 10-man mercenary group."

"Oh, now there's only one."

"Huh?" Wellington was confused.

Then he heard a few "bang" sounds, and the sword that Regias cherished and never left his body was now broken into two pieces, and Robles had just thrown it beside Wellington.

Did they kill the jackals of Regias?Wellington was just overjoyed, but was brought back to reality by the stinging feeling on his neck.

He said with difficulty: "Masters, what do you want? I didn't have any money when I eloped with Elizabeth."

Roland took out the lavender paste, touched a large piece of it on his hand, and said, "Don't worry, it won't kill you. You should faint now."

"Ah?" Wellington didn't understand what this man wanted to do?

"Are you going to open your mouth yourself or should I help you?" Roland raised his eyebrows.

"No, no, no, myself, myself." Wellington felt the sharp sword on his neck press down a little, and immediately opened his mouth with a crying face, and Roland fed the hypnotic paste into it.

Soon, Wellington fell into sleep again.

"You two saw him first. I'm going to see the interrogation situation in Ikosela." Roland stood up, patted the dust on his clothes, and said to brothers Robles and Amber.

Now that I have made up my mind to seize the city lord's position, I must ask how many armed forces there are in the city.Roland was afraid that the two of them would not tell the truth when being interrogated together, so they interrogated them separately.

Elizabeth asked Ecosela to interrogate him. The former saw that the latter had already subconsciously felt pain in his fingers.Don't be afraid of what lies she says.

Sure enough, as soon as Roland walked that way, Ikosela came back to report the results of the interrogation to Roland.

They checked Wellington's and Elizabeth's words with each other and found that they were generally correct.

There are only 80 paid soldiers like Wellington in Dogu City. The only one to pay attention to is the small mercenary group that Elizabeth mentioned.Although there are not many people, each one has C-level strength. The leader Gilad has reached B-level, but he is stuck at C-level before completing the task assessment.

After listening to Roland's description of the garrison in Duogu City, Farrugia and Pang carefully specified the battle plan.

Roland wanted Farrugia and the others to act like mercenaries, escort Elizabeth and Wellington into the city lord's palace, and then suddenly launch an attack to annihilate the city lord's palace and the active forces.

Farrugia shook his head and objected. The reason was: He couldn't pretend to have the temperament of a mercenary. The city owner could tell that the habits of the royal army and the mercenaries were different even if he wasn't stupid.

Pang agreed on the side, and then proposed his method: since you can't pretend to be a mercenary, then just don't pretend to be a mercenary.Pretending to be a mission from another country, they encountered the Regeas mercenaries who were about to be wiped out in the forest, and Elizabeth and Wellington who had not yet had time to escort them back.

Then out of goodwill towards Lord Marek, he decided to help the mercenaries escort him back.

Roland thought for a while and perfected the plan: "Pretending to be an envoy is feasible. We also need some gifts for the envoy. In this way, I will give you a few jars of spices, salt, butter and sugar, as well as this talisman. .”

What Roland took out was the 'Golden Tree Favor' that was rewarded in the previous mission. The golden little figure exuded good ether fluctuations.

"Is this too cheap for the city lord?" Farrugia was excited for a moment after seeing the amulet and then calmed down.

Roland shrugged: "Anyway, it's a dying person, so we got it back quickly. Let's just say this is a gift to the lord to increase credibility."

And Pang said: "It works. Farrugia and I will protect this amulet to the death."

Roland scratched his head. It seemed like they all cared about this amulet?

"My life comes first. I don't want to see any of you get hurt." Roland said, "Don't pay too much attention to the amulet. If you want it very much, I will give it to you in the future."

Then Roland felt that Farrugia and Pang exuded amazing... fighting spirit?

It was as if he wished he could fly to Duogu City right now and kill the Lord Marek on the spot in his seat.

Well, it's a good thing that the knight commanders under his command have fighting spirit.Roland comforted himself in his heart.

Now that you have made up your mind, all that's left is to conserve your energy and save your taxes.Roland asked Farrugia and Pang to assign their tasks separately and set off to Duogu City early tomorrow morning.

At this time, in Duogu City.

"Master Marek, our master is very satisfied with your attitude. Please accept such a small profit." In the city lord's palace, the envoy from the neighboring country smiled and talked to an old man with cunning and greedy eyes.

The room where the two of them were located was decorated with various precious decorations, including ivory, tiger skin, deer antlers, gems, porcelain, and famous paintings. Even the pillars supporting the room were coated with a layer of paint melted from gold.

It is hard to imagine that this is the room where a small and insignificant city lord from the border is located.

In front of them, some valuable treasures and jewelry were placed on the table.

"Hahaha, it's easy to talk. When you officially attack the Leize Kingdom, I, Duogu City, have decided to be the first to respond to your call. In addition, I am also contacting the city lords of surrounding cities to ask them to surrender to you. Mr. Messenger, please also Praise me in front of your master." The old man was Marek. He held the treasure to himself with a smile, took out one of the treasure rings and rubbed it carefully.

"I didn't expect City Lord Marek to be so concerned. City Lord, please rest assured, then I will naturally say a few nice words for you. But..." The messenger changed his tone, "I don't know about the woman and soldier who ran away, Marek Is there any news about the city lord? You must know that nothing about what we are doing should be leaked. Otherwise, when the matter is exposed, not only you, but also me will be killed."

Marek's face froze, and then he let out a haha ​​of laughter to lighten the atmosphere: "Please rest assured, messenger, I have sent a total of 20 mercenaries to hunt down the two bastards who got together behind my back, and the leader is even more They are C-level mercenaries. Those two people can't resist at all. Maybe they have been caught, but the mercenaries have gone somewhere to have fun. Good news will come in the next few days, don't worry."

"Hey, I'm naturally worried about these mercenaries. Tell me, what if they are persuaded by your little lover to help them? If I remember correctly, your little lover is indeed Is he a distant relative of a certain noble?"

"Hey, don't mention her. It's bad luck if you mention her. She's just a bitch who likes me, the city lord's position and money." Marek pretended to curse, and said: "Don't worry, Regeas is mine. My eldest nephew, I have watched the others grow up in Duogu City, and they will never betray me."

"Since Lord Marek is so confident, I will stay in the city for a few more days and wait for good news." The messenger said with peace of mind.

"Well, I asked the best chef in the city to prepare a table of delicious food tonight. I wonder if the messenger is willing to show his favor and move away?" Marek said flatteringly.

"Since it is the Lord of the City who invites you, I feel honored. Please."

"Please."

Chapter 13: Brothers, take office in Goose City!

Except for two war pickaxe soldiers, Verena and Lucci, who were left to guard the camp to prevent other uninvited guests from intruding, all the other soldiers of the King's Army were taken away by Roland.

2 gun and shield knights: Farrugia and Pang.

3 two-handed swordsmen: Ikosela, Ake, and Bavel.

3 crossbowmen: Robles, Amber, and Kathleen.

There are a total of 8 royal troops. According to Farrugia, this configuration can be easily solved even if Regeas and his group of mercenaries come with more people.

Roland originally didn't want to go to Duogu City in person, but the system told him that one of the requirements for completing the mission was that the host himself was in the city.That's fine, just think of yourself as a beacon-type mascot and blend in with Farrugia and the others.

He then dressed up as one of Regias's mercenaries, pretending to be the survivor that Farrugia and the others accidentally rescued.Farrugia and the others acted as visitors from the kingdom deep in the forest. At the request of their king, they went to contact various national forces outside the forest.

Anyway, Marek and the others didn't know what was going on inside the endless forest, and Roland wasn't afraid of revealing the truth.

And Farrugia and the others are really people from other countries, just from another world.

In addition, Roland provided a large amount of valuables such as spices and sugar, so Marek was not afraid of disbelief.

Looking at the well-made armor and weapons on Farrugia and the others, Roland was certain that even in the countries he had been to for decades in this other world, there were few armor-making techniques as sophisticated and neat as theirs.

Countries with similar manufacturing techniques are all hegemonic countries on the continent, such as the Holy Human Empire, the Holy Pope State, the Songyue Dynasty of the elves, and the Stone Heart Castle of the dwarves.

As for how to solve the transportation problem of the bottles and cans they pretended to offer, Farrugia and Pang summoned their own finely decorated war horses through spiritual whistles, which shocked Roland.

Then he thought that after the Night Cavalry's mount was killed in the game, if the Night Cavalry himself was not dealt with immediately, he would blow a whistle and summon him again after a while.

Then he turned to look at Ikosela and the others. They shook their heads and said that they were not qualified to obtain war horses.Ikosela used to have one but the sentry was withdrawn because of his demotion.

Farrugia and Pang explained that this was something only those who had obtained the title of knight were entitled to.Roland nodded in confusion. Anyway, having a horse is a good thing.

Because the forest was complicated and difficult to ride on horseback, Farrugia and Pang put the things Roland bought from the store into cloth bags and wrapped them, then put them on the horse's butt and sent the horse back.

After everyone identified Elizabeth and Wellington, and the brothers Robles and Amber discovered the traces of the mercenaries in the forest, Roland and the others successfully arrived at the edge of the forest in just one day.Not far away, faint smoke and carriages could be seen on the dirt road, as well as some simple city walls built of stones and wooden piles, telling Roland that the ancient city was there.

Roland had long been accustomed to walking long distances in the forest from his previous business experience, and this distance was nothing to Farrugia and the others.From the royal city of Rodel to Stonewell, Farrugia and the others have traveled much more than this.

The only two people in the team who found it difficult were Elizabeth, who was accustomed to pampering herself, and Wellington, who was weak after fleeing.

Wellington was fine. After all, he was still on military pay, so he could still bear the hardship.Elizabeth was very uncomfortable and annoyed, but she didn't dare to vent her emotions like she did in the city lord's mansion before.As a result, after walking for a day, Roland was fine. When he was preparing to repair, he found Elizabeth's face full of tears and looked aggrieved, which made him think that Elizabeth had been beaten by him on the road and was still hungry and not allowed to eat.

By the way, Roland bought two sets of clothes from the system store that looked similar to those from this other world and put them on Elizabeth and Wellington respectively.Now they looked like normal civilians, and Roland was wearing mercenary clothes that were a bit bitter, so Roland couldn't figure out where Elizabeth was wronged.

However, Roland did not pay more attention to Elizabeth's mental health. Out of his distrust of her and Wellington, Roland hypnotized Elizabeth and Wellington into a deep sleep when they were about to leave the edge of the forest.Based on his years of experience in being betrayed, the best way to prevent a guy who is not one of his from sabotaging his actions is to shut up.

"I promise I won't mess up your plan. Can you please stop feeding me this? I want to live." Elizabeth said with tears in her eyes.

Roland said with a cold face: "Are you qualified to bargain with me? If you eat it, you may not die and just treat yourself like a sleep. But if you don't eat it, I guarantee that you will definitely lose arms and legs."

Then Elizabeth opened her mouth and obediently took the sleeping oil into her mouth, and fell asleep quickly.Wellington didn't even have a chance to ask questions before Robles forced a mouthful of sleeping oil into his mouth.

If it weren't for Marek who might need Elizabeth alive, Roland would have silenced her after killing the mercenaries and interrogating her.

As for Wellington, that's incidental.Catching a living adulterer always makes the angry victim feel better about him.

"Well, from now on, Lord Roland will have to make you feel aggrieved." Farrugia said aloud, "If there is any disrespect in words, please punish me after the mission is completed."

Roland quickly waved his hand and said: "This is an action I proposed. You don't have to care about my feelings. Prioritize completing the task. I have seen many of these mercenaries. I know how to act. You just act according to my instructions." Just show your attitude toward me."

"Lord Roland, please rest assured. We are bound to win these ancient cities." After saying that, Farrugia and Pang looked at each other, summoned the spirit horses to get on their horses, and held the unconscious Elizabeth and Wellington sideways. After placing it on his horse and making sure it would not fall off, Farrugia handed a ball of cloth on the horse's crotch and his broadhead gun to Ikosela and gave the order: "Raise the flag!"

"Yes!" Ikosela found the ball of cloth and unfolded it. The lines of the golden tree and the lion slowly unfolded, and the epic and mystery came to the face.Trees and beasts, golden and green flags were tied to the broadheaded gun by Ikosela.

Then the female warrior with fiery red hair stood facing the wind. The flag rustled in the cold wind, but the hand holding the flagpole did not shake at all.

"Array!"

Under Roland's watch, these soldiers who were once Grek regained their glory again.Led by Ikosela, two knights followed behind, and then Robles, Amber and Katherine carried their crossbows behind their backs. They picked up the brass shield with their left hand and took out the straight sword of the King's Army with their right hand. Then Aker He Bavel took off the sword of the King's Army from his back and pinned it to his waist.
