"Ouch." Adrian sat down on the ground after Reynolds jumped to the ground. He rubbed his sore neck and complained to Reynolds: "I would rather face an adult red dragon alone than be trapped by you again. Riding on the neck, damn, why didn’t I just cut a few more holes in the chest of this armor.”
"Okay, Adrian, aren't you okay now? If I ask you to be up there, will you fight?" Reynolds comforted casually, and then turned the topic to the portal. He said to Ryan: "Lian , these half-demons are from another world, and they came here through the teleportation magic circle in an abandoned mine beneath our feet, and this magic circle is probably the work of the undead army."
"Come on, let's destroy it." Ryan said to Reynolds,
"This, this is really a bit difficult." Reynolds wiped the sweat from his forehead, hesitated, and explained to Ryan: "There are more than 50,000 half-demon stationed down there, and the strength of the high-level warriors is even higher. All of them, if I didn’t have this disguise, I’m afraid I would have been finished long ago.”
"No wonder you chose this armor with such a strong smell of blood." Ryan said,
Reynolds knew exactly what Ryan meant. He originally ambushed this lone half-demon warrior because the smell of blood on his body was so strong that it could cover up his dwarf body odor.
"Don't mention this smelly thing again." Adrian, who was sitting on the ground, protested. He had been completely trapped in this armor for the past few days. Now he felt that everything he smelled was full of blood. As long as he moved a little, it would I feel like vomiting, but I just endured it until now because I was in a dangerous situation.
"Okay, okay, Adrian." Reynolds looked at his pale friend and said sympathetically: "Actually, I don't feel well, but... uh, let's not talk about it for now, Ryan, we are going to go now Destroy that portal
"Of course, are those half-demon allowed to enter this plane?" Ryan replied,
"It's not that I'm timid. In the past few days, I've been mixed among these half-demon people, and I've gotten to know their situation a little bit. Those who fought with us just now are actually just ordinary people in the entire half-demon army. They They are indeed very good in combat individually, but there is no synergy at all." Reynolds said this, thought for a moment, and continued: "You can tell from the armor they wear and the weapons they use, 1,000 and a half Demons use at least more than 500 kinds of weird weapons, and their armors are all kinds of weird. Many of them don't even have full-body armor. The furs of some unknown beasts around their bodies count as defense. For opponents like this, don't look at them. The combat effectiveness is pretty good. As long as you give me 1,000 dwarf rock defenders, I can block more than ten times the impact of the half-demon, and our side will eventually achieve a perfect victory, and the loss will not exceed 10%."
"However, the half-demon warriors that Adrian and I saw in the deep mine area were completely different. They were all wearing standard armor, their weapons were extremely sharp, and they were also very powerful. Almost all of them were high-level warriors. The only boss I saw reached the level of a weapons master. If I were to fight him one-on-one, I would only have a 50% chance of winning." When Reynolds said this, his tone paused, and after a few seconds he said Then he explained: "I am not a person who is afraid of death. We dwarves are not cowards. But if we go to destroy the portal now, we have to face a huge army of half-demon. What I just saw is just responsible for the outer perimeter." It’s just a defensive team, I believe there will be legendary strong men among this half-demon army.”
"Ryan, I advise you not to take risks. Defeating the invasion of the half-demon is the unanimous decision of all creatures on the entire continent. Why do you have to bear this responsibility alone?" Reynolds persuaded with earnest words: "Don't forget , Ryan, in the shadows we don’t know, there are still undead legions watching us. Since Lich Lord Nicholas has caused this situation, it is impossible to sit back and watch us easily defeat these enemies."
After listening to what Reynolds said, Allendo also said: "What Reynolds said makes sense, Ryan, we might as well choose a safer plan. Anyway, we have already set the first goal in advance, so it is not a wasted trip. "After Alan said this, he saw that Ryan seemed to be hesitant, so he continued: "Even if you want to destroy the portal, you must at least go back to join Fulia and the others first. If you can get three adults With the help of the red dragon, the chance of winning can be increased by at least 30%, so why take the risk now? Don’t forget that Farasi and Vivian are waiting for you to return."
After hearing the names of Farasi and others, Ryan's heart finally softened. He had to admit that while he had become stronger, he had also shouldered too many responsibilities, and it was no longer possible to take risks as wantonly as before. Because if something happened to Ryan in the past, it would be nothing more than losing one of his own lives, but now if something happens to Cassano’s overlord, it will directly affect the lives of all Cassano’s people, and in serious cases, it will even affect the entire The situation on the mainland has to make Ryan think more about it. After all, legendary strongmen are not invincible. They may fall when faced with the siege of multiple opponents of the same strength at the same time. And legendary strongmen on the human side are inherently different from The undead army is evenly matched. If something unexpected happens to Ryan, the consequences will be disastrous. Not to mention that there is now an additional half-demon army.
"We seem to be unable to return the same way." Ryan said: "This is your hometown, you should be the most familiar with it, how do you think we can leave, well, if we can destroy the passage here as much as possible before leaving, delay those Given the speed at which the half-demon expands, I think this should be the most ideal choice.”
"I'll keep this with me," said the dwarf female warrior Nemisia.
"You are." Only then did Dwarf King Reynolds have time to pay attention to the female companions around him. He found that he did not recognize this young woman, so he turned his attention to Ryan.
"We met her along the way. Because she was familiar with this place, we asked her to be our guide." Ryan spoke first, covering up the misfortune that Nemisia had encountered with some untrue words. Since that thing has happened, let it go. Wouldn't it be better to leave these poor dwarf women with a new life path
"Okay, let's plan the retreat route." Reynolds waved and motioned for Nemisia to come over. They squatted on the ground together and started talking about how to leave next and how to destroy as many dwarves as possible. Underground passages, this matter cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and a little carelessness may lead to misremembering the truth and causing everyone to go astray. It is not a happy thing to find that there is no way to go when the enemy is chasing and blocking them. ,
Ryan did not disturb Reynolds and the others. He quietly walked away a few steps and walked towards the front of the dwarf tunnel, waiting for the half-demon warriors to launch the next wave of attacks. Allendo followed closely behind Ryan and waited until they After the two were more than 200 meters away from Reynolds, Allendo said to Ryan in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Why, are you feeling a little uncomfortable in your heart?"
Ryan smiled at Allen and answered honestly: "A little bit. In the past, I seemed to fight all the way to the end, but now I have to look forward and backward. I feel really uncomfortable."
Allen nodded. Why didn't he want to fight with Ryan as much as he did before? Unfortunately, now is not the time. Not to mention anything else, just the last time Ryan went deep into Seike City alone, if it hadn't been for the last moment. Freya used the power of the "Moonlight Brooch" to forcibly teleport Ryan back, fearing that Ryan would have died long ago. Cassano, who only temporarily lost Ryan, immediately felt the pain. They were facing Bailey's undead. The legion had no way to effectively resist the endless sea of undead natural disasters, and almost ended up with the city destroyed and people killed.
With this lesson in mind, Ryan had to carefully consider his every move. In fact, from an overall perspective, the most beneficial plan was for Ryan to stay in Cassano and send a partial force to rescue the dwarves. Not to mention that he defied all opinions and rushed to Black Rock City with the only few strong men in Cassano at starry night, leaving only Ghalib alone to guard the Iron Fist Castle. So no matter from which point of view, all Ryan did was More, no less,
"I hope Freya and the others have established an escape channel for the dwarves now, so that we can move the surviving dwarves away." Ryan sighed, changed the topic and said to Alando: "If possible, I plan to Open an area in Cassano for our dwarf friends to stay temporarily until they take back Blackstone City."
"No problem, I fully support you on this." Allen patted Ryan on the shoulder and expressed his suggestion.
Ryan was about to say a few more words when he suddenly felt a strong breath coming from the depths of the tunnel in the distance. He looked at Allendo in surprise and found that the latter also noticed the presence of the breath.
"At least to the level of a weapons master, well, there are dozens of weaker beings following him..." Ryan told Allen the situation he detected with his magic eye,
"The worst ones are as good as Oak Warriors, and the strongest ones are only a little bit worse than Weapon Masters." Allendo added to Ryan's words,
"They already know our location. Let's go, Alando, let us teach these damn half-demon a lesson and let them know the price the invaders must pay." Ryan took the first step with a smile.
"Of course, but the leader must be left to me." Allendo followed closely behind Ryan and said, "You can do whatever else you want."
As Ryan walked forward, he turned his head and said to Allendo: "Isn't it guessing with gold coins?"
This sentence made Ryan and Alando recall the situation when they walked side by side. The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had returned to the free days before.
