Demon Lord

Chapter 1: Ranger Roddy

Views:

When Rody struggled to open his eyes, the glare of the sun made him a little dizzy.

The burning pain in the chest seemed to be pressed against the chest by a torch, and there was a buzzing in the ears, like the sequelae of being hit on the head with a stick.

The pain hit him, and he couldn't help moaning. The simulation effect of the online game "Cracked Earth" is almost 100%, and even all the tactile sensations can be simulated. But at this moment, Rody felt as if someone had adjusted the "pain" option in the game from a safe value of 30% to 100%. Because he has played "Cracked Earth" for so long, and he has never felt such pain.

Taking a few deep breaths, Rody blinked his eyes and looked around habitually, but was surprised to find that this was not the resurrection point in the cemetery of the rear military base three kilometers away from the battlefield in the game.

Something is wrong...

Raising his hand, he found that the epic shortbow in his hand was nowhere to be seen—even the gloves, wrist guards, and arm guards set called "Guardian of Hill" had completely disappeared...

The waist is empty, and Rhodes' two knives are not there.

what happened

He was instantly shocked into a cold sweat. The equipment of the holographic simulation online game "Cracked Earth" is soul-bound, and even if it is destroyed, identification verification is required. So in this case, where did his valuable equipment go

Wiping his chest, Rody gasped in pain, the bright red blood on his fingers told him that he was injured—trying to turn over, Rody wanted to confirm where he was resurrected...

But immediately, he opened his mouth in surprise.

In front of him was an endless grass field, filled with greenery, and he...was lying on the top of a raised grass slope. Rody suddenly found that this place was very similar to the Nehemia prairie in his impression—but then he thought about it, this is thousands of miles away from the "Slavic Valley Battlefield" he just hung up... How did he get here

Because he just woke up, Rody's head seemed a little unresponsive, but this kind of doubt didn't last long, and he was interrupted by a loud shout.

"Get rid of them!"

Rody's heart trembled suddenly after a Sabine language unique to orcs, and he immediately lowered his body instinctively, holding back the pain and looking to the other side.

The fragrance of the grass was mixed with blood. Rody rubbed his eyes, moved his body, and then saw the scene below the grass slope - not far from Rody, there were several dead war horses and three lying on the ground. Human corpses in the grass!

But the one who made the sound just now was a tall orc who was less than 30 meters away from him—this guy was nearly two meters tall, his arms were as thick as human thighs, his strong muscles seemed to contain infinite power, his eyes were red and he was frantic. He and four of his kind rushed towards the seven fleeing human soldiers in the distance.

orc...

Roddy's brows immediately frowned, and his slightly confused expression suddenly became extremely gloomy.

Ordinary people who have never been exposed to the game "Cracking Earth" may not understand why Roddy is so angry at this moment-but for a game otaku who has devoted all his energy to the game for seven years, the word "orc" What it represents is just the word mortal enemy.

The orcs in "Cracked Earth" are really unforgivable enemies for Rody in the human camp. During the seven years in the game, these damn animals invaded almost the entire kingdom and burned down almost all the towns that Rody had stayed in. More importantly, Rody's beloved girl also died at the hands of the orcs...

Although he didn't understand why he suddenly appeared in the grassland thousands of miles away, the only thought in his mind at the moment was simple and direct: kill them.

Rody is a "ranger" by profession, and his own surveying skills for the environment needless to say. After taking a deep breath, he immediately confirmed his current situation... It seems that he should have been attacked by orcs just now—although this is very logical , because he was also attacked by orcs before he died, but at this moment he understood...

This orc is not that orc.

The orcs that appeared in the Slavic Valley are the elite of the "Hammer of Rohar" of the orc empire. They are heavily armored like a steel fortress, and their level, blood volume, and defense are all frighteningly high. The weapon in his hand is not a 1.2-meter-long refined steel hammer, but a thick wooden stick studded with iron nails.

The seven human soldiers fleeing in the distance are not gamers with fancy equipment, nor are they rebel warriors in standard steel armor. Their simple leather armor and weapons and equipment look like the worst among the lord's private soldiers. …

Scouting

"Ge Laozi!" Luo Di couldn't help cursing. Influenced by his dormmates in Sichuan, as a person from the imperial capital, he always swears casually. He tried his best to look down at his current equipment, and he immediately sighed. Take a breath—this tattered leather armor is exactly the same as the group of scouts in the distance who look like bereaved dogs...

The scene in front of him caused countless thoughts to flash through his mind, but in the end he finally selected the only reasonable explanation: This is a randomly triggered copy of the game, he was involved inexplicably, and when he needed it, he temporarily appeared here as a scout identity to complete the dungeon mission objectives.

But then he found that he couldn't see the HP displayed on the top of the enemy's head, and couldn't see the cooldown time bar of the skill bar displayed by the auxiliary plug-in... and there was no UFF gain assistant, no combat posture assistant, and there was no way to call up the task bar!

Out of UG

He was a little stunned.

Simply put, Roddy is a geek...but further down, he's one of those tech geeks who are often jokingly called "saving the world."

"Contra" cleared the level without killing people, "God of War" series works all the highest mode to clear the level without injury, "DJMAX" eight-key 14 songs full of COMO, Super Mario cleared the level with one life in nine minutes, Metal Gear Solid 2 does not use a bazooka but a pistol to do it Exploding aircraft OSS...

This kind of thing is almost impossible for ordinary people, but it is not difficult for Rody.

If you decide to do it, do it the best you can.

This obsessive-compulsive personality is the fundamental reason why Roddy was able to become a first-line player in "Cracked Earth". But at this time, after he confirmed his situation, all his thoughts started to proceed from the premise of "perfectly completing the dungeon mission"...

Just hang up and go back to the city? For tech geeks, that's an insult.

Kill all the orcs, rescue as many scouts as possible—Based on his current identity and situation, Rody quickly made his own judgment on the "perfect completion" goal of this "dungeon"...

Exhaling slowly, he turned over and lay down on his back, stretched out his hand and tore off the strip of cloth to bandage the wound on his chest, then looked around and began to think about the next action plan.

He has no skill bar, his body is weak, and his left leg, knee and chest hurt like hell. It seems that he fell off his horse and knocked. He rubbed his forehead, and he seemed to feel that something was wrong. The doubts he had were quickly forgotten by the sense of oppression brought by the orcs.

Scanning around, Rody, whose profession is "Ranger" in the game, quickly determined the next plan - after confirming that several orcs did not pay attention to him, he immediately held his breath and crawled towards the human closest to him. corpse.

In the distance, not only were five orcs chasing deserters, but a slightly thinner guy was holding a horned war bow, sniping and killing the human soldiers who were driven away thirty meters away.

"Boom—"

The movement of the bowstring when the horn bow is released is not small. Rody naturally knew that orcs would not have the habit of tying sound-absorbing and shock-absorbing bowstrings. The tactical skills of this group of guys were as poor as their looks, and the only thing that was useful was their power, which was much stronger than humans.

The orc pierced through the chest of the scout in the distance with an arrow, and the blood spurted out. The huge force of the arrow rolled the scout's body to the ground, causing the scout to die without even saying a word...

Seeing this situation, Rody, who hated orcs until his teeth itch, immediately made his own decision.

He gritted his teeth and rubbed against the nearest human corpse, stretched out his hand, and tried his best to pull the wooden short bow that fell to the ground. The thing in his hand, Rody, knew the general idea when he touched it—the work of a frontier bow craftsman, mass-produced by a small workshop Goods, the pulling force is not strong, only a sneak attack. If it's a positional battle, this kind of toy-like whiteboard equipment basically doesn't need to think about its lethality.

In the game, although the attack power is closely related to the weight of the pound, because of the additional attributes, the damage of a high-level bow with the same pulling force of 60 pounds may be dozens of times stronger than that of a low-level bow. At this time, the lowest-level wooden short bow in his hand was completely a novice outfit in Roddy's eyes.

But the crudeness of weapons cannot be an excuse for mission failure—who is Roddy? One of the most famous and powerful rangers in "Cracking Earth", as a technical geek, what he can do is beyond the reach of most people.

For example... that messy archery that is so powerful that it can be accurate without system correction.

Hooking the quiver scattered on the other side with his feet, Rody didn't carry it on his back, but stretched out his hand to hold the remaining eight arrows inside, held the bow in his left hand, arched his back slightly, and began to carefully observe everything around him. enemies of —

The straight-line distance from the nearest bow-wielding orc is 27 meters, and the distance from the five orcs in the distance ranges from 35 meters to 46 meters.

The remaining four humans were running away desperately, and then another unlucky ghost was caught up by the orcs and chopped into meat paste.

The breeze blew past, gently blowing the hair on Roddy's forehead.

He squinted his eyes, glanced at the slightly trembling grass on the ground, and made error corrections for the influence of the wind direction on the bow and arrow. The orc holding the horn bow 27 meters away didn't notice the movement behind him at all, and was trying to aim at the distance, concentrating on it.

Taking a deep breath, Rody stood up abruptly—holding the bow with his left hand forward, holding seven arrows at the same time with his little finger and ring finger, and pulling the bow with his right hand, stretching the string to the full moon, aiming at the enemy smoothly.

You must know that when a senior scout shoots, the series of steps "drawing arrows-nocking-arrows-drawing-aiming-release" requires at least two seconds of preparation time. It has already made this movement of his body almost instinctive, from the moment he crawls to stand upright, he is fully prepared for the whole shooting movement. When the enemy 27 meters away had just shot an arrow, Rody had already completed the last move of the entire shooting—

let go.

There was a "bang" sound from the bowstring, and the arrow shot out.

"puff!"

The long arrow shot in from the back of the neck and passed out from the front of the mouth. Before the orc even had time to shout, he fell to the ground clutching his throat.

There was no exaggerated movement of hot weapons when cold weapons killed people, so the five orcs in the distance didn't notice what happened behind them at all. But what was even more incredible was that at the same time that the first orc was shot through the head and fell to the ground, Rody's next arrow had already been shot!

At an interval of 1.2 seconds, the reason why Rody holds the bow and arrow with his left hand is entirely to use a simple and practical "quick fire" archery technique. Ordinary people stretch out their right hand to get the arrow from the quiver behind them, and then they can shoot. The arrow bends the bow, but Rody borrows this method to save the step of taking the arrow from behind - so at this time his shooting speed far exceeds the limit that ordinary people can achieve.

"puff!"

The arrow pierced an orc's thigh, causing him to roll to the ground, howling in pain.

Rody understood that he was using an unfamiliar short bow, and the straightness, curvature and curvature of the arrow could not be guaranteed to be uniform. So in order to ensure the shooting efficiency, facing the enemy running 37 meters away, Rody, who has killed thousands of orcs in the game, of course knows how to kill the opponent at the lowest cost.

The sound of the bowstring being pulled sounded one after another, and the uninterrupted arrows were so accurate that it made the five orcs lie down without any suspense.
