Suo Deluoer tried to catch his figure, but his eyes always seemed to be one step away from locking on to Roddy. And only the scouts watching can clearly see how Rody is always behind Soderol with his swift steps...
He is like a butterfly constantly circling in circles, the long sword in his hand is not in a hurry to attack, and he is always behind Soderol with only his footwork. Lore slipped into the opponent's back without a sound in the gap where his movements were stiff...
This kind of skill was learned by Luo Di and the former wood elf ranger instructor. Before he got the deputy title of "Berserker", Luo Di worked hard to learn this kind of footwork. "Shadow Dance Step" belongs to "Ranger" One of the custom skills - just because it is a custom skill, it can be made in the form of "imitation" at a low level, but this kind of "imitation" that is not a release skill is bluffing, but the actual effect is not It can't even reach one percent of the original skill, it's just a "hands-on".
However, using it to deal with Sodelor whose attributes are half lower than his own is still more than enough.
The sound of "crackling" wooden swords colliding sounded one after another, causing the scouts onlookers to stare at each other as if they had witnessed a miracle—apparently it was the first time they had seen such unimaginable body and sword skills...
In most cases, a dozen or so seconds is enough to decide the outcome of a swordsmanship duel, and there are very few confrontations where both sides remain unscathed for more than a few minutes. But now, after Soderol struggled for more than a minute, all the scouts were filled with wonder...
Soderol's exquisite swordsmanship has already given them a deeper understanding, but compared to Roddy's always wanton and rash offensive posture, everyone only thinks that Roddy didn't use all his strength at all, but was just playing with Soderol. !
As the person involved, Suo Deluoer didn't feel any emotions such as shame and anger at all at the moment. He only felt that every block he made was considered a super-level performance, but even so, he had no time to make a truly effective attack from the beginning to the end. counterattack...
He has never felt that a swordsmanship duel made him feel so palpitating. Although this is a sparring with wooden swords, Rody's strength has really made him feel trembling in his heart!
At this time, he was already frightened by Rody's strength. He even believed that if he encountered such an enemy on the battlefield, let alone counterattack. With the absolute power that Rody showed just now, he would not have any chance to win!
To Luodi, this display of physical skills was simply "showing off". Suo Deluoer could hardly capture his figure several times in a minute. Implants an impression of "unfathomable" and more awe from it.
And what Rody needs is exactly this kind of awe.
The long sword speeded up, Suo Deluoer's block and dodge had begun to slow down, Rody's footsteps accelerated again, and he leaned forward. When Suo Deluoer raised his hand to parry, the long sword had already changed its angle. out, passed through the other side of his sword, and easily touched the neck of the young second lieutenant.
Suo Deluoer, who was sweating profusely, froze, and he seemed to have not reacted for a while because of his nervousness. After seeing the sword in Rody's hand, he finally sighed and gave up the sword to admit defeat.
There was a moment of silence at the scene, and it took a few seconds for the scouts around to react and cheer loudly—their exclamations and shouts were completely from the heart, because the terrifying strength shown by Rody really surpassed their original strength. imagination!
The wooden sword was thrown aside, and the indifference on Rody's face gradually faded, looking at Suo Deluoer who seemed a little absent-minded and asked: "What do you think of this result?"
"...I just have one question."
Suo Deluoer came back to his senses after a while, and asked in a tired tone: "Why would someone as powerful as you be willing to be a scout captain?"
This is the most difficult question for Rody to explain at present. He can't answer the other party with reasons such as upgrading and changing equipment, but fortunately, Rody has long been prepared in his heart to deal with this kind of problem—
"I'm also curious, why are you willing to be a second lieutenant? With your ability, not to mention a captain, a position like a major should be no problem at all. Those idiots in Fortress Conselton are no match for you at all."
This sentence is a bit exaggerated. After all, Suo Deluoer's current level is 8th level, and the second lieutenant must be at least 10th level to be qualified. But if it is about swordsmanship and combat awareness, Rody is not flattering at all.
In the three duels just now, it seemed that Rody had an absolute advantage, but in fact he took the path of "opportunity" - the first two rounds were purely overwhelming the opponent with strength, while the third round relied on his current "agility" attribute advantage, Speaking of swordsmanship, Rody himself was surprised that the opponent could fight him for a minute with pure intuition and fighting awareness...
If it is pulled to the same attribute level, and one-on-one heads-up, Rody thinks he will not be the opponent of the opponent, this is undeniable.
Soderol was immediately speechless when asked by Rody. Obviously, he also understood that his question was inappropriate, and the descendant of the nobleman bent down and apologized almost as soon as he realized it. The upbringing he showed made Rody are a little ashamed—
"Captain Luo Di, I don't intend to offend, I just feel... a little emotional."
"Understandable." Rody nodded, sort of uncovering the slightly sharp question just now, and changed the subject: "Finks Village no longer exists, the scout team will be redistributed, and Nolan Village just needs capable people." So if you want to be strong, if you want to kill orcs, if you want to break out of your own world - I think...you might consider bringing your people here."
Rody stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the safari breastplate embellished with mithril armor pieces, and said confidently, "I can give you an explanation."
By this time, Soderol had no more hesitation in his heart, and even felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart...
He understands that the "opportunity" he won independently by giving up the "care" of the old duke is now in front of him.
The fragments of the family's destruction flashed before my eyes, the corpses of the wolf cavalry seemed to be still vivid in my mind, and Roddy's words echoed in my ears... These things finally made Suo Deluoer make a life-changing decision:
"Then, just wait for my news, Captain Roddy."
He solemnly gave a military salute, turned around and left immediately, and rode to the town of Broy without any delay.
The scouts watched the second lieutenant leave, and Rody, who was standing in the crowd, was slightly absorbed in thinking about the next question - what should he do next, so that this genius-like figure can show his true brilliance
Also accompanied by it, there is also a point of "discomfort" - because Roddy's inevitable worry. What if Suo Deluoer grows so fast that it exceeds his expectations and control
He has no way to predict the future, because there are not many things in his hands. Apart from the dozen or so scouts behind him, Rody's other hope lies in Sally, who has just escaped from danger.
After his thoughts flowed and his mood gradually calmed down, he resumed his previous posture, turned around and said, "Carter!"
"arrive!"
"Put the equipment aside first, gather everyone, and I will say a few words."
"yes!"
The scouts in Nolan Village almost immediately threw everything aside, stood in two rows in front of Rody, and no one said a word of nonsense.
Apparently, the swordsmanship competition with Suo Deluoer just now has left a deep impression on these scouts... In their hearts, Rody seems to have gradually moved from the concept of a simple "boss" to an "idol" and a "hero". "developed.
Coughing twice, Rody looked at these young faces, and said softly with some emotion: "Everyone, you don't need to pay for these armors and weapons, so don't have too much psychological burden, but about these things, I Just say one sentence, I hope you will remember it firmly."
He stretched out his hand to pick up a long sword, and casually held a sword flower—
"Swords and armor are, after all, used to kill people."
In this way, at the beginning of May in the 8th year of the Elon calendar, in such a quiet village on the border of the Karen Kingdom, Rody ignited the first cluster of "do not know whether it can start a prairie fire" for the seemingly unreachable dream in his heart. spark".
…….
Starting from the early morning of May 8th, in the eyes of the villagers, those scouts who didn't get up early seemed to start to perform a new set of routines today.
At dawn, the soldiers wore full-body armor and started running around the village, followed by inspections. The scouts, who used to have a very long time to spare, now started rigorous physical training after completing the inspections.
Including Ruger and Carter, everyone started to receive these trainings in strict accordance with the plan arranged by Roddy... moving stones to exercise muscles, holding wooden swords for chopping exercises, riding horses to practice riding outside the village, etc.
On the other side, Roddy is making new plans for the next goal.
The thirty sets of long swords and light metal breastplates he bought all the way back cost him a "huge sum" of nearly fifty gold coins.
It is said that these things cost more than 50 gold coins, but in fact more than half of them were directly exchanged with scraps of chimera scales after pouring a few hands. In this era dominated by "natural economy", currency does not circulate as modern people imagine. Currency transactions are commonly used in big cities like Hollier City, but in small places like towns and villages, "bartering" is the most common way of trading - in exchange for these practical equipment, Rody, speaking of which No less effort.
The reason why he bought so much equipment was because Rody understood that what he was going to do next required the cooperation of these scouts, and they were likely to be his earliest "team" in the days of upgrading and struggling.
"Level", "equipment", and "technology", among the three factors that determine strength, only "equipment" is roughly in place in this "team". What Roddy has to do next is to lead them to improve their abilities and levels.
Without strength, all your ideas are empty talk. But where does "strength" come from
Luo Di's eyes gradually turned to the other end of the vast grassland...
