Speaking of which, the impact of the battle seventeen days ago was beyond Roddy's imagination. He wasn't surprised by the 4,600 experience points brought by the "Raid on the Orc Camp (Completed)" mission, but rather surprised by the upgrade of all the scouts in Nolan Village.
After this battle, the levels of all fourteen scouts were raised by two levels, from the original average level 3 to an average level of 5, and Ruger even reached level 6. At this speed, Roddy found that if he brought As they continue to participate in the battle, and the armament and food can keep up, I am afraid that I can really train a fully transferred elite cavalry unit!
In the game, no "player" has ever done such a thing, because NC is not like a player who will do tasks to "upgrade" and kill enemies - they only have one life, and they cannot "resurrect" in the cemetery, so No one would risk death every day to find bad luck for orcs. Moreover, they need about 15% more experience to level up than players, so training NC is completely thankless.
Rody was thinking of establishing his own power before, and he put a lot of effort into this team, but to be honest, he never thought that such investment would immediately see such obvious results...
After calculating the two-level promotion, Rody knew that their current level-up required experience was the same as his own!
Countless longings popped up in my heart almost immediately - if I build this team in the direction of "elite soldiers", what effect will it have
Soderol was transferred to "Guardian Knight", Ruger was transferred to "Gun Knight"... The remaining scouts were transferred to different knights according to their specialties, and they assisted each other with skills, halos, and attributes in different formats to create a A small but formidable force...
Building a team of scouts at the bottom of the frontier into a powerful knight order that even the Duke's subordinates may not be able to have - such a thing sounds incredible, but no one would know that the parchments on Roddy's desk are actually Planning for this long-term project has already begun.
He sorted out how to upgrade, how to change jobs, where to change jobs, what tasks to do, and the materials needed, all of which were sorted out by him. When these scouts didn't have too many plans for the future, Rody had already started to make plans for their growth direction.
Of course, to reach the ideal step, the premise is that you can continue to find opportunities to train these scouts, and try your best to ensure that they do not die on the battlefield.
Thinking this way in my heart, the morning training of the scouts just ended, and the team patrolling the grassland not far away also returned safely, bringing a reply that "everything is normal at the border".
"Assemble, ready for lunch."
Roddy yelled to Suo Deluoer, and the answer of "yes" came from a distance, and then orders such as "all gather" and "stand at attention" came over.
If these scouts were not all wearing medieval-style leather armor, Rody would definitely feel that this was the military camp he was in at that time.
Scout No. 30 was divided into two teams, the captains were Luge and Soderol, and "Political Commissar" Carter usually participated in the training as a special organization, and Roddy became the commander of the entire team, because the military rank was not recognized by Lu Xi. The Furlong family admitted it, so he directly gave himself the title of "instructor".
At this moment, looking at these young people who were neatly lined up and sang "Unity is Strength" collectively after reporting the number, Roddy seemed to have seen a group of powerful knights who could completely overwhelm the "Royal Guard" in the future.
However, after seeing more than 30 people eating the "additional" lunch with a large piece of beef, he still sighed secretly: To do those things, he must first have money!
The slaughtered orc camp didn't contribute too many spoils, except for those scimitars, there were only more than forty wargs that were worth something. Luo Di didn't have the idea of using them as his own mounts. Firstly, he couldn't afford them, and because he couldn't ride them, he simply slaughtered most of them, sold the wolf skins, claws, and bones to subsidize funds, and threw the rest directly on the grassland. Letting that group of Conserton cavalrymen "pick up" them as military exploits can also be regarded as leaving an explanation for the disappearance of the group of wolf cavalrymen.
So far, he has ordered all the scouts to strictly prohibit the news of killing all the wolf cavalry from leaking out, so the whole kingdom is still kept in the dark about the real reason for the disappearance of the wolf cavalry.
The discipline at the dinner table was very strict. All the soldiers were buried in their meals and could not hear a word of small talk. When he was in the game, "food" had little effect on the player, but Rody understood that "daily diet" had an additional impact on the attributes of NC—so in order to keep the attributes of these soldiers from being compromised, the food placed in front of the scouts was The richness is outrageous, and there is no bluffing at all.
Twenty minutes later, the table was clean, and Roddy clapped his hands, indicating that he had something to say:
"Everyone, let me briefly talk about the next plan."
"It's the end of June now, and our training will continue for about a month. I'll tell you what we have to do next. You'd better be mentally prepared in advance."
The two rows of soldiers on the left and right turned their heads and looked over, their tanned faces showing the same determination.
"The plan is very simple: in mid-August, we will go to the kingdom of the orcs."
When Rody finished speaking, he seemed to be able to clearly hear the voices of several people swallowing with difficulty.
"Sounds scary, but things are much easier than you think. Starting tonight, I will start telling you what to do, what to encounter there, how to deal with it - so... everyone, learn and remember , I don't want to lose any brave soldier, and I don't want to let go of any damn orc."
In the past, perhaps not many people would have listened to such words, but the soldiers had thoroughly accepted the concept of "obeying the commander's order" during training, and coupled with Rody's strength and prestige in previous battles, So at this time, none of them thought about "whether it is feasible" for this matter, but they all started to think about how to "study hard" at night.
From here, we can see the role of Roddy's previous militarized management and the existence of Carter's "political commissar".
"I can guarantee that our behavior is not suicide. We have excellent soldiers and horses, and you—the soldiers who know how to fight best in the entire border! Those wolf cavalry can drive straight in and wreak havoc, why can't we go to the kingdom of orcs to do the same about?"
"It's been almost seventy years. Since Emperor Kang En drove the orcs to the back of the grassland, which army in the Karen Kingdom has done what we do today?"
"Tamp down the entire camp of the orc advance troops, and slaughter thirty-three full-length wolf cavalrymen—may I ask, what did those nobles do? That Lord Kirk who hid like a tortoise, did he do anything for those who died? Did the villagers of Cree Village do something?"
These words have been brewing in Luo Di's chest for a long time, and it can be said to be extremely provocative. The cultural quality of the soldiers is not high, and most of them are illiterate, so it is too easy for Rody to "fool". After a few words, the expressions of the soldiers became slightly excited, and the blood in their chests was surging—
After all, there is one fact that cannot be denied: they are indeed the first human beings to resist and win the orc invasion in decades!
Use the facts of the battle to tell them that "the orcs are not terrible", and then plant the seeds of "contributing to the cause and serving the motherland" in their hearts. In this era when knights value honor more than life, these scouts gradually possessed courage that ordinary people cannot match. And faith, took the "first step" on a theoretical basis towards the "Knights" envisioned by Roddy.
When announcing such a thing, Rody did not use a deliberative tone, and after another impassioned speech, he sent these agitated scouts to the dormitory to rest. Then he called Soderol and Carter to his study—
"That's the way it is. What do you think?"
Only at this time, Rody will speak in a questioning tone. Soldiers can have a little dissatisfaction, but the management must agree on it—Rody doesn’t want to be caught by uncooperative subordinates when he is traveling through the dangerous orc kingdom. Hold back.
"I'm all for it."
As Luge, who watched Rody complete one after another of "miracles" and "feats", he had no objection to all of Rody's decisions at this time, so he directly expressed his opinion without thinking.
But Soderol frowned slightly, and said in a low voice: "Attacking the kingdom of the orcs... Such a plan is really crazy."
"Because of the madness, no one would have thought of such a possibility. This is the first guarantee of our success." Rody already had the answer to his question, so he reached out and took out a large roll of parchment, and slowly rolled it out .
What Soderol and Luge showed was a precise military map that had never been drawn by the Karen Empire military before. Rody drew this map of the former Beastman Kingdom from his memory, and modified it based on the information he asked from the Beastman Xhosa—the finished product on the table finally mapped all the tribal villages in the entire northeastern part of the Beastman Kingdom. The location, and even the approximate population and number of troops are marked on it.
Soderol narrowed his eyes, he knew exactly what such a map meant in military terms. When thinking backwards about the past, he couldn't help but feel sad for the orcs—this group of orcs probably still couldn't figure out the exact location of Houlier City, right
"If it were you, where would you choose to raid?"
Like a fight, Roddy always takes the initiative in the conversation with ease. Having already forgotten the purpose of his coming here today, Soderol immediately began to think about this question in his mind like a student being asked a question by a teacher after hearing the words.
Luge bent down and looked at him. Speaking of him, he was just a qualified fighter, but not a commanding talent. He shook his head because he couldn't read all the words on it. .
And the latter obviously has a lot of research on this. After thinking about it, he landed his fingertips somewhere, and then drew along the map to the interior of the Beastman Kingdom—"The Beastman tribe is sparse, and from here we can go deep into the Beastman Kingdom. tribes to attack without fear of reprisals... if you go fast enough, you can even raid here, here, and here in two days."
Rody nodded secretly, marveling at this guy's keen observation and judgment, because everything the other said was in line with his original plan: when the orc was defenseless, he stabbed the enemy's weakness !
But what only Rody himself knows is that... the Beastman Kingdom was always in a state of "civil strife" during the first three years of opening the server. Like the human aristocratic lords, these tribal savage races are not as united as imagined, and to some extent even more chaotic than the Karen Kingdom.
This kind of civil strife lasted for three years. It was not until the orc kingdom was unified by the "King of Thousand Axes" Great Chief Sauron before the service opened that these barbaric guys gradually had the ambition to conspire against the human kingdom. Before Sauron conquered dozens of tribes, large and small, most of the frictions at the kingdom's borders were caused by the greed of small tribes like the "Hammer of Rohar", not the unified behavior of the orc kingdom.
Under such a background, Rody can make the whole thing unnoticed, making the other party think it is a provocation from other tribes without being discovered-such a journey, the number of orcs killed is definitely enough for the team and I have been promoted several levels in a row, and when I return, not to mention the improvement of the team's strength, I should also have enough strength to find trouble with Francis.
Getting rid of Francis is the next goal after this trip. Other lords and nobles may be just "pig teammates", but Francis can be directly classified as an unforgivable "enemy"-this "traitor" must be killed for Rody.
Soderol pondered for a moment, finally nodded in approval of Roddy's plan, and then asked his last question:
"There's nothing wrong with attacking like this, but—why mid-August? That's..."
"It's the rainy season, and it's the time when it rains the most."
Rody narrowed his eyes slightly, and pointed to the grassland close to the border of the Beastman Kingdom, "So let me tell you that you don't have to worry about the enemy's pursuit, because we will have a safe way out during the rainy season."
"The back road?"
Suo Deluoer and Ruge both showed puzzled expressions, because what Rody was referring to was just an empty grassland area.
"Before it rains, this is a grassland. But after it rains, this place has a new name..."
Rody narrowed his eyes slightly, tapped the parchment lightly, and said the place name that Soderol had never heard of—
"Death Swamp."
