The instructor returned the command of the team to Beowood and Raistlin, and changed his status to an ordinary team member.
Both Beowood and Raistlin are experienced captains. They have both carried out combat missions outside the city, and they quickly assigned tactical positions:
The lantern bearer is in the middle of the team, researchers and scouts are on the second level, long-range fire output and controllers are on the third level, and short-range combatants are on the outermost level.
After all arrangements are made, set off immediately.
Jianguan is six hundred miles away from the Royal City. We plan to arrive before eve of the next day and rest one night in the Old City on the way.
In other words, they need to travel 600 miles in two daylight hours.
And the way to travel is to walk.
No one expressed surprise. Beowood used a crystal with complex engravings to confirm the position and direction, and everyone started marching.
Psychic energy reverberated and resonated in everyone's bodies, making their steps fast. Raistlin checked back and forth in the team, adjusting the pace to make everyone move in unison.
Traveling for a long time is not an explosive sprint. Proper use of spiritual and physical energy is the most critical.
To both Raistlin and Baywood's surprise, Rhodes, who got the lowest score in the speed test, showed extraordinary endurance and endurance. His pace did not change throughout the day. Many
The students who were energetic at the beginning were exhausted by the end. Even Beowood, who was famous for his speed and endurance, was struggling a little, but the student with the lowest score was still taking a leisurely stroll.
Instructor An Ye praised: "The pace is steady and the endurance is sufficient. I didn't expect your spiritual power to be so long-lasting."
Old Blind Moore opened his mouth, revealing a mouth full of yellow teeth: "Yes, much better than some people."
Knight Bach did not speak, but his eyes showed approval.
Baywood glanced at the crystal in his hand and said: "The astrolabe shows that we are still seventy miles away from the old city. We are much slower than planned."
Raistlin said: "There's still one hour until evening. Everyone, work harder, Egg. Those who are exhausted will trouble you."
"No problem."
Egger snapped his fingers, and two streaks of white smoke shot out from his body, rolling up Duoduo and Caramon, who were almost collapsing from exhaustion.
Everyone quickened their pace and finally arrived at the old city before midnight.
When they saw the light on the old and mottled city walls, the students couldn't help but cheer.
This is the first time for most people to come outside the royal city. Not only are they physically exhausted, but they are also mentally depressed.
Traveling outside the royal city is like a recurring nightmare. There is nothing around except the thick black fog that keeps rolling.
You can't see the sun, you can't see the moon, you can't see the distance and the sky. The black fog is like an eternal theme song, blocking out all the noise, leaving only this side of the world illuminated by fire.
There seems to be countless horrors lurking outside the thick fog, and the only comfort is the teammates around you.
The repetitive sights and exhaustion made the spirit very depressed. The light of civilization that was finally seen made the depression rush out like a flood. Many students' eyes were moist, feeling that they had finally returned home.
Baywood and Raistlin also breathed a sigh of relief. Their first combat mission as captains made them somewhat nervous.
Generally speaking, this journey was relatively smooth, and there were no dangers encountered. The sporadic monsters we encountered burned quickly as soon as they entered the firelight. Most of them were burned to ashes within a second or two, and a few did not insist on touching them. The outermost layer of the team.
Since the roads in the red clay plains are very flat, there is no unmanageable situation of being left behind. If they were forced to camp in the wild, the danger would be much greater.
The defenders of the old city opened the city gate and welcomed them in.
Beowood revealed his identity and purpose to the captain of the guard, and was soon properly placed. The team members finally had hot food and hot water, and many people who had been holding it in all the way were finally released.
If you are forced to poop in the wild, the team leader will not let you go to a secret place alone to deal with it. The team members will at most form a circle to help you block it.
Not only is it embarrassing, it will also affect the marching rhythm.
Everyone rested for the night and set off on time the next morning.
Time is very important here. Although the sun cannot be seen, its influence is still there. After sunset, when the sun sets, it is the time when the firelight is dim and the monsters are active. It is not until the sun rises in the morning that everything returns to normal.
Therefore, outside the royal city, it is generally not allowed to travel at dusk or night. You must find a human stronghold or stay in place.
Beowood specifically asked everyone to align their pocket watches, and there should be no error of even one second.
After leaving the old city, everyone fell into boundless darkness again.
This section of the journey is much more difficult than yesterday.
After leaving the old city, we left the relatively safe red clay plains. The roads became rough and the number of monsters became numerous. Monsters that could rush to the team under fire soon appeared.
Although they are destroyed in an instant, it will not only affect the rhythm of the march, but also consume the power of the guardian fire.
If you accidentally bump into a group of monsters, it will not only mean that they will get into a fierce battle, but also consume a lot of the power of the Guardian Fire.
If the power of the guardian fire is exhausted, the fire will go out.
This not only means that they are in great danger and rekindling the fire of guardianship, but also consume a lot of precious materials.
If the fire goes out while performing a task, it is a serious breach of responsibility and will be held accountable by the royal city and even investigated by the internal affairs ruling.
But fortunately, Rhodes is in the team.
The Eye of the Soul can see up to two thousand yards away in the black fog, and the sight range is in the shape of a light cone. Rhodes can see the soul waveforms of all monsters within the light cone at a glance.
Under his command, the team avoided almost all large monster groups.
The few monsters encountered and the precision of the command, even to the point of "move two yards to the left and three steps to the right", not only impressed all the students, but also shocked the two instructors and a teacher.
Unlike the students who have less experience, the instructors and teachers are experienced and have performed countless missions outside Wangcheng.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
They knew very well that after passing the Old City, the last trace of the influence of the Holy Fire had disappeared. This was a completely dark world, and wandering monsters emerged from the black mist at any time, either swallowing, being swallowed, or falling into sleep. p>
It is common to encounter groups of monsters when traveling here. In their expectation, the range of the guardian fire will be reduced by at least half, and the team will successfully reach the sword pass.
But now, the edge of the firelight has shrunk by about half a yard.
More even once phlogiston has not been added yet.
The three of them all focused on Rhodes, who was giving orders loudly: "Ten steps to the left! Stop! Take ten steps forward! What a shame... Oh, I'm sorry, Teacher Moore, please walk a little faster, the fire was not shining just now."
Be careful if you encounter a wandering monster, you may lose some firepower."
What makes the teachers and instructors most incredible is that this young guy can actually see a silent monster within three hundred yards.
Once a monster falls asleep, it will enter a state of silence. At this time, all its spiritual energy will not operate, and its soul will enter a state of nothingness. It will not wake up until it is injured or until a warm life approaches.
This is almost unavoidable, and few clairvoyants can see silent monsters from a distance.
Under his command, they did not even encounter a single awakened silent monster.
An Ye and Moll both turned to look at Bach and asked in a low voice: "Is this the case for complete visionaries in the Knights?"
Bach shook his head: "We usually don't travel on the ground, but I don't think the complete psychics in the group can reach his level."
An Ye and Moir looked at each other, and both saw shock in each other's eyes.
Moore even accidentally knocked out his prosthetic eye.
"This is really a treasure."
He expressed their current mentality in one sentence.
Then, Rhodes was depressed to find that despite his efforts in performing, everyone in the team was more careful with him. The most outrageous thing was that even Mina was like this. Every time he ate, she would unscrew it for him.
Canned food.
Please, don’t you know that strong girls are not popular?
But what no one knew was that Rhodes' heart was bleeding.
With so many monsters, if he met them in the sewer, he would grin from ear to ear.
But at this time, he had to work hard to steer around them.
But these guys still don't appreciate it. You shout in a voice of admiration: "Brother is great! Come on, brother!" Isn't it good?
When everyone is happy and I am happy too, doesn’t the atmosphere get better? Leading the way can also lead better.
But not only was there no scene as imagined, but Annabei next to her sighed: "My junior brother is really too strong. Unfortunately, I always thought I was a powerful psychic. I can't even see thirty yards away in the black mist.
It’s just like Shi Mu Xinzi, the juniors are so strong, what should the seniors do?”
Rhodes laughed dryly: "Sister, you are so humble, your test score is a hundred times higher than mine."
Annabeth glanced at him and said, "Why don't you be your senior's boyfriend? My sister can protect you."
Rhode's face turned dark immediately, little girl, what are you talking about?
Before he could think of how to answer, Mina on the side scolded: "Old woman, do you have the nerve to say this? Don't you look at how old you are?"
Annabeth said angrily: "Mina, are you embarrassed to speak? Are you very young? Don't think I don't know, you are a student of the 20th class, one year older than me!"
"Haha, so what? My age is reflected in my figure, and your age is a factor."
"You!"
"What are you arguing about?" Baywood and Raistlin appeared in the middle of the team instantly. The two men separated the two women with their bodies that were half taller than everyone else.
"If you have anything to do, let's talk about it when we get back. Don't get involved in personal matters during the mission."
The two women snorted and neither spoke.
Baywood glanced at Rhodes and said, "Don't make trouble. Don't molest women during the mission, especially female teammates. I'll introduce you to a leading figure in Hongfang Street later."
Rhodes was shocked: "Don't you hate whoring...that kind of thing?"
"I was joking." Baywood turned back to the front of the team, but judging from the red tips of his ears, he didn't seem to be joking just now.
What a slutty, hypocrite.
Raistlin said with a half-smile: "Rhodes, concentrate on guiding the way, otherwise some people will explode."
Caramon was instantly angry: "I didn't explode, I didn't envy him at all! Many beauties begged me to be their boyfriend every day, but I ruthlessly rejected them."
Raistlin shrugged: "I didn't say who it was." He turned back to the front of the team.
Rhodes sighed, thinking that if you shout "big brother" with a voice of admiration, "big brother", maybe I will agree.
"Big brother is so awesome."
The voice came from behind, and Rhodes felt happy. He turned around and saw that it was the little fat man Duoduo.
He pulled at the corner of his clothes, his eyes full of reverence.
"Thank you." Rhodes barely suppressed a smile and patted him on the shoulder. I don't know where this guy came from. He was timid and didn't show much strength. There was no trace of him in the test.
But there are more than 300 people in the base, so it’s impossible to remember them all.
Maybe I didn't pay attention.
In this way, under the command of Rhodes, the team arrived at Jianguan Pass very smoothly. Although they frequently moved and changed directions, the time it took was half an hour earlier than expected.
