Chapter 144: The Evil Consequences of Changes in the Main Line Plot
"Um... did we fight off the beast tide just now?"
"It seems so...how on earth did we do it?"
"I don't know... I just listened to the instructions and followed the skills... I seemed to win in a daze."
"I feel the same way. I just won out of nowhere..."
"..."
Everyone felt a little incredible. They had really defeated a beast tide that was several times larger than their own. Only when they looked at the corpses of sea beasts all over the ground in front of them could they dare to believe that they had really created a miracle.
At this moment, everyone's eyes burst out with excitement and ecstasy for the rest of their lives.
We survived! We defeated the beast tide!
They looked at Raymond holding the loudspeaker again. There was no doubt in their eyes, but instead they were full of reverence. This is respect for the strong!
It turns out that this classmate Raymond really knows how to command, and... he seems to be very good at it?
But...we are obviously all new students, why is there such a big gap?
In fact, Philip Academy already has the course "War Command", which is also a required course for everyone in the elite class. But obviously everyone came from compulsory education, why do you stand out?
If extraordinary strength can be said to be a gift, then war command really requires experience and the ability to adapt to changes.
To an outsider, it might seem that Raymond just screamed like a ghost and howled a few times, but they were aristocratic elites who had systematically learned command, and they knew that the process was not simple.
They know very well how difficult it is to control a battle well on the battlefield... A good commander must not only have an overall view and monitor the battlefield in real time, but also be familiar with the abilities of almost all extraordinary professions in one's side and deploy them efficiently.
personnel.
Career arrangement, skill release distance, timing control, enemy weakness analysis, and knowing how to change formations at any time, make up for gaps in battle formations, and deal with emergencies...
It is not difficult to do the above.
But it’s very difficult to take care of all of this perfectly!
In addition to the accumulation of massive extraordinary knowledge, it also requires countless practical experiences to minimize mistakes.
The tsunami-like sea monster just hit us. If we make even the slightest mistake, it may lead to an irreversible crisis of destruction.
However, under this desperate situation, Raymond managed to perfectly complete the battlefield command and dispatch. His extremely calm mentality and extremely meticulous strategic thinking are terrifying to think about. This guy seems to have started from the beginning.
In the end, there were no mood swings, no tension, no mistakes, no timidity... Numbness is like a cold war machine!
"Classmate Raymond, you are really great! You almost hurt everyone because of the instructor's mistake just now... But you did the right thing. You saved this battle..."
The one who spoke was the mentor Connie who had been deprived of his command just now.
At this moment, there was no trace of shame or anger on his face at being overshadowed by others. Instead, his face was filled with relief and apology.
When he was still a student, he was a super academic who got full marks in "War Command" every year. Therefore, he was retained to command this group of new students.
It was his solid theoretical support that allowed him to deeply understand how amazing Raymond's impeccable command just now was.
This is an art-level battle command!
To be able to achieve this level of success can only be accomplished by extremely experienced senior generals!
There was no hesitation in the whole process, he was decisive, precise, calm...even "ruthless"! Being fearless in the face of danger and calm to the extreme are the qualities that a top battlefield commander must have!
Instructor Connie looked at Raymond, his eyes shining brightly, and praised: "Classmate Raymond, you have proved through practice that your attainments in 'actual command' are far superior to mine. Without you, maybe we would have lost the whole army just now."
Destroyed..."
"Uh... Teacher Connie was so complimentary. In fact, it's not as powerful as you said, so I just yelled a few times..."
"Classmate Lei Meng, it's now time. You don't need to be humble. Your excellent command ability is obvious to all. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be as good as you just now. Therefore, I decided to give up the highest command authority for this battle.
here you are!"
"Forehead..."
When Raymond heard this, he was embarrassed and at a loss.
The fighting stopped, and he recovered from the state of numbness and calmness he was immersed in.
This... has stolen the limelight from my tutor, and now he is still putting his attitude down so low. What should I do?
Looking at the monster-like eyes around him, Raymond felt a little panicked at the moment. The previous misunderstandings were all resolved, and everyone's eyes became bright and clear when they looked at Raymond. At this desperate moment, they
It’s even more profound.
"Oh my god, Instructor Connie actually said that he is not as good as Mr. Raymond... He is the top theoretical expert on 'war command science' in the academy!"
"Instructor Connie said so, so I'm afraid Student Raymond is really very accomplished in conducting."
"Isn't it awesome? Didn't everyone experience it just now?"
"Hey...is he a monster? It's so jealous. If I can survive this time, he will be my role model in the future!"
"What a talent that makes people jealous! He is already the most popular potion master and swordsman in the academy... Now he even has such excellent war command skills, he is simply... a monster."
"We also have to work hard to make progress, and we can't let Mr. Raymond get pushed too far!"
"..."
Some students still didn't understand why they had won the battle just now. Now after hearing what their instructor said, they realized that they were able to defeat the wave of beasts just now, not because the sea beasts were not as strong as expected, but because there were
An excellent commander.
At this moment, a lighthouse seemed to light up in everyone's hearts, allowing them to see a glimmer of victory in the dark night of despair.
...
The praises were endless, but Raymond didn't take them seriously.
Looking at Zhang Ying's energetic face, I felt quite emotional. If they can survive, after today, if they can survive, they will definitely be the pillars of Philip's leadership.
If you can survive.
The evil dragon hasn't shown its face yet, and now this beast tide is just an appetizer.
What's more, even if the beast tide is defeated, Philip's offensive and defensive forces have already suffered heavy losses. The Tianlan Royal Navy, which is eyeing it with eager eyes, will never let go of this good opportunity.
"I hope the Duke can still find a way..."
Raymond could only hope so, but he was not optimistic that Archduke Philip alone could reverse all this.
There is something that says the situation is over. Now that the Philip Territory has been completely destroyed, even if there is a back-up plan... I am afraid it will be a desperate blow to make a comeback.
...
The biggest advantage of a time traveler is that he is familiar with the plot, and the biggest "suicide" is to randomly change the plot.
But now... the wings of the butterfly effect have been fanned, and the subsequent storm will become stronger and stronger, developing in a direction that Raymond cannot predict.
Ever since he escaped from the Vulture Pirates with Heines' Notes, the main storyline has been constantly changing.
In the game, Philip's territory will indeed decline, but it is also due to the plague and the conspiracy of the "peace seekers"... and there is absolutely no "dragon attacking the city" plot like the current one, and there is no "sour" plot.
"Fruit" ability user...
Raymond actually didn't know that all of this really changed the main plot because of his existence.
If he hadn't killed Vanessa, the Whale Chamber of Commerce wouldn't have sent Meyer to investigate... Meyer wouldn't have gotten a Devil Fruit due to a chance encounter on the sea. He didn't have the qualifications to become a person with abilities.
After joining cp9, he has no ability to use the secret power of the world government to direct such a big drama of dragon siege... His life trajectory may be like in the game, becoming a senior staff member who lives behind the scenes and is unknown.
Without Raymond's appearance, Anna would not be caught, and vampire Capone's hidden moon plan would definitely fail...
Raymond changed some of the main hidden plots in several "Novice Villages", which directly changed the future situation of the entire Black Sea... Only then did he fall into this unexpected crisis.
"It's not easy to travel through a wave of other worlds, why don't you burp right here..."
Even though his current "Sense Qi" skill level is still very low,
But at this moment, Lei Meng still felt the countless powerful "Qi" in the distance, pressing towards the depths of the college like a landslide.
Raymond guessed that Archduke Philip had not taken action yet, probably waiting for the evil dragon to appear and give it a fatal blow.
But unfortunately, this cunning "Kraken" is not so easily fooled, and still just drives a steady stream of sea beasts to attack the city...
I don’t know if this group of people can persist until then.
At this time, Raymond Cochlea moved slightly and frowned.
"Everyone is ready!"
He glanced at the people who were repairing, and said loudly: "The next wave of beasts is coming soon, it is the sea python tribe! Change of formation! The four-square formation is replaced by the "Chuanliu Formation" of a hundred people! Place the horizontal sword in the shield gap..."
"Assassins have deployed 'sharp knife traps' on the ground...Sea pythons are not cold-resistant, and mages are slowed down by frost...The medical team prepares antidote potions..."
At this moment, Instructor Connie was willing to be the foil and shouted loudly: "Everyone, listen to Classmate Raymond's arrangements and change the formation!"
The moment the order was given, everyone started moving in cooperation.
Several thousand-man battles split up instantly and turned into dozens of "Sichuan"-shaped battle formations. Countless sharp knives protruded from the sides of the shields, like ferocious centipedes...
this time,
Hearing Raymond’s loud shout,
No one hesitates anymore,
no doubt,
no timidity,
In their eyes, they only have the determination to fight to the death.
...
Even in the game, Raymond had never seen such a large-scale beast tide. When he saw the python tide that overlapped several meters high and came and went like waves, his right eyelid kept twitching.
Sea pythons have extremely strong reproductive capabilities. They are one of the most numerous groups of sea animals in almost all sea areas. There are many kinds of sea animals in the family Boa family, such as spotted sea pythons, two-headed sea pythons, one-horned sea pythons, and golden-ringed fire pythons.
, green-skinned poisonous python... ranging from the first to the tenth level, and even the deep-sea giant monster, one of the ultimate monsters that dominates a sea area in the endless sea in the game, the super-level giant beast, the "nine-headed titan python"
"Merrit!"
(Note: ‘Sea Kings’ refer to ocean monsters in the deep sea that are huge in size but have low intelligence; while ‘Deep Sea Monsters’ are not only large in size, but also extremely intelligent, and are generally the overlord of one party.)
The black sea python in front of Raymond's eyes, there are tens of thousands of sea pythons of various kinds, most of them are first-order sea monsters as thick as a water tank, and there are also some second-order beings with huge body size and capable of spitting magic mixed in.
The "Stream Battle Formation" is like a floodgate, specifically targeting this kind of soft-vertebral reptile sea beast.
The tide of beasts surged forward, passing directly through the gaps between the battle formations, and they were cut and scratched by the dense sharp blades. For a moment, flesh and blood rolled, and the battle reached a climax at the first touch.
Professional power boosters like Raymond have countless experiences and insights on "monster spawning". However, facing this endless sea monster, they are gradually becoming unable to do what they want.
Finally, a second-level peak double-headed poisonous fire python rushed into the front line, broke through the battle needle, and finally caused a large number of casualties. Its two python heads were as big as tipping buckets, one mouth spitting out dark green venom, and the other spitting out blazing flames... This
The existence of this second-order pinnacle sea beast is simply an invincible and deadly existence for these new students with average talent of Sequence 9...
...
"The 'Two-Headed Sea Python' is a second-level peak monster. The students here cannot deal with it at all. There are too many casualties..."
Instructor Connie naturally also discovered the sea python that broke up the battle formation. He said solemnly: "I am one of the few instructors who still has some fighting power... I can only kill it."
Upon hearing this, a mentor beside him said anxiously: "But... you are not good at fighting! Besides, there are so many sea pythons along the way, how can you get past them?"
Connie's eyes showed firmness, and he was obviously determined to leave, and said: "If we let that beast continue to wreak havoc, it will soon spread to other formations. Morale is low now. If we don't kill it, this wave of beasts may
I can’t stand it anymore. Even if the chance of success is slim, I will try!”
"But..."
At this moment, an unexpected situation occurred.
While Instructor Connie was still thinking about how to "decapitate" his heart through the tidal sea python, he heard someone shouting loudly on the side.
"Teacher Connie, please take over the command temporarily. I'll kill that big guy first!"
"What?"
Instructor Connie was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and exclaimed: "Raymon, don't take risks! That's a second-level peak sea beast..."
But before he could say anything, he saw a figure leap out of the battle formation and rush towards the two-headed sea python.
"Classmate Raymond is out fighting! What is he going to do?"
"Could it be that...he wants to kill the two-headed python?"
"Oh my god, the ground is full of crawling sea pythons, there is no place to stay. He is going to be bitten..."
"Don't get entangled by the sea python, otherwise..."
"..."
The scene that everyone was worried about did not appear. Raymond held a long sword with black light in one hand and ran like the wind. Everyone thought that he would be stopped by the giant pythons on the ground, but they didn't expect those first-order sea pythons.
It didn't cause any hindrance to him at all. It was like an extremely sharp knife cutting through a mess, cutting everything in its path!
"It turns out that classmate Lei Meng's swordsmanship is so powerful...the shadow of the sword is like a fan, and the body is like a giant. He...he can actually cut off a giant python with just one move? Isn't he talking about the Aedes python's skin and tough flesh?
Hou, even the muskets can't do anything, how on earth did he do it?"
"There are reverse scales under the neck of the python-like monster, so it is not difficult to cut through it. What is rare is that he can actually find the 'weak point to attack' every time when the giant python is twisting wildly. Only then
It’s the most incredible. This requires not only precise swordsmanship, but also extremely keen observation and judgment skills. It only happened once, but he actually did it again and again...it’s really scary.”
"Why do I feel like classmate Raymond has eyes in the back of his head? He can actually avoid the sneak attack of the giant python behind him every time, and even kills the giant python with his backhand without even looking back..."
"It seems to be the ability to 'listen to the wind and argue'. I heard that he recently became a disciple of the blind senior who was the direct descendant of Sodros. Recently, I have been seeing him training secretly with him in the swordsmanship hall in front of that senior.
..”
"..."
At this moment, everyone was shocked. They watched Raymond rush into the beasts like chopping melons and vegetables, and actually cut a bloody path. Everyone was amazed, and their morale instantly rose.
"Come on, Raymond!"
"Please, don't die..."
"..."
They did not hesitate, and launched their attacks one after another to help Raymond clear the way. Colorful spells and bullets paved the way, and the road was filled with fire and electricity.
But after a while,
Raymond had already approached the two-headed sea python.
Someone shouted: "Be careful, that two-headed sea python will spray venom and fire..."
Hearing this, Raymond frowned slightly. Of course he knew this. Moreover, he also knew all the weaknesses of this two-headed sea python!
"Whoa!"
Blood splattered and the python's head fell to the ground.
There was no fighting, no sloppiness, no room for it to fight back.
With just one blow, Raymond carried the poison and cut off two heads with one blow.
[Ding! You killed the ‘Double-Headed Poisonous Fire Python’, with potential points of 9 and soul points of 1. 】
"Oh my God... what level has Mr. Raymond reached? How could he kill a second-level peak sea beast with one strike? Has he already advanced to a transcendent level?"
"The true energy is not released, it should still be sequence 9. He can do this step probably because of the characteristics of sword skills. I have heard of the 'Jokudou One Sword Style' style of fighting, where every sword is full force, and the sword is full force.
, their line of swordsmanship is all about killing with one blow..."
"It's really amazing... One sword hit the weak spot, exactly... This swordsmanship is probably even better than Dunn's before."
"If this kid doesn't fail like this today, he will really have a bright future."
"..."
The two-headed python was beheaded,
Just when everyone couldn't be happy for a long time,
A high-pitched dragon roar echoed through the entire Philip Academy.
