The fact that the wolf rider captain was killed by the enemy's arrow was right in front of them, but the rest of the orcs didn't seem to be able to react for a while. When they looked back at their leader's corpse in surprise, they forgot to make tactical evasive maneuvers …
So, with a sound like a watermelon exploding, another orc with a hole in his head instantly fell to the ground.
Not only the Orc scout, but everyone, including Captain Carter, was also dumbfounded. They didn't expect Roddy to counterattack in this situation … The ability of mounted archery was not something that could be achieved just by saying it. The bumpy horses, the difference between uphill and downhill, the fast moving route, the crosswind speed … Under the influence of these factors, even a veteran like Rudy would not be able to shoot accurately from a medium to long distance.
But when he thought of Roddy's previous performance of chasing nine arrows, Captain Carter habitually accepted this illusory reality in front of him … When he was about to raise his bow and arrow to attack, he heard Roddy who shot the third arrow yell, "Keep going, don't stop!"
"Poof!"
The third arrow hit the shoulder of a mount wolf, causing it to roll to the ground along with the orc rider behind it. Within a few seconds of Roddy's counterattack, the eight wolf riders lost almost half of their combat power, and the remaining five orcs slowly stopped their pursuit under the deterrence of Roddy's terrifying and accurate archery …
Their leader and adjutant died on the spot under Roddy's arrows. There was no way to save them, and they were all killed in one shot. Only the third arrow hit the mount wolf, but at the same time, it broke the arm of the fallen orc warrior, and he also lost the ability to fight …
The beastmen, who had always considered themselves to be superior in battle, suddenly felt a sense of fear in their hearts. They had never thought that the human in front of them would be able to suppress an entire troop of wolf riders so easily. The accurate archery was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, causing the wolf riders who had lost their leader to hesitate and stop their pursuit, completely giving up on advancing forward.
But just when they were about to turn around to rescue their fallen comrade, they heard the increasingly intense sound of horse hooves coming from behind!
Never in their wildest dreams would the orcs have thought that these "cowardly" and "cowardly" humans would actually turn around and attack them!
This time, the five Orc Wolf Riders were going downhill, and almost all of them stopped in their tracks. On the other hand, the scout who reappeared on the slope on his warhorse assumed a charging stance. He raised the longsword in his hand and aimed his horse's head straight at the Wolf Riders who did not have the time to turn around to face him!
There was a huge disparity in morale between the two armies, and there was a huge geographical difference. Moreover, because Roddy's position was directly in the direction of the sun, the orcs who wanted to see their position had to face the glaring sunlight to look for the enemy. At that moment, the three major factors of timing, geography, and manpower were all in Roddy's hands. So he did not hesitate to lead the scouts in a terrifying charge with their morale soaring!
Although they were the poorly equipped private scouts of the nobles, although they were just useless soldiers who had been riding on horses for many years, although their horsemanship was not very good, and their swordsmanship was not very good … But at that moment, they were all instantly fired up by the words that Roddy shouted first.
Carter, who was following behind Roddy, felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He took a deep breath and shouted the slogan that he had not said for a long time —
"For the glory of Cullen!"
This sentence was like a shot of adrenaline, giving the scouts a powerful strength that made their scalps go numb from excitement. It was as if even the weakest person would be filled with courage, and even the most cowardly soldier would dare to pick up a sword and cut off the enemy's head!
The distance of thirty meters was covered in just a breath's time.
Roddy, who used to be a "Berserker", brandished the long sword in his hand without any fear. The blade swept past the Orc who could not dodge in time, and directly split the shoulder of the Orc who could not dodge in time!
Carter and the rest of the scouts shouted loudly. Although their movements were clumsy, they miraculously cut down three Wolf Riders. These Orcs no longer had any morale to speak of. They only cared about parrying with their swords and did not have the will to fight back. In a single move, they were cut down to the ground like melons and vegetables …
The scouts who had charged past the Orc team made a half circle. At this time, there was only one Orc left alive. Seeing the situation, he completely lost the will to fight and turned to run. However, in the next moment, he was shot in the back by Roddy's amazing arrow from seventy meters away, and he fell to the ground and rolled down the low slope.
Even though it was a heavy bow with a high initial speed, it still took nearly two seconds for the arrow to hit the target. At this time, Carter and the others gradually understood what true "archery" was. Because when Roddy shot this arrow, he was riding on the back of a horse and was moving like the Orc in the distance …
So this arrow meant that Roddy had perfectly calculated the terrain, wind speed, the enemy's movement and the speed of the arrow, and accurately shot the enemy!
Carter and the others asked themselves … In this situation, they would not even know where the arrow they shot would land, let alone hit the enemy's heart!
And Roddy's amazing arrow also announced the end of the battle. Carter calculated. From the beginning of the enemy's pursuit to the completion of the clean counterattack, the total time had not even been five minutes.
And the result? All eight Orc Wolf Riders were dead, and the scouts had no casualties.
"Dismount! Collect the spoils of war! "
Captain Carter's expression was extremely excited, and even the rest of the team had the same expression … The reason for this was because they had achieved a charge that only the legendary knights could achieve — although they did not hold long spears, wore heavy armor, and did not have a neat formation, they had actually cut down the two-meter tall Orc Wolf Riders riding on Mount Wolves!
This would probably be a topic of conversation for the rest of their lives.
Roddy did not let down his guard. As he rode on the back of the horse, he raised his bow and shot a few arrows continuously, killing all the Mount Wolves. At this time, Carter, who was at the side, realized that every time Roddy shot an arrow, he would use his finger to pinch the fine mark on the tail of the arrow. His eyes lit up, thinking that it was some secret archery technique, so he asked curiously, "What are those engravings on the arrow shafts?"
"Markings that need to be adjusted when shooting." Roddy retracted his gaze from the last Mount Wolf that had fallen. His cold and focused expression disappeared, and was replaced with a calm and friendly one. He replied, "Every arrow is different, so I need to know how much error there will be when I shoot different arrows. Previously, when I borrowed 50 arrows, I picked and marked them, it was to achieve the highest accuracy."
This truth made Carter speechless, and he could not accept it for a moment — he had never thought that after reaching this level of archery, he would be able to be so accurate that every arrow had to be marked!
"You see, I can chase nine out of ten arrows, but that's because the distance is too close, and I can basically completely ignore the error of the arrows. But the further the distance, the more unstable the conditions, and the harder it is to ensure the accuracy of the arrows. Beyond 50 meters, even the slightest difference in each arrow will cause an error … For example, his head —" Roddy had already ridden in front of the Orc corpse that he had shot through the head with an arrow. "If I did not adjust according to the error of the arrows, I might have only shot through his ear."
Carter swallowed his saliva, and he was completely speechless. He felt that the person in front of him was a freak, and everything that he had done was beyond the scope of his understanding.
Dismounting from his horse, the scout leader felt that it would be more reassuring for him to clean up the corpses with the other scouts.
And Roddy also dismounted from his horse, and looked at the scattered corpses on the ground, and frowned slightly.
In the game, he had killed countless Orcs, but that was just f * cking hell. But when he killed the real Orcs, Roddy did not feel too touched or repulsed. When the bloody scene was displayed in front of him, he only felt that the smell was a little unpleasant. As for the scattered corpses on the ground, Roddy seemed to have been trained to be immune to them by the game.
He sighed, not knowing whether to lament himself for being cold-blooded or to be numb to it. In a low voice, he called out the character attributes panel. At this moment, he was relieved to see that the number displayed in the experience bar had exceeded the experience required to level up.
Available experience points: 366
Previously, it was 159. The Orcs that he had just killed along with the group attack had lost a lot of experience points to his teammates, so the experience points of the eight Orc Wolf Riders did not all go to Roddy. After the system verified it, it was still 207 experience points. Roddy was not bothered by this. The early stages of leveling up were more or less the same. The real essence of "Earth Breaker" was the various advanced professions and different combinations of professions that were derived after the basic profession reached level 10. The advantage of leveling up now was the increase in various attributes of the body. Although the increase was not small, compared to the benefits of the advanced professions in the future, it was not precious at all.
However, Roddy did not immediately choose to use these experience points to level up [Legion Soldier]. Instead, he frowned and thought of another problem. It was regarding a controversial setting in "Earth Breaker" —
In the game, the instant the basic profession was leveled up, the HP and various attributes would be restored to full.
This situation was similar to the "full HP resurrection" in the past. The original intention seemed to be to prevent new players from dying frequently. At first glance, it sounded like a bug. Imagine a half-dead player suddenly jumping around when he was heavily injured. It did not conform to the usual gameplay style of "Earth Breaker". However, players would only realize in the later stages of the game that when all the basic professions were maxed out, this setting would not affect the balance of the game at all.
However, to the current Roddy, if this bug that was not really a bug could really work, it would be a great trump card for him. He did not have the chance to resurrect in this world. Health potions? Not to mention Norland Village, even Hollier City might not be able to get one. There were no players here, nor were there any Alchemists. It was not realistic to find alchemy potions.
He looked at his HP. Compared to the morning, it had recovered a little, but it was still not full. Therefore, in order to verify if leveling up could restore his HP to full, Roddy directly used the experience points to level up [Legion Soldier].
A buzzing sound rang in his mind. Then, an inexplicable feeling spread throughout his body. It was as if his body was filled with strength. The increase in various attributes allowed him to clearly experience the feeling of his strength increasing. He glanced at his HP again. As expected, it was indeed effective!
