Chapter 31 Crossing the River and Destroying the Bridge
Chapter 31 Burning the bridge across the river
"Uh...what's wrong?" Roger asked subconsciously, and then he realized that there were no undead creatures in front of him. After a hard battle, he finally eliminated all the undead creatures.
Among the hundreds of undead creatures besieging Oak Town, only the giant skeleton warriors who fell to the ground were still struggling. However, they no longer posed any threat. Several spear militiamen quickly stabbed their weapons into their eye sockets, causing their
The fire of the soul is completely extinguished.
And Roger also absorbed the two most powerful soul powers in this battle. According to his own estimation, the strength of the soul power of the giant skeleton warrior is at least equal to dozens of zombies. This is the so-called high risk and high reward, the more
The more powerful and difficult the enemy is, the stronger their soul power becomes.
Looking at the remains of the undead creatures around him, Roger couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The situation just now was too critical, and now he was a little scared when he thought about it. However, when Roger thought about the situation in front of him, the frown he had just relaxed returned again.
Screwed together.
Although the enemies besieging Oak Town were completely wiped out, Roger's losses were not small. Before entering the town, he had more than thirty spear militiamen, but now there are only four left. This is what Roger continued to do throughout the battle.
As a result of the additional reinforcements, otherwise he would have been a mere commander by now.
Fortunately, although Roger paid a high price, he collected more soul power. Moreover, after many battles, the four surviving spear militiamen also had an extra gold thread on the cuffs of their combat uniforms.
, indicating that they have changed from recruits to veterans. This also shows that the combat effectiveness of these four soldiers has been improved to a higher level than ordinary spear militiamen. From now on, they can definitely be regarded as a strong force in the ranks of the spear militia.
The castle leader was obviously very satisfied with Roger's harvest this time. He laughed in his mind and said: "You did a really good job this time. The soul power collected is enough to upgrade four castle buildings. If this continues, it will soon be over."
You can upgrade to the third level castle!"
Roger was not as optimistic as Lord Castle. For some reason, Marcus's false smile always wavered in front of his eyes. So he did not brag in front of Lord Castle like before, but gave serious instructions:
: "Keep training soldiers, don't stop, the sooner the better!"
Hearing that Roger was worried, the Castle Commander immediately followed the instructions without asking. Since upgrading to the second-level castle, the Castle Commander has trained soldiers faster than before. Basically, he can train a spear militia in about ten minutes.
Roger estimated that as long as he had two more hours, he would be able to steadily overwhelm the mercenaries under Markas with the strength he had at his disposal, so he felt a little more at ease.
As the gap in the wall became quiet, Roger's followers first gathered around him. Looking at the messy battlefield, everyone could think of what a cruel battle their master had experienced just now, and looked at him in his eyes.
It's all admiration.
Lisa leaned against Roger even more tightly, and even her delicate body was trembling slightly. The reason why the girl was like this was entirely due to nervousness. When she thought about how dangerous Roger was in just now, she couldn't help but feel scared.
Roger also understood Lisa's thoughts and hugged her gently to comfort her. At this moment, he knew how important his position was in this beautiful girl's heart, and he felt very happy from the bottom of his heart.
The residents of Oak Town also came out of their homes one after another. Everyone was very frightened when they saw the scene in the gap. They hid at home and only heard the sound of fighting. It was not until they saw it with their own eyes that they realized how serious the battle just now was.
It was intense, especially the remains of the two giant skeleton warriors that surprised everyone.
Many people looked at Roger with a bit of awe and gratitude, and some people already felt vaguely in their hearts that if Roger and others hadn't happened to arrive, Oak Town would not have been able to escape today's catastrophe.
Marcus and his mercenaries were the last ones to show up. The fat man greeted Roger with a smile as usual and said many words of gratitude, but said nothing about whether he wanted to sell food to Roger.
Roger also noticed that Marcus's smile was more forced than before. The fat man was obviously worried now. However, he was too lazy to talk to this hypocritical fat man. He only said that he was exhausted after fighting with the soldiers and needed to find someone.
A place to rest.
Marcus immediately patted his chest and said that the matter would be taken care of by him, and then hurried away, shaking his body fat, saying that he wanted to find the most comfortable place for Roger and the soldiers to rest.
"This old fox! He and his men didn't show up when we were fighting the undead creatures just now, but now he comes out and pretends to be a good guy!" Mike didn't have the slightest fondness for Marcus. After he left, he said to Roger bitterly: "Master
, this kind of person who betrays his allies is simply untrustworthy, you must not be deceived by him!"
"Don't worry, I'm measured." Roger responded lightly, and then said to Mike: "You can take the others to rest, and leave here as soon as you have regained your energy. The undead creatures failed to occupy the oak tree this time.
The town will definitely not give up, we cannot stay here for long."
Mike was convinced by Roger's words and immediately took some of his companions who had just participated in the battle to rest. Roger also quickly checked into a hotel in the town under the arrangement of Markas. When he lay on the soft bed
When I got to bed, I realized that I was really exhausted after the fierce battle just now, and now I didn't even want to move a finger.
Lisa stayed by the bed and gently beat Roger's back, hoping to relieve his fatigue. Under the girl's gentle care, Roger soon fell into a deep sleep.
While Roger was resting, Marcus was walking from his residence to the hotel across the street with a gloomy face. He had seen the attitude of the townspeople towards Roger just now, and the narrow-minded fat man felt a huge threat.
, for fear that Roger would continue to stay in the town and pose a threat to his status.
"Lord Marcus, are you worried about that guy named Roger?" A person asked in a low voice behind the fat man, and it turned out to be Ivan, who had a conflict with Roger and others before.
Marcus did not answer Ivan's words, but sighed softly: "I'm afraid this Oak Town will no longer belong to us soon!"
"Sir, I have a way to let you take back the initiative." Ivan first smiled sinisterly at Marcus, then stepped forward and whispered a few words in the fat man's ear.
Ivan's words made Marcus nod frequently, but after thinking about it for a while, the fat man still asked worriedly: "It's not difficult to incite those stupid guys, but what if Roger wants to fight with us?"
"Don't worry, sir. He only has four soldiers now. With so many of us, can't we defeat four?"
"Well, you're right." At this point, Marcus was completely relieved and said, "Go and do this. After it's done, the girl next to Roger will be yours!"
"Thank you, sir!" Ivan quickly thanked Marcus, and then left to implement his plan. In the dilapidated Oak Town, a conspiracy against Roger quietly began to brew.
