Chapter 81 - Heading Towards Silent Highland (6000 Words) (2/2)
…It seeht’s dinner
The other Clerics fared no better than Marlene Fortunately, they were blessed with healing spells However, they still appeared to be haggard as they lay on the ground, exhausted If anyone saw their plight right now, they would’ve thought that they had encountered an undead attack
“Yawn…”
Only one person was totally unaffected by the ride
Anne
She yawned as she climbed down from the caravan and proceeded to stretch her stiff body After stretching, she looked strangely at the people eyeing her and found that all the girls were staring daggers at her
So unfair…
Then she turned towards Rhode and said, “Ah, leader, have we arrived? When should we start?”
“Three hours froirl who had hopped over to hietically, Rhode quickly pointed towards the base ca and take a rest After that, ill start our et your duty”
“Of course~ Rest assured leader When Anne is here, there will be no proble him, Anne hummed her way to base ca to eat by the cay to spare to the half-dead Marlene and gang, it was quite… a contrast
“I didn’t expect you to recruit her”
Sereck took two cups of hot water and sat beside Rhode At the same time, he handed one over
“It looks like you have so up your sleeves”
“You know Anne?”
Rhode took the cup Sereck offered to him and asked casually
“I have met her a few times before While her personality is indeed quite troublesooing appears to be, because when she gets serious, that girl can be really powerful”
“I think so too”
He hadn’t interact with Anne often, but looking at her performance from the recruitment test, he could clearly see that her ability was unique, and…
“Do you know about her past?”
With that petite body, Anne was able to pick up a shi+eld in one hand and throith ease Rhode couldn’t help but frown He thought that his Vitality and Strength stat was already considered fairly high, but to pick up a shi+eld that weighed dozens of kilogra here, Rhode had given Anne the Rock Heart shi+eld which he acquired from the Rock of Lament to add some additional impact to her attacks And that shi+eld certainly wasn’t so the ic shi+eld that she even rushed over and kissed him This made Rhode smile bitterly, but since her personality was like this, he could only leave it at that
“I can’t say for certain, but I do know that the Mark White roup found her on the mountain At that tiether with a wild beast That old fellow brought her out and fostered her It sure as hell wasn’t an easy thing… I recalled that she would bite anyone who touched her and that old felloas bitten numerous times by her ”
“Frankly, a lot of people told hi her But that old felloas stubborn and insisted on keeping her Eventually, he taught her how to talk, write and learn like a huht of her as his own daughter The child gradually grew to resemble more like a hu that happened to Mark White and leaving was a good thing This child’s strength is insanely strong, we’ve suspected that she was of a Barbarian descent, but…”
Then, Sereck smiled
“I have never seen such a slender Barbarian in my life before Even if she’s a dwarf, she’s a little too tall Furthermore, she’s also quite a beauty”
Sereck paused, and his expression suddenly turned serious
“Alright, enough of the chit-chat, let’s get back to the real topic I want to kno you will bring us into the Silent Plateau safely You said that you are very familiar with this place… I don’t knohether it is true or not, but I believe in you As your comrade, I want to know your plan”
“Of course, that’s not a problem”
Rhode raised his head and revealed an expression of unprecedented self-confidence
It wasn’t just a false front; he truly had the experience to back his confidence Back in the gaeon Many players even called it the ‘Holy Land of Guild Extermination,’ and anyone who stepped into the area would face death This hy everyone skipped this dungeon because according to eon was difficult, yet its rewards were miserable, no player would want to run it at all
As the King of First Kill in the gaeon and created a popular for the players called the ‘9+1 formation’
The ‘9+1 fore AoE attacks In the dungeon, Rhode would protect the Clerics who used their holy spells to suppress the undead
After that, the Silent Plateau that was once hailed as the ‘Holy Land of Guild Extermination’ became a place for Clerics to far class, it was difficult for theeons with other players or clearing Silent Plateau with the ‘9+1 foreon beca spot Whether they were aspiring to be PKers or PvE players, as long as they could complete Silent Plateau smoothly, they could be considered to have mastered their class in skill and experience
As the guild leader, Rhode would often bring his Clerics to level up and practice in the dungeon As for hih this place with his eyes closed
There was another ht soe, the BOSS somehow didn’t appear This left hieon to reset After this incident spread, a lot of players said that the BOSS had been killed by Rhode far too many tih Silent Plateau was feared byto be afraid of
This tiht five Clerics which clearly wasn’t sufficient for the ‘9+1 formation’, but he wasn’t worried at all After all, he was the one who developed this formation, so he knows the ins-and-outs of it at the back of his hand Furthermore, the Mercenary association wouldn’t provide hiht or nine Clerics, so four was adequate Lize had an angel bloodline and could fill two slots in the formation and Marlene had AoE spells, so that was not a problem
Lastly, Sereck also participated in this h to fill the reap
Thus, Rhode was extremely confident
“For this e”
“Clerics?”
Sereck couldn’t help but feel slightly surprised
“Although I have anticipated this… but lad, you have to understand that a Cleric isn’t a Soul Knight They do not possess offensive spells, and furthermore, these people have no combat experience Do you really want to push them to face the undead?”
Rhode shook his head
“There’s no need for them to enter the frontlines It’s better for them to attack from the rear”
“So I hope Mr Sereck can join them in the rear and protect them Our pressure will surely lessen if you’re there However, I’htly worried as you’ve said that they had never been in a battle before”
“Our pressure will lessen?”
Sereck was confused He visited the Silent Plateau before and understood that the undead would endlessly rush them in waves Even he, as a Master Swords the undead horde So how can this young man say that their pressure will lessen if he went to the rear?
Perhaps he’s not afraid of the undead?</e? Or does he really have a way?</eht, Old Walker’s silhouette appeared frorim expression
“I have found the tracks they left behind”
He walked to Rhode and said in low voice
