Act 7 The Plan
"So, where exactly are we?"
Grasping the initiative of the conversation without a trace, Sophie began to inquire about some information she wanted. He really found that he had changed a bit. In the past, he could only talk so eloquently in the game and easily grasp the rhythm of the conversation.
Maybe it's because this place is regarded as the world of the "Amber Sword".
The experience in the game is enough to make him naturally show a confident temperament when facing these young people as if the other party is really a child.
This confidence unconsciously affected other people, whether it was Freya or others, they gradually felt a little different. The center of the conversation shifted to Sophie, intentionally or unintentionally.
A few young people not far away also raised their heads and looked here—
"This is the red pine forest, don't move." The ponytail girl took a breath and tried to calm herself down.
Sophie raised her head in surprise - as expected of the future Valkyrie, she has learned to regulate her emotions so quickly, but in his opinion she is still a little immature.
"Red Pine Forest?"
"Wait, why are you here?" Sophie was taken aback again. He remembered that this place, called 'Dwarf Valley' in the game, was the habitat of the fourteenth-level brown bear. But here is south of Bucci, and there is no reason for Bucci's militia to appear in this direction.
"We're here to find you."
"I'm looking for Miss Roman, she's the eldest sister's friend."
"And Roman is a member of the third detachment." Everyone was chatting.
"Have you repelled Madara's advance troops?" Sophie looked at Freya, and this was the question he was most concerned about.
"How is that possible!" The girl looked at him puzzled, with an expression that seemed to say how could you ask such a stupid question: "The adults of the guard team covered the village to evacuate from the north, and we are separated from everyone. And there are more and more monsters on the road, we can only go south, and I'm also worried about Roman..."
"So you came here?" Sophie felt her heart sinking.
The girl nodded as a matter of course, and her long ponytail went up and down.
Freya immediately felt a little strange - this young man is not Captain Madden, why does she always feel as if she is shorter in front of the other party!
And Sophie couldn't help but patted her forehead. She really didn't know whether to say that these young people were naive or ignorant, and they still wanted to save others when they could not protect themselves.
No, perhaps it should be said to be kind-hearted.
But there is no need for unnecessary kindness on the battlefield, it will only harm yourself.
Sophie fell silent, but she couldn't help but vomit blood in her heart. He set fire to his grandfather's mansion in order to warn the village, but he didn't expect history to proceed on its original trajectory - no, repeating the same mistakes.
There are even these stunned guys, Martha-sama, what kind of joke are you making?
He sighed in his heart, what he can change is still too little, the inertia of history cannot be stopped by a little force. Indeed, he had to get stronger, but he had to survive before that.
"Captain Madden, Captain Madden, it seems that I can't save you either."
How did Bromantra's Black Rose Madara arrive before the May Day celebration? Such an obvious premeditated plan must be a demon on its own, isn't it?
Sophie's hopes were all in vain, which made him feel a little empty. He worked so hard before, but in the end he found that the history had not changed at all. Such a blow is really depressing.
But after all, it is only the power of an ordinary person, and he has tried his best.
"Brando!"
He was upset, but a surprised voice sounded in his ear,
Happy like a lark. Sophie turned her head, just in time to see a businesswoman with an unbelievable surprise appearing on the side of the forest, and a girl wearing a gray and white leather armor following her—it must be this girl who went to tip off the news.
Roman came to him like a gust of wind, staring at him cautiously, as if for fear that he would suddenly disappear.
"I knew, Brando, you must be fine." She said happily with a sigh of relief.
"By the way, Brando. Freya won't let me go back to Butch, I..." Then the merchant lady explained eagerly, as if she was afraid that he would be angry.
Only then did Sophie notice that there were still two sparkling tears on the other's face, and she couldn't help but soften her heart.
"It's okay, I'm fine." He replied softly.
"real?"
"Really." Sophie nodded.
"Roman, don't move him, Mr. Brando is seriously injured." Freya couldn't help frowning. Did these two know how serious the injury was? They almost died, didn't they? ?
"It's okay." Having said that, Roman stuck his tongue out and stood back.
Sophie smiled, the merchant lady is such a petty person. Looking at the two beautiful girls standing side by side, the young man couldn't help being a little delighted for a while.
He suddenly discovered that it was not that there was no change, was that the change was from another aspect. The world has changed since he came into this world.
If it wasn't for his crossing, perhaps the merchant lady and Brando would have encountered an accident together. Madara's gang of robbers did not have the spirit of pity for Xiangxiangxiyu.
He looked at the others, and these young people with Freya, how many of them could finally survive in that war?
Sophie remembered clearly that there were not even one out of ten militiamen and guards on the front line during the war.
But now that he is here, perhaps history should have all gone wrong. What he doesn't know is that at least the people around him should be preserved. These young people are the seeds of the future of this kingdom...
Sophie will never allow history to repeat itself.
"Okay, back to the point. Do you know how serious the situation is now?" Then the young man let out a sigh of relief, trying to make himself less uncomfortable. To be honest, what he needs most now is rest, but the current situation obviously does not allow it.
He looked at the others, and Freya and these young militiamen were stunned.
Only Roman blinked playfully.
"Huh?" The ponytail girl asked in confusion.
Sophie coughed weakly and asked, "I mean what are you going to do next? If I guessed correctly, Madara's undead must have controlled the avenue, right?"
Quiet all around-
"How, how do you know?" Freya was slightly startled and looked at him in surprise.
Of course I know, not only do I know, but I have experienced it myself, Sophie replied in her heart. However, the surprised eyes around him still made him a little proud.
Prophets are good.
But small triumphs could not hide his worries: Madara had acted swiftly and well in the April offensive, and he had to create a more comprehensive plan to protect himself.
And these young people.
The enemy that Buqi was facing at the moment was the flank of the Madara army, and the commander who led that army was the famous 'Black Lord' Instaron in the future, although that guy was still a hairy boy in his early twenties. , but it was from the beginning of this war that the future general star gradually began to emerge.
And what does he have? At this moment in history, he is nothing but an unknown person.
But Sophie knew that the only advantage she had at the moment was foresight, and it was true that such an advantage could save his life in the next series of encounters - but only when she took the chance.
He only has two chances.
The first is to pass through the relatively safe Jianshi River Valley. He remembered clearly that it would not be until the 17th day that Instaron's deputy 'One-Eyed' Tagus would control this area.
But the distance was too far, and he was worried that he would not be able to break out of the encirclement before the other party completed the encirclement. Unless there are horses, where is he going to find horses for ten people now?
Therefore, there was only one way left, and that was to break through the Dagger Beach area before the two squadrons led by 'Ghoul' Vessa and 'White Knight' Ebdon were encircled.
Until late April, there was only a corpse of skeletons led by a corpse witch.
He couldn't help but touched the cold ring on his index finger. As long as there was a ring behind the wind, wouldn't it be easy to break through the line of defense consisting of eleven skeleton soldiers and a corpse witch?
But before that, he had to get everyone in this militia squad to follow his orders. That's why he's been so strong right from the start.
Sophie took another look at everyone.
"This is a natural guess, as long as you have a little military common sense, you will come to this conclusion. The blockade of the road is to cut off the connection and clear the way for your own army. The next step is to clear the area of Eruin with Buch as the center. Residual strength," he said as seriously as possible based on his own experience. Then he paused and focused his tone: "It's us."
Silence, only the sound of others breathing lightly was left around.
"So, what are you going to do now?" Sophie asked weakly.
Everyone looked at each other.
There are more than a dozen skeleton soldiers guarding the road leading to Buqi, so they can't kill them, right? Although he has a kind of self-confidence peculiar to young people who thinks that this enemy is nothing, he is still a little apprehensive when he really wants to fight for life and death.
Freya looked worried, she didn't think so much when she made her decision. It is said to be a militia, but after all, it is just a group of young people with little experience.
Although the ponytail girl didn't speak, she had already written on her face when she was at a loss.
The eyes of others have already fallen on Sophie. Sophie's experience makes him appear calmer than everyone else here. This impression is often subtle, and it makes people feel more reliable in critical moments.
"Brando?" Roman also asked.
Sophie turned her head and signaled her peace of mind with a small smile.
"We're going to prepare for the worst." Then he looked back at these people, intending to dispel their naivety.
It's not the first time he's done this. In the guild, those who are new to the battlefield for the first time always have an optimistic attitude, and once they are hit, they will fall into a state of uncertainty, so they will quickly collapse in front of an experienced team.
In fact, the gap between players and players is often not as big as imagined, the key is the mentality.
And these old players are responsible for vaccinating these newcomers in advance.
"worst plans?"
Sophie was about to speak when suddenly a sparse voice came from the jungle. Everyone looked in that direction at the same time, only Freya frowned and asked, "Johnson?"
"It's me, Captain Freya."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But Sophie quietly waved to the ponytail girl, signaling her to be more vigilant. Freya was slightly startled when she saw his gesture, but she reacted immediately—Eruin's militia training did not allow anyone to leave the post without permission.
And Sophie absolutely trusted the military literacy of the Eluin militia. Although these young people were naive, it didn't mean that they could forget the basic rules that they could practice day by day.
There is no room for negligence on the battlefield—
"What happened, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Qiao Sen?" Freya asked, placing her hand on the hilt of the sword.
"Yes, I'm sorry, eldest sister, I, I was caught..."
Ou Shi Nan separated to both sides with a 'clatter', and two people came out from behind. The first one was a pale, mourning young man with his hands raised high.
A corpse witch followed closely behind, pointing its fingertips to the back of the young man's head, while looking at the others present with the green fireballs flashing in its eye sockets.
"Giggle, caught a bunch of little mice."
Everyone is suffocated.
"Johnson!"
"How could you—"
Then there was a sound of disbelief.

【Note】:
Unyielding, the first awakened talent is called the bloodline talent. It's not something every character has - or rather, the protagonist doesn't realize it.
There are two main abilities of unyielding:
One is stubborn, ignoring all physical blows for the duration, unless it is decapitated or the heart is damaged. And the will is raised to 10 power levels - this allows the creature to remain awake for five minutes after being mortally wounded, even if it stops breathing.
The second is self-healing, strengthening the body's self-recovery ability, but this ability only takes effect after the injury is stabilized.
The bloodline talent will gradually strengthen as the character strengthens, thereby showing more characteristics.
(PS. It seems that the wish of the third watch is about to be shattered. In addition, I found that many brothers did not read the notice, because I found that the effect of the update at noon was not good, so the normal update in the future will be chapter 1 at 12:00 am and 6:00 pm chapter.)
