HAIL THE KING !
Chapters 37. Teacher, please don't fire me
"Hoo-"
【Skeleton Archer】 withers and all the white bones turn dark green. This is a special effect of poison damage from 【Storm Sabre】. Also, with the additional damage the sword inflicted on the undead, the poor 【Sketon Archer】 did not even have a chance to restore the damage, destroying the bone fragments.
Fei's sneak attack was working. He gave her his own taste of medicine. While Fei enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment, the crowd of 【Skeleton Archers】 further reacted.
"Bing, bing, bing-" All their bowstraps stretched and many arrows flew to Fei like rain falling in a storm.
"It's started!" Fei lifted 【Azure Spiked Shield】 - her, blocking the arrow while retreating quickly. He planned to disrupt the 【Skeleton Archer】 formation and kill them one by one.
However
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Blue ice arrows fly towards 【Sketone Archer】 behind Fei. He turned around and realized that Elena was not following his instructions to retreat, but rather was approaching 【Sketon Archer】 while returning fire.
"Damn!" Fei knew they were in trouble.
This was the first time Elena had not listened to Fei. It seemed that he did not know of the hidden dangers in Tristram. If he continued to counterattack, it would not kill all of Archer【's complicated 】Sketon. Instead, it would put Fei and himself in a dangerous situation. There were two mini bosses hidden in the crowd, and their arrows produced high damage and carried magic effects. One shot of an ice arrow was similar to Elena's arrow, which slowed down the movement and speed of the attack; another shot of a lightning arrow that cut through most of the health. Even for Barbarian Fei who had a lot of health, she did not dare to fight them head-on. He plans to downing the 【Health Banquet】 as he fights them in a guerrilla style. If luck was not on his side, he could potentially disturb monsters and demons in other areas of Tristram. | If Griswald's last boss is distracted, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Back! Hurry along! ”Fei yells at Elena, hinting her to back off.
However, it's a bit late. 【Skeleton Archers】 pay attention to mercenaries. 'The terrifying 'rain of arrows' covered Elena as well.
Elena did not have anything near the armor Fei had, nor did she have a shield. Although he tried to dodge the arrow, several arrows pierced his body. Blood started to flow out from his wounds and quickly stained his blue leather armor.
“Tuan .... The search is more important, don't worry about me. You can go from the side and save Master. The fabric! Please go!"
The arrow still pierced through his body. He was sweating a lot due to the unbearable pain. His face was pale, but his expression showed determination. She shook her head and bit her beautiful long red hair to endure the pain. However, his hand movements did not slow down due to the injury, and he returned the damage consistently despite the increased number of injuries on his body.
Her armor was wet with her blood, but Elena was like a War Goddess who was unwilling to retreat. There was no fear on his face, but rather hatred in his eyes. Step by step, Elena is getting closer to the crowd of 【Sketon Archers】.
But at this time –
"Cracks!"
One of the mini bosses 【Bone Warrior Archer】 reacted. The life-threatening illumination arrow struck Elena accurately. The mercenary body trembled. He almost fell to the ground. Since he was now standing at the same spot, his health bar was going down very crazily under the rain of arrows.
"Dirt!"
Fei worried. He ignored the arrow that flew towards him and ran towards Elena and hugged her. He then poured a bottle of 【Minor Healing Potion】 down his throat as he used his battle cry – 【Howl】 to scare away the monsters approaching them. Then, he quickly used 【Kota】 Portal Gate. When the monsters started flooding them, he quickly jumped into the blue oval portal with Elena.
"Buzz, buzz"
They were lucky to escape death and return to 【Rogue Encampment】.
It was a very scary situation. Fei did not know whether he could come back to life or not and whether he would die in the real world as well if he died in Diablo World.
"Buddy, I can't act like a hero all the time!"
Fei smelled a light scent from Elena's body, but he didn't have time to enjoy it at all. He took a bottle of 【Small Healing Banquet】 and drank it himself. He threw one towards Elena, and then pulled an arrow from her back. Blood spurted out again, so he had to drink one more bottle to fight the pain.
Fortunately, 【Small Healing Banquet】 is sweet and has no side effects.
"Holy, this fucking pain .. Hey, pretty, why don't you listen? I told you from the beginning to back off, didn't I? "
Fei's health was full again. Fei had to blame the hot mercenaries; if he listened, they would not be in this situation.
Elena looked down and tears filled her eyes. He didn't reply. He also did not drink 【Small Healing Banquet】. He held it in his hand because he did not want to drink such a precious potion. The wounds on his body had yet to fully recover and he was on the verge of crying. Fei's heart softened upon seeing that, so he didn't blame her anymore.
“It's okay, drink the potion ..... Oh, right. You don't have to follow me back to Tristram later. I won't be able to take care of you there. When I finish the search, I'll come back and find you. ”
After some thought, Fei decided to leave Elena in the camp and finish the quest alone. If the two of them left, Fei would really not be able to take care of her. An archer would be ineffective when dealing with a group of archers. If 【Sketon Archer】 continued to harass them, they would not be able to cooperate well and the hot mercenaries could be surrounded by monsters and torn apart.
However, Elena misunderstood Fei's meaning.
"Ah? Nah! Please don't fire me, sir ..... Next time ..... Next time, I can take care of myself ............. I can protect myself ....... I ......... ”..
Elena's panic shocked Fei. This was probably the first time he had spoken so much to Fei.
Since time immemorial, Tristram has fallen, so the road to the east is blocked by all monsters. The campers could only obtain items and potions from travelers like Fei to maintain the existence of the camp on the moor. The items and potions made by the Charsi blacksmith and Akara leader were not enough to support the entire camp.
The accumulation of resources throughout the camp's history has been exhausted in the last 60 years when all travelers disappeared. If this continued, the camp would be conquered by monsters and demons and fall within a year.
Fei's appearance at 【Rogue Encampment】 was an opportunity for the camp to survive. He was the first traveler to set foot in the camp after 60 years. These travelers can get items and potions from the moor that would never have been obtained by the rogues. This was the reason why Kaysha was willing to give mercenaries to Fei, the stranger in the camp, despite knowing that many of the bandits were used and humiliated by the travelers.
This is all for the survival of the camp and its inhabitants. Someone has to sacrifice. Elena was not the most powerful of all women, but she was definitely the most beautiful and hottest. In order to maintain cooperation with Fei, any kind of sacrifice must be made – including the life and body of the woman.
If Elena unfortunately died on the moor or during the adventure, another woman would replace her to keep the relationship between Fei and the camp.
This is the cruelty of Diablo World – brutal 'Law of the Jungle.
That's how that little campground has survived throughout history, and how residents have lived.
Without a doubt, Fei was the only hope and light in 【Rogue Encampment】 that approached eternal darkness. No matter how many sacrifices they had to make, the camp leaders were willing to make them.
Of course, Fei didn't know about this. This was why the usually calm and reserved Elena was so anxious when she thought Fei fired her.
If he offended a traveler, it would bring immeasurable losses to the campground. In addition, Fei cared deeply for him for the past two hours, which was thousands of times better than working for the despicable travelers he had heard in fairy tales. Elena was also used to fighting with Fei. He appreciated the opportunity to become a Fei mercenary.
