Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

——Tsk, there are so many people!

In the Magic Academy, Rhea Lukalia, in front of the sealed main gate, a large group of Cuckoo Knights were guarding a small town on a high platform:

Groups of soldiers, holding torches, took turns patrolling around the towers at the edge of the town;

There were wooden barriers placed in front and behind the main road, among which were soldiers in civilian clothes holding fire-throwing cannons, and in the central square of the town, there was a fire chariot with a big green head and a knife-like beard, circling around the fountain;

I don’t know if it was Dujuan’s doing, but the bridge leading to the academy from the south bank of Lienia was blown up;

Although I can't see the condition of the only remaining high slope entrance to the town, I can imagine that it is also heavily guarded, and may be three to four times as many as in the game;

In addition, people were coming in and out of the houses in the town from time to time, and there were probably many Cuckoo Knights resting inside.

If one of them is disturbed, they will definitely swarm over, and then everyone will spit at me... Oh, no, it should be that everyone will throw a piece of rhodonite at me, and it will hit me to death.

——Or, let Meimei take me away directly.

But the problem is that if we teleport now, we can only return to the lakeside where Lienia and Stonewell meet.

If it's foggy again, or the Ghost Knight runs back to the ruins, won't we have to challenge the ghost group all over again?

The visibility in the foggy day of the real ring is too low. I should have passed by the map stone tablet perfectly, but I didn't find it. I sacrificed a branch this time, but if I'm unlucky next time, I might be finished.

——Ah, my stomach hurts a little and I feel unbearable.

Go to the cliff next to the lake and jump off, then go back after reaching the east bank?

This journey was long, and maybe that Mad Fire Us had already taken Haida to the purified ruins on the east coast. In this case, wouldn't it be a step behind him?

No, it seems the best way is to just slip out of here.

——Ah, someone is coming!

I quickly took out the mimicry veil, covered my face with it, and transformed into the appearance of a sapling.

I saw three Cuckoo Knights patrolling leisurely in front of me, chatting: "Hey, have you heard? Stonewell in Nimgefu, it seems that someone has knocked down that Greg."

"After this, there should be quite a few faded ones appearing in Lienia. I hope they can behave themselves."

"... I remember there was news that Gaileyd was going to hold a memorial service. The Faded Ones should all be heading there."

"Those two bastards, Fate and Raymond, went somewhere again and haven't been seen for most of the day."

······

——Ah~, this is all completely useless information.

I moved carefully and followed the patrolling soldiers.

They were patrolling along the outermost path of the town. Outside was the dark water of the Lienia Lake. They waited until these guys went into the shadows behind the houses and then attacked them from behind and took care of them all!

--It's now!

"Oh, Knight Commander, hello!"

Just as I was about to take action, a team of cuckoo knights appeared from the corner in front. One of them was holding a large silver shield and wearing a relatively slender helmet with a bunch of cuckoo feathers on the top that looked like a rooster's tail.

"who?!"

——Oh my god, I ran into the alley so quickly, but I was still discovered?

——Hurry up and transform again, transform again.

In the blink of an eye, several footsteps stopped beside me. I leaned against a few wooden boxes and curled up at the foot of the wall. I carefully looked up at the torches swaying in front of me, and quickly retracted my feet.

——Don’t squeeze in. If you step on my feet, the magic of the mimicry veil might become ineffective!

"Knight Commander, what's wrong? No one is here."

"...Maybe I saw it wrong. However, something happened in Stonewell, and there will definitely be a lot of Faded Ones coming here, and among them there will be people who are against us Dujuan. Don't let go of any abnormalities!" After the Knight Commander gave the majestic instructions, the group of guys dispersed from the alley in twos and threes.

I breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and then I heard another loud rumbling sound in my ears.

Oh, it's the chariot of fire. It looks like a giant's head and is controlled by a soldier in a small cockpit embedded in the back of the head.

——In the game, this thing is extremely difficult to deal with.

There was no way to deal with it head-on, so the plan was to go around in circles, but you have to admit, these two-wheeled vehicles were spinning quite fast, and with the flames coming out and the many ivory-like spikes on their faces, it was a combination of long-range and short-range attack and defense, making it difficult to attack.

If you push them into a corner, they will turn their wheels, make a humming sound and run away for a long distance, then come back and hit you like a cow.

Therefore, the best way to deal with this kind of tank is to use the terrain to jump onto its head from above - there is a ventilation hole on the top of its head, and destroying it will cause the entire vehicle to explode.

"Hey, it's time to change shifts!"

Ok?

Suddenly, someone shouted in the square.

The flaming chariot stopped, and then the soldier in the back seat came out, exchanged words with his companion, and left.

——Oh, the soldiers of Chariot of Fire also need to change shifts.

This suddenly gave me a good idea, and I quickly changed into the clothes of a cloth soldier in the corner of the alley.

However, the cloth soldiers of the Knights of the Azalea all wore bowl-shaped hats, and the round hat in my hand was exposed at a glance.

--Forehead······

I fell in love with the small wooden barrel in the corner of the alley and tried it on. Hey, it really works! At night, from a distance, it should be similar to those bowl-shaped hats.

While there was no one around, I quickly used a dagger to dig a hole in the small wooden barrel and put it on my head.

After quietly waiting for the Chariot of Fire to circle several times, he calculated that there was some time left, took a few deep breaths, and walked out of the alley carefully: "Hey, it's time to change shifts!"

There was only one fire chariot patrolling the central square. After all, it was very powerful and could hurt teammates if they were not careful. At the two exits of the square, the cuckoo soldiers did not seem to have spotted me.

——Thanks to the cover of night!

I walked quickly to the stopped chariot of fire, and the guy inside poked his head out with a puzzled look on his face: "So fast? I feel..."

"Hehe~"

"You, you, you're the Fader!"

"Have you had enough fun? It's my turn to play!" I grabbed the other person's shoulders, then threw the soldier directly off the Fiery Chariot, and quickly got in.

——Oh wow, in the game, I have been wanting to grab it and play it for a long time!

There are two cylinders in front of you. Looking inside, you can see the situation in front of the tank. It should be based on the principle of the submarine's eyepiece.

There is a pull rod for each hand and three pedals under the feet. Try the rightmost one first!

Boom boom boom——

The two blowers on the wheels immediately started roaring, and I was carried forward by the powerful force of the chariot.

It's going to hit the house! He quickly pulled the handle with his left hand, and heard the blower of the left wheel deflate, and the tank turned sharply to the left.

"Oh!" I couldn't help but exclaim.

"No, it's bad, some Faded Ones are trying to steal the chariot!" In the square, the soldier whose chariot I stole shouted loudly, attracting many Cuckoo soldiers.

"What's going on? The Faders suddenly appeared out of nowhere in our camp!"

"Stop talking, stop that bastard!"

"Waaaaaah, no, don't come over here!"

boom!

The Fiery Chariot failed to turn in time and ran over a tree at the edge of the square, scaring the Cuckoo soldiers in front and causing them to flee in all directions.

"The one on the far left is the brake, what about the one in the middle?" I stepped on it curiously.

After a pause, the scene in front of him was suddenly covered by a raging fire that splashed onto the outer wall of the house, causing unstoppable screams from inside, and the entire tank was pushed away by the powerful recoil of the flames.

My face must have been full of smiles: "Hahaha, interesting, I have completely mastered this tank!"

Outside, the cuckoos kept shouting, "Come quickly! Come quickly! Stop this chariot for me... If not, destroy it!"

"Ruined? How can that be? I haven't had enough fun yet!" I pulled the lever on my right hand and stepped on the accelerator.

The chariot suddenly turned and aimed at the Knight Commander Dujuan who was shouting, "Charge!"

When Knight Commander Dujuan saw that the situation was not good, he was so scared that he quickly retreated into the alley between the houses.

Like a mad elephant, I ran rampant in the square without restraint. This elephant could also continuously spit out flames, burning the surrounding cuckoos to a crisp.

"what--"

"Water! Water! Give me water!"

"Hahaha~ Look at my flame storm! Wu——" When I reached the center of the square, I pulled the lever on one side and at the same time stepped on the accelerator and the flamethrower valve with both feet. The chariot spun wildly, and the flames danced along with me.

The cuckoos had no way to do anything to me. Even if they threw cuckoo pyroxene at me, the magic balls were all blocked by the steel head of the chariot and could not hurt me at all.

“Hahaha! You guys had so much fun playing the game, today it’s finally my turn~” I don’t know how many times I spun around, but gradually, I was panting and had to stop, “Ha~ha~ I feel a little dizzy, let me take it easy.”

"Lord Ling, please don't be too complacent." At this time, Melina's voice reminded me in my ear.

——We have really made enough noise. We have attracted so many guys. If we get caught, we will be finished.

I glanced at the town's exit leading to the lake area. The cuckoo soldiers there were also all attracted to the square: "Then break out! Forward, forward, forward!"

Boom boom boom——

The blower roared again, I stepped on the accelerator and rushed straight to the exit.

How could the cuckoos dare to stop them? They were afraid that if they were a little slow, they wouldn't even have time to scream.

"Wow~ Goodbye, everyone...ah——" Oh my god, I forgot that this is a series of downhill sections, and I just rushed over at the maximum speed of the tank.

The whole car was so crazy that it was out of control and unstoppable. Even the wooden barriers broke at the slightest touch. It had completely turned into a falling roller coaster!

In the blink of an eye, I had slid to the bottom of the slope. I stepped on the brakes so hard that I felt like stars were coming out of the wheels, but I still couldn't stop.

A large piece of ruins appeared in front of me, and by the time I reacted, it was too late to turn!

--Jump!

I subconsciously flipped out of the cab, hit the cold water surface, and rolled several times.

Then, a loud explosion was heard in my ears.

I saw that the entire head of the flaming chariot was blown to pieces, and the wheels drew a meteor in the air, and then ran into the endless darkness.

——My newly acquired car!

"That bastard crashed his car!"

When I turned around, I saw angry cuckoos rushing down the long slope of the town.

Helplessly, I could only quickly summon Torret and head into the night.
