Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Whoosh whoosh—

boom!

Boom boom boom——

——Yare’s mother is crying! Torret, run!

Countless rocks fell from the sky, bombarding me like crazy. I jumped up and down frantically in my Toret, and I could hear the cry of some ocean disaster: "Take a bath in the shells!"

——Damn it, I'm just one person! There's no need to use such a war-like move to target me!

whoosh-

Several huge rocks flew towards us one after another.

A little further away, from the direction of the gate on the outer wall of King Rodel's City, a cavalry unit had gathered and was about to charge towards me.

"A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him. Torrett, let's retreat!" I had no choice but to turn my horse around and run back in shame.

Alas, the garrison camp in reality is like this. The guys guarding the camp only need to arrange three to five times more troops than in the game, but for us Faded Ones who are breaking through the level, there are a lot more things to consider.

Every time we bump into them, it feels harder than challenging a boss, and we can't be as invincible as in the game. After all, in reality, this is a regular army, and a single move will affect the entire body.

Just now, I ran into a group of royal city soldiers walking out of the camp on the road.

As expected, when these guys saw that I was a fader, they rushed forward with a lot of noise.

Originally, I was not afraid at all, but everything changed when one of the soldiers blew the horn.

Six or seven catapults were launched almost simultaneously. It was like watching a meteor shower with you, falling on Ah Tui's head.

"I sang for you." In the Windmill Village, Pollyanna kicked me on the butt. "You haven't accomplished anything yet, and you have the nerve to come back! Aren't you just wasting our time?! You bastard Zero."

"Quack! Then you go and try it. Even with Torrett, I was almost smashed into a pig's head. Without Torrett, I would have become a meat patty!" Although I am indeed not right, I cannot lose in momentum!

As a result, he was kicked by Pollyanna again.

Millicent touched Torret's head, turned around and asked kindly, "Zero, do you need... Pollyanna to help you? I'm alone here, and I should be able to remove those enchanted flowers."

"Huh?!" Pollyanna's voice was almost raised to the sky.

I quickly refused: "No, thanks."

"Huh?!" This girl came up to me with dissatisfaction, pointed at my nose, and said angrily, "You think I want to help you? It's no use begging me now!"

“······I didn’t intend to beg you.”

"you!"

——Why are you still angry?

I had no choice but to go around Torrett and hide next to Millicent.

Millicent also helped to comfort Pollyanna and said to me with a smile: "Pollyanna is just a little worried about you, Zero..."

"I'm not worried about him, Millicent, don't guess what I'm thinking!" Pollyanna protested.

But Millicent seemed to have found her weak spot. As if she was dealing with a cat, she stroked the smooth fur on her back and continued to say to me, "It's a pity that with my current strength, I can't do much for you..."

"It's okay. Actually, I came back just to remind you of one thing." I paused. "The team I met seemed to be sent by Rodel to investigate the Windmill Village. You two stay here and be careful."

After all, the fire that burned down the village burned for an entire night, and it was not until a heavy rain fell in the middle of the night that it was put out.

Windmill Village is also close to the back door of the royal city of Rodel. The First Defense of Rodel once broke out nearby, and the coalition forces invaded the royal city from this road. Therefore, it was inevitable that it would attract attention.

Millicent nodded. "We'll keep an eye on it."

“······As for the issue of entering the royal city, I will find a way to resolve it within these two days. It will not take up too much time.” I clasped my hands together and made a pleading gesture.

However, Pollyanna did not get angry, but looked behind me.

"What's wrong?" I also turned my head curiously.

Pollyanna shook her head impatiently and said, "Nothing, I probably made a mistake... But you, if you can't get in again, just come back and lead the way for us first, and then we can think of a solution together, got it?!"

"I understand!" I took Torrett's reins from Millicent. "Then I'm leaving."

After bidding farewell to the Ionian sisters once again, Torrett and I continued to run slowly towards the royal city of Rodel.

Although I made a big promise, to be honest, I really have no idea at the moment.

Not to mention the catapult bombardment and groups of Rodel soldiers in the front, after all, if I remember correctly, there is a narrow path on the right side of the back door that can lead to the heart of the camp. By then, I will be confident that I can deal with ordinary soldiers, and Torrett is here too.

But the most fatal thing was that the back door of Rodel's outer wall was actually closed!

That's right, in the game, this door that was open like a public toilet is now equipped with a ground-down iron gate. Even if I break through the entire camp, if there is no mechanism nearby that can lift the door, I still cannot enter the royal city of Rodel!

But if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. How could it be possible that the gate that had been breached by the coalition forces of the La brothers was not repaired when the enemy retreated or was even pushed back?

In the game, in order to allow the protagonist A'ti to enter the royal city and advance the plot and gameplay, even the main gate that should have been closed has a gap left, as if quietly welcoming the arrival of the protagonist A'ti.

But in reality, Mr. Mungert will naturally try every possible means to completely block the Faded Ones from entering Rodel. How could he possibly let us come and go freely?

what--

I couldn't help but sigh and my head hurt.

Although this world has the concept of magic, rune cannot be equated with chakra after all, and I cannot let it adhere to the soles of my feet and run up the wall directly. Moreover, even if I have mastered the top-level light skill - Wudang Tiyunzong, I cannot climb up a wall that is 50 meters high.

I really hope that by biting my finger, I can send down a red thunder and conjure up a giant to kick the broken door.

——That day, the soldiers of the Royal City of Rodel finally recalled the horror of being breached by a giant creature, and the humiliation of being shrouded by the wings of the sky until today.

——······Red Thunder?! Gran Sanx!

An idea suddenly occurred to me and I looked around.

······Is it an illusion? I felt like someone was watching me just now. There shouldn't be any Rodel soldiers nearby, waiting to ambush me, right?

I quickly pulled Torret's reins and dived into the narrow path on the right.

As we went forward, we saw traces of war everywhere. Many of Rodel's slaves were digging something next to a broken catapult, and there were also scattered ruins of buildings on the roadside.

Ah, do you see that soldier squatting in the corner of the ruins?

Yes, if you beat him up, he will drop the most useful treasure in the Elden Ring, which was also the most important prop for Queen Marika to resist the Supreme Will... Okay, okay, no more jokes, that is actually the larva of the Mimic Teardrop. If you touch it, it will turn into an evil lion and beat you up.

The other party seemed to sense something and suddenly raised his head and looked towards me.

——No way, do you have the ability to read minds? I just said it in my mind for a while.

I quickly clamped the Torrett and continued to run quickly along the trail into the depths.

boom!

Boom boom boom——

There was a flash of lightning and thunder, falling on the golden sea of ​​flowers. Nearby, the golden lamb unique to the city of Rodel was leisurely eating grass. It raised its head, saw me running all the way, and then turned into a rolling ball and ran away.

On the top of this hill, the ancient dragon Lance Sanx sat cross-legged on the ground with his hands and feet in his tucked-in arms. His red-gold eyes looked down at me majestically: "So, son of the man named Zero, is this the reason you come here to bother me?!"

"That's right, ancient dragon Lance Sanx, please do me a small favor and take me to the royal city of Rodel. It doesn't have to be too far, just climb over that wall..."

“Ouch——” Before I could finish my words, Lance Sanx suddenly roared, and the wind and cloud he stirred up almost blew me away, “How daring! How absurd! I am the ancient dragon Lance Sanx! How can I let a weak human like you ride on my body at will!”

Eh--

As Lance Shanks shouted angrily, dark clouds gathered in the sky and red thunder rolled. Could it be that they were about to enter a battle with the boss of this ancient dragon?
