Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

Walking along the road and passing through a mountain valley, a tragic scene was unfolding in the basin before us.

The axle of the black coffin cart was damaged and it lay horizontally in the middle of the basin, with wooden boxes, bags, and clothes scattered everywhere.

The giant mountain troll that was pulling the cart had disappeared, leaving only the corpses of the guarding soldiers scattered all over the ground.

The wild dogs were howling and actually gnawing on human flesh and bones.

Four or five hybrid monsters were holding machetes, chopping the bodies into pieces again and again, extinguishing the soldiers' last hope of resurrection.

Therefore, the entire valley was filled with an extremely strong smell of blood.

Even continuous rain could not wash it away.

"Don't worry about them, Torrett, let's charge!" I pulled the reins.

Torrett ran as fast as he could to the other end of the basin.

The hybrids didn't even have time to react, as Torrett had already leaped over their heads and took me into the misty rain in the dark night.

"Well done!" I couldn't help but praise.

And Torrett responded with an excited neigh: "Neigh--"

But not long after rushing out of the mountain basin, Torrett suddenly braked in a hurry.

Wait, this is in front of the collapsed outer wall of Moren City. If I remember correctly, there should be a night cavalry guarding the road at this location.

Although I can't see the opponent yet, Torret seems to have a natural keen sense of perception, so I should trust it.

I quickly dismounted and ordered Torrett to return to the spirit whistle ring first.

Then, he bent over and hunched over, moving closer to the left.

Although the area here is more open and easier to be found, there is a blessing point that provides A-ti with rest and recovery.

In addition, there is a wandering merchant making a fire under the shade of a tree at the bottom of the cliff on the left... Hey, look, there is indeed a fire over there!

I quickly quickened my pace and ran over, intending to blend in with the old businessman to hide from others.

After all, Kale once told me that although the wandering merchants were weak in the border area, they were not easy to mess with. If you made an enemy of one of them, the news would spread and almost all the wandering merchants would fight you every time they saw you.

So, generally speaking, no one would take the initiative to provoke them, and they are treated much better than A Tui.

I could already see the figures around the campfire. I raised my hand and took the initiative to greet them: "Hey, old merchant, do you have any good goods over there?"

Ok?

When the old businessman looked up and saw me, he quickly stood up.

Hahaha, don't be so polite.

Uh... something doesn't feel right. It seems like he is packing his luggage, then riding on his pony donkey and riding away along the mountain road!

Could it be that there is some evil ghost following me?

Phew——

I heard the loud neighing of horses, and when I turned around, I saw a huge shadow rising in the dark sky. The fierce oppressive feeling seemed like the Five Fingers Mountain of Buddha.

On horseback, a knight in black armor was wielding a black flail and meteor hammer, ready to smash down on the enemy's head.

Night Riders!

When did this guy find me!?

Without having time to think about this, I quickly rolled to the right and avoided the attack.

At the same time, he took the large leather shield and the King's Army straight sword from his back and prepared for battle.

calm down.

The monsters in the Weeping Peninsula are not difficult. In fact, this is the novice village that the initial level A-Ti should come to.

So don't be afraid.

——The attacks of the Night Cavalry have a bleeding effect, so you must maintain the frequency of being hit. At the same time, this guy is very strong and powerful. In the early stage, A-ti can only withstand one of his attacks. The second time will break his shield and make him paralyzed.

——In addition, the attack range of the flail weapon is quite strange.

——So, the best way to deal with this guy is not to escape, but to move forward bravely, and then attack the left side of the Night Cavalry where he cannot hold the weapon. If you seize the opportunity, you can even slash him five or six times at a time, leaving a little energy to roll and dodge!

In an instant, all the coping methods in the Ring of Fa game flooded into my mind.

Since you insist on causing trouble for me, I will reluctantly accept your challenge!

Speaking of which, you, you didn't go to the chaos in Moren City, but stayed here on patrol to find Ah Tai! Or did you, the Night Cavalry, think that the life and death of Moren City would not affect the entire border area at all, so you ignored it?

It's like picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

Just as I was complaining madly in my head, the Night Cavalry had already turned their horses around and charged towards me once again.

Lean to his left, lean to his left!

Following my experience in the game, I held up the big leather shield and mustered up the courage to charge forward.

But I didn't expect that this guy would squeeze his legs against his horse and charge straight towards me without stopping.

I subconsciously dodged to the side, but was still hit by the warhorse. All of a sudden, half of my body seemed to be pushed by an unstoppable force, and I lost my balance and fell to the ground.

Cough cough cough! It hurts!

Is it different from the game right from the start?

But now is not the time to lie on the ground and complain. The Night Cavalry once again pulled the warhorse and turned around.

I quickly stood up, dodged the charge of the warhorse, and swung my sword hard at the opponent's butt!

······It was a complete miss, that's the trouble! I kind of understand how Wolf felt when he was fighting Darriwell, he was too mobile.

In that case, start the second strategy!

As the Night Cavalry ran past me and before he turned his head, I took the initiative to charge towards his back.

A'tai's physical fitness is much higher than that of ordinary people in reality.

In this way, even if he failed to catch up, he would not be able to increase the speed of his warhorse to the maximum in a short distance, like now!

As I ran towards the warhorse, I reached into my pocket, pulled out the flame pot, and threw it hard at the horse's head.

boom!

Phew——

Although the warhorse is covered with black cloth and cannot see the raging flames, I believe the burning pain will still awaken your fear of fire!

It suddenly stopped and looked up in horror.

I also took this opportunity to flash to the left side of the Night Cavalry, swung my sword and chopped hard at the horse's belly and the opponent's legs and feet!

I cut! I cut! I cut!

The Night Rider quickly calmed his horse, then used the horse's weight to twist it towards me, pushing me away.

And the next second, the flail and meteor hammer fell on my head.

I quickly raised my large leather shield to block the attack and felt my entire arm begin to go numb.

This is another different action from the one in the game. The AI ​​in the game will obviously only make this guy stupidly move the flail to his left hand, and then swing it extremely awkwardly, giving the player space to roll and dodge.

How could he be as smart as he is now, twisting his upper body and attacking directly!

Seeing that I was forced away, the Night Cavalry quickly drove the horses away.

I also took the opportunity to take a few breaths and make some adjustments.

This time, the Night Cavalry did not rush to continue charging. Instead, after turning around, Lama stood there for a moment.

Are you thinking of a way to deal with me?

I won't give you time. I drank a blood bottle to restore my strength.

This time I will take the initiative to launch the attack!
