Elden Ring: Atai vows to have a perfect ending

After much hardship, they finally defeated the Night Riders who were patrolling the land of Nimgefu.

Rune 2400, obtained.

Battle Gray - combo, obtain.

I had just taken a breath when several soldiers guarding the bridge at the other end of the short bridge heard the noise and ran over shouting.

Oh, it never ends.

"Torret!" I quickly summoned my spirit horse, galloped away, and left my opponent behind.

Soon, a ruin appeared in front of me. I took a detour from the outside and stopped at the checkpoint leading to the "Storm City" Stonewell.

Take a break at the nearby campfire.

I took out the telescope I bought from Kale and looked carefully inside the checkpoint.

Hmm——the number of soldiers guarding the level is just as much as in the game.

Not to mention the giant mountain monster standing on the bridge built by a huge piece of ruins at the top of the valley.

There were several heads gathered around the three campfires visible to the naked eye, about three or four at each place, or even more. After all, the wooden roadblocks blocked the entire gorge in the level, and I could only vaguely see the swaying shadows through the gaps in the light.

——With this number of soldiers, it’s not possible to just force your way in like in the game.

Even if everyone shoots an arrow at me, it would turn me into a hornet's nest. What should I do?

Come to think of it, I could actually go around the hillside behind the Third Church of Marika and head to Stonewell.

However, this place is too far away from there.

Even if I asked Melina to help me teleport, it would still take a lot of time.

——That’s right, the transmission between blessing points is not instantaneous. In terms of speed, it is about four to five times that of Torret, which is about the difference between a motorcycle and a high-speed train.

Besides, I remember that there were ferocious wolves on that hillside, and mountain giants roaming around. Along the way to Stonewell, there were also various bandits, dead-borns, and you might even run into a wild boss.

Not to mention, the difficulty may not necessarily be worse than just clearing the levels.

So, as expected, do we still have to start from here? At least we have to get through and open a blessing point so that we can enter and exit the level later.

I sat next to Ci Fu, rubbing my chin and frowning, thinking carefully about how to pass the level.

My eyes accidentally fell on the ruins in front of me. As I was walking on the main road, I saw a flickering firelight.

I remember that guy had a horn that could sound the alarm and summon his companions, right?

Got it!

I came up with an idea and hid in the shadows, tiptoeing towards the ruins in front of the checkpoint and hiding beside a black coffin car parked outside. I waited for the soldiers patrolling on the main road to turn around, then quietly got behind the large shield soldier stationed in front of the black coffin car.

"Good night, go to sleep!" He twisted the other's neck hard, just like what was shown on TV, and the large shield soldier's body suddenly tilted.

I quietly dragged him to the other side of the black coffin cart, stripped him naked, leaving only his loincloth to avoid inappropriate clothing for children, and put on the uniform of a Greg soldier, took a large shield and a spear, and stood in front of the cart pretending to be on guard.

Here comes~

The patrol soldier with the horn on his waist walked towards me step by step.

I was afraid that he would see through me, so I carefully used the shield to slightly cover my face.

But apparently, he didn't suspect anything, and walked past me while yawning leisurely, holding a torch. He paused, looked outside for a moment, and after finding nothing unusual, he turned around and walked back.

Great opportunity, now!

I stood on tiptoe and followed his back carefully, one step, two steps, one step, two steps. Soon, I caught up with him and the horn was right in front of me.

"Hey, aren't you guarding the black coffin car? Why are you following the patrol?" Suddenly, the voice of another Greg soldier was heard.

- Oops, I was so focused on reducing the sound of my own footsteps that I didn’t realize I had already entered the ruins.

The patrolling soldiers couldn't help but stop and turned their heads in confusion.

If you don't take it now, when will you?!

I grab it!

With a unique martial arts move, "Flying Dragon Exploring the Clouds", he directly took the horn away. At the same time, he threw the large shield in his hand to the side, blocking the approach of other soldiers, and then turned around and ran out of the ruins.

The Grek soldier immediately shouted: "There is no blessing in his eyes! This guy is a faded one!"

The patrol soldier reflexively reached for his waist, and it took him a while to react. He could only shout, "Hurry up! The Fader is stealing! Come and catch him!"

Oh, don't say it so harshly.

How can what Ah Tu did be called stealing? This is called borrowing - Liu Bei "borrowed" Jingzhou, Jackie Chan "borrowed" props.

I ran all the way to the checkpoint, then blew the horn hard into the gate.

woo-

Soon the wind made the horn sound throughout the canyon.

The mountain giant on top also roared in response, then jumped down from the top of the canyon: "Roar——"

The other soldiers guarding the checkpoint stood up in a hurry, each holding a long sword, or taking out a crossbow and aiming at the entrance of the checkpoint, but... naturally there was no one~

I quietly hid behind the corner, observed their confused expressions through a telescope, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

——Hehehe, very good, very good, this is exactly the effect we want.

"Bastard Fader, give me my horn back!"

Oh my, you are still chasing me.

"Torret!" I summoned the spirit horse and ran into the forest on the west side of the ruins, making the Greg soldiers so angry that they stomped their feet.

Looking at the golden horn in my hand, I felt the corners of my mouth couldn't help but curl up.

——Hehehe, your peaceful and stable days are over. Starting from tonight, let's get excited~

······

woo-

"Roar!"

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Is there an enemy attack?"

······

woo-

"······roar?"

"Again? Which bastard blew the horn?!"

"I just laid down and you woke me up, bastard!"

······

woo-

"..."

"Hey, did you hear? The sentinel in front of the ruins, he was the one who lost his horn."

"I'm really fed up. It's been a whole day and two nights. Can't you just let me have a good rest?"

——Hehehe, they’re anxious, anxious, these Grek soldiers guarding the checkpoint are anxious.

······

It was late one night again, and I was hiding in the bushes at the entrance of the checkpoint, blowing the horn and secretly observing their movements.

It's worth it that I have been blowing the horn day and night to disturb these guys and not giving them a moment's rest.

The first time, Greg's soldiers were still full of fighting spirit and ready for battle;

The second time, they began to doubt and be confused;

The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time... By now, they were too lazy to care about the horn I blew - the troll giant sat on the fragments of the ruins and fell asleep, too lazy to even turn over; the soldiers still did their own thing, and complained from time to time.

It was obvious that everyone had been tortured by me and was exhausted and distracted.

This is the famous "crying wolf" tactic.

I rang the bell carefully, summoning my wolf companions whom I hadn't seen for a long time.

"Go ahead and turn them upside down!" I patted the wolves' butts, and they understood what I meant and slipped through the bushes on the side of the level, and then started to stir up trouble.

"Ouch——"

"What's going on? There's a wolf!"

"Damn it, who let it in?"

There was chaos inside the checkpoint, but the giant troll at the top was unmoved. He probably thought it was just the usual commotion caused by the sound of the horn.

I adjusted my soldier's uniform and helmet, threw the horn into the wooden barrier, and ran in quickly: "It's a spy! There is a spy from the Faded One among us, and that guy is the one who blew the horn!"

"Spy? Who is it?"

"Huh? You, why is the horn at your feet? You are the spy!"

"No, it's not me. Haven't I been sitting around here for the past two days? Have you seen me blow the horn?"

"Then how do you explain the current situation?"

······

Have the fatigue, anxiety and confusion made these guys dizzy and unable to distinguish right from wrong?

I chuckled to myself, quickly climbed over the layers of wooden barriers, and slipped through the bustling crowd like a loach.

Jogging all the way, you will soon pass the checkpoint.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? "

Oh, I forgot, there is a small detachment of Grek soldiers behind the level, guarding the main road.

——But, can you two or three stop me?

"Torret!"

"Eh-"

Torrett responded and rushed out of the checkpoint at full speed.

The guard hurriedly took out his horn and blew it: "Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo"

It's useless, it's useless. The idiots in front of the level have been annoyed by the horn sound for a long time and will not pay any attention to you.

"Torret, jump!" I clamped Torret's waist with my legs, and Torret immediately understood. He jumped twice in the air, jumped over the soldiers' heads, and climbed over the fence they had blocked the road.

Amid the curses of the Greg soldiers and the cheers and applause from the people lining the streets, I walked away with a smile.
