After get off work, I started speedrunning through the other world

"Akhtar, how do you plan to arrange the mercenaries?" Aslaqi asked looking at Ximu who was sitting under the tree, sorting out different toxin bottles.

Although she had paid for the mercenaries, she could not reasonably dispatch the mercenaries without understanding Akhtar's overall plan.

In response, Ximu looked at Leticia and Geed next to him and said, "They will be responsible for the arrangements, don't worry."

"I'm just in charge of mercenaries, I have no problem." Leticia nodded seriously, her emerald green eyes revealing her seriousness. As the eldest princess of the Iris Kingdom, she had actually commanded an army in battle and achieved an astonishing victory.

Therefore, there is no psychological pressure on commanding a small-scale army. Rather, I feel...relaxation and joy.

Naturally, he was relaxed because it was not difficult to command a small group of mercenaries, and he was happy that he could finally come in handy and help Akhtar.

"Originally, the nature of my job is no different from that of a mercenary." Geed was even more cheerful and had no objection to his participation in managing mercenaries.

And she only assisted Leticia in commanding the mercenaries.

"Boss, just leave it to us."

Ximu nodded: "Yeah."

He has faith in the abilities of Leticia and Geed. Although these two game characters... can't be counted on in terms of combat effectiveness, they have many unexpected uses.

For example, it is now responsible for hosting the army.

"Then Sir Akhtar, could you please tell me about your specific battle plan?" Leticia looked serious and planned to discuss the battle plan with Ximu.

Next to her, Aslaqi put one hand on her hip and looked at Leticia, whose temperament had become awe-inspiring and serious. She suddenly understood why Akhtar cared so much about this little country princess.

Not only does he have a good-looking face, but his abilities and personality are also outstanding.

"Don't worry, wait for me to poison you." Shaking his head, Ximu wrapped the selected poison bottle in cloth.

"Just wait for me here." He said and sneaked into the forest without waiting for an answer. Although Leticia and Geed were worried, they did not blindly pursue him to avoid causing trouble to Ximu.

After all, they are all people who have experienced the test of life and death, and can make decisions calmly. It is impossible for them to be swayed by emotions at this time and do harm to others and themselves.

"I like the look in your eyes very much." Aslaqi said suddenly. She noticed the worry in Leticia's eyes, but she could also detect the calm restraint.

This little princess in a remote countryside is not a vase.

"Really?" Leticia looked slightly surprised, then smiled softly, "Your eyes are also very... charming."

Her heartfelt praise.

"The burning will in your eyes is like the brightest ruby, without any confusion."

"Hehehe... you are an interesting guy." Aslaqi gently brushed her red hair around her ears and became a little closer to Leticia.

From her point of view, Leticia was just a princess who came from the countryside, was stabbed in the back by her own sister, and lost the right to inherit the kingdom.

But now it seems that my judgment was wrong.

Standing aside, Geed watched the conversation between the two princesses and found that they were unexpectedly harmonious and had no conflicts because of Akhtar's relationship.

Could this be the so-called princess temperament?

at the same time.

on the other side.

Ximu slid down the gap in the canyon and observed the giant dragon lying in the canyon in the distance, and occasionally heard the roar of pain.

Even though they were not too close, his body still felt tense, and the dull groan of pain made him feel his body vibrating.

This... game is optimized, not bad.

Thinking like this, he sneaked behind the boulder like a ghost, then opened the toxin bottle, and then recited a spell.

"With my blood, the demon wolf that eats the arm of the god, come here!" Along with the spell, several demon wolves crawled out from the shadows behind.

Then, Ximu stuffed the toxin bottle into the mouth of the demon wolf, commanded several demon wolves to disperse and sneak close to the dragon. After reaching a certain distance, he ordered the demon wolf to bite the toxin bottle into pieces, and then released the summon of the demon wolf.

He chose these toxins. As long as they diffuse into the air, they will become toxins that inhibit the sense of smell. They will not cause any harm to the body, but they will cause the poisoned target to have their sense of smell suppressed and unable to smell overly irritating odors.

Some adventurers would deliberately poison themselves to suppress their sense of smell in order to defeat some monsters with too strong smells.

And now he uses this mixed toxin to suppress the dragon's sense of smell, which will definitely be detected by the dragon under normal circumstances.

But now that the dragon is cursed, even if there is a problem with its sense of smell, it will be thought that it is caused by the curse, not that someone is poisoning itself.

Waited for ten minutes.

Ximu recited the spell to summon the demon wolf, and stuffed several toxin bottles into the demon wolf's mouth. He followed the same pattern and made the demon wolf run to the giant dragon. He ordered the demon wolf to bite the toxin bottles to pieces, and then immediately released them. The summons of the demon wolf.

Without a moment's hesitation, he turned around and started running away. The poison he administered this time... was not one that inhibited the sense of smell. For ordinary people, smelling it would kill him.

Although it is not fatal to the dragon, it is very fatal to him.

After he ran into the forest.

"Roar!" The roar of the giant dragon spread, and the powerful sound waves shook the leaves, making people feel numb all over the body.

Ximu didn't look back and sped up the pace of evacuation. He didn't know whether the dragon after the optimization of the game would notice that he was poisoned.

Therefore, we still have to seize the time and run away.

"Ho ho ho!" The dragon's painful roar became stronger and stronger, and then gradually became lower, and Xi Mu had already hid under a nearby hillside.

He waited in silence for a moment.

"It seems that the poisoning trick is still useful." Poking his head out, Xi Mu observed it for a moment, and then sneakily approached the dragon again.

After patiently observing the dragon for more than ten minutes, he began to sneak closer to the dragon. Every time he approached a small distance, he would hide behind the bunker and observe the status of the dragon.

Then he dived down the slope of the canyon.

Following the same pattern, he opened the package and took out the toxin bottle, summoned several demon wolves to hold the toxin bottles in their mouths, sneakily approached the dragon, and watched as the demon wolves chewed up the toxin bottles.

Then he immediately canceled the summons, turned around and ran away.

Different poison bottles have different effects. They can not only suppress the dragon's senses, but also put the dragon's body into a weak state.

As for poisoning the giant dragon... don't make trouble, it's not that the dragon is not poisonous, the main reason is that the poison that can poison the giant dragon is very expensive, and he can't afford it in the early stage.

And even if you can afford it, you won't waste so much money on it. As a player with an action soul and a good skill.

Of course, it is satisfying to kill the boss yourself. Sneaking and using despicable methods to kill the omniscient god without anyone knowing, this kind of gameplay is not uncommon, but this is not one of his actions. The hobby of soul players.

If he doesn't kill people, why would he play the game Mystic Door?

Not long after leaving.

"Ho ho ho!" The roar of the giant dragon came, the leaves rustled by the violent airflow, and the giant dragon that was lying on the ground also raised its head.

His vertical pupils revealed an astonishing pressure, and he looked down at the mountains and jungles, trying to find out what was wrong.

However, the strong feeling of weakness and pain coming from his body made him lie down again. Perhaps, the current abnormality in his body was just the effect of the curse.

"The dragon's health bar and resistance are really high." Ximu walked out from behind a tree and glanced in the direction of the dragon.

The poison that is enough to kill a giant only makes the dragon feel uncomfortable, and this is still a weak dragon.

If the dragon is in a healthy state, with its ridiculously high resistance, the poison will not be enough to make the dragon feel uncomfortable.

Although it is an out-and-out attribute monster, only a mechanical monster like the Witch can ignore the dragon and kill it instantly with just a flick of a finger.

Of course, when he gets the power of the Ash King in the later stages of the game, the dragon will be nothing more than that, and he can kill it at will.

But now he can only sneakily poison the dragon to weaken it.

…

…

Return to the meeting point.

"Your Excellency Akhtar, are you okay?" Leticia couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at Akhtar who parted the branches and walked out safely.

She trotted over to Ximu and observed.

"If you feel uncomfortable, you can ask the mercenary doctors to treat you. Don't hold on."

"It's okay, I'm fine." Ximu shook his head slightly and smiled at Leticia, "Let's go, let's go meet those mercenaries."

"Is the siege of the dragon next?" Aslaqi walked over and asked, and saw the silver knight shaking his head.

"No... in the follow-up, we will continue to poison and continue to weaken the dragon's resistance." Ximu explained, "Now we are just going to understand the strength of the mercenaries."

"Unexpectedly cautious." Aslaqi raised her eyebrows and said as if joking, "I heard that when you were in the duel field, you started the fight without saying anything."

"The opponent is not a giant dragon." Ximu shrugged and walked towards the mercenary station. If the attribute gap hadn't been so overwhelming, he might have tried micromanaging to kill the giant dragon, but now he was killing the giant dragon. There is no way for the dragon to break through the defense.

…

…

At night.

Mercenary station.

Leticia and Geed were still discussing tactical plans with the mercenary leaders, and also learned about the personnel and weaponry of different mercenary groups.

Ximu, on the other hand, went to see another person.

Inside the camp at the garrison.

"Are you the human being favored by the witch?" The old lady with gray hair, a cane, and a skinny body walked tremblingly in front of Ximu.

Her voice was like wood chips rubbing together.

"You look good, but you...should not be the pretty boy chosen by the Witch, right?"

Ximu remained silent.

Seeing the silent expression of the knight in front of her, the old lady's mood became more subtle, and she observed Ximu's appearance more carefully.

Yes... quite handsome, but the witch-sama is not someone who cares about looks.

"This time's plan is mainly to defeat the cursed dragon." Ximu coughed as if he was a little embarrassed and changed the subject calmly.

"What you need to do is aggravate the dragon's curse."

old lady:"……"

Now she is not very interested in cursing the dragon. Whether this human being really gets the favor of the witch is what she cares about most.

Seeing that the old lady was silent, Ximu raised his hand and tapped the silver armor on his chest, as if he had misunderstood, and said:

"I have runes on my body that the witch personally drew for me. This is absolutely impossible to fake."

He smiled.

"So, you don't have to worry about my identity."

"It's not about identity." Waving her skinny hands, the old lady stared at the handsome knight in front of her with empty eyes.

"Why can you be favored by the witch lady?"

"Maybe it's because... um... your potential is strong?" Ximu hesitated and said to the old lady uncertainly.

The atmosphere fell silent.

"Well, your potential is really good." Nodding gently, the old lady gave up the idea of ​​asking Ximu why he was favored by the witch lady.

Otherwise, she felt that her mentality might not be able to hold on.

"Maybe." Ximu glanced at her, and it seemed that he also felt that he was not confident enough, and the old lady felt even worse when she saw this scene.

She pulled the corner of her mouth and took the initiative to change the subject.

"Witch lady, what is your current state?"

"Very good." Ximu described the appearance and temperament of the witch of death, which made the old lady smile, as if she was reminiscing about the past.

Ten thousand years, how long is this time, which made the image of the witch of death in her memory blurred.

Now that Ximu mentioned it, it immediately came alive again.

"I will help you curse the dragon." The old lady came back to her senses from her nostalgia, turned around with her cane, and spoke with her back to Ximu.

"But since you want to be a dragon-slaying hero, then... I won't help you curse the dragon to death." After saying that, she trembled and left the tent without turning her head to talk to the pretty boy.

No... the witch lady can't be so superficial, maybe the pretty boy just misunderstood.

In fact, the witch lady just used him as a chess piece.

...

...

The next day.

Early morning.

The lurking mercenaries stood in different positions and took action after receiving the order. The magicians in the group took the lead and chanted the spell.

Then, meteorites mixed with flames fell from the sky and hit the weak dragon directly, followed by a series of specially made magic arrows that rained down like a rainstorm.

The lurking warriors also took action at this moment. They did not engage in direct melee combat, but threw bottles of deadly toxins around the canyon.

The canyon was shrouded in thick poisonous fog.

"Roar, roar, roar!!!" The angry roar and the spreading sonic boom blew away the smoke. The giant dragon lying on the ground supported its weak body and spread its wings to fly into the sky.

However, layers of magic circles appeared in the sky, blocking the way to the sky, and the mercenaries also threw toxin bottles at this time.

The sticky poisonous gas enveloped the canyon again.

"Start cutting!" Ximu wore a gas mask and took off the hunting king sword on his back. He saw the dark flames wrapped around the sword body, revealing a terrifying breath of death.

He jumped down the canyon and chopped at the dragon's wings. The blade cut through the dragon scales, leaving a burning black flame.

"Feel the grace of the goddess of death!"
