Eighty-three, new tasks
Seeing that we didn't give him an answer, the middle-aged man spoke to himself.
Originally, he and his family ran a homestay here, but when the capital region was in turmoil, a warlord leader stayed at the homestay while fleeing. Later, when the warlord leader left, in order to block the news, he killed all his family, and when he went to buy the goods, he did not know whether it was luck or misfortune, and escaped alone.
He exhausted his fortune and collected the fugitive warlord's retreat, and is now willing to trade the last of his possessions, the homestay, for the fugitive warlord's death.
"What a tragic experience...... Meow Meow said with a rare sad expression.
I feel the same way, but unfortunately, the risk of attacking the leader of a fugitive warlord is high without knowing how much military strength he still has left. However, the establishment of a foothold in the ceasefire area and in the capital region, where access to information is wider, would go a long way towards resolving the current impasse.
I carefully checked the information on the task interface, and finally found that this task is different from the previous tasks we have received: first, this task itself has no time limit; Secondly, this quest is a wanted quest, which is open to all players, and as soon as one of the players who accepted the quest completes the quest, the quest is over. From a game point of view, this kind of task is best completed as soon as possible; But on the other hand, there is no harm to us in taking on this task, and it is good to complete it, and there is no loss if it is not completed.
So, we accepted the assignment first, and then returned to the base to discuss with our teammates before making a decision. After accepting the mission, the location of the warlord leader was marked on the map, in an abandoned prison not far from the capital area, and the prison was actually surrounded by mountains, which was typical of easy to defend and difficult to attack.
On the way back, because there was no need to separate operations, we only drove one car, and on the way, we went to the arms dealer's safe house to further replenish supplies, and also bypassed the abandoned town where NPCs were stationed, and the two of us exchanged drivers, but returned to the base without spending the night in the field.
When we arrived at the base, we met Zebra who was keeping vigil, so we first explained to him what happened to us on this trip, but what Meow Meow and I didn't expect was that while we were leaving, another enemy patrol attacked our base and new stronghold, but fortunately, the newly replenished mercenary NPC and three teammates repelled them without much loss.
