Back in the real world, Jiang Ling didn't do anything else in the past five days, he still practiced boxing, watched the store and played the piano, accepted Shi Yi's devil training, and counted how many days he had left to live.

I don't know if Shi Yi used some "unseemly" means, Fang Xinyuan's ex-husband has been honest recently, Fang Xinyuan's son Xiaoxin can come back to visit her from time to time, Fang Xinyuan took her son out to play, and Jiang Ling stayed alone in the piano shop. However, the weather has been getting colder recently, and the winter vacation has not yet started, so there are not many customers in the store on weekdays.

Five days later, Jiang Ling returned to the game world and began to welcome the third knockout match, which was also the first battlefield to start in an unfair battle format.

[Welcome, Heavenly Battle!] 】

......

Jiang Ling entered the battlefield and landed on a bluestone paved street, the first thing he did was to glance around him, but there was no trace of any teammates.

"Didn't you teleport together?" Jiang Ling muttered to himself, he knew that this game was a confrontation mode with unequal numbers, and then touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "The number of participants in the battle is 8, and it will not be enough for me to fight seven." ”

Although he is ranked 49th in the standings, which is relatively high, he should not be targeted to this extent, so it is more likely that his teammates did not teleport together.

"It's more likely to be 3v5 or 2v6." From the existing information, Jiang Ling didn't know how many people there were on his side, so he could only rely on blind guessing.

Moreover, this time the battlefield was in the capital of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which was naturally in the Xuanwu Continent, Jiang Ling had been to the Xuanwu Continent twice, but both were in the territory of the Northern Qin Empire, and he was not familiar with the situation in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty at all, and he did not have any intelligence advantage.

But now that you're on the battlefield, no matter what the situation is, of course, you have to do your best to win the game. Jiang Ling calmed down, turned around and was about to look around, but who knew that at this time, the main quest actually sounded directly.

[Obtain the main quest: Assist the crown prince to succeed to the throne]

[Difficulty: Difficult]

Please exert all your strength to complete the prince's plan, clear the rebellion, and assist the prince to ascend the throne smoothly. 】

"Huh?" Jiang Ling was a little surprised, because he hadn't done anything yet, and he wouldn't trigger any plot, and the main quest was given out directly, and what was even more different was that this time the main quest didn't seem to be phased, but the ultimate goal that directly ran through the entire battlefield plot, and it wouldn't be changed halfway.

"I didn't see any plot, so I just threw out the main quest?" Jiang Ling muttered to himself in confusion.

Who knew that the peculiarity of this battlefield was not only that, but something that surprised Jiang Ling even more.

.......

“What f*ck！？” Listening to a series of system prompts ringing in his ears, Jiang Ling's eyes couldn't help but widen and he was very stunned.

Not only was the main quest directly explained at the beginning, but it was also given four team side quests in a row!

Although the frequency of side quests has increased a lot since the last update, Jiang Ling can't even imagine that Jiang Ling can't imagine giving four side quests in a row without any flag being triggered. Moreover, this is not a normal side quest, but a "team side quest", and it is the first time that the task reward is given.

Jiang Ling couldn't laugh or cry for a while, but he didn't let his guard down, first took a brief look around, and it could be seen that this was a clean street, with classical style houses on both sides, and white flags hung under the eaves of each house, so it seemed that there was no danger for the time being. Jiang Ling didn't have time to investigate in detail, but began to study this series of tasks.

"It's off to a great start." Jiang Lingdan muttered painfully, but in his mind, he thought about the plot of the battlefield preview and the main line and side quests in series.

"First of all, from the point of view of the main quest, I am a prince's party, there is no doubt about it. Secondly, judging from the introduction of the battlefield and the notes of the main quest, the prince's enemies are the prince who intends to rebel, and the powerful Dazai who walks on the throne. Jiang Ling pinched his chin and said to himself in his heart: "It is rare for a dignified emperor to have only one son, but this advantage is that it is not easy for brothers to compete for the throne after the emperor's death, and the ministers of the court and the central government do not need to consider the issue of standing in line, and they will all consider the prince as the legitimate successor." The problem is that the crown prince is only seventeen years old, too young, and the ministers of the court and the central government may not have much support and awe for him, and the power of the prince's faction will not be too strong. But that Dazai is a veteran of the two dynasties, judging from the preview, it is clear that this person is above 10,000 people under one person in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, if Dazai and the prince intend to kill the prince, then the prince is in danger. ”

Jiang Ling pondered this first, and then he didn't stand stupidly, he walked forward casually, looking around with his eyes.

But at the same time, he continued to think in his heart: "The crown prince is too young and his power has not yet been established, so he is not the opponent of Dazai and the prince no matter how you think about it." It stands to reason that if the main quest is 'to help the prince escape', it would be easy to understand. ”

Although this ancient environment is not as good as that of modern society, in the real world, at the age of seventeen, it is when high school has not yet graduated, the cold window is hard, and the test papers are flying all over the sky, or some stubborn young people are still playing games, falling in love, and fighting wits and courage with teachers and parents. And in this ancient social environment, the seventeen-year-old dancing elephant may not have a family, but those who think about it are also married, and those who should work are also worked. As the crown prince, at the age of seventeen, under the education of the royal teaching team, he must also understand some politics, and his mind is approaching maturity, but after all, he will not participate in too much court politics.

Judging from the battlefield preview, two ministers once knelt in front of the prince, which seemed to imply that these two were the prince's cronies. But at the same time, it also shows another point, there will not be too many ministers of the prince's faction in the DPRK and China...

Take 10,000 steps back, even if this prince has an extraordinary mind and is a good person, his power in the court is definitely not comparable to the Dazai of the elders of the two dynasties.

Jiang Ling knows the position of Dazai, and in different dynasties, the titles similar to him are Xiangguo, Prime Minister, Minister of Military Aircraft, etc., and they have a common common name, called "Prime Minister". To put it simply, this position is the emperor's deputy, and the supreme consul other than the emperor, and he holds half of the country's military and political power.

It's hard to imagine, how can a seventeen-year-old prince fight with such a person?

And there is also a prince who led his troops straight to the capital?

Jiang Ling felt that such a situation was really rotten, but he didn't expect that the system would not give such an absolute gap, Jiang Ling pondered: "Could it be that the prince, Dazai, and prince are the tripartite forces?" ”

Jiang Ling thinks it is very possible, this makes sense, as long as the prince is protected first, and watch the prince and Dazai fight, then he will have the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman. After all, the prince's only advantage is "orthodoxy", he is a veritable prince of the country, presumably some upright and loyal ministers, when the situation is not one-sided, they are still more willing to stand on the side of the prince.

Then Jiang Ling also muttered in his mind: "Otherwise, the old emperor is not dead, and the father and son plus a prince of the imperial family will join forces to get rid of this Dazai." It can't be that this prince is a natural genius, with a unique skill, and there is some tailed beast or something sealed in his body..."

Jiang Ling pondered secretly, and at the same time raised his head and saw a palace wall embedded with glazed tiles in the distance.

Because he had seen a bird's-eye view of the entire palace in the battlefield preview, Jiang Ling recognized it at a glance as the palace wall.
