Chapter 212: The Watcher and the Vegetable Family
The next day, after arranging everything in Hope Valley, Levi began to go out to the jungle with his troops.
He first went to Blackstone Fort to do some errands, and then he took some people and began to march into the field, this time to a mass grave in the northwest of the valley.
Recently, someone found that there seems to be a situation of low-level undead activities there, so Blackstone Fort issued a team-based reconnaissance mission for this, as long as you confirm that there are scattered undead naturally formed by death energy, or there are organized and large-scale undead activities, you can go to Blackstone Fort to receive task rewards.
Although the mission reward is not too good, it is an opportunity for Levi to show the strength of his troops, in front of his guild members!
That's right, after accumulating strength for so long, Levi finally decided to establish a guild in Blackstone Castle and named it Warden, which means watching and helping each other.
He didn't come to be the boss of the rivers and lakes, and he never had this idea, he just hoped that someone could help him in his crisis, and that was enough.
The establishment of the Warden did not make much waves in Blackstone Castle, because with the continuous influx of new players, similar guilds in Blackstone Castle are probably close to half a hundred.
Even if Levi was a human, he didn't get much attention, because the imperial border city of Helmgart is not too far from Blackstone Castle, and many human players have come from there recently, and there are also many dwarven players who have gone to Helmgart.
It's just that most of those dwarven players chose to return to Blackstone Fort in the end. Because compared to the powerful Blackstone Castle, which has dozens of clans and a very rich number of troops, the strength of the imperial border city of Helmgart seems to be much weaker, the number of troops is very small, and the strength is not so strong.
And the players quickly figured out that Blackstone Fort had become one of the many kingdoms of the Mountain Kingdom with the power of a castle, but Helmgart was only one of several cities in the Empire's Rick Province, and because it was only a border city, it was a fortress against alien races such as the Beastmen, so the buildings were inclined to be practical, and it looked quite rubbish, and because of the frequent wars, it was not prosperous, and compared with Blackstone Fort, the two sides were not at the same level at all.
After Levi rented a small house in Blackstone Fort and successfully established a guild, he found that the dwarven players who were crying and shouting to join his guild had hardly seen a dozen days ago.
But his guild has now recruited a few members, who are his acquaintances, from the vegetable family, what potatoes, cucumbers, winter melons, tomatoes, one counts as one, all joined, but in addition to the round face, the tomato that looks a little stupid and cute is a girl, the others are all old men, and they are all short hands and feet, but the body is very round dwarf players, but their faces are a little immature, obviously the real age is definitely not too big.
After such a long period of hard work, their strength has changed a lot compared to the beginning, and together they can basically put together a few squads of 2nd order soldiers, and even a few 3rd order soldiers.
Although it is not yet the first players to join the game, the pace of development is a little faster than it was at the beginning, which has to praise the beastmen.
Although because of their recent surge in numbers, they have a great threat and influence on many aborigines, such as merchants who are accustomed to walking in the wild, and some villages with not very strong garrisons, it is precisely because of their appearance that new players who have recently joined the game can accumulate strength so quickly, and can allow old players who already have some strength to further accelerate their development.
Just like before, the Avengers gathered so many troops, and finally paid a lot of price to get an undead village and successfully captured the first village belonging to the player.
But in the past few days, because of the killing of a large number of beastmen, so the players who can exchange a large number of troops and equipment in their respective camps have also improved rapidly, so the players of various races who have obtained villages have been like a blowout recently, there are more than a dozen or twenty almost every day, and as of yesterday, almost a hundred villages have appeared, all thanks to the generosity of the beastmen.
It's just that even though the vegetable family is almost at the first-class level in the same group of players, and their knowledge has also increased a lot compared to the beginning, after they joined Levi's troops, they still couldn't help but be stunned one by one, almost speechless, even though they had walked several miles now, their mood was still difficult to calm down.
Although I know that the master in front of me entered the game before myself and others, and is the first batch, this gap is too big. But at the same time, they are also glad that they know that they have not chosen the wrong boss.
Once again, I witnessed Levi's troops easily sweep away the beastmen who stood in the way, and because of the team, he and the others didn't do anything, so they took a part of the experience points for nothing, and even were assigned some equipment, and several people in the vegetable family were very happy.
Although they also know that these equipment must be unsightly for the boss, but for them they can use it, and this is enough, they all have to accept it.
At this time, the potato came over: "Boss, I was surprised just now, I forgot to tell you, we received a mission before, it feels similar to this, it is also a reconnaissance mission, and it is said to find the traces of the Ten Thousand Demon Rocks... ”
"Ten Thousand Demon Rocks? Are the dwarves finally going to make a big move? ”
Levi remembers very well that the wandering wizard Camelot had told him that the Ten Thousand Demon Rock was the source of the rapid reproduction and mutation of the Beastmen, and that as long as the Ten Thousand Demon Rock was destroyed, the number of newborn Beastmen would fall to the bottom, and although the fragments of the Ten Thousand Demon Rock were still very dangerous, and they were also of high value and could be used as magic materials, they no longer had that large-scale inducing effect on the Beastmen.
"Boss, you know?" Hearing Levi's words, the cucumber next to him also hurried over, he subconsciously pushed the bridge of his nose, but was very embarrassed to find that there was nothing on it, and finally he could only put down his hand a little sneeringly.
From the other party's subconscious actions, Levi could see that the other party must be wearing glasses in the real world, but he also had a little impression of this cucumber, as Tudou said before, this guy seems to like to collect all kinds of information, and his brain is not bad, and he is barely half of the military division of the vegetable family, and he also gave them a few ideas during this time, which accelerated their development.
"Well, in short, it's the Ten Thousand Demon Rock that has caused the increase in the number of Beastmen, if you break the Ten Thousand Demon Rock, the Beastmen will become so bad again, but there are very strong beastmen guarding around the Ten Thousand Demon Rock, if you find out, come back and report it quickly, don't go up and attack people."
Although several dwarf players still didn't understand much, they still nodded obediently, but the only woman in the team, with a round face, looked stupid and cute, but the tomato didn't hold back their curiosity: "Boss, how strong will it be?" Will you take us to kill them? ”
"Hehe, it's not right now, I talked to a natives before, that guy has a team of 4th order troops, but he is still very wary of this, according to my guess, at this stage, I'm afraid that only the dwarves of Blackstone Castle, such a powerful force, can destroy those Ten Thousand Demon Rocks."
Hearing Levi's say this, the tomato suddenly shrunk his neck and stopped making a sound. Several of the other dwarves also understood the magnitude of the problem, and they knew why the mission only required them to search and not destroy, because the dwarves knew that they simply did not have that ability...
"Ah, that's a pity, if it weren't for so many beastmen, we new players would have to slow down a lot of development." Potato sighed a little, because it was the fangs of those beastmen that allowed the soldiers under their command to grow so quickly.
"I guess it's going to take a while." Levi doesn't care too much about that, there are a lot of things you have to worry about in this game, but the only thing you don't have to worry about is that you'll never be short of enemies.
"Ah, wait, Boss," at this time, the cucumber seemed to suddenly remember something, "Boss, the mission of Ten Thousand Demon Rock is to ask for search, and our mission this time is only to investigate, so you say... ”
Levi smiled: "Do you think why I came all the way to come here, is it really just to take you around and show off my troops?" ”
In fact, he didn't say it clearly, he also got a lot of information from the Brute Hammer Clan before, and this reconnaissance mission is destined to not be so simple, but if the information of the Brute Hammer Clan is true, if he is there, he will definitely be shocked, but the danger will not be too great, just look at their strength. And it's a big deal that he can run away with them, and Levi is still confident enough to do it.
Several dwarven players suddenly became a little excited, because after listening to the boss, it was obvious that this time would not be an ordinary reconnaissance mission, and they discussed it a little, and then rushed to the front with their subordinates, saying that they were going to join the reconnaissance force, and they did their best.
Levi didn't stop either, it's a good thing to have this enthusiasm, but unfortunately, can you little short legs compare to the cavalry troops of Huames?
"By the way, Boss, I've heard that there are a few new initial selectable races recently, such as Fishmen, Stone Men, and there seem to be some new enemies in Kislev, the northern Ice Country, who look a bit like Vikings."
Potato didn't follow suit, he was the oldest in the vegetable family, and his personality was the most calm, so he often played the role of a spokesperson.
"Well, I've heard of this too, and speaking of which, there were already some fish-man players on the side of my first novice village."
Probably some people don't know what hidden quest was triggered, anyway, in Oak Village, the players only need to deal with the powerful Gray Phosphorus Naga tribe and those fishmen, but now they need to deal with some players with the same identity as them, but in the opposing camp, it seems that the war there will continue for a long time.
However, the war has also contributed to the development of various aspects there, and they must be more experienced in combat than some players in peaceful places, because they often have to be wary of hostile players with the same intelligence as themselves, rather than stupid monsters.
"As for Kislev's side, some people on the forum speculate that it is because they have suffered less from the beastmen there, so for the sake of balance, they have made some enemies called Norscar pirates, most of them are on small sampans, and they go over from the other side of the sea to rob, and it seems that their territory should not be too far from Kislev."
"Well, it must be so, otherwise that little sampan wouldn't be able to carry them far." Several people are able to understand this.
"I don't know if they will be opened as the initial optional race, I feel that although those Norscar pirates are very monotonous, but in terms of strength, there are probably not many opponents in the same rank."
The appearance of the Norscar pirates has not been a day or two, and these blonde and blue-eyed men with wild beards and long hair have caused a lot of casualties to the Kislev players.
Because although their defense is very low, their attack power and health are quite low, and their desire to attack is also very strong.
What's more, the Norska Pirates are refreshed by the system, and the number is almost indecisive, and each of the player's subordinates is not easy to get, which is a headache.
The only thing to be thankful for is that these Norsca pirates carry a lot of money and valuables that can be sold, far more than those poor ghosts and beastmen, probably because they have been strong in other places before.
"Hehe, as things stand, the answer is almost certain, it's just a matter of how long it will be. And the Norscar pirates weren't just a little bit of a mess in Kislev. According to the information I have received from other indigenous peoples, there is basically no country that has a coastal territory that has not been harassed by them, and they claim to be a pure pirate people who have robbed the whole world! ”
The reason why Levi said this was because of the identity of the mysterious traveling merchant Slary. At first, he and Tanato guessed that the other party should be Norscan, or at least have Norscan blood, so Levi collected a lot of information.
Unfortunately, Oak Village is inland, and he has never seen those Norsca pirates who only raid the coastal areas, and naturally there is not much information about this, and Levi's knowledge of them is actually very limited.
There are some Norscans among the mercenaries of the southern realm, but they can obey orders as mercenaries, and those pirates who really make a living from robbery are obviously not exactly the same category.
Potato wanted to say something, but then Levi suddenly raised his hand, because Huamez had returned with the cavalry troops, and it was clear that she had something new.
"Levi, I've noticed an unusual movement, there are groups of skeletons walking back and forth in front of them following a fixed route, they are obviously patrolling!"
"Okay, Potato, get everyone ready for battle!"
Although the potatoes they received a reconnaissance mission, Levi was not satisfied with that, if this was really a novice village of the undead as he guessed, then he would have to test the strength of the other party, if the other party was just a small village similar to Oxhorn Village, he didn't mind directly leading the troops to destroy all the living forces of the other party.
He also wanted to know how much he would gain by destroying or occupying the hostile camp's village!
