Volume 3: Turbulent Beginnings (Remastered) Chapter 54: Mosena Swamp (1)

Cooperation with state institutions is a step that Yu Bin has planned for a long time. No matter how far the snake develops in the future, it cannot avoid cooperation with governments.

This is not only because of the problem of size, but also the result of the gap in strength.

No matter which country's government agency, it has far more funds than any player, even the so-called large organization, even the Rothschilds, it is impossible for a country to spend tens of billions of funds to support its own guilds and players without hesitation.

On top of that, government agencies control one of the largest groups of players in the world – the military! Compared with ordinary players, soldiers in the army have higher quality and combat ability, and are the main source of combat players, in contrast, ordinary players play more of the role of producers and servants. Before order breaks down in the real world, the government agencies that control the military are undoubtedly the natural leaders of these combat players.

In the previous life, after the world of Entagre was fully opened to players and could be entered without a ring, governments around the world set up various guild groups, either secretly supported, or openly appeared, relying on a large number of soldiers and government employees, quickly formed a large number of large or even super-large guilds, and began to suppress the living space of ordinary players, trying to bring the world of Entagri under the control of various governments.

Although this purpose eventually went bankrupt due to the continuous expansion of the player base, these super-large guilds still played an important role in the world of Entagre, and even influenced the course of history in previous lives to a certain extent.

After being reborn, Yu Bin knew the importance of those state institutions, how could he put such an important force and not use it?

But how to harness these forces is a crucial point. It is obviously impossible to make your identity public, rely on your own prescience and fighting skills, and find a way to take your place in the super unions created by these state institutions! This means that Yu Bin will lose his personal freedom and will henceforth become a pawn in the hands of those high-level government officials.

Therefore, from the beginning of secretly supporting Li Shouyi, a game businessman, Yu Bin has already begun to lay out for this. Through Li Shouyi's gap, it is Yu Bin's plan to let those government agencies get in touch with the snake that eats the body little by little. This will not only ensure his safety, but also allow him to ensure sufficient interests and independence in cooperation with the Huaxia government under the cover of the Devouring Snake.

Alan took the goblin airship to the Sa Anlot Empire the next day, where he will train a group of rookies, as for what the identity of these rookies is, which country they belong to, Yu Bin doesn't care, this is just an attempt, when the training is finalized, this attempt has already been considered a success, as for the result of the training, it doesn't matter.

Yu Bin himself returned to the Angfei Fortress, where he had to think carefully about how to escort the ghost Manas to the Psychic Academy safely.

At the same time, an army was struggling to advance through the Mosena swamp.

"Be careful!" Phelps bent his bow and arrow, shot an armor-piercing arrow, and shot the eyes of the swamp crocodile that rushed out of the mire, but this bit of damage could not make the beast flinch, and the open mouth bit the pack horse stepping into the mire, and the three-meter-long body writhed violently, raising a large amount of water and mud, and after a while, under the huge force of the swamp crocodile, the pack horse that had long been exhausted was dragged into the quagmire by the swamp crocodile under the watchful eyes of the surrounding players.

Glas had no time to come to the rescue, he did not dare to step into the quagmire in heavy armor, the weight of the armor would make him sink into the mire as quickly as a stone, becoming food for the swamp crocodiles: "Damn! Angel, how much material have we lost? ”

"Two tents, a set of cooking utensils, a batch of dry firewood and hides, plus a spare head of grain!"

Glass waved his hand weakly: "It looks like we can only sleep in one tent for three people in the future!" Who's going to talk to the logistics officer and see if there are any extra tents! ”

"Don't count on it! Even if there are extra tents, they will not be allocated to us! Eternal Lake lifted his foot and shook the mud off his boots, for he had almost been dragged into the mire by the reins of the pack horse, and if he hadn't been quick to cut the reins of his hand with a knife, he would have had to go back to the graveyard and be resurrected now.

Clang! Clang! The sound of gongs and drums beating was heard from the front, but everyone was already surprised.

"Those wolf cubs are harassing again!" Riding a donkey to find a donkey gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know how many people will be reduced today!" ”

"Don't worry, they can't get around! There are other players in front of you! ”

"I don't know how many days it will take to get out of this swamp, I now know why the Ashwood Kingdom is reluctant to bring the Silver Pine Forest and the Hillsbrad Hills under its rule, as long as this swamp doesn't disappear for a day, they won't be able to open a safe enough passage for a day!"

Glass looked up at the gloomy sky: "Alright, stop complaining! While there is still time, hurry up and find out if there is any wood nearby that is dry, you don't want to be warm at night without a fire! ”

Unlike the undead, humans need to maintain a certain temperature to keep their lives safe, and players didn't realize this at first, thinking that the characters would not be affected in any way after going offline, and they quickly tasted the bitterness. By now, almost every player knows that putting your character to sleep before going offline is a good way to maintain stamina, and to keep a sufficient temperature during sleep to avoid freezing to death in your sleep.

The sound of the sirens also reached Raphael's ears hundreds of meters away. Unlike Glass, Raphael, who is a priest, is much more relaxed.

In order to get to the Silver Pine Forest as soon as possible, the commander of the expeditionary force, Tibest, abandoned the initial plan to detour to the Eagle's Nest Mountain in Hinterland to the town of Nanhai, and divided the entire expeditionary force into two, with a cavalry force of more than 2,000 people under his personal leadership, along the junction of the Mosena Swamp and the Eagle's Nest Mountain, straight into the Silver Pine Forest, while the remaining infantry was led by the High Priest Tadrar across the Mosena Marsh and headed for the town of Nanhai.

As a priest, Tadelal carried out the Pope's orders very well, and tried his best to make Raphael accumulate merit in this expedition. He gathered players who were willing to follow the expeditionary force and put it under Raphael's command to clear the way for the expeditionary force in the crisis-ridden Mosena swamps, while he followed the elite troops of the Holy See and the various kingdoms.

The harsh nature and mud pools of Mosena make the journey dangerous, with more than a third of the players opting out on the first day of entering the swamp, leaving fewer than four thousand players.

It's now their sixth day in the swamp, and the number of players still alive has dropped to about three thousand, with nearly half of those dead dead in the mouths of the swamp crocodiles and mire monsters, and the remaining half being swallowed up by the bottomless mire. At the same time, poisonous snakes and mosquitoes living in the swamp also make the remaining players suffer.

"This is the third attack of the day!" Raphael listened to the warning voice coming from ahead, "Your Highness Lana, how long can our supplies last?" ”

"How many times have you said it, just call me Lana! Call me Your Highness again, I'm going to be angry! ”

"But you're the princess of the kingdom of Sadari!"

"The seventh princess of the kingdom of Sadari! And with a quarter of elven blood! To be honest, my status is not as important as that of an earl's daughter! Dressed in a leather armor, Lana Sadalin shrugged nonchalantly, "My father had always wanted a descendant of pure elven blood in the family, and apparently I had let him down!" ”

Raphael didn't know much about the filth of the human kingdom, and he didn't want to get too involved in these things: "Okay, Lana! ”

"That's right! Haha, you're the first friend willing to call me that, Raphael! Lana Sadalin, who was a few years older than Raphael, was a fourth-order archer, and her elven blood gave her a lot of talent in archery, "Originally, I thought, if you call me Your Highness again, I'll call that nasty ghost of Rasfir in!" ”

"Don't, don't!"

"Don't worry, I don't want to see that guy's nasty face!" As the princess of the Sadarin Kingdom, Lana has no status at all in the eyes of Rasfir.

"Don't mention him, tell me, Lana, how many more days will we have to support us?"

"If today's losses are the same as yesterday's, we can hold on for another four days. Crossing the swamp makes it difficult for the kingdom of Ashwood to provide us with enough supplies, and even if we have the road left along the way, it will take at least half of it to get it to us by manpower! ”

"Four days!" Raphael was worried, six days had passed since he entered the swamp, but he was not halfway there. It was impossible to get out of the swamp in four days.

While Raphael was pondering how to solve the supply problem, a young knight separated Raphael's guards and walked over.

"Your Highness Hubers, has something happened?" Seeing that the person who came was not Rasfil, Lana did not stop the other party from approaching Raphael, but just asked a question in order to remind Raphael, who was thinking about the problem.

Hobels Gramm, the second son of King Maine Graham of the Kingdom of Raphinia, is also a Knight of Light, and is clearly more mature than the arrogant and conceited Prince Rasfil. Of course, this has something to do with the fact that the Knight of Light already has a crush on him and doesn't want to pursue Raphael.

"Greetings to you, Your Excellency Raphael, Your Highness Lana!" Strict etiquette was a habit for Horbels, "I'm afraid we're going to have to camp here." ”

"So early?" Lana looked up at the sky, and although it was gloomy, she could tell that it was at least two or three hours before it got dark.

"The intelligence brought by the scouts showed that there were three large pools in front of us, and it would be difficult to get around, so we had to find a way to build a simple pontoon bridge. In addition, only two of the five scout teams sent out have returned, and I am afraid that there will be more than one luck. "Horbels is not good news.

"I heard an alarm just now?"

"Two wolf cubs! One died, the other ran away, and His Highness Rasffil chased after him with his guards, and I don't think there would be any danger! ”

Raphael nodded: "Okay, I see!" Lana, send someone to inform Lord Tadrar that we are going to camp here tonight and make a pontoon bridge. ”

"Leave it to me, and by the way, I'll find a way to get some supplies from that old man! I want to take a shower tonight, I haven't had a shower in six days! ”

"Then I'll arrange for someone to set up the camp!" Hobels made an excuse to retire very well, he didn't want to stay here and become a thorn in the side of others, you know, in order to win Raphael's favor, in addition to Rasfil, the prince of the Arnas Empire, there are many royals from other kingdoms are also in this team.

In a short time, the accompanying magicians had set up a simple camp, the simple baked ground kept the tent from being damp, the specially reinforced dirt made it impossible for the mud monsters to launch a sneak attack by digging holes, and the only fly in the ointment was that the whole camp was filled with a rotting smell of dirt and leaves.

With the broth, Raphael and Lana nibble on dry food one bite at a time, don't expect any delicious food on a field march, it's good to be able to fill your stomach!

Rasfil occupies the position closest to Raphael, of course, the closest, but in fact there is more than a meter away from Raphael, unlike Lana, who is almost close to Raphael. His Royal Highness nibbled on the jerky in his hand and gushed about his bravery in hunting down werewolves, as if it were an act comparable to the heroic deeds recorded in myths and legends.

Lana, who couldn't stand it, couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Your Highness Rasfil, if I'm not mistaken, in order to eliminate that werewolf, two of your personal guards were injured and had to consume valuable potions to remove the toxins from their bodies. I even had to send two scout squads to get you back, which affected how quickly we could build the pontoon! ”

Lana's-for-tat confrontation made Rasfil speechless for a while, and his smug look slowly disappeared, and he had to keep his mouth shut.

"Today we lost another 37 people, and six more were seriously injured, not to mention the minor injuries. A lot of supplies have also been lost. Raphael, is there anything you can do? If we continue like this, when we get out of the swamp, I'm afraid that half of the manpower will be good! ”
