Chapter XVIII: Rebellion
Rebellion!
Qin Ran thought of this word at the same time as lawlessness.
"It's all in one place!"
Lawless whispered in a seemingly joking tone, but the expression on his face was extremely solemn.
On the premise of lacking equipment and not healing from injuries, Lawless knows very well what will happen if he encounters a large-scale enemy.
As for Qin Ran?
When he was a novice dungeon, the crowd tactics he encountered were enough to make him remember it vividly.
However, after the two glanced at each other, they rushed towards the two rebels at the same time.
The appearance of the rebels caught everyone off guard.
It's not just Qin Ran and lawlessness.
And also......
The defenders inside the castle!
In the ears of the two, there was already the sound of the two sides fighting.
Therefore, this is an opportunity for Qin Ran and Lawlessness.
A chance to find Hans and dig out the castle.
Bang!
Qin Ran's left foot was like a steel whip, slamming on the head of the rebel in front of him, and with the crisp 'click' sound of the bones, the other party spun like a spinning top and flew off the ground, and then fell heavily on the open space in the distance, and there was no sound.
And the other rebel only reacted at this time.
The other party subconsciously wants to shout loudly.
But a powerful palm covered the mouth, and the edge of the long sword swept over the neck.
Burst!
Blood sprayed, and another rebel withered to the ground.
After quickly killing the two rebels, Qin Ran and Lawless checked the corpses, looking for items that could be used together.
For example: the leather armor on the other person's body.
Although there will be some trouble after putting it on, it is better than having no protection and relying on the body to resist.
[Name: Rebel Leather Armor]
[Type: Armor]
【Quality: Excellent】
[Defense: Normal defense against sword and sharp weapon attacks, weak defense against hammer blunt weapons and long-range arrow attacks]
[Attributes: None]
[Special Effect: None]
[Requirements: None]
[Can I bring out this copy: Yes]
[Note: This is the leather armor of the rebels, after wearing it, when facing the rebels, it has a certain disguise effect, but it will cause hostility from the castle defenders]
……
Qin Ran looked at the remarks, he had expected it, and he was not surprised.
He didn't care about the outcome of the hostilities.
After all, the two of them themselves were 'thieves' and 'fugitives', and when they faced the castle defenders, they were also hostile.
However, there are still things that surprise Qin Ran-
[Discovery Side Quest: Suddenly]
[Suddenly: A rebellion appears in front of you who are ready to flee, the rebels will kill everyone they see, including you, if you want to leave the castle safely, you can only pick up arms and fight back against these rebels!] The more rebels you kill before leaving the castle range, the higher the rating you'll get when you clear the level! 】
"Side quests?"
Qin Ran was stunned.
He didn't expect side quests to appear in such a way.
According to Qin Ran's original thoughts, in this extremely special copy world in front of him, because of his identity and situation, the probability of him getting a side quest would be negligible.
But this is called [Sudden], and it is actually a sudden side quest, but it is telling him.
It doesn't seem that difficult to get side quests in this special dungeon world.
"Better than expected!"
When Qin Ran was groaning, Lawless had already put on the [Rebel Leather Armor], and after he moved his body for a while, he commented like this.
Standard leather armor is naturally not as good as customized leather armor.
But there's one thing that custom leather armor can't match: the fit.
In order to adapt to most body types, when making standard leather armor, a few live buckles will be left for the wearer to adjust by himself.
Of course, this is also leather armor.
Although the armor made of metal seems to have the same live buckle, the meaning of the live buckle is only to make the wearer safer.
It has nothing to do with the word standard.
"And, there are windfalls!"
Qin Ran said as he showed the side quest to Lawlessness.
"As it should be!"
"2567 The number of dungeons you have experienced determines your difficulty, not only in the main quest, but also in other aspects!"
"If it were me, I would have to kill at least one level of the rebel boss before it was possible to trigger the side quest, and the content of the side quest was not simply to kill ordinary rebels or something, but to kill the rebel leader, or even more exaggerated characters!"
Looking at Qin Ran's side quest prompts, Lawlessness sighed.
Such an exclamation made Qin Ran more and more firm in his original intention.
Sure enough, it was the right choice to complete the title and side quests as much as possible in each dungeon.
Not only can you take advantage of the normal dungeon, but a dungeon that is much higher than your own level like this can gain a greater advantage.
And advantages, naturally, represent benefits.
However, Qin Ran did not forget the original plan because of the immediate benefits.
Find Hans.
Escape the castle.
The existence of the contract reminds Qin Ran at all times.
"Let's go find Hans now!"
Qin Ran said.
"Do you have a clue?"
Lawless looked at Qin Ran in surprise.
"We are 'thieves' who have stolen the treasure room of Grand Duke Merck, and the number of people who can be qualified to interrogate us is quite limited!"
"And because of the war, Grand Duke Merck and his eldest son led the troops outside, and most of the generals also went out with them, and among the remaining people in the entire castle, there are only three with this qualification!"
"Archduke Merck's second son, youngest son, and Gratton!"
"One of the youngest sons died in prison."
"Gratton just happened."
"According to Hans, Graton was one of the eldest son's die-hard supporters!"
"If we assume that Greton did not go to 'sweep the tail', but to get the news of the theft of the 'Inheritance' and interrogate us, where do you think we should go now to find Hans's whereabouts?"
Qin Ran looked at lawlessness as he spoke.
This is what Qin Ran had just thought.
Dead soldiers, there is no need to worry about leaks at all.
So why is there such a thing as 'sweeping the tail'?
Even, letting the dead man play is the best choice for the instigator behind the scenes.
Because, the dead will use death to keep their secrets.
What could be more secure?
Therefore, Qin Ran removed the assumption that Graton was here to 'sweep the tail' and replaced it with another assumption that the other party appeared in prison.
This assumption makes everything work out.
"Second son!"
Lawless blurted out.
"The death of the youngest son?"
"And the theft of the 'Inheritance'?"
He asked unconsciously.
"There are too few clues, I can't think of any clues for the time being!"
"Maybe they're related, maybe they're just two separate events at all!"
"Who knows?"
With that, Qin Ran walked briskly towards the courtyard where the second son of Grand Duke Merck was.
Lawlessness followed closely.
Thanks to the map drawn by Hans.
So that Qin Ran would not be like a headless fly.
He followed the path of the courtyard that reached the second son of the Archduke Merck as fast as possible.
Naturally, you will encounter rebels and castle defenders from time to time along the way.
Sporadic and small-scale, Qin Ran naturally killed them all.
In the face of a large number of people and a large scale, Qin Ran and Lawlessness chose to avoid it.
As the number of rebels increased, Qin Ran felt more and more that something was wrong in his heart.
"There are too many rebels!"
"It's not about the number of people you can reach by lurking at all!"
"And it's like the defenders have opened the gates of the city, allowing the rebels to rush in!"
Qin Ran thought as he walked.
After discovering the rebels, Qin Ran's initial judgment was that a small group of rebels lurked into the castle, and after launching a surprise attack, he took advantage of the chaos to open the gate of the castle and introduce the rebel army outside into the castle.
But more and more rebels in front of him told Qin Ran that it was not at all what he had guessed.
"Where did the rebels come from?"
"And the killing in the Great Hall before, what's going on?"
The doubts in Qin Ran's heart became more and more.
Especially the auditorium killings.
It made Qin Ran even more puzzled.
The masked man had killed the rebels, and it was supposed to be the castle defenders.
But the other party immediately killed the adviser of Grand Duke Merck, and it still looked premeditated.
Immediately, the other side stood on the opposite side of the castle defenders.
This chaotic approach made Qin Ran feel confused.
"What is it for?"
Qin Ran meditated in his heart, but his pace kept speeding up.
Ten minutes later, Qin Ran and Lawless, who had been walking all the way, finally arrived at the courtyard where the second son of Grand Duke Merck was located in the inner courtyard of the castle.
Looking at the courtyard in front of him, Qin Ran and Lawless frowned at the same time.
It's been completely turned into a miniature battlefield.
The castle defenders occupy the geography and rely on strong crossbows to repel the rebels again and again.
The rebels held large shields and charged again and again without fear of death.
The arrow landed on one of the rebels, and as if they were completely painless, they continued to charge, piercing the castle defenders in front of them with a single sword.
The castle defenders, who fell to the ground with a sword, took their last breath and hugged the rebels who were just about to pass by them, making the other party slow down.
Puff puff!
Several spears stabbed the rebels in this way.
The rebels fell to the ground unwillingly.
The castle defenders, who had spears in their hands, were stabbed down with their swords by the rebels who pounced on them.
But before the rebels could take a step forward, an arrow fell overhead.
The sword flashed and the arrow flew and the blood flowed.
It's like a flesh millstone, turning up and down, countless lives are crushed and annihilated.
The tragic situation made the servants in the castle tingle, and they fell to the ground crying one by one, trying to escape from here with their hands and feet.
But this will only attract more attention from the rebels.
The weapons in their hands do not care about slaughter.
One by one, the castle servants fell in pools of blood.
This enraged the castle defenders, who swung their weapons and fired arrows.
The rebels laughed.
Rushed up to the attack of the castle defenders.
Some fell, but many more tore a hole in the castle's defenders' defenses.
When more rebels rushed through this opening, no matter how hard the castle defenders tried to defend it, it would be useless.
The opening was torn wider and wider.
The courtyard was about to be lost.
Woo!
An arrow whirled through the battlefield with a whistling sound that tore through the air.
At least seven or eight rebels were pierced.
Ten similar arrows followed.
Although not as powerful as the first, each one was capable of taking the lives of four or five rebels.
With the appearance of these eleven arrows, the entire battlefield was reversed almost instantaneously.
"'Gift'!"
The castle defenders cheered loudly.
The rebels looked terrified.
But they had no intention of retreating, and once again they charged.
"Something is wrong!"
Looking at this kind of charge that hit the stone with an egg, Qin Ran thought instinctively.
And the next moment, Qin Ran felt a slight tremor on the ground.
