Chapter 23: Overlord Mission

In the distance, the city wall of Wudu County has come into view.

"It's finally here!"

Yitong quickened his pace.

The mottled traces of years of fighting are engraved on the ancient city wall, and this important border fortress town plays an immeasurable role in resisting the Hu people.

Looking at the closed city gate in front of him, Yi Tong frowned, this broad daylight is the peak period when people enter and leave the city, why is the gate of the entire Wudu City closed?

Looking around, I didn't find any trace of Hu Qi!

"Who's under the city?" Suddenly, there was the shouting of the military academy on the city wall.

"I am the messenger of the county, the patron saint of the Yu'er family!" Yi Tong replied loudly at the city wall.

"It's the messenger of the county keeper! The county keeper has finally sent a messenger! "There was a mess on the whole wall.

"Captain Zhou, the county guard has finally sent someone."

A majestic figure appeared on the edge of the city wall.

"Dare to ask the hero is the patron saint of the Yu'er family?"

"It's me!" Obviously, Yi Tong didn't know what happened in Wudu, and he was so under martial law.

"There will be no mistake, I saw his portrait before the lockdown, and it should be the patron saint of the Yu'er family himself." Captain Zhou said sideways to the white-shirted scribe next to him.

"Since it's correct, why don't you ask the hero to come up." The white-shirted scribe said eagerly.

"The patron saint of the Yu'er family, because of the special situation now, Ben will not be able to open the city gate, so he can only put down the hanging basket and pull you up."

"Don't worry, general, I'm not so delicate, put down the hanging basket." Yi Tong said to the city wall.

As soon as he finished speaking, a hanging basket slowly lowered from the city wall.

Yi Tong looked at the hanging basket in front of him, the quality should be okay, in this era, without cutting corners, he should not fall from the air.

Strode up, clinging to the perimeter of the hanging basket.

"General, it's okay."

"Pull~"

"Crunch~" Yi Tong looked at the swaying and rising hanging basket with a cold sweat on his face, in fact, he really wanted to say that he had a slight fear of heights.

"It's finally up."

After the hanging basket reached the high point, Yitong climbed the city wall, turned sideways, and stood firmly on the city wall.

Looking at the strong man and the white-shirted scribe in front of him, Yi Tong saluted, although he didn't know who the two people in front of him were, but looking at this posture, it should be the captain and county captain of Wudu City.

"The patron saint of the Yu'er family, I am Zhou Xiong, the captain of the city, and this is Mr. Chengyan of the county." The strong man introduced Yitong.

Now that he has found the main owner, Yitong did not hesitate and handed over the handwritten letter of the county guard to the county guard.

"It seems that Lord County Shou doesn't know anything about the situation on our side, Wudu City has been surrounded by Hu Qi." After reading the county guard's handwriting, the county man said with emotion.

"What! Could it be that all the messengers we sent ......" Captain Zhou looked at the county Cheng with a shocked expression.

"That's right, it seems that the Hu people should have blocked our direction to Wuyuan County, only allowed to enter but not out, they want to make a time difference, loot the entire village of Wudu, and prevent Wuyuan from sending reinforcements prematurely, the Hu people have a master in charge this time." The county Cheng analyzed.

"What! It turned out to be like this, if there was no reinforcement from the county guard, the hatred of the county lord? Isn't it impossible to report it? Captain Zhou looked unwilling.

"Two adults, I don't know what happened in this Wudu City?" Yi Tong seemed to hear some bad news from the words of the two.

The two looked at each other. The county took the initiative to say:

"Let's talk about it, this matter has to start from half a month ago, the county lord got the news that the Hu people may be deducted at any time, and ordered me and the other two to go to various villages to let the villagers temporarily move to Wudu City for the winter, and the walls are clear, and the Hu people are not left with any food. The county lord personally led the team and headed towards the north of the city. Who knows, Hu people suddenly appeared outside the city of Wudu, the county lord who went out of the city, all captured, want to use the life of the county lord to knock on the door of my Wudu City, the county lord has a great favor to both of us, afraid that we will open the city gate, directly suicide Before the city gate, Wudu City now has less than 1000 soldiers to fight, we can only close the city gate, stick to the help, we sent a total of 3 waves of messengers to Wuyuan, but until now there is no news, until the arrival of the patron saint of the Yu'er family, we don't know, The messengers sent did not reach Wuyuan City at all, and it seems that they were all ...... by the Hu people."

Obviously, Zhou Xiaowei and the county Cheng are also at a loss for the current situation, Wudu City is obviously targeted to death by the Hu people, the Hu people lack siege equipment, and there is nothing they can do about Wudu, a border fortress town, but the people of Wudu City can't get out. The best situation is, of course, to transmit the situation of Wudu to Wuyuan City, and the county guard sent reinforcements to join forces with Wudu, but if there are fewer people, they can't rush out, and if there are more people, Wudu City will be empty, which provides the possibility for the Hu people to attack the city.

"Ding Dong ~ Due to the sudden change in the situation of Wudu City, the difficulty of the task has increased, please inform the county guard of the current situation of Wudu City within three days, the task reward is unknown, and the task punishment cannot obtain experience points for 10 days, will the player continue the task? Abandon the task and proceed directly to the penalty reward. The system's evil prompt sounded in Yi Tong's ears.

"What! The reward is unknown, the punishment is so vicious! Yi Tong felt that the world was spinning, and what he thought was a simple task of sending a letter turned into an incompleteable overlord task.

Obviously, the Hu people deliberately let themselves in, although it is easy to come in, but to get out, at least at this stage, the Hu people will never agree, if they do not loot the villages in Wudu County, the Hu people will not retreat, and they will not let people pass the news of Wudu to Wuyuan.

Especially his own two little short legs, when he met the cavalry of the Hu people's brigade, it was not enough for others to have a horse's hoof.

It's a pity that the system doesn't give itself a way out, and the vicious punishment of not being able to gain experience for 10 days is unacceptable to Yitong.

"Keep the mission on!" With tears in his eyes, he had to continue.

"Players confirm to continue the mission, please bring the letter from the county to the county guard within three days, otherwise you will not be able to obtain experience points within 10 days."

As soon as the prompt sound of the system fell, the county Cheng shook Yitong's hand with a look of surprise.

Yi Tong looked at the county Cheng with a cold face, and he didn't know where the county Cheng came from, and put a letter in Yi Tong's hand.

"Hero, the safety of our Wudu County subjects is all on you."

"Don't worry, I will definitely do my best to rush back to Wuyuan City." Yi Tong resigned himself to putting the letter of the county into his backpack.

"Ding Dong ~ get the quest item, the letter of the county Cheng, which will be dropped after the player dies."

Sure enough, the system will not leave any more bugs for itself, and the original plan to sacrifice a little experience and die to return to Wuyuan City seems to be bankrupt.

The quest item will inevitably fall after death, which means that Yi Tong must return to Wuyuan City alive, and Yi Tong doesn't know how he can fight his way out of the Wudu City surrounded by Hu Qi with only two legs.

However, the system should not give this kind of task that has no hope at all, and there should be something that I didn't expect.

Yitong's brain was running rapidly.

Looking at Captain Zhou, who wanted to speak in front of him, Yi Tong had a flash of inspiration, maybe the breakthrough was here.
