Chapter 10 Unexpected news, the loss of the bridge.
"Very well, your understanding is the best I have ever seen among the young people, and the fact that you can incorporate the skills I taught you in battle so quickly shows that you are very talented in combat."
A strong surge of force forced Li Mo back, and Hans stopped his second attack, stood on the ground with his sword in both hands, and praised him.
However, he soon straightened his face and said to him in a stern tone: "But you have to remember that martial arts are like a ship sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, don't waste this talent because you have a certain talent." ”
Perhaps for fear of scaring Li Mo, he lowered his voice again, as if he had made some kind of determination, and said word by word: "If you can perform better in guarding the village this time, and improve your combat skills, I will consider teaching you a combat skill myself." ”
After speaking, Captain Hans ignored Li Mo's ecstatic expression, turned his head to look at the gray mist in the distance, and ignored him.
"Your performance has greatly satisfied the militia captain Hans, who promised to teach you a high-level skill if you excel in the rest of the battle."
"Side Quest: Outstanding Performance."
"Mission Description: You need to be better at yourself in the next battles to make Hans look the other way."
"Quest reward: 1 gold coin, skill points +3, attribute points +1, and a combat skill. (Note: This benefit is only available for beginner missions)"
It's another side quest, and it's a side quest with super rewards, comparable to the main quest. Just looking at this mission goal, Li Mo couldn't be happy.
Although the requirements of this task were very vague, he knew that in this limited three-day period, he would definitely not be able to complete it without accidents. It's very simple, the mission objective requires his combat skills to go further, and this will stump him, and his basic melee skills will only be upgraded to level four, and then advanced
One step is level five, with him plus four years of military university and three years of battlefield experience, a total of seven years is only level three basic melee combat, and it is almost impossible to upgrade to another level in such a short period of three days.
So although these rewards made him extremely hot, and a high-level combat skill could greatly increase his strength all at once, it was a pity that this difficulty was really speechless.
Taking advantage of this rare silence, Li Mo picked up his sword and began to experiment with the basic melee techniques of the fourth layer and the basic footwork of the third layer in an open space on the side, familiarizing himself with the surging strength.
Although the basic skills are improved, the strength will definitely be improved, but if you don't adapt to it, you can't exert your full combat effectiveness in actual combat, and there may be some situations where you use too much force and your footwork is too fast, which is a very deadly situation in battle. If you're unlucky, you could die, and if that happens, it's a big joke.
On this side, he was adapting to the sudden increase in strength, and on the other side, a militiaman ran from the north, and Li Meng realized that it was Brad, who was guarding the bridgehead to the north with Berner, and saw that his right arm was wrapped in a strip of blood-stained cloth, and blood was constantly dripping from it, and he was obviously not lightly injured.
Brad's arrival drew everyone's attention, and even Li Mo stopped and stepped forward to see what was going on.
"Captain, we have been attacked by the undead, Kaji is seriously injured, Samp is also injured, Berner, Berner has been shot in the head by an arrow, has returned to the arms of the Lord of Dawn, and the bridgehead has been lost."
Listening to Brad's staccato words, everyone froze, and to the north of the village that Berner was guarding was a small river, and only a ten-foot-wide wooden bridge connected the village to the outside world, which was the most commonly used connection between Locke Village and the outside world. This loss means that Rock Village has lost contact with the outside world.
And most importantly, the undead can continue to pour into the village through the wooden bridge to slaughter the villagers, without having to break through from here and from the farms to the south.
Originally, Li Mo thought that the undead had lost too much just now and withdrew, but it turned out that he had already broken through one road, so he retreated and prepared to enter the village from the other way. Even so, this place must not be guarded, thinking of this, he looked at Captain Hans in frowning contemplation, wanting to see how he ordered.
"Boys, you've heard that those damn skeletons have entered the village, I don't know how many undead there are, but the villagers are threatened by the undead, so I decided to abandon this place, immediately retreat to the village and kill the undead."
As expected, after a little thought, Captain Hans made the decision to abandon this place and prepare to return to the village to save the villagers, and at the same time, he also said to the well-known Tam, "Tam, you go to Padge now, let him evacuate from the farm back to the village, and find us in the central church of the village." ”
After speaking, he waved the big sword in his hand and walked towards the center of the village.
Limer, on the other hand, supported the wounded Duck and Brad and three other militiamen to follow Hans and walk towards the center of the village.
Along the way, everyone didn't say a word, and there were basically no villagers around, and they all ran to the church in the center of the village. From the momentary memories in his mind, in addition to the mighty warrior Captain Hans, there was also a priest of the Lord of the Dawn in the central church, and a wandering mage in the westernmost part of the village.
As for why a nameless small village is so unreasonable to have so many strong people, he guesses that this is a reason why this is a novice dungeon, these strong people represent different routes, and the reincarnation person can choose the battle route suitable for himself on the initial road when he enters the reincarnation space for the first time, so as not to be ignorant and waste a lot of time.
After all, the creator of this game space must have some purpose in throwing the reincarnation into the space, not just throwing it to death.
The village of Locke is not large, not far from the wheat fields to the church in the center of the village, and after a five-minute trot, they saw the white dome of the church and the large number of panicked villagers gathered around it.
It is estimated that it is only a small village church, and this church does not occupy a large area, even if it is added to the square, it cannot accommodate all the villagers, so except for some who can enter the church, the rest of the villagers can only stay in the square.
Fortunately, the priest of the Lord of the Dawn was calming the villagers outside the church, and kept taking out some holy water and casting healing spells to heal the injured villagers, which calmed the villagers' uneasy feelings.
When Captain Hans and several militiamen entered the square, all the villagers rushed to surround them, asking if they had seen their relatives.
Everyone was silent about this, they saw the villagers along the way, but most of them were already dead, and most of the people who were not dead had already run here, so the villagers' inquiries were only silent in exchange. In the end, it was the priest of the Lord of Dawn named Meyer who came to help them out of the siege of the villagers, so that they could be freed.
Arriving at the church, Duck and Brad were treated by Meyer, and then Captain Hans gathered the four uninjured militiamen and sent them on their separate missions.
