171 Executioners in a Blizzard
Clearing his throat, Stellar Remnant said in a slightly low, hoarse voice:
"Okay, before the game starts, there will be a plot as usual, so let's take a look at what the plot says and what mission the 'executioner' has taken this time."
As a "plot party" who has to study thoroughly no matter what game he plays, Zhao Nuo basically won't skip any plot when playing games.
The blood-stained decapitator axe on the screen disappears along with the progress bar that has reached the full grid, followed by a bird's-eye view of the city covered in snow, and the story of the third level of "The Executioner" officially begins:
-- The city of Os, located at the foot of the Bitter Cold Mountains, is still as cold as ever, and the wind is howling and extremely cold. In the extreme cold, even the sun looks extraordinarily pale.
Sitting in the mercenary guild, which was still relatively warm, Gulliver took off his hood to reveal his scarred face, and stared at the girl behind the bar with scarlet eyes:
"Mission accomplished, get the money."
"Well......" The short-haired girl in a bloated lion's skin jacket cowered and took out a cloth bag from under the counter, held it in both hands and handed it to Gulliver.
Shaking the bag in his hand and hearing the "clanging" sound of the gold coins inside, Gulliver tucked the pocket into his coat without even checking it.
These days, the prestige of the "executioner" has spread among the mercenaries of Ostown, and even the mercenary union looks at him differently and does not dare to slack off at all.
"Have you had any recent tasks? Kill a lot of people. Gulliver untied the bone kettle hanging from his belt and took a sip of spicy cider.
"Well, I'll take a look at ......"
The short-haired girl flipped through a stack of parchment in her hand, then found a brand new one and handed it over.
Taking the parchment, Gulliver narrowed his eyes into a viper, and looked at the paper in his hand, written in beautiful flowing gold script:
Kill the Rebels:
Instigated by the secret agent infiltrated in the Morans Empire. As a result, some of the soldiers of the Seventh Legion on the south side of Oss defected, and this group of damned traitors tried to capture the town of Lancott near Oss as a gift to the Morans Empire.
Baroque, the general of the kingdom, has ordered that all rebels be killed and that no prisoners be taken behind, and that all of them be executed on the spot. We have no need and no mercy for traitors.
Kill them all!
After completing the quest, you can receive a reward of 500 gold coins in the Mercenary Guild.
After reading the mission, Gulliver rolled up the parchment and put it in his pocket, nodded and said:
"I'll take this."
Although I don't know how many rebels there are, there are quite a few people just from the introduction, and they should almost meet the requirements of "Andrea".
Moreover, probably because it is too dangerous, the reward for this task is also very rich, five hundred gold coins, which is roughly equivalent to the income of an ordinary family for a year.
Picking up a quill and signing his name on the mercenary union's record sheet, the red-eyed mercenary put on his hood and pushed open the wooden door and walked out of the house under the awe-inspiring gaze of the other mercenaries.
Bone-chilling coldness struck at him, like an invisible sharp blade. But these days, Gulliver is used to the weather in Ostown.
Hiring a coachman on the side of the road, he drove himself out of the south gate of Oss in a tattered carriage, and Gulliver paid the bill with two gold coins, and then trudged forward in the howling wind, stepping on the ankle-high snow.
Due to the recent bad weather, even the horse-drawn carriage charges have been raised. But money doesn't matter to the "executioner" at all, as long as there is enough to eat, he will not starve to death.
Gulliver, wrapped in a wolfskin cloak, slowly walked towards the huge glacier in the distance, from morning to dusk, still not reaching the location of the rebels.
It seems that it will be a long journey, Gulliver let out a long sigh, he felt that the tomahawk behind his back was "hungry. thirsty".
――――――――――
"Hey, it's so boring to watch the plot, I want to watch killing." Christine, who was sitting on the bed behind Zhao Nuo, shook her legs boredly, and complained about Zhao Nuo's resolute behavior of not jumping the plot.
Since it was being broadcast live, Zhao Nuo didn't have time to pay attention to the off-line "princess" now, but continued: "The executioner will probably have to walk for a long time to reach the destination this time, but I don't understand what the significance of such a plot CG is? It looks like there's no place to spend the extra money, and based on my years of experience, I'm going to have some interesting plots coming soon. ”
In fact, he didn't make any predictions...... It's just that "Tian shameless" directly borrowed the experience of the last game.,Because I've seen CG once.,So what's going to happen next.,He's already clear.。
As expected, less than five seconds after he said this, the plot CG really began to turn in a wonderful direction:
In the midst of the howling blizzard, the executioner, dressed in a wolfskin cloak, half-knelt on the snow, stretched out his right hand with dark gray armor, and brushed away a small patch of snow at his feet, revealing a thick dark blue cracked ice.
The picture and storyboard of this shot are undoubtedly a tribute to the awesome CG of an online game back then, but-
Gulliver didn't stick "Andrea" into the ice, blowing away the snow and summoning something. Rather, he frowned slightly because he saw something:
Beneath the ice, there is something behemoth moving at high speed, looking like some kind of giant monster fish, or it could be ......
"Battleship?"
Gulliver muttered under his breath, then quickened his pace, braving the wind and snow to gallop towards the silver-white hills in the distance.
"To be honest, in the era when there were no muskets, it was possible to build a submarine, and I can only think that the technology tree of this world is crooked."
At the same time as Zhao Nuo spoke, Gulliver's figure had turned into a small dot and disappeared into the wind and snow that covered the sky.
Then, the third level of the game officially begins.
From CG to actionable games, the image quality immediately drops a little. Instead of using the popular "real-time animation" technology, the game "Executioner" uses the usual mode of separating CG and the game from the game. Even so, the game's graphics are actually pretty good.
Gulliver climbed up the hill and looked down on the hillside, and he could see the improvised camp at the foot of the hill, which looked very inconspicuous because the top of the tent was covered with snow, but the large number of soldiers walking around inside still revealed their location.
"Now that the enemy's camp has been discovered, and this game is not a stealth genre like Ghost Agent, so just go straight in and kill everyone else."
Zhao Nuo said as he manipulated Gulliver to stand up, pressed left SHIFT to switch to "dash mode", and watched the "executioner" lower his body and suddenly accelerated, rushing towards the hundreds of enemies below.
If it were an ordinary soldier, there was no doubt that such an act would be a death. However, for the executioner with the halo of the protagonist who has killed thousands of people, what will happen next is just a common massacre.
As usual, simple, straightforward and relaxed.
