233, accept the task, think long-term
"Hey, escort? Hyde, it seems like a lot of money to thank you? Ling Dan raised his eyes and saw that there were about four hundred gold coins in this money bag, and the average price of a blue ring was five hundred. If the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info goes well, Hyde can indeed earn dozens of gold coins and make up enough money for a ring.
Ling Dan roughly guessed that this girl named Nana must be Hyde's best friend. In order to cover his lover's departure, Hyde resolutely chose to break off. This emotion alone was enough to make Ling Dan feel admired.
A man who dares to sacrifice his life for his lover is becoming more and more rare in such a turbulent era!
After a little thought, Ling Dan gave his reply: "Say, what else do you have to ask?" I want you to answer me head-on, and you only have one chance. Ling Dan also guessed that Hyde and the girl named Nana must not have reached the point of life and death, which may have something to do with Hyde's usual submissive and nagging personality.
"I want to ...... Can...... Let you ......" Hyde hesitated for a long time, and finally under Ling Dan's encouraging eyes, he mustered up the courage and said loudly: "Yes, Your Excellency! I think my companion may not be out of the enemy's pursuit, and I hope you will join me to rescue my companion! Especially my favorite Nana, I must protect her, even if it costs me my life for it! ”
"That's it! A big man, say it out loud if you want to do it! Ling Dan slapped Hyde on the shoulder, "Then what are you waiting for, we'll leave in a moment!" Your girl is still waiting for you! ”
Ling Dan saw a long-lost simplicity in Hyde, and a side quest was activated at this time.
"Side Quest: Mercenary's Scarlet Romance 2"
"Mission Description: For the sake of his beloved Rog warrior, a desert knight is determined to give his life to buy his teammates time to retreat. If it weren't for you, perhaps he would have been a meal for the ghouls, or perhaps he would have joined the ghouls. But now that you've changed his fate, you should probably keep doing it. Perhaps more fierce battles await you ahead. ”
"Objective: Help Hyde find his teammates."
"Mission requirements: Hyde and Katrina must survive, or the mission fails!"
"Quest Reward: +1 Destiny Points."
Hyde scratched his head embarrassedly, and seemed to be ashamed of his previous timidity: "Then, Your Excellency, when will we leave?" ”
"Come on, make your own bowl of soup! You eat your stomach first, and we're on our way tonight! Uh, I'm going to get a tuba, and in ten minutes, we're going! Ling Dan didn't take the bag of gold coins, but handed over some onion pancakes made of refined wheat flour and butter, "Also, you have to remember that tonight I accepted your temporary invitation to form a team, and then went with you, the captain, to save your beloved girl!" ”
The curtain of the tent hung down behind Ling Dan's back, but the fire burned brighter and brighter in Hyde's eyes.
Of course, Ling Dan went into the grove not for the sake of the tuba, but to rethink his next plan.
Due to the appearance of the ghoul, Ling Dan also had to think cautiously about the immediate action arrangement.
In front of Ling Dan, there are now two choices:
The first option is to immediately go to the Bone Burial Land to see what is going on, after all, it is a cemetery, and it is the most likely place for ghouls to spawn, and it is also relatively close to here.
Ling Dan speculated that it may have been the overlap between the Dota world and the Dark World, which caused the leakage of the undead power on the Lich King's body, thus triggering the starving dead in the Bones Land to passively mutate into ghouls.
But at the same time, it cannot be ruled out that the Scourge Corps is actively producing ghouls there. Looking back at the Immortal Corpse King, who was specially dispatched to the evil cave to produce "enhanced zombies", Ling Dan believed that the actions of the Scourge Legion had already begun, but it would intensify. If we do not nip the momentum in the bud, it will become a big problem in the future.
The second option is to retreat with Hyde first, at least to send Hyde back to a safe area, such as the Icy Plains stronghold.
If you can meet the garrison commander of the Icy Plains and reveal your identity, you may be able to get more military information from her to determine the true origin of these ghouls.
If the ghouls were indeed concentrated in the Buried Bones, then Ling Dan would at least need the forces of the Icy Plains to participate in the blockade of the Buried Bones to prevent the ghouls from spreading on a large scale and causing panic among the population. If ghouls spawn in various places, then Ling Dan must separately investigate the root cause. After all, quite a few ghouls have started to roam the wasteland by now!
From a tactical point of view, it's better to be single.
With no one else on the sidelines watching, Ling Dan could indeed easily summon the Guards Legion for a battle of annihilation. The Burial of Bones is a dead place with no way out, and the Guards currently have enough combat power to encircle and suppress a small area. Even if he comes to two or three heroes of the Scourge, several generals of the Guards Legion have the strength to fight.
But from a strategic point of view, it would be more desirable to temporarily retreat to the icy original stronghold.
However, if you return to the stronghold first, you will be able to get more information and find out the direction of the enemy. If Ling Dan finds the wrong place and pounces, he may also miss the golden time to eliminate ghouls. Even if Ling Dan found the right one, Ling Dan would probably have to face the two natural disaster heroes, Chlobe Ruth and Pugna, and he asked himself if he didn't have the ability to fight one or the other. It would be embarrassing if Xingzang was exposed and forcibly besieged by the Scourge Hero.
Besides, the enemy's power has expanded, and you have to count the dark shifters.
The Countess and the ashes have been brought together with Marbury, and the Immortal King has also been resurrected once. What exactly the Scourges are up to is unknown. But Ling Dan could guess that once they made a move, it would definitely be an earth-shattering move!
Referring to the plot of Warcraft, Ling Dan was also very nervous.
Ling Dan was still unsure whether there was an effect similar to the "natural plague" behind the creation of ghouls. If the ghouls are flooded, not only will the effect of Eldor and Iro's sweep today be greatly reduced, but countless ordinary people will die innocently like the inhabitants of Stratholme, and may even become an army of natural disasters!
Referring to Hyde's task of "investigating the cult", Ling Dan shuddered!
After thinking about it again, Ling Dan was still ready to think about it in the long run.
Ling Dan's combat ability is relatively limited, and he is more of an intelligence officer and staff officer for the Guards Legion. This is also the role positioning that Fario has set for him now. Spying and analyzing intelligence based on his knowledge of the dark world is Ling Dan's most important job.
He can't just take risks. (To be continued.) )
