Chapter 31: The Beginning
Su Xin was puzzled, before the battle began, how could the earl have the idea of defeat.
"See for yourself." Knowing that Su Xin was not well informed, Earl Harder traded an urgent letter from the border military intelligence.
After reading it, Su Xin understood, it turned out that two days ago, Arankel heard the news and sent a secret army of two thousand people to infiltrate Islit, intending to target Siri.
"Lord Earl, how many troops can you command?" Su Xin frowned and asked.
I saw Count Harder sigh again and replied: "The army that can really be commanded is only the 1,000 guards directly under it, although Camerin is very good at training soldiers, but he may not be able to escape this internal and external troubles." ”
Seeing this, Su Xin saluted solemnly and said, "I, Su Xin, am willing to sacrifice all my strength for Lord Earl to ensure the safety of my lord's territory." ”
Not only the earl, but even his two sons, who were originally talking and laughing, also looked at Su Xin in surprise at this time, but the resolute expression on Su Xin's face told them that he was definitely not joking.
Earl Harder raised his trembling right hand and waved it at Su Xin, and a document fell into Su Xin's hand.
"Player Su Xin's words trigger the heartstrings of NPCs, get the evaluation of 'Loyal Man', and increase the friendship with Lord Xili."
"The player Susin accepts the appointment of Earl Hard, and leads the Cyri Guard, time limit: 3 hours."
Earl Harder smiled and said, "Go, young man, the light of the Lord and the King is with you. ”
"Yes, sir." Su Xin finished his salute and exited the room.
There were still ten minutes left before the battle began, and Su Xin stood on the wall of the outer castle and looked down for a while, and there were still many players wandering around in the open space outside the castle in twos and threes, without any sense of urgency in the blood flowing.
After a while, a new post appeared on the forum of "The Name of the Watershed" that was pinned, and the poster was signed "Su Xin". For a while, countless casual players, professional players, and gang players clicked in, but Su Xin did not explain the situation in the post, but only invited famous people in the game to come to Xili to watch the grand occasion of the first NPC civil strife battle.
However, it was soon revealed that someone had a way to obtain the "Military Medal" at the bottom of the post, and in an instant, tens of millions of players rushed to Xili.
Su Xin looked at the rolling dust coming from afar, clutched the hilt of the sword in his hand tightly and shouted, "Close the city gate and prepare for battle." ”
The "Squeak Squeak Squeak......" Chain Drawbridge was quickly put away by the guards, and those wandering casual players quickly dodged away when they saw this.
Because it was to defend the city, Su Xin put "preserving strength" in the first place, and did not wait for those rebel troops with dilapidated equipment to approach, so he ordered archery, and catapults, etc., have not been developed by the system, so they are useless. That's right, this is the era of cold weapons.
As for the player, at level ten there is a chance to choose a class: Warrior, Archer, Priest. Of course, this is only the initial class, and at level 40 there will be a second class change: warriors are divided into warriors (foot) and ironclad riders (horses), archers are divided into archers and assassins, priests are divided into doctors and priests, and at level 60 there is a chance to strengthen the profession. However, looking at the slower and slower upgrade speed, I don't know what year or month it will take to reach level 60.
"Defense! Defense! "Immediately under the city wall, many people took out simple wooden shields to block in front of them, after all, it was not the first time that they had rioted and revolted, and they were naturally very skilled in dealing with it. The marching team was still slowly moving forward, Su Xin frowned, pulled over a guard and whispered for a while.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it immediately." The guard nodded and left.
The arrows on the city wall were no longer so dense, but the people under the city still did not dare to be careless, and slowly approached the moat.
"My lord, they're ready to pave the bridge." The guards on the side reminded Su Xin, but Su Xin didn't care about the bamboo bridge at all, all he cared about now was the dark chess from Arankel.
"Kill! Attack it! Seeing that they had reached the bottom of the city wall, the archers in the city could no longer help their own people, and all the rebels excitedly dropped their wooden shields and began to climb the ladder to the city.
Su Xin said to those players at this time: "Your task now is to push the ladder off when it's time for them to climb it, and if you can't push it off, you have to use a weapon to chop the ladder into waste." ”
"What about you?" One player asked, and Su Xin's liver fire almost burst into flames.
"I'm sorry, Boss Su, I'll teach this kid a good lesson." The other player hurriedly dragged the nerd player who was talking aside, and Su Xin gritted his teeth and kicked the wall hard, which was considered to be a sulking.
After a while, Su Xin began to find that the mission failure rate began to gradually decline, and the rear of the rebel troops also caused a lot of riots.
"It's now!" Su Xin turned his head to the bridge guards standing on both sides of the corner and said, "Put the bridge!" Kill everybody! ”
"But my lord......" An NPC hurriedly stood up to stop him: "There are still so many people at the city gate now, if you attack rashly, something may happen." ”
"You just have to shout 'reinforcements are coming' while rushing, and you don't have to worry."
"But ......"
"No, but!" Su Xin showed his knight's sword and said: "You only have two paths: obeying orders and dying under my sword, if you don't act, I will do it." ”
The "Squeak ......Squeak" drawbridge was slowly lowered, and just when the rebellious troops under the city thought that the lord had surrendered and cheered, Su Xin rushed out with the guards in the lead.
"Reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming! ”
The sound of the trumpets on the walls of the "Ula ......" also sounded, and this uplifting sound gave confidence to all the soldiers of the guards. The dizzy rebel troops became nervous, and some people turned their heads to look at the back of the group, and sure enough, they were in a state of confusion.
In this way, the battle of the vanguard of the uprising fell to the bottom, and those who did not want to die jumped into the water to flee for their lives, for fear that they would be trampled to death under the rapid hooves of the horses.
"It's a game, thankfully." Su Xin said secretly.
In fact, the guards that Su Xin had ordered before were only going to issue missions to those players who had not yet participated in the battle, and this weird NPC dressed as a servant had not crossed the moat in a small boat, so it was seen by players wandering around, and released such a [harassment rear] story mission.
It was similar to what Su Xin expected at the beginning, as soon as the opponent's formation was elongated, it would be inconvenient for information exchange, so as soon as there was a commotion, the morale of the army would be shaken. But Su Xin was a little unexpected, although the player's current level and equipment are still very backward, and it is too small compared to the NPCs who are level fifty or sixty at every turn, but the tiger can't stand the wolves, and seven or eight hundred players bite the "butt" of the rebel army one by one, and it still feels quite painful.
It was precisely because the riot was big enough that the guards under Su Xin's command had the opportunity to exchange small casualties for this huge victory.
"Ding. Player Su Xin completes the [Support Castle] quest and gets the quest reward: 200 gold coins, 100 reputation, and 200 military medals. ”
"Player Su Xin successfully led the battle to victory and won the title of [Commander]."
