Chapter 273: Black Plateau
The Black Plateau, at the exit of the Valley of the Sacred Domain City, was not very far away by carriage, but in about 2 hours, Lin Han saw the guard post on this black fertile land.
The guard post is also a post station, built like a circular castle, with a moat outside to keep away horses, and in the inner ten-meter city wall, more than a dozen arrow towers are deployed.
"Is it the Sanctuary Eagle Regiment of Sanctuary City?"
Seeing a large number of wagons approaching the post station, the guards came through the open city gates, and an officer asked loudly.
"Yes, Your Excellency, I am the leader of the Eagle Regiment, Lin Han." Lin Han stepped out of the carriage and made contact with the officer.
The officer was going to scold loudly in order to establish his authority, but after seeing Lin Han clearly, his body was stunned, his open mouth closed again, and after a pause for several seconds, he continued with a little twist: "It turned out to be Lord Knight, then I will directly announce this mission." ”
"Our main task this time is to escort the surrounding villagers to Unicorn Town and defend the town from being attacked by monsters!"
"Hmm!" Lin Han could see that it was his aristocratic status that made the other party change his attitude, he nodded slightly and said, "My mercenary group will definitely follow your instructions perfectly, Your Excellency, please give instructions." ”
"Okay." As if he felt that Lin Han should be able to speak, the officer nodded, took out a map and handed it to Lin Han.
There are three red dots on the map, and according to the description, they are the three villages that Lin Han needs to pick up.
To Lin Han's surprise, when he received the map, the prompt actually indicated that as long as one-third of the villagers could reach the town smoothly, the completion of this prelude task would be excellent.
"A legendary-level excellent evaluation, only a third of the villagers need to survive?" Lin Han shook his head, he already knew in his heart that he was afraid that the villagers of those three villages were being hunted by monsters now, and it was not surprising!
The key factor in whether this initial task can be completed well is now time!
Lin Han took the map, rejected the officer's offer to enter the city to replenish supplies, found Wang Ping, the leader of the mercenaries, and began to discuss the map.
"These three villages, 20 kilometers away from this supply point and about 15 kilometers away from each other, are fan-shaped." Wang Ping looked at Lin Han: "The soldiers are divided into three routes, and after picking up the villagers, they will concentrate on that town?" ”
"It seems that this is the best and most time-saving way at the moment, but the three-way soldiers, I'm afraid it will be a little reluctant." Seeing this, Lu Yan was a little worried.
Lin Han was the most experienced among them, and he quickly made up his mind after calculating according to the difficulty and task prompts.
"It's okay, Wang Ping, Lu Yan, you each take 50 mercenaries and go to the two villages on the left and right."
"In the middle, just me, Bai Ziwei, and Sophie Fei will go."
"Three? It won't be too forced. Lu Yan frowned slightly, looking a little worried.
"It's okay, I'm just trying my best to stop the monsters from killing the villagers, and if you succeed, you can immediately take the villagers to my village to gather, and after the gathering, we will set off together, without going through the supply point, directly bypassing this mountain road and arriving at Unicorn Town!"
"Without going through the supply depot?" Wang Ping looked at Lin Han with wide eyes: "Is the captain worried that the target of the supply station is too big, and it will attract monsters to attack on the way back?" ”
"That's for sure, there are monsters on the mountain road, but according to my experience, ...... analyze" Lin Han stretched out his right index finger and gently tapped the map, and said: "The surname of those who encounter the lord level is not big, and their first target will be at least an important target like a supply station." ”
"Okay, let's do it." Lin Han stood up, swept through everyone, and gave an order.
As soon as Lin Han's order came out, Wang Ping and others stopped talking and began to implement it vigorously.
Looking at the separated team, Lin Han and Bai Ziwei Sophie Fei walked lightly, and the speed was much faster than the team's march.
After arriving at the target village first, Lin Han noticed that this village obviously knew about the situation of the monster tide, and in the village square, there were already about 100 peasant soldiers armed with hoes and sickles, and more than 300 dependents were standing behind those peasant soldiers with burdens.
"Whew!"
Behind the wooden fence, a hunter saw Lin Han and the others, and immediately drew his bow and shot a wooden arrow fifty meters away to warn the other party and shouted: "This is Black Cow Village, what do you want to do!" ”
"I'm a mercenary to help you evacuate." Lin Han's body accelerated suddenly, crossed the ground with wooden arrows, and in a few seconds, he crossed a distance of 50 meters, jumped onto the wooden railing, and leaned down to look at the hunters below.
"Mercenaries?" The hunter took a step back, and at only level 12, he instinctively felt Lin Han's strength, and was surprised by the other party's amazing speed.
"What's wrong, Yada?" Noticing the abnormality of the wooden fence and worried about the invasion of monsters, the village chief rushed over with the peasant soldiers, and when he saw Lin Han for the first time, the old village chief, who was about 1.5 meters and had a three-inch white beard, immediately sped up his pace.
Then, he said respectfully to Lin Han: "It turned out to be a respected noble highness who came to our village in person, may I ask...... Are you here to protect us lowly villagers? ”
In his heart, the old village chief hoped that Lin Han could answer yes, but as soon as he asked, he secretly scolded himself for being confused, a nobleman, how could he care about himself, he guessed that he wanted supplies and then hurried back to the city.
"Yes."
The village chief, who heard Lin Han's answer, nodded quickly, and just raised his hand to call out the grocery store owner to supply Lin Han, and then he paused suddenly, turned to look at Lin Han in confusion: "Your Highness, what you just answered is ......"
"Yes?"
Lin Han smiled slightly: "That's right, I was ordered to come to protect you this time, and I am ready to escort you to Unicorn Town." ”
"Ahh The village chief grew his mouth in shock, and then said with excitement on his face: "Thank you so much, Your Highness, for being willing to accept such a task!" ”
Saying that, the village chief quietly glanced at Lin Han, and found that only two girls seemed to be following behind Lin Han, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, although the aura of the two girls was quite amazing, but ...... That's too little, isn't it?
"Your Highness......" The village chief thought that this was a matter of life and death for the whole village, and couldn't help asking: "It takes a lot of manpower to escort our whole village away." ”
"It's nature." Lin Han nodded: "I brought 100 people this time!" ”
"However, they split into two teams and went to the villages near you."
"Huh?" Next to the village chief, several peasant captains were a little flustered: "Then what should we do?" ”
"yes, what to do?"
"Just stay here." Lin Han jumped off the wooden fence, stood on the ground and said loudly: "My people will come soon!" ”
"During this time, it will be up to us to assist you in resisting the monsters!"
