Chapter 202: Precursor to War
The biggest sequelae of Xu Kai's imagination is that he is easy to wander, and in his distraction, the team faces a group of more than a dozen deserters. Gray gear, which looks very neat. The cavalry was divided into two, and the rest were infantry and archers. There is also a priest and a mage. However, looking at the logo, it belongs to the kind of profession that makes do with the level, and there is not even a sign of the second turn.
On the player's side, the five-man battle is on the rampage. One shot at the face and two in seconds. The thieves immediately fled and departed. The team moved on. Soon they met a group of twenty again. Next met the group of fifty...... The troubled people were secretly frightened and pulled Xu Kai: "Walking, what are you doing?" Only half of the way, the number of the other party is over fifty? And many of them are not full of blood, not like wild monsters, but like real deserters, deserters during the Great War. ”
Xu Kai thought about it and asked, "Could it be that because the number of players exceeds a certain number, what task will be triggered?" ”
The troubled people smiled bitterly: "Don't scare me, I take a dozen people to fight, isn't that looking for death?" ”
"So, don't we know when we get to the Martyrs' Fortress?"
…… Although the number of people did not exceed 50 people, the number of contacts increased frequently. There was even a team of deserters led by the red-clothed second-turn officer. Unfortunately, in the face of any questions from the player, all the deserters chose to answer with weapons. In everyone's confusion, it took more than three hours to finally arrive at the Martyr Fortress.
Towering fortresses are intercepted between humans and orcs and undead. In front of him is a borderless land, also known as the Three Regardless Zones. It's a haven for humans, orcs, and undead criminals.
The Fortress of the Martyrs doesn't look like a big battle at all, and the soldiers guarding the gate are quite dead. One was leaning against the door, and the other was squatting on the ground and counting ants. The dozen or so people who were unfamiliar with it didn't pay attention to it at all and let it in. The inside of the Martyr's Fortress was even more chaotic, with clothes on the city walls and chickens and ducks in the training grounds. Where is a military fortress, it is simply a market. Just ask a few NPCs, and everyone will understand why there are so many deserters.
It is not entirely correct to say that Marshal Blue River is mediocre and incompetent, and he is shrewd and capable in making money. Eat empty salaries, deduct grain and grass and resell them. There are 10,000 people in the army of 100,000 people here who have become deserters because they can't survive. After all, when a soldier goes out hunting, he has to hand over half of his prey, so how can he be a bandit. There are also 20,000 people who have helped Blue River to contract several major projects and are working. It is known as a highly classified military project that does not carry taxes. There are also 20,000 people repatriated, and Blue River is exclusively paid for it. One of his lieutenant generals, called Liufeng, was a general from Liufeng Town, and because he was dissatisfied with Lanhe's style, Lanhe gave him 10,000 people to sit in the mountains on the left flank.
Of the remaining 40,000 people, 10,000 were used as people's husbands, and the people's money naturally fell into Lanhe's pockets. Ten thousand is Lan He's personal entourage, after all, at a critical moment, he wants to suppress others and steal his own job. Of the remaining 20,000, 10,000 places were used by the children of the nobles to gild the fortress of the martyrs. No one collects military salaries in the same way. If someone uses it, come to the fortress to report, and then you can go away. After two or three years, just mention an overseer, and then get a fief or something from the king's side.
Therefore, the real garrison force is only 3,000 chicken soldiers here, and 10,000 people under the command of General Liufeng in the distant mountains who are about to become savages. The Generalissimo of the Blue Wind was not in the fortress, but got a few women to bring seven thousand relatives to protect him, and he was boating on a martyr's lake twenty miles away from the fortress to find his first love.
However, the fortress still kept cronies. When his cronies heard that Xu Kai was from the mage's camp, they didn't dare to sign lazy. Xu Kai couldn't laugh or cry when he saw that the task was completed. Not to mention the army of undead and orcs in this ghost place, even if there are 300 players, it is enough to take the Martyr Fortress. The cronies were very kind to give Xu Kai the permission to use the Martyr Military Teleportation Array, so that Xu Kai could get out of the house quickly.
The more the troubled people wandering around, the more wrong they became, and the news was opened: "Walking, how do I feel that this place will become a player to defend sooner or later." Blue River is a little unimaginable. Is it a foreshadowing for future wars? ”
Xu Kai fully agrees with this idea, NPC, no desire is rigid. It's okay to release so many flaws, this Blue River itself is high-level, playing with women and greedy for money. This means that there will definitely be a war here. It's interesting if you think about it like this. Is it an orc army or an army of the undead? Is the Demon Hunting Continent going to end the harmony of the six kings and enter a state of war?
Xu Kai replied to the message: "Anyway, the fight is also dominated by players. "Humans are connected to the undead and orcs to the east, elves to the west, and dwarves to the north. And orcs and undead and demons are neighbors. The human continent is extended in all directions, and it is indeed the first continent that must be conquered in the war of ambitious kings. Xu Kaibu asked: "Have you found the war machine?" ”
"Yes, I bought a blueprint for the manufacture of a level 50 crossbow. But who's going to use it? "Not only is the carpenter level five required, but the carpenter character level is also required to be level fifty.
"Then it seems that war is not a matter of time and a half. I'll flash first, you look for it slowly. ”
News from troubled times: "Don't go together?" The deserters here are a bit fierce. ”
"Oh, I found someone to open the teleportation array authority."
Great Khan of the Troubled World: "Is this all right?" ”
"Quite surely." Xu Kai took a completely free helicopter and went straight back to McCann.
…… Transfer to the third mission: Challenge Hogan, the eldest son of the orc elder.
As soon as Xu Kai teleported to the orc main city to inquire, he knew that he had become an accomplice. The white-bearded old man is simply plotting to start a war for an orc invasion. Hogan is the future chief of the orcs and a rare dove among the orcs. His position is to ensure that nations live in peace.
According to the orc's principle of the strongest, once Hogan is defeated, he is disqualified from serving as a chief. According to the layout of the orcs, their warriors had previously traveled to various parts of the other five continents, so that once the hawkish chieftain took office, war could break out at any time. But...... War is someone else's business, and if you don't do it with justice, you will lose if you change jobs. Compared to his own one hundred and fifty gold, the weight of the all-race war is too small.
Xu Kai speculated that once the six major races were in civil strife, it was very likely that the Barbarian Continent would start a counterattack, and even the successor of the Dragon King would reappear in the Demon Hunting Continent.
But...... It's none of your business.
Xu Kai found Hogan in the main city council room, and because he had a task, Hogan accepted Xu Kai's challenge very happily. But there is one condition, the loser has to cut off his left ear to the other party. Hogan is said to have hoarded more than one hundred and eighty ears. But Xu Kaijue is still very strong, and he is a fifty-level boss in three turns. The pressure is natural, but it's not without the odds.
Hogan is clearly following the path of the Stick Beast, which, according to him, is comparable to a human knight, while the Blade Beast is comparable to a human soldier level. The name of the three turns of the sword beast is just an orc veteran.
The arena is on!
At a distance of twenty-five meters, Hogan carried a stick on his shoulder with his left hand, and slapped Xu Kaishen with his right hand. Xu Kai saw that his endurance was constantly being extracted by the other party. This level is not comparable to Fengding Weilian. Xu Kai's ghost sword came out and slashed at Hogan's body. Broke Hogan's stamina drain.
Hogan jumped flat on the ground, and a shock wave was unleashed. Xu Kai didn't expect that people still had this ability, and he was unconscious on the spot, and the two traps were broken by ground-based skills. In five seconds, Hogan had already rushed in front of Xu Kai. Then he grabbed Xu Kai with one hand and threw it into the sky, grabbing a wooden stick with both hands to prepare for a home run.
But after all, it was Xu Kai, and when he was thrown into the air, the time of the stun effect had already arrived, and a magic shackle locked Hogan's 'hitting' magic skill. Hogan didn't hesitate to whip Xu Kai with a stick of ordinary attack, which had just landed. The knockback effect activated, and Xu Kai was beaten and flew several meters high.
Xu Kai was still in the air, Hogan grabbed the stick with one hand and stuck it on the ground, and then with a howl, the person rushed in a straight line. Xu Kai saw that he only had half of his life left, so he didn't dare to be careless and teleported away.
System Prompt: Teleport skill upgrade. Level 2, consumes 30 mana, and teleports between 5-20 meters from a certain location. That is, it can teleport in the direction of the direction, but it cannot control the landing point. Also, it hurts to consume thirty mana.
Xu Kai uses teleportation mostly when he escapes, because he uses skills against powerful enemies, and he will naturally have more experience.
As soon as he was reminded by this system message, Xu Kai immediately flipped through the package, the rover gloves. Rover Gloves: Green special equipment. Each run, sprint, or teleport restores 10% health and 10% mana. It was Xu Kai who robbed it from the Holy Alliance. Gloves are the only piece of equipment in the body gear that increases attack damage. Xu Kai's gloves are the best mages in dark gold. Adding knowledge also increases spell power by 10% and reduces spell cooldown by 10%.
But according to the current form, this battle is still grinding. Xu Kai's ghost sword only flew away 5% of Hogan's life. After a few seconds, people recovered fifty percent of their injuries.
The ghost sword came out, and then out of the stone wall, Xu Kai bought a little time, and quickly equipped the Rover Gloves. In 1.5 seconds, the whole body is in a state of stiffness, and when you meet a master, it is likely to be a dead end. Hogan is also a master, but the stone wall is there, and he is not embarrassed to pass through it. The second-level stone wall was okay, and it took Hogan two sticks to break the stone wall.
This has given Xu Kai enough time. As soon as the other party's running ended, Xu Kai made up for it to slow down and began to fly a kite. But after only a few steps, I found that it was not good, and the endurance could only last for ten seconds at most. Since it was a fair arena competition, neither side could drink medicine. Xu Kai can only summon the Book of Evil as a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
A group attack spell was released, and the name was: Predatory fish. The water rises from the bottom, and countless fish rush and run in one direction. Continuously hitting Hogan's body, the damage is not high. But Hogan struggled with the fish. Xu Kaijing fled for his life. Race walking is a trick used by novices to cheat on the endurance of the system. Race walking is fast, and it is judged to be walking, so it not only does not consume stamina, but also restores stamina.
The player's intelligence is limitless.
