Chapter 226: As far as the eye can see, it is the land I want to conquer
Barren wasteland.
The mercenary William Harrington and his team hid in a towering haystack on a small hillside, and he pressed his body tightly to the ground despite the dirt that had not dried on his clothes.
From time to time, he cautiously raised his head and looked through the gap in the grass at the orc army that was slowly marching with weapons made of wood or bone from a thousand blades away.
The ground was all low Asakusa, and he had a good view.
The average orc is about 2 blades tall, has mostly black eyes, and wears clothes made of animal skins.
The muscles on their bodies were high and full of strength, and the four fangs in their mouths were full of fierceness.
Wild, backward, primitive, strong, these are the words that come to William's mind every time he sees an orc.
As a descendant of the aristocracy, although the family is lonely, William is well-educated, and he is different from the teammates around him who don't even recognize his own name.
"Nicholas, are you sure these orcs are going to a new gathering place??" William looked at the orc army of thousands in the distance, and there was some excitement in his eyes.
Since a mysterious person released a large number of missions to explore the movements of the Barren Wasteland Orc army in the Greentown Mercenary Association a month ago,
Mercenaries like him have appeared in the barren wasteland dozens of times more often than usual during this time.
Anyway, that mysterious man is really bold, as long as you find out the movements of the orcs, you don't need to fight to get the golden Jinpuke.
And the clearer the news and the greater the number of orcs, the more they can get Kimpuk.
If it is confirmed that these people are heading to a new gathering place, and that they are an undiscovered orc army, he will receive at least 50 gold puk.
If we continue to trace the source and find out the specific movements of these orc armies, this bounty may be doubled.
He'd been rewarded with hundreds of gold packs since he took part in the quest to explore the barren wasteland, and he knew how to maximize the benefits of the mysterious man's concerns.
"Of course, I met this group of guys the day before yesterday and wanted to follow them, but I didn't expect to be discovered by them halfway through the track.
I've come back here after I have been resurrected and have studied their route in detail, and have found that the orcs are likely to be relocating their tribe.
Sir William, maybe we're going to make a fortune this time. ”
Nicholas is a skinny player, and his expression is excited at this point.
Ever since he inadvertently joined this mercenary squad a month ago, he'd found his way to survive in this world.
Be a spy for the news.
With the player's ability to resurrect, he can do some dangerous things that the mercenary team would not dare to do, such as tracking the orc army at close range.
And it was only after William discovered the ability of these lost plane adventurers to be resurrected some time ago that he recruited this guy who was still fighting sandbags at the dock into the team.
Since then, it has indeed allowed William to preserve most of his strength in the treacherous barren wasteland with the ability to resurrect this adventurer, and he has been richly rewarded by Kimpuk.
Nicholas also became an honorable alternate member of William's mercenary regiment by virtue of his achievements.
"Very good, pay attention to vigilance, don't let the wolf cavalry of the orcs smell the smell", although William was very happy in his heart, he still maintained enough vigilance.
"Don't worry, Sir William, although the wolf cavalry has a keen sense of smell, the place I have chosen is downwind,
As long as we stay at a distance of a thousand blades, they will not be able to detect us", Nicholas was confident.
During this time, after a thief in the mercenary group gave him the thief's professional skills and helped him change classes, he mastered these skills very quickly.
The wolf cavalry is the ace cavalry of the orcs, with a keen sense of smell, and can often detect distant enemies by smell.
But no matter how keen the sense of smell is, there is a limit, and the wolf cavalry can't smell it outside the thousand blades, and they are still in the downwind, absolutely safe zone.
"Nicholas, you have made a great contribution this time, as long as you complete the task, I will give you 20% of the proceeds of this mission as a reward."
William patted Nicholas lying beside him with satisfaction.
"Our mercenary squad won't treat everyone badly."
Nicholas nodded with a happy expression, this time the mission harvest is at least 50 gold puke, and 20% is 10!!
That's an astronomical sum.
During this time, some local tyrants' closed beta players have already vigorously acquired Kimpuk on the forum because of a miserable start.
Silver Puck is 500 RMB for 1 piece, and 50,000 RMB for one Gold Puke.
In other words, he earned hundreds of thousands of dollars on this mission.
This made Nicholas, who was in an ordinary family on Earth, couldn't help but be excited.
"Thank you for your generosity, Sir William."
The player's level is too low, and at this stage, he is not eligible to register as a mercenary in the Mercenary Guild, so the player can only join the mercenary group of other NPCs.
It's almost impossible to complete these tasks alone with the ability to constantly resurrect to find out the news, and even if the player finds the news, the arrogant NPCs won't pay attention to a rookie.
The player's ability to resurrect is indeed powerful, but if it weren't for William's rein, he would still be carrying sandbags on the dock to earn dozens of copper pukes.
Thinking of this, Nicholas couldn't help but feel sad, he had played so many games, and it was the first time that he was so miserable.
The beginning of hell made him want to give up several times, if it weren't for the fact that he accidentally passed by a small shop with pink magic lamps after carrying sandbags, and saw young women wearing cool clothes inside......
"Whew~"
At that moment, there was a howl of wolves in front of me.
"Bow your head and gather your breath"
William's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately leaned closer to the grass.
Bang bang ~ bang bang ~
William, who was clinging to the ground, felt a rush of footsteps in front of him, and the sound of the wolf marching was often quiet, and this was only the ......
William raised his head slightly, looked through the gap in the grass, and suddenly his clothes were wet with cold sweat.
At the end of his line of sight, thousands of huge wolves with 2.5 blades high and 5 blades long were running across the ground under the control of the orc knights.
William's eyes were sharp, and he noticed that many wolves seemed to be tied to their backs, and when they got closer, their eyes opened suddenly.
Dwarf??
The orc army actually captured so many dwarves??
What's going on??
Why do dwarves end up in the Barren Wasteland?
William's mind was full of doubts, but before he could think about it, the galloping wolf cavalry made him bow his head again.
If he was discovered by so many wolf cavalry, he would not be able to get out of the barren wasteland alive, even if he was given a hundred lives.
It was half a day, and only after the orc army had left and the wolf cavalry had disappeared for a long time did William dare to raise his head again.
At this time, the whole body was already wet with cold sweat.
It was too dangerous, the group of wolf cavalry just now had even approached within their 500 blades, if it weren't for the downwind, they were afraid that they would have already entered the wolf's belly.
"Sir William, do we still need to track the orcs?" Nicholas, who was still very excited, couldn't help but look a little bad at this time
The situation that he might be discovered at that moment was too uncomfortable for him, it was better to be found dead directly, anyway, the level is low now, and the loss of death is not big.
William shook his head, "No, the information we've found is enough, and our mission is to find out the orc's movements rather than figuring out the orc's purpose.
If you keep going, no one in this will survive but you."
After speaking, William seemed to think of something, and said intentionally or unintentionally, "Nicholas, your test has passed.
Go back and sign the contract, the William Mercenary Corps will officially accept you, you will be a part of us from now on, and you will participate in all the benefits of the adventure in the future. ”
Nicholas breathed a sigh of relief.
I've finally joined the organization, and it's too hard to mix alone.
"Sir William......
"No, from now on, you can call me the head or the head, let's go, let's go back and deliver the mission, this time we can earn at least 100 gold Puk.
With so many wolf cavalry, this is a force that can influence a war.
And there are also the dwarves who have been taken captive...... Nicholas, we're going to get rich......."
Nicholas is also in a good mood, MMP, I'm going to get rich too.
50,000 RMB a gold park, I will make a profit before the price has been reduced.
。。。。。。
City of Dawn.
After Li De checked the secret letter in his hand, the joy of forging a high-grade weapon immediately became a little solemn.
Stanley sent news that someone from the Mercenary Guild had handed in a mission and said that he had discovered the movements of the orcs and the thousands of wolf cavalry, and that these wolf cavalry were also taking dwarves captive.
This was supposed to be good news, but the thousands of orc wolf cavalry made his brow furrow...... This is a formidable enemy.
The wolf cavalry is the ace cavalry of the orcs, in which the first level of the wolf is level 5, and the maximum level can reach level 15.
If you want to train wolf cavalry, you must start training when the wolf is still a cub, and you can have a better tacit understanding when you become an adult.
It is also because of this special cultivation method that the wolf cavalry is extremely powerful.
Whether it is the wolf or the knight behind the wolf, the tacit understanding cultivated by the two can make them burst out with one plus one greater than two.
However, although the wolf cavalry is powerful, the cost of cultivation is equally high, and even the orc tribes dare not raise too much, because the barren wasteland is too barren and they can't afford it.
But now this orc tribe that has captured the dwarves has raised thousands of wolf cavalry!! There are so many meanings behind this.
This is not a simple orc tribe.
Just like the Demon Whisper Bat of the Blood Clan, if he can have 5,000 Demon Whisper Bats, then anyone who comes will be jealous.
This is not only the power on the surface, but also the strength behind it.
The wolf cavalry is only exposed to the strength, not exposed to the hidden secrets??
"Amy, Harrison, gather the Bloods and the Whispering Bats at once, and assemble all but the necessary defenders."
Li De's tone was solemn.
"Inform Stanley, Grote, and Betty to get them back to Daybreak right away"
Hearing Li De's sudden order, the surrounding crowd was a little confused, only Valen's face was a little complicated.
"Lord of Kachar, you ......"
Without waiting for Valen to finish speaking, Li De waved his hand and said lightly, "That's right, we have found traces of the orc army, and their wolf cavalry took the dwarves captive......"
His tone paused slightly, and he glanced at the dwarf blacksmith with a deep meaning.
"Valen, give up your pathetic illusions, the Mithril Vein will only belong to the City of Daybreak."
Valen's body shook, his expression was very decadent, although he knew that this scene might come, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
The originally high-spirited body bent down in an instant, and the whole person seemed to age dozens of years in an instant.
"City Lord Cachar, I hope you will keep your promise."
Li De looked at him deeply.
"Don't worry, unless your people raise their swords against me, otherwise, I will keep them safe"
After speaking, he turned around and looked at the residents around him who had already stood up, but they were all very excited to look at him, and his tone was high-pitched.
"My people, I am your lord Kachar.
Today, we have spent countless precious resources to forge two powerful armors, and to tell you the truth, the armor on Corso and Castro cost 100,000 gold puck to buy ore."
Wow~
These words made the surrounding crowd boil instantly, 100,000 gold Puke??!! This is an astronomical amount that no one can imagine.
Many residents earn only a dozen or twenty silver puks a month, and two or three gold puks a year.
Now that it cost 100,000 gold to forge these two sets of armor, it is too exaggerated for Li De to suffocate all the inhabitants with his generosity.
"Why would I spend so much money forging armor??
Because, we are about to wage war against the orcs!! ”
Li De didn't intend to hide it at all, he would do enough propaganda every time he started a war, he wanted to let all the residents know that the Blood Clan was fighting for them and sacrificing for the future of the City of Daybreak.
This is very conducive to cohesion, and the city of dawn can become harmonious so quickly, and it may not be because he started two wars.
Once to the Cyclops, once to the Covenant of Darkness.
External contradictions are often the best way to divert internal contradictions.
"The filthy orcs have taken possession of a vein of Mithril that does not belong to them, a precious vein that makes for stronger weapons, can hold off arrows shot into the hearts of our soldiers, and is a treasure that even dragons will look at.
And the City of Dawn is about to take what does not belong to the orcs from the hands of the dwarf orcs!!
Once again, our soldiers will fight for the City of Daybreak, for every inhabitant!
Every inhabitant of Daybreak, pray for the Light Bloodline.
We will return with a lot of loot.
Everything, for the City of Dawn!! ”
Li De's tone carried a strong incitement, and in just a few words, with his unshakable prestige, the crowd immediately boiled.
"For the City of Dawn!!"
"For the City of Dawn!!"
"For the City of Dawn!!"
From the beginning to the end, everyone's unisonant and powerful shouts resounded throughout the City of Dawn.
There was blood and excitement in everyone's eyes, because this was an order from their great Kachar city lord personally, and no one could doubt the far-sighted vision of the Kachar city lord.
No one doubts that they will be able to win the war!
With the presence of the great Lord of Cachar, the City of Dawn will eventually become an unstoppable existence, and every one of their inhabitants will be a participant and a witness!
Valen, a well-informed master blacksmith, saw this kind of scene, and his eyes were extremely complicated.
Looking at Li De's handsome and elegant figure, he suddenly felt a wave of admiration from the heart.
A vampire, a dark being feared and hated by everyone in the outside world, can be respected and adored by humans from the bottom of their hearts.
How surprising and shocking!!
Such an enemy is too terrible.
If it were possible, he would rather fight with the army of 10,000 orcs again than become an enemy of this vampire city lord.
In the face of the attack of tens of thousands of orc troops, he still has a trace of confidence that he can defeat, but in the face of this mysterious and incomparably intelligent existence with strong wrists, strength more unpredictable than the abyss, he has no confidence.
Li De nodded slightly when he saw the excited scene of the crowd, and the people's hearts were available.
As the dictatorial boss of the military and government, he is very clear about the importance of the people's will, so he has repeatedly asked the Propaganda Department to spare no effort to propagandize.
After almost a year of ideological construction, the current residents' recognition of the City of Dawn and the recognition of the Holy Light Blood Clan is almost full.
So he basically didn't worry about any rebellion in the city of dawn when he was out fighting.
"Nilo, the Daybreak Sect needs to stabilize the people's hearts during this time, and I don't want any problems to arise because of the departure of the Holy Light Blood Clan."
Although the probability of something going wrong was close to zero, Li De still told Nilo a few words.
As for the Dawnbreaker Sect, which already has more than 7,000 believers, as long as the Dawnbreaker Sect is not chaotic, the City of Dawn will not be chaotic.
And with Nilo here, Li De is also very relieved.
"Don't worry, City Lord Kachar, I will manage the Daybreak Sect with my sister" Nicole, the little girl, also came to Li De at this time, blinking and laughing with big eyes.
During this time, Nicole has been following Harrison in the town hall to learn how to deal with government affairs, and after training, Nicole has now improved her abilities in all aspects.
A new interior talent is about to be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
"Okay, you help your sister"
Li De reached out and rubbed the little girl's head, and after a word of encouragement, he left amid the cheers of the residents.
Harrison and Amy immediately followed.
Li De also began to think about it at this time.
How to deal with orcs.
The Mithril vein is a delicious fruit, constantly tempting him.
This is a treasure that can make two countries go to war for this, and now it is only one step away from eating it, and he can't even give up in the face of the dragon.
And one of the key points is that the dwarves, a famous and glorious race, have an unsurpassed ability to forge weapons.
The value of the dwarf itself was not even inferior to the Mithril vein in Lide's opinion.
What is the most precious thing in this world?
Talent.
What the City of Dawn lacks is talent.
