Chapter 54: The Front

Chen Li suddenly realized in his heart that this Lex was a typical reckless character, and he was born with a good physiognomy for those with high force values, while Pato, the quartermaster, was an out-and-out miser, and only money could pry his teeth open.

"You can learn basic melee, basic footwork, and basic stamina from Trainer Rex, up to lv7, and increase the reputation required for each upgrade by 500 points."

Chen Li was a little surprised, compared to the old man he met in the deep space amnesia world, the price given by Pato was half cheaper, and the highest ceiling had also reached the level of lv7, which was already very terrifying.

"Well, of course, if I find myself lacking, I'll ask you for it." , Chen Li temporarily rejected his kindness, because he couldn't upgrade a single skill now.

After continuing to stroll, Chen Li didn't find anything else worth seeing, so he finally came to the command camp.

"Cattisius, you're here, the army is going tonight, let's talk about it when we get to the front line." , The commander waved his hand and motioned for Chen Li to go back and prepare for a rapid march.

It was getting late, and the bright light was now unable to illuminate every part of the barracks, which had to rely on torches to maintain its view.

The Roman soldiers, who had been training for most of the day, were allowed to rest for a while, and they immediately rushed out of the barracks like hungry wolves that had seen meat.

As mentioned earlier, the surroundings of the barracks often attract a large number of businessmen and **, Chen Li hadn't noticed it before, but when it was close to the evening and the sun was setting, these hawkers, the women who were in a sassy position, didn't know where they appeared, and in a very short period of time, they set up a simple street market, next to the barracks.

Chen Li walked the streets that were still loess, watching the hawkers and merchants peddle low-quality liquor and fruit, all kinds of cured or smoked meats, eggs, fish and some knick-knacks to the soldiers.

Next to the women who were in a commotion, there was only a simple tent, they stood in front of the tent, beckoning the soldiers to come and go, once someone met and negotiated the price, they would lower the curtain of the tent, and then there were bursts of gasps and moans from the tent, and the two figures could be faintly seen on the tent as thin as white paper.

Chen Li refused several ** who came forward to ask him if he needed some "fun", or left here, originally he wanted to observe here to see if he could find some hidden tasks or something, isn't it often written in novels: "The protagonist walks on the street, feels a burst of calling, follows the call, he finds a tattered stall, and obtains a rare treasure at a very low price" Such a thing?

Although it turned out that Chen Li was just dreaming.

When the lights were bright and lasted for a while, there were bursts of whistles in the barracks, "Shh~"

Many soldiers who did not have time to lift their pants hurriedly ran out of those warm tents, sorting out their clothes and saying goodbye to someone who was reluctant to give up.

At this time, Chen Li had already returned to the barracks, he packed up his things, rolled up the leather sleeping bag, tied it with hemp rope, and carried it on his back.

Put away the camp, the army began to march forward, the quality of the Roman army is far beyond people's imagination, especially Chen Li, who seems to be a magic version, and the speed of the forced march has almost caught up with the long-distance run.

How long did they run in total? An hour? Four hours? Or eight hours? Chen Li didn't know very well, he only knew that he hadn't stopped since he started running, and the soldiers next to him had made a panting sound like bellows a long time ago, and when Chen Li also began to pant like them, they finally stopped.

Chen Li looked at a dilapidated town not far ahead, made of wood and stone, the originally peaceful and peaceful town has now been destroyed by fire and unknown plague, leaving only some broken walls, the whole town is silent, filled with an ominous atmosphere.

"Set up camp and be vigilant." , the commander gave the order.

There was already a hint of fish belly white on the horizon, and Chen Li realized that he had been running all night.

The soldiers were ordered to rest on the spot, and the commander went to the town with his own guards to investigate the situation.

Riding on a tall horse, the commander led a small group of soldiers to approach the town, but the closer they got, the more uneasy the horses became, but fortunately, everyone was a skilled horseman, and they entered the town without danger.

There seems to be no one left in the shattered town, littered with the remains of houses, and burning wood tells people that this place has not been destroyed for long.

The commander stepped off his horse and into a room without a roof, his instincts told him that there was what he needed, and he ordered his soldiers to begin searching the place, from scattered utensils to fallen stones.

Just as one of the soldiers reached for an upside-down plate, the commander grabbed the soldier's arm and stopped him.

"Sir?" , the soldier was a little puzzled.

The commander did not answer, he picked up the sword in his hand and carefully picked up the plate.

When the plate was opened, under the sunlight, the insects seemed to be burned by fire, emitting green smoke, and soon turned into a puddle of pus.

"Looks like we're in trouble......", the Commander wasn't the first time he had dealt with such a creature, he knew how dangerous it was, and that terrifying contagion was its greatest weapon.

"Let's go, let's go back"

Without saying a word, the commander mounted his horse and returned to the camp with his own guards.

"What about Pato? I want to see him! The first thing the commander did when he returned to the barracks was to find Quartermaster Pato.

"My lord, what are you looking for me?" At this time, Pato didn't have a city painting in front of Chen Li, and a chrysanthemum-like smile bloomed on his face, making his eyes look smaller.

"Equip the whole army with silver-plated weapons at once, not a single one is missing, and if I find that a soldier is missing a weapon, I will only ask you." , the commander unceremoniously and solemnly said this to Pato.

"Yes, yes." , the fat man was resigned, and nervously wiped the sweat off his head.

"Order the whole army, sleep during the day, and fight at night!"

When Chen Li received this news, he knew that something was about to happen, and sure enough, the prompt of the space sounded.

"Your main quest has been updated to move on to the next stage."

"A vampire has infected the entire town, and you need to help the Roman legions clear them of them within 20 days."

"Mission Hint: The Contractor of the Opposing Faction has received the corresponding mission at this time."

"It seems that this is the first mission node, and the contractor of the hostile camp is fighting here......

Chen Li finally remembered what kind of world this was, he was confused about the mission world before, the reason was that he didn't know which plot world this was, but now, combined with vampires, the Roman Empire, and his unintentional state of "God's protection", these keywords, he finally knew what plot he came into.

In the world of the Blood Clan, unlike other cookie-cutter and wonderful vampire girls, the vampires here can be said to be extremely ugly, and they are simply puppets controlled by the Blood Ancestor. The reason why Chen Li didn't recognize it at first was because this mission didn't happen during the plot, but not long after the beginning of the story, a few hundred years after the birth of the Blood Ancestor, he didn't think about it.

Now, Chen Li can't help but sincerely thank the big sisters who baptized him, well, even if he forgives them for their flirtation.

Because Chen Li is a complete melee contractor, even with the protection of his full body armor and mask, he can't guarantee that not a single worm will get into the gap between his armor, and now with these two state skills, Chen Li can go up and fight those parasitic vampires for 300 rounds without any worries.

After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Li still decided to accept a few tasks first to earn a little honor points and evolution points.

When he arrived at the commander's tent, Chen Li asked for some help, and the commander handed him a parchment roll.

"Patrol camp time for 2 hours, reward 200 evolution points, 200 honor points, 3/10 of the number of people received"

"Guarding the granary for 2 hours, rewarding 200 evolution points, 200 honor points, 0/10 of the number of people received"

"1 hour of cleaning time, 100 evolution points, 100 honor points, 0/10 of the number of people received"

"Take care of the horse for 1 hour, reward 100 evolution points, 100 honor points, 0/10 of the number of people received"

"Training soldiers for 1 hour, rewarding 150 evolution points, 150 honor points, 5/5 of the number of people received"

The rest of the tasks were in a gray and unacceptable state, and Chen Li noticed that the task of "training soldiers" had been filled, and the rest of the people were given the task of patrolling the camp.

In general, the task of "training soldiers" is the best to use, not only to get higher benefits per unit of time, but also to be able to have a good relationship with Rex, which is the most important thing, after all, it is not easy to find NPCs like Rex who can increase the basic skill level with less prestige, and it can be directly increased to level 7.

However, reputation points don't mean that you can get them if you want to, so it's a must to get a good relationship with Rex and get a little reduction.

Because the number of people receiving it was full, Chen Li thought about it for a while and accepted the task of guarding the granary, so that he could avoid those contractors to the greatest extent, and the work was relatively easy, and he didn't have to go to the toilet.

After accepting the task, Chen Li walked out of the barracks and walked towards the location of the granary, but he didn't notice that not long after he left, a figure entered the command camp again.
