Chapter 11 Optional Tasks

The killing after entering the Bloody City is fundamentally different from the killing before entering the Bloody City.

The former is a forced act, largely involuntary, and many people are psychologically disgusted and have a fear of death.

The latter is an act of initiative, ignoring all laws and consequences, ready to face sacrifice and death. Regardless of whether they are righteous or evil, after coming to the bloody city, they first have a great psychological advantage.

Therefore, when Hong Lang said the sentence that Shen Yi had killed people before entering the bloody city, it meant that this was a person who had really experienced the bloody wind and rain, unlike those of them who were forced to enter the city to experience the trial of life and death, many people have not yet adjusted psychologically.

Of course, things change when you get into the high-difficulty areas. However, in this low-difficulty area, in the face of Shen Yi's experience, few people can not be shocked.

The group ran down the grove towards the Arnhem Bridge, and the occasional German devil on the road was easily dealt with.

After two battles in Arnhem Town and Creekside, the puzzles of the main quest have been largely completed. Shen Yi's approach can be said to have avoided the danger of weakening to the greatest extent, so that he has hardly encountered much difficulty so far.

Not far away, the Arnhem Bridge was in flames, and the airborne troops of the 2nd Airborne Battalion were desperately grabbing the bridge, as history repeated, they had successfully occupied the northern section of the bridge, but they did not know that their progress had ended here.

Gentle was the first to stop, observe the battlefield with a telescope, and finally affirmed: "The road ahead is basically empty, and there are no enemies left." The Germans were mainly concentrated in the southern section of the bridge, and were fighting with the 2nd Airborne Battalion. The German soldiers surrounding the town have fully occupied the town, and we have taken a detour, and those adventurers who broke through to the south were unlucky, and they were fully flanked by the Germans. However, the good news is that as soon as they are attracted by those adventurers, these Germans will basically not return to the Arnhem Bridge, but go directly to the jungle to deal with the main force of the 1st Airborne Division. ”

Hong Lang asked: "In other words, our main mission has reached this step, as long as we take a few more steps, we can successfully complete it?"

Gentle nodded affirmatively: "That's what I meant." ”

Hong Lang punched his fist with one hand and said excitedly: "It's so cool! It's the first time to complete the task so easily." ”

King Kong also smiled: "If Shen Yi hadn't reminded everyone to gather in one place, and then find a small path to detour, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to complete this task." ”

Hong Lang rolled his eyes: "Lao Tzu won't give him a bloody point to thank him, this kid simply didn't fire a shot later, and he just moved his mouth." ”

Gentle also smiled: "Everyone in charge is like this." As he spoke, he looked at Shen Yi: "The murderer's head." ”

A pun, Shen Yi just didn't hear it: "Since that's the case, let's go and join the 2nd Airborne Battalion first." By the way, ask how many people would like to stay and continue with the optional tasks. ”

To everyone's surprise, there were quite a few adventurers who were willing to stay and carry out optional missions this time.

This is mainly due to this scenario adventure, except for the heavy casualties when landing at the beginning, after the gathering, none of the 22 adventurers died, and the final main quest was easily completed. Perhaps because they felt the strength of the team, many people began to expand their confidence, so their courage also grew.

In addition, the optional mission reward this time is up to 4,000 blood points, as well as 1 skill point, which is also an important factor in attracting everyone to take risks.

Skill points are used to improve skill proficiency. Each time you use an Action Skill, you gain 1 Mastery. Passive skills can only be improved by skill points. Mutation skills can only be increased through proficiency.

Skills are leveled up based on proficiency, and the further you level up, the higher the proficiency requirements become. At first, you only need 400 proficiency points to upgrade your skills, then you need 800 points, and then 1400 points, and the proficiency requirements are always getting higher and higher. And 1 skill point can directly increase 1000 proficiency points. This is a very valuable reward for some special skills that are quite difficult to practice, especially at the cost of consuming a lot of mental power.

Shen Yi's despicable medical skills and mental power probing were already level 2, and this was the result of a month of uninterrupted use and training. Mental power probe requires 3 points of spirit, despicable medical technique requires 2 points of spirit, and increasing the proficiency of each of the two skills by 1 point will consume 5 points of spirit, with Shen Yi's current mental power, he can only use it a total of 6 times, and it will take 5 hours to recover. Excluding sleep, he can only increase his proficiency by 20 points per day. After a month, it took me to increase my proficiency to level 2 and 200 proficiency points, and if I wanted to level up again, I had to wait another month. During that time, in order to practice these two skills, he even developed the habit of getting up in the middle of the night to put his skills.

If you have skill points, Shen Yi's skills can be greatly improved.

There are definitely not a few people like Shen Yi who have an urgent need for skill points, so after some deliberation, as many as 21 of the 22 adventurers finally decided to stay, and only one decided to leave.

Surprisingly, the timid fat man even asked to stay.

Shen Yi asked him why he didn't choose to leave, and this guy actually replied, following behind you, maybe you can mix more blood, so that you will be qualified to lose a few more games in the future. Feelings, he made up his mind to mix up some bloody spots to prepare for the failure of the mission in the future.

Gentle said disdainfully: "I really don't understand how your guy passed the rookie mission in the first place." ”

Hong Lang smiled and said that the novice task also has a task level that is carried out by multiple newcomers together, this fat man is estimated to be a good fate, and he met a few newcomers with better quality and took him into the city. Otherwise, just like his bear, he will have to hang up in the first level.

The fat man nodded again and again and said yes, he had no other skills, this cheeky man was very thick-skinned, and he didn't mind Hong Lang's statement at all.

Shen Yi was a little confused.

Is that really the case?

Capable people usually have a common mentality, that is: not angry at their incompetence, but angry at their incompetence.

It's okay if you don't have the ability, but you can't help but try.

Like a fat man, it is a typical incompetent and indisputable type, Shen Yi can't figure out what kind of newcomer would be willing to accept such a burden.

However, when it comes to others, he doesn't want to think about it, but just smiles: "It's rare that he has lived until now." ”

"That's his luck. Hong Lang was a little unconvinced.

"Luck is also an ability. Shen Yi immediately spoke, and then shrugged: "But it's unreliable, you can only enjoy the surprise of pie falling from the sky when you are unprepared, but you can't be the last reliance when you are desperate." ”

Everyone laughed, it made too much sense.

Anyway, even if the fat man makes it clear that he wants to mix, everyone will not push him away. This is clearly a teamwork task, no matter how small an ant is, it is still meat, and an extra gun is also good.

Since the 21 people chose to stay and carry out the task, everyone rearranged their responsibilities again, and at this time, Shen Yi had already become everyone's leader.

After walking for tens of meters, the Blood Emblem appears with a hint: the main quest is complete, and you can now choose to return or complete the optional quest.

Complete the optional mission Step 1: Rendezvous with the 2nd Airborne Battalion and Lieutenant Colonel Frost.

―――――――――――――

Arnhem originally had two bridges, and the task of the 2nd Airborne Battalion was to capture and keep at least one. But in the process of seizing the bridge, the Germans had already blown one up first.

This forced the 2nd Airborne Battalion to immediately seize another road bridge, but as a result, they lost the opportunity to surprise and were forced to fight head-on.

Lieutenant Colonel Frost, commander of the 2nd Airborne Battalion, was fighting the enemy in the northern section of the bridge.

Opposite him, a large number of German soldiers hit the 2nd Airborne Battalion with heavy artillery fire, unable to lift its head. Although the airborne troops are composed of the most elite fighters, they are unable to carry heavy weapons, and they lack strong firepower to suppress them, so they are at an inherent disadvantage in positional confrontation.

In general, the Airborne Forces are more suitable for raids behind enemy lines than for such large-scale airborne frontal operations.

Especially in the area surrounded by heavy enemy troops, Montgomery wanted to perform a miracle and pull all the best soldiers of the Allied army out to their deaths, which was arguably the biggest failure of the legendary commander's life.

"Emergency call, emergency call, this is the 2nd Airborne Battalion, I'm Frost, the battalion commander, we have taken control of the northern section of the Arnhem Bridge, but the Germans have laid heavy forces here, and their fire is too fierce. I need support, I need support!" Lieutenant Colonel Frost yelled into the microphone.

Above his head were German shells raining down on the position, smashing into a large hole in the ground. A large number of German soldiers frantically poured bullets and rain of bullets on this side, the air was full of firelight, and the shuttled bullets were like rainbows, taking away fresh lives from time to time.

"Ahh

But he can still move, holding his injured leg and shouting.

The situation is changing rapidly, and the 2nd Airborne Battalion, which was still on the offensive just now, is now in a state of confrontation with the Germans, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the Germans will counterattack in a big way, and then completely wipe out the 2nd Airborne Battalion on this bridge.

"I need bomber support!" Frost was still yelling, he was going crazy. His soldiers suffered nearly a third of the casualties in a few hours of fighting, and the Germans carried out a relentless frenzy of attacks on the paratroopers who seized the bridge, shells bombarded indiscriminately, and tanks drove out one after another.

In order to help the paratrooper division complete the task of seizing the bridge, the Allied air force went out again, but unfortunately the German anti-aircraft fire was too fierce, and many air force planes were shot down before they could even reach the Arnhem area. The few planes that arrived at the Arnhem bridge, hurriedly returning after dropping a few bombs, did not contribute to the situation at all.

For example, there were still a few planes flying around today, but they were all Germans, and their shells flew around the positions of the 2nd Airborne Battalion, and they cooperated with 150mm caliber guns to kill the soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion.

A distant answer came from the microphone: "Lieutenant Colonel Frost, unfortunately we can't give you more help in this situation, we need your heroic battle to take the bridge, hold the bridge, and wait for the arrival of the ground forces of the army group." ”

"I need fire support, I need tanks, I need artillery, I just don't need orders! Tell your superiors that if we continue like this, we will all die on the battlefield in less than a day!"

"I will convey your needs, but I warn you, Lieutenant Colonel Frost, not to expect much from this. From the moment you receive the mission, you should be prepared to fight in a difficult environment. ”

"Yes, it is to fight in a difficult environment, not to die in a difficult environment!"

There was silence on the microphone for a while, and then a message came: "May God bless you." ”

The call is dropped.

"Bastard!" Frost yelled, jumping to his feet.

"Frost, where is our main force?" shouted Major Ralph, the deputy battalion commander, at his superiors.

Frost reluctantly said, "They didn't land in this area, but were trapped in the woods south of the small town of Savis. I don't think we're going to be able to wait for reinforcements, and the Allies won't be able to give us more air support. ”

"**!" Ralph yelled angrily, "So we're going to fight alone?"

"I'm afraid that's it. ”

"Oh God!"

God had really appeared, and as these words fell, a soldier came running quickly and shouted: "Lieutenant Colonel, a small force has appeared in our rear, and it seems to be our men as if it were our people. ”

"It's help!" the two battalion commanders were overjoyed at the same time.

However, after seeing clearly that there were only a dozen reinforcements, the two battalion commanders fell silent at the same time.

It seems that it is just a group of scattered guerrillas who have come here to converge.

Hong Lang strode over: "Which one is Lieutenant Colonel Frost? We are the combat team directly under the 1st Airborne Division, and we were ordered to come to support the 2nd Airborne Battalion. ”

"I am. Frost walked out: "How many of you are here?"

"21 pcs. ”

"Just 21 men were sent, not enough to stuff the enemy's teeth. Frost smiled wryly.

Ralph said coldly: "We need at least 2,100 soldiers instead of 21." The government's commitment is always to be compromised...... Damn bureaucrats!"

Shen Yi chuckled and said to Wen Rou: "It seems that we are not favored. ”

Gently pouted: "Even the most basic enhancement is enough to open their eyes." We will let them know that we are worth more than 2100 soldiers. ”

With a soft ding, as the adventurers arrive at the Arnhem Bridge, the optional mission officially begins.

Grab the bridge and hold it for ten days and eight hours.

Additional Team Bonus Mission Launched: Protect the lives of Lieutenant Colonel Frost and Major Ralph. Surviving one person rewards 500 Blood Points.

The soldiers of the 2nd Airborne Battalion are rewarded with 20 Blood Points for each person who survives.

This task reward is a team reward and will be distributed according to the contribution ratio.

Killing your own adventurer during the execution of an optional mission will disqualify you from the team reward distribution.

Those with the highest contribution ratio will be rewarded with special items.

The value of the special reward is subject to the following additional conditions:

For every 10% higher per capita contribution ratio of the surviving adventurers, the reward level will be increased by half a level, and the basic reward will have no level.
