Chapter 2: The Expeditionary Force Lord's Challenge

Although the time between the game and reality has been pulled to one to four, it does not mean that you can go without sleep for three days in the game, and the mental exhaustion must be eliminated through sleep, and there is no difference between the routine and reality in all games.

Zhang Sheng nibbled on steamed buns all the way, and finally stepped into Yeyu City two days later.

"The expeditionary force camp is still the same shabby."

The impact of the Battle of Heaven Cutting was too great, and many regions were affected by the fall of the gods to the ground, and became forbidden places for the living due to the influence of death and the remnants of the gods, but such a place has both crises and opportunities.

Each of the Nine Kingdoms has two special legions, the Expeditionary Legion and the Pioneer Legion. The Expeditionary Force specializes in exploring the Land of the Fallen Gods, plundering higher resources, searching for the inheritance of the gods, and suppressing the Abyss. The Pioneer Legion is responsible for expanding the wilderness around the kingdom and expanding the territory.

The Pioneer Legion is the easiest way for players to obtain the identity of the lord, similar to the division of ancient Huaxia, but it is not sealed in China, but in foreign countries, and there are many borderless lands in the Great Wilderness, as long as there is the identity of the pioneer lord, how much can be expanded depends on their own abilities.

Pioneer Lords have advantages and constraints.

The advantage is that it is close to the mainland, it is relatively easy to trade with the country, and it is also easier to gather players to build territories, especially large guilds and studios. The constraint is also because it is too close to the mainland, and it is not difficult to obtain the status of a pioneer lord, and the final result is that there will be a bunch of lords crowded together, and the pressure of competition is huge, and they are intrigued with each other, and the war is not extinguished.

In addition to the pioneer lord, the expeditionary force also has the position of lord, but it is extremely crumbling.

The main duty of the Expeditionary Force Lord is to supply the Expeditionary Force, so it will be far from the mainland, and the location is quite random, mainly depending on the location of the Expeditionary Force. Commerce and trade mainly rely on the support of the expeditionary force, and the replenishment of the population is also a big problem, once the expeditionary force returns home, or the battlefield is transferred, the territory is like a kite that has completely broken the line. Moreover, the location of the expeditionary force is extremely dangerous, and there are many strange beasts and monsters affected by the breath of the gods.

However, Zhang Sheng still plans to try the lord of the expeditionary force.

The threshold for the Expeditionary Force Lord is lower than that of the Pioneer Lord, after all, this is a pit, and if you want to become a Pioneer Lord, you need a lot of Pioneer Legion prestige, even if you know the method, you can't brush it out in two or three years.

"Boy, you have come to the wrong place, you should go to the barracks to join the army, the expeditionary force never accepts new recruits." The two veterans who were leisurely enjoying the afternoon sunshine glanced at Zhang Sheng and said lightly.

The expeditionary force does not recruit from the people, but directly draws the elite from the strong armies of all sides, and the expeditionary barracks set up in various places are only the welfare of veterans, and the application for the trial of the lord of the expeditionary force of the wide net plan.

"I'm not here to join the army, I'm here to apply for the Expeditionary Force Lord Trial."

"Oh?" The two veterans suddenly sat up and looked Zhang Sheng up and down.

At this time, Zhang Sheng saw clearly that the two veterans were disabled, one had lost his left arm and the other had lost his right eye.

"Didn't you say that the Heavenly Favored One couldn't even afford to eat, and there were still people who came to apply for the lord's trial."

Because the player can be resurrected repeatedly, and the disability can be restored at a very low cost, it is called "the blessed one" by the aborigines.

"It's because life is so difficult, so I want to try a different way of living."

"Haha, interesting boy!"

"However, although there is no threshold for the Expeditionary Force Lord Trial, not everyone can pass it, you can think about it, once the challenge fails, not only the lord will become a bubble, but even the gate of the expeditionary force will be completely closed to you." The one-eyed veteran grinned.

"Since you're here, you've naturally thought about it."

Abandoning all expeditionary force related missions is indeed a huge loss for the player, but in the early game, it is impossible to get access to expeditionary force missions except through the Expeditionary Force Lord Trial. If you can establish an early advantage in this way, even if the final territory is destroyed, it is acceptable.

"Okay, come with me."

Compared with the regular military camp, the expeditionary military camp is very small and dilapidated, after all, only three or five or seven people need to be placed.

In the expedition hall, Zhang Sheng stood in front of the statue of the god of war, and the two veterans opened the relevant arrangements, and a large white light gushed out.

[System - Liang Expeditionary Force Lord Trial Started, Trial Task Randomly Generated ......]

[System - After the task is generated, the teleportation is turned on.] 】

In a flash, Zhang Sheng had already appeared in a small town, a team of neatly dressed soldiers shuttled by, and the breath of war was blowing in his face.

[System - Trial Quest "Attack of the Dead" is opened. 】

The undead are coming

Challenge Goal 1: Destroy 10,000 undead

Challenge Goal 2: Psionic Researcher [Huang Tao] survives

Challenge Objective 3: The town of the Expeditionary Force has not fallen

This...... It's a bit of bad luck! actually bumped into the army of the undead, which can be said to be a lottery draw.

Trial tasks are all randomly generated, and there are no duplicates of environments and events, although he has seen a few posts about challenge tasks in his previous life, but he can't use them at all.

Affected by the breath of the fallen gods, the undead combine with the remnants of the Grim Reaper's power to create a special group of people, hostile to all living beings, and never die.

Wherever the army of the undead passes, the aura will affect the surrounding environment, and over time, the [Land of the Dead] will be formed. In the land of the dead, all living beings who die will be transformed into undead spirits by themselves, and at the same time, the land of the dead and the undead will make the living people feel disgust and fear, which will naturally have an impact on the morale of the army.

In the land of the dead, unless it is crushed, there is no way for the army of living beings to fight a tug-of-war with the undead, and if one person has been killed on one side, it is equivalent to making up for an undead on the other side, how can this be fought?

Zhang Sheng would rather encounter the Abyss Demon Army than fight the rogue combination of the Earth of the Dead and the Army of the Undead!

"Dudu, the undead have surrounded our town, please make a quick decision!" A man dressed as a general ran to Zhang Sheng and saluted.

His current identity is the governor of the expeditionary force town, supervising the military administration of a town, and all the forces in the town are mobilized by him. But identity is just identity, his current attribute is still a tabula rasa, and he has no bonus to the military, politics, and strategy. "Metropolitan Governor" is a temporary position in a special period, and the status is linked to the scope of authority, supervising the military administration of a town, supervising the military administration of a city, and supervising the military administration of a war zone.

"Let's go up to the watchtower first."

Standing on the watchtower, looking at the white expanse outside the town, Zhang Sheng gasped, this is really surrounded by water! That's definitely over 100,000!

The only thing to be thankful for is that these skeletons are only of the second order, which is only higher than the militia.

"How many soldiers are there in the town?"

"Two thousand fourth-order spear and shield soldiers, one thousand sixth-order light cavalry, and one thousand fourth-order strong archers."

"Only four thousand? What about the generals? What about the strategists? ”

The classes range from the first order to the ninth order, and above the ninth order, there are also Kingdom Guards, legendary troops, mythical troops, and so on.

But at the moment, he only has 4,000 soldiers and horses, the highest is no more than a sixth-order light horse, and he is surrounded to death, against the skeleton soldiers who are only the second order, it seems to have an advantage, but it is suppressed by morale, if there is no commander bonus attribute, he will almost be wiped out if he kills 10,000 himself.

As long as the casualties of the living class reach a certain percentage, the morale will continue to decline until it collapses.

If the morale drops below 70, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will begin to decline, and if the morale exceeds 100, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will increase. The undead do not have a morale setting, and in the land of the dead, the undead are not affected by sunlight and will gain attribute bonuses, which peak at night. It's daytime, and the land of the dead hasn't reached beneath the town's walls, so even if the undead want to attack the city, they will wait until night.

"Only the youngster!"

Miserable!

Zhang Sheng looked at the attributes of the only general, which was related to his future plans.

[Name]: Yu Qing

[Identity]: The town guard of the expeditionary force

[Realm]: Refining Qi into Gang

[Title]: Third-rate General - +10% of your own combat power, -25% damage taken and physical exertion.

[Talent]: Charge - When charging into battle, the "Force" attribute bonus effect is +25%, and the damage taken is -25%.

[Command]: 30 [Brawn]: 70 [Intelligence]: 0 [Politics]: 0

[Perk]: Death Battle - When encircled, gain +1 force and -25% stamina.

It's over, it's actually a pure general!

With only thirty points of command, even the suppressed morale can't be replenished. On this occasion, unless it is a fierce general who can really kill the general and capture the flag, the role of the commander is far greater than that of the general.

In addition to the main properties panel, there are also military subpanels.

Infantry: C Archer: C Cavalry: B Sailor: C Equipment: C

[Siege]: C [Defense]: C [Field Battle]: B [Water Battle]: C

Good guy, 7C general!

These nine military indices start as C, without any bonus, and are B, A, and S, capped at S+, with bonuses of 10%, 20%, 30%, and 50% respectively. Therefore, as far as generals are concerned, even if the "Command" value is the same, they can be distinguished from each other under the gap in talents, titles, specialties, and military sub-panels.

"Journey to the Empire" has a high degree of freedom, there are no career restrictions, skills can be learned as long as the attributes meet the standard, and life skills can be learned everywhere, as long as you have energy. Combat skills are mainly aimed at the player, unless it is some special stunts, and will not be specifically listed on the NPC generals panel.

The level of combat power depends on the title, talent, specialty, force/intelligence, equipment, combat skills, combat awareness, will, and skills.

Like the title of "third-rate general", which belongs to the series of titles of famous generals, command, force, intelligence, and politics, as long as it reaches seventy, it will automatically obtain the corresponding third-rate title. Reaching eighty will grow into a second-rate, ninety will be first-class, ninety-five will be super-first-class, and one hundred will grow into corresponding holy names, such as the Soldier Saint and the Martial Saint.

Health is no longer statistical, and even the invincible strong can be killed by a single hit, which will have a great impact on exhaustion, hunger, and injury.

The undead side is not clear about the situation of the generals for the time being, but the force value of only seventy points, the level of a third-rate general, once they fall into a heavy siege, even if they are not directly hacked to death, they will be consumed, and the effect they can play is effective.

It seems that there is no hope for regular defense and storming, and with the current situation, in ten days at most, the land of the dead will be spread into the town.
