80 days from entering the Dragon Online, the Red Dragon King's Territory (formerly the Terran Territory), the old Lincoln Empire

A young man walks alone through the streets of Zamp City, which is littered with fires and collapsed houses. It wasn't invaded by dragons, on the contrary, there wasn't a single dragon here.

As a northern town, Zampu has been dealing with dragons for a long time. It was located in the northernmost part of the Lincoln Empire, bordering Fort Amaria. Many times, those wyverns will cross the fortress of Amaria and attack it. However, since the collapse of the fortress, the dragons have ignored the small city and the army has advanced south. There was no harassment from the dragons for a while.

But humans are restless creatures, dragons don't invade them, humans do aggression against each other. Since the news of the capture of the Holy Emblem City by the dragon of the Lincoln Empire ten days ago, the Lincoln Empire has officially announced its dissolution. The king of this country, with his ministers and concubines, and some wealthy merchants in the capital, moved south alone and hid in the territory of the dwarves.

When the news spread, people across the country went crazy. Some ambitious conspirators began to organize private armies and support them as kings. They kill and loot everywhere, ** women, more terrible than those dragons.

The depressed city of Zampu in front of him was the result of those private soldiers looting. Zhao Nan came here ten days ago, and in his task bar, there was a task that he had almost forgotten in the past.

Side Quest: Help Poznia find her husband Akers in the northern city of Zamp. Completing the mission rewards 5,000 XP.

The teleportation point of Zampu City was obtained from the map information shared by Su Xiaomei, and after separating from them that day, Zhao Nan accidentally saw it. Although this task is dispensable for Zhao Nan now, based on his inner apologies to Poznia, Zhao Nan still came here to try his luck.

"But in this environment, it is estimated that the officers and soldiers defending the city have either escaped or disbanded, right?" Zhao Nan grabbed his hair, he had been here for ten days, and he had not seen a single officer or soldier at all, so he did not find out about Poznia's husband. He hoped in his heart that Poznia had already come before, found her husband, and the family was reunited and left.

Zhao Nan casually found a room and walked in, it was deserted, and there was no one at all. He could barely find some food from the house, some dry bread, and was about to satisfy his cravings, when a violent sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Nan had a loaf of bread in his mouth, and couldn't help but be curious and go out to take a look. On one side of the street, a group of soldiers on horseback was driving a group of refugees from Zamp City towards him. The armor worn by the soldiers was not uniform, some were just wearing a helmet, some were just wearing a broken piece of leather armor. Obviously, these people were not regular Lincoln Imperial troops.

"Private soldiers?"

Zhao Nan concluded from the clothes of these people that in the past few days in Zampu City, he had seen a lot of such hateful guys who robbed and killed civilians everywhere. Zhao Nan didn't plan to meddle with it, so he simply hid back in the house and continued to enjoy his bread.

There was also a cellar in this hut, and Zhao Nan found some sealed haode cheese from it, and he shouted lucky. Spread the cheese on top of the bread, and the crunchy rusks are added to the smooth cheese for a better taste.

After eating the big meal, Zhao Nan filled some cheese in a small jar, put it in the system backpack, and then returned to the ground. Looking out of the room, the private soldiers were no longer visible.

"These guys have been getting more and more active lately, and it seems that the city is getting more and more peaceful, and since Poznia and Lily are not here, I have to leave. ”

Zhao Nan thought for a while, then opened the system menu bar and pulled out the map. I'm going to find a random town that has been cleared from inside and teleport over.

At this moment, several small figures came out of an alley not far from Zhao Nan. Zhao Nan stopped preparing to teleport, and when he saw the figures clearly, they were three children of about the same age. The children were ragged and apparently abandoned little residents of the city.

The three children also saw Zhao Nan and found that Zhao Nan was wearing a not very uniform armor (the upper body was dark green poisonous dragon heavy armor, and the lower body was gray stone cone lower armor), thinking that he was a private soldier, and they all showed vigilant eyes.

Zhao Nan was furious by a few little kids, and he wanted to go around to another place and use teleportation, but just a few steps away, those little kids stopped him.

"Excuse me, are you a private soldier or a soldier of the Empire?"

If it was a private soldier, those scum would have caught them immediately, but judging from Zhao Nan's behavior of ignoring them, this strangely dressed man was not those private soldiers.

"Neither brother. ”

Zhao Nan said without looking back, and walked away without stopping. However, there was soon a sound of footsteps behind them, and it turned out that the three children had chased after them.

"And you, are you an adventurer?" they gasped, their expressions excited.

"Uh...... Sort of. Zhao Nan replied helplessly, he didn't understand what these children were doing to stop him.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the expressions of the three children became even more excited, and the boy in the lead among them was the first to kneel on the ground, exuding a pleading look.

"Big brother, we want you to save our parents. ”

"Yes, Venerable Adventurer, please help us. The other two children also knelt down and begged.

"Huh?" Zhao Nan was a little stunned.

System: Side quests, help Hughes, a child in distress in Zampu City, rescue their parents from the private soldiers, and complete the quest to gain 30,000 experience points and a piece of green equipment.

Hehe, Brother System is also a very good person.

Seeing that a side quest was triggered, Zhao Nan was also willing to accept the task, anyway, he was not in a hurry. He has seen a lot of those private soldiers, the level is not high, and there are no elite monsters or commander monsters, so it shouldn't be difficult to complete the task. Moreover, he also wants to rub some experience points to reach level 35 as soon as possible.

"Since you are in trouble, as the embodiment of love and courage, we are willing to help you. Zhao Nan patted his chest and said seriously.

"Really, Adventurer, are you really willing to help us?"

"Of course. ”

"Xiexie, Xiexie you. Receiving an affirmative answer, Hughes and they hurriedly knocked their heads a few times. Now they feel that the future is bright, and their parents are right, and the legendary adventurers are indeed enthusiastic and good people.

Zhao Nan didn't know that he had been labeled as a good person, so he asked Hughes to lead the way and find the lair of those private soldiers. From their mouths, they learned that the private soldiers of Zampu City not only killed and looted everywhere, but also arrested some sturdy men to work as coolies, and as for women, they were naturally taken to warm their beds.

Hughes, whose parents were also taken away the other day to protect them.

Along the way, Zhao Nan asked them about Zampu City, although the chance was very small, but he also wanted to seize the opportunity of Zuihou to see if he could find out about Poznia's husband.

"What? Some of the private soldiers were regular soldiers of the Lincoln Empire?" Zhao Nan heard terrible news from Hughes.

Will Poznia's husband be among those private soldiers? Zhao Nan had a thought in his heart.

"Yes, ever since the dragon captured the fortress of Amalia, the soldiers fled without a fight. It's fine that they escaped, but some scum actually joined the ranks of the private soldiers, supported some of the people in power in the city, and killed civilians everywhere. Hughes's eyes were on fire, and at a young age he had already seen the horror of human nature.

"Why don't you flee from this city?" Zhao Nan was a little incomprehensible.

"Mom and Dad are reluctant to leave their homeland, and they say that our country has dissolved and that we can go everywhere. Among the children, a little girl named Zhu Mo'er said this.

"Yes, it's the same wherever you flee, now all over the country, there are either dragons or private soldiers, we are hiding in our hometowns, at least we are familiar with the environment here, and we can organize civilians to rebel against those scum. The youngest child, Linde, said.

After listening to this, Zhao Nan sighed that these children were so mature. He also understood what these people thought, during his stay in Zampu City, he had indeed seen many civilian armed forces fighting against those private soldiers. It's just that the civilians are unarmed, and resistance is just an ant-like struggle.

"By the way, Adventurer, we don't know your name yet. Hughes led the way in front and suddenly turned back and asked.

"Oh, call me Leonardo DiCaprio. Zhao Nan took out the fake name he had used not long ago.

"Leonardo-sama!" the three children said in a respectful tone at the same time.

"Hehe!" Zhao Nan showed an expression of enjoyment.

Hughes seemed to have probed the enemy's lair many times, and quickly led Zhao Nan to the second floor of a dilapidated bungalow. Through the dilapidated window, a magnificent building could be seen not far away.

"Where is the headquarters of the private soldiers, this building used to be the mansion of the city lord of Zampu City, but since the invasion of the dragon and the disintegration of the Lincoln Empire, the private soldiers have killed the city lord and occupied the city lord's mansion as their stronghold. Hughes explained in detail.

"How many of these private soldiers are there?" Zhao Nan asked casually.

"About 500 people, one in five of them are the soldiers defending the city of Zampu, these soldiers who once guarded our city have become the minions of the private soldiers who now kill us. Hughes said harshly.

"500 people?" Zhao Nan looked over from here, and could barely see more than a dozen private soldiers patrolling in front of the City Lord's Mansion, they had no regular equipment, some of them didn't even have weapons, and judging from the names on their heads, it was estimated that they were also more than ten level scum. If all the 500 private soldiers are people of these levels, then it is not impossible for him to kill them alone.

Of course, Zhao Nan is not a bloodthirsty, NPCs are different from wild monsters, as a member of the human race, he has not yet reached the point where he has no psychological pressure to kill all these NPCs.

"Where do your parents estimate to be locked up?" Zhao Nan needed to verify further.

"In the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion. Hughes replied.

"Understand, you're hiding here, I'm going to save people now. Zhao Nan grinned, he already had an idea.

"Wait, Lord Leonardo, don't we have to help you?" Hughes said anxiously.

"Help me when you're a real man. Leaving a cool word, Zhao Nan jumped directly from the window.

Hughes and the others stared blankly at Zhao Nan's figure of killing the enemy camp, and muttered:

"Lord Leonardo...... It's so handsome......"
