The next day, early morning.
At breakfast time, Ding Jilin, who had just finished washing, hurried to the restaurant. When he sat down next to Lin Xixi, he found that she had already chosen breakfast for him.
Today is not spicy soup + fried dough sticks, but cake, vegetable salad and milk. Although it is said to have high nutritional value, it is not as delicious as spicy soup at all.
"Go offline early at noon and accompany me to Shanghai in the afternoon." Lin Xixi said.
"ah?"
Ding Jilin was surprised, "Why are you going to Shanghai?"
"A system update conference for the world." Lin Xixi said, "All the leaders of the top 20 guilds in the national server have received invitations. I forgot to tell you yesterday. Anyway, you have nothing to do, so just come with me."
"OK."
Ding Jilin nodded, "Let Lao Qin take someone to drive, and we can just sit in the back seat and enjoy the ride."
"Um."
Lin Xixi nodded with a smile. On the side, Chen Jia looked up at Shen Bingyue. Shen Bingyue immediately smiled and said, "Don't look at me. Neither of us is qualified to participate in such a high-end summit. Work hard, Chen Xiaojia, and become the number one player in the national server in the future."
God, by then if the official dares not to invite you, others will look down upon it."
Chen Jiaqian smiled slightly, "That afternoon, Sister Shuizi, I, and Qixin Haitang will form a pure leveling team. Let's go to the second floor of Icewind Valley to spawn monsters!"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Shen Bingyue nodded happily.
Ding Jilin didn't care so much. After devouring breakfast, it was time to go online to continue leveling and fight for reputation points.
…
"Whoosh!"
A ray of white light flew away, and Ding Jilin appeared in the Xifeng Camp. Not far away, a group of soldiers from the Xifeng Camp were practicing cavalry charging into the formation. The sound of hoofbeats was quite shocking.
On the side, there are knight servants holding bundles of wooden spears and wooden swords stacked together. There is no way, although the equipment of the West Wind Camp is slightly stronger than that of ordinary external cavalry, it is not much stronger. Many of the knights
The soldiers' armor and weapons all need to be repaired, but there are no supplies to replenish them. There is nothing we can do.
Ding Jilin frowned and thought it was time to suggest something to Shi Lan. If this continues, it will definitely be a dead end.
"Whoosh!"
Not far away, a beautiful figure floated down from the observation deck. It was none other than the elf beauty Nana. She was fighting with a bow behind her. She looked at Ding Jilin with a pair of eyes and said with a smile, "You are finally back. Not long ago, Master Shi Lan sent someone
Come to inform you to see her."
"oh?"
Ding Jilin looked stern, and seemed to have a mission. He smiled and said, "Then I'll go there. It just so happens that I also have something to talk to her about."
"Well, I'm here at Xifeng Camp, so don't worry."
Nana raised her eyebrows slightly. Looking at her, she didn't look like the commander of the West Wind Battalion who was controlling Ding Jilin, but more like a virtuous housekeeper who helped Ding Jilin take care of everything. She was immediately disappointed.
Ding Jilin was quite relieved to find out that the person Shi Lan sent to him was not Zhao Gang, but Zhang Dabiao.
He hurriedly left the camp, and in order to save the number of uses of the teleportation stone, he galloped to the Sky Tower, and immediately came to the top floor from the elevator. After the announcement, he was led up by a Fire Lotus Cavalry holding Fang Tian's painted halberd.
The command hall where Shi Lan is located.
"You came."
Shi Lan crossed her arms and turned her back to Ding Jilin, looking at the desolation in the north of the Sky Tower.
"Um."
Ding Jilin said, "Master Shi Lan, do you have something to do with me?"
"Tell me about you first."
Shi Lan said, "Don't you also have something to ask me about?"
Ding Jilin was shocked, "You...how did you know?"
Shi Lan said calmly, "Nothing about the Sky Tower can escape my eyes and ears."
"Fine."
Ding Jilin said in a deep voice, "After several battles, many of the equipment and instruments of the Xifeng Battalion need to be replaced. The weapons of many external cavalry are seriously damaged and their power is greatly reduced. This will definitely not work. What I mean is, please help me."
It’s better to ask someone to fish than to fish. Since the royal family of Yandi City is unwilling to give us more weapons and armor, why don’t we forge them ourselves?”
"Make it yourself?"
Shi Lan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Okay, actually, that's exactly why I called you here."
Ding Jilin shuddered and immediately clasped his fists and said, "Sir, please give me your instructions!"
"Um."
Shi Lan whispered, "Ding Jilin, in fact, there was a war for mineral deposits near the Sky Tower decades ago. Unfortunately, we were defeated. The Abyss sent at least 200,000 elite troops to defeat our 90,000 army. In the end, that
The iron ore called Jinhua Mine developed by the human race has now fallen into the hands of the Abyss."
Her beautiful eyes were like water, and she looked at Ding Jilin and continued, "I heard that the mine is now guarded by a demonic dragon from the abyss. Therefore, I order you to immediately lead the West Wind Camp to go out to kill the abyssal demonic dragon and collect the golden flower mine."
Rest assured, I will let Shen Shuang lead the Fire Lotus Iron Cavalry to attack north to cover your actions. Neither the undead nor the abyss dare to act rashly. They can only watch the Golden Flower Mine return to the hands of the human race.
.”
Ding Jilin nodded, "Yes!"
The next second, a pleasant system ringtone rang in my ears——
"Ding!"
The system prompts you to accept the main quest Steelmaking!
In the first stage of the mission content, lead the Xifeng Battalion to the Golden Flower Mine in the northeast, kill the abyss defenders outside the mine, and then enter the mine to challenge
Abyss Demonic Dragon. After killing the Abyss Demonic Dragon, you will successfully occupy the mine. Bringing the head of the Abyss Demonic Dragon back to Shi Lan will start the second phase of the mission.
…
"..."
Ding Jilin took a deep breath, ecstatic in his heart. Who would have thought that what was triggered was actually an SS-level mission? This should be the most difficult and lucrative mission at present, and it is divided into two stages, which must be quite cumbersome.
"Don't worry, sir."
He cupped his fist lightly and said, "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
"Go ahead."
Shi Lan pursed her red lips and said, "In this battle, the first step is to recapture the Jinhua Mine. After recapturing the mineral deposits, we can have iron ore and produce an endless supply of raw materials. Then we can find craftsmen to forge steel and cast iron. Recapturing the Jinhua Mine is
The premise of all actions, therefore, even if the West Wind Camp is seriously damaged, we must regain the Jinhua Mine!"
"knew."
Ding Jilin nodded, "I will try to regain the Jinhua Mine with minimal losses to the West Wind Camp. Please rest assured."
With that said, Ding Jilin turned around and went straight to Xifeng Camp.
…
This time, Ding Jilin took away all the troops of Xifeng Camp, even Nana, leaving only hundreds of knight servants refreshed in the system to guard the camp. These servants were responsible for feeding the horses and keeping the weapons and armor.
Wait, the combat power is 5, and it’s still okay to leave a full look.
Not long after, three thousand cavalrymen from the West Wind Camp appeared in a wilderness in the southwest.
Further forward, a bloody patch of blood appeared on the big map. There was an abyssal lair. Although it was only the first stage of the mission, it was an SS-level mission after all, so the garrison strength of this abyssal lair must be quite terrifying.
"rustle……"
Stepping on the snow, Ding Jilin led everyone to a snow-covered hill. Looking down, he saw densely packed Abyssal troops outside the Jinhua Mine. Among them, there were about 5,000+ Abyss Knights, and the surrounding area was densely packed.
Archers of the Abyss.
After seeing the distribution of troops in this abyss lair, Ding Jilin immediately had an idea in his mind.
He pointed downward and said, "Nana, I will go deep alone in a while and attract those thousands of abyss knights by myself. You lead the West Wind Battalion to attack those abyss archers from the left wing. It will not be a problem for the heavy cavalry to defeat the archers. Try your best."
Reduce losses and don't get entangled with the Abyss Knights. If the Abyss Knights catch up, lead the Zephyr Battalion to retreat and evade."
"how about you?"
Nana's big watery eyes were covered with mist. "If I leave you alone, wouldn't you be chopped into pieces by the Knights of the Abyss? Wouldn't our West Wind Camp lose its commander?"
"The crow's mouth..."
r>
Ding Jilin grinned, "Okay, I'm going to fight the Abyss Knights. Once you see me leading the Abyss Knights away, you must be extra careful if you lead the West Wind Battalion in a surprise attack!"
"Um!"
Nana smiled lightly and said, "Leave it to me!"
…
The next moment, Ding Jilin held the flaming sword, stepped on the snow, and rushed down the hill. He quickly switched into the assassin form and entered the stealth state. After passing through the dense abyss archers to refresh the area, he appeared and ran straight ahead.
The Abyss Knights defended the army and left.
"Um?"
An abyss knight looked sideways at Ding Jilin and said calmly, "Brothers, there is a human bastard over there, someone go and chop him down for me!"
Dozens of abyss knights rode away.
Ding Jilin was stunned, this was too little to attract monsters, so he immediately let go of his voice and started taunting, shouting while galloping, "Knights of the Abyss, I heard that you are the most elite soldiers in the Abyss, but why do I think you are just a bunch of people?"
As for garbage, if the abyss is filled with garbage like you, then the abyss will be waiting to be trampled by us humans!"
"You bastard!"
A large group of Abyss Knights drew their swords in unison, each with a fierce look in their eyes. Wherever Ding Jilin's voice reached, a group of Abyss Knights were all seduced to the level of hatred.
Ding Jilin was also unambiguous, weaving back and forth among the monsters, shouting and cursing constantly. When he ran out of health, he would turn around and break the barrier with a shot. The health bar would be almost full, and then continue running.
In the blink of an eye, 5,000+ Abyss Knights outside the Jinhua Mine were chasing Ding Jilin, and were finally led into a valley. Ding Jilin suddenly turned around without saying a word, and directly triggered the thunder flow, and the super giant panda Huahua was summoned.
, raging flames were raging among the monsters. To put it bluntly, these 5000+ abyss knights were not enough to watch.
The only thing that can pose a threat to Ding Jilin in this first phase of the mission is probably the Abyss Demonic Dragon.
…
On the hill, a group of cavalrymen from Xifeng Camp were stunned.
"Our Lord, are we too powerful? We can actually trigger the thunder of heaven and earth..." A Qianqi Commander looked shocked and said, "Could it be that... Your Excellency has already stepped into the Holy Realm and has the power to move mountains and seas?"
Nana smiled lazily, "It's just a skill to control the laws of elements. Don't be in a daze. Attack and kill all the abyss archers outside!"
"yes!"
Iron hooves rolled, and 3,000 West Wind battalions fell from the sky, directly crushing the position of the abyss archers.
A Fire Lotus Cavalry led the way, and after stabbing three archers with his spear in succession, there was a sudden "ding" sound, and a gold star pattern appeared under the health bar above his head, and the star actually rose.
