A meteor-like orange light came from the west, and the black door panel slowly landed in front of the New Elm Town meeting hall.
"Captain Dire! He's back!"
This handsome black flying sword is no longer a secret here, and the players' mentality has gradually changed from initial envy to deep admiration.
There's nothing more reassuring than finding out you have a strong veteran player on your team.
Luo Jie put the [Ingenious Doll·Lucifer·One Style] into the storage space and walked into the newly decorated meeting hall. As soon as he entered the door, he met the three people who came over after hearing the news, including "I will fight the tiger tonight"
Got it right.
"Captain Dire, where have you been these past few days?"
"I took a trip to the Imperial Capital to find some money for the base."
Luo Jie said with a relaxed expression, picked up the upright walking dog "Xiao Ke" at his feet, opened its mouth with both hands, and started shaking its head and feet.
Wow!
Countless gold coins and gold utensils were spat out from the dog's mouth, mixed with some colorful gems and various exquisite handicrafts, exuding an intoxicating pearlescent quality under the refraction of the zenith sunlight.
"..."
The three of them were so shocked that they were speechless for a moment. They thought that Luo Jie might have gone to fight bandits and eat at the rich, and it would be enough to get back tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but they did not expect that there would be so many.
"Captain Dire, did you... go to the imperial capital to rob the treasury?"
Luo Jie shook his head: "I do have this idea, but the defense there is too tight. The Golden Knights alone have a hundred-man team and various large magic formations. Even if you are all here, you can't attack."
"Emerald Cactus" picked up a beautifully crafted gold wine glass, looked at it carefully and said in surprise: "This... seems to be a funerary object?"
"Blind student, congratulations on discovering Hua Dian!" Luo Jie smiled and snapped his fingers, "This is a burial object from the past dynasties in the royal tomb of the Freyagard Empire."
"We're going to hunt tigers tonight." The three people's eyes widened instantly - why not rob the treasury? This is digging up someone's ancestral grave!
Luo Jie knew what they were worried about, so he waved his hand and reassured: "Until this generation of emperors dies, the imperial tombs will not be opened, and we are not selling these gold objects directly. We will spend a little effort to recast them into gold coins.
Make sure no one can see it."
Jia Shuai thought more carefully and asked: "Um...Captain Night Dire, you didn't leave anything unprocessed, did you? This is a magical world, and it's hard to guarantee that someone will use that kind of magic to recall scenes from the past.
.”
Luo Jie smiled and said nothing, with an enigmatic attitude.
The "Treasures of the Seven Seas" skill of the heroic spirit "Scheherazade" is a void capture. It goes directly into the private treasure house without any movement trace. How can I save the whole thing?
Even with the magic of recalling past scenes, the most you can do is to see all the treasures suddenly disappear out of thin air.
Unfortunately, the "Treasure of the Seven Seas" can only collect unowned property, and cannot be effective for property with clear ownership. Otherwise, the treasury will be emptied, and the Freyagard Empire will collapse without a fight.
"Oh well."
Regardless of whether the empire would discover it or not, the ancestral graves have been dug up anyway, so these burial objects cannot be sent back.
Besides, the current development of New Elm Town does require a large amount of funds to maintain.
Luo Jie was about to ask if anything had happened during his absence in the past few days, when suddenly an angry roar from a young man was heard outside the meeting hall.
"Tiger! Come out here you bastard!"
Luo Jie Xunsheng looked out the window and saw a handsome orc boy standing in the small square outside the meeting hall holding a knife. His eyes were red and his angry expression seemed to be about to choose someone to devour.
It is "Elk", the grandson of the mayor of Elm Village and the only son of the orc girl "Winona".
"Tiger, what on earth have you done that is so outrageous?" Luo Jie looked at the embarrassed man in confusion, "You're still beating Tiger tonight."
The real owner didn't say anything, but the provocateur outside answered for him.
"Tiger! If you're a man, come out and challenge me! I really treat you as a big brother, but you're actually trying to kill me!"
Okay, the case is solved.
Luo Jie said: What the hell can you say? It is not natural for a son to beat his father... Huh? There seems to be something wrong with this logic, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
Facing the strange looks cast by the three people in front of him, the bearded old man's face turned red, he scratched his head and explained: "After the competition that night when I first arrived, "Winona" and I got very close, and we accidentally drank too much in the first few days.
Have some wine..."
Outside the meeting hall, the orc girl "Winona" suddenly appeared out of nowhere, kicked her embarrassing son unconscious, patted the dust on her skirt, and walked straight to the door of the meeting hall.
In order to prevent the burial objects all over the ground from being discovered, Luo Jie asked Jia Shuai to find a cloth to cover them first, while he went out with "Fighting Tigers Tonight" and "Emerald Cactus", and took "Winona"
” Block the door.
"Captain Night Dire, I have something to ask you."
"Oh, about that matter... I will ask Tiger to give you an explanation."
It is very common for players to have sex with the aboriginal people in the fantasy world, or even fall in love. As long as it does not affect the mission strategy, no one will usually accuse them.
However, the situation of the orc girl "Winona" in front of us is quite special. She is the daughter of the mayor of Elm Village, and she is also the next village chief. If this matter is not handled well, it will easily affect the players and El.
The harmonious relationship that the villagers of Mu Village have just established.
"Oh, I got him drunk on purpose. If he doesn't want to, forget it. Don't force him."
"Winona" was very generous when she talked about that night, without the shyness and coquettishness of human women at all, and the orcs' tough customs were evident.
Luo Jie glanced at the embarrassed bearded man next to him and didn't know how to complain.
I thought it was Mi Qingchong who used wine to pretend to be crazy and slept with a beautiful girl. After doing it for a long time, he was tricked into having sex for free...
"We'll talk about the private matter between Tiger and I later." "Winona" handed a white hairband to Luo Jie and begged: "Captain Dire, Lilu is in trouble, please help us!"
Luo Jie had seen that hair tie, which was the accessory that the evil elf "Li Lu Lu" usually used to tie her hair.
His expression became stern, and he frowned and said, "What's going on? Tell me in detail."
"Winona" took a deep breath, calmed her mind a little, and told her what happened not long ago.
This morning, "Winona" and "Lilulu" went to Dormont City to buy some personal belongings. On the way, they accidentally collided with the convoy of the lord "Ferndorf" Marquis. The leading Silver Knight wanted to execute her on the spot. "Li
"Lulu" stood up to intercede for her, but Marquis "Ferndorf" in the carriage took a fancy to him and said that he would let "Winona" go as long as "Lulu" was willing to go to the lord's mansion with him.
"So, 'Li Lu Lu' just left with that fat man with gold teeth?"
Although this situation was sudden, Luo Jie was not surprised.
Western fantasy alien worlds are mostly based on the Ouzhou Middle Ages. The population is not as dense as that of the Eastern world. Even a small principality may have a total population of only a few hundred thousand people.
With such a population base at the county and township levels, the proportion of young women is actually quite low. A beautiful girl like "Li Lu Lu" with long thighs and bulging skin, no matter how she hides it, will sooner or later join the upper class nobles.
The sight of the old man.
In other words, the poop-feeding plot in the original work cannot be avoided at any cost.
"I'm sorry, I caused her trouble."
"Winona" clenched her fists regretfully.
"No, you don't have to blame yourself. You can't do anything in that situation. Even if you resist, Li Lulu will still be taken away." Luo Jie patted "Winona" on the shoulder comfortingly and said to her
Said: "Lilulu is my friend, I will lead people to rescue her, but you should know that if you want to break into the lord's mansion, just our people will definitely not be enough."
Hearing that Luo Jie was willing to take action, "Winona" was overjoyed and said gratefully: "I will convince my father and the villagers of Elm Village."
Luo Jie nodded: "Let me tell you, those who are willing to participate in this operation can come to us to receive a set of armor and weapons."
The small blast furnace designed by the tech girl "Big Star Ringo" has been put into production. Although it is not as ridiculous as the special aluminum alloy in the original work, the steel produced is much better than the mass-produced goods that are purely hand-made in the blacksmith shop. It is available to everyone on the market.
Everything can be considered a top-quality product.
Of course, the real high-quality equipment cannot be compared, but only a few nobles can afford such expensive toys, and they are not suitable for large-scale equipment of soldiers at all.
Time was running out, "Winona" returned to the village to mobilize the villagers, and Luo Jie also held a combat meeting with the "Tiger Fighters Tonight" group on the spot.
"Although it is earlier than expected, everyone should know in their hearts that sooner or later we will have this battle with Marquis Fendorf...and once the war starts, the next step will be a full-scale war with the Freyagard Empire."
Luo Jie's opening remarks did not make the few people present feel uneasy or worried. On the contrary, everyone's eyes were filled with strong fighting spirit.
Compared with the current step-by-step farming and climbing technology trees, head-to-head battlefield killing is what players are good at.
"We are lucky. From the information that the world's number one reporter "Sarutobi Shinobi" has obtained during this period, what we are going to fight next is not a tough battle, but it will not be as mindless as in the original work.
"
With that said, Luo Jie took out a detailed map of the lord's castle.
That pink-haired girl ninja is not that capable of sneaking into the castle. This map was completely drawn by [World Encyclopedia·Longo Longo].
"There are about 300 soldiers stationed in the Lord's Castle, most of them are ordinary soldiers. There are about 10 Silver Knights who are equivalent to the strength of second-level ordinary players. It is said that there is also one first-level magician who is equivalent to the second-level elite players.
official."
"In this raid, we have an absolute advantage in terms of force. Therefore, my request to everyone is to reduce the casualties of the villagers of Elm Village as much as possible-these villagers who were the first to hand in the certificate of surrender will be our future
As the foundation for expanding the team, one less player is a huge loss."
…
The operation of a large army is no better than that of a small team, and requires more preparations. By the time the players and the Elm Village combined forces arrive at the outskirts of the Lord's Castle, it is already dusk.
Even so, this is earlier than the time when the protagonist and his party came to the rescue in the original work. After all, Luo Jie and others have been preparing for a war with the Fendorf leader, purchasing a large number of horses and logistical supplies regardless of the cost.
The horse team of nearly 200 people galloped all the way. It was impossible to conceal their whereabouts. The sentry on the watchtower at the top of the castle had already seen the billowing smoke raised by the horse's hooves from a few kilometers away, and immediately rang the bell to send an emergency alarm to other guards.
.
"Enemy attack! Prepare to fight!"
The strong warrior pushed the winch and lowered the heavy iron gate with a creaking sound. The crossbowmen, carrying bulging quivers on their backs, appeared behind the wall stacks above the city gate, pulling their bowstrings in tense formation and waiting.
Not long after, the thunderous sound of horse hooves could be clearly heard, and a strange-looking four-legged salted fish first entered the defenders' sight.
"Wow haha! Second Battalion Commander, where's my Italian cannon? Pull it out and take a shot from Te Liang!"
Amidst the arrogant laughter, the giant salted fish grabbed the ground with all four legs, and quickly popped out a huge gun barrel more than four meters long from its back, spraying a bright tongue of flame toward the castle hundreds of meters away.
boom--!
The iron gate that had just fallen shattered, and the flying iron fragments pricked the soldiers at the rear, who were covered in blood and screamed in agony.
