What the seven Kezels never expected was that the fact that they did not receive the mission reminder information was not a hidden mission at all, but a complete scam.
Outside the harbor, the primitive tribes in the jungle are real, but the child is fake. It was Su Mei's disguise technique that disguised Jiang Yufeng. She temporarily learned a few English words and her pronunciation was weird, so she could only pretend to be primitive.
The children of the tribe chattered nonsense, took a relic that Gao Xu dug out from the destroyed primitive tribe, and a few crooked paintings, and everything fell into place.
In this way, Kezel and others not only embarked on a road of no return, but also helped Jiang Yufeng solve the problem of origin. Originally, a broken wooden stick could not reveal the identity. If questioned carefully, the flaw would be revealed, but now there is
With the adventurer's guarantee, Asila's attention was drawn to other aspects, allowing Jiang Yufeng to successfully stay in Kurast Harbor and become a plot character!
Who cares about a primitive tribe kid who can’t even speak English??
Isn’t this the best eyeliner???
Jiang Yufeng has come to an end here. When Kezel and his party arrive at the designated location for rescue and start the battle, they will be horrified to find that they have to face not only a boss-level Thorny Wood Demon, but twenty thorns.
Wood Demon, plus ten dwarf wizards who can constantly resurrect bone dwarves and cast spells to block teleportation, and... the Storm Tree!
Tier 3 boss of difficulty level 3!
Logically speaking, such a number of monsters would not gather in one place. Even if it is really a hidden mission location, it is an exaggeration. But under normal circumstances, it would not happen. What if it is man-made?
Just like in the game, if the character controlled by the player pulls a large number of monsters and runs into another map without clearing them, those monsters will not return to their original positions, but will crowd at the exit of the map, waiting for the game characters to come out, and then swarm them!
Now it is a similar principle. Gao Xu used the mercenaries obtained from the World of Fantasy to deliberately attract the surrounding monsters to form an artificial ambush circle. He also used many "humanized" concealment methods. Tifa
He and Su Mei were on standby, ready to supplement their illusions at any time to prevent Kezel and others from detecting them. When they actually entered the designated location, not to mention a temporary team composed of lone reincarnators, even a formal three-difficulty team would have to suffer.
I can’t walk around in circles!
After this battle, this group of lone reincarnations will definitely die. As for whether anyone can return to the space in time, I don’t know, but it’s okay to go back. The survivors who don’t know the secret behind them will only think that they are out of luck.
Acquired a difficult hidden mission, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army. Seeing how miserable these unlucky children were, how could the others dare to enter the dark world again?
The survivors will not come back. Don’t forget, once they die, the two Iron Wolf mercenaries accompanying them will also be unlucky. This is different from the previous promises. It is equivalent to offending Asira, plus not getting anything.
, and a plot progress was wasted. I will definitely not enter this Diablo world again!
And are the mercenaries really dead?
No!
With Tuoba Yu'er and others watching from the sidelines, how could they be allowed to die? However, don't save people immediately. Let the intelligent monsters (dwarf wizards) capture the mercenaries, thus creating a rescue mission!
Because the mercenaries are just accompanying them and are not yet affiliated with the reincarnators, they may be kidnapped and rescued. This time, it is a real hidden mission!
The hidden mission directed by Gao Xu!!
Once you complete this hidden task, you can quickly open Asheara's favorability and ask about the mercenaries!!!
This is the perfect explanation of what it means to kill two birds with one stone. Gao Xu used a few tricks to make the best use of seven weak loners, creating a great start for his side!
Every move of Kezel and others was under the calculation and control of Gao Xu, and everything that followed was no exception. The "rescue" battle started in less than five minutes, and it ended with Kezel and another lone traveler.
The return space ended with the death of all five loners, including Chiglio, and the curtain came to an end.
The girls of Tuoba Yu'er immediately appeared on the scene, destroyed the Thorny Wood Demon who only had a murderous instinct, and asked the dwarf wizard and the Storm Tree to kidnap the two mercenaries. After the protection time passed, they conveniently killed Jiglio and others.
The treasure chest is collected...
Call it a day!
"Great adventurer, something unfortunate has happened again. Two of Iron Wolf's partners disappeared during a rescue operation. This is already the seventh batch recently. Our manpower is becoming increasingly scarce, and the barriers protecting the harbor are becoming increasingly scarce.
We are getting weaker and weaker. I hope you can pay attention to these headaches..."
On the other side, Gao Xu is talking to Asila. With a letter of introduction from Jehain, the leader of Lu Gaoyin, and a high reputation, he can get along much better than Kezel and others.
But what surprised Gao Xu was that from what Asila said, it seemed that this was not the first time that mercenaries had disappeared. There had been six batches in the past few days alone. What was going on?
In the original plot, the Iron Wolf mercenaries did not become idle until the defensive barrier of Kurast Harbor was strengthened. Later, they were sent out by Asheara to conduct reconnaissance missions. Many of them were killed by the Dark Wanderer and Bal. Only a few of them were killed.
He was lucky enough to escape and suffered heavy losses, but he also confirmed the movements of the two hell demons, which was a great achievement.
There is a strict cause-and-effect relationship here, and the order should not be reversed, unless...what changes have occurred?
Under Gao Xu's inquiry, Asila told a plot development that was not in the original plot - the two most powerful mages in the harbor, Heratili and Omus, felt the power of the power in Cui Fanke's temple a few days ago.
They must hate the evil plan that the demon Mephisto is brewing. If he succeeds, it will cause an unprecedented blow to the harbor. Under the severe situation, the Iron Wolf mercenaries have to switch from passive defense to active attack.
Send mercenaries to investigate Mephisto's movements!
The specific time of the change was the day when the Tianxing team prevented Diavolo from rescuing Baal and helped the Dark Wanderer escape during the battle to defend the seal of the ancient Tomb of Tarasha!
Obviously, the Tianxing team has single-handedly changed the main storyline and flapped the butterfly wings. Now is the time to create a chain reaction!
"Mephisto has changed his tactics and is preparing to launch a large-scale attack? No, I'm afraid that's not right!" Gao Xu pondered for a moment and slowly shook his head.
Mephisto is the boss of the three demon gods of hell. He is the first to escape from the seal of the Soul Stone by his own ability. Unfortunately, he has two huge shortcomings at this moment, that is, it consumes too much magic power to escape, and he is not like Diabo.
Law, like Baal, has a powerful human body that can be used and driven. Diavolo forcefully subdued Tyrael with the power of the hero Prince Aidan. Baal inherited Talasha's wisdom and mana and polluted the World Stone.
What does Mephisto have? He is just Archbishop Sakoku of the Zakarum Church. He is a bit of a trick, but he is far behind the first two!
He escaped from the Soul Stone completely on his own, which seemed very powerful, but after he escaped, his vitality and strength were greatly damaged, and he was reduced to the third level of difficulty and fourth level. Therefore, he stayed in the prison of hatred in Cui Fanke Temple because he didn't want to
Leave, but can't!
Staying here, he has a large number of demonized Zakarum cultists to drive and protect him, allowing him to continuously regain his strength. When he goes outside, he will face the risk of being killed. He finally solved the seal problem.
, I don’t want to squat in the black abyss of hell for hundreds of years~~
In view of this, it is impossible for Mephisto to launch a large-scale attack. His strength is in a period of weakness, and there is no reason to send out all his guards to kill people...
"He didn't launch a massive attack, but released a relevant aura. Yin* attacked the plot characters at Kurast Seaport. Could it be that he was just using a false shot to...demonize these plot characters?!"
It didn't take long for Gao Xu to analyze the most likely fact - Mephisto was not attacking Kurast Harbor at all, but was recruiting troops!!!
Ordinary people use money and reputation to recruit soldiers. Mephisto doesn't need it. He directly demonizes it forcefully. Are the believers of the Zakarum Church not stronger than mercenaries? Aren't they just degenerates! By then, everyone will be able to fight well.
, the powerful Iron Wolf mercenaries will become loyal demonized monsters, at least at the boss level, adding to the power of Mephisto's guards!
"Interesting, is this because of Baal's fate to prevent it from happening? It is much better to hate the devil than his foolhardy brother!" Gao Xu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, revealing full interest and joy.
I'm so happy, this is really unintentional!
Originally, when the Samsaras entered the Kurast harbor to complete their mission, they must have followed the order. They first obtained the blade of the ancient religion and strengthened the defensive barrier of the harbor before taking care of the mercenaries. At that time, those missing mercenaries
The soldiers must have been demonized and things have become settled. Apart from freeing them, other methods will cost a lot of money and the gains outweigh the losses...
It's different now. The quest line in Kurast Harbor has just begun. If Mephisto is successfully transformed, this hidden quest will have no meaning. To be precise, the quest will not be in the form of rescue, but as in Chapter 1
In the nun's cemetery mission, go directly to destroy the blood crow.
"Soldiers are very quick, we set off immediately!" Recording the last location of the disappearance of these mercenaries in detail, bidding farewell to Asila, Gao Xu directly used the escape method to meet up with Tuoba Yu'er and the girls, and told the story in general
Once again, he said in a condensed voice, "Fortunately, we have released the bait. All the monsters around Cui Fank are under the control of Mephisto. Follow the Storm Tree and the dwarf wizard, and we should be able to find the place where the mercenaries are trapped..."
Everyone nodded, and a mercenary rescue operation began in full swing!
at the same time.
In Lu Gaoyin's square, dozens of cloaked figures appeared in unison. The two leaders snapped their fingers, and the figures behind them suddenly raised their hands and pointed at the stars, forming a large astrological instrument.
An arrow appears on it...
Pointing directly in the direction of Kurast Harbor!!!
