Chapter four hundred and thirty first determination
.431 Decision
Not walking far forward, Liu Yifei saw the small town stronghold of the human camp from a distance. At the same time, the crossbow guards on the watchtower in the small town also spotted Liu Yifei. Under the guard of the guards,
The military forces in the town were mobilized, and within a short time, dozens of guards with crossbows appeared on the stone wall in Liu Yifei's direction. It seemed that the town was also very careful about Liu Yifei's arrival... com
Smiling slightly, Liu Yifei didn't pay too much attention. Firstly, he still had a mission given by the system. Secondly, he had already asked Gregory to leave in a detour, and the only one following him now was Sword Tong Milank.
North is alone. As long as he doesn't come, there must be no reason for the other party to attack him.
"Who is standing in front of you? Why are you trespassing on the military restricted area? This place has been put under martial law by the lord of the City of Glory Rosenhager. No one is allowed to enter without the order of the lord of the city."
Not long after Liu Yifei and Milan Knox walked forward, the town gate opened and a group of spearmen came out in formation. One of them, a swordsman in a particularly handsome dress, stepped out of the crowd and faced Liu Yifei.
shouted loudly.
But what Liu Yifei didn't expect was that, listening to the swordsman's voice, he was actually a woman.
"Humph, you damn guy, why do you care so much about these sentries here? It's probably because of this woman, right? Soul Egg"
Although he hasn't seen the other party's true face in Lushan yet, this clear and pleasant voice alone is enough to make Liu Yifei lustful. Especially he is also very annoyed that the little city lieutenant forced him to come here to investigate some meaningless things.
They had to leave everyone in such a dangerous place for a few hours. It was impossible for Liu Yifei not to want to tear that guy apart.
However, although he was a little angry in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face. No matter what problem happened here, he had to find a way to solve it. Otherwise, he was afraid that he would not have much military power left outside the City of Glory.
Liu Yifei didn't dare to have high expectations for those players who could only be regarded as stragglers. If nothing else, as long as they faced a group of invincible enemies, he would be able to scare most of them.
scare away
"Ah, don't shoot. Don't shoot. We are all our own people. I am a passing little lord. I was entrusted by the City Lieutenant of the City of Glory to come here to investigate the reason why the swamp post lost contact.
If you encounter any trouble, I will give you as much support as possible."
Liu Yifei raised his hands slightly to indicate that he was not in danger, and said slowly.
"Ah? Are you the reinforcement sent by Novi? That's great. I knew that guy wouldn't leave me alone. That's great. I was worried that it would be too late to retreat, but he actually knew how to send someone here.
Reinforce me
Great, that soul egg guy is back this time, I have to reward him for his deeds.
By the way, where are your troops? How many troops did you bring? Where are they?"
Obviously, Liu Yifei felt at this moment that he seemed to have encountered the legendary "hu bottle"
This woman believed Liu Yifei's words without saying a word. Although Liu Yifei understood that this must be a plot arranged by the system, wasn't it too mentally retarded? Let's just say it was a jn spy who came to fish in troubled waters, this stupid woman
Don’t you have to accept everything as ordered?
At that time, if some uneasy and well-intentioned JN spies are released into the city, God knows how big the trap will be.
Of course, after listening to the other party first praying and then asking about the basic situation of his troops, Liu Yifei also realized that this guy could not have too high military literacy. If he wanted to count on her to complete the battle, I'm afraid it would not be difficult.
Normally high
"Well, I'm sorry. I didn't know what kind of trouble you encountered before. Therefore, although I have more than 30,000 troops, they all stayed in the City of Glory. Currently, there is only one subordinate who came with me.
That’s all.”
"What? You idiot, you only brought one person out? This is too outrageous for you, isn't it? Aren't you afraid that if you encounter a homeless bandit on the road or something, they will kill you? You are really a brainless person.
guy"
Liu Yifei almost went crazy when he heard the other party act like this.
Your sister, you are a lord after all. If you say that a lord is useless without soldiers, then the lord is too weak, right? At least he should have the strength to protect himself. Does this woman think that she is a loser?
Is it a "soft persimmon"?
"Dear lady, how about we talk about the actual problems you encounter first? The key is to clarify the problem first.
And although I only brought one subordinate, my personal attendant is quite strong, and if things are not too complicated, he can still help."
At this moment, Liu Yifei had already summoned Milanknos who was hiding in the bushes and was ready to pounce at any time.
When Milan Knox appeared on the scene, he immediately shocked the woman with a bottle opposite him.
Apart from anything else, Milanknos's two-and-a-half-meter tall figure alone is enough to intimidate people, and they seem to have their own way of identifying each other's strength.
As soon as the woman saw Miraclenos, her beautiful eyes covered by a pair of helmets began to radiate with dazzling light, as if she had seen some rare treasure.
As the saying goes, the leader is the leader, Liu Yifei, the gold-medal thug, was pulled out. The woman opposite could not help but look at her with a high regard. She even spoke with a bit of respect in her tone:
"Brave and just Lord of Liberty, please come to town. We are really in big trouble right now, but I believe that with your help, we will be quite sure to overcome the difficulty."
So under the other party's warm invitation, Liu Yifei and Milan Knox were invited into the town.
After detailed discussions with the other party, Liu Yifei finally grasped the current situation called "Miracle Swamp".
The female NPC swordsman in front of Liu Yifei is named Somel. It seems that she is not very powerful. She should be a special NPC such as rare elites. The strength of these guys is obviously better than that of normal soldiers of the same level.
But it is far from the boss, but his intelligence level is not low, so he can be regarded as an ideal auxiliary expert.
The female swordsman of Somer brought a total of two hundred soldiers to this miraculous swamp to garrison, and the main target they originally wanted to guard against was the only group of swamp residents in this swamp - a group of kobolds.
, a small swamp tribe composed of the souls of lizardmen and wolf-headed men.
The population of this small tribe is not large, but they are all good at taming swamp beasts, especially monitor lizards.
In the past four months, I heard that these guys have sold no less than 5,000 adult monitor lizards to bandits and thieves all over the province.
Their condition is that as long as they give the young monitor lizards half a month's time and an additional training fee of two platinum coins, they can train an adult monitor lizard that satisfies their customers.
This problem is quite serious. In the Kingdom of Dickwell, dangerous creatures such as monitor lizards can be seen in more and more rebellions, so this group of swamp tribes has also entered the scope of extermination.
If they hadn't been self-aware and had been hiding deep in the swamp, they would have been captured by the city lord of the City of Glory and slaughtered over and over again a hundred times.
Although they could not successfully destroy the opponent, they could not continue to allow the opponent to develop without restraint. Therefore, the City of Glory came up with a compromise method, which was to send more troops and strengthen patrols to completely isolate these swamp monsters.
, and eventually forced them to go out without food, and then destroyed them.
As time went by, the small tribe inside did become anxious. Recently, Somer observed them trying to break through the patrol circle more and more frequently. They probably couldn't hold on anymore and wanted to go out to find food sources.
Yes, after all, there is not much arable land available in the swamp, and it is difficult to produce a large amount of food to meet the food needs of those monsters and the monsters they raise.
However, what is terrifying is that just last night, a large number of ghost creatures appeared inexplicably.
As soon as these terrifying bone undead appeared, they attacked the two patrols under Sommer's command, and severely injured the only two gryphon scouts in the town stronghold, causing one of them to die and the other to be seriously injured.
It is no longer possible to continue voice-activated investigation.
But the loss of our own manpower still brought back some important news, that is, in the southwest corner of the swamp, these ghost skeletons have built a large-scale ghost stronghold there, and at the same time, right there
To the west and south of this stronghold, two small strongholds are also being built.
Somer once struggled with his troops to attack one of the ghost tribe's strongholds. However, after detaching enough defensive troops to defend the city, their attack troops were not large in number and not strong enough.
After a brief stalemate, they failed to successfully complete their plan to destroy the stronghold. Finally, after hesitating for a day and going through several battles, Somer finally agreed to take people to evacuate here.
The big problem they are encountering now is that it seems they don't have enough time to retreat.
It would take about an hour to finish everything. However, almost every ten minutes, the two small ghost strongholds in the west and south would send a group of people to harass and attack the town.
The number of these two groups of soldiers is not large, but when gathered together there can be forty or fifty people.
For a small town with less than 200 guards in total, this is a force that cannot be underestimated. It is natural to be careful when dealing with it.
What worries Somer is that if this delay continues, the ghost tribe's stronghold in the southwest will send troops to attack here soon, but they don't dare to think about how many troops the other side will send.
, and the consequences are self-evident
If Liu Yifei could follow Novi's instructions and bring a hundred guards, then the problem would probably not be big. As long as the gap in strength between the two sides could be widened, Liu Yifei didn't think this task was that difficult.
Originally, it was designed for Lord players to practice their skills. But it’s so difficult that it’s hard to survive? It’s just scary.
So everything here is not a problem for him, who is already an experienced master.
"Oh, by the way, Swordsman Chief Somel, do you have any detailed information about the swamp tribe?
Although their behavior in the territory is very offensive, after all, our human race and the swamp race can be regarded as allies in the general direction. Especially when facing the raging ghost race, we should unite and deal with the outside world.
After all, if even we suffer disaster, then the weaker ones may also suffer disaster.
Could it be said that since the news of the ghost clan was discovered, we have not tried to send envoys to negotiate with the swamp tribe?"
When Liu Yifei thought of the question about the swamp tribe he saw before, Liu Yifei couldn't help but continue to ask.
From Liu Yifei's point of view, it was obvious that the tribe in the swamp was the key to this mission.
In addition to the fact that this third party seems particularly easy to attack, the location of their tribe is also particularly important.
They happen to be on the only way from the large ghost stronghold to the human stronghold. If the large ghost stronghold attacks the small human town, passing here is the only option.
Or, that is to take a detour from both sides of the swamp area.
It's just that it's hard to calculate how much time it will take if we go this way.
Anyway, from Liu Yifei's point of view, he would definitely not choose these two paths. After all, it is always a very safe way to use a small force to contain the enemy's flanks and rear, and then use a large force to break through the front in one fell swoop.
"Ah? I really haven't tried this before.
In fact, since the establishment of this outpost, we have not had many opportunities to face the swamp tribe directly. Every time they either ran away as soon as they saw us, or they were accidentally killed as soon as they caught us, without any interrogation.
As for the opportunity, let’s not talk about alliances.
The attitude of the other side is also unknown. I think if we rely on the strength of you, Lord Lord, and your personal subordinates, it will be enough to support us until we pack up our things and retreat. During this period, I think the other side's army will not have time to come over.
As long as we can get out of the swamp, those skeletons on the mainland won't be able to easily catch up with us.
When we return to the City of Glory, I don’t think we need to worry about any enemy threats.”
This woman is really stupid. Even though they are strong enough to protect themselves now, they have not thought of any good way to alleviate the current crisis.
At least in Liu Yifei's view, if he were in the opponent's position, he might have been thinking about counterattacking as much as possible instead of running away so determinedly.
Furthermore, based on his current intelligence, the small stronghold in the south is already infested with undead, and the large stronghold in the southwest may even have vampires, right?
What Somer said about the other party not being able to catch up to him on the main road was based entirely on the speed of skeletons and corpses. If it were undead and vampires, he wanted to chase them, a group of spearmen and crossbows.
Don’t make the soldiers too simple? I’m afraid no one will be able to escape by then.
"What Swordsman Chief Ensomel said is reasonable, but the Holy Light said that all people in the world who are willing to be redeemed and can be redeemed should be redeemed. Although those swamp monsters have a lot of grudges with us, we should not give up on the big issues of right and wrong.
If possible, I am willing to take on the task of contacting them. Of course, it will not delay my support for the defense of Swordsman Captain Somer.
In this case, I wonder if you are willing to accept those poor allies living in the swamp? Maybe they will also have guys who want to change their ways."
Liu Yifei is already familiar with the methods of dealing with NPCs, especially when dealing with these human beings who have lofty beliefs. Once the big principles are introduced, he can basically block the opponent to death.
As expected by Liu Yifei, what he said was so thorough. It was about salvation, righteousness, and taking on the work by oneself. As long as the other party was willing to do so, if Somer refused to agree, it would be a departure from the light doctrine and would be harmful to Liu Yifei.
The Holy Light is blasphemed
Therefore, although she frowned and seemed a little unhappy, she finally agreed to Liu Yifei's request.
"Congratulations, player, you have discovered the hidden mission, 'Ancient Covenant - Redemption'. Please rescue these poor guys from the Alliance of Light before the swamp tribe in the dungeon is destroyed. Number of completions: 133."
Ha, there is indeed a hidden mission
Liu Yifei secretly praised in his heart and sighed that information is indeed a useful weapon.
If he hadn't previously observed the overall situation from mid-air on Grigory and discovered the existence of the swamp tribe, I'm afraid he would have ignored these guys this time
But since he guessed it, Liu Yifei will definitely try his best to achieve a high degree of completion.
With the two great generals Grigori and Milanknos, he was ready to push back the opponent's stronghold, let alone save a small swamp tribe? It was just a piece of cake.
"By the way, Swordsman Captain Somer, before I leave, I would also like to ask, do you know any valuable information about the opponent's large stronghold in the southwest corner?"
Before leaving the meeting hall, Liu Yifei just asked instinctively.
In fact, after coming into contact with this female swordsman captain, Liu Yifei felt extremely regretful. This was simply a trap. If he didn't want to get information about her, he wouldn't bother to talk to her.
I just didn't expect that this time Somer gave Liu Yifei a big and shocking news
"It's not very clear how many there are, but based on the news from the severely injured sentry, maybe there will be an extremely powerful spirit-level guy hiding in that stronghold.
In fact, if it weren't for this news, how could we be willing to give up the establishment of the stronghold that has been completed for a long time?" Somer said reluctantly.
"Eling level? I'm here. It doesn't seem to be that simple to completely get this lord copy," Liu Yifei couldn't help but said depressedly.
