The person who interrupted was none other than Andre, who had always disliked Zhao Xi.
Zhao Xi could not say what he liked or disliked about this personal guard knight who usually followed Gloria everywhere, but he saw a trace of ill-intentioned light in the other person's twinkling eyes.
Bolton and Gloria frowned at the same time, obviously not agreeing with Andre's suggestion.
Is it necessary to be so exaggerated? Zhao Xi asked nonchalantly: "What mission?"
Hearing Zhao Xi's initiative to ask, Andre suddenly perked up and couldn't wait to answer: "We are preparing to launch a counterattack. We need elite knights to join the battle to contain the main force of the orcs. Knight Kaos, I believe you can do it."
Up to the task!"
Zhao Xi ignored Andre because he knew very well that his third ring mission was unlikely to be triggered by this guy who was like soy sauce.
His eyes looked at Gloria.
Gloria hesitated for a moment and said: "Knights of Kaos, we are ready to abandon the giant rock castle and retreat."
"What?"
Zhao Xi was immediately shocked: "Why give up the giant rock castle? Didn't we just defeat the main force of the orc army?"
In the fierce battle last night, the orc army retreated and came back, and were beaten back again. After repeated back and forth, the monsters left thousands of corpses behind, and finally retreated several miles away.
Gloria smiled bitterly and said: "This is only temporary. They are regrouping their strength, and our city guard soldiers have suffered too many losses, especially the high-level soldiers. Almost all of them have been lost."
Zhao Xi nodded silently. He had been fighting on the front line of the city wall these days. He knew very well how heavy the casualties of the city guards were, especially since there were not many warriors above level 10 left.
Gloria continued: "Food is also a big problem. Now we have basically cut off foreign aid. The food in stock in the city can no longer last for a few days. If we don't make plans early, there will be big problems!"
Zhao Xi finally understood and asked: "Then what can I do?"
This question is the key. Just listen to Gloria's answer: "We are discussing and preparing to organize an elite unit to go out of the city to actively attack the Orc Legion to contain their main force. Then others will cover the residents in the city to evacuate to Locke Fortress
."
"Knight of Kaos. Are you willing to join the attack on the orcs, or follow the army to cover the retreat? The former is very dangerous, and I think you must be prepared to make sacrifices!"
Gloria's answer was very candid and she didn't hide anything.
Andre next to him smiled hypocritically: "Of course the Knight of Kaos will choose to participate in the attack..."
"Shut up, Andre!"
Bolton shouted in a deep voice. He glared at the other party fiercely. Then he said to Zhao Xi: "Kaos, you have just been promoted to the paladin of the temple, so don't participate in this counterattack."
"You have a bright future and will also carry the hope of retaking the Rock Castle. So I hope you can follow Gloria to Locke Fortress, and I will lead the counterattack team out of the city to fight!"
Gloria's eyes were red: "Uncle Bolton!"
Bolton shook his head, looked at Zhao Xi and said, "Decide, your destiny is in your hands!"
System prompt: Please choose to join the counterattack team or retreat from Locke Fortress!
Plot branching!
This is a choice task. Different choices will bring different results and affect the subsequent development of the plot.
What Zhao Xi can be sure of is that the higher the difficulty of the task, the richer the reward will be. Although the system does not provide reward content for two different task options, this basic rule is correct.
However, the former is too difficult. It is said to be a counterattack coalition, but in fact it is a death squad. There are tens of thousands of people in the giant rock castle, and it is impossible to evacuate them in a short time.
Therefore, this regiment can only fight to the death with the Orc Legion. There is no room for retreat and the danger is too great.
And once he dies in the mission, it will mean losing everything, including the experience he has worked so hard to accumulate, the equipment he activated, and his newly promoted identity as a Knight of Thorns, and he will have to start all over again.
The price of failure is too high!
Zhao Xi took a deep breath and replied: "I am willing to join the counterattack alliance!"
Bolton and Gloria were stunned at the same time, while Andre showed a smile.
Bolton said in surprise: "Kaos, have you thought clearly? This is no joke!"
Zhao Xi nodded: "I'm sure I've thought it through!"
"I am willing to do my part for the Rock Castle. If it weren't for Lord Gloria, I don't think I would be alive today. This is the reward within my ability!"
When Zhao Xi first came to the plane of destiny, he almost died at the hands of an orc warrior. It was Gloria who rescued him and brought him back to the Rock Castle, where he completed two tasks.
Maybe many players think that NPCs are just props in the game, and they exist entirely to serve themselves. There is no need to be polite and courteous. Use them if you can, and throw them away if you can't.
But in Zhao Xi's view, these virtual characters living in the imaginary world also have their own lives. In many aspects, they are not much different from real people with flesh and blood. Respecting them is respecting yourself!
This may be the greatest charm of "Glory"!
System prompt: The third ring mission is started.
Mission requirements for the third ring: block the main force of the Orc Legion for at least 12 hours.
Mission reward: 5 million experience points, +50 reputation in the plane of destiny, and 72 hours of return to the main plane!
The mission requirements of the third ring were not beyond Zhao Xi's expectation, but the reward of the mission was really special. After completing it, he was able to get 3 days to return - is it considered a vacation?
Zhao Xi calculated the time and it happened to be the three-day holiday of the Mid-Autumn Festival!
He couldn't help but laugh.
"You guys go out first!"
At this time, Gloria said: "Start preparing to evacuate the castle immediately, we don't have much time left!"
She looked at Zhao Xi: "Knight Kaos, you stay here first."
Soon, only Zhao Xi and Gloria were left in the meeting hall.
The latter looked solemn, and she said to Zhao Xi: "Kaos, in fact, you don't need to make such a sacrifice."
Zhao Xi smiled and said: "Lord Viscount, I think I need to pay!"
"Call me Gloria!"
Gloria's eyes softened as she looked at him: "The Holy Knights of the Temple are also nobles."
She seemed to have made up her mind, her eyes suddenly became extremely firm, and then she reached out and waved lightly on the round table.
A dark golden box appeared silently.
The Lord Viscount obviously wears a space ring on his hand that can store things.
The box was quite large. Gloria reached out and opened the lid. The items stored inside were immediately displayed in front of Zhao Xi's eyes. It was a pair of armor shining with metallic light!
Gloria said: "Kaos, this is the armor my father left for me, but it is not suitable for me or Uncle Bolton. Now I will lend it to you. I hope you can rely on it to defeat the strong and survive."
return!"
Zhao Xi's eyes fell on this piece of armor, and he couldn't move away immediately.
Armor of destiny, defense 30-40, spell defense +20%, strength +10, constitution +10, blood volume +100, holy power/combat power +100, durability 100/100, two or more destiny suits must be equipped at the same time
, only for warriors, knight professions, legendary equipment, one of the destiny suits, upgradeable, owner: Gloria!
Armor of Destiny!
Zhao Xi came to the plane of destiny because of the destiny mission. He finally saw the first destiny suit in this plane, right before his eyes and within reach!
The attributes of this armor are truly that of a bunker!
It does not come with any special skills or special attributes, but the basic attributes and additional attributes are extremely powerful. It adds blood, defense, and attack, which comprehensively enhances the wearer's strength.
After being promoted to the Knight of Thorns, Zhao Xi, who has the Blade of Destiny, now has strong attack power, but his health and defense are definitely far behind, and the Armor of Destiny just makes up for his biggest weakness!
Looking at it, Zhao Xi knew that his choice was right!
