After a simple reorganization, Pixar had already led the remaining people to set off to the west. After leaving Calliad, they gradually went deeper into the wilderness, intending to first explore whether the news about the several beast herds they had found was true.
However, someone in the team was obviously still dissatisfied with the previous "dispute". During the rapid march, a strange tone came from behind:
"Ouch~ I'm talking about Pixar, we veterans are really embarrassed today. This new batch of recruits is incredible, how long have they been training for? They actually start not to take us seriously...
I think that little guy named Geralt usually hangs out with you, right?
How do you think you became a senior? This is completely ruining the image of us veterans! If he continues like this, won't every recruit dare to stare at us and make irresponsible remarks?"
While he was talking, the [Great Swordsman] glanced at the dozen or so other recruits following the team, either intentionally or unintentionally, but he felt uneasy about this group of recruits, who were mainly from the Mingyue City Military Region, and secretly
There are also some complaints that Geralt should not have openly jumped out to point fingers at the other party's arrangements...
In the army, "soldiers" have always executed orders, and only "commanders" have the authority to lay out strategies and determine actions.
Although everyone is still in training, according to the "hidden rules" in the training camp, veterans must be in command during operations. Normally, recruits only need to obey orders~
In the past, "Geralt" seemed quite honest in the Mingyue City Military Region. Although he was a bit powerful in terms of strength and had rich combat experience that even the instructors were impressed by, he was also quite honest in training and never made any mistakes.
After all the chaos, why has it been so non-stop since arriving at the Guards training camp?
and……
It's okay for him to make a mistake, but why are innocent people like them left to suffer the other side's rejection and cold looks? Who did these new recruits provoke whom?
At the same time, the recruits were filled with bitterness, and Pixar was also extremely embarrassed. He had no choice but to smile and said: "Margit is right, we should establish the majesty of our seniors...
Therefore, we should be more attentive and perform well in this beast-chasing patrol mission!
After all, how can we always rely on words?
If we don’t show some actual achievements and abilities, we seniors will have no confidence in our careers, right?"
"Huh~ So what do you mean...if we don't perform well, we deserve to be yelled at by these rookies in the future?
But is the army a place like this?!
Is it possible that we can also learn this trick and ride on the heads of instructors, captains, and generals? If that’s the case, I don’t think you, Pixar, should be the temporary captain. There are no rules anyway. From now on
Doesn’t it have to be a mess?”
What he said made Pixar extremely embarrassed, so he had no choice but to be careful with him. Fortunately, everyone knew what he looked like, so the one named Margit snorted coldly and stopped trying to push Pixar.
The [Crusader] also followed up and said: "Everyone must behave well, but no matter what, such recruits should still be taught a lesson.
If you don't give him a taste of pain, such a brat will only become more and more presumptuous in the future, and will not take other seniors in his eyes..."
Here, Pixar was secretly worried about his friend's previous "motive", and he didn't know how his colleagues would deal with that fool in the future.
On the other hand, Liu Yifei didn't care at all what these second-phase veterans thought of him - since he met Adela, he learned that the third-phase veterans had to be stationed in places like Harmondale for a long time.
After the actual combat training, Liu Yifei no longer cared much about the attitude of the veterans in the training camp towards him.
It's amazing to be able to hide for a month or two. In the battle, almost a year will pass. By then, all the veterans will have to get out... They may even fail to survive the training and be kicked out by the escort. How many people will be left by then?
Do you have time to find fault with him?
And since he reached an agreement with Adelek, guaranteeing a worry-free three-year training period, Liu Yifei has become more stable mentally... and has even gradually reached the point where he is like a dead pig that cannot be boiled - usually just because of his focus on
During training, there is no need to have any disputes with other people, so I won’t deliberately look for trouble.
But when it comes to really needing him to argue with reason, Liu Yifei is not afraid of trouble at all and will not retreat even a step according to his own ideas. The face of a veteran is worthless in his eyes - all he cares about is his own confirmation.
It's just the important things - for example, right now, he really wants to see if he can catch some of Negan's magician's tail in Kalliad...
Negan, or also known as the underground city camp, is a member of the Dark Alliance on the continent of Entagre. The rulers of the camp are almost all sorcerers or powerful dark monsters underground.
Yes, the main areas of activity of this camp are underground. As the dark world extends in all directions and the complex and huge underground tunnel system spreads across the entire continent.
It's just that the other party's real home base is not in the depths of the underground world. Instead, it lies on the large outbound island in the southeastern part of the Entagri continent - Nigan Volcanic Island.
It is precisely because of its geographical advantage that after Erathia gradually expanded its territory to the southeastern coast of the mainland, it was violently plundered by Negan pirates later - due to the south of the mainland, the mountains and snowy areas in the southwest were cold.
The ground is frozen, and the altitude is extremely high. The coastline is covered with steep and shocking snow cliffs. Even if Negan's pirates are extremely capable, they would not be able to jump from the ship to such a high place~
The giant territory further east is the traditional sphere of influence of the wild dwarves. It is mountainous and primitive and backward. Liu Yifei did not remember anything special that happened there in his previous life. It seems that not many players went there to develop.
...It may also be that the wild dwarves are very cliquey and xenophobic, so few players can dig out the quest chain in the Land of Giants.
In fact, Liu Yifei himself is not sure whether the Negan pirates have caused trouble in the wild dwarf territory, but since the wild dwarves do not give Erathia face (after all, Eli and Erathia are allies, it stands to reason that the wild dwarves
They should have good diplomatic relations with Erathia), and I won’t give those ugly Negan monsters a good look~
So thinking about it... Negan's pirates may be in the southern part of the continent, and they can bully some of the new territories of Erathia opened up by Kalliad, right?
Anyway, Negan's magician can never shake hands with the Alliance of Light and make peace. How big a deal is it to plunder the coastal areas for nothing?
It was precisely because he had accurately grasped the fact that the area around Kalliad was most likely to be the place where Negan's pirates were most likely to plunder, as well as the fact that it was about to happen in the future, that Liu Yifei firmly believed in the vague information, even the source of the information.
When things couldn't be explained clearly, he would boldly push himself forward...
At this moment, Liu Yifei was heading toward the hills east of Kalliad with a group of more than thirty players he had temporarily found.
It's just that he was used to hanging out with high-level NPCs before, and now he suddenly turned around and interacted with the players. After actually starting to take action, Liu Yifei felt a huge inconvenience——
The first thing to bear the brunt is the issue of players’ “hard power”!
This can be said to be the biggest limitation faced by players in the campaign mode, and it may not be solved in a short time.
Compared with Liu Yifei's increasingly explosive basic attributes, today's players are really just side dishes, and the few who are "awesome" are only slightly better than ordinary people - such as the person who provided information to Liu Yifei earlier.
A male player carrying a big fork and carrying a stick.
This person obviously has some actual combat experience, and the "weapons" he chooses in the campaign mode are very particular - big wooden sticks are available everywhere, are solid and reliable, and there is no need to consider any combat skills, as long as he has the strength to swing them.
It doesn’t feel bad if it’s worn out. Picking up another one on the spot is another good thing - cheap, no maintenance, easy to replenish, it’s a “magic tool” for newbies!
The big wooden fork has the same attack power as a "spear". Not only does it have an advantage in attack distance, it also has a certain control effect. For example, when facing opponents that are not particularly powerful, such as wolves and ordinary humans, standard joint position control is required.
If you stop it, the opponent's entire target will be immobilized. It's so easy to use~
Killing two more monsters casually on the road, Liu Yifei determined at a glance that this person was probably the one with the strongest individual combat ability among this group of people... But even so, after running at a constant speed for less than four seconds while carrying such "light" equipment,
After one kilometer, the man was panting as if he was about to die, which really made Liu Yifei unable to have much expectations for the combat effectiveness of the current players.
It doesn't matter that they are weak, but what's even more terrible is...these people are still "chaotic"!
Even if he is such a "prick", he just jumps out to question the opinions of veterans when formulating strategies. But if the final course of action is determined, Liu Yifei will still habitually restrain his thoughts and actions, and follow up
In action, he demands himself like a serious soldier - these are the experiences and habits gained from the long gaming experience and extremely high investment in gaming in his "previous life". In a short period of time, even if you ask Liu Yifei to change him, he will be able to change it, and he can even change it.
It is said that Liu Yifei has adapted to a certain extent to act like a "soldier".
But now this group of players...
Okay~
Not to mention fighting monsters or investigating, even if these people were on the road and couldn't breathe, they would still chatter a few words from time to time, or else they would just yell "No way."
"It's not going to work anymore." He wanted Liu Yifei to stop and rest, but he didn't have any sense of seriousness or urgency of regular army operations.
Just this strength, this discipline...
Liu Yifei is so worried~~~
He even silently doubted whether his previous decision was correct...
Fortunately, everyone's purpose was quite clear this time. Since the first half of the road was a "hurry march", Liu Yifei kept not letting everyone rest, and acted like "the mission was aborted" if they couldn't keep up, which forced the others to do it even if they were exhausted.
Follow along.
After entering the forest area, the team's speed finally slowed down, allowing others to take a breather... However, after regaining their composure, these people chatted even more energetically.
Big...
"Oh, let me go~ I was just... so exhausted... Damn it~ I feel like I was taking a long-distance running exam in school."
"Brother, are you studying too? Me too, me too~ It just felt like running a long-distance run in a sports meeting!"
"Hahahaha~ It seems that everyone is not very old? But Geralt is still so fierce! We young and strong people are almost running out of breath, but he is wearing that turtle shell and there is no sound of breathing, don't you accept it~
"
"Eh? Could it be that the equipment has a weight-reducing special effect? I think this armor is really not light. If there is no weight-reducing special effect, wouldn't it be too exaggerated? We are so different..."
Liu Yifei really wanted to sew the mouths of these guys who chatted regardless of time and place!
It's just that the attitude towards players and NPCs cannot be the same, otherwise this thing will be very dirty~
After enduring it for a while, Liu Yifei said softly to everyone: "Okay, let's take a short rest first. When we continue to go deeper, everyone will cheer up, but we can't speak so loudly anymore.
If you accidentally alert the enemy and attract too many monsters... everyone knows that if you die in the battle, you will not be able to go online again during this battle, right?
I can't protect you too much by myself, so be careful! If you want to share the spoils, kill monsters and become stronger, then cheer up! If you die in an accident, I won't pay the pension~
"
These conditions were all agreed upon before. Since Liu Yifei could not get the money to "hire" the players, he simply gathered everyone by promising loot. Except for one of his priority rights, the other spoils were shared equally with everyone. With his
His strength definitely gave him an advantage over other players. Except for a few who hesitated, almost everyone in the town who saw him rushed out together.
When it comes to the issue of loot, the players are indeed a lot more honest. Even when chatting, they subconsciously keep their voices to a minimum. Obviously, no one is willing to make mistakes and let the loot go to waste - because once they die, they will not go online until the next campaign opening period.
At that time, the player couldn't even tell where he would be "reborn" again, so where could he go to ask for his share?
Finally, everyone was a little more serious. After Liu Yifei relaxed, he began to discuss the next action with a few "experts" who had a rough understanding of the surrounding terrain.
If there really is a team of "a boatload of people" hiding in this forest, it will be extremely difficult to hide on the ground. If there is a little movement, it may easily cause a big commotion among the animals in the forest. But if it comes
If the person is really Negan's magician, the situation will be different - they are all experts at digging holes! If those guys are coming to dredge a direct link to Negan's volcanic island
As for the local underground passage, traces of the other party may not be found on the ground at this time...
In the end, Liu Yifei decided to divide the team into two waves again. A group of people searched for any suitable places or signs of ship docking along the coastline, while he himself led a few experienced "experts" to disperse in the forest to look for possible places.
The traces of the enemy are moving forward at the same time on both sides at a constant speed. Even if one side encounters any mishap, as long as it shouts hello, it can quickly get on-site support from the other side in a short time...
