Li Ming led his team and quickly arrived at the location of the checkpoint. Now he could clearly see the terrain of the entire checkpoint, and he felt very confused in his heart.
The location of the checkpoint is very reasonable. There are watchtowers on the mountainside on both sides to assist in guarding. There is a flat desert outside the entire canyon. As long as the enemy appears, he will be exposed to the sight of the watchtower from a distance and will never be easily attacked.
attack……
"What kind of checkpoint is this, so heavily defended?" Lonely Ruyan looked ahead and asked in surprise.
"Looking at the formation, this should be a dangerous place, so a fortress was specially built to block the canyon passage." Fan Hua said.
"Then how should we proceed with our mission? It doesn't say which NPC to find?" Tianya Piaopiao asked.
"Come with me, you'll know who to look for once you enter the fortress." Li Ming strode forward along the canyon...
The teammates quickly followed and walked towards the tall fortress at the mouth of the canyon.
Just after walking through the canyon and approaching the front of the fortress, I saw two rows of black-armored soldiers suddenly rushing out from the gate of the fortress.
Each of them carried a quiver on his back and held a long bow. They all drew their bows and arrows as if they were facing a powerful enemy, and locked their sights in front of Li Ming from a distance...
"Who dares to break into the fortress!" A loud voice sounded, and behind two rows of archers, a burly man wearing silver armor who looked like an officer shouted loudly.
The players were originally frightened, but the moment they saw this officer, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
There is an eye-catching golden exclamation mark on the head of this silver-armored officer, which means that the silver-armored officer has missions that players can take on...
"Sir, don't be nervous. We are here to investigate the attack on your order," Li Ming said loudly.
"It turns out it's the envoy sent by the Lord Guard. Come over here." The officer waved his hand, and the two rows of archers spread out to the left and right, and stood neatly at the gate of the fortress to continue their vigilance.
Li Ming and his teammates immediately walked forward and arrived at the gate of the fortress.
This fortress is about fifteen or six meters wide and is built right at the mouth of the canyon, completely blocking the entire mouth of the canyon. The gate in the middle leads to the outside of the canyon on the other side and can be closed at the same time to prevent enemy invasion.
The height of the fortress is about seventeen or eighty meters. The first floor is the passage hall, which takes up a full ten meters in height. Then there are two floors of about four meters. Each floor can station a large number of guards.
Countless crossbows and two arrow towers are set up on the top of the fortress, which can launch counterattacks against enemies attacking the fortress.
As Li Ming walked towards the officer, he had already observed the situation of the entire fortress. The more he looked at it, the more curious he became.
Under normal circumstances, a defensive fortress like this cannot be easily broken by a legion of tens of thousands of people, so how can it encounter harassment from the enemy?
Walking up to this officer, he looked at the line of blue names above his head. There was only a simple introduction to his official position... Guarding Captain!
Judging from his official position, this guy's rank is not too high. He is just a mid- to low-level officer above a centurion. He has the maximum authority to command 500 soldiers.
The teammates all stood beside the officer and started the mission dialogue one by one...
"Sir Captain, the Lord Guard ordered me to explore the abnormal situation here. I wonder if Lord Captain can give me detailed information?" Li Ming said politely.
"You came at the right time. I don't know what's going on lately. In the middle of the night, our fortress always encounters inexplicable attacks." The guard captain sighed.
"I see that the defense of the fortress is very tight. Why do we still have enemies coming to attack us? What do they want to do?" Li Ming asked in confusion.
"I'm ashamed to say that we still don't know who the enemy is, because every time we encounter danger at night, this is the third day we have been attacked. We have been waiting for the guard to send us reinforcements to launch an attack on the surrounding desert.
Search and find the enemy!" the guarding captain said bitterly.
"Sir, can you tell me what those mysterious enemies have done?" Li Ming asked.
"These enemies have been attacking us for three days, and soldiers continue to disappear every night. We have lost a total of 5 soldiers, and their whereabouts are still unknown!" the guard captain said helplessly.
"What... the enemy actually came to arrest the soldiers?" Li Ming was shocked.
The other party harassing the fortress actually came to capture soldiers. This was completely beyond his imagination...
What are these soldiers doing?
He was confused, but he didn't ask, because the guard captain didn't seem to know anything about it. He was just angry and frightened, and kept waiting for the guard captain's reinforcements to arrive to help.
If the enemy was still able to capture the soldiers on the first night, it can be said that the defense of the fortress was not vigilant enough. But if soldiers were captured for three consecutive days, the situation would be even more troublesome...
There are at least hundreds of soldiers stationed in a tight fortress. It is ten times more difficult to capture the soldiers from inside than to conquer the fortress!
"We didn't know what happened on the first night. It was only when we started to count the troops the next morning that we realized that two soldiers were missing. I also sent people to search carefully nearby, but the desert was too big. Even if I put the fortress in
Even if all the soldiers are sent out, it will be difficult to search..." the guarding captain said in frustration.
"So you still didn't take it seriously the next night?" Li Mingxiao asked.
"Yes, I went there the next night, and on the morning of the third day I found that two more soldiers were missing, and then I felt that the situation was not good, because we count the soldiers every night and again every morning. If they disappeared, it must be at night
What happened, so on the third night I specially sent half of the soldiers to strictly defend, but one of them was still captured..." the guard captain sighed.
"How can you be sure that you were taken away or how they left?" Li Ming asked curiously.
"On the third night, we saw with our own eyes that a soldier was dragged away alive in the desert outside the fortress. We still remember his screams clearly! Most of the soldiers saw this scene..." Guarding City
Wei said with a horrified expression.
"The soldiers were dragged away... who did it?" Li Ming asked quickly.
"The soldier was dragged forward with his back against the desert, as if the monster that captured him was hiding under the desert!" the guarding captain clenched his fists and said angrily.
"This is the situation..." Li Ming touched his chin, feeling that the situation was getting weirder.
"Since you are the envoy sent by the guard to investigate this matter, please tell the guard immediately and ask him to send more soldiers to support immediately. Otherwise, we don't know who will be unlucky tonight!" The guard captain was nervous.
said.
"Sir, don't worry. I came here to investigate the incident this time. The Lord Guard made it very clear. I must find out the situation here before I can go back to resume my life. Otherwise, if I just go back without knowing anything, the Lord Guard will definitely not be satisfied."
Li Ming explained.
"Then what are you going to do?" the guard captain asked doubtfully.
"It's very simple. First, find out the identity of this guy and its purpose in capturing soldiers..." Li Ming's eyes flashed, and he already had some clues in his mind about investigating this matter...
