The accumulated fire power exploded in the body of a humanoid monster with a green face and fangs, and the opponent's body collapsed. In front of the monster, Li Shuyi slowly put away her swords, and Bai Xiaowen also put away the Desert Eagle.
The spirit world rules prompt message came:
"You destroyed the Orc scout team of the Sin Domain Alliance."
"Your reputation in the human coalition has increased. It is currently: respect."
"Your reputation in the Sin Domain Alliance has been reduced. It is currently: Hatred."
"Your team received 140 merit points this time, and the total cumulative merit points is 970."
Li Shuyi's little face was covered with dust and she looked very tired: "During this period, we have traveled through more than a dozen territories in northern Xinjiang. Is this the last territory?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "From the map, this belongs to Laya Town, and it is also our last stop. There are still a little more than 16 hours before the main mission of [Black Rock's War] starts. We will return to Hongye City now, and bring
Troops, participate in the battle of the Black Rock Defense Line."
After maintaining order in Hongye City, Bai Xiaowen took Li Shuyi and wandered among the large and small territories in Northern Xinjiang.
In a non-combat state, Bai Xiaowen put away the summoned creatures of the Black Soul Stone, and only summoned Raging Claw for the two of them to ride on. If it weren't for Raging Claw's fast running speed, the two of them would definitely not be able to survive in just ** days.
Li, traveled all over northern Xinjiang.
During this period, Bai Xiaowen and the two encountered several groups of infiltration teams from the Sin Territory Alliance and eliminated them on the spot. They had a certain understanding of the elite members of various races in the Sin Territory Alliance.
The orc tribe is divided into pure-blooded orcs and mixed-blood half-orcs, which are humanoid monsters with green faces and fangs that have just been killed. Pure-blooded orcs are taller and stronger, and have a more brutal temperament. Their personal strength is even greater than that of the elite headhunters of the troll tribe.
Not weak at all.
Hybrid half-orcs are the product of the mating of orcs and humans. They are less powerful, but generally more agile.
In addition, there are the Dark Rangers and Scimitar Warriors of the Dark Elf clan, who all follow the agile route.
On the whole, the remnants of the Sin Domain Alliance, whether they are ordinary templates or elite templates, are stronger than humans of the same level. Of course, the leader template is not comparable.
Bai Xiaowen secretly complained, is it true that the worse the environment, the easier it is for fighting nations to appear? He thought of another time and space, a magical nation that could beat brown bears as teddy bears. It seemed that they lived in the world of ice and snow for many years.
middle.
In any case, the situation in the defensive battle of Black Rock Fortress is quite serious.
After returning to Hongye City, Bai Xiaowen immediately dressed up, led the guards, and escorted a batch of supplies to Black Rock City further north.
Now Bai Xiaowen's guard has expanded to more than 500 people. With money and food, he can naturally continue to expand his troops. The original proportion of bandits has been diluted to less than half, and it is inappropriate to call it a bandit guard. Now
They have a more famous name, Baishi Army.
Just before the second main mission started, Bai Xiaowen led the Baishi Army to Black Rock City and met the prince himself.
After seeing it on the communication rune stone, Bai Xiaowen felt that the prince was just like that, nothing special. But after seeing Prince Nicholas with his own eyes, Bai Xiaowen realized with jealousy what the aura of a son of a plane is and what the demeanor of a king is.
Prince Nicholas is wearing a military uniform, and his words and deeds have already begun to have the aura of a king. It seems that nothing can trouble him. After encountering a new situation, he always issues appropriate orders in an orderly manner to solve it.
A lord in front of Bai Xiaowen had been infected by Prince Nicholas's charisma. He bowed his head and was completely impressed by Prince Nicholas' domineering aura.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi are awakened persons and are immune to the aura of Prince Nicholas' son of the plane.
"You are finally here. Before you, there were eleven orders waiting to be issued, and twice as many people waiting to be received, but I still postponed all these trips and made a special trip to welcome you." Prince Nicholas
The smile was sincere.
Bai Xiaowen made a panicked look: "It's an honor for me to be taken seriously by His Highness."
Prince Nicholas smiled and said: "There is no need to feel panic. Based on your achievements, I cannot attach too much importance to you. The people of Hongye City can be freed from the clutches of the undead plague, all thanks to you and your men."
That learned scholar. By the way, has that learned scholar come? I also want to reward him."
Bai Xiaowen sighed and said: "Your Highness, I have tried my best, but only about half of the people of Hongye City survived, and the other half eventually became undead and were personally killed by my guards... I am very sad
I feel ashamed that I could not save more people."
This fact cannot be concealed or tampered with. You must know that Prince Nicholas also has two senior eyes and ears, Knight Job and Knight Ferdinand, who are always paying attention to the changes in Red Leaf City. During the past few days of using Plague Buster, the two knights
How could it be possible to hide the fact that at least half of the people died while helping to maintain order in Hongye City?
Moreover, Bai Xiaowen bought low and sold high, and relied on the plague buster industry to make a fortune. This move could not escape the eyes and ears of the two knights, and Prince Nicholas must also know about it.
However, Prince Nicholas doesn't think there is anything wrong with doing this. He is a prince who has been educated by the royal elite since he was a child. He is not a passionate young man who has been brainwashed by the doctrine of chivalry. Of course, he knows that when the water is clear, there will be no fish.
It is a fact that Bai Xiaowen saved more than 10,000 people, and it is also a feat that cannot be erased. Under this premise, Bai Xiaowen is just greedy for money and has not crossed the line to rob. Prince Nicholas will definitely turn a blind eye.
As for the rewards for scholars, since Bai Xiaowen interrupted, Prince Nicholas tacitly agreed not to mention this again, which is actually a taboo topic.
In the world of Kane's plane, there is a popular saying: The vassals of my vassals are not my vassals.
The explanation is that the lord Bai Xiaowen is a vassal of the Plantagenet Empire and can be regarded as a vassal of the emperor. However, the troops and talents under Bai Xiaowen's command are all "vassals" of Bai Xiaowen personally, and the empire cannot directly order them.
This is also a feature of ancient feudal systems on earth, such as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in China and the Middle Ages in Europe.
Dr. Zombie has developed the antidote to the plague killer, and is definitely a rare talent. Prince Nicholas proposed a reward, and he inevitably wanted to see if he could poach this "scholar" for his own use.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen is confident. He is the master of Dr. Zombie. This is undeniable. The reason why he does not want Dr. Zombie and Prince Nicholas to meet is just because he does not want to arouse suspicion.
Just with Dr. Zombie’s fast-moving speaking style full of modern vocabulary, the secret will be revealed in just two sentences. Prince Nicholas is not an ignorant girl like Bonita, who can just be vague and get over it. What if he sees through that Bai Xiaowen and Dr. Zombie don’t belong?
The identity of the world of Kane's plane is not good after all.
Prince Nicholas said: "You don't have to blame yourself too much. It's me who should blame myself. As a prince, I can't save my people, so I can only issue an order to massacre the city. If it weren't for your existence, the residents of Hongye City would not even be able to save my people."
No one will survive."
After a pause, Prince Nicholas said: "You have made great contributions. Moreover, I have not forgotten your contribution in investigating the truth about the undead plague in Hongye City."
The spirit world rules prompt message sounded:
"Step 2 of the hero-level main quest [Fighting the Plague] has met some of the completion conditions. Mission objective a has been completed, and the individual completion rate is 47%. The overall mission completion rate is: 15.67% (unqualified)."
"Submit the task with the above completion level?"
[It seems that mission objective a is relatively simple, and its weight in the overall completion degree is only 1/3, while the overall weight of mission objective b is 2/3!] Bai Xiaowen calculated the ratio without blinking an eye.
Bai Xiaowen chose to refuse. Facing Prince Nicholas' doubtful gaze, he said sincerely: "The cause of fighting the undead plague is not over yet. I have determined to eliminate all undead plagues in the entire northern Xinjiang. Please allow your highness."
What this statement means is that Bai Xiaowen is not willing to submit the task, but wants to complete task objective b as well, and finally calculate the completion rate.
Prince Nicholas nodded in approval and said: "Your ambition is lofty and admirable."
The spirit world rules prompt message sounded again:
"The hero-level side quest step 2 [Fighting the Plague] is temporarily sealed. The reward for the hero-level side quest step 1 [The Truth about the Plague] will now be awarded."
"Your team has obtained the Merit Points of the Human United Army: 3000 points."
"You have obtained a special prop: Broken Oath."
"It has been detected that you currently possess three special props: Broken Oath, and the side mission [Black Blade's Oath] is open."
"Mission goal: Obtain a total of seven special props: Broken Oath and combine them."
"Mission deadline: None."
"Mission Difficulty: Unknown."
"Mission reward: Special prop: Oath of the Black Blade."
[Oath of the Ebon Blade: Team building props, allowing an awakened person below level 6 (including level 6, the same below) to establish a team and recruit other awakened people below level 6 to join. The total number of people in the team shall not exceed (2)
People. Team members will have certain bonus effects when fighting side by side. Once the team is established, it will be permanently established unless the team leader chooses to disband.】
Three thousand merit points are just so-so, but the subsequent [Broken Oath] reward and the continued side mission [Black Blade's Oath] boosted Bai Xiaowen's spirits.
This is a permanent team building item!
Permanent team-building props can not only save the energy points of forming a temporary team in the future once and for all, but also have a more important point compared to the temporary team, and that is the bonus effect of "fighting side by side".
According to the existing information, the bonus effects of some teams are very abnormal, which can greatly increase the strength of the team members! Of course, there are also some unlucky captains, and the bonus effects of the teams they draw are average. This is also different from the recommended team.
The quality of team props has something to do with it.
However, even a "very average" team bonus effect is better than nothing.
There are seven Ebon Blade Judge knights like Ian. According to the normal method, all seven should be killed, and each one will drop a "Broken Oath". The final combination is "Ebon Blade's Knight".
"Swear".
However, Bai Xiaowen has now hooked up with the prince, and everyone is a comrade, so he can only take the mission reward route. Obtaining the remaining four "Broken Oaths" from Prince Nicholas has become a major goal of Bai Xiaowen.
Prince Nicholas further said: "According to the previous agreement, you are now the commander of the 17th Infantry Square. The vanguard of the Sinful Domain survivors may arrive at any time, and there is no time for us to chat slowly. Go, Lord Dio,
Use your troops as the main force and integrate the 17th Infantry Square. The empire needs your strength."
Bai Xiaowen nodded and beat his chest with his right hand: "I will shed my last drop of blood for the empire, Your Highness."
Prince Nicholas nodded happily.
Bai Xiaowen turned around and left. With his super high mental strength, he could faintly feel that Prince Nicholas' eyes seemed to have deep meaning and he continued to stare behind him for a long time.
There are three Black Rock Defense Lines, each of which is jointly defended by three infantry phalanxes. There are nine infantry phalanxes in total, from the 11th to the 19th. These nine phalanxes are all private soldiers of the lords of Northern Xinjiang.
Integrated.
As for the first to tenth phalanx, they are the Plantagenet Regiment personally led by Prince Nicholas, guarding the Black Rock Fortress.
To put it simply, the 11th to 19th square formations are the cannon fodder fortress. The fortress is already overcrowded. These nine square formations cannot be stationed in the fortress and can only be drawn out to consume the enemy's troops.
Bai Xiaowen's 17th Infantry Square was assigned to the third innermost line of defense. This line of defense is undoubtedly the safest. Only when the first two lines collapse, the third line of defense will meet the enemy's impact.
This was a special arrangement by Prince Nicholas, and Bai Xiaowen was also appointed as the former enemy commander of the third line of defense.
This is part of the hidden benefit of completing the second step of the heroic level side mission, that is, Prince Nicholas's favorability. Without affecting the overall situation, he will arrange Bai Xiaowen's army in a safer position.
Bai Xiaowen climbed up to a high place and looked into the distance. He could vaguely see the vanguard of the survivors, groups of short and stocky orc laborers, busy building camps and preparing resting places for the groups of troops that would follow.
.
"The third line of defense is not safe, but it seems we should be closer to the front, right?" Li Shuyi said, "Only by killing more enemies can we get more treasure boxes and earn merit points."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "Who said you can't kill the enemy on the third line of defense? The first line of defense has to bear the charge of the survivors. At that time, the morale of the survivors is at its peak, and there is no benefit." 8)
