Chapter 606 Hero Branch: Raid North County! (2 in 1)
Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi left Satsuma Port and returned to the southeast. After crossing the river, they entered the Sharp Helmet territory and sent out the agreed signal.
From a distance, I saw a blue cursor rising straight into the sky.
"Walk."
The two of them ran along the river bank to the location of the arcane beacon, which was a river mouth covered in darkness and surrounded by an army.
Most of them are strong and well-built resistance soldiers with bright armor. After a cursory glance, more than half of them are from elite professions. They are definitely an elite force.
Bai Xiaowen caught a glimpse of Kevin in front of the crowd. The arcane beacon on his head was too dazzling.
In front of Kevin were some senior leaders of the resistance.
"Lord Ursoc."
When the two of them arrived at the military formation, Bai Xiaowen handed the safe containing the trade license directly to Ursok.
As expected, Ursock did not question it, but said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, what is the specific situation? It is not exposed."
Bai Xiaowen replied: "Time was tight and I couldn't apply for a trade license through official channels... So I found the Decker family's fleet, and after obtaining the safe, I blew up and sank their main ship. This process did not happen.
fighting."
Ursok nodded with satisfaction and said: "Very good, Dio, you are very thoughtful. Next, they have to salvage the sunken ship and identify the wreckage. They will not be able to do it in a few days. When the Dirk family knows about the trade license and the treasure box,
The truth behind the theft is that we have entered Beihai Port."
Spiritual world rules prompt information:
"A-level side mission: Trade license has been submitted."
"You received a reward of 1,200 merit points."
"Your reputation among the Northern Resistance Army has increased. Your current reputation level is: Respect (unchanged)."
There was a series of news about increasing favorability, basically from the top brass of the resistance, but the increase was not large, indicating that A-level missions were nothing to the northern resistance at this time, and could only be
An appetizer.
"Dio, I have urgently requisitioned a fleet to carry six hundred brave soldiers to carry out this surprise attack on North County. Do you have anything to add to this?"
After speaking at the high-level military meeting, Bai Xiaowen's strategy had been approved by Ursok, so he also consulted his opinion before leaving.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen will not be humble. During the short period of more than ten days in the spiritual world, the awakened person must continue to be in the limelight and shine in order to make profits. According to the situation, it is necessary to occasionally hide the weapon in the body and wait for the time. However, if you hide your strength and bide your time,
Even more undesirable.
"In this surprise attack, the number of soldiers is not the key, just enough is enough. The key is the commander."
Bai Xiaowen asked in a deep voice: "If Lord Ursock can fight in person, he will definitely be able to defeat Beijun."
Ursok shook his head with a smile: "After I send you away, I will immediately go to Elu City to defend. The Elu territory is located in the central area of the northern border, together with Maca, Voltron, Satsuma, Pointed Helm and Blackthorn Territory.
The strategic position of the border is very important. Even if we cannot take the North County, we cannot leave the Elu Territory behind."
After a pause, Ursok continued: "In addition, if I don't go to Ellu City and the enemy detects this information, they may guess our strategic intention of surprise attack on Beijun, which will make it more difficult for you."
Bai Xiaowen said: "If Lord Ursock cannot go, I request to command this battle."
As soon as these words came out, there was a moment of silence.
Ursok looked around the field: "What do you think?"
A rebel general said: "It's not suitable. Dio has never had the experience of leading troops before."
"Yes, and Dio's qualifications are not deep, and he is not familiar enough with the soldiers on this expedition to convince the crowd." Another person said.
The strong man Tagote said carelessly: "It's okay for Dio to come up with an idea, but coming up with an idea and leading the troops to fight are two different things."
All the generals of the resistance army expressed their opinions one after another, and they were not optimistic about Bai Xiaowen's command of the surprise attack on Beijun.
Ursok pondered and said: "I know very well what brother Dio wants, but what everyone said does make sense. How about this: I appoint Grima as the commander-in-chief of this expedition, and Dio will accompany the army as a staff officer."
Grima stood up and knelt down on one knee: "In the name of the great war god Ishtar, I swear to dedicate this victory to Lord Ursoc."
Ursok said seriously: "As the commander in this battle, you must listen carefully to the opinions of Brother Dio."
"Yes." Grima stood up and nodded towards Bai Xiaowen.
"Dior, do you have any objection to this arrangement?" Ursok asked.
Bai Xiaowen smiled slightly: "No objection."
In fact, Bai Xiaowen had known for a long time that he would not be able to get the command of this important battle. The reason was the same as what the resistance generals said. He had no experience in leading troops in war, and his reputation among the resistance was not high. Why?
Possibly becoming a commander?
Ursoc sent Glima, his confidant, to take command. This was the normal choice.
When asking for command rights, Bai Xiaowen just asked for a huge price, but Ursock asked Bai Xiaowen to accompany the army as a staff officer, and asked Grima to pay attention to his opinions, which basically achieved his goal.
The commander and staff decided, and then Ursock appointed several leader-level generals to accompany the army into battle.
Kevin said: "Lord Ursok, I also hope to participate in this battle."
"Master Kevin?" Glima was slightly startled. Kevin, who had always been concerned about matters other than his own, actually took the initiative to ask to fight. It seems that this surprise attack on Beijun is indeed a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes.
Ursok laughed loudly: "Okay, with my chief mage going to fight, it can equal an elite army."
At this time, Bai Xiaowen finally received the spirit world rules prompt message:
"[Heroic Side Mission: Surprise Attack on North County] is started."
"[Mission goal: Assist the rebels to occupy the Lord's Hall in Beijun City and control 75% of the important areas in Beijun City.]"
"[Task difficulty: b]"
"[Task Reward: Unknown]"
"[Mission period: 120 hours]"
Li Shuyi whispered: "Xiaowen, it's another heroic branch." There was a hint of excitement in her voice.
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile in the team channel: "According to my summary, in this kind of large-scale legion battle, it is normal to give a hero-level mission evaluation."
"It's a pity that the difficulty of the mission is level B, which is not very high."
After the training after the uaa national competition, the strength of both of them has improved significantly, and Li Shuyi is obviously a little inflated...
Bai Xiaowen smiled and shook his head: "The difficulty of the B-level hero mission should not be underestimated... In fact, with Beijun's important position as the capital of the northern border, the siege battle should be more than B-level difficulty, but the specific situation must be considered. Beijun should have sent a lot of troops
Heading to the city of Elu, the city's defenses are empty. Moreover, on our side, there are also Grima, Kevin and two other leader-level rebel generals participating in the battle, which also reduces the difficulty."
The two quickly took over the task.
Ursok laughed and said: "Okay, I will repel the invading enemy forces in Ellu City and wait for news of your triumphant return."
"Lord Ursoc, be careful," Grima said.
Ursock's elite army is used to raid North County. This time he will only bring a few auxiliaries and old and weak troops to Ellu City. Tagot, a strong man, will also go with him because he is too conspicuous, but
The guard force I carry with me is still too weak.
Ursok was not nervous, and waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. After the news of your capture of Beijun comes out, the soldiers of Beijun led by Arenas will definitely lose their morale, and the siege of Elu City will be lifted naturally."
Bai Xiaowen secretly thought that Ursock was indeed a powerful man of his generation and quite courageous.
Kevin picked up the safe. As a multi-specialized magic expert, he easily unlocked the magic seal without triggering the alarm.
After unlocking the seal, the strong man Tagote smashed it down with a hammer, and the safe carved from hard golden nanmu fell into pieces in an instant.
There is not only a trade license inside, but also some gold and silver belongings from Captain Dirk's private collection.
Wusok was very generous and rewarded the meritorious minister Bai Xiaowen with these properties with a wave of his hand.
Bai Xiaowen looked very happy on the surface, but in fact he had little interest in these gold and silver belongings. The reason was very simple. These were things that could not be taken out of the spiritual world.
This again involves the issue of "resonance" of psychic particles. This safe was stolen by Bai Xiaowen. It is not a trophy dropped from the monster, nor is it one of the mission rewards. Of course, it cannot be taken out of the spirit world. The same thing is also true.
Even if you have a trade license, you cannot take it out of the spirit world.
The group of people filed into the boat and the fleet set off.
The surprise attack fleet made a certain disguise, flying the flag of the Decker family, and the leader disguised himself as a businessman. Most of the elite soldiers were hidden in the cargo hold, and a small number of resistance fighters were disguised as sailors.
Such a fleet of armed merchant ships, no matter how many there are in the Boguas Strait, will certainly not arouse suspicion.
Ursok was indeed prepared for this raid. When he sent Bai Xiaowen to obtain a trade license, he also recruited two veterans who had followed armed merchant ships on the Boguas Strait trade route as pilots.
According to the statements of two veterans, the Boguas Strait is not peaceful, mainly in two aspects.
The first is the attack by ferocious sea beasts.
The silverback shark swarm in the Boguas Strait is a fatal threat to small and medium-sized ships. As spiritual creatures, the shark swarm is of course different from ordinary sharks. They are elite aquatic beasts and can easily knock over small boats and fall into the water.
The people and animals naturally become delicious meals.
Sharks do not threaten large armed merchant ships, but this does not mean that you can sit back and relax, because there is another terrifying sea beast in the Boguas Strait, the killer whale!
Killer whale is the local name in the world of Aaron's plane. If it were on earth, it would be called a killer whale or a killer whale. This kind of alpha-level sea beast is much more powerful than a shark, and it is also a highly social creature. It usually does not
They will appear alone and become a family.
Unlike sharks, the continuous attacks of killer whale swarms are fully capable of destroying large armed merchant ships.
The second is the plundering of pirate ships.
The Vikings are a powerful race, and those who take risks and sail into the sea for piracy are even more difficult to deal with. To be honest, the artillery and ammunition equipped on the ship are mainly used to deal with Viking pirates...
At this time, the value of two experienced veterans is reflected. They can guide the fleet to avoid the corresponding areas where sea beasts are ravaged, and avoid areas where pirates are the hardest hit, according to the changes of the seasons and the direction of the ocean currents.
If you are unlucky enough to encounter pirates, the only option is to fight.
Fortunately, the fleet did not encounter pirates. They only encountered a group of silverback sharks, which swam with the fleet for a while, but they had nothing to do with large merchant ships.
Two veteran pilots took out two cows, cut their arteries and pushed them into the sea to let a group of silverback sharks compete for food before they were freed.
Bai Xiaowen originally thought it was unnecessary because the silverback shark swarm could not threaten the big ship. But the veteran quickly told him the reason. Getting rid of the silverback shark swarm was not about fear of sharks, but to prevent the shark swarm from attracting killer whales, because the shark swarm also
Food for the killer whale population.
Bai Xiaowen also gained a lot of knowledge after taking a boat out to sea.
Come to think of it, the earth's oceans in the era of psychic energy should be like this, containing all kinds of dangers, right? Although humans on earth now have awakened people, they still have a dark eye on the oceans, and their control is far less than in the AD era.
At the end of the two-day voyage, standing on the deck, Bai Xiaowen could see the lighthouse and dock of Beihai Port.
This is the territory of Beijun, the capital of the North. Beijun City and Beihai Port are very close to each other, and it can be regarded as a coastal city in itself.
Master Kevin mixed some paints and disguised Grima according to Bai Xiaowen's description, as long as it was somewhat similar to Captain Dirk. As for Bai Xiaowen's impression of Captain Dirk, it only existed in Bafour's memory fragments.
In addition, the auras of several leaders were also disguised, disguised as the auras of ordinary or elite templates.
However, all this busyness turned out to be in vain, because the Beihai Port inspection of the trade license was completely authentic and did not recognize the person. Even the inspection of the goods was very lax. After registering the words "three ships of rice", they waved it through.
Carts were pushed off the ship one after another and drove towards Beijun City, which was only a short distance away.
Outsiders thought these carts were filled with rice, but actually what was hidden inside were rebel soldiers armed with sharp knives.
The convoy arrived at the gate of Beijun City before encountering the troublesome imperial officer guarding the gate. Every cart of goods entering the city will be strictly and carefully inspected. Among them, straw, grain and other convoys that are easy to hide will also be inspected.
Poke it in with a sharp knife to check.
Because of this, there was such a long queue at the city gate. It was estimated that it would be dark when it was Bai Xiaowen's turn.
"Guys, we can't just wait like this, we must find a way."
Several rebel leaders, including Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, held a brief meeting. Grima spoke first and whispered:
"Although Beijun City has mobilized most of its troops, the remaining old and weak soldiers are more than enough to defend the city. With a few hundred of us, it is not enough to attack the city. We must sneak in."
