\Ԑ Pu>LJef mc Z X i K :} 9@ɖ \ c { ӆ and Lee Shuyi left Satsuma Port and headed southeast, crossed the river and entered the Pointed Helmet territory, sending the agreed signal.

In the distance, a blue cursor shot straight into the sky.

"Let's go. ”

The two of them ran along the riverbank to the location of the Arcane Beacon, an estuary of a black army.

Most of them are strong and well-armoured rebel soldiers, and after a cursory glance, elite-level occupations actually account for more than half, and they are definitely an elite.

Bai Xiaowen saw Kevin in front of the crowd at a glance, and the arcane beacon on his head was too dazzling.

In front of Kevin, there were also some high-ranking leaders of the Resistance.

"Lord Usok. ”

Before the two of them came to the military formation, Bai Xiaowen handed the safe containing the trade license directly to Usok.

Sure enough, Usok didn't question it, but said with a smile: "It's hard, what is the specific situation? ”

Bai Xiaowen replied: "Time is tight, and it is impossible to apply for a trade license through official channels...... So I found the fleet of the Dirk family, and after obtaining the safe, blew up and sank their main ship. There was no fighting in the process. ”

Usok nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, Dior, your mind is very delicate. Next, they had to salvage the wreck and identify the wreckage, which they couldn't get down without a few days. By the time the Dirk family learns the truth about the theft of the trade license along with the treasure chest, we have entered the North Harbor. ”

Spiritual Rule Tips:

"Level A Side Quest: Trade License Submitted. ”

"You've been rewarded with 1200 Merit Points. ”

"Your reputation in the Northern Resistance has increased, and your current reputation level is: Respect (unchanged). ”

There is also a series of favorability improvement news in the back, which is basically from the top of the rebels, but the increase is not large, indicating that the A-level mission is nothing for the northern rebels at this time, and can only be an appetizer.

"Dior, I have urgently requisitioned a fleet of six hundred brave soldiers to carry out this surprise attack on the North County. Is there anything you need to add to that?"

After the speech at the high-level military meeting, Bai Xiaowen's strategy had been approved by Usoke, so before leaving, he was also consulting him.

Of course, Bai Xiaowen will not be humble, the awakened person has to constantly be in the limelight and shine in the spirit world in the short period of ten days in order to make profits. According to the situation, it is necessary to occasionally hide the weapon in the body, and it is necessary to move when the time comes, but it is even more undesirable to keep the light and obscurity.

"In this surprise attack, the number of soldiers is not the key, it is enough, the key lies in the commander. ”

Bai Xiaowen asked in a deep voice, "If Lord Usoke can fight in person, he will definitely be able to break through the North County." ”

Usok smiled and shook his head: "After sending you away, I will immediately go to Elu City to take up the defense." Located in the heart of the North, bordered by Maka, Waltron, Satsuma, Helmet, and Blackthorn, the Elu Territory is strategically important. Even if we can't take the North County, we can't leave the Elu Collar behind. ”

After a pause, Usok said, "In addition, if I don't go to Elu City and be detected by the enemy, I may guess our strategic intention to surprise the Northern County, which will make it more difficult for you. ”

Bai Xiaowen said: "If Lord Usok can't go, I ask to command this battle. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of silence in the audience.

Usok looked around the field, "What do you think?"

A rebel general said: "No, Dio has never had any experience leading troops before. ”

"Yes, and Dior is not very qualified, and he is not familiar enough with the soldiers on this expedition to convince the public. Another said.

The strong man Tagott said with a big grin: "It's okay for Dio to come up with an idea, but coming up with an idea is not the same thing as personally leading the troops to fight. ”

A group of rebel generals expressed their attitudes one after another, and they were not optimistic about Bai Xiaowen's command of the surprise attack on Beijun.

Ursok groaned: "I know very well what the Dior brothers want, but what everyone said is true. It is better to do this: I have appointed Grima as the commander of this expedition, and Dio as a staff officer with the army. ”

Grima stepped forward and fell to his knees: "In the name of the great god of war, Ishtar, I swear to present this victory for Lord Usok. ”

Usok said solemnly: "As the commander of this battle, you must listen carefully to the opinions of the Dior brothers. ”

"Yes. Grima stood up and nodded at Bai Xiaowen.

"Dio, do you have a problem with this arrangement?" asked Usok.

Bai Xiaowen smiled slightly: "No opinion." ”

In fact, Bai Xiaowen had long known that it was impossible for him to get the command of this important battle, for the same reason as those rebel generals said, he had no experience in leading troops to fight, and his reputation among the rebels was not high, how could he become a commander?

Ursok sent Grima, the confidant in charge, to command, and this was the normal choice.

Asking for command, Bai Xiaowen just asked for a sky-high price, and Usok let Bai Xiaowen accompany the army as a staff officer, and asked Grima to pay attention to his opinion, which has basically achieved his goal.

The commander and staff were decided, and then Usok assigned several chief-level generals to accompany the army into battle.

Kevin said, "Lord Usok, I want to participate in this battle as well. ”

"Archmage Kevin?" Grima was slightly stunned. Kevin, who has always been concerned about himself, actually took the initiative to ask to fight, it seems that this surprise attack on Beijun is indeed a good opportunity for meritorious service.

Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes.

Usok laughed, "Okay, with my chief mage in battle, it's enough to have an elite army." ”

At this time, Bai Xiaowen finally received a reminder message from the rules of the spirit world:

"[Hero Side Quest: Surprise Attack on North County] opens. ”

[Objective: Assist the rebels in capturing the lord's hall in the North County and control 75% of the important areas of the North County City.] 】”

"[Difficulty: B]"

"[Reward: Unknown]"

"[Mission Duration: 120 Hours]"

Li Shuyi said in a low voice: "Xiaowen, it's a hero-level branch again." There was a hint of excitement in her voice.

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile in the team channel: "According to my summary, it is normal to evaluate the task of a hero rank in this kind of large-scale legion battle. ”

"It's a pity that the difficulty of the mission is B-level, which is not very high. ”

After the training after the CUAA national competition, the strength of both of them has improved significantly, and Li Shuyi has obviously swelled a little......

Bai Xiaowen shook his head with a smile: "B-level hero mission, the difficulty should not be underestimated...... In fact, with the important position of the northern county as the capital of the northern border, the siege battle should be more than B-level difficulty, but the specific situation must be considered. The Northern County must have sent a lot of troops to Elu City, which was empty of garrisons. And on our side, there are also Grimma, Kevin, and two other leader-level rebel generals fighting, which also reduces the difficulty. ”

The two quickly took over the task.

Usok laughed and said, "Alright, I will repel the invading enemy army in Elu City, and wait for news of your triumph." ”

"Lord Usock, be careful. Grima said.

Ursock's elite army is used to raid the North County, and he will only bring a few auxiliaries and old and weak troops with him to Elu City this time, and the strong man Tagott will also go with him because he is too conspicuous, but the guards with him are still too weak.

Usok was not nervous, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, after the news of your capture of the North County comes out, the soldiers of the North County led by Arenas will definitely be discouraged, and the siege of Elu City will be lifted naturally." ”

Bai Xiaowen secretly said in his heart, Usoke is really a generation of heroes, and he is quite courageous.

Kevin picked up the safe, and as a multi-skilled spell master, he easily unlocked the magic seal without triggering the alarm.

After unlocking the seal, the strong man Tagot smashed it down with a hammer, and the safe carved from hard golden silk nan wood was torn apart in an instant.

Not only was there a trade license, but also some gold and silver goods from Captain Dirk's personal collection.

Usoke was very generous, and with a wave of his hand, he rewarded these treasures to the meritorious minister Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen was very happy on the surface, but he was actually not interested in these gold and silver belongings, the reason was very simple, these were all things that could not be brought out of the spiritual realm.

This involves the "resonance" of psionic particles, this safe was stolen by Bai Xiaowen, not a loot dropped from a monster, nor is it one of the task rewards, of course, it can't be brought out of the spirit world. There is also a trade license, which cannot be taken out of the spirit realm.

A group of mermaids boarded the boat, and the fleet set off.

The surprise raid fleet made a certain disguise, flying the flag of the Dirk family, and the leader disguised himself as a merchant, most of the elite warriors were hidden in the cargo hold, and a small number of rebel soldiers disguised as sailors.

Such a contingent of armed merchant ships, which is not known how many there are in the Strait of Boguas, certainly does not arouse suspicion.

Ursoke was indeed prepared for this raid, and when he sent Bai Xiaowen to get a trade permit, he also recruited two veterans who had been accustomed to running the trade routes of the Boguas Strait with armed merchant ships as pilots.

According to the statements of the two veterans, the Strait of Boguas is not peaceful, and there are two main aspects.

First, it was the attack of ferocious sea beasts.

The silverback shark school in the Boguas Strait is a very deadly threat to small and medium-sized ships - as a spiritual creature, of course, unlike ordinary sharks, it is an elite aquatic beast, which can easily overturn small boats, and people and animals who fall into the water naturally become a good meal.

Sharks don't threaten large armed merchant ships, but that doesn't mean rest easy, because there's another fearsome sea beast in the Boguas Strait – the killer whale!

Killer whale is the native name of the Aaronic plane world, and if it is on Earth, it should be called orca or killer whale. This kind of leader-level sea beast is much more powerful than sharks, and it is also a highly social creature, which usually does not appear alone, but is a family.

Unlike sharks, the continuous onslaught of killer whales is fully capable of destroying large armed merchant ships.

The second is the plundering of pirate ships.

The Vikings are a tough race, and those who take risks and sail into the sea to become pirates are even more difficult to mess with. To be honest, the guns and ammunition on the ship were mainly used against Viking pirates......

At this time, the value of two experienced veterans is reflected, they can guide the fleet, according to the change of seasons and the direction of the currents, to avoid the corresponding sea beast infested area, to avoid the pirate flood area.

If you're unlucky enough to encounter a pirate, it's only a fight.

Fortunately, the fleet did not encounter pirates, only a group of silverback sharks, and swam with the fleet for a while, but they could not take the large merchant ships.

Two pilot veterans took out two cows, cut the arteries and pushed them into the sea, allowing the silverback sharks to compete for food, so that they could be freed.

Bai Xiaowen originally thought that this would be an extra move, because the silverback shark group could not threaten the big ship. But the veteran quickly told him what he had done - getting rid of the silverback shark colony was not about being afraid of sharks, but about preventing sharks from attracting killer whales, which are also food for the killer whale population.

This time when he went to sea by boat, Bai Xiaowen also gained a lot of knowledge.

Come to think of it, the earth's oceans in the psionic age should also be like this, containing all kinds of dangers, right? Although there are awakened people on the earth now, they are still blind to the ocean, and their control is far less than that of the A.D. 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 the northern capital of Beijun, which is very close to the northern harbor and is itself a coastal city.

Master Kevin mixed some paints and disguised Grima according to Bai Xiaowen's description, which was a little similar to Captain Dirk. As for Bai Xiaowen's impression of Captain Dirk, it only exists in Bafort's memory fragments.

In addition, the aura of several bosses has also been disguised, disguised as the aura of ordinary or elite templates.

However, this busyness was ultimately useless, because the Beihai Port inspected the trade license, and it was completely certified and did not recognize the person, and even the inspection of the goods was very lax, and after registering the words "three ships of rice", he waved his hand and let it go.

Carts were pushed off the boat and drove to the nearby North County Town.

Outsiders thought that these carts were full of rice, but in fact they were rebel soldiers armed with sharp blades.

The convoy didn't run into trouble until it came to the gate of the North County City - the Imperial Army officers guarding the gate would strictly and meticulously inspect every cart of goods entering the city, among which the convoy of straw, cereals, and other goods that were easy to hide smuggling would also be poked in by sharp knives for inspection.

That's why there was such a long line at the gates of the city. It is estimated that when it is Bai Xiaowen's turn to convoy, it will be dark.

"Guys, we can't just wait, we have to find a way. ”

Several leaders of the rebels, including Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, had a brief meeting, and Grima spoke first and said in a low voice:

"Although the northern county city has drawn most of the troops, the remaining old and weak soldiers are still more than enough to defend the city, and we have hundreds of people, it is not enough to attack the city, we must sneak in. ”
