Chapter 268: Side Quest: Black Blade's Oath (2-in-1)
Bang!
Wisps of gathered fire erupted in the body of a blue-faced and fanged humanoid monster, and the opponent's body fell with a bang. In front of the monster, Li Shuyi slowly put away her twin swords, and Bai Xiaowen also put away the Desert Eagle.
The Spiritual Rule Prompt message came:
"You eliminated the Half-Orc Scout Squad of the Sinful Alliance. ”
"Your reputation in the Terran Combine has increased, and it is currently Honorable. ”
"Your reputation in the Sinful Coalition has been reduced and is currently Hatred. ”
"Your squad earned 140 merit points this time, for a total of 970 merit points. ”
Li Shuyi's little face was covered with dust and looked very tired: "During this time, we have traveled to more than a dozen territories in Northern Xinjiang, and this is the last territory, right?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded: "Judging from the map, this place belongs to Raya Town, and it is also our last stop." There are still a little more than 16 hours left before the main quest of [Black Rock] opens. Let's go back to Red Leaf City now, bring our troops, and participate in the battle of the Black Rock Line. ”
After order was maintained in Red Leaf City, Bai Xiaowen took Li Shuyi and wandered between 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 angry claws for the two to ride. If it weren't for the fast running speed of Angry Claw, the two of them would definitely not be able to run all over the entire northern frontier in just eight or nine days.
During this period, Bai Xiaowen and the two encountered several groups of infiltration teams of the Sin Domain Alliance, and they were cleared on the spot. They have a certain understanding of the elite members of the various races of the Sin Domain Alliance.
The orc race, divided into pure-blooded orcs and half-blooded half-orcs, is the blue-faced fanged humanoid monster that has just been killed. Pure-blooded orcs are taller and stronger, more brutal in temperament, and no weaker in personal strength than the elite headhunters of the troll clan.
Half-blooded orcs, the product of the mating of orcs and humans, are inferior in strength, but generally more agile.
In addition, there are also the Dark Ranger of the Dark Elf Clan, the Scimitar Warrior and the like, all of which take the agile route.
On the whole, the remnants of the Sin Domain Alliance, whether they are ordinary templates or elite templates, are a little stronger than humans of the same level. Of course, the boss template is not easy to compare.
Bai Xiaowen secretly complained, could it really be that the worse the environment, the more likely it is to appear as a fighting nation? He remembered another time and space, a certain magical nation that can treat brown bears as teddy beating, seems to have lived in the ice and snow for many years.
In any case, the defensive battle of the Black Rock Fortress is a grim situation.
After returning to Red Leaf City, Bai Xiaowen immediately packed up, led the guards, escorted a batch of supplies, and headed to Black Rock City further north.
Now that Bai Xiaowen's guard has swelled to more than 500 people, with money and food, he can naturally continue to expand the number of soldiers. The original proportion of bandits has been diluted to less than half of the proportion, and it is not appropriate to call them bandit guards again, and now they have a more resounding name, the White Rock Army.
Before the second main quest opened, Bai Xiaowen led the White Stone Army to finally come to Black Rock City and meet the prince himself.
After seeing it on the transmission 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 is called the aura of the son of the plane and what is called the demeanor of a king.
Prince Nicholas was dressed in military uniform, and he already had the aura of a generation of kings between his words and deeds, and nothing seemed to be stumbling him, and he always issued appropriate orders to solve new situations in an orderly manner.
A lord in front of Bai Xiaowen had been infected by Prince Nicholas's personality charm, and he bowed his head and was completely impressed by Prince Nicholas's domineering spirit.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi are awakened and immune to Prince Nicholas's aura of the son of the plane.
"You're finally here. Before you, there were eleven orders to be issued, and twice as many people to be heard, but I postponed them all and made a special trip to meet you. Prince Nicholas smiled sincerely.
Bai Xiaowen made a panicked expression: "It is my honor that His Highness attaches great importance to it. ”
Prince Nicholas smiled: "Don't feel panicked, according to your merits, I can't take it too seriously." The people of Red Leaf City can be freed from the clutches of the necromantic plague thanks to you and the polymath under you. By the way, is that polymath here? I'm going to reward him too. ”
Bai Xiaowen sighed and said, "Your Highness, I have done my best, but only about half of the people of Red Leaf City survived, and half of them finally turned into undead and were killed by my guards with their own hands...... I'm ashamed that I didn't save more people. ”
This fact cannot be concealed or tampered with. You know, Prince Nicholas also has two high-level eyes and ears, the knight Job and the knight Ferdinand, who are always paying attention to the changes in Red Leaf City. During the few days of using Plague Buster, the two knights were helping to maintain order in Red Leaf City, and the fact that at least half of them had died was not possible.
Moreover, Bai Xiaowen bought low and sold high, relying on the plague buster industry to make a lot of money, this action could not escape the eyes and ears of the two knights, and Prince Nicholas must also know.
However, Prince Nicholas did not see anything wrong with this. He is a prince who has received royal elite education since he was a child, not a hot-blooded young man who has been brainwashed by knightly dogma, of course he knows the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish.
Bai Xiaowen's rescue of more than 10,000 people is a fact, and it is also an indelible feat, under this premise, Bai Xiaowen is just greedy for money, and he has not crossed the line to forcibly seize it, Prince Nicholas will definitely turn a blind eye.
As for the reward for the erudite, since Bai Xiaowen interrupted the past, Prince Nicholas tacitly did not mention it again - this is actually a taboo topic.
In the world of the Kane plane, there is a saying: A vassal of my vassals is not a vassal of mine.
The explanation is that Bai Xiaowen, the lord, is a vassal of the emperor of the Plantagenet Empire. However, the army and talents under Bai Xiaowen's command are all "vassals" of Bai Xiaowen, and the empire cannot directly order them.
This is also a characteristic of the ancient feudal system of the earth, such as the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in China and the Middle Ages in Europe.
Dr. Zombie has developed an antidote to Plague Buster, and he is definitely a rare talent. Prince Nicholas offered a reward, inevitably to test whether he could dig up this "polymath" and use it for himself.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen is confident, he is the owner of Dr. Zombie, which is undeniable. The reason why he didn't want Dr. Zombie and Prince Nicholas to meet was only because he didn't want to arouse suspicion.
With Dr. Zombie's running train speaking style full of modern words, two sentences are about to be exposed. Prince Nicholas is not an ignorant girl like Bernita, who can be vague and pass. If he sees through the identity of Bai Xiaowen and Dr. Zombie that they do not belong to the Kane Plane World, it will be bad after all.
Prince Nicholas said, "You don't have to blame yourself too much, I am the one who should blame yourself." As a prince, I can't save my people, so I can only give the order to slaughter the city. If it weren't for your existence, not even one of the inhabitants of Momiji City would survive. ”
After a pause, Prince Nicholas said, "You have done a great job. Moreover, I haven't forgotten your exploits in investigating the truth about the necromantic plague in Red Leaf City. ”
The spirit rule prompt sounds:
"Heroic Main Quest Step 2 [Fight the Plague] has met some of the completion conditions. Mission Objective A has been completed, with a solo completion rate of 47%. The overall task completion rate is: 15.67% (unqualified). ”
"Do you submit tasks with the above level of completion?"
[It seems that task objective A is relatively simple, with only 1/3 of the weight in the overall completion, while the overall weight of task objective B is 2/3!] Bai Xiaowen didn't blink his eyes, so he calculated the proportion.
Bai Xiaowen chose to refuse, and in the face of Prince Nicholas's puzzled gaze, he said sincerely: "The cause of fighting the necromantic plague is not over yet, I am determined to wipe out all the plague undead in the entire northern Xinjiang, please ask His Royal Highness the prince for permission." ”
The meaning of this statement is that Bai Xiaowen is unwilling to submit the task, but wants to complete the task goal B together, and finally count the degree of completion.
Prince Nicholas nodded in approval: "Your ambitions are admirable. ”
The spirit rule prompt sounded again:
"Heroic side quest step 2 [Fight the Plague] is temporarily sealed. Now award the Heroic Side Quest Step 1 [Plague Truth] reward. ”
"Your team has earned Terran United Army Merit Points: 3000 points. ”
"You have received a special item: the Oath of Brokenness. ”
"It has been detected that you currently have a total of three special items: Broken Oath, and the side quest [Black Blade's Oath] has been opened. ”
"Objective: Acquire a total of seven special items: Broken Oath and combine them. ”
"Duration of the mandate: none. ”
"Difficulty: Unknown. ”
"Reward: Special Item: Oath of the Black Blade. ”
[Oath of the Black 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, and the total number of team members shall not exceed (2). When team members fight side by side, they will have a certain bonus effect. Once the team is created, it is permanently established, unless the captain chooses to disband. 】
The three thousand merit points are so-so, but the [Broken Oath] reward behind it, as well as the side quest [Black Blade's Oath] that continues to be opened, have greatly lifted Bai Xiaowen's spirits.
This is a permanent team building item!
The permanent team building item can not only save the psionic points of forming a temporary team in the future once and for all, but also has a more important point than the temporary team, that is, the bonus effect of "fighting side by side".
According to the available information, the bonus effect of some teams is very perverted, which can make the strength of the team members get a considerable increase! Of course, there are also some captains with poor luck, and the bonus effect of the team drawn is average, which is also related to the quality of the team-building items.
However, even the "very average" team bonus is better than nothing.
There are seven Black Blade Adjudicator Knights like Ian, and according to the normal way, all seven should be killed, and each of them will drop a "Broken Oath", and finally the combination will be the "Black Blade Oath".
However, Bai Xiaowen has now taken the line of the prince, and everyone is a comrade-in-arms, so he can only take the route of task rewards. Getting the remaining four "broken oaths" from Prince Nicholas has become a major goal for Bai Xiaowen.
Prince Nicholas further said, "According to the previous agreement, you are now the commander of the 17th Infantry Phalanx. The vanguard army of the remnants of the Sin Domain could arrive at any time, and there was no time for us to talk slowly. Go, Lord Dior, and take your troops as the main force and assemble the seventeenth infantry phalanx. The Empire needs your strength. ”
Bai Xiaowen nodded, and beat his chest with his right hand: "I will shed the last drop of blood for the empire, Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Prince Nicholas nodded in satisfaction.
Bai Xiaowen turned to leave, with his super high spiritual power, he could faintly feel that Prince Nicholas's gaze was meaningful, and he continued to stare behind him for a long time.
There are three Black Rock defense lines, each of which has three infantry phalanxes to jointly defend, a total of nine infantry phalanxes, from the eleventh to the nineteenth. These nine phalanxes are all formed by the private soldiers of the lords of Northern Xinjiang.
As for the first to tenth phalanxes, they were the Plantagenet Empire legions led by Prince Nicholas himself, which were garrisoned in the Black Rock Fortress.
To put it simply, the eleventh to nineteenth phalanxes are cannon fodder - the fortress is already overcrowded, and these nine phalanxes cannot be stationed in the fortress, they can only be pulled out to consume the enemy's troops.
Bai Xiaowen's seventeenth infantry phalanx was assigned to the innermost third line of defense. This line of defense is undoubtedly the safest, and only if the first two lines collapse in their entirety, the third line of defense will meet the onslaught of the enemy.
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 2 steps of the hero-level side quest, 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 to a high place and looked into the distance. It seems that the vanguard army of the remnants can be vaguely seen, groups of short, stout orc laborers, busily setting up camps, preparing resting places for the subsequent groups of troops.
"The third line of defense, it's not safe, but it seems that we should be a little ahead, right?" Li Shuyi said, "Only by killing more enemies can we get more treasure chests and earn merit points." ”
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "Who said that you can't kill the enemy on the third line of defense? The first line of defense has to bear the charge of the remnant army, and the morale of the remnants is high at that time, and there is no benefit." ”
