The beacon tower, also known as the beacon, was an important defense facility in ancient China.

Smoke is applied during the day, called flint; Ignition at night, called beacons, is used to convey military information!

――Excerpt from "Essays of Ling Zikai"

Leng Zi and Xiao Yi are transported to a mission scene that is shrouded in darkness!

A high bright moon hung in the night sky, but the stars in the cloudless night sky were very scarce, it was winter, the snow covered the earth, and a city wall that meandered and stood on the mountain range, as far as the eye could see, penetrated into the deepest part of the night......

The moon and stars are scarce, the snow is white, the lonely wall is cold, and the night is silent.

Great Wall?!

No wonder the mission name is Night Watchman, the one who patrols the night vigil on the Great Wall!

Not far away, next to the beacon tower, stands an NPC who looks like a pikeman, and the golden question mark on his head proves that he is the trigger and narrator of the mission!

Leng Zi took Xiao Yi to the pikeman NPC to trigger the plot.

The pikeman NPC automatically spoke: "On the northern ice field, there are all kinds of creatures that threaten the lives of the people behind the Great Wall, such as snow monsters, ice wolves, snow wolves, and ice field savages...... The ancestors spent countless manpower and material resources to build this barrier to protect the safety of people's lives and property, and doing a good job in the vigil of the Great Wall is the most comprehensive test for a soldier! ”

After the NPC pikemen finished speaking, the quest prompt popped up in front of Lingzi and Xiaoyi!

Mission Tips: Keep a vigil patrol on the Great Wall to deal with any emergencies until the vigil is time-limited, with a two-hour mission time.

……

After reading the quest prompt, Ridge touched his chin, although there were not many quest prompts, but Ridge extracted a lot of information from the NPC's words.

Because according to the task brief before taking the task, the difficulty of the task is random and accidental.

Therefore, the creatures that attack at night must not be fixed, and there may be any one or several of the snow monsters, ice wolves, snow wolves, and ice savages, and the completion of the task is recorded within a limited time, so that the free play space of the edge is much larger!

……

"Brother! Is the night patrol just walking around the city walls?! Xiao Yi suddenly asked.

"Pretty much that!" Lezi pointed to the beacon, "The main thing is to let the player light the beacon and send a military signal when the enemy is invading!" ”

Xiaoyi is very clever to associate: "It's a game of finding fault in the dark!" When the enemy comes, light the beacon! That's not very difficult! ”

Leoko smiled: "You can also not light the beacon!" ”

"Don't light the beacon?! Wouldn't that be a failure?! Xiao Yi didn't understand the idea of doing tasks on the edges.

Ryoko explained, "The difficulty level of this quest is based on the creatures of the Night Raid! If you light the beacon, there will be NPC reinforcements, so won't there be NPCs to rob and kill monsters! So you can deliberately delay the beacon tower and kill all the enemies with a lot of killing experience! ”

After all, he is still a child, and Xiaoyi still has little experience in playing games: "Can you still play games like this?!" ”

Lingzi nodded, and took Xiaoyi to start patrolling the Great Wall......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In fact, the process of the mission, as Xiao Yi said before, is a game of finding fault with a dark background!

The overall background of the game is night, but because it is a clear sky and a bright moon and snow, the snow can still reflect a little moonlight, and through the moonlight reflected in the snow, you can find the shadow moving in the direction of the city wall on the slightly whitish snow, that is, the enemy; And in the dark night, the eyes of animals are reflective, such as the ice wolf, as long as you see a green dot on the black background, it is the ice wolf!

……

Missions in the expedition mode, Lingzi generally brings his own special class of troops to battle, seven special classes + one ordinary class, a total of eight soldiers to fight, five of them will be long-range, and there are controllable crossbow carts to help!

And as a ninth-order elf mage hero, Xiao Yi can only lead six troops, in this morning's event, Aya Qi and Bingling gave Xiao Yi a fifth-order unicorn and a few silver Pegasus knights, Xiao Yi himself also has a few third-order elf archers, and now the troops that Xiao Yi brought into the mission scene are: two fifth-order unicorns, fourth-order silver Pegasus knights and third-order elf archers!

In the beginning, there weren't many enemies on the ice fields that took advantage of the darkness of the night to raid!

There are five ranged troops under the command of Lingzi + cross-company ballista and intermediate ballista, plus Xiaoyi's two elf archers.

With the long-range output ability of the two of them alone, it is enough to kill the sporadic ice creatures that appear in an instant.

You can completely follow what Prism said, you don't need to light the beacon to notify the NPC, you can kill all the enemies with only the long-range attacks of Prism and Xiaoyi, and earn experience in killing enemies!

However, as time passed, the events in the mission that showed the difficulty of the mission occurred!

……

Whew~

Whew~

In the area beyond the Great Wall, the night shrouded the howls of wolves rang out one after another!

These two wolf howls are obviously sound effects from active stunts!

Because the NPC pikemen also mentioned the types of creatures that could attack, I had encountered the edges of this class before, and I immediately heard what the class was.

"Snow wolf?! The creature level is not high, but it will be similar to the infinite summoning of the same class's stunts, which should be considered a C-level difficulty! Lingzi muttered to herself.

The NPC pikemen with four pikemen who looked like him, I don't know where they suddenly jumped out, and said to Lingzi and Xiaoyi in a hurry: "This is the howl of the Snow Wolf King, although ordinary snow wolves are only second-order, and their own combat effectiveness is not strong, but in the battle on the snow where they live, their strength will be higher, and their howls will always summon their companions to help." The Snow Wolf King has not appeared for many years, and he must do his best to eliminate the Snow Wolf King! Please follow me over the Great Wall and slay the Snow Wolf King! ”

Quest Tip: Follow the captain on duty to rush out of the Great Wall and kill the Snow Wolf King!

"Xiaoyi! You stay on the city wall and continue to kill the incoming enemies, and I will follow the NPC to go outside to kill the Snow Wolf King! Lingzi instructed Xiao Yi, and then Lingzi took out an attack magic scroll with a fireball from his backpack, "If you feel that you can't hold it soon, use it to light the beacon." ”

Xiao Yi took the scroll of the prism and nodded: "Oh! ”

Leng Zi operated his own troops, followed by the pikeman-like captain of the night and his four minions, and rushed down the Great Wall......
