Chapter 5: Leading the Reinforcements
"You fart! That guy knocked us away with one move, how could you possibly hold up three moves? The black stripe in the waves immediately retorted with some weakness.
"No, it's easy for me to remember..."Jiang Zhuo still looked like a little white, pulled out the spear behind his back and pestle it on the ground diagonally, "As long as he attacks you, stick the weapon on the ground and use the ground to unload it." ”
"Is there such an operation?"
"Is that our own problem?"
"But we don't use guns, swords and knives are so short, how can we block the move with a pestle on the ground?"
"Half-squat?"
The three of them were suddenly a little confused, but seeing that Jiang Zhuo's posture was so standard, and looking at the posture of a generation of grandmasters in martial arts movies, they immediately suspected their own problems.
"I don't know what to do... Let's try it again when you come out, maybe you can... This equipment is a level 5 normal-level weapon! ”
Jiang Zhuo left with a smile, and his smile retracted as soon as he turned the corner, and then he immediately found the village chief who was supervising the militia operations in the village at the entrance of the village.
"Village Chief, Bo has just appeared here with us, will you run with me?" Jiang Zhuo looked at the old village chief of Wangjia Village with anticipation, as long as the village chief who could give a letter of introduction was still alive, he didn't need to change his birthplace.
"Stranger, your accent is a little unique, I don't understand it very well..."The village chief of Wangjia Village looked at Jiang Zhuo in confusion, NPCs all have a certain amount of intelligence, and the intelligence of the big boss is comparable to the alpha dog that can abuse the world's Go masters by playing Go. However, it is obvious that the intelligence of the village chief of Wangjia Village is very average and he can't understand too complex sentences.
"I mean, Bocai! The big boss can destroy the entire Wangjia Village. Hurry up and call the folks to run for their lives, right? Jiang Zhuo repeated, he remembered that NPCs at the level of village chief already knew how to escape.
"Stranger, your accent is a bit unique, I don't understand it..."
"Damn... I say, strategic retreat? ”
"No! This is our homeland, how can we leave? The village chief of Wangjia Village understood this time, but he refused righteously, with the wrinkles on his face and fluttering white beard, it looked a little bit tragic.
Jiang Zhuo was about to participate in the battle in desperation, but the village chief stopped him, "Zhuangshi, I need your help." But you are too weak, can I trust you? ”
"Yes! There is no one in this village who can be trusted more than me! Jiang Zhuo's mind flashed with inspiration, he already roughly knew what would happen next, and sure enough, the village chief took out a letter and handed it to Jiang Zhuo, "You take this letter to Geyang County, hand it over to the county commander of Geyang County, and ask him for reinforcements." ”
System prompt: The village chief has issued a task [Request for Help] to you, please send the letter of request for help to the hands of the county magistrate of Geyang County within half an hour.
"Okay, I'll do it!" Jiang Zhuo snatched the letter and ran away immediately, this letter for help should also have the function of a letter of introduction, he didn't have to worry about being randomly assigned to other places. It's just that Wangjiacun has fallen, and he will still be downgraded by 5 levels. It's only level 5, and when he went to Geyang County, he had a way to brush it up.
Jiang Zhuo's level is not enough, if he hadn't triggered the Yellow Turban Rebellion and had the ancestral spear of the village chief in his hand, this guy wouldn't have given him this task.
There was a post station in the village, and Jiang Zhuo came here and divided 50 of the 63 copper coins left on his body and handed them to the horseman. After choosing the destination of Geyang County, Jiang Zhuo was teleported to a scene. He sat in the passenger seat of the carriage, flanked by a fast-paced view.
The amount of time the player spends in this scene depends on the distance they teleport, which is basically one hundredth of the time it takes to walk. If Jiang Zhuo wanted to go to Luoyang from here, it might take several days to take a carriage.
After calling up the system mini-game and playing minesweeping for twenty minutes, Jiang Zhuo finally arrived in Geyang County, which was already crowded with people at this time, after all, it was one of the only seven towns in the vast area of Poyang County.
The post station Geyang Station is in the east gate of Geyang County, not close to the county government in the center of the city.
"Fuck it, it's not fast enough..."Jiang Zhuo's shoes are still just level 0 inferior novice clothes, and the speed is as slow as kneeling and crawling. It had already taken him twenty minutes to get in the car, and the next ten minutes he found that it didn't seem to be enough.
In desperation, Jiang Zhuo stopped an NPC sedan chair carried by two people, and spent all 13 copper coins on his body, which only shortened the trip by one-third. He hurried and hurried, and finally arrived at the county office within the time limit and handed over the letter of request for help to the county magistrate.
The county order has the appearance of serving the country and the people, but Jiang Zhuo knows that all the county orders now, as long as they have no name or surname, are the same template. When the game progresses slowly and the county order is replaced, a variety of county orders will appear.
"I know, I will immediately ask the county lieutenant to send troops, please lead the way."
System Prompt: Congratulations on completing the quest [Help], gaining 500 experience points and 10 copper coins.
System prompt: The county magistrate of Geyang County has issued a task [Guiding the Way] to you, please immediately follow the county lieutenant to send troops to Wangjia Village to save Wangjia Village from danger. Failed mission, level -5!
"Hmm..." Jiang Zhuo covered his heart, only to feel a mouthful of blood suffocating in his chest. He remembered that the letter for help generally has the function of a letter of introduction, and he can take the follow-up task and stay in Geyang County, why does this county commander have to be special?
Lieutenant of Geyang County (Small Commander)
Level: 20
Health: ???
Attack:???
Physical Defense: ???
Surgical Defense: ???
Velocity:???
Skill:???
At this time, a burly man with a double axe pinned to his waist walked in, and Jiang Zhuo could only see his title and rank. If the level difference is more than 10 levels, neither friend nor foe can observe the attribute panel.
"County Captain, there is a rebellion in Wangjia Village, please immediately lead the county soldiers to Wangjia Village to rescue. This strong man is from Wangjia Village, and he will lead the way for you. ”
"Yes!" The county lieutenant hugged his fists boldly, pulled Jiang Zhuo and left. The 100 county soldiers had already assembled outside the county office, and at this time, a novice prompt appeared in Jiang Zhuo's field of vision, asking him to ride one of the two horses in front of the county soldiers' phalanx.
"Get on the horse, little brother, we only know the general scope of Wangjia Village, and we still need you to lead the way." The county lieutenant got on the horse that looked stronger and better nourished.
Jiang Zhuo was neither polite nor excited, mainly because he knew that this horse would definitely not be one of the phased rewards of the mission, or even the final reward of this task. Because of the player's mount, the cheapest horse with the system price will also sell for 10 gold.
On the horse, although there were no saddles and bilateral stirrups in this era, a sense of familiarity emerged from Jiang Zhuo's memory, allowing him to ride the horse confidently.
Outside the county office, because the county soldiers were gathered, many players had already been attracted to stop and watch, and when they saw Jiang Zhuo coming out of the county government and getting on the horse, they were immediately in an uproar.
"Doesn't the official website say that players can only unlock the mount system when they reach level 30? Is this a GM (Game Manager)? ”
"The name of the GM should be a little decorative, right?"
"Who knows? Maybe people have it, but they don't want to use it in order to pretend to be forced? ”
"Brother GM! You're so handsome, can you take me on a horseback ride? A lively girl screamed on the side of the street, causing the onlookers to burst into laughter, and Jiang Zhuo also shook his head helplessly.
