Chapter 618: Mission
The second-class battle merit is the admission ticket to enter the central battlefield of Eden. Undoubtedly, this kind of special mission exists on several other planets as well. This is undoubtedly a signal to the participants that there is probably only one place that can enter the central battlefield. Of course, in addition to this method, the participants can also achieve the same conditions by accumulating military merits. This doesn't seem to be difficult, but the promotion of military merit is a ten-level system, so as long as you imagine the difficulty of killing ten Dark Titans, you will know that it is not easy to win a second-class merit.
Besides, this special task is not so easy to complete. It includes two conditions, not to mention figuring out the strategic intentions of the alien race on the planet, just saying that digging out the location of the opponent's main force is enough to make people headache. After all, even if it is an asteroid like Frost, if it is a human unit, its territory is vast enough. It's so vast that you don't want to go to every corner of the planet in a few years or more.
The first condition alone will knock many people down. And those who can complete both conditions, in addition to being strong, also need to have the same strong luck.
When they heard about the special mission and the level of military merit awarded, the faces of the participants were filled with joy. Soon figured out the difficulties again, and the smile on his face quickly turned into a bitter smile. In the end, they decided to complete some routine tasks first and accumulate some military merits before making plans. As for special quests, they're valid for a long time anyway, and if you're lucky, you'll be able to complete them at that time.
However, many people are not hopeful, after all, the chances of completing the task are too slim. Instead of chasing a slim opportunity, it is better to firmly grasp the military merits that can be obtained in front of you. In terms of mission selection, most of the participants chose the exploration mission, although this is also a matter of luck. But because of this, there is a chance to get a lot of military merits.
As for those designated tasks, what are the removal of dangerous creatures, the recapture of mining areas occupied by the natives of the planet, etc. First, the military merits are limited, and second, the content of the mission is boring, and almost no one cares about it.
This was also expected by Ned, but when he saw that many strongmen had filled in their quest columns with exploration tasks and selected an area to explore, he still smiled bitterly. Due to the limited scale of the Kaiyan base, the deployed troops are only enough to protect themselves. In the base-controlled area, due to the appearance of the Jotun alien race, the base forces did not dare to disperse casually. As a result, some planetary natives seized the opportunity to occupy the mining area that was originally under the control of the base, causing the collection index of the base to show a downward trend.
Originally, I planned to take the opportunity of this mission release, hoping that these strong men who participated in the war could solve some difficulties for the base. But now it seems that this hope has been lost. After all, the rewards for these designated tasks are indeed limited, and it is difficult to satisfy the appetite of the participants. Ned is already planning to reformulate the mission, for example, next time the exploration area can be slightly closer to those occupied areas, so that the participants can easily solve these problems in the base while exploring.
Suddenly, he heard the lieutenant glaring at him, and Ned drove away, aiming for the words Occupy Sweep in the latest taskbar. He walked over in surprise, and on the assignment owner's column, he saw the name "Allen".
"This little young master actually chose the designated task?" This time, even Ned was surprised.
"Sweep the occupied area?"
In front of a carport at the base, Alan was inspecting the two all-terrain tactical speeders that had been handed to him, writing his name on the sign-off column. Regis next to him complained, "That's boring, and there are so few military achievements." With our strength, exploration missions are more suitable, aren't they? ”
Reaching out and tapping on Regess's head, "It's not going to be boring, think about it." After arriving at the destination, the natives of the entire occupied area will be handed over to Young Master Regis to deal with, I think it will be enough for you to keep busy for a while, right? ”
Regers shook off Allen's hand and said angrily, "This is not a good idea to take advantage of me and treat me as a free laborer!" ”
Lucy smiled and handed a set of field supplies to Allen, who threw it into the tactical speeder and said, "You said it was boring, I don't meet your needs." Young Master Regess, you're really hard to serve. ”
Seeing that Regers was about to cut people with a knife, Alan stopped teasing him, and said, "Okay, I also know that the designated task has few military merits." But a lot of people think like this, you see that the exploration area was scraped clean by them in a few clicks. But this kind of mission is purely a matter of chance, with a seven-day cycle of Earth time. If they hadn't even encountered an alien army during this time, and had only painted the earth and discovered some snow crystal associated mines, then the military feats would be equivalent to a designated mission at best. ”
"But one week is enough time for us to complete at least two assigned tasks. If Master Regers moves fast enough, he might be able to complete three or four. In this way, there are a lot of military achievements. If we were lucky, for example, if we were to complete a mission and an alien army broke in and we were able to take care of it, wouldn't we have gained more military merit than we had from exploring the mission? Alan smiled and said, "More importantly, we must rely on the base as a supply site and a rest area on the frost. Then if we can not only get military merits, but also solve some troubles for them casually, and win the favor of Lieutenant Colonel Ned, I don't think we will lose. ”
"Listening to you say that, it seems to have some truth." Regers tilted his head and said, "But you have to count when you speak." ”
"What?"
"I'll leave it to me to deal with the natives of the occupied area."
"Young Master Regis is willing to serve, we can't ask for it." Alan squeezed his eyebrows at the other two.
At this time, Reina came over, jumped into a flying car domineeringly, and said, "I want one for myself." ”
"Why?"
"I won't accompany you to sweep the occupied area or anything, I received an exploration mission alone, and we'll see you in a week." After saying that, not giving Alan a chance to object, Reiner had already closed the door of the speeding car. A few puffs of hot smoke erupted from the engine at the bottom of the tactical speed, and the car lifted off the ground and slowly drove out of the carport.
"Bastard Reina, are you going to squeeze the four of us into one?" Regers screamed, but of course, Reyna ignored him.
Alan shook his head and said, "We're just going to have to squeeze it." ”
By the time they got on the bus, there were already flying cars. One of them deliberately stopped next to Allen, the door was raised, and a young man inside smiled contemptuously: "It's really surprising, the young master of the Beth Kode family actually chose a designated task, shouldn't he dare to explore the unknown area?" ”
"Don't talk about Cage, the eldest young master usually has guards to protect him when he goes in and out, but now he doesn't." A gorgeous woman next to her covered her mouth and smiled.
Alan remembered that the man, Cage, was the one who had cast a hostile look at him earlier in the restaurant. He sneered, turned around and asked, "Which family are you from?" ”
The man named Cage stiffened his smile and rolled his eyes, wondering whether to report his family or not. After all, Beth Kod is a behemoth, and if Alan is allowed to know about his family, it is difficult to say whether he will incur retaliation afterwards. When he hesitated, Alan ignored him, went straight into the flying car, and only dropped one sentence: "Even the family dare not report the waste, and dare to provoke me?" I really don't know where you got your confidence. ”
After saying that, he closed the car door, so angry that Cage's seven holes smoked, but Alan had already set up the speeding car and drove away.
The Holly Forest is vast and the forest belt is elongated and narrow. The east-west direction is about 1,300 kilometers long, and the width is about two or three hundred kilometers. This primeval forest covers a hilly terrain with low terrain to the east and high to the west. In addition to forests, there are rivers, valleys, caves, mountain peaks, and other geographical formations that do not freeze for many years, and it is a very complex area.
In this area, the control area of the Kaiyan base is only more than 300 kilometers east of the forest. Beyond this range, it is the area outside the base control, although under the cross-influence of the other base outside the Holly Forest and the Kaiyan base, the Winter Forest can barely be said to be within the control range of the Federation. But deep west of the forest, it's a virgin territory that has not been explored by the two bases.
There are as many as seven or eight snow crystal associated mines found in the Holly Forest, of which three are the most prolific. Two are currently under the control of the Kaiyan base, and the other is on the edge of the control area, which is currently occupied by a headhunter tribe. As the high-level intelligent life of the Frost Star, there are hundreds of headhunter tribes, large and small. These tribes also fought against each other and did not form a united collective. This has given the Federation and Adahuaxing a lot of opportunities to divide Huairou, but the tribe that currently occupies the Snow Crystal Mining Area is obviously not a friend of the Federation.
The speeding car drove through the forest, and after switching to intelligent driving mode, Allen's hands were free. In his tactical brain, there is information about the Occupy Zone, a tribe of headhunters. The information provided by the Kaiyan base is very limited, and since the tribe's totem is symbolized by a clenched fist, the Kaiyan base refers to them as the Iron Fist Tribe.
The number of the Iron Fist tribe is not large, and all of them together are less than a hundred. Among them, there are about thirty adult warriors, with an average level of twelve to thirteen. The chieftain of the tribe is the most powerful headhunter, and the strength of level seventeen plus the natural geographical advantage of the Holly Forest. Unless Lieutenant Colonel Ned is willing to fight in person, the lives of officers below the rank of Colonel will be extremely dangerous if they encounter the Iron Fist Chief in the forest.
Moreover, the straight-line distance between this mining area and the Kaiyan base is about 270 kilometers, and at the speed of a speeding car, it is a half-day trip. At such a moment when the Jotun alien appeared, Ned would not leave the base lightly, let alone this kind of mining area that takes a whole day to go back and forth. If something happened while leaving the base, it was a responsibility that he, the little lieutenant colonel, could not bear.
