Chapter 268 Side Quest: Ebon's Oath (2 in 1)

Boom!

Threads of fire that gathered together erupted in the body of a humanoid monster with a green face and fangs, and the opponent's body collapsed. In front of the monster, Li Shuyi slowly put away her double swords, and Bai Xiaowen also put away the Desert Eagle.

The spirit world rules prompt message came:

"You wiped out the Orc Scout Squad of the Coalition of Sins."

"Your prestige in the Terran Coalition Army has increased, currently: Respect."

"Your prestige in the Alliance of Sins has decreased, currently: hatred."

"Your team has obtained 140 Merit Points this time, and the total accumulated Merit Points is 970 points."

Li Shuyi's face was covered with dust, and she looked very tired: "In this period of time, we have traveled to more than a dozen territories in northern Xinjiang. Is this the last territory?"

Bai Xiaowen nodded: "From the map, this belongs to Laya Town, and it is also our last stop. There are still a little more than 16 hours before the main quest [War of Heiyan] starts. We will go back to Hongye City now and bring our Troops, take part in the battle of the Black Rock Line."

After the order in Hongye City was maintained, Bai Xiaowen took Li Shuyi and wandered between the large and small territories in northern Xinjiang.

In the non-combat state, Bai Xiaowen put away the summoned creatures of the black soul stone, and only summoned the angry claws for the two to ride. If it wasn't for the fast running speed of Anger Claw, the two of them would definitely not have been able to run across the entire northern border in this short ** day's time.

During this period, Bai Xiaowen and the two encountered several infiltration teams of the Allied Forces of the Crime Domain, which were cleared on the spot. They have a certain understanding of the elite members of the various races of the Coalition Army.

The orcs are divided into two groups: pure-blooded orcs and half-blooded half-orcs. Pure-blooded orcs are taller and stronger, with more brutal temperaments, and their personal strength is not weaker than that of the elite headhunters of the troll race.

Half-orcs are the product of the mating of orcs and humans. They are inferior in strength, but generally more agile.

In addition, there are the dark rangers of the dark elves, the scimitar warriors, and the like, all taking the agile route.

On the whole, the remnants of the Alliance of Sins, whether they are ordinary templates or elite templates, are stronger than humans of the same level. Of course, the boss template is not comparable.

Bai Xiaowen secretly complained, is it really that the worse the environment is, the easier it is for fighting nations to appear? He thought of another time and space, a magical nation who could treat the brown bear as a Teddy beating, it seemed that they lived in the ice and snow for many years.

In any case, the defensive battle of Black Rock Fortress was rather grim.

After returning to Hongye City, Bai Xiaowen immediately dressed up, led the guards, and escorted a batch of supplies to Heiyan City further north.

Now Bai Xiaowen's guard has swelled to more than 500 people. With money and food, he can naturally continue to expand his troops. The original ratio of robbers has been diluted to less than half, and it is not appropriate to call them the robber guards. Now they have a more prominent name, Baishijun.

Before the start of the second main quest, Bai Xiaowen led the Baishi Army to finally arrive at Heiyan City and met the prince himself.

After seeing it on the Summoning Runestone, 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 halo of the son of the plane and what is called the demeanor of a king.

Prince Nicholas was wearing a military uniform, and his words and deeds had initially had the aura of a generation of kings. It seemed that nothing could stun him. He always issued appropriate orders in an orderly manner to solve new situations.

A lord in front of Bai Xiaowen has been infected by Prince Nicholas' personality charm, he bowed his head and was completely convinced by Prince Nicholas' tyrannical spirit.

Fortunately, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi are awakened, immune to Prince Nicholas' son of plane halo.

"You are here at last. Before you, there were eleven orders to be issued, and twice as many to be received,

However, I still postpone all these itineraries and make a special trip to welcome you. "Prince Nicholas smiled sincerely.

Bai Xiaowen said in a panic: "It is my honor that Your Highness pays attention."

Prince Nicholas said with a smile: "You don't need to feel apprehensive. According to your achievements, I can't take it too seriously. The people of Hongye City can be freed from the claws of the undead plague. It's all up to you and your subordinates. The erudite scholar. By the way, is the erudite scholar here? I will also reward him."

Bai Xiaowen sighed: "His Royal Highness, I have tried my best, but the people of Hongye City still only survived about half of them, and the other half eventually became undead and were killed by my guards... I am very sorry. I'm ashamed that I couldn't save more people."

This fact cannot be concealed and tampered with. You must know that Prince Nicholas has two senior eyes and ears, Knight Job and Knight Ferdinand, who are always watching the changes in Red Leaf City. During the past few days of using the Plague Buster, two knights were helping to maintain order in the Red Leaf City, and the fact that at least half of the people died, how could it be hidden from the sky.

Moreover, Bai Xiaowen buys low and sells high, relying on the plague-busting industry to make money, this action cannot escape the eyes and ears of the two knights, and Prince Nicholas must know.

However, Prince Nicholas did not feel that there was anything wrong with doing so. He is a prince who has been educated by the royal elite since childhood, not a passionate young man who was brainwashed by knightly dogma. Of course, he knows the truth that when water is clear, there are no fish.

It is a fact that Bai Xiaowen has saved more than 10,000 people, and it is also an undeniable merit. Under this premise, Bai Xiaowen is only greedy for money, and he has not crossed the line and robbed him. Prince Nicholas will definitely turn a blind eye.

As for the reward for learned scholars, 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 plane of Kane, there is a saying: My vassal's vassal is not my vassal.

The explanation is that the lord Bai Xiaowen is the emperor's vassal. However, the troops and talents under Bai Xiaowen's command belong to Bai Xiaowen's personal "vassals", and the empire cannot directly order them.

This is also a feature of the ancient feudal system of the earth, such as the Eastern Zhou period in China and the Middle Ages in Europe.

Dr. Zombie has developed an antidote to the plague nemesis, which is definitely a rare talent. When Prince Nicholas offered the reward, he had to try to find out whether he could dig up this "scholar" and use it for himself.

Of course, Bai Xiaowen is confident, he is the master of Dr. Zombie, this is undeniable. The reason why he didn't want Dr. Zombie and Prince Nicholas to meet was just because he didn't want to arouse suspicion.

Just relying on Dr. Zombie's train-running style full of modern vocabulary, two sentences will reveal the truth. Prince Nicholas is not an ignorant girl like Bonita, who can be vague for a while. If he sees that Bai Xiaowen and Dr. Zombie do not belong to the world of Kane's plane, it will be bad after all.

Prince Nicholas said: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, it's me who should blame yourself. As a prince, I can't save my people, I can only issue a massacre order. If it weren't for your existence, the residents of Hongye City would not even be able to save my people. Not one will survive."

After a pause, Prince Nicholas said: "You have made a great contribution. Moreover, I have not forgotten your contribution to the investigation of the truth of the undead plague in Hongye City."

The spirit world rules prompt message sounded:

"The second step of the hero-level main quest [Fighting the Plague] satisfies some of the completion conditions. The task objective A has been completed, and the individual completion rate is 47%. The overall task completion rate is: 15.67% (unqualified)."

"Are you submitting tasks with the above degree of completion?"

[It seems that mission objective A is relatively simple, with only 1/3 of the weight in the overall completion degree, while the overall weight of mission objective B is 2/3! 】Bai Xiaowen didn't blink his eyes, even the proportions were calculated.

Bai Xiaowen chose to refuse. Facing Prince Nicholas' suspicious gaze, he said sincerely: "The cause of fighting against the plague of undead is not over yet. I have made up my mind to wipe out all the plague undead in the entire northern Xinjiang. Please allow His Royal Highness the prince."

The meaning of this statement is that Bai Xiaowen is not willing to submit the task, but to complete the task objective B together, and finally count the completion degree.

Prince Nicholas nodded in approval: "Your ambition is lofty and admirable."

The prompt message of the rules of the spiritual world sounded again:

"The 2nd step of the hero-level side quest [Fighting the Plague] is temporarily sealed. Now the reward for the 1st step of the hero-level side quest [The Truth of the Plague] will be awarded."

"Your team has obtained Merit Points for the Terran Coalition Army: 3000 points."

"You got a special item: Broken Oath."

"It has been detected that you currently own three special items: The Broken Oath, and the side quest [The Oath of Ebon Front] is open."

"Quest objective: Get a total of seven special items: Broken Oath, and combine them."

"Mission deadline: None."

"Mission Difficulty: Unknown."

"Quest Reward: Special Item: Oath of Ebon Blade."

[The Oath of Ebon Front: Team building item, 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, the total number of the team must not exceed (2) people. When team members fight side by side, there will be a certain bonus effect. Once the team is established, it is permanent unless the captain chooses to disband. 】

The 3,000 Merit Points are just so-so, but the reward of [Broken Oath] and the side quest [The Oath of the Black Front] that will continue to open have boosted Bai Xiaowen's spirits.

This is a permanent team building prop!

The permanent team building item can not only save the power 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 existing data, the bonus effect of some teams is very abnormal, which can greatly increase the strength of the players! Of course, there are also some unlucky captains who get a mediocre team bonus, which is also related to the quality of the team-building props.

However, even the "very average" team bonus effect is better than none at all.

There are seven ebon adjudicator knights like Ian. According to the normal way, all seven should be killed, and each of them will drop a "broken oath". swear".

However, Bai Xiaowen has now joined the prince's line. Everyone is a comrade-in-arms, so he can only take the route of quest rewards. Obtaining the remaining four "Broken Oaths" from Prince Nicholas has become a major goal of Bai Xiaowen.

Prince Nicholas further said: "According to the previous agreement, you are now the commander of the seventeenth infantry phalanx. The vanguard of the remnants of sin may arrive at any time, and there is no time for us to chat slowly. Go, Lord Dior, With your troops as the main force, integrate the 17th 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, His Royal Highness."

Prince Nicholas nodded in relief.

Bai Xiaowen turned around and left. With his super high mental strength, he could faintly feel that Prince Nicholas's eyes had a deep meaning, and he continued to stare at him for a long time.

The Black Rock Defense Line has three lines in total, each of which has three infantry phalanxes for joint defense. There are a total of nine infantry phalanxes, from the eleventh to the nineteenth. These nine phalanxes were formed by the integration of the private soldiers of the large and small lords of Northern Xinjiang.

As for the first to the tenth phalanx, it was the Plantagenet ** regiment led by Prince Nicholas, who was guarding the Black Rock Fortress.

To put it simply, the 11th to 19th phalanxes are cannon fodder—the fortress is already overcrowded, and these nine phalanxes cannot be stationed in the fortress, and can only be pulled out to consume the enemy's troops.

Bai Xiaowen's 17th infantry phalanx was assigned to the innermost third line of defense. This line of defense is undoubtedly the safest. Only when the first two lines collapse, will the third line of defense meet the enemy's onslaught.

This was a special arrangement by Prince Nicholas, and Bai Xiaowen was also appointed as the former commander of the third line of defense.

This is part of the hidden benefit of completing step 2 of the hero-level side quest, that is, the favorability of Prince Nicholas. 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 of the remnants can vaguely be seen, groups of short-statured orcs laboring, busy building camps, preparing a place to rest for the subsequent groups of troops.

"The third line of defense is not safe, but it seems that we should move forward, right?" Li Shuyi said, "Only by killing more enemies can you get more treasure chests and earn merit points."

Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "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. At that time, the morale of the remnant was high, and there was nothing to gain." 8) More exciting Novels, welcome to visit everyone's school
