After breakfast, Buck came to the town and called the mayor Barris.
"Lord, what are your orders?" Barris rushed over immediately.
"The church in the village is too small. Find someone to expand it. Also, the guide called me yesterday. I will wait for him at the entrance of the village." After Buck finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Barris immediately went to find Horn, but when he returned to the Lord's Mansion, he learned that Horn had left the territory and took away half of the guards. Hearing the news, his eyes slowly narrowed. .
Soon, Keely rushed over.
"Besides the lumberyard, are there any stone ore mines, iron mines, or any strange buildings around here?" Buck looked at Keely in front of him and asked.
"Sir, it is said that an iron mine was discovered in the swamp before. There were many lizardmen in it, but it was not mined. The other strange buildings...are really gone." Keely heard Buck's question and thought about it carefully.
"Are there any abandoned sheds, damaged and abandoned trucks, abandoned campsites, etc.?" Buck then asked. These are all places in the game where one-time resources can be obtained, and they are worth exploring.
"Let me think about these things..." Although he didn't know what Buck was going to do, Keely thought about what Barris had just ordered. After pretending to think about it, he suddenly said: "I don't know anything else. As for the camp, there is one place There will be caravans staying in the camp.”
"Lead the way!" Buck laughed when he heard there was a camp, and immediately followed Keely towards the camp with Elise who looked like a little boy and six guards.
Yorktown is in the southeast of Buck's territory, and further to the northwest is a large swamp forest. There is a depression on the edge of the forest, which is a natural camping site. Many caravans choose to stay there. This is the camp that Keely is talking about.
The camp was about two hours away from the town. During this period, Buck also searched for some other suspicious places, but found nothing useful.
Soon, everyone arrived at the camp, which was a leeward depression. The camp was empty at this time, and the extinguished bonfire was covered with dust. Apparently no one had lit a bonfire here for a long time.
Buck walked over and quickly got the tip.
[You checked the abandoned camp and found some treasures. 】
[You obtained gold coins*440 and ores*6. 】
Yes, it costs 1,000 gold coins to upgrade [Farmer Shack] to [Militia Hut]. Adding these 440 gold coins is enough, and you can also train several militiamen.
Buck, who had gained something, was about to leave when suddenly Kaitarn protected Buck behind him, and the other five guards also drew their weapons and looked around.
Soon, masked and armed people appeared around them, surrounding them in the camp.
[A group of thieves attacked you! 】
"Kill!" Without any nonsense, the leading thief rushed over with his men, obviously not wanting to communicate with Buck and the others.
The leader of the thieves held a machete and slashed at Keitan.
Keitan held the sword in both hands, raised it upwards with force, and knocked the scimitar from the thief's hand directly. In the thief's incredulous eyes, he quickly slashed down, and directly chopped off the thief's head.
After killing one person, Keitan showed a bloodthirsty smile, raised his sword and launched a countercharge towards the overcoming units.
There was no one-hit enemy wherever he passed, and they were all chopped down to the ground by his swift and powerful two-hit attack.
The upgraded unit [Crusader] from the third-level unit [Swordsman] has mastered the combat skills of two consecutive attacks. It is a terrifying unit dedicated to fighting.
Another promotion route for [Swordsman] is [Sentinel]. A [Sentinel] holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other is the best choice to protect important people.
A group of thieves whose highest level was no more than second level were directly killed by Kaitarn. In just a few minutes, only five or six of the twenty thieves were killed.
The group of people exclaimed and dropped their weapons, turned around and ran towards the woods behind them, only hating their parents for not giving them more legs.
【A brilliant battle! You gain a small amount of experience. 】
Not only did the thieves fail to react, but even Buck didn't react. The battle was over.
Because he didn't kill the enemy, and Kaitarn was not his soldier, he gained a little victory experience.
However, when Buck saw several thieves escaping, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately issued an order to capture them alive.
"Follow me! Live!" Buck said, and ordered a guard to carry Elise on his back and rush forward.
This group of thieves must have their own den, and it is very likely that they will be recognized by the system as a wild den of thieves. This is a unit that is born with reconnaissance skills, and every one of them is a qualified scout.
The escaping thief got into the forest, but he could not get rid of Keitan who was slowly approaching. Buck, who was following behind, had already seen two corpses.
At this moment, the front suddenly fell into dead silence, and neither the thieves nor Kaitarn made any sound.
This sudden change caused Buck and the others to stop and slowly move forward. After turning a corner, Buck knew why there was no movement.
A metal creature more than five meters tall, with the body of a lion and the head of a woman with a delicate appearance stood in front of them.
Sphinx!
A special NPC in the previous game was said to be a structure made by the Demonic Empire in ancient times. It would ask questions to the people it met. If you answered correctly, you could get various rewards, including products from the Demonic Empire in ancient times.
The reward for this thing can be said to be very generous, because everything in the Demonic Empire in ancient times was valuable.
The questions asked were really tricky and weird, and the content ranged from all kinds of trivia to brain teasers, making the players greet the immediate family members of the planner.
As for failure, you will be pulled into the mirror space and face your own mirror troops.
Facing the micro-management of AI, even if they have the same troops, players will basically lose more and win less. Even if a few win, the troops will suffer heavy casualties.
Let players love and hate it.
There are also rumors of the Sphinx in Buck's original memory. So-and-so answered the questions correctly, obtained powerful magic equipment, answered the questions correctly, obtained a large number of gold coins, etc.
However, these are just conversation topics at the wine table, and have always been regarded by the original person as stories made up by people.
I didn't expect to meet her here, but it's not surprising. The Sphinx can teleport. In addition to towns, you can encounter her in any wild place.
The Sphinx's big head twisted around and glanced at Buck and the others who were following him. When his eyes swept over, Buck clearly felt that he would die if he made the slightest move.
"Start the questioning!" A mechanical voice came from Sphinx's mouth, and her eyes were directly locked on Kaitarn.
Seeing the other party's eyes looking at him, Keitan broke into cold sweat. He obviously knew the legend of the Sphinx.
"Question: Master Vendix needs to conduct a transformation experiment on you. Every 30ml of the transformation fluid used in the experiment can double your pain. At this time, your whole body is soaked in the transformation fluid. Your body's absorption rate is 0.002ml/( cm²_s), according to measurement, your body surface area is about 1.8m², how long will it take for you to be completely unable to feel pain?"
"The countdown begins."
"300."
"299."
"298."
