Fenghua Town is the only important town located on the Fenghua Plain. This fact has now become extremely clear to everyone. The countless wars that have come here and burned nearby also reflect this fact. It has become increasingly obvious that the battle line surrounded by various villages and towns around Fenghua Town has also changed control back and forth many times due to the competition for this mountain city, and whether it is the players of the principality or the leg hair of the restorers. They also know very well what their intention is to compete for these surrounding villages and towns.
This mountain city standing in the middle of the plain has become the focal point of the entire Fenghua Plain.
"It's not Minas Tirith. It's surrounded and beaten every day. It's understandable that they don't put too much energy into that place..."
Walking on the way to the foot of the mountain, Duan Qing's expression turned into a sad expression: "But if you want to level this place... is it too much?"
"They also seem to think that place is a worthless existence." Xueling Huanbing, who was wearing a black cloak, replied in a low voice: "Secret news said that they planned to give up the defense force in that place, so in order not to This threat is handed back to the Principality... They intend to blow up the entire town."
"And then you can trick the incoming coalition forces?" Duan Qing shook his head and said with a smile: "Such an insidious trick... Could it be that some unscrupulous player came up with it?"
"...I don't know." The woman shook her head with a lonely look: "The person who secretly informed me didn't tell me the specific content of the plan, or maybe she was not the core figure of the plan, so she didn't know the details at all... "
"That is to say...this plan is already being implemented?"
Trying hard to recall every scene he had seen when he and Xiao Nina sneaked into Fenghua Town, Duan Qing asked in a low voice: "Where did they hide the bomb...or some strange magic device?" Already?"
“...Do you really want to find out from me?” What do you get in your mouth?”
"You, the main person in charge of Wings of Freedom, are really miserable." So Duan Qing sighed helplessly: "You can hide it so closely from even one of your own... They have done enough confidentiality work. OK."
"... Don't you have the slightest doubt about what I just said?" After maintaining an unspeakable silence for a while, Xue Ling Huan Bing asked in a low voice: "Judging from the existing signs, what I just said is In fact, there is nothing believable..."
"There's no use thinking about it now."
Giving the other party a thoughtful look, Duan Qing withdrew his gaze: "Even if you inform other people about this now, they probably won't believe it. Even if they believe your rhetoric, they won't be dissatisfied because of it." Stop the pace of taking back Fenghua Town. It is the hometown of countless townspeople, with beautiful scenery and countless kind and honest people. Even adventurers like us who were born here, there are countless people who stayed in this place later..."
"They won't give up that place, and we won't give up either." Duan Qing said in a low voice: "In that case...then what's the point of whether this question is true or false?"
"..."
"Don't worry, it's not that time yet."
Glancing at the other party's silent face with his peripheral vision, Duan Qing gradually brought a smile to his voice: "It is very stupid to be attacked from both sides on that plain, so attacking Fenghua Town requires countless people from surrounding areas. Support, they will not advance easily without the control of these villages and towns.”
"...You mean you still have to wait for the combined armies of the two countries to come together?" Xueling Huanbing asked in a low voice: "The aftermath of Zaraha City has not ended yet, and they cannot come here in a short time. …”
"Mengzhu has already met Pamir at Kalon Pass."
In the still unstoppable wind and snow, Duan Qing replied with a smile: "Now that even the members of the Mages Council are involved, the progress of this war should be accelerated. If we include the reaction of the Restorationists after they learned of their arrival. , the competition among villages and towns will become more and more fierce..."
"The variables will start from this time." He looked at the outline of the village gradually appearing at the foot of the mountain in the distance, and then started running towards that side: "How fast will the specific speed be..."
"It depends on our efforts."
Time gradually passed as the figures of the two people passed by one after another. Finally, Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing came to the west near the other side of the Fenghua Plain. The village named Dadel also followed their arrival. , resurrected in the early morning sunshine, as if it had just experienced a battle. The scratches of the sword and the scorch blackened by the magic explosion were spread across every corner of the village, even those who were very few were still here. The villagers also showed great distrust towards the two adventurers who had just arrived.
Until a smartly dressed magician appeared in front of them.
"You are the two adventurers that Lady Freya mentioned, right?"
Tres Faol is a male who looks to be about thirty or forty years old. The vicissitudes of time have not left too deep marks on his face, but on the contrary, he has left a sense of reliability on his face. a feeling of. He seemed to be on a mission. He was wearing a simple robe and his speech and movements seemed much simpler. Even the courtesy to Duan Qing was only briefly passed: "I have received the news. Thank you both for your support. Come to help despite your busy schedule, if there are no other problems...then let's get started."
"Start...what?" Duan Qing asked doubtfully.
"Of course we have to start assisting these civilians."
Pointing to the villagers who were gathered around and looking at the three of them eagerly, Tres replied calmly: "Even if we are short of manpower, we have to try our best to win their trust, otherwise... just relying on force and war, You can’t really control this village.”
"What you said seems to make sense." Duan Qing looked at Xueling Huanbing and replied with a smile: "Then... where should we start?"
"Let's start with the most common task first." After glancing sideways at the surrounding environment, Tris turned and pointed at a house with a lingering fire: "Well... let's start by putting out the fire."
Without any awareness of any trouble, the plain-faced magician just pulled Duan Qing and the two of them to start the ordinary mission, and then just like when they first arrived in Fengye Forest, they completed the trivial missions one by one. Started business. The capable magician who gave them the order disappeared soon after. It was said that he went to contact other nearby villages. Only then did Duan Qing realize that the tragic situation that the village in front of him had become was largely due to that. The credit of a famous magician: "In other words...the so-called contact means just calling one by one?"
"...Except for the border area near the north, this place is almost entirely ruled by the Restorationists."
Throwing aside the pile of broken wood and garbage in his hand, Xue Ling Huan Bing slowly stood up: "At least until the Mages Council appears here, they are still nominally ruled by the Restoration."
"This is actually part of the border, it's just closer to Anderson." Duan Qing also straightened up his bent waist: "There are mountains nearby, so it's of little value... Their deployment here, It must not be as close as from the Andachel Mountains, right?"
"If this were not the case, a magician would not be able to achieve such an effect." Xue Ling Huan Bing replied in a low voice: "I just hope they don't proceed too fast, otherwise..."
"In every sense, the final result may not be acceptable."
Duan Qing probably understood what Xue Ling Huan Bing was referring to. Not only would it not be beneficial to the coming darkness, but it would also greatly delay someone's time to practice. But for a player with only two players, For them, solving all the tasks in an entire village is really a large-scale project that cannot be completed in a short period of time, not to mention that this remote village that has just experienced the war is more in dire need than those next to Xingfeng Spring. The townspeople were even more serious. Relying on his rich experience in clearing tasks, Duan Qing quickly got into the rhythm of taking over tasks. Tasks that originally required the joint efforts of several people and tasks close to the task location were all undertaken by him. The efficient task clearing speed quickly brought rapid changes to Del Village, and it also opened the eyes of Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was not very good at this aspect. But for this woman who is only thinking about how to make progress, these things They are far less important than the few words he said during this process: "This is the method of using the sword. The flow of breath is the purpose of this move..."
"The function of the Qi Sword is not only the explosion of Qi, but also the traction of Qi. If you have played the game Sword God...haven't you played it? Well, in short, it has reached the level of fighting between gods. Swordsmanship alone is no longer the key to victory or defeat..."
"No, no! You still have the strange idea of wanting to change yourself... Do you still remember the battle in the Emerald Forest? You were in very good shape at that time, quite lawful and forward-looking, rather than cunning and dexterous... "
"Forcibly guiding the energy erupted from the ice waterfall may be a good idea, but using the ice trajectory of the Frost Sword to control the flow of these sword energies is also a very good method, and if you are familiar with this method of casting , you may have a deeper understanding of Qi Ji... Well, even the small animals have been killed so cleanly by you. There should be no monsters worth fighting here. You can practice casually for now, and I will go back and kill these. Stack up the mission items and hand them over first..."
Carrying a lot of inexplicable objects, Duan Qing waved to the woman who was still swinging her sword in the woods, and then took heavy steps and slowly returned to Dadel Village. Several people gradually changed. The lively villagers also rushed out of their houses again with Duan Qing's return, and the warm reception gathered around him again. Duan Qing, who had long been accustomed to this, also responded to their thanks, and then began to pretend He came up with the free world version of Santa Claus: "The eight snow fox furs are all top quality without cuts, as well as fire iron ore and high-grade wood from the Windsong Forest. We have eliminated the threat of the snow monster in the east. By the way, I got back five complete thigh bones that the old Tingsi family wanted... By the way, what on earth does he want these things for? Is it used as a weapon? "
"Our older generation also made things like bone guns, but compared to those evil magicians...such weapons are obviously ineffective."
The person who answered him was not the old Tingsi mentioned by Duan Qing, but the old village chief with a gray beard and hair: "Thank you for helping adventurers. Your busyness during this period has been a great help to us..."
"No need to thank you, anyway, the final account will be recorded on the head of the Mage Council." Duan Qing patted the falling snow on his body: "That guy named Tres... has he come back during this time? "
"Lord Fa'ao didn't show up again. He seemed to be busy with other important things." The face of the old village chief named Deli was immediately filled with sadness: "If a new enemy appears during this period, then we..."
"Don't worry, you just need to surrender."
After taking out the last few mission items from the package, Duan Qing interrupted the other party without any sense of honor: "As long as they don't make any resistance, the restorers generally won't kill them quickly. All they want is obedience. It’s not a dead village without anyone... Why are you looking at me like this? This is the best way to save your lives. If you want to survive in such a dangerous era of war, how can you not be a coward... "
"Then..." the old village chief asked awkwardly, "then will you help us protect this village?"
"If there is time, I will." Duan Qing replied nonchalantly: "The premise is that Tris does not give us any additional faction tasks, and then lets us go to the next village to do odd jobs..."
"Master Fa'ao left me a letter before he left. It seems to be specially given to you two." As if he remembered something important, the old village chief said excitedly: "Would you like to read it now? look?"
"Letter?" Duan Qing raised his eyebrows: "What letter?"
"Master Fa'ao once said that if there is any big problem in the village that needs help... just let us find you two."
Taking out the letter from his arms tremblingly, the village chief handed it into Duan Qing's hands, then hesitated for a while and handed out a skinny finger to Hulan Mountain next to him: "Actually, We do have a big event recently..."
"I wonder if I can leave it to you two?"
