Dragon's Heart Tavern, a place filled with smoke and miasma.
"Swish!"
The moment I stepped into the tavern, an axe came spiralling down from the sky and hurriedly dodged to the side. "Peng!" The wooden signboard hung above the tavern was smashed into pieces. A few mercenaries were fighting, but I didn't see Captain Teddy today.
I went straight to the second floor. Under the guidance of a tavern maid, I found Sura's room, which was at the very edge of the tavern. Just as I passed by the door of a room at the side, I heard intermittent "Mmm mmm mmm." There were also a few low growls from men.
"Creak ~"
The door opened and Sura's elegant appearance appeared in front of me. He was still dressed in his spiritual robe, and his magic staff was still hanging on the wall of his room. His long hair flowed like a waterfall, and his pair of beautiful eyes looked deeply into my eyes as he said, "Young Knight, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Sorry, something delayed me yesterday."
"No problem, come in."
"Alright."
When I followed her into the room, I realized that Sura's name had changed. His name had already changed to "Vice Leader of the Bronze Cavalry Regiment, Sura." He had unexpectedly been promoted within a day.
… ….
We sat across from each other at a wooden table with an exquisite miniature sand table covered with small red and blue flags. Su Hailin looked at me with watery eyes and said, "You... "What's your name?"
"Ding Mu Chen."
"Oh …"
She pursed her red lips and said: "Ding Mu Chen, recently, countless Bravehearts from other worlds have come to the Colossal Deer City, but you are one of the top knights amongst them. Perhaps you may be the hope of the Bronze Knight Regiment in the future. Are you really willing to serve this cavalry that is filled with mercenaries, hooligans, minstrels, scum, beggars, and thieves?"
I was at a loss for words. "Our cavalry is so complicated?"
She smiled and said, "Yes, although the princess has assembled a chaotic army of eight thousand soldiers, they are still just scattered and scattered. The number of soldiers that can be used in battle is not more than five hundred."
"Where's the Guild Leader?" I asked.
Sura pointed to the next room. "Did you hear those sounds?"
My old face reddened. "I heard it."
Sura's face reddened slightly as he gnashed his teeth and said, "This Company Leader can no longer be counted on. He was previously the leader of the largest bandit group, and because he handed over the military power, he was highly valued. But right now, it turns out that he doesn't have the qualifications to be the Bronze Knight Regiment's Guild Leader.
"What kind of help?" I asked.
"Regroup the cavalry, and let them have the best fighting strength." Her gaze was like water, then she looked at the person next to her with difficulty, and said: "Then help me seize power. I want to be the Guild Leader, he … "Not worthy!"
"Seizure authority?"
I was startled and felt excitement surge in my heart. "You trust me so much, so I will naturally trust you. If you want to seize power, then do so."
"En!"
Sura nodded heavily and said, "But now isn't the time. The first step is that we must work together to raise the cavalry's fighting strength. This is also what we need to do today."
"Tell me, what should I do?"
Sura's gaze darkened as he said, "We must quickly head to Thunderclap Mountain. The first combat battalion of the Bronze Knights had been ordered to go there half a month ago to exterminate a group of thieves, but they have never been heard of. I heard from the bard that they were trapped there and the situation is already precarious.
"Beep!"
System Notification: Do you wish to accept the Legion's quest [Thunderclap Mountain Beginner] (A)?
… ….
Natural Selection confirmed. In the next moment, Sura's beautiful eyes lit up. Smiling, she said, "With your help, this expedition will definitely go smoothly. Let's set off!"
"Alright."
It just so happens that I need experience points to level up and experience points to gain prestige. Killing two birds with one stone seems to have opened up a window for me in the Legion System. I definitely cannot miss such a good opportunity.
As soon as he left the Dragon Heart Tavern, Sura whistled towards the distance. Immediately, the rumbling of hoof steps could be heard, and a group of Level 50 Elite NPCs appeared in his line of sight. Some held battle spears, some waved battle axes, and some spirit masters covered in dense flames and frost elemental spirits.
"Rumble …"
Sura elegantly mounted his horse. His spirit robe had its underpants slit and a pair of slender snow-white legs stretched across his warhorse. Extremely moving, she stuck her staff into a bag on the horse's back and smiled at me. "Young Knight, we are setting off!"
"Let's go, Thunder Mountain!"
The group of elites from the scouts camp raised their weapons one after another, their fighting spirits soaring, the sound of horses galloping, and everyone rushed out of the city. I also summoned my Ghost Battle Horse, and easily caught up to the group as soon as I increased my speed, to the point that it was even more than enough. We were right at the front of the formation, attracting the attention of a group of players on the plaza.
After galloping for nearly half an hour, they had already arrived at a foreign domain. The northern border of the Colossal Deer City, from afar, looked like a mountain range that pierced the clouds, and on top of the mountain peak, there was a dangerous mountain that pierced through the clouds, the surrounding dark clouds were rolling, and there were endless chains of lightning falling into the mountain. This kind of aura caused everyone to be stunned, and even a group of NPCs were stunned.
Sura's delicate eyebrows creased slightly. He stopped his warhorse and said, "Thunderclap Mountain, we've arrived …"
Another knight holding a sword said: "Vice Captain, the 1st Battalion is in the valley. We can't delay any longer. Let's move forward quickly, I'm afraid they won't be able to last much longer."
"En!"
Sura took the lead and charged into the forest. Lightly raising his staff, he surrounded himself in flames. "Boom!" A layer of rotten leaves on the ground were burnt to ashes. Turns out … Not only was she the Wandering Immortal Doctor, but she was also a Spirit Master. To think that an NPC could have multiple roles at once. She was truly different from a player.
It was no wonder. If Sura was only a wandering immortal doctor, he probably wouldn't be able to convince the masses that he was a vice-captain.
"Kill!"
A level 54 golden monster was a piece of cake, but there were so many of them that they couldn't take it all in a short period of time. Sura immediately ordered for them to defend and attack where they stood, and a group of Knights put their shields in front of them. With their spears striking out, they pierced through the gaps between the shields, causing the ghost soldiers to be smashed into pieces.
I also took out my long sword and became a member of the defense line. I also wanted to see the power of the golden fire blade, so with a wave of my hand, the pet space lit up and the golden fire blade pierced through the air, causing flames to erupt out of the surroundings like a demon summoning from purgatory. Under my command, the fire spirit danced around as it transformed into a 20 × 20 range fire rain, falling onto the dense group of ghost soldiers.
"1914!"
"1939!"
"1950!"
… ….
To be able to deal such a strong damage with a Level 31 Mystic Beast, that was simply too terrifying. The Golden Fire Blade's spirit technique attack of 1240 points was truly tyrannical, making people feel gratified!
In front of my chest, a long frosty sword aura appeared, piercing through the group of ghost soldiers, causing a series of high damage. The moment my zhenqi recovered, I immediately launched a five-hit combo to break through the barrier, sending out strands of whirlwind of war. The moment there were four ghost soldiers attacking me, I activated the Knight's Pride Skill — Battle qi defense technique!
"Clang ~ ~"
With a loud bang, the true energy in my body turns into battle qi, and as the inscription patterns bloom, it is as if a golden shield has been placed on the surface of my body. A violent feeling spreads throughout my entire body, my defensive power and my magic resistance have increased by more than twofold, to the point where a bunch of ghost guards were able to hit me with their sharp claws, but the damage I received was less than 100 points, which is negligible.
Following the baptism of the War Whirlwind, the large group of ghost soldiers in front of me turned into a pile of corpses in the blink of an eye.
Behind me, Sura, under my protection, showed a gratified expression on her pretty face. Raising her magic staff, she threw balls of huge fireballs into the midst of the monsters, and under our crazy bombardment, over three hundred ghost soldiers were killed in about five minutes. Under Sura's healing, the NPCs didn't have any casualties.
A middle-aged knight held a battle sword in his hand as he respectfully said, "Vice Commander Sura, it is these evil Purgatory Ghost Guards who have blocked the retreat path of the first Battalion. We can now enter the valley, but we still have to be very careful, just these Ghost Guards are not enough to trap the brothers of the first Battalion.
Sura nodded. "Yes, slowly advance. Don't advance recklessly."
"Yes sir!"
… ….
As the team continued forward, the signs of corrosion in the forest became more and more obvious, until there were almost no living plants left. Giant trees that reached the sky became bald, and the leaves were eroded into the air.
"Here... Don't tell me that he was controlled by a Spirit Channeling Mage? " Sura was somewhat worried.
"If there really is a Psychic Mage, I'm afraid that the 1st Battalion is already finished." An old knight said.
Indeed, I have seen the strength of a Psychic Mage before. He was able to instantly cripple the captain of the Dragon Sid Cavalry. That kind of strength was far beyond Sura's, and was simply not even on par with him.
Fortunately, a dense group of undead creatures appeared in front of them. They were Undead Swordsmen with bone swords in their hands and unfocused eyes, so they weren't as terrifying as the Shamans.
