[Breach the Fortress: Battle to occupy the Iron Nation’s military fortress]
[Difficulty: B+]
[Mission Completion: 55%]
[Reward: 65000 experience]
[Comment: As the head of the mercenary troops, making your subordinates die is perfect.]
Lautner’s gaze was burning. “I’ve sent it out.”
Alec’s objective in walking into the fortress was not to kill people. The important thing was that he had to guard the military warehouses. The equipment and resources inside were the most important.
The Camp wars of this era often involved destruction. If they did not transport the military resources out in time, it would definitely be burned. The enemies were willing to die, but they were not willing to leave any rations for the enemy.
William walked over the corpses at the entrance of the warehouse. He patted Alec’s shoulder. But when he looked at the resources inside, he could not help but sigh. “Have you taken stock?”
“There are not a lot of things, but there should not be so little either. There are only over 100 thousand arrows, 200 sets of spare parts for the catapults, 3000 sets of high quality armor and weapons, and so on. As for the heavy-duty crossbow and catapults, they are already on the city wall.”
“I guarded the military warehouse, but the rations warehouse has been burned down.” Alec scratched his head apologetically.
“Send people to put out the fire. Take out as much ration as possible.”
“Roger!”
As part of the vanguard troops, William had the right to share the winnings.
At that moment, Violent Dragon hurriedly rushed over. Ever since the guards at the military fortress retreated, the enemy troops that had been attacking the catapults also left. The army was officially moving into the military fortress.
“Tsk tsk. We were lucky that the warehouse was not burned down.”Violent Dragon happily looked at the resources in the warehouse. The happiness in his heart was hard to describe.
William looked inside the warehouse, lost in thought. Based on how long the war had lasted for, there should not be so little things in the warehouse. But he did not say anything. He simply glanced at Violent Dragon. “I will take half!”
“I know, I know. My commander has told me that your mercenary troops have contributed tremendously. It’s not a big deal to give you half of this.” Violent Dragon flashed a mocking gaze at him. Would he still be able to bring all of this away?
The prince touched the ring on his finger. For now, he did not want to reveal that he had a large space treasure.
In particular, he looked at the bright-eyed players outside. He knew that the players had made many sacrifices. Even though they had earned a lot of experience from occupying the military fortress, their equipment had lost their durability. They had stolen some equipment, but it was not of much use to them.
He turned and loudly said, “Today, I will take half of the resources. You can take your rewards according to your achievements!”
“Damn...” The corners of Violent Dragon’s lips twitched.
The players could not believe it. They looked at one another. Were the rewards so plentiful?
Before they had attacked the city, they had received a mission. It showed that they would receive plentiful rewards. But this was half of the resources in the military warehouse!
William narrowed his eyes. To him, these resources were nothing much. His ambition could not be contained within just one warehouse.
He wanted to control two human nations!
“Just half of the armor and arrows are not of much use to me.”William was not interested in the clumsy armor of the human nations. he preferred the streamlined armor from the City of Dawn.
Even if they brought these goods back, they would have to be refined. It would waste time and resources. So why not give it to the players instead?
William said that they would receive rewards according to their achievements, but he went down the ranking and gave out the resources.
Overall, this would ensure that the players would not be lacking in blue equipment. At least, their equipment would not be worse than that of the Iron Nation players’.
“I died six times. Not only did my level drop by one, but I also broke three sets of equipment. I thought that this time I had definitely taken heavy losses. I never expected the rewards to be so plentiful. It allowed me to level up by one level, and I even obtained two sets of blue equipment.” A player happily looked at his blue equipment. He was very excited. After all, it was quite an upgrade from his white equipment...
There were too many tycoons in the City of Dawn.
It could even be said.
If the City of Dawn could be split into three groups.
Then there were many more tycoon players in the City of Dawn than in the Black Lava Nation and the Iron Nation...
For example, the members of the Grand Deity team collected contribution points and gold coins everyday. Many players sold the gold that they had painstakingly obtained for real currency. As a result, their equipment was not very good.
But they did not expect to earn money from the winnings of the war.
Forever Alone carried many bags full of equipment with him. There were many people like him. They gathered together, afraid that they would be bashed by the people from the same camp.
This bunch of people had stolen equipment from the enemy players’ revival points. All of them were going to be very rich as they had obtained two or three more sets of armor.
Chu Liuqiu looked at Changli Jiuge.
Changli Jiuge nodded. He jogged to William. “Prince, we managed to steal equipment from the enemy. It is of good quality. Would you like them?”
“...” William thought about it for two seconds. This fellow had the guts to sell equipment to him?
But he thought about it and nodded. “You can exchange the equipment for contribution points of equal value.”
Changli Jiuge slightly hesitated. “That’s good too!”
Instantly, many players with extra equipment approached William and exchanged equipment for contribution points. Although they could not exchange the equipment for gold coins, for them, the players from the Dawn Camp, contribution points were also very valuable. Not only could they be used in place of gold coins, they could also be used to get promotions in their position.
Even more players gathered in front. They lacked equipment, so they exchanged their contribution points for equipment and left...
William did not buy the equipment for a low price, and sell them at a high price. He was just the middleman.
After all, he did not want to cheat the players of their contribution points.
The current situation was strange.
The Iron Nation’s slogan of freedom attracted many new players, and even veteran players to join their camp. William had to give sufficient benefits to the players so that they were loyal to the City of Dawn.
The field marshal of the Iron Nation, Kainor, laughed. “Are you saying that the Black Lava Nation has obtained one city?”
Wells was half-naked, revealing his well-build muscles. He touched the wound on his chest and narrowed his eyes. “That is correct. I had wanted to drag on for a few days and inflict some harm on the Black Lava Nation.
“But I was stopped by the city lord of the City of Dawn. Luckily, our plan to give the city away shouldn’t be exposed. I also placed plenty of equipment in the warehouse.”
“In particular, I allowed them to occupy the fortress. I even sent thousands of soldiers...”
“Currently, the Black Lava Nation has sent six legions to the fortress, in addition to 60 thousand mercenary soldiers from the City of Dawn!”
“Did you include Salz?”
“According to reports from the scouts, Salz was not inside. He returned to the camp at Rhine River.” Wells sighed. Salz was cunning and was full of malicious plans.
The military fortress that they had practically given away for free was no better than a military camp that had just been built.
Kainor thought about it. “No more waiting. Send the entire army to attack in three days!”
“The entire army?” Wells was dumbfounded!
“There are a total of 15 legions in Rhine City and the two military fortresses. This is enough. The soldiers stationed in other places will definitely be alerted by the enemy.”
“Since they have fallen into our plan, there is no need to continue dragging this.”
“Send out six legions to break a path through the military fortress and Rhine River.”
“The remaining nine legions and the chosen ones will eliminate everyone at the military fortresses in the middle. If possible, kill the lord of the City of Dawn. He deserves to die.”
“There is no need for this war to continue for much longer. What is the Black Lava Nation without the support of mercenary troops from the City of Dawn?”
Kainor laughed coldly. What benefits did the messenger of the Mercenary Guild, Roderick, receive such that he protected William’s identity as a mercenary soldier?
But so what?
If the Iron Nation wanted to give him some face, they would call him Prince. If not, they would kill him. Would the royal elves take revenge for a half-elf?
“The half-elf with Blackleaf blood!” Kainor thought about it for a very long time.
He felt that William was a pawn of the Blackleaf elves. If William Blackleaf grew stronger, or even stepped out of the Blackleaf forest and established himself in the human nations, this would be very beneficial to the Blackleaf elves.
But if he died, it was not a big deal. They would simply lose one of their pawns.
