Chapter 608: RMB Army descends
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The next morning, I went online after eating breakfast.
……
A layer of mist wrapped around the skies of Winter Sun City. The sun rose up and chased away the mist. Streaks of sunlight shone on the skies of the main city and the scenery was really majestic and beautiful.
The moment I finished repairing my equipment, I heard dense footsteps. A high level Warrior rode across and it was Dragonrider Hall’s Ghostwalker. He smiled, “Move aside, please move aside, Dragonrider Hall’s mercenary squad is passing by, thank you beauties and handsome brothers!”
Behind Ghostwalker was Wines and Poems that was in an orange and red wrapped armor. He rode his horse slowly and led hundreds of NPC troops. These troops all had different names, some were green, and some were purple. There were even some with orange. Behind their names was written: Belongs to the player: Wines and Poems.
Finally, it was here, mercenary troops mode!
I sucked in a deep breath and looked into the distance. Along with footsteps, Lin Xi appeared beside me and said, “Scoff… This Zhou Datong, he actually didn’t know how to spend money and started to use this mercenary mode…”
I counted, “Close to 500 soldiers, this means that his rank reached Valiant Officer.”
“Right.”
She nodded, “Let’s go, let’s head over to the army camp. Even if we aren’t hiring troops, we need to understand how it works.”
“En–”
……
We walked side by side towards the city. Not long later, a well defended camp appeared ahead. Lines of iron fences were covered in soldiers and there were many cavalries training. Numerous NPC troops were training their skills. That place was not for players. Outside the camp were rows of NPCs, they were all quasi generals, high grade Boss NPCs.
“Kid!”
When I got close, a general with a beard smiled. He looked at the grade five inspired officer rank and smiled, “So Sir is already a grade five Inspired Officer, why not get some soldiers to serve you. After all, in the fight against evil spirits, one person is not enough!”
I coughed, “Let me have a look!”
“Okay!”
A dense purchase interface appeared in front of me. There were all sorts of colored troops, their prices were also all different—
Shen Bai (Blue): Cavalry, special skill Spear Thrust, 8000 gold
Cold Moonflower (Orange): Archer, special skill Bow Fire, 94000 gold
Chi Qing (Green): Infantry, special skill Round Shield Defence, 500 gold
Yu Wenshang (White): Cavalry, special skill Thrust, 100 gold
Di Yi (Green): Infantry, Special Skill Round Shield Defence, 600 gold
Peng Xian (Purple): Bowman, special skill Scattered Fire, 32000 gold
Shao Shiman (Green): Cavalry, special skill Iron Spear Thrust, 550 gold
Mu Chenghai (Purple): Cavalry, special skill Iron Cavalry Charge, 40000 gold
Note: Each refresh will cost 500 gold. After the soldier dies he won’t be able to revive. Everyday, you can head to the army camp to redeem troops. Soldiers aren’t able to enter dungeons and S Grade and above maps. They can join in PK and their level will be correlated to the players’ level.
……
One row of them was a total of 20 troops and they were all lined up. Lin Xi got close to me, “What did you get?”
I waved and shared them with her.
“Wa oh—”
Lin Xi’s eyes opened wide and smiled, “Not bad, one orange and two purple. This luck is so overpowered. I only got one purple and three blue, the rest were cannon fodder.”
I nodded and said, “This Army system… RMB’s battle is about to begin… Since they can join PK, we might face NPC armies.”
“No need to worry.”
Lin Xi held Fallen Frost Sword and looked at me, “The troops’ stats weren’t too high. Even the orange ones have 500 thousand health and are similar to Legendary Grade monsters. Moreover, they are so expensive and normal players might not be able to afford orange troops.”
“The current gold ratio is 1:4.” I said, “This means that if I buy the orange and two purple troops, I would have to spend 41500 RMB. That… In high intense battles, these soldiers would get killed by Ruyi and Shen Mingxuan. Just like that and 40 thousand would be lost, that money would be gone.”
Lin Xi laughed, “People who buy troops now are just using them to level but I think it is not worth it. Unless one can form an orange army, maybe it might help. Moreover, they need to have a bunch of Paladins and Priests to heal if not it wouldn’t be useful.”
“En.”
I nodded, “Forget it, we don’t need this. Let’s go and do what we must—”
We returned to the East Square but when we arrived, we noticed that Wines and Poem’s army was gathered at the Great shrine Hall. On close look, he hired 12 orange troops, 50+ Purple troops. He had spent a large amount. But when he was inspecting his troops, he caused a jam and many players couldn’t pass through. All of them cursed out.
“Damn… Who is it? Recruit so many NPC troops to block the road, so shameless!”
“Oh, so it is Dragonrider Hall’s guild leader, really shameless!”
“Aren’t you just rich? Stop showing off! Feng Canghai and Fengxian are rich too but I don’t see them bragging like this?”
“Disgusting! Move aside!”
Even Ah Fei stood at the entrance and cursed, “Damn you all, who blocked my path? Winter Sun City members aren’t able to get inscriptions, can you pay for that?”
With the crowd getting mad, Wines and Poems had enough of bragging. He pointed his blade outside and smiled, “Brothers, let’s go level!”
“Head out!”
They headed out of the city and protected Wines and Poems’ 500 expensive NPC troops.
I looked at everyone’s back view and smiled. These troops couldn’t be used to hunt in high level maps and couldn’t be used to kill Bosses. Only PK, so they aren’t actually useful. Against normal players, one level loss didn’t mean much but if they killed one orange soldier, it was a huge win. If they used troops to fight, even if Zhou Datong’s family was rich, they would go bankrupt.
……
“Okay—”
Lin Xi summoned the White Deer and rode it out. She held Fallen Frost Sword and waved toward Shen Mingxuan and Gu Ruyi. She then smiled at me, “I am bringing everyone to level, if you aren’t following then go do your own things.”
“En en, go. Be careful, don’t get surrounded by Zhou Datong’s army.”
“Understood!”
I sucked in a deep breath and looked at their back view. I laughed. Buying troops wasn’t my gold. Using money to buy such expensive consumables wasn’t either. I was one of the only fifth grade valiant officers. Apart from those who went all out to level, no one would be higher than mine. To me, the biggest draw of the rank wasn’t the number of troops that I could purchase but the status in the army. En, I had to get a higher rank to be able to do anything in Xuanyuan Empire. Only then would I be able to have more power in the human faction.
Head out, to Dragon Region to do quests!
……
After a flash, I appeared on Dragon Region’s square and came to the main hall. As expected, in the commander hall beside the meeting hall, Senior Sister Yun was in a white dress. White Dragon energy wrapped around her, she started to cultivate White Source Dragon’s White Dragon Technique.
One can deduce that this technique was one of the strongest in the world. After all, Source White Dragon was the ancestor of all things so one could imagine how strong the technique he taught was. Since ancient times, there were many techniques but they were lost in time. Only a handful could be kept. Source White Dragon was a living fossil so this technique would be different.
Thus, right when I was hesitating whether or not to disturb her, she opened her eyes and smiled at me, “Junior Brother you are here.”
“En.”
I nodded, “I came to take a look at whether Dragon Region needs my service.”
“Of course.”
Lan Che glanced at me, “Lady Yun Yue, I can help you with quests and see what is suitable for him?”
“Sure.” Senior Sister smiled.
“Okay.”
Lan Che looked at the scrolls, “Winter Sun City’s grain troops are heading out and are transporting 5000 stone of grain to Dragon Region but there are not many following soldiers. You want to protect them?”
My mouth twitched, “Isn’t it too difficult?”
“Yes.”
She opened another scroll and said, “Southwest of Dragon Valley, due to many poison dragons, these dumb fellows started to excrete all around such that dragon shit is covering the land. No trees are growing so someone has to remove them. You can lead 50 people over?”
My body shook, “Is there any higher level ones? Beautiful Lan Che?”
“Scoff! So hard to handle…”
Her mouth twitched and she opened another page, “Recently a bunch of Pioneer Cavalries appeared in the north forest, maybe you can wipe them out…”
