Chapter 370 Fu Ge's Escort Mission
Among the first batch of expeditionary forces that arrived, except for the logistics soldiers, the rest were strictly selected elites.
The Crystal Mage fully understands that he is not suitable for front-line combat, let alone being a leader. However, his long lifespan has allowed him to store a lot of knowledge in his mind, so he can serve as a "mentor", which is what he has always done.
Set up an outpost and wait for Lind to arrive.
But before that, we cannot do nothing. The crystal mages who once fought on the front line of the Great Rift know how to create an advantage as quickly as possible.
"We can't go directly to the Great Rift of the Abyss. Facing the Abyss, no matter how powerful we are, we cannot decide victory, not even General Lind. The Abyss will corrode our minds all the time, so before that we must find a group of people. You can call them 'Festering Exiles'. They live in the village south of Morpheus' Gate. They can make resistance medicine to the erosion of the Abyss. That is the thing that can keep our minds intact."
"Won't we be eroded by the abyss if we go deeper into Morpheus' Gate?" a voice asked.
People turned their heads and saw that it was Fuller who was speaking.
He is a "thief" and now takes on the job of a sentinel, a job that is destined to belong to him.
The Crystal Mage said, "You may encounter danger, but I promise you that you will not be eroded. The Abyss has no way to bring its curse out of the Great Rift. That's why it took them so long to get out."
"I have a map that will take you to the village. Just remember to avoid some flesh-eating flies and some black water cockroaches on the way."
Fuller couldn't help but ask, "What is that?"
"You will recognize him when you meet him." The crystal wizard smiled. Everyone present was a great knight. Even if they were not great knights, they would be forcibly promoted to great knights by Linde.
This is war. Without extraordinary powers, we are not even qualified to provide logistics.
However, as long as the knight does not enter the front line of the crack, he will walk sideways in this area. How could he be afraid of a slightly larger carnivorous fly?
Only Fuller had a bitter face; he felt that this task was reserved for him.
……
"Oh my god, this is Morpheus' Gate. Why does it feel so much worse than I imagined?"
"Is there anyone who wants to team up and go out and add wards? Don't add them too close together, or you won't get any experience points."
"I'm out of money. Scouting guards are too expensive."
"Hey! The mission has been issued!"
The group of undead who were originally sluggishly standing up suddenly rushed forward in a swarm.
Finally there is a mission!
The mission content was hung on the board. Perhaps the area covered by the reconnaissance guards was too small, or for other reasons, their lion badges could only be used in "safe areas".
After receiving the task, you have to get a paper task scroll. The good news is that after arriving in the safe zone, you can update your combat experience points and upload them online for "cloud saving".
[Escort Exploration Team: A Sentinel team will go deep into a village south of Morpheus Gate. We are urgently recruiting a group of undead who are good at hiding to escort Sentinel Fuller. If you can do "hush" and "don't make any noise", come on. Reward: 5 experience points]
[Build an outpost: We have arrived at Morpheus' Gate, but it has become shabby... very shabby! Rebuild the outpost under command and build the walls high. You also want a place where you can snore and sleep comfortably, right? Reward: 3 experience points]
[Investigation and Collection: You need to receive the pre-task of "Build Outpost". Stone, stone, and stone! Collect stones and find some other resources. Reward: 50 military merits]
[Logistics Patrol: You need to receive the pre-task of "Build an Outpost". The importance of logistics resources is far more important than anything else. Make sure no thieves take anything away. Reward: 50 Military Merits]
[Expeditionary Force Salary: Remember to go to the safe zone to collect your salary for today. Rewards: 1 Battle Point, 10 Military Merits]
The missions were not as popular as expected. The undead looked at the huge disparity in the prices of the missions and began to think. From the perspective of rewards, the most profitable mission was to escort the exploration team. It was 5 experience points. You had to pay out of your own pocket to buy a reconnaissance guard and insert 5 wards in a row. It was pure profit.
An ordinary escort mission has no danger mark, which means it is not difficult.
It would be a profit if you really encounter danger, and you might even get extra rewards.
But if you leave the exploration team, there is a high possibility that... you will not be able to sign in.
The expeditionary force's "check-in" must be in a safe zone and is issued on a daily basis. La Geda's original experience serves as a warning.
If the escort investigation mission exceeds 5 days, it would be better for everyone to earn more by just moving bricks in the camp. The longer it takes, the more you lose.
On the contrary, building an outpost has become a task that the undead are scrambling to find. They can receive a fixed salary reward every day, and an additional reward of 3 experience points. No matter how you look at it, it is more profitable than the first task.
In the end, the mission of escorting Sentinel Fuller was taken over by the wealthy "rich guys".
Rich people include game anchors, local tyrants, and studios.
The price of scout guards is a bit too high for ordinary people. When they are not sure how far the southern village is, if the distance is too far, they will have to face two situations: giving up the mission and coming back to collect the salary, or giving up the salary and completing the mission.
But it is not a problem for the rich group, they can exchange money and resources to purchase reconnaissance guards through offline transactions.
Since there is no way to "sign in", why not just place wards along the way and expand the range over there?
Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.
If the game officials had not opened the currency exchange and recharge platform, they would have already been equipped with magical equipment.
The exploration team led by Fuller passed through the Gate of Morpheus. They did not ride horses because livestock were a precious resource and had to remain in the camp.
However, a group of great knights and wizards acting collectively are not slow.
The journey is expected to take 3 days.
As night fell they rested by the roadside and built a bonfire.
Every once in a while, undead people disappear.
Fuller spent the night in fear, but fortunately he was not alone. The undead also knew that protecting Fuller was the most important task, so they would ensure that someone would be guarding Fuller when he was online and offline.
On the second night, Fuller's condition was even worse. He hallucinated the roar of some wild beast and kept repeating "glory" and "honor" in his mind before he could fall asleep.
By the third night, the wind was a little strong. It was late autumn and the weather was turning cold.
Fuller poked the campfire with a stick to make the flames burn more vigorously.
"Roar--!"
This time he heard the sound more clearly, and it was nearby.
Fuller was a great knight, but his first reaction was to look at the undead.
Unlike Fuller, the undead man showed joy: "Here we come!"
