Chapter 29 Underground Ruins
Duanmuhuai was not surprised by the dwarves' request. In fact, many long-term tasks experienced by players had similar plots.
Accept mission A and lead passerby A to find passerby B, passerby B is not there, and then accept mission B to find passerby B, and then find passerby B, but passerby B cannot go back yet. If you want him to go back, the player must complete the task given by passerby B. C, but in order to complete task C, he had to complete prerequisite task D first... Well, his blood pressure suddenly rose.
Of course, for players, most of the time these tasks can be simplified to "who to kill", "where to kill" and "how many to kill".
The same is true now for Duanmuhuai.
"We recently dug a ruins underground!"
Where to kill is no longer a question.
"But what we didn't expect was that there was a group of damn bugs and rats inside! I don't know where they came from, but they actually quietly set up camp under our noses!"
I have an answer for who I want to kill.
"We plan to completely eliminate these bedbugs! But we are currently short of manpower. If you are willing to help, we can make an exception and let you go to Bretonnia!"
The question of how many to kill is also solved.
[Activate time-limited task "Disinfection"]
[Mission goal: Destroy the rat camp]
[The ratman camp under the Gray Mountains is a serious problem for the dwarves. Eliminate it completely and avoid future troubles forever! 】
"Okay, no problem."
Seeing the mission information popping up in front of him, Duanmu Huai gave a decisive answer.
"I want to explain first, it's not me...what did you say?"
Duanmu Huai's attitude really surprised the dwarf. He originally thought it would take a while, but unexpectedly Duanmu Huai agreed happily.
"Are you sure? This is not an easy task. I have to make it clear to you that those rat people are difficult to deal with..."
"But only then will you be willing to let us cross the Gray Mountains and head towards Bretonnia."
Duanmuhuai didn't bother to make any meanderings and pointed out the key point directly.
"Or can you change the conditions?"
"Woo......"
After hearing Duanmuhuai's rebuttal, the dwarf thought for a moment, and then slapped his thigh fiercely.
"Okay, it's settled, big man, don't let me down!"
Duanmuhuai was too lazy to cause trouble, and the dwarf was also outright violent. The two sides quickly reached a consensus - Alyssa and others could rest in the dwarf's fortress first, while Duanmuhuai would take Ogis to cooperate with the dwarves. Attack the Skaven camp located underground. Duanmuhuai still trusts the credibility of the dwarves. Although they are sometimes grumpy and stubborn as stone, they also keep their promises and never go back on what they promised. That's why Duanmu Huai so happily agreed to go with them to encircle and suppress the rat people. If it were another race, Duanmu Huai might have to consider what other conspiracies the other party had.
"Please be careful, Lord Knight."
Before Duanmuhuai and Ojisi set off, Alyssa and Christine also looked at him uneasily and gave their blessings.
"Don't worry, it's just a small group of ratmen, we can handle it."
Duanmuhuai seemed very calm. After comforting Alyssa for a few words, he looked at the old knight and the elf scout.
"Then I'll leave it to you, although I think there won't be any danger in the dwarves' territory."
"Don't worry, leave it to us. We will also take this opportunity to buy some supplies."
The elf scout answered with a smile, and the old knight Cardo also nodded. After that, Duanmuhuai left again and met with the dwarves.
"Big man, you are on time!!"
The leader of the dwarf was very happy to see Duanmu Huai again. He laughed and waved his hand to Duanmu Huai, and behind him were dwarf warriors wearing heavy armor and fully armed. It's obvious that dwarves are equally resolute in doing things and don't take things lightly.
The appearance of Duanmu Huai also caused a commotion among the dwarf warriors. They even mistook Duanmu Huai for a green-skinned orc wearing armor... Well, Duanmu Huai could only pretend not to have heard of it.
After the two parties met, they set off along the tunnel toward the underground ruins.
Fortunately, although Duanmu Huai was tall, the tunnel dug by the dwarves was also very high, rather than a narrow tunnel, so it did not cause any particular trouble to Duanmu Huai. He just followed the dwarf and moved forward along the excavated passage. He didn't know how long he walked. Finally, the world in front of him suddenly became clear.
What appeared in front of Duanmuhuai was a huge and deep underground cavity, the size of several football fields. Inside were various architectural ruins. In addition, under the green light, Duanmuhuai could I could clearly see the rat people happily digging through the garbage deep in the ruins.
However, Duanmuhuai didn't care about these rat people. On the contrary, when he walked into the ruins, Duanmuhuai was immediately attracted by the style of the ruins.
Um? This style is…………
"Big man, did you see it?"
However, before Duanmuhuai could take a closer look at the ruins, the dwarf's voice sounded again, pulling him back. He lowered his head and looked at the dwarf at his feet - he was none other than the lord here, Brock Stonetrough.
"Well, what's your plan?"
"We hope you can go up and attract the attention of these rat men first, and then we will take the opportunity to pounce! Catch them off guard!"
As he spoke, Bullock stared at Duanmuhuai with beady eyes, and the latter nodded without hesitation.
"No problem, leave it to me and you can just follow."
Although Bullock's approach was a bit like asking Duanmuhuai to block the hole of the gun, Duanmuhuai didn't care. After all, his fighting style was like this. Besides, he was only 2.5 meters tall and wearing a suit of power armor. He couldn't rush forward if he didn't. As a striker, are you still planning to shoot cold shots behind your back?
Putting aside whether the style of painting is right or not, his shooting skills... are really not that good either.
In fact, in the player's initial equipment, in addition to the power hammer and chain sword, there are also long-range weapons such as bolt guns to choose from, but Duanmu Huai has never chosen them. I don’t know why, but his shooting skills are extremely poor. He is a master of human body contouring who can’t hit anyone in FPS for a long time. This is one of the reasons why Duanmu Huai chose the melee violent style in the game.
The only thing he can use now is the grenade launcher that comes with the power armor, and occasionally throws a sonic grenade or something like that to control the field - this thing has a wide range of effect, and it doesn't matter if it hits or misses.
The second reason is...the damage caused by shooting weapons to Chaos Demons is not high.
According to the explanation in the game, Chaos Demons are the product of the most primitive emotions and soul power of living beings. Therefore, as the deepest ancient fear of the soul, only weapons such as swords can bring harm to them, and the damage of firearms It's not that high.
At that time, players were still quarreling over this. If this setting was followed, wouldn't it do as much damage if I used a bow, arrow, slingshot or spear?
Or if I take a stick with bones, it will hurt me and go to heaven? After all, the attack power of a bone stick is about the same as that of a spaceship, right? ———Whoever said this must have watched too much Space Odyssey.
Although players had a lot of complaints and dissatisfaction, in the end they still couldn't equip melee weapons obediently... After all, melee weapons are still very useful in many cases.
Especially when you are running out of ammunition and food.
"Then, I'll go first!"
As he finished speaking, Duanmuhuai jumped up, and at the same time, the jetpack behind him once again shot out a violent stream of air. Then Duanmuhuai cut through the sky like a meteorite and crashed directly into the ratman's camp. Among! !
"Quack quack quack!!!!"
The rat camp that was suddenly attacked was also in chaos. The rat men who were happily digging garbage in the ruins now jumped up as if they had been stabbed in the butt, screaming and rushing towards Duanmuhuai. passed.
Seeing this scene, Bullock also raised his battle ax high and gave the order.
"Attack!!!"
