Chapter 147 Gold Points (4200 words, two chapters in one)
"As soon as the action starts, you crush this crystal. After I sense it, I will attack immediately"
"If something unexpected happens, just crush the second crystal and I will evacuate immediately."
"The last one is a sensing crystal. I can sense where you are at any time. I will come to you after I rescue Ferguson. If I encounter a threat, I will crush this crystal and you will leave Temple City immediately."< br>
"Richard, be careful."
"Take care, Lord Knowles."
"Draco, is this where the devil you found is?"
A human commander wearing black armor and with a swollen belly glanced at the house across the street and frowned at the sallow-faced middle-aged man in front of him.
The middle-aged man who suddenly came to him two hours ago with an item stained with the devil's scent claimed to be a mercenary who had been wandering around for a long time and discovered traces of the devil.
The aura on that item couldn't be faked, so he immediately brought two teams of troops to investigate.
Sure enough, something was wrong.
His detection methods were unable to detect anything wrong with the building opposite, as it seemed that it was not inhabited at all.
But he saw with his own eyes someone moving inside
"Yes, my lord."
The other party's tone was solemn.
"I suggest you deploy more troops, preferably to completely seal the surrounding space to prevent the other party from escaping. You should know how proficient the devil is in space magic."
Seeing the other party's neither humble nor overbearing response, the fat commander's expression softened a bit.
"I hope what you said is true, otherwise you will know the consequences of lying about military intelligence!"
He has been stuck at the level of fourth-level commander for too long.
This mission to discover the devil is likely to make him the fifth-level commander he dreams of achieving
There are certain risks, and he is willing to take them!
Li Cha, who was disguised as a middle-aged man, was quietly relieved when he saw this.
After he came out of Black Oak Manor, he spent a lot of money to buy an officer's intelligence in a tavern that sold intelligence.
This commander, who was rated as depressed in terms of intelligence, desperately wanted to be promoted, and was twice as stupid as ordinary people, became his target.
He used his status as a free mercenary to dedicate the devil's information to the other party on the grounds that he wanted to get rewarded.
Sure enough, this guy was already crazy about being promoted. He finally seized this opportunity and took action immediately, even more proactively than him.
The fat conductor took out a short whistle from his pocket, put it in his mouth and blew it hard.
But the short whistle strangely did not make any sound.
After a few breaths.
The situation suddenly changed.
In the sky, a double-winged angel swooped down like lightning with three squads of Templar Dragoons.
The dragon sealed the surrounding area, and angels holding swords of holy light entered.
Pedestrians on the street were shocked. What happened? ?
A moment later, terrifying screams of resentment rang through my ears.
An extremely evil aura arose.
It was the darkness from hell. It was terrifying.
At this time, the passers-by realized that something was wrong and subconsciously screamed, trying to escape from this dangerous place.
But they discovered to their horror that they were unable to move at this moment
The devil was not willing to be slaughtered and began to resist. But under the leadership of the two-winged angel, no matter how crazy the counterattack was, it could not make any waves.
The battle subsided faster than Richard could have imagined.
After only a dozen breaths, the two-winged angels left with the Templar Dragoons.
Only a mostly collapsed building on the ground told what had just happened.
The passers-by were also free at this moment, but looking at the scene that had calmed down, no one ran away.
"What a devil!!"
The bulging human commander laughed and glanced at Richard in surprise.
"Wait for me here!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the two squadrons of troops behind him immediately followed.
Richard looked at this scene with a calm expression.
After a long time, the fat commander sent someone to call him.
Richard didn't hesitate and followed the other person into the house.
Later, in the half-collapsed hall, I saw the fat commander holding a partially burned piece of parchment and looking at it carefully.
After seeing him, the fat commander with a big belly immediately said excitedly.
"Draco!! Look what I found?!"
"A list!! A list that was half burned in a brazier!!"
"It records a large number of betrayers who have fornicated with the devil!!"
This is a great achievement!
Richard also showed some surprise.
"Sir, you must be favored by the goddess of luck!"
He said with some hesitation.
"But is this list real?"
"In case"
Before he finished speaking, the fat commander said fiercely.
"Impossible, this is definitely real!! I found it from the brazier!! Those flames are still burning on the paper, how could it be fake!"
"If I had come a little later, this list would have been burned!!"
"Hahaha, it all depends on my quick hands and quick eyes!"
This is a huge achievement, and anyone who dares to question him will be in a hurry.
Richard still hesitated.
"Sir, should we go find out first?"
The other party said coldly.
"I'll handle this matter, so you don't have to worry about it so much"
He said and looked at him deeply.
"I won't take your credit. If the superior comes to investigate the cause of this matter, I hope you can tell the truth."
In this matter, he acted decisively and achieved such results. If he hesitated even a little bit, the list would be burned.
"Yes, my lord."
The fat commander nodded, his eyes sharpening.
"Next, let's arrest these damn devil's minions one by one!"
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. His Majesty the King now hates those evil beings to the extreme!
He now sees the door to promotion opening to him.
Richard said quickly.
"Sir, those devil's minions are very likely to be connected with each other. If we go one by one, we may not leak the news"
"At that time, it is very likely that there will be a situation where the gains in the front are small but the losses later"
These words surprised the other party.
"What do you mean"
"Deploy the army and catch everyone at once! This will minimize the possibility of news leaks."
"And we have to act as soon as possible. This place has been destroyed. Other devils will find that something is wrong at any time and transfer."
"If we fail, then this mission will be greatly compromised!"
If this rare opportunity could be wasted, he could jump up and slap himself in the face.
The fat commander gritted his teeth and said.
"Confirm the situation of the devil first, then report the news here to your superiors, summon the army, and eradicate the evil in one fell swoop!!"
He now has no power to command an army that will eliminate dozens of devils at the same time
After tasting the sweetness and seeing the coveted promotion opportunity, the fat commander has entered a state of excitement, and no one can stop him! !
Not long after, the fat commander explored seven or eight areas and found something amiss, and then confirmed the accuracy of the list rescued from the brazier.
Then came the army.
Residents in several areas saw the Cathedral City's army searching for devils.
Watching the troops move at the same time, Richard silently crushed the crystal in his hand.
This plan cannot be said to be complicated, but the interesting point is that at this time, both the Evil Pact and the Oath of Light camps are in a nervous state.
As long as there is something wrong, it will cause great vigilance.
He only made a start, and the troops of the Templar Empire took the initiative to deal with the next thing.
The most critical point is that Richard also wants to avoid the scene of Knowles fighting with the devil.
If he followed the normal mission, Knowles, a level 19 dwarf, would definitely encounter fierce battles while driving the level 20 extraordinary hunter to eliminate the devil's minions one by one.
By the time they finally attack the elders of the Scarlet Council, the opponent must have gathered their strength.
The decisive battle will probably be extremely difficult.
In a collision of this level, it would be too difficult for him to ensure his own safety.
It will definitely end in a narrow escape like trying to regain the blood of the Holy Dragon.
His rebirth skill has not been restored yet, and he is in the Holy Temple City, and using it on the deserted land is looking for death.
Now this plan not only allows him to bypass the most intense main battlefield, but also ensures his safety.
Moreover, he directly eliminated all the devil's subordinates, weakening the power of the elders of the Scarlet Council.
Make the rescue operation of Knowles, a dwarf, smoother.
Kill three birds with one stone.
After the siege began, the fat commander had brain congestion in order to be promoted.
I wish I could personally lead an army to attack every devil stronghold.
Richard was arranged to enter the guard's barracks, and he was happy to be at ease, eating melon quietly in the rear while waiting for the dwarf to rescue Ferguson
This battle against the devil ended quickly.
Under the absolute power, the dozens of Scarlet Council members who had fornicated with the devil were eliminated without any room for resistance.
But the cleaning of the battlefield was not completed until dusk.
In the middle of the journey, just as the fat commander said, several senior officers came to ask him about the devil.
With his super camouflage skills, he naturally didn't give up and told his original story again.
The other party cast screening magic on him several times. After confirming that there was no problem, he took a drop of blood from his body before leaving.
Richard waited until late at night before seeing the fat commander return.
After the other party entered his temporary settlement, his expression was extremely ugly.
There was no excitement at all about making a great achievement.
"Draco, I have been promoted. I am now a fifth-level commander and can command a force of a thousand men!"
Richard was puzzled, "Why can't I see joy on your face? Did something happen?"
"The third princess is missing."
The fat commander said harshly.
"Those damn bastards blamed our city guards for the disappearance of the third princess, so I must find the princess within one day!!"
Richard was stunned, what the hell is this, the third princess or the eighth princess? He was not interested in these.
Standing up, ready to find a reason to say goodbye and leave, the dwarf should have succeeded by now.
But before he could say anything, the other party took out a medal from his arms and handed it to him.
"This is the credit I asked for for you. You are now a first-level commander and can command a team of 10 people."
"It is not easy for ordinary people to join the army, let alone become an officer directly."
"But with my strong recommendation, I will make an exception and promote you to the rank of first-level commander."
After saying that, she looked at him with a proud look on her face.
"Well, I'll keep my word! If you follow a superior like me, I won't treat you badly!"
"Take the medal. This is your identity certificate. The drop of blood you gave today is used to bind it. This is a magic item. Be sure not to lose it. Otherwise, you will be punished by military regulations!"
After reaching out and taking the medal, Li was stunned.
"Lord Commander, I don't think I said I wanted to join the army."
Where did this come from? ?
The dragon crystal for the A-level mission is still waiting for him to collect, and he also has to find a way to get the dwarf's level 20 mechanical puppet. Who wants to be a first-level commander in this wretched place?
What's more, after working so hard to rescue Ferguson this time, that guy shouldn't reward him with three to five kilograms of holy dragon's blood?
The fat conductor laughed.
"It's not up to you. His Majesty the King has issued a conscription order. All residents who are capable must join the army. It is the obligation of each of us to fight against the evil covenant!"
Damn, this plot is different from what he thought.
The corners of Li Chacha's mouth twitched.
At this moment, the system prompt suddenly rang.
"Ding~ You have been appointed as the first-level commander of the Temple City Guard Army and received the first-level medal."
Military Medal
Level: Level 1
Features: Increases the wearer's strength by 10%
Introduction: The object used by the Templar Empire army to prove their identity
Richard was stunned for a moment. Are there any attributes? ?
But the system prompts are not over yet and continue to sound.
"Ding~ Qingqiu becomes the first-level commander of the Templar Empire and opens the military ranking list. Lords of the Templar Empire camp can actively join the army and obtain military merits. Military merits can be exchanged for unique rewards in the army. Please explore independently for specific conditions."
"Ding~ You have achieved a special achievement - the first officer, you get 1 gold point."
Gold points: can be exchanged for rare rewards after the time fragment ends.
Richard's expression at this time was quite wonderful.
Is this possible? ?
He just wanted to avoid the head-on battle between the dwarfs and the elders of the Scarlet Council, and just wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife. How could he be dragged into the Templar Empire's army?
But this gold point seems to be a rare and good thing.
The players in the dungeon didn't know the secret. When they saw this system prompt, they immediately started talking about it.
Players in the Oath of Light camp immediately became really popular.
"The boss of Qingqiu is so powerful"
“One more way to make a fortune, so cool”
"I didn't expect that the Qingqiu boss would be in the same camp as us!"
"Hahaha, is this the benefit of hugging your thighs? The things in the army look like high-end goods at first glance"
"."
Those in the Evil Pact camp looked at whether the other party had them or not, and suddenly felt unhappy.
"Qingqiu hasn't been fucked yet?? Is there any justice? Why does this pervert always come out and break the rules?"
"Military Merit Ranking? Why is there no Evil Pact?? It's not fair, I want to protest!!"
"Qingqiu, why did Qingqiu finally start to tremble again after a few days of calmness?"
"."
Players have a rather complicated attitude towards Richard, with both admiration and dissatisfaction.
His points have not moved in the past two days, but even so, there is still a full 40,000 points gap between him and the second place in the rankings.
The other party has been working hard for three days but still hasn't broken through 100,000 points.
And Richard's points were scored in just over an hour on the first day.
Such a comparison almost makes everyone suffocate.
The word "Qingqiu" is like a big mountain, pressing hard on everyone's head.
It gives them the feeling that what they can see when they look up is not the sky, but Qingqiu
That guy makes everyone unable to hold their heads up. (End of chapter)
