Volume 2: The Road to Dragon Feast Chapter 100 This Day Is Unbearable
Murphy took a careful look at the outer wall of the fortress, and checked the barracks inside the fortress. They were almost empty, with only one barracks having soldiers. There were only two fortress guards in the fortress hall. There were no more than twenty people in the entire fortress who could fight, and the rest were bandits like him who were only one or two levels high and were recruited to make up the numbers.
(Haha, now we're safe. With such a weak defense, once my army arrives at the city gates, we will be able to wipe it out in one fell swoop. I'm really a genius. I can actually come up with such a clever reconnaissance plan. The three bandit strongholds can definitely be easily dealt with. Hahaha!)
Murphy was secretly happy, but the two players beside him noticed the change in his expression.
Passerby A (Bandit Raider): "I say, is this new guy mentally ill?"
Xiao Bingyi (Bandit Looter): "It must be the first time I've played this kind of holographic virtual game. I guess I was shocked."
Lindenwan (the bandit leader): "Hey, have you two had enough chatting? If you have, come and get to work. We must build the arrow tower of the camp as soon as possible. We don't know when the next wave of adventurers will arrive."
The two thieves who were chatting felt helpless.
Passerby A (Bandit Raider): "Aren't there minions over there? Just let the NPC do the work."
Xiao Bingyi (mountain bandit): "That's right, we are playing a game, and what we are doing is murder and arson. What's the big deal about doing hard labor and moving bricks every day?"
Lindenwan (Bandit Leader): "Damn it, there are only two waves of NPCs today. It will take at least tomorrow to repair the camp. What if adventurers come during this time? You guys don't want to live anymore."
The two bandits had no choice but to pick up their tools and get to work.
Xiao Bing Yi (Bandit Looter): "Hey, new guy, stop grinning and get to work."
Greyhouse (Bandit): "Here I come."
Although it has been confirmed that the fortress's defense is not very good, for the sake of safety, Murphy still decided to observe more and thoroughly understand the terrain of the village wall.
The terrain of this mountain stronghold is not very dangerous. There is a wide and gentle slope in front of it with no obstructions. It is easy to rush to the fortress gate.
However, if we can completely repair the defense system, build arrow towers, and install crossbows, we should still be able to resist.
He was observing how quickly the bandits were repairing the arrow tower when he suddenly felt a chill on his back. Turning around, he saw three bandits staring at him, marking time in the same place and looking a bit like a devil.
Damn, what the hell?
Passerby A (Bandit Raider): "You've blocked the road. These bandit minions are all NPCs, and they're all stupid. Once they encounter someone blocking the road, they'll easily get stuck and become motionless."
Murphy quickly stepped aside. He also noticed that the wall of the village was very narrow, especially the stairs leading up and down the wall, which could only allow two people to pass side by side. If one person stood in the middle of the stairs, it would be easy for others to be blocked.
Murphy looked at the narrow staircase and his heart moved slightly. The specifications of these bandit fortresses were basically the same. They all had wooden walls with arrow towers and crossbows installed on them, and people went up and down the stairs. The Vulture Fortress also had such stairs, which were equally narrow.
Normally, there are only three or five bandits on the village wall keeping watch. Most of the bandits are resting in the barracks and will only come out to fight when attacked.
If we could send people to guard the stairs in advance when attacking the fortress, the attack would be much easier.
However, it is not easy to do this. It requires an expert with flying or climbing skills. Perhaps you can ask Black Shadow for help. With his agility, it is easy for him to sneak into the bandit fortress. However, although he has a high level, thieves are not good at head-on confrontation. Even with the level advantage, he may not be able to hold on for too long. I don’t know if he can hold on until I break through the gate.
Oh, I got it - it would be difficult if the enemy was blocking the intersection, but it would be easy if they were friendly forces.
A bold plan emerged in his mind. If this plan could really succeed, not to mention the Lone Wolf Fortress and the Vulture Fortress, all the bandit fortresses of the same type would not be a problem.
However, the prerequisite for achieving this is that there must be cooperation from others, and it must be a player, such as Linden Wan. I just don't know whether Linden Wan is willing to give up his "foundation" and cooperate with me.
He was thinking about how to take advantage of them, when suddenly a bandit came crawling into the gate of the stronghold.
Bai Zhantang (bandit): "Oh no, oh no, the adventurers are coming again."
As soon as these words were spoken, the village suddenly fell silent.
Lindenwan (the bandit leader): "Fuck it, we were just swept away by a wave yesterday, and they come again today. This life is unbearable. Damn it, everyone prepare for the battle, and all archers go up to the city walls."
At the command, the bandits in the stronghold immediately took action. Five or six bandit raiders armed with javelins and seven or eight bandit minions filled the stronghold wall. Several bandit plunderers armed with axes and round shields were all arranged inside the gate, ready to block the door at any time. Three bandit archers stood on the only repaired arrow tower.
Just as we finished setting up this place, we saw a group of adventurers rushing up from the main road.
This team of adventurers was much more powerful than the small ones Murphy had encountered before. They were all high-level adventurers above level 40. Although there were only five of them, when they fought towards the door, the whole momentum felt different.
A human monk, an elven druid, a human priest, a human mage, and a dwarf hunter. A very standard five-man team.
I have two sniper rifles (Hunter) "Captain, look, this is the stronghold. It looks easy to capture. If we capture it, we can grab some war resources. The price of war resources is rising right now, so we can definitely make a fortune."
Akimund (Druid): "I think it's okay. I'll go up and draw the fire first. Priest, heal me. Mage, get ready to attack the door!"
As several people were discussing tactics, Lin Dengwan on the village wall called out from afar.
Lindenwan (Bandit Leader): "Brothers, can you please give me some face and wait until all the NPCs in my base are gone before you come back?"
Akimund (Druid): "Damn it, I'll give you a face, the new expansion is about to be released, everyone is farming materials and supplies, if we don't come, someone else will - prepare to attack!"
After saying that, he let out a loud roar and transformed into a giant armored bear, with shining silver armor and white hair, looking very heroic.
Lindenwan (Bandit Leader): "Are you kidding me? The Armored Bear Transformation is an advanced skill for level 50, right? You guys are level 50+ and you come to our small, broken stronghold to raid it. Do you have any conscience?"
The Light of Righteousness (Pastor): "You scums of the underworld are to be killed by everyone. Boss, stop talking nonsense with them. Go ahead!
While he was talking, the bear had already put on several buffs such as barkskin magic, bull strength, and protection from arrows, and rushed up, starting to smash the village gate.
Lindenwan (the bandit leader): "Fuck them, let's fight them. Shoot arrows."
The archers on the arrow tower immediately began to shoot arrows, and the bandits and raiders also threw their javelins with all their might. After all, this game was not a purely numerical game of level. Even if one was weaker, with the fortress as support, one should still be able to fight.
However, there were too few archers. The bandit raiders only had three javelins and no crossbows. The priest behind them was still constantly replenishing their blood. The bear was shot like a hedgehog and could not be killed.
The wizard suddenly appeared and cast a fire blast. Boom! The village gate, which had little durability left, was shattered.
Awooo! The armored bear roared and led the way into the village gate. The bandits and looters who were blocking the gate rushed forward and chopped down with five or six axes and swords. However, they were no match for the giant bear. The bear pawed left and right, pulling out chickens with ease.
The monk rushed to the wall of the village, obviously wanting to show off his skills. He didn't go through the main gate but used a "Flying Cloud" to climb up the wall. He kicked a bandit attacker off the wall with a roundhouse kick, and then used a Hundred Fierce Punch to beat another bandit attacker until he spit out blood. Then, he screamed and kicked and knocked down a group of bandits.
This close combat type of profession is most effective in confined spaces.
Lin Dengwan hurriedly drew out his double swords to fight the enemy. One of them danced with his swords wildly, while the other did a somersault and kicked. It really felt like something out of a martial arts movie.
The archers on the arrow tower were still trying to shoot arrows, but they were shot in the head one after another by the dwarf hunter's musket.
These combat soldiers didn't even last two minutes before the bandits collapsed and fled in all directions.
Only Lin Dengwan was still struggling, wielding the two swords in his hands with great vigor, spinning left and right, then swinging the swords wildly, but his subordinates were chopped down one after another, and he suddenly became panic-stricken.
The monk suddenly did a somersault behind him and froze him on the spot with a pressure-pressing move. The mage flashed over and cast a firebomb on his face, which dealt four times the damage with a critical hit and a heavy blow extension - killing him instantly.
Even one of the two blue-quality scimitars in his hands exploded.
Finally, the fighting subsided, and the adventurers excitedly rushed into the hall of the stronghold and plundered all the few resources.
Murphy did not make a move from beginning to end. He hid in the corner and shivered, pretending to be an NPC. These adventurers seemed to look down on the few experience points of these bandits. They robbed the things and left to prevent him from tasting death again.
When the bandits were resurrected, they were all in tears when faced with the ruined mountain village.
It was miserable enough before, and now it really feels like a pile of broken tiles and ruins.
Fortunately, these adventurers understood the principle of sustainable development and did not destroy the fortress hall. As long as they waited for a while, they would still be able to spawn bandits.
But the bandit leader couldn't stand it anymore.
Lindenwan (the bandit leader): "Fuck him, this life is unbearable. We are raided every day. At least wait until we recover before attacking. I was fooled and took such a deal. I didn't expect it to be a big trap. I knew there was something fishy when that guy sold me a fortress for 500 yuan. No, I quit. I'm going to join the Syndicate Brotherhood."
Passerby A (Bandit Raider): "No, Boss, if you leave, what will happen to this village? The bandit leaders spawned by the system are all morons. Then we will really become leeks. Besides, if you go to other strongholds, you can only be someone's younger brother, and you may not even be able to get a rare elite. If you stay here, you will at least be a bandit leader, a small BOSS level."
Xiao Bingyi (Bandit Looter): "Yeah, Boss, let's work together. As long as we can repair the fortress and kill a few more waves of minions, we'll be safe. We've died so many times here, at least we can get some money back."
Several bandits cried bitterly, which made Murphy laugh.
Not bad, not bad. Such a miserable BOSS will surely accept my proposal.
Quietly exiting the game, Murphy logged back into his Prince account.
Murphy felt the powerful force in his body and said with emotion, "Huh, heroes are still awesome."
Although this game claims to be realistic and that even the weakest person has a chance to defeat the strong, in the final analysis, this possibility is just a possibility.
In reality, a child can kill a fully armored general with one stab, but if a real fight breaks out, a hundred children are no match for one general.
As long as you are not a fool, once your strength reaches a certain level, it will be very difficult for a low-level person to defeat a high-level person.
The reason he was able to slay dragons above his level was not just because of his skills, but also because of the legendary weapon worth millions, the Dragon-Slaying Sword. Without this thing, it would be difficult to win no matter how hard he tried.
Before, he always thought that this Prince was too weak compared to the Black Dragon Lord, and the upgrade process was too long. However, after playing the first-level thief, he truly understood what weak meant.
No more talking, upgrade now.
