Volume 2: The Road to Dragon Feast Chapter 59 Kingdom Mission 'Hunting the Black Dragon'
Father! All the princes stood up and saluted at the same time , making a startling noise.
"Well, sit down, we are all family, no need to be polite. The king waved his hand, and everyone sat down in a flash, and then they all looked at the king eagerly.
Aiden Perenolde (King of Alterac): "The kingdom is now overwhelmed with affairs, with monsters and bandits everywhere, and many other things that need to be dealt with. You are all princes of Alterac, sons of Aiden, so you must share my worries, Minister!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The court minister at the side hung a huge parchment scroll on the wall, which listed various incidents that had occurred in various parts of the kingdom in the past week and needed to be dealt with.
Every week the king will release these events as kingdom missions. If you complete them, you will not only get various rewards, but if you are lucky you will also get plot points. Although not much, they are stable and generally not very dangerous.
Theoretically, any hero player can take on this kind of quest, but since it is a kingdom quest, as a prince, you will definitely be the first to get it. After the quest comes out, the princes will pick it up first, and the rest will be put out there waiting for the warriors to come.
In addition, you can only take one of these tasks per week, and you have to wait until next week after completing it, so you must choose carefully. Murphy immediately looked at it carefully.
Mission 1: Hunt Storm Giants. The Storm Giants on Horus Peak have always been the great enemy of the Kingdom of Alterac. Attack those Storm Giants, kill at least three Storm Giants, and return to report to the king.
Mission 2: Escort the Caravan. A caravan is about to set off for the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Considering the threats they will encounter along the way, the leader of the caravan hopes that the king will send warriors to escort them to the Kingdom of Lordaeron.
Mission 3: Eliminate the bandits. A large number of bandits have recently gathered in Alterac and must be eliminated. Marshal Alterac hopes that loyal and brave men will lead the troops to eliminate them and destroy at least three bandit strongholds.
Mission 4: Capture the wanted criminal. A vicious fugitive has killed someone and fled into the mountains of Broken Ridge. He must be brought to justice...
Mission 5: Train Soldiers. The Alterac army is now short of manpower, and the Alterac Marshal hopes someone can train ten Alterac recruits into Alterac Sword and Shield Soldiers.
Mission 6: Find the kidnapped girl. A girl was kidnapped by a snowman in the mountains. She must be rescued as soon as possible, otherwise she might be eaten by the snowman.
Mission 7: Investigate the cultists. …
There were more than twenty such tasks, and before Murphy could take a closer look, the princes had already squeezed over.
"Father, I am willing to help you train the new soldiers."
"Very good, then this task will be handed over to you."
"Father, I am willing to escort the caravan."
"Yeah, sure, go ahead."
"Father, I am willing to capture the wanted criminal..."
"Okay, okay." The king didn't waste any words. Every time someone signed up, he cleared one task from the task list. The princes signed up enthusiastically and almost fought to grab the good tasks. The intensity of their fight was like that of temporary workers looking for work in the labor market.
Before Murphy could even think of stopping, most of the tasks on the list had been taken, leaving only a few obviously unpopular tasks hanging on the list.
Mission 1: Hunt Storm Giants. The Storm Giants on Horus Peak have always been the great enemy of the Kingdom of Alterac. Attack those Storm Giants, kill at least three Storm Giants, and return to report to the king.
Mission 2: Expel the Ice Elemental Lord. An Ice Elemental Lord from the Elemental Plane is wreaking havoc in the White Frost Mountains. Banish it back to the Elemental Plane to prevent it from summoning more elemental creatures.
Mission 3: Hunt the Black Dragon. A wandering black dragon is wreaking havoc in the area around Longhou Peak, and the local residents hope that the king can send warriors to drive it away or kill it.
Damn, what kind of hellish quest is this? Murphy was speechless. Storm Giants are at least level 60. They are powerful monsters that can fight against dragons, and they live in groups.
Not to mention the Ice Elemental Lord. The weakest one is at least a terrifying first-level BOSS. Moreover, in this game, most of the leaders with the word "Lord" will be surrounded by a group of younger brothers, which makes them definitely not easy to deal with.
In comparison, the task of hunting black dragons is more or less feasible. Adult dragons usually have their own dragon lairs, and young dragons usually follow adult dragons, so the black dragons wandering around are usually young dragons. As long as we recruit more adventurers, we can be sure to solve the problem.
The key is that Murphy is too familiar with creatures like the black dragon, and he knows the black dragon's fighting style like the back of his hand. If they really fight, he will not be at a disadvantage even if he challenges a higher-level dragon.
But I'm only level one, so slaying a dragon is too exaggerated.
But I thought that if I didn't accept it, I would have to wait until next week. I only have a week anyway, so at most I could level up a dozen or twenty times.
Thinking of this, Murphy decisively chose Task 3.
"Father, I am willing to share your worries and kill the evil black dragon that is causing trouble in this place."
As soon as these words came out, the princes all looked at him with gloating eyes.
King Aiden was also a little surprised: "Aidan, my child, are you really going to do this? That black dragon is very ferocious, why don't you reconsider it?"
Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "No need. A mere black dragon is nothing. I will kill it and bring its head back to hang on the gate of Alterac. Let the world know how powerful our Highland Warriors are!"
"Hahaha, good, you are worthy of being my son. Go ahead, I will wait for your victorious return. Today's meeting ends here, sons, for Alterac!"
"For Alterac!" Everyone shouted in unison, and the next second, they all ran out of the meeting room.
Damn, what’s going on?
Murphy was stunned, but this time his reaction was not slow at all. With his experience of accepting missions before, he knew that there must be something that needed to be snatched again.
Just follow the crowd and rush outside.
I saw more than thirty princes, just like students going to the cafeteria for lunch after school at noon, running as fast as they could, fearing that they would be left behind.
"Dalabangba, bro, what's going on?"
Murphy asked a brother in front of him while running.
"What are you talking about? The barracks are being refreshed today, everyone is going to grab the high-level soldiers!"
As he spoke, he rushed forward.
Senior soldier? Murphy immediately understood what was going on.
Every city in every kingdom has its own garrison. Of course, when a prince goes out to do business, he cannot act alone. He can dispatch soldiers from the garrison to serve as his subordinates.
Soldiers also have levels and ranks, from the lowest-level militia and conscripts, to the regular army that constitutes the main force of the national army, to the top-level various knights, and even extraordinary soldiers.
The combat effectiveness of soldiers of different levels must vary greatly. Generally speaking, the higher the level of the soldiers, the fewer there are. If there are only one or two princes in a kingdom who need guards, it's not a big deal, but now there are more than 30 princes who need to go out to do business, and there may not be enough high-level soldiers.
As the saying goes, the quick hand gets the reward, so what else can you do but grab it?
Thinking of this, he started running as fast as he could.
However, he soon found that it was useless. Among the more than 30 princes, he was the lowest in level and naturally had the lowest agility. He also had no acceleration skills. How could he possibly outrun these cheap brothers? Seeing that he was falling further and further behind, Mo Fei sighed and simply stopped running. He slowly followed the team to the military camp.
It was as lively here as a cafeteria. The princes completely surrounded the commander of the garrison, shouting at the top of their lungs, demanding that their men be assigned to them.
Darkseid (Prince of Alterac): "I need eight Knights of the North Wind, now, immediately! Any more Snow Mountain Rangers? Okay, give me six."
Darabongba (Prince of Alterac): "Give me four Highland Warriors and eight Alterac Ranger Archers!"
Zhuagenbao (Prince of Alterac): "What? I don't have enough leadership to lead the Knights of the North Wind? Shit, then replace them all with the Knights of Alterac!"
Earl Adalion (Lord of Castle Ambition): "Get out of my way, you crazy princes. I was here first! I have urgent military business!"
Demacia (Prince of Alterac): Get lost, I am a prince, let your sister give way, if you don’t obey, let my brothers beat you together. "
Mr. Ma (Prince of Alterac): "Give me ten Kingdom Crossbowmen! And a few Shield Warriors. If you don't have Shield Warriors, Light Foot is fine."
Victor (Prince of Alterac): "I want the Knights of the North Wind, too. The more the better. What? The Knights of the North Wind are gone again? Damn, what kind of crappy barracks are you? You didn't have any left for me last week."
