Volume 2: The Road to Dragon Feast Chapter 96: Mission to Clear Out Bandits
The next day, Murphy came to the palace.
Today is the day when the weekly tasks are released, and Murphy is looking forward to it.
As he walked along, the palace guards saluted and greeted him one after another. Murphy nodded calmly. In just a week, he had already gotten used to his identity as the Prince of Alterac. Walking in this ancient palace, he even felt like he was back home.
Murphy could remain calm in the face of the guards' salutes and the nobles' greetings.
Walking through the corridor, when Murphy entered the conference room, the entire conference room was already full of people. Because there were too many people, there were not enough chairs. Those who came late could only squeeze out a seat on a bench. Dozens of people were chatting in a noisy manner, just like a vegetable market - it was really a familiar scene.
Murphy was well prepared this time. He took out a chair from his backpack, placed it next to the conference table, and sat down.
Darkseid: "Hey, isn't this Brother Thirty-Six? He's already level thirteen in just one week. You're leveling up pretty fast, right?"
Aidan: "Ah, it's Brother Twelve. It's okay. After all, we have the army to help us. This is already considered slow."
Dala Bangba: "Thirty-sixth brother, I heard that you accepted the mission to defeat the black dragon. How is it going? Did you encounter any danger?"
Aidan: "Brother Twenty-Five, there was definitely some danger, but luckily, with the help of the adventurers, we were able to win in the end."
Teacher Ma: "Oh my god, brother Thirty-Six is awesome. He actually won the Black Dragon mission. Wow, that mission has been pending for two months. By the way, who among you is interested in doing the Storm Giant mission? How about we form a team with a few more people and gather hundreds of troops? I don't believe that we can't defeat your group of Storm Giants."
Darkseid: "Sixth brother, it's easy for you to say, but who will take the mission and who will receive the reward?"
Everyone fell silent for a moment. Murphy was speechless when he saw this. It turned out that wherever there are people, there is a world of martial arts. This is not much different from the scheming bunch of guys in the Black Dragon Lord's Council.
After some greetings, King Aiden Perenolde finally walked into the meeting room.
Father! All the princes stood up and saluted at the same time. The noise was quite shocking. Murphy also stood up this time. Being more respectful might increase his favorability. Even if it didn't increase, at least it couldn't decrease.
"Well, everyone, please sit down. We are all family, there is no need to be so formal." The king waved his hand, and everyone sat down in a flash, and then they all looked at the king eagerly.
Murphy also had experience this time. He raised his butt slightly on the seat, waiting to be the first to grab the mission. This time he was determined to grab the mission to clear out the bandits, earn experience, improve favorability, and grab resources, killing three birds with one stone.
Aiden Perenolde (King of Alterac): "Ahem, the kingdom is busy these days. Monsters and bandits abound, and there are many other things that need to be dealt with. You are all princes of Alterac, sons of Aiden. 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.
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.
It seems that this task cannot be completed in the short term, and no prince has the courage to challenge the group of storm giants.
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.
This task seems to be available every week. It seems that commercial transactions are also an important part of the treasury income of the Kingdom of Alterac.
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...
Murphy didn't finish reading the mission. When he saw the mission to clear out the bandits, he immediately rushed forward.
He was fast, but there were people faster than him. The one in the front was obviously the agile prince, with two swords on his back, and he reached the king in a flash.
"Father, I am willing to defeat the Frost Troll Tribe and make those villains who dare to invade our territory pay the price in blood."
"Very good, then this task will be handed over to you."
"Father, I am willing to escort the caravan. My cavalry will definitely deliver the caravan to its destination safely."
"Yeah, sure, go ahead ."
"Father, I am willing to go and wipe out the bandits." Murphy also shouted loudly. This was not the time to be graceful.
"Okay, okay." The king didn't waste any words. Since someone had signed up, he would just give the task. Murphy got his task parchment and finally squeezed out from the crowd.
Not bad, the mission went smoothly.
"You accepted the mission to clear out the bandits?"
When Murphy looked up, he saw a somewhat unfamiliar prince.
Sigurd Perenolde (Prince of Alterac) Silver Rank 2. Level 37.
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"This kind of mission is not easy to do. It really tests your command ability and tactical application."
Murphy didn't think so. He had even killed a dragon before. They were just a bunch of bandits...
"It's not that serious, it's just a robber, it's not like I haven't beaten him before."
"You don't understand. It's easy to kill bandits in the wild, but to complete the task of clearing out bandits, you need to attack and destroy the bandit strongholds. Those bandit camps that set up a few tents and light a few bonfires in the wild to kill a few waves of bandits are not considered strongholds. They must at least be 'bandit fortresses' or 'bandit fortresses'.
This type of bandits usually defend themselves in dangerous places with fortifications, arrow towers and city gates. The bandits inside are also a small organized army with a boss leading them. They fight in an organized manner and are not comparable to those brainless monsters. It is even more troublesome to fight them than a boss.
It would be fine if you can use siege weapons, otherwise you can only rely on crowds, and you are only level 13, it is difficult to crush them by force, I am afraid it will be difficult. "
Mo Fei wondered if it was true or not, it was so exaggerated. He was slightly moved. This person must have a purpose for telling him so much.
"So what do you mean?"
"How about we work together? The mission I accepted is to capture a group of cultists. You help me capture the cultists, and I'll help you attack the bandit stronghold. There's strength in numbers."
Sieglet showed the task list in his hand. The task he accepted was to clear out the cultists in the kingdom. The difficulty of this task lies in finding the cultists' hidden lair. However, cultists are humanoid monsters that usually act in secret, and the game map is so large that it is extremely difficult to find them.
Murphy shook his head: "Well... I still prefer to do quests alone." He didn't really want to team up with others. Firstly, it would be troublesome to accommodate each other when doing quests in a team. Secondly, his main goal was to build a tavern for his village. His plan was to complete the task quickly in two or three days, and then go back to build it after plundering enough resources. Once the tavern was built and adventurers appeared, he would naturally start his construction plan. He would not have time to look for cultists.
Sieglet was not annoyed and smiled: "Okay, we are all brothers, there is no need to be embarrassed, but if you encounter any trouble, you can always come to me. Also, if you encounter cultists, can you tell me, I will be grateful."
Murphy thought that this man was quite polite. "No problem. I will let you know if I find any trace of the cultists."
The two added each other as friends. While they were talking, the king had already issued the mission. With a dismissal order, all the princes immediately dispersed and went out to grab soldiers.
Murphy ran and jogged, and finally managed to grab a middle position. He watched the princes in front of him lead away a group of senior soldiers. When he came in front of the garrison commander, he hurriedly reported the number of troops he wanted to dispatch.
