Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 15 Inauguration 3
Zhang Cheng obviously didn't know what was going on behind it. He made a big gift to express his gratitude.

"Doctor Kunwu wants to attack Huaiyi," Huang Gong said.

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, but then he understood the meaning of the other party's words. "Please make sure to let me help." It would be too ungrateful and ignorant to say that someone needs you and doesn't take the initiative to help.

Dr. Kunwu took the initiative to attack... Could it be that the big task of the refugee camp is coming?
Zhang Cheng remembered very clearly that the combat missions in the refugee camp were divided into two types. The first was to clear the small dangers outside, and the second was this big mission, or a super long series of missions.The army in the camp will take the initiative.Players can choose to follow the army in action, or they can choose to stay and wait.But if you want to earn enough experience and money in the first act to develop yourself from a ragged, low-level character to a level with decent gear and level, this task is a must.There are a few missions in particular, and the rewards are pretty good at this level.

This time, Duke Huang really sighed slightly, then helped Zhang Cheng up, and sent him out the door after a few words.After he left, he returned to the center of the room and picked up a long, inconspicuous black object from the shelf.

Others may not understand, but Huang Gong knows very well that this is Xuan Gui, a rare treasure even in ancient times.In the past, when Yu pacified Kyushu, the reward he got was just a piece of Xuan Gui (of course it should be better than this piece).It can even be said that a large part of the Kunwu clan's heritage for more than a thousand years is reflected in this thing.

He chanted a few incantations softly, and a colorful cloud of smoke appeared above Xuan Gui, condensing an image.

"Huang Gong," is a young face in the image, "do you have news?"

"Where's Doctor Kunwu?"

"He's not here." Huang Gong heard the other party's laughter. "However, he gave this authority to me. How about that Zhang Cheng, have you already understood him?"

Huang Gong shook his head. "Move", he called out the other party's name. "I am under the order of Dr. Kunwu to report. You are not Dr. Kunwu."

The young man's face twisted a little, but it was hard to tell whether it was a change in expression or the instability of the cloud itself. "Huang Gong," Qian said. "I was ordered by Dr. Kunwu to accept this report. You know, I am his chosen heir!"

"Maybe yes, but you're not yet Dr. Kunwu, and he hasn't publicly acknowledged you. You can't replace him..."

"Huang Gong!" Qian roared. "Do you want to disobey my orders? You need to know what the consequences are!"

Huang Gong hesitated for a while, he knew very well that the other party was demonstrating against him.Indeed, according to the normal development, Qian will become the next Dr. Kunwu.And he will become the opponent's vassal.As a lord, Qian has the ability to take back his position and Lutian, and exile him.After all, he is not alone, but also has family members.What's the point of fighting the next Dr. Kunwu over such a trivial matter?

"Young Master Zhang Cheng," Duke Huang finally said, "I'm afraid I didn't learn much in Piyong," he said. "Probably just a glimpse of the door. But I'm not sure..."

He saw Qian and laughed. "Okay, I'll tell Dr. Kunwu." Qian said with satisfaction. "How about the conquest of Huaiyi?"

"Young Master Zhang Cheng has taken the initiative to ask Ying." Huang Gong said.

"Well, that's easy. Dr. Kunwu has already told me that he decided to make Zhang the two commanders, lead the three chariots, and attack the Huaiyi with a hundred soldiers!" Qian showed a very proud smile. "Of course, wait for us to come back first."

"How's the war going? Where's Doctor Kunwu?"

"Quinrong is indeed entrenched in the Haojing area, and only a small number of people have fled here." Qian said. "The larger one has three strands. We've killed one of them, and we are chasing the second strand. Dr. Kunwu was injured by a spell from Quan Rong, and he is now healing himself. He will recover in about an hour. .It will take five days to come back."

"But, in that case... Master Zhang Cheng's crusade against Huai Yi only has more than ten days?" Huang Gong was stunned when he heard this.With such a small amount of troops, Zhang Cheng's own strength is very weak.Originally, victory could only be achieved by effectively commanding the army and cannibalizing, but now the time has been reduced... Even he can't imagine how to fight.

But if it fails, even if the task is not completed within the specified time, Zhang Cheng will have no chance.

He sighed.However, compared to the Huai Yi, the outposts of the Quan Rong were a bigger threat and had to be eliminated first.So neither Dr. Kunwu nor Qian did anything wrong.It can only be said that due to the situation, Zhang Cheng has no chance.

He gently stroked Xuan Gui again, and the cloud of smoke quickly dissipated.Then, he sighed.A virtuous person has no talent, a talented person has no virtue, and a person with both ability and political integrity is too rare. Could it be that this is God's will?
"Report!" someone suddenly shouted outside.Huang Gong was stunned for a moment, but saw a pawn running over from outside.

"Report to Duke Huang," the man said. "The scouts found that there are dogs and soldiers outside the camp!"

What?Wait...it's okay, it can't be the Inu Rong army.The elite of Dr. Kunwu is ahead, and the situation there is very good, so there is no need to worry.Is it a small number of stragglers or scouts from the Quan Rong?

"Let the soldiers guard the camp, inform Xin, and let him be on guard." Huang Gong thought for a while and replied.Turning his head, he saw that the other party's expression was a bit strange.

"what happened?"

"That...I saw Young Master Zhang Cheng just now..."

"How did he say?"

"He said, just leave everything to him!" The soldier didn't dare to hide it, and directly told what happened just now.

"Naughty!" Even a fool knows that Inu Rong has an advantage in the night.Even if the only ones who come here are stragglers or scouts from Quan Rong, it is definitely not good to go out to fight at night.Because people's senses are much stronger than human beings.Anyway, this kind of wandering soldiers can't pose a threat to the camp, just stay in a safe camp.On the contrary, if you go out to fight, the possibility of suffering a loss is too high.

In particular, Huang Gong was very sure just now that Zhang Cheng's personal ability is really not worth mentioning.

As Zhang Cheng walked out, he looked at the task of "Destroy the Gnoll Scouts" that appeared on his panel.The description of the task is the same as the introduction: "You have learned that there are a few gnolls outside the refugee camp, destroy them." However, there are a lot of question marks written on the reward.

Zhang Cheng is very familiar with this task.This is a rare easy task in combat missions.As mentioned earlier, the first act, the refugee camp, has two tasks.The first is a non-combat mission, which, to put it bluntly, is to run errands and the like in exchange for money and experience.The second is a combat mission, which requires going out and fighting various enemies.As with most games of this type, combat is risky.After all, even if your level is higher than the enemy, and the equipment is better than the enemy, you may not necessarily win.Because if the other party suddenly comes with a personal outburst, two critical hits will directly kill you.

But this quest against gnoll scouts is a rare exception.Not only that, but the rewards for this task are very generous.The only trouble is that such a good task is not guaranteed.In Zhang Cheng's memory, there is about a half chance of not encountering this task.

I didn't expect to meet this time...you can't miss it!
Thinking of this, he quickened his pace.Xin said to let him pass midnight... Unfortunately, he didn't know what the concept of "midnight" was.It's about time now, right?
As he expected, Xin was waiting for him.Seeing how he was wearing magic armor and a long sword, Xin seemed a little surprised, but then he was relieved.

He took Zhang Cheng to the cellar, or in other words, the basement of his residence.

There is an altar made of wood in the middle of the basement, on which is a wooden statue that Zhang Cheng is completely unfamiliar with.

Xin asked Zhang Cheng to stand aside and prayed loudly to the altar.Zhang Cheng unexpectedly found that the other party's prayer language was completely incomprehensible.Well, his portable translator seems to have failed for this language.But at this moment, Zhang Cheng had no intention of paying attention to this trivial matter, because the scene in front of him attracted all his attention.

With Xin's words, the air in the entire basement shook.It's not humans talking, but some kind of machine that makes a "humming" vibration similar to the one on Earth.The vibration penetrated through the skin to the whole body, making the body numb and itchy.The air seemed to have turned into a paste, and the stickiness trapped people in place.Just when Zhang Cheng was surprised by this wonderful ceremony, he saw a black figure appear above the altar.

The figure's feet didn't step on the ground, but just suspended in the air completely unreasonable.

The figure has a human shape as a whole, like a person wearing a cloak that covers the whole body, and then hides his face in the shadow of the hood.After all, the light in the basement is poor, and only a torch provides light in the distance, so some details are difficult to see.In short, if you want to describe what that is, it can only be said that it is not an entity at all, but some kind of projection or illusion.

But suddenly, the phantom opened his eyes and looked towards Zhang Cheng.

Although from an objective standpoint, we can say that Zhang Cheng's eyesight is simply not enough to see the details of "the dark shadow opens his eyes" in this dim light.However, it was inexplicable and irresistible, and he felt it so clearly.

It was a cold and ruthless gaze, a condescending king, an irresistible natural rule, and some kind of beast staring at its prey.That gaze aroused fear hidden deep in the primordial instincts of creatures, and it was not just human beings, but the first fear that creatures—as long as they were living things—had: the fear of death.

That existence is death.

Even if it is just a trivial phantom avatar, even if it is just a random gaze cast by a trivial phantom avatar, it still has the ability to make people stiff, legs are weak, throat is dry, and hands are uncontrollable.

Xin knelt down in front of the altar, kowtowed again and again, and said a few words at a brisk pace.His speech was so fast that Zhang Cheng couldn't hear it clearly.

In front of the phantom, a shimmering sphere appeared.The sphere floated over like this, submerging into Zhang Cheng's body.

The phantom disappeared.The pressure that was everywhere just now disappeared instantly, and Zhang Cheng found that his legs were so soft that he couldn't support his body, and he sat down on the ground.

Some information that he didn't know before suddenly appeared in his mind.

Unlike the previous "translator" effect, the information that suddenly broke into his mind was much more crude.The effect of the translator is very soft, and there is even an illusion of "I don't know why I suddenly know", and this time it was like someone was beating gongs and drums in his ear, telling him something naked and letting him Understand what happened to the dead man.

"Si Ming..."

This is the name of the god who appeared just now.

Zhang Cheng has always felt that as a traveler, it is best not to deal with God.That's why he didn't think about the priesthood.But this time it came too suddenly.He now understands why the dead can be immortal for a short period of time. This is actually the effect of divine protection and the privilege given by the commander.Of course, there is no free lunch in the world, and as a price, Zhang Cheng must repay the gods by killing: every time he uses this privilege, he must kill a creature equal to or even higher than himself as a reward.

Zhang Cheng closed his eyes, and saw that he had added a "endurance to death" specialty in his specialty column.Although the name is different from the game, the effect is exactly the same.In other words, if the damage Zhang Cheng suffered reached the level of death, this ability would be temporarily activated and last for about 5 minutes.

That is about 5 minutes of invincibility.Of course, it is not appropriate to call it "invincible". More specifically, it is "undead" for about 5 minutes.Just won't die.In other words, he could just cut off his limbs and let him wait to die.

But that's perverted enough.After all, the ability of the dead man is basically the same as that of an ordinary soldier, and there is no special price to pay.This is different from the swordsman. The price of high damage, high hit and high crit in melee combat is the disadvantage of wearing armor, shields and long-range weapons.

He closed his eyes and summoned the panel.Sure enough, the question mark on "Warrior" has disappeared.His current occupation is a first-level corpse and a first-level mage.

"Why are the dead soldiers being feared by Houtu? Is it because of Si Ming?" Zhang Cheng couldn't help but ask.

"Young Master Zhang Cheng." Xin replied from the side. "Now you understand, I'm from Chu. My surname is actually Mi, from the Qu clan."

Xin thought that he had made what he said very clearly, but unfortunately this time, he really winked at the blind man, because Zhang Cheng didn't understand what it meant at all.
