Little Lord's Dark Castle

Chapter 117 Appointment, Watchtower 44

"Is the Beiguan Fortress ahead?"

When the sun began to slant to the west, a majestic fortress appeared on the horizon of Chu Xin's vision. Referring to the game map, he quickly confirmed that this was the destination of his trip, Beiguan Fortress.

At this moment, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and he never expected that it would take him nearly half a day for the distance that does not look too far on the merit badge.

Of course, this was also because he was not too anxious all the way. If he needed to march quickly, he could stuff the slowest combat dwarves into the army tent and move forward rapidly.

Chu Xin stopped the horse and stared at the number one fortress of the empire lying on the ground like a giant beast, feeling shocked inexplicably.

This kind of war fortress is completely different from any city he has seen in the past. Everything on it is built for war. The cliff-like city walls, dense arrow towers, and mage towers give people an almost suffocating depression. sense.

The most shocking thing is that in the center of the fortress stands a huge tower with a height of [-] meters.Some people say that this is a large-scale war weapon developed and manufactured by the empire with all the power of the whole country. It can instantly flatten a mountain. Others say that this is a giant magic defense tower imported from goblins, which can resist eight-star magic.

But few people have seen it activated, perhaps only those very old veterans in the fortress have seen its majesty.

On both sides of the fortress, there are rugged mountains and dangers. Outside is a hilly area full of ravines, and inside is a fertile plain.

Therefore, the fortress here is also the throat of the northern border of the empire. If any enemy wants to enter the Emerald Empire from the north, the Beiguan Fortress is the first gate that must be crossed.

Of course, there are also those who have tried detours, but what they have to face are various problems such as the group of alien beasts in the mountains, difficult supplies, and enemies.Therefore, the last barbarian tribe to do this has been completely cool.

Because of the importance of this fortress, the Panyue Legion, one of the four major armies of the empire, is stationed here all year round.

At the same time, because of the terrain, the territory actually controlled by the empire ended at this Beiguan Fortress.But such a great land, the empire will not turn a blind eye. Since the unification of the Emerald Empire, there have been many newly-appointed nobles, and their territories have been given outside the Beiguan Fortress.

Although this area is inaccessible, there are a lot of resources such as exotic animals, wood, minerals, etc. Compared with the dark land, the risk is much less, so many nobles squeeze their heads here.

It's a pity that bad luck happened recently, and it just happened to encounter this strange invasion of abyssal demons. I don't know how many territories were slaughtered by these abyssal demons.

Now Beiguan Fortress has become the base camp for the entire empire to fight against the demons of the abyss, and all the imperial troops and lord troops who received orders gathered here from all directions.

There are many camps densely scattered outside the fortress. In addition to the obvious Emerald Empire flag on the inside, there are also many flags printed with the emblems of different territories scattered on the outside.

This is the lord who came to report from various places today. Because it is getting late, he can rest and prepare for the night, and wait until tomorrow to go to the frontal battlefield outside the fortress.

Different styles of barracks tents and soldiers of all races made this place extremely lively.

In comparison, most of the lords' armies are more uniform, at least in terms of race, there are few like Chu Xin, where seven or eight different races are mixed together.

"This place, set fire to it, tsk tsk!" Looking at the tents that stretched for tens of miles, Chu Xin inexplicably remembered the fire from the Battle of Changsha.

Having experienced many fire attacks, he always felt an inexplicable impulse when he saw this kind of dense camp.

However, it is located behind the Beiguan Fortress, and generally speaking, it will not be attacked, so there is no big problem with this arrangement.

While thinking wildly, Chu Xin's team was getting closer and closer to the tent.

His arrival immediately attracted the attention of the lords stationed on the periphery, and there was a lot of discussion.

"Which dilapidated lord is this who came out of the corner? This team is too perfunctory. Is it just a bunch of mobs?"

"You see, there are goblins in his team. This kind of cowardly race will rebel in minutes on the battlefield."

"You read it wrong, they are gray goblins, a race far worse than goblins."

"Aren't they all the same?"

"Haha, did you see that there are some who don't forget to bring female slaves with them when they go to the battlefield. They are here to fight or to enjoy themselves."

……

With the improvement of strength, Chu Xin's perception has become much stronger now, and he can hear these people's whispers very clearly.

Chu Xin decisively ignored the words of these lords, and ordered the team to find a place to set up camp outside, while he himself took Friday and Ding Xiu to report to the interior, and Rosa was in charge of managing the rest of the team. .

However, after walking a few steps inside, Chu Xin felt a headache, surrounded by tents in a mess, and didn't know which way to go.

"It's unreasonable. Doesn't anyone come to receive him? Just make people bump into each other like this?" Chu Xin muttered speechlessly.

He looked up and looked at the top of his head. Fortunately, the flag of the Emerald Empire was standing there. Along the direction of the flag, Chu Xin fumbled inside in a mess.

After groping around in the tent for more than ten minutes, finally, an open space of more than ten meters appeared in front of Chu Xin. He saw a relatively neat camp, and there were still people guarding the outside.

He glanced at the position of the flag, and roughly judged that this should be the emerald empire's military camp.

Sure enough, there is still a difference between the regular imperial troops and those chaotic lords. He wandered around in those camps for more than ten minutes, but no one paid attention to them.

"The barracks is an important place, no entry!" The two guards in front of the barracks noticed that Chu Xin was trying to approach, crossed the spears in their hands, and said in unison.

"Brothers, I'm the lord who just arrived here, and I'm about to come over to report." Chu Xin stopped and freed his hands to show no hostility.

The guard on the left asked suspiciously, "Report? Where's your guide?"

???

Guide?
Chu Xin was a little dazed. Is there someone here to guide you, but why has he been here for so long and no one has paid attention to him?
Could it be that he doesn't have enough cards?
"Wait a minute, I'll go in and report." Seeing Chu Xin's expression, the guard immediately understood, said something, called someone to change the guard, and went inside.

After a while, he returned.

"Lord, please let me check your merit token. If it is confirmed to be correct, I will take you in to report."

"Ok."

Chu Xin handed over his token of meritorious service, and since entering the camp, this token has become his identity authentication, and many process links need to be checked.If this thing is lost, it will be a big trouble.

After only one glance, after confirming the authenticity of the token of meritorious service, the guard handed it back to Chu Xin and said, "Come with me, but you two followers have to stay outside, and you are only allowed to go in by yourself. "

"Okay, you guys wait for me outside for a while." Chu Xin ordered, and he followed the guards around for a while, and soon came to a huge tent with red silk on the top.

After entering the camp, you can see that there are many people busy inside, as if sorting out some information.

Chu Xin and the guards didn't bother these people, and went straight in, until they reached the desk of a busy female officer at the innermost side.

Sensing the arrival of the two, the female officer stopped what she was doing, raised her head, adjusted her glasses, and looked at the two of them.

"Your Excellency Tanya, this lord is here to report." The guard pointed to Chu Xin and said.

"Okay, you go down first!" Tanya nodded, indicating that the guards could leave, then she raised her hand and said, "Sit."

Chu Xin took the opportunity to sit down on the chair in front of the table. Before he could sit still, Tanya asked, "Name?"

"Ah?" Chu Xin didn't realize it, shouldn't she ask the lord's number?

"Rollin."

"Oh? Is it a child of Abraham's family?" Tanya's tone was warmer invisibly.

"No, it belongs to the Aldo family." Chu Xin also realized at this time that he should have said his full name just now, but he is still not used to such a long name, and he is still used to a more concise name.

"Well, give me the lord's merit token." Tanya resumed her formulaic tone.

Through the lord's merit token, she can check the identity mark in it, so as to have a simple judgment on the specific strength of the lord, and then assign them to the reinforcement front.

As Tanya gradually checked, Chu Xin could clearly feel the wrinkles on her brows deepening, and the air seemed to be a little bit colder.

The strength of the arms is weak and miscellaneous. They are all cannon fodder arms, and there are too many foreign races, so they are not suitable for unified command.

Coincidentally, several watchtowers on the outskirts were still in a semi-idle state, and they urged several times to arrange personnel to go there for reinforcements, otherwise the demon army would not know if they came over without a sound.

Sentinel is a very dangerous position. It needs to be stationed at some important points on the periphery of Beiguan Fortress, away from the army.Once the abyssal demons start a large-scale attack, if you are lucky, you may be taken over. If you are unlucky, you may be the first to suffer.

She can directly assign this kind of junior lord. Tanya quickly made a decision in her heart, and began to act quickly in her hands, and began to add new mission objectives to Chu Xin's meritorious token.

"Okay, report to the corresponding place tomorrow according to the instructions on the token." Tanya handed back the token without saying a word, and resumed her working state.

Chu Xin took the token and thanked her. For some reason, she always felt that there was something wrong with the way the female officer looked at her at the end.

There are always bad people trying to harm me!
Not in a hurry to read the content on the token, Chu Xin left the camp. The guard was still waiting outside, and led him through for a while, leaving the Jade Empire's military camp.

"Let's go, go back!" Chu Xin greeted the two people who were already a little too busy outside, and at the same time opened the token of meritorious service, and checked the content on it.

"Please report to Watchtower 44 before noon tomorrow."

There was only a short sentence on the merit token, and the location of Watchtower No. 44 was marked on it. Chu Xin took a look and found that the location was outside the Beiguan Fortress.

At the same time, he also noticed that the meritorious service that had been marked as zero at the top right of the token had finally changed to 100 points.

For these lords who came to help, as long as they arrived at Beiguan Fortress, they would be awarded part of the meritorious service according to the time of arrival.The one who arrived on the first day was 1000 points, and every day there would be a certain degree of reduction. As for the last day, it was deducted to 100 points.

Don't underestimate the 100 points of meritorious deeds, this is already worth a three-star trophy. If it is sold, it will be worth at least 100 gold coins.

Of course, no one will sell, and no one dares to buy. This kind of behavior of buying and selling meritorious deeds is not allowed.If he is caught, it will be trivial to clear his achievements, and he might be deprived of his status as a lord directly.

In addition to this direct reward, meritorious service can also be obtained by killing demons.At the same time, many camps have officials who are responsible for awarding meritorious service. If you complete corresponding tasks, such as reconnaissance, sabotage, beheading and other specific tasks, you can also obtain additional meritorious service.

"Reminder, the battlefield mission has been released. Please go to watchtower 44 to serve as a guard before noon tomorrow. Task requirements: Before encountering the demon army, station at watchtower 44 to observe the enemy's situation and snipe the enemy's small-scale reconnaissance troops."

The battlefield mission of Black Castle also changed with the content of the merit token. Chu Xin frowned, and he roughly guessed what kind of job he got.

This position may be a disaster for other lords, but for him, it is a good job.

First of all, the restraint ability is not as strong as on the frontal battlefield. If he encounters an unstoppable danger, as long as the information is delivered, no one will care about his escape.

Unlike the frontal battlefield, when you turn around, you will be covered with a confused army, he is too impressive.

Secondly, although the sentry post is very dangerous, he has iron scales around him, the danger prediction of the golden villain, and phantom bushes, blinding leaves and other life-saving props. The survival rate is much higher than that of the frontal battlefield.

On the frontal battlefield, the abyssal demons are not fools, they must pick persimmons to pick the soft ones, and the army of the lords must be the key target.He has a group of rookies with less than three stars. If they are unlucky, the demon warlock's large-scale fire spells will all lie on the ground.

Back in the camp, everyone was waiting for Chu Xin's return. After seeing his figure, they seemed to have found their backbone and regained their spirits.

"Come, come, let's set up these tents." Chu Xin distributed the simple tents in his hands, which he bought with gold coins on the way back.

20 gold coins, but only bought 10 tents. You must know that this kind of simple tent can usually win so many with 2 gold coins.

No way, in Chu Xin's plan, he planned to make animal skin tents, but that hurricane blew away all the strange beasts outside, and he didn't know where they went, which made his plan follow suit. It ran aground.

Right now, we can't let so many people just eat and drink like this. Skeletons and ghost wolves are fine, and other arms still need to be taken care of.

After the camp was set up, Chu Xin entered the tent and manipulated the little golden man to go out. He wanted to find out in advance where his No. 44 watchtower was located.

Hearing this name, I always feel that something is not quite right.
