Reincarnation Paradise: Start with an original sin object

Chapter 48 Secret Mission

"Second, accept the empire's secret mission. After the mission is completed, I will appoint you as the captain of ten thousand men, with a status only below me and the two deputy commanders."

"If the mission performs well, our 29th Army Corps will have an additional deputy commander."

The legion commander relaxed his body and leaned on the back of the chair made of vines, waiting for Xinghan's choice.

[You have triggered a hidden mission: the Legion Commander’s secret commission. Do you want to accept it? 】

Hidden Mission: The Legion Commander’s Secret Commission

Difficulty level: Lv. 12.

Mission introduction: The key to conquering the Manila Fortress.

Mission information: Receive the mission from the legion commander and assist the legion commander in capturing the Manila Fortress.

Task period: 5 calendar days.

Mission reward: 3 attribute points, "Soul Crystal·Small" × 5, senior military rank (Captain of Ten Thousands and above).

Mission penalty: Unable to obtain military rank within 25 natural days, all attributes -5.

……

"I choose the latter."

Xinghan's tone was calm.

"it is good!"

The legion commander laughed.

For Xinghan, attribute points were secondary. "Soul Crystal Small" and the rank of Captain of Ten Thousands were what he needed most at the moment.

Of course, risks are directly proportional to returns, and Xinghan is waiting for the next step from the legion commander.

"First, you have to sign this."

The legion commander took out a piece of golden paper from his arms.

Seeing this piece of paper, Xinghan took half a step back. He once again recalled the image of the boss with blood-red eyes handing him a piece of more than thirty layers of parchment.

But he quickly realized that the legion commander was not a contractor of Samsara Paradise and could not take the initiative to sign a contract with the paradise.

Xinghan stepped forward and took the golden paper.

"This is an oath contract, one of the great inventions of His Majesty the Great Elf King."

Talking about the Elf King, the legion commander's eyes revealed a fanaticism that was inconsistent with his image. At this moment, the legion commander didn't look like a battle-hardened general, but like a fanatical believer.

"Speak the oath and shed blood. You will not be able to betray the 10th Legion within 29 days, otherwise you will feel endless pain."

"In contrast, you will receive the blessing of the Elf King."

Without any hesitation, Xinghan bit his finger and pressed it on the golden paper.

"I will do my best to complete the secret mission."

He had accepted the mission of the Reincarnation Paradise, and the cooldown time of the "Eye of Hate" had expired. He explored the information on the golden paper, and found that there were no traps or loopholes in it.

……

A dazzling golden light enveloped Xinghan.

The legion commander was very satisfied with Xinghan's performance. With a wave of his hand, countless vines gathered into a chair in front of the legion commander.

When the light dissipated, the legion commander motioned for Xinghan to sit opposite him.

Xinghan felt the "Elf King's Blessing". He felt that his physical activity had increased a lot, and his mental fatigue from using the "Dark Emperor Blade" was slightly relieved.

He sat down opposite the legion commander as instructed, waiting for the legion commander's arrangements. "I need you to lead a small team and sneak into the Manila Fortress."

The legion commander's words were astonishing.

Although Xinghan had already expected that the mission would be extremely difficult, he did not expect that the content of the mission would be so exciting.

He had already begun to think about whether he had inadvertently offended the legion commander and made the other party want to kill him without anyone noticing.

But if the dignified legion commander wanted to kill a lowly soldier like him, he obviously didn't need to go to such great lengths, so he looked calm and waited for the legion commander's next words.

Seeing Xinghan being so calm, the legion commander nodded slightly and continued: "We have a secret agent in the Manila Fortress, but we have never found a candidate worthy of me to activate the secret agent."

The legion commander changed the subject: "Xinghan, do you know why the Manila Fortress is so difficult to break?"

Xinghan shook his head to express his ignorance, and showed curiosity at the right time.

"That's because the Manila Fortress itself is alive!"

Xinghan's eyes widened. A huge fortress turned out to be a living creature, which was obviously beyond his knowledge.

The legion commander's next words surprised Xinghan even more.

"You young elves don't know that the Manila Fortress, formerly known as the Ancient Tree Fortress, originally belonged to the Elf Empire and was the storage body of the "Holy Tree Spirit", one of the three guardian spirits of the Elf Empire. "

"That is a holy land run by the Ancient Tree Tribe for generations. Countless Ancient Tree Tribe ancestors took the initiative to integrate into the fortress before death, making the fortress stronger and stronger."

"Back then, the orcs were too powerful and used evil rituals to kill the "Holy Tree Spirit" and used unknown means to seize control of the Ancient Tree Fortress. "

Xinghan's eyes showed a look of astonishment, with such hatred, no wonder those ancient tree clan shield soldiers were so fierce and not afraid of death.

He saw many ancient trees on the front line with more than 80% of their roots broken, and green juice flowing all over the ground, still firmly holding against the shield in their hands.

"Although we don't know how the other party controls the Ancient Tree Fortress, several of the fortress' abilities still exist."

"For example, self-repair ability, this is one of the important reasons why we have been unable to attack for a long time."

"For another example, the fortress can monitor the power fluctuations of strong people above a certain limit, so we cannot send too powerful beings into the fortress."

"And those who are too weak will not be able to play a key role even if they enter."

"I have been worrying about how to activate that secret agent until you appeared."

The legion commander's eyes were burning.

"Your ability to summon the undead is unique among the summoning systems I have seen. I will equip you with one or two assistants. What are your requirements in this regard?"

Xinghan thought for a while and took out the remaining soul crystal from his arms.

"One auxiliary person is enough, and it is best to be able to restore the body's energy and heal."

"The most important thing is this item." Xinghan handed over the remnants of the soul crystal.

"My secret technique must consume this kind of crystal as a medium. There is only one crystal passed down from my ancestors. I was eager to kill the enemy just now, but now I only have this last bit left..."

The legion commander picked up the remnants of the soul crystal with two fingers and held it in front of his eyes for a closer look.

"This is...a soul stone? Such a precious thing..."

Xing Han is certain that the top strength in the second-level world must produce soul crystals, but they are relatively rare.

Seeing the legion commander's hesitation, Xinghan stood up and said, "Without the soul stone, I am really unable to complete the mission of legion commander. Please hire someone else."

After saying that, he bowed slightly and waited for the legion commander's decision.

The legion commander was a little entangled in his heart. There was no doubt that the Soul Stone was precious, but it was obviously more important to capture the Manila Fortress.

He does have a soul stone in his hand, but that soul stone is his personal collection, not war supplies.

Moreover, Xinghan consumed such a precious soul stone because of his "eagerness to kill the enemy". As a legion commander, is he not as enlightened as a lowly soldier?

Thinking of this, the legion commander gritted his teeth, took out a crystal clear soul stone from his arms and handed it to Xinghan.

[You have obtained the soul crystal·medium]
