Reputation: Sentinel Corp (Neutral: 0/2000), Flying Snow City (Friendly: 0/5000)]

After a long time, the transmission was completed.

When Zhao Dingguo stepped out of the silver pillar of light, he found himself in the teleportation array of the Southern Outpost. Based on this, he speculated that when a BG user returned to the Warcraft Realm, he might appear in the nearest teleportation array closest to the last departure location, so as to avoid arousing the doubts of the indigenous people. As for what would happen if he departed in the wilderness, this still needed to be verified!

One week in the real world had passed, yet it looked no different from when he left.

“Welcome, honorable warrior!”

When Zhao Dingguo stepped out of the teleportation array, soldiers nearby saluted. One of the soldiers who saw him last time and had an impression of Zhao Dingguo, so he greeted him.

Zhao Dingguo nodded in response and then began to inquire about the latest situation in the outpost. After a few inquiries, he learned that Kael had completely annihilated the monsters of the Naga and Murloc tribe a few days ago, and led the team back to the World Tree.

“That said, is it safe for the time being?”

Zhao Dingguo thought out the plans and goals of this trip in his mind while asking.

The soldier grinned and knocked on the shield in his hand, and said, “Here is the Southern Wilderness, has it ever been safe?… Not to mention that the Naga has never calmed down. Even though an entire tribe was annihilated by Lord Kael, today they somehow have appeared again. Maybe they are the remaining who were lucky enough to escape from Lord Kael, or maybe they are new. Anyway, two brothers of us were killed and injured while patrolling! ”

Zhao Dingguo wanted to ask more questions, but at  that moment, he heard a griffin’s roar from over the horizon.

At first, it was just a black spot. Soon, that black spot quickly enlarged. Two minutes later, a human scout wearing leather armor maneuvered the griffin to land quickly. Without stopping, he jumped from the griffin neatly and shouted, “Fast, fast, gather at once! The second team encountered another group of Naga fifteen miles away from the outpost! Request for emergency reinforcements! ”

“What!?”

Some of the human infantry who were lazing around was anxious upon hearing this,  grabbing their weapons and armor, then quickly assembled. Several soldier chiefs were also running back and forth, and soon gathered a reinforcement team of nearly 400 people. The scout griffins also took off again, giving them directions in the sky.

From assembly to departure, these soldiers used less than five minutes!

Just when Zhao Dingguo  was  admiring their efficiency, the BG platform issued him a mission:

“Reputation Mission triggered: Emergency Reinforcements!”

“-The second team of soldiers in the Southern Outpost was besieged by Naga monsters. Please rush to the battlefield for rescue within ten minutes. For each surviving soldier, 10 magic gold coins are rewarded, and Sentinel Corp’s reputation increases by +10.

This is a mission with no penalty for failure!”

Zhao Dingguo currently only had two purposes in the Dota mainland. One was the Bloodline Mission, but this task still had a long way to go and could not be completed in a short time. The second was to increase the reputation of Sentinel Corp so that whatever he did in the future would be more convenient. And this urgent reinforcement was just the mission that Zhao Dingguo dreamed of getting!

" "

So he quickly accepted without hesitation.

For a normal person in the real world, it’s almost impossible to run fifteen miles in ten minutes. Even if he ran at a flying speed, when arrived he wouldn’t have any strength to join the battlefield and could only lie there to catch his breath. But Zhao Dingguo, who was a BG user,  possessed three times the attributes compared to ordinary humans. Now he could sprint faster than the Olympic Games 100 meters athletes!

Taking a step early might save another person!

The other soldiers obviously held the same idea, and hence their speed was not much slower than Zhao Dingguo.

Hurrying all the way, Zhao Dingguo finally approached the battlefield after eight minutes. From his position, shouts could already be heard.

According to the Southern Outpost’s rule, each team contained fifty soldiers. Due to the threats of the Murloc and Naga tribes in the previous days, the patrolling team expanded by an additional ten soldiers. However, when Zhao Dingguo arrived, there were only a dozen soldiers left among the original 60, and almost everyone was injured. A few stronger soldiers looked okay, but some of them were too weak to hold their swords and their armors were torn.

This was the result of them breaking through the siege, fighting all the way while retreating.

Behind these soldiers were hundreds of Naga monsters, led by two Naga Myrmidons with heavy iron anchors and green-skinned fishtails. Just as they entered Zhao Dingguo’s vision, an injured human soldier took a slow step and was caught by the Ensnare skill. The next moment, he disappeared into the Naga group with a scream!

Ten reputation points were gone!

Depressed; Zhao Dingguo wanted to join the fight immediately, but there were too many enemies. His strength alone could do nothing. In desperation, he could only run around and attack with some ice bombs, not even the charged ice cones.

“Brothers of the second team, stand up!”

The reinforcements from the outpost had finally arrived.

They coped with the retreating companions, and then attacked the Naga monsters. Immediately, the Naga monsters were drowned in a sea of attacks; on seeing this scenario, the two Naga Myrmidons leading the team knew that the table was turned and fled. Seeing the situation reverse, Zhao Dingguo also stopped and turned around.

Killing these invaders also provided reputation!

Although the amount varied, it was far less than the reputation obtained from rescuing soldiers. But it still delighted Zhao Dingguo, as the number of targets was large. Zhao Dingguo focused on the last hit, and in so doing, he had actually killed more than ten Naga, his reputation also increased by 35 points!

As a result of thirteen human soldiers who survived, Zhao Dingguo received a total of 130 magic gold coins and 165 reputation points!

It took no more than half an hour to complete this mission, and Zhao Dingguo considered it very profitable. However, thinking of the 2000 reputation needed to raise from Neutral to Friendly, he felt a headache. One mission only rewarded less than 200 points, didn’t it mean that he had to find a way to complete more than ten missions at least?

Not to mention whether other missions were as easy to do as this; how to trigger them alone would cause Zhao Dingguo’s head to ache.

However, the goddess of luck was obviously favoring Zhao Dingguo. Just as he returned to the outpost with the reinforcements, a teleportation door suddenly opened, and then four men rushed out of it. These people had mottled blood on them, but their facial expressions were very inspiring.

“Thunder Swamp is indeed a restricted area, and it really is not for ordinary people to enter!”

“It seems that Master Hai Tao and Master Jiu Shen are right. If you are not at the top of the Twilight rank, don’t even think to go in!”

“Anyway, we just need to make sure that the guy who dropped the recipe of Satanic is still there, and the Masters will do the rest!”

“I knew it was time to get a few griffins!; By the way, did you notice the big whirlpool when we left?”
