The lord is red again

When dusk came for countless times, the sickly sun was burning behind the red clouds.

The first expeditionary force did not go to Star Dragon City, which would have delayed them for a long time.

They simply camped outside the Holy Water Town to rest.

The logistics chef threw the dry food and beans that could not be distinguished into different things into the pot, covered the lid and simmered them until they became sticky.

The fragrance tempted the soldiers on the road.

Every time the undead disappeared collectively at this time, it was better to go offline and order takeout or eat instant noodles than to eat sticky beans in the game.

The entire marching team was not as magnificent as imagined. Most of the time, only the logistics soldiers rushed on the road, and the undead appeared sparsely.

They would disappear in batches when they rested.

In the game, you can rest on the spot, and in reality, you must take off your helmet and get up to stretch your muscles.

The undead "pull a big one" is a studio-type player. In order to maintain sufficient physical strength, the expeditionary army does not travel fast. Ordinary people may be able to tolerate it. They just travel every day, or brush up the favorability of the accompanying NPC, and occasionally play games such as arm wrestling.

The expeditionary army has always been very lively, just like some undead have become "bards", as if they are music teachers in reality, so they directly formed a small band and performed on tour with homemade folk instruments, and every time they can get a lot of applause.

NPC can distinguish between good and bad. Not everyone's performance will get applause, and they will be remembered by NPC after the performance, and they will be praised when they meet occasionally.

It is this sense of substitution like the real world that makes people unable to extricate themselves. The game is too real, and it is difficult to distinguish whether it is virtual or real.

But for players who are eager to develop interests, wasted time is money.

All side quests are unnecessary. Their goal is to speed through the main quest and then find the profitable part of the game.

"Go search around. Anyway, we know the direction. We can just catch up with the team along the road when the time comes." La Geda said.

His words were immediately recognized by several undead fellows. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to go out to kill monsters or take tasks.

However, they were blocked during the action.

"Do you want to be a deserter?"

"Brother, we are just walking to the northeast." La Geda pointed to the distance.

Just when the soldier wanted to say something, the crystal mage who happened to pass by came over and heard the argument here: "Let them leave."

"But, mentor... okay." The soldier wanted to say something, but finally gave way.

"Bye~" La Geda and others waved their hands and left the team with a smile.

Many undead saw this scene, but they didn't take it seriously.

"Where are you from?" asked the crystal mage.

"Teacher, I was in Windmill Village before!" the soldier replied.

"The undead will bear any choice they make."

"But deserters will affect the momentum, I don't understand."

"I don't understand either." The crystal mage looked towards the tent. Wen didn't understand either, but they could only follow Lind's orders for now.

When leaving, Lind ordered that they didn't need to care about what the undead were going to do. They could leave at will. If there was any betrayal, they would be judged as enemies, reported and all their honors and points would be cleared.

After the task was issued, the undead didn't have to be required to complete it.

Lind even gave an example in front of them. If the undead took an emergency rescue mission, but delayed it to pick a beehive on a roadside tree and caused the mission to fail, there was no need to give any punishment.

And Lind also specifically emphasized why the undead should be the main force to participate in the rescue.

They are only suitable for subordinate actions.

Never use them as the main force to complete the task. If you really do this, be prepared for the mission to fail.

"They are like lawless mercenaries, and they will not be punished!" The soldier was indignant.

"Yes."

The crystal mage nodded and said, "But you can remember their faces, there is no need to treat them well."

The soldier nodded: "I will!"

After leaving the expedition team, the big group of people deliberately chose an area without signal coverage to explore, and they really found two elite disasters in the wild.

In two days, they made an extra income and exploded the Heart of Disaster. This thing can be directly exchanged for money when it is posted online, and a lot of newbies are waiting for it.

But when they caught up with the expeditionary force, they found something wrong.

"Why didn't our experience points and military merits increase? Is there a bug?"

The experience points and other rewards in the Lion Badge are distributed by default every day, and there is no change at all.

It's broken!

They immediately found the NPC to ask.

"This is the expeditionary force, an army!" The soldier looked at La Geda and others with undisguised disgust on his face, "You left the team without permission, why do you still hope to get your salary?"

"Damn it!"

The news that La Geda and others left the expeditionary force and missed the "sign-in" quickly spread to the ears of the immortals in the expeditionary force.

Doing nothing every day, just playing small games and brushing up the NPC's favorability, you can get 1 experience point and 10 military merits exclusive to the expeditionary store, how cool.

Although La Geda and others got the Heart of Disaster, the profit from selling it was nothing compared to the experience points lost, especially their unorganized desertion behavior, which earned them the disgust of the entire expeditionary NPC.

"Following the expeditionary army is the main line?" La Geda wanted to swear and complain, but he couldn't.

Because the main line of version 1.0 is called [Expedition of the Great Rift]. It's broken. I gave up the expedition to do the side line. I'm stupid!

...

After a long journey, the expedition finally arrived at the destination.

It was very shabby, the door was open, and the walls were bent by wind and rain.

Maybe a gust of wind would cause the fortress to collapse and turn it into ruins.

The Crystal Mage and Wen Raven looked at the shabby building sentry post with different thoughts in their hearts, but they were equally excited.

Everyone lives for the beliefs in their hearts, and can sacrifice a lot and devote everything to fulfill their beliefs.

The Crystal Mage, who once regarded fighting the abyss as his lifelong mission, came back with a lot of feelings.

Although this team is not as good as the Executioners, they are immortal. Immortality means that they can fight indefinitely. Even if they cannot go deep into the deepest part of the abyss, at least they can avoid the overflowing abyss disasters wandering around.

But before that, they must build an outpost here. At present, this is the first line, serving as an outpost. When the expeditionary force advances deeper, this place will serve as a transit station.

It is an important portal for controlling the spread of the abyss plague.

This is the Gate of Morpheus!

There is more later.
