From afar, they saw a blue light heading straight to the sky.
"Let's go."
The two ran along the river toward the location of the arcane beacon. It was a river mouth, and there was a black mass of soldiers.
Most of them were Resistance Army soldiers with strong bodies and bright armor. With a cursory glance, more than half of them were actually Elites. This was definitely an elite force.
Bai Xiaowen saw Kevin at the front of the crowd. The arcane beacon above his head was too eye-catching.
In front of Kevin, there were some senior leaders of the resistance army.
"Usok."
The two came to the front of the army, and Bai Xiaowen handed the safe with the trade permit to the Usok.
As expected, the Usok didn't question him. Instead, they smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. How is the situation? You didn't expose yourself, did you? "
Bai Xiaowen replied, "Time was tight, so I couldn't apply for the trade permit through official channels … So I found the Dirk family's fleet, and after getting the safe, we sunk their main ship. There was no battle during the process. "
The Usok nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, Dior, you are very meticulous. Next, they have to salvage the sunken ship and identify the wreckage. It will take them a few days. By the time the Dirk family knows the truth about the trade permit and the treasure chest being stolen, we will have already entered Beihai Port. "
Spiritual Realm Rule Notifications:
"A-rank Side Mission: Trade Permit has been submitted."
"You have received 1200 Achievement Points as a reward."
"Your reputation in the Northern Resistance Army has increased. Current reputation level: Respected (unchanged)."
After that, there was a series of notifications about how his favorability had increased. Most of them were from the upper echelons of the Resistance Army, but the increase was not that great. This meant that A-rank missions were nothing to the Resistance Army at this point in time. They were just appetizers.
"Dior, I have already requisitioned a fleet of six hundred brave soldiers to carry out this surprise attack on Northshire. Do you have anything to add to this? "
After his speech at the high-level military meeting, Bai Xiaowen's strategy had been approved by the Usok, so they asked for his opinion before leaving.
Of course, Bai Xiaowen would not be humble. During the short period of ten days in the Spiritual Realm, Awakened ones had to constantly be in the limelight and shine brightly in order to obtain benefits. According to the situation, it was necessary to hide weapons on one's body from time to time and wait for the right time to make a move. However, hiding one's strength and biding one's time was even more undesirable.
"In this surprise attack, the number of soldiers is not the key. It's fine as long as there are enough. The key lies in the commander."
Bai Xiaowen said in a deep voice, "If Lord Usok can personally participate, we will definitely be able to take down Northshire."
The Usok smiled and shook its head, "After sending you off, I will immediately go to the city of Aveu to defend it. Aveu territory is located in the center of the Northern Territory, bordering Makar, Waltron, Samo, Pointed Helmet, and Blackthorn territories. Its strategic position is very important. Even if we can't take down Northshire, we can't just leave Aveu behind. "
After a pause, the Usok continued, "Also, if I don't go to Aveu, and the enemy detects this information, they may guess our strategic intention of attacking Northshire, which will increase the difficulty for you."
Bai Xiaowen said, "If Lord Usok can't go, I request to command this battle."
As soon as this was said, there was a moment of silence.
The Usok looked around and asked, "What do you think?"
A rebel general said, "It's not suitable. Dior has never led an army before."
"Yes, and Dior doesn't have much experience and isn't familiar with the soldiers in this battle. He won't be able to convince everyone," another person said.
Taggot said loudly, "Dior can come up with an idea, but coming up with an idea and personally leading an army are two different things."
The rebel generals all expressed their opinions. None of them were optimistic about Bai Xiaowen leading the surprise attack on Northshire.
The Usok pondered and said, "I understand brother Dior's intentions, but what everyone says does make sense. How about this: I appoint Grima as the commander of this expedition, and Dior will be an advisor. "
Grima stood up and knelt on one knee, "In the name of the great God of War Ista, I swear to offer this victory to Lord Usok."
The Usok said seriously, "As the commander of this battle, you must listen to brother Dior's opinion."
"Yes." Grima stood up and nodded at Bai Xiaowen.
"Dior, do you have any objections to this arrangement?" the Usok asked.
Bai Xiaowen smiled, "No objections."
In fact, Bai Xiaowen already knew that he wouldn't be able to command this important battle. The reason was just as the rebel generals had said. He had no experience in leading an army, and his reputation in the rebel army wasn't high either. How could he become the commander?
The Usok sent Grima, their trusted general, to command this battle. That was the normal choice.
Bai Xiaowen was only asking for an exorbitant price when he asked for the right to command. Usoc, on the other hand, had allowed Bai Xiaowen to follow the army as an advisor. He also allowed Greem to take Bai Xiaowen's opinion seriously.
After the commander and advisor were decided, the Usok also assigned a few leaders to follow the army into battle.
Kevin said, "Lord Usok, I also hope to participate in this battle."
"Master Kevin?" Grima was slightly surprised. Kevin, who had always been indifferent, actually volunteered to fight. It seemed that this surprise attack on Northshire was indeed a good opportunity to make a contribution.
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes.
The Usok laughed, "Good, with my chief sorcerer, it's enough to fight against an elite army."
At this time, Bai Xiaowen finally received a notification from the Spiritual Realm.
[Hero Side Mission: Surprise Attack on Northshire] activated.
[Mission Objective: Assist the rebel army to occupy the Lord's Hall in Northshire City and control 75% of the important areas in Northshire City.]
[Mission Difficulty: B]
[Mission Reward: Unknown]
[Mission Time Limit: 120 hours]
Li Shuyi said in a low voice, "Xiaowen, another Hero Side Mission." There was a hint of excitement in her voice.
Bai Xiaowen smiled in the team channel and said, "According to my summary, it's normal to give a Hero Side Mission for this kind of large-scale battle."
"It's a pity that the mission difficulty is B, it's not very high."
After the training after the CUAA National Competition, both of their strengths had increased significantly. Li Shuyi was obviously a little arrogant …
Bai Xiaowen smiled and shook his head, "B Hero Side Mission, the difficulty is not to be underestimated … In fact, Northshire is important as the capital of the Northern Region. The siege should be more than B Difficulty, but we have to consider the specific situation. Northshire should have sent a lot of troops to Aveu, the city's defense should be empty. On our side, we have Grima, Kevin, and two other leaders of the rebel army, which also reduces the difficulty. "
The two of them quickly accepted the mission.
The Usok laughed and said, "Good, I will defeat the invading army in Aveu and wait for news of your victory."
"Sir Usok, be careful," Grima said.
The Usok's elite army was used to attack Northshire. He would only bring some auxiliary soldiers and old and weak soldiers to Aveu this time. Taggot, the brawny man, would also go with him because he was too conspicuous. However, the guards with him were still too weak.
The Usok was not nervous. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. When the news of you attacking Northshire spreads, the soldiers of Northshire led by Arenas will definitely lose their morale. The siege of Aveu will naturally be lifted."
Bai Xiaowen thought to himself that Usoke was indeed an ambitious and ruthless person. He had quite the spirit.
Kevin picked up the safe. As a multi-specialized spellcaster, he easily unlocked the magic seal without triggering the alarm.
After unlocking the seal, Taggot smashed down with his hammer. The safe carved out of Phoebe Zhennan wood instantly shattered into pieces.
Not only was there a trade permit, but there was also some gold and silver from Captain Dirk's personal collection.
The Usok was very generous. With a wave of their hand, they rewarded these treasures to Bai Xiaowen.
Bai Xiaowen looked happy on the surface, but he was actually not interested in these treasures. The reason was simple. These were all things that could not be brought out of the Spiritual Realm.
This involved the problem of the resonance of psionic particles. This safe was stolen by Bai Xiaowen. It was not a loot dropped from a monster, nor was it one of the mission rewards. Of course, it could not be brought out of the Spiritual Realm. Similarly, the trade permit could not be brought out of the Spiritual Realm either.
The group boarded the ship, and the fleet set off.
The surprise attack fleet was disguised to a certain extent. They displayed the flag of the Dirk family. The leader was disguised as a merchant. Most of the elite soldiers were hidden in the cargo hold. A small number of rebel soldiers were disguised as sailors.
Who knew how many armed merchant ships there were in the Boguyas Strait. They would certainly not arouse suspicion.
The Usok had indeed made preparations for this surprise attack. When he sent Bai Xiaowen to get the trade permit, he also recruited two veterans who had followed the armed merchant ships and were used to the trade route of the Boguyas Strait as navigators.
According to the two veterans, the Boguyas Strait was not peaceful. There were two main reasons.
The first was the attack of ferocious sea beasts.
The group of silverback sharks in the Boguyas Strait was a fatal threat to small and medium-sized ships. As creatures of the Spiritual Realm, sharks were naturally different from ordinary sharks. They were elite aquatic beasts. They could easily overturn small boats. The humans and animals that fell into the water naturally became delicious food.
Sharks could not threaten large armed merchant ships, but this did not mean that there were no worries. Because there was another terrifying sea beast in the Boguyas Strait — the killer whale!
The killer whale was a local name in the Aaron Plane. If it was on Earth, it would be called the killer whale or killer whale. This kind of commander level sea beast was much more powerful than sharks. Moreover, they were highly social creatures. They would not appear alone, but in a family.
Unlike sharks, the killer whales could destroy large armed merchant ships with their continuous attacks.
The second was the plundering of the pirate ships.
The Vikings were a valiant race. Those Vikings who took risks and set sail to become pirates were not to be trifled with. To be honest, the cannons and ammunition equipped on the ship were mainly used to deal with the Viking pirates …
At this time, the value of the two experienced veterans was displayed. They could guide the fleet according to the changes of the seasons and the direction of the ocean currents. They could avoid the areas where the sea beasts were wreaking havoc, and avoid the areas where the pirates were overflowing.
If they were unlucky enough to encounter pirates, they could only fight.
Fortunately, the fleet did not encounter pirates. They only encountered a group of silverback sharks. They swam with the fleet for a while, but they could not do anything to the large merchant ships.
The two veterans took out two cows, cut their arteries and pushed them into the sea, letting the group of silverback sharks fight for food. Only then did they get rid of them.
Bai Xiaowen originally thought that it was superfluous because the group of silverback sharks could not threaten the large ship. But the veterans quickly told him the whole story. They got rid of the group of silverback sharks not because they were afraid of sharks, but to prevent the sharks from attracting killer whales. Sharks were also the killer whales' food.
After going out to sea, Bai Xiaowen also gained a lot of knowledge.
Thinking about it, the oceans of Earth in the Psionic Era should also be like this, containing all kinds of dangers, right? Although there were awakened humans on Earth now, they were still ignorant about the ocean, and their control was far less than in the Christian era.
At the end of the two-day voyage, standing on the deck, Bai Xiaowen could see the lighthouse and the dock of Beihai Harbor.
This was the territory of the Northern Region's capital, Beihai Harbor. Beihai Harbor was very close to Beihai Harbor, and it was also considered a coastal city.
Mage Kevin mixed some paint and disguised Grima according to Bai Xiaowen's description. He only needed to look similar to Captain Dirk. As for Bai Xiaowen's impression of Captain Dirk, it only existed in Bafur's memory fragments.
In addition, the auras of several leaders were also disguised, disguised as ordinary or elite auras.
However, this busyness was useless in the end, because Beihai Harbor checked the trade license. It was completely authenticated and did not recognize people. Even the inspection of the goods was very lax. After registering the words "three ships of rice", they waved their hands and let them go.
One cart after another was pushed down from the ship and rolled towards the North County City that was just a short distance away.
Outsiders thought that these carts were full of rice, but in fact, hidden inside were rebel soldiers with sharp blades.
The convoy did not encounter any trouble until they reached the gate of Beihai Harbor. The Imperial Army officers guarding the gate would strictly and carefully inspect every cart of goods that entered the city. Among them, straw, grain, and other carts that were easy to hide would be poked in by sharp blades for inspection.
Because of this, there was such a long line at the gate of the city. It was estimated that by the time it was Bai Xiaowen's turn, the sky would be dark.
"Guys, we can't just wait like idiots. We have to think of something."
The resistance leaders, along with Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi, had a brief meeting. Greem was the first to speak. He said softly, "That's right.
