While the three marshals were discussing military affairs in front of the sand table, Jiang Fei sneaked over to the Saint.
"Unknown Explorer, I know that you are a member of the Nephilim race, but my heart tells me that you are not an enemy. Although the Light and Dark races are like fire and water, I hope that the war will not affect the civilians. Can you help me?" The Saint lowered her voice and asked.
"Ding! The Saintess of Light has issued you a Legendary Hidden Quest — Save the People! Do you accept? "
"Your Highness Saintess, you are right. There is no right or wrong in war, but we shouldn't let ordinary people pay for it!" Jiang Fei nodded and accepted the Quest. Although the Quest did not sound easy, it was a Legendary Hidden Quest. If it was completed, the rewards would be amazing!
"Thank you very much!" The Saint looked at Jiang Fei with approval, then handed him a small bracelet and a letter.
"It's not convenient to say more here. I've written everything in the letter. Please!" The Holy Maiden of Light glanced at the three Demon Marshals and found that they were focused on studying tactics and had not noticed what was happening.
"I'll try my best!" Jiang Fei took the quest item and left the Command Hall.
Once he was outside, Jiang Fei found a secluded place and opened the letter.
"Ding! Quest updated! "At the same time, Jiang Fei received a quest notification.
The Saint's letter to Jiang Fei did not contain much content. The main point was that Jiang Fei had to take the bracelet to a place where there was a Saint's Guard. With the bracelet as a token, Jiang Fei could take command of the Saint's Guard.
Next, Jiang Fei's quest was to lead the Saint's Guard to evacuate the civilians from the Light Faction. The quest objective was to evacuate 10,000 civilians. The quest rewards were very tempting. There were 50,000,000 Experience Points, 2,000 gold coins, and a piece of equipment with unknown attributes.
Although Isabella was a little unhappy that Jiang Fei wanted to help the Saint of the Light, as the quest was only to evacuate the civilians, the kind-hearted Isabella did not stop Jiang Fei from accepting the quest.
After reading the Saint's Quest, Jiang Fei took a look at the second step of the War Resources Quest.
Mission Name: War Materials 2
Mission Description: In order to prepare for the upcoming decisive battle, the Demon Flame Fortress needs a large amount of Magic Steel Ingots to forge weapons! Your current mission is to do everything you can to get 10,000 Magic Steel Ingots!
Quest Reward: 1,500 Experience Points, 1,000 Gold Coins, 2,000 Honor Points
Sure enough, the reward for the second step of the quest series was much better than the first step. However, the difficulty of the quest was also much higher.
Fel Steel Ingots were a necessary material for producing Level 60-plus weapons and heavy armor. Players could refine Fel Steel Ingots after mining the Fel Steel Ore. They could also purchase the finished products from neutral NPCs. However, Fel Steel Ore was a specialty of the Faction Region, and it couldn't be found in the main city. Moreover, other players couldn't enter the Domain Map yet. Hence, the first option was out of the question.
Other than the first option, Jiang Fei had two other options. One was to buy from the neutral race NPCs, and the other was to loot from the Light Faction. However, if he wanted to buy such military supplies from the neutral race, he would need to have at least a Reputation Level of Respect. This was not a personal Reputation Level, but a Faction Reputation Level.
As for looting from the Light Faction, it was even more difficult. Although Jiang Fei had previously raided the Light Faction's hinterland and even helped to capture the Saint of the Light, his quest was more like a spy infiltrating the enemy's inner circle. The ones who actually destroyed the town were the Dark Faction's soldiers. All Jiang Fei did was destroy the defense tower and the Teleportation Point.
Now that he was alone, it was like throwing an egg against a rock. Jiang Fei and Isabella could not break through the defense of any town.
"Huh?!" Suddenly, Jiang Fei had an idea.
The quest he had received from the Saint of the Light was to help evacuate the civilians of the Light Faction. If that was the case, after the people in the blacksmith's shop evacuated, they would not have the time to care about the heavy Fel Steel Ingots.
With this idea in mind, Jiang Fei's mind started to work. Although he was going to evacuate the civilians, the Saint of the Light's quest did not require him to protect the civilians' private property. Jiang Fei only needed to protect the civilians' lives. As for their property, it would be Jiang Fei's labor fee.
Although the civilians would definitely bring as much private property as possible when they were evacuated, Jiang Fei was still the commander. So, all he had to do was to urge the civilians to leave or even ask the soldiers to drive them away. Then, the civilians would, at most, bring gold, silver, and other valuables. The Fel Steel Ingots and the like would naturally fall into Jiang Fei's pocket. Not only would Jiang Fei be able to complete the quest, but he would also have the materials to build his own fortress.
Very soon, Jiang Fei had perfected his plan and was ready to execute it.
Jiang Fei's first step was to bring Isabella to the coordinates given by the Saint of the Light. There was a group of Saint's Guards on standby.
"Who is it?! Everyone, be on alert! "As soon as Jiang Fei got close to the guards, someone sounded the alarm.
"D * mn it! It's the Nephilim! "
"Kill them!" After all, they were NPCs from the Light Faction. As soon as they saw Jiang Fei, they began to draw their swords.
"F * ck! How the f * ck are we supposed to do this? " Although Jiang Fei had the Saint's token with him, these guys attacked him the moment they met. They did not even give him a chance to explain.
"Nephilim, die!" At that moment, a female general came from afar. She seemed to be the commander of the guards.
"Huh?!" The female general from the Light Faction, who was originally in Hostile Status, was stunned when she got close to Jiang Fei. Jiang Fei's Romeo Title had once again come into play. The female general raised her long spear, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not stab Jiang Fei. This was because her Reputation with Jiang Fei had instantly become Green.
"Who are you?" The female general asked.
"I am the messenger sent by the Saint. This is the Saint's token and the token!" Jiang Fei immediately handed over the letter and the bracelet.
"I am the commander of the Saint's Guards, Hua Mulan. Greetings, Lord Messenger!" She already had a Friendly Reputation with Jiang Fei. After reading the letter, the female general naturally believed in Jiang Fei's identity.
"Pfft …" Jiang Fei almost spat. He did not know which programmer was so ridiculous as to give this NPC the name Hua Mulan.
However, the female general's strength was indeed worthy of the name Hua Mulan. She was a Level 89 High-Tier Lord. She was only one step away from becoming an Overlord. It seemed that the Luminous Vatican had spared no effort to protect the Saint. Unfortunately, when the Saint was cultivating in the Mystic Sect, she did not bring any guards with her. Therefore, Jiang Fei and the others took advantage of the situation and eventually captured her.
After that, Hua Mulan explained Jiang Fei's identity to the members of the Saint's Guards. At least, the Luminous Believers would not attack Jiang Fei on sight.
After Jiang Fei walked around the Saint's Guards, two-thirds of the female soldiers in the Saint's Guards had become Green Friendly. The male soldiers were not affected by the Romeo Title. However, because of the Saint's token, they had become Pink Indifferent. Although they ignored Jiang Fei, they did not attack him.
