The 'General' and 'Commander' channels were opened at the same time. Yang Rui and Cheng Yu both received a clearance token box. Gao Shun and Yu Jin also received a clearance token box.
After resting for a while, Yang Rui used the clearance token boxes and chose to enter the next layer of the dungeon.
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, you have chosen to continue exploring the dungeon's fifth stage. The true expedition is about to begin! Time limit: 3 hours. Player, please make your preparations. Mission 321, begin! "
The two clearance token boxes matched with the dungeon level. After a flash of light, Yang Rui, Cheng Yu, Gao Shun and Yu Jin were already on the fifth level of the dungeon.
After using the clearance token, Yang Rui obtained the two clearance items as usual.
"Expedition Token: A true general must experience the tempering of the battlefield. Today, the Xianbei people are rampant in the north, repeatedly invading our borders. Thou may bring 10,000 soldiers and go on a punitive expedition to eliminate future troubles."
"Search for Token: After the Qin dynasty, the hundred schools of thought disappeared. The orthodox civilization either disappeared from conquest, integration or spread to the outside world. Thou may raise the banner of orthodoxy and search for a lost civilization."
When Yang Rui cleared the fourth level of the terracotta soldier dungeon, he had obtained a Xiongnu punitive expedition token. Furthermore, Yang Rui had already completed one of the stages and restarted the quest.
Now that Yang Rui had obtained another Xiongnu punitive expedition token, it was comparable to the Xiongnu punitive expedition token. In the following half a year, Yang Rui did not have to worry about not having anything to do.
According to historical facts, the northern Hu civilization had never stopped. This was especially true during the Eastern Han and the Three Kingdoms period. Taking advantage of the chaos in the core civilization area, this group of people never stopped.
In the following one to two hundred years, the northern Hu barbarically invaded a large portion of the land. They even established their own country in the central plains. They burned and plundered everywhere. It could be said that it was a disaster for the Han race. The core civilization was on the verge of extinction.
And now, the two punitive tokens Yang Rui had obtained were targeted at the Hu of the north. It was equivalent to curbing the origin of the Hu's chaos. Although Yang Rui didn't know what era the game would be in, Yang Rui still placed great importance on eliminating the barbarians in the north.
The other token was a search token. It seemed to be a mission to search for a civilization branch, although it did not specify which region or civilization it was targeting. However, Yang Rui believed that after the token was used, it should be related to the quest.
At present, Yang Rui did not have the time to consider this. After entering the fifth floor of the Terracotta Soldier instance dungeon, Yang Rui quickly kept the two tokens that he had obtained. Using the limited time available for preparation, he observed the situation within the fifth floor of the instance dungeon.
Unlike the previous four floors, Yang Rui, Cheng Yu, Gao Shun, and Yu Jin appeared in a checkpoint. Although the level of the walls was not displayed, based on Yang Rui's experience, he could determine that this should be an intermediate level checkpoint.
The terrain around the checkpoint was similar to the few checkpoints around Dashan City. The terrain was relatively dangerous, and it was easy to defend but hard to attack. However, there were no terracotta soldiers or other forces within the checkpoint.
When Yang Rui wanted to mobilize the soldiers of Sky City to participate in the instance dungeon segment, he was notified by the system that he was temporarily unable to mobilize them. This caused Yang Rui to feel extremely puzzled.
"General, save us! General, save us! "
"We are being pursued by the Qin army for no reason. General, please allow us to enter the checkpoint. Please lend us a hand and save us! "
“”
Yang Rui's puzzlement didn't last for long. The hidden storyline of the Terracotta Soldier instance dungeon had begun.
Hundreds of NPCs dressed as commoners appeared before the checkpoint. Almost every one of them wore ragged clothes and appeared to be fleeing in panic.
"Enter the checkpoint!"
Yang Rui flew down the passageway and opened the door of the checkpoint. He then shouted.
In fact, when these NPCs appeared, a dialog box popped up in front of Yang Rui. He could accept them or reject them at the same time. It was normal for Yang Rui to make both choices.
At the same time, the NPC commoners' faction color was a neutral yellow. Until Yang Rui chose to accept them. Only then did the NPC commoners' faction color turn green.
"You must not procrastinate. Quickly enter the checkpoint!"
On the checkpoint, Cheng Yu shouted loudly. This was because the hundreds of commoner NPCs were either injured or old. Their movements were inconvenient and their speed of entering the checkpoint was indeed slow.
Yang Rui also noticed that Cheng Yu's gaze was currently looking into the distance. He immediately looked over and saw a cloud of dust rising into the air. The pursuers were actually not far from the checkpoint! No wonder Cheng Yu would have such a reaction.
"Gao Shun, Yu Jin listen to my orders. Go down the checkpoint and help the commoners enter the checkpoint. Prepare to block the pursuers at any time. "
"Yes!"
Seeing this situation, Yang Rui hurriedly ordered Gao Shun and Yu Jin to help. Yang Rui also personally went up and supported the injured and old NPCs as they moved into the checkpoint.
In reality, Yang Rui did not notice that when the commoner NPCs appeared, the dust from the pursuers had already revealed their tracks. Cheng Yu immediately noticed this point. It was just that Yang Rui did not notice it.
This setting was probably set to test the commander's ability to observe the battlefield. However, even if Yang Rui did not notice it, his choice was not necessarily wrong. If he allowed the Qin army to slaughter the commoner NPCs, it was very likely that the system would not allow it.
Thus, even if Cheng Yu had already noticed the situation, he did not stop Yang Rui from opening the checkpoint. He only gave a reminder.
"Kill!"
“”
With the help of Yang Rui and the other two, the hundreds of NPCs finally managed to enter the checkpoint before the pursuing Qin army reached the checkpoint. At the last moment, the gates were closed.
The pursuing Qin army did not ask any questions. Before they reached the checkpoint, they immediately attacked the checkpoint. Looking at the number of pursuers, there were roughly 10 thousand of them. Although they were called the "Qin army", they were in the form of terracotta soldiers. However, their expressions and speech were no different from real people.
"General, do you have anything to defend the checkpoint? We commoners are willing to help General defend the checkpoint!"
A relatively healthy NPC took the initiative to ask Yang Rui.
Yang Rui hesitated for a moment. Then, he ordered Gao Shun to lead the more healthy commoner NPCs to the defensive equipment on the wall. He ordered them to throw stones to help defend the city.
In reality, the thousand or so terracotta soldiers outside the city were only Tier-5. Even if the soldiers in Sky City could not be teleported out, Yang Rui, Cheng Yu, Gao Shun and Yu Jin were more than enough to deal with them.
Moreover, if Sky City could be opened, Yang Rui could directly use the hunting bow that he always kept in Sky City, which was much stronger than throwing stones. (To be continued.)
