The guards of Cloud Peak City and Xia Wu City seemed to be carved from the same mold. A bunch of miscellaneous soldiers and a captain who looked like a proper person. In this so-called autumn of the city war, they still pretended to exist in the office! As soon as Gu Fei entered the door, the captain stood up: "Qianli is drunk, you're here!!"
In the game, an NPC taking the initiative to speak to you was already a kind of quest prompt. After all, there were countless NPCs in and out of the city. If the player took the initiative to ask "Hello, do you need help?", it would be a bit too much. So in most quests, when the player slipped past the NPC, the NPC would take the initiative to speak. Players who were familiar with the situation would immediately know: there is a door here.
However, for daily quests or wanted quests, the NPC generally didn't have this kind of service. At this time, the captain took the initiative to speak. It seemed that this was a special setting during the city war. Thinking about this, Gu Fei quickly moved closer and followed the NPC's words: "I'm here, I'm here."
"Cloud City is being attacked by a group of mobs. As a member of the guard, you should take up your own weapon and defend your home!" The guard captain of Cloud City said sincerely.
Gu Fei was startled. The mystery of his faction was about to be revealed. It turned out that the guard was a faction. But he took the lead to cause trouble in Xia Fog City and killed the captain of the guard there. How should this be counted? Could it be that because the last hit wasn't him, it shouldn't be counted? This didn't seem to be the rule in the parallel world! Who started the fight, the damage output during the fight, and the last hit, these three factors were considered comprehensively. To kill Giordano, Gu Fei should be the main person responsible.
However, there was no point in dwelling on this at this time. It was obvious that the Guard did not treat Gu Fei as an outsider. After Gu Fei quickly expressed his willingness to obey the organization to protect his homeland, the Guard Captain of Cloud City was pleased to give him a task. "Now there is a group of rioters who have kidnapped the civil engineer of Cloud City, Gilkino. They want to use his talent to dismantle the defense structure of Cloud City. Now that the city guards are short of manpower, the rescue mission has to be handed over to the Guard Squad. Qianli is drunk. Go, stop their plot and save Gilkino!! "
Gu Fei listened to the NPC's words. The Guard and the City Guards were not from the same system. The quest asked him to stop the mob. Weren't the mob all players? Fighting with others was an endless joy! Gu Fei liked to PK with others, so he happily accepted.
"According to the scouts, Gilkino is currently being held here. Go, bring people to rescue him!" The Captain said.
"Bring people?" Gu Fei was confused. There were only him, the Sword Demon and Little Ray in the city. Why would he bring people? He agreed and pondered at the same time! The Captain had already given his closing words. "I wish you good luck!"
There was no need to be polite with the NPC. Gu Fei did not say goodbye and went out the door. He did not expect to hear footsteps behind him. When he turned around, he saw that the four soldiers who were originally in the Guard Squad room had followed him out the door.
Gu Fei did not care at first, but when he went downstairs and left the meeting hall, he found that the four soldiers were still following him. Gu Fei was puzzled. "Why are they following me?"
"To rescue Gilkino!" The four soldiers bowed to Gu Fei and answered respectfully.
So there really were people! They actually sent me four NPCs. What is this? Pets? Gu Fei did not know much about the game. It was a pity that he recognized these four soldiers as pets.
But these pets did not make Gu Fei happy at all. These four soldiers as helpers made him feel that the difficulty of the mission had increased. According to Gu Fei's thinking, the players outside the city did not know that he was an enemy, so he could walk among them openly. But now that he was followed by four system soldiers, wouldn't he become the target of public criticism? But then he thought about it again. Most people would not think that these four soldiers were led by him! When he walked into the crowd, the players could attack him as they pleased. He would let these four people fend for themselves!
Fortunately, these four soldiers were just system NPCs without any thoughts. If a living person knew of Gu Fei's thoughts, they would really die from anger. They were willing to risk their lives for him! He had already made up his mind to not care if they lived or died.
After Gu Fei left the council hall, he sent a message to Sword Demon. "I received a mission. How is it outside? Is there a fight?"
"No, what mission did you receive?" Sword Demon asked.
"Save people. They even sent me helpers. "Gu Fei said.
"What helpers?" Sword Demon asked.
"Four soldiers!" Gu Fei said.
"There's such a thing? Come and take a look." It was common for the system to send NPCs to follow the players. Wasn't it like the chain quest from Reigning the Four Seas? It was an escort quest! But the NPCs were sent to help the players fight. Moreover, there were four of them. Sword Demon had never heard of such a thing.
The two met up in the city. The four soldiers followed Gu Fei closely. At this time, Gu Fei stood down and talked to Sword Demon. The four soldiers stood in a square behind him and stood orderly.
"It's just these four? Hey, this is new. I've never heard of them. "Sword Demon walked up and looked at the NPC curiously. The NPC didn't have any psychological qualities. He didn't care about Sword Demon's look at him at all.
"I have to hurry. My mission is on time!" After Gu Fei received the mission and left, a countdown appeared in the mission list. There was a total of two hours. The parallel world map was too big. Usually, it would take a lot of time just to travel in the game. A two-hour mission time wasn't long.
"Where are we going to save people?" Sword Demon asked.
The Captain's service was very good. He gave him the coordinates and a map. The map was not very clear, but the coordinates were more important. Gu Fei said the coordinates, and Sword Ghost calculated that it was a little far away. He quickly nodded and said, "Yes, we have to hurry. I'll go with you!" Sword Ghost didn't have a chance to look for White and Black, so he had nothing to do.
"The north gate is still the same. No one is moving?" Gu Fei asked.
"Yes!"
"We can't go out like that! It's too conspicuous. We have to go to the other three gates. "Gu Fei said.
"These coordinates should be closest to the west gate. Let's go out from the west gate!" Sword Demon suggested.
The two of them walked toward the west gate. Along the way, Sword Ghost clicked his tongue in wonder at the four guards.
"I wonder how strong these four guys are?" Sword Demon said.
"Let's try." Gu Fei said.
"How?" Sword Demon asked.
Gu Fei pointed at Sword Demon. "Attack!!"
The four guards were really obedient. They immediately pulled out their swords and charged at Sword Demon. Gu Fei laughed. "You try."
Sword Demon was flustered by his sudden attack. He hurriedly dodged two attacks and shouted, "How can I try! What if I attack and kill them? "
"Kill them then kill them. They're a burden anyway. Let's see if you've made any progress these past few days." Gu Fei said.
Sword Demon heard this and became spirited. These past two days, he had been fighting monsters according to Gu Fei's instructions and felt more and more comfortable. Using these methods to fight monsters might not be as efficient as he wanted, but Sword Demon was already strongly aware of the huge changes this method would bring in PK. What's more, the inefficiency of leveling was only because he hadn't reached the level yet. If he could reach Gu Fei's level, his efficiency would definitely be amazing. How could Sword Demon not see the foundation of this efficient leveling method?
However, although Sword Demon had fighting spirit, he was currently majoring in a one-on-one course. With each additional opponent, the difficulty would increase exponentially. Sword Demon once courageously pulled two monsters to practice, but he almost lost his life. Later, he practiced hard for a few days and was planning to take two more to practice. Today, four came directly.
The four soldiers also attacked and defended. The four people still stood in a square, but they surrounded Sword Demon in the middle. Four swords slashed down from four angles. Sword Demon had done his best and dodged three swords, but was hit by the fourth sword. The more Sword Demon practiced, the more he understood. It was clear that with his current level, it was too difficult to use this method to deal with these four.
But he couldn't just give in after one move, right? Sword Demon's tenacity came again. He clenched his teeth and persevered. Gu Fei understood people better than him. After two rounds, he basically predicted the situation. He waved his hand, "Stop attacking."
The four soldiers immediately put away their swords and stopped. Sword Demon looked over blankly. Gu Fei said, "Even if you can't kill them, you still have a mission. Hurry up."
Sword Demon was quite ashamed. The skills of the NPCs in the system were basically the same. When it came to their strength, it generally looked at them in numbers, such as attack, speed, health, defense, and whether they had any special skills. Although Sword Demon only lasted two rounds, he still took two swords. After looking at the damage, he said, "Attack is quite average, speed isn't fast, health and defense, I don't know … but looking at this attack and speed, it's the strength of a normal monster!"
"En, why else would the system send you four Mist Assassins?" Gu Fei said.
"You don't say. Today, I went to the Thief Guild. Because of the faction, I found out that there is a secret area in the Thief Guild, which is the territory of the Assassin Alliance. There are all kinds of NPC assassins there, and I think there is one that looks like a Mist Assassin." Sword Demon said.
"But it can't be the one who wrote the diary, right?" Gu Fei said.
"Erm … erm, you got lost in Cloud Fog City again!" The Sword Ghost laughed.
As the two spoke, they were already out of the west gate. The west gate was not like the north gate. Sword of Unsworn went against the flow. They gathered guilds, and some people were willing to work together to command them, while others were willing to continue to have their own sovereignty. Most of these people who were unwilling to go were small to medium guilds. This was because people who understood the situation knew that even if the big guilds joined the alliance, they would have a lot of status and sovereignty, and the weaker guilds could only follow orders from behind. Many people didn't like this kind of feeling. They would rather have a small fight and just have fun!
These players were relaxed, and there were quite a few of them. At this time, the west gate was in full swing. Dead? So what if they died, they didn't lose anything. They could revive at the revival point, repair their equipment, and then continue! These leisurely players paid the price of death, which indirectly formed the plan of Sword of Unsworn's side: when one row fell, another row would take over, and it would be a battle of attrition with the system.
And in the process of continuous fighting, what rock shattering attacks! An assassin lying in ambush! They had all seen these methods before. When Gu Fei and Sword Demon went out of the west gate, the players here once again rushed to the bottom of the city wall, causing the guards below to charge and kill them. Without a unified command and a unified plan, the players didn't know if their attacks had shaken the system's defense. In any case, they didn't back down and were having fun as they died and got back up again and again.
Although they didn't form an alliance through formal negotiations, they also built a comradely revolutionary friendship in this kind of battle. When they saw the players around them being attacked, they would take the initiative to help. After that, they looked at each other and smiled. They didn't care who the other party was, and they didn't care if the other party stole their guild's points.
Compared to the north gate, their sacrifices were more tragic, but they fought very happily. Because to them, whether they lived or died, it was fun.
"Hey, it's lively here!" Gu Fei exclaimed.
"Yeah! It looks like someone at the north gate is giving orders to control the players' attacks. Although it's messy here, it's quite fun to watch. "Sword Demon said.
"It's not easy to fight like this." Gu Fei said.
"Where should we find a place to sneak over?" Sword Demon counted the coordinates while calculating the direction.
"Don't worry about it, just charge into the crowd! If someone attacks these four guys, pretend we don't know them. "Gu Fei said.
"Why?" Sword Demon asked.
"These four guys will expose our identity! They'll be a burden. "Gu Fei said.
"That's too wasteful." Sword Demon liked to experience the fun of the game. It was rare to have four NPCs listen to him, so he was a bit reluctant to sacrifice them. He thought about it and said, "Do you think we can disguise them?"
"Disguise how?"
"System soldiers, you see, they can be recognized as NPCs at a glance, mainly because their clothes are too NPC. It's very orthodox. Give them some equipment and I don't think they'll be recognized as NPCs at a glance." Sword Demon said.
"Will it work?" Gu Fei was puzzled.
"Tell them to remove their equipment and see if they listen." Sword Demon said.
Gu Fei immediately ordered, "Remove the armor!"
The four soldiers obediently took off their armor from head to toe, and each of them wore a tight-fitting underwear.
"It really works!" Gu Fei was surprised, "Hurry up and put on their equipment!"
"Wait here!" Sword Demon flew over. The city gate was very close to the warehouse. Sword Demon's warehouse also had a lot of inventory, so it wasn't a problem to take care of the four people. This wasn't equipment, but disguise. Places like accessories were empty, so there was no need to care.
The four soldiers listened to Gu Fei's arrangements and put on the equipment that Sword Demon brought. As expected, they didn't look like NPCs. At first glance, two Thieves, one Warrior, and one Priest looked very much like players.
"I don't know what good equipment NPCs use!" Sword Demon muttered at this time, picking up the equipment that the soldiers changed out of. At the same time, he carefully stared at them, worried that they wouldn't let him touch their equipment.
In the end, the soldiers ignored Sword Demon. Sword Demon picked up the soldier's armor and looked at it. He was very excited, "Damn, it's a set!!! A five-piece set!!! "
The system soldier's equipment was a Green Equipment Set, consisting of a helmet, armor, belt, combat boots, and gauntlets. The four rows of additional attributes were enough to make people excited. At the moment, there were no players with so many parts in a Equipment Set! Sword Demon was excited, but he suddenly saw a row of words on the equipment: Mission item, cannot be equipped.
"Damn!" This was too disappointing. Gu Fei also came over to take a look. Sword Demon put the equipment back.
"Put away all the equipment." Gu Fei tried to give the order.
The soldiers were really smart. They even knew how to use the pocket function on the player's equipment and put their armor into their pockets.
"It's about time. I think we can really get through this. Let's go!!" Gu Fei said.
The two of them and the four soldiers rushed out of the city gate together and quickly blended into the fierce battle between the players and the system guards. At this time, the guards and the players were fighting in close combat. The catapults on the city wall had stopped. The Mages didn't use area of effect spells. They observed the situation with the archers and shot.
Everything was as Gu Fei expected. The system guards treated them as partners and didn't attack them at all. In the eyes of the players, they were also comrades. Naturally, they wouldn't make things difficult for them. Some players just happened to see these six guys running in the opposite direction. They thought they were being chased and jumped out to cut them off. In the end, they didn't find anything. They just watched the six of them pass through the formation without stopping.
Since the camp was a spontaneous battle without any organization, no one paid any attention to the six people going against the flow. The main spirit of the battle here was: do what you want to do, even if you don't want to fight anymore and run to the leveling area to level up.
Gu Fei, Sword Demon, and the other four soldiers ran away from the battlefield in one breath. After running all the way, Sword Demon came to another conclusion. "These four guys aren't slow!!!"
Gu Fei and Sword Demon both had outstanding movement speed among the players. However, these four soldiers were all warrior-type, yet they had this movement speed. This was how unreasonable the system was.
"It might be specially coordinated with my movement speed. Otherwise, why would I coordinate with their movement speed? That wouldn't be an escort mission. "Gu Fei said.
"Makes sense." Sword Demon nodded. He looked at the coordinates again and pointed to the front. "It's over there. We're almost there."
"I think this may be similar to a two-way mission. There should be some players here who received the mission to use this engineer to attack the city. Now my mission is to destroy this mission of theirs."
"Well, then let's approach carefully now!" Sword Demon suggested.
"What are you afraid of? They definitely won't guess that we're actually opponents." Gu Fei said.
"Uh, then why don't we mask ourselves. Otherwise, we'll be exposed this time." Sword Demon's vision was very far-sighted.
"You're quite treacherous!" Gu Fei exclaimed.
Sword Demon was sincere. "Boss, my mission hasn't been completed yet!"
It turned out that he was thinking about this! Gu Fei smiled, so he took this suggestion and covered his face with a cloth. He thought that the team should have a unified style, so he waved to the four guards. "Cover your faces."
