Chapter 207 The Banquet in Karanli (2)
The hope in front of me just flashed by, and then was quietly extinguished.
It's like a match in a little girl's hand.
The fire gave her hope.
But the despair after the match went out was even more bone-chilling.
King Winter noticed the slave team, and even though he was far away, he still keenly recognized the demi-humans and tree elves mixed in the slave team.
He pursed his lips, looked away, and didn't say much.
…
…
[There are a group of demi-humans and elven slaves in the royal capital of Kalanli, and as a player of Winter City, you know deeply what kind of country King Winter wants to build, a free, tolerant, and free country.
A country of slavery and discrimination!]
The task system prompt box suddenly popped up.
The players standing outside the capital of Kalanli quickly got out of their bragging and spanking state.
"Brothers! Come to life, come to life!"
"Niubi Niubi, you are worthy of His Majesty the Winter King, as productive as a sow!"
The players were very happy and immediately opened the team formation permission without doing anything. Soon all players joined the team channel, and task prompt boxes continued to pop up.
[The King of Kalanli cannot enter too many troops. Now the spies and knights under King Winter have entered the city. They have their own tasks to do and have no time to take care of the affairs of demi-humans and elf slaves. This matter
I need your help in the end]
"Tsk tsk~Need our help~"
"I'm embarrassed to say that."
He laughed leisurely for a moment and put on the heavy armor on his body.
The same is basically true for the players around me.
They are already prepared.
[You have to sneak into Kalanli secretly and rescue the slaves who are driven by the slave owners without causing a disturbance. Your assistance may change their fate. If the matter is exposed and the mission fails, these slaves may die tragically in front of you.
】
In order to make players pay attention to this task, several scenes that Xiwei had seen in the forest were re-simulated by the system, and a thick mosaic was created and delivered to each player's eyes.
The originally laughing players fell silent.
As they looked at the pictures in their field of vision, a fire of anger began to grow in their hearts and burned ragingly.
Every Winter City player has had more or less contact with demi-humans.
Putting aside those cute little carrot heads, many of them are friends of demi-humans, regardless of gender.
In a stable environment like Winter City, these pure and simple elves demonstrated all the truth, goodness and beauty that a humanoid race can display.
Perhaps the only drawback is that he is too silly and naive.
There are no beggars in Winter City.
This is not just because of the Winter King's governance.
It’s also because as long as there is a beggar, he has basically been helped by these demi-humans who have nothing to do all day long, even if these beggars were humans who once attacked their country.
This race is very stupid.
But it's hard not to like it.
[Mission goal: rescue slaves]
[Task description: The approximate scope of the slave market has been marked on the map. Please sneak into the city without being discovered by the Kalanli guards and try to rescue all the imprisoned slaves]
[Task reward: Master-level equipment x1 of your choice, equipment lottery ticket x10, experience value 100,000, no copper coins]
[Punishment for mission failure: The Winter King’s disappointment (the favorability of the Winter City forces toward you is reduced by 50), and the slave may be killed by Kalanli soldiers in the chaos]
[Tip: The task is extremely difficult, please act with caution. If necessary, you can look for the "profiteer with severed fingers" for help, the password is "Winter Prayer"]
So far, the task has been issued.
It's just that the atmosphere has become a bit dull and depressing.
The usually careless players did not act rashly. They focused their attention on a few Winter City player representatives who could make decisions.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then glanced at the city wall full of wealthy people in Kalanli, and then said:
"I have two plans."
"Plan 1: Disguise yourself as a mobile chamber of commerce and enter the capital of Kalanli.
The Winter King's army is all over the mountains and plains. We can choose a thousand people to go in without being noticed by the guards.
After that, things will be simple, just buy slaves directly from those slave traders.
In fact, the most important thing for us players is money. We usually make a good income from selling Warcraft crystal cores.
Otherwise, we would have starved to death with the measly five copper coins given to each mission by the Winter King."
"If you don't do human things, be careful what you say!" Moment Youyou reminded from the side.
It is recognized that King Winter is stingy, but as long as he knows this in his heart, if he says it casually, who knows if the system will suddenly deduct his favorability points?
He shook his head indifferently and continued:
"Option 2: Since option 1 may not be successful because the guards in Kalanli may not let us in, I thought of a crude option 2."
As he spoke, he unfolded an electronic map and displayed the map in the public view of every player.
"Option two requires all of us to participate and dig tunnels from this forest."
Don't do anything and drew a red circle in a forest near the capital of Kalanli.
King Winter's specially hidden flying dragon troops are also stationed here.
“This is a place where the Kalanli guards cannot see, and the forest environment can effectively reduce noise. In the early stage, we dug manually.
After entering the underground, we will speed up our excavation with the help of the Star Mage."
"With the help of tunnels, we can also sneak into Kalanli without anyone noticing, launch a surprise attack on the slave market in the middle of the night, rob the slaves, blow up the passage and retreat calmly."
"Wouldn't this be too high-profile?"
There was a moment of leisure and worry.
Although it is true that digging tunnels can sneak into Kalanli without anyone noticing, the subsequent actions of robbing slaves and blowing up the tunnels will definitely be exposed.
As long as they were not fools, Kalanli's guards could clear the tunnels on their own. In the end, their suspicious eyes fell on the Winter City army outside Kalanli's capital.
Isn't this taking off your pants and farting?
It seemed as if Bai Wu had already anticipated the thoughts in Hexian's heart. He smiled mysteriously and said with confidence:
"I don't know if you have carefully observed King Kalanli's expression when he greeted King Winter.
Or, it stands to reason that both men are kings and their status is equal.
There is no need for King Kalanli to go out of the city to greet him."
"Maybe it's just because King Kalanli is more polite?"
The most handsome Yan Shuang raised his head and said something, but he got a look of indifference and an idiot look.
"If you were the king of Kalanli, would you surrender yourself to meet the Winter King?"
Yan Shuang is the most handsome. Due to the unique eye structure of the Venom Feilong, he did not understand the contempt in his eyes for not doing things. Instead, he thought carefully and answered the question seriously:
"If our national strength is about the same, then it shouldn't happen. Why?"
"Yeah, why." He smiled indifferently.
"Just because Kalanli's army can't defeat the Winter King, he's afraid!
So, even if we are exposed during the retreat, do you think the king of Kalanli will care about the King of Winter because of a group of slaves?"
"probably not."
"Won't!"
The players looked at each other and shook their heads.
If they had been King Kalanli, they would never have turned against the King of Winter during this critical period.
"Then why not attack directly? It doesn't seem to make any difference."
Another player raised his hand to ask a question.
"A direct attack is equivalent to a declaration of war, which is a slap in the face of King Kalanli.
People in high positions have the best reputation.
If you tear off the fig leaf, how can he stop getting angry with you?
And as a king, when the king is provoked.
Whether to go to war is actually no longer something he can decide."
"So, do you understand?"
In the end, he shrugged his shoulders.
Players, you look at me, I look at you, there is no doubt.
