Chapter 1263: 427. Rescue in the Fire

Master Marin of East Prussia was not the only one with concerns; in fact, both Tepar and Uncle Fuding, who seemed confident on the surface, shared the same worries.

Compared to other groups of players who had experienced war, the Torrent Knights were undoubtedly "newbies" who had just been formed.

Their only major battle experience had come from when they first entered the game and helped Hog in Smugglers’ Forest against the Skeleton Soldiers. Although they had received systematic training after Miss Biqi joined and tactical training support from the Winged Cavalry, no one could give a definite answer about the combat power the Knights Group could unleash.

If they were to falter, those who in some players’ eyes seemed to be too "pretentious" would become the laughingstock on the forums forever.

However, the good news was that Maxim and Milian had yet to lose their conscience to the extent of throwing a group of newbies alone into the battlefield to test their mettle.

As the Torrent Knights hurried to the battlefield, other player groups not burdened with additional tasks typically received prompts to trigger the mission:

[Ding! Special scenario event ’Light Shines in the Darkness’ triggered!

Event content: Originating from the Polluted Swamp, the Pestilence Clan Wolf People planned to launch a covert assault on Transylvania, but the fools lost their way and entered East Prussia’s border where they conducted an inhumane slaughter and undead conversion. This failed attack has gradually escalated into an unexpected large-scale conflict.

Marshal Loren of the Pioneer Fortress has already responded promptly, but he cannot reach everywhere! Before the main Cavalry of the Pioneer Fortress can reach the battlefield, the innocents threatened by the undead forces must hold out for six hours!

But they cannot!

They need help; residents who once belonged to the Posya Confederation in the throes of death and despair long for rescue from the brave.

Event requirements: Join the battlefield and help local defenders hold out until reinforcements arrive.

Failure condition: The 7th Brigade frontline of the Goldenrod Kingdom Pioneer Corps is breached, the defenders are annihilated, and the Wolf People Skeleton Army massively enters Banks City.

Event rewards: Large amounts of reputation with Goldenrod Kingdom, large amounts of reputation with Pioneer Corps, and gratitude from the locals.

Notice!

This event is optional, refusal will not affect the reputation already owned.]

"?"

Upon seeing the prompt for this random event, Little Wei Ming, who was wiping her firearms, had a big question mark appear over her head, turned to "Lady Shui" beside her, and complained,

"This is my first time seeing such a lame reward for a mission, just reputation and thanks... Isn’t that basically no reward at all?"

"No, it’s not as simple as you think,"

"Lady Shui" squinting her eyes, reviewed the content triggered by this mission and after a brief moment of thought while playing with her long hair said,

"This is a random event triggered during the ’Hundred Days Construction’ initiative. In other words, the outcome of this event will affect the final result of the main event.

On the surface, saving people of the Goldenrod Kingdom might not seem to have tangible benefits, but if you read between the lines in the description, you can understand the clues embedded by the development team.

East Prussia was originally a territory of the Posya Confederation, meaning the residents there were theoretically compatriots of the people of Transylvania. Legally speaking, if they ’voluntarily’ moved to Transylvania, even Marshal Loren would have no reason to stop them.

In other words, this event could still serve as a step for ’population census’ to acquire manpower.

If managed well, it’s possible to empty the population of that disaster-affected area in one fell swoop...

Ha, not having a tangible reward is the biggest reward!

If they only gave a few pieces of equipment or some gold coins, then it would show this random event is unimportant."

With that, "Lady Shui" stood up, picked up her cool-looking scythe, and said to the enlightened Little Wei Ming:

"Immediately summon the others to come back, we are going to join in big time, but make sure to first agree on the assistance feedback with Tepar and Uncle Fuding—they must share some of the workforce they harvest with us!

I reckon this might be one of the few ’open and aboveboard’ privateering actions in the large census operation.

Miss this opportunity, and there won’t be another store like this."

"I just can’t accept it, how can your brain be so functional!"

Little Wei Ming quickly assembled her firearms while complaining,

"My IQ on paper is not much different from yours."

"I’ve eaten for ten more years than you, you little silly,"

"Lady Shui" said with a wink:

"By the time you’re my age, you’ll definitely be smarter than me. Now, go hurry and call the people. We need to set off soon; if we’re late, we’ll miss the hot meal."

"Got it."

Little Wei Ming flapped her wings to get up, but before she left, she curiously said,

"Mengha hasn’t been online for several days now, nothing bad has happened to her, right? I asked Sister Pomegranate and she wouldn’t tell me; she just said that we would see Mengha again in a few days. That girl tricked me into disassembling the Calculating Pearl with her, and we ended up startling Sir Morphy—it scared the life out of me."

"Don’t worry about it."

Regarding this concern, "Lady Shui" merely chuckled and said,

"As long as her account hasn’t been deleted, it means the problem isn’t too serious. Maybe she’s just delayed by some real-life matters. The girl is indeed rash.

But that’s not necessarily a bad thing."
