Chapter 1369: 462. When someone gives you a thumbs-up, it doesn’t always mean they are complimenting you..._2

The old soldier grunted, tossed the instruction card aside, and put the ten shells in front of him into his Spiritual Energy package before turning to leave.

The unloading of the ten fully loaded wagons continued for three hours. Since the items couldn’t be jostled around, they could only be moved using the most primitive manual labor. And just when the new players had finished moving the items and were excited about getting their reward and planning to take a jaunt to the swamp, Lin found them again.

"Don’t wander off when you go to the swamp!

Follow the path we’ve cleared to enter the advance camp of the northern defense line, and then select your specific front there.

Remember, don’t venture too deep into the swamp; with your levels and skill proficiency too low, just stick to the outskirts and take a whack at the solitary skeletons and rampaging swamp beasts."

He earnestly advised the group in front of him:

"Considering you’ll soon be reinforcing the manpower on three fronts, we have an extra mission for you that requires you to deliver some supplies to those three fronts and get a head start on familiarizing yourselves with the new weapons.

Don’t carry too much, and there’s no need for the brothers to hoof it; we will provide special marching Spiritual Energy packages. You just need to make the trip.

Of course, it’s not a mandatory mission.

Brothers willing to help out will get an additional set of newbie armor as a mission reward."

"Then let’s do it."

Someone in the crowd shouted:

"Since we’re going to the swamp anyways, it’s on the way, but can we pick our own newbie armor? I’m planning to become a Mage; you can’t give me a set of plate armor, right?"

The crowd immediately laughed, and Lin also laughed heartily, educating these newbies:

"In this real game world, Mages can wear plate armor; there’s no real division of armor. You can dress yourself up as a warrior. And you still want plate armor?

I think you’re daydreaming.

The front line can’t even ensure that each Commander has a set of plate armor, that stuff is way expensive, and honestly, in close combat, it’s not as useful as the more versatile chainmail.

If you want to pick, go pick, it’s all piled up in the warehouse.

But my advice is to pick hard leather armor. In this game, armor is like paper; if you run into a formidable monster, even if you’re wearing plate armor, you could be taken down in two hits.

After all, Spiritual Energy inherently has piercing properties, normal armor offers no real protection against it, better to keep agile so you can maintain speed when you need to run."

After giving his advice, Lin then found Rainbow Cat Hero, who was about to head home, and told him:

"The mayor of Meow Bunny Village sent a message to Stick Brother a while ago; he plans to extend the logistics route to the Golden Flower Vanguard’s position in the Kato area and corner the supply transport there. Of course, the specifics will have to wait until after this battle.

Your boss means that he wants you to personally scout the route and bring him firsthand information."

"Fuck! Is my senior trying to kill me? A level four newbie and he’s asking me to scout the swamp?"

Rainbow Cat Hero cursed:

"That heartless bastard, what if I encounter danger out there?"

"Don’t worry; if you follow the route on the map, you’ll be absolutely fine; the student group has already cleaned up that area, and there won’t be any undead suddenly poking your butt.

Just go with this group of newbies, it’s good to have someone to watch your back on the road."

Lin consoled:

"The swamps are tough to navigate, but if it’s just to the safe rear, there’s no need to be so afraid. The dangerous areas are all at the front line. Plus, once your boss personally transports the ’big killer’ over tomorrow, we’ll see how we deal with those wretched undead."

"Ah, such is the fate of the working man."

Rainbow Cat sighed helplessly.

He stamped his foot saying:

"I’m just an intern right now, but once I get this process down, I’m definitely going to go solo, set up my own village and forge my own path."

"Right, that’s the spirit!"

Seeing he had successfully swayed one fellow, Lin immediately put on a beaming smile, took a Spiritual Energy package, and stuffed it into Rainbow Cat’s arms, saying:

"This is a new gun for the student party; since you’re on your way, you might as well deliver it too.

Here, this bayonet is my support for you; you can attach it directly to the bayonet mount. It’s a limited procurement item; at this stage, you couldn’t buy it even if you had the money."

"Heh, at least you guys have some conscience."

Rainbow Cat unceremoniously accepted the cool-looking triangular bayonet, strapped it to his waist, studied the map carefully at Lin’s place, and then set off with two teams of ten newbies towards the direction of the western frontline of the swamp.

The first half of the journey was as safe as Lin had said; walking in the muck of the swamp, it was so quiet that there wasn’t even a bird chirping around. Amidst the newbies’ fierce complaints about the environment, they completed half the journey smoothly. Then, without fail, the unexpected happened.

"Shit! Guys, look! What the hell is that thing up ahead?"

Threejin Sweet Potato Burn had good eyesight; after passing through a clump of short swamp shrubs, he spotted a huge looming shadow moving ahead hundreds of meters away.

Those ghostly things silently advancing through the swamp appeared as if they were shrouded in mist, making them barely visible to the naked eye, but one could vaguely make out a bustling crowd that stretched several hundred meters long.
