[Congratulations player! You have completed stage 6!]
[Since you completed the task in less than half the required time, it is considered a "perfect completion," and an additional reward is being calculated!]
[Congratulations, player! You have received an additional reward for this stage of the mission: the difficulty of Stage 7 has been reduced by 20%, and the final stage reward has been increased by 20%.]
[Now, we will announce the details of Phase 7.]
[Current Stage Task 7]: You have successfully completed stage tasks multiple times in a row, and are now deeply bound to the "Human Faction" route, opening a glorious chapter! Please obtain the highest military merit reward of the Human Faction, the "Thorn Flower Medal". This reward must be issued by the current highest leader of the Human Faction; the time limit is one month; if the current task expires, the progress of the stage task will be reset and all rewards will be cleared.
......
"Wait, something's not right!"
Su Lin was taken aback: "How did it get to mission 7? Wasn't I doing mission 5?"
He remembered clearly that his progress in the initial stage of the siege was at level 5, so how did it suddenly jump to level 7?
Could it be that there's a bug in the system?
Su Lin could no longer afford to participate in the street fighting. He pulled his longsword from the orc corpse in front of him and carefully checked his escape mission.
"I see."
After checking, Su Lin suddenly realized: "So it turns out that the progress of the phased tasks is not reminded when the battle is intense. I did not skip the tasks, I just completed 5 and 6 in one go."
The objective of Phase 5 is to kill a sufficient number of enemies with military ranks. The number of 1,000 units already required has been met by the wolf riders who died in battle and the orcs killed by the elves during their attacks on the city walls.
After completing phase 5, Su Lin was engrossed in the battle and the system did not notify him of the change in mission progress; instead, it directly started the content of mission 6.
The task of Phase 6 was to have Su Lin break through an important front-line defense. The military fortress in front of him just happened to meet the requirements. As soon as Su Lin broke through the city gate and let the elves into the fortress, Phase 6 was completed.
At this moment, the battle Su Lin was experiencing was not too intense, and there weren't too many enemies, so the system's notification function was restored.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Xiao Linlin wasn't around, but she could still hear Su Lin's surprise and couldn't help but ask.
Su Lin told Xiao Linlin about his discovery, and Xiao Linlin couldn't help but be delighted: "Already mission 7? This fortress actually allowed us to complete three missions in one go! That's amazing!"
Although Xiao Linlin said that, if you think about it carefully, even ordinary survivors might not be able to raise an army strong enough to breach the fortress in such a short time.
Even with Su Lin's formidable strength, if he were to lead only a small team to probe and attack the fortress, the outcome would be highly uncertain, and he would certainly need the assistance of a powerful army.
In terms of mission difficulty, if this fortress is a crucial node in a phase of the mission, then it's not hard to understand why it's linked to three missions... Hmm? Three missions?
Su Lin asked, "Linlin, you're wrong. We've only completed two tasks; the third one isn't finished yet."
"It'll be soon. All we need to do is take this fortress."
Xiao Linlin was very confident: "There is a suspicious point in the content of Mission 7, which requires that the rewarder must be the 'actual' supreme leader."
"I think the mechanism probably took into account the possibility that the escape teams might turn against them in previous missions, or that there might be interference or resistance from other escape teams, so it deliberately set a trap here."
"Fortunately, we didn't do that. This match was also a single-player match, so the difficulty of Mission 7 was practically non-existent for us."
"Next, all we need to do is take the fortress, use it to claim credit, and have Brother Jia use the Duke to hint to the King and ask for the medal."
"As long as the king still needs these elves, he won't care about a symbolic medal. Even if he's really reluctant to give it up, we can just abandon the hidden quest and just take the medal."
Xiao Linlin's analysis is consistently accurate. No matter how great the interests involved, she only focuses on the core of the problem: ensuring survival first, and then considering everything else.
"Brother, you lead the attack on the city first. I'll go discuss this matter with Brother Jia."
"good."
Su Lin nodded in agreement, then focused his attention on attacking the fortress.
Although the fortress in front of us was known as the strongest defense line of the human faction, that was before it was breached. Now that the fortress has been breached, the rest is not complicated.
In any world, throughout history, the fall of a strategically vital military location has always been marked by fierce street fighting.
If the enemy can force us into street fighting, it basically means that our side is powerless to fight back and morale has plummeted; there are few exceptions.
Even without the participation of human armies, once these elves stormed into the fortress, most of the orcs lost their will to fight.
After all, they had witnessed firsthand how powerful the elves were. They could suppress the orcs outside the fortress, preventing them from using their full strength. After breaking through the fortress, they could kill elite troops like bear shield soldiers in close combat. They were almost without weaknesses and could not resist.
The surviving orcs, led by their remaining commander, retreated through several other city gates, not daring to linger and fight to the death.
Within two hours of breaching the fortress, the large number of orcs inside had long since disappeared, leaving only some unfortunate souls who hadn't had time to retreat and a suicide squad left behind to cover their retreat.
Xiao Linlin had already conveyed the strategic requirements, and Ellie ordered the elves to clear the interior of the fortress, strictly forbidding them from pursuing the remaining orc army.
