[New Mission]
[Help Arthur solve the water problem, and then enter the capital of the Nord Kingdom through him. ]
[System prompt: Follow your feeling, let it lead me... Pah, please follow me, I will tell you where to solve the water source task.]
The system actively communicated with the Baron from the bottom of its heart and informed him of this task. The Baron then realized that he could not refuse to help Arthur at the moment.
This is an unavoidable chore. If it is not completed, subsequent events cannot be advanced.
De Lassel could only silently ask the system one more question in his mind: Is the risk factor of this mission high?
[System prompt: Uh... Based on your current combat power and attribute points, if you want to complete this task, you can use an idiom with the word "horse" to describe it.]
Oh, I get it. It must be an immediate success, right, system?
【System prompt: No, it means you died on the battlefield. It is very likely that you fought bravely and died on the battlefield. Of course, there is still a chance of survival.
Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you bring the Emperor Luo Nier with you on this trip! At the same time, write a letter back to the town and let Xiao Muzi perform witchcraft in the middle of the night to secretly cooperate with your actions.
It would be best if it were a spell that would temporarily replenish your energy so that you can deal with the water scarcity issue as smoothly as possible. 】
Hearing the system describe this task as so difficult, the Baron had to take it seriously. After all, he had lost his life once when he and the Emperor went to attack the King of Land Lions last time.
If I don't deal with it carefully this time and make the same mistake again, I'm afraid no one will be able to use the resurrection technique to save me...
After thinking for a moment, the baron said to Arthur: "Okay, let Chuchu and I take care of this matter. But after we are done, you must accompany us to find King Genna."
The brave Arthur replied: "That is inevitable. I will never break my promise. You know me well!"
"I didn't know that you're fussing with me for eating one of your chickens."
"Alright, alright, De La Ser, stop kidding me. I know where the water source is, but the situation over there is complicated. None of the soldiers I sent out to get water survived."
This gave the Baron a headache, and he complained, "Good fellow, none of the people sent out survived, and you're going to ask me to go? You want to see how tough Chuchu and I are, right?"
At this time, the Pumpkin Queen Ronnie was also very unhappy and interrupted, "Wait a minute, Baron, who said I want to go with you? This is a private matter between you and Arthur, I will not participate."
"Chu Chu, I know you can't bear to see me die alone. Let's die together." The Baron said mischievously.
"Damn man!" After saying this, Empress Loniel didn't say anything more.
Seeing this, the brave Arthur took the lead in breaking the awkward atmosphere and explained: "Okay, okay, listen to me. The situation is like this. About 3-5 days ago, this place suddenly..."
So Arthur described everything clearly from beginning to end, and the Baron and Queen Ronnie listened with great attentively.
Finally, the baron could no longer bear it and slammed the table, shouting: "What did you say? A monster with a centaur head? Or you can die of thirst here, Arthur. I can't do anything."
At this time, the baron was thinking about the following situation: Centaurs are half-man, half-horse monsters in ancient Greek mythology. Their upper body is a human torso, and their lower body is a horse body, including the waist and four legs.
There are many different stories about the origin of Centaurs in Greek mythology. There are many well-known Centaurs, who are generally described as rude, violent and unreasonable.
They are generally regarded as representatives of barbarism, the opposite of human beings, but there are also a few who are very knowledgeable and educated.
The image of the centaur is also used to symbolize that men are trapped by their own carnal desires and are trapped by animalistic impulses.
In Greek and Roman mythology, the lustful Centaur represents the uncivilized, lawless and instinctive side of human nature.
At a king's wedding feast, the Centaurs attempted to abduct the bride, rape the female guests, and attack the hosts with tree trunks and stones.
Anyway, after thinking about it, the Baron generally thinks that they are not a good group of people!
Arthur put aside his pride and said in an almost pleading tone, "Don't be so idle, Baron. There aren't many centaurs around here."
As a warrior of the Nord Kingdom, his current humility was not a sign of shame, but a plea for help from the baron for the future safety of his soldiers.
So, this doesn't seem shameful, but makes De Lassel and the Queen Ronnie have more respect for him. He is a kind and brave man.
The Baron hesitated for a moment, and the thought of refusing and protesting the system's task emerged in his mind countless times, but he finally decided to lend a helping hand, all for the sake of brotherhood and the people of the world.
"Tell me, Arthur, how many centaurs there are." The baron sat down calmly and asked about the situation of the enemy.
“No more than 1,000.”
“Too general.”
"More than 10."
"Damn, how many are there exactly?" The Baron wanted to talk to him in a nice tone, but unfortunately he was really irritated by his amazing mathematical talent.
Arthur scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and said: "About 50! Last time we went to find water, there were about 50 people near the water source. I'm not sure if they have reinforcements..."
The Pumping Queen, Ronnie, had been through many battles and had anticipated this situation. She took the initiative to guess, "There will definitely be reinforcements nearby, because they didn't set up camp near the water source. In other words, their base is somewhere else.
I believe there must be defenders in the base. Conservatively speaking, their total number is no less than 100. But the most fatal thing for us is that we don’t know their specific combat capabilities. ”
[System prompt: It turns out that my family is the winner, I have a good brain! I just had bad luck and guessed wrong, there is only... cough cough cough in their base, please continue the game.]
Hmm? System, did you leak some secret? If you say so...
[System prompt: You heard wrongly, I didn't make any remarks, please continue the game. ]
Instantly, the baron smiled happily and said to the remaining two people in a decisive tone:
"Chuchu, don't worry too much. Their base must be empty! Everyone has been assigned to find water! So their total number is only that many."
Chuchu was displeased: "Where do you get your confidence from? Baron, you use mysterious confidence to make predictions all day long!"
De La Serre smiled evilly: "Isn't this also based on experience? Let's make a bet. If I win, you will sleep with me tonight."
"You damn man...what if you lose?" The Queen Ronnie's face turned slightly red.
"If you lose, I will run naked around the streets of Arthur's Gilly Fortress three times, while shouting "Long live the Emperor Ronnie."
Faced with this bizarre punishment, Chuchu felt both angry and amused, but also felt a little bit of fun, so he agreed:
"Very good, the bet is very big, De La Cel, I see you really tried your best to sleep with me. Well, then let's make a bet, Arthur, you be the witness."
Arthur was not afraid of a big show, but was afraid that it was not exciting enough. He nodded repeatedly and said, "It's a deal! So, De Lacel, how do you need me to cooperate with the troops fighting the Centaurs this time?"
De La Ser thought for a moment and came up with a common battle strategy, saying: "Capture the leader first. There will be a leader among the Centaurs.
At that time, Arthur, you will lead your team to play as the vanguard and attract the opponent's firepower. Chu Chu and I will take advantage of the opportunity to rush in and kill the opposing boss.
Chuchu, you can just shoot crossbows from behind to support me from a distance, and I will do the close combat. I don't want you to get hurt while charging into battle."
[System prompt: Your friendship with the Draw Queen Ronnie +5, currently at 68.]
[Comment: Caring for women and protecting women is always a man's charm. You did a good job. ]
Okay, you don't have to flatter me. If you really stand on my side, system, give me some attribute rewards. It's been a long time since I last saw them.
[Extra rewards: Wisdom +1, Charm +1, All-category weapon proficiency +2. ]
[Comment: As you wish! I did all this so that my family can get less beaten later~]
Damn, after all this time you are still doing this for others, I really... bought a watch last year.
[System prompt: If you have the ability, just curse out that swear word in its entirety, don’t use this embellished form.]
The Baron thought that if he really cursed, the attribute points he had worked so hard to get would be taken back, so he held back his cursing for a while.
Then the baron said: "Well, it is settled. Arthur, you go and prepare the troops. Chuchu and I will follow soon. The trouble with the water source is imminent, so we will set out at once.
Don't be afraid of that damn centaur, maybe it's just its appearance that's intimidating, and maybe its fighting ability is not as high as that of a soldier."
His occasional decisiveness makes Chuchu feel good about him. This is the ideal type of Chuchu Queen Ronnie.
"Okay, Baron. I'll go right away and show you how elite our Nord Kingdom's soldiers are when it comes to fighting. They are absolutely decisive!"
After Arthur answered, he excitedly ran out of the hall to mobilize his troops.
The Queen of Draw, Ronnie, standing aside, said nothing but waited quietly.
"What are you doing in a daze? Are you thinking about what to wear to sleep with me tonight?"
"You! Can you stay serious for a little longer? I really am... De Lassel, how do I know you?" The Queen of Sucks Ronnie was speechless for a moment.
After reorganizing the army, the group finally embarked on this dangerous journey.
The water source not far away was not quiet at this time. The Centaur army that temporarily occupied this place was not as well-watered as imagined.
"Brothers, I say it again. No one is allowed to take water from the water source without my permission. This will affect the ecological environment. Anyone who violates my order will have his head eaten!"
