Me and my fantasy world

"I heard from Leo that the spoils can be exchanged for currency at the guild's front desk after the crusade is over. It is mainly used to prove that you have killed a monster. This is also the main means for adventurers to make a living."

'But I don't know much about the concept of currency here. Alice introduced that the general living expenses and income here are similar to those in my previous country. It's about 1 miscellaneous coin is equal to 1 yuan. There are also different currencies here, from low to high, there are miscellaneous coins, copper coins, silver coins, gold coins, platinum coins, five currencies, and their conversion rate is 100.'

'That is to say, 1 platinum coin is equal to 100 gold coins, 1 gold coin is equal to 100 silver coins, and so on. Then, let's calculate the concept of 1 miscellaneous coin equals 1 dollar. It seems that Alice's annual tuition is 1 gold coin, which is 1 million miscellaneous coins, equal to 100 million? My God, no wonder they say that one gold coin can buy a house, which school is so expensive! '

"Besides, a goblin loot is worth 5 yuan, and now it has appreciated to 50 yuan. There are tens of thousands of goblins. If we wipe them all out, won't it cause inflation? Who came up with this idea?"

"But when it comes to money, everyone's enthusiasm really rises a lot. Compared with boring speeches, it seems that the mention of money can arouse everyone's enthusiasm more. This is true. It has not changed in the world."

……

Many adventurers quickly came to the city gate, ready to open it at any time to fight the goblin army, but Lingyi looked at the gate with some confusion.

Zero One used the Eye of the Dragon God to see the situation outside through the gate, but he could only see rows of thick smoke. He couldn't see the situation on the battlefield at all. He needed a wider field of vision. It happened that Zero One's team was arranged on the left side, so they could climb up the stairs on the left to the city wall.

Thinking of this, Lingyi immediately set off, but just as he took a step, he was pulled back by Li Si: "What are you doing, waiting here."

"No, why don't you judge the specific situation, the enemy's deployment pattern, the composition of the attacking team..." Lingyi said, but was interrupted by Li Si.

"Do you think you are the commander? There is only one South Gate Guard here. We are just ordinary adventurers, at best soldiers. What else do you want?" Li Si warned Lingyi and pulled Lingyi to his side to prevent Lingyi from wandering around. "Hurry up and stay here."

Lingyi looked at the city wall again, but then looked at Li Si. He seemed helpless and had to wait for others to give orders.

As Li Si was speaking, an elderly man came to the city wall and looked down at the adventurers.

He had a shaggy, long beard that covered his neck like a snow-white scarf. He wore light armor, and his bloated belly could be seen from the side. He looked at the adventurers under the city wall with some disdain.

"Everyone, the life and death of Nordtown is entrusted to you at this moment. There are about a thousand goblins outside the city rushing towards the city wall. I hope you can work for Nord and don't let down this mother city that brings you stable income and residence." The old man's voice was very loud and could be heard even from the city wall.

After the old man finished speaking, the city gate slowly opened, and thick smoke was seen rising in the distance, as if something was rushing towards him at a rapid speed.

"Go, adventurers of Nordtown, sacrifice your lives for peace, for everything in Nordtown!" The old man raised his hands high and cheered. All the adventurers cheered at almost the same time and rushed out the door together. Only Zero One stayed there in a daze, looking at the old man on the city wall who was pretending to be hypocritical.

"Let's go, let's go, Xueyan has started." Leo urged from the side, and Lingyi finally came to his senses and rushed out the door.

"Little...Xueyan, what were you thinking just now?" Alice asked Lingyi beside her. She was a little bit unable to adapt for a moment and almost called Lingyi's name like Leo did.

Lingyi glanced at Alice, then looked back at Leo, and finally glanced at the old man on the wall and shook his head: "No, I just feel that the old man's words are stupid, and they don't sound like words to boost morale before the war."

Zero One and Three were the last to run out of the city wall. After they ran out, the city gate closed again. The old man stood on the city wall and looked out, observing the adventurers under the city wall, each of them setting up their own camps and rushing towards the goblins coming from all directions in the distance.

At this time, a guard came to the old man's side, bowed and saluted, "Captain of the Guard, those are not ordinary goblins, they are goblin cavalry, and there are as many as 3,000 of them. They seem to be trying to test our city defenses. Should we notify the adventurers first, and then..."

Before the soldier could finish his words, a long sword suddenly appeared in the old man's hand. He cut the soldier's neck, and blood gushed out, and he fell backwards.

The guards on the wall stared at the old man blankly, but the old man said calmly: "What are you looking at? Are you showing mercy to those desperate criminals? They are all scrambling for money. Let them do whatever they want. If we give them support, they will regard the bodies we shot as their own and take the spoils to exchange for the guild. If any of you are kind enough to give them money, why not give me some?"

After hearing this, everyone turned around blankly and stared at the goblins outside the city again.

"And don't forget that this time the 3,000-man vanguard is here to investigate our city defenses. We should reveal as little as possible. This is a good way to kill two birds with one stone."

……

As the city gates closed, Lingyi's ominous premonition once again lingered in his mind. He stopped and looked at the closed city wall behind him with some confusion.

After seeing this, Leo and Alice also stopped and looked back in surprise: "Come on, Xueyan, what's wrong?" Leo asked puzzledly.

"No, I always feel something is wrong. Why are they closing the gate?" Lingyi pointed at the city gate in confusion.

"Maybe they're afraid that goblins will bypass us and attack us. Let's hurry up. Brother Li Si is not waiting for us." Leo said, and without saying a word, he grabbed Lingyi's arm and rushed into the crowd.

Lingyi didn't think much about it and followed the large group all the way to an open space a hundred meters away from the city gate. There was a small mound here and all the adventurers stood in a long line, staring at the smoke in the distance.

Leo and Lingyi quickly came behind Li Si. Seeing Lingyi and the other two coming, Li Si quickly made way for them and let Lingyi and the other two get in front of them: "You three are finally here, hurry up, hurry up and take your seats."

"Sorry, Brother Li." Leo said, pulling Lingyi and hurriedly coming to Li Si.

Li Si's team was on the left wing of the long line, and the lion-demon was also beside Zero One. Standing next to the lion-demon, Zero One looked a little petite, but Zero One did not focus too much attention on his side.

"I declare the battle begun. Each group is free to act. The spoils of war will be kept by each individual. No mistakes are allowed!" A male roar came from the center of the long snake formation.

Lingyi felt very strange when he heard this order. It seemed like a battle, so how could they act freely? Wouldn't that mean they would be like a group of dragons without a leader?

Moreover, Lingyi was also very confused about the team arrangement of his team. Lingyi and Leo stood in the front row, Alice assisted them, Li Si was in the center commanding, Awang was responsible for the two wings of the team, Tal and Phil were in the back row for output, and Axiang was at the last position, responsible for the defense.

This arrangement made Zero One feel very strange at first. If they were heading into the forest for an exploration mission or while marching, this formation would work. But now that they were facing a powerful enemy and the two forces were facing off head-on, how could they use such a formation?

Moreover, Lingyi also had doubts about the information the old man had told him, because with only a thousand people, could a sudden attack create such thick smoke and dust that was enough to cover their bodies and make them impossible to detect?

Zero One sensed something was wrong and immediately used the Eye of the Dragon God to check. Through the smoke and dust, Zero One saw rows of goblins on horses, holding spears in their hands and galloping towards Zero One.

Lingyi immediately realized something was wrong and shouted to the people around him, "No! We can't fight alone! Form a dense formation in a circle, with the adventurers holding shields on the periphery to protect the output positions!"

"Who do you think you are! Do you still want me to take the lead?" Ah Xiang immediately realized that Lingyi was targeting him in disguise, and he was the first to take the lead in opposing it.

"Zero One, obey orders, you are not the commander." Li Si also glared at Zero One, telling him not to act rashly.

Lingyi looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him. He clenched his teeth and pounded his knees hard: "Xueyan, did you find something?" For the first time, Leo asked Lingyi calmly and did not call the wrong name.

"They are not goblins, but goblin cavalry. Our long snake formation can be easily dispersed by them. We should form a dense formation to contain them, and cooperate with the bows and arrows on the city wall and the back row output in the town to completely wipe them out." Lingyi said calmly, "Goblins can only use simple equipment at best, and cannot sweep like heavy cavalry. Lightweight and flexible are their characteristics, so as long as we contain the cavalry's first attack, we can counterattack."

"What you said makes sense, but you are not the commander here." The lion-man beside him also heard Lingyi's analysis, "Adventurers on the battlefield are like this, you must remember this."

"But in this way, we will be exhausted by their constant harassment and eventually defeated!" Lingyi questioned the Lion Demi-human.

The Lion-Man glanced at Lingyi and continued to look into the distance: "We are abandoned pawns. Don't you see that there are not even archers on the city wall?"

"What..." Lingyi was still a little unconvinced. He turned around and found that there was not a single bow and arrow on the wall of Nord Town. All the guards stood straight in a row, looking at the city like tourists watching a play.

The lion-man glanced at the city wall with disdain, then drew his long sword from his waist: "An adventurer should live like an adventurer. The one who survives to the end is the winner. Your information is very sincere. Thanks to you, I understand that we are facing a group of cavalry instead of infantry."

As the lion-man spoke, his eyes turned cold, and then he roared loudly and rushed towards the goblin at full speed.

"Kill!" A man's roar came from the center of the formation, and all the adventurers rushed out together, rushing towards the oncoming goblins.

Leo also rushed out quickly, but stopped when he saw Lingyi standing there in a daze: "Xueyan, hey! Let's go!" Leo shouted.

Lingyi clenched his fists and kept hesitating: "Xueyan! What's wrong with you! Make way!" Li Si said impatiently and kicked Lingyi on the waist.

But at the moment when Li Si raised his leg to kick, Lingyi's body was wrapped in a layer of bright blue light, which protected Lingyi's body like a barrier and bounced Li Si's leg away.

Li Si actually bounced all the way from the front of the team to the back. Fortunately, Ah Xiang caught Li Si with his shield, otherwise Li Si would have to roll for a long time. Ah Xiang was furious and shouted, "Xue Yan! What are you doing!"

"I want to ask you what you want to do!" Lingyi turned his head and looked at Li Si and Ah Xiang from the side, then looked at Leo and said, "Leo, if you want to survive, follow my rhythm and don't mess with them."

"You! You are going too far!" Li Si said, and immediately stood up and rushed towards Lingyi with big strides.

When Li Si came in front of Lingyi, he grabbed Lingyi's neck with one hand, but Lingyi appeared two meters away from Li Si without anyone noticing. No one saw how Lingyi floated over.

Seeing Leo looking at himself and Li Si in a dilemma, Lingyi asked, "Leo, you believe me, but you also believe him."

"I..." Leo looked at Leo and Li Si again with complicated expressions, as if he was making his final struggle.
