Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Brook went to the mission officer again to check. Besides basic quests like experience quests and the Demon Soul Hall, there were also battlefield missions issued by the Dragon Guard. The simpler ones involved repairing the camp and escorting supplies. The more difficult ones involved killing a certain number of elite monsters and humanoids, and assisting with camp defense and patrols. However, these relatively easy missions had already been taken. The remaining ones were more difficult and dangerous, like exploring a dangerous area, killing high-level monsters discovered in a certain area, and even the challenging quest of reclaiming a camp that had been occupied by monsters.

These missions all have time limits: some require delivery within three hours, others within a day, three days, a week, or even a month. The more difficult the mission, the longer the deadline. Upon completion, you'll receive rewards from the Imperial Dragon Guard, including honor points, gold ingots, equipment, skill pages, and more. Highly difficult missions even offer rare items like crystals, gems, medals, shields, healing stones, and reincarnation pills.

Honor points can be exchanged for specific titles. Not only can you hide your name, but you can also use honor points to exchange for some supplies, such as jade pendant fragments, formation spirits, experience scrolls, and even crystals.

Brook was tempted by the mission rewards, especially the Reincarnation Pill. Unfortunately, his strength didn't allow him to claim it. High-difficulty missions were typically reserved for teams, often requiring the collaboration of multiple teams. It was impossible to complete them alone. Not to mention he was only at Rank 4, even if he reached Rank 7 like Wenren Tianxiang, it still wouldn't be enough.

As for the mission the commander had assigned to Brook earlier, it was a moderately difficult one, earning him 40 Yuanbao and 40 Honor Points daily. While the rewards were modest, it was a permanent position, so he didn't have to worry about others snatching up his mission. It was a stable job, a good one.

Brook also looked at other skill synthesis, equipment awakening, etc., which are the same as the Dragon Empire, but there is no need to upgrade for the time being.

Brook walked around the city again and lit up all the maps of the main city.

The main city is divided into two parts: the inner and outer cities. The inner city is centered around the Dragon Guard's headquarters, with two incredibly sturdy, towering watchtowers in front. Behind the headquarters is the vortex light portal, and at the very back is the return point to the city, where the Life Magic Fountain is located.

The outer city was built with high walls, with only three exits: left, center, and right. Each exit was guarded by a Dragon Guard encampment, also known as the rear camp. Two watchtowers stood in front of the camps. These towers appeared slightly smaller than those at the main camp, but were equally sturdy. Any approaching monsters would be immediately spotted from the towers.

Brooke wandered around the city until 4 p.m., the sun beginning to dip westward. It was already getting late, so he took the left exit and headed for the left outpost camp.

From the left gate, a straight, wide post road led north. Surrounded by plains, the view was wide and safe. After running for a few minutes, trees began to appear on both sides of the road. The left side was relatively safe, with a line of trees leading to the valley cliffs. However, the trees on the right were very dense, and there was no telling whether there would be any monsters lurking in them.

For safety reasons, Brook walked on the left side and summoned Xiaobai to increase the number of people and strength.

"Master, where is this?" Xiaobai asked.

"Huh? This is the Warcraft battlefield. What's going on?" Brooke was a little surprised. Xiaobai rarely asked questions.

"The magic here is very strong and makes me feel very comfortable."

"Really? But there are some very powerful monsters in this Warcraft battlefield, so you and I both need to be careful. Please keep an eye on the woods on the right, and if you sense any powerful monsters, remember to notify me." Brook instructed.

"Good host."

Xiaobai's senses were sharp. With Xiaobai by his side, Brooke felt much more at ease. Maps he hadn't visited were dark, and he didn't know the coordinates of the outpost camp, so he could only keep running.

Half an hour later, Brooke discovered that the left side of the rock wall had sunken into a large area. Inside was a camp and two watchtowers. The watchtowers had many signs of damage and burning, and one of them was particularly badly damaged. Many people were repairing it.

Brooke thought he had arrived, but when he asked, he found out that this was only the left middle camp. The outpost camp was still ahead.

Brooke had no choice but to keep running. After more than half an hour, a plateau appeared ahead. It was square, several hundred yards long, and surrounded by thick tree trunks, leaving only three exits: front, back, and right. On either side of the exit directly ahead stood a watchtower, a hundred yards apart. More than ten tents were also neatly arranged in the center of the plateau.

This is the outpost camp.

Brook found the captain of the guard, Shen Fang, who was in charge of guarding the camp in the tent in the middle of the camp. He was a slightly fat rank 7 master.

"Captain of the Guard, I am Brook, a 4th-turn monk, and I have come to report on the orders of the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard!" Brook said respectfully.

"The commander-in-chief has already told me. I have assigned you to the nighttime tower guard team. The guard hours are from 6 pm to 6 am. Your main responsibility is to guard the watchtower and eliminate small groups of invading monsters. If the monsters are strong, sound the alarm."

"Yes!"

"Come on, I'll take you to see your captain."

Shen Fang led Brooke out of the central army tent and into another tent nearby. Inside, dozens of monks were lying or sitting. When they saw Shen Fang coming in, they all jumped up and stood straight.

"Wang Tao, this is Brook, the last member of your team." Shen Fang looked at one of them and said, "He is only level 4, so please take good care of him."

"Yes, sir!" Wang Tao answered loudly without looking away.

Shen Fang patted Wang Tao and turned to leave.

Everyone in the tent was staring at Brook. These people were very strong, either at level 5 or level 6. The air was quiet, and Brook felt a little uneasy being stared at.

Wang Tao, the team leader, looked at Brooke expressionlessly for a moment before suddenly speaking: "Frontline teams rarely have cultivators below rank 5 joining. Although our team's duty is to defend the tower, we are also an undisputed frontline unit. Brooke, you are wearing a lucky veil, which shows that you come from a prominent background. However, I don't care which family you come from. Once you arrive at the Warcraft battlefield, you must obey orders and follow commands. Since the captain of the guards asked me to take care of you, I must do so. I don't require you to fight in the battle, I just need you to stay quietly behind the tower and heal us when you have the chance. Do you understand?"

"...Understood." Brooke replied.

"Louder, I can't hear you."

"Yes! I understand!" Brooke said loudly.

Brook didn't like this serious team atmosphere, but since he was here, he could adapt.

"Great! Now, come meet your teammates."

Although Brook was only at rank 4, team leader Wang Tao still carefully introduced all the team members to him. There were no children from aristocratic families or independent cultivators among them; all of them were members of the Dragon Guard.

Qiu Yun, Xin Fei, Lan Die, Qin Ye, Bird, Park Jichang, Jiang Baoshu, Zhao Jianxing, Li Jingming, Brooke, and Wang Tao made up a team of eight men and three women. With four warriors, four mages, and three Taoists, the team was well-balanced. Among them were four sixth-rank cultivators, six fifth-rank cultivators, and one fourth-rank cultivator, Brooke. Wang Tao himself was a sixth-rank cultivator.

"There are still 15 minutes left. Let's take a break." Wang Tao sat down cross-legged. Everyone else also sat or lay down to rest.

After a while, the sounds of fighting could be heard faintly from outside. But Wang Tao and the others didn't react, pretending not to hear anything. They continued to rest. The noise soon died down, but only 10 minutes later, the sounds of fighting began again.

There were about two minutes left until 6 o'clock. Wang Tao finally stood up and said:

"It's almost time, let's go!"

As the team walked out of the tent, they immediately heard the roars of monsters and the whistling of various skills from the exit in front.

When I walked to the front of the watchtower, I saw a large group of monsters rushing up the slope in front of the high ground, including half-beast warriors, Zuma guards, moon spiders, steel-fang spiders, rainbow scorpion guards, bull demon generals, bull demon priests, and electric zombie kings. Behind them were the rainbow demon leader, bull demon king, Huangquan leader, magic dragon general, fire dragon leader, green demon spider, golden-clawed red fox king, jade-faced fox king, snow demon king, ice city emperor, ice palace guardian, and hundreds of other monsters.

These monsters have already engaged in a melee with dozens of monks guarding the exit.

The two watchtowers in front of the exit continuously emit blue flames, and the damage of the flames is as high as 2. Although it is a single attack, the firing rate is very fast. It can shoot out a flame every 1 second, and it can knock down a monster in a few hits.

These monsters all had a lot of HP. Even the weakest half-beast warrior had 3 HP, a hundred times stronger than the half-beast warriors of Marfa Continent with 300 HP.

And those leaders are even stronger. The Rainbow Demon Leader has 20 HP, the Yellow Spring Leader has 25, the Bull Demon King has 30 HP, the Fire Dragon Leader has 180 million, the Green Spider has 410 million, and especially the Ice Palace Guardian, whose HP has reached 1580 million, which is 10 times stronger than that in the Dragon Empire.

Wang Tao stopped and clasped his hands together, showing no intention of going up to help. The rest of the team also stopped and watched quietly, some even yawning and stretching, with a lazy and relaxed look.
