Let's suffer a little longer, fellow Blue Star folks.

If we march again tonight, can everyone hold on?

"Everyone……"

The young man was just about to say a few words to boost morale when he saw two armored figures walking out of the woods nearby and then stopped on the road in front of them.

"alert!"

The person walking in front shouted, and everyone started moving quickly.

The people holding large shields and those holding guns immediately retreated, surrounding the supplies and the boy in the middle.

The first few people immediately raised their guns and aimed at the two people who suddenly appeared to block the road.

"Who are you?" Uncle Wu immediately walked to the front of the team and asked loudly, while his eyes kept wandering back and forth between the two of them.

Are they bandits?

Or is it the sentry post of Fangjia Village?

[Secret Hamburger] looked at the refugee group in front of him who instantly entered a state of alert, and immediately made a French military salute, then shouted loudly: "Don't be nervous, we are the defenders of the Yunshan River trading point, and we have no bad intentions."

Xia Shu, who was standing next to him, followed suit and raised his hands as well, taking a look at the group of refugees in front of him.

These people reacted pretty quickly.

And she only just realized that nearly a third of them were equipped with a large dark shield.

Good guy.

If this were a hostile force, Phantom Tank would probably be grinning from ear to ear.

Seeing no response from the other party, [Secret Hamburger] took two steps forward and continued, "Further ahead is the area controlled by our Yunshanhe Trading Point. Please explain your purpose."

The middle-aged man immediately raised his eyebrows.

Yunshanhe trading point?

Wasn’t this the territory of Fangjia Village before?

'Trading Point'? Is that a new name for some bandit gang?

"We are from Mujingbao, Shaling Town, and hope to pass through to Fangjia Village." Uncle Wu still reported the origin of his group.

Since the other party did not attack them immediately, he still hoped to pass through here smoothly without any unnecessary complications.

"Going to Fangjia Village?"

[Secret Mini Burger] blinked.

Are these people colluding with Fangjia Village?

So they are really hostile forces?

He and Xia Shu walked forward a few more steps until they stopped about ten meters in front of the group of people, then stopped again.

Now he could finally see the appearance and makeup of these people clearly.

These people do have some characteristics of refugees, such as being dusty, tired, and wearing tattered clothes.

But overall, they are more like professional armed forces.

Standard firearms and shields, nearly half of the people wearing full armor, and a high degree of discipline. This is not the configuration that an ordinary refugee team can come up with.

"What are you doing in Fangjia Village? Something happened there some time ago, and now they don't accept refugees from outside." [Secret Hamburger] looked at Uncle Wu standing behind the big shield and said calmly.

As he got closer, he could finally see the gun barrels pointed at him.

If this happened on Blue Star, he would probably be so panicked that he would be speechless.

But when I think about it, it’s just a game, and if I die, I die, so I suddenly become bolder.

"Actually, we're here to seek help from the Yunhe Army."

The young man finally walked over from the team, and then the two large shield soldiers in the front row slightly opened their shields to leave a gap of half a person's width, so that the young man could see the two people in the distance clearly.

"Ten days ago, our Mujing Fort was besieged by demons, and the rebels also attacked Shaling Town through a gap in the border."

"The Shaling Army is currently struggling to take care of itself, and the surrounding towns and villages are also struggling, so we can only come to Yunhe Town to seek help."

It must be said that the boy's thinking was quite clear, and his speaking speed was neither fast nor slow, and his pronunciation was also very clear. The two players immediately understood the general cause and effect.

Obviously, it’s a mission!

And judging from the looks of it, this isn't just an ordinary mission, it's a large-scale military mission!!

If these two corps can take on this task, they may be able to be promoted to the second-level corps first and become a true T0 corps!

"Because my father has a history with the village chief of Fangjia Village, we plan to go to Fangjia Village first to seek help," the young man continued. "So, can you two briefly tell me what happened in Fangjia Village?"

"Emmm... This is a long story." [Secret Hamburger] organized the words in his mind.

"To put it simply, the village chief of Fangjia Village has been possessed by a demon. Now the entire village has been taken over by the Yunhe Army. They will not be receiving outsiders for a while."

"This……"

When Uncle Wu heard the news, he was stunned on the spot.

"How about this, if you are willing to trust us, you can come to our trading point to rest for a night. It is only five or six kilometers away from here, and there are many refugees from Shaling Town staying with us." [Secret Hamburger] said with a smile.

"We can also discuss in detail the matter of sending troops to assist when the time comes."

Chapter 258 It’s broken, the cat is not clean anymore

The boy did not agree immediately, but turned to look at Uncle Wu beside him.

He knew very little about the situation in Yunhe Town, and had never heard of this "Yunshanhe Trading Point", so he naturally couldn't make any rash judgments.

Seeing the boy's gaze, Uncle Wu shook his head slightly.

"I haven't heard of this gathering place."

Perhaps guessing the group's concerns, Xia Shu added a sentence.

"Our leader has the strength of the late Xuan level, and has even killed a high-level late-stage demon head-on. He can definitely protect your safety."

What I mean is that if we want to take action against you, we won't have to resort to these conspiracies and tricks, so you can rest assured.

"Okay, then we'll bother you for one night." The young man nodded slightly.

He could see that these two people wanted to take them to this trading point, probably for some other purpose.

But what they just said about Fangjia Village should be true.

So if they rejected the invitation of these two people now, they would really have to walk to Yunhe Town.

This journey of 200 miles would take most people three days, or even four or five days, as they would be exhausted both physically and mentally.

If his request for help fails and he is unable to meet with the top leaders of Yunhe Town immediately, and the time is delayed for another day or two, then everything may be too late.

"Okay, then you report the ratio of personnel in the team, and I will ask the people at the trading point to arrange a base for you." Xia Shu looked at the young man and said with a smile.

When I got closer to her, I realized that the boy was so cute~

Although he still looked like a child, he was wearing armor, holding a gun half the height of a person, and had a serious expression on his face.

He even lowered his voice deliberately to make himself look more mature.

It just hit her cute spot perfectly!

When they found that these people did not attack Lao Ba and Xia Shu, the other players who were ambushing not far away had no reason to attack, but they could still expose their presence, so the communication venue was instantly moved online.

Investigating the Cat Family

Fujiwara Tofu Shop: We've already dealt with Yang Guang's people. What about your people? Haven't you dealt with them yet?

He Dou Bi Bi: Lao Ba and Xia Shu are negotiating, and it seems that there is no need to take action at the moment.

Uncle Benz: Was it resolved peacefully? Are they a group of good people?

Secret Hamburger: Not sure, but they are willing to go back to the trading point with us, so we won’t do anything for now and wait and see how things develop.

Xia Shu: I think these people in Mujing Castle must have a mission, and it’s a big one.

Xia Shu: Did you see the mini-leader model? The team must have put a lot of thought into it! I think we can help them fight demons and rebels!

Xia Shu: It would be even better if we could let them stay at our trading post in the end!

Flying Sanduo: Uh... if you like someone’s looks, you can just say it.

Next, [Secret Hamburger] briefly told the group what the boy had told him, while Xia Shu sneaked to the front of Mujingbao's team and started looking for the boy to confirm the team information.

"24 adult men and 1 child under 12 years old..."

Xia Shu immediately entered this information into the private chat input box with Maomao, and then looked at the boy again.

"is that OK."

"Yeah." The young man nodded.

"So, little leader, what's your name?" After Xia Shu sent the message, she looked at the boy with a smile, "My sister's name is Xia Shu. You can just call me Sister Xia Shu."

"My name is Song Zheng."

The boy looked at Xia Shu, who was no more than a meter away from him, and still moved half a step to the side.

He was still not used to having someone he didn't know so close to him.

However, he could see that Xia Shu really wanted to chat with him, so he asked tentatively:

"Did your gathering place just recently build here? The name of the Yunshan River trading point doesn't seem to be on our map."

"Yes."

Xia Shu nodded, then curled up his index finger on his right hand and began to explain.

"Because when Fangjia Village was in trouble before, our gathering place helped the Yunhe Army a lot, so we asked Yunhe Town to build a trading point here, which can be regarded as replacing the role of Fangjia Village before."

After all, before the war, the highway connecting the three towns of Shaling, Yunhe and Jiaoqiu was built along the south side of Yunshan Mountain, so this place is considered the main transportation route of the three towns.

The previous Fangjia Village was vaguely considered to be the gathering place for Yunhe Town to guard this road, so the demon chose to possess Fang Ming's body.

After problems arose in Fangjia Village, the Yunshan River gathering place naturally became the best choice.

Not to mention that Tang Yi also wanted to build a trading point near the main road, which would be more in line with the needs of Yunhe Army.

"That's it."

Song Zheng nodded as if he suddenly understood.

"Are you locals from Yunhe Town?"

"We?" Xia Shu blinked, then smiled and shook his head, "We are not locals. We came from far, far away..."

As the people from Mujing Fort and the elite troops of two corps set out on their return journey, Xia Shu and Song Zheng began to exchange information. The sky, which had originally been a little orange, completely darkened.

The stars that were originally just faintly visible now fill the night sky, really like a long Milky Way stretching into the distance.

It was time for most players to log off, and the three novice villages that had been bustling all day finally became quiet.

At this time, the forum has reached its busiest time of the day.

In particular, a piece of super-breaking news appeared in the forum and was pinned to the top by the administrator at the first time.

The first auction of killing rights for high-level late-stage demons in the game! Will be held at the Yunshanhe Chamber of Commerce!

Maimen Yongsheng: First!

Rice dumplings are more delicious: Wait, why is this post pinned to the top even though it was posted by Maomao?!

Alps: That's right. Previously, the forum only pinned posts about version updates, but this time they made a special exception for Maomao. Could it be that he and the forum administrator have some shameful affair...

Babatos: Oh no, the cat is not clean anymore.

Turn into light to protect all cats: Huh?

Phosphorus Pentoxide: No? What are you auctioning? The right to kill a high-level, late-stage demon? Where did you get that?

Phantom Tank: For details, please see our post documenting the first Corps mission, which contains the detailed course of events.

Lemon: I'm a college student. Can you send it to me? I can pay for the postage.

Baileys: Turtle, this is a high-level late-stage demon. How many levels can it reach? Can we auction it online?

Turn into light to protect all cats: @Bailisweet, when can I pick up the goods?

Baileys: Our convoy has just left the trading post and it will probably be several days before we arrive.
