Ryan's Sword

Chapter 243 No.60 The first task of the second act
The two captains explained the joint decision to their respective team members, and the cooperative relationship between the two teams was directly determined during the short assembly period.

Although the attitude of the adventurers is loose, when it comes to tasks, their gathering speed is not slow.

"Everyone, I am the sergeant major of the city guards stationed in this town, Hopeton." Seeing that more than a hundred existing adventurers in Busson Town gradually filled the entire square, two middle-aged officers standing in the center of the crowd Looking at each other, one of them took a step forward and said solemnly: "I think everyone already knows that there is an evil necromancer in the target of this mission. In order to prevent the enemy from infiltrating the city and even spreading the plague of death, we urgently Call everyone to join the defense system, and then my adjutant Levins and the local sheriff will arrange specific defense replacement tasks for you, please go to the side to register in turn as a team."

While Sergeant Major Hopeton was speaking, the adventurers below were still noisy, especially when they heard that they were going to participate in the town's defense change, their voices of dissatisfaction suddenly became louder.

If this kind of situation happened inside the army, then these guys would definitely not be able to run away with a whip.But now, the adventurers are dissatisfied, but none of them blatantly violated the order. They just complained in small groups and went to the desks that had been set up to register, which made the faces of the two officers in charge of the work turn pale. Iron blue, but can't find an excuse to attack.

There is no way, the officers of the city guard who also only have the strength of the iron rank can't suppress so many monkey-spirited adventurers, they can only watch them show their dissatisfaction within the scope allowed by the rules.

Generally speaking, the relationship between adventurers and employers is not like this. One pays and the other contributes. The employment of both parties comes from each taking what they need, and there is no need to make the relationship too rigid.However, this time, the military deliberately concealed the content of the mission. The adventurers who were attracted by the bounty were not fools. After discovering that the mission and the content were too different, it was certain that they would feel resentful.

The reason for this situation is well known to both sides, so the military, which has always been strong, took a rare step back and threatened the adventurers in order to use the name of the mission.

Although there were quite a few adventurers present, Ian and Blue-Eyed Bee came earlier and occupied a much higher position, and it was their turn to register after a while.

"Venomous Bee Squad, Ian Squad..." Relying on the identity plates of the two, the somewhat bald adjutant Levins quickly found their respective registration information. He couldn't help frowning, showing dissatisfaction, and said: "Master Hopton just said that the registration is done by team unit. Which of your two teams will come first?"

Maybe it was because Ian looked too young, the balding middle-aged officer directly skipped over, and turned his gaze full of question marks to the more reliable Blue-Eyed Bee.The latter exchanged colors with Ian with searching eyes, and immediately said: "Master officer, our two teams are currently in a joint operation state, you can just treat us as a medium-sized team and arrange it."

Undisciplined, free and undisciplined.

"Oh? That's how it is..."

This disgusting word appeared in his mind, and Adjutant Levins responded noncommittally, and asked the sheriff who was writing next to him to record the situation of the two teams.

The adjutant who encountered the unexpected incident thought about it distressedly, and just when Ian felt that some of his few hairs might fall off, he suddenly raised his brows and said, "In this case, I am here There just happens to be a task suitable for the configuration of a medium-sized team for you."

Suddenly there was an ominous premonition in her heart, and the blue-eyed bee glanced at Ian from the corner of her eye. Seeing that he didn't respond, she had no choice but to continue to deal with it: "My lord, please tell me, what is the mission?"

Seeing that the seasoned adventurer in front of him cooperated well, Levins' face softened a little, and without ink stains, he immediately explained in detail: "There is an abandoned sewer exit in the north of the town, but the underground water channel and the moat there They are connected and not sealed. Now is a special period, and we are worried that the enemy will use that secret passage, so please go and investigate there, and put the plague potion provided by the Temple of Light at the source there."

"Uh, this mission..."

"Any questions?"

Seeing that the blue-eyed bee hesitated for a while, the old god Levins, who had finished his statement, leaned back on the chair, and asked back quite complacently.What he was thinking in his mind was that you are the ones who make your own decisions and insist on joint action, and this kind of drudgery is just suitable for a medium-sized team with sufficient manpower. If you don't do it, who will give it to you?
"I have a few questions, my lord," Ian, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth. However, he did not refuse or question, but asked in a calm tone: "How big is the scope of this mission that needs to be explored? The water sources that need to be released How many? Is there a specific time limit?"

"Uh, this..." Faced with Ian's series of questions, Levins' face darkened, but after thinking about it, he found that the other party's questions were all on point, and they were not pretentious or unreasonable.After thinking for a while, he immediately said: "I don't know the specific terrain of the sewers, but the scope of investigation is probably not small. As for the underground water sources at the connection nodes, generally speaking, there are no less than four, four in the town. There is at least one in each direction."

"Well, I'll give you three days to investigate first, and make arrangements after three days depending on the situation. How about it? Are there any questions?"

"Without my lord, we have taken over this task."

Ian nodded sharply and the middle-aged adjutant couldn't help but take another look at him. This kind of decisive style left him with a new impression of the somewhat too young adventure captain in front of him.

The sheriff of Busson Town who acted as a helper quickly completed the registration according to the content of the conversation between the two parties. Ian and his party immediately left the team and followed the city guard soldiers who led the way to the military supply office in the station to receive the items and props needed for the mission.

On the way, the blue-eyed bee couldn't bear the puzzlement in her heart, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ian, in fact, if we insist, the officer should agree to change the mission for us, why are you..."

"Brother Blue-Eyed Bee, this task may not be easy to do, and there may even be some unknown dangers, but at least we can have enough autonomy," Ian also lowered his voice, explaining: "What's more, this task Here, the military's bounty is not easy to earn, and those teams that join the town defense system may not be safer than us, on the contrary, the unknown environment underground may be more suitable for adventurers like us."
