157 Chapter 157 reached a tacit understanding
Meng Jingtian didn’t know that he had misled countless players. After setting up a few barriers, he heard a panic outside the temple.
The black dragon country’s bandit-exterminating army had gone up the mountain.
At this moment, Jiang Chen wasn’t as panicked as before. He looked at Meng jingtian calmly and said, “God Meng, I’m counting on you to protect me!”
“What are the conditions for completing the mission?”Meng Jingtian asked as they walked out of the temple.
“Resisting the army’s attack for 30 minutes. The damage to the stronghold is less than 50% !”Jiang Chen replied.
“Chief, Chief! There are 1,000 archers in the anti-bandit army. They killed many of our brothers before they reached the trap we set!”
“Chief! The anti-bandit Army has set off rockets! What should we do?”
As soon as the two walked out of the temple, a few bandits ran over to report to Jiang Chen.
“F * ck! This is a F * CKING mission. Just now, I lost 10 People!”Jiang Chen looked at the chaos in the village and couldn’t help but wipe his sweat.
“Chief! Wang ergou, who was defending on the left side, has escaped with a group of underlings!”
“Chief! The Scouts of the exterminating bandit army have removed more than half of the traps at the front door!”
The panicked shouts of the bandits spread from all directions in the village, causing Jiang Chen to feel a headache and a fever. His expression also fell.
Based on the situation, he would be taught a lesson by the army of the Black Dragon Country in just one exchange.
“Go and put out the fire first! Those who dare to escape, don’t show mercy. Kill them directly!”Jiang Chen roared and commanded.
Then, he looked at Meng jingtian pitifully, “God Meng...”
“I’ll go and take a look. Don’t worry, we still have reinforcements,”Meng Jingtian comforted him.
Then, he walked to the gate of the stronghold and went up to an arrow tower beside the gate.
Five thousand strong wind battalion soldiers, infantrymen, spearmen, and archers were all in place.
Under the command of Jin Hong, the soldiers divided their work in an orderly manner and moved smoothly. At a glance, it was a dense black mass that directly surrounded the entire dusk stronghold.
The traps and defensive fortifications that Jiang Chen had set up outside were like mud, and they were directly pushed down by the bandit army until they reached the front gate of the stronghold.
Cries of grief filled the stronghold. Before the bandit army could attack, the bandits under Jiang Chen were scared out of their wits.
When Jin Hong saw that they had pushed all the way to the front gate of the stronghold, he ordered the soldiers to build ladders, throw ropes and hooks, and ram into the stronghold gate.
However, before they could even touch the stronghold’s entrance and the fences around it, two defensive barriers were activated due to their attack.
Two rays of colorful light flashed past, and the two layers of defensive barriers were like a rainbow of light covering the sunset stronghold.
“This small stronghold actually has a god’s favor?”When Jin Hong saw this, his face turned pale and he couldn’t help but cry out in shock.
Gods could be worshipped by anyone, but it was hard to say who the gods would respond to and who they would favor.
Other than cities that would definitely receive the protection of the gods they worshipped, other towns and villages, even if they were worshipped, the gods would not necessarily care.
This dusk stronghold was only at the village level. Furthermore, it was a nest of bandits. Logically speaking, there was absolutely no reason for the gods to favor them!
After he cried out in surprise, Jin Hong suddenly thought of something. His expression froze, and he turned his head to look around.
“Lord God!”When he saw Meng Jingtian standing on the Arrow Tower next to the entrance of the stronghold, he was in a daze and almost fell off his horse.
Being blessed by a god was one thing, but being personally visited by a god was another.
Now, he was standing on the opposite side of a god. He was a little flustered!
Even though the god he worshipped was not Meng Jingtian, no matter what, standing on the opposite side of any god was definitely courting death!
“Please forgive me, Lord God. It is indeed heaven’s will that made it difficult for us to attack the stronghold!”Jin Hong shouted at Meng Jingtian from afar.
Meng Jingtian naturally knew how difficult it was to defy Heaven’s will. It wasn’t the emperor’s “Heaven’s will”, but the game system’s Heaven’s will!
Since Jiang Chen’s stronghold wanted to level up, he had to pass the test of this quest. This was a problem set by the system’s rules. How could a small NPC defy it?
“I naturally know the fate of heaven. Rest assured and attack the stronghold. I Won’t hold a grudge!”Meng Jingtian smiled, leaned against the edge of the Arrow Tower, and shouted at Jin Hong.
“How Godly! This is simply repaying a grudge with kindness!”Jin Hong was moved when he heard this, and he shed tears of gratitude.
He had heard countless rumors. Someone had accidentally offended the divine statue in the temple, and he was sent a divine punishment to teach him a lesson. It was truly tragic!
Today, he stood on the opposite side of the god. He did not expect the god to not blame him at all.
“Ding! Jin Hong’s friendliness towards you has increased by 9!”
After a few sentences, Jin Hong’s attitude had completely changed.
Originally, he was aggressive and wanted to destroy this mountain stronghold. Now, the other party had the protection of the god, so what was the point of destroying it!
With the mission, he had no choice but to do it. In that case, he could only drag the water and put on an act.
Therefore, when Huang Shang brought a group of gang members to help, he saw a black mass of bandit-suppressing soldiers mechanically attacking the two layers of defensive barrier in front of him. This bandit-suppressing force did not have any passion at all.
When he realized that there was a team coming up behind him, Jin Hong’s spirit was lifted. He was about to call his men to fight, however, he heard Meng Jingtian’s leisurely voice from the arrow tower, “Those are my friends, not bandits. It has nothing to do with your mission. Let them in!”
As soon as Meng Jingtian said that, Jin Hong had no choice but to put down the command flag and ask the soldiers to let them in.
Under the watchful eyes of the Bandits, Huang Shang and the others smoothly walked in through the opened gate of the stronghold.
Then, the gate closed and the bandit-suppressing army outside continued to attack the enchantment. The inside and outside of the gate seemed to be two separate worlds that did not interfere with each other.
“D * MN! Brother Tian, is this why you asked us to help?”Huang Shang asked Meng Jingtian uncomfortably as he was stared at by the bandits.
At this moment, the chaotic situation in the mountain stronghold had long subsided. The fire had also been extinguished and all the escaping bandits had been killed. The remaining bandits seemed to have nothing to do in the face of the bandit suppression army that was still attacking the barrier.
Huang Shang and the others were not the only ones who were dumbfounded. These bandits who had nothing to do were also dumbfounded.
Didn’t they say that the imperial court wanted to suppress the bandits? This was called... suppressing the bandits?
...
It was really not worth it for the companions who had escaped just now. They had died in vain!
“I didn’t expect this mission to be so simple. After all, it is a large village’s leveling up mission. I thought it would be quite difficult. I couldn’t take care of everything by myself, so I called for your help first.”Meng Jingtian shrugged, he said with an innocent look.
“Who knew that the NPC leading the other side had a 90-point friendliness toward me. After two sentences, we reached a tacit understanding!”
“A tacit understanding!”Huang Shang and Jiang Chen’s lips twitched. How the F * ck could this be possible?
They also wanted to “Reach a tacit understanding”with the quest BOSS when they were doing the quest!
“Come, come, come! We have to wait for half an hour! Since we are already here, let’s not leave yet. In case you come in and out, won’t you give some face to the bandit army? “This is what Jiang Chen found from the mountain stronghold treasury. Let’s play a few rounds first!”Meng Jingtian beckoned Huang Shang to sit down in the gathering righteousness hall, he pushed a mahjong path on the table.
