Chapter 129 Dark Invasion

The visitor is the garrison general of Heihe Fortress, Liu An.

That's right, this is not the Afterglow Fortress, but the Black River Fortress further ahead.

In the Death Mountains, there are three fortresses here to resist the enemies pouring out of the mountains.

Black River Fortress is the frontline fortress, and what needs to be guarded in the main mission is the last Afterglow Fortress.

From this point, Zhang Feng can see that the system does not think that players can help local NPCs defend their enemies.

Maybe it won't be long before the Black River Fortress will be captured, and then the entire front will be pushed to the final Afterglow Fortress.

Therefore, he can be sure that if they can defend the Black River Fortress, they will definitely be able to win one or several hidden missions.

But obviously, this is difficult and almost impossible to do.

If Zhang Feng has become a commander or a high-level battlefield summoner, he may be able to do this by relying on the special abilities of his profession.

But now, there should be no solution.

But it was from General Liu An's words that Zhang Feng realized that he had read something wrong.

There are indeed hundreds of people here, and there are indeed many players.

But not all of them are players here, there are also many NPCs.

Their identities here are all mercenaries.

For the sake of a large amount of bounty, people from all over the world gathered here, waiting to face the cruelty of war.

But because there are so many players, I subconsciously think that all players are here.

This also shows how popular the identity of mercenaries is in the minds of players.

As for players who choose other identities, they should receive the same information elsewhere.

"No wonder I haven't seen anyone familiar before. It seems that person didn't choose to be a mercenary."

Zhang Feng was somewhat relieved about this.

When he first arrived here, he looked around and saw no one he knew. He was a little surprised and thought he had memory problems.

Now it seems that the other party is just not here.

General Liu An came over and made a show of force, then took Zhang Feng and his group of mercenaries to a barracks.

Once in the barracks, as mercenaries, they cannot leave at will.

You must have sufficient reasons and approval before you can leave.

This is also the limitation of becoming a mercenary.

"This is a bit unbearable. I still want to find that acquaintance."

Zhang Feng stood at the door of the barracks, looking at the soldiers guarding the door, he couldn't help but mutter.

But there is nothing you can do about it, the choice of identity is like this.

Forget it, he could only sigh softly and wait for another chance to see it again in the future.

Anyway, the main task of mercenaries is to fight, and other players must also go to the battlefield.

We will definitely see players choosing other identities by then.

An Yunfeng was beside him, looking a little unnatural.

There are a bit too many mercenaries here, and players only occupy a very small number.

Therefore, there are extremely few women here, and many mercenaries are fond of these female players, and even start to touch them.

But it is a pity that the players' strength is not something that these ordinary NPCs can resist. Basically, those who do it will have their bones broken immediately, kicked to the edge of the corner and left to wail.

It's just that there are indeed a few ruthless characters in the NPC, whose strength has reached the level of third-level players, and they are better than these female players.

Unfortunately, the players are not alone. They also have teammates and companions. After some wrestling, they naturally win easily.

There are indeed a lot of NPCs, but their strengths are uneven. How can they compare with the group of players who are at least level 2?

Therefore, after a fight, the spheres of influence of the players and NPCs were separated, which seemed to mean that they would never interact with each other until death.

"Don't worry, it's just some ants making noise at your feet."

Zhang Feng comforted An Yunfeng. Just now, she was teased by several mercenaries who seemed to have malicious intentions. She was slapped by two black bears under Zhang Feng's command and her shoulder blades were broken. She was lying next to her wailing.

"It's such a mess here now. When the time comes to go to the battlefield, these guys might use dirty tricks behind our backs."

An Yunfeng frowned and said a little depressed.

"It's normal. War maps basically have this kind of mess. As long as you're careful, it won't be a problem."

Zhang Feng then looked at the mercenaries in the distance and said, "Otherwise, just kill all those guys. It would be good to finish them off in one fell swoop."

An Yunfeng was a little stunned and couldn't imagine that Zhang Feng dared to do this.

But she also had some thoughts in her heart, but finally shook her head: "Forget it, killing them directly will easily attract the attention of other NPCs and cause trouble."

Zhang Feng nodded slightly, no longer obsessed with this matter.

"So, when you went to inquire about the Death Mountain just now, did you find out anything about it?"

An Yunfeng was gossiped about by some mercenaries because he inquired about these things before.

But she did get some information back.

"The fortresses we are in are a country called the Tianhan Empire. Don't look at the fact that General Liu An is an Easterner. In fact, this empire has both Eastern and Western races. It is a powerful country that covers the whole world."

"Because there is only one Tianhan Empire in this world, and all other territories have been swallowed up by [Darkness]."

An Yunfeng's words made Zhang Feng narrow his eyes: "You said...darkness?"

"Yes."

An Yunfeng said in a deep voice, "The Death Mountains are the eastern gateway of the Tianhan Empire, blocking the erosion of darkness."

"And in other parts of the empire, there are other gateways that are also under serious threats."

"But only in the Death Mountains, the situation here is the most serious, and darkness has begun to invade."

"This time the empire sent a large number of troops to enter, and also called on civilian masters from all over the country to voluntarily come to the fortress to garrison and defend against darkness."

"But the main army is still inside the empire to prevent the movement of darkness in other regions."

An Yunfeng's inquiry was very appropriate, allowing Zhang Feng to understand the current background.

It's a pity that not much is known about the situation in the Death Mountains. As for the so-called darkness, it is only known that the other party has a strange black energy.

Dark creatures have a strong tendency to attack, as well as characteristics of cruelty, violence, and fearlessness of life and death.

Levels range from the most common apprentice level to the highest level of the third-level leader-level monsters, all of which are endless.

"There are many bosses and monsters. It's really a good place to gain experience."

Zhang Feng is not afraid of the monsters here. Unless a lord-level boss appears, this is a treasure land for upgrading.

"It seems that you are going to upgrade to the third level in one map this time?"

An Yunfeng, who said this, felt that this was a bit too crazy.

She already knew that Zhang Feng was a newcomer who had just entered the dark game, but after two maps, he was already a second-level player.

And it seems that in this third map, he may become a third-level professional, far ahead of many old players?
