Part-time BOSS

Murphy looked at the five highland swordsmen in front of him. The five highland warriors were very satisfied. Although the two-handed swords of the highland swordsmen were not as good as the giant swords, they were still quite intimidating.

The highland warriors all have powerful beards and carry tomahawks with both hands. They look very brave.

To attack the bandit's stronghold this time, powerful melee troops will definitely be needed.

He didn't use up all his command power. There would be no shortage of those second-level soldiers anyway, and they could be replenished at any time. It was only right to grab the third-level soldiers first.

Murphy's current command value is as high as 65 points.

(20 charm = 20 command power, 300 reputation = 15 command power, prince status = 20 command power, guardian knight + 10 command power.)

After removing the eleven third-level soldiers, there are still thirty-two free people.

However, before deciding what to bring with the remaining troops, you still need to study the configuration of troops needed to attack the bandit stronghold.

Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Knight Roland, do you have any experience in clearing bandit strongholds? How do those so-called bandit fortresses compare with those built on the border of the kingdom?"

Roland (vassal knight): "Bandits are not difficult to deal with, but it will be more troublesome if they hide in their strongholds. Bandit fortresses are generally simple cottages built of wood. Of course, they are not as good as regular military fortresses, but because bandit fortresses They are generally built in mountains and are not easy to attack. The reason why there are so many bandit strongholds in the kingdom that have not been eradicated is because it is too difficult to attack them from the front."

Murphy was a little surprised when he heard it. If his brother named Sigret said it, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now that Roland said so, it seems that things are indeed a bit tricky.

Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Oh, why is it so hard?"

Roland (vassal knight): "Let me talk about a bandit stronghold that I attacked before."

Knight Roland said as he drew a simple map on the ground.

Roland (vassal knight): "Most bandit strongholds are built in the mountains or in places with difficult terrain, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack. For example, the bandit fortress I attacked was surrounded by steep cliffs, and there was only one path to go up the mountain. , the bandits built several arrow towers on this side near the passage, and also installed two ballistae. Once attacked, a large number of crossbowmen will be stationed in the arrow towers, plus the two ballistae, all the way up the mountain. Almost all are within the enemy's long-range strike range.

Facing the ballistae, even the heavily armored troops would suffer a heavy blow.

You will continue to lose troops along the way, but this is not the biggest problem.

The bandit fortress has a gate, which is built of solid logs and is very strong. It will take a lot of time to destroy the gate, and the troops will suffer a lot of casualties in the process.

Unless a large number of elite troops are mobilized, or have air support, or have siege weapons, ordinary infantry attacks will suffer heavy losses.

"Can I use magic?"

"No, the range of magic is not as good as that of bows and arrows, not to mention that the enemy has an arrow tower to increase the range."

Murphy frowned, and he also saw the problem. The bandit fortress is a simplified version of the castle. It uses terrain and city walls to create terrain that is conducive to defense. Most enemies can be eliminated by remote output alone.

This is very similar to how when he played Age of Empires, he would create a large number of wall blocks and terrain, and then use long-range troops to buy computer troops for free.

It's just that now the person who was prostituted for free has become herself.

Aidan (Prince of Alterac): "Are all bandit strongholds so difficult to attack?"

Roland (vassal knight): "Not really. After all, this kind of desired terrain is not available everywhere. There are also some bandit fortresses built in plain areas. Such strongholds are easier to attack, and the strength of the bandits in the bandit fortress is also high. They are all uneven. Some bandit fortresses have powerful leaders, while others only have ordinary bandit leaders. If you are lucky and find soft persimmons, you can easily win them. If you are unlucky and find hard bones, you can only accept your bad luck. ”

Murphy pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled, "Haha, don't worry, I have a way to find out the weak persimmons among them. You guys take a rest first, and I'll go out to do some errands first."

After saying that, he walked straight into the palace, returned to his room, then immediately exited the game and returned to the game login interface.

Murphy chose to create a new character.

This time he chose the monster template.

Monster type - humanoid

Birthplace - Kingdom of Alterac

Monster forces - Alliance of Thieves - Brotherhood of Sons of the Mountain

[Thieves Alliance: A loose joint group composed of various outlaws. Their main activity is robbery. They are widely distributed in the spheres of influence of all major kingdoms. They are the targets of all major human kingdoms and must spare no effort to eliminate them. 】

Bandit monsters are a relatively common type of humanoid monsters and are widely distributed. From the lowest thieves and bandits to more advanced bandits and bandits, and even various powerful bandit organizations, all belong to this force.

Among them, the major fraternal organizations are the most prominent.

The so-called fraternity actually means 'gang'. In reality, the more famous one is the Skeleton Brotherhood on American campuses.

If translated into a martial arts background, it would probably be a one-on-one villain organization such as the Skeleton Gang.

There are three brothers in Alterac.

Brotherhood of Blades: A professional killer organization that triggers an assassination mission. Sometimes when walking in the wild, many elite assassins will suddenly spawn. The bosses of Brotherhood of Blades often drop thieves, assassins, and shadow dances. A high-level professional skill book for adventurers, so thieves' civil wars often break out with adventurers, and it is rare for players of other professions to encounter them.

Syndicate Brotherhood: It is composed of a group of professional thieves with a strict organizational structure. It is said that there are many fallen nobles and even treasonous princes among them, who have been plotting to subvert the royal power of the Kingdom of Alterac.

Brotherhood of the Sons of the Mountain: An alliance composed of a group of highlanders who claim to be the 'real Alterac people', a loose bandit society composed of dozens of different branches, mostly active in the mountains near cities and towns. Occasionally, groups would come down the mountain to plunder.

It is also the most indispensable enemy and experience package for players from level 10 to level 30 on their way to upgrade.

This is what Murphy wants to join this time. The Silver Blade Castle of the Syndicate Brotherhood is a large dungeon with a difficulty of 40 people. It is said that the dungeon of the Brotherhood of Blades can only be opened by thieves who have completed tasks. The monster template is only a level one when it is born. Weird, it's not that easy to get into those two organizations.

In other words, the threshold for being a son of a mountain is relatively low.

[System prompt: You have chosen to become a bandit recruit of the Sons of the Mountain Brotherhood, please select your birth point. 】

A simplified map of Alterac appeared in front of Murphy's eyes. There were no signs of cities and villages on it. Instead, there were markings of many bandit camps and bandit fortresses.

These are all places that can be used as spawn points for bandit monsters.

Murphy randomly chose a bandit stronghold and chose to be born.

What he didn't expect was that he could also choose a profession.

[Robbers (robber recruits)

Initial level: Level 3-5.

Skill: Robbery. An additional item is dropped when a target is killed.

Initial equipment: stick.

Monster introduction: A desperado armed with a wooden stick, with nothing but anger in his heart and hatred of the world. 】

【Thief (robber recruit)

Initial level: Level 2-4.

Skill: Silent walking. It makes no sound when walking.

Initial equipment: simple dagger.

Monster introduction: The little thief holding a dagger lacks the courage to fight head-on, so he always sneaks behind the enemy to launch sneak attacks. Once he encounters a counterattack, he will flee. 】

[Rogue (robber recruit)

Initial level: Level 1-3.

Skill: Throwing. Throws weapons or items in hand, causing ranged damage.

Initial equipment: Stone.

Monster introduction: An unstable element that is hated by the world, a useless person who does not like to work and is unwilling to take responsibility. Even on the battlefield, he always hides behind others and throws stones. 】

Murphy couldn't help but be speechless when he looked at these three professions. The novice monsters of the bandit type were really different from each other, but it didn't matter, they were only used for investigation anyway.

Mo Fei chose a thief as his initial profession. At least he had the silent walking skill, which at least made it easier to investigate.

PS: Thanks to the book friend Retrograde Leader for the reward.
