The moment Lin Xi said that, Kalu looked towards us and said, "Young adventurer, all of you look free. If that is the case, can you accept a quest from me?"

"Oh?"

Lin Xi opened her eyes wide and smiled, "Sir, just speak, what do you need us to do?"

"It is like this."

The old cavalry chief said solemnly, "A month ago we sent 300 scouts to the north to explore the lost town Firefly Town. That was one of the important towns in the north for the empire and there was around 200 thousand stone of grain amassed there. However, the Dimension Legion occupied it. Now, the scout cavalry has left for a month but there is still no news from them. They probably faced a bad situation."

After saying that, he looked at us with a dark gaze, "All of you are skilled adventurers, can you help me take a look at Firefly Town. If you see them, can you help me bring them back? If you can defeat the army there, I have the power to give you even more glory and rewards."

All of a sudden, "Lin Xi's voice shuddered from excitement, "Sir... Sir, we accept!"

...

"Ding!"

System notification: Your party has accepted the quest Firefly Town (SS Grade)!

Quest contents: Head towards Firefly Town in the north to save the trapped scouts. Apart from that, wipe out the enemies there and buy the empire a chance to transport grain. After completing the quest, you will obtain huge rewards!

...

"Another SS Grade quest!"

I held my Silver Ocean Sword with a smile on my face, "Not bad not bad~~ We are going to gain so much gold, experience and reputation points today"

"Yes."

the five men party moved out once more and this time we were heading even deeper than Blood Ice Plains. Firefly Town was half an hour from where we were. It seemed like Xuanyuan Empire had lost too many cities in the war with Dimension Legion and was forced back. If not for Bahuang Marquis being vicious enough, this line would continue south and the entire Dongxing Province would be eaten by them. When that happened, the situation would become even worse.

Along the way, I saw many desolate villages and it had been a long time since there were people here. Those wells were even dry. One could also see marks of battle left on the grounds. Not long later, we stood in front of one of the villages and at the walls were many broken armor, shields and swords.

Lin Xi walked at the front and frowned when she saw all this, "Once in Destiny, there was Dragon City defended by Frost that acted as a barrier. Now is different, Dragon City didn't exist. Humans could only rely on marquis like Bahuang Marquis to defend this north region."

Shen Mingxuan said, "He probably won't be able to defend it for too long either."

I said calmly, "Bauang Marquis is one of the strongest of the twelve. If even he can't defend it, it is a matter of time before Dongxing Province is lost."

"Things will change."

Lin Xi smiled towards me, "After all, once our level gets higher, the secondary city will open. Our next target is the Dongyang City. If Dongxing Province is lost, we will have nowhere to go."

"En."

I nodded, "There are many difficulties, as long as we don't give up we will have hope."

"Yes."

These monsters were extreme, either they were a huge win or a huge loss. If we didn't retreat, we might have been surrounded and died. Even I might not be able to block them. They were small and their hitbox was small too. As long as I was surrounded, dozens of them could attack me and even with my high defence, I wouldn't be able to block it. After all, their health was low but their Attack was high!
