The Dark Badge; this is what Li Yao wants. If you use military merit to exchange, it requires too much merit. It’s more economical to do the task.

Of course, it’s not easy to draw the defense map of the Drywood Fortress. The average newbie wouldn’t be able to do such a military task.

“So, what’s the second individual task?” Li Yao asked.

Windcaller hesitated for a moment, but still said: “The second task is more difficult. You wouldn’t be able to do it alone. You can summon your guild members to do it together.”

“I understand, please proceed,” Li Yao nodded in agreement.

“Although the movements of the Drywood Trolls have been observed, Kael’Dan is not prepared. You understand the situation in our race. For the reinforcements…hence, we can only hope to deal with the trolls jointly with Eagle Nest Mountain. Negotiations are still ongoing. We need time,” said the Windcaller.

“What do I need to do?” Li Yao asked patiently.

“Delay them, don’t let the Drywood Trolls launch an attack in the short term, or severely damage the Drywood Trolls temporarily to buy us some time. Are you willing to accept? There are penalties for failure,” the Windcaller said slowly.

“I accept.” Li Yao took on the task.

Delay The Drywood Trolls

Task Description: The Drywood Trolls are preparing for war. Kael’Dan faces a great crisis.

Task requirements: Delay the advance of the Drywood Trolls.

Task reward: 5% experience, 500 guild points, 5 gold guild funds, 500 unit guild materials exchange coupon.

Suggested number of people: 500-1000

Task deadline: within 3 days

Failure Punishment: Deduct 50% of the current guild level’s points.

This is a guild task, and it is a high-difficulty, high-reward guild task. Looking at the suggested number of people, it is recommended that a second-level guild deploy all its members, and a large number of losses would be needed to complete the task.

Most guild tasks only have a dozen or so, and better ones have a few dozen points.

Not to mention 500 units of materials, this is a reward for a high-difficulty guild task.

It’s especially needed when establishing a base in the wilderness. Building houses requires wood and stone. One can purchase or gather these materials themselves, but for some public facilities, exchange coupons are needed.

Wall reinforcement materials are the most practical. They can improve the defense and durability of the wall, especially in the early stage when walls are all wooden. They will require this even more.

For instance, materials for defense magic arrays are not something you can buy just by having money.

Of course, the punishment is rather severe. Like for average guilds, failing this task results not only in a huge loss of resources but also the points that members have earned with great effort. It hurts morale greatly.

“Young man valued by the General, I am looking forward to your performance,” the Windcaller said as Li Yao reached the door.

“I will not disgrace the reputation of the Windrunner General,” Li Yao said. Now, he’s been marked by the queen. While the benefits are plenty, the consequences of failure are just as severe.

“Damn, this is such a dope guild task.”

“I pity myself, running around for half a day, and I haven’t even completed a task that scores a few points.”

“The guildmaster, he stays quiet only to surprise us all later.”

“Are we going to gather to do another task? It feels amazing.”

“Nonsense, look at how many people are required. The difficulty must be high.”

“Haha, get ready to gather. It’s going to be even more thrilling than yesterday.”

“Look at the guild channel.” Feng Yi sent a private message.

Li Yao, who had transformed into a small size, was rapidly traveling on the back of a fire eagle. Seeing the guild channel, he suddenly understood. As the guildmaster, after accepting a task, especially a large guild task, all members are automatically considered as accepting the task.

“You all continue with your tasks. I can handle this one alone. Just wait to receive the rewards,” Li Yao explained.

“Holy crap, the guildmaster is so badass.”

“A task that is recommended for hundreds to complete, and you want to do it alone. I’m on my knees.”

“Hunting King, don’t joke around.”

“Yeah, stop messing around.”

Li Yao helplessly said: “I’m serious, you all continue with your tasks. That’s it, I’ve reached the task location.”

“Is this even possible?”

“Does he have to be so against the heavens?”

“Hunting King, give us noobs a chance to live.”

Li Yao jumped off the fire eagle and continued to rush on his way. Drywood Fortress, southeast of Kael’Dan, is a long distance away. If not for the fire eagle, it would be a significant waste of time.

The Hinterlands were complicated, with three major troll tribes alone. Among them, the Withertree Tribe was the most powerful.

They were divided into two strongholds, one was the Drywood Fortress built against the mountains, and the other was in a more remote location where the grass and water were even more abundant.

Back to back with the continual mountain range, and although it’s called a fortress, the whole fortress’s state was like a stepwise.

The fortress was divided into six levels, each significantly higher than the ground. The top level almost reached the mountain top.

The trolls were an ancient race, and their cities were full of character from years of weathering, with mossy walls.

Moreover, each level had plenty of trees all around, the environment was incredibly serene. If not for seeing the savage bone totem and piles of bones, people would definitely consider it a paradise out of the ordinary.

Li Yao activated the passive skill of the Dark Ranger. However, as soon as he got within a hundred yards of the entrance, the troll’s pet wolf stood up, its fur standing on end as it stared at Li Yao, growling deeply from its mouth.

The laid-back gatekeeper became alert immediately and started to be on guard.

“It seems sneaking in won’t work, no wonder they want me to draw the defense map instead,” Li Yao slowly retreated, hiding behind a big tree.

It took a while for the wolf to calm down and finally be lazy at its master’s foot again.

However, Li Yao had already obtained data on several troll gatekeepers.

Li Yao sighed, although he had predicted it, he still frowned. Just like how player elites can be star rated, monster elites also have star ratings.

This star-rated elite yields a lot of experience and generous rewards. But the problem is that it’s equally hard to deal with. A small boss description wouldn’t be incorrect, one or two might be manageable.

But they’re all guarding the entrance, and there’s an alarm bell next to them. If you go in head-on, you don’t know how many trolls will rush out once the bell rings…
