Chapter 1061 (2/2)
”Are you from the boundary?” Instead of answering Sean's question, egger asked.
”Yes.” Sean didn't deny it. After all, it's meaningless.
”The rebellion here is different from the rebellion in your territory.” Egger said, but his tone seemed somewhat helpless. ”These lands at the bottom are the places where those who violate the laws of the floating island are exiled. They need to work hard here But not everyone will feel guilty. They will only resent everything on the floating island, so some people will make trouble from time to time. ”
”Oh.” Sean raised his eyebrows and his brain began to work quickly.
It was no accident for Sean to meet the rebels as soon as he entered the floating island. Although at the beginning of the game era, no one had ever heard of logging in to the floating island, the official floating island data also proved that this place is not just a background information. It is certain that relevant tasks can also be obtained here, and there may even be a ”copy”.
Now, according to the information Sean obtained through Levi and Eliza, the existence of black-and-white holy land may be the so-called ”copy”.
So now such a chance encounter with insurgents, will it be a ”task”?
The exploration of unknown fields is something that every player is very keen on.
Sean is no exception.
Sean's understanding of the land boundary has been far beyond this era for too many years. At least the changes and major historical events in the next decade are under Sean's control. But for the floating island, Sean is really completely unknown.
In addition, Sean hasn't had an activity similar to a copy for a long time, which makes Sean really itch.
Of course, there is one more point.
The previous trip to Beida Lu, especially the last battle of fate, put too much pressure on Sean. Maybe he never showed it and never mentioned it to anyone, but the shock brought to Sean by the battle, which can be called the world-class gathering of the strongest combat power, is absolutely unspeakable. In that battle, he deeply felt his weakness and powerlessness. Even if he was already a grand duke and even had the strength to control the local war, he was small after all in the battle of the power pattern at the top level. Let alone becoming a chess player, he could not even control the situation.
Sean doesn't think he came to the world to be a chess piece.
”Tell me, I want to know what's going on.” Sean spoke in a deep voice. He tried his best to suppress some desire in his heart. Hope, he spoke in an indifferent tone as much as possible.
Egger once again looked at Sean deeply. He had stepped into the realm of the holy land by relying on perception, so he naturally had a very subtle feeling about the change of Sean's state of mind at this time. In the floating island, egger may not be the most popular person, but he can be regarded as one of the sharpest people in the whole floating island, because few people can deceive him.
”We don't know the exact number of insurgents.” After a long silence, egger finally chose to speak, ”but the scale of this rebellion is the largest in the history of the floating island. In total, there are more than 20 criminals involved in small land plots, and the estimated scale is likely to be close to 10000. ”
”Ten thousand people?” Sean was stunned for a moment. The quantity from egger seemed to exceed Sean's estimate.
The scale of 10000 people, even in the boundary, is already a large-scale unrest.
Judging from the chaotic law and order before panda's leadership, the scale of those bandit groups was only two or three thousand people. In the later stage, after the panda collar and several surrounding territories were occupied by Sean, the occasional bandits and robbers were only hundreds of people, never thousands. Therefore, the scale of 10000 people is enough to destroy all gathering points below the city level. If these people take military facilities such as a fortress, the destructive power will be even more terrible.
And all this is still based on the level of ordinary people.
From the contact with egger and others, as well as what Levi and Eliza have said, the strength of these 10000 people will not be much lower, and they are obviously people from the floating Saint college or the Babylonian sky magic tower, which means that these people are not only not low in strength, but also not weak in tactical awareness.
”Even if it's a reconnaissance team, it's not large with only 13 people?” Sean said.
”We were close to a hundred people.” Egger's tone suddenly became a little sad, ”but there were several encounters and arrested a group of people around these days. In addition... We also lost a lot of manpower. We don't know where these guys got their weapons. ”
”I see.” Sean suddenly understood why he was regarded as an enemy in the beginning.
Criminals who were originally exiled in these places will certainly not have weapons. Moreover, due to some special habits of the floating island, being exiled is actually a little harder than ordinary people - in the land boundary, its status is probably equivalent to that of a slave. But the slaves in the land boundary have no human rights, and those who are exiled to work can still enjoy the treatment of normal people, that is, they have to go out early and return late every day.
The most important thing is that no one will guard these criminals - in the floating island, everything is self-conscious. Of course, at the end of the month, if you can't hand over the resources and materials agreed upon when you were exiled, there will certainly be punishment.
But now, these rebels don't know where to get weapons, so they become dangerous.
Sean, a person who shouldn't have appeared here, suddenly appeared. He not only had weapons in his hand, but also had Levi and Eliza in a coma. If this is not suspicious, probably no one can be called suspicious. Even Sean himself thought that it was completely irresponsible for egger not to win himself under such circumstances.
But think about it, Sean is not such an honest man.
Therefore, there is something to teach egger and others to be human now.
”I probably understand.” Sean nodded slightly. He could basically confirm that the rebel incident was probably a trigger task.
As for the size of 10000 people, this is probably the sequelae of the game - if a player steps on the floating island and triggers this task, the first reaction must be to move rescue soldiers from the guild. But now, in this world, Sean can be regarded as alone, but the difficulty of the task has not been reduced, so it is a little difficult.
