through the dark road

Chapter 28 Preparations before the war
Dulbert village north of Rogue's camp.An adventurer looked at the hole he had just dug speechlessly, muddy water quickly gathered, and mud clods continued to roll off the edge.Looking up at the continuous rain, he continued to dig helplessly in the mud.

The rain, which had lasted for three days, made all preparations for battle extremely difficult.

The grain harvested by the villagers has become unsuitable for storage due to humidity.

The road surface became more and more potholed and muddy under the repeated rolling of the carts transporting grain and timber.The huge earth mules were blowing white gas from their mouths and noses, and the carts that were about to sink into the mud from time to time had already made them almost unable to bear their own weight.

In order to avoid the muddy and difficult road section, the cart had to constantly detour in the wasteland full of rocks, making it extremely difficult to travel.

And building fortifications in heavy rain and mud is a difficult challenge even for a strong job changer.The muddy ground is extremely difficult whether it is digging or compacting.

"This rain is really not at the right time..." Akara stretched his hand into the rain curtain.Sighed worriedly.

Mo Bei collapsed exhausted in the blood and mud, and tried to suck air into his chest with his mouth open, but he coughed up a mouthful of blood due to choking.His leather armor was torn again.A penetrating wound in the abdomen was still gurgling blood.

Miloer almost scrambled to Mo Bei's side, took out a bottle of mild healing potion, and poured it down for Mo Bei.

Only then did Mo Bei feel that his vitality stopped flowing, and a warm current slowly rushed to his limbs.He looked up at Perona who was not far away. Fortunately, this girl was just mentally exhausted.Just kneel and sit in the rain to meditate and recover.

The surroundings were in a mess, with dozens of monster corpses scattered, most of them were Fallen Demons, as well as Fallen Demon wizards and zombies.

Mo Bei's team first encountered a group of zombies, a group of seemingly ordinary monsters, but an elite was hidden.Still has a particularly strong attribute.

These seemingly sluggish monsters seem to hide a kind of cunning.There is nothing unusual about this elite from the outside.

It hid in the monster group like an ordinary monster, and then launched a sneak attack, broke through Mo Bei's shield block, and directly broke Mo Bei's sternum.

When Mo Bei was wounded and dealt with them, another group of fallen demons and two fallen demon wizards rushed over.The catch is that one of the wizards is also an elite.The lightning is strengthened, and as soon as the attack hits, a charge bomb explodes in an arc, and Mo Bei in the rain almost collapses due to the electricity!

This was the longest and fiercest battle since the team's experience, and Mo Bei drank all the healing potions and stamina potions in his hands.Only then will the last zombie elite be killed.

Milor's own health is less than one-third, but he gritted his teeth and saved the last bottle of healing potion until now.Pulled Mo Bei back from the dying state.

Already unable to complain about the rain, Mo Bei struggled to get up from the mud.The abdominal wound had stopped bleeding.But in the current state, if there are monsters running around again, it is very likely that the group will really be wiped out here.

Even searching for loot is a hassle in the rain and mud.In this mess, it is extremely difficult to find gold coins and small objects that have fallen into the muddy water.Mo Bei only saw a short bow not far away, and stepped forward to pick it up.

Shortbow, unidentified.

gold!

"Damn, it's not in vain." Mo Bei spat out a mouthful of blood and grinned.

Perona handed 8 gold coins and a sapphire to Mo Bei.

"Is your hand magnetic to gold coins and gems..." Mo Bei thought to himself.

Mo Bei waved his short bow at the two of them.

"Dengdengdengdengdeng! Golden! Haha!"

The exhausted Miloer slightly widened his eyes, feeling incredible.

"Next time you come out, you must bring a few more identification scrolls..." Mo Bei sighed.

The little hand stretched out, holding an identification scroll. . . . .

"...You have high expectations for magic equipment!" Mo Bei looked at Perona, feeling unbelievable.

Last time, each person shared a total of 5 gold coins, just enough to buy two identification scrolls.You are full of confidence in our character value!

Worried that the scroll would get wet, he took it quickly and the identification was completed.

The whole body of the bow is pitch black, and it bends out a pleasing arc, and Miloer caressed it fondly for a while.His little face was a little red with excitement.

Suddenly the three of them vaguely heard the sound of a horn, intermittently in the rain.

"It's like the horn of a camp guard!" Miloer's hearing was the keenest.

The three immediately followed the sound.

Through the rain curtain, Mo Bei saw a team of about 20 people heading in their direction.

Mo Bei, who was still in pain, even felt a sense of resentment.

Why didn't you come sooner. . . .

"Ah... that's great! Gather another team, the sound of the horn can't be heard in this damn rain..." The tired camp guard waved at the three of Mo Bei.

There are 10 camp guards in this team, and the captain is called West.There are also four adventure teams that were assembled in the past two days.

After learning about the monster army, Mo Bei felt that his teeth began to ache.

Why are there so many moths about these monsters?Didn't it mean that it's just a bunch of projections, how can the slide show be perfect!Is there any organizational discipline left? . .What a fool!
Follow the team to continue searching for the adventure team in the wilderness.Mo Bei was also worried.

I don't know if it can be blocked. .

At the beginning, Mo Bei asked directly why he didn't notify some teams in the [-]s and [-]s to come back to sit in town.Under West's explanation, Mo Bei understood how serious the situation the world was facing.

To Mo Bei's horror, the death rate of adventurers in the advanced monster area was even higher than that in the novice area like them.As a result, the world's high-end combat power has been stretched.

Those teams are under tremendous pressure to maintain a precarious balance with the forces of hell in those areas.

The whole dark world.There are four novice areas like the Rogue camp.

The Rogge camp is the largest and the one that sends the most adventurers out.At the same time, there are a large number of civilians living there.

If the Rogge camp suffers heavy damage, it is almost foreseeable that this tug-of-war between humans and the forces of hell will collapse in the near future!

In the camp, Kaxia was falling into endless self-blame. She allowed a cancer to evolve to the point where it was going to destroy them.

This cancer is Bi Xu Bo Xu!

The overlord of this icy plain.In terms of its strength, it is nothing more than a relatively powerful elite fallen magician.

But it has an ability - to revive other fallen magic wizards.The latter can revive the little fallen devil.When this resurrection chain encounters a huge monster base, it will form an infinite rebirth army around Bisu Boshu.And this damned demon is extremely cunning.It will never easily approach the attack range of humans.

Kasha realized not long ago that the overlord on the Icy Plain hadn't been killed by the adventure team for several months. . .

She was just preparing to organize a clean-up campaign, but she didn't expect this threat to be detonated ahead of time.

Previously, Bixu Boxu's projection had survived for a longer period of time, but why did such a change occur this time?
This leader-level monster, which is not very powerful in itself, can only summon the Sinking Demon Clan under normal circumstances. Why is it able to gather all kinds of monsters in the entire icy plain this time?
. . . . . .

Milor's condition is not looking good.Her village is Blontar, just north of the camp.One of the twelve villages that bear the brunt of the monster army's invasion.

The team finally completed the original search mission in the middle of the night.And destroy all the monsters encountered along the way.

"The team still in the wilderness. We can only hope that they can discover the danger in advance... Let's go to the village of Blontal and help build the fortification." Captain West said wearily.

When Miloer heard this, there was a hint of surprise in his worried eyes.This team happened to be taking the gathered adventure team to her village.

The group arrived in Blontal in the early hours of the morning.Even at this time, there are still busy figures inside and outside the village.

Mo Bei saw four trebuchets standing beside the village at a glance.The shape can be vaguely recognized in the rain, and it matches the drawings seen in the Voss collection.

Mo Bei thought of Leoric, the black mad king recorded in the book.The king, who was originally loved by his people, became jealous and crazy under the spiritual erosion of the fearful demon king Diablo.Bewitched, he became hostile to the neighboring countries in the west, so he ordered the design and construction of a large number of siege equipment.

Among them is the trebuchet standing silently in the rain like a giant.

When Leoric felt that something was trying to enter his spirit and infect his mind, he chose to remain silent in front of his priests and cronies. He was so convinced that he could defeat these evil corruptions that Dia Polo eventually destroys his sanity.Turn him into a bloodthirsty and brutal black madman.

If you choose to face the darkness alone, you may also be swallowed by the darkness.Mo Bei thought.

The one who brushes the boss alone is either a lunatic or is becoming a lunatic!
