through the dark road

Chapter 29 The Great Backpack

New information came that the monster army had entered the bloody wasteland.They seem to be tireless, and their travel speed has increased slightly.At this rate, it will take about two and a half days to reach the northern front.

It seems that this kind of weather has no effect on their progress at all.

But there is also good news that most of the team on the stone field have completed the beheading operation and returned to the Rogge camp.And reorganize the assassins and job-changers with equipment that increases the movement speed, and set off to stop the monster army.

Each team is centered on an assassin who specializes in traps. They hope to take advantage of various traps and the speed of the team to harass the monster army and slow down their progress as much as possible.

At the same time, they will continue to search around the monster army. According to statistics, there are still many unaware adventure teams deep in the wilderness.

The city portal scrolls, which were not easy to make, were sent out like tavern flyers, just to bring back as many people as possible!

Those old fellows in the mage guild who are usually a bit stingy now wish they could dig out all the gemstones from the ancestral staff and grind them into powder to draw teleportation scrolls.

This season is already rainy, and it often lasted for several days in the past.People here have long been used to it, but the sudden army of monsters made the rain extremely bad.

Everyone's heart is shrouded in a layer of haze.Pray for the rain to stop soon.

Mo Bei's team was arranged to collect moderately sized stones in the surrounding wilderness as ammunition for the trebuchet.

The three of them dispersed into the wasteland, and Mo Bei saw that the transferees had already started to build a barrier quite far from the village.One by one, they were soaked in the mud like mud monkeys, struggling to dig.Thanks to their strong physique, ordinary people really can't dig.

They dug trench-like ditches and piled the excavated earth on the side close to the village.Used to strengthen the rows of barbed fences that keep horses away.Such barriers were layered one after another, until the trebuchet next to the village, there were more than ten barriers at a glance.

It's an amazing amount of work. .Mo Bei was speechless.

But this arrangement is a helpless move because of the interference of rain.The originally planned wooden walls simply could not be built.The stake was planted one-third of the way into the ground, still swaying in the mud.In this way, even if a wooden wall is built, it will not be able to withstand the impact.

Without wooden walls, the long-distance bombardment and killing of monsters through walls cannot be realized.We can only use these barriers to slow down the monster's charge as much as possible.

Mo Bei once again noticed the black-red soil they dug up. Legend has it that the red color in the soil is the blood of countless innocent people who were slaughtered.No matter how many years passed, this blood color could not fade away.That's why this place is called the bloody wasteland.

From Mo Bei's point of view, it was bullshit, and the blood that flowed into the ground was oxidized into ferric oxide, which was also black.The red Mo Bei guessed it was iron oxide.But the black soil looks really fat. If you sprinkle some slaked lime on it, it will be a good field.

Mo Bei imagined that after the people here repelled the forces of hell, they would cultivate an endless fertile land here.Open the garden of noodles and talk about wine and mulberry.How beautiful it must have been that day. . .

Bow down and load chunks of watermelon-sized rocks into your inventory, which are everywhere in the wilderness.I picked it up and went back to the trebuchet, and used my consciousness to control and throw piles out.But the guard who was busy watching from the side was stunned.

"How did you fit so many stones..." The guard looked at the hill of stones thrown by Mo Bei, wondering if he was tired and confused.

"It's just picked up outside, it's everywhere." Mo Bei didn't understand what he meant.

"No, what I mean is, is your inventory so big? It seems that high-level job changers can't hold this pile of stones at once..."

"Inventory...then... how big is yours?" Mo Bei has never cared about the size of the inventory, anyway, so far he has never needed to fill it up.

"I... can probably hold a small half of this pile of stones..." The guard was about the same age as Mo Bei, and his speech was a bit naive.

Mo Bei was a little surprised. He had never estimated the size of his inventory, but it seemed that he had filled less than half of it just now?
"I haven't completely changed my job, and my inventory is smaller than that of the job-changer. Although everyone's inventory space will increase as the level increases. But your inventory... really got the favor of the gods..." the guard Wiped the rain from his forehead.

Hearing this, Mo Bei had a guess in his heart.It can't be because of the large chest patch. . .

It seems that we not only have a high explosion rate, but also a big backpack.That complements each other!

Simply delicious.

Mo Bei had inquired about the storage box in the camp, but found that there was no such thing at all.Usually everyone puts things that cannot be put in the inventory at home or in temporary accommodation, and it is also very reassuring.

Mo Bei also looks forward to one day being able to place a small nest in the camp.

I dealt with a few words and uncovered the item column.Mo Bei began to look and touch the trebuchet around him, and he was very interested in this big guy.

"Hey! Hey! Brother, how far can this thing hit?" Mo Bei asked the guard named Meka.

"Well...about five or six hundred steps." Maika replied.

"Turn to a place where no one is around and have a look?" Mo Bei looked forward to it.He used to watch the catapult projectile in the movie Lord of the Rings, and hoped to meet the real guy one day.Which boy is not interested in such things.

"Not yet...everyone is running around, it's too dangerous! A test shooting will be arranged when the fortifications in front are completed." The guard looked around in a bit of embarrassment, but did not agree to Mo Bei.

Mo Bei smacked his lips.My heart is itchy.

"Then see if this can be placed on top and typed out?" Mo Bei dragged out a large string of more than a dozen bottles of orange-red liquid.

Blast Potion.

This one exploded after Mo Bei hacked and killed a zombie on the way back to the village, and I haven't had a chance to use it yet.

"This...it should be possible..." Meika's eyes looked a little eager to try.

This explosive potion is normally thrown at monsters with hands, causing decent explosion damage.But how far can you throw it with your hands.If this is a bunch, throw it out with a trebuchet.It's cool to think about it.

"Then I'll keep this here, and I'll come back after a test shot." Mo Bei stuffed the pile of bottles to Mai Ka, and went to pick up rocks again.

Mo Bei kept running back and forth around the village. He was obviously exhausted on the way back to the village. After all, he had been practicing in the rain all day, and he also encountered a fierce battle to survive.

But after arriving at the village, Mo Bei even felt that he could fight another battle, as if something was slowly providing energy in his body.

Feeling that the stones were almost collected, he helped build a new trebuchet.

This kind of trebuchet can be called the crystallization of the wisdom of Canduran craftsmen. It has a simple structure, but it becomes more ingenious the more you look at it.There is quite a sense of ingenuity and clumsiness.

In fact, these big guys are far from perfect. They don't have any rune circles engraved, so they can only be regarded as low-end versions made in a hurry.

According to the book, Leoric's bloody massacre forced the artisans to do their best.All the siege machines designed and built at that time were magic devices.With the increase of magic circle and gem inlay, the power, range and accuracy can be called terrifying.

Fortunately, the madness of the black madman was ended by those who once loved him, and the people of the western realm were saved from a disaster.

Two tall barbarians yelled "Hoo! Ha! Hoo! Ha!" and carried a huge log into the village. Now almost all the pack animals are exhausted, and the lumberyard has to arrange human transportation .

Put the giant logs down, and each pour some shorter logs from the inventory.These are the materials for building trebuchets, and the selection of materials is relatively more demanding.After unloading the goods, the two barbarians Tie Hanhan ran away without stopping.

Mo Bei took out his dagger and began to roughly process the wood as required, and from time to time he would change hands to help erect it.It was busy until dark, and the two new trebuchets were roughly completed.

At this time, Miloer and Perona found Mo Bei, and the three of them went to Milore's house together.

"This is my mother! Dad went to the lumberyard to help." Miloer introduced.

Mo Bei saw a woman with a gentle smile, who had the same brown hair as Milore.

"Hi Ma'am, my name is Mo Bei! Excuse me!" Although Mo Bei had learned how to pay tribute to a job changer, he still bowed slightly like the parents of his classmates before.

"Just call me Kelly." The woman smiled and carefully arranged for Mo Bei and Perona to wash up.

This made Mo Bei a little embarrassed.

Milo's mother is really as gentle as Milo.

After tidying themselves up a bit, the three gathered around a small dining table, eating bread and thick soup.

After eating the food, Mo Bei felt a whirlpool of exhaustion welling up.

Looking at Mo Bei who fell asleep directly on the dining table, Kelly put a blanket on him with a hint of sadness in her eyes.

These adventurers are all busy after returning from the wilderness, and now there are a bunch of mud monkeys sleeping in the big barn.This army of monsters and this rain really tormented these people enough.

Can you keep your own home? .
