Chapter 555: Situation on the Front

"So, this is where I'm going to be for a while?"

"Arcane Ring Seventh Forward Camp. ”

"That's the name here, right?"

The robes covered her body tightly, and Lydia's crisp voice came from the hood of the robe that was stretched down.

At this moment, she was standing on the wall of the camp, looking into the distance, looking at the outline of a city that was faintly revealed behind the faint gray mist.

"That's right, Master Lydia. ”

"Welcome to the Arcane Ring's Seventh Forward Camp. ”

"I am Ouroboros' Ring, a mid-level alchemist under the Arcane Alchemy School, and Owen Potley. ”

"Master Ander asked me to receive you. ”

"If you have any questions, please feel free to ask, and I will do my best to answer them. ”

On the side, a rather young male spellcaster stood respectfully, waiting quietly for Lydia to look at it for nearly fifteen minutes before speaking.

“......”

Without looking back, Lydia withdrew her gaze from the distant outline of the city, and then turned her gaze closer beyond the camp walls.

A pale purple earth appeared before her eyes, with corrosive marks, as if the earth had been partially dissolved, and various potholes appeared.

"The Corruption"!

In midair, a pale gray mist drifted.

These faint gray mist even converged into a thicker layer of fog around the camp, and occasionally strange faces and human silhouettes could be seen floating in the mist, and from time to time there were hazy wails, weepings, and chuckles.

It's a spirit creature like a geist at work.

The abundant negative energy that permeates the Corruption narrows the distance between the spirit world and the spirit world, allowing the spirit in the spirit world to occasionally affect the real world.

A strange pungent smell filled the air.

It can be seen that outside the camp wall is a large and extremely tragic battlefield!

The battlefield can be said to be full of all kinds of strangely shaped insect corpses, dark purple body fluids gathered into pools of disgusting blood, so thick that they could not penetrate into the ground at all, and even formed a swamp-like brown soil, which looked a bit like a mixture of some kind of vomit.

And most of the scars that can be seen on the corpses of these insects are miserable slashing wounds with wide openings and closings, occasionally mixed with scorch marks from flames, frostbite from frost condensation, and acid corrosion.

However, what is surprising is that there are large scorch marks on the ground with a radius of hundreds of square meters, a large number of insects are carbonized in the scorch marks, and even some shiny particles can be seen on the scorched ground, which shows that the temperature of the incineration has reached an alarming level, so that the soil particles have been melted to form crystals.

A huge link-shaped giant worm lay in the center of the scorched mark, charred and black, without breath......

On the other side of the battlefield, a huge beetle lay on the ground with its eyes blank, and its life had left it.

This beetle is also at least four meters tall, seven or eight meters long, the body surface is grayish-white, the appearance is somewhat similar to that of a cockroach, and it has eight symmetrical long legs, and the carapace joints above and below the body are protruding, full and bulging, and it looks full of destructive power.

However, there was already a huge wound on its back, and even a huge loss on its back, and the originally hard elytra had disappeared......

As you can imagine, before Lydia arrived, this camp had experienced one, or even many attacks formed by many insects, and there was an extremely fierce battle!

"The corpses of these bugs ......"

"Don't you need to clean up?"

After silently scanning the battlefield several times, Lydia suddenly asked.

"Uh......"

"Of course, after every fighting stopped, the camp would send someone to dispose of the corpses of these bugs. ”

Hearing Lydia's question suddenly, Owen seemed a little cramped, but he answered quickly.

"However, due to the frequency of attacks. ”

"A lot of times, it's always a part of the clean-up, and then the next attack comes again and has to interrupt the clean-up to prepare for the battle. ”

"And the attack will bring new insect corpses. ”

"In fact, we only repelled a major attack yesterday. ”

“......”

"Not only that, but these bugs all contain some special toxins in their bodies that can only be properly disposed of by thorough incineration. ”

"The combination of these reasons makes the clean-up work always repeated. ”

“......”

"Look. ”

"Those are the teams that were sent out to clean up. ”

Following Owen's instructions, he could see that more than a dozen clay golems had gathered together in the distance, pushing them all the way forward like a large bulldozer, pushing a large number of insect corpses together and stacking them into a hill-like pile of corpses.

Then, their bodies deformed slightly, and then they worked like small excavators, quickly digging a large hole in the land.

Thundered!

It didn't take long for the entire pile of corpses to be pushed into the pit.

At this time, two spellcasters who had been staying not far away, who seemed to be manipulating the golem to work, approached the pit and took out some powder and sprinkled it into the pit continuously.

Coax!

With the appearance of a trace of sparks, all of a sudden, billowing black smoke rose up, and the stench of burnt protein escaped......

“......”

Nodding, Lydia withdrew her gaze.

"Tell me about the information you've gathered. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the city in the distance should be Cenarion City. ”

"What's going on inside. ”

For this question, Owen seemed to have been prepared, so he did not show the same crampedness as before, he just took out a scroll from the space pocket on his waist, opened it and read slowly:

"The Kingdom of Phoenix belongs, the city of Cenarion. ”

"The mining city originally had a population of nearly 100,000. ”

"It was one of the first cities to erupt in turmoil, which Lord Norton Logar named 'Rebellion of the Evil Moon'. ”

“......”

"According to the outposts established in the early stage and the feedback from the people sent to investigate. ”

"By now, the city has been completely occupied by the Evil Moon Cult. ”

"Most of the city's inhabitants died in the turmoil, and the remnants were forcibly relocated by the Cult of the Moon, and it is unknown where they went. ”

“......”

"And now, the city has become a giant hive. ”

"It's basically just bugs and the Cultists of the Moon. ”

"Most of the bugs that attacked the advance camp came from there. ”

“......”

"According to the wisdom of the stars, those who say. ”

"The one that the Evil Moon Cult uses to occupy here is one of their leaders, the Ancient Evil Thing-[Rotworm Walker]!"
