The Kaza River originates in the Winter Mountains, from west to east, across the entire Kazarin, with numerous tributaries, which provide the basis for the formation of this primeval forest.

The three-way mouth is in the eastern section of the Kazha River, located in the northeast of the Kazha River, and a big mountain is turned over to the west, which is the Flame Mountain Range of Chidi Qianli.

From here, you can enter the Kingdom of Dorne by going north along the river bend, bypassing the Doen border corridor, and crossing the Sancha River more than ten meters wide in the south is considered to have truly entered the Kazarin range.

The Sancha River is a tributary of the Kazha River, passing through Huangyangang, from where it enters the river bay and finally joins the Central Plains Inland Sea.

Because the human race that migrated here during the war in the north settled here, the climate here is suitable for habitation, human beings can reclaim wasteland, cultivate fertile land, and next to the resource-rich Kazarin, as long as the most difficult construction stage, this human settlement will usher in a rapid expansion.

They chose a high ground as a base and cut logs from Kazarin, mined ore from the next valley, and with the help of a few high-level spellcasters, they built a high wall of wood and stone in just three days. People built houses within the high walls to recuperate.

It has to be said that in terms of creativity, human beings have an innate advantage, they know how to maximize the use of resources, and see results in a short period of time.

Thousands of years ago, humans built high walls to expel aliens and quickly gained a foothold on the Big 6.

"Simon has been in the forest for three days, haven't they come back yet?" It was the mercenary leader Carlson, a high-ranking warrior, who was opposite him a wizard hidden in a dark cloak.

"Ever since they went deep into the forest, my magic crystal hasn't shone again. You know, I've been able to receive information about wind training within a 5km radius, but I haven't received any spell messages so far. ”

The old wizard was a little hunchbacked, and I saw him holding the staff in one hand and the crystal ball in the other, and after walking back and forth in the tent twice, he continued: "Rogers is an experienced mercenary, he will not make such a low-level mistake, not to mention that there are several spellcasters in the team, even if they encounter a small monster tribe, they can escape with their whole body, I really can't figure out why they lost contact, unless ......"

"Unless the team is in unbeatable danger in the forest."

Carlsen took the old wizard's words, he pointed to the unknown area south of the map, and said in a heavy tone: "We don't know anything about the forest in front of us, it's like a terrifying beast, waiting for its prey to enter its stomach on its own, you know, I was a hunter before I became a mercenary, and I am naturally sensitive to potential dangers. ”

The old wizard nodded, "Yes Carlsen, I also have a strong sense of danger. And, as you should know, before we settled here, there were several traces of human habitation in the surrounding area, but without exception, all of them were lost. From those places I saw the claw marks of many beasts or monsters. ”

"You mean, the former human camp was destroyed by monsters?"

Carlsen looked at the map and analyzed the surroundings, and he said as if he was thinking to himself: "If the guess is correct, the monster can only come from Kazarin." ”

"I can't rule out this possibility, so we have to be more careful in the south, my right eye has been beating non-stop recently, the wizard's hunch has always been accurate, perhaps, we have been targeted."

"So serious?"

The old wizard nodded.

There was silence in the tent for two seconds, and Carlson took a deep breath.

"Neither the flaming mountains to the west nor the red wasteland to the east are inhabitable for human habitation, and this place is already the most suitable place to live. And the food and water we have left now can no longer support our long-distance migration. ”

He pointed his finger heavily on the map, "So, no matter what kind of anomaly happens next, we must hold this place." I will ask the soldiers to pay close attention to the movements around the Sancha River and be prepared for wartime. ”

……

It's night.

The Sancha River is as calm as ever, and people are frantically doing coolies during the day for the exhibition of the camp, and only some soldiers patrol around at night.

The 500 mercenaries were reasonably divided into four groups by Carlson, who worked in shifts, taking turns to rest and be on duty day and night, and they were the first and last line of defense in the camp.

At three o'clock in the morning, according to Simon Rogers' information, the soldiers on the night patrol would change their guard in an hour. According to the human sleep law, this is the time when the spirit is most sleepy. Many of the sneak attacks of famous battles in history were born at this time.

Of course, sleepiness is only for humans who are made at sunrise and rest at sunset. Like the monsters that live in the southern Xinjiang, most of them are active at night, and have even evolved dark vision in order to be able to hunt at night.

The Sancha River is not turbulent, and humans who know a little about water at a distance of more than ten meters can easily swim over, not to mention monsters who are born to swim.

The soldiers on the night vigil were drowsy, and at first they could talk about which woman in the camp was the biggest and which had the roundest ass to beat the time. But with the retirement of time, no matter how obscene the yellow cavity is, it can't raise any sexual interest.

The Eyes of several mages scattered across the river had long since been destroyed by the orc shamans using detection spells. Under the cover of night, the Red Dragon Clan quietly swam to the other side.

In Ize's opinion, this should be a perfect raid. This temporary human habitation with only 5oo mercenaries and less than 1o spellcasters will be destroyed by a torrent of monsters. Any human who tries to resist will have their heads crushed and their throats crushed by the monsters.

However, what the Red Dragon Clan never expected was that as soon as the leading gnolls swam across the riverbank, a piercing touch alarm immediately sounded in the human settlement, and rows of braziers lit one after another in more than ten seconds, illuminating the night.

In less than three minutes, more than 5oo mercenaries all appeared on the improvised high wall, and ordinary civilians also took up weapons and kept pouring out of various wooden houses, looking solemnly at the countless scarlet light spots flickering in the darkness dozens of meters away.

Carlsen appeared on the tower, fully armed, with a shield in his left hand and a sword in his right, and he said to the old wizard, "You guessed it right, monsters like to sneak up at night, but they don't think of human intelligence anyway. ”

"Don't rejoice too soon, I'm afraid it's not that simple."

The old wizard squinted, his cloudy gaze seeming to see through the darkness of the night into the forest across the river. He had already felt that his mage's eye had been destroyed, and a simple monster would not have such a rigorous tactic, unless there was a caster of no low rank among the enemy.

There seemed to be a large, invisible hand in the darkness that was about to pinch their throats, it was ...... A premeditated raid!

And at this moment, a dragon groan suddenly came from the dark as thick as ink.

Countless gnolls, orcs, and minotaurs have finally appeared in the field of vision of humans.

At the same time, a continuous roar rang out of the air, and large shadows swept out of the forest, pointing at the human camp.
