"My lord, the spies have sent urgent information that the town of Said has been attacked by a large number of rat monsters." In the chamber, John rushed in.

It's the fourth day that Barr has returned.

"What? Attacked by rats? Putting down the papers in his hand, Barr wondered.

In the world of Rand, most of the rat monsters are at the bottom.

Except for a few extremely rare special races, most of them will not exceed level 50, how can it be possible to break through the town-level territory of the empire.

"According to the spies, just two days ago, a large number of rat monsters rushed out of the Blackstone Mountains and attacked the town of Said next to the mountain range, and there were many elite-level individuals in the rat colony, and it is said that someone saw the leader-level rat king in it." John worried.

The town of Said is located just east of the town of La Mer, about a thousand kilometers away.

The rat swarm can capture Said Town, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and if it runs to the side of Sea Blue Town, it will cause a lot of trouble.

"Rat King? That's serious. Barr frowned, although the Rat King is extraordinary, he doesn't care about it yet, but the Rat King has extremely high leadership among the rat monsters, and can gather a large number of rat monsters to form a rat tide.

After the rat tide is formed, all the rats will get a special blessing effect, and the attack power will skyrocket, and the more rat monsters gathered, the more terrifying the attack power will be, and it will be very difficult.

"And that's not all." John continued, "Even the three human kingdoms of Dolan, Banya, and Saud, which are also close to the Blackstone Mountains, have several territories that have been attacked by different kinds of monster groups, and several territories have been destroyed. ”

The Orc Empire is vast.

The territory includes the northern part of the Western Continent, the corridor connecting the Eastern and Western Continents to the north, and a small part of the northwestern corner of the Eastern Continent.

The Minotaur clan has lived in the northwestern part of the Eastern Continent for generations, adjacent to the three kingdoms of humans, and the reason why the empire attaches importance to the Minotaur clan is also to use the minotaur settlement as a buffer zone against the human war.

"Different kinds of monsters." Baal frowned, things seemed to be a little beyond his expectations, in his previous life, he had never heard of the territory around the Blackstone Mountains being destroyed by monsters.

"The butterfly effect."

"John, you send more spies out and report back as soon as you have a situation." Barr said calmly.

"Yes." John turned and walked away.

Buzz.

The Void Floating Group around the territory also began to move towards the depths of the Blackstone Mountain Range under Baal's orders, however, the maximum contact distance of the Void Floating was only more than a thousand kilometers, and spies could only be sent to investigate further away.

Baal took out the Glory Crystal from his backpack and used the communication function.

Sea Blue (Baal): Does anyone know anything about the monster anomalies in the Blackstone Mountains?

Drew Town (Berubed): I heard that a territory was attacked, but I don't know the exact situation.

Ocean Church (Colin): Is there such a thing? I'll help you find out.

......

Put down the Glory Crystal in your hand.

It seems that the Ocean Church also knows very little about this matter.

"What the hell is going on?" Barr was a little irritable, he didn't like the uncontrollable situation.

......

In the heart of the Blackstone Mountains, deep underground.

It was a circular cavity with a circumference of 100 meters, covered on all sides by an earthy yellow mucosa.

In the middle is an altar-like building, with dense magical formations carved on it, and around the altar stand six thick stone pillars, emitting different colors of light, and the light meets in the middle of the altar, forming a spherical energy field, in which a round coin the size of an egg is floating.

The shape of the coin is simple, one black and one white on both sides, and it looks a little rough and ordinary.

Jingle bell.

At the bottom of the stone pillar in the lower left corner of the altar, a white leather with a melon skin hat and a shabby cloak is vigorously waving a blue mine hoe in his hand.

"Squeak..."

Pipsqueak breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground with his hoe down, looking a little tired.

There was a pile of fine rock powder scattered on the ground, and a large hole had been dug at the bottom of the stone pillar, and it looked like it was about to be cut off, so it seemed that Pipsqueak had been digging here for quite some time.

Not far behind it.

An earthy yellow unicorn monster the size of a wild wolf was lying quietly on the ground, looking like it should be the earth-covered beast that had left with Pipsqueak before, but its size had shrunk a lot, but the aura exuding from its body was indeed getting stronger and stronger.

"Boss, isn't it good for us to do this, this should be a very ancient and powerful sealing circle, if it is destroyed by us, it may cause a catastrophe." The Earth-Covered Beast actually spoke.

"Squeak, squeak." Pipsqueak had a nonchalant expression.

"Well, what the boss said is right, what does it have to do with us, let them die, the boss is really mighty." The Earth-Covered Beast complimented.

"Squeak." Pipsqueak nodded, very helpful.

Rested for a while.

Pipsqueak picks up his hoe and prepares to continue digging.

"Well, that, boss, there's one thing I forgot to tell you." The earth-covered beast swallowed and spouted.

"Squeak." Pipsqueak turned his head.

"Actually, you don't have to do it yourself, I can summon an earth elemental to dig it for you." The Earth-Covered Beast continued.

"Squeak, squeak."

Pipsqueak angrily left the hoe on the ground and ran to the ground cover, kicking and punching.

......

On the east side of the Blackstone Mountains, a void float hovers in midair.

Below is a group of white giant wolves, about a thousand, it should be 75 monsters: Shadow Moon Wolves.

On a rock in the middle lay a huge silver wolf, the size of the silver wolf was very large, more than ten times larger than the same kind next to it, it looked like a silver mountain.

"Roar." The silver wolf's body moved slightly, opened his eyes vigilantly, and stood up.

The surrounding wolves also immediately stood on guard.

There was a sudden and eerie silence all around, and there was not even a trace of insect chirping, and suddenly, wisps of black light smoke floated up from the ground, and the black smoke seemed to be alive, rapidly burrowing into the bodies of the surrounding shadow moon wolves.

"Roar~~"

A terrible roar rang out.

The Shadow Moon Wolf, eroded by the black smoke, became frantic, and the clarity in his eyes was rapidly disappearing, covered in a layer of black mist.

Roar~ crunch, a crazy shadow moon wolf turned its head violently and bit on its companion, the slightest mist seeped into its companion's body through its teeth, and the wolves instantly killed each other.

"Roar~~Roar~~"

The silver wolf roared loudly, but the wolves around him had fallen into a state of madness and did not listen to its orders at all.

Phew-

A wisp of black smoke came out from not far away, and shot quickly towards the silver wolf.

The silver wolf was shocked and immediately turned and ran, but it was too late, and a large amount of black smoke poured out from the ground around it, enveloping its entire body in an instant.

"What is this?" Barr opened his eyes with a solemn expression.

Those black smoke were not a good thing at first glance, and the Shadow Moon Wolves affected by the black smoke all became extremely crazy, and a huge wolf pack, including the Wolf King, was completely eroded by them in an instant.

Knock knock.

John ran in from outside.

"My lord, according to the information sent back by the spies, these days, many territories around the Blackstone Mountain Range have been destroyed by monsters, and the situation seems to be a little bad." John said eagerly.

Sea Blue Town is very close to the Blackstone Mountains!

"I already know, and although I don't know exactly why yet, there must be something going on in the Blackstone Mountains." Barr said.

"My lord, what should we do now?" John said.

"The situation is unknown, so I can only respond to the changes with the same, and I will visit Elder Brenda and Priest Amos later to discuss countermeasures." Barr spoke.

"Is there any progress in the procurement of ordnance?"

Not long after receiving the information, he arranged for John to start procuring ordnance, especially large city defense weapons, the more such things, the better.

"There are a lot of small crossbows and repeaters and the like, but there are not many people who sell large city defense weapons, and only two medium-sized fire bomb projectors have been bought." John replied.

"Well, you need to stock up on more food." Ballian said, "In addition, I have exchanged four M-1911 Ice Blade Fortresses, and the Empire should send someone to deliver them in the next two days, and you can arrange for someone to receive them." ”

Seeing that the momentum was not right, he reluctantly donated a large number of rare materials and exchanged them for four of the latest Ice Blade Fortresses through the Lord Token.

Although it is more cost-effective to exchange drawings, the drawings are very expensive, and it takes too much time to build large-scale urban defense equipment, which cannot be completed in ten or twenty days, and there is no time at all.

"Yes, sir." John's face softened, this latest model of the empire's city defense weapon is extraordinary.

Stomp and tread.

A minotaur guard ran in and said respectfully, "My lord, there is an adventurer named Shopkeeper outside looking for you, saying that he is here to hand in a mission. ”

"Huh, hand in the task?" Barr's heart moved.
