Heading east, Collain Volcano passes through the Kars Plains and the Greyridge Mountains, an important defensive line for the eastern Lionheart Empire.

Alex's 10,000 pioneer troops were to be stationed in the Eastern Gorge, the only canyon through the Greyridge Mountains.

The Eastern Volcano is located on the outskirts of the Greyridge Mountains, bordering the Duchy of Darklight, but it is part of the Three-Sided Zone.

As the two most powerful human kingdoms on the Heart of the Kingdom continent, the exchanges between the two countries have always been rational and vigilant, but more often than not. So although there has never been a major conflict between the two countries, there are occasional small frictions.

The Duchy of Darkness is a parliamentary state, and the top level is composed of three powerful Shadow Archmages and six Princes, and because the Duchy of Radiance occupies 2/3 of the Shadow Elemental nodes in the Kingdom Heart, it is rich in Shadow Mages.

The army arrives in the Eastside Gorge, and Alex arrives at the Mage Tower with the boys from the training camp.

Specific orders were given in the Mage's Tower.

The first group assisted the soldiers in clearing the lava creatures that had escaped from the Correin volcano, and the second group assisted the soldiers in covering the evacuation of civilians east of the Gray Ridge Mountains.

Wright's third group will carry out the most dangerous mission, investigating anomalous elemental nodes in the volcano.

The quest is to go deep into the volcano, which is very dangerous, so the mage tower provides each of them with a set of fire resistance equipment.

Wright picked up the armor that looked heavy, and was surprised to find that it weighed about the same as ordinary leather armor. The others also had the same hillbilly expression as Wright.

Lilith felt embarrassed by their performance, so she gave them a science popularization: "These are all made of cold crystal iron and mythril, and with the mage's careful enchantment, they are very precious and rare enchanted equipment. ”

A mage servant complimented, "Miss Mage, you are really well-informed. ”

"It's just the basic qualities of a mage. Lilith replied haughtily.

It was not early today, so they rested in the mage tower and would not leave until the early morning of the next day. As for the other two groups, they were forced to carry out the mission first.

Before dawn, Isaac had already woken up the team one by one.

Wright came to the outside of the Mage Tower dressed neatly, with a two-handed sword on his back and two one-handed swords hanging from his waist.

When everyone arrived, Alex gave Isaac a bag of magic crystals, about the size of his thumb.

"Every time you find an anomalous node, throw a crystal at it, it will mark and temporarily stabilize the node, and when we reach an agreement with the Duchy of Darklight, a high-level mage will come to deal with the follow-up issues. ”

"Remember, safety comes first. Also, try to find as many nodes as possible. ”

"Understood!" replied in unison from the six.

"Let's go, the soldiers will take you to the volcano. ”

The Wright stepped into the teleportation array and headed to the nearest sentry post to the volcano (why not teleport directly from Lion City?

Resisting the discomfort of teleportation, Wright and his party followed the soldiers towards the volcano.

The soldier said to the six boys, "From here you will go straight to the edge of the volcano, and I can't take you there, because the heat and ash will kill me." After saying that, the soldier smiled bitterly.

"It's okay, we'll just go over by ourselves, you can go back first. Isaac reassured.

After the soldier left, Lilith told the group, "Our equipment has the function of isolating the outside air, and as soon as the surrounding temperature reaches its critical level, the shield will be activated. However, the equipment can only last 6 hours, so let's not go too deep at a time. ”

Isaac exclaimed, "Good thing we have Lilith!, but how do you know so much?"

"Don't ask, asking is a mage's self-cultivation. ”

......

The group walked to the foot of the volcano.

There was fiery red magma flowing from their feet, reddish-gray smoke all around them, and their vision was limited. The shields they are equipped with have been activated, and although they still feel heat, they are not exposed to the heat.

Reese stood on a large rock and looked out, and after a moment he said, "I see a cave in front of me, I wonder if I can go to the depths of the volcano, do you want to go and see it?"

"It's better to go and see than to be on the periphery all the time. ”

After agreeing on this, the group walked towards the cave.

As soon as he reached the periphery of the volcano, Wright felt a slight trance in his spirit, which became even stronger as he got closer.

Shaking his head to concentrate himself, Wright sped up to keep up with the team.

Several people cautiously entered the cave that Rees had discovered, and the temperature in the cave was gradually rising.

The cave is winding and rugged, with Isaac at the front and Wright at the end, and as warriors in martial arts, they always play the role of charging and breaking back, as Lilith says - cannon fodder.

The cave is longer than expected, and there are dangers lurking.

No, Isaac, who was walking in the front, encountered a lava lizard just around the corner.

The lava lizard has a short temper and is extremely aware of the territory, and when it sees a creature intruding, it immediately flicks its tail and slams it.

Isaac couldn't dodge it and was swept away.

With a bang, Isaac slowly slipped off the wall on the other side.

"Don't worry about him, Wright, you go up and entangle the lava lizard. Reece shoots him in the eye, I support him with magic, Buckle cheers him on, Roy... Roy, you're free. ”

As a martial artist like an assassin, Bakr was indeed not suitable for fighting with this kind of guy covered in magma, so he could only squat to the side with his head drooped.

Wright drew his two-handed greatsword behind his back, and a death charge quickly rushed to the lava lizard's side. The lava lizard turned and opened its mouth to bite Wright.

Wright swung his sword from the bottom to the top at great speed, hitting the lizard's jaw, but the lava lizard in front of him, which weighed more than three meters, weighed more than a thousand pounds, and the blow could only make its head rise, and it could not knock it over.

After the blow, Wright stepped back, and the lizard, who had just raised his head, was shot by Reese's arrow!

"666! Reese, you're awesome!"

Lilith then hit the lava lizard with a fireball, but did no real damage.

Seeing Buckle looking at her, Lilith said with some embarrassment: "What do you see, I know it has high flame resistance, but Miss Ben likes to set fires, what's the matter?"

Bakr protested in a low voice, "You can use earth-based spells!"

Lilith said disdainfully, "Only explosions are art, and I don't use that kind of earth-based spell that has no sense of art." ”

Buckle suddenly lost some confidence in the mission.

"Poof!" a sharp stone pillar burst out of the ground and hit the lizard's hind legs, piercing its hind legs entirely. That's right, Lilith said no, but she used the earth spell in her hand very smoothly.

Buckle crouched on the ground, staring at Lilith dumbfounded. "How can a person be so brazen as this!"
