Chapter 2101: Ash Annihilation at Dawn (33)
At the same time (?), the Dawn region, the nomadic region of the Gypsies, in the air a kilometer away from Lviv.
[The Great Hunting Festival] is about to begin.
"It's finally here. Albert whispered, and reached out to shake the sleeping cat-man boy Mut behind him: "Wake up, it's already here." "
"Huh......?" the cat boy had just taken the time to get some sleep, as he had been told that once the ritual of the Great Hunting Festival began, the incident might continue until early in the morning. If you don't take advantage of this moment to take a little rest, you won't have a chance in the future.
"Wow. As soon as Mutter opened his eyes and looked at it, he was immediately shocked by the bustling lights on the ground. He thought that such a remote and desolate place as Lviv, in the very center of the Dawn region, should not have such a prosperous scene. But the reality is very different from what he imagined, and the whole area of Lviv is now like a busy city, and it is a busy city with a big carnival.
Countless orcs are holding torches, illuminating the area. Five steps to a wooden stake, the stake is full of illuminated lights, even if those lights are just ordinary charcoal fire held on an iron plate. Hunters have planted thousands of traps around Lviv, just waiting for the monsters to step on them. And these lights around are arranged to make the trap more conspicuous and not hurt their own people. And this large area of lights like a sea of fire extends all the way to all directions, as far as the eye can see, God knows how many traps the hunters have laid, and how many demonic beasts can be killed by these traps?
Charcoal fires burn for a limited amount of time, and they are completely extinguished in the middle of the night. At that time, this brightly lit Lviv will be plunged into darkness, and in this darkness, countless magical beasts will surge and begin to stage a competition with the monster hunters to hunt and be hunted, kill and be killed.
"According to the annual statistics, there are about three million large demonic beasts active in the entire Dawning Region. "And they don't seem to be able to kill any matter they want, and the number of monsters that appear in the [Great Hunting Festival] every year seems to continue to increase." "
"It's scary to think about. Mutt muttered in a low voice, "Every year there are heavy casualties, right?"
Albert was silent for a moment.
"People always die. He replied in a circle, "No matter how trained a Warcraft hunter is, there is always a chance that he will die in this kind of melee. Despite this, the Hunter Organization would summon Monster hunters with enough experience to participate in the Great Hunt Festival, so the number of casualties was always kept to a minimum. Moreover, those who survived the last Great Hunt Festival will learn from the experience and become more powerful. So don't worry, this year's Great Hunting Festival will also have a smooth transition. ...... Absolutely. "
Despite Albert's words, his body was honest. The cat-man boy who was sitting behind the tiger man and hugged Albert's waist tightly, he could clearly feel that Albert's body was shaking slightly involuntarily when he said these words.
Was that fear, or was it trembling with anger or remorse?
In the middle of the city of Lviv is a huge pyramid-shaped building, which is the brightest part of the brightly lit city. Albert's Iron Rider was heading towards the building, seemingly intending to land on the flat, open roof of the large building.
It was only when he flew close enough that it became clear to him that the "city" of Lviv was actually close to a fortress. The two or three-storey stone buildings around it, although they also have windows and empty rooms inside, they have no doors on the first floor. The stone towers weren't meant to be inhabited, but for Monster hunters to hide in, shoot arrows from those tiny windows, or throw lethal flying tools like *. These stone towers were obviously only built to fight against the invading demonic beasts in the [Great Hunting Festival], and since there is no door on the first floor, it means that the passages to enter and exit the stone buildings are all underground. In other words, the whole of Lviv is a huge fortress connected by an underground labyrinth. In the very center of this "fortress", the only huge pyramid that can be climbed up will become a command tower for the high-level command of the hunter organization during the [Great Hunting Festival].
On the ground, and with the buildings hidden underground, this Lviv "fortress" is actually a very magnificent structure, much more magnificent than it seems. Normally, it would not be possible to build such a magnificent structure in a short period of time, even with the labor of orcs, but the rabbits seem to be an exception.
After all, the rabbits are the famous "Warcraft Messengers", who can serve the less ferocious Warcraft to a certain extent, making the Warcraft their biggest workforce. This advantage can be said to be impeccable when used architecturally.
Whoosh------ Albert's iron knight roared and landed on the pyramid in the middle. The buildings around him were all thick stones, and I don't know if they had been enchanted or not, and Mutter always felt an indescribable sense of calmness when he stepped on the ground. The person who came to greet him was a decent-looking leopard man, and beside him was another tiger man with a lot of scars, stronger muscles, and a wild air all over his body.
Mutter certainly didn't know the leopard man, but the cat man boy had some impression of the tiger man, and he was supposed to be Castro, the vice president of the hunter organization.
"You're here. Castro stepped forward and looked at Albert angrily, "I thought you wouldn't come to the Great Hunt Sacrifice again, you lazy fellow!"
"Hey, how can this fun activity be without my share? Albert smiled heartlessly. It seems that he is very bad at dealing with his past masters, and it can even be said that he is afraid of Castro.
"And you've brought people who have nothing to do with this big hunting festival," Tigerman Castro glanced at Mutt, "What are you kids thinking?"
"What are you afraid of," the tiger man youth pressed the cat man boy's head, "wouldn't it be good to place him in the central temple, as long as he doesn't run around, there will be no problems." "
"What if the Monster Hunters are wiped out and the Monsters attack the Central Temple?" asked the Leopard Man on the side.
"That's why I'm here just to keep that from happening. Albert replied confidently.
"Hmph. Take your liking. Unexpectedly, Castro, who had always been fierce to Albert, did not continue to embarrass the tiger youth: "But remember. The people you bring with you are protected by yourself. If you can't do that, you're a failing hunter. "
"I don't need you to teach you this, master. Albert replied sarcastically.
"Humph!" Castro snorted, turning to leave.
"The leopard man was going to follow, but then he turned to look at Albert's iron knight, "What are you going to do with this thing?"
"It would be nice to have a tarmac that can be raised and lowered at any time," Albert said, pulling out the starting key of the Iron Rider and hanging it around his neck, "so that I can drive the Iron Rider back whenever I want." "
"What?" Castro, who had already walked out a few steps, heard Albert's speech, and immediately turned his head to look at the tiger with an angry face: "Are you serious?!Driving this kind of thing? Go back? You have already come, but you still plan to leave Lviv halfway, leave the Great Hunting Sacrifice alone, leave the Hunters' Association alone, and go back by yourself? ha?!"
"Can't meow?" Albert made a deliberately stupid expression, "Even if it used to be a big hunting festival that lasted ten days and ten nights, everyone still had intermission time every day, right?"
"Innocent!" Castro roared, "Do you really think that halftime is enough for you to do this? Yes, we can control the number and amplitude of each wave of Warcraft attacks a little, but that doesn't mean we can completely control the activities of Warcraft. In fact, after dealing with a wave of demonic beasts, it is enough to choke, and there is very little time to rest, which is definitely not enough for you to rush back to Cairo from here!"
"Wait, he's going back to Cairo?" what does that mean------" The leopard man on the side didn't understand the conversation between the two masters and apprentices, and began to ask.
"What about that------ Albert ignored the leopard man, and suddenly snorted, "In short, as long as you kill every wave of demonic beasts as quickly as possible, right?"
"How do you want to ------"
Castro wanted to ask, but he didn't say anything more halfway through.
It should be said that it was excessive surprise that prevented him from continuing the conversation.
Because, the scene that appeared in front of him was really incomprehensible to ordinary people.
Albert, in front of Castro, split into twelve.
Each of these tiger youth who appeared out of thin air is an entity, each of them is a real tiger man youth, and each of them is the Warcraft hunter Albert. Each one is a master of using bows and arrows and scimitars, and has a high level of combat power------ the ability to fight to the death against monsters.
"I can conjure more. Alberts looked at Castro and said in unison, "If the Warcraft can rely on crowd tactics to exhaust us, then why can't Meow fight back in the same way?"
"What the hell is this...... Is it magic?" Castro snorted in surprise as he looked at the group of Alberts.
"This is [the fourth miracle------ karma (fate) creation]. The Alberts replied in unison.
