Heart of Darkness?
Wu Liang nodded, thoughtful. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Heart of Darkness is a collection of all the dark sides of the world, and is at opposite ends of the heart of light. By accident, Wu Liang obtained two Dark Hearts, one of which originated from the Seal of the White Hand of Bone Longtoya, and the other was found in the tomb of Zodon Kuller, the heroic graveyard of Hradim. The former was exchanged for benefits by the Church of Rasma, and the latter was used by Diablo to save the life of Lord Kane, who was still hidden in the body of Old Dika.
"I should have thought that there was something wrong with the Heart of Darkness." Wu Liang groaned and said to Jiang Luan, "Don't discuss this yet, are you still safe in the Death Swamp?" ā
Jiang Luan nodded, and her black shiny hair hung down softly, revealing a snow-white jade neck.
"We're exploring a mage ruin, and it's safe for the time being, so I forgot to tell you that I've become a sixth-order elemental mage."
Looking at Jiang Luan's smile, Wu Liang's mood also improved, and the two chatted a few more words and kissed goodbye.
The night was deep, and Wu was tossing and turning.
ā¦ā¦
Early in the morning, the morning sun comes from the east.
The inside and outside of the moat fortress are ready to go, and they are solemn. At this time, the Qingluan Cavalry had completed the transfer of duties with the Black Prison Knights, so all actions in the fortress were taken care of by the high-level leaders of the Qingluan Palace.
Black Thorn had already led all the Black Prison Knights through the gate of the fortress and came to the boundless land on the other side, and rode away without waiting for Wu Liang. Wu also had to personally control the flow of players through the fortress, and by the way, send away those opponents and friends who were about to embark on a difficult road.
The mad demon became the first player to pass through the front and rear gates of the fortress, he was arrogant and arrogant, and he should ignore Wu Liang, and in the entire high-level of the Triumphal Gate, only the wise general Gru and the priest on the Rhine River said goodbye to Wu Liang, and the rest all followed the posture of the mad demon, but the lark belonging to the mercenary alliance secretly pinched a throwing short axe, and in the end he still pressed the whole idea of being ready to move.
According to the results of the discussion at the meeting, the phalanx of four players will choose four different directions to march, following the 200,000 players of the Arc de Triomphe, taking a path in the middle, which can reach Westmar the fastest, but it is also the most difficult, bound to be full of twists and turns, but it is also in line with the character of the madman.
The second group of players is led by the ace, and the injured muscles and bones are the leaders of this phalanx, assisted by the ace high-level leaders led by Qingmei a pot of wine, but what surprised Wu was that Zhao Huangqi was also in the ace phalanx, and followed Qingmei with a pot of wine in frustration.
Before Wu Liang could speak, Zhao Laoshi raised his palm: "Liangpi, what should you do, say one more word, I will be in a hurry with you!" ā
Wu rolled his eyes, glanced at the woman in Tsing Yi sitting firmly on the mount, and smiled deliberately: "Everyone else is a husband and a wife, and they have come to you...... Hey! ā
Zhao Huangqi grinned at Wu Liang for a while, and had the heart to refute, but because of the sharp spear that appeared in front of his neck, he could only smile and put it away, and echoed flatteringly: "The woman sings the husband with the most glorious, the most glorious!" ā
Qingmei took back the jujube spear with a pot of wine, and rode alone to the north, Zhao Huangqi hurriedly rode his horse to chase after him, and shouted without looking back: "It's important to chase after your wife, Liangpi, let's settle accounts after the autumn!" ā
Ha ha!
He smiled with his pipe in his mouth, and arched his hand to Wu Liang, with a bold face: "We have to meet with the people of the northern grassland first, so it may be a little later, let's go, don't delay your business, find an opportunity to call Guo Erli to drink together." ā
Wu Liang nodded and sent the aces away.
Then came the men and horses of the Blood Crusade, and Constantine's face was calm, and he could not see that he had just been severely attacked. Although the relationship between the two was similar to that of a gentleman's friend, he didn't stop long, just nodded to Wu Liang, and then took the uniform blood-colored cavalry along another central route and went deep into the land of the undead.
Wu Liang watched the blood crusade gradually move away, and shook his head lightly: "I really can't see through, Constantine, where to go?" ā
Finally, there is a phalanx of players led by two women, Fenglin Volcano and Yue Dongfang, the former is heroic and dressed in silver knight armor, quite heroic, and the latter shows the beauty of women's weakness, looking at the charming and natural lazy eyes, Wu Liang feels hot in his heart.
Ahem!
Wu didn't dare to make a style problem, and he didn't even have the heart to say hello to the Fenglin Volcano, so he handed over the matter to Nai He Qiao, summoned the resurrected bone spirit dragon horse, and ran away in a puff of smoke.
The gang leader Li Bingtian went online very late, and when he saw Wu Liang running away, he was confused, looking at the expressionless Nai He Bridge, and thought that he couldn't ask about anything, so he asked Dou Dou who was standing aside, but Xiao Zhengtai only looked at Yue Dongfang's graceful demeanor, his cheeks were red, his head was dizzy, and he couldn't speak.
Fenglin Volcano and Yuedong bid farewell to their allies Qingluan Palace, and led the last 200,000 players to embark on the southerly route, so far, only 50,000 Qingluan cavalry and the logistics personnel of several major guilds were left in the Tianqian Fortress.
"Alas...... It's all gone......"
Li Bingtian stretched his waist, yawned and said, "I have to go to King's Port, the teacher seems to be looking for me urgently, remember to call Miss Ben when the meal arrives!" ā
Watching Li Bingtian leave, Nai He Qiao, who temporarily took over the post of governor of the fortress, ordered the front and rear gates to be closed.
"From today onwards, I'm afraid we won't be able to sleep well every day!"
Attacking De Wuliang sighed with emotion, and returned to his residence, as a pharmacist, he moved his laboratory here, ready to stay here. That year, the weeping willow did not stay here, but escaped into the dark mountain range next to it, and did not know where to go, leaving only the Nai He Bridge and Dou Dou Town to guard the fortress.
"Nai Ho Qiao, can I ask a question?"
Walking in the passage of the fortress, Dou Dou asked timidly, and the tall knight beside him nodded slightly.
"Is the Trench Fortress really that important?"
However, the bridge paused, and said solemnly: "No matter what, the Heavenly Trench Fortress cannot be lost, otherwise, there is no way forward, no way back, this action related to the overall trial of the player, the hope of success will be very slim." ā
Dou Dou seemed to understand or not, and nodded slightly.
ā¦ā¦
Black Thorn didn't rush straight into the hinterland of Westmar, he led the Black Prison Knight on a seemingly bumpy and tortuous path. The speed of the knights' march was not fast, so it didn't take Wu Liang much time to join them.
Wu someone, who had a stomach full of doubts, immediately said: "Black Thorn, now you don't have to hide it from me." ā
After a moment of silence, Black Thorn looked at the gray world in front of him and asked, "What do you want to know?" ā
"Something I should know!"
Wu Liang's voice was firm and powerful.
"The invasion of the Chaos Exodus is imminent, but there is a big hidden danger in the shelter, His Excellency Jordon Kuler knows that you and I have the intention of going west, so he took the lead and secretly united many forces to try to eradicate the scourge within a month." Black Thorn said slowly, when he returned from the Aranok Desert, Joton Kuhler had a secret conversation with him on the alchemy airship.
Wu Liang suddenly said: "No wonder you were so confident at the beginning, it turned out that someone supported you!" ā
Black Thorn continued: "But the original tone was that you and I were in the east, the Dark Mountains in the south, the northern steppes and the Free Church in the north, besieging the land of the dead on three sides, but after the incident between you and Aaron, Lord Kuler changed his mind and decided to use the warriors of all sides as the main force of the attack, and the original forces took on the role of sharp knives to guide the war. ā
"Then why didn't I know about it?" Wu Liang was a little puzzled.
Glancing at someone Wu, Black Thorn said, "Do you know how?" Don't know what? ā
Bared his teeth, Wu Liang was slightly angry: "Black Thorn, really speaking, the two of us are at the same level, what kind of attitude do you have?" ā
Black Thorn sneered: "Your Excellency Jolton Kuler has told me that you have to do all the dirty work!" ā
Well?
Wu Liang's eyes widened, the initiator of his feelings is a great genius, is it really me a firefighter?
Wu was about to speak, Matthews suddenly came to the two of them, and said in a deep voice: "Commander, you sentinel came to report, a large number of undead were found thirty miles ahead, and the number was no less than 100,000. ā
The atmosphere suddenly froze, the black thorns looked into the distance, and the eyes were a plain field, the gray earth could hardly see any undulations, the grass and trees withered, the living creatures retreated, and only some undead were wandering at will. After the Heavenly Trench Fortress, the land of Westmar is almost no longer dangerous, suitable for large-scale cavalry attacks, but it is also conducive to the undead to give full play to their numerical superiority, and the 100,000 undead are nothing to the entire undead race.
"There will be a large city in another eighty miles, and there are probably no less than a million undead gathered there, and once we are held back by these 100,000 undead, there is likely to be an accident." Black Thorn calmly analyzed.
Wu Liang glanced at the endless gray world and said, "Maybe if we bypass these millions of undead, we will encounter tens of millions of undead, I'd better inquire first." ā
Wu Liang then contacted Muhammad, who reluctantly gave a map of the main distribution of the undead in the land of Westmar.
"Shhh Wu Liang gasped, "How can there be so many?" Muhammad, don't take the opportunity to take revenge and give false information! ā
Muhammad, who was about to have a nervous breakdown by someone Wu, was furious when he heard this: "You can doubt my personality, but you can't doubt my intelligence!" The reason why the undead are powerful is because of the huge race of hundreds of millions of people, otherwise they would have been wiped out long ago. ā
Rolling his eyes, Wu Liang insisted on questioning: "But this is too much, it's 300 million!" How did you do that? ā
"Humph!"
Muhammad snorted coldly: "It's not your turn to care, you just need to know that there will be no mistakes in the information provided by me, Muhammad!" ā
"Cut!" Wu Liang disdainfully, "What's the use of just gathering intelligence? The first few times you didn't prepare as well, but what happened? ā
Muhammad hated it so much that he said "believe it or not" and hung up the call with his friend.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Jerusalem's bald head asked tentatively, and Muhammad glared.
"It's none of your business, what should you do!"
Black Thorn paid more attention to the information provided by Muhammad, and outlined in his mind the territory of Westma and the distribution of the undead, his face was slightly gloomy, according to the information provided by Muhammad, the route he had previously envisioned would plunge into the gathering place of up to eight million undead, and there would be more than a million undead on the left and right sides at that time, so there was no need to have illusions about the retreat.
Now in front of the Black Thorns, there are only two paths, one is to return to the diversion and temporarily follow behind the triumphal phalanx, and the other is to advance dangerously, passing through the middle of the two million-level undead gathering places. There are pros and cons to both paths, the former is destined to slow down and look worse on the face, but it is safe. The latter, though a bit more risky, would be able to pass through the first line of undead defenses and enter the relatively safe hinterland of Westmar, where it is worth mentioning that the old nest of the Black Thorns is located.
"Black Thorns, I think it's better to hold off on the march, and wait for the rest of the Quartet to open up the situation, and it's not too late to make a calculation."
If there were Qingluan cavalry behind him, Wu Liang would not hesitate to choose to take the risk, but more than half of the Black Prison Knights were aborigines, Wu Liang thought about it and chose a conservative strategy.
It's just that after a moment of silence, Black Thorn immediately instructed Matthews: "Order all the sentinels to go deeper twenty miles, concentrate on exploring the directions that can be traversed, and the rest of them will stand by for the time being!" ā
Wu Liang frowned: "Black Thorn, have you thought about it?" ā
"It's still inconclusive, let's see the feedback!"
Black Thorn's eyes were cold, and he couldn't resist, Wu shook his head, so he had to come to the end of the cavalry and wait for the arrival of the square K.
Due to dragging three hundred family members, the speed of block K was a little slow, and when the front side of the sentry sent back the news again, block K that turned into a shepherd finally appeared in front of Wu Liang's eyes.
"What's going on?"
Block K wiped a sweat, physically and mentally exhausted, although with the pitch black cross, it is not difficult to subdue the undead, but due to the characteristics of the undead, it is still difficult to run long distances, fortunately, block K is subdued by skeletons, there is no real oil bottle zombie.
"I don't know, let's come together!"
Wu Liang saw that the three hundred undead had been placed in the square K, so he took him to the front of the Black Thorn, and immediately heard: "April Fool's Day, it's time for you to play!" ā
Standing still, Wu scolded in his heart: "It seems like there are others!" ā
Black Thorn showed the map he had drawn himself, commanded the low depression thirty miles ahead, and said, "I will lead the Knights to quickly kill these 100,000 undead, and your task is to contain the undead who have rushed to support and make enough space for me." ā
"Stop, stop!"
Wu immediately changed color: "I'm alone!" Contain millions of undead! Did you skip breakfast or was I daydreaming? ā
"I've calculated that clearing this depression in three minutes will give you plenty of time to create the illusion of confusing the undead." Black Thorn's voice was very solemn.
"Stop!"
Wu Liangtou didn't look back, so he had to walk back.
"Black Thorn, from today onwards, you take your single-plank bridge, and I take my Yangguan Road!"
"You have to be reliable even if you're whimsical!" (To be continued.) )
