Chapter 077: Crisis is Imminent

Under the cool night sky, a group of three people stood on the lawn.

They were talking and laughing with each other, as if they were talking about something happy, but everyone understood that there was an invisible pressure on their shoulders behind this chatter, especially as the baron of Wanghuo City, he knew that he would abandon Wanghuo City unless the defeated situation did not change, after all, this was his territory.

Hearing Albert's words, Grant always felt that something was wrong, although a group of regular troops from the Mars Empire would arrive in three days, but only three days, no one knew what would happen. Nothing had happened since the war elf retreated a month ago.

But the other party has already known that Wanghuo City has reacted, and believes that there will be a next step in the near future.

"Forget it, anyway, I was going to wait for the Emir's birthday party and leave and head to the mage lands to the north." Grant thought to himself, he knew that he could have left a long time ago, especially after getting the mage's notes from the mage's graveyard. But because of Emir's birthday, he still wanted to give the other party a happy end, so he stayed.

Now, it's all done. He didn't miss it anymore, and as for the slums, he could only give them a portion of the gold coins, and let them get out of here as much as possible and go to the towns to the north. As for whether it is useful or not, this is not Grant's concern at all, he just does something worthy of his conscience.

"I think it's better to be careful in this matter, and if it's really too dangerous, it's better to leave as soon as possible." Grant suggested from the bottom of his heart, he understood that the responsibilities of a position like a baron in the Glory World were very small, and most of them belonged to the nature of being the king of the mountain, and he was not strictly a lord directly under the Mars Empire.

According to the game's background, Wanghuo City itself is a place of war. Later, because after the war elves and humans quelled the war, there was no foreign invasion, so that the great-grandfather of the Hanmo family came here, he bought this fief at a cheap price, and after a long time of training, it gradually became a small territory, from Albert's generation, he already has two knight territories, and also has his own mage tower.

The rapid expansion of strength made it impossible for the orc tribes who arrived later to capture Wanghuo City.

Albert nodded, he knew exactly what Grant meant. If that happens, he can only take a group of people to leave here and go to another wasteland, and use the resources in his hands to build a new baron's territory, although he will lose nearly sixty percent of his financial resources, but at least he can stabilize the family.

The scavenger stood aside and gently sipped his glass, he didn't speak, and his wise eyes looked at Albert's chat with Grant, and he knew that none of the things in front of him were his concern.

"Whew~~~"

The empty lawn suddenly set off a cool breeze, making Grant's hair a little messy.

Albert also let the breeze blow sober, sensing that the banquet was already halfway through, he knew that as the leader of Wanghuo City, it was necessary to preside over the last few important processes of the entire banquet, knowing that the time had come, he took out the gift he had wanted to give to Grant, thinking that it was necessary to get closer to him when he came, after all, there was a second-order mage standing behind him.

"That's right, Grant. I have a gadget here that I got from the orcs last time, and I heard that it is an alchemy item, and I don't use it much. In addition to giving the scavenger two pieces, I have one more for you now. ”

Albert took out a pitch-black square stone from his chest, and the stone under his fist faintly emitted a rich black halo under the moonlight, and several inexplicable runes swam on the surface of the stone like small fish, which attracted Grant's attention, and he narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining the stone.

"Detection." Grant's eyes crossed a list of blue data, because some of the memories of the mages in the Glory World had been washed away, and he couldn't recognize what this black stone was, but he could feel that the mana fluctuations emanating from it should belong to the alchemy product. At the same time, it can be determined that some of this is within the range of the mage. ”

With a burst of complex data arranging out.

"Exploding Stone (Consumption) Additional Status: After inputting 0 mana and spiritual power into it, it can urge the nine runes inside to produce an explosive effect with its own substance, which is a one-time product."

After seeing this stone, Grant also realized that this stone was indeed a good thing, and he had to get it in his hands. He smiled slightly: "Thank you, Baron!" ”

As he said this, he stretched out a pair of slender and somewhat pale hands to take the Exploding Stone. As soon as you start it, you feel a warm feeling.

"It's fine, it's just that I don't need it." The baron said with a smile on his face, and after withdrawing his hands, he was going to return to the castle with the scavenger, and now that most of the time has passed, everyone must be in a hurry.

"Yes." Grant agrees.

Outside the city of Wanghuo.

A dense forest bathed in the glow of the silver moon, here is the fir forest outside the city, in the depths of the fir forest, a creepy wolf howl, floating throughout the forest from a distance, on the bare fangy white stone, some emerald green phosphorus fire still swaying, shaking the flames with the breeze.

At this time, in the Black Forest, more than a dozen black figures were tightly hiding in the bare sharp stones, they were dressed in dark green robes, it was difficult to distinguish their identities in the moonlight, and their faces were covered in vague shadows by hoods.

Through the faint moonlight, the long silver hair and the handsome face, especially the pair of green pupils, were enough to prove that they were war elves.

At this time, Christ, who was wearing a dark green Italian robe, with a hood covering his entire face in the dark, his hands covered with a layer of black leather covers, propped up on the branches, letting his body sway with the shaking of the leaves, and his eyes in the shadow of the hood were focused on the direction of the city walls of Wanghuo City, and he found that because of the last deliberate appearance, the defensive strength of the entire Wanghuo City had greatly increased.

The city wall, which was originally guarded by only a dozen people, was tripled, causing the city wall to be brightly lit, and there was no way to cross it.

"Hmph, this incompetent waste human. When it was known that the huge bodies of the orcs could not penetrate the city walls, the defense at night was always small. Now that he knows that the war elves may infiltrate, he triples his defense, but does this number alone think it will be enough? Christ scoffed.
