Chapter 596: Wolves
The monster is open, the monster hunt is open, and the ti is open, but I'm still working overtime.
..................
Time is precious, especially Langdon's time, and the door that seems to reach all the way to heaven is like a huge weighing stone on Langdon's heart.
So, when a decision is made, action becomes very fast.
Only a week elapsed between Alfred's proposal and the dispatch of troops.
During this week, on the one hand, the intelligence agency that had been fully controlled by Tior was sent into the half-lake forest to investigate, and on the other hand, people were sent to ask the adventurers who had been operating in the half-lake forest for many years to inquire about the situation in the half-lake forest.
Then, a week later, everyone in the unit up to the Squad Leader level was given a map showing their route and several possible camping locations, and under Langdon's personal guidance, they left the Enchanted City and entered the Forest of the Half Lake.
"This is the location of the last camp, not too far from the center of the forest and the half of the lake, and the vegetation is a little looser on the way back from here than elsewhere, making it easier to open the way, and besides, it is not difficult to open a road from here to the entrance of the passage, which is a good opportunity if you want to open up the territory in both directions, as the adults said before. ”
Alfred walked beside Langdon and pointed to the map to explain to Langdon.
Until now, it was Langdon who had brought troops up from the underground, and only the inhabitants who were the foundation of the Enchanted City were the only ones, and this situation was far from being completely open to the free circulation of the ground and underground.
After all, they are two completely different worlds, not only are the races, customs almost different, but most importantly, the danger that comes with them makes most people shy away from crossing the passage to another world.
Although there are many people in history who have put forward slogans such as communication between the top and bottom, in fact, except for those who are arrogant enough to want to unify the entire main plane, no one is sincere, except for Langdon.
However, there has been no opportunity.
It's not as simple as opening a passageway, it's about making people really understand that it's not dangerous to go through a passage to another world.
Previously, it had been difficult to do so, even if Landon was a guard along the way.
But now it's different.
Langdon looked at the map and immediately understood what Alfred meant, and indeed his own.
The deepest part of the camp was much closer to the entrance of the passage than to the previous one, and all else being equal, it was not difficult to guide them to the camp at the entrance of the passage.
And as long as someone goes, the next guidance can continue.
"Anyway, that village was built by my father-in-law, and it was cheaper for me, but in this way, it needs to be expanded, at least the perimeter must be strengthened, and it will be used as a stronghold with sufficient defenses......" Langdon listened to Alfred explain, thinking to himself.
The biosphere of the Forest of Half a Lake is more interesting, except for the lake that is said to be blessed by the gods, the distribution of monster strength and danger levels throughout the forest is in a circle, going deeper and deeper in a circle.
The deeper you go into the forest, the more dangerous it becomes, and the fewer people have the strength and courage to enter, especially in the very center of the forest, where legendary monsters are said to exist.
The Forest of Banhu is an early adventurous place, and as more and more adventurers have joined it over the years, the forest has become more and more developed, and more people have gone deeper in order to gain more benefits.
Just like the exit of the passage, fifty years ago, it was still a transition zone from the middle layer to the deep layer, but now it has become a transition from the outer layer to the middle level, so that when Landon first came to the surface, he encountered such an adventure team whose strength was simply unsightly.
The outer layer expands, giving the weaker adventurers more opportunities, while the stronger ones can only go deeper, but what awaits them in the inner layer is a denser and stronger presence than before.
Perhaps there is really magic in that lake, and the forest of the half-lake has been steadily maintaining an ecological cycle.
Even though the number of adventurers has increased countless times over the years, the various creatures in the Forest of Half Lake have not been hunted empty, and they still maintain a stable number.
In this case, the number of organisms in the outer layer is small, not captured, but driven by the innate sense of danger of the creatures, they spontaneously retreat into the depths of the forest.
In other words, the number of creatures in the outer layer decreases, the number of creatures in the inner layer increases, and the increase is an enhanced version of the increased strength.
As a result, the casualties of adventurers who go to the inner adventures will inevitably increase, but more and more people will still go deeper and deeper driven by the greater good.
In this case, if someone can establish a nearby area where they can hide, rest, heal, and retreat, they will inevitably be greatly welcomed.
It is not an exaggeration to say that in addition to the teams sent by various forces, the income of other teams in the depths of the forest can be easily covered by such a stronghold - this is a huge amount of income!
What's more, if this can be achieved above and below the ground, Langdon, as the only way to master it, will be able to obtain immeasurable benefits, not only money, but all-round benefits!
Just as he was thinking, a rapid running sound came from the front, and the dragon ran all the way to a few people, and hurriedly reported: "My lord, there are wolves blocking the way ahead!
"Quantity!" Alfred asked in a deep voice, and at the same time his eyes showed doubt, they are still in the outer area, there is still some distance from the first predetermined stronghold, there will be monsters here, but they are basically alone, how can there be a group?
"It's too many, too many to count!" replied the dragon.
After a slight groan, Alfred spoke decisively, "Tell the front team, prepare to ......"
"Wait!" Langdon interrupted suddenly, with a strange look on his face, "You mean...... Wolves?"
"Yes, sir. The dragon replied.
"Let's go, go over and have a look. Langdon said, walking forward.
The troops of thousands of men had completely stopped, and the team of villains who had been in the front were all unsheathed and confronted the enemy on the opposite side.
The enemy, of course, is the wolves, and at a glance, at least hundreds of wolves are standing less than thirty meters away.
Strangely, they also seemed to have received some orders, and despite all the bared teeth and threatening gestures, none of them rushed forward.
Langdon jumped straight past the crowd to the front of the line and looked across the line.
Almost as soon as he appeared, a long howl suddenly erupted from the wolves on the opposite side.
Then, a gray-white shadow suddenly jumped out of the pack of wolves and rushed towards this side at an alarming speed!
