Chapter 263: Migration
"Ah...... God bless Rog, I'm finally out of that cursed place. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
The moment Kane stepped into Rog's camp, the old man in his tattered robes let out such an exclamation.
"I'm glad you escaped the demons, Sage Kane. Akara brought Kasha and a number of Roges to greet the renowned scholar.
"Sage, what's wrong with your hair?" Kashya's face improved a lot after the Blood Crow was killed.
Kane glanced at the embarrassed Millhouse and smiled, "It was burned by the flames of a little demon." ”
"Well done, Edward the Demon Hunter. Akara laughed, "You saved a very important person for you, and I think Mr. Sage seems to have some big decisions as well?"
"Yes, I am very grateful to these brave men for their good deeds. Kane said solemnly, "Not only did they save my life, but they also avenged the dead people of Tristram." Surely you can't believe it, my dear Akara, that these warriors have wiped out all the demons in Tristram, including my former friend, the corrupted and strong Gracewald. ”
"What the hell is going on in Tristram?" Akara asked, "why is this happening there?"
"Sister Akara, before we talk about this, shouldn't we give Kane a break?" Annia interjected, "and at the same time, we need to rest, knowing that we have just gone through a difficult battle. ”
"This is my faux pas, please come with me. ”

In the camp of Akara, the people were sumptuous - of course, in this environment, the so-called sumptuous hospitality was only a few simple food and inferior wine.
Kane recounted the story of Tristram: "As you all know, the warrior hero once sealed the Lord of Fear, but he overestimated his faith and will, and he did something that seemed great to the world, but it was infinitely troubled - he inserted the Soul Stone of the King of Fear into his body. ”
The upheaval began when the hero grew apathetic, keeping his distance from the rest of the townsfolk and appearing to have stepped into the darkness. As time went on, the hero became more and more crazy and miserable, and I often saw him waking up from his dreams and roaring 'East'. “
Soon after, he left suddenly. Since then, there have been a large number of demons in the vicinity of this area, and from the way he left, I can tell with great certainty that he is no longer the wise and brave hero he is - he is possessed by the Lord of Fear!"
"Afterward, the demon attacked Tristram, killing most of the townspeople, and hanging some of the brave guards in a cage with me. They seem to want to absorb our fears and use them for their benefit. ”
Edward listened quietly to Kane's story, and in the midst of it, he could feel Kane's fear when he mentioned Diablo.
"Now that the demons in Tristram have been destroyed, I suggest you go there and rebuild your camp. "It's in ruins, but her walls are still there, and you only need a little repair to the collapsed house to make it a good place to take refuge." ”
"Moreover, it is so close to the monastery that if the dark wanderer, or perhaps Diablo's plot, is to be stopped, the monastery must be reclaimed, and Andalia must be killed - it is the only way to the East. And Tristram will be the best bridgehead. ”
"Your suggestion is good, Sage of Kane. Akara pondered for a moment and said, "But this place is too far away from Tristram, and we need your help from the Demon Hunter." ”
"We're here to help. Edward thought about it and agreed, it was the best task to gain prestige in this world.

After a day's rest, Rog's camp began to prepare for the relocation, and the people trapped here followed. After another day, the mighty procession began to advance towards the northeast.
Edward rode Alan through the air to scout the team, Hayley led a pair of Rogers at the front of the group, and Legolas rode around on Sorey. The others were in the group, and the main team was surrounded by Rog's troops led by Kashya.
The journey was smooth, and they followed the path Edward had taken to the east, rarely encountering demons. Even the sporadic remnants of the demonic assault force were quickly wiped out by the wandering Legolas alone.
Along the way, many people in the team have seen the strength of Edward and others, and they seem very grateful to be protected by these powerful warriors, and even Milhouse, the weakest-looking "old adult child", has received a lot of admiring eyes.
The party had made it all the way to the Stone Wilderness, where they encountered an obstacle - a tall mountain range blocked the way, and the Kingdom of Westmar had carved an underground passage through it in order to open up a trade route with Rugauin in the east. In the past, this underground passage was dark but was guarded by many Kingdom soldiers. Now, it's a demon's lair.
From this underground passage, the relocated troops will face a huge test.
The moving force was stationed at the dark entrance to the underpass, intending to clear it before advancing. And this task of purging naturally fell on Edward's head.
"How did you get through this underground passage before?" Ania asked Akara curiously.
"When we fled, there were no demons here. "We fled a long way until we reached the original site of Rog's camp before finally coming to a halt, because we had the sea in front of us and the demons behind us. In between, we chose to fight the demons. Luckily, the demon we had to face wasn't very powerful, so we were able to hold on until now. ”
"Legolas, you and I will go into the underground passage first to explore the way. Edward sorted out his equipment and said, "Hayley, I'll leave the rest to you." ”
Hayley wanted to go with Edward, but she knew that it was a bad thing to disobey Edward's orders at all times, so she nodded and agreed.
............
That night, Edward and Legolas returned, with no obvious signs of battle on them, and Kane said in surprise, "Aren't there any demons in the underground passage?"
"No, there are a lot of demons. Edward's answer caused Kane to sigh in disappointment, "We went by stealth, and the demons couldn't spot us, but we saw a lot of demons. ”
"Yes, to get through this underpass, I think it will take some time. Legolas replied to the water bag that Gillian handed over, and said with a fighting spirit, "But this thing is not difficult for us. ”
