Chapter 264: Eliminate the Countess
It has been more than half a month since Edward and the others arrived in the shelter world, and although it is very difficult in this place where materials are scarce, it is a very good training for Edward and the others. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The crowd has grown accustomed to fighting demons every day, and their will and fighting skills have improved through the daily battles.
Edward may have become accustomed to this kind of life, Legolas is active and likes this kind of life, and Hayley, although quiet, has a fearless spirit in her bones that many men do not have, and she, like Aniah, will be content as long as Edward is around. As for Milhouse, it is a typical example of being forced by life, and this usually lazy fellow is also forced to work hard by this life.
The days of cleaning the underground passage did not last long, and every day, Edward and the others would take turns entering the underground passage. From entering in the morning with a group of people to coming out exhausted in the evening, then Rogan of the Blind Sisterhood would enter the underground passages, clear out a large number of demon corpses, and burn them in front of the temporarily stationed camp.
Edward's team is now divided into three groups, with Edward and Ania in one group, Legolas and Gillian in one group, and Hayley and Milhouse in one group, taking turns cleaning the underground passages each day. Hayley was a little resentful of the group, but she also knew that Ania was not strong enough to team up with the others, and only the strongest Edward could keep her safe.
In about a week, the demonic lair of this underground passage was cleared, and it was time for the migrating troops to move on.
When passing through the underground passage, torches are planted on both sides of the tunnel at intervals, illuminating this dark place. Passers-by often see the traces of fierce battles - walls covered with scars and arrows, huge craters smashed by mana, and so on.
Looking at these shocking traces of battle, the people of Rog's camp were even more in awe of Edward and the others, and at the same time, they were glad to have such a powerful group of people protecting them to return home.
After passing through the underground passage, there is the Dark Forest, but this once lush forest can no longer be called a forest. A large number of trees have been corroded by evil, and the ground that was once covered with thick dead leaves has become a wasteland, and only a few trees that are still standing can be seen occasionally scattered in this area, and the area is still full of demons.
"What was once a beautiful forest for travelers to rest, bards to feed, hunters to hunt has become like this. Kane looked at the withered forest and sighed, "I can't imagine what the demons are doing here. The war between Hell and Heaven has chosen the place of our human beings, and I sometimes wonder if both sides are our enemies. ”
"Any force needs to have its own strength. Edward stood beside Kane and said, "Relying on others will only lead to decline." I've heard you tell you a lot of legends about the sanctuary world, and as far as I know, it was the great power of the first humans that attracted the forces of hell and heaven?"
"Yes, the first human beings possessed great power, and they were called Nephitim. "Hediram's last missionary, "But then the World Stone was changed, and Nephiti was gradually weakened, until now, only a few humans have been able to awaken Nephiten's power. Maybe you're the awakened Nephiten?"
Edward was noncommittal about this statement, changing the subject, "How far do we have to go to get to Tristram?"
"After passing through the black wasteland ahead, it's Tristram. But there is another difficulty in front of us, and that is the countess and her fallen Rogers. Kane walked past the Rogers, who were urgently building rudimentary defenses, and looked at the shadows in the dark forest, "This land may be full of fallen Rogges, who were once the lords of this place, the guards of a countess, but the arrival of demons has corrupted them and their leaders. ”
Edward frowned. Compared to the demons, the heavily armed Fallen Rog is even more difficult. They tend to attack in groups, and the instinct of battle allows them to be well organized and cooperative, far more difficult to deal with than a chaotic demon.
Edward took out the map and found the Black Wasteland, in the center of which stood the Tower of Oblivion, which was supposed to be the countess's stronghold.
"Legolas, I'll leave the guarding work to you. Edward turned to Legolas and said, "Hayley, you and I go with you to the Tower of Oblivion and eliminate that countess. ”
Legolas nodded in agreement, and Hayley stood up happily - she finally didn't have to work with the dwarf mage who chattered in battle.
"Why not me?" said Milhouse, who had been fond of anything ever since he knew he would be rewarded for doing the job.
"It's a tower, and the terrain isn't suitable for a mage. Without much explanation, Edward and Hayley jumped on Alan and prepared to go.
"Oh my God, you're going to kill the Countess with just two of you?" Kane said with wide eyes and surprise, "You know, Edward, that's the Countess and her army! they rely on the Tower of Oblivion and have an absolute advantage......"
"That's what I want to do. Edward confidently interrupted the sage, "Kane, you don't see all of me, and I've not had any trouble at all since I came here. Even the battle in Tristram didn't allow me to use all my strength. ”
"Trust me, Sage, I'll be back soon. ”
With that, Edward and Hayley rode Alan in the direction of the Tower of Oblivion.
Edward's confidence stems from his knowledge of the power system. He himself is a legendary-level existence, and in this plane that is not much different from the world of Azeroth, it is estimated that the only thing that can threaten him is the Three Demon Kings of Hell who are about the same strength as the descending Kilgardan, and they are also the Three Demon Kings of Hell in their heyday.
Now, just a corrupted countess, he didn't think he couldn't take out the other party, no matter how many troops she had.
Facts have proven the stage of Edward's strength. Three days later, Alan's chirping was heard in the sky, and in the midst of many admiring eyes, Edward descended with the countess's head in his hand, and he and Hayley were covered in green demonic blood, and their armor was covered with scars, but they were radiant and had no expression of defeat.
"It amazes me, Edward. Kane met Edward and Hayley, who had jumped off Alan, in disbelief, and said in surprise, "You're really surprising me, how strong are you?"
"Enough to destroy any evil in this world!" Edward said with a smile, spreading his hands, revealing a lot of runes. (To be continued.) )
