Chapter 144: The War Expands

To the east of the wilderness, the border with the seaside nation of Gypsy Saine is at a fever pitch. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After leaving the hill of the Crypt Spider, Wang Mistaken flew in dragon form for several days before approaching the area, and he reverted back to the form of a raven before entering the original location of the barbarian tribe to the east.

The body of the dragon is too large to attract attention even if it flies from afar, but the state of the raven is not easy to attract people's attention.

He flew over the Argus Mountains, a natural barrier separating the wilderness from the Eastern Kingdoms, and because of the low terrain, it was easy to get most of his troops through by turning his troops into a small force.

Wang Cuo flew as high as he could, he had seen the barbarian spear throw, and that distance was really not something that a human could reach. If you're unlucky, you'll have to chase after a few bored barbarians.

But even if it is raised, it cannot reach the clouds with the crow's body.

The further up he went, the more he felt that the water vapor around him was too heavy, and it was more difficult for his wings to flapp...... Most of the time in the wilderness is hot, and the temperature is too high, and the more you feel the water vapor when you fly in the air.

No wonder it doesn't rain in the wilderness all year round! The eyes are also better able to see what is happening on the face.

He found that the symbolic mage tower of the human kingdom has appeared not far away at the end of the mountain range, and the mage tower has the function of transmitting information in the human kingdom, and the light emitted by the tower can echo with the intersection in the city, so the mage tower is usually built on the border of the country, and only the local border soldiers know what kind of information it represents for each different light.

This is what Wang Cuo learned during his more than a year of living in the human world.

But...... When he looked closer, he found that there were no more soldiers stationed around the mage tower, and the walls were broken, as if they had been in battle.

This place has already been conquered, but only in a few days!

It's only been a dozen days since the last time I came here, and although it's a periphery, according to the habit of human generals, shouldn't the other party be blocked on the border, and if you reach the country, the country may incur huge losses.

I thought it would be a position for the two armies to face each other, but I didn't want the human side to hold on.

Wang Cuo was thinking about how to complain about the incompetence of the human general, but when he flew a distance, he realized that things might not be as simple as he thought.

You can already see the wall surrounding the hill, encompassing the entire mountain...... It should be a human city, and it is not too small, and the walls are also very damaged, and there are no people to be seen.

What about the people! The people in the city.

Instinctively feeling that something was not quite right, Wang Cuo sped up the speed of his flight.

As the city wall approached, you could see piles of corpses stacked under the wall, all wearing armor and soldiers defending the city.

Quickly descend to altitude and stop at the top of a fortress in the city walls.

A disgusting smell of corpses came up, it was very hot, such corpses would stink in a few days, and he could see a swarm of flies crawling around the mountain of corpses, and there were piles of corpses as far as the eye could see.

Why is it that the battlefield that has only been a few days has passed as if it had been months, and the soldiers of this country are too weak? Or are the barbarians too strong in combat?

...... in the city Don't know what's going on in the city?

The king had no time to look at the rotten corpses, and turned and flew into the city.

Fly along the city's main thoroughfare...... The streets were littered with corpses, both men and women, some of them unclothed, and the shops around were so shattered that it was impossible to tell if the barbarians had done it or if there had been a riot of their own in the city. The more wars there are, the more such things happen, and there are always people who want to take advantage of the chaos.

Nobody, nobody, except for the rancid smell of the whole city.

He flew over a wide plaza with a stone statue of an elderly scholar whose feet were red with blood.

Ding Ding ...... Ding Ding ......

A bell rang in the distance.

Wang Cuo flew a little higher until he could see the large area clearly.

This is the land of the sea, and there is a port beyond the city, and the sound comes from there, and the king flies towards the port, and the bell is still ringing, but it is a little intermittent and haphazard, not like the sound of a person pulling it.

There were no moving figures along the way, and the streets and alleys were full of dead people...... It seems that he is still too late, and the war has expanded to another place.

He flew to the place where the bell rang, and it was a man who had been hoisted under the bell of the harbor...... It looked like he had been dead for a few days, and his tongue turned out was no longer bloody.

Ding Ding ...... As the wind blew, his body shook and made a noise.

The people of this city are probably dead.

With such a terrible smell of corpses, there is no way that anyone would want to live here.

Wang Cuo flew into the air again, and there was also a guardian orb on the tall mage tower in the center of the city. It's just that this orb was pierced through the middle by a spear, and it could be thrown up from such a high place.

The power of the barbarians is really not to be underestimated.

Landing on the Guardian Orb and looking at the 'Dead City' below.

Since the barbarians have already captured the city, why didn't they choose to occupy it step by step...... No, if it were them, they wouldn't think so. The king thought about it and denied his own thoughts, the barbarians in the wilderness were nomads, and defending the city was not their forte. Besides, the city is full of corpses, which can easily cause plague, and it is even more troublesome to stay.

Slaughtering cities, looting, seducing human troops, and then fighting human forces in the wilderness is the strength of this people.

So where will they go?

Looking beyond the city, to the east is the port, where the barbarians do not fight, and to the south is where they come...... To the west or to the north, Wang Cuo did not know the direction of the map of the country. I wanted to go to the library in the city, but the whole city was full of corpses and stench, so I gave up the idea.

Fly directly out of the city in the hope of finding a trace, this 'dead city' does not want to stay for a second longer.

Outside the city, the traces of the battle were even more obvious, and Wang Cuo could still feel the fluctuations left by the flow of magic. This is a habit that I once developed while living next to the academy.

It's as if the smell of molten metal wafts through the air, but the world doesn't do that, so that's the most obvious sign.

Originally, there would be a lot of people coming and going in the city, so there were footprints in both the north and the west, but there were still scattered materials and daily necessities on the ground, and the barbarian tribe would not bring any daily necessities, these should have been lost by the fleeing citizens, and the direction was to go west, and then fly forward for a distance. Wang found a lot of animal skins scattered on the earth and rocks, which can only be found in the wilderness. It's the clothes that the barbarians wear on their bodies.

To the west, they went to the west!
