Chapter 24: The Night Attack I
Dark clouds obscured the sun again, and the forest seemed lonely and deserted. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A small group of 5 people marched cautiously.
The ground has thick fallen leaves, and it is comfortable to step on, but none of the 5 people dares to take it lightly, because no one knows if there is anything hidden underneath.
Maybe a small poisonous snake can kill you.
At this time, there was a faint sound of running water in front of me.
Seta's heart moved, and the young priest rejoiced:
"Lord Fanaan, there is a sound of water in front of you, it should be that the big river has arrived, and our mission is accomplished!"
He is now close to level 3 priest, as long as he has a safe environment, he can soon become a level 3 priest, and has the opportunity to preside over the temple, so he is not willing to take any more risks.
The task is almost complete, so naturally I am happy.
This is normal, and the only person who has been truly fearless has always been those who have nothing, and there is no loss if there is nothing, and there is nothing to fear if there is no loss.
Now that a bright future awaits him, Pastor Pooh is naturally concerned about his own life.
In fact, not only the pastor, but everyone else was also relieved.
Walking in this gloomy forest, surrounded by tall and dry trees, everyone felt very depressed, and it was time to go out, and the pace slowly accelerated.
The water is not very wide, but it is clear and you can see a few fish swimming. From here, you can already see the castle rising high on the other side of the river, and only half of the city walls remain.
Led people to find a flat and spacious place along the riverbank, slightly blocking the view on the other side of the river:
"Prepare, we'll be here tonight" and then the assignment:
"Knight Jomer, you go hunt a few prey and come back, your roast rabbit is loved by everyone"
"Knights of Handa, Khurid Knights, it's up to you to build the camp"
"There's a lot of timber here, and we need a solid wall to guard against possible attacks by demons," he said and looked at the young priest, who was looking at himself positively, and smiled slightly:
"Pastor Pooh, you're in charge of picking up some wood, you'll need to cook later."
"Alright, let's all get moving, and get this done before it gets dark!"
"I'm going to look around and see if there's any more demons lurking."
"Okay, Lord Fanaan"
"No problem, Fanaan-sama"
"Stay safe, sir"
Simply assign their respective jobs, and several people moved quickly, with last night's experience, today's speed is much faster, and they have begun to have a tacit understanding.
There was a birdsong in the forest behind him, which seemed peaceful and quiet.
Seta walked back to the place where he had just come out of the forest, where he had the best vantage point, and could clearly see some of the arrangements on the opposite side, and wanted to observe the other side of the river.
He is only 10 little devils away from upgrading to level 7 warriors, and he originally planned to kill more in the forest, but I don't know why he didn't encounter a single demon in the forest today.
If it weren't for the silence of the forest reminding him, he would have had the illusion of peace!
"It should be that the demon nobles have discovered something, so they began to shrink their strength?" The corners of his mouth curled slightly:
"Is there or is there a conspiracy?"
Squatting in the grass, he carefully looked at the other side.
I can see that there are a lot of demons coming in and out, as if they are carrying something, it seems that demons are not pure beasts, and they can also write about the division of labor, Seta thought lightly.
This is very important, because it shows that demons have social attributes, even civilizations, and are not just a collection of powerful oppression.
With civilization, what is the world of demons like? Why did they invade the human world?
Invade the human world, what do they want to gain?
These are all things that need to be carefully considered, and only by thinking clearly about these can we plan and act in a targeted manner.
He is different from most people in this world, it is what he saw and heard in his previous life that made him learn to think about problems from the level of society.
Many times, one thing is true on a small scale, but it is very strange when it is zoomed in on society as a whole.
For example, the current Demon Tribulation, it is very normal on a small scale, isn't the Demon Invasion the standard configuration of the Western Fantasy World? But it is strange when you put it in the whole world system. Like what:
What can demons gain by penetrating it?
The land? no! because they can't hold it!
This world has gods, and they will not allow demons to take over this world. And the combat power of humans is not necessarily weaker than that of demons.
Anyway, according to the memories of the previous owner of this body, the Demon Tribulation would erupt every once in a while, but I had never heard of the death of a great nobleman like the King because of the Demon Tribulation.
So is it because the demons want to plunder humanity?
Hehe, what are the human beings going to do when they take it back? It can only be eaten as rations! No ruler will start a huge war to grab a sheep!
Giving is far greater than receiving!
The last possible possibility is that the demons are here to plunder the souls of men, as the priests preach.
This may exist, but Seta doesn't know anything about the occult, so he can't tell the truth from the fake.
After going back this time, you must find a chance to gain knowledge of this world, and now you belong to the ruling class, which must not be too difficult!
We'll talk about that later.
Looking at the swaying firelight on the other side, the most important thing now is to kill a few demons and obtain the origin needed for upgrading, and have enough strength to be able to advance and retreat.
This is a world of power after all!
It's useless to think too far at this time, people are living in the moment after all!
hunched over to the edge of the river, and stripped off his clothes and trousers on top of his head;
I tried the water temperature, but fortunately the temperature was not very cold. Quietly went into the water.
He was going to swim to the other side, quickly slash a small group of demons, and return immediately after obtaining enough origin.
The temperature of the river is actually divided into several layers, the closer you get to the surface, the warmer it gets, and the further down it goes, the colder it naturally becomes.
When I tested the water temperature just now, I only touched the temperature near the surface of the water superficially, but I didn't think that it would be so cold after I really got into the water, but it was naturally impossible to go back at this time.
With one hand holding the clothes and weapons above his head, and the other hand paddling in the water, the body of a level 6 warrior is also strong, and he will not cramp from the cold water.
And so a quarter of an hour passed:
"Wow~!"
"Whew!" he pushed himself up to the riverbank, looked left and right and found a big rock, hid behind and put on his clothes, and put on his leather armor again.
"Boom!" poured the water out of the scabbard and thrust the sword back in.
Fortunately, this time it was leather armor, otherwise I would not be able to cross the river wearing a full-body armor.
Hiding behind the rocks, poked his head out and glanced at it:
The castle was still a little far away, and I could vaguely see that there were many demons standing on it, and the outside of the castle was a mud wall with stones on the surface, which should have been beautiful, but now only the remnants of the wall could be seen.
There were no demons on the walls, but fires were lit outside the walls, and each fire surrounded more than a dozen little demons:
"A fire is a demon squad?"
Thinking like this, he took a closer look, and found no trace of the big demon, and his brows furrowed slightly:
"Where did the Great Demon go?" he didn't want the last thing to happen again, and a demon suddenly appeared in the middle of his killing!
"Huh!" suddenly thought to him:
"Could it be that all the big demons are in the castle?"
There is this possibility, the big demon is an elite class evolved by the small devil, and it is very likely that it will be arranged in the castle by the demon nobles.
