Surdak led the members of the vigilante Force, the indigenous warrior Andrew, the half-elf archer Samira, and the ogre Gulitham out of the village of Wall, and entered the barren land at night under the guidance of Carol, a militia member of the militia battalion.

Aphrodite stayed in the village of Wall as usual.

The barren land outside the Paglos Pass is a narrow strip of land, the southernmost foothills of Pagros Mountain are like antlers deep into the barren land, and the top of the antlers is Puss Mountain, which is the only active volcano in the barren land, the top of the mountain burns all year round with rolling flames, and the volcanic ash almost covers a radius of dozens of kilometers.

The closest way to the Pagros Mountains is the road to Puss Mountain.

However, this road is very difficult to walk, few adventuring groups choose to walk here, this road is basically covered by a thick layer of volcanic ash, horses walking on volcanic ash is like walking in a difficult desert, and the sky is also flying everywhere in the volcanic ash, people can not breathe smoothly, people who are not familiar with this place do not dare to walk this road at all, once the war horse is halfway by the rock crack and breaks the horse's leg, it will fall into death.

Therefore, many foreign adventure groups entering the adventure village through the barren land will choose to detour around the area covered by the volcanic ash of Pubao Mountain, which will also invisibly double the journey.

It is not difficult for the villagers in the barren land to cross the Pubao Mountain, and the four-wheeled carriage of the village of Wol almost opens a smooth road between the Pubao Mountain and the village of Wol. Surdak and his party only put a mask on the mouth and nose of the war horse, and then marched towards Pubao Mountain overnight.

As soon as you pass through Pus, the brown barren mountain range gradually turns green, and it is the northern edge of the barren lands.

Once you enter the Paglos Mountains, you leave the province of Pena.

The villagers on this side of the barren land rarely go to the mountains to make a living, and even if they have to store some mountain goods for the winter in autumn, the villagers who live here only dare to go into the woodlands at the outermost part of the mountains, and only some experienced hunters dare to enter the depths of the Paglos Mountains.

There are some rare high-level magical beasts living in that mountain range, and the materials on these magical beasts are extremely precious, so even if everyone knows that there is a lot of danger there, there are always some hunters and adventure groups entering Paglos Mountain every year, and there are definitely not a few hunters and adventure groups who die in Pagros Mountain every year.

It took Surdak and his party more than two days to reach the foot of Pusbag Mountain, which was already within the scope of his territory.

Passing by the Lava River Brimstone Mine, Surdak also went to the camp of the Brimstone Mine to inspect it, and because of the harvest festival, Luke, who was guarding the Brimstone Mine, led four hundred kobold slaves back to the village of Wall, and is still on vacation in the village of Wall, and the camp of the Brimstone Mine is empty.

By the time he was leaving, Luke had hidden the sulphur mines and grain that he could not take with him, and there was nothing left of the camp except for a few roofless houses made of stone chips.

Carol saw the boundary monuments around Pubao Mountain, and was puzzled by Surdak's choice of the territory of Pubao Mountain, but when he saw that there were sulfur mines hidden near the lava river here, he said with great regret: "When Pubao Mountain was still a borderless land in the past, why didn't anyone find out that there were sulfur mines here......

……

Surdak and his party continued their journey north from the Sulphur Mine in Pubao Mountain.

As they entered the southernmost foothills of the Paglos Mountains, more than a thousand knights from the Haylanza and Pena Guard Battalions and the Pena Intelligence Office arrived at the village of Wall.

A large number of knights marched into the barren land.

The knights split into several long, thin lines over the vast barren land, like sinuous centipedes crawling among the mountains.

There is nothing in the barren land, so the Quartermaster Department of Highlanza City is responsible for the logistics supply of the coalition army, from the most basic materials such as war horse forage, marching rations, weapons and armor tents, to magic scrolls, fire scale bullets, bed crossbows and other magic consumables and expensive ordnance must be prepared, and when this group of knights leaves the city, there is already a steady stream of material resources to be transported to the barren land.

Obviously, the anger of Archduke Newman made the people in the Pena City Guard Battalion and the Intelligence Office finally realize that if this matter was not handled well, they could be transferred to Handanar County in the Warsaw plane at any time to participate in the plane war against the demons, which was the last nightmare they wanted to see, and no one dared to take this matter lightly.

However, in this operation, the high-level of the two-city coalition actually dragged out two bed crossbows, which is a bit exaggerated.

You must know that what they are chasing is only a group of more than 20 magicians, and there is a high probability that the bulky bed crossbow will not be used to deal with magicians.

The alliance of the two cities dispatched nearly a thousand knights, and the main reason was that they were worried that the Gate of the Dark Moon also prepared a large number of cavalry in the rear.

The Darkmoon Gate Organization is best at creating temporary portals, as long as they are given enough time, regardless of the cost, they can empty a city in the shortest possible time, which is the most terrifying thing about the Darkmoon Gate Organization.

In addition to the more than 1,000 knights, the two cities also had a squadron of Bena constructed swordsmen on their way to the city of Highlandza.

Grand Knight Glenn originally planned to join the knights of the guard battalion in Highlanza City and then enter the Barren Land together, but he didn't expect the news of the Dark Moon Gate mage to come from the Barren Land so soon, so he had to make a decision and decided to leave behind the Constructed Swordsman Squadron and all the coalition forces entered the Barren Land.

……

That night, Aphrodite summoned Surdak back to the village of Wall.

Surdak's vigilante team had now entered the Pagros Mountains, and he traced the march routes of the Knights and the Mage Regiment on two parchment maps of the Badlands, and then asked Aphrodite to give the two parchment maps to Selena, who in turn handed them to the Chief of Bright, who in turn handed them over to Lance of the Sorcerers and Carl of the Knights of the Guard Battalion.

Although the Wizard Regiment set off half a day later than the Guards Battalion Knights, more than 20 elite magicians from the Hylantha Magic Guild Law Enforcement Team and the Bednar City Magic Guild arrived at Wall Village one step faster than the combined forces of the knights of the two cities, and got a map with clear markings from the head of Bright Village first.

The magicians rode the magic handles and climbed directly over Oak Ridge into the barren land, although the higher-ups ordered the mage group and the knights of the two cities to fight together, but the commanders of the two sides had no intention of joining forces.

The Wizards' Regiment is also led by a great magician sent by the Bednar Magician Guild, and his level is half a level higher than the commander of the Knights of the Two Cities Alliance, Grand Knight Glenn.

After Lance got the map, the mages followed the route left behind by Surdak and entered the Wastelands first.

By the time the knight alliance of the two cities arrived at Wall Village, the mage group had already flown away.

The Grand Knight of Glenn didn't delay much in Wall Village, but only rested for half a night.

The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, he set out again with more than a thousand knights.

Before leaving, Grand Knight Glenn tentatively designated the village of Wall as a supply staging point.

……

The southern slopes of the Paglos Mountains, near the Puss Mountains, are covered with bare rocks and are desolate as far as the eye can see.

But if you go a little further, you will see verdant mountains as far as the eye can see, and even the foot of the mountain is a lush meadow.

However, the villagers of the Barren Land would rather hide in the ravines of the Barren Land than dare to establish a village at the foot of Paglos Mountain, mainly because there are often demonic beasts here, and a random demonic beast in Pagros Mountain has the power to destroy small villages.

When he reached the edge of the Pagros Mountains, Carol became cautious, he was very familiar with his surroundings, and he led the vigilantes through the woodlands with ease, looking for the marks left in the woods as he went, and gradually entered the depths of the Pagros Mountains.

Other adventure groups were encountered along the way, and both sides remained vigilant.

Although some adventuring groups were willing to exchange information with each other, Surdak did not give those adventure maps any chance to get close, and they did not need the information of those adventure maps, so naturally they would not waste their time on them.

The further down Mount Paglos went, the more careful Carol became.

Surdak was a little puzzled, such a lush mountain range, rich in demonic beast resources, since the lords would go to develop other planes, why didn't anyone lead the Constructed Knights to occupy this mountain range?

Along the way, he did not encounter the difficult demonic beasts described by Carol, and the fierce demonic beasts such as the Earth Storm Bear, the Nightblade Leopard, the Jungle Saber-toothed Tiger, and the Great Demon Ape could not find any trace, which made Gulitham somewhat disappointed.

However, the security team was lucky to encounter the blue ice deer, but the blue ice deer were very alert, and when they saw Surdak's team from a distance, they quickly burrowed into the jungle.

It wasn't until dawn on the fourth day that Carol finally found his companion in charge of keeping an eye in Mount Paglos, who was covered in camouflage made of green branches, and hid at the top of a large umbrella-shaped tree almost thirty meters high, which would not have been found if Carol had not found the mark under the tree.

The hunter slid down from the tree, and Carol hurriedly asked, "What about them?" ”

The hunter pointed ahead, "In the mountains ahead, they have been here for two days, and every once in a while a magician will run out on a patrol on a handlebar, and the view of a tree here is good enough for me to hide here." ”

As he spoke, he led the group to the front.

"Why did they stop here for so long?" Carol asked curiously.

"Isn't there a mountain giant entrenched in a ruin in the mountain range ahead...... and they are organizing a hunt for that big man."

The young hunter grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

The war horse and the ogre Gullitham were left behind in a dense woodland, and the target of Gullitham was too big, and it was easy for the opposing mages to patrol the other side to find out, so they stayed behind.

Surdak, Andrew, and Samira also learned from Carol and surrounded himself with some branches and leaves, and carefully climbed the ridge in front of him, hiding behind a crevice in the cliff, from which the valley in front of him could be seen.

At the bottom of the circular valley in front of you lies the remains of ruins, hidden in the midst of the dense green forest.

Now, that woodland is full of fallen trees.

On the battlefield, a mountain giant more than 20 meters tall grabbed a log more than 20 meters long in each hand, constantly trampling on the boulders between the ruins, panting and chasing the magicians who were riding magic handles.

More than two dozen magicians rode around the ruins on magic poles, and from time to time threw fire bombs and lightning bolts at the mountain giant......
