Chapter 701: The Lonely Hanging Burial Village
It's the middle of November.
As in the past, the college began to arrange and teleport the juniors and seniors into the new world. After that, it is the sophomores or even the freshman repeaters who are weaker in the overall strength, and they will be arranged to defend the relatively safe hinterland of the Radiant Campus.
Hu Siming's Blood Sail Camp, which they defended last year, is relatively safe place.
But this year, after becoming a junior, the task given by the college has become significantly heavier.
Hu Siming's entire team became the first batch of students to be arranged into the new world. Not only that, Hu Siming, who learned about the defensive task early, was taken aback. For the first time, the point he needed to defend was out of the main sphere of influence of the Radiant Campus, but a desolate and treacherous bleak place!
This is a newly occupied wasteland that the Academy has taken from the Bronze Dragon Tribe since last year, and has used a lot of resources to build a large camp in the area that has been called the Burial Shadow Village by the natives.
Due to the lack of resources in the Bleak Lands and the large and ferocious number of demonic beasts, the Bronze Dragon Tribe does not have much power here. After being snatched by the academy, it seems that the table xiàn also looks indifferent. However, the fact that this place is useless in the eyes of the Bronze Dragon Tribe does not mean that it is also worthless in the Academy. Since the east side of the camp is the ancient Kodo Beast Graveyard, it is home to many powerful undead and is rich in equipment such as the Urn of Shadows, the Wraith Scepter, and the Necronomicon Crafting Scroll.
That's why the academy has established a camp of this size in Funeral Village.
Having said that, the camp in Funeral Village is good, and it has been convenient for many hero trainees for more than a year, but its geographical location is really a bit bad.
First of all, it is located in the center of the Bleak Lands, except for the west side of the sea, the other three directions of the south, north, and east are facing strong pressure from the Demon Beast. The Kodo Graveyard on the east side is only the most representative hunting spot, with the Ghost Outpost to the north of the camp and the Porgan Caves to the south. Moreover, even in the west, it is not completely safe. Near the coastline, there are also amphibious monsters and fish-man tribes, which are equally likely to threaten the camp.
In other words, it is a place of strife on all sides.
Secondly, the Bleak Land and the Burial Village camp are far away from the academy's system, and they are both six hundred kilometers away from the nearest town, so it can be said that they are outside the power system of the academy. Once the battle began, the beast tide swept in from all directions, converging under the camp of Shadow Village, but the defending cadets received no support.
Once something happens, it is likely that the entire camp will be destroyed, and the students who are defending inside will not be able to escape!
In such a dead place, ordinary students are naturally reluctant to come. Moreover, those who are qualified to defend here are almost the lowest elite LV10 graduate school classes, and I don't know how many pseudo-heroes and hero-level seniors there are. Such strength is already the backbone of the academy, and the senior management of the academy is not willing to sacrifice at will. Therefore, before receiving the task and setting off, they all had received a commitment from the academy. If you can't do anything and can't hold it, you can evacuate by goblin airship in the camp.
Of course, in order to prevent people's hearts from fluctuating, the college has also made two preparations.
On the one hand, Eli temptation.
If the trainees who participate in the battle are able to hold the camp in Shadow Village, then all of them will receive the Eternal Book reward of +Life. In addition, if you are a student of the postgraduate entrance examination class, you can choose the postgraduate examination battlefield independently. If you have become a pseudo-hero or hero, you can get more advanced rewards, such as specific equipment and even a book of energy and skills.
The Book of Energy here is not the kind of low-level goods dropped by the Gold Devouring Beast Lord, and it can only be used by elite students. It's a high-end product produced by the academy that can raise the level of hero trainees by one level!
Not to mention the Book of Skills, directly deduce the skills to a level!
If a skill has been added to LV3, it can be used to max out directly, saving a lot of skill experience.
Such benefits are enough to make heroes and strong people take risks for it. On the other hand, the academy also issued punishments that were not severe, but they were heart-wrenching enough. Once evacuated, all gains made during Dire Darktide were confiscated by the Academy.
There are two such things, which are enough for the students who defended the Funeral Shadow Village to use 120% of their strength and hold on until the last moment.
Hu Siming and his fourth year in the school, they already have a good understanding of the college's calculations. But I have to say that this trick played by the academy is very useful. Even if they knew that it was very dangerous here, and having a goblin airship was not necessarily safe, but the five of them still arrived at the Funeral Shadow Village without hesitation after receiving the task.
They were joined by at least 200 students.
More than fifty black-armored elites, plus thousands of elite treant soldier puppets, are already busy in this large camp in the wasteland. And the two hundred people who came with Hu Siming and them, except for a few elite students in the junior year, the others were all pseudo-heroes and heroes!
In two to three days, more than 300 elite cadets from the graduate school will join the defense.
More than 180 heroes in the class, plus more than 300 elite LV10, there is no shortage of students who have mentioned the postgraduate entrance examination but failed!
Such a force would be more than enough to defend any other camp, and even a city that is not so dangerous. But in the Shadow Village camp, it is not enough to ensure the safety of the camp. Even if it has towering walls, thousands of elite treant warriors, over 100 defense towers, and at least three floating island outposts!
Because, here are enemies on all sides!
After personally visiting the terrain here and learning more about the situation that this camp was about to encounter, even the heroic students from the Zodiac Society showed a depressed look on their faces, obviously not optimistic about this night-tre dark tide, which is claimed to be the strongest in this cycle. If it weren't for the goblin airship hovering on the floating island in the center of the camp to comfort them, I'm afraid that there would be heroes who would have to find a way out and consider how to resist passively.
"That's the general situation of the camp, while the Dire Darktide is still five days away, the sophomores have not yet arrived, I hope you can make more efforts to clear the camp of the demonic beasts around the camp as much as possible, so as to reduce the pressure on the Dire Darktide......"
The one with a stern face is Chongfei, a heroic senior who is a member of the student union.
The black-armored elites with limited strength are no longer capable of commanding battles of this level, so the entire planning and command is completely taken over by the student union. Hu Siming was not familiar with this master with the bloodline of a phantom spearman, and only knew a little about hearsay. When you have the opportunity on weekdays, you may not have the idea of making friends. But now that the pressure of Dire Darktide was ahead, he didn't have that much thought, and patiently waited for Chongfei to release more specific tasks.
Soon, the school emblem imprint gave a notice.
Five days later, during the Dire Tide, Hu Siming and the others were placed north of the Shadow Village, where they needed to face a monster attack from the Ghost Outpost area. In between, they will also be responsible for clearing out the monsters of the Ghost Outpost - the periphery can be reserved for the sophomores who arrive later, and Hu Siming's team is mainly responsible for the high-level monsters in the depths of the Ghost Outpost, especially those with a level of LV30 or above.
"It's not a Kodo Beast Graveyard......"
Before leaving, Hu Siming's collection of information was more biased towards the area on the east side of the camp, after all, it was the most famous. However, since the command has already been arranged, it seems that there is no need to make another trip because of this matter. There are also a lot of undead monsters in the Ghost Outpost area, and they are safer than the old Kodo Beast Graveyard.
Hu Siming's team, but there is still an elite!
Without the damage reduction of Hero Armor, it would be dangerous for Yu Gaowu to rashly enter the Kodo Beast Graveyard. If he really encountered a group of monsters, Hu Siming's team at this stage might not be able to protect him - even if Yu Gaowu already had a superb treasure on his body. In comparison, the Ghost Sentry is much better.
With this in mind, the five of them followed the other dozen or so squads and entered the ghost outpost separately.
The success of the trip is directly related to the pressure on their defensive line after five days, and the reward for the completion of the Dire Darktide. Because of this, each team that set off seemed to be full of motivation. The distance of sixty kilometers between the camp of Shadow Village and the ghost outpost took these heroic teams only half an hour to arrive, and the speed was simply amazing.
Judging from the large map in the hands of the students, which only lit up a small area, the entire ghost outpost, and even the entire bleak place, seemed insignificant on the map. But after actually arriving at this dark, dead hill, Hu Siming and his teammates realized that this is a low mountain range that runs east-west and stretches for hundreds of kilometers, which is said to have been a battlefield in the era of the Arcane Empire.
This glorious ancient civilization before the rise of the Five Guardian Dragon Tribes was too far away for the students. Specific history, few people will pay attention to. Hu Siming only sighed for a moment, and then stepped on the soft gray soil with his teammates and entered this ominous area.
It's still a fast ride.
The monsters on the periphery of the ghost outpost are not too high in strength level, and there are even those whose level is less than LV20. With Hu Siming's current status, they can't compete for resources with elite-level students, and to be honest, the efficiency is also very low. The deterrent effect of the title of hero is that most of the undead monsters encountered on the road do not dare to take the initiative to attack, allowing them to go deeper than 300 meters above sea level.
This is already a relatively high part of the hill, and it is also dozens of miles away from the entrance of the ghost sentry. Although you can still see the undead with a rating of LV25, more high-level undead are starting to appear. Attracted by Gao Wu's elite, or rather a delicious prey, there have been many undead who have launched frequent attacks.
This made Hu Siming realize that the area suitable for them to hunt and clear had arrived.
