Chapter 31: The City of the Dead (2) Preparing to Go

By the time I, Anne, and Emma arrived at Chief Caro's tent, Neil, Link, and Alan were already waiting for us inside, while Chief Caro and Deputy Head Dolly were standing at their desks whispering something to a map spread out on it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Chris, you're here. "Captain Caro, who noticed us entering, stopped talking to Deputy Head Dolly and looked up at me.

"Well, Commander, I heard that you have news of your eldest brother?" I asked eagerly.

"Yes, Chris, after such a long search by our intelligence network, we finally found a clue about Roy, but I can't confirm whether it's true or not, because the area he is in is very dangerous, and only he with the title of S-class warrior dares to go there.

"Where is the eldest brother?" I blurted out, I don't care if it's dangerous or not, we've all encountered the giant slimes in the Wind Dragon Stone Cave, the forest spiders in the Black Forest, and even the lower-level dragon Desert Tyrant in the desert was beaten away by me, and we are used to the word "danger".

"City of the Dead, I really don't know why he went there," Captain Carlo looked at me and said seriously, "Someone witnessed a tall Tiger Clan warrior heading towards the entrance of the City of the Dead, and he was carrying a large knife more than one person tall behind him, it should be him." ”

"Ah~~" Alan gasped after hearing this, with a frightened look, it seemed that he was more scared than seeing the desert tyrant, and we looked at each other, for those of us who have just been here for less than a month, "City of the Dead" is still an unfamiliar name, but it is probably not a beautiful paradise to hear this name.

"It used to be the remains of an ancient city, and it's here," Captain Carlo looked down and pointed at the map with his hand. We lowered our heads at the same time, and the location he pointed to was at the midpoint of the straight-line distance between the western oasis and the northern oasis, "Since a strong necromancer came there decades ago, now the whole city has been overrun by undead monsters, and many people have gone there and never come back, becoming one of them, that is, zombies. ”

"Zombies?" we looked at each other again, "it's the kind of moving... Corpse... Monsters that eat people?" I stammered, my impressions of zombies were the same I had seen in books before, and I had only a vague idea of them.

"But they're just one of the undead in the City of the Dead, just low-level undead creatures, and there are all sorts of undead monsters like skeleton warriors, ghosts, and vampire bats, and it's a city with no living people throughout, no, maybe except for the necromancer. Head Carlo explained.

"Team, captain... Are we really going there?" asked Elan, with his teeth shivering and shivering.

"I'm going!" I replied to him categorically, "I'm going there, as long as I have a clue from my eldest brother, I'm going there, I'm going to find him and ask him clearly, and at the same time I will beat him again, we have suffered so much, it doesn't matter if we add this city of the dead!" Then, I touched Allen's head and whispered to him: "Allen, it doesn't matter if you don't go, you are still young, it seems that it is indeed dangerous there, it is better to live well in the mercenary group!" I looked up at my companions around me, they all nodded at me, I smiled heartily, Neil also smiled, and said, "How can we let you go alone, Roy is also my eldest brother, and I will definitely go with you in front of me." ”

Link said beside him, "It's just a good place for me to try out the new moves that I have practiced, the undead or something is my target, and it's not enough to see at all." ”

"Yes, it's lifeless there, let's give them a little life!" said Emma, who was so lacking in her mind that she didn't feel the danger at all.

Seeing that everyone was so motivated, Anne also nodded to me next to her, and said with a smile: "Everyone works together, and we will definitely find Brother Roy back safely!"

"Hmph, I knew you would say that, it's true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, but I'm going to ring the alarm bell for you, it's really dangerous there, you must always pay attention to safety, I've heard about Chris running away from the desert tyrant before, but unfortunately I've been very busy at that time, and I didn't have a chance to talk to you," Captain Caro turned his head to me and said, "Chris, your potential is very strong, but you haven't mastered the method to make the most of it, if you can do this, I'm sure you can also go to the city of the dead alone like Roy." However, given that your current state is so unstable, I am a little uneasy, so, Bud~~ you come in!" Captain Caro shouted into the exit of the tent.

"Hey, Commander~ Hello everyone, haha~" We looked back and saw the monkey spearman Bard with his hands behind his head leisurely coming in from the entrance of the tent and greeting us.

"The first and second teams of the elite have gone to the border to carry out missions, and the third team has a long-term mission with the Oasis Sheriff, and the strength of the rest of the team is too weak to help you, so I want to send the instructor who stayed in the camp, A-class soldier Bard, to help you, he has a lot of experience in actual combat, and he can make you suffer fewer casualties at that time. ”

"Thank you so much!" I said gratefully.

"Haha, you are Roy's younger brother, I have a good relationship with Roy, I can help you. The law of the desert I talked about earlier and Dolly's asking you to stay and work in our mercenary group is also to learn to be self-reliant and improve your strength, so that you can move forward bravely in the harsh environment. Captain Carlo said boldly.

"Hey~ I'm not a friendship to fight, I'll say something unpleasant, I'm not your personal nanny, I don't think you've seen the power of the undead, if the situation is really irreparable, then I'll find a way to get out of it, and say goodbye to you, it's also very dangerous for us A-class fighters. Bard said nonchalantly, as if he didn't care about our lives or deaths.

"You just have a bad mouth, you know, you just do your best, don't be too lazy. Captain Carlo waved his hand at him impatiently, "Stop being so crow-mouthed!"

"Then the 1,000 gold coins I lost in my bet with you will be cleared!" Bard turned to Deputy Head Dolly and said.

"Look at your performance, if I know that you are lazy and don't make a effort, I want you to pay me back the 1,000 gold coins immediately. Deputy Head Dolly said expressionlessly.

"Haha, young man~ then it's such a pleasant decision, let's leave tomorrow morning after preparing well for the night!" Bard winked at me.

"Bonnie doesn't dare to go there, otherwise I will send her too, and only this bold Bud dares to take this risk, Andre is the deputy head in charge of training and can't leave here, and this camp also needs a few masters to stay behind just in case, in short, I wish you all the best!" said Captain Caro patted me on the shoulder.

"Well, thank you very much, Captain!" I thanked Captain Carlo again, and walked with the others to the tent exit.

"Wait a minute, Captain, I've decided, I'm going too!" said Alan, who was walking last, suddenly and loudly.

Several of us looked back at him in surprise, "Captain, I've thought about it, I'm also a member of the eighth squad, I don't want to be separated from everyone, I used to live alone for myself, and now I also want to contribute to everyone, my mechanical skills will definitely help, let me go!"

I looked at everyone, and everyone nodded, and Bud made a grimace and said, "The little ghost has grown up, haha!"

"Alright!" I walked up to Alan and crouched down, touched his head and said, "You are in the rear to support us, hide behind me when there is danger, and I will still protect you like last time." ”

"Hmm~" Alan nodded solemnly at me.

In this way, our team of seven returned to the tent of the eighth team to discuss various details, discussing the specific route to the city of the dead, how much dry food and water need to be prepared, how to deal with the undead monsters, etc., in short, everything is unknown, only do your best!

Big brother, why are you there? Wherever you go, we're sure to find you!
