Chapter 787, The Palace in the Valley
The sky was faintly bright, and the air was filled with blood.
Fang Hao and the four of them sat next to the carriage, and the elf young master 'Yujner' with more than a dozen personal guards, as well as the middle-aged caravan steward, also sat aside to rest.
A bonfire was lit in front of him, and several people tied their wounds to each other.
For the cold corpses that were already lying on the ground, these people were lucky.
At least people are still alive.
Of course, it is impossible for hundreds of people to die in battle, and some escaped in the melee.
They are all hired mercenaries, and it's good to have an advantage, but once they find themselves at a disadvantage, the team will be scattered like scattered sand.
Mercenaries only have a few dollars each, who will work hard for this money.
"How did you do it, in one team, so many have defected." Anjia asked suddenly.
As soon as this sentence came out, the atmosphere became much more gloomy.
In a team, so many people defected at the same time, and there was a big problem for the managers.
"Don't talk nonsense." Fang Hao touched her with his arm.
At this time, the young elf spoke: "My people have lost a lot before, and those were all recently transferred, and now that I think about it, the enemy must have arranged it a long time ago." ”
Of course, there is no use in analyzing these things after the fact.
The elf squeezed out another smile and said, "Anyway, thank you, I didn't expect a few of you to be so powerful." ”
"You're welcome, we have few people, so we can only help you." Fang Hao continued.
"By the way, are you going somewhere? If there is something you need help with, just ask. The elf said again.
The fact that several people have such a strong strength proves that it is impossible for them to be a mercenary guard.
Still has its own purpose.
Fang Hao thought for a while and said: "Actually, the first time we came here, according to the route, we were going to 'Russelland City', and I heard from the people in the tavern that it would be more convenient to follow the caravan, so we joined the Chenguang caravan and went together." ”
Rutherland is the closest city to the Ratchet Forest.
And the elves are also very accepting of this statement.
Because at the beginning, I suspected that there was something wrong with these four people, and I observed several people along the way.
These four people are not like mercenary guards at all, but more like they are here to play in the mountains and rivers, and the little girl with beast ears jumped out of the carriage yesterday to chase the beast.
I also saw her coming back with a wild boar and being roasted by several people.
Now that it has been explained by several people, it all makes sense.
I came out to play for a walk, because I didn't know the way, and I followed the caravan all the way.
The young elf said, "This matter is no problem at all, let's go to 'Russelan' together, and I will arrange these things then." ”
"Okay, thank you very much."
Now that it's like this, it's actually very difficult to continue the escort.
People die, those who flee flee, and the horses are gone, and so many goods cannot be pulled away by manpower.
Eventually, the elves discussed.
It was decided to leave some of them behind and go to a nearby castle to find someone to handle the goods.
The young elves, on the other hand, would follow Fang Hao and the others and go directly to 'Rutherland City'.
The first is that Fang Hao and the others are in a hurry, and the second point is that the young elf feels unsafe on the road and needs Fang Hao and a few people to protect him.
If Fang Hao and the others left, he would still be very dangerous on the road.
After discussing it, they hurried directly to 'Russelland'.
……
The port of Feileng is considered prosperous, but all the way to the southeast, there is less and less prosperity to see, and the elf villages along the road are not as lively as the port area.
After chatting with the young elves, I learned that there is no special industry to the east, and if you go all the way to the west, it will be more prosperous.
Finally, after three days, we finally arrived at 'Russelland'.
"Several, this is the certificate of the Chenguang Chamber of Commerce, as long as you take this, no one will be embarrassed for you when you enter and leave the city in the future." The young elf changed another voucher and handed it over to Fang Hao.
Fang Hao accepted it with a smile, "Okay, thank you." ”
"I should have said thank you, without you, I'm afraid I would have lost my life." The young elf continued.
They also use each other, but the ending is good.
"Well, then we'll leave first, and we'll see you again when we have a chance." Fang Hao said.
"If you need anything, you can go to the Chamber of Commerce to find me, my name is 'Yugenel'."
"Okay."
Saying goodbye to the elves, Fang Hao didn't look for a hotel.
Instead, he reconfirmed the map and drove directly to the 'Ratchet Forest'.
……
Rutheran, the Lord's Mansion.
"Someone, get out of here."
In front of the City Lord's Mansion, the silver-armored guards scolded in a low voice.
Yugenel looked up at him, took out a token from his arms, and said, "I am 'Yugenel', you can call me young master, or you can call me city lord." ”
The guard frowned, grabbed the silver hollow token in his hand, and examined it carefully.
To be honest, he didn't know much about this token.
But the hollow emblem on the token, as well as the confidence of the other party when he spoke, made him a little uncertain, "Wait a minute, I'll go find a report." ”
Eugenel did not answer.
The guards walked away quickly, and soon several elves walked out quickly.
One of the middle-aged men walked in front with the token in his hand, and the moment he saw 'Yujner', he immediately showed a happy look.
"Young Master......, God bless, you're finally back." The middle-aged man said enthusiastically.
Yugenel nodded, strode towards the city lord's mansion, and said casually: "It is not your gods who bless me, but a few outsiders. ”
Several people followed behind 'Yugenel' and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion together.
Jugenel went on to ask, "How did my father and brother die?" Is the investigation clear? I was assassinated when I returned, and it had nothing to do with my father's death. ”
Hearing this, everyone's faces changed.
The little master came back and was also assassinated?
Entering the hall, the middle-aged man dismissed the rest of the people before lowering his voice and saying, "This matter may be related to the newly discovered mine." ”
"Caves?"
"Yes, in the depths of the Ratchet Forest, a Mithril mine was discovered, and it was also after the discovery of the mine that accidents happened one after another."
Yugenel's face instantly turned ugly.
The Mithril Mine, which is a mountain of gold, is also a bomb.
Let Ruthelan's power, apparently, be the latter.
……
All the way to the east.
The carriage followed the map and reached the end of the road.
According to the location marked on the map, there is no road ahead.
It was a dense forest, and there was no way for the carriage to get in.
Released Lei Ling and checked the surroundings, it was deserted.
It gives the impression that the elves have not yet developed here, and they still belong to a primitive area.
After recomparing the map, the group headed deeper.
Dimitga was at the forefront, using his sword to crack a path through the thorns.
Fang Hao and the others followed, all the way through the dense forest, and went directly to the target point.
With the strength of the skin of several people, although the thorns are sharp, they can't hurt a few people at all, it's more like being lightly scratched by something.
Moving fast all the way.
I also met the beast and fierce beast that 'One-Eyed' said, but I only followed it from a distance for a while, and then they all turned and fled.
The beast's senses are more sensitive, and it should be that these people are not easy to mess with.
It went from morning to dusk.
In front of several people, a huge valley appeared.
There is no bottom in the valley.
A huge stone bridge, somewhat gray and white, connects the two ends of the valley.
At the other end of the stone bridge, there is a huge palace.
Fang Hao and the others all widened their eyes.
I looked at the palace in front of me in disbelief.
No one would have thought that in such a desolate place, there would be such a huge and majestic building.
Some are too unexpected.
"This is the building."
……
The group walked along the valley to one end of the stone bridge.
Before he could step on the stone bridge, the huge city opposite suddenly sounded a loud alarm bell.
The whole mountain forest was boiling with a bang, the beasts fled, and the birds flew up in pieces.
Under the gaze of several people, changes began to change in the ruined city.
Within the towering city walls, a group of tall giants in gray-brown armor walked out.
Holding a huge stone mallet, he walked out step by step.
"Damn, why is this thing here?" Fang Hao scolded.
This kind of enemy, they have seen before.
Divine Guard, tenth-order troops.
But then it was in the task of the system, how did it appear here.
Seeing that the enemies in gray-brown armor were gathering more and more, they had already begun to step onto the stone bridge.
Fang Hao didn't hesitate, and directly released the boundary gate, revealing the dense skeleton troops behind him.
"All out."
The skeletal warrior emerges from beneath the gate, and a skull dragon flies above his head.
With the sound of bones rubbing, they rushed outside.
Soon, the dense skeletons were already crowded into the dense forest, and at a glance, there was no end of undead soldiers.
Dongdong!
The drums of the undead are beating, and all classes are ready.
"Thunderbolt strike preparation."
Seeing that the enemy had already walked to the middle of the stone bridge, Fang Hao gave a loud order.
Hula!
The skeleton warriors in the front row, condensing thunder and lightning strikes at the same time, pointed forward from afar.
"Put!"
Whoosh!!
Silver-white thunder spears were fanned out towards the location of the stone bridge.
In the crackling sound, large swaths of the enemy were blasted to pieces, and many more people were squeezed off the stone bridge and fell under the bottomless bridge.
After the first batch of Divine Kingdom Guards fell, the second group did not flinch in the slightest and continued to move forward.
Fang Hao continued to order, "The skeleton warriors raise their shields and hold the bridgehead, and the skeleton shooters shoot freely." ”
The herald conveys the order.
Skeleton warriors, raising shields to form an iron wall at the bridgehead.
The skeleton shooters, on the other hand, came from the back of the line to the front, lined up on the edge of the cliff.
Began to shoot at the enemy above the stone bridge.
Bullets clanged at the enemy's top, shooting out a dense stream of sparks.
There are constantly enemies who lose their balance and fall under the bridge, and more people come out of the city and continue to join the battlefield.
Fang Hao felt that this kind of battle was more comfortable.
It's like fighting dragons, flying all over the sky, and you can't catch up with it, and you can't beat it, so it's very uncomfortable.
The skeleton shooter has a smooth output with orange bullets cross-firing.
It is difficult to get close to the enemy for a while.
Winter, Winter, Winter!!
Suddenly, the sound of the giant running sounded.
On the stone bridge, a huge rhinoceros wrapped in thick stone armor suddenly rushed out.
The size of the monitor lizard was close to that of the monitor lizard, and it overturned the Divine Kingdom guard on the bridge and rushed directly towards this side.
[Rock Armor Iron Rhino (Tenth Order)].
With a few thuds, he knocked away the skeleton warriors in the shield array.
Straight into the back of the queue, they began to rampage, knocking skulls flying.
At the same time, the clinking of swords and slashing stones followed.
The 'Mountain Creeper', shaped like a scorpion with a huge barb, also passed under the stone bridge and climbed up the cliff face.
He also pounced on the skeletal shooter standing on the edge of the cliff.
