One thousand three hundred and twenty people.

Rogge looked at it several times, and after being sure that he was absolutely not dazzled, he finally threw the report in his hand on the table weakly. He suddenly had a headache and frowned. Adjani, who was standing beside him, gently helped him rub his temples.

"Damn, how come these adventurers are as many as locusts! Four days ago we burned four to death, but four hundred more have come in the past few days!"

Adjani poked Rogge's face lightly with her fingernails, and said, "But they've been much more honest lately! ”

Rogge said tiredly, "Adjani, this is the real scary. Now the level of adventurers who come to Dresden is getting higher and higher, and if there is a small thing, there is a reason, and the silent volcano will burst out. We're sitting on the crater now!"

Adjani said: "But it's not a way to prevent them like this! Your Excellency is tired like this, let alone those people from the Legal Affairs Department." Greedy adventurers are not afraid of death, and they certainly will not leave the Duchy of Arley willingly. The sisters of the Dark Side of the Moon say that if they go out in fewer people now, there will be adventurers following them. My lord, the wise men of the elven race once said that when a monstrous flood comes, the best thing to do is not to build a causeway before the flood, but to guide it to the sea. Since we can't stop the adventurers from coming to the Duchy of Arley, let's retreat back to the Central Mountains. The life of the human kingdom is really not suitable for elves. ”

Something suddenly flashed in Rogge's mind, and he immediately jumped up, startling Adjani.

"Wait a minute, what did you just say? Don't stop the flood, but bring it into the sea...... Aha! I see!"

Rog hugged Adjani and kissed her hard, rubbing her breasts and buttocks vigorously with both hands. Before she could react, Rogge had already gone out in a whirlwind, leaving only Adjani, red-faced and disheveled, in the house, and she hadn't figured out what was going on!

Old Dresden has now been transformed into a huge transit point for adventurers. Groups of adventurers came here in pursuit of the elves, rested and scavenged, and then quietly left the ancient city and dived into the central mountains in the southeast. Although there are hundreds of elves in Dresden, the strength of the 'Dark Side of the Moon' is clear that no adventurer would be stupid enough to confront the army, let alone the elven guard of a bloodthirsty archmage.

No one knows how strong Rog's magic is, but the ease with which he can kill a warrior who is not weak with his most rudimentary magic missile is enough to make all adventurers fearful. What's more, he didn't need to chant a spell, and he didn't need to use any magic props, dozens of magic missiles fell like a torrential rain, how could people resist it?

The two highest-ranking magicians among the adventurers were also present that day, and when they saw this scene, their faces turned pale, and they only said: "He is not a human! This is the ability of the devil!"

Seventeen-year-old Martha has been in Dresden for almost a week. She follows her brother's adventurous party here, hoping that the elves will fulfill their dreams of fame and fortune. Martha was very proud of his brother, a level 10 swordsman, and deeply trusted the abilities of his companions. This seven-person adventurer has successfully completed many missions over the past year!

But now the atmosphere in the whole tavern was oppressive, and from time to time adventurers would whisper curses to the court magician disguised as the devil and his elven guards. They have become a nightmare for all adventurers!

The famous Fegg group among the adventurers is over, and Fegg, who survived by luck, and another warrior are on the verge of madness, soaking in the tavern every day and getting drunk. But no one will laugh at Feige, the light and light steps of the wind butterfly, the flying wheel saw, and the gentle killing have been deeply engraved in the heart of every adventurer. The adventurers knew that if they stood in Feige's place, they would not escape the fate of death. If it weren't for Rogge's aberration, which stunned Butterfly and Adjani, Feige wouldn't have had a chance to get drunk in the tavern.

Martha sighed, she and her companions had seen heavily armed elven guards on the streets of Dresden more than once.

These elves were not at all the kind, gentle, and beautiful elves she imagined. Their faces were indeed delicate and delicate, but they were expressionless. Even if there were only five elven guards on the road, Martha's brother didn't dare to come forward to challenge. Martha knew that it wasn't cowardice, and even she had to feel the murderous aura of these elves, let alone the others. People with such cold feelings and fierce murderous aura have always been the last opponents that adventurers want to provoke.

Later, Martha learned that the Elven Guard had a name, the Dark Side of the Moon. Hearing the name, her young heart suddenly throbbed.

This tavern is nothing more than ordinary in Dresden. But now there are so many adventurers that the price of even the most ordinary ale has tripled. With the Demon Mage and his elven guards present, the adventurer could not fight the elves at will, so he had to stay in the tavern with nothing to do. There were a few groans of pain in the dreary tavern, and Martha knew that the wounded were adventurers who had just returned from the Central Mountains.

Not long ago, the demon mage suddenly mobilized the Snow Bear Knight and the Elven Guards to block the two checkpoints leading to the central mountain range, and all adventurers were only allowed to go out of the mountain, not enter the mountain. The angry adventurers soon gathered more than five hundred people, and opposite them, were the three hundred male [***] troops and the dark side of the moon. Finally, someone lost their minds and began to attack the Elven Guards. Like a barrel of fire being ignited, all the adventurers were controlled by anger and greed, and they roared and rushed towards the elven guards, trying to defeat the dark side of the moon in one fell swoop. Elves with superb martial arts skills are sky-high!

This skirmish ended in a crushing defeat for the adventurers. While they were still on the charge, more than two hundred adventurers were shot. The power of a salvo of a hundred elite elven archers is definitely not comparable to that of human archers. The real fatal blow to the adventurer's faith is the elven arrow.

Those whistling arrows glowing with a blue light were so beautiful, yet deadly with murderous intent. Many of the arrows hit the adventurer's arm or thigh, and some even scratched a small wound. However, all the adventurers who were wounded by the arrow had difficulty breathing, their whole body was weak, and they slowly collapsed.

"Oh my God, these elves have poison on their arrows!" exclaimed one after another, and the morale of the adventurers who were still charging in the rain of arrows suddenly fell to a low point.

Who had ever heard that elves who had always believed in light would use poisoned arrows? And so violently poisonous! Rogge was once again confirmed to be the devil. If it weren't for the demons, how could they turn the kind and peaceful elves into such a terrifying war machine?

At this time, naturally no one will remember what methods adventurers have used to hunt down elves for thousands of years.

Once again, Wind Butterfly's huge wheel saw shook the adventurer's nerves. Her flying figure has become the spokesperson of death, and the giant wheel saw can easily cut through even the smallest weapons. This time she didn't wear a covered helmet. All the adventurers were instantly shocked when they saw the peerless face of the wind butterfly. In the moment of pause, the wheelsaw, which shone with a turquoise glow, kissed them tenderly on the throat.

Behind her, ten elven guardian warriors led two hundred snow bear knights in hand-to-hand combat with adventurers. The lines they formed held the adventurers in check, and the deadly arrows flew past the knights' bodies, knocking down the adventurers who were fighting with them.

The battle was short-lived. After paying more than 400 lives, only a little more than 100 adventurers fled back to Dresden. Luckily, the Demon Mage's men had no intention of pursuing, and it seemed that the order they had received was simply to block the passage to the Central Mountains.

This access road is blocked, and adventurers will have to walk nearly 100 kilometers more to infiltrate the Central Mountains. In the snowy north, adventurers have to bring a lot of supplies, and walking such a long way is undoubtedly much more risky.

But this battle made it clear to the adventurers that there was still a considerable gap between their strength and that of the regular army, especially the dark side of the moon. The adventurers who remained in Dresden now were not reconciled, they were still waiting for their chance, waiting for the elves to be left alone, although the chances were slim.

Seeing that many powerful adventurers were not lightly injured, Martha couldn't help but be glad that her brother's team didn't have time to catch up with that battle, otherwise, she really didn't dare to think if she would have a chance to come back alive.

While Martha was thinking wildly, a big man ran into the tavern in a hurry, and he shouted: "Hey! There is great news! That demonic magician has changed his surname! The hunter certificate that has been rumored these days is actually true! The time of issuance is very evil, and it is said that it is ......"

Another middle-aged swordsman jumped up, quickly covered his mouth, and looked around nervously. With all eyes on him in the tavern, he barely smiled, greeted the team members, and hurried out of the tavern.

At this moment, everyone was in no mood to drink, and they exchanged their heads and ears, and many adventurers checked out and left, so that they could go outside to inquire about the news.

"Brother, what is a hunter's certificate?" Martha asked curiously.

"I've heard that adventuring groups with hunter certificates will be allowed to enter the Central Mountains and resupply Rogue's territory. Two days ago I thought it was a rumor, but now I think it's true!" replied Martha's brother.

Martha suddenly felt a little uneasy, and said timidly: "Brother, you say, could this be a trap? Maybe there are some vicious demonic beasts waiting for us in the central mountain range! Brother, these elves are much more powerful than we thought, let's go back!"

The elder brother hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "What Martha said also makes sense. We'd better be careful. However, if there is a hunter certificate, one is better than nothing! I don't want to clash with the elves who are armed to the teeth! Now, let's go out and see if the hunter certificate is real. ”

It turns out that there really is a hunter certificate.

The certificates were issued at the Legal Affairs Department, and for the first time, twenty Hunter Certificates were issued, each of which allowed the holder to bring ten followers into the Central Mountains through the Elven Guard's blockade. The conditions for obtaining the certificate are surprisingly simple, only one hundred gold coins, first come, first served, and valid for two months.

Along with the certificate, there is also an exploration mission. It is said that the archmage of the court, Rogge, had in his hands a large and mutilated map of the Central Mountains. All adventurers who enter the Central Mountains with permission to enter the Central Mountains will be required to map the terrain they pass through, and if the map of which adventuring team fills the gaps on the map of Rog, they will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins, as well as the option to become an official member of the Order in the Duchy of Arlei.

One hundred gold is not a decimal, but most adventurer teams can afford it. Although there are many people who worry about whether there will be any traps behind this, more adventurers are more willing to take advantage of the opportunities in front of them. As a result, the twenty hunter certificates were snatched up, and the adventuring teams that did not get them regretted that they should not hesitate and miss the opportunity.

The day after the official issuance of the hunter certificate, several teams of anxious adventurers set off. The sooner you arrive in the Central Mountains, the sooner you have the chance to discover the secrets of the elves. As for how to transport the captured elves out of the Principality of Are, that is a matter that needs to be worried about later.

But two days later, even more shocking news came.

There are dragons in the central mountain range!

The news was brought back by an adventurous party called the 'Timber Silver Wolves'. They had been exploring the Central Mountains for a long time, and Rogge hadn't blocked them yet. They spent nearly a month in the Central Mountains and found nothing. Just when they were desperate and ready to return, the dragon appeared.

It was a gray afternoon, and a huge dragon flew over the sky of the 'Forest Silver Wolf'! Its huge body was more than ten meters long, and its wings spread out to cover the sky! The scope of its dragon power was surprisingly vast, and even the 'Forest Silver Wolf' felt the majesty that shook the heart!

The 'Silver Wolves' of the Forest go into hiding, but the dinosaurs discover their whereabouts. They won't be delusional about getting the honor of being a dragon slayer yet.

But the dragon flies strangely, slowly and shakingly. Suddenly, a backpack slipped off the dragon's back and landed not far from the 'Forest Silver Wolf'. The backpack cracked open, and it was full of gold, silverware, and jewelry!'Timber Silver Wolves' couldn't believe their good fortune when they encountered a dragon that was moving!

The dragon hovers over the forest, searching for its lost treasure. But it flew hard and clumsy, and after a few circles still did not find the place where the backpack had fallen, and finally reluctantly let out a few long whistles, and flew back into the depths of the central mountain range.

The wealth in the backpack was so great that the 'Timber Silver Wolf' was astonished! The jewels and gold and silver themselves were only about half of the value, and the exquisite craftsmanship and age of the jewels also added great value. God knows how many years the dragon has been collecting these treasures!

The 'Forest Silver Wolf', who had made a sudden windfall, hurriedly left the Central Mountains, but was stopped on the blockade line. To their surprise, they were not subjected to any harassment, only to be told that they would no longer be allowed to enter the Central Mountains without a hunter's certificate after exiting the blockade. And just like that, the 'Timberwolves' returned to Dresden with their harvest. They showed off some of their loot, including a quaint purple gold crown.

Hearing the news, the Grand Duke of Carlos immediately sent someone to buy the crown at a high price.

The suddenly wealthy 'Timberwolves' are determined to end their adventures and find a quiet place to live a prosperous life. In the envious or jealous gaze of countless adventurers, the eight 'Timber Silver Wolves' adventurers left Dresden. Now they have so much money that they have hired a hundred Snow Bear Knights to keep them safe until they leave the Duchy of Are.

With the appearance of the 'Forest Silver Wolf', another gossip began to circulate among adventurers. It is said that Rog and his elven guards had recently wreaked havoc on an ancient dragon, and now they had adventurers search the terrain of the Central Mountains in order to capture it.

Dragon.

No adventurer dares to provoke a dragon, but when the dragon carries a lot of treasure, there will be a small group of high-level adventurers who want to try their luck. If the moving dragon is still seriously injured, it is a moving mountain of gold!

Martha's brother was as excited as a child for the past two days! His luck was unbelievably good, and he actually got a hunter's certificate! A hunter's certificate could pass ten people, and their adventure party was only seven. So three high-level adventurers temporarily joined their adventure party at the cost of five hundred gold coins each.

Martha was also excited, the central mountain range was seducing her young heart. Dragons, adventures, fortunes, elves, heroes, these are enough to drive any girl crazy. Everything is ready, and tomorrow, Martha and her friends will set off!

It was late at night when they came out of the tavern. Everyone was a little drunk, even Martha drank several glasses of spirits.

While passing through a dark alley, Martha suddenly felt a pang of unease. Dozens of black-clad and masked men stood on the roofs and walls on both sides, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows flashing with cold light were aimed at them. Before they could react, arrows rained down!

Shouts of killing came from all sides, and I don't know how many people surrounded them. But Martha could tell that these people were also adventurers. She was confused and scared, but still calm. She raises her wand to rescue her friends with the most skillful fireball technique. However, the incantation had barely been chanted two syllables when it was interrupted by a short sword inserted into the back of her heart.

Before she fell, the last thing that caught Martha's eye was a hand, which held the hunter's certificate, which was still dripping blood, which was her brother's blood......

Rogge, dressed in a dressing gown, was sitting in his comfortable chaise longue and sipping red wine while gazing at Dresden at night through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. The ancient city is now unquiet every night, with shouts of killing, fire, or magic breaking the peace of the night.

There was another fire in the distance, and I don't know how many more adventurers would fall in this battle. Rogge thought triumphantly, as if he saw the adventurers fighting each other around the hunter certificates. According to the figures reported by the Legal Affairs Department, the number of adventurers has been decreasing almost every day since the issuance of hunter certificates. The adventuring teams that got the certificates were doing their best to rush to the blockade line so as not to be intercepted by other adventurers. More adventurous teams moved the battle for the hunter's certificate from Dresden to the blockade.

The dark side of the moon only certifies and does not recognize people, even if they kill people in front of them and take the certificate, they just pretend that they have not seen anything.

One kilometer outside of the blockade line is the default boundary of the Dark Side of the Moon, and entering this line means that you are protected by the Dark Side of the Moon and can successfully cross the blockade line. Countless fights and killings are taking place just outside this line. Even the Snow Bear Knight's face was a little unbearable, but the elves on the dark side of the moon faced it calmly.

Rogge looked at the night scene and couldn't help but calculate in his heart. "When the people who got the hunter certificates have passed the blockade, it's time to issue the second batch of certificates, well, the second batch will only be issued ten, and the adventurers who stay in Dresden can't be left idle! ”

He drank the wine in his glass and thought about how to get more adventurers involved: "Maybe the second batch of certificates should be issued in secret." Adventurers can't be told which team got the hunter certificate, so they can be suspicious of each other and fight each other. As long as the fight begins, hatred will keep the blood flowing. It's time to add the Two Hundred Moon Dark Killers to the blockade, and dispel all illusions that they will break through the blockade by force. Well, you have to put a little more bait, and you have to give them some sweetness. A moving wounded dragon isn't enough, well, a lot of people still don't dare to provoke dragons. A tomb of the undead full of wealth? That's a good idea, but I don't know if Fengyue will lend me any more men. The open-pit sand mine is also good, and there are adventurer relics. Aha, enough bait! should be able to take their eyes off the elves. If an adventurer wants to gain wealth and can't afford to provoke the dark side of the moon, the only way to snatch the hunter's certificate is to snatch it. Kill it, rob it! The more people who die, the better!"

Adjani had just come out of the bath, and she casually draped in a nightgown, and the overflowing spring light reflected her pretty face and slender ears, which looked extremely attractive.

She came up behind Rogge, kneading his shoulders with both hands, and chuckled, "What are you thinking about again?"

Rogge smiled and said, "You didn't come up with this idea for me?" hehe, since we can't stop the adventurers, let's give them a small opening." Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, and most people would be squeezed down. Those adventurers who crossed the bridge, will they still be able to escape from my palms when the time comes? haha!"

Rogge said as he ran his hand into Adjani's bathrobe, running it down her thigh. She whispered and begged for mercy: "My lord, didn't you just ...... Just ...... Leave me alone, I can't take it anymore! Do you want me to call the other sisters in?"

Rog kissed her the lips and smiled, "You have given me such a good idea, how can I not comfort you well!

Adjani's voice of protest kept coming: "My lord, how did I come up with this idea? I just relayed the ancient wisdom of the elves...... It's clearly you...... Ahh

Dresden suddenly turned into a nightmare city for adventurers. In order to compete for the hunter certificate, even during the day, adventurers will have fires from time to time. The second batch of ten Hunter Certificates was secretly released, and no one knew which adventurer team the ten certificates were issued to. As a result, the southeast of Dresden was closely monitored by uncertified adventurers, and any contingent of adventurers attempting to make their way to the blockade was subjected to ambushes, assassinations, and sieges.

Visionaries among the adventurers had already discovered that the situation was not right, and the fight between the adventurers began to get out of control. At first, they fought for certificates, but later there were more and more adventurers who made revenge, and the number of vendettas to avenge their siblings and friends gradually increased. There are several high-ranking adventurers who want to form a temporary union to coordinate the distribution of hunter certificates. But suddenly, two more teams of adventurers have returned from the Central Mountains.

They discovered an undead tomb that they were forced to cooperate with because the undead inside were too powerful, and they managed to break through the first layer of the tomb. At the entrance to the second floor, extremely powerful undead instantly claimed the lives of two people in the team. The two teams of adventurers fled in a hurry. But it is only the harvest of the first layer, and the preliminary estimate is also more than 50,000 gold coins. Enough for this group of adventurers to retire.

Huge wealth, new adventure locations instantly ignite the greedy lust of adventurers. No matter how powerful the undead are, they are much weaker than the ancient dragons. Few people want to touch the wealth of dragons, but plundering a treasure-rich tomb of the undead still has the confidence of many adventurers.

According to Rogge's plan, the adventurers would die first and then in the Central Mountains in order to compete for the certificate, but those who returned from the adventure would be hunted down by raiders who coveted their harvest on their way home.

Killings, as long as they begin, are passed down from generation to generation in a hateful manner.

"I'll make it easy for you. Rogge thought darkly.
