Chapter 450: All-Out Attack
The group returned to Boulder Harbor and dragged their ship ashore, apparently they were going to stay here for a long time.
The Sound of Dawn couldn't have been thrown all the way to the port, and it was a little aggrieved that it took its place.
Dragged them ashore, found a nice secluded warehouse, and stored the Sound of Dawn in it, which by the way served as their temporary home in the Boulder Fortress.
Subsequently, the entire rented warehouse was briefly renovated, such as silently tearing down the ceiling.
Replaced with a movable ceiling.
You must know that the sound of dawn is not a ship now, but also a living tree.
Basking in the sun and rain on rainy days or on good weather will make the sound of dawn happy.
After coming back, I had a meal first, and after a day of rest.
Arka: Once again, they gathered in the captain's room.
Looking at the crowd, Arka said, "This time our mission is to find these three related information. ”
With a wave of his hand, a mirror appeared on the table, and some information began to appear on it.
Alka also spoke based on this information.
"[Cursed Sword] A sword-bladed treasure used by the military aristocracy of the Saranan Empire, and also the name of a general.
By the way, the current descendants of their family are the Demon Hunter Fortress and the Demon Hunter's head, the Demon Hunter Judge - Grayfal.
Try to get as much information as you can about this, and it's best to find the person who last held the sword.
The Lighthouse is a landmark building of the former Salalan Empire, symbolizing the future of the empire and the path of eternal hope. The building should not have been destroyed, but hidden.
But we haven't seen any information about the building, which is the focus of information gathering, and certainly not in a hurry.
I had the impression that the name "Lunatic Order" was a pagan order that disappeared 300 years ago, but it didn't seem to have done anything bad. By the way, you can also look up information about this name.
The Order may not be able to gather much information, so ask some of the island's inhabitants if there is a similar information process or legend. ”
These three names represent a red crown-level artifact and two orange scepter-level artifacts, respectively.
It's all they need now, and it's useful to get their hands on it whether it's appropriate or not. Because it is very suitable whether it is exchanged later or used for trading.
Hearing Arka's words, several people nodded.
You don't have to look for information on a ship, you can find it in the taverns and libraries of Boulder Harbor, and even the places where the church gathers.
For example, Simon can rely on his identity to go to the Holy Machine Church to find information, or even directly find people who may only know about it.
After saying that, Arka seemed to think of something again, and added: "By the way, you can also learn more about all kinds of information about the Salaram Empire, and it is always right to know more."
Remember to compile the information that you think is important into a variety of key words, and I will need to look at it when the time comes. ”
This is the method that Arka came up with, and many times the most basic information is extended from a variety of nouns.
Arka didn't even need what these nouns meant, he just needed to know them to potentially expand on very important information.
This basic artifact information is simply to introduce Arka to the possibilities of these treasures and related information.
It is unknown how much help will be given to the treasure finding, but it does not give Arka a general direction.
This is how all the treasure information comes from, the information that expands from one word or a few words.
And memorizing only these words is the point that Arka is most likely to learn about all the treasures.
After all, he couldn't have memorized all the information in his head.
After listening to Arka's words, everyone had a certain goal.
Now all that's left is action.
"So let's stay here for the next month or two, and after gathering more information, we'll think about what to do next."
Everyone stood up and prepared to act, Arka patted Xia Daiti's shoulder next to him and said, "Xia Daiti, you go collect some more maps, there will definitely be some more detailed maps of that kind of island." ”
Xia Dai nodded: "There will definitely be these maps, after all, there are often wars here."
However, it is likely that a lot of abandoned maps will also be collected. ”
This kind of map can also be used, but Shadetti knows that Arka has high requirements for the accuracy of the map.
Maps can be rough, but they must be accurate.
"Well, by the way, I can let the Vasteva people prepare to come out and touch this place a little more, this is not a bad place."
After all, there are a lot of fish and dragons here, and basically all kinds of human subspecies can be seen here. In comparison, the appearance of the Vastwa people is really a bit inconspicuous here.
Of course, I'm talking about the Vastwa people, who are now slightly degraded, and if they were the kind before, they would be a little conspicuous.
However, it may be difficult for the Vastwa people to look like now, and they can go back to what they used to be, after all, they used to be the result of the gifts of the gods and the blessing of treasures.
There are no more gods now.
Moreover, this is a relatively dangerous area, with a strong foreign enemy. The appearance of each other does not affect the cooperation between them at all. As a result, although there are many differences in appearance, they are quite peaceful with each other.
If you don't unite, you will be crushed to pieces by these demons.
This is the perfect atmosphere for the people of Vastwa to integrate.
Coupled with the fact that people from all over the world gather here, the people of Vastwa can learn more about the whole world.
They'll be here for a long time, too.
Arka was even thinking about whether to create a gathering place for the Vasteva here, because it was very nice.
Except, of course, the danger.
This is only a temporary experiment, and it is not necessarily necessary to decide immediately.
Through the Enlightenment, the Vastwa people have begun to appear one after another.
It's time to come out and meditate, with the help of the Gathering Magic Stone, it won't be a few years. The Vastwa people will have a group of strong people who have reached the third stage or so of the Dao level.
Of course, he is not a strong man in this place, but he already has the most basic foundation to be able to gain a foothold in the Infinite Sea.
As they come out and learn more about the place, they can also choose for themselves where to make their home.
After all, this is their race's own problem, and Arka they can help at most, rather than directly meddle in the decision.
After some thought and decision, Arka walked towards the church with Lucilia on her shoulder.
Just like Simon, they will go to the relevant Holy Machine Church to find information.
It was so important that in every port you could see the temporary dwellings of the churches.
Even the god of the sea is by the sea, with a simple gathering place. It can be barely called a church.
"Isn't it a little busier than before?" Arka asked, looking at some of the situation around her.
Lucilia observed the same, and then nodded.
"It seems like that, and there are more soldiers, right? When we came back before, we happened to meet a large number of soldiers outside, and they were training new recruits. ”
Not quite knowing what the situation was, Arka came to the church fortress of the Church of Our Lady.
One of the two guards standing guard at the gate was the first time Arka had seen him.
He obviously remembered that when he saw Alka, he nodded politely and did not make any way to stop him.
Arka walked into the church.
At this time, in the church, Puvis, who had a previous relationship, was praying under the statue of the Virgin.
There were also people in the seats around them bowing their heads and praying, soldiers, civilians and even some labor mercenaries. There are all kinds of people.
Alka could clearly feel that they were all believers in the Virgin.
I sat down at the tail and closed my eyes.
Perhaps because of Arka's influence, Lucilia's beliefs are also more inclined to the Virgin.
The earliest belief in Lucilia was life, after all, she was once from the sea of life.
Following the pastor's lead, the same prayer began.
In the darkness where you close your eyes, there are spots of light flickering.
Feeling this point of light, Arka immediately had a familiar feeling.
From Our Lady.
This is the revelation of Our Lady.
Not again.
On his first meeting with the Virgin, Arka asked a simple question about the Riding Revelation.
To put it simply, the Virgin didn't know what this thing meant, but a simple revelation that might be related to Arka asked him to take a look.
Whether or not he can understand what inspiration can be obtained depends on Alka's own understanding.
Arka always felt that even the Virgin herself was not skilled in this thing.
He even thought that it might be some kind of ability that Our Lady had just acquired, after all, it was not represented in the canon or in any other way.
Of course, this is a big contrarian idea, remove it.
Arka slowly calmed down.
As the flickering point of light expands, it becomes a picture.
It seems to be somewhere underground, somewhere deep underground.
A simple palace was built there.
In a space surrounded by crystals. Or that it can't be described as crystal, but some kind of transparent glass plate.
A flickering point of light floated in the crystal space, as if sensing that Arka outside the screen was observing him.
The points of light flickered, revealing a male figure.
He has long black hair and looks good-looking, but somewhat ordinary.
There was a faint intimidation in him, even though he seemed amiable.
Dressed in light clothing, he smiled and waved at Arka off-screen.
The mouth is slightly open, and the mouth is shaped.
"Come to me, I'm waiting for you."
When the mouth shape is finished, the image dissipates and Arka opens his eyes, who is praying.
By this time the prayer had already been completed.
The people who had been sitting here had long since left, except for Puvis who was standing at the bottom of the statue holding a tin book and smiling at him.
Arka woke up from a dream and completely sealed the thoughts in his mind. Got up and walked towards Puvis.
"I just felt the breath of the Virgin, and she's watching you, right?"
Arka nodded, not retorting.
In this regard, Puvis only asked, smiled and asked, "Is it just to pray and seek instructions from the Virgin?" ”
Arka shook his head, "It's not because of this, I want to know if there is a place to store books or materials here, I want to know more about this place."
A look at the former Salalan Empire and some of the historical conditions that followed"
Hearing this, Puvis nodded.
"It seems that treasure hunting groups need the support of information, and it seems that you treasure hunters are very good at gathering what you need from this vast amount of information."
Listening to Puvis, he had obviously dealt with quite a few treasure hunts before.
That's why the Treasure Hunt is very happy to maintain good relations with the various churches.
With that, he led Arka and them to the back through the side door.
Although the fortress is not large, it cannot be a small place as the prayer hall outside.
Entering the back, you can see small rooms, which seem to be places to rest or store things.
Coming to a room, this room is not big or small, but the height of the floor has reached about seven or eight meters.
Apparently this place used to be a tower or something, but now it has been converted into a small library, with all kinds of materials and books, densely packed.
There was only a rudimentary spiral staircase that seemed to be somewhat wobbly and stretched all the way to the top.
"These are materials and books, most of which are related to this place. There are also a lot of demon-related books. If there's anything that can help you, you can come back to me. ”
With that, Puvis smiled and prepared to leave! Arka seemed to think of something, and hurriedly stopped him and asked, "I see that the atmosphere outside is very tense, is something going on?" ”
Hearing this, Puvis nodded with a somewhat serious expression: "According to the information sent from the front line, the demon's offensive has intensified again. It is possible that a full-scale offensive will be launched again, trying to break through a certain area.
This kind of thing happens every few years, but sometimes the offensive is strong, and sometimes the offensive is relatively easy.
These demons are always attacking and expanding, trying to find certain flaws, and then break through according to them. ”
Hearing this, Arka nodded in understanding, which means that the front-line offensive has become stronger, so more personnel help and materials are needed to prepare.
"But don't worry, we have a lot of experience dealing with all kinds of attacks."
Puvis said and left the place, where Arka and the others searched for the information they needed.
……
The sky was covered for a moment.
Night is coming.
Arka left the church's library with Lucilia and entered the street through a side door, soon returning to the Sound of Dawn.
The people on the ship had already returned.
Everyone at the table was eating and exchanging some information about the day.
Not only Alka, but Jason also asked why there was some tension in the whole port city.
"Shall we go to the front line?" Juan Lu was eating, and suddenly asked.
After all, none of them, except for Arka, who had to go to the front line before, had never been to the front line where the Demon Wall was located.
I don't know what it's like there.
According to the conversation that everyone had just had, Arka also had a better understanding of this atmosphere and the corresponding all-out attack, and thought about it and said.
"Let's go to the front line together after a while, and by the way, resist this attack. Help you can in any way you can. ”
To maintain the entire wall of demons is to protect themselves. After all, once the demon's attack took advantage, then the Devouring Mouth would definitely take this opportunity to start trying to take out Arka.
And they are also considered humans, and their goal is also to repair the world, so if they want to repair the world, these demons have to find a way to get out after all.
From the exchanges that everyone has just had, it can be seen that such a large-scale all-out attack was not carried out all at once.
It's a step-by-step process.
The demons will also begin to increase their forces, and will begin to harass and probe the human situation everywhere. They will also send all kinds of scouts to enter the back of the city wall through various rituals or methods, investigate the general situation, and wreak havoc in the back.
After that, a large-scale attack will begin, after all, there is almost no discipline in such a thing as demons, and there will always be all kinds of problems.
Even the generals of the three demons at the head had to spend a lot of effort to gather these damned demons.
They can even stumble with each other.
Not to mention the arrangement of various offensive directions and battle formations.
These are very difficult things for demons.
Of course, if the demon didn't have this chaotic nature, this place would have fallen long ago.
This chaotic nature is the essence of the devil and can never be cleaned up.
That's why they've been able to hold on to less and more.
The battle could continue for several months, until finally the heaviest siege battle broke out and repelled it. It will only be necessary to weaken the strength of a wave of demons to stabilize.
It can last for close to half a year, which is already the experience gained after resisting for so long.
The battle between the human side and the demon has already gone back and forth hundreds of times.
There are moments of crisis for each other.
There has been a complete stalemate, and without some major problems, it is difficult for both sides to make any breakthroughs.
Now, as far as Arka knows, this situation has been maintained for nearly 200 years.
200 years ago, the wall of demonic protection would be pushed forward or even moved back from time to time. There are often various adjustments.
From time to time, demons will expand their range, or be forced to attack and shrink back.
After going back and forth like this, it has been completely stable 200 years ago until now.
So the whole port city, although tense, has not yet reached that exaggerated atmosphere.
After listening to Arka's words, several people nodded.
Now the fighting on the front line is not fierce, and they can wait for a month or two before it passes, and then they can also know more about the situation between the two sides as a whole.
By the way, I will learn more about the situation here first, and I will be able to get more information when I get to the front line.
After all, the descendants of the royal family of the Salalan Empire are also on the front line, and Grefal is also on the front line.
These are the goals of their information-seeking.
After eating and drinking, Shadetti handed Arka some of the maps she had collected today.
"Some of the maps are outdated, but just some of the situations, and some of the maps are some wasteland.
These maps are maps of demon-occupied areas that have been ventured out before. ”
Xia Daiti has collected a lot of maps today, and there are 10 large and small.
Seeing these maps, Arka immediately became energetic, took the maps and ran to the captain's room, and began to examine them carefully.
Everyone didn't follow, they did their own things, and they didn't bother each other at this time.
Arka looked at the maps one by one in the captain's room.
Some of the maps are as outdated as Shadetti says, and no point of light will appear.
But half of the maps show a variety of points of light.
Among them, Arka found a red dot in the area of a demon map.
