Chapter 4 Annihilation I

At this time, Richard drank half a pot of liquor in one go, and his stomach was hot, and at last he felt better, and struggled to his feet, and said, "Don't make any noise!

"I'm looking for it! I seem to have heard his voice over there. Rainbow%ingee" Gangde immediately took the job and hurried into the woods, also escaping from the embarrassing situation.

Richard shook his head with a wry smile and ordered the few foot knights who were still able to stand to count the battlefield, while the two ogres were assigned to guard in case there were more enemies hiding in the woods. They have a natural keen sense of smell and are excellent candidates for sentinels. But even if there are still enemies, they should only be a few remnants. According to rough statistics, more than 50 elite soldiers were killed on the scene, which is almost the limit of what a Sir can afford. And Sir Goyo's own strength is actually so strong that Richard is surprised.

At this time, Quicksand had finished his treatment and walked over to Richard. Her face finally turned a little pale, and Richard stared at her and said, "It seems like you'll never run out of magic." ”

Quicksand glanced back at Richard and asked in the usual indifferent tone of a clergyman, "I just saw an adult summon four ferocious boars, is this the fourth one a special gift from the god of magic?"

Fourth-order magic natural summoning can summon one or two ferocious boars, and if there are other bonuses, the limit is three, and if there is no special reason, even the archmage can't summon a fourth boar.

Richard smiled, and decisively did not entangle himself with too much magic in quicksand.

The inventory of the battlefield was soon over. The enemy, including Sir Gaujo, suffered 69 dead and 10 seriously wounded, only two of whom were intact. A total of 70 elite warriors are far more than a knight should be. In Norland, a barren barren man is nothing more than this amount of troops.

After a while, Oral was also found by Gonde. The poor elven bard was hit by two arrows and was already seriously injured and unconscious, but fortunately, Quicksand actually used his last divine power to release a powerful treatment that saved his life. The ten infantry knights who followed Richard were killed and two seriously wounded.

The materials teleported this time were also found, namely two boxes of armor, a box of weapons, and a box of magic tool materials. Richard immediately opened the box and armed the survivors.

The interrogation of the captives was troublesome, and the seriously wounded and the lightly wounded were extremely tough, but from their shouting and scolding, some information could be discerned, such as the alarm of the alien invaders coming from oracles, and the fact that Sir Goyo was only the advance force, and the lord who was about to arrive was a baron.

In other words, Richard and the others encountered an organized and premeditated siege, so when the portal opened, almost everyone was besieged, and the whole team was immediately broken up and left in a separate predicament. If it weren't for the fact that almost all of the people brought this time had good skills, it would be possible to be wiped out.

Richard's heart was gloomy, and he turned his head to look at the quicksand, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, the enemies here have firm beliefs, and there are real oracles, which is not good news for the priest. Of course, for Richard, it was also troublesome, which meant that the interrogation would take some effort. But that's not the most important thing at the moment, there's another thing.

"Where's our forward base?" asked Richard. He was the last to emerge from the portal, which was supposed to be in the teleportation base, but ended up in the woods.

At this time, one of the infantry knights who had been scattered to reconnoiter the surroundings hurried back and said, "Lord Richard, you have found a base to advance! But, but, ...... There's not a single person in there!"

The forward base was less than a kilometer away, and the foot knight couldn't explain it for a long time, so Richard decided to go over and see for himself. If there's something you don't understand, quicksand will probably understand.

But when he really stood in front of the forward base, not only Richard, but even the always indifferent quicksand was stunned.

The so-called forward base is actually similar in size to the village, except that it has a strong wall and three arrow towers that can be seen and defended. But even through the parapet wall, you can see the stone minaret standing tall in the center of the base. The minaret is carved with intricate and bizarre patterns, and if you look closely, you can find hourglass patterns in the patterns. At the top is a square fire tower, which is supposed to burn with a perennial flame of time.

This is the beacon of time that shows the way for those who come after it, and it is also the most important building of this forward base.

But now, the entire forward base is silent, and it is so quiet that it is frightening. The flame that was supposed to burn eternally in the Lighthouse of Time has been extinguished, and it is unknown how long it has been extinguished. The gate to the forward base was open, and dozens of houses of various sizes could be seen inside, some of which were half-closed and half-closed, but there was nothing moving inside.

As soon as Richard tried to go in, he was pulled by the splash. The girl jumped over the wall with the 'Guide of Eternal Sleep', looked inside for a moment, sniffed vigorously before nodding her head and jumping into the forward base.

Gangde was already holding a shield in his left hand and a giant axe in his right hand, and he strode in from the main entrance of the base like a meteor. After Gangde, the ogre is familiar with it, and Tiramisu gives it a magic shield and stone skin spelling, which finally reflects the true colors of a magician. It wasn't until almost everyone had entered the forward base that Quicksand relaxed his grip on Richard, but still grabbed his sleeve.

"I'm not that important!" Richard said to Quicksand with a wry smile.

"If you die, the splash will die, and everyone else will be demoted. Quicksand said seriously.

"But this should be my concern?" Richard tried to argue.

"In the light of the dragon of eternity and time, your god is now in my possession, so I cannot let you die. Quicksand still replied seriously.

Richard couldn't laugh or cry, so he said earnestly with the same stern attitude: "But I am not in the habit of letting women stand in front of me!"

"Is this an Akmund tradition?" asked Quicksand.

"This ...... At last. A simple question, but Richard had a hard time answering.

Fortunately, quicksand did not insist, but let go of his hand. It's just that Richard has just taken a few steps forward, and five or six magic spells rain down on him, with shields, magic resistance, long-range defense, poison repellent, and continuous recovery of vitality. For a while, Richard's various divine lights continued to shine, indescribably gorgeous, and with such a luxurious blessing, it was a little difficult for him to die.

After a small episode, Richard and Quicksand finally enter the forward base with an eerie atmosphere. Just in case, Richard had all the foot knights disperse to the passages inside and outside the base to guard the guards, so as not to be attacked or cut off from the back.

The forward base was not large, and in less than ten minutes, Richard had already seen everything. When he stood in the open space in the middle of the base again, his face was very solemn. At this time, quicksand came out of a nearby room, and his face was not good-looking.

There were separate home-type houses in the forward base, as well as barracks for soldiers, granaries, armory, and utility warehouses, a blacksmith shop and alchemy room, and a small tavern. But no matter what kind of building it is, it's empty. However, the strange thing is that the kitchen stove is still cooking half-cooked food, but there is only char left in the stove, and there is no fire at all. The tavern table was still stocked with alcohol, and a bite-sized steak fell to the ground.

There are clothes and weapons everywhere, and each pile of clothes has been carefully inspected, and you can see everything from **, shirts to outerwear, armor, everything. If a man comes over, he can directly pick up a bunch of clothes and armor to wear, and then pick up a weapon, and he will be a fully equipped advance team soldier. In addition to warriors, piles of clothes can distinguish cooks, mages, maids, and samurai, among others. But the clothes and weapons were there, and the people who were supposed to be wearing these equipment were gone, as if at some point, they all disappeared out of thin air, and without a struggle, without a fight, they just disappeared for no reason.

The people who were investigating separately returned to the open space one after another, and most of them were a little frightened when they saw such a strange scene, and they all subconsciously clenched their weapons and kept looking around.
