Chapter 3: The Devil's Tide
The sun rose on the fourth day.
I have to say that the efficiency of nearly 400 people is still very high, and the construction of the wall will probably be completed tomorrow night.
The camp was built to accommodate 1,000 people.
However, there are no houses in the camp to live in, they are all built with a few simple pillars and hay, and even many people are based on the sky, helpless, only by surviving the magic tide can they slowly build others, otherwise even if they are built, they will not survive the magic tide, everything will be in vain.
At least Chen Zhiran will not start building a residence before the demon tide is over, not to mention wasting time, and may end up with nothing.
His exploration team was divided into 3 teams, exploring in three directions to the forest, and the south side was close to the lake, so he could only go to the other three sides to find resources.
Chen Yi, the captain of his own escort team, was also sent out.
Although Chen Zhiran did not come out of the novice protection area, he was also lucky to upgrade to level 5 in the past few days, although he did not rely on his own killing, but as long as he killed the demonic beasts under his own hands, he could also bring him some experience.
It wasn't until noon that the exploration team returned from outside, bringing with them small creatures and magical beasts.
However, there were casualties, this time 13 people were killed.
But it seems that the system has erased Chen Zhiran's sad feelings, and he has no feeling in the face of these cold numbers, even if he knows that this is a real world, and the dead are real, but he still has no sad feelings.
Although Chen Zhiran was not sad, he still set up a grave for these warriors, which can be regarded as respect for these people.
He knew very well that the one who was secretly operating would not let go of the ground without a beginning, and it would definitely not be simple after 3 days, so he never relaxed.
Of course, their sacrifice was worth it, so that Chen Zhiran learned about the surrounding situation, drew a map, and left a story for more people to survive.
Within a radius of a kilometer, Chen Zhiran had already found out, and had also eliminated most of the demonic beasts below level 10.
Regardless of whether there are some demonic beasts that are coming, but demonic beast meat can provide some sources of meat for the camp, not only that, but demonic beast meat also has magical power, which still has a certain effect on improving everyone's physique.
A patrolling man suddenly said, "My lord, there are enemies."
Immediately everyone stopped eating, immediately picked up their weapons and entered the battle state.
Seeing such a scene, Chen Zhiran was still very happy, at least the two days of training were not in vain.
Chen Zhiran immediately led the people to the boundary of the reserve.
When they arrived at the location where they found the enemy, they saw a species with green skin, two horns on its head, a human-like face and body, and a green tail waiting outside.
He seemed to know the power of this light mask and didn't get close, so he watched from a distance.
And when he saw Chen Zhiran's arrival, he immediately said in the common language of this world: "Your Excellency, Honorable Lord, hello, I have no ill intentions."
Seeing this situation, Chen Zhiran couldn't judge whether this guy was good or bad, and said, "Who are you and what are you doing here?"
The guy said: "My name is Modi, I am a subordinate of Lord Mo Yun, and my lord is from the same world as you."
Chen Zhiran leaned close to his ear and said, "How many levels does he have?"
He said suddenly: "My lord, judging from the aura of the body, there is at least level 15."
Chen Zhiran immediately put away his underestimate mentality, what kind of pervert are they, it's level 15?
However, if the level is not high, it is impossible to come here, but if you can find here, I am afraid that the one named Mo Yun will not be far away.
"What do you want to do here?" After speaking, Chen Zhiran asked Ru Dun to secretly take precautions.
Chen Zhiran had to be cautious, in this case, strangers were more terrible than those demonic beasts without intelligence, and besides, the ranks and levels of others were stronger than their own.
If Chen Zhiran doesn't pay attention to it, he may have to say goodbye to this world.
As if sensing Chen Zhiran's doubts, he continued: "Your Excellency, don't worry, my lord, I just sent us to be friends with you, and there is no malice
Our lord also asked me to bring some news about this forest."
We? He's not the only one here.
Chen Zhiran guessed that he was probably not the only one who came from the other party, there must be other people around, and after knowing this, Chen Zhiran would not let him enter the scope of his protective cover.
{Note: Shields can only be entered by other creatures with the permission of their liege, not their own troops}
Chen Zhiran said: "I see, but I misunderstood, I don't know what information Your Excellency brought, can you say it?"
Modi said: "Of course, this is what I came here to inform Your Excellency."
He continued, "Our lords want to form an alliance with the lords of this area, so as to ensure the safety of our people."
Chen Zhiran was a little puzzled and said, "You mean that I am not the only one here."
"That's right, we roughly understand that there are 6 lords in this area, and we may find more lord camps in the future."
Chen Zhiran then asked: "Then how far is the distance between us?"
Modi said unhurriedly: "According to our exploration, the nearest one is only about 500 meters, and the far one is about 3,000 meters, of course, you are relatively remote here, if you didn't send your men out, we might not have found it."
After Chen Zhiran listened, he immediately began to analyze, he had explored a kilometer radius, that is to say, there was no territory within a kilometer of himself, combined with what Modi said, it is not difficult to speculate that the distance between himself and these people is about more than 3,000 meters as Modi said.
Seeing that Chen Zhiran was silent for a long time, Modi waited for a while and said, "I don't know if Your Excellency the Lord is willing to join us, otherwise I won't be able to say more about other information."
Chen Zhiran replied: "If I join the alliance, what restrictions will there be, or what should I pay attention to."
"Your Excellency the lord is too worried, there are no restrictions, our lord first wants to make a friend, and the second is the upcoming demon tide, he once said that unity is strength, only if we unite together, can we survive in this area."
Chen Zhiran's hanging heart also fell, with this question, the main reason is that he still doesn't know the details of the other party, if it is the kind of domineering, he says that he will not join, then what the consequences will be, everything is unknown.
But for now, the other side is friendly
"I can feel the kindness of your lord from Your Excellency, and I also hope to have some strong allies, and I agree to join your lord's alliance."
"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment, then I'll go back to my life, that's most of the information we know."
With that, he took out a piece of leather, which seemed to have something recorded on it, put it on the ground, and with a shh
Chen Zhiran picked up the animal skin, and on it was some information that he wanted to know.
With the addition of Chen Zhiran, there are 6 party lords within a radius of 10,000 meters, of course, this is calculated based on the location of that Mo Yun's territory.
But that's enough, and the rest of the information is a rough description of the names of the lords and the minions.
That's all the useful information, but it also provides great convenience for Chen Zhiran.
Although he only knows a rough idea and doesn't know anything else, he can also let Chen Zhiran draw a rough map in his mind.
Chen Zhiran really wanted to beat up that Modi.
Even if it's a map or something, you can give one, and you can give the lords an approximate direction, what is this?
However, Chen Zhiran was not angry, dismissed everyone, and began to analyze it slowly.
Overall, everything is moving in a good direction, and Chen Zhiran must also rely on his teammates to get more news at the moment.
————
In the next few days, Chen Zhiran also sent people out to find these people to contact and draw a large amount of map information.
During this time, his exploration team found two lords, and with the search of the other five members of the alliance, there were 13 people in their small alliance.
Chen Zhiran is in the southernmost part, and the others are scattered, but they are all within 10 kilometers.
They also began to send their men around and share maps on both sides.
Of course, friends were added to the system panel, and everyone began to get acquainted.
The happy day was not a few days, and soon the seventh day came, and Chen Zhiran's wall was built as early as the morning of the sixth day.
The rest of the time is to teach his subordinates some skills, and Chen Zhiran has also been included in the training, so it can be said that Chen Zhiran is waiting for the demon tide.
Fortunately, Chen Zhiran was promoted to level 11, and Zo Dun was promoted to level 16, and his own guard captain also had the strength of level 9, and the rest of the people had more or less improved, but the average level was only maintained at level 5.
After recruiting the last group of people, Chen Zhiran began to check the condition of the wall, just in case, and also exchanged the excess wood for stones, using this thing to strengthen the wall and increase the impact resistance of the wall.
And weapons, he not only has to supply himself, but also to his allies, so weapons are simply not enough, of course, these weapons are not given for free, other lords used a lot of resources to get from Chen Zhiran, after all, friendship is friendship, involving their own safety, it is right to keep some.
{Note: This is a supplement to what was not mentioned in the previous two chapters, once the lord leaves his protection range, he will attract powerful magical beasts, so the lord will not easily leave the protected area without ending the 7-day protection period}
As the red numbers on the system panel became fewer and fewer, Chen Zhiran also became nervous.
The same goes for the men under him.
The red moon slowly rises, signaling impending danger.
Looking at the messages that his allies kept sending, Chen Zhiran couldn't help but say a few words.
[One-stop service]: "Brothers, are you ready, the wall I built is okay, if you can't resist it, you can come in my direction."
[Hua Nian No. 1]: "Is it okay, why don't you come over now?" ”
[Daystar]: "What he said was just kind words, and now do you dare to go out, it will take more than 10 minutes, even if you ride a horse, it will take 20 minutes to get to him."
[Love but can't]: "Hey, how can you say these frustrating words, everyone is in the same boat, and they are already discouraged before they start?" ”
[Hua Nian No. 1]: "Yes, yes, support Brother Lu".
[Daystar]: "Okay, okay, I won't say it."
[Jiangnan] (Mo Yun): "Okay, everyone get ready, it's only 8 minutes, and finally check it well, I don't want to ...... it then."
……
"Whew", anyway, this can also relieve the tension.
Until the red number returned to zero, the blue light mask slowly faded, and the stones on the ground began to shake, Chen Zhiran immediately looked outside the wall, and the pair of blood-red eyes made his scalp tingle.
Chen Zhiran said loudly: "Defend according to the plan, I am with you."
Everyone began to proceed in the same orderly manner as the exercise, forming an outward semi-arc at the entrance of the wall, and the men who took up iron weapons were in front, and as soon as someone fell in front, they would immediately fill in the gap.
These are all things that Chen Zhiran has never seen in a book that he doesn't know.
From the book, I learned that such an arrangement is not only easy to defend, but also to prevent someone from escaping, after all, there is a gun in the back, and a hole is stabbed in the back, at this critical moment, Chen Zhiran can not guarantee their loyalty.
The red eyes came out of the woods, and one by one the demonic beasts seemed to be infected with something, and they suddenly attacked, and a large number of demonic beasts suddenly hit the mouth of the wall.
The rejection of horses and traps only stopped for a moment, and after the death of a small number of demonic beasts, they served as stepping stones for the demonic beasts behind.
At this moment, the charging demonic beast came to the front, and the people in front used a wooden shield to resist, and the spear behind the wooden shield stabbed forward, and from time to time there was a sound of metal rubbing, but it was only a very few.
When this happened, Raton stepped on their shoulders and immediately stepped forward to slay this rank demonic beast, and the defense line was defended in this way.
However, the impact of the monster is indeed quite large, but this reflects the beauty of this formation, even if it is slightly denatured, but it still maintains an arc.
Chen Zhiran was in the back to coordinate and carry the wounded to the back as soon as possible, but there was no medicine, so he could only use some grass that he had tried to stop bleeding these days to bandage, and then he had to go to the battlefield immediately.
However, the situation was quite stable, and in about half an hour, the demon tide passed like this, and Chen Zhiran never thought that the demon tide was so simple.
Hurry up and look through the list of allies, everyone is there.
[Hua Nian No. 1]: "Haha, I thought it was so terrible, but it turned out to be nothing more than that."
[Sakura Hometown]: "There is no harm directly, this is completely brushing the level."
……
Chen Zhiran felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything was wrong, but there was no way to get rid of the throbbing in his heart.
After the demon tide, there was deafening laughter in the camp, and everyone was rejoicing in victory.
Even Rudun was happy, but he looked at Chen Zhiran's contemplative face instead of smiling, and stopped smiling, approaching and asking, "Lord Lord, what's wrong, why is it so sad."
Chen Zhiran said: "It's a little wrong, but I can't say it, let them not relax, just in case."
"Yes, my lord."
For Chen Zhiran's orders, he will definitely abide by them, but the people below are different, one by one, they are like pouring cold water, and they suddenly talk about Chen Zhiran behind their backs, and even their loyalty has declined.
And soon something was wrong.
The tremor was stronger than the last time, and I could hear the dull, trembling feeling of the earth from the sound.
Chen Zhiran immediately shouted loudly: "It's not good, everyone will enter the battle state immediately."
Fortunately, it has been alerted just now, and the defense line has not been removed.
The monster soon began to attack the defense line, and several people did not adjust their posture in time, and they were suddenly knocked into the air, and there were several openings in the defense line.
Chen Zhiran said loudly: "Make it up, make it up quickly."
Rescue team, go up and carry people to the rear, quick".
Those behind the front line immediately stepped forward at the breach.
Chen Zhiran, who was busy, didn't see it at all, and information kept flashing on his system panel.
In the group of demonic beasts, a level 20 demon bear directly opened a hole, and soon rushed in, and the sudden attack was slapped away with a palm.
The demon bear wreaked havoc in the camp, killing and wounding dozens of people at one time.
Chen Zhiran didn't expect the situation to change suddenly, even if he was calm just now, he began to become impatient.
Facing the demon bear coming in his direction, his current idea was to escape, but before he could escape from here, the demon bear came to him, and the huge bear paw slapped at Chen Zhiran, and before Chen Zhiran took out the knight's sword, he was slapped out with a palm.
Chen Zhiran flew in the sky, feeling the feeling of weightlessness, and then fell heavily to the ground, his eyes immediately blurred, and his ears buzzed, like a dead person.
Watching the demon bear brutally kill the women behind it is as simple as chopping vegetables.
Even if they took up arms and resisted, it would be to no avail.
"Your Lord, Your Lord, Your Lord, Your Lord, are you alright?"
The faint sound slowly became clearer.
"His grandmother's, Rondon slaughtered this beast with me."
Chen Zhiran picked up the knight's long sword that fell beside him and attacked the demon bear, and Zo Dun also followed him.
When the demon bear saw the two of them, he didn't expect anyone to dare to challenge his majesty.
Throwing away half of the woman's body in his hand, a bear paw swept, Chen Zhiran felt the threat of death, but he couldn't dodge it at all, it was too fast.
At the critical moment, Dian suddenly burst out with a force that had not appeared before, and used all his strength to block this fatal blow that could not be avoided.
Chen Zhiran seized the opportunity and stabbed the long sword into the black bear's stomach, fortunately, the weapon sent by the system was really not a third-rate weapon forged in his own camp.
The long sword entered the flesh and was directly disemboweled, and Chen Zhiran poured the sword in the demon bear's stomach a few more times in a few seconds.
The demon bear was in pain, and the other bear paw immediately slapped at him, but Chen Zhiran had already pulled out the knight's long sword and swung it at the demon bear paw with force, and a huge bear paw was broken.
Chen Zhiran didn't dare to have any thoughts of underestimating this demon bear, so he immediately cut off the head of the demon bear.
The demon bear quickly died with the spray of blood.
Chen Zhiran didn't seem to feel that it was too much, and rushed to the group of demonic beasts in the defense line, killing with Badun, and a group of people behind saw that their lords were all on it, and they all fought forward, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
