Herag glanced at the teleportation bead in his hand, put it into the spatial ring, and said, "Understood. ”

He was ready to set off and go out to find out what was going on.

Kane reminded, "You need to be careful when you move outside, the natives of this plane now see us as enemies of life and death. ”

Herag nodded and said, "Thanks for the reminder." ”

When he left Base Twenty-Seven, he still saw the familiar mountains in front of him.

Herag had patrolled many times here with Rees and David, and was very familiar with the terrain.

He just glanced around, and saw that although the general terrain had not changed much, the trees were similar.

But there are still many differences, that is, there are many traces of battles all around.

There were obvious signs of spell bombardment in many places, and from these marks alone, Herag could imagine what kind of battles he had experienced before.

The most important thing is that these traces are very close to Base Twenty-Seven, which means that someone has attacked and reached this place.

Most of the people who can attack here are the elves and some powerful spellcasters.

Judging from these traces, these people must have a strong strength to be able to reach this place.

Herag remembers that when he left, the mountains were full of monsters.

If you want to get here, you need to destroy countless monsters first.

In addition to a large number of monsters and wizards in the base, it is not easy to think of here.

However, judging from the fact that most of the Norn Kingdom was occupied, the attacking elves and spellcasters were obviously defeated.

And it is very likely that it will be a fiasco, which will lead to the subsequent wizards to destroy and push flat, and directly take down half of the Norn Kingdom.

The remaining half is not because you can't take it, it's just because you don't want to take it.

Herag thought about it, and felt that it should have something to do with the things in Strange Valley.

Parker led people to steal the elven hometown directly, and coupled with the rout on the frontal battlefield, the elves and the spellcaster fell into a dead situation.

Herag made his way in the direction of his memory, observing his surroundings.

The surrounding mountains were dotted with shadow altars, far fewer than they were when Herag left.

Herag even saw some of the damaged Shadow Altars, and he had no intention of sending anyone to continue repairing them.

There are also very few monsters wandering among the mountains, and only one or two can be seen occasionally.

Before Gerag left, it was filled with countless monsters, and wizards were summoning monsters day and night.

Now it seems that the Altar of Shadows is no longer important, at least not in this place.

Herag felt that because of the cessation of expansion, there was no longer a need for monsters to attack cities and land, and there was no need for monsters to consume the enemy's strength.

Moreover, there is no need for monsters to patrol and defend near Base 27, a large area is already under the control of the expeditionary team, and few people will attack this place.

However, patrols could still be seen along the way, and Khrag went through several identity checks before finally making it out of the mountains.

As soon as Herag walked out of the mountains, he headed in the direction of Oberstan.

He had in his mind the appearance of the border city, where Asuna's home was.

Arriving outside the former Oberstan, Herag saw nothing but ruins.

Standing on top of the ruins, Herag could no longer see what Oberstein looked like.

Oberstan was almost razed to the ground, and none of the buildings that remained intact remained.

From memory, Herag came to the location of what had once been Asuna's home.

But now there was only a scorched earth and all sorts of charcoal, and Herag rummaged through the rubble, finding only a corner of the floral dress.

Herag saw a butterfly fly from a distance and land on the charred wood.

He turned and walked in a northeasterly direction, which was in the direction of Strange Valley.

A two-headed wolf emerged from a pile of rubble, looked at Herag, sniffed at it, and then turned away.

Gerag pulled out a map, which Kane had given him before leaving.

In addition to the maps that have been explored by the expedition so far, it also indicates the expedition's sphere of influence so far.

On the map, the kingdom of Norn is cut by a north-west-southeast horizontal line.

Below the horizontal line is under the control of the expeditionary team, and above the horizontal line is still the territory of the Norn Kingdom.

Several locations are also highlighted on the horizontal line, where the army of the Kingdom of Norn was stationed.

These places are generally very important cities with excellent geographical locations.

Herag glanced at the map and roughly planned his route.

He planned to go to a small and inconspicuous city near the horizontal line first, and then take a horse-drawn carriage slowly through several cities, and then gradually approach the side of the Strange Valley.

The main reason why Herag went to the Valley of the Strange was to take a look at the current situation and see if he could find any valuable clues.

Although the World Tree had been removed entirely, Herag wanted to see it.

After all, he has the blood of the elven royal family, and he may be able to find something that the expedition team can't notice.

Herag looked around, and after not seeing anyone else from the dark blue environmental detection, the magic aura in his body surged, and some fire elemental particles condensed around his body.

He planned to fly with the elements as far as the expedition could control, so that it would be much faster and he wouldn't have to worry about being discovered by the elves and spellcasters on the elven plane.

Herag flew through the air at high speed, and the scene below quickly receded.

When he flew higher, the scene below did not retreat quickly, but still showed more clearly.

Herag found that castles were dotted across the ground below.

These castles look like they were newly built, and there are traces of wizards and monsters coming in and out.

When Herag looked down from the air, he could see that the castles were distributed in a regular manner, with each castle controlling an area around it.

The fire elemental flew fast and efficiently, and it took only three days for Herag to reach the border area under the control of the expedition.

When Herag reached the area, he landed on the ground, took out a Changeling potion and changed his appearance, and then took out a set of robe common to the elven plane and put it on.

After careful camouflage, Herag continued his way.

Herag's target was a place called Cloudtown, which was a little further away from the border and did not directly confront the forces on the expedition's side.

Therefore, the strength deployed by the Norn Kingdom over there is weaker, and there should not be a strong presence to guard that place.

That's why Herag chose that place. (End of chapter)
