The knight in the abyss

Chapter 321 Devil's Main City
In this windless night, Lake Lamborado is like a black pearl, elegantly inlaid on the wide plain of Androlina.Luminous plants grow in the water near the shore, outlining the shoreline and luring curious creatures closer.

Based on Lancelow's knowledge of the abyss, if they really get too close, nothing good will happen.Tentacles protruding from the water?A shark-like mouth?Anything is possible, and he's not particularly interested in finding out.

Arriving at Lamborado Lake means that everyone has gone one-third of the journey. Next, they have to walk fifty miles along the lakeside, and then walk fifty miles westward to reach the main city of the devil, Gormen Diccoli. ya.

At this moment, there are still about two hours before dawn, and they must find the hiding cave as soon as possible.This would have been the most dangerous part of the journey, and the pressure of time would likely force them to walk blindly into the nearest cave, hoping that the inhabitants would not be too difficult to deal with.

But with the help of little Isa, things became much easier.

Bats, mice, wild wolves, these creatures seem to be able to survive in any dangerous environment, even a place like the abyss.The little vampire activated his night child ability again, calling a large group of bats, and soon learned from these children that there was a hidden and unoccupied cave nearby.

Under her leadership, everyone came to a rocky pit not far from the lake.There are a few tiny cracks in the ground that only bats can get in and out, and it's hard to think that there are caves to hide under.

But after the dwarves moved a few boulders away, a deep entrance appeared in front of everyone.

The elf ranger jumped in first, and everyone filed in under his leadership, while Lancelot, who walked at the back, manipulated the vines to restore the entrance.

As little Isa knew from the bat, the cave was indeed not occupied by monsters, and the smell was not bad.The winding cavern stretched for hundreds of feet, and they soon finished exploring the entire cavern.At the deepest point is a tranquil pond, which also has some glowing water plants, suggesting that the cave is connected to Lake Lamborado.

They carefully avoided the pond, and set up camp in a dry stone hall with a higher terrain.A warm bonfire was lit, and while the soft light dispelled the darkness, it also dissipated the chill in the cracks of the stone.The order of the vigil was arranged, and everyone took turns to rest, waiting for the night to descend on the land above their heads again.

Unlike previous encounters, nothing disturbed their rest this time.By 9pm, everyone was in great shape and couldn't wait to continue their journey.

The luminous aquatic plants near the lake shore are like a strip of lights in the dark night, pointing out the direction for everyone to move forward.They moved carefully under the cover of darkness, making sure not to attract any unwanted attention.

This is still a 'battle zone', but it has come to the rear of the demon legion.They didn't encounter any enemies like patrols on the road, not even newer footprints, which instead made Aksian a little uneasy.General Elf has dealt with these opponents for many years, and knows that this is definitely not explained by luck.

In his worst guess, the demons had already launched an attack, and the army moved south to the Hofenstein River, and the area where everyone was located was naturally not within the coverage of the legion patrol.If that's true, the battle plan I'm going to steal on this trip may not be of much value.

But they are in the wild, unable to obtain the latest information about the situation, and everything will not be known until they reach the main city of the devil.

But even though they didn't encounter any demon patrols, they encountered some original demons and cowardly demons in groups of threes and twos.These low-level tanar'ri pose no threat, and will flee from any creature more powerful than themselves if not coerced by a higher-level demon.

Lancelot didn't bother to hunt down these guys, but a few cowards ran towards the lake in a panic.In the next second, all the luminous water plants in that area suddenly went out. When they lit up again, there was no coward by the lake. The encounter with the super demon also made everyone involuntarily move a little further away from the black lake.

Because the journey was very smooth, they took only four hours to walk the journey that they had planned to take all night.The luminous shoreline of Lake Ramblado turned northeast, and the crowd began to head west, on the final leg of their journey to Gormen Dicolia.

If they continued to move forward at the current speed, they might be able to see the towers of the demonic main city after dawn, but at the suggestion of the elf ranger, everyone found a cave and began to rest.Gormen de Coria is an open town, but not a neutral one.The difference between the two is that there will be no administrator or agency providing security for visitors.

The dwarf bartender Dagg's styling for everyone does make them look unfriendly, but appearance alone won't deter greedy local snakes.After they enter the city, they will definitely be greeted with 'warmth' by the local residents, so they must be in the best fighting state at all times.

The upside-down work and rest these days and nights, as well as the high-intensity long-distance trek made everyone very tired. They slept for ten hours in the cave where they were hiding, and didn't get up until almost two o'clock in the afternoon.The people did not wait until it was dark to set off, but walked on the road openly, not afraid of being noticed, because this is no longer a 'military zone', there are many teams dressed similar to them on the road, but most of them are facing the opposite direction from everyone direction.

There have always been rumors in the abyss that Cang Ye, the 'Mother of Demons', is the mother of the entire Tanari Demon Race. Therefore, the high mountain with the Cang Ye Palace located on the north side of the Lamborado Lake is called the Mother Mountain, and is called the Mother Mountain. Many middle and low-level demons, as well as cultists who worship the mother of demons, regard it as a holy place, while the high gate Dicolia, which is full of portals, is the destination of pilgrims from other levels and even other planes. point.

This abyssal city was not the headquarters of Cang Ye's army at the beginning, the demon generals only set up a conscription point here to replenish the soldiers consumed in the protracted war with the Aras.But as those demons who are considered to be the descendants of the dark night have become the lords of the abyss one after another, especially the 'lord of the dark' Graz'zt has become an abyss known as the 'prince of demons' Demogorgon and the 'lord of the undead' Orcus After the Big Three, more and more pilgrims poured into this small town, making its scale increase dramatically, and it has the scale it is today.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Lancelot and his party arrived at the end of this journey, the main city of demons composed of countless twisted spiers, Gormen Dicolia.

　Thanks to Seyguk, Gray Iron Wing, and I am smiling, the three book friends who voted monthly, thank you!In FC1, there is indeed a place called Gormen Dicolia, but the history about it in this chapter is all made up by myself haha, please pay attention to distinguish it from the official establishment.I will be on a business trip tomorrow, and the high-speed train will take 5 hours back and forth. I guess I have to write it on the car.
