The knight in the abyss

Chapter 861 Camp
Huge worm corpses and viscous yellow-green pus, this scene was so disgusting that most of the people Tanya brought hesitated to step forward.However, Lancelot and his partners are obviously not in this category, because compared with what they have experienced in Oasis Castle, Moglondal, and Cang Ye's Bone Castle before, the scene in front of them can only be said to be a small scene .

Except for the claw marks of worms, there was no other arrangement in the compartment, and they could not find anything new.Lancelot faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what it was, and the situation did not allow them to stay here any longer.

"There are a lot of undead soldiers coming this way!" A raven suddenly fell from the sky, turned back into a human form, and shouted at everyone, "We'll be there in 10 minutes at most, retreat!"

"Where are you going next?" Tania looked at Lancelot, "Are you going back to that owlbear's lair?"

"No." Lancelot shook his head. "We were originally going to Soveris, and we had to talk to him about a lot of things. We met this convoy on the way..."

"Great, we're going there too." A sincere smile appeared on the half-elf's face, "It's great to have you back, Captain."

----------

Before that eye-catching battle to defend the city, Crow Town organized an emergency evacuation due to Soveris' order, so the residents did not leave their homes empty-handed.They drove pack animals, drove a caravan, brought clothes, food, and even the entire inventory of the Wolf's Head Tavern, and got into the dense forest west of Raven Town.

Passing one piece after another of undulating hills, among the black and green canopy, everyone saw their destination.This is a beautiful valley surrounded by lush forests, and not far away is a small lake formed by mountain springs, which provides sufficient water for people who have lost their homes.Although it was only a 'short-term' foothold, the camp was not messy. Caravans and small tents were neatly arranged. If it weren't for the children running back and forth and the women doing laundry and cooking, Lancelow would have easily regarded this place as a It is a military camp.

The intention of this arrangement is obvious, that is, once an attack is encountered, the evacuation can be organized again quickly.This is the first time Lancelow has visited this place. Although it is invisible to the naked eye, it is actually very close to the border of the Demon Realm, but it is still within the Demon Realm after all.Out of his professional habits, he subconsciously began to evaluate the military conditions here—the valley was sandwiched between two steep ridges, it was almost impossible to reach it on foot, and the spellcasters in the town tried their best to create A large amount of fog made the entire valley more hidden.

In addition, Soveris has also deployed enough people to closely monitor any changes in the nearby woodland (and the entire kingdom). If the Lich wants to take any military action, the arakkoa will definitely know as soon as possible.

A group of people landed on the open space in front of the camp and turned back into human form.As soon as their figures appeared, they immediately attracted a lot of attention. Even though Lancelot lost his original majestic fine gold plate armor, he was still recognized by the townspeople.

"Sir Lancelot! Sir Lancelot!" A group of children quickly surrounded them, "Has your injury healed yet?"

"Are you going to lead the adults to fight home?"

"Sir, who is stronger between you and the Lich King? Last time you drew with him, right?"

"Can you really turn into a demon with wings?"

"Haha, of course it's true, but I'm not a bad person!" Lancelow hugged the most active little boy who asked, "Your name is Ruo Ze, right? Look at your pale face." Bai Nennen, if I'm that kind of badass devil, I can't help but start to nibble on you at this moment, ahhhhhh!"

The kids giggled and asked more outlandish questions, and Lancelot gave the answers they were expecting (only a few of which were true).After a group of yelling mothers arrived, they were finally freed from the siege of their children. However, after such a commotion, the townspeople who were still a little afraid of him also came up to him, expressing their own feelings. Regards and respect.

Despite the controversy surrounding the demon scene, there's no question that Lancelot and his pals are the heroes of Crowtown.After a while, Soveris, who received the news, also appeared. He first gave Lancelot a warm hug, and then explained a little apologetically:

"As soon as I received the news from Danx, I immediately organized people to meet you, but I couldn't find it anywhere..."

"Old Blackbird, we made a vote at Black Oak Valley, and Sir Lancelot joined us there." A member of Tanya's team said, "It's a good thing they came, otherwise we would But it would be miserable..."

"Black Oak Valley? How could it be in that direction?" Soveris asked back in surprise, "It's almost close to the border of the kingdom?"

"Yes." Lancelot nodded, "And we have some new discoveries... Do you have a more secret place here, suitable for conversation?"

"Of course. Come with me."

------------------

Soveris led everyone to an unexpected location: in the mountain slightly higher than the camp, there was a hidden dragon's lair.The full-grown green dragons who once lived here were gone hundreds of years ago, but the residents of Crowtown have always missed their unsavory neighbor.Because it is said that there will always be a lot of looted wealth in the dragon's lair, the crowmen searched the area repeatedly, and finally succeeded in finding the abandoned dragon's lair - there was not even half of it left, after all, it was a dragon. Maybe you don't know how many scales you have on your body, but you will never be mistaken about how many gold coins are in the lair. When this kind of giant moves on its own initiative, it will pack up all its belongings and never leave anything of value .

However, although the original owner has left, the remaining real dragon breath still prevents the beasts in the forest from approaching, so this is a good hiding place, but if you want to move all the townspeople in, the space is still a bit small.The arakkos thought of a very clever way, they only hid the bulky supplies in this cave, and set up their settlements in the valley below, so that if one day the Lich really came to the door again, it would not be too difficult Suffered a bone-shattering loss.

After confirming the safety and privacy of this place, Lancelot gestured to little Isabella, who immediately started to arrange a temporary altar—the emblem given by the Lord of the Dead was enough, but they still cleared a corner In a clean open space, candles, incense, and some dehydrated flowers are lit to express respect for the gods.Although their relationship with Kelemvor was already very familiar, he was a true god after all. As a knight, Lancelot still knew what was in it.

In a burst of silver-gray mist, the figure of the Lord of the Dead appeared in this abandoned dragon lair.His masked face nodded towards Lancelot, and said in a steady and calm tone:

"I am very glad that we meet again under such circumstances, Sir Lancelow, I was already looking forward to your arrival."

　Thanks to Elendor, Kaisen Xiaozhu, and Jambombadil for their monthly votes. Happy New Year everyone~!
