through the dark road

Chapter 308 Follow-up Effects
The rain was still pattering down, and the flame ignited by the meteorite had been extinguished. Mo Bei and Perona rummaged among the charred pieces of wood, branches and leaves all over the floor, and soon found what they were looking for.

A war drum the size of a millstone, the drum body is made of a huge ferocious skull. After the skull is cut off, it is covered with a drum surface of unknown material, with animal tendons on the edge, and the drum surface is tightly stretched on the skull.

Under the bombardment of the meteorite just now, the war drum is still intact, and the drum surface has not been burned, which shows that the material is not ordinary.

And from the mess on the ground, it can be seen that a temporary platform was built on the tree before. This arrangement is much simpler than that of the small lake to the west, but it is also effective.

The sound of the drum can not only affect the mind, but it can also spread tens of kilometers away in the rain. The monsters in the surrounding area have basically gathered outside the defensive barrier at this time.

However, at this time, after the surroundings became quiet, they actually heard the faint sound of drums coming from a distance. Obviously, there were more than one such arrangement, as if a troop transport line had been laid, and the entire dense forest The monsters are gradually leading to the harbor of Kurast.

This is also in line with Mo Bei's previous speculation. To attract monster waves in this way, it is inevitable that the timing of the attack cannot be accurately controlled. This is also the limitation of this raid method, and it is difficult to form an overwhelming advantage from the beginning.

It's just that the timing of the raid this time is quite subtle. Is it a coincidence, or the secret that only circulated among the management has been passed on? This kind of speculation may be another big trouble left by the raid.

When the two were about to go to another source of the drum sound to investigate, the dense forest fell into complete silence. I don't know if it was because there were no monsters nearby to attract, or the other party had stopped moving for other reasons.

Even so, the two still went to the previously sensed direction to check around, but in the end they still didn't find it.

They had already done what they could do, and Perona's state was close to the limit, so Mo Bei tore the teleportation scroll directly and returned to Kurast Harbor.

The monsters in the city had already been strangled, and the monsters outside the barrier started to retreat because of the heavy casualties after the drumbeat stopped. Before nightfall, the battle gradually subsided.

However, the suspicion caused by the various abnormalities before and the oppressive atmosphere brought about by death could not dissipate with the end of the battle.

People kept these emotions to themselves, helping to clean up the ruins and the corpses of monsters.

After the barrier of the Great Array Tower was removed, the drizzle fell into the city again, washing away all kinds of blood and filth.

For those who are used to this kind of weather, the rain at this time not only did not aggravate the gloomy atmosphere, but had a soothing effect.

Both job-changers and ordinary residents moved very quickly. After midnight, they sorted out some simple shelters among the ruins, began to recover their physical strength, and waited for dawn to continue tidying up and rebuilding.

Mo Bei led his teammates to find a place where the body of the black water horn python could not be seen, propped up the collapsed roof, built a temporary awning, and hid in with five or six other people, just here to shelter from the rain. Everyone under the shed did not say a word, doing their own things silently.

Miloer twisted a towel for Perona, asked her to wipe her face, and then gently rubbed her head. Then Perona curled up on Milore's legs, looking at the rain outside in a daze Preoccupied.

Some contradictions cannot be reconciled after all, and some things have to be done.But this kind of feeling of guilt despite doing nothing wrong is really depressing.

After the whole city quieted down, voices of disputes gradually spread. Some were dissatisfied because others were too close, and some disliked each other because they were in a bad mood. Many reasons seemed a little inexplicable, but they quickly disappeared. They were all dissuaded, and no one really made a move.

The people around Mobei are all ordinary residents whose houses have been destroyed. Hearing the noises around them from time to time, they seem very disturbed. I don’t know why people become so irritable. It seems that after the monster broke through the barrier, people and There have been some changes in the relationship between people.

"Uh...why are you moving away all the time...I look like such a friendly person, why don't I seem to be impatient with others for no reason?" Mo Bei looked at the few people who were sitting farther and farther away. a joke.

The few people looked at each other and laughed dryly a few more times, still a little at a loss, thinking that what you just looked at was not at all friendly. . .

Before Mo Bei was thinking about how to find the human traitor lurking in the harbor of Kurast, before he knew it, he showed a cold killing intent on his face, and the people around him were frightened .

It's just that he didn't know it. Seeing that the people were still very nervous, he took out a small oak barrel about one foot high, shook it and said:
"The ale from my hometown, let's drink some to calm down and relieve fatigue?"

It's just that those people refused again and again, so he had no choice but to give up, put away the wine barrel, and continued to think about things.

Just like most human strongholds, the loosely managed Kurast Harbor is naturally unavoidable to be infiltrated by the enemy.This time, whether it was the sudden situation of the formation tower or the appearance of the black water horn python, the problem was exposed extremely acutely, making everyone feel like a thorn in their backs.

So even if those people are found out, most of them still cannot eliminate the suspicion and estrangement among job transferees.

He couldn't help guessing, could this follow-up impact be the real purpose of this monster wave raid?
Judging from the two members of the high-level council of Zakarum I met before, this incident must be inseparable from Mephisto's layout, and whether this is a foreshadowing of a full-scale invasion, and what will happen next? A conspiracy is brewing.

Mephisto, the Lord of Hatred, the de facto leader of hell, is really disgusting.

The former Horadrim once heard from Tyrael his evaluation of his opponents.

As the elder brother of the three demon gods, Mephisto is best at conspiracy and layout. Even in hell, he spreads the seeds of hatred between the demon and the demon king all the time.He is the source of hatred, and naturally hates everything in this world, including his own brothers and children.

It was this hatred that prompted his daughter Lilith to rebel. After being extremely tired of the never-ending war between hell and the highest heaven, she teamed up with the like-minded archangel Inaris to steal the world. of the stone, created the world of man, the sanctuary.

As for Baal, the King of Destruction, he may also be called the Lord of War. He loves to drive the violent army of demons to destroy everything with war.

Diablo, the King of Fear, advocates absolute power and is the most powerful individual among the three demon gods. He can manipulate all fear, and even countless angels regard it as the root of fear in their hearts.
