through the dark road

Chapter 407 I Forgot I Was Bronze

In the torrential rainforest, an area the size of a city was almost reduced to scorched earth, with broken trees and branches rolling over each other, and a large number of giant spider remains could be seen in the meantime.

A mercenary scrubbed the spider mucus on the surface of the armor with the rain, and at the same time stood on a high upturned branch of a cut tree and looked into the distance.

At the edge of this battlefield, you can still see a group of spiders that are retreating. Those giant spiders that were brave enough to die just now seemed to have been summoned, and they turned around and ran away without even picking up the corpses of the same kind. , retreated extremely simply.

The mercenary looked happy, not only because he had upgraded in the previous battle, but also because of the news that their team leader threw out after a brief conversation with the scout.

After fighting here for more than a month, they even rested in a temporary camp nearby, and now they can finally return to the city!
Although they didn't say it clearly, based on the battle situation in the past few days, as well as the spider swarm that retreated just now like an ebb tide, they have already confirmed one thing in their hearts.

The battle for the spider forest is over!
"Eating spider legs every day, no matter how delicious it is, I'm a little tired. I can finally go back to Kardim."

The mercenary jumped down from the tree and said happily to his companions, thinking that the large sum of commission accumulated in the past two months was waiting for them to go back to collect, and felt that this mission was really comfortable.

"Are you fooled by the rain? Our employment mission is not over yet. I don't know how long it will take until this place is fully reclaimed." His teammate scratched the somewhat worn edge of the weapon in his hand and joked, but It seems a little unsatisfactory.

Because of sufficient manpower, Asheara's unified dispatch gave them a sense of invincibility in battle. Every battle had enough combat power to suppress giant spider swarms, and there were almost no casualties. The more the mercenaries fought, the more confident they became.

If you use Mo Bei's words, it is a tailwind that has been led by a big boss for nearly two months. It's such a flattering experience, I even forget that I am actually a bronze!
I don't know if it was influenced by Asila's commanding charm, or because of the hormonal aura emanating from the female wolf, many mercenaries even had the idea of ​​becoming an official iron wolf guard.

"Didn't we hear that the spider swarm has shown a tendency to be controlled? Seeing that the spider retreated so abnormally just now, it shouldn't seem like it was meant to boost morale. If it is true, then the next thing will actually be It's not too much trouble, anyway, there are commissions."

Another mercenary took up the conversation and said a few words, which attracted a burst of approval from his companions. Then he saw that someone nearby tore open the teleportation scroll, and a blue light curtain began to condense, so he hurriedly joined in. Go to the portal.

The mercenary team back in the city was ordered to temporarily disband, so they went to find places to rest in groups of three or five. When they passed by a group of guards wearing uniform armor, they recognized that they should be from Karti. He came from Mu City, and casually asked if everything was as usual in the capital.

This team of guards is exactly the dozen or so guards of Lu Gaoyin Palace sent back by Mobei. After they entered the teleportation range of Kurast Harbor, they returned directly with teleportation scrolls, saving a few days of drifting .

After hearing the inquiry, they all nodded with normal expressions, and then headed towards the direction of the Great Formation Tower.

The mercenaries just asked casually, and when they got a positive response, they stopped thinking about it and went on to do what they should do.

Lu Gaoyin's palace guards couldn't help but look back after walking a certain distance, and looked at the mercenaries who were talking about what to do after receiving the commission with some pity.At the same time, I was also a little worried about how their grand duke, who was stirring up trouble in Caldeum City, would solve the chaos that these people might cause.

After seeing Black, these people reported the series of actions of Mo Bei and his party after they arrived in Caltim City to Black, Kane and others in a complete manner, and these people were stunned.

Mo Bei handed over the teleportation reel that communicated with Kane to Perona who was operating behind the scenes, but Perona has only explained the situation concisely all the time, and how can these witnesses explain it in detail face to face.

"In such a short period of time, it can affect the situation in the capital of the entire kingdom... Even Lazarus spent several years..."

After Blake finished listening, he remembered the destruction of Tristram and the fall of the Khanduras Monastery, but he stopped midway because he felt that the analogy was not appropriate.

"From the time point of view, they may have already had contact with the Holy See. According to their previous suspicions, if the biggest crisis is lurking inside the Sadenko Cathedral, this is also their most dangerous time."

Kane had a look of worry on his face. He proposed to go to Caltim City to help, but was stopped by Mo Bei.

Even he couldn't refute the reasons Mo Bei put forward. For an old man like him with a somewhat crooked figure, even after disguised, it would be difficult to find a reasonable identity to have close contacts with Conrad's forces. North they invite suspicion.

And he wasn't sure how much he could help after he went there.

The news of the drastic change in the situation in Caldeum City is likely to spread among the family guards and mercenaries in a short time.

Hera Tieli mentioned whether to unilaterally block the teleportation with Kardim City and delay the spread of the news as much as possible, but Mo Bei did not agree, saying that doing so would make these people feel deliberately deceived, not It is beneficial to mobilize and win over in the future.

Fortunately, the situation in Spider Forest has made decisive progress, and the personnel on Conrad's side should not have much reaction, so there is no worry here for the time being.

Those voodoo giant spiders have spared no effort in cultivating, devouring a large number of corpses of the same and different kinds, and enhanced by voodoo medicine, each of them has extremely fierce strength.

Less than a month after they were released into the forest, the spider swarms that had been fighting left and right in the Spider Forest gradually stabilized. Judging from the situation in the past two days, most of them have successfully replaced the spiders that originally competed naturally. Afterwards, he began to control the still huge group of giant spiders.

Aike has also been staring at the spider forest during this time, and now he should be trying to mobilize the spider swarm to execute various commands.

And Kane's first reaction after hearing the news was to mobilize manpower to support Mo Bei and the others.

But going south from Kardim City is smooth and smooth, and it only takes more than ten days to get here, but the time spent on the return trip is more than three or four times that of the time. After all, the land road is ups and downs, and the terrain is complicated. Can travel day and night.

Kane rubbed his bare forehead helplessly, feeling that as the last heir of the Horadrim clan, there were too few who could help Mo Bei and the others, and he felt very ashamed.

In fact, the Horadrim family was able to complete the feat of hunting the three demons back then, that is because capable people emerged in large numbers, the team was strong, and there were big bosses who continued to provide help in secret. Now he is left alone, and he is old and often It's normal to feel more than you want and not enough.

He judged that Mo Bei and the others should have had contact with the Holy See. However, at this time, Mo Bei and others had returned to the capital from Alcanas, and almost all the guards in the mining area were mobilized to follow behind the owner Conrad. Swing to the huge square in front of the Sadenko Cathedral.

They and the remaining Holy See of Zakarum are finally going to give it a go.
