Make the dragon great again

Chapter 73 The Threat from the North (ask for votes and investment!)

In the northwest of the Kingdom of Bechymos, on the coast of the Inner Sea, in an adventurer's camp, an ironic voice sounded:

"Look, isn't this Hank's team who discovered Ranold's third goblin city?"

Hank, Ai Lu, and Yorkson just arrived at this camp, and they were "welcome" by old acquaintances.

"Tsk, it's that annoying guy Wigan!"

As soon as they saw the mocking Wigan on the opposite side, the three of Hank shrank their necks subconsciously.

This Vigan is the captain of a silver-level adventurer team that has been active in the northern part of Bechymos for a long time. There are more than ten members, the lowest strength of the members is black iron, and the highest is himself and gold.

When Hank was young, he and Wigan belonged to a disbanded adventurer team. At that time, the two had conflicts. After the team disbanded and went their separate ways, the two have always disliked each other.

But Wigan's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and his rating in the Adventurer's Guild is getting higher and higher, but Hank has not made any progress, and he is still rolling in the black iron level for many years, which makes Wigan always treat Hank as an "old friend". With a certain sense of superiority, even the team with Wigan has a kind of contempt for Hank's team...

Until more than half a year ago, Wigan, who returned to the eastern guild headquarters to prepare for the promotion of the team rating, found that Hank's team appeared at the forefront of the adventurer team ranking list, and it happened to be on top of his own team, becoming the latest Gold rank team!
Wigan's first reaction was "This is impossible! There must be something wrong." In fact, just as Wigan thought, Hank's gold rating was obtained in an almost fraudulent way.

Later, Hank took Ai Lu and Yorkson away from Behemoth, in fact, he also meant to avoid Wigan...

With a light spat, Hank was about to take his companions to leave in a different direction, so as not to entangle Wigan, who had always been against them, from entanglement.

But he came back to his senses as soon as he took half a step. Now they are not the same parallel importers as before.

'Why am I avoiding him?My strength has reached the third level now, a real gold level! '

"What's the matter, my old friend, aren't you going to run away like a frightened groundhog this time, as you did every time we met?"

Seeing Hank stop, Vigan spoke loudly, as if trying to attract the attention of others.

"Oh! I remembered, the mountain dwarf kingdom complained to the guild that you broke the contract without reason, and now the guild is considering lowering your rating. Maybe you will not be gold-level in the near future, so you are planning to lose that piece of gold. Do you try to maintain your poise and decency for as long as you can before your nameplate?"

The ratings of adventurers are basically equal to their own strength, but in fact the ratings are based on the points and evaluations obtained from completing the entrustment. Traces are the main reason for cheating on gold ratings.

Wigan's own strength is properly gold-level, and his team's overall rating is silver, and it is the first echelon of silver-level teams. It was expected to be rated as a gold-level adventurer team within a year;
But as luck would have it, half a year ago Hank and the others broke out halfway, taking the corpses of goblins all over the place and a newly discovered goblin city as their merits, overwhelming the limelight and performance evaluation of other teams. Reached the gold rank.

However, the number of gold-level places awarded by the Eastern Guild is limited every year. Hanke and the others just happened to squeeze Wigan's team out.

It's no wonder that Wigan felt so tax-evaded after learning that Hank's team showed signs of declining evaluation...

At this time, there was also a lot of discussion in the camp, and most of the content was related to the topic of "the actual strength of Hank's team is not worthy of the rating". Obviously Wigan, who came one step earlier and knew that Hank would come to this camp, had already sent The truth about him got out.

"Captain, I think it would be better for us to change camp..."

Ai Lu started to play her traditional performing arts again, and Hank stared at her as usual, and said:
"What to change? We are now the real gold level, what are you afraid of..."

Ai Lu and Yorkson showed panic, and quickly stopped Hanke from speaking.

"Captain, shut up, what you forgot to say will only make things worse!"

After hearing this, Hank couldn't help shaking his body, remembering that he had always said good things but not bad things, but then he gritted his teeth and said:

"I don't believe that in this life, I can encounter more unlucky things than the one half a month ago!"

Hanke refers to the "active" signing of the master-slave contract...

Wigan was very annoyed at the behavior of Hank and the others ignoring him, and was about to continue to taunt, when suddenly there was a call from the patrolling personnel outside the camp:

"Savages found!"

Everyone in the camp was shocked, and they didn't care about Hank's affairs, they grabbed their weapons and rushed outside.

"Where is where?"

"That area belongs to our team, you all stay away!"

"Fart! Whoever grabs it will own it..."

After all, it is rumored that this is just the aftermath of the barbarian's disaster. These adventurers never thought that they would overturn their car, and the barbarian's left ear is a voucher to exchange bounties with the noble lord, so they are all scrambling to grab a better one. s position.

Wigan didn't care about Hank and the others for a while. His team also needed to accumulate achievements and wealth, so after throwing a mocking word, he also led the team to rush out to grab a favorable position.

"Captain, I have a bad feeling..." Ai Lu looked worried.

"why?"

"Because of that sentence you just said 'I don't believe something worse will happen'..."

……

Adventurer camps, large and small, formed a relatively sparse line of defense on the national border at certain intervals.

In the jungles and plains to the north of the line of defense, scattered barbarian teams continue to sneak towards the south, but their sneaking methods are clumsy, and their traces have long been discovered by adventurers.

But behind the dense forests and hills in the north that the adventurers couldn't see, there were more than a dozen barbarian armies with hundreds of people and relatively complete equipment hiding at this time.

In the largest dense forest, an army of thousands of people, as the commander of this secret march, is quietly lurking here, and the composition of this army is not only barbarians, but also many undead creatures mixed in in.

The commander of this army is a lich whose body has been completely skeletonized.

"Although as an undead creature, I don't need to live in the warm south at all, but since it is the order of the city lord, of course I will occupy a large piece of warm land south of the Behemoth Inner Sea at the fastest speed. of."

Lich Aidankui was holding a crystal ball, and was talking to an illusory black mist inside the crystal ball.

"The living beings in the northern part of the mainland are still too scattered, and there is no basis for a large-scale war to break out. It is difficult to replenish my [Death Hell], and the human country in the warm southern region has a large population. As long as there is a war of tens of thousands of people here war, I can imitate those predecessors in ancient books and set off a medium-sized disaster of undead!"

After listening to Aidankui's words, a vague voice came from the crystal ball:

"Very well, you can slaughter as many lives as you want, desecrate souls, create as many undead creatures as you can, and build a stronghold here... As for those barbarians, it doesn't matter if they die, as long as their corpses can still move Anyway, they are just the servants of the ancestors."

"As you wish, Your Excellency Chief Assistant."

After the black mist in the crystal ball dissipated and the call ended, Aidankui snorted and said to himself:
"It's just a mere human being, relying on some blood relationship with the city lord, he took the position of chief assistant, standing on top of me and other noble liches... Just watch! Let me lead this trip to the south. It's you The biggest mistake, I will be promoted to legend in this war full of killing and death! Then I will go back and drive you down from the position of chief assistant!"

Aidankui put away the crystal ball, and gave the order to the barbarian centurions to "sneak attack when the adventurers are attracted by the small group", and then began a lengthy spellcasting chant, preparing for the next mass awakening Walking corpses get ready,
