Chapter 1301: Skeletons, Diaries and the Battle of the Year

Latest website: It is different from ordinary outpost fortress.

The functions of the base camp should be more comprehensive.

At the same time, this also means that the blood-burning demon had planned to stay here seriously.

It seems that this bone burial bunker hides many more secrets than Zong Shen had previously expected.

"interesting."

Zong Shen's attention returned to the warehouse hidden deeper underground.

The environment here is still quite dry, without much moisture.

It's just that with the circulation of outside air, some dust floats on the ground.

Compared to the hall above, this place is obviously much neater.

Not only was there no sarcophagus containing the deformed demon, there were no monsters either.

But in front of the baggage boxes against the wall, there were two skeletons.

One of them is an armored skeleton half kneeling on the ground. Judging from the appearance, it should be human.

Judging from the style of the armor, it is still thick and full-body armor.

Set on the skull is a round barrel helmet with a cross opening in the middle.

The other corpse was that of a demon. The shriveled scales tightly wrapped the bones due to shrinkage.

On the head covered with horns, the four eye sockets were empty, with some dust and cobwebs accumulated inside.

The size of the skeleton is slightly larger than that of a human being.

The posture of these two skeletons is very strange, but a little observation can clarify the situation at that time.

The scaly claws of the demon skeleton broke through the thick plate armor and penetrated directly into the chest of the human warrior.

At the same time, the human warrior also pierced the demon's throat with the short spear in his hand.

Both sides can be regarded as dying together.

He maintained the same posture as before his death until more than 10,000 years passed.

Their bodies have long since decayed, leaving only bones and scales.

It is worth mentioning that Zong Shen also saw a half-burned fire stick next to the human warrior.

This kind of fire stick can be taken and burned anytime.

At this point, his motives back then were obvious.

Probably to burn the baggage boxes with strange emblems on them.

Combined with the previously obtained clues and the damaged metal rune door outside the compartment.

It is not difficult to guess the true identity of this skeleton. It should be a saboteur who sneaked into the bunker back then.

After all, there was civil strife in the Blood-Burning Demon at that time.

The damned, internal chaos, plus the resistance alliance in the Endless Continent.

The above factors are mixed together, and it seems that it is not surprising what kind of situation will occur here.

It's just that the ending of dying together is a bit sad.

But in fact, situations like this are not uncommon.

The excitement and tragedy at the end of the last era created countless tragic songs.

Both the blood-burning demon and the human warrior are fighting for their own world.

And it can be seen that the situation at that time was already very chaotic.

There was no one to collect the body afterwards.

Perhaps when the human soldiers infiltrated, the Bone Burial Bunker itself was on the verge of destruction.

After standing there and observing for a moment, Zong Shen glanced at the two skeletons.

A golden reminder appeared in my mind.

[The skeleton of Hughie Ferguson, the brave seventh-level warrior of the Heavy Wall Legion]

[The Skeleton of the Sixth-Level Demon Geert Agulal of Howling Sorrow]

…

The original owners of the two skeletons did not even reach the legendary level.

They are a seventh-level warrior from the Human Race's Heavy Wall Corps, and a sixth-level demon.

Regardless of the one-level difference between the two sides, taking into account ethnic talents, the actual combat performance is about the same.

That's why we all die together.

Shaking his head, the equipment on them was all rotten.

The standard seventh-level plate armor cannot survive the long erosion of time even if it is damaged.

However, Zong Shen still discovered something.

He found two rings that were still intact on the bones of the seventh-level warrior Hughie Ferguson.

One of them is a storage ring, and the other is an orichalcum ring without any magical effects.

After taking off the ring, Zong Shen saw a name engraved on the inner ring.

"Olyona Lyle..."

he muttered.

This is a woman's name.

I took advantage of the situation and glanced at it with the strategy module.

The information that appears is:

[Hughie Ferguson’s Engagement Ring (Mission)]

…

"Huh?"

"This also has a mission-related item."

Zong Shen was amazed that many ancient tasks always appeared inadvertently.

But speaking of it, it seems that this is not the first time he has obtained similar mission items.

Either a token of love, an engagement ring, or a music box of affection.

It seems that all the soldiers back then were in love.

In fact, this is not surprising.

The main fighters are generally in the age of marriageable age.

And love is one of the more profound emotions among the intelligent races.

It is quite normal for it to eventually turn into an obsession or a task.

After relaxing his thoughts for a moment, Zong Shen looked at the bronze ring again, and more details of the mission immediately appeared.

[Hughie Ferguson’s Engagement Ring (Mission)]

[Mission: The Unreachable Wedding (Take the engagement ring and go to the church ruins in Ryan Town to unlock the mission guide for the next stage)]

[Stage mission reward: Passive effect [Unswerving] × 1, Ryan Town Cellar Treasure House opening key × 1]

[This task has no deadline yet]

(Unfortunately, you have witnessed another fruitless love

But in the era of war, this kind of thing was rare and common.

Hundreds of millions of young soldiers join the expedition against demons

Their loved ones either grow old in the ruins or die in the aftermath of the war.

The original site of Ruian Town is more than 20,000 kilometers away from here.

It is a large town under the jurisdiction of the five major human kingdoms in the last era.

Now it has been destroyed in the long river of history. This is a series of tasks. The final reward is related to the Heavy Wall Legion. If you are on the way, this guide recommends that you can complete it by the way.

It can be regarded as fulfilling the last wish of this determined warrior)

…

"Um?"

"It's still a series of tasks."

"This is interesting."

Zong Shen narrowed his eyes and took the ring away with his backhand.

This mission involves a certain legion of the human race in the last era.

Speaking of which, Zong Shen still had some understanding of the human race of the previous era.

Including Hearthstone Passage and Stormwind City.

Speaking of which, he was still very interested in the Hearthstone Passage.

After all, it is a truly stable ultra-long-distance transmission channel.

Moreover, Zong Shen also knew very well in his heart that the human race of the previous era was different from the five major human kingdoms of this era. Although the main subjects were all human beings, their styles and characteristics were completely different.

If we can excavate the relevant ruins, we will definitely gain a lot.

Zong Shen deeply agreed with this.

After putting away the engagement ring, Zong Shen turned his attention to another storage ring.

Staring slightly, golden subtitles appeared.

[Storage Ring (Purple)]

[Quality: rare grade]

[Effect: Charm +6, Strength +6]

[Skill: Intermediate storage space (a built-in three-dimensional storage space of 12 meters × 8 meters × 5 meters) cannot store living objects. It can be opened or closed at any time in non-magic-forbidden areas. The temporary nodes in the space are fatigued and can be opened five times in total. After 10,000 times, there will be a possibility of node failure)]

[(Opening for the first time requires continuous immersion with thoughts for ten seconds)]

(A common storage ring in the last era, made of void stone

The ancient human race at that time had quite a lot of experience in making space storage props. In addition, the population was small, so space storage jewelry was more common at that time.

The storage ring contains Hughie Ferguson's belongings)

…

Zong Shen held it in his hand, tried to communicate with the ring with his mind, and soon felt its presence.

After ten seconds of continuous communication, the spiritual imprint left by Hughie Ferguson on the ring completely dissipated and became ownerless.

His mind also smoothly sank into the storage space.

This storage space is not small, at least it is much larger than the storage space that comes with Howie's [Hiking Merchant's Emblem (Purple)].

There are all kinds of food that have already gone bad and rotten.

There is also a set of sixth-level spare armor and weapons.

Finally, there are all kinds of random personal belongings, including potions, a few rune stones and magic scrolls.

The rune stones and scrolls are not of high grade, but they still have some recycling value.

As for the potions in the bottles, they had long since dried up, leaving a black residue at the bottom of the bottles.

Zong Shen quickly scanned around and quickly found a diary with a thick leather cover.

After taking it out, he flipped through it and discovered that he knew Hughie Ferguson's personal journey.

The ancient human writings described above were translated by the strategy module into a language that Zong Shen could understand.

[Sunny on December 7, 5348]

[It is a warm and nice weather again, and the atmosphere in the town is a bit tense. The evil war has already begun, and many cities in the alliance have fallen. As the legion's detachment stationed in Ryan Town, the period of stationing in Ryan Town has been completed for two years. In fact, we Be ready to step onto the battlefield at any time.

The only thing that makes me reluctant is Olona's love. Originally we were going to get married in the spring, but unfortunately, I'm afraid the wedding will be postponed. 】

…

【Light rain on December 15, 5348】

[It is rare to see such cold weather in Ruian Town. Dark clouds have lingered in the sky for two days and have not dispersed. As a city in the east of the mainland, the winter here is usually very warm. The captain said that the demons performed evil rituals to interfere. The weather.

The giant city of Azshara of the elves has completely fallen. These days, even Ryan Town has received several batches of elven civilians carried by giant oak spirits and mountain giants. The food in the town is somewhat stretched, so we took out some garrison food reserves to assist the refugees.

Olena joined the team that rescued refugees. She had learned the Sacred Heart prayer and could perform a few practical tricks.

She is such a kind and good girl, and I am so lucky. 】

…

[Cloudy day on December 29, 5348]

[The harsh climate has existed since then, and Ryan Town has accepted fewer and fewer elven refugees. According to the information provided by the refugees, the giant city of Azshara has been completely destroyed, and tens of millions of civilians have died from the demons. in hand.

Stratholme City responded to the call to form a resistance coalition, and the nearest demon army was camping. However, Stratholme relied on the holy shield to withstand the first round of attacks, and even had the strength to fight back.

According to the garrison situation, our Heavy Wall Legion is the only one that has been transferred to the resistance coalition to support Azshara. As Stratholme's largest shield guard legion in the East, this battle is inevitable.

The transfer order hasn't been issued yet, but the captain said that we should gather in three days at the latest.

I want to fulfill my mission as a warrior of the Empire. This is the meaning of my years of training.

When the war was over, I applied for retirement and lived with Olena in Ryan Town. 】

…

【Sunny January 4, 5349】

[After a few days of delay, the transfer order finally came down. The food crisis in the town has not eased. The elven refugees who had been accepted before tried to use natural magic to promote crops, but they found that the soil had also changed.

The inexplicable large-scale pollution has affected the growth of vegetation. It is probably a trick of the devil. Fortunately, there are still many fat-headed fish to be caught in the nearby Ryan Lake. Coupled with the food collected from tourist merchants, the town can sustain a few more fish. Months should be no problem.

Tomorrow we will head to the assembly point and accept the unified command of the legion.

This is not the first time I have participated in actual combat. When I wiped out the rotten fishmen three years ago, I beheaded four fish heads. I will definitely be able to behead the devil this time.

After all, I can be a seventh-level warrior of the empire, which is a recognition of the results of my years of training.

Tonight I will see Olena for the last time, and it turns out that my love for her comes second to my loyalty to the empire.

Because those demons are destroying my home wantonly...

Good luck, good luck. 】

…

What follows is a hiatus from blockbusters, and it seems that Hughie Ferguson can't find time to write in his diary.

It wasn't until about a month later that a new diary appeared.

【Heavy rain on February 11, 5349】

[The situation is getting worse and worse. The dwarves of Ironforge and the philistine goblins are fighting over a batch of copper ingots. We have all put on the latest equipment.

I had a fight with demons a few days ago, and Captain Thoros died. The terror of those demons is beyond imagination. The weird green fire can easily penetrate our armor and shields, and all kinds of weird methods are even more difficult to guard against.

Their offensive has somewhat subsided in the past few days. According to the scout reports, those damn demons are building something. The gray-white mist has enveloped everything, and the inexplicable pollution is still spreading. Last night, I even heard the wails of the undead. This is not a good sign.

People from the Shadow Poison Assassin League have provided us with information that a group of secret weapons developed by demons will arrive in the near future. It is said that the weapon can easily destroy any line of defense.

But it doesn't matter, the soldiers of the Heavy Wall Legion can block everything. 】

…

[Sunny on February 28, 5349]

[The situation is very chaotic. Ever since the group of guys who call themselves the Scourge joined, everything has become messy, not only for us, but also for the disgusting demons.

The gray-white mist dissipated, revealing a ghostly place called the Bone Burial Ground.

It is said that there is the demon's command bunker down there, and the souls of countless dead warriors and Azshara civilians are buried with it...]
