Chapter 787, Palace in the Valley
The sky was dim and the air was filled with the smell of blood.
The four of them, Fang Hao, were sitting next to the carriage. The elf master 'Yugenel' and a dozen personal guards, as well as the middle-aged caravan manager, were also sitting aside to rest.
A bonfire was lit in front of them, and several people tied up each other's wounds.
For the cold bodies already lying on the ground, these people were lucky.
At least people are still alive.
Of course, it was impossible for all the hundreds of people to die in the battle, and some escaped during the melee.
They are all hired mercenaries. It's okay to have an advantage. Once they find themselves at a disadvantage, the team will disperse like scattered sand.
Each mercenary only has a few dollars. Who would fight for this money?
"How did you do it? So many people in the same team rebelled." An Jia suddenly asked.
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere became much gloomier.
If so many people in a team rebel at the same time, the manager will have a big problem.
"Don't talk nonsense." Fang Hao touched her with his arm.
At this time, the young elf said: "I have lost a lot of people before. Those were all transferred recently. Now that I think about it, the enemy must have made arrangements for it."
Of course, analyzing these after the fact is of no use.
The elf forced out another smile and said, "Anyway, thank you guys. I didn't expect you guys to be so awesome."
"You're welcome, we have few manpower, so we can only help you." Fang Hao continued.
"By the way, are you guys going somewhere? If you need help, just ask." The elf said again.
The fact that several people have such strong strength further proves that it is impossible for them to become mercenary guards.
Still has its own purpose.
Fang Hao thought for a while and said: "Actually, this is our first time here. According to the route, we are going to 'Rutherland City'. The people in the tavern said that it would be more convenient to follow the caravan, so we joined the Morning Light Caravan and went together. Go."
Russelan City is the city closest to the Ratchet Forest.
The elves also accepted this statement.
Because I suspected that there was something wrong with these four people at first, I observed several people along the way.
These four people don't look like mercenary guards at all, but more like they are here to enjoy the mountains and rivers. The little girl with animal ears jumped out of the carriage yesterday to chase the beast.
I also saw her coming back carrying a wild boar, which was roasted by several people over a fire.
Now after being explained by several people, everything makes sense.
I just came here to relax and have fun. Because I didn’t know the road, I followed the caravan all the way.
The young elf said: "There is no problem with this matter at all. Let's go to 'Rutherland' together, and I will arrange these things then."
"Okay, thank you very much."
Now that it's like this, it's actually very difficult to continue escorting.
People were dying, many were running away, and all the horses were gone. It was impossible to pull so much cargo with human power.
Finally, several elves discussed it.
It was decided to leave some people behind and go to a nearby city to find someone to handle the goods.
The young elves will follow Fang Hao and others directly to "Rutherland City".
Firstly, Fang Hao and others were in a hurry, and secondly, the young elf felt that it was not safe on the road and needed Fang Hao and others to protect him.
If Fang Hao and the others leave, he will still be in danger on the road.
After discussing it, they hurried directly to ‘Rutherland’.
…
Feileng Port is considered prosperous, but as you go southeast, you can see less and less prosperity. The elven villages along the way are not as lively as the port area.
After chatting with the young elf, I learned that there are no special industries to the east. If you go all the way to the west, it will be more prosperous.
Finally, after three days, we finally arrived at ‘Rutherland’.
"Guys, this is the voucher from the Chenguang Chamber of Commerce. As long as you hold this, no one will make it difficult for you when entering or leaving the city." The young elf handed over another voucher and handed it to Fang Hao.
Fang Hao accepted it with a smile, "Okay, thank you."
"I should be the one saying thank you. Without you, I'm afraid I'd be dead." The young elf continued.
They use each other, but the ending is good.
"Well, let's leave first and see you again when we have the chance." Fang Hao said.
"If you need anything, you can go to the Chamber of Commerce and see me. My name is 'Yugenel'."
"good."
After saying goodbye to the elf, Fang Hao did not go looking for a hotel.
Instead, he reconfirmed the map and drove the carriage directly to the Ratchet Forest.
…
Russelan, the city lord's mansion.
"Whoever it is, leave immediately."
In front of the city lord's mansion, the silver-armored guards scolded in a low voice.
Yugenel raised his head and glanced at him, took out a token from his arms and said, "I am 'Yugenel'. You can call me young master, or you can call me city lord."
The guard frowned, took the silver hollow token in his hand, and examined it carefully.
To be honest, he didn't know much about this kind of token.
But the hollowed-out emblem on the token and the confidence of the other party when speaking made him a little uncertain, "Wait a moment, I will go and report it."
Eugenel did not answer.
The guards left quickly, and soon several elves walked out quickly.
One of the middle-aged men walked in front holding the token. The moment he saw 'Yugenel', he immediately showed a look of joy.
"Master... God bless you, you are finally back." The middle-aged man said enthusiastically.
Yugenel nodded, strode towards the city lord's palace, and said casually: "It's not your gods who protect me, but a few outsiders."
Several people followed 'Yugenel' and walked towards the city lord's palace together.
Yugenel continued to ask: "How did my father and brother die? Is the investigation clear? I was assassinated when I came back. Is it related to my father's death?"
Hearing this sentence, everyone's expressions changed.
The young master came back and was assassinated too?
Entering the hall, the middle-aged man dismissed the rest, then lowered his voice and said, "This matter may be related to the newly discovered mine."
"Mine?"
"Yes, a mithril mine was discovered deep in Ratchet Forest. After the mine was discovered, one accident after another happened one after another."
Yujenel's face instantly turned ugly.
Mithril Mine, which is a gold mountain, is also a bomb.
Jean Russelan's power is obviously the latter.
…
All the way east.
The carriage followed the map and reached the end of the road.
According to the location marked on the map, there is no road ahead.
It is a dense forest, and there is no way for a carriage to enter.
Released Lei Ling and checked the surroundings. It was deserted.
It gives the impression that the elves have not yet been developed here and are still a primitive area.
After checking the map again, the group of people walked towards the depths.
Demitga walked in the front, using his long sword to cut a path through the thorns.
Fang Hao and others followed behind, all the way through the dense forest, heading directly to the target point.
With the strength of their skin, although the thorns were sharp, they did not cause harm to them at all. It was more like being lightly scratched by something.
Moving forward quickly.
I also encountered the ferocious beasts that 'One Eye' mentioned, but they only followed them from a distance for a while, and then they all turned around and ran away.
The beast's senses are more sensitive, and he probably feels that these people are not easy to mess with.
From morning till dusk.
In front of the few people, a huge valley appeared.
The valley is bottomless.
A huge gray stone bridge connects the two ends of the valley.
On the other end of the stone bridge is a huge palace.
Fang Hao and others' eyes widened.
He looked at the palace in front of him in disbelief.
No one expected that there would be such a huge and majestic building in such a desolate place.
Some are too unexpected.
"This is the building."
…
Several people walked along the valley and came to one end of the stone bridge.
Before stepping onto the stone bridge, a loud alarm bell suddenly sounded in the huge city opposite.
The whole forest was boiling with roar, wild beasts fled, and birds flew up in large numbers.
Under the gaze of a few people, changes began to occur in the dilapidated city.
Within the towering city walls, groups of tall giants wearing gray-brown armor walked out.
Holding a huge stone hammer, he walked out step by step.
"Damn, why did this thing appear here?" Fang Hao cursed.
They have seen this kind of enemy before.
Guards of the Kingdom of God, a tenth-level unit.
But it was in the system's tasks at that time, how come it appears here now.
Seeing that more and more enemies in gray-brown armor were gathering, they had begun to step onto the stone bridge.
Fang Hao did not hesitate and released the realm gate directly, revealing the densely packed skeleton troops behind.
"All come out."
The skeleton warrior came out from under the gate, and a skull dragon flew out of his head.
With the sound of bones rubbing together, they rushed outside.
Soon, dense skeletons filled the dense forest, and at a glance, there were endless undead soldiers.
Dongdong!
The drums of the undead are beating, and all arms are ready.
"Prepare for thunder and lightning strikes."
Seeing that the enemy had reached the middle of the stone bridge, Fang Hao gave a loud order.
Hurrah!
The skeleton warriors in the front row simultaneously concentrated lightning strikes and pointed far ahead.
"put!"
Whoosh whoosh! !
The silver-white thunder spears were thrown towards the stone bridge in a fan shape.
In the crackling sound, a large number of enemies were blasted into pieces, and more people were squeezed off the stone bridge and fell into the bottomless bridge.
After the first group of divine guards fell, the second group did not flinch at all and continued to move forward.
Fang Hao continued to order, "Skeleton warriors raise their shields and guard the bridge. Skeleton shooters can fire freely."
The messenger passed on the order.
Skeleton warriors raised their shields to form an iron wall at the end of the bridge.
The skeleton shooters came from the back of the team to the front, standing in rows on the edge of the cliff.
Start shooting at the enemies above the stone bridge.
The bullets hit the enemy's body, sending out dense sparks.
Enemies kept losing their balance and falling under the bridge, and more people came out of the city and continued to join the battlefield.
Fang Hao felt that this kind of fighting was more comfortable.
It's like fighting dragons, flying all over the sky. You can't catch them or hit them, so it's very uncomfortable.
The skeleton shooter outputs smoothly, and orange bullets cross fire.
It is difficult for enemies to get close to them for a while.
Winter winter winter! !
Suddenly, the sound of a giant running was heard.
On the stone bridge, a huge rhinoceros wrapped in thick stone armor suddenly rushed out.
It was close to a giant lizard in size. It overturned the guards of the Kingdom of God on the bridge and rushed directly towards this side.
[Rock-armored Iron Rhinoceros (Level 10)].
With a few bangs, the skeleton warrior in the shield formation was knocked away.
He rushed directly into the back of the queue and began to rampage, knocking away the piles of skeletons.
At the same time, ding ding ding, swords chopping stones followed closely.
The 'rock crawler' shaped like a scorpion with huge barbs also passed under the stone bridge and climbed up the cliff.
He also pounced on the skeleton shooter standing on the edge of the cliff.
