Chapter 554: Peak Period Of Beast Tide
"This season is a period when beast tides occur frequently. Many migrating monsters will pass through the mountains, so the residents of the small town are avoiding setting foot there."
"Although some mercenary groups have been arranged to fight against it, because there are many monsters in the mine, even the elite mercenary group may not be able to annihilate them smoothly.
"Furthermore, five mercenary regiments have been dispatched this month, and all of them were wiped out. Only one surviving mercenary fled back to the town."
Rennes fell silent after listening.
The frequency of warcraft launching beast tides is indeed very high, and a huge number of warcraft emerge every time. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for ordinary mercenary groups to fight against them.
In history, there have been many cases of cities being destroyed due to beast tides.
Rennes once read in an account about a knight family called the Bullock family, who suffered a beast tide disaster.
After that battle, the Bullock family was completely reduced. Almost all the family members were killed or injured, and only a few people were left in the end.
This incident left a deep impression on Rennes.
"It seems that this task is a bit difficult."
No matter what, now that he has chosen this path, Rennes will never back down, no matter how dangerous it is, he will continue on firmly. "However, my luck has always been very good. Maybe I can really find the alchemist."
He returned to the mercenary group and immediately discussed the matter with Kaito and Xina.
Xina agreed, but Kaito objected.
"No, it's too risky." Keto refused Rennes' request.
"I think we can give it a try." Zina suggested, "There was another beast wave in the town this month, but because it was small in scale, the mayor did not dispatch a mercenary group to encircle and suppress it."
"This tide of beasts has still affected the lives of many surrounding farmers. If we deal with the tide of beasts and search for traces of the alchemists, it will be a good deal no matter how we calculate it!
Rennes smiled and said: "Yes, we only need to pay some potion materials, gold coins and food to help the townspeople survive a difficult time."
"Moreover, we can also explore the Northwest Mountains by the way, which will be more convenient for us to enter the Northwest Mountains for hunting in the future."
"We can consider it." Kaito hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "But we have to prepare everything first."
The next day, Rennes led the members of the Demon God Mercenary Group to the northwest mountains.
A group of people wearing armors and holding weapons marched toward the mountains.
The northwest mountain range is to the north of the town and not far from the town. However, because there are powerful monsters in the mountains, the mercenary group in the town usually only dispatches a small number of mercenary groups to patrol near the foot of the mountain.
The group of people kept walking towards the interior of the mountains.
After walking for half a day, they gradually felt tired and began to slow down, and finally stopped in front of a rock wall to rest for a while.
"I just observed that due to the influence of the beast tide, the originally ecologically sound northwest mountain range has become a bit chaotic."
"There are a lot of demonized vegetation here, and even some demonized grasses, which are all aggressive. Once you provoke them, you will be in constant trouble."
"In addition, the wild wolves, black panthers and other magical beasts here seem to have become manic. Many magical beasts are rushing towards the center of the mountains like crazy, causing the density of magical beasts in the northwest mountains to increase greatly, and many magical beasts also carry magical cores. "
"I'm afraid that this morning, the number of monsters in this mountain range has doubled, and there is a trend of more and more.
Kaito narrated while drinking water.
The impact of the beast tide on the mountains is great.
Especially some ferocious monsters.
If there is no one to control it, the manpower in the town alone cannot drive these monsters out.
And once the Warcraft breaks through the blockade and causes the destruction of the town, this is a loss that no one can bear.
Therefore, when people in the small town face the crisis of Warcraft riots, they will always unite together to organize defense to resist these rioting Warcraft.
"However, based on the current situation, these beasts are only relatively low-level creatures and are not opponents of our Demon God Mercenary Group at all." Kaito said confidently.
"Well, I hope so." Rennes nodded without expressing any objection.
What Kaito said is indeed correct. If these monsters are high-level, I am afraid they will be killed before they can even reach the entrance of the mountain range.
As time goes by, they have entered the hinterland of the mountains.
There are lush jungles all around, blocking the view.
Moreover, this place had a faint smell of blood, and it was obvious that a fight had just occurred.
…Please give me flowers…
"This is a swamp." Kaito pointed forward and said, "The swamp here contains highly toxic substances. Except for a small number of birds and animals and small monsters that hunt in the swamp, no other life form will easily enter here. "
"Those Low Level monsters should be wandering on the edge of the swamp." Xina added.
These two people are both old men in the mercenary group and have rich experience, so Rennes is relieved to let them follow him without worrying.
"But the environment here is quite complicated." Rennes frowned and looked around.
The trees here are all towering trees, with many bushes and lush foliage. It is impossible to see the road ahead. If you are not careful, you may fall or even step into the swamp.
"There must be monsters in the mire in the swamp." Kaito said, "We need to be careful."
"I know, but what I want to know is not whether there are monsters in the swamp, but what we should do next."
"We are now in the hinterland of the mountains. There are many demonized vegetation around us, and there are also a large number of magical beasts hidden. We cannot go deeper."
"Let's go to the central area of the mountains. There are more monsters there, the quantity and quality of the magical vegetation will be relatively sparse, and it will be easier for us to obtain magic cores.
Keto came up with a plan.
However, his plan made Rennes shake his head and reject it.
He pointed to the mountain wall not far away and said: "The mountain wall there is very high. If we want to enter the Central Mountains from the foot of the mountain, we must climb to that mountain wall, but this will waste too much time."
“We can go around to the top of the mountain.
After Rennes thought carefully, he made another suggestion.
"Going around to the top of the mountain?" Kaito frowned, "But if we take a detour, we will not be able to avoid contact with the demonized beasts inside the demonized forest... With the strength of several hundred people in our Demonic Mercenary Group, I am afraid......"
Rennes waved his hand: "No, we don't need to go head-to-head with the demonized beast."
"You have forgotten that we are not an ordinary mercenary group, we are a demon army!"
"Although our main goal is to collect magic cores, we will occasionally encounter monster attacks. If we can use skills during battle, the efficiency will definitely be greatly improved.
