Chapter 536 Oberstein

Herage glanced at the communication bead in his hand, put it into the space ring and said: "I understand.

He was going to set off right away to investigate the situation.

Kane reminded: "You have to be more careful when you are outside. The natives of this plane now regard us as life and death enemies."

Herage nodded and said, "Thanks for the reminder."

After he left Base 27, he still saw the familiar mountains in front of him.

Herague has performed many patrol missions here with Reis and David, and is very familiar with the terrain here.

He just glanced around and found that although the general terrain had not changed much, the trees were also about the same.

But there are still many differences, that is, there are many traces of battles all around.

There are obvious traces of spell bombing in many places. Just from these traces, Herage can imagine what kind of battles he has experienced before.

The most important thing is that these traces are very close to Base No. 27, which means that someone has attacked this place.

Those who can attack here are mostly elves and some powerful spellcasters.

Judging from these traces, these people must have strong strength to reach this place.

Herage remembered that when he left, this mountain range was full of monsters.

If you want to get here, you need to kill countless monsters first.

In addition to the large monsters and the wizards in the base, it is not easy to think of it.

However, judging from the result that most of the Norn Kingdom was occupied, the attacking elves and spellcasters obviously failed.

And it is very likely that it was a disastrous defeat that would lead to the subsequent wizards pushing overwhelmingly and directly taking over half of the Norn Kingdom.

The remaining half is not because I can't take it, but because I don't want to take it.

Herage thought about it and felt that it should be related to the things in the Strange Valley.

Parker led his people to directly steal the elves' hometown. Coupled with the defeat on the frontal battlefield, the elves and the spellcasters were in a desperate situation.

Herage walked in the direction in his memory while observing the surrounding environment.

There are some shadow altars scattered in the surrounding mountains, and the number of altars is much less than when Herage left.

Herage even saw some damaged shadow altars, and had no intention of sending anyone to continue repairing them.

There are very few monsters wandering around the mountains, and only one or two can be seen occasionally.

Before Herage left, this place was filled with countless monsters, and wizards were summoning monsters day and night.

Now it seems that the Shadow Altar is no longer important, at least not useful in this place.

Herage felt that perhaps because the expansion had stopped, there was no longer a need for monsters to attack the city or to consume the enemy's strength.

Moreover, there is no need for monsters to patrol and defend the area around Base 27. A large area is already under the control of the expedition team, and few people will attack this place.

However, patrols could still be seen along the way. Herage went through several identity checks before finally walking out of the mountains.

After Herage walked out of the mountains, he headed in the direction of Oberstein.

The image of that border city appeared in his mind, and Asuna's home was in the city.

After arriving outside Oberstein, Herage saw only ruins.

Herage stood on top of the ruins, unable to recognize Oberstein's original appearance at all.

Oberstein was almost razed to the ground and not a single building remains intact.

Based on his memory, Herage arrived at the location of Asuna's home.

But now there is only a piece of scorched earth and various charcoal. Herage rummaged through the ruins and only found a corner of a floral skirt.

Herage saw a butterfly flying from a distance and landing on the charred wood.

He turned and walked toward the northeast, which was the direction of the Strange Valley.

A two-headed wolf emerged from a pile of rubble, glanced at Herrag, sniffed, and then turned away.

Herage took out a map that Kane had given him before leaving.

In addition to the maps that the expedition team has explored so far, it also marks the extent of the expedition team's influence so far.

From the map, the Norn Kingdom is cut open by a horizontal line running northwest and southeast.

Everything below the horizontal line is under the control of the expedition team, and above the horizontal line is still the territory of the Norn Kingdom.

Several locations are also marked on the horizontal line, where the Norn Kingdom's army is stationed.

These places are generally very important cities with excellent geographical locations.

Herage looked at the map and roughly planned his route.

He planned to go to an inconspicuous small city near the horizontal line first, then take a carriage and slowly pass through several cities, and then gradually approach the Strange Valley.

Herage went to the Strange Valley mainly to check out the current situation there and see if he could find any valuable clues.

Although it was said that the entire World Tree there had been removed, Herage still wanted to take a look.

After all, he has the blood of the Elf Royal Family, so he might be able to find something that the expedition team would not notice.

Herague looked around, and after seeing no one else in the dark blue environment detection, the magic aura surged in his body, and some fire element particles condensed around his body.

He planned to travel by elemental flight within the range controlled by the expedition team. This would be much faster and he would not have to worry about being discovered by the elves and spellcasters in the elven plane.

Herage flew through the air at high speed, and the scene below quickly receded.

When he flew higher, the scene below no longer retreated rapidly, but became clearer.

Herage discovered that there were castles dotted all over the land below.

These castles look newly built at first glance, and there are traces of wizards and monsters entering and exiting them.

Herage could see from the air that the distribution of these castles was very regular, with each castle controlling a surrounding area.

The fire element flies very fast and travels very efficiently. It only took Herage three days to reach the border area controlled by the expedition team.

After Herage arrived in this area, he landed on the ground, took out a bottle of Thousand Changer potion to change his appearance, and then took out a set of robes common in the elven plane and put them on.

After putting on a careful disguise, Herage continued to move forward.

Herage's target was a place called Cloud City, which was a little far away from the border and had no direct confrontation with the forces on the expedition team.

Therefore, the strength deployed by the Norn Kingdom there is weaker, and there should not be a strong presence guarding that place.

That's why Herrag picked that place. (End of chapter)
