V5.Chapter 43

Time is fast approaching August.

The terraced fields of the second phase of Modo City are about to be reclaimed. After the golem factory has prepared a batch of substances, five clay golems and one stone golem have been produced. These golems have been put into construction as labor, and they can easily carry heavy materials, which is more than several times more efficient than manpower. The fallen witch and Gloria are currently engaged in intense research work. Sauron has left a space beacon on the third floor of the bottomless abyss. They plan to join forces to build a portal that leads directly to the bottomless abyss during this time.

The order from the Northern Territory Council has grown again.

Modo City didn't know what to do, and so far it has ordered three batches of heavy two-handed weapons.

………………

this day.

With the arrival of autumn and summer, heavy rains fell everywhere, and it seemed that a flood occurred in the central part of the continent. The lizardmen expanded their territory again along the torrent, and many submerged areas were occupied by them. However, the south is relatively calm, except for the occasional trace of the fallen, that is, someone saw the legendary lich some time ago.

Liches rarely walk the world.

As the top undead life they have endless years to splurge, the lich's favorite thing is to stay in his graveyard lair for research.

but!

It seems that a lich appeared in the south recently, which attracted the attention of the paladins.

To the south of the Windspear Hills is a dense forest. This is the territory of the Isabella family, and it is a place for the noble children to hunt and entertain when they are bored.

The heavy rain has just stopped.

There was a group of people advancing along the road. They were well-equipped with sturdy faces, and even their followers were equipped with weapons such as military crossbows. At a glance, it could be judged that they were private soldiers of the nobles.

"Lord Baron."

A middle-aged man dressed as a knight came to the center of the team on horseback, and said solemnly: "After passing the mountain in front, we will reach our territory. Recently, a group of snake-man bandits have appeared in the Windspear Hills."

"Let's not rest here any longer."

Soon, a reply came from the team, and a young nobleman with a bit of weariness said: "Sir Slark can do it as he pleases."

The middle-aged knight leaned over and nodded slightly, but his expression contained a hint of disdain.

It's only two days away. It has already exhausted him like this. Compared to the old baron who killed the ogre with his bare hands, the new lord is really bad. The fancy swordsmanship is entirely to attract those ladies. As a knight, he has almost never seen the baron do the most basic toiling.

The team moved on.

These guards are veterans who have gone to war. Even if it is a one-on-one encounter with an adventurer, it will not lose the slightest.

Ser Slack was not very worried about bandits daring to attack them, but out of a habit of being cautious, he still sent out his cronies to investigate the situation ahead.

But.

More than ten minutes passed, and still no one came back.

Ser Slark felt a little bad in his heart, and could not help but quietly put his hand on the hilt of the sword. Then he drove his horse towards the front of the team.

The surroundings seemed very quiet.

Suddenly, a little cold light shot out from the woods on the side, and then a scream was heard, and a guard fell down with his throat covered.

"Be careful!"

"There are archers in ambush here!"

There was a burst of exclamations, and then people fell to the ground one after another. From the dense forest, black shadows rushed out. They held various weapons, but the most striking thing was their skin. , these people have silver scales on their skin. Wearing a variety of armor, they surrounded the team from both sides.

"Snake Man!"

"Damn it! It's a snake robber!"

The team was a little flustered, but quickly assembled under the order of Sir Slack, and the formation guards were in the center of the team.

Recently, there have been many traces of snake people in the south.

Especially in the area of ​​the Windspear Hills, many caravans were attacked by snake men. Many nobles knew that there was a group of snake men robbers, and even Baron Naros died at the hands of snake men. It is precisely because of this that their group has brought so many guards, but after seeing the number of enemies, Ser Slark still gasped. Heart can not help but cast a shadow.

The number of this group of snake-man bandits has grown again.

In addition to the snake people, there were many other human robbers who attacked them, at least twice as many as them.

"poisonous!"

A guard's face turned black and seemed to be shaky, and said in a trembling voice: "The enemy's weapons are poisoned! ... Be careful! ..."

A round of shooting hits.

Ser Slack rolled over and dismounted. He picked up a shield and blocked it in front of him, and the guards around him also raised their shields, and some with crossbows were shooting at each other.

People kept falling to the ground.

The robbers in front of them rushed over in a swarm, and the losses on both sides were not small. Ser Slark carefully watched the snake people in front of him. Most of the human robbers were weak, and it was these snake people who were really dangerous. If the leader of the enemy can be killed, perhaps the gang of robbers will be self-defeating.

found it!

Ser Slark soon discovered the serpent leader who was commanding the battle.

He roared angrily, and suddenly raised his shield to his chest, smashing the crowd in front of him, and then launched a charge and slashed at the leader of the snake man with his sword.

As a high-level knight, he has the courage and strength to take on the enemy leader in melee.

A dark light flashed across!

Ser Slark's figure suddenly froze in place, two figures suddenly appeared in his sight, and then a dagger pierced his throat.

wanderer.

Two high-ranking rogues.

In addition to this gang of robbers, there are more dangerous enemies hidden.

Darkness comes.

The figure of Sir Slack slowly fell to the ground. Before he died, he seemed to hear the baron's begging for mercy, and the voice seemed to be a bitch.

………………

The snake man bandit appeared again.

The news seemed to take wings and quickly spread around the neighborhood.

It's just that it was not the merchants who were attacked this time, but the rulers of the Windspear Territory, the nobles of the Isabella family. The cause of the incident seems to be that the lord here surrounded and suppressed a snake-man bandit, and also nailed one of the leaders to the cross, in order to deter those lawless bandit gangs. But it never occurred to me that the snake-man bandits would take revenge on the ruler of the Windspear Hills and kill several nobles directly.

A web of conspiracy has begun to close.

After the first step of the plan is completed, the next step is Adele - Isabella's stage. Sauron's shadow shrouded this land, and he didn't know whether it brought people a terrible disaster or the prosperity and hope of the second Modo city.

But there is no doubt about that.

Any good beginning is full of blood and killing, as if only by embracing war can we usher in peace!
