Amber Sword-Chapter 790 - 129: Forest Front (First Update)

It was early morning.

But the forest was still shrouded in darkness and silence, with white mist creeping over the woodland, carrying a piercing chill, and the edges of the rows of spears reflecting the cold light of the bonfire, eerie and chilling.

The Druids formed a team to search the forest, their footsteps creating a rustling noise on the leaves that broke the dead silence.

Someone coughed on the front lines, the air filled with a choking scent of blood. When Brand arrived, the Druids had already organized a counterattack, reclaiming parts of the Rose Wall.

Standing on an open position between the forests, looking into the distance, the darkness revealed numerous Black Wolf corpses on the gray-yellow grass not far away.

These corpses would shrink within a day or two, transforming into pure Magic Crystals.

As for the bodies of the Druids, they had long been taken care of by their own kind. The Druid burial culture was quite primitive—or one could say a return to Nature—requiring only a slight treatment before being buried, returning to the origin.

The battle of the night was so fierce it defied description, but fortunately, the Black Wolf tide had bypassed the northern Vine Valley, seemingly intent on surrounding the Green Tower area first, leaving a central open space, allowing the Druids to avoid the opposition's sharp attack.

Yet, the Druids only recovered a small patch of woodland; the Monsters retreated from the open area into the darkness, seemingly nurturing a new round of offense.

However, it was not only Brand that had arrived here; in fact, various forces within the Green Tower had gathered at this moment, including the Cruz Empire, Bujia's Wizards, the Flame Temple, and even some adventure groups.

Brand initially thought most people would leave the area when the tide arrived, but he clearly miscalculated. The changes occurring within the Trade Wind Ring, and the allure of the Divine Artifact seemed to outweigh the threat of the Wolf tide.

But it's good, at least it can relieve his pressure; the only trouble is that there might be a fight before entering Valhalla. He was most worried not about the Cruz Empire, but about Bujia's Wizards.

Luckily, it seemed Bujia's Wizards were also not very aware of the changes within the Trade Wind Ring, which was his greatest reliance.

Brand looked at the distant darkness, understanding that the Sun would no longer rise, facing seven long nights, with the Green Tower about to confront almost endless Monsters.

Historically, there were once three thousand players here, and now only he remained. Whether he could alone restore history, that remains uncertain.

Qian and Antitina sat beside him, while Brand leaned against a white poplar tree, listening to Antitina's report on the movements of other forces within the Green Tower over the previous night, and at the same time opening the attribute panel, making final preparations.

The onset of this Wolf Calamity in the Sword Year was limited to the Black Forest, yet as the first large-scale storyline within the world of Amber Sword, its difficulty was beyond imagination.

Therefore, he had to make thorough plans: the first step was to enhance his power. As a veteran player, Brand was well aware—no environmental factor is more reliable than one's own Strength.

He first opened his attribute panel.

However, the experience from a month of adventure didn't increase much; the only time he gained considerable experience was during the mid-month battle in the Sleeping Moon against the Five-headed Lizard, and since then, his experience lingered around 57,000, still a short distance from the Mercenary upgrade.

Moreover, a Level 1 increase in character level doesn't significantly affect Strength; hence Brand didn't stay long on this page. The green light in his pupils changed, and then the light web slightly paused—

Travel Mage System.

Brand flipped through the pages, soon finding the resource section. Almost three months after returning from the Shafren Mine, during which he paid a hundred wealth to unlock the Silver Swallowtail Flag, and under its blessing, Brand had accumulated quite a fortune.

Then he looked down, seeing the number of resources he possessed.

Wealth: 2220

Reputation: 330

Brand saved so much wealth purely to unlock Delar's Free Port requiring 2500 wealth; Delar's Free Port could generate 20 wealth every day, and when horizontal, it might acquire gemstones and reputation, being the most essential card to sustain the Platinum Angel.

But now, he had to interrupt this plan and reconsider.

Brand opened the Sealed Card Album, then he pinpointed each card required. First were three Bloodline Cards: Vampire Baron, Blood Throne Vampire, and Dark Night Lord.
