MTL - Lord Highlander-Chapter 1528 1515. Situation
Chapter 1528 1515. Situation
In the central part of the Moyunling Highlands, the vast wilderness is covered with low shrubs and some seabuckthorn grasses, making this land appear in a color of light yellow and dark red.
The situation near the North Mountain Pass is not bad. In the central part of the Moyunling Highlands, you will find the corpses of evil spirits everywhere in the wilderness. Almost all of these evil spirits have been beheaded, and the bone armor on their bodies will also be dilapidated.
After the evil ghost dies, the flesh and blood in the body will rot quickly. Even the vultures in the sky don't like to eat this flesh and blood with a slight poison.
The dead ghosts left only some hard bone armor on the high ground, but most of them were broken and incomplete.
There are more than 2,000 large and small adventure groups all over the Moyunling Highlands. These adventure groups are concentrated in the east-central area of the Moyunling Highlands. At the same time, there are countless evil spirit squads moving around here. The two identities of the prey and the prey are always interchanged between the adventure group and the ghost team.
Many adventurers have heard that lonely ghosts can be picked up everywhere on the Moyunling Highlands, and that a ghost warrior hunted can be sold for at least fifteen gold coins. They even passed the news back to Handanal City In the city, the adventure groups in the city ran to the Moyunling Highland to try their luck.
Now, even the children in the slums in Handanar City know that the evil spirits on the Moyunling Highlands are now half-starved to death, and they have been beaten by the lord's army helplessly.
Many adventure groups made a fortune there!
The climate here has a large temperature difference between day and night. It is obvious that people can shed a layer of skin under the scorching sun in the daytime. When a northerly wind blows into the tent at night, you will deeply feel the chill to the bone. .
Most of the vegetation on the high ground is full of thorns, low shrubs that are both drought-resistant and cold-resistant. Thinner leather boots step on the thorns, and even the soles of the boots will be pierced.
Only evil ghosts who wear bone armor all over their bodies are not afraid of the vegetation here.
Two blood-stained ghosts had just finished eating a human corpse that had been exposed to the sun for an unknown amount of time. In fact, that corpse had only a rotten breastbone with bones exposed, the arms and internal organs ripped out. It gave off a pungent stench, but it was still a rare delicacy for these two ghosts who had been hungry for a long time.
It’s just such a little food, it’s too little for the two ghosts who have been hungry for a long time.
Even if I didn’t eat, I still didn’t feel the body’s desire for flesh and blood, but this half of the corpse was swallowed into the stomach, and the two evil spirits felt even hungrier.
They scrambled to swallow the last piece of ribs, then poked their heads out of the bushes and looked around...
A sweet smell of blood came from the wind, and the eyes of two evil spirits glared greedily.
The two evil spirits groped towards the puddle outside the bushes in front of them, walked out of the bushes full of thorns, and there was a human warrior covered in blood lying in the puddle tens of meters away. It seemed that one of his legs was broken, and he almost crawled to the edge of the pool, leaving a long bloodstain on the rough killing ground, which looked like he had crawled from a long way away.
Seeing a single human warrior, another one with a broken leg, the two evil spirits immediately set their eyes on the injured human warrior.
The two evil spirits didn't even communicate, and rushed towards the pool at the fastest speed almost at the same time.
The evil ghost running in the front started to jump 20 meters away from the pool. Its two thick thighs seemed to be on springs, its body leaned forward, and even a trace of salivation flowed from its open mouth. .
Although the evil spirit behind seemed very eager, it was two steps behind the evil spirit in front.
It's just that the body of the evil ghost warrior rushing in front seemed to crash into a wave of water. When it was still in a daze, a huge magic pattern circle suddenly appeared at its feet. In the center of the formation, the head of an Earth Splitting Beast suddenly rushed out from the ground, its mouth full of sharp teeth aimed towards the lower body of the ghost warrior.
The ghost warrior in front of him seemed to jump into the mouth of a magical beast...
However, the lower body of the evil ghost warrior did not disappear, but was entangled by strips of electric magic, and was imprisoned in place for a while.
The ghost warrior behind saw that the situation was not good, so he turned around and ran away in fright.
On the open grass around the pool, more than 20 members of the adventure group popped up out of nowhere.
A great swordsman who was obviously the leader of this adventure group made a gesture of outflanking from both sides backwards, and the members of the adventure group began to surround the second ghost warrior.
Actually, if the ghost warriors run wildly on the high ground, only light cavalry can catch up.
But there were two archers in this group of adventurers, and they were ambushing next to the pool in advance. Seeing that the ghost warrior wanted to escape, the two archers had already prepared arrows in advance.
A bursting arrow hit the ghost warrior's left leg, and a burst of flames exploded immediately. The ghost warrior was almost blown out while running with all his strength.
The moment the evil ghost flew up, he still turned his head and gave the archer a fierce look.
This adventure group ambushed by the pool and made full preparations. Almost at the same time as the ghost warrior fell down, they were chased and hacked by two swordsmen who came up, and the companions holding spears behind them were ready to respond...
The strength and endurance of ghost warriors are far superior to human warriors, but the members of these adventure groups all have excellent equipment, and the enchanted long sword in their hands can easily cut off the bone spurs on ghost warriors.
Just drawing a cup of tea time, this evil ghost was cut off by two swordsmen, his legs were broken by a burst arrow, and finally his head was cut off by one of the members of the adventure group. Another swordsman stabbed in the heart.
The other ghost warrior who was trapped in place by a magic trap saw the warrior lying by the pool pretending to be dead and stood up with a sword and shield, his eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
Both legs were clearly intact, the shield warrior rushed up, held up the shield and slapped the evil ghost warrior on the face...
The two evil spirits were eliminated, and the operation of trapping evil spirits by the pool was successfully completed.
A member of the adventure group who is good at first aid began to bandage the wound of a member who was slightly injured in the battle, and a member of the adventure group who was good at skinning was squatting on the ground and peeling the black-striped demon's skin quickly.
The members of the adventure group in charge of security stood on a raised stone, and when they looked towards the east hillside, their eyes became a little dull...
A flag appeared on the hillside in the distance, and a constructed knight carrying the flag appeared on the hillside on a horse, and then a large number of constructed knights appeared beside him.
Just as the members of the adventure group were in a daze, a large group of red monsters emerged from behind the constructed knights.
They twisted into a torrent and galloped south along the hillside.
Some evil spirits hiding in the highland bushes probably also saw this Constructed Knights. They no longer cared about hiding their whereabouts, and immediately jumped up from the bushes and fled in the opposite direction at the fastest speed.
Bright banner, sophisticated equipment, followed by a red tide...
Seeing the scenes of these knights running wildly on the highlands, everyone felt a surge of emotion. The strong sense of security brought to the members of the adventure group by a powerful army galloping recklessly on the plateau always filled people's hearts with pride and joy. .
"Captain, it's the Knights of the West Route Army." The member of the adventure group in charge of security roared.
Other members of the adventure group also looked at the running army. The magician in the adventure group who was cleaning up the magic trap frowned and said:
"How did they suddenly appear here?"
The leader of the adventure group looked at the north meaningfully, and then said: "It seems that they just came back from the north, maybe we can go further north, maybe there will be unexpected gains..."
"Leader, you still have to go north!" Hearing this news, a member of the adventure group said with some concern.
"Go and have a look, I have a hunch that going this time can't be wrong..." said the leader of the adventure group.
…
Aphrodite felt that her life was messed up by this plane war. Seeing her daughter sleeping soundly in the nanny's arms, she really wanted to go back to the house she rented in Hailansa.
In the past year or so, she has been running back and forth between High Lansa City and the pustule mountain in the wasteland, and she can't remember how many times she ran.
Fortunately, the mountain road from Hailansa City to Wall Village has been widened twice, and it is much smoother than before. The magic caravan can also drive on it at will, and her magic caravan runs very smoothly. In addition to the sofa seats, there is actually a bed where you can lie down and rest. It is simply a small room that can be moved at will.
The road in Oak Ridge is winding, and it is difficult for the magic caravan to speed up.
The cement road from Wall Village to Bump Mountain is in better condition. The terrain here is flat, and usually only trucks transporting sulfur mines will take this road. The road surface is well maintained, but it is full of Volcanic ash, and the horse with the filter mask can't run fast.
The magic caravan drove Aphrodite all the way to the Paglos Pass, where a guard post had been built to keep an eye on the horse thieves and bandits circulating in the barren land.
But since Wall Village has become the largest free market near the Badlands, it seems that the bandits in the Badlands have disappeared all of a sudden.
No bandit would blindly run to the vicinity of Wall Village to commit crimes...
Aphrodite returned to Bump Mountain this time, and when she passed Wall Village, she went to the carpenter's workshop to customize a batch of street signs.
It was a round log with the thickness of an arm and a height of two meters, and a wooden board for writing was fixed on the top. The year, month, and day are convenient for users to fill in the time at will.
Suldak needs to nail these road signs to the vast eastern area of the Moyunling Highlands, so as to prevent the lords of Handanar City from entering the Moyunling Highlands and running around to enclose land in the eastern area.
They want to enter Moyun Ridge, and Suldak will not stop them, but if they want to enclose land on the high ground, they should go west...
Aphrodite came in a hurry, and left in a hurry, without even drinking a cup of tea.
Village Chief Brett stood in front of the dead tree beside the free market, watching the gorgeous magic caravan galloping towards Pustule Mountain.
Today's Wall Village is nearly ten times larger than it was six years ago. The annual net income of several workshops in the village is enough to support everyone in the village. His son Charlie and his nephew Luke are also working hard in Ruyt City. It is said that they have become the bosses of the largest construction firm there.
Village Chief Brett is not familiar with Aphrodite.
But Aphrodite lived in Wall Village for a period of time. She always ran to a certain ridge every day, sat for a whole day, and rarely contacted the villagers, but these few times when she came into contact with the old village chief, Especially when arranging orders for black powder and volcanic ash cement, the old village chief discovered that this girl who wore a black robe and liked to cover her face with a mask was actually not bad. trust…
In fact, he wanted to chat with her a little more, and find out about Dak's recent situation.
He took the lord army to a faraway plane to fight. Village Chief Bright wanted to know where they fought and how long it would take to come back...
Now seeing the magic caravan kick up a cloud of dust on the flat concrete road and gradually disappear into the pustule mountain where volcanic ash falls all the year round, I feel a little disappointed.
…
Aphrodite will not take care of the emotions of the old village head Brett at this time, she needs to reach Pustule Mountain as soon as possible.
In fact, she doesn't like the wilderness full of volcanic ash very much. Even though the windows of the magic caravan are equipped with gauze curtains, seeing the gloomy black clouds around her makes her feel unspeakably depressed.
She is a succubus who likes the sun, and she doesn't want to go back to the lava pool to warm up now.
Moreover, the nanny who was holding her daughter in the magic caravan was obviously frightened. The magic caravan ran so far in one breath, and the more it ran, the more remote it was.
In the nanny's perception, this place can no longer be regarded as Hailansa.
She sat across from Aphrodite, hugging the girl timidly. Although she was terrified in her heart, she wisely didn't show it. She even fed Vivienne twice in the middle and ate it herself. A little apple pie.
"There are some problems in the mine, and I need to deal with them myself. I don't feel at ease leaving Vivienne in Hailansa, so you may have to work hard these few days, but we won't stay here for long. It will return to Hailansa City in at most two days."
Aphrodite had no choice but to comfort the nanny to prevent her from completely breaking down.
The magic caravan was not too shaky when driving on the road, but the surrounding scenery began to become very monotonous, and the ground was covered with ashes as far as the eye could see.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and it was still morning, so it was difficult to see the scenery a hundred meters away.
The nanny didn't dare to question Aphrodite, so she could only nod slightly.
Seeing that the nanny's mood had calmed down a bit, Aphrodite ignored her and lay on the soft bed in the magic caravan, casually flipping through a magic book.
