"Then what?" the desert elf continued to ask: "The injuries on your body are not like those caused by the bites and scratches of aquatic corpses."

Gede was stunned, as if he had not just recovered from the great terror that swept through Tuka City.

His voice was like a boat moving on the salt marsh: "My father and I used spears and flames to completely kill 8 and burn a living corpse - after we were busy for a long time, we came back to Daka

On the way - no one or goods suffered any damage. My father still wanted to go home early so that he could take his grandson to watch the beast fighting game in the Coliseum."

Then the strong forager actually sobbed in his voice: "It's the creeping monster, the salt water colloid monster, and the fish monster that commands them. My father, children, wife and most of the people near the salt factory were all attacked.

Their massacre. Only a few people escaped like me."

After Ged finished speaking, he began to cry loudly. Brachi patted the young man's shoulder and stood in the temporary fortification set up by the hired guards at the corner of the street, staring at the garrison mages and city guards in the distance with furrowed brows.

They set up a defensive position to compete with monsters for Tuka City.

Starting from yesterday afternoon, a large wave of monsters suddenly formed in the salt lake outside the city, rushing directly into Duka City. The area around the salt factory in the city was quickly conquered, except for a small number of people who escaped.

The salt factory was surrounded by high walls and protected by guards, or fled to other areas of the city, where most of the city's citizens were massacred.

"Master," the member of the envoy specifically responsible for recruiting mercenaries - he himself was a prestigious caravan guard in Nome before, so his words were simple but slightly vulgar: "The gang of brats we are looking for are going to purchase.

Something, they say, red-hot coals and ignited black oil are not as effective against the monsters crawling out of the lake as swords, bows and arrows."

Brachi nodded, "Tell them to send a few people and come back quickly." Judging from the tone of the caravan guard captain, it is estimated that he has agreed to the new subordinate's proposal, and just out of respect, he came to the branch to say so. Yes.

At this point, the desert elf had no objections, but vaguely reminded him not to let go of too many people. At this time, the city of Duka was already in chaos, and the threshold of the mercenary guild was already occupied by people who paid money to seek protection by force.

Once the merchants break through, it is inevitable that no one will want to pay a high price to "pry away" the guards previously hired by the mission to enrich their own manpower.

"Don't worry, Captain." The escort captain of the envoy replied, trying not to let his emotions affect his tone: "You don't know that the mercenary guild in this Duka City is really too formal -

—I took a quick look and knew that those guys were all good swordsmen, and they had all signed an agreement with the labor union. Mercenaries who betrayed their employers and lost their credibility could not get any business in Duka City.

"

While the two were talking, melodious singing came from the street outside from far to near. After hearing the familiar chant, Gede, who was slumped in the rafter hall of the Salt Industry Guild, suddenly felt inexplicable.

The spirit was lifted.

The young and strong forager grabbed the spear made by his father beside him, dusted off the salt crystals that had condensed on the clothes that had not been changed overnight, walked to the window on the second floor that had not been blocked, and jumped out. Several members of the envoys

The hired guards didn't seem surprised by this, so they didn't take action or speak to stop Gede's actions.

Out of responsibility for his work, the guard captain who caught a glimpse of this scene quickly shouted: "What's going on? Why didn't you stop that guy? It's just that he ran away to die. What if he is a spy of those monsters?"

Most of these hired warriors ignored the roar of the guard captain. They turned around and were busy with the preparations at hand, leaving only one mercenary who looked a bit old - the medical officer of the mercenary team and the chronicler of the chronicle.

The "professionals" in clerical and external communication explained to their employers, the mission's guard captain and the desert elf Brachi who was looking for fame:

"That young man is a forager, so he can naturally understand the labor chant that just came. It is a song that salt workers often sing when they are working. The workers who survived yesterday all spontaneously walked out today.

On the streets, prepare to cooperate with the mages and guards of Duka City to attack the monsters near the salt factory. They just want to take revenge, or search for family and friends who have only a slim hope of survival."

The words of the old mercenary made the desert elves nod, while the captain of the envoy guard who was born as a city citizen was in awe. Before they came to Duka with the delegation, they learned from some business people that the people of this city were brave and brave.

But I didn't expect it to reach this point.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. There are two main reasons for this: First, the environment in which this city is located is actually embarrassing. While three generations of the Emir family worked hard to build Salt Lake City, they also created a hard-working and brave people here.

Secondly, compared to other cities in Medici, Duka City, which thrives on the salt industry, is much richer. The income of salt-making workers can ensure that future generations have adequate nutritional intake. Take Gede as an example.

, there are actually not a few young and capable labor force in Duka City.

"Citizens of the city under my rule!" With the power of magic, the consul's voice resounded throughout the city: "I promise you in the name of the Emir family that I will not let go of any monster that has invaded Duka City.

Their sudden appearance yesterday really caught us off guard, but today we have consolidated our position and are preparing to launch a counterattack. The garrison mages are already ready, the city guards, and the volunteers provided by the mercenary guild are all ready, and we are ready to launch a counterattack.

The free salt workers are also sharpening their knives. We will seek justice from them, and we will take revenge on those monsters!"

As the emir read out the "message" to conquer the monsters, from the blocks near the salt factory, groups of military formations surrounded by gray-robed mages began to attack the area occupied by the monsters:

The creeping monsters lurking in the green areas of the neighborhood bear the brunt of the attack. The mages loudly announce the hiding location of the monsters, and soldiers with slings will immediately run out of the team. They will throw coal blocks soaked in black oil at their opponents.

, and their companions will then throw a few lighted torches. Some black-robed mages simply do nothing, and simply "send" a fireball to the gathered creeping monsters when they find them.

What is more difficult to deal with are some aquatic zombies that suddenly crawled out of the house. They are not that difficult to deal with - these mutant zombies are also afraid of fire - but when faced with what used to be their friends and family, they have now become...

No matter how hard-hearted a human being is, it will be difficult for him to attack a monster that looks like it will choose people to eat.

"There seems to be something wrong," Gerd murmured to himself as he was walking in the team. Suddenly, it seemed as if a basin of boiling water was poured into his head. The young forager couldn't help but anxiously shouted: "Yesterday's saline colloid

The monster is gone, everyone, be careful!"

Yesterday, those monsters that were different from living corpses and creeping monsters left a very deep impression on him - slashing with knives, stabbing with guns, and even burning seemed to be ineffective against saltwater colloid monsters. When enough of them gathered,
