The first thousand and sixty-eight chapters of the shock of the cursed swamp (1)
After careful comparison between the three of Siassi, they soon discovered that the records of the spring hunting adventures in the three hunting records last year were very detailed and clear. As the leader of that team, Nightingale, truthfully recorded all the details of the entire activity. It has been recorded that under her command, the entire hunting team traveled to multiple areas of the Cursed Swamp, and the harvest was huge while the team's own losses were minimal. There was not even a single seriously injured person, which perfectly showed that the person with the pseudonym " Nightingale’s Christina’s outstanding military talents,
Ryan remembered that not long after that, he transferred Nightingale to the Netherworld to integrate the army in the territory. Later, he assisted Allendo in annihilating the kobolds who robbed the caravan, and killed the kobolds who stole the property. Long Sinmin, as for after Nightingale was transferred, this aspect of Cassano was handed over to one of Adela's cousins. Naturally, Ryan had no idea about this trivial matter. He had learned from the records of autumn hunting and living in Cassano. It was only after Sano's Richie reminded me that he discovered this, which immediately gave Ryan a warning sign in his heart.
Sure enough, the following record of the autumn hunting adventure revealed an impatient mentality. Cousin Adela, who had finally gained real power, probably wanted to express himself and prove his strength too much, so he actually organized a historic hunting expedition. The largest hunting team since then, not only Cassano's own army needs to be trained, but also several large chambers of commerce from the human continent, and many mercenary groups hired. Even if this adventure team of nearly a thousand people enters the north The endless frozen plateau seems to have too many people, not to mention the cursed swamp, which is just one area and is not particularly large.
Relying on the advantage of numbers, Adela's cousin did make an astonishing harvest later. However, compared with the personal losses he paid during this trip, as well as the expenses paid to the mercenary chamber of commerce and the mercenary group, he was somewhat unable to make ends meet. So Adela's cousin didn't know whose advice he listened to. He ignored the persuasion of the accompanying mage, forcibly opened the defensive magic circle set up by Ryan at the entrance to the ruins of the Apocalypse Temple, and led the team deep into the terrifying place. In the ruins of the underground palace, he actually found another warehouse full of supplies.
After returning to Cassano with a full load, cousin Adela naturally wanted to count his three points as ten points. Then he asked himself that with his rich experience, he would have more hunting adventures that should have been twice a year. That time in winter, in order to maximize his own interests, Adela's cousin used all Cassano's own people. As a result, this adventure full of expectations encountered a terrible nightmare, the legendary human-faced spider. Queen, the legendary violent giant lizard... The cursed swamp tore off the gentle and mysterious veil in an instant, opened its bloody mouth and swallowed almost a third of the adventure team members, eventually forcing Vivian to temporarily stop talking about this area. all activities,
These records are almost passed by in a few strokes, but Ryan and the others do not need detailed records. Just looking at the area visited by the entire hunting team is enough to roughly guess the situation at that time. In fact, when Ryan came from Rich After hearing the description of the "Temple of Apocalypse" in less than thirty words, I had already confirmed in my heart that the sudden change in the Cursed Swamp today must be related to Adela's cousin's adventure in the ruins of the Temple of Apocalypse. If a magician who is proficient in magic or a devout holy priest leads the team, there will not be much danger even if they go deep into it. Their strength is enough to predict and avoid danger in advance.
But under the instigation of a group of businessmen who are willing to do anything for immediate profits, and under the leadership of cousin Adela who is willing to disregard the life and death of his subordinates for the sake of superiority but knows nothing and cannot listen to persuasion, Ryan believes in these damn bastards. They absolutely have the guts to directly sell the most beloved maid of the spider goddess Rose as a slave. They will not consider it at all, and it is impossible to see the consequences of doing so. Just like what happened in the cursed swamp, in the end If those powerful monsters broke out and besieged Cassano's new Iron Fist Castle in search of food, Adela's cousin would immediately beg Vivian to hide in the floating city. As for the innocent Cassano The people can only resign themselves to fate.
Thinking of the time when he, Faras, Allen and the others worked hard to kill the Hydra, and then entered the ruins of the Temple of Apocalypse together, a priest in his fifties wearing silver-white clothes immediately appeared in front of Ryan's eyes. The image of an old man in a robe. The former high priest of the Apocalypse Temple became a dark priest under the dark ritual of the undead army. He wandered lonely and painfully in the prayer room of the ruins of the Apocalypse Temple for two hundred years, but in the end he was in the hands of Ryan. After being freed, Ryan's ears seemed to hear the words spoken by the high priest's soul before it was annihilated: "That seal, unless absolutely necessary, do not touch it, remember, remember."
"I warned you not to enter the lake in the center of the Cursed Swamp and the ruins of the Apocalypse Temple, but these bastards turned a deaf ear to my words." Ryan was slightly angry in his heart. Fortunately, he returned to Cassano. If he was still in another world, If you continue to stay for a few more years, I am afraid that this beautiful city will be threatened by the beast tide erupting from the cursed swamp. Facing powerful enemies from other worlds, encountering the embarrassment of a fire in the backyard will definitely greatly affect Ryan's life. Energy, and all of this was caused by a few people who were messing around for so-called achievements. But in the final analysis, it was the dereliction of duty of Lord Vivian, which gave Ryan the idea of replacing Lord Cassano.
Of course, these things will be done in the future, and the specific pros and cons must be weighed repeatedly. The top priority for Ryan and his team is to solve the sudden changes caused by the Cursed Swamp. According to the existing known intelligence analysis, Ryan has reason to doubt the Temple of Apocalypse. The seal under the ruins has leaked to some extent, and those human-faced spider queens and violent monitor lizards were affected by the aura of the unknown powerful creature, which led to such amazing changes. This point has been changed by Ryan. It was verified from the ancient black dragon sleeping in the deepest part of the misty cave,
Regarding the secret of the sealed powerful creature in the lower level of the Temple of Apocalypse, only two or three people in Cassano knew about it. Ryan obtained a lot of mithril materials from there at that time, and later organized people to enter it several times to remove several of the things Emma pointed out. All the supplies in the warehouse were emptied, but since then, Ryan has weighed the pros and cons and felt that ordinary warriors have no way to deal with the wandering undead. If there are not a large number of magicians and priests accompanying them, the purpose of training the team will not be achieved at all. Frequently entering and exiting the ruins of the Temple of Apocalypse could easily leak the secrets there and cause unnecessary panic, so Ryan re-strengthened the defensive magic circle at the entrance of the entire temple and warned his subordinates of Cassano not to come closer. In this area, the hunting adventure teams in the following years only moved in other areas of the Cursed Swamp, until Adela's cousin took over Nightingale's duties,
"Let's pack up those violent giant lizards first, and then go to the ruins of the Temple of Apocalypse." Ryan gave the order in two simple sentences, and then Siassi and the others packed up everything and took the time to rest in order to prepare for the battle. After adjusting his body and will to the best state, about thirty minutes later, Ryan and his party, led by Siassi, headed towards the habitat area of the group of violent monitor lizards. Although Ryan was worried about the Apocalypse Temple, these The emotions did not affect the current trial of his three students. Ryan still followed Siassi and the others from a distance with an unimpressed attitude, silently watching the four-person team including Emma. Decide on the combat plan and implement it on your own,
Because it is dark night, most of the violent monitor lizards have entered a state of sleep, but at the edge of their habitat, there are a few monitor lizards that are roughly at the ordinary advanced level wandering back and forth. These " The existence of "Sentinels" makes it difficult for Siassi and the others to launch an annihilating sneak attack. Even if they can kill half of the number of violent monitor lizards at once, given the strength gap between the two sides, once these terrifying creatures are still against Siassi and the others. If an opponent who has not entered the legendary realm launches a counterattack, Siassi and the others will suffer a heavy price for this. This mutually beneficial fighting method is obviously unacceptable to Siassi and others, so after some thought Finally, Siassi came up with a more alternative method,
The reason why violent monitor lizards are so named is because they have thick skin and strong defense. Once attacked, they will enter a crazy fighting state. Blood and food are the only resources for violent monitor lizards in this state. Pursuit, this is very similar to the berserker warriors of the orcs. Any person or creature will feel quite troubled when encountering this group of enemies who are not afraid of life and death and attack crazily. This special effect is not only the advantage of the berserk lizard, but it also includes If you know its weaknesses and take advantage of them, you might be able to create a beautiful leapfrog challenge.
After some arrangements, Siassi and others entered the pre-set positions. Siassi, who was responsible for luring the enemy, was the first to make the move, slaughtering several monsters that they had jointly captured, and letting their blood flow freely. Flowing in the surrounding muddy swamp, under the reflection of the sky full of stars, the smell of blood in the air spread to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed. In less than twenty minutes, the group of sleeping violent monitor lizards There were waves of commotion, and almost all the violent monitor lizards were awakened by this smell. The bloodthirsty desire from biological instinct filled the brains of every violent monitor lizard, driving them towards the source of the bloody smell. moving forward in the direction,
