Chapter 43 Windspear Hills

Time is approaching August in a blink of an eye.

The terraces in the second phase of Modo City are about to be reclaimed. After a batch of material was allocated, the golem factory then created five clay golems and a stone golem. These golems are invested in construction as labor force. They can easily carry heavy materials, which is more than several times more efficient than manpower. The Fallen Witch and Goria are currently working on intense research work. Soren has left a space road mark on the third floor of the bottomless abyss. They are preparing to join forces to build a portal that crosses the plane and directly connects to the bottomless abyss.

Orders for the Northland Parliament have increased again.

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

……………………

This day.

With the arrival of the alternating season of autumn and summer, heavy rains began to occur everywhere, and floods seemed to occur in the central part of the mainland. The lizardmen expanded their territory again along the torrent, and many flooded areas were occupied by them. However, the south was relatively calm. In addition to the occasional traces of fallen people, it was also true that someone saw the legendary lich some time ago.

Lichs rarely walk in the world.

As the top undead creatures, they have endless years to squander. The lich's favorite thing is to stay in their own cemetery nest for research.

but!

Recently, a lich appeared in the south, and this incident attracted the attention of the paladins.

South of the Fengmao hills is a dense forest, which is the territory of the Isabella family and a place for the nobles to hunt and enjoy when they are bored.

The heavy rain has just stopped for a while.

A team of people advanced along the road. They were well-equipped and had strong faces, and even had followers equipped with military crossbows and other weapons. They could tell at a glance that they were private soldiers of the nobles.

"Baron."

A middle-aged man dressed in a knight rode a horse to the center of the team and said in a deep voice: "After passing the hill ahead, we will reach our territory. Recently, a group of traversing snake people bandits appeared in the Fengchi Hill."

"We'd better not rest here."

Soon, a reply came from the team, and a young nobleman with a little tiredness said, "Sir Slake will do it."

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

It was only two days away that he had already exhausted him like this. Compared to the old Baron who killed the ogre with his bare hands, the new lord was so bad. His fancy swordsmanship was completely intended to attract those noble ladies. As a knight, he had hardly seen the Baron do it before.

The team continues to move forward.

These guards are veterans who have been on the battlefield. Even if they meet adventurers one-on-one, they will not be at all disadvantages.

Sir Slack was not very worried that any bandits would dare to attack them, but out of a habit of caution, he sent his confidants to investigate the situation ahead.

But.

More than ten minutes have passed, but I still haven't seen anyone come back.

Sir Slack felt something was wrong, so he quietly pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword. Then he rode his horse toward 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 sounded, and a guard fell down with his throat.

"careful!"

"There are archers ambushing here!"

A burst of exclamations sounded, and then people fell to the ground one after another. From the dense forest, black shadows rushed out. They were holding all kinds of weapons, but the most eye-catching thing was their skins, which had silver scales on their skins. Wearing various armors, they surrounded the team from both sides.

"Snake Man!"

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

The team was suddenly panicked, but soon as Sir Slack's order gathered and lined up to guard the team in the center.

Recently, many snake people have appeared in the south.

Especially in the Fengchi Hills, many caravans were attacked by Snakemen. Many nobles knew that there was a group of wandering Snakemen robbers, and even Baron Naros died at the hands of Snakemen. It was precisely because of this that their group of people brought so many guards, but after seeing the number of enemies clearly, Sir Slake still gasped and his heart was covered with shadow.

The number of this group of snake people and bandits has grown stronger again.

In addition to the Snake Man, there were many other human robbers who attacked them, at least more than twice their number.

"poisonous!"

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

A round of shooting strikes.

Sir Slack turned over and dismounted. He picked up a shield and blocked it in front of him. The guards around him also raised their shields, and some with crossbow arrows were still shooting the opponent.

People keep falling to the ground and can't get up.

The robbers in front of him rushed over in a swarm, and both sides suffered great losses. Sir Slack carefully stared at the snake man in front of him. Most of the human robbers were weak, and the real danger was these snake man. If they could kill the enemy's leader, perhaps this group of robbers would defeat themselves without attacking.

Found it!

Sir Slack soon discovered the Snake Man leader who was commanding the battle.

He roared angrily, suddenly raised his shield to his chest, knocked open the crowd in front of him, and then launched a charge and swung his sword to slash at the leader of the snake man.

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

A dark light passed by!

Sir Slack's figure suddenly stiffened and two figures suddenly appeared in his sight, followed by a dagger piercing into his throat.

Wanderer.

Two advanced wanderers.

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

Darkness is coming.

Sir Slake slowly fell to the ground. Before he died, he seemed to hear the Baron begging for mercy, and the voice seemed to be a woman.

……………………

The snake man bandit appeared again.

The news seemed to have wings and soon spread around nearby places.

However, this time the attack was not the merchants, but the rulers of the Fengspit territory and the nobles of the Isabella family. The cause of the incident seemed to be because the lords here surrounded and suppressed a Snake Man bandits and crucified one of the leaders to the cross, hoping to use this to shock the lawless bandits. But he never expected that the Snake Man bandits would revenge on the rulers of the Fengspit Hills and directly killed several nobles.

A net of conspiracy has begun to gather.

After the first step of the plan was completed, the next step was the stage of Adele Isabella. The shadow of Sauron was shrouded in this land. I don’t know if it was a terrible disaster or the prosperity and hope of the second Modo city.

But there is no doubt about it.

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