Spring is always short, and with a few sudden heavy rains, the weather gradually becomes warmer.

But compared to the Northland, which is still in severe cold, this place is obviously more suitable for human habitation. At least the wood spirits like this climate very much. It is warm, humid, and sunny, and it seems that plants grow.

But at this time, the south wind with the rotten bones blows, and the dark clouds follow, but the temperature drops in vain, which seems to imply that the warm summer is not coming so soon, at least there is still a terrible cold spring to go through .

Since the germinated seeds of Dreamland Forest are somewhat similar to oak, the newly evolving Dreamland Forest has a nice name——Oak Town, but for his guardian, the undead have not yet arrived , but let them wander in worry and joy at the same time.

Fortunately, the shadow of war seems to be expected to be a few days later, and they have more time to prepare for war. What is worrying is that according to the usual practice, the longer the assembly time, the more amazing the number and quality of opponents.

The earliest expectation was that the undead should have arrived two days ago, but as a result, they have not seen a trace so far. In the minds of many veterans, they have already made psychological preparations. With such a long preparation time, the opponent might have already Gathering the frontline forces of Rainy Night City, the number of undead army that is about to attack will be very exaggerated.

"If it's another ten days and a half a month, it will be fine. It is said that there are many people in the country of mages who are interested in justice points. Maybe they will join us."

But from a distance suddenly raised smoke to see. The possible reinforcements still haven't caught up, what should have come, before the dark clouds cover Oak Town. There was a Pegasus rider who landed first, and before he landed, he shouted loudly.

"I'm coming!"

What's coming? In fact, everyone knew what was going on, but no one panicked.

"Close the city gate!"

"Notify all scouting and hunting teams to return to Oak Town."

"No one notified the wood spirits and the heads? Hurry up and report to someone."

This is an adventurer, noisy and chaotic, but full of action. After a few minutes, everyone knew that war was coming. They all started to get busy.

In fact, there is no need to hide the military situation. Experienced fighters can judge the size of the army and the arrival time from the height of the dust raised. The vanguard knights of the undead will arrive in about two hours, and they have been prepared for a long time. The fighters have been mobilized.

A large number of bows and arrows were placed on the city wall.

The archers began to adjust their bowstrings, the tree men rose from the ground, and the catapults began their final ballistic calculations.

In less than an hour and a half, the first batch of skeleton cavalry had arrived. The silent bone knights, carrying rotten saddles and lances, circled the city wall, looking for any deficiencies in the defense. If the opponent showed a weakness, They will naturally become the sharp knife of the raid. But in the end, he still retreated.

"Are you late?"

The death knight Habern finally gave up his plan to attack and looked at the scene in front of him. For the first time, he questioned the judgment of the great emperors, whether the Republic underestimated these plant life too much.

The rhizome of the Tongtian tree brings the power of the mother body, giving the newborn "oak seed" the mature power, while the "primitive oak" that gradually sprouts gives new power to Oak Town after the natural cycle is constructed. Although it is still called Oak Town, in the eyes of most people. It is already a fortress-level defense.

The city walls are getting taller and taller, and the treant brigade patrolling back and forth, let’s not talk about these for the time being. The most incomprehensible thing is that the extension of the green fortress is already emerald green, and the trees are growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. One forest after another has formed on this wasteland, and the former wasteland has become grassland and woodland.

This is a miracle created by the overflowing power of nature, and soon, this forest will become the nourishment for the continued growth of "Oak Town". To achieve self-balance, at that time, just by approaching here, there will be countless hostility and eyes watching you.

Finding that the opponent's defenses are complete, it is useless to attack the city with a cavalry regiment dominated by skeleton cavalry. The forward commander of the undead chose to retreat without hesitation, waiting for his main force to arrive.

And in a temporary mountain headquarters in Oak Town, the leaders of the adventurers are also discussing the current military situation.

In a sense, the wood spirits have strictly kept their true colors. They obviously lack complete trust in adventurers. In addition, the two have different pursuits of mission strategies. The wood spirits hope that Oak Town can grow, and they will not hesitate to sacrifice The adventurers always pursue their own best interests. Naturally, there are two sets of leadership groups in Oak Town, but from the current point of view, they still focus on cooperation and there are not many differences.

There are two sets of leaders, one is the alliance of adventurers, and the other is the decision-making level of the wood spirits. In fact, this may also be the regular cooperation model between future contracted heroes and local forces. His subordinates obeyed the command completely and completely, and carried out every order without compromise.

From the employer's point of view, from the point of view of making the best use of everything, the most dangerous cannon fodder is the most dangerous cannon fodder for temporary comrades bought with money. But the Alliance has to think about the people under them. They also want to get a lot of benefits without losing a life.

The positions of the two are different, which naturally brings about differences.

Cooperation, communication, appropriate trust, vague upper-lower relationship, but not absolute, the two sides always keep a distance, and pursue the intersection of various interests under the same goal seems to be the best choice at present.

This time, the adventurer's alliance is composed of more than a dozen senior adventurers. Those who speak are either high-level executives of large mercenary regiments, or are highly respected adventurers themselves, representing the interests of scattered adventurers.

"The total number of undead is about 60,000 to 80,000. Judging from the banner, there are probably more than a dozen undead kings. The leader is Dawei from Esso Rivies..."

Unlike the scattered adventurers who only see the skeleton knights in front of them, medium and large mercenary groups have their own detection methods, and some are patrolling in advance by air cavalry. Some of them are the investigation spells of prophecy mages, and the main force of the undead army is already clear at a glance.

And when many investigative methods gathered the information, they naturally came up with a relatively reliable summary of the information, but the camp remained silent as before, not because the opponent was too powerful, but...

"No, this amount is too small. Is there any fraud?"

Yes, completely different than expected. The undead that came were far less than expected. It was originally estimated that all the undead lords of Esso Reeves would be dispatched in full force, and the overall force might exceed one million, but only one-tenth of them came.

Double team? Feint? bait? Or simply leave it here. Open the battlefield again in another place? Many thoughts lingered in everyone's minds, and it was because there were so many possibilities that no one dared to draw conclusions.

Suddenly, a carrier pigeon flew into the tent and fell into the hands of Case who was thinking.

"...it appears that our employer has additional sources of intelligence."

It was an information notification given by the wood spirit, and it simply means that for some reason, some undead lords rejected the call, and some undead lords who had already gathered suddenly left the army. That's why the opponent's combat strength is relatively low this time, allowing adventurers to prepare for the battle with peace of mind.

"Some reason? It seems that the employer doesn't fully trust us?"

The voice just fell. Some people were obviously dissatisfied. Adventurers fought hard for their employers, but they could not gain the trust of their employers. No wonder they were dissatisfied.

A white-haired old man shook his head helplessly. He is Airo Simu, the former bishop of the Mother Earth Sect. He is also a well-known adventurer now.

"Oh, to be honest. Are we ourselves completely trusting our companions again? What's more, that happened before."

What he was talking about was obviously the espionage incident a few days ago. Since this incident was revealed, many teams have been more careful, and no one knows if there are such spies in their own ranks.

"I've also heard. It is said that the wood spirits have specially invited other helpers. It is said that they are the top 30 big figures on the list of the fairies?"

"The list of famous generals? Impossible. The top 30 are all national treasures of various countries. How could they accept employment? If there is really a famous general, he would have been given the command right a long time ago. It's not like we don't know the importance."

"...Have you forgotten? Goblins don't just rank famous generals from various countries, but also have a more authoritative list."

"...The natural disaster list!? The top thirty in the natural disaster list? Are you sure you are here to help us, not to kill us together?"

The scene suddenly calmed down, and the ranking of such things as natural disasters means "If you accidentally encounter them, don't think about resisting, let alone counter-killing, just run for your life." Demigod monsters, and those in the top 30 are basically super troublesome thousand-year-old monsters who can't die no matter what.

"Top 30? Willing to be hired? Is it the Plague King or the 'Volcano Tyrant'? No matter which one it is, it is not a good thing!"

The Plague King is a classical alchemist who specializes in pharmacy. At first, the object of his research was the medicine to cure the plague, but due to some reasons, the object that was expected to be cured was burned alive as the source of the plague. As a doctor, he was sent to the temple The Church declared heretics and blasphemers, and hunted them down.

As a result, he really became a heretic, and released the mutated virus he carefully cultivated during revenge, turning the entire parish where the enemy was located into a hell on earth. Today, the plague king has been wanted by more than 20 countries. But still at large.

And he is also one of the few "mobile natural disasters" who are still active on the mainland and accept the employment of others. Of course, he was hired either to cure the plague or to create the plague. Apart from the deep-rooted hatred for the Holy Church, as long as he finds an opportunity, he will take revenge. In addition, he is considered the most harmless of the natural disasters, but he was able to rank eleventh in the natural disasters because it is said that the guy is powerless, but once he dies, if the multiple mixed viruses stored in his body explode, The population of the entire continent will be reduced by one-half. Even the Church of the Holy Church only dares to say that he is wanted, but no one dares to take action.

If the Plague Lord is *, the Volcanic Tyrant is a real natural disaster. He is a giant lava fire scorpion that feeds on geothermal heat and has been operating in volcanic areas for a long time. It is said that he has the ability to create volcanic eruptions at will, and in fact, every time he appears, he is accompanied by a volcanic eruption in the background.

The Lava Fire Scorpion itself has no enemies on this continent. With high intelligence, it longs for flesh and soul as food, so he accepts war employment. Although it only accepts treasures such as sub-artifacts, the royal families of various countries can't afford to hire them, but business has not been very good, except that it costs seven In addition to the minimum "appearance fee" of 100 offerings, once it appears on the battlefield. But it is the end that both the enemy and the enemy lose.

After all, the contested fertile lakes turned into volcanic areas. Important strategic locations were turned into lava lakes, a near-disastrous outcome.

And it is precisely because of this that there are private covenants among countries, and the countries and individuals who hire volcano tyrants will become public enemies. But there are always desperate people in this world. Although there are not many businesses, but every few decades, there will always be business coming to their door, and they can eat all they want at once.

The Plague King was ranked in the top 20 because his life was too "important", and the volcano tyrant who had caused countless tragedies only ranked 29th. You can see what the top 30 natural disasters are. Now the wood spirit is said to have hired a top 30 Scourge. Most of the rankings are still ahead of the volcanic tyrant, which naturally makes adventurers frightened.

"No, we have to ask the wood spirit!"

And when the scene was chaotic. However, Case received a letter from a member of his regiment, and what he wanted to inquire about had already been heard.

"...Sure enough, no one from the 'Wooden Spirit Super Cute' team is in the camp anymore?"

But on the side of the undead, it was also busy for a while.

In a sense. I have some admiration and sympathy for the undead king named Dawei.

The older you get, the more you fear death, and the wise undead are not fearless lunatics. When the ever-increasing missing list appeared, many undead lords who planned to hold their thighs also had to think about the future.

"Sorry, I have some personal matters that need to be dealt with urgently. I wish you all the best of luck."

Before the reason for the disappearance is found out, I am afraid that no undead lord is willing to stay in the army. After all, it is not only the low-level undead who are missing, but even legendary and holy undead lords and maharajas.

But even if Dawei asked the Undead Emperor for help, he didn't get a response. In this case, unless the reason for the disappearance was found out and eradicated, no one would be willing to disappear inexplicably.

Facing the missing lists one after another, even Dawei himself was in a daze, but he was stuck, there was only one chance, and if he failed... the great emperors don't care about the reason, if you fail, you fail, there is no one. The things should have gone to the garbage dump long ago, and Dawei himself would lose everything he had in his hands, and even bear the wrath of the undead emperors.

And when the news came out that none of the departed people suffered from the misfortune of disappearance, even a fool knew that Dawei was being targeted by something terrible. If he didn't want to take risks, what should he choose.

The most important thing is Dawei himself, who has been unable to come up with a policy to stabilize the morale of the army... In fact, let alone him, even if I am in that position, I can't find anything wrong with the situation.

"War" is still in its infancy, all investigative spells are unable to find unborn people, and the "fusion contribution" of the undead is an almost instinctive suicide behavior. Perhaps a call is like a person who wants to go for a walk. The mood is automatically broken. This kind of situation is so weird that it is impossible to guard against it.

If Dawei is willing to disband the army and re-investigate the organization, the problem can naturally be solved, but he has no time at all.

As a result, only 50,000 to 60,000 of the undead army originally had more than 300,000 were left, and most of them were Dawei's direct descendants, who signed the soul contract, and Dawei wanted them to die just for one thought. A road to the dark iron "direct line".

But even so, Dawei is still full of confidence. He can hear the melodious violin sound from his residence every day. It seems that this music-loving undead boss is still in a good mood. He still holds small concerts every day, but...

"I'm guilty, I deliberately kept it the same as before, but actually revealed my timid nature."

"Indeed, since we've already arrived on the battlefield, it's enough to raise our vigilance directly. If we do this, we will appear more guilty."

Heloise and I watched the excitement quite leisurely, but in fact, I still had some doubts.

After all, the undead lords are willing to see Dawei in bad luck, but the undead lords may not see the expansion of the Wood Spirit Clan. A war that must be defeated can completely call Dawei back, and Dawei himself can't survive the obvious path of death. He went to the black with one heart, it seems that he must have a trump card in his hand. (to be continued) ()
