Parallel Armies——The Sound of the Turning Tide Chapter 24: The Time for Revenge Has Arrived
Alexander held Chester's hand. "Calm down. It's impossible for a large army to enter the wilderness to rescue people at this time. It's up to us to stay awake."
"I'm fine." Chester shook his head. His tone was cold and he didn't seem to have human emotions. After saying this, the color from the center of his pupils began to return to normal, and he covered his face with one hand in pain.
Alexander turned around to ask about the route and asked if there was a map.
But now the map has been put under military control. Steam locomotives cannot travel on that route. Of course, the supervisor still told Alexander.
If it takes more than half a week to walk that route, it will take no more than three days by steam locomotive to reach the supply camp outside the wilderness.
The scouts used a lot of potions in order to enter the Desolate Forest, and the cost has exceeded the deposit you gave last time. However, the subsequent expenses were provided by Countercurrent Trading Company, and the losses caused to the high-level scouts due to previous misjudgments were also borne.
Alexander thanked his supervisor, excused himself and went to find his teammates to prepare for departure.
So, the people below have finished their shopping. You have used active medicine to endure the severe pain and improved the level of muscle storage of magic power. After that, you took the last steam locomotive of the day and walked the first part of the road.
Compared with steam battleships, these locomotives have a rough shape and a vibration similar to that of a real carriage. If Moengnan was still here, he might have made his stupid remarks like "This is really a tough guy..."
.
Five days later, a group of people got used to having a good sleep. Not long after they woke up, the first carriage carrying some special supplies stopped at a camp that was about a quarter of the size of Guzhuo Town. Of course, there were only fewer private houses.
There are all the buildings that should be there. It can be said to be a small town, but the defense level is higher.
The carriage could not drive into the camp, so the goods and the people in the car in front arrived at the camp first and entered the camp after being confirmed by the sentry.
"Huh?" Alexander got up and looked around. "Where is this?"
"This is the supply camp, right?" Fageni said.
"Ah, the time has indeed arrived." Alexander also got out of the car. "Come on, let's go in."
"Don't let people drive the car back and take us with them." Fageni got out of the car.
Hitz patted Chester to wake him up and got out of the car. "What Fageni said makes sense." Kanas didn't say anything, he was the last one to stretch his body.
The density of monsters at the southern end of the Wild Forest is smaller, but this is the reason why the judgment range on the periphery here is larger than at the north end. Therefore, you must be fully prepared when entering the target area - for example, long-term battles make it difficult to maintain weapons, and you must have backup and ordinary monsters.
Special weapons for combat, spell magic circles for warning and defense during night rest, more supplies outside of combat, several common special antidotes, etc. But Chester didn’t have time to take care of them after a few people entered.
he.
"Chester, you also know that the Wild Forest is very dangerous. There is a high chance that you will die if you go in now. We can't protect you all the time. It's up to you to decide whether to go in with us or not."
Alexander, who had already bought all the supplies, turned back and said: "Chester, please stay here for now. Let's find the exact location of the black eye. It may be dangerous on the road, so let's clean it up first and come back to repair it for a few days before bringing it back."
You go together. Before we come back, can you see if you can find another team or something to train as an apprentice?" But in fact, Alexander wanted to lie to him, but he had the idea of killing him if he found out on the way.
Alexander saw a flash of silver light in Chester's eyes, as if he had secretly practiced the special power of controlling his eyes during the five days on the motorcycle. "Sister Alexander, don't get away with it, I must see it with my own eyes. No, with my own hands."
Kill those damn robbers. Since those robbers who are weaker than me at the beginning can be killed by my knife, why can't I join you?" This is also true, even if Chester was killed in the wine cellar at the beginning.
If the two robbers were lucky, Chester should have surpassed them by now.
[Alas, I still won't hide myself.] Alexander sighed secretly and said: "There are so many of them, and a leader will naturally be powerful. If they are all such weak bandits, how can they have a stronghold in the Desolate Forest.
"
"Then, we can unite with other mercenary teams. There are other mercenary groups in Yijiyan and other places to do tasks, right? I won't hold you back. If you hide well, maybe you can still play some role." Chase
Don't want to give up very much.
"We don't have time to unite them, but if you have time, you can unite them here. Let's go find where the Black Eyes' camp is." Fageni gave a suggestion.
"This place is so close to their stronghold. I'm not sure whether the mercenary team found here is trustworthy enough, and they may not be willing to go with us to defeat Black Eyes, not to mention that we really don't know their specific location now.
, it will be even harder to find someone to go with." Alexander gave his own opinion.
"How about this. See my current strength, and I will definitely let you recognize me. Now I am much stronger than before." Chester will not give up this opportunity in any case, but if based on the existing resources,
Re-deploy it. Not to mention becoming a combat force, if you can guarantee self-protection, it is not impossible to bring him with you. After all, I am not afraid of death.
"This...that's okay." Alexander couldn't resist the child.
First of all, although he has not yet mastered the spell handed over by Heath, he has mastered an instant spell from the magic book that does not require chanting. It can instantly improve physical abilities, similar to Sophia's technique of using magic to strengthen physical fitness.
In terms of breathing techniques, Fageni discovered that although Chester had never mastered the essence of what he taught, Chester's subsequent breathing rhythm seemed to be slightly different from Fageni's own. In the process of blocking with the knife,
The special vibration of the blade body expanded the defensive effect, but I didn't notice it. If it weren't for Fageni, others wouldn't be able to see this subtle difference at all.
In addition, the special power of his eyes can be freely retracted.
In terms of explosive power, he has surpassed Moeng Nan, but he cannot continue to defend in a long battle. If he improves his reaction ability and dodge speed, relying on medicine, he can barely face the B-level mercenary group.
Survived the war.
The combat power of Chester is slightly weaker than that of Phargenius himself in Lamesa.
Alexander went to the blacksmith's shop to see what he could buy. Because it is common for weapons and armor to be severely worn or damaged due to long-term battles, the ordinary equipment here is affordable, and the method is small profits but quick turnover. Alexander picked a light vine
Armor, its own defense is not bad, and it comes with a shield that can defend against fatal attacks once a day. The only disadvantage is that it will lose part of its original effect when facing flames. The price is very affordable, only forty-five Lindsays——
Compared with similar magic armor, it is much cheaper.
Alexander spent money to buy the equipment and gave it to Chester. "Be careful not to touch the fire." He nodded seriously. It seemed that Alexander planned to take him there, which made the child relieved.
Alexander took out the serrated fangs that had been gathering dust for a long time from the space ring. "Our former teammates gave it to us before they retired. You can take it first."
"I almost forgot about this." Fageni still didn't know why Kino, who could still be an adventurer, gave this knife to Alexander at that time.
"Shut up. I really should beat you twice for Kino." Alexander glared at Fageni.
"Why?" Fageni looked shocked.
"climb."
However, Chester does not have the ability to use two weapons at the same time, but he can sell one.
"Give me a good weapon. You can never have too many weapons." Kanas said before. Then Chester handed the knife he used at the beginning to the Naga warrior.
I spent an extra half day on the road, deliberately looking for trouble to fight against a monster that was weak to a few people, but comparable to Chester, so that Chester could practice his skills. After successfully completing the herb collection mission, he arrived at the scout the next day.
Last place of stay.
"This is it." Alexander glanced around. After such a long time, the footprints have disappeared, but if the bandit group is active, there will definitely be some traces left.
Alexander began to search around for traces of human activities. Fageni was still wary of the surroundings. The last experience with the scorpion made him be careful every time he entered this place.
Alexander keenly discovered traces of trampling on a decaying tree root, probably heading east, that is, towards Yiji Rock.
"This way." Alexander called his teammates. "Let's go."
"Yeah." Fageni followed.
"Although it's a bit strange to say this now, what are we going to do?" Kanas asked.
"I'll try to put it as simply as possible. One of our team members' family members was captured by robbers. We happened to be on the way and we were preparing to rescue him." Alexander explained.
"Because we are partners of justice." Although Heath is not a bad person, he does not seem to be connected with justice.
"Oh, revenge, what's the matter? Kill them all?" Kanas's idea was very simple, and he always acted like this when he was in the sea.
"The hostages must not be killed. Most of the others can be killed." Alexander made a cold joke. Fortunately, Chester didn't react.
After moving carefully, the group arrived one mile east of Yiji Rock. Alexander found an old tree that was at least half a year old. On the tree's dense leaves was a robber who was letting loose, dressed and cut.
The two that Ste killed were almost the same.
Except for a very shallow creek, the trees nearby are relatively low and widely spaced, which is different from the previous dense forest.
