"Well, was what just happened an hallucination?" Little girl Shirley looked around for a week, but still didn't find anyone. She immediately scratched her little head and said, "It must be an hallucination. No, Shirley has to work hard to eat. She won't eat until she's full.
Hallucinations!"
Little did Nalant know that the little loli's hallucinations turned into appetites, and she began to harm the cream cake with all her efforts.
After returning to the tent, he looked excited. After this blessing of kiwi fruit, his magic power had been greatly improved.
The magic of spatial teleportation has made even more gratifying progress.
For example, before, his teleportation could only be carried out within a range of five meters.
Such teleportation, in the face of attacks from some strong men, is actually just enough to save one's life. It is definitely not enough to have other functions.
Even when facing an enemy that could directly crush him, the five-meter distance would only allow him to dodge a single blow.
But now, the distance he can teleport can reach more than twenty meters.
At such a distance, the power of teleportation can be brought into full play.
Not only can he rely on teleportation to avoid the enemy's pursuit and save his life.
You can also rely on teleportation to get close to the enemy unexpectedly and carry out a sneak attack.
With this improvement in strength, Nalant could sleep more soundly at night.
In the next two days, Nalant did not leave the camp again, nor did he let his subordinates practice or harvest dark creatures.
Like other principality troops, he recuperated himself and allowed his subordinates to recover from their injuries.
However, as the news of Nalant being isolated at the meeting spread, there were a lot of arguments and speculations among the expedition team about where Nalant's team would go.
Some people think that Narant is dead this time.
Because there is no principality team to form a team, and there is no magician to fight with the team, such a team entering the land of death is simply giving snacks to dark creatures.
Of course, some people think that Nalant will not die. There is a high probability that he will find a place to hide and wait until the expedition is over to return with everyone.
However, no matter what these speculations are, at least everyone agrees on one thing.
That was the end of Nalant's expedition.
No matter what he chooses at that time, he will definitely not be responsible for the merits of this expedition.
During these discussions, Duke Miller, Bernard, and representatives of the nobility of the Blue Shield Principality, as well as representatives of the nobility of the Rulot Principality, all came to Nalant's camp.
Although they were unable to change what had been decided at the meeting, they all reminded Nalant that he could find a stable place to stay after entering the Land of Death.
If you are really in danger, don't hesitate and retreat directly to the isolation zone.
Because, no matter what, life is always more important than other things.
Even if this becomes a target for someone with good intentions afterwards, the worst that can happen is that he will have to pay a fine of some gold coins and get a bad reputation.
But compared to Nalant's own life and the lives of his subordinates, these external things are not important.
After hearing this, Narant naturally had no objection and responded politely and humbly.
No matter what, these people can be regarded as giving good advice.
Before everyone left, Narant even gave each of them a barrel of potion wine.
But after the nobles who came to comfort them left, they didn't know that Nalant didn't listen to their words at all.
It is impossible to hide, even for the rest of your life.
He can only become stronger by killing dark creatures, so he decided to kill all the dark creatures he encountered on the way.
As for why Nalant is so tough, apart from the fact that his own strength has greatly improved, his subordinates are also making rapid progress with his money.
Now the overall strength of the Knights of the Storm has doubled.
The Silver Knights have reached more than 150 people.
The remaining bronze knights have all broken through to the intermediate bronze level, and will continue to improve as time goes by.
After all, Nalant distributed twenty kiwi fruits to each person.
In total, each person took the equivalent of four full-effect kiwi fruits at one time.
Even when Nalant first traveled through time, he didn't have such luxury.
As for the boys and girls of the Magician Legion, although there is no breakthrough in their realm, their magic power has been greatly improved.
Originally, each person's ten fireball spells would consume all their magic power at once, and they needed to meditate again to restore their magic power.
But now, everyone can release at least twenty fireballs, and there are even boys and girls with excellent talents who can shoot thirty fireballs.
The singing speed of these boys and girls releasing fireballs has also become faster, although it is not as exaggerated as Nalant's instantaneous release.
But the extremely fast spell casting speed of one point and five seconds is far superior to those junior magicians of the Holy Magic Academy.
Even the speed at which they release fireballs at this moment is already on par with the intermediate magicians of the Sacred Magic Academy.
Originally, with the current level of the boys and girls, Nalant could already try to teach them more basic magic, and even simple intermediate magic.
But Narant knows he can't bite off more than he can chew.
Moreover, he just wanted his army of magicians to win as a team rather than rely on fighting alone, so he had no plans to let them learn new magic in the short term.
He will not make other considerations until this expedition is completed.
…
When the three days were up, the Holy Alliance's expedition team finally began to pull out camp again.
After receiving the departure order from the Alliance Council, Nalant followed the flow of people and embarked on the journey again.
The next journey is actually not far away, and we will see the real destination this time, the place of death, in just one day.
The next morning, after only an hour's journey, the scenery in front of Nalant and others had undergone earth-shaking changes.
They saw that as far as they could see, there was an endless black area.
Black land, black vegetation and trees, and black and red clouds that seem to never be dispersed.
All this reveals the aura of death, which is in sharp contrast to the lush wilderness that Nalant and others are still stepping on at this moment.
"Sir, is that the place of death?"
It was also the first time for Nalant's subordinates to see the extremely oppressive scenery, and they stopped one after another.
"Yes, Shirley, that's the place of death!" Nalant nodded, saying it not only for the little girl to listen to, but also for himself.
Although I was already prepared when I came, I even saw a small piece of land infected by the death energy when I was in Glory Continent.
But compared to this boundless land of death, there is no such feeling of the end of the world in the Glory Continent.
"Let's go, let's keep going!"
After stopping and watching for a moment, Narant saw that the other teams were still marching, and Nalant waved his hand, asking his subordinates to follow.
When you come to the border of this land of death, the figures of sacred thorns can be seen everywhere.
It is the sacred thorns around here that separate the colorful and beautiful world behind you from the land of death in front of you.
These sacred thorns were planted by the principalities and empires of the Holy Alliance in the past.
And when Nalant came this time, he also brought a sufficient number of sacred thorns.
At that time, every time he captured a former town, he could plant sacred thorns around the town to show that the place had been cleared.
In the end, the Holy Alliance will mobilize the entire alliance to transport more sacred thorns and plant them on the edges of the taken-back land.
When the sacred thorns completely cover this area, then as time goes by, in less than a year, the death energy on this land will gradually be absorbed.
Until no more dead energy spreads in, and then the earth becomes full of life again.
This is also the reason why the Holy Alliance goes on an expedition every year.
Although the speed of recovering land is very slow.
But by slowly encroaching on it, they felt that one day they would be able to take back the entire continent.
"Baron Nalant, President Theodore has ordered that from now on, each team in the alliance will start to act separately according to the distribution of the previous two days!"
And just after arriving at the border of the Land of Death, messengers ran out from the center of the alliance team.
As these messengers deliver the order to divide the troops, it also means that the real test is about to begin.
However, the teams of principalities and empires did not set off immediately.
Instead, he started burying pots for cooking in the wasteland hundreds of meters away from the place of death.
Because after entering the land of death, I'm afraid they won't even be able to find burning wood.
In this way, if you want to have a hot meal, it is a luxury.
The meal lasted for more than an hour. As the sun was rising and it was about to reach noon, loud and clear horn sounds were finally heard from around Narant.
This is the clarion call for other principality teams to truly set off.
"Everyone, let's go!" Nalant didn't waste any time. After confirming that all his subordinates had packed up and saluted, he waved his hand and led his subordinates into the place of death.
When he stood completely on the land of death, a cold feeling instantly invaded his whole body.
One moment it was clearly in the bright sunshine, but the next moment it was like entering a freezer.
All of Nalant's subordinates shuddered and then subconsciously tightened their clothes.
Seeing everyone's behavior, Nalant shook his head and said nothing.
Instead, he ordered Shirley to release the Swift Eagle and the Bee to serve as a warning, while continuing to move forward.
I don’t know if it’s because there are too many sacred thorns on the border, but Nalant rarely encounters dark creatures within the five or six miles of the border.
After stepping out of the five or six miles range, the number of dark creatures finally increased.
However, the dark creatures encountered so far are mostly skeleton soldiers and hell dogs of the lowest level.
These skeleton soldiers and hell dogs seem to be the wild monsters in the previous game copy.
Before Nalant and others arrived, they were wandering around unconsciously.
But when Nalant and others approached, these guys who heard the noise became crazy again, and then attacked them hysterically.
"Knights of the Storm, crush them!"
Facing these stragglers, Nalant's team would definitely have an easy time dealing with them.
The Storm Knights, who have strong mobility, are responsible for the rangers' duty of clearing these dark creatures along the way.
With a simple attack by the knights, the skeleton soldiers and scattered hell dogs that had not had time to get close were immediately filled with hatred.
Of course, this situation is only at the beginning.
As Nalant and others went deeper, they encountered more and more dark creatures.
This place of death is indeed the home of dark creatures, and these dark creatures are simply inexhaustible to kill.
Gradually, in the evening, Nalant and others not only had dark creatures blocking their way in front of them.
There are even dark creatures chasing behind him.
Although those who are chasing are the weakest skeleton soldiers.
However, this scene seemed to be under siege, and in addition to being in a dark environment all the time, it extremely tested the confidence of Nalant's subordinates.
"Ook! Ook! It's terrible, it's terrible!"
For example, among the goblins in Nalant's team, many of the goblins were already trembling with fear.
If it weren't for the fact that there were dark creatures surrounding him on both sides, Nalant felt that his team of goblins would have become smaller and smaller as they advanced.
Not killed by dark creatures, but these guys sneak away.
"Vivian, pull off all the tarpaulins on the carriage!"
Seeing this situation, Nalant immediately gave an order to Vivian.
"Yes, sir!"
Wow!
Following Nalant's instructions, Vivian immediately led people to tear off the cowhide tarpaulins on dozens of carriages.
Ho ho ho!
And when the cowhide tarpaulin was torn off, a faint white light immediately appeared on the carriage.
These carriages contained the sacred thorns that Nalant brought from his territory.
And as so many sacred thorns appeared, the low-level dark creatures that had been approaching immediately stopped.
Obviously, they felt threatened by the existence of the Sacred Thorn.
However, even so, these dark creatures did not escape, but surrounded Nalant's team not far or near.
Of course, there were still many dark creatures that would sneak up on them during this process, but they were quickly dealt with by Nalant and the others.
Nalant knew that these low-level dark creatures were like mosquitoes in the jungle in this place of death, and they could not be killed at all.
In this way, Nalant only ordered Quick and others to select those dark creatures that could contribute energy points to attack and kill.
As for the other dark creatures, as long as they don't get close, they won't waste any more energy on killing them.
Next, Nalant's team spent the first night surrounded by countless dark creatures.
This night was not particularly peaceful, because the roars of dark creatures around them made everyone feel stressed, and they couldn't sleep well at all.
In particular, from time to time, one or two three-headed hell dogs or even green-striped spiders would come for sneak attacks.
However, Nalant and others have not encountered higher-level dark creatures for the time being, which is gratifying.
After setting off on the second day, Nalant kept looking at the map in his hand.
Because if there were no accidents, they would encounter the first town on the route after an hour or two of traveling.
According to Duke Miller and others, dark creatures also like to gather in towns.
In this way, Nalant and others are expected to break out in that small town, the first war after entering the land of death.
