Tristram is located to the north of King's Harbor, and there is a huge forest plain between the two locations. If you want to safely cross this forest plain, the best way is to take the Branwell Knights' route to the west.
, and then the trade route opened from Westmar arrived at Dunkre, which is now the aristocratic district of King's Port.
However, No. 1 and four other men in black robes relied on their status as evil contracters and their strong strength to boldly enter the forest sea from the Xiangguo Plain outside King's Harbor, taking the shortest route between the two places.
straight road.
They crossed over without any problems when they came, and they naturally didn't change direction when they came back. After all, the leader, No. 2, was at level 80 or so and was not a good-looking person.
The most numerous monsters in the forest are various beasts polluted by the energy of hell, as well as the "Yamans" who once lived in the vast forests of the western border.
The Yaman are a type of demihuman, and like the cat people and dwarves, their race is also contaminated by the energy of hell.
From the appearance, this sub-race is actually the centaur that Xue Hua was familiar with in his previous life. They live in the jungle and plains, live in groups, love peace, and are upright by nature. Before being contaminated by the energy of hell, they interacted with Branway
The knights of the Er Knights have a good relationship, and the Knights even once allowed the centaurs to participate in the training of the knights.
Unfortunately, the invasion of hell later broke out. The centaurs were not fully protected by the will of the world because they were demi-humans. They were contaminated by the energy of hell. A large number of Yaman tribes deviated from their nature and began to become enemies of humans.
Human flesh for food.
Since then, the Linhai Plain has become perilous.
People in King's Port generally stay far away from the woods. A strict sentry defense line has been built by King's Port at the border of Xiangguo Plain in the south of Linhai. The most elite "Shining Aegis" professional corps in King's Port has most of its troops.
It is stationed on this line of defense close to the forest.
In the eyes of the residents of King's Port, only lunatics would bypass the safe trade route to Branwell and choose to travel through Forest Sea, and since Tristram was completely occupied by demons, there is basically nothing to go to on that side of Forest Sea.
Yes.
But at this time, in the Linhai Plain, there happened to be a few lunatics traveling quickly through this vast forest.
They were dressed in black robes, and each of them was riding a Yaman on his crotch. They were traveling through the jungle with the help of these four-hoofed Yaman who were familiar with the forest.
These people are of course the No. 2 group who returned from Tristram. They rely on their status as evil covenanters to drive the monsters in the forest to do things for them at will. The Yaman people are one of the "monster services".
"Senior No. 2, who is the 'guy under the imperial mausoleum' that Senior No. 7 mentioned before?" The shorter No. 24, riding on the horse of the Yaman, finally couldn't hold back his heart.
Out of curiosity, he asked No. 2 in front of him.
"You guys have so many problems, why don't you go back and read the history books yourself?
Since that guy is buried in the royal tomb in Tristram, don’t you still know his identity?”
Number 2 scolded this guy impatiently.
This No. 24 has not been selected for a long time. Although his level has increased very quickly with the help of surgery, he has too little experience. He still needs to practice as soon as possible, otherwise he will wait until the need arises.
It would be very troublesome if he still behaves like this when he goes out to be on his own...
"Uh...oh..." No. 24 said a little aggrievedly, then lowered his head and said nothing.
Number 2 saw that the reprimand just now seemed a bit harsh, so he sighed helplessly and explained to him: "There is a reason why I asked you to go back and read the history books. Tristram was historically the kingdom of Westmarch.
A principality, there is only one king from the beginning to the end, and that is King Leoric who takes over as the lord of the principality as a paladin."
"Leoric?!" No. 24 exclaimed and raised his head. It seemed that he also knew this terrible story.
But yes, the story of "Black Mad Lord" Leoric is known to everyone in the Western Realm. It was precisely because he was seduced into corruption by Diavolo that the entire Tristram was completely degraded.
For the devil's paradise.
"Yes, it's Leoric. Now you know who the so-called 'guy under the imperial mausoleum' refers to, right?"
Number 2 nodded and looked a little serious.
If we talk about the guys in the entire first world that make their "Evolutionary Church" wary, "Black Crazy Lord" Leoric can definitely be counted as one of them. This guy is one of the few in the first world.
One of the superpowers who exists in his true form and has broken through the boundaries of legend.
Although Leoric could not leave his underground tomb due to the constraints of the will of the First World, the huge power this guy showed in Tristram City was enough to make people feel frightened.
Frankly speaking, if they hadn't been identified as Evil Contractors after undergoing surgery and were Leoric's natural allies, they might not have had the courage to build a secret stronghold under the boss's nose.
Thinking of this, No. 2 couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
The current strength of their "Evolutionary Church" is still too weak. Although it is assisted by various "holy objects" left by Lord "Shangshen" in the ruins, after all, its foundation is still shallow and it cannot compete with those behemoths!
They must hide deeper. They are in the dormant period now, but they must not be discovered by the enemies of the God of Evolution!
While No. 2 was thinking this, a very slight "chichi" sound suddenly came from the trees around them.
No. 2, who was distracted, reacted only half a beat later, before a large swarm of thorny needles swarmed out of the woods like migratory locusts!
Boom boom boom boom!!!!!
The fire when the explosive needle was activated instantly submerged the four men in black from the Church of Evolution. Countless shock waves mixed with needle fragments flew in all directions, and in the blink of an eye a large burning clearing was cleared from the dense woods.
"Asshole! There's an ambush!" No. 2's shrill roar sounded at this moment, but it came too late for his companions behind him.
Two of the four men in black robes were torn to pieces on the spot by the dense rain of explosive thorn needles, including the little man No. 24 who had been having problems. The only one who was still alive was No. 2.
The only one left is No. 17, who has reached level 73.
Moreover, although No. 17 was still alive, his condition was obviously very bad. The entire lower half of his body was gone, and half of his face was cut into a fragmented puzzle piece by the needle shrapnel flying like raindrops.
Such injuries were quite serious even for those with professional advantages. Although he did not die on the spot, whether he could be saved after drinking the recovery potion still depends on God's will.
"Damn it! Who is it!?" Seeing that two of the three brothers who had followed him out were killed and one seriously injured in the blink of an eye, No. 2, who had never experienced such a heavy loss before, immediately turned red-eyed.
However, what made him even more depressed was that he had no idea who the attackers were or why they were attacking them.
This kind of aggrieved feeling of being slapped and not knowing why made No. 2 feel very uncomfortable.
