In the rainforest under heavy rain, an area the size of a city was almost reduced to scorched earth, with broken trees and branches colliding with each other. A large number of giant spider remains could also be seen in the area.
A mercenary washed the spider slime on the armor's surface with the rainwater, while standing on a high-upturned branch of a broken tree and looking into the distance.
On the edge of this battlefield, you can still see the retreating spider group. Those giant spiders that were fearless just now seemed to have been summoned. They turned around and ran away without picking up the corpses of their kind. , retreated extremely cleanly.
The mercenary looked happy, not only because he had been upgraded in the previous battle, but also because their leader had thrown out a piece of news after a brief conversation with the scout.
After fighting here for more than a month, they even rested in a temporary camp nearby. Now they can finally return to the city!
Although they didn't say it explicitly, based on the battle situation in the past few days and the group of spiders that had just retreated like an ebbing tide, they had already determined one thing.
The battle for Spider Forest is over!
"I'm tired of eating spider legs every day, no matter how delicious they are. I can finally go back to Kaltim."
The mercenary jumped down from the tree and spoke happily to his companions. Thinking of the large commission accumulated in the past two months, he felt that this mission was really comfortable.
"Are you dumbfounded by the rain? Our employment mission is not over yet. We don't know how long it will take until this place is completely reclaimed." His teammate scratched the worn edge of the weapon in his hand and joked, But it seems a little unfinished.
Because they have enough manpower, Asilah's unified scheduling makes them feel invincible when fighting. Every battle has enough combat power to suppress the giant spider swarm, with almost no casualties, which also makes these people who used to be a bit useless. The more the mercenaries fought, the more confident they became.
If you use Mo Bei's words, it means that you have a big boss to guide you, and you have been lining up for nearly two months. It is so flattering that you have forgotten that you are actually a bronze!
I don't know if it was influenced by Asila's commanding charm or because of the hormonal aura exuding from the female wolf, many mercenaries even had the idea of turning into a formal Iron Wolf Guard.
"Didn't we hear before that the spider swarm has shown a tendency to be controlled? Looking at the way the spiders retreated just now was so abnormal, it shouldn't be like boosting morale. If it is true, then what happens next is actually It’s not too much trouble, there’s a commission anyway.”
Another mercenary took over and said a few words, which attracted a chorus of approval from his companions. Then he saw someone tearing up the teleportation scroll nearby, and a blue light curtain began to condense, so he hurriedly gathered around. Go through the portal.
The mercenary team that returned to the city received an order to temporarily disband, and they went to find a place to rest in small groups. When they passed by a group of guards wearing uniform armor, they recognized that they should be from Kalti. He came from Mu City and casually asked if everything was as usual in the royal capital.
This group of guards was none other than the dozen Lu Gaoyin Palace guards sent back by Mo Bei. After they entered the teleportation range of Kurast Port, they came back directly using teleportation scrolls, saving a few days of drifting. .
After hearing the inquiry, they all nodded as usual, and then headed in the direction of the formation tower.
The mercenaries just asked casually, and after receiving a positive response, they stopped thinking about it and went on to do what they had to do.
Lu Gaoyin couldn't help but look back after the palace guards walked some distance away, and looked with some pity at the mercenaries who were talking about how to get commissions. At the same time, they were also a little worried about how their Grand Duke, who was causing trouble in Kaltim City, would solve the chaos that these people might cause.
After seeing Black, these people completely reported to Black, Kane and others a series of actions taken by Mo Bei and his group after they arrived in Kaltim City. These people were stunned for a moment.
Mo Bei handed over the teleportation scroll to communicate with Kane to Perona, who was behind the scenes. However, Perona had only explained the situation briefly and concisely. How could those who had experienced it explain it in detail in person.
"In such a short period of time, it can affect the situation in the entire kingdom's capital... It took even Lazarus several years..."
After hearing this, Blake thought of the destruction of Tristram and the fall of the monastery of Khanduras, but halfway through he felt that the analogy was not appropriate, so he stopped.
"Judging from the time, they may have come into contact with the Holy See now. According to the suspicion they raised before, if the biggest crisis is lurking inside the Sadenko Cathedral, this is also when they are most dangerous."
Kane had a heavy look of worry on his face. He had previously proposed to go to Kaltim City to help, but was stopped by Mo Bei.
Even he couldn't refute the reasons put forward by Mo Bei. For an old man with a stooped figure like him, even if he disguised himself, it would be difficult for him to find a reasonable identity to interact closely with Conrad's forces. On the contrary, it would be easy for Mo Bei to give him a reason. Bei and others attracted suspicion.
And he wasn't sure how much help he would be able to get after going there.
The news that the situation in Kaltim City has changed drastically will soon spread among the family guards and mercenaries.
Heratili mentioned whether to unilaterally block remote transmissions with Kartim City and delay the spread of the news as much as possible, but Mo Bei also did not agree, saying that doing so would make these people feel that they were deliberately deceived. It is not conducive to future mobilization and win-over.
Fortunately, the situation in the Spider Forest has already reached a decisive close combat, and the people on Conrad's side should not react much, so there is no worry here for the time being.
Those Gu-refined giant spiders have been trained with great efforts, devoured a large number of corpses of the same and different species, and enhanced with witch-Gu drugs. Each one has extremely fierce strength.
Less than a month after they were released into the forest, the spider swarms that were originally squabbling in the Spider Forest gradually stabilized. Judging from the situation in the past two days, most of them have successfully replaced the spiders that originally competed out naturally. Finally, he began to control the still extremely large number of giant spiders.
Eco has also been keeping an eye on the spider forest during this period, and he should be trying to mobilize the spider swarm to execute various instructions.
Kane's first reaction after hearing the news was to mobilize manpower to support Mo Bei and the others.
However, it only takes more than ten days to get here if you go south from Kartim City with smooth wind and water. The return journey takes more than three or four times as much time as the journey here. After all, the land route is ups and downs and the terrain is complex, so it cannot be like rafting by boat. Can travel day and night.
Kane rubbed his bald forehead helplessly, feeling that as the last descendant of the Horadrim clan, he could only help Mo Bei and the others too little, and he felt very ashamed.
In fact, the Horadrim clan was able to complete the feat of hunting the three demons back then, that is, because there were many capable people, a strong team, and big bosses who continued to provide help in secret. Now he is the only one left, and he is old and often It’s normal to feel overwhelmed but not strong enough.
He judged that Mo Bei and the others should have come into contact with the Holy See. However, in fact, at this time, Mo Bei and others had returned to the royal capital from Alkanas. Almost all the guards in the mining area were mobilized to accompany them, following behind the family master Conrad. Stroll to the huge square in front of Sadenko Cathedral.
They and the remaining Zakarum Holy See are finally going to give it a try.
