Chapter 842: Monster Siege (Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription, ask for a recommendation)

Water trolls are a huge threat to inland waterway vessels like them. Riverboats are not better than sea boats, the situation in the river is much better than at sea, and there are no even slightly larger wind and waves, so riverboats are flat-bottomed, structurally speaking, they are not stronger than sea boats, and if they encounter water trolls, they will be destroyed and killed, so once this kind of monster appears in the water, the towns along the river will try their best to clear them.

After all, the towns along the way also rely on the river for food, and of course they can't tolerate monsters smashing their jobs. It is precisely because of this that the Ascatra River has always been peaceful. That's why the owner of the ship is scared like that.

Since he couldn't figure out what was going on here, Soram didn't plan to dig deeper, and it should be something that the Amm government should care about, and it wasn't Solam's turn to go over.

"How far are we from Creemore?" The beginning and end of shipping in the Ascatra River basin are in Cremur, although the Ascatra River is not so short, but if you go upstream to Cremur, the Ascatra River is not so friendly, many monsters in the river are upstream, and at the same time, the upstream Ascatra River has become extremely turbulent, and it is not so easy to go upstream.

"It's not far, it's not far, there's still half a day's journey away!" The owner of the ship seemed to be afraid that Soram would disembark now, and after encountering the water trolls, the owner instinctively felt that the previously calm Ascatra River was no longer safe, and if he wanted to hold on to his possessions, it was better to keep these people on board.

*****************

Half a day later, Cremmor appeared in front of Solam and them, but unlike the rumors in the past, there was no scene of hundreds of ships competing with each other, only corpses and ship debris floating on the river.

The city not far away is now full of smoke and devastation, and there is no prosperous scene to be seen at all.

"Wolkin is on top! What the hell is going on here? Before I set off, the city was still in good condition! The owner of the ship grabbed his hat and shouted in disbelief as he watched the mess ahead.

It seems that the owner of the ship is a Cremmour.

Soram silently glanced at the ship's owner and some of the crew who were panicking there, and then gave Trism a look and told him to be careful, the situation in front of him was not a good sign, if something special happened, let him lead someone to protect Isabella and Lilith first.

Soon, the ship approached the dock, and when they approached the pier, they found that the situation on the shore was much worse than they had imagined.

Anything that could be called a building was destroyed throughout the dock, and the ruins of those buildings were even burning, billowing smoke that made it look like a battlefield. In the midst of the ruins, there were many people who were busy at work, either cleaning up the corpses lying on the ground or putting out the fires.

When Solam and the others docked, these people didn't care at all, but quietly went about their business, and the scene was very depressing.

After docking, the ship's owners and sailors jumped from the boat as fast as they could, and they did not even put down the pedals that connected the ship to the dock. As soon as they got off the boat, they chased people and asked them where their families were and what was going on here.

However, none of their inquiries were answered, and all of them seemed very silent and did not want to speak at all. This attitude made both the sailor and the owner of the ship cry, because this attitude did not bode well.

Finally, just as they were about to collapse, a man who resembled a dock official recognized the shipowner.

"Nick Young? You're back?!!! ”

As soon as the owner of the ship saw this official-looking person, he immediately grabbed the man as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and asked incoherently, "Master Banji!! What's going on here? What about my wife? Have you seen my family? ”

The surrounding sailors also rushed up and asked about their families, making the old man Banji a little unsure of who to answer.

"Quiet! Your families are safe, they're all in town! Before the attack began, the lord sent someone to let the civilians on the docks take refuge in the city. As for you, Nick Young, your family already lives in the city, so it's even more unlikely. ”

Hearing this, everyone's mood calmed down a bit. Some of them even ran to the city as soon as they heard this. At that time, the shipowner, Nick Young, and some of the sailors whose families had already lived in the city had the leisure to care about what was going on here.

Hearing such an inquiry, the old man of Banji sighed and said to Nick and the others: "It's also your luck that you will only come back today, if you come a day earlier, you will not be so lucky." ”

"What the hell is going on?" Seeing how serious Mr. Benji had said, Nick Young was even more eager to know what had happened.

"Monster Siege!"

"What?"

"Impossible! It's Cremmour! ”

"That's right! We haven't had anything like this happen here for a hundred or two years, right? ”

In Faeron, the land that humans and other intelligent races can control is actually very limited, and more land is still in a state of wilderness, and these lands have always been home to monsters. It's not that humans and other intelligent races don't want to expand their lands, it's that they don't have enough strength in their hearts. And the reason is also because of those monsters.

With the wilderness full of monsters, the cost of reclaiming wasteland is simply too great. So if you really want to talk about it, on the mainland, it is still the goblins, kobolds, gnolls, ogres, trolls and other monsters that have the advantage. For no other reason, there are too many of them, and most of the monsters are far more fertile and survivable than the intelligent races, which makes these monsters always "wildfires that can't be burned and the spring breeze blows and grows".

Even if you exterminate a batch this year, at the beginning of spring next year, these monsters will emerge like weeds again, and you can't kill them all.

And when there are many monsters in the wild to a certain extent, a monster siege will occur. But this situation generally happens in those border cities, or emerging cities, highly developed cities like Cremur, generally speaking, it took hundreds of years of development to reach this level, and the surrounding monsters have also been wiped out for many years, or migrated, after all, monsters are not unintelligent beasts, and even if they are beasts, they should know how to run away after being slaughtered for many years.

So generally speaking, it is impossible to say that there are no monsters around a city like Cremur, but it is absolutely impossible to form a monster siege scale, and it is really vegetarian to garrison the city army?

"I don't know why the monsters are attacking the city, but I can tell you responsibly that what I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can ask the others! After saying this, the old man of Banji left with people.

He's so busy right now that he doesn't have time to grind his teeth with them.
