Chapter 24: Half-Ambush
Tristram is located north of King's Harbour, separated by a vast plain of forest, and the best way to safely cross this plain is to take the Knights of Branwell to the west, and then from Westmar's trade route to Dunclave, which is now the noble district of King's Port.
However, No. 1 and the other four black-robed people relied on the identity and strong strength of the evil deed, and directly entered the forest sea from the Xiangguo Plain outside the King's Port, taking the shortest straight road between the two places.
When they come, they will cross without hindrance, and they will naturally not change direction when they return, after all, the level of the leading No. 2 and more than eighty is not good-looking.
The most numerous monsters in the forest sea are the various beasts polluted by the energy of hell, and the "Amanit" who once inhabited the vast forests of the western realm.
The Armanites are a sub-human species, and like the cat-people and dwarfs, their race has been polluted by the energy of hell.
This subhuman race is actually a centaur that Xue Hua was more familiar with in his previous life, they lived in jungles and plains, lived in groups, loved peace, and were upright by nature, and had a good relationship with the knights of the Branwell Knight Territory before being polluted by the energy of hell, and even the Knight Leader once allowed the centaurs to participate in the training of the knights.
Unfortunately, later the invasion of Hell broke out, and the centaurs were not fully protected by the will of the world because they belonged to the sub-human race, they were polluted by the energy of hell, and a large number of Armani tribes deviated from their nature and began to become enemies of humans, and even ate on human flesh.
Since then, the Limhai Plain has become dangerous.
The people of King's Harbor are generally far away from the woods, and the border of the Xiangguo Plain in the south of the forest sea has been built by King's Harbor to build a tight sentry defense, and most of the most elite "Shining Aegis" professional legions in the entire King's Harbor are stationed on this defense line close to the forest.
In the eyes of the inhabitants of King's Harbor, only a madman would bypass the safe trade route to Branwell and choose to travel through the Limhai, and since Tristram was completely overrun by demons, there was little more to go on the Limhi side.
But at this time, in the Linhai Plain, there happened to be such a few madmen marching quickly through this vast forest.
They were dressed in black robes, and each rode an Amani at the crotch, and they were walking through the jungle through these four-hoofed tribes who knew the forest.
These people, of course, are the second group that returned from Tristram, and they rely on their identity as evil pacters to drive the monsters in the forest to do things for them at will, and the Armanians are one of the "monster services".
"Senior No. 2, who is the 'guy under the imperial tomb' that Senior No. 7 said before?" The shorter No. 24 was riding on the back of the Amanite horse, and finally could not hold back the curiosity in his heart, and asked No. 2 in front of him.
"You guy, there are so many questions, won't you go back and look through the history books yourself?
Since that guy is buried in the royal mausoleum in Tristram, don't you know who he is? ”
Number Two reprimanded the guy impatiently.
This twenty-four, because he has not been selected for a long time, although the level has grown rapidly with the help of surgery, but all kinds of experience are too little, so it is better to hurry up and practice, otherwise it will be very troublesome when he needs to go out and take charge alone......
"Uh... Oh......" Twenty-Four let out a somewhat aggrieved oh, and then hung his head and didn't speak.
No. 2 saw that the reprimand just now seemed to be a little heavier, so he sighed a little helplessly and explained to him: "There is a reason for letting you go back to the history books, Tristram is a principality of the Kingdom of Westmar in history, and there is only one king here from beginning to end, and that is King Leorik, who took over as the head of the principality as a paladin. ”
"Leorik?!" Twenty-four looked up in surprise, it seemed that he also knew this terrible story.
However, the story of the "Black Mad King" Leorik is well known to everyone in the Western Realm, and it is precisely because he was lured to the fall by Diablo that the entire Tristram has completely become a demonic paradise.
"Yes, it's Leoric, now you know who the so-called 'guy under the Imperial Tomb' is referring to, right?"
Number Two nodded, his expression a little serious.
When it comes to the entire First World that makes them have scruples about the "Evolution Church", the "Black Mad Lord" Leorik can definitely be regarded as one of them, this guy is one of the few super powerhouses in the First World who exists in his true form and has broken through the boundaries of legends.
Although Leoric could not leave its catacombs due to the will of the First World World, the sheer power of this creature in Tristram City alone was enough to make people feel terrified.
Frankly speaking, if it weren't for the fact that they were all evil pacters after undergoing surgery, and were Leorik's natural allies, they really wouldn't have dared to build a secret stronghold under the big guy's nose.
Thinking of this, Number Two couldn't help but smile wryly and shook his head.
The current strength of their "Evolution Church" is still too thin, although they have the help of various "holy relics" left in the ruins by the "God", but after all, the foundation is still shallow, and they can't compete with those behemoths!
They must be hidden deeper, and now they are in a dormant period, but they must not be discovered by the enemies of the God of Evolution!
Just as Number Two was thinking this, there was a faint "snort" from the bushes beside them.
Distracted No. 2 reacted only half a beat slower, and a prickly rain of needles like flying locusts surged out of the trees!
Boom Boom Boom Boom !!!!
The flames of the explosion needles activated instantly drowned the black-clothed men of the four Evolution Churches, and countless shockwaves mixed with the fragments of the needles scattered in all directions, clearing a large burning clearing from the dense woods in the blink of an eye.
"Bastard! There is an ambush! Two's terrible roar was only then heard, but it was too late for his companions behind him.
Two of the four black-robed men were torn to pieces on the spot by the dense rain of explosions, including the little man No. 24 who had been asking questions, and the only one who was still alive was No. 2, who had reached level 73.
Moreover, although Seventeen is still alive, it is clear that he is also in a bad situation, his entire lower body is gone, and half of his face has been cut into a fragmented puzzle by the shrapnel of the ratchet needles scattered like raindrops.
Such an injury is quite serious even for the evil pact with a professional advantage, although he did not die on the spot, but whether he can be saved after drinking the recovery potion depends on the will of heaven.
"Damn! Who the hell is it!? Seeing that the three brothers who came out with him were two dead and one seriously injured in the blink of an eye, No. 2, who had never experienced such a heavy loss, suddenly turned red-eyed.
However, what made him even more depressed was that he had no idea who the attackers were and what they were attacking them for.
This kind of grievance that I don't know why I was beaten and didn't know why dared to make No. 2 feel very uncomfortable.
