Chapter 185: Dark Elf Kingdom, Kwaken Town
Kelvin, who was far away from the team, picked up the wolf hair on the ground and sniffed it. As a wolf subhuman, he had encountered various demonized wolves, but this kind of smell was strange and had never smelled before, a little fishy smell mixed with a little sea water...
"We can't find any clues here. We'll stay here tonight," Leonard said in a loud voice. "Perhaps we can get other valuable information by fighting with the monsters."
Merlin put his hands behind his back and smiled wickedly: "Among us, there are three people with sensitive noses, including me. You three humans, are you unable to find anything and are only thinking about fighting monsters?"
"Listen to my advice. Guild President Ling Yi and Lady Saint also know about the Magic Group's advance layout and the extraterritorial space channel they opened. We are only here to investigate, not to fight and kill."
Jako walked behind everyone and said, "Now is not the time to argue. We have been here for more than an hour and have found some special traces. The monsters from outside the domain may not return to the places they have already attacked. I suggest that we should go to the nearest town."
Everyone looked at each other, and after a moment's silence, Kelvin agreed, but the leader was Merlin, and everyone wanted to see his expression before acting.
Merlin: "That won't work. The Dark Elves don't accept outsiders very much. If we go there, we might end up in trouble! It's precisely because of the Dark Elves' narrow-mindedness that their national-level strongmen were plotted against by the Magic Group. Now, please go find them... Go to the village closest to the town."
At dusk...
The six people flew low over the endless woods, crossed several mountain ranges, and arrived at the town of Quacken, a city with a population of two million hidden in three huge mountains. The three mountains isolated the west, south, and north.
The three peaks are nearly two thousand meters high, with steep terrain and many vertical cliffs over three hundred meters high. At the entrance on the east side is a thirteen-meter-high and three-kilometer-long city wall with three gates.
The six people came to a village three kilometers away from the town of Kuaken. The village was also deserted, and there were many remains of the dark elves buried under the ruins that had not been cleaned up in time.
"This place is so weird. These monsters don't seem to eat the people here..." Nicholas said, pointing at the ruins full of flying insects.
There were strange wolf howls coming from near the village, and countless birds left the dense forest...
The guards of Quaken Town heard the wolf howls and took action, with a large number of soldiers arriving at the city's border.
There are more than a hundred adventurers in Quacken Town, all of whom are at the beginner level. The city’s defenders only have more than 5,800 people, and the strongest general is only at the intermediate level.
The ten griffins flying in the sky and the ten junior third-level magicians are the entire strength of the town of Quacken.
Merlin sighed, "We have to defend this town for more than ten hours every night. The number of people they have is not enough..."
Leonard was puzzled: "Our magic sensing range is only ten kilometers. Where is their city lord? The strength of the city lord is usually not weaker than that of the generals!"
Nearby, ten ferocious six-legged dark fire three-headed wolves broke into the ruined village. Their huge size contrasted with the nearby woods. The three-meter-thick trees were as fragile to them as a sugarcane forest.
The necks of the three wolves were not covered with fluttering hair, but a ball of dark fire that seemed to have no temperature. They had four hind legs, so they moved faster than human war horses.
Leonard quickly drew out the greatsword behind him, infused it with fire magic, and took heavy steps.
call!
A powerful fire storm easily killed the six monsters as big as rhinos in front of them.
After the monster fell to the ground, its magic core flew out and entered Leonard's body, but the monster's remains were instantly devoured by the black flames. Nothing was left after the devouring, and even the black flames gradually dissipated.
Jako also took out his sword, which was a mid-level magic sword made by the Saint's Guild. After being enchanted with light element magic, it killed two monsters in one strike. The remaining two also died after three seconds.
Jako's swordsmanship drew out four straight white halos. Even after the monster disappeared, the four halos lingering in the air still did not dissipate.
Night has come.
"No matter how many we kill, it's hard to figure out where they came from. There's too little information left. We might as well look for them based on the dilapidated state of the ruins!" said Arthur, who had been silent for a long time.
But Merlin refuted it with one sentence.
"This will take a lot of time. As you can see, these are just elementary monsters, yet they are so strange. Their strength is so strong that it is not something that ordinary magicians of the same level can handle."
As he spoke, hundreds of six-legged dark fire three-headed wolves rushed to the main gate of Kuaken Town.
The height of the city wall blocked their attacks, but these monsters seemed to have some intelligence. They held stones and wood in their mouths, stacked them outside the city wall, and blocked the closed city gates.
The soldiers on the city defense launched elemental magic attacks one after another, trying to repel them with a intensive offensive.
"Alpha wolf! Find the alpha wolf quickly! Don't let these guys destroy our home! Hold on!" A general on the city wall shouted. The stone pile under the city was already three meters high, and its range was constantly expanding.
The few people far down the mountain were already frightened when they saw the scene at the main gate diagonally opposite!
"I didn't expect it! These monsters from outside the domain are so intelligent. They came near us just now, probably looking for materials!" Kelvin said in panic, "We should go and help them. If they continue like this, they will definitely suffer heavy losses tonight."
Merlin, standing aside calmly, was observing carefully.
"Leonard, I leave it to you. The rest of you, please rest where you are. There is no need to go over. With so many high-level magicians showing up at once, we will be the invaders to them. I will now formulate an action plan for tomorrow. We must find the extraterritorial space passage in the shortest possible time."
Leonard nodded, and the red magic cloak flew high into the sky with a rustling sound, speeding up to the main gate of Quacken Town.
boom!
An explosive bombardment of fire elements destroyed more than a dozen six-legged dark fire three-headed wolves.
On the city wall, everyone looked up at the sky in surprise.
Three griffons approached, and the rider saw Leonard's mysterious figure.
After getting closer, the three were particularly shocked. It turned out to be a high-level third-level magic swordsman. The magic just now was just an ordinary spell attack, and he didn't even move the sword.
"Excuse me, your Excellency..."
"I am a member of the Saint's Hope Guild," Leonard said, "I am here to investigate the chaos in your country..."
During the conversation, Leonard promised to exchange some information with them and support them for one night.
Another fireball was released, scattering the wolves on the ground.
Merlin was in a dilapidated building, recording the information he had learned.
A six-legged dark fire three-headed wolf, whose strength is close to that of an intermediate monster, with a body size of six meters and a movement speed of...
Death leaves no trace...
They are able to use tools in an organized manner and only act at night, which may be related to the moon.
