Chapter 454: Slime's Expedition(1/2)

Aralon Island, five miles outside Kalidir, Luskan temporary camp.

Since yesterday, with the news that the Northland coalition forces composed of Water City, Silvermoon Federation and Minas Tirith broke through Cliff Hill and continued their march north towards Luskan, the news inevitably spread among the army.

The Luskans, who had been unable to capture King Kendik's capital for a long time, saw their military strength drop to freezing point.

Even during the truce, one can still feel the anxiety spreading among the army.

Although the superiors immediately mobilized a fleet from other islands to return to Luskan, they still had difficulty suppressing this negative sentiment.

The Luskan soldiers who were receiving meals from the cooking barracks were munching on the tasteless potato and grass root soup while cursing incoherently the officers who had secretly withheld military rations, when their feet suddenly seemed to step on something.

The sticky stuff made a sizzling sound.

The soldier, who thought he had stepped on shit, frowned and slowly raised his foot, only to see a frog that had been stepped on and had its eyes protruding and its tongue sticking out, looking funny.

His face, which looked as if he had eaten a fly, suddenly turned from gloomy to clear. He picked up the unfortunate frog with a smile, prepared to wash it, string it up, and roast it on the bonfire, as a reward for his stomach, which had suffered so much during this period.

Bah.

But the next moment, the frog corpse in his hand slipped from his fingertips, and the potato, grass root and salted fish soup in his hand was almost unsteady. He covered his mouth in fear and murmured:

"My God, what is going on?"

Just as he was uttering this unbelievable exclamation, more and more colleagues were shouting in horror.

As he looked around, he saw densely packed small creatures such as frogs, grasshoppers, mice, crabs, insects, snakes, and birds walking across the grass.

It was as if an endless black river suddenly appeared on the land.

Both the terrifying quantity and density are enough to cause some trypophobia patients to die on the spot.

If it's just a small group of biota migrating, I'm afraid these hungry and hungry Luskan soldiers will be very happy to accept them and thank God for the gift. If the stew can't be stewed in one pot, two rows of barbecue grills can be added.

But how many are there in front of you? Tens of thousands? Hundreds of thousands or millions?

In the knowledge that some military mages have come into contact with, it seems that only large-scale disasters such as earthquakes can see such a huge biological migration phenomenon.

It is said that they can sense some subtle omens in advance that humans cannot sense.

Fortunately, this craze of creatures went away just as quickly as it came. After a short while, only sporadic frog sounds were left resounding in the jungle bushes.

The Luskan soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and began to pray that there would really be a big earthquake... No, a moderate earthquake would happen.

Anyway, they were camping on the vast grassland, so even if there was an earthquake, there wouldn't be much damage, but those damn Yueying Island natives were different.

They sincerely wished that an earthquake would strike and directly collapse the city of Kalidir. That would be the best.

This way they don't have to keep stuffing themselves into this meat grinder shrouded in mystery.

It's a pity that after waiting for a long time, not to mention the earthquake, the sound of colleagues farting was considered big, until the bad news suddenly came from the supply camp that made everyone's scalp numb:

A group of rats that just passed by ate up most of their small food reserves!

Now I am afraid that the original potato, grass, root and fish soup will be reduced by half, leaving only salted fish and grass...

The army made a temporary decision to end the intermission and collectively go to the sea to fish to replenish the army's food reserves.

For a time, there was a wailing in the army.

What they didn't know was that this biological craze originated from Quines Island in the south, passed through the Moon Shadow Strait, and crossed Aralon Island. After entering the sea, they transformed into a crowd of koo-toa fish, and moved faster.

The swordfish and tuna embarked on a mighty journey across the two-hundred-mile Sword Bay.

Every time they move forward a hundred feet, at least thirty more will be left waiting in this area, just like a cross-sea tunnel project that never ends and continues to advance.

Such a magnificent biota will naturally attract a large number of predators and even enemies, such as narwhals, sahuagin, and so on.

Slimes were dying almost every moment, and more came from all over the Sword Coast, from Amn, from Tethyr, from the Sword Sea, from Calishan, to fill their vacant positions.

To ensure that the number of similar types in a certain distance space remains within an equally stable interval.

This majestic expedition that took place in the deep sea was no less than the siege that was taking place on Yueying Island. No, it was even more brutal and brutal than the human battlefield.

Here, it is survival of the fittest, and the dead are eaten!

After a majestic expedition that lasted three days, this group of slimes who seemed to never tire of answering their mission even unconsciously surpassed the ghost fleet returning to Luskan, leaving them far behind.

A small dolphin at the front jumped out of the sea. The kuo-toa man riding on its back opened its somewhat sleepy and bloodshot eyes, and through the clear water droplets illuminated by the sun, he saw a bustling human settlement.

harbor:

Jishui City!

The fishman couldn't help but grin the corners of his mouth full of fangs, waved the coral fork in his hand forward, and let out an exciting war cry:

"Googa!"

"Googa!!!"

"Oh~oh~oh~oh~"

There was also a little seal that became a successful dog and directly knocked the fishman riding on its head into a ball.

Behind them, there is a "cross-sea bridge" composed of dozens of millions of the same kind that spans the entire Sword Bay of Yueying Island, using their flesh and blood, thoughts and beliefs!

The completion of this 'bridge' is already very close.

...

Moon Shadow Island, Leap of Justice trial battlefield, Oslan Mountains.

The original team of 347 people was now left with only 23 thin figures walking hard on this snow-covered mountain top. They were all 'died' on the dangerous journey.

After seeing the number and terrifying fighting power of that group of demons, Levi completely gave up the idea of ​​leading people to fight all the way across the Tumis Plains.

That is no different than taking more than 300 rookies across a weakened version of the bloody battlefield, and it is still the kind where everyone is the enemy, and there is absolutely no way to survive.

Even if he managed to break through the siege and reach Solharn alone, it wouldn't make much sense.

What will he do with his "red blood and empty blue" then to fight against those Luskans wearing "God's Envoy" vests?

What's even more troublesome is that their 'resurrection point' has been taken away...

In order to avoid the attention of those demons, they had to detour all the way through the Oslan Mountains, but he still underestimated the danger of this mountain road.

As a mountain range located in the hinterland of the continent, Oslang is also one of the few high-altitude mountains, with an average altitude of about five or six kilometers.

The elves, who are as thin as a goose, are a race that is particularly resistant to cold. Just walking in the snowy mountains full of cold fog, their bodies will slowly be covered with frost flowers, even if they shake off the frost and snow every once in a while.

, it won’t be long before it will be covered with snow and frost again.

Some people suddenly lose a few toes while walking, and some people tremble and make no sound.

To make matters worse, they were constantly blocked by winter wolves halfway through.

Li Wei couldn't help but feel like he was a loser, and he secretly scolded Tier for doing nothing but human affairs.

Forget about the empire and the demon army, even this kind of "neutral creature" will automatically attack them!

This is not realistic at all!

Winter wolves are extremely intelligent creatures, especially the alpha wolf.

If we find a relatively strong team like Levi, we may not choose to provoke them at all.

And even if they try to attack, they will only harass them day and night until they are physically and mentally exhausted before striking a fatal blow. How could they carry out such a suicide attack like the Taliban elements.

If winter wolves had this kind of behavior, they would be extinct long ago.

Although the 'planner' Tyr was not a human being, and this 'crappy game' was rotten to the core, in order to solve the mystery of the Luskan people's iron fortress, they had no choice but to proceed without hesitation.

In order to take the initiative to preserve Li Wei's 'state', everyone took the initiative to assume their responsibilities and faced the 'death' that would come sooner or later without hesitation.

This even includes Herbert, Hammer, and Cenarion.

This is the first time they have experienced death in such a real way.

'So...is this what death feels like?'

It's like being immersed in a deep sea without a trace of light, struggling painfully and futilely to drift with the current, and the mind is constantly being pulled away from the body until... it becomes blank.

But just when the thought 'Oh, I'm dead' popped up, they gasped and 'alive' again in the temple of nature.

Then, just like the comrades who 'died' early, their eyes were divergent, remembering life, looking thoughtful and gaining something.

With the Tree of Life destroyed, there is no point in them continuing to enter the 'trial battlefield' other than to die.

But Herbert was still a little strange as to why the lord kept them on standby at the Natural Temple.

Is there any way His Majesty Levi can allow them to enter safely and continue fighting?

At this moment, a "beep beep beep beep beep" sound came from the Natural Temple.

Herbert turned around in confusion and saw hundreds of slimes sneaking into the temple at some point.

One of them even jumped onto his shoulder, extending its small tentacles to greet him very politely.

"Mugh~"

Then it jumped onto his head with a chirp.

Then, the confused gazes of Herbert and the others seemed to melt on their heads, and at the same time, there were waves of slight numbness in the back of their heads, as if they had been electrocuted.

The next moment, he suddenly had an illusion...
To be continued...
