Chapter 59 Shadow World
Deep in the Renver Mountains, Modrian half-squatted on the frozen brown soil, holding the fine soil in his hand and rubbing it gently, as if he had some different feelings, partly cold and partly frozen into the skin.
The hourglass-like soil slid down from the palm of your hand. Modrian slapped his palm a few times, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the shadow forest that was close to him, the place where he had experienced sorrow.
Looking at it, it was only two or three meters apart, but it seemed like two different worlds.
The place where Modrian is located has a faint glory, which is set against the cleanliness of snowflakes and the plain silvery mountains are full of pale colors.
The forest ten feet away is a shadow world, with no colorful colors, and even the plain snow is submerged, only the dim and hazy gray.
"Sir, what are you looking at?" Poppy looked up at Modrian in front of him, then looked at the shadow forest not far away, and said with a cute brow.
"There is an inexplicable feeling of disgust, very uncomfortable, it seems that countless souls are crying!?"
Hearing this, Modrian looked down at the short Yoder, whose innocent blue face was covered with some wind and frost, and his golden and gray armor was stained with snowflakes and dust.
Judging from the attributes in League of Legends, Poppy's power nature tends toward light, which makes her feel uncomfortable, may really be as she said, with strange powers of darkness and soul nature.
Recalling the unusual scene of the last time and the dark murmurs echoing deep in the soul, Modrian affirmed Poppy's guess in his heart.
"Can you sense what situation specifically?" Modrian asked.
"Sorry, sir, I can only vaguely feel the existence of disgust. The specific situation is unclear." Poppy said with shame, shaking his ponytails.
Standing silently for a while, Modrian turned around and left. In addition to Poppy's company, there were dozens of Noxus soldiers in the narrow area behind him, and he was building a temporary camp with a clear division of labor.
The Renwall Mountains are too vast. With the current strength of the Fort Worde, they can only open up a relatively safe route. This is also the path that the Noxus Empire cavalry fought day and night.
Compared with the previous exploration journey, this time I have sufficient preparations. I have to mention the army of the Noxus Empire (troop).
The army owned by the Noxus Empire can be said to be the largest army in the Valoran continent, including both elite troops, such as the Choifali Legion, and hundreds of battle groups that fought independently locally.
Each battle group is led by its own leader, general and captain, with its own unique culture, hierarchy and combat preferences. The battle group can form a larger group of battles and is responsible for a specific field division of labor. It may be assigned to the frontline commando, heavy infantry, scout, assassin or cavalry as long as it matches their skills.
Therefore, there is almost no consistency in the ranks of the ranks, whether it is the Choifali Legion, the war stonemason and the Noxus Blood Cavalry.
The Noxus Empire encouraged and accepted the talents of soldiers rather than forced them to adopt specific means of war.
For example, the scout characteristics of the war stonemason, the heavy armor of the Noxus Blood Cavalry, and the most elite soldiers of the Choi Falli Legion, all have their own unique combat style.
This is the exploration team that went deep into the Renver Mountains, consisting of 5 war stonemasons, 12 Noxus Blood Cavalry and 10 Treofary Legion soldiers, as well as three heroes, Dryus, Sain and Poppy.
Due to the mountainous terrain, the Noxus Blood Cavalry abandoned their war horses and became heavy infantrymen. The increase in the number of people comes from the summoning of 300 victory points, and a top-level army consumes 50 victory points.
"Sir Modrian, the danger has been cleared around you." In the temporary camp, Vosmann stepped forward and said respectfully after seeing Modrian.
"Driath and Syne? Why didn't you see them in the camp?" Modrian asked in confusion, looking at the busy Noxus soldiers around him.
Worthman smiled bitterly, and a hint of helplessness appeared in his eyes under the black armor, and he whispered: "The two generals took the lead in the shadow forest ahead, and they will come back soon as agreed time."
"Okay, then you can arrange for a vigil." Modrien frowned slightly, patted Worthman on the shoulder, and said softly. After all, as the leader of the Trifalley Legion, the soldiers under his command could not stop him from doing anything.
He also knew what Drayus meant very clearly. The dangerous situation encountered on his last exploration trip was still vivid in his mind. Drayus wanted to enter the Shadow Forest first to explore.
In the center of the temporary camp, a bonfire was burning, and the warm flames baked everyone's bodies and dispelled the cold and low temperatures.
Poppy was imitating the person in front of him, sitting upright with Oren's hammer on his knees, but compared her short body, it was a bit funny and funny.
"Didn't you see the black mist when you go in this time?" Modrian asked Drayus at the bonfire in confusion. He saw Poppy's learning and deeds, and did not point it out, because the nature of the Yodel people was like this.
"No." Dryus nodded, and ripples appeared in his dark pupils. He was recalling the scenes he saw in the Shadow Forest, fearing that something would be missed.
The dull atmosphere surrounds the bonfire, and only the sound of flames burning echoes.
"Prepare the arrangements and follow the original plan and start entering the Shadow Forest tomorrow." Modrian pondered for a while and finally made a decision.
For this trip to explore the Renver Mountains, Modrian spent a lot of energy and supplies, and there was no reason to stop moving forward when he fell.
What's more, the power he possesses is far from comparable to last time. There are 21 Noxus soldiers with the strength of a knight alone.
"Yes!" Dryus stood up and left, leaving Syne and Poppy with Modrian, which was actually the responsibility of upward protection.
"Don't worry, sir, Poppy will protect you." After Dryus left, the short Yoder quickly raised the Hammer of Oren in his hand and stood in front of Modrian, with a cute smile on his blue face.
The crisp sound broke the solemn atmosphere. Modrian smiled, rubbed Poppy's off-white hair, and whispered: "Okay, I'll stand behind you."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Poppy nodded repeatedly, his eyes like purple crystal flashing with a firm look.
The faint nightfall came to the Renver Mountains, and Modrian did not sleep peacefully. He looked at the lush leaves covering the starry sky above his head, and was a little confused, hoping that everything would go smoothly in this trip.
