Chapter 1630: Assembly Number
In the darkness, a little bit of fluorescent light came on first, and suddenly a group of small creatures rushed out of the darkness. This is a place like a square in the center of the street. The group of dwarves rushed out of several damaged buildings. Just as they reached the center of the street, red, cyan, and blue lights suddenly lit up in the darkness. The red lights are fireballs, the size of a fist, and their power is average, but they are more numerous, and they are densely packed like a shower. The cyan ones were a few light spears aimed at the strongest dwarves as chest stabs. The blue ones were two electric whips, one from the left and the other from the right, and swept across, not letting a dwarf go.
The fireball fell first, causing the dwarves to scream, and the firelight also illuminated these creatures that lived deep underground for many years. Their eyes have degenerated, and the two eyes are as small as mung beans, more decorative than practical. Their limbs are short, their skin is wrinkled like a newborn baby, and they all use primitive weapons. Short knives, wooden shields, catapults, and blow darts may not seem to be very threatening, but in the hands of these nimble guys, they can often cause a lot of damage to adventurers. But now, before the dwarves could give full play to their advantages, they were blasted out of formation in the rain of fire. Several of the strongest dwarf fighters were pierced by light spears, and the rest were swept away by two lightning bolts that intersected left and right. The whip was whipped until his whole body was as black as charred coal.
After these dwarfs were all dead, the fire was lit, and then a group of people marched to the field. The leader was a middle-aged swordsman, and behind him were seven or eight warriors with swords and guns, all of whom had a gray storm symbol on their costumes. The middle-aged swordsman made a gesture, and two men went among the dwarf corpses and cut off their ears as trophies.
"Captain Lowe, this time we have cleaned up the block, and we will definitely get a good reward from Mr. Eligo when we go back." A soldier with a spear said with a smile.
The unsmiling middle-aged swordsman Mu Na nodded and said: "If there are no accidents, the reward this time is enough for the expansion of our Gray Storm Mercenary Corps."
"Maybe we can annex one or two small mercenary regiments, which will be more conducive to development." A bearded man with a double ax next to him suggested.
"We'll talk about everything when we go back."
Two hours later, they returned from the dark dungeon to the brightly lit camp. This is the eleventh floor of the Blood King Cemetery. More than a year ago, the empire opened up the exploration rights of the eleventh floor to all adventurers, and established a frontline camp to be used as a resting place for adventurers. Eligo, the fire lion general who is stationed in the cemetery, even marked the price of the creatures in the cemetery on the eleventh floor. As long as the adventurer brings back the corresponding certificate of military exploits, he will get the reward he deserves. For more than a year, Eligo has been very trustworthy in this regard, so more mercenary groups and adventurers have poured into the cemetery. Under the development and exploration of a large number of people, the cemetery on this floor was almost wiped out. A mercenary group like Gray Storm is nothing more than a middle and low-level group in this cemetery, but the battle exploits that can wipe out a block are enough for them to exchange for the cost of expanding the mercenary group.
Back in the tent that belonged to Gray Storm in the camp, just after sorting out the certificates of military exploits, Lowe heard the sound of assembly horns sounding outside. He frowned. It wasn't many times that he asked all mercenary groups and all adventurers to gather like this. The last time he found a powerful monster in the cemetery, he needed to gather a large number of people to fight together. And that was already half a year ago. In this year, the number of all gatherings like this did not exceed three times.
"What's going on?" The deputy head looked worried: "Did you find another scary guy?"
Lowe was also in a heavy heart. The last time a large number of mercenaries and adventurers were assembled to fight against the monster, each group suffered varying losses. Gray Storm also sacrificed half of its members at the time, and after half a year of recruitment, it was barely able to recover. I didn't expect to receive such a collection number again after half a year.
"Go, go and have a look."
Lowe took his long sword and left the camp with the deputy head. On the square of the camp, a row of soldiers who killed the fire lion separated the square,
Only the head and deputy head are eligible to enter the square. After Luo Wei showed his proof, he walked into the square with the deputy head. A high platform was set up on the square, and after all the regiment leaders had arrived, the horn changed again, and after the passionate trumpet sounded three times in a row, someone stepped onto the high platform.
"Lord Eligo?" Lowe said softly, "It seems that there is something important to announce."
The last assembly was only made by Andy, the lieutenant of the Fire Lion, who showed up to explain. Now that Ellie is on the high platform, it is obvious that things are not normal. As a result, the atmosphere in the square is even more dignified.
After Ellie glanced at the crowd, he said in a deep voice: "It has been more than a year since the opening of the cemetery on this floor. During this time, due to the outstanding performance of everyone, the square on the eleventh floor It is about to be wiped out. At this time, I should have given out more things to reward everyone after the cemetery has been completely cleaned up. But now, I can’t do that. Everyone, the empire is experiencing an unprecedented situation. We need everyone's strength."
Lowe and the deputy captain looked at each other. In fact, before that, he had already heard the reason why there were invaders in the empire, and many mercenary regiments had withdrawn from the Bleeding King's Cemetery one after another in the past two months, and turned to other battlefields. However, Eligo never mentioned the intruders, and the mercenaries and adventurers didn't pay much attention. But now Eligo needs to gather the leaders of all the groups to announce the matter. It seems that the empire has reached a critical moment.
Eligo coughed dryly, and said: "Don't get me wrong, the crisis of the empire this time does not come from those invaders from the east. Although the invaders from the Panlong Empire are powerful, they are not enough to make the empire helpless. This time The crisis is caused by other things. So far, we have not found a solution, but in view of the current situation, considering that there may be a greater disaster, we are here to call you."
"Just a week ago, blood rain suddenly fell on the territory of the empire. The frightening thing is that the people who were drenched by the blood rain developed fever the next day. This is completely different from ordinary high-temperature fever diseases. Doctors all over the country None of them could solve the disease. However, on the third day, all the sick people mutated. They turned into monsters, gentlemen, and the number of patients suffering from fever reached about 40% of the total population of the empire, that is to say , Suddenly we lost nearly 40% of our population, and there were millions more monsters!"
"Not only did we suffer heavy losses, but the same situation also happened to the Eastern Army. Now one of the princes of the Panlong Empire, King Dasheng, has proposed a truce agreement to His Majesty in the name of the Panlong Empire."
