Qin Lun glanced at the death list calmly, and saw that there was a hidden plot of "clearing up the undead". The difficulty of this mission is unknown, but with Broken Starry Sky's exploration speed of the world of Toril, it is a matter of course, it obviously does not have the detailed information of this regional mission.
The attitude of the apostles towards this task is still very relaxed, because the basic reward for this task in Broken Starry Sky is very low, only 10,000 broken crystals, hundreds of exchange coupons and very few contribution points, which is the same as the initial guidance of the fortress team. The task is about the same.
After receiving Stark's reply, Boni Knight left two cavalrymen and continued to rush to the nearby guard station, and the other cavalry still followed the mercenary group to the Valley of the Undead again. From this point of view, the cavalry guards led by Boni are still very heroic, at least they did not shrink back because of previous failures.
"Master Angelo, you are not a member of our mercenary regiment, why did you take such a big risk to follow me!" Philip leaned to the side of the red-robed mage and asked softly.
"Hehe, we mages can't be promoted behind closed doors. It's easier to get familiar with the spells we usually master in actual combat like this. And I don't think a few hundred undead can break through your defense line and threaten my safety!" Ange Luo chuckled, and reached out to touch the short hair of the apprentice El, "Besides, this kid has been learning magic from me, and this time is also a rare opportunity for actual combat."
"That makes sense, but please be more cautious when the time comes, after all, the members of our regiment have never cooperated with you." Philip nodded in understanding and added a word of advice.
"Master Philip, please don't worry, I'm not the kind of weak academic mage." Angelo bowed politely, and then glanced into the distance, "The trainee knight of the goddess Lovita also looks Want to advance and retreat with us?"
"Yes, we have persuaded Miss Idriya, but the believers of the Painful Girl seem to be more difficult to persuade than you!" Philip replied with a wry smile.
"Well, of course, if this Miss Idriya's faith is firm enough, I'm afraid she has already regarded the siege of the undead as a test." Angelo shook his head lightly and said, "Even if the goddess of abuse, Lovita, is in God's War Aggressive, bold and fearless, her knights will not flinch from danger."
…
"Wen Lake is here!" Everyone looked at the sparkling lake in front of them, and there was a faint excitement before the battle in their hearts.
Ever since the apostles came out of Iron Star Fort, they hadn't encountered a decent battle. The bandits on the eastern border of Tethyr and Amn are too weak, and apart from tireless harassment, there is actually no real threat at all.
Among the many inland lakes in the continent of Faerun, the area of Wenhu Lake is not very large, only about a quarter of that of Lake Esmir and a third of that of Lake Naga. It is even more incomparable with the lake of steam, an inland sea that is equivalent to the size of a kingdom.
Of course, for the Snowmelt Lake whose upstream source is the Cloud and Mist Mountains, this scale is not bad. The two east-west rivers formed by Lake Wen and Lake Esmer are the most prosperous two river basins in Amn.
Since the source is the Yunwu Mountains, Wenhu Lake is close to the foot of the mountain, and it is also very close to the Petronas Twin Towers. This was once the site of the Tomahawk Bridge, one of the twin bridges to the mainland built by the Sonata dwarves.
Below the surface of the lake in the middle of Wenhu Lake, you can still see the shadows of bridge piers left over thousands of years ago in some places. These stone piers as big as windmills crawl on the bottom of the water like giant beasts, which is daunting.
"The small valley where the undead appeared is not far away. We can see the entrance when we go around the eastern end of Lake Wen." After arriving here, the Amn cavalry, including the Bonny knight, became a little nervous. Although they have received strong support, the shadow of failure left before them still weighs on their hearts like a boulder.
"Let me go to scout first!" Elistine volunteered to scout the way when he heard Boni's words.
"Don't send druids. The air above that valley is full of poisonous miasma. You can't see what's going on inside. You can only enter from the ground." Bonnie waved his hand to stop Elistin who was eager to try. Lost manpower.
"Miasma? Will it affect the next battle?" Stark frowned, looking at Boni with some dissatisfaction. The heavy armored knight didn't mention this situation before.
"It doesn't matter. Those miasmas are lighter than air, and they all float above the valley. Except for the poor light in the valley, it doesn't affect our battle with the undead." Bonny shook his head cautiously, "However, you should pay attention, this little The topography of the valley is very complicated, and there are people circling around inside, and there are rocks several people high everywhere, which is simply a stone formation. You must always pay attention to the surrounding conditions, so as not to be attacked by the undead."
"Bonny Knight, when you came here before, did you enter the innermost part of the valley?" Stark asked cautiously.
"No, I asked some of the cavalry to store their horses at the entrance of the valley and walk into the valley as the vanguard of the team. We were surrounded by undead not long after we entered, but luckily the horses were not all lost, and we were able to break through in the end." Glo sighed, his face was ugly, probably thinking of his comrades who were lost in the valley.
Bypassing the eastern end of Lake Wen, everyone saw the valley of the undead that Bonnie had mentioned. The entrance to the valley was small, probably only big enough for three horses to enter abreast. Just as the heavy armored knight said, the terrain in the valley is complicated, and the sight is blocked by rocks after only looking out more than ten meters, making it impossible to see the situation inside.
The entire valley was extremely silent, not even the chirping of insects and birds, like a lifeless grave.
Looking at the valley, Qin Lun frowned slightly. His "Gannetus left eye" actually failed for the first time, unable to see the situation inside the valley. In the black and white retina, there is only a layer of gray fog.
"Lol, I'll leave it to you and Perth!" Stark glanced at Robin and waved at the two thieves. Perth is the lost rudimentary apostle. Since the cooperation of the two teams, the ground reconnaissance work has been basically completed by the two of them.
Longer grinned, exchanged glances with another thief, flung the black cloak behind him, and disappeared in front of everyone.
After a long while, the faces of all the apostles waiting outside the valley suddenly changed, and they jumped from their horses to Taniguchi.
"What's wrong?" Bonny was startled, jumped off his horse, and chased Stark in front of him.
"I'll talk about it later!" Stark didn't have time to explain, and he stretched out and rushed into the valley. However, as an MT in the team, his speed was not fast, at least Kelly had rushed into the valley first.
"What's wrong with them?" Elistin and Mileras who were standing beside Qin Lun were a little at a loss.
"The thieves of the mercenary group have a special way of communicating with Captain Robin. Longer and Perth seem to be in trouble!" Qin Lun flashed his eyes and comforted him with a smile, "But don't worry, they are temporarily There's no danger yet."
"Then shall we go in now too..." Mileras asked worriedly. The Sun Elf Prince is not afraid of death, he has a heavy burden on his shoulders, and for him, death is also a luxury.
"It doesn't matter, you are not ignorant of their strength. As long as there are no more than two legendary occupations, these undead will not be able to harm us!" Qin Lun smiled lightly.
Fortress and Lost itself are the kind of combined teams that sacrifice individual performance and prefer group battles. Except for Kelly and everyone who couldn't cooperate due to the great difference in strength, after such a long time, the others have become more and more skilled in cooperating with each other.
In Qin Lun's eyes, they don't have the crushing power of legendary professions. If these primary apostles are paired up, they can completely compete against the second-tier apostles in a short period of time. If there is a second-level MT like Stark, he can still deal with high-level apostles.
Bypassing the rocks at the mouth of the valley, the apostles and the cavalry of Amn finally saw the battle not far from the mouth of the valley. It was more than twenty skeletons and zombies fighting two thieves.
Both Long Er and the thief named Perth were in a panic at this time, and they were barely resisting the attack of the undead back to back. Judging by their appearance, the two of them were actually injured within just over ten minutes, which greatly surprised the apostles who were familiar with them.
"Let's go together, solve it quickly!" Robin frowned, feeling very uneasy in his heart, waved decisively, and took over the leadership that was originally handed over to Stark.
More than a dozen apostles were fighting more than twenty low-level undead. There was no suspense in this battle, and the elves and dwarves didn't even need to intervene. Qin Lun, Mileras and the others only shot a few symbolic arrows, and the last skeleton was split apart by Stark with an axe.
"What's the matter with you?" Nicole checked the wounds of the two thieves and found that they had dispelled the corpse poison by themselves. She was relieved and gave them an angry look.
"Captain Stark, your mercenary group is really strong. I didn't expect that the two thieves could survive for such a long time under the siege of more than 20 undead!" Compared with the apostles' contempt for the two thieves Looking at his eyes, Boni Knight seemed very happy.
The two thieves smiled wryly at each other. Not only did Boni's appreciation not make them happy, but they felt like stepping on dog shit.
"These undead are very strange. They actually saw through the stealth of Perth and me. We were surrounded not long after we entered the valley. Moreover, their attacks are well-organized and well-organized. We can't even use our body skills."
Longer glanced at the wound on his arm, and said with lingering fear, "If there are one or two high-level undead among them, we won't even be able to carry you. If it is replaced by plot thieves in this world, even if they have our strength, I'm afraid it will be because Infected with corpse poison and died."
"It's not these skeletons who saw through your stealth, but that thing!" Angelo, who had been listening quietly, suddenly sneered, and with one stroke of the staff in his hand, a crystal clear ice arrow shot straight into a corner of the air.
"Crack!" Following Angelo's shot, an invisible spherical object suddenly appeared in the empty midair, and was shot down to the ground by the ice arrow.
"What is this?"
Stark's eyes lit up, he rushed forward to step on it, looked carefully, and couldn't help being amazed. This is a black eyeball the size of a child's fist, but with a pair of bat wings growing on it, it is constantly struggling under his feet.
"The imitation of the beholder is a kind of alchemy creature. However, ordinary mages don't use this thing very much. The people who use them are generally necromancers and liches!" Angelo said lightly, "It seems that Boni The knight's guess is not wrong, the undead here are indeed being manipulated."
