At night, on the official road outside Hetan City.
Marvin, who was walking alone, suddenly felt a pain in his heart!
"My heart hurts too..."
"Although Anthony's fall was in my expectation, why would I feel heartache?"
Marvin stood still, and after a while, he regained his strength.
He was a little shocked, not shocked by the heartache.
Ordinary people may not understand what that heartache means now, but he does. As one of the few active legendary wizards alive, Anthony has always been the most active and powerful member in suppressing evil forces on the Feinan Continent.
Whether it's the Snake Cult or the evil spirits from the lower planes, life is very unsatisfactory under Anthony's sun.
This righteous legendary wizard is the patron saint of the East Coast. He is also one of the top figures in the Southern Wizarding Union.
Such a character cannot be described with the word great.
His fall is definitely a loss for Feinan Continent. And a benevolent person will suddenly have a feeling of heartache under the influence of some kind of power in the dark.
This is only the first time.
Because this is only the first legendary fall since the cataclysm event was brewing.
Under the conspiracy of the gods, there are definitely not a few human wizards who have fallen. Those shocking events in Marvin's memory will happen one after another.
It won't be long before the news of Anthony's fall will spread, and at that time, all evil forces will start to rise.
The upcoming [World Exterminating Twin Snakes], [God of Plague], [Puppet Man]... all of this is just the beginning.
The entire Feinan Continent will fall into boundless chaos!
Wizards lose their power and become monsters. Only in such pain will mortals pray to the gods.
This is the purpose of those high gods!
Of course, there is a fourth tablet of destiny.
Nothing can be stopped, and the only thing Marvin can do is not to go against the sky, but to open up a relatively quiet refuge in this troubled world!
It's hard!
But as a legendary player Marvin in his previous life, he never flinched because of difficulties. Since God let him come to this world, since he has reached an agreement with the owner of this body, he must do it!
After the cataclysm, the Baihe Valley must be built into a safe haven!
This is the oath Marvin made to his soul, because there is the land he needs to guard with his life.
…
"Am I also a benevolent person?"
Ma Wen looked at the dark clouds floating in the east from a distance, and laughed at himself.
That dark cloud will form a period of heavy rainfall, probably for a few days, the east coast is full of heavy rain.
This is Anthony, the legendary wizard of the past, warning Feinan's people that disaster is coming.
Marvin adjusted his breathing and took advantage of the darkness to quicken his pace.
There are few people on the official road. Few people would drive the night road alone, and this official road was actually built by the original lord of the White River Valley—that is, Marvin's grandfather, so not many people walked it in the first place.
Since the fall of the White River Valley, there have been no caravans going there. After all, who would do business with Gnolls
Marvin's dark vision is very poor. Fortunately, there is moonlight tonight, and with the help of Moon Scar, he can see very far.
He traveled alone, because he didn't want to expose his tracks, so he chose to go out at night.
In the evening about two days later, he finally arrived at the edge of the White River Valley.
Northern mines.
The wind was blowing over the beech flocks, and the rain was coming. The official road has become much narrower here.
Marvin started sneaking and shuttled through the woods.
At the intersection ahead, a sign appeared.
Marvin was familiar with this sign, which pointed to the route to the mine in the north and the castle in the south.
However, at this time, it was painted off with green dye!
Instead, a litany of ugly language.
"Gnoll language!"
"Damn it! These bastards!"
Marvin gritted his teeth secretly.
Although he doesn't know the language of the wolf man, the general meaning on the sign is that they have already occupied this place.
One step further, it will become the private property of the Wolf Man tribe!
That's right, it was a tribe of jackals who attacked Marvin's castle this time, otherwise, with the defense of the castle, they wouldn't have fallen so quickly!
However, it was night and very chaotic, and the owner of this body did not leave much useful information for Marvin.
He had to come and find out for himself.
But as soon as he reached the intersection, he ran into trouble.
There are Gnoll Sentinels.
They are all ordinary sentinels. Two warriors, two archers. Their weapons are very rough, and it looks like they are handmade by themselves. The slingshots made by human exquisite craftsmen are more lethal than their bows and arrows.
These gnoll sentries are nothing to worry about. The key lies in the six tall shadows behind them!
Marvin started reconnaissance, and his pupils shrank involuntarily!
Mutated Coyotes!
Level 4 creatures, but their HP is as high as 200 points, and their strength in hand-to-hand combat is comparable to that of a tiger!
These mutated coyotes were the main force that attacked the castle at the beginning, and the castle's defense force was easily torn apart by them even with their shields held high!
Marvin himself was almost killed by a mutant coyote!
If Anna hadn't saved herself.
…
The gnoll tribe can domesticate coyotes, this is something Marvin knows.
But this kind of mutated hyena is not something that ordinary jackals can domesticate.
"Could it be that a rare animal trainer appeared among this group of jackals?"
Ma Wen analyzed in his heart.
He now faces a problem.
The road ahead was blocked, and if he wanted to move forward, he had to kill these sentries.
But he came here this time for reconnaissance, not to alert the enemy.
He needs to know the details of the Gnoll tribe, the composition of their soldiers, the level of their leaders, and so on.
This needs to be touched quietly.
These sentries and coyotes blocked his way.
This is troublesome.
Marvin hesitated for a moment, but finally crouched behind a beech tree and opened the hide.
Just wait.
…
After two full hours, Marvin waited for two hours in the howling wind.
The sky began to rain violently!
This is a witchcraft performed by the legendary wizard Antony with his life to warn Feinan of the evil creatures before his death.
According to Marvin, jackals are very afraid of rain. Once their fur gets wet, it is difficult to dry, and it is very easy to rot under the action of parasites.
So they generally hide in crypts.
Sure enough, as soon as it started to rain, the sentinels started screaming strangely and ran to the side of the mountain.
Even the six mutated coyotes followed in.
Marvin was overjoyed, drove stealthily, and walked in silently despite the heavy rain.
…
After passing the initial level, the next step is a smooth road.
Marvin first secretly went to the northern mine.
He found that these gnolls didn't know how to mine at all. After Marvin evacuated the miners, there were only about 20 wolf man warriors and two coyotes stationed here, one of whom seemed to be a third-level wolf man officer.
"It seems that their leader has put the main defense force on my castle."
"There are so many coyotes, so it must be a medium-sized tribe, at least more than 300 people."
"It's no wonder that they were defeated all at once that night. This kind of mutated hyena is too lethal, and only a second-level human master can deal with them."
Marvin made a secret note that if he wanted to regain the territory, the most important thing was to deal with these hyenas.
After all, an ordinary jackal warrior, with his combat power, can completely lead people to divide and encircle. It's not a problem.
But at this moment, he is even more curious, who cultivated these mutated coyotes
A normal coyote is a second-level creature, and often only a coyote will appear in a colony of more than 10 jackals. To be able to breed a coyote into a fourth-level creature, its owner must have extraordinary strength.
Maybe it's an advanced ranger class—beast tamer
Marvin wasn't sure either. But the owner of these mutated coyotes must be the leader of the wolf tribe.
Such a powerful guy, there is no reason not to be the leader.
When he was thinking this way, the shadow of the castle appeared in the valley in the distance.
The heavy rain continued, and Marvin did not rush forward. He knew that there was a secret entrance to the castle, but the road there was very slippery, and he would slip into the abyss if he was not careful.
We have to wait for the rain to stop.
So he planned to find a farmhouse not occupied by gnolls at the foot of Castle Hill to live temporarily.
He cautiously avoided the gaze of the wolf man patrols, picked a house that looked familiar and jumped into it.
The owner of the house should have been evacuated to the countryside. Ma Wen stayed here temporarily, so it wasn't a big problem.
Who knew that at this moment, there was a sudden scream from the backyard of the house!
It was a girl's voice!
