Chapter 440: Anti-Demon Wall
late at night.
Scars of the world.
The night sky here looks a little different than other places.
It was getting darker, even the stars seemed to be blocked by clouds and something. The night here was darker than other places.
It should also be quieter.
A bonfire flickered in the darkness.
There were several bonfires of various sizes around , and the people following the convoy were sitting by the bonfires in groups of three or four.
Twelve vehicles used to transport goods formed a circle, surrounding everyone.
It can not only resist the night breeze, but also be used as a city wall when encountering danger.
After all, the vehicle's compartments and the supplies inside have been given various protective treatments through protective spells.
Alka sat on his sleeping bag, staring at the campfire in front of him.
Some people around were grilling some meat over a campfire, while some were sitting cross-legged, seemingly meditating.
Because of the chat during the day, Putuo and his team of mercenaries became acquainted with Alka, so they gathered together around a campfire.
The way people around share a campfire is mostly to gather together in this way.
Putuo looked at Alka and said, "Don't you want to take a rest? It will be hard to rest after today."
Alka rubbed the bonfire with a stick, looked up and asked in confusion: "Why?"
“Because the distance we are walking today is relatively safe. After all, it is relatively close to the port city, isn’t it?
Most of the new recruits in training will often train outside the city and clear out the monsters around them.
But the further we go, the less safe it will be. We won't be able to rest at night like we do now. We will have to travel day and night, and we have to take turns to rest in the car. "Putuo explained very patiently.
After all, Bai Tian already knew that this was Alka's first time coming to the World Scar.
"Isn't it more dangerous to travel at night?" If it's for safety.
"Traveling at night is certainly dangerous, but if you stay in the same place for too long at night, you will become a very conspicuous target and can be easily attacked."
Putuo said this and picked up the small wooden stick in his hand, shaking it and pointing at the people and cargo vehicles around him.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that there are so many of us, but you know, the breath of the abyss will infect animals, plants, and so on.
There are also those monsters from other ghost places. Many of them are brainless and don’t care whether you are in danger or not. They will just rush over and want to kill everything. So the longer you stay in the same place, the easier it is to become a target of attack. "
As Putuo said this, another soldier sitting by the campfire nodded.
"He's right. The safe passage is too long. There are small watchtowers or camps at regular intervals. These camps are attacked every day, and there are casualties from time to time." The soldier said this with a nostalgic look on his face. It was obvious that he had also guarded such a place before.
It is said that the soldiers in this camp are a mixture of guards from the transport team and some new recruits or wounded soldiers from the front line.
Alka nodded, indicating that he understood.
"By the way, where is your destination this time? The transport team will only stay at the logistics camp on the front line." The guard looked at Alka and asked.
Their goods would stop about a few dozen kilometers outside the city walls, and all the supplies would be placed there.
Every place connected by safe roads is a logistics camp.
The wounded, new recruits, soldiers who need rotation and rest, and various supplies will be stored here.
It is then distributed by the logistics camp and transported to various locations on the city wall.
"We got the Kavas defense node." Putuo said.
On the city wall, there are defense nodes one after another. These nodes are large and small.
The so-called defense node is the assembly point that controls a long section of the city wall on both sides. Specifically, it is equivalent to a fortress. There will be soldiers, supplies, and a command post for a section of the area.
"I have to go here, to the Demon Hunting Fortress."
The fortress node of the city wall is equivalent to a larger defense node, where the largest number of soldiers gather, which is equivalent to a small castle.
It is also the place that needs to be guarded the most because it is the easiest to be attacked.
It is also easiest to invade the rear from there.
"Demon Hunting Fortress." Hearing this, Putuo looked at Alka with strange eyes.
"You're not going to look for someone here, are you?"
Alka nodded, and from the look in Putuo's eyes and the looks of the people around him, he knew that this place was obviously a little different.
"What happened to the place?"
The soldier who spoke had a strange expression on his face, and didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a while, he said, "That place is regarded as the base camp by the demon hunters, you know. They are those gloomy and quiet guys.
In addition, it is also a very important node and a fortress. We call this kind of place a meat grinder.
There are demon attacks every day, and every once in a while there are large-scale demon sieges. It can be said that this place is like a meat grinder.
For most ordinary people, it is hell.”
"Those demon hunters are the remnants of this continent, or they are people whose homes were destroyed by demons and who have a grudge against demons." said a mercenary sitting next to the campfire.
Putuo patted him on the shoulder and said to Alka, "My brother wanted to go there before, but unfortunately his strength was not enough."
Alka turned his head and looked at a campfire not far away. There were only two people standing alone by the campfire. They were the two witchers who followed them.
He hardly spoke a word along the way and just followed silently, obviously not very sociable.
"Although these demon hunters are gloomy and don't like to talk, they are people you can trust with your back. Moreover, they are very powerful and will show no mercy when it comes to killing demons." Putuo said with a smile.
He also gestured with his hands twice and made the sound of a blade with his mouth.
Then he stared at the stick in Alka's hand and pointed behind him.
"You can actually move with the two of them then. They should also be going here."
Alka nodded, accepting his suggestion.
After chatting for a while, everyone began to get into their sleeping bags one after another to rest.
…
"roar!"
A violent roar.
Putuo was covered in blood, like a mad beast, with hair as hard as thorns growing
Wolf-like claws appeared on his hands, and he was killing the monsters crazily like a bloody butcher.
As he waved his hands, large amounts of blood and pieces of flesh flew out.
The mercenaries following behind him did not change much in appearance, but they still had fangs and exuded a blood-red aura.
These mercenaries held swords or giant axes in their hands and slaughtered crazily among the monsters.
These mercenaries gathered together like a meat grinder, cooperating with each other tacitly and madly harvesting the monsters around them.
On the other side, a long, thick fire snake kept circling and weaving in and out of the monsters. Every time it weaved in and out, it would hit and ignite a bunch of monsters.
Alka just stood there, with the red flame card floating around him.
These monsters seem to have mutated from wolves, but each one mutates in a different way, so it's a bit disgusting and uncomfortable.
These monsters passed through the flames, ignoring the burning on their bodies, and pounced on Alka to bite him.
Looking at the monster rushing towards him, Alka waved his hand lightly, and flames appeared out of thin air, igniting it into a fireball.
With a backhand kick, he kicked the monster that attacked from behind into the pile of monsters behind him. Then the monster that Alka kicked suddenly exploded, and a large amount of flames spread to the surrounding monsters like burning oil.
Although it has mutated, the hair on its body is abnormally lush and can be easily ignited.
The only pity is that these monsters seem to have no sense of pain and fear. Otherwise, Alka's flames could have a more exaggerated effect.
Alka became the brightest place in the entire battlefield, almost completely illuminating the night.
This was a late night attack. The convoy that Alka was in seemed to be targeted by a group of monsters while traveling at night.
The group of monsters attacked them without hesitation.
No one in the audience was surprised by this sudden attack and they dealt with it easily.
Twenty soldiers blocked the convoy, cooperating with each other tacitly and easily resisted the monsters.
Apparently this is not the first time they have faced these problems.
The two silent demon hunters were even more violent than the mercenaries in killing monsters.
As Alka stopped the monsters in front of him, he also observed them with his peripheral vision. The two demon hunters had a gray-purple aura that gave people a bad feeling.
It's not disgusting, but rather a kind of creepy smell.
And no one knew where they took out a two-handed sword that was taller than a person. Alka felt that the sword was at least two meters long.
Each swing can harvest a large number of monsters.
The gloomy- looking
The gray-purple aura wrapped around the greatsword, and as it was swung, any monster that was cut by it fell to the ground as if it was seriously injured.
Alka sensed something and waved his hand casually, and a fireball flew out and knocked several monsters away.
The mercenary who was saved by Alka nodded and thanked him: "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After a brief exchange, they entered into the battle again.
Fortunately, although there are hundreds of monsters in this group, their quality varies.
Most of them are close to reaching the perfection of the second stage, and there are also quite a few individuals in the third stage.
But none of the people following the convoy were below the third stage. Alka saw that the weakest mercenary was in the middle of the third stage.
For example, Putuo is in the fourth stage and must have mastered a treasure.
The kind of monster he turned into was probably the function of the treasure, and it also infected his teammates.
The captain of the transport convoy was also in the middle of the fourth stage, and he also possessed a treasure.
Simply put, anyone who dares to run out of the city is no one with strength lower than the third stage, and their fighting skills are extremely superb.
If placed outside, each of them can be considered a strong man.
With the cooperation of each other, only some mercenaries were slightly injured, and they killed the monsters very efficiently.
As the last monster was killed, the mercenaries and soldiers skillfully took out various short knives and daggers and began to cut the wolves.
Only Alka stayed where he was.
"Aren't you going to harvest some, brother? These furs are still very valuable, don't underestimate them. I feel uncomfortable after working so hard for so long without any harvest."
Putuo, who was peeling the skin, looked at Alka who was standing there and said. Then he looked at the monsters in front of him and closed his mouth silently.
All the monsters around Alka were burned into various kinds of charcoal. It was good to have skin, not to mention fur.
Embarrassed Putuo thought for a moment and said, “Although the most precious fur is gone, the teeth are also a rare material.
Some mutated organs are still very useful, but I sometimes can’t quite tell which ones they are.”
Alka looked at the various charcoal scattered around him and waved his hand.
"Forget it, forget it."
He thought it was too much trouble, and besides, he was not rich enough to do that.
Putuo did not force it. The fur of these wolf monsters was valuable. After all, they were infected by the abyss and their meat was inedible.
Teeth and fur are the only two resources. The mutant organs are useful, but you can only rely on your eyesight and luck. Compared with fur, teeth are really not worth much, and they are also difficult to peel off. If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself, which is not worth it.
He was busy for a long time and paid no attention to the monsters' mouths.
At this time, a soldier came to Alka and said, "Friend, could you please burn the bodies of these wolves later?"
In the battle with Alka just now, his ability with fire had been clearly demonstrated.
Alka nodded, indicating that it was no problem.
It's just a piece of cake.
Seeing Alka agreed, the soldier smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."
From the battle just now, we know that the strongest among them is probably Alka. He killed almost half of the wolf corpses by himself, and he still had the mind to help the people around him.
It seems very easy and comfortable.
Without Alka's help, at least one or two of them would have to pay a price.
So everyone in the team became more friendly to Alka.
A doctor who was traveling with the convoy began to bandage everyone's wounds. Some mercenary teams also had their own doctors who began to take action.
Everyone was more or less able to deal with some simple minor injuries, and the medicinal materials were provided free of charge by the team.
"Don't underestimate these minor injuries. After all, they were scratched by these mutant wolves infected by the abyss. There might be some strange virus. They still need to be properly treated." Putuo, who had basically completed the harvesting of the fur, said.
Then everyone moved the bodies together and piled them up into a small hill.
After finishing, Alka's red card floated beside him and flicked it lightly at the pile of corpses.
A fire bomb flew directly over and hit the pile of corpses. Then a raging fire instantly ignited and enveloped the corpses.
Thick smoke billowed out, and you could smell the aroma of roasted meat.
Seeing the place burning, the convoy began to move forward.
I don't know when the day started to brighten.
"This smell makes me hungry." Putuo rubbed his shoulders and said.
Then he thought of something, looked at Alka and said, "Brother, do you mind if we grill while walking?"
"?" Alka looked at him with some confusion.
Putuo smiled and took out a piece of meat, clamped it with the prepared steel tongs and sprinkled seasoning on it.
"You hold the fire, and I'll bake."
Hearing this, Alka looked at him speechlessly.
But he was indeed a little hungry, so he raised his hand and a handful of gathered flames burned out.
"Oh, yes, yes, believe me brother, I may not be good at other things, but I have absolutely no problem with my barbecue skills."
Even with good skills, how can I be better than Juanlu? Alca thought silently, but he still controlled the heat.
After it was finished roasting, the meat was distributed to the people around him and Alka.
Alca took a few bites and said it was not bad, but it was far inferior to Juan Luna.
Looking at Alka's indifferent expression, Putuo said, "It seems that my barbecue is not to your liking."
"It's okay, but compared to my companions, it's really not that good." Alka looked at him and said with a smile.
"You are not alone, you have companions."
"Yes, they are waiting for me at Boulder Harbor. If we meet again later, I can show you his cooking skills.
He can be considered a famous chef.”
"A famous chef?" Putuo was somewhat interested, nodded and said, "No problem, if we meet again next time, you must invite me to taste it."
We walked and talked, and continued to move forward with the convoy.
…
After more than a week of non-stop marching day and night, the convoy was finally about to reach the logistics camp.
Far away, Alka saw a fortress on the horizon.
There were a large number of soldiers patrolling around, and Alka saw all kinds of potholes around.
The fortress covered a larger area than Alka had imagined.
It can already be called a fortress.
At this point, they were going to go their separate ways.
"Good brother, I hope to see you again in the future." Putuo said to Alka with his mercenary team.
Alka also crossed his arms and said, "May the Virgin Mary bless you with peace."
Putuo and the mercenary team behind him also returned the salute and then went their separate ways.
There are also some guards who need to rest here before returning, and they are acquainted with Alka.
After greeting each other, Alka learned some of the situation and left.
However, he did not leave immediately, but found the two demon hunters.
He had had a brief exchange with them before, and they didn't mind. Mainly because Alka had helped him once in a previous battle.
In just one week, they actually encountered three battles.
So the three of them set out together and began to move forward.
We went directly to the city wall through the troop transport channel.
Alka looked at the city wall winding forward with no end in sight.
The height of the city wall where he was at this moment was only about three or four meters, but the terrain here was higher, and if the hillside below was included, the height would be about twenty or thirty meters.
However, soldiers could be seen defending at regular intervals.
He followed the two demon hunters silently through the city wall and headed towards the right side of the city wall.
After walking for a while, Alka had a certain understanding that the heights of these city walls would vary depending on the surrounding terrain.
It also saves materials.
Some will be directly cut off and rely on the protruding peaks for defense. In such places, there will be small supply stations or rest areas built against the protruding peaks.
Sometimes there would just be one or two arrow towers.
Through the city wall, you can also see the area occupied by demons in the distance.
Alka could see from afar that the area was full of traces of various battles. He could even see some imps and inferior demons devouring each other's dead demon bodies.
Even the earth is a scorching hot area with magma flowing.
