Chapter 450: All-out Attack

The group returned to the Boulder Harbor and towed their boat ashore. It was obvious that they were going to stay here for a long time.

It is impossible for the Sound of Dawn to be thrown to the port all the time. It would be a bit unfair for the Sound of Dawn to occupy the position at the same time.

They towed it ashore, found a nice, secluded warehouse, stored the Sound of Dawn in it, and used it as their temporary residence in the Stone Fortress.

Afterwards, the entire rented warehouse was briefly renovated, such as quietly removing the ceiling.

Replaced with a movable ceiling.

You have to know that now the Sound of Dawn can not only be considered a ship, but can also be considered a living tree.

Bathing in the sun and rain on rainy days or in good weather will make the Dawn Sound happy.

After coming back, I had a meal and rested for a day.

Alka and the others gathered in the captain's cabin again.

Looking at everyone, Alka said, "Our mission this time is to find these three related information."

As he waved his hand, a mirror appeared on the table and some information began to appear on it.

Alka also narrated based on this information.

“【Cursed Sword】A sword-shaped treasure used by a former military noble family of the Saranan Empire, and also the title of a general.

By the way, the current descendants of their family are the head of the Demon Hunting Fortress and the Demon Hunters, the Demon Hunting Judge - Greyfar.

Get as much information as you can on this matter, preferably by finding the last person to hold the sword.

[Lighthouse] is a landmark building of the Saralan Empire, a symbol of the future of the empire and the road to eternal hope. This building should not have been destroyed, but hidden.

But we haven't seen any later information about this building. This is a key point for information collection, but there is no need to rush.

I have some impression of the name "Moon Worship Cult". It seems to be a pagan group that disappeared 300 years ago, but it doesn't seem to have done anything bad. By the way, you can also check the information about this name.

This cult may not be able to collect much information, so we can ask some residents on the island if there are any similar information processes or legends. "

These three names represent a red crown-level treasure and two orange scepter-level treasures.

These are what they need now, and whether they are suitable or not, they are useful. Because they are very suitable for exchange or trading later.

Hearing Alka's words, several people nodded.

The relevant information here does not necessarily have to be found on the ship. It can be found in various taverns and libraries in Boulder Port, and even in places where churches gather.

For example, Simon could completely rely on his identity to look for information in the Holy Machine Church, or even directly ask relevant people who might only know the information.

After saying that, Alka seemed to have thought of something and added, "By the way, you can also learn more about the various information of the Saralan Empire. It's always a good idea to know more.

Remember to compile the information you think is important into various key words and record them down. I will look at them later."

This is the solution that Alka came up with. Many times, the most basic information is expanded from various nouns.

Alka doesn't even need to know what these nouns stand for, he just needs to know that these nouns may lead to very important information.

This most basic treasure information simply introduces Alka to the possibilities of these treasures and related information.

It is unknown how much help it will be in finding the treasure, but it does not give Alka a general direction.

All treasure information comes from this, information expanded from one or several words.

And just remembering these words is the key point for Alka to most likely learn all the information about the treasures.

After all, he couldn't possibly keep all the information in his head.

After listening to Alka's words, everyone had a certain goal.

Now all that was left was action.

"Then let's stay here for the next one or two months. After collecting more relevant information, we'll think about what to do next."

Everyone stood up and prepared to take action. Alka patted Xia Daiti on the shoulder and said, "Xia Daiti, go collect more maps. There must be some more detailed maps of that kind of island."

Xia Dai nodded and said, “There must be these maps, after all, wars often happen here.

But there will probably be a lot of discarded maps collected as well.”

This kind of map can also be used, but Xiadaiti knows that Alka has very high requirements for the accuracy of the map.

The map can be rough, but it must be accurate.

"Well, by the way, we can prepare the Vastwa people to come out and have more contact with this place. This is a pretty good place."

After all, there are all kinds of people here, and basically all kinds of human subspecies can be seen here. In comparison, the appearance of the Vastwa people is really inconspicuous here.

Of course, I am talking about the slightly degraded Vastwa people now. If it were the previous kind, they would be a bit conspicuous.

However, it may be difficult for the current Vastwa people to return to their former appearance. After all, their previous appearance came from the gift of gods and the blessing of treasures.

Those gods no longer exist.

Moreover, this was in a relatively dangerous area with powerful foreign enemies. Their appearances did not affect their cooperation at all. As a result, although everyone had many differences in appearance, they were still relatively peaceful with each other.

If we are not united, we will be shattered by these demons.

This kind of atmosphere is very suitable for the Vastwa people to integrate into.

Coupled with the people from all over the world gathered here, the Vastwa people can better understand the world.

They will also stay here for quite some time.

Alka was even thinking about setting up a gathering place for the Vastwa people here, because this place was very nice.

Except for the danger, of course.

This is just a temporary experiment and a decision does not necessarily have to be made right away.

Through enlightenment, Touchers have begun to appear one after another among the Vastwa people.

It was time to come out and practice meditation. With the help of the magic gathering stone, in a few years, the Vastwa people would have a group of powerful people who were about the third stage of the Dao.

Of course, he is not considered a strong man in this place, but he already has the most basic foundation to stand firm in the boundless ocean.

As they come out and get to know more about this place, they can also choose where to set up their home.

After all, this is their own race's own problem. Alka and his companions can only provide help rather than directly intervene and make the decision.

After some thought and decision, Alka walked towards the church with Lucelia on his shoulders.

Just like Simon and the others would go to the relevant Holy Machine Church to look for information.

After all, this place is so important that temporary residences of various churches can be seen at every port.

Even the sea god has a simple gathering place by the sea, which can barely be called a church.

"Is it a little busier than before?" Alka asked, looking at the situation around him.

Lucelia also observed and then nodded.

"It seems so. And there are more soldiers, right? When we came back before, we happened to run into a large group of soldiers outside. They were training new recruits."

Not quite understanding what was going on, Alka arrived at the church fortress of the Church of Our Lady.

One of the two guards standing guard at the door was the one Alka had seen when he first came.

He obviously remembered that he nodded politely when he saw Alka and did not try to stop him.

Alka entered the church.

At this moment in the church, Purvis, whom he had met once before, was praying under the statue of the Virgin Mary.

There were also some people sitting around with their heads bowed in prayer, including soldiers, civilians, and even some labor mercenaries. There were all kinds of people.

Alka could clearly feel that they were all believers of the Virgin Mary.

I found a seat at the tail end and sat down, then closed my eyes.

Perhaps because of Alka's influence, Lucilia's faith is more inclined towards the Virgin Mary.

Lucelia's original belief was life. After all, she once came from the Sea of Life.

Following the pastor's guidance, we prayed in the same way.

In the darkness when my eyes are closed, there are flickering points of light.

Feeling this spot of light, Alka immediately felt familiar.

From the Virgin Mary.

This is the revelation of Our Lady.

here we go again.

When Alka first met the Virgin Mary, he asked some simple questions about the Revelation.

Simply put, the Virgin Mary didn't know what this thing represented, it was just a simple revelation that might be related to Alka, so she asked him to take a look.

Whether Alka can understand and gain inspiration from it depends on his own understanding.

Alka always felt that even the Virgin Mary herself was not proficient in using this thing.

He even felt that this might be some kind of ability that the Virgin Mary had just acquired. After all, there was no mention of this in the scriptures or other aspects.

Of course, this is a treasonous idea, so get rid of it.

Alka slowly calmed down.

As the thought progressed, the flickering dots of light expanded and turned into a picture.

It seemed to be somewhere underground, deep underground.

A simple palace was built there.

In a space wrapped in crystal. Or rather, it cannot be described as crystal, but some kind of transparent glass plate.

A flickering light floated in the space of the crystal, as if it sensed that Alka outside the picture was observing it.

The light spots gathered and flashed, revealing a male figure.

He has long black hair and looks good, but a little ordinary.

There was a faint intimidation about him, even though he looked amiable.

Wearing light clothes, she smiled and waved to Alka outside the screen.

He slightly opened his lips and made lip movements.

"Come to me soon, I'm waiting for you."

When the lip movement was completed, the picture faded and Alka, who was praying, opened his eyes.

The prayer is already completed at this time.

The people who were sitting in various places before had already left. Only Purvis was standing under the statue, holding a book wrapped in iron sheets, looking at him with a smile.

Alka woke up as if from a dream, and completely shut up the thoughts in his mind. He stood up and walked towards Purvis.

"I just felt the breath of the Virgin Mary. She is watching you, right?"

Alka nodded and didn't argue.

In response, Purvis simply asked, smiled, and asked, "Are you just here to pray and seek guidance from the Virgin Mary?"

Alka shook his head: "Not because of this, I want to know if there is any place to store books or materials here, I want to know more about this place.

On the former Saralan Empire and some of the historical conditions afterwards"

Hearing this, Purvis nodded.

"It seems that treasure hunting teams need the support of information. It seems that you treasure hunters are very good at collecting what you need from all this information."

From what Purvis said, he had apparently dealt with quite a few treasure hunting groups before.

This is why the treasure hunting team is very happy to maintain good relations with various churches.

As he said this, he led Alka and the others to the back through the side door.

Although the fortress is not big, it is impossible for it to be just a place as small as the prayer hall outside.

When you enter the back, you can see some small rooms, which seem to be used for resting or storing things.

We came to a room. The room was neither big nor small, but the ceiling height was about seven or eight meters.

Apparently this place used to be a tower or something like that, but now it has been converted into a small library, with all kinds of information books densely placed there.

There was only a crude spiral staircase that seemed a little shaky leading up to the top.

"These are the materials and books. Most of them are related to this place. There are also many books related to demons. If there is anything I can help you with, you can contact me again."

Purvis smiled and prepared to leave! Alka seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly stopped him and asked, "I see the atmosphere outside is very tense, what happened?"

Hearing this, Purvis nodded with a serious expression: "According to the intelligence sent by the front line, the demons' offensive has intensified again. They may launch a full-scale attack again, trying to break through a certain area.

This kind of thing always happens every few years, but sometimes the attack is very strong and sometimes it is relatively easy.

These demons are always attacking and expanding, trying to find certain flaws, and then breaking through in one fell swoop based on the flaws. "

Hearing this, Alka nodded to show that he understood, which means that the attack on the front line has become stronger, so more personnel help and material preparation are needed.

"But don't worry, we already have a lot of experience in dealing with all kinds of attacks."

Purvis said this and left, leaving Alka and the others to look for the information they needed on their own.

…

The sky was covered in an instant.

Night is coming.

Alka took Lucelia out of the church library, came to the street through the side door, and soon returned to the Sound of Dawn.

Everyone on the boat had already returned.

Everyone at the table was eating and exchanging some information they had gained today.

Not only Alka, Jason and the others also asked why there was a tense atmosphere in the entire port city.

"Should we go to the front line to take a look?" Juanlu suddenly asked while eating.

After all, except for Alka who had to go to the front line for something, none of them had ever been to the front line where the magic-proof wall was located.

I don’t know what the scene is like there.

Based on the conversation everyone had just had, Alka had a better understanding of this atmosphere and the corresponding all-out offensive, and he thought for a moment before speaking.

"Let's go to the front line together after a while and resist this attack. Provide some help within our ability."

Maintaining the entire anti-magic wall is to protect themselves. After all, once the demon's attack takes the upper hand, the Devouring Mouth will definitely take this opportunity to start trying to kill Alka.

Moreover, they are also on the human side, and their goal is also to repair the world. If they want to repair the world, they will eventually have to find a way to get these demons out.

Based on the communication between everyone just now, we can know that such a large-scale and comprehensive attack will not be carried out all at once.

It is a gradual process.

The demons will also begin to strengthen their deployment of troops and start harassing and exploring the situation of humans. They will also send various scouts to enter behind the city walls through various rituals or means to investigate the general situation and cause damage from behind.

Only then will a large-scale attack be launched. After all, demons have almost no discipline and all kinds of problems will always arise.

Even the three demon generals in the lead had to spend some time to gather these damn demons.

They may even trip each other up.

Not to mention arranging various attack directions and battle formations.

These are all very difficult things for the devil.

Of course if the demons didn't have such a chaotic nature, this place would have been conquered long ago.

This chaotic nature is the essence of the devil and can never be cleansed.

This is also the reason why they were able to win with fewer troops and hold on steadily.

The battle may last for several months until the fiercest siege is finally launched to repel the demons. The strength of the demons will be stabilized after the force is severely weakened.

The total duration may be close to half a year, which is the experience gained from resisting for such a long time.

The battles between humans and demons have gone on for hundreds of times.

There are moments of crisis for each other.

The situation has reached a complete stalemate, and without some major issues it would be difficult for either side to make any breakthrough.

According to Alka and his friends, this situation has lasted for nearly 200 years.

200 years ago, the magic wall would occasionally move forward or even backward, and various adjustments would often occur.

From time to time, the demons would expand their range, or be forced to attack and then shrink back.

After going back and forth like this, it became completely stable 200 years ago and has remained so until now.

So although the atmosphere in the entire port city is tense, it has not yet reached the point of being exaggerated.

After listening to Alka's words, several people nodded.

The fighting on the front line is not intense now, so they can wait a month or two before going there. By then they will be able to better understand the situation between the two sides.

By the way, we can learn more about the situation here first, so that we can get more information when we arrive at the front line.

After all, the descendants of the royal family of the Saralan Empire are also on the front line, and Grayfar is also on the front line.

These are the goals they seek information about.

After eating and drinking, Xiadaiti handed Alka some maps she had collected .

“Some of the maps are out of date, but that’s just the case, and some of the maps are just barren sources.

These maps are maps of the demon-occupied areas that someone has drawn before."

Xia Daiti collected quite a few maps today, dozens of them of various sizes.

Seeing these maps, Alka immediately became excited. He took the maps and ran to the captain's room and began to examine them carefully.

The others did not follow, each doing their own thing and not disturbing each other at this time.

Alka looked at the maps one by one in the captain's room.

Some maps are outdated as Xia Daiti said, and no light spots will appear.

But half the map showed various spots of light.
