Chapter 915: Outpost
The Burial Valley has a history of hundreds of years on the banks of the Donno River.
Many corpses of soldiers from the former kingdoms of Kerton and Nott are buried here, and many wars and conflicts have broken out nearby.
The entire canyon looks a bit desolate, with very little vegetation and even the soil is a dark red.
The entire canyon lacks sunlight all year round and appears very gloomy. The temperature nearby seems to drop by several degrees inexplicably and there seems to be a stench of corruption in the air.
Nowadays, the Burial Canyon has become a place where both merchants and hunters on the road will take a detour.
The entire canyon has become a paradise for low-level undead, and even outside the canyon wandering undead appear from time to time.
However, there were no mages in Dunnor City who were good at dealing with this before, and currently most of these undead spirits gathered in the canyon, only occasionally wandering out at night, and the distance of their movements and influence was limited.
Therefore, apart from setting up some outposts and beacon towers to maintain surveillance, the main focus for the time being is defense.
Occasionally, some adventure teams would come in to pick some local specialties, and sometimes there would be necromancers coming to collect materials, and these had always been tacitly approved.
Or there is no better way.
The city of Dunnor also regularly announces missions to clear out wandering undead to reduce the density of the undead just in case.
The stone brick tower stood in a wilderness. As the sun gradually set, the red sunset glow also fell on the wasteland.
The sun hasn't disappeared yet.
But the twelve soldiers stationed here have already felt a chill coming.
"Damn, this is really not a place for human beings to stay. No wonder we have to move it every three months."
"Oh, just thinking about having to stay here for another half a month is torture."
"It's okay. At least we didn't participate in the previous operation against the Bloody Duke. I heard that many people died."
"But being able to conquer Xishan Territory is like a dream."
"It is said that it was Master Yi."
"But there are more undead here recently. I wonder if anyone will take up the mission..."
"Don't worry, it's always like this. When there are more wandering undead, we will naturally arrange for adventurers to come."
The soldiers of this squad lit a bonfire under the tower.
Eight people stayed by the campfire and chatted and took turns to rest, while four people remained on guard on top of the tower.
But it is obvious that these people cannot deal with any real trouble.
The main thing is to light smoke signals and launch flares directly in the campfire when encountering problems.
Fortunately, nothing serious has happened here so far .
There are also a few undead souls that roam around at night.
Just when it was getting dark, a group of people arrived at the outpost, exhausted.
Looking at the various strange costumes of the visitors, and the completely irresistible silly aura.
The captain here, Dyson, immediately thought of a recent rumor.
Savage!
"Good night, everyone."
Clumsy words came out of the Fireball Master's mouth, and after expressing his goodwill, he began to prepare to speak the language.
The Fireball Master puts most of his energy into the Fireball Technique, but his talent is not as good as Youyouzi's, so it takes time to release the Language Proficiency Technique.
After it is completed, the purpose of the visit is explained.
"Good evening, everyone. We are the savages from the Warcraft Forest. This time we have been tasked with exterminating the undead. We would like to rest here for one night and go back tomorrow. After all, the undead are stronger at night."
The guards of this outpost know that once the number of undead wandering outside the canyon increases, they will arrange some corresponding tasks.
Given the recent changes in circumstances, it is only natural for adventurers to come here.
I just didn't expect that the first person to come this time would be the rumored savage. This is the first time I've seen him. He looks no different from ordinary people, but he has an indescribable silly temperament.
"Welcome to our outpost. This is also a place for adventurers who are clearing out the undead to rest. However, the place is simple, so please be patient."
Captain Dyson spoke first.
"Haha, it's okay. We just sleep in the forest."
The Fireball Master laughed and said it didn't matter.
When these savages entered the city of Dunnor, they would live in groups of several in one room, and this was almost becoming their trademark.
The environment of this outpost is nothing special.
"We also have to thank you all for taking on the mission. Outposts like ours pose the greatest threat from the undead roaming around."
Captain Dyson smiled.
"By the way, is there anything ?"
Fireball Master was also thinking that there should be some interactions with the NPCs here, so he could get more clues to the missions. What if there were any extended hidden missions?
"In fact, this mission is a recurring mission that is released every once in a while. Generally speaking, there is no limit on the number of adventurers, and multiple teams can accept it. These wandering undead have no one to command them, and they have no wisdom, so they can be cleared separately. The more people accept the mission, the faster it will be completed, and the fewer people accept it, the slower it will be..."
Dyson naturally would not hide anything. Not to mention that he had already received news that convenience would be given to the savages, even if they were ordinary adventurers, he came for their safety.
Even if it's for yourself, you have to make it clear.
This also allowed Fireball Master and the others to understand the process and the general idea more intuitively.
These are also mentioned when accepting quests in the guild, but they are not so intuitive.
They also knew that there was no limit on the number of people who could take up this mission, and there might be other players or NPCs who could take it up, but that didn't matter.
Anyway, the monsters here don't have any 'intelligence' or 'luring monsters' mechanisms, so they are very easy to deal with.
For example, the Fire Hound is very powerful. According to theoretical data on paper, it is difficult for even current players to deal with it.
But in fact, it could have been solved long ago because of the stupidity of the Flame Dog.
Not to mention that the wandering undead here are marked as very weak, and there has never been a professional level wandering in the wild, only occasionally inside the canyon there are some.
Besides, even if there really are professional-level undead, players have plenty of ways to deal with them.
In fact, the undead themselves have another blessing, which is that they tend to bring fear.
But players undoubtedly completely ignore this atmosphere.
Fear?
We are just afraid that the monster will be robbed!
Because the hunger system has been added, the players brought a lot of food this time.
We ate right over the campfire.
The soldiers who were cooking some broth by the campfire were also stunned when they saw the savages each taking out a stick-like piece of the cheapest black bread and starting to eat it.
You really don't want to bake it softer?
Aren't you afraid of hurting your teeth?
