Disaster Strikes

The bear is enjoying the dressing service of the rabbit.

It seemed that because of his previous act of voluntarily giving up the right to allocate the death of the squad leader, Rabbit was very fond of him. The bandages actually had cute bows, which made Chen Mo speechless when he saw this scene.

Mao Xiong didn't care about this.

Standing next to the rabbit, this guy has a tough and tender feeling.

"Why don't we call it the Mist World? Let's just call it the Toxic World. The damage done by these guys is not as good as the poison on the weapons."

The squad leader's whirlwind slashing skill just now opened a lot of wounds on the bear's body. The huge amount of toxins that followed seemed to have some defense-breaking reactions when they were superimposed on each other. The body's cells' defense immunity was not fully developed for a while. Cleaning up resulted in damage data of -5, -6, and -7. At this point, the battle was over, and I couldn't help but complain.

After the wound was bandaged, the rabbit performed restorative treatment on the bear.

Naturally, there is no need to worry about the injury of the bear due to the treatment amount of the rabbit.

"It seems that the gentlemen here are completely unwary and have almost forgotten the cruelty of war."

Nightingale and Maoyan waited in this wheat field for a long time, but they were disappointed when they did not see any supporters in the castle to collect the information they needed.

But looking at the overall mission, this is undoubtedly a good sign.

"Humph! This rotten family probably hasn't experienced war for too long."

Yuli sneered, as if he saw a piece of fresh fat, and his greed and desire were constantly stimulating the expansion of his ambitions.

After Maoyan observed for a while, he signaled: "In that case, there is a guard team over there, about one kilometer away, coming towards us. Can we deal with it together?"

Everyone naturally agreed.

…

Maika was once an adventurer in Glory City.

Although adventurers are at home all over the world and have no fixed abode, which is fundamentally different from farmers, Maika, who was born in Glory City, always believes that Glory City is his home.

Until he was twenty years old, he came to Howell Castle and met his current wife.

Even now, he still remembers that evening.

After following the team wandering in the fog for five days, I came to the market to sell some of my harvest in exchange for supplies such as sulfur, dry food, and medicine before embarking on the next leg of the journey.

However.

The first time he saw his wife, he felt that his heart was almost melted by this beautiful woman. His dream of becoming a high-level adventurer also disappeared in this moment.

This is a woman worth protecting for the rest of her life!

Ten years have passed.

Today, he has become a member of the Howell family guard and gave birth to a child with his wife.

With the continuous improvement of his strength and the trust of the Howell family, he was promoted to squad leader. His daily task was to drive away poisons and strange beasts from the wheat fields, patrol the streets and manage public security, which was relaxing and comfortable.

If I have to say I have any dissatisfaction, it's just one thing.

That was the fact that Young Master Elon once coveted his wife. What happened, but he did not dare to say anything about it and could only bury it in his heart.

There was a trace of hatred and helplessness in his eyes.

The Howell family was once a famous family in the Glory Mountains. It once gave birth to a second-level poison master and accumulated a lot of wealth and honor.

But with the death of this powerful poison master who led the family to glory, the Howell family, like most families in the Glory Mountains, gradually declined. Now it can only be said that it barely maintains its territorial independence and is not affected by the influence of other families. That’s all.

The current lord of the Howell family is named Albert Howell, known as the Code Whisperer.

Albert had two sons.

The eldest son is named Elon Howell. When Albert was young, he focused exclusively on developing the political affairs of the family territory and rarely disciplined his son, causing him to gradually become a depraved playboy. The female relatives in the family territory frequently attacked, and sometimes they also touched the female relatives of other families. He did not waste his good skin, and completely became a scum, unable to shoulder the important task of reviving the family.

Albert, who was disappointed with Elon Howell, gradually focused his energy on his second son, Wallace Howell.

This second son indeed lived up to expectations!

Not only is he very talented in the poison master training path at a young age, but he is also loved by the people in the territory. Maika also has great admiration for this young master Hua Lai.

If he inherits the position of lord of the Howell family, he may lead the family to prosperity in the future.

"stop!"

Maika, who led nine guards to inspect the farmland, seemed absent-minded along the way, but suddenly seemed to notice something and signaled everyone to stop.

His past career as an adventurer left some lingering instincts imprinted on his soul, including his sensitivity to the smell of blood.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

The guards under his command have a very harmonious relationship with him. They usually eat, drink and go on missions together, and they are all trustworthy brothers.

"It smells of blood!"

Maika's answer made everyone look at each other.

However, Maika didn't think too much. He said with a solemn expression: "There is probably a magical beast hidden here. Everyone, be careful. If you are unable to defeat it, ask for help from the castle in time."

"knew."

The guards looked solemn, and they trusted the squad leader very much.

"Who!"

One of the guards noticed something unusual and shouted, and the other guards looked over.

Seeing that this group of guards was completely different from the previous group of guards, they actually took a defensive posture. Chen Mo and others no longer hid, and Maoyan fired directly, declaring a decisive battle.

"Enemy attack!!"

After reacting, Maika quickly stopped, looked at the menacing enemy, and immediately issued an order: "Retreat! Return to the castle!"

After hearing this, several guards followed Maika and fled towards the castle without any hesitation, blowing the alarm horn as they ran.

Maika could feel that the enemy was pursuing him with all his strength.

But he didn't dare to stop.

Although he doesn't know where these enemies come from, one thing is certain, they are all powerful, far stronger than himself. His wife and children are still waiting for him in the castle, and he must not fall here!

"Reinforcements from the castle have arrived."

A female voice among the enemy attackers made Maika breathe a sigh of relief.

Nightingale said helplessly: "It seems that this should be the Knights in the intelligence. We can't go any deeper, retreat!"

The six natural disaster victims hurriedly retreated toward the mist.

A group of cavalry quickly rushed out of the castle and flew past Maika. He could finally stop and take a breath to rest.

Of the nine subordinates who escaped with him, only five were left.

Although he was inevitably punished after he returned, fortunately he saved his life and could see his wife and children again.

After a while.

These dozen cavalrymen did not choose to rush forward after seeing the natural disaster victims entering the fog. After wandering in front of the fog for a while, they came to Maika's side.

The brown and black war horses lead the way.

The leader is one of the minor leaders of the Howell family, Layton the Beheader.

Wearing a cold metal helmet, he looked down at Mika from a high position, as if he was about to chop off his head at any time, his face was terrifyingly gloomy.

"Why don't you try to hold them off?"

"Sorry, they are too strong."

Maika was quick to think and gritted his teeth and responded: "Their strength far exceeds mine, and they have very weird weapons. I suspect they are natural disaster victims, and I don't want to die in their hands."

Hearing the word "scourge", the knights were confused.

According to legend, almost all major families master an ancient magic, which is to summon the natural disasters from hell. They are extremely weird, cruel, and powerful.

But summoning them to come also requires paying a huge price.

Therefore, unless there is deep hatred or a desire to replace them, under normal circumstances, no one will easily summon these natural disasters to come.

When Beheader Layton heard this, his eyes under the metal mask stared at Maika.

"Follow me back to the castle and report the information about the invaders to the lord. He will personally convict you of your actions and you will receive a fair trial."

"yes."

Maika is not afraid of Layton the Beheader. Although he is a cruel and powerful leader, he is also very fair and has a compassionate heart. He is loved by many guards in the castle and has high prestige.

McCain vaguely felt that the Howell family was being shrouded in a shadow and was in a precarious state.

Maybe it's not a bad thing to be punished at this time.

…

The six people who entered the misty forest couldn't help but sigh after confirming that the knights of the Howell family had not entered.

"It is worthy of being the core deterrent force of the Howell family."

Even the furry bear couldn't help but show dignity.

Maoyan exclaimed: "These knights are not ordinary people. Dealing with so many knights may be more difficult than ordinary big bosses."

The nightingale looked thoughtful.

"This is the famous Leighton Knights of the Howell family. Each member has a strength close to that of an elite guard. Leader Leighton the Beheader should have reached the level of a mutated mini-boss. With our strength, unless we lead them into the fog, , otherwise I’m afraid it will cost a lot.”

After hearing Nightingale's analysis, everyone deeply agreed.

Even Youli, who was previously ambitious, could not help but show caution at this moment. Although he was greedy, he was more afraid of danger.

Based on intelligence.

In the Glory Mountains, the strength of the subordinates of each family castle is generally divided into three arms.

First of all, there are the ordinary guards who are common in daily life. Their strength is equivalent to that of the black minions in the hive world. Except for the elite team captains, ordinary guards no longer pose much threat to senior natural disaster victims.

Secondly, there are the city-defending heavy-armored guards, which are an intermediate-level unit and are responsible for guarding the city walls and core areas of the castle. They are relatively rare in number and their strength is one level higher than that of ordinary guards.

Finally, there is the Knights.

Many families in the Glory Mountains have even been dismissed as third-rate families because they find it difficult to put together a decent knighthood. It can be said that the knights are the face of the family castle in the Glory Mountains. If conditions permit, they will use all their financial resources to Maintain a decent order of knights.

"That's it for today."

Nightingale comforted him: "Our mission this time is to collect basic information here. Let's look at the reward level from Master Lacy. The mission lasts for a full month. There is no need to rush it. As for staying behind closed doors for a month, it is even more unreasonable. It’s possible, but we can’t let the farmland lie abandoned and wait to starve to death, right?”

Just a moment later.

Noticing that the knights had returned to the castle, the six of them came to the farmland in the other direction. After confirming that it was safe, they took turns on duty and rested comfortably in the sun.
