Chapter 43 Who is secretly worshipping me? !
Deep in the first floor of the maze, in the center of the sewer corridor, palm-sized pieces of corpses were piled on the open space.
Standing in front of the pile of meat, the burly lizardman chief clenched his claws, and the scales on his face twisted together, like a demon crawling out of the abyss.
Total destruction
No one in the entire delegation was spared!
Including the leader, “Crown Warrior” Okto, none of the Earth Dragon Clan’s warriors returned! “Really… you’re bullying the dragon too much!”
He roared with his head raised in rage, and the spreading ripples were like waves, slamming heavily into the walls around him.
The metal pipes trembled at his roar, making mournful cries as they could not bear the heavy weight.
The same was true for the lizardmen warriors standing around, all of them had hatred written all over their faces.
They wanted to rush into the devil's territory immediately and skin the heinous guy alive!
A lizardman warrior with strange symbols painted on his chest stepped forward, growling angrily.
"Declare war! Chief!"
His name is Zerik, a temple warrior of the earth dragon clan and also Octo's younger brother.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the roar of another temple warrior.
"Declare war? The war has already begun!"
The voice was echoed by countless lizardmen, and the cry of war resounded throughout the clearing.
"Blood debt must be paid with blood!"
"Don't even mention the Demon King! Even if it's the Demon God! You can't insult us like this!"
"Besides, we don't even know if he is the Demon King! We must capture him and interrogate him!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
Feeling the boiling anger of his people, Sanu also made up his mind.
"It seems that the Demon King is not going to negotiate."
After saying this, he turned to the temple priest standing beside him and gave the order in a hateful voice.
"Morrag, take a team of elite soldiers and head straight to the Demon King's territory. Be sure to bring the Demon King's head to me!"
The old priest nodded slightly, and the ornaments hanging under his robe made a clinking sound.
"As you command, Patriarch."
That hoarse voice also contained suppressed anger.
A soul with unlimited potential——
He had just trained Octo to the level of fine steel, but he died in the maze!
He swore! He would make the devil pay! And bring Octo's soul back to the incubation pool! ...
The earth is shaking.
Maze is roaring.
Nearly a thousand Lizardmen soldiers gathered from all directions at the tent where the horn was blown. At the call of Priest Morrag, they formed a square formation and marched towards the direction of the Demon King.
They are the most elite hunters of the younger generation of the Earth Dragon Clan, and also the most skilled soldiers.
Unlike the mob-like ratmen, and also different from the beast-like cave spiders, they are real warriors! They hold swords and shields, spears, short bows and sickles in their hands.
Most of these things were looted from adventurers, other species of lizardmen, or from farms on the surface.
In order to avenge the Demon King, the Earth Dragons had invested a huge sum of money, almost putting all the chips they had accumulated since the end of the war into action! As the Lizardmen army marched forward, the adventurers who entered the maze through the entrance of Silver Pine Town also sensed something unusual from the earth-shaking movement.
Lying on the floor of the sewer corridor, the experienced adventurer listened for a long time and his expression changed slightly.
five hundred--
No! There must be at least a thousand! The movement of the army marching in unison was clearly different from the scattered activities of the monsters.
"The Lizardmen are gathering!"
He growled, stood up swiftly from the ground, and shouted to the several terrified adventurer teammates behind him.
"Hurry back to the maze entrance!"
The same scene was played out in various places in the maze.
At the same time, on the other side, the Yinsong Town militia camp, which had sensed the unusual movement underground, also rang the bell.
The farmers who threw away their hoes and the woodcutters who threw away their axes all ran to the armory. At the roar of their superiors, they picked up their weapons in panic and armed themselves like soldiers.
Silver Pine Town is built right above the entrance to the maze, so if a monster invasion happens it will be no joke.
Judging from the noise underground, the group of monsters were most likely heading in their direction! Peeping at Sheriff Adlai's furrowed brow, the militiamen standing in line whispered to each other in low voices.
"Damn it! Isn't the Demon King dead? What are those monsters doing now?!"
"There are so many entrances to the maze... why did you choose ours?!"
"It's obvious... they're here to rob. If they don't come here, will they go to the wilderness?"
A timid-looking man said in a trembling voice.
"I heard... the devil seems to be alive again recently."
"How is that possible?!"
The balding middle-aged man carrying a musket opened his eyes wide, and the barrel of the gun almost hit the back of the head of the person behind him.
"The devil is resurrected?!"
There was an uproar in the queue.
Everyone's face showed expressions of surprise and uncertainty.
"It's probably some rude adventurer who spread the rumor... Damn, those unemployed people never do anything serious all day."
"No... Hebar said that he was on duty at the bottom of the maze and happened to run into an undead and lost his shield..."
"Undead?! In the maze?!"
The undead appearing in the maze does explain something, and the rumors seem to be getting closer to the truth.
People were anxious and worried, but at the same time they had a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
Perhaps Hebal was mistaken.
It's not surprising that the drunkard, who hangs out with adventurers from other places all day and goes to work drunk, has acquired the bad habit of talking nonsense.
At this time, the captain standing in front of the team suddenly shouted.
"Quiet! Shut your mouths! Didn't you hear the bell? Stand at attention!"
Everyone quickly shut their mouths and tensed every nerve in their bodies in readiness.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a sad face walked out of the main gate of the militia camp.
His name is Chel, and he is the president of the Silver Pine Town branch of the Adventurer's Guild.
Earlier today, he had just received a notice from his superiors that the delegation weight of Yinsong Town was to be increased, but he didn't expect something to happen so soon.
Seeing President Cher approaching, Sheriff Adlai hurriedly walked up to him and asked with a serious expression.
"What's going on down there?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Chel said in a low voice.
"I heard that the lizardmen have gathered not far from the intersection of the maze... My guess may not be accurate, but you can use it as a reference. Maybe a new demon king has come to the depths of the maze."
Adlai widened his eyes, and a barely perceptible panic appeared in his pupils.
Why did the devil suddenly set his sights on this place? !
In the last war, Silverpine Town suffered almost no damage compared to other towns in the Principality of Campbell, and the main battlefields were concentrated around Thunder City.
Compared to that big city with a population of one million, the population of Yinsong Town is only a fraction of the former.
Could it be that... the new demon king had changed his previous strategy? He had turned his target from the city to the countryside? He didn't know what impact this would have on the overall situation, and he didn't really care.
But if this is true, he, the sheriff, will probably be consumed sooner or later!
There is only one way to survive this disaster safely, and that is to make contributions and be transferred away.
The opportunity seems to be right in front of us.
After gritting his teeth, Adlai finally made a decision and looked back at the militia that had already assembled behind him.
"Enter the maze!"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned at first, and then there was an uproar.
"Enter the maze?!"
"us?!"
"What a joke!"
Not only the militiamen, but even the team leaders at all levels showed surprised expressions on their faces.
As a militia, their only mission was defense. Even if they occasionally used offense as defense, it was only in extremely special circumstances.
"Shut up!"
Adlai interrupted the complaints of the group of peasants with a roar and found an excuse in just a second.
"I am your commander! Also, are you planning to fight monsters in your own living room? Or in your bedroom or kitchen? Your wives, children, and elderly people...are all here!"
"Believe me, offense is the best defense! There is no room to dodge in the narrow maze, all you need to do is reload and pull the trigger! Not to mention a bunch of beasts, even if the devil himself comes, he will be shot into a sieve by our volleys!"
This war mobilization convinced some people.
After the war, they either built new houses or added some new household items to the old ones...if they could help it, they really didn't want to fight a war on their doorstep.
Then go fight in the maze.
Just as Commander Adlai said, the battlefield there is limited in width, and no matter how many monsters there are, it will be difficult to deploy.
They only need to line up in five sections and take turns firing, which is enough to beat the beasts to a pulp...
…
On the first floor of the maze, near the entrance to the Demon King's territory, the Spiderman army arrived before the Lizardman army.
Led by Arakdo, vast swarms of cave spiders came in droves.
That number is as many as 2,000.
According to the Demon King's request, half of them are "weavers" who are good at weaving webs, and the other half are "diggers" who are good at digging holes.
The player at the entrance of the maze was shocked by the scene in front of him and had no idea what was going on.
"What the hell? Monsters are attacking the city again?"
But the names hanging above the heads of those monsters seem to be green?
In other words... it's our own people's intention? One of the larger, braver and stronger crypt spiders stepped forward energetically and spoke loudly to the skeletons in the blood hall.
"I am Arakdo, the messenger of Shadowweaver's Lair! Please tell the Demon King that his most loyal servant is waiting for his orders!"
The players couldn't understand what he was saying.
But with Youyou here, everything is not a problem and subtitles are added quickly.
At the same time, on the other side, Luo Yan, who was sitting cross-legged in the magic workshop meditating, was staring at the faith value on the attribute panel, especially the one representing "daily growth".
I don’t know what’s going on.
Ever since he sent away the messenger from the Shadow Weaver's Lair, the parameters that had been as still as stagnant water began to rise rapidly.
Currently, this number has jumped from over 500 to 1200, far surpassing the "daily consumption" by a large margin!
Just when Luo Yan thought that the rise was almost reaching its peak, the number suddenly jumped up again and directly broke through the 2,000 mark!
[Faith value: 14077 Daily increase: 2141~2200 Daily consumption: 499]
The daily average growth of net value easily exceeded 1,000 points! As long as this number does not fall below 1,000 for three consecutive days, 500 closed beta qualifications will be obtained, and his players can form a group! I don’t know which smart guy fell in love with him. Luo Yan couldn’t help but let Youyou kowtow to that guy.
The increase to 1200 can be counted as the top of Shadow Weaver Nest, but where did the remaining 800 points come from?
"Good fellow... who on earth is secretly worshipping me?!" - (It will be available the day after tomorrow, brothers! I beg for monthly tickets and first orders in advance~~~~ Speaking of which, this new book period is really full of twists and turns. In just over twenty days, I first encountered all kinds of chaos with masked torture, and then I encountered the red dot bug. After resisting the pressure, I was about to be removed from the new book list, and then I didn’t finish the game... I have already felt the suppression of destiny. Fortunately, the follow-up reading data is not bad. Thank you all for your unswerving support for TT. Let’s talk about other feelings about the release later!)
