Chapter 305: 251: Top-level Devouring, Soldiers Approaching the Nest (4K)_1
But now, he has… oh, no, he hasn’t.
Before the destruction of his territory, he took some of his elites and used ‘Cross-Boundary Escape’ to return to Lanxing.
Since he had already become a lord, his real body was present before, and after returning to Lanxing, he would not leave behind a ‘mediator body’ and would not perish along with his territory.
He has only fallen to the status of a Ranger Player, which is a stroke of luck in his misfortune, compared to many players who have died in battle.
However, some players who are out hunting monsters may unfortunately encounter the monster wave that comes out of the Nest of Filth. They may not be able to escape.
“The cruelty of the Eternal World has just begun to surface.”
At Red Leaf Territory, Lord Zhou Ye was looking at the latest news officially released by Shiling Town on the forum, unable to speak as he clenched his lips.
Just a few days ago, he was full of ambition, contacting all sides, preparing to rise to prominence during this period of crisis and opportunity presented by the Red Fog Disaster Moon.
But before he could start to rise, one of his partners was already gone.
“My territory is still quite far from the Nest of Filth, but…”
“If the officials of Shiling Town can’t eliminate this nest, I… I should pack up and run tomorrow.”
Even if doing so would mean losing everything he had built over time, or even accumulating a large amount of debt, it would still be better than losing his life. If he prepared in advance for evacuation, he could take more resources with him.
Meanwhile, less powerful lords in the surrounding area have begun to pack up, preparing a strategic retreat.
Making such a decision is hard, but the disaster has not yet peaked. Their territories will inevitably fall. They figured it would be better to sell their resources in a timely manner and become rich among the Ranger Players.
At the same moment, in Shiling Town.
The war council convened at the fastest speed, and several powerful veteran lords stepped forward to assemble teams for the expedition.
The Old Fishing Man continued to hold down the fort in Shiling Town to stabilize the people’s minds, but he sent his strongest general, ‘Demonic Flame Wang Qi’, leading several Four-order Leader Level powerhouses, to join the Expeditionary Team.
The Old Fishing Man has always been low-key, mainly active several decades ago, and his reputation is not standout outside of the fishing circle.
But at this moment, seven Leading Realm powerhouses stepped forward. This reassuring force.
“Is Shiling Town’s defense, okay?”
“No problem, I still have several Fourth-order generals here.”
The Old Fishing Man declared boldly, “Besides, I have already asked Pan Shi City for assistance. Although they can’t send Legendary Realm reinforcements, there will still be a group of strong people coming to help.”
“With the remaining guards in Shiling Town, we can hold on until the reinforcements arrive.”
After the strongest group of veteran lords of Shiling Town led their armies on the expedition, the overall defense capability of the town was somewhat inadequate. Fortunately, the most terrifying phase of the Disaster Moon hasn’t come yet.
In case of an accident, it should always be possible to hold on for half a day.
The lords participating in the war council understood and looked at the Old Fishing Man with respect in their eyes.
With such a big shot there, they could definitely take the Nest of Filth.
Go for it!
One by one, the armies quickly set off.
At Tianyuan Territory, the army is assembling.
Due to its close proximity to the Land of Filth, it has been noticeably affected by the Nest of Filth.
From just now till now, there have been several batches of large monster waves attacking the eastern wall.
The number of corpses piled up is so vast that the Sacrificial Black Coffin can hardly devour it.
(I can’t swallow anymore. I really can’t.)
“Bang!”
Mu Yuan bursted the black smoke and shadows that emerged from the black coffin with a punch and continued to order the removal of the corpses.
They need to clear up the corpses before the next monster tide arrives, and at the same time, pick up all the Remnant Souls, Soul Sands, and slightly valuable spoils of war.
The ‘byproducts’ produced by the Nest of Filth were actually quite valuable.
Unfortunately…
“The existence of the Nest of Filth is too dangerous, it can’t be allowed to continue to expand.”
Just like Lord Cui Long, Mr. Mu also deeply understands the dangers of the Nest of Filth.
When he first started browsing forums to build up his knowledge, one of the most researched categories of data were ‘disaster-related data’.
He could list innumerable cases of territory destruction.
– Some lords tried to control the Land of Filth and ended up being corrupted and fell.
– Some lords were steadily building their territories when they were suddenly wiped out by a legendary creature passing by.
– Some Lords died due to being assassinated by enemy nations.
– Some Lords died during Secret Realm raids.
– Some lords died because they couldn’t agree on how to split spoils with their teammates.
– 10000+.
Once the Nest of Filth expands to its full form, it can devour hundreds of kilometers of territory and turn it into the Land of Filth. Meanwhile, the monster tide that surges from it can turn hundreds to thousands of kilometers of territory into a dead zone.
And they keep on attacking further cities.
Actually, there must be a Nest of Filth deep in the wilderness that the Tai Xuan Alliance neither has time nor power to deal with. Fortunately, when these monsters leave the Land of Filth, they will also fight each other.
But the impact of a Nest of Filth close to the Alliance is very direct.
“Six years ago, not far from the Tai Xuan Frontier, a Nest of Filth appeared. The discovery was not timely. It wasn’t until several peripheral territories were broken by the wave that alarm was raised, but it was too late, and the nest had already grown..”
