Heart of Empire Chapter 21: The Faceless Man of Ghost Knife Port
The hairless black-skinned hyena's attack on Aurianadu was quickly suppressed. Although the number of those hyenas matched that of the mercenaries, under the leadership of Dane himself, the addition of Shaco's group knight oath, and the organized battle formation, the mercenaries paid a negligible price. Kill all those monsters.
Actually this battle is nothing to be particularly proud of. Nothing more than mindless monsters, much weaker than the Faceless Ones.
Later, after tidying up the battlefield a bit, Dane and the others did not let down their vigilance, lest other monsters would come. During the period, there were two gluttonous mercenaries who wanted to try what kind of taste this black hyena, which had never been seen before, would taste if it was roasted, but Dane stopped it. Before, he didn't have any special feeling for some special supernatural energy. But now, at any rate, he has also attached a heroic template of a 'violent magister'. Even if it is mainly based on the attribute of strength, it can still be regarded as a spellcasting profession. He could feel a very uncomfortable energy from these black hyenas, and made him realize that the meat of these hyenas should not be eaten.
But the power of foodies is great. When Dane was not paying attention, there was still a fool who tried it. As a result, this guy has been squatting behind a big rock in the second half of the night, and it is said that he even pulled out the food he ate the night before. At the same time, my whole body was sore, my hands and feet were weak, and my face was pale. It was as if I had fought a certain **** for 3,000 rounds the night before, and I couldn't stand up straight.
This idiot who didn't obey orders was undoubtedly given a severe lesson by Dane. And with the lessons learned from the past, no one dared to eat hyena meat anymore. It was really poisonous, and it was useless if it was cooked.
Apart from such a small episode, nothing special happened until dawn, let alone a new attack. Estimated according to this situation, Dane came up with a more optimistic view: the vicinity of the place established by Auriel Duo seems to be the same as the information obtained by the investigation team led by Sacco. , except for a small number of black-skinned hyenas, there is no large-scale monster cluster.
This is undoubtedly great news for the development of Orienado. As long as the scattered hyenas nearby are cleaned up, at least for a period of time, he doesn't need to worry about the defense of Aurianadu.
……
In the early morning of the second day, Dane saw a total of fifteen elves at the Divine Guidance Tree Tower next to Aurinadu, and they were very busy. He nodded in satisfaction. According to the estimated information given in the "Emperor's Heart" system, the construction of the Divine Guidance Tree Tower will be completed by the end of the night.
Now, Auriana basically has no self-defense ability, and Dane must keep Shaco to guard his rare tree of life. As for himself, he returned to Ghost Knife Port, and he had to inspect it to see how the construction of Ghost Knife Port was going.
Right now, he is quite busy. On the one hand, the Ghost Knife Port built by the mercenaries needs him to watch; the Aurinadu built by Dynasty Heart also needs him to watch. With no other skills, he could only keep running on both sides.
Arriving at Ghost Knife Port, Dane saw more than a dozen corpses of faceless men outside the simple fence surrounding it.
Several mercenaries who were collecting the corpse saw Dane and came up to say hello. Dane recognized these two people, and he asked: "Hal, Noah, what's going on? What about Delin and Golobo?"
"When we were having breakfast this morning, we were attacked by these monsters. Brother Delin is in front, and I will take you there."
Noah led the way ahead, and after a while, Dane saw Delin outside the simple fence that had just been built.
"Boss, you are back."
"En." Dane said, "What are these monsters?"
"The ones we encountered this morning should be wandering scattered monsters. We didn't let go of any of them, and killed them all."
Dane shook his head, and said helplessly: "The owner of the island is really hospitable... However, you handled it well. If you encounter such faceless monsters in the future, as long as they find us, Don't hesitate, just kill them all!"
The reason why Dane made such a request is to slow down the time of being discovered by a large group of faceless people.
What he lacks most now is time. It will take time for Ghost Knife Port to build initial defense facilities, and Aurui Nai will slowly develop. During this process, Dane didn't want to start a life-and-death duel with those faceless men at all. He even hopes to wait until the future, when the two territories are almost built, before a showdown.
So Dane said: "Let Golobo take two teams and set up an outpost on the west side. If there are few enemies coming, let him solve it by himself, and don't miss any one; if the enemy comes If there are too many coming... also tell him not to resist, and send the news back in advance."
Seeing that Delin nodded and expressed his understanding, Dane continued, "Now, we have to speed up the construction a little bit. Let everyone start working, and strive to build the whole building before dark. A fence that protects the entire camp.”
Now is really not the time to fight desperately with those faceless men, at least Dane definitely doesn't want to take the initiative to find trouble with those monsters.
According to the information sent back by Delin yesterday ~IndoMTL.com~ the faceless settlement next to the freshwater lake has a scale of more than 200 people. This scale is not small, and Dane does not want to confront them head-on. In terms of the strength of the Horror Mercenary Corps, it is certainly possible to eliminate the Faceless Man tribe, but the casualties are hard to predict. Dane didn't want to sacrifice dozens of lives so easily.
The horror mercenary group he brought from the mainland was only two hundred in total, but the number of faceless men on the island was unknown. Dozens of people will die if a settlement is wiped out. Who knows if a new Faceless settlement will emerge after the freshwater lake is occupied?
Especially when he found the halfling captain Hull who was in charge of logistics, and learned that their current fresh water was still enough for a week or two, he didn't want to fight those faceless men now. .
Based on the ghost knife port that is being established, it is obviously a better choice to fight a defensive counterattack.
More than 20 people are in Aurianadu, and more than 20 people are at the outpost with Golobo. Dane himself brought a squadron as a mobile force, ready to attack at any time. The remaining 100 people, under the command of Delin and Tommy, are fully engaged in the construction of Ghost Knife Port. Dane hopes that with such an arrangement, he can safely pass through the most difficult early stage of entering Comilla Island.
However, when the time came to noon, he personally led a team to support Golobo at the outpost, wiped out a small wave of Faceless Men's attacking team, and chopped off the head of a Faceless Man with his own hands. Suddenly, he changed his initial thinking.
