Chapter 12: The Caravan in Distress

Because of Queen Vaya's taboo ritual, the rain of chaos broke out completely, and the environment on which mortals rely on for their living will soon degenerate into a desolate wilderness ravaged by demons.

Even though this scene has been watched countless times in the game's opening animation, Chen Yaogang felt a great sense of oppression in the face of an irresistible natural disaster.

Komaco had never heard from the bishop that the miracles witnessed by the Templars were burning meteors shattering and falling in the air, igniting scarlet flames everywhere in the earth.

And those terrifying flames are not the light given to mortals by the gods, but the crazy and twisted invasion of evil!

The village directly hit by the meteor's body has long been transformed into a ruin of fire.

The dead who were sleeping in the tombs woke up one after another under the blasphemy of evil forces. They broke out from the ground and became zombies. They would attack any living person with fresh flesh and blood on the screen. The land where the meteor fragments scattered, and the polluted life began to mutate.

Under the pollution of high-intensity evil forces, in just a few days, the places where the meteors fell will become the best nest for monsters such as the sinking demons, sheep-headed monsters, etc. All kinds of polluted and mutated creatures will begin to spread painful curses and deadly plagues everywhere.

Farm residents living in non-urban areas and responsible for producing food and vegetables will be attacked as soon as the demons hatch, and the mortality rate is extremely high. For the mainland caravans who travel long distances, the wilderness will soon be no longer a place to camp safely by lighting a bonfire and setting up a tent. Even if there are more escorts of mercenaries, the little bit of living resistance is meaningless in the face of endless demons.

Demons and the undead are no longer nightmares in bedtime stories, nor are they the glory used by a few elite heroes to train themselves. When an unformed water ghost climbs onto the boat and wants to drag Chen Yaogang and others down, he just silently returns to a sword, cuts the water ghost's head to check the inside, and then kicks the body back into the water.

Wherever you look, the sky and the fields are almost all covered with ashes and charcoal fire. The scene in front of you may only be slightly better than purgatory.

...

After experiencing a whole day of storm and witnessing the wilderness phenomena or the tragic villages along the way, Komaco and Landon's expressions were a little numb.

Fortunately, the enchanted ship survived the baptism of Chaos Rain. And it was accelerated by a wave of water. Although some equipment fell into the river during the bumps and shocks, the whiteboard garbage was not worth much, and Chen Yaogang did not feel sorry for it at all.

It was just that the hull was a little damaged during the bumps. Chen Yaogang did not expect the Chaos Rain to come so quickly and was not fully prepared.

At present, even though the night is quiet, a blood moon illuminates a lot, and there are many figures shaking beside the meteorite fire pit that has not yet been extinguished in the wilderness, but Landon did not mention the matter of getting off the ship again.

Komako was still scared. Although the honor and dogma of the Templar made him eager to defeat evil, he was not stupid enough to rush in when he saw the monster: "Chan, do you know what those things are? I know that there have been undead and demons in this world, but I have never seen such a large-scale catastrophe, and it is hard to believe that the disaster spreads out from the Waya Empire... There must have become a severely affected area. I wonder if the Holy See has received news that many villages must need reinforcements."

Langdon sighed: "I'm really unlucky. If I knew this would happen, I would have married a wife and stopped. I'm a little worried about my brother now because of such a big disturbance. To be honest, my brother is the sheriff of a town, and I'm the insider who provides him with achievements and clues. Don't look at me with that look. In order to make a living, you Templars full of holy light do not understand the helplessness of the lower world."

Komako looked at the moon with a dull look. It was rare that he did not quarrel with Langdon: "Well... I am also worried about the brothers of the Knights. I was an orphan since I was a child. The Holy See adopted me and trained me to be a glorious Templar. If they were in trouble, I would feel very uneasy. Maybe this is the time for us to part. Maybe I will be ordered to go everywhere to help justice eliminate evil. What do you think?"

Chen Yaogang did not reveal any information about the future to the two. He just felt the change in the temperature of the water flow and stared at the fortress that was constantly on fire in the distance.

If you guessed correctly, the ragged fortress is the 1.0 version of Roger Watch. In the previous chaos and bumps, while the water accelerated, the boat had scratched the reefs, but the speed was still very fast. At least they had crossed the border of the Lion Empire, far away from the primitive jungle, and finally arrived at the confluence of Roger Watch.

The moment of separation was expected by Chen Yaogang. He knew very well that when he didn't have enough favorability, he could not let his followers follow him to fight monsters everywhere. Komaco and Langdon were concerned in their hearts, so it would be better to let them leave. If they were destined to see each other again next time, they might be able to form a deeper friendship.

If you don’t have the chance to see each other again, or just find their bodies, you can say ruthlessly: You can’t just not have the independent genius entourage.

"Beware of the demons and beasts in the wilderness."

Hearing the flames and cry for help from the woods and streams in the distance, Chen Yaogang just threw out a sentence, then held the wood pulp and supported the bottom of the river, gradually supporting the boat towards the riverside.

Langdon also noticed the movement over there: "Don't rush to say goodbye, there seems to be someone there to need help. And we are strong and can take the opportunity to earn some travel expenses."

After bumps and bumps along the way, the boat that Chen Yaogang repeatedly repaired but still leaked finally completed its mission before it fell apart.

After a glance, the boat only had a speed bonus of 2% at this time, and the previous enchantment blessing was almost exhausted during the bumps and damage, so it was meaningless to continue repairing.

After all, repairing the enchanted vehicle will consume twice the mana value, and Chen Yaogang is just a barbarian with insufficient mana value for the time being.

Everyone is in danger of disasters in troubled times, and Chen Yaogang also needs to maintain a certain state of combat and cannot test his potential limits as brainlessly as before.

Watching the boat float down the river, Chen Yaogang casually cut the whiteboard equipment and walked towards the stream and woods with the two.

Perhaps it is far away from the Vaya Empire, and the density of meteors in the Lion Empire is lower than expected, so the damage in most towns should not be particularly serious.

Although the fortress that Roger watched was very broken before the arrival of Chaos Rain, that land had the purifying and protection magic injected by the ancient nun of the Heart Eyes.

Compared to the tragic situation where the meteor evil fire spreads and directly kills the village, the meteor that smashes through the sewer can at most burn one-third of the houses inside the "fortress".

"God! My call for help is effective. I saw reinforcements coming!"

"You damn cowards, how can you leave me behind? Please, please help me! I am willing to really pay, I swear to the gods!"

Chen Yaogang and others approached, but found that the caravan was also a coincidence unlucky. After meeting the revived undead, the horse was frightened and ran away. He fell into the stream and fell to death. The undead attracted by the flesh and blood breath were entrenched here. The unexpected mercenaries and caravan members either fled or died. Only the slightly fat businessman accidentally climbed up a fir tree. He hung on the trunk of a big tree and kept kicking the rotten zombie he wanted to climb up and eat.

What a low-level monster... Chen Yaogang didn't feel any threat from the zombie group. He just raised his long sword and rushed into the zombie group, and cut them all over in a few minutes.

"Wow, you're a wild... a savage! Uh, you're really good at it. Am I safe? Am I safe now? Can I come down?"

"What's your name? We just got lost. Where is this? You'd better make this clear before I get angry."

The fat businessman confirmed that the zombie was dead, and slid down from the tree with a slight slam, clapped his hands, and threw the promise directly out of the sky, checking his goods with heartache. But before the merchant could speak, Chen Yaogang, who noticed the other party's eyes, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up as if he was lifting a fat hamster. The fat businessman's struggle and twisting looked extremely ridiculous, which made Langdon unable to help but kick him.

Komaco frowned: "Hey, maybe you should learn to be gentle. You can't communicate normally."

The fat businessman finally regained his freedom, but he did not dare to underestimate this muscular barbarian with violent minds: "I'm sorry, sorry, my name is Kidman, I remember it, ha! I just said that the reward is like this, this is mine... Ouch! Where is my wallet? Why is my wallet missing!"

He was actually Kidman, the fat man who stayed in Roger's watchtower to gambling equipment? Chen Yaogang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Kidman from another world had such a virtue, but he was still as cheap as he was. If he didn't beat him up, he wouldn't be honest in doing business with new and new adventurers.

"You have 60 gold coins, and there are tips inside, so you're welcome." Before Kidman discovered the actual situation, Langdon had thrown his shriveled purse back.

Then Langdon showed a strange expression and whispered to Chen Yaogang: "Brother, ahem, that's right, I have some serious problems with this outfit. I should need some money on my way back to find my brother. Can I take half of it first? If I meet in the future, I will find a way to return it to you."

"My money! That's my wife's book I have saved up with hard work! You are just robbers!" Kidman cried bitterly and hugged his head and screamed. His acting skills were extremely realistic. In fact, this fat man is very rich, and 60 gold coins are no problem at all.

Chen Yaogang was too lazy to speak out in front of the "alternative dependent" because he was not good at speaking the character of a barbarian, so he was just too lazy to try to expose him.

"You and Komake are separated, just leave me one." Chen Yaogang didn't say much. He knew that inflation existed in this world. Because there were more and more dead people, the supply supplies were getting smaller and smaller, and the total amount of gold coins remained unchanged. Although gold coins can be used as base currency to purchase enchantment stones in the future...

But in the face of death, money is indeed something outside of the body.

"It's easy to say." Langdon said thank you in his heart. He was not very good at taking off the disguise that was good at telling dirty jokes in front of strangers. However, Chen Yaogang has a good personality and is relatively reliable in his strength. If he had the opportunity to act with him, he might be better than being a thief.

"Thank you, I will remember." Komaco was more honest and simple, because he really couldn't just wear a fur that was easily exposed, so he went back to find his Knights brothers.

"Damn, how could I meet you... Forget it! Since I have received so much money from me, I think you are very strong. Can you help pull the car? That damn beast almost killed me. I also fed it a lot of high-quality feed yesterday. I didn't expect it to do this to me..." The fat man Kidman began to murmur again. Chen Yaogang saw some escaped mercenaries and merchants watching here in the distance. He thought that the other party had many people, so he could help him to improve his reputation and goodwill.

"Talk about the key points, you haven't answered my question yet. Also, don't try to sit on it and be lazy and push the cart by yourself, otherwise I will stop doing it."

Under pressure from Chen Yaogang, Kidman had just lifted his legs and had to put them back on the spot. The slightly fat businessman had to wipe his sweat, grit his teeth and push the cart, and in a constipated tone, telling them about the surrounding business maps and things related to Roger Watch.

"Well, now that troubles keep breaking out, I'm not surprised that you scumbags who cheat money but don't work hard. Maybe you all heard of the tragedy that happened in the Vaya Empire. The crazy queen didn't know what happened. The court mage of the Lion Empire had discovered signs of catastrophe. The Holy See also prophecy warnings, but they did it too late to prevent the disaster from coming. Kidman, who was unbeliever, wanted to make a fortune, but my horse was scared to death by the zombie..."

Komaco began to talk about his experiences: "Rogue Watch is a famous expeditionary fortress in the history of the Lion Empire. Although it has been abandoned for a long time, it still stands on the important road of the Strait. It should only take a few days to go to Sostan Wooden City from Rogue Watch. I hope everyone is fine..."

Langdon didn't say anything. Just look at the guy's expression and knew that he had planned a secret itinerary, and the thief's escape route never needed anyone's concern.

"Kidman, I really didn't expect you to be alive!"

"Yes, I paid enough to polish the magic lamp and summon three warriors who devoured gold coins, so I was rescued. According to the agreement written in the contract, if you encounter danger, abandon your employer and run away directly. I will deduct your pocket money this month and kick your ass hard to make up for my gold coins loss."

"Kidman, you're really good at telling jokes. Are you sure Roger and the nuns will do business with us?"

"Don't doubt it. I've always been good at telling jokes, especially those kinds of jokes to women! After all, I'm Kidman. As long as Kidman's voice opens and pats his belly and purse, any woman will obediently open the city gate. Then I waved the ruby-inlaid golden scepter in front of them, and kicked the dirty white devils into the sewer..."

Chen Yaogang was extremely speechless. This fat man was even worse than in the game. Not only was hesitant to eat, he was lazy and did not work, but he also told some very obscure and lustful jokes.

What's even more damn is that Chen Yaogang actually understood it, he knew what he experienced when playing games.

"Kidman, you're finally here. Those women don't want to open the door!"

"Wow, the savage in the north? He looks like a giant. Am I too short? To be honest, I always want to have a savage slave..."
