Chapter 298 The Crisis of the Ruins

Rhodes and Baron brought dozens of soldiers to the entrance of the ruins that Gilbert discovered last week. Two huge columns stood on both sides of the entrance of the ruins.

According to the adventurers who successfully escaped, this ruin seems to have hollowed out an entire mountain and built it inside the mountain.

Originally, Rhodes planned to spend these two days smoothly, and went to the Marquis Marquis' banquet the day after tomorrow.

But the situation was very urgent, so he had to settle the matter of this ruin before leaving.

"My lord, you are finally here." Willis stepped forward excitedly after seeing Rhodes.

"You rest at ease, and I'll take care of the rest." Rhodes patted Willis on the shoulder.

Willis is the strongest among the three officers brought by the chief maester, but he was still seriously injured in this ruins, and he probably won't be able to pick up his heavy weapon in a short time. Giant curved sword.

According to Rudolph and Slade, if both of them are equipped and armed with common weapons, neither of them can match Willis alone.

And Rudolph and Slade both have Tier [-] strength.

Rhodes walked into the ruins, and in a hall after entering the ruins, he saw countless human and alien corpses.

Some surviving soldiers and adventurers sat around the campfire bandaging their wounds.

This ruin is actually a place where a foreign race lived. No one could have discovered this place. They only left a narrow entrance in an inconspicuous place in the mountains.

Countless years later, even the alien races living inside did not know that there was a passage leading to the outside world. Those alien races experienced countless civil strife in this ruin, resulting in a lot of history and culture missing, so much so that they thought this ruin was the world of all.

These messages come from an adventurer who has infiltrated the location where they live.

The adventurer captured a living alien and had one of his mage companions read its memory.

Some time ago, the entrance to the passage was discovered by a group of miners under Gilbert.

A daring miner lowered his rope, entered the passage, and found this hall, which he thought was the tomb of a certain Nord nobleman.

Later, a miner revealed the news, attracting countless adventurers.

Gilbert felt that it was too troublesome for them to climb up and down, thinking that he would just try the explosive made by improving Rhodes' black powder, so he detonated the explosive in the ruins.

So Rhodes and the others can now see the hall at the entrance of the ruins hidden inside the mountain.

The movement brought by the explosives made the aliens living in the ruins discover the arrival of the invaders, and gathered together to fight fiercely with these adventurers and Rhodes soldiers.

When Rhodes arrived, a battle had just ended.

"What's going on? Didn't it mean that the loss wasn't too big?" Rhodes asked Willis.

"When I sent you a letter earlier, those monsters only sent a small number of troops to test us. Just now they gathered a lot of people, but they were still beaten back by us. I don't know if there are only so few of them left. It's still just a temptation." Willis replied.

Rhodes used the mage ball to carefully scan the corpse of a foreign creature beside him. Using mental power to investigate was more detailed than observing with eyes.

As he explored, he recorded their characteristics with a pen so that he could deal with these ugly creatures.

This may be their last record in this world, Rhodes sneered.

The height is generally between 1.2 meters and 1.3 meters, and the body is thin and dry, but the weight is more than 120 catties. This should be caused by the heavy bones.

The skin is gray-black, the hair is sparse, the teeth are hard, the ears are large, the body odor is heavy, the eyes are shrunken, and the body is stooped.

This should be caused by the lack of light in the environment they live in. Just like the snow elves in Laogunli, they have lived in a dark environment for a long time, and their eyesight has deteriorated. They can distinguish their companions by smell, and fight by hearing and intuition.

The hard teeth should be because they still need to eat stones. Long-term lack of sunlight will lead to vitamin D deficiency. The lack of vitamin D will reduce their ability to absorb calcium, so they often eat a lot of stones to supplement calcium?

Rhodes also doesn't know whether people who lack vitamin D can use a large amount of calcium supplementation to increase their absorption.

However, looking at their rickety figures, it can be deduced that they must still be deficient in calcium.

Using the mage ball, he picked up a short bone knife used by the alien race on the ground, and used the short knife to cut open the alien race's stomach.

An unpleasant stench came out, and the yellow-green digestive juice mixed with a few pieces of gravel flowed on the ground. In addition to the stones, there were also a few mushrooms that had not been fully digested in the digestive juice.

"What are you doing?" Baron asked curiously.

"Record their characteristics. This is the last record of their existence in this world. After tonight, this race will no longer exist." Rhodes stood up and replied.

He may have kindness and compassion for human beings, but he has no mercy for such alien races. Recording the last traces of their existence is already his kindness.

What's more, these alien races brutally killed more than 20 of his soldiers, and the bodies of those soldiers have been restrained by Willis.

Rhodes first went to the small town next to the mountains to see the mutilated corpses sent back, and then came to this ruins.

This kind of alien who looks like Gollum in the Lord of the Rings can only beat a soldier wearing a full set of armor in three or four.

If there are even two such soldiers, they need at least a dozen to go together.

Rhodes could imagine what it was like just looking at the corpses on the ground.

Numerous alien races rushed out from that door, holding short knives and pounced on these adventurers and soldiers, jumped on them, attacked them with rough bone short knives and teeth, and swallowed their flesh and blood.

Rhodes put on a set of knight armor, put on the "Ring of Swiftness" obtained in the fortress, which can increase the reaction speed, and then took a sword in one hand to enter the ruins behind the hole in the hall gate.

"You guard this place well, don't let any of the alien races go, I'll go in and kill them all!" Rhodes turned his head and said to Willis and the large group of soldiers he brought behind him.

"What big talk! How powerful do you think you are?" A young adventurer with red eyes said loudly.

This person should have just lost his companion, and Rhodes can understand this kind of grief, which made him lose his mind.

Now it is estimated that not only him, but also the adventurers next to him have such thoughts, and they barely defended this place after paying blood and sacrifices.

But Rhodes uttered such big words, as if he didn't pay attention to their efforts and sacrifices.

It sounds like the words of someone who doesn't know anything.

"Please believe in my strength, I will avenge your companions' revenge!" Rhodes said to the adventurers.

He wasn't angry at what the adventurer said, even if he was angry, it was useless. Could it be that he was killed or locked up?

Not long ago, they had held this place with his soldiers without asking for any payment.

"Young man, who is begging you to avenge them? I will kill them all with my own hands and avenge John and Jerry!" A burly Nord with a huge sword stood up and said angrily, His eyes seemed to be blazing with anger.

At this moment, loud shouts came from behind the gate, and countless creatures that looked like Gulu rushed out from the hole in the gate wielding short knives...
