My Doomsday Territory Chapter 444: Between Attacking or Observing

Chapter 444: Between Attacking or Observing

White Tree Heights.

The wind was bitterly cold, and the earth was wrapped in thick silver snow.

A 20 to 30-meter tall white tree, like a huge pillar, stood on the snowy ground.

High hardness, toughness, lightweight, excellent source qi conduction rate, and many other advantages made the white tree an extremely excellent material. Used in making bows and arrows, wooden shields and sticks, and other weapons, it could also be used to build ships.

The white tree was just a generic term. In this area, there were silver ancient white tree, star earth white tree, sunny white tree, and other varieties. Each variety has a slight difference between them.

The White Tree was the most popular of all.

To this day, war weapons made from white trees inscribed with runes were still common and effective.

The white tree business has allowed the Yongan Shelter to trade many rare materials from some of the surrounding large shelters.

In the corner of the White Tree Heights.

Was a logging site covering an area of ten or twenty acres, forested with a small three- or four-story building, there was the wall of steel and white trees surrounding the perimeter, more than three meters high, on which a machine gun was set up, and a ten-meter-high sentry tower stood……

The lumberyard was usually stationed with a two-hundred-person Yongan city defense force. The first captain was at level-8 awakened level, equipped with a full set of magical equipment. They also recruited mercenaries to patrol the area in batches, but recently, the patrol frequency was much lower.

With the help of the lumberyard, it was possible to withstand the demonic wave of level three demons – not to mention that since the opening of the lumberyard, there have only been five demonic waves of level two demons.

Today, however

Broken limbs, severed heads, stained red snow ……

The smell of blood in the lumberyard was pungent, even in this cold season, as if the ghosts of injustice hovered overhead for a long time.

“The shelter of the Daxia Kingdom is so weak, none of them can fight.”

An old man with a withered face and thinning hair, as if only a layer of skin was left attached to the bones, spoke in a disdainful tone.

The surrounding warriors of the “Heavenly Wolf Palace” echoed with approval.

There were still some experts in the Daxia Kingdom, the previous guard commander stationed in the lumberyard and later the brigade were some of the strongest.

It’s a pity that this kind of strength was not worth a dime in front of that lord.

The “Heavenly Wolf Palace” warriors looked with awe at the man standing in the center of the carnage… And behind the man, countless dead bodies with distorted faces slowly stood…!

-The cadre of the Temple of the Wolf, “Shadowy Skeleton” Kawada Seiichi himself!

……

There was an incident in the White Tree Heights, which was listed on the front page of the “Adventurer’s Guild” with the commission and immediately caused quite a stir.

On the first page of the commission, each task has an extremely high reward and has not been completed.

For example,

[Shadow of the Alien Race]: Adventurers who find or kill Alien race elites or above can receive different rewards depending on the grade of the Alien killed.

However, only those who have crossed into the condensed source realm are qualified to be called elite …… strong and more cunning than the demonic beasts, and it was difficult to discover the trail, let alone kill it.

The current stage of the adventurers was difficult to do. Tang Yu issued a commission for the purpose of adventurers to learn about the alien race in advance and preach the various vices of the alien race. There were other shelters of previous experience. Although the alien race was unlikely to infiltrate the territory, Tang Yu wanted to be safe.

Other missions, such as [Searching for distant spirits], [Exploring the Mirage Mountain], etc., were all difficult and had a long time span.

The commission of [Scouting the White Tree Heights Enemy], although only at the back of the first page, also drew the attention of a large number of adventurers.

“No wonder the reward is so high. It turns out that even the ‘Yongan’ Ancestral Dragon Brigade is no match for that mysterious group of enemies!”

“It’s just a mission to scout, not to fight against the enemy, yet the reward is this high, but damn, my star level is not enough!”

Suddenly a distinctive voice rang out.

“Six-star Warhammer Adventurer’s recruit temporary teammates for the [White Tree Heights] mission, can join the adventuring group to share the mission, requiring strength above the seventh level of awakening, combat power increase of at least 5 +, mage, assassin priority! Slots are limited, first come, first served!”

As soon as the head of Warhammer opened his mouth, the hunters in the hall were silenced, and some people who thought they had strength but suffered from not long registration time and not enough adventurer stars immediately squeezed forward to participate in the screening of Warhammer’s adventuring group.

If they performed well in the mission in the White Tree Heights, they could join the Warhammer Adventurers for real.

This was also beneficial for the “Warhammer Adventure Group” itself, they got temporary team members, and rewards were distributed to everyone as agreed, but allowed the Adventure Group to accumulate more points to make their group more famous.

Warhammer only recruited six temporary teammates but attracted at least a dozen hunters above the seventh level. This scene made some new adventurers who came from out of town and had only just registered their identities puzzled, “What is the combat power increase? Mages, assassins, and what is it?”

“I feel like we’re not in the same world!”

The old adventurer, who was struggling to pretend that he had nowhere to go, had his eyes glowed, and he came forward and said

“Adventurer’s Guild, not only it is a place for the adventurer to receive the mission and getting their rewards, but also to participate in the professional certification of the guild, now we have a total of six basic professions, warriors, mages, assassins, priests, gunners, archers …… mages, generally is the ability of the people, but the difference is that the ability of the people who only mastered enough spells and knowledge, in order to certify for the mage career.”

Other professions are the same. I cite the most common warrior career. They first need to pass the warrior strength and speed test, as well as practical combat test, and master more than two kinds of warrior career battle skills in order to bask in the glory of the warrior.

The Warhammer group needs an assassin and mage for their mission, which means that you have to take the basic profession classification first. Mages and assassins are the hardest professions to get.

But I heard that in the Tree Shade, there is a complete process of professional inheritance, even if it is just a budding hunter, as long as you accept the inheritance, you can immediately become a powerful hunter.”

……

Soon, the spots for the [White Tree Heights] mission were snapped up.

Among them, the Warhammer Adventure Group sent nine core members, plus six external members. The other fifteen people were scattered, but in addition to Warhammer, the most numerous “Purple Mountain Mercenary Group” only had four spots, so this time, the operation was vaguely led by Warhammer.

The “Warhammer Adventure Group” has a good reputation, including the Warhammer Vice Group. There were three six-star adventurers. The rest were also five-star adventurers.

Thirty people replenished their supplies at the next trading house, and after making preparations, they rushed to the northern “Yongan Shelter”.

The wind was blowing in the north.

“Xiao Qingsheng, the leader of the Warhammer Adventure Group, and 29 other experts arrived at the designated meeting place.

A temporary stronghold of Yongan in the wilderness… Here they met with the commission issuer.

Once inside, the heat from the fireplace came, and Xiao Qingsheng met the commissioner – the second-in-command of the Yongan Mercenary Mission Center, a young man who looked quite good.

“…… White Tree Heights was a situation that emerged two days ago, after the last Ancestral Dragon Brigade risked their lives to get the situation, the group of mysterious enemies, although they also speak Daxia language, some of them also speak the language of Sakura country …… we suspect that our enemies are a group of Sakura people who were stranded in Daxia country before the end of the world, a joint organization ……”

As for the voyage from the Sakura country to here, the second in command of the mission center…including the other top brass of Yongan, have never ventured this idea.

“Those people are very strong, our Yongan’s Ancestral Dragon Brigade, and was ambushed and had to retreat in defeat, but I need to affirm one thing when the Ancestral Dragon Brigade was ambushed, there were two great experts of the ninth level, as well as several experts of the eighth level, but they were not able to support for long.

That group is very powerful. Therefore, for this mission, the main focus is to scout out the enemy, not be impulsive, and we will settle the rewards based on what we get.”

The second-in-command did not hide anything, except for the matter of the Ancestral Dragon Brigade’s fiasco, which was slightly embellished and told. Other information was shared among all of the hunters.

He also sensed the aura of Xiao Qingsheng and thirty others, nearly half of them, was above the eighth level, and there were even four, reaching the ninth level.

Compared to their native, gradually declining mercenary industry, the gap was really quite a lot.

But that group of mysterious people was absurd. The ancestral dragon brigade was wiped out in a minute.

……

Snowflakes drifting down, silvery snow covered the area.

Xiao Qingsheng and other adventurers prepared their equipment and changed into snow-painted combat clothing. White, snowy days become the best protective color.

Mercenaries from Yongan, although they didn’t wear the standard combat clothing, also put on a white jacket as camouflage.

They gradually approached the “White Tree Heights”, a silver-white snow tree that could be seen from a distance, as well as the outline of a lumberyard built on the edge of the woodland.

“What should we do? If we continue to approach, will we inevitably be noticed by the people inside?” Someone asked.

One of Yongan’s mercenaries spoke up, “What else can we do? Let’s go our own way, let’s do our own thing, let’s just leave it at that!”

He was repulsed by the adventurers of Luoxia and did not want to act together.

The official of Yongan obviously hired them but also commissioned so many adventurers, it was clear that they did not think they were enough to complete the task.

Warhammer Leader Xiao Qingsheng frowned, “We have a Perception ability in our team. Why don’t we let her scout around a bit before we talk about the course of action.”

“Perception ability? What’s the use of that! That group has masters, your probing mental power will be detected in a minute, and it will make our mission fail!”

Xiao Qingsheng smiled confidently, “We have our own way of not being detected.”

Behind the team, a female hunter, holding a staff with a crystal inlaid on the top, pinned to the ground, tightly closed her eyes and muttered under her breath.

A moment later, her eyes opened as if there was a flash of light, the staff raised, the top of the crystal glowed faintly.

The spell “Scouting Eagle”!

Some of the hunters could feel her power. In just a moment, something seemed to have shot out.

In the sky, an illusory figure, shaped like an eagle soared, its sharp gaze looking down at the lumberyard.

Probing mental power would be easily detected by those with strong spiritual power, “Scouting Eagle” vision, however, difficult to be detected.

The spell lasted for more than a minute, and the mercenaries of Yongan, astonished, kept their mouths firmly shut.

When the “Scouting Eagle” dispersed, the female hunter spoke, “The people inside have high energy reactions, but the number is small, only fifty-seven people, elsewhere in the line of sight, there is no awakened energy reaction, should be farther away ……”

The leader, Xiao Qingsheng, immediately reacted, “The “White Tree Heights” was a resource area, the enemy occupation, the enemy may have vigilance, but it is unlikely that all people stay in the lumberyard ……

Since there are not many enemies now, then we… can’t we fight some of them and take a few prisoners for questioning? It will be much more efficient than observing them slowly.”

Fifty-seven enemies… more than their number, but the hunters present, whether adventurers or mercenaries, were the best in their profession and had enough confidence in themselves.

As long as the enemy was not three or five times as many, they could be easily beaten!

Next, the female hunter used the “scouting eagle” twice more to determine the nearest enemy, and they were located three or five kilometers away.

Meaning that as long as they moved in a small number and fast, it was entirely possible to hit and run before the enemy reinforcements arrived.
