Chapter 114: Autumn Hunt
"I have received information about the armed group, the strategic aspect is still to sneak into the main. It was a headache in terms of personnel and weapons combination, and there was only one preliminary idea at the moment. Ask ten players to make regular arrangements, while the two captains are equipped with magic energy weapons. They can only make breakthroughs in a dot-like manner. "Ignore those miscellaneous soldiers and directly kill their leader and a few personal guards above rank ten."
Ellen lay down on the mountain platform and looked at the blue sky above his head. "Kill the leader and his personal guards. They are all dragons without a leader. It will be much easier to disperse or kill them at that time."
"Mana martial equipment?" Adele rolled her eyes and said, "You dare to think." One had to know that Beth Cod did not have a Demon Martial Production Base. Even our Morsen Clan has joined hands with a few other clans to support the two Demon Martial Production Lines. Therefore, you should know that magic power is not cheap. "Even a rank 1 Magic Martial Artifact like the Sting is not cheap. The market price is around 50,000 yuan."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to support that little military expenditure of yours, right?"
Allen smiled and nodded, "You're right. The money left after conventional equipment is enough to buy a magical weapon." But don't forget, Mr. Hughton and I are learning the Magic Cube sequence. Mo Wu's components are much cheaper. As for the sequence, I can design, manufacture, and install it myself. I've already calculated. A handful of demon martial artists' money. If I were to create the sequence myself, I would be able to create two demonic martial artifacts. "If we use the magic energy weapons tailored to the two captains, I think we can increase their combat strength by more than ten percent. That would be more powerful than arming them with conventional weapons, right?"
Adele blinked her eyes and said, "You can already make your own sequences?"
"I can only create low-level sequences." Alan said honestly.
"That's pretty good. At least you've saved a lot of costs." Adele patted him on the shoulder and said, "You tell me all this, and you're not afraid that I'll sell it as intelligence. I'm telling you, that Webber boy paid a lot of money to rob you of your intelligence."
"You're not going to do that, are you?" Ellen asked.
"It's hard to say, if he pays high enough." Said Adele craftily.
"I knew you wouldn't do that," Alan said calmly.
"Don't talk like an ascaris in my belly. When I betrayed you, you didn't know where it was." Said Adele with disdain.
"I just feel that I'm more charming than that Webber."
"Really? I think your skin is getting thicker and thicker."
Alan jumped up and said, "At this point, who would dare to be the hero in front of Miss Adele?" Without waiting for her to explode, Ellen laughed and leapt into the air. He jumped down to a camphor tree and grabbed its branch. He took off 70% of his fall, then jumped onto the ground and rolled. Finally, he stood up and shouted, "It's getting late. I'll treat you to lunch."
Adele gritted her teeth and said, "Don't think you can kill me with just a meal!"
Alan laughed and jumped towards another camphor tree on the hillside. Adele rolled her eyes and shouted, "Ellen, why don't I marry you after you graduate? I can also squeeze out a rich dowry from Grandpa!"
"What!" Alan had just jumped on the tree branch when he was shocked by Adele's words. His foot slipped and he immediately fell from the tree.
Adele burst into laughter.
In the study of the castle, Horn's ears twitched as if he had heard something.
Alan had a much more lively weekend than usual.
When the winds that blew through Babylon had a hint of autumn, the world on the surface welcomed the most active and dangerous season of dangerous species. Before winter arrived, except for a few dangerous species, the rest followed the instincts of wild beasts and made preparations to survive the next harsh winter season. In the case of Swordtooth Berserk Wolves, for example, they must gain 45% of their fat before winter to survive a winter of scarce food.
At a time like this, the aggressiveness of dangerous species is the highest in a year. Therefore, large-scale hazardous species activities occur on the surface every autumn. For this reason, the garrison forces in the various areas of the surface would strengthen patrols in the marginal areas and kill a certain number of dangerous species before winter to ensure the safety of the people in the area.
In Babylon, autumn hunting was held every three years by the three great families in turn, which also inhibited the over-active dangerous species. The campaign began more than 200 years ago when the number of dangerous species surged, causing unpredictable damage to the family's factories and companies on the surface to prevent excessive numbers of dangerous species. The Smiths, one of the wealthiest families of the time, joined forces with other aristocratic clans to launch a large-scale hunt for dangerous species on the surface.
The event was then preserved and gradually evolved into a tradition known as Autumn Hunt.
However, the participants in the Autumn Hunt were no longer the experts of the large clans, but the young disciples of the various clans. It evolved from a hunting operation to a noble sport of a social nature. The only thing that remained unchanged was the reward. After the one-week autumn hunt ended, the reward would be ranked according to the number of dangerous species hunted by all the nobles' children. Those ranked in the top ten would receive rewards, and the top three rewards were even more abundant. Amongst them, there were not only millions of gold rewards, but also 10-grade magic energy martial equipment, a potion that could stimulate the potential of the human body, the Origin Jade [Shadow's Eye] that could increase the condensation speed of Shadow Origin Energy, and even some works of art that possessed appreciation value.
Those kind of rewards could cause a bloody battle if they were casually thrown into the Black Street. Naturally, they were good things that could make people droop. However, the top ten of the Autumn Hunt had always been handled by the disciples of wealthy families. After all, they were far superior to the disciples of ordinary families in terms of resources. Naturally, their growth speed was not comparable to the disciples of other ordinary families. Therefore, those rewards that made people jealous rarely fell into the hands of non-wealthy disciples.
Even so, those who were qualified to participate in the Autumn Hunt were unwilling to miss out, because this was a rare opportunity to establish their own network. He might even be able to climb into the relationship of a wealthy family, so even if he didn't receive any rewards, it wouldn't be in vain.
So when Allen and Leon got off the same small airship, many young men threw undisguised jealousy at Allen. One had to know that not everyone was allowed to participate in Autumn Hunt, and only the direct blood of each clan had the qualifications to participate. However, Allen was still a collateral branch, so he was not qualified to participate in such an activity. But Leon invited him as a friend.
Alan was no longer surprised by the inexplicable hostility in his eyes. This morning, when the young master of the William family landed the magic energy flying ship on the parking platform of Dawn Blade, Alan had already undergone a baptism of public gaze. As for now, he was already somewhat immune.
"Don't worry about them. Follow me." Leon and Alan jumped onto the jeep that had been waiting near the airship and drove straight into the forest.
They are now at the western edge of the Whispering Forest in Area 11 on the surface, right next to the Snow Revolving Cloud Mountain. The Snow Revolving Cloud Mountain was extremely high above sea level, and the highest mountain peak, Snow God Peak, had been hidden in the clouds for many years. The mountain range moves high in the south and low in the north, and it is in a swirling shape. The snow-capped mountains were covered in snow all the year round. From the sky, the snow-capped mountains were as white as snakes. Clouds and mist surrounded the mountains, giving them the name of Revolving Clouds.
Whispering Forest covers an area of more than a thousand hectares. The eastern side of the forest is bordered by the Snow Mountain of Revolving Cloud. The western side of the forest is the widest and the eastern side is narrowest. Trees are composed of spruce, fir, larch and other cold-resistant species, is a typical coniferous forest belt. There are hundreds and thousands of dangerous species living in the forest. Among them were the Sword Tooth Berserk Wolf, the Frost Tyrant Bear, the Tyrannosaurus multieyed lizard and the Twin-Headed Polyhorned Lion.
It was rumored that there was a terrifying and dangerous rank ten Black Twilight King Snake in the depths of the forest. It can affect the mind and will of creatures and make them voluntarily become their food. When the Black Twilight King Snake affected his soul, he would hear whispers from the Abyss Devils of Hell. Thus, this became the origin of the name of the Whispering Forest.
Before the start of the autumn hunt, William's guards had already conducted a survey of the Whispering Forest to determine the level of the hunting area according to the level of the dangerous species and their habitat. And will indicate the regional level at the obvious location, ranging from low to high, distinguished by five levels A to E. Above the E-class area, there was a no-hunting area. That represented an unknown danger.
This was also a common method for dividing regions every autumn hunt. Normally, the hunting range would also stop in the D-class area. Very few people go deep into E-class, or even outside of E-class. After all, this was only a social event to promote friendship among the nobles, not a battlefield where one's life was at stake. Even well-equipped disciples of wealthy families would not be willing to enter dangerous areas to hunt dangerous species.
Even if killing a high-grade dangerous species was equivalent to killing a large number of low-grade goods, no one would be so crazy.
Alan sat in Leon's car and arrived at the William family's temporary camp. In this clean camp, the William Family guards erected wooden bars and sentry posts to ensure the safety of the family members in the camp. The temporary camp had already erected tents, each with a similar but slightly different emblem. The William Clan's emblem was the Golden-winged Battle Eagle, and its design was noble golden. The family's Golden Eagle Battle Flag was erected around the camp as a distinct symbol. As for the tents of the camp, they were also some warhawks, but their colors were mostly red, black, jade, and grey.
For example, the eagle head on Leon's tent was decorated with red and black. Only the eyeballs of the war eagle were decorated with gold. Alan swept his gaze around and discovered that there were only four tents with golden eyeballs and the Battle Eagle emblem.
The temporary camp was a place for the family's children to rest during the autumn hunt. It was also a safe area in the Whispering Forest. In each clan's safe zone, there would be guards and experts from their clans to ensure the safety of their clan members. Of course, every autumn hunt was filled with willful and reckless noble children who spent the night in the hunting grounds, but were chased down by dangerous nocturnal species.
Just as Leon and Alan were about to drill into their tent, a sweet but shrill voice sounded behind them, "Brother Leon, your taste is getting worse and worse. You actually made friends with some of the underlings on the side!"
