Chapter 312 The Situation Is Serious
Lan Wu was quite surprised. He had guessed that after the fusion of the three worlds, humans would have a hard time, but he never expected that the situation would be so serious.
Before the World Stone was fused. The only five cities left in the human race could always stand firm, and communication and contact between them were essential. Although Harrogath began to despise weaker cities layer by layer, the communication between cities has never been interrupted. It's just that each city is only willing to communicate with neighboring cities, rather than the five cities communicating with each other without obstacles.
Although the communication is limited, it has indeed promoted the growth of mankind. For example, the original Rogue Camp. If it weren't for the support of the neighboring Lugaoin, how could a few hundred professionals under level 20 defend the Rogue Camp without even a city wall.
And now the Rogue Camp... it should be New Tristram that has completely lost contact with other cities. This is an extremely serious incident. If it is not handled properly, even if New Tristram is in an independent space, it will inevitably decline over time and eventually usher in the strong invasion of demons. After all, New Tristram still relies on the teleportation array to communicate with the outside world. When the demons and demon kings like Baal recover, it will not be difficult to crack the teleportation array.
Realizing the seriousness of this matter, Lan Wu immediately asked. Through the mutual supplementation of Akara and others, he finally had a general understanding of the current living conditions of mankind.
Needless to say, the Rogue Camp. Although it was reinforced in the later period, it was just a joke for the wooden walls to stop the demon army with a surge in strength. And the fall of Lugaoin did not surprise him either.
Compared with the simple Rogue Camp, Lugaoin can be said to be a solid fortress. The expansion over the years has enabled Lugaoin to have five gates that are enough to bear the heavy responsibility of resisting the attacks of demons. But in Lan Wu's eyes, Lugaoin is leaking everywhere and is at risk of collapse at any time.
On the surface, Lugaoin is as solid as Harrogath. Almost all Lugaoin people think so. But the sewer and the mysterious shelter are equivalent to two big holes in a bucket. Although there are only a few entrances to the sewers and the mysterious shelter that can invade Lugaoin, it is a terrain that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. However, after the fusion of the three worlds, this advantage was forcibly wiped out by the demons with skyrocketing strength. After destroying the Lugaoin of the first two worlds, the last Lugaoin could not resist the endless demons. After all, everyone will get tired. No one can always maintain sufficient combat power like a perpetual motion machine.
Lugaoin, which opened a teleportation array with the Rogue Camp, was destroyed, and it was naturally impossible to contact the Kurast Port. After gathering the survivors of the three Rogue Camps and the survivors of Lugaoin, Akara and other surviving title heirs adopted a policy of hiding from the world to avoid disaster. It was not until half a year later that the outside world returned to its original tranquility. Akara and others sent out a capable scout team to avoid the eyes and ears of the demons and go to various places to inquire about the news.
This is also thanks to the fact that the teleportation array had been blessed permanently and could not be destroyed by the demons. It was precisely because of this that Akara and others were able to arrange for the garrisoned professionals to flee back to New Tristram in the first place, preserving a lot of combat power.
These scout teams went through hardships and dangers and arrived at Lugaoin first, and then came to Kurast Harbor. These two cities have been destroyed and there is no trace of people. Lugaoin was lucky. Jehain opened the teleportation array as soon as the demons broke out and invaded, and organized civilians to go to Rogue Camp to avoid disaster. Even though they responded in time, the demon army with a surge in strength destroyed the tall walls of Lugaoin in almost the blink of an eye. In the end, only less than 3,000 civilians and two or three hundred professionals escaped to New Tristram.
And Kurast Harbor was embarrassed. Located on the Twin Seashore, it is humid and hot, with complex terrain in the tropical rainforest. After the demons broke out and invaded, the only way out was to board the ship and enter the Twin Sea. The Twin Sea is unpredictable, calm one second and huge waves the next. Looking at the entire Kurast Harbor, there are only a handful of captains who are familiar with the Twin Seas. Even if they enter the Twin Seas for refuge, it is still unknown whether they can escape the capricious winds and waves. However, judging from the fact that no one from the Kurast Harbor has escaped here so far, it is estimated that they are doomed.
When the scout team arrived at the Kurast Harbor, they could no longer go to the Fortress of Demons through the teleportation array. I don’t know if the Fortress of Demons has fallen. The teleportation array of the Kurast Harbor can no longer connect to the Fortress of Demons, so they can only withdraw the team and report the news.
"So now there are only you, Farah, and Echo left in New Tristram, and the title heirs of the other two worlds have died in battle?" Lan Wu looked dazed, feeling very uncomfortable.
How precious are the title heirs. Not to mention their strength, each title heir has inherited a rich knowledge system from ancient times, which is absolutely priceless.
Lan Wu knew that Farah had obviously survived because he had stayed in the Rogue Camp to study magic forging. And Echo came to the Rogue Camp under the escort of Olvera to save Barbara who was poisoned by the ancient poison. Before Barbara was cured, the disaster came. She also survived and came here.
Lan Wu's heart tightened when he thought of the title heirs such as Greze of Lugain and the title heirs of Kurast Harbor who all died in the battle. If New Tristram can recruit these title heirs, Harrogath is nothing. Of course, Harrogath is probably doomed now.
"Then how many professionals do we have now?" Lan Wu put away his bad mood and continued to ask.
"Three thousand two hundred and fifty-seven professionals of different levels." Akara is worthy of being the core leader of New Tristram, and he remembers these data clearly.
"There is also an underground tomb here, and finally professionals can continue to practice." Olvera sighed.
New Tristram is simply a brand new world. Not only does it have sunny land for growing crops, but it also has such an underground tomb where skeletons emerge continuously for professionals to practice. If the teleportation array is destroyed, this place can completely provide humans with rest and recuperation and grow stronger again.
Finally, Lan Wu was relieved to hear a piece of good news. At least the professional heritage is not lost. Professionals will not perish, and sooner or later they will be able to drive away the demons.
"Fortunately, I insisted on building Tristram at the beginning, and it was not in vain." Lan Wu shook his head and smiled, feeling proud of his foresight.
These words drew a knowing smile from everyone. Everyone present knew clearly about the construction of Tristram. This was all Lan Wu's credit. If it weren't for Lanwu's insistence, Akara and other leaders would have been more willing to temporarily seal off Tristram, hide it and slowly develop it in order to obtain the greatest benefits. But Lanwu insisted on introducing external forces such as Lugain to develop it together. It would be a lie to say that there was no grudge at the time. Everyone, including Akara, felt regretful. It turned out that Lanwu was right.
After a while of talking and laughing, Virgil suddenly slapped his forehead and shouted in annoyance: "Damn it, I forgot. I should have told you the first time."
