my cube kingdom

Chapter 264 Strange compatriots?

Ye Zou did not carry a map with him, and his compass was accidentally lost during his escape. The plants in spring grow very fast, basically changing every day. The road he walked yesterday was covered by various plants every other day. Unrecognizable.

Coupled with the continuous rain, Ye Zou could not find the direction to return to the Cube Kingdom through memory, and could only move forward through strenuous exploration.

But the further you go back, the more unfamiliar the surrounding environment becomes.

He finally realized that he was lost.

Cube people are insignificant, lost their way in the wilderness, no fellow countrymen to help each other will undoubtedly mean death.

"No, absolutely not! I haven't fulfilled my promise yet! My brothers' deaths can't be in vain..."

Thinking of the days when he fought and marched together with his comrades-in-arms, thinking of them who resolutely broke up now in order to protect him, Ye Zou's chest was filled with pain, anger and unwillingness.

Waving the iron sword in his hand to chop off the weeds that blocked his vision, Ye Zou almost lost his mind and ran forward in a useless way.

"Whoohoo-"

The iron helmet can protect Ye Zou's head from being soaked by rain, but it can't protect his brain from water.

After running wildly for a while, Ye Zou came to a flat land with a wider view.

His hunger has been consumed a lot during his running.

There is not much food in his inventory, and he will starve to death if this continues.

"Am I going to die like this?"

Looking at the last seven pieces of bread and a piece of roast lamb in the inventory, Ye Zou said to himself with a miserable smile.

"I didn't expect that I would die like this in the end. I might as well have fought against the Skeleton King. The brothers died together..."

Leaning weakly under the oak tree, Ye Zou did not move for a long time.

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

"Vasssa Him, Ka Ka Oh Him!"

Ye Zou squatted under the oak tree in despair, he was ready to die after losing his faith.

"Wow, Isa, Park Swish—"

But at this time, white mist and transparent tentacles looming in the mist appeared around his field of vision.

There was also a weird voice that was distorted but possessed logic and knowledge.

"what happened?"

Raising his head and seeing the changes in his surroundings, Ye Zou skillfully held the iron sword in his hand to protect his chest and put on a fighting stance.

"He he he—"

In the distance of the mist, Ye Zou saw several distorted black figures walking towards him.

"Monster?"

The iron sword in his hand was gripped even tighter.

The appearance of this mist is very strange, and it should be directly related to the black figures walking towards him.

Ye Zou had never seen a black shadow that could release mist and make strange noises, nor had he heard it from an old soldier.

That should be a monster that has not been recorded by the cube kingdom.

Unknown means powerful.

Ye Zou didn't have any fear in his heart, but was filled with a sense of relief.

Trapped in this wilderness, alone and helpless, unable to return to the Cube Kingdom, he has already been sentenced to death.

It is obviously more honorable to be killed after fighting a monster than to starve to death.

"Ha Ka Ka lo, Shi Hu lo!"

The black shadow in the distance was getting closer to him, and the sound of madness following the shadow was even louder.

"Come on, monster!"

One step, two steps, three steps...

Ye Zou gradually saw the appearance of those black shadows clearly.

"Humanoid monster?"

At first, Ye Zou only saw their shapes clearly.

It has a body like a cube man, and it may be a humanoid monster such as a zombie or a skeleton.

"With a weapon?"

Then I saw them holding long things in their hands.

It can't be seen clearly from a distance, but it is sure to be some kind of tool or weapon.

"Wearing armor... a compatriot?!"

As the black shadows got closer, Ye Zou could see the appearance of these black figures clearly.

Humanoid, with a black sword in his hand, covered in black, red and yellow armor, with decorations like a cross painted on it, and a cape behind his back...

At least in Ye Zou's eyes, such a dress is only available to square talents.

The synthesis system is a blockman's unique ability, and monsters cannot use the workbench to create the exact same uniform.

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

The number of these armed unknown fighters was three, and they came to Ye Zou's side and stopped.

There was no communication and no attack.

Just look at Ye Zou like that.

Ye Zou also breathed a sigh of relief. If the opponent was a monster, he would definitely attack him directly when he saw him.

Since none of these people attacked him, it meant they were allies.

"May I ask who you are? Is there a gathering place around?"

Ye Zou's tense mood gradually relaxed and asked.

"How is the preparation of the army?"

It was still drizzling outside, and Mo Fangyuan also knew that marching in this weather was not good for the Cube army, but it couldn't help it. That monster had already threatened the territorial security of the Cube kingdom and the following [Giant Construction Plan], so it couldn't be cleared. Are you still staying home for the New Year?
"Your Majesty, the first and third battalions of the field army are ready, please give instructions!"

As the cube kingdom grows stronger, the actual land it controls also increases.

Although there is no "core regionalization" of these territories that are actually wilderness, this does not prevent the Cube Kingdom from occupying these lands.

And the southernmost part of the land occupied by the Cube Kingdom has touched the altar of magic in the depths of the Black Forest.

It was a "half-closed portal" guarded by magic guards.

Because of this, every time a soldier patrols there, he will be more or less affected by the fog created by the magic guard.

But only limited to influence.

But just yesterday, three soldiers were attacked during their patrol, and they all suffered great injuries.

The source of the damage was the magic guard.

Seeing this, Mo Fangyuan said that this is all right?The monsters are bullying to the door!

So with a wave of his hand, there is the current scene.

"You have to be careful, the magical guards have high attributes and are extremely aggressive and hard to deal with..."

"Although you have 1000 people, [-] cannons, and only one magic guard on the opposite side...but be careful to make the Wanli Ship, just use artillery directly. It doesn't matter what drops, as long as the altar is preserved."

After repeatedly emphasizing the power of the "Mysterious Age" monsters, Mo Fangyuan let the two battalion commanders leave.

On the central castle, Mo Fangyuan watched as a thousand soldiers from two battalions pushed a hundred cannons and set off to deal with a magic guard.

"The Mysterious Age is good, but there are a lot of demands, and it is also very difficult to popularize the capabilities inside. It will not be developed in a short time. Prioritizing the development of industry is the main plan now."

The attitude of Mo Fangyuan's plan is based on the national conditions of the Cube Kingdom. It is time-consuming and labor-intensive to develop industries related to the Mysterious Age, and the results are slow, which is not in the current interests of the Cube Kingdom.
