Chapter 168
Three days later.
Greem and the others who had been out to scout had returned to the base, bringing with them the information they had collected.
Although it had only been three days, the once grassy field where the adepts had arrived in was already looking like a small town.
A tall stone house stood from the ground, covering the projection and the space vortex within. There were no windows on the structure, only an arcane entrance in the front. Row after row of wooden and stone houses were built with the stone building in the center, spread around on the outside haphazardly.
The ones responsible for guarding the outer rim of the forward base was a bunch of voodoo beasts of all sorts. There were lions, tigers, jaguars and many more, but without exception, there was the special flux of magic organs from within their bodies. The voodoo beasts with the power of intermediate apprentices might not be much to an adept, but they were most suited to deal with any normal native or beasts that wandered into the base by accident.
On the other hand, the security system within the base were the numerous and plentiful magic arrays and troops of weird-looking robotic beasts. These robotic beasts were clearly exquisite products from the Castle in the Sky, as each of them had the power of an advanced apprentice. Considering their bodies that had high resistance to damage, with good cooperation, surrounding and killing a pseudo adept was an easy matter.
Besides all this, there were also a few winged dragon knights.
Judging from their appearance, these were created by using voodoo magic to modify some sort of humanoid being and sew them to the back of winged dragons, giving them the ability of both flight and long ranged attacks. The ingredients were probably taken locally and the product just finished, considering their bloody bodies.
If we really want to understand this plane’s power structure, we might have to enter the human city for a clue……”
The next to speak was Mary.
“The direction I went in should lead towards the depths of the forest. The deeper I went, the denser the trees and the more beasts and magical creatures there were. Some of them tasted pretty good! “Mary licked her red lips: “I found the rallying points of several large magical beings. There’s the man-eating demon’s tribe. There are two dozens adults and they are located here……There’s a group of poison dragons of around a dozen located here……There’s a den of gryphons with 5 adults and 3 cubs here……”
Mary lived up to her reputation as an agility-focused adept. In just three days, her investigation radius covered a range of 100 kilometers. Judging from her familiarity with the locations, she had probably personally visited each rallying point. Of course, this meant she had already had a feast of her own!
Then it was Greem’s turn.
“The forest on my side is less dense. 10 kilometers of trekking brings you outside of the forest. There are 3 small human villages at the edge of the forest here…..here…..and here……One of the villages is pretty developed. I saw many mercenaries and hunters there. Their range of activity is pretty large and are very likely to wander into our base.
I caught a mercenary and from the information I got, the main fighting force of this plane is that group of witcher knights. From his depictions, it seems that a normal witcher knight is at the standard of an apprentice adept, and the so-called Spellbreaker Knights can reach the level of a First Grade Adept.
There the Spellbreaker Knights there are Radiant Knights, Dragon Knights, and Holy Knights. Unfortunately, this means that we might encounter a group of magic fighters that will hate adepts with a passion in this plane. ”
The power structure of both planes was very different. It would need an actual confrontation for both parties to have a better understanding of the other’s abilities and powers. But based on Greem’s information, it seems that it is highly possible that a Fourth Grade opponent will appear in this plane.
For this group of First Grade Adepts, that was way too powerful!
