Fort Collins is across the river from the northern part of the Elven Forest.
Since the emergence of the Kingdom of World Tree, there have been many ferrymen in Fort Collins, who make extra money by carrying ambitious adventurers to the other side of the river by rowing boats.
After the warrior Athos decided to go to the Elf Forest, he boarded a boat with the orc Hercules and other adventurers.
Compared with the wide lower reaches of the river, the upper reaches of the Vimur River are relatively narrow, and a ferry can make a round trip in less than 20 minutes.
On this side of the river is a simple pier, which seems to be temporarily built.
On the dock, there are more adventurers.
These are all people attracted by the ruins of gods. There are people of all races, but most of them are humans.
The strength of these adventurers varies, but the weakest ones also have black iron ranks, and there are also many silver professionals who are rarely seen in towns.
It can be seen that the attraction of the ruins of the gods is quite large for adventurers.
Not only that, these adventurers even established a simple wooden stronghold on this side of the river, and you can even see high walls and some roving mercenaries.
As soon as the rowing boat in front docked, mercenaries with arrogant expressions stepped forward and collected gold pounds from the people on the boat.
“That is the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group. This stronghold was established by them to facilitate all those who want to venture into the ruins of the gods. However… all adventurers who enter this stronghold need to pay five gold per person. pounds as protection fee.”
The boatman pulling the boat explained to his guests.
Many new adventurers suddenly became commotion.
“Five gold pounds, why don’t you grab it?”
Someone couldn’t help but say.
Perhaps for experienced adventurers, five gold pounds is not enough for them to splurge once in the casino, but this price is already equivalent to the income of a civilian family in the empire for more than half a year.
“No way, this is the rule of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, and everyone who enters the stronghold must obey. They are the largest mercenary group in the northern part of the empire, and there are several gold-level mercenaries alone. Unless You can show enough strength, otherwise… you can only listen to them honestly.”
The boatman shook his head.
“Then let’s not get off from here, let’s change somewhere else!”
Someone said angrily.
“That’s right!”
Other adventurers also echoed.
The boatman replied helplessly:
“My lords, let me advise you to pay the gold pounds honestly. This is for everyone’s good.”
The adventurers are even more angry:
“What? Is the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group already so arrogant? Isn’t it related to the Northern Candidates!”
“If we don’t enter the stronghold, will the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group force us to do so?”
“That’s right! We can still go to the ruins of the gods without entering their stronghold!”
The adventurers were furious, while the boatman sighed and explained:
“It is possible, but without the protection of the stronghold of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, you adults may not be able to escape the pursuit of the elves…”
“The elves’… pursuit?”
The adventurers looked at each other.
“Yes, since everyone is here for the ruins of the gods, they should all know which fallen **** this ruins belongs to… That was the main **** that the elves once served. So… these elves are very interested in coming. Adventurers who come to this area will show no mercy…”
The boatman said.
“Are the elves in the Elf Forest… so scary?”
An adventurer asked in disbelief.
The boatman nodded:
“Of course, you adults don’t know that adventurers who often travel to and from the ruins of gods have even reached a consensus that it is not scary to encounter demons in the ruins and forests, and it is not scary to encounter high-level monsters, but if you encounter elves …You have to be careful.”
“If you hit the elves and can’t kill them all at once, then just wait for their crazy pursuit…”
“Everyone should have vaguely heard of the origins of these elves. These guys…are really crazy when they chase and kill people without stopping.”
“If you can’t get to the stronghold in time, unless you have gold-level strength, you will definitely regret it…”
After hearing what the boatman said, the new adventurers on the boat looked at each other, and the boatman pointed to the adventurer stronghold in front of him and continued:
“Hey, adults, don’t look at how well this stronghold is built. In fact, this is already the fifth stronghold of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group. The first four were originally in the forest closer to the ruins of the gods, but in the end All were destroyed by the elves.”
“Fortunately, the elves still don’t know the location of this stronghold, and it is close to the river. The Wild Wolf Mercenary Group also has many spare ships. If it is really besieged by the elves, it will be easy to evacuate.”
After hearing this, the adventurers’ expressions became more and more solemn.
“Elves, are they strong?”
Someone asked seriously.
“It’s not a matter of whether they are strong or not, but…how should I put it, if you really meet adults, you will know that they are a group of lunatics…”
The boatman said.
“Okay, we’ve arrived. I wish you all the best to get the treasure in the ruins of the gods!”
The ship docked, and the mercenaries from the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group also came up.
The adventurers made a fuss for a while, but in the end they paid the gold pounds honestly one by one.
They had no choice but to find that even the mercenaries in the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group who collected gold pounds were all high-ranking silver men, and their ship didn’t even have a middle-ranking silver man…
At least…that’s what most of the adventurers on the ship think.
The people on the boat got off one by one, and soon it was the turn of Athos and Hercules.
When it was their turn to pay, the orc Hercules sneered and lit up his aura.
The mercenary’s expression changed drastically.
Fortunately, Hercules only flashed the light and then put it away.
The mercenary immediately stood aside respectfully, and did not ask for payment, but allowed the two to disembark.
Hercules sneered and then accompanied Athos into the stronghold.
The strong have privileges everywhere.
The number of adventurers in the stronghold has increased.
Not only that, the two even saw many stalls of chambers of commerce, selling various supplies for exploring the ruins of the gods.
Many of these chambers of commerce come from all over the empire, but there are also those from other races and forces.
Athos even saw a dark dwarf stall called Amway Trading Company or something…
I don’t know how these underground guys came so far to trade here because of their headaches.
Of course, the two of them just glanced at it for a few times and stopped paying attention. They just passed by this stronghold, and their ultimate goal was to go to the nearby elf city of Winterfell.
Hercules has already obtained a map drawn by adventurers from the black market in advance. The approximate location of Winterfell has been marked on it. The two only need to go directly.
However, just as the two of them left through the stronghold of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, they were stopped by a mercenary warrior who hurried over:
“Your Excellency, please wait a moment, are you two planning to go to the ruins of the gods?”
That was a warrior wearing heavy armor, and his strength reached the golden level.
“What’s the matter?”
Athos did not answer directly.
The soldier hesitated for a moment, and then performed a less standard imperial etiquette:
“I am Hans, the deputy leader of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group. You two should also be high-level professionals, right? Don’t know what to call them?”
“Athos.”
Athos said.
“Hey.”
Hercules just sneered and did not answer.
Hans didn’t care about Hercules’ attitude…
In fact, the relationship between orcs and humans has never been good, and he could also see that the two people in front of him were obviously led by this human warrior.
Just hearing the name Athos, he raised his eyebrows slightly:
“Athos? What a good name! It has the same name as the founding military **** of the empire…”
Hearing the words of the founding military **** of the empire, Athos raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and a trace of imperceptible nostalgia flashed across his expression.
That was his identity when he was still a mortal.
In the distant past, he was once the founding father of the Holy Mania Empire, but because of a conflict of faith, he finally gave up everything he owned.
Unaware that his casual compliment just scratched the other person’s itch, Captain Hans paused and continued:
“Mr. Athos, high-level professionals cannot enter the ruins of the gods. If they really want to enter, their strength will be suppressed below the gold level…”
“If you two plan to go to the ruins of the gods, I hope you will think about it carefully… Among the ruins of the gods, high-level professions are much more dangerous than middle- and low-level professions. Those elven lunatics like to pick high-level people who enter the ruins. Many golden adventurers have already died in the ruins…”
After hearing his words, Athos looked a little surprised.
And Hercules couldn’t help but sneered:
“Elves? They have the advantage of suppressing the level of the gods’ ruins. If I really want to see them in the forest, I would like to see how powerful they are!”
Captain Hans glanced at him, laughed, and shook his head:
“Don’t underestimate those elves, let alone inside the ruins, even outside the ruins, you have to be careful when you encounter them!”
“Do you know the legendary Sword Master Sward? That is a legend! But just like that, he was injured in a conflict with the elves a while ago, and he was seriously injured! His whole body was severely burned by magic!”
“He did not enter the ruins, but had a conflict with the elves outside the ruins.”
“Unfortunately, later on, someone asked the legendary swordsman Sir Swade how the elf seriously injured him, but he never told him. He just angrily scolded the evil elf for being despicable and blasphemous…”
“But looking at his injuries, I suspect that there may also be powerful people with legendary strength among the elves, and they should be good at fire element magic or electric magic…
Hans spread his hands.
There are also legends among elves?
After hearing these words, Hercules’s expression finally became more solemn.
However, it was soon replaced by fanaticism:
“That’s better, hey, I haven’t fought the elves yet…”
He chuckled and touched the red ax behind him.
Hans was slightly startled.
However, when his eyes glanced at the red battle ax behind Hercules, a trace of surprise flashed across his expression.
Before he could think more, he heard Athos say again:
“Thank you for reminding us, we will pay attention to it.”
Then, he waved to Hercules and continued moving forward.
Hans wanted to say something more, but he glanced at the red battle ax behind Hercules, his eyes became more hesitant, and finally gave up.
It wasn’t until the two of them were far away that he turned around and returned to the stronghold. As he walked, he couldn’t help but murmured:
“That ax…is somewhat similar to the ax of Hercules, the legendary strongman of the Orc Alliance…”
“No, probably not. It is said that Hercules is very arrogant and arrogant, especially looking down on humans. How could he be a follower of humans?”
“Unless…”
Halfway through speaking, Captain Hans was slightly startled.
He suddenly turned around and looked in the direction where the two people were leaving, with a bit of surprise in his expression:
“Athos…the God of War, Athos? The Eight Envoys of the God of War?!”
“Could it be that…this…isn’t possible?”
……
Leaving the adventurer stronghold, Athos and Hercules quickly entered the hinterland of the Elf Forest according to the marks on the map.
As they moved forward, there were fewer and fewer adventurers around them, and after entering the red area on the map, no one could be seen anymore.
The area marked in red refers to the area where elves are active…
“I didn’t expect that after hundreds of years of not seeing each other, the elves would turn into terrifying beings.”
Athos shook his head.
“Hey, I’m getting more and more curious. Is it an elf with legendary strength? I really want to compete.”
Hercules sneered.
Athos looked helpless.
But soon, his peripheral vision glanced to somewhere beside him, playing with the taste:

“There are no legendary elves, but there are quite a few silver level elves…”
“And they seem to have followed us since we left the stronghold. It seems… the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group’s stronghold is not as secretive as they imagined.”
Haigsley also looked in the same direction and sneered:
“It’s really like the legend, as cunning as human beings…”
“Unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are ridiculous self-deception.”
Then, he snorted coldly:
“Elves, stop hiding, we have discovered you.”
After speaking, Hercules took off the red ax behind him and struck the ground hard.
With a loud noise, a terrifying crack stretched out on the ground, extending directly to somewhere in the distance, causing a flurry of abuse:
“Damn, why was it exposed?”
“The idea is a bit tough, I’m afraid it’s a high-level elite monster!”
“That’s great, there are many rewards!”
“Try playing first!”
“Don’t forget to share the coordinates with the group…”
“Okay!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there were bursts of shouts of killing.
Under the surprised gazes of Athos and Hegsley, more than a dozen elves in gorgeous armor suddenly emerged from the grass not far away, waving weapons and rushing toward them while shouting… …
Just like bandits who rob the road.
But the problem is, strength is not enough.
