They walked for another day and night.
Finally, they reached the second campsite that Philip had mentioned.
What was strange was that the second campsite was similar to the first campsite. It was a very wide underground space, but it was a few times larger. The only difference was that there was light in this underground space. Although the brightness was low and gray, they could still see people clearly when they got closer. It was not as dark as the first campsite.
"That's strange. There's no light around. How can this be?" Jacques, the priest of the Templars, took out a book. He realized that if he looked closely, he could see the words on it.
"You might not believe it, but it's 3: 30 in the morning now!" James looked at his watch.
"Mr. Philip, what's going on?" Thomas asked.
"I can't explain this phenomenon!" Philip shook his head and waved his hand. "Don't ask me why. From now on, you will see countless strange animals and phenomena. I can't give you an answer at all. Instead, I want you to give me an answer. Exploring the unknown is one of the reasons why we, the Darkness Palace, invited you here. "
"Mr. Wood?" Bloody Mary looked at Lin Dong.
On the way forward.
Lin Dong would take care of any strange creatures that he could not defeat. Although the Plantagenet Dynasty and the Eye of God did not recognize Lin Dong as their leader, they had started to rely on his unique ability.
Lin Dong would not answer all their questions. "Don't ask me. I'm not good at this."
Reynold and the other leaders looked at each other.
They communicated with each other through their eyes.
Then, he ordered his subordinates, "Since we've reached our destination, let's set up camp and rest! We'll continue after we've rested! "
Philip kindly advised them, "Everyone, the Darkness Palace has a lesson that we've learned through blood. Maybe you can listen to it. It's best for us to set up camp on a platform on a cliff. Even if it's a little narrow, it's better than resting directly on the ground. I can't guarantee that no creatures will come out of the darkness to attack us while we rest. In addition, there was a small stream a kilometer ahead. The water there was drinkable, but be careful, the closer you got to the water source, the more dangerous it would be. The stream is a hunting ground, and there are often powerful underground creatures lying in ambush. You are confident that you can kill the underground creatures lurking there, but if you are not strong enough, you will easily become their prey. "
"Is this the only place to draw water?" asked Big Ivan.
"No." Philip waved his hand. "There are also water sources in many of the cracks in the rock walls, and some of them have quite a large amount of water. As long as you don't mind the bitter taste, you definitely won't have a problem surviving."
"Why don't we gather all the tents together? As long as they surrounded the perimeter and sent enough men to keep watch, they should be able to defend against the invasion of the various Underworld creatures. By the way, we still have fire. All creatures are afraid of fire. As long as we have a bonfire, I believe no creature will have the guts to cross the line! "Parsons, the mad scientist, raised a question.
"You can do that, but please forgive us. Before we came in, we received extremely strict orders that we must find a place to rest on the rock wall." After saying that, Philip turned around and led the members of the Darkness Palace away.
The Darkness Palace was experienced and had already found the best spot on the cliff.
However.
Philip left the stone platform about ten square meters in size for Lin Dong to rest on.
Jonathan, Remiga, and the others quickly set up the tent for Lin Dong, and left enough food and water before leaving.
Fox asked Griffon and the others to put down the things they were carrying on their backs, and he took out a travel tent and set it up close to Lin Dong's tent. Griffon was tired and too lazy to find another place, so he smiled mischievously and wanted to stay on the side. He didn't ask for much, as long as he could have a place to lie down. He promised that he wouldn't affect the happy life of Fox and the Lord God.
But before he could open his mouth, Fox kicked him in the butt.
Don Quixote and the others snickered.
Just like that.
Lin Dong's platform was the largest, but it had the fewest people. There were only him, Fox, and Enoko Kazama, who had forcibly set up a tent on the other side.
Then, a dozen meters away, between the uneven and jagged cliffs, Griffon and the others' tents were densely set up. On the other side were the people of the Darkness Palace. Because there were so many people and the gaps were small, everyone had very little space. In some places, after the tents were set up, it was difficult to even walk.
Seeing that the cliffs were densely packed with tents, more exaggerated than an ant's nest, Leonard couldn't help but snort heavily.
He, Thomas, and the others searched the area.
The best space had been occupied by the people of the Darkness Palace, the Teutonic Knights, and the Grand Alliance of Eastern Europe.
The rest were either too narrow or uneven, making it difficult to set up tents.
In particular, the Eye of God, the Eden Army, the Plantagenet Dynasty, and the Knights Templar had sent a large number of people. It was impossible for all of them to find a place on the cliff!
"We'll all rest on the ground!" Thomas suggested. "On the other side, there's a small cave on the cliff. I'm guessing it's a temporary camp dug out by the previous explorers of the Darkness Palace using an abandoned cave. There are many traces of modern tools digging inside, and there's no special smell. It shouldn't be a beast's lair, I'm sure of that. We'll use that as the center and set up a temporary camp outside. The cave isn't big, and we won't live there. It'll be used as a temporary meeting hall for us. "
"If that's the case, we have to set up our defenses!" Duchess Bloody Mary thought for a moment. "And we have to make a mutual aid treaty. If there's really a monster attack, we have to defend together and support each other. Anyone who abandons their companions will be severely punished afterward. "
"Yes, we're in the same boat now, and we have to help each other," Leonard agreed.
"With the cave as the center, we'll build a semi-circular defensive camp around it! We'll send people to take turns on duty, and four people will supervise each other. It's necessary to use fire to defend, but we can't set up a dozen or so. That's too wasteful. We can first use the tools we brought to find a simple fence. Then, we can set up a brazier at the exit to light up the place, and to intimidate the underground creatures that are ready to attack. If there's a large number of underground creatures attacking, we can dig a small ditch outside the fence, pour fuel on it, and use a wall of fire to block them. That way, we'll have enough time to retreat to the top of the cliff. Of course, it's best to stack our supplies on the cliff in case something unexpected happens, and we can't move them in time. "The mad scientist Parsons had already made a plan.
"That's right, the way back is too far. If we lose our supplies, we'll be in danger." The deputy leader of the Temple Knights, Hugo, agreed with the idea of placing the supplies on the cliff.
"Does Lord Nero have anything else to add?" Thomas looked at the silent Red Cardinal Nero.
"The Lord will bless you!" Nero drew a cross on his chest.
"…"
Everyone was speechless.
Is that all you have to say? Even if you're not tired of saying it, we're tired of hearing it!
However, Nero was the leader and spiritual leader of the Eden Army. Regardless of personal strength or status, he wasn't too powerful. Not everyone could be a Red Cardinal. This old fellow spoke politely to everyone. Even if he didn't speak, no one would be able to do anything to him.
Moreover, he was just pretending to be dumb, he wasn't really dumb!
The four factions were all experts, and with a dozen elite mercenaries hired, it wasn't too fast to build a defensive camp along the cliff.
Three hours later, the temporary camp was built. Due to the powerful tools they brought, a small ditch about half a meter deep was dug outside the camp. The mercenaries dug up the rocks and soil to form a short wall above the ditch. Two groups of guards patrolled the short wall. Outside, about ten meters away, Reynold led his men to build a simple fence. It was the first line of defense for the temporary camp.
"It's so tiring. If not for the fact that we have to stay here for a long time, I really don't want to waste energy on these things." Reynold instructed his men to put a brazier outside the fence as a warning light.
"You have to do this if you want to stick together!" the deputy leader Hugo comforted.
"Indeed, we are not like the Darkness Palace, the Teutonic Knights, and the Eastern European Grand Alliance. They are united because of Mr. Wood. We only maintain our interests. If we don't stick together, it'll be easy for the Darkness Palace to defeat us one by one. " Reynold nodded. "With this camp, the four factions are basically tied together. Even if we have conflicts in private, we must work together in the face of danger!"
Lin Dong slept well.
He didn't even know that Enoko Kazama and Fox had fought outside his tent.
Of course, Enoko Kazama couldn't defeat Fox. However, without waking Lin Dong up and secretly fighting, Fox couldn't do anything to Enoko Kazama, who had undergone genetic experiments in Lin Dong's hands and had improved greatly.
Both of them wanted to enter Lin Dong's tent, but they didn't want to see each other.
This kind of confrontation would probably continue.
Until one side was completely defeated.
Then the balance between the two might be broken.
"Good morning, Lord Lin Dong. This is the bento that Zhizi made for you!" Enoko Kazama handed the breakfast she prepared to the yawning Lin Dong.
"Damn leech!" Fox was furious. When it came to cooking, even ten of her couldn't catch up to Enoko Kazama. She was born in a country that was known for its dark cuisine. She had always been a noble young lady who waited for others to cook for her to enjoy. It would be difficult for her to comment on delicacies, but it was too difficult for her to personally cook a delicacy!
Enoko Kazama bowed to Lin Dong and didn't even look at Fox.
Putting everything else aside for now.
In terms of delicacies, she could beat Fox by nine streets.
Even if Fox dared to cook a "Hell Sandwich" for Lin Dong using dark cuisine, Lin Dong might not dare to eat it!
Of course, Fox wouldn't expose her weakness. If delicacies didn't work, she had ways to divert Lin Dong's attention. "Dear Mr. Wood, you must not know, right? Someone went missing last night! "
