Such a shocking scene obviously wouldn't pass censorship in the real world, but many players have already secretly marked this place on the map, planning to surprise their timid friends in the future.
However, some players who are more concerned with the storyline, such as [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ], clearly have other points to consider.
Judging from the ferocity of the battlefield, the expeditionary force from the Eternal Domain is truly formidable.
Even if only one Silvis remained, he could hold the sealed land for months, let alone the knights who went in to carry out the plan to kill Antos.
But even such a team could only become nourishment for that Grand Duke, who had to exert all his strength to reseal it.
Just how powerful are truly High Tier?
According to the official website, Seraphina is undoubtedly High Tier, but no one has ever seen this Red Dragon unleash its full power.
Duma should also be High Tier, but he prefers to use his brain rather than force.
For Low Tier battles, you can refer to the initial encounters with Gray and Xilǐ'er; for Middle Tier battles, you can refer back to the recent encounter with Muller and the previous Antiya Lisi.
But what about battles involving High Tier?
What exactly does the High Tier in this world represent? And what kind of power do they possess?
Many players pondered these questions, but Ed clearly had something else on his mind.
Looking at the mountain of corpses, the profit-driven boy felt only relieved that Muller hadn't found this place.
If the members of the Eternal Domain Expeditionary Force all served as stepping stones for that devouring Blood Corpse from the Rosalind Lineage, I wonder if he would already be a High Tier duke who earned his position through sheer force of will.
However, in Ed's eyes, these corpses were far less terrifying than the players perceived them to be.
Rotting organic matter is good fertilizer for plants, and Blood Corpse have a certain resistance to decay. If he can obtain the Territory Secret Pact of Klaf City in the future, he will definitely recycle all these unwanted old heads as soon as possible.
Heaven help me, these are all valuable experience points!
Those guys in the Eternal Domain really don't know how to make use of waste.
"Let's go."
Seemingly unaware of the heavy breathing of the players behind him, Silvis led the way onto the stone bridge:
"Just as you guessed, the location of Grand Duke Antos's seal is beneath the city lord's mansion on Jiangxin Island."
Gazing at the hazy, indistinct silhouette of a castle in the distance, one player couldn't help but ask in bewilderment:
"That castle even has a basement? That old bastard Antos is living way too well!"
Silvis turned to look at the somewhat familiar player, a rare hint of mockery in his slightly hoarse voice:
"No, based on our examination of the ruins of the city lord's castle, it's more like Antos was... punched into the ground."
Hahahahahahahaha!
"That's hilarious, turns out they came here only to be humiliated."
"How did you tell? Does he have any other injuries? Haha..."
Stepping over dried blood and bits of flesh scattered everywhere, the players covered their noses as they crossed the stone bridge.
Although most players had shut down their sense of smell, the intense visual impact even made them smell the scent that wasn't actually there.
After crossing the stone bridge, the ruins of Jiangxinzhou Castle came into view.
The walls and rubble were scattered everywhere, and the gate in front of me was so dilapidated that only a stone frame remained. There was hardly anywhere to step.
Silvis walked in front, followed closely by Ed and Willow, while the players trailed behind in twos and threes, making the line quite long.
Looking at the ruins everywhere, [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] seemed to be momentarily dazzled by some dim light.
He greeted his two companions and quickly walked to a corner of the wall not far away.
Turning over a pile of shattered rubble, he found a silver coin bent under the weight of the stones on the dusty ground.
Wow, there's an unexpected bonus!
Brushing the dust off the silver coin with his fingers, the player looked at the heroic profile on it and smiled as he pocketed it.
"Holy crap, what did you find?!"
[ Great Wei Boxing Champion ]'s actions did not escape the eyes of other players. Upon seeing someone dig money out of the ruins, someone immediately exclaimed in surprise.
The [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] himself didn't hide anything. Seeing everyone's gaze, he openly took out the silver coin, whose shape and image were unlike anything he had ever seen before, and displayed it to everyone.
"Holy crap, it's money! It's money!"
"I was wondering why something felt off; it turns out this was missing!"
"Isn't the dungeon supposed to be a place to farm money? We've been exploring for almost half a month and we've only just found some!"
"This area was destroyed so suddenly, there's probably a lot of valuable stuff we can find!"
These sounds immediately startled all the players, who instantly Incarnation into great white sharks that had smelled blood, scattering in all directions to start digging for treasure.
The players' commotion quickly reached the ears of the three Middle Tier players ahead. The old knight, Ed, and Willow all turned around to look at this group of guys who had transformed from regular soldiers into tomb raiders in just a second.
Willow looked at the scene before her, a somewhat bewildered expression on her face.
Before arriving in Klaf City to provide support, she had already heard about the players' partial victories in the southern Fitz Province.
At that time, they took advantage of the enemy's greed, leaving weapons, armor, and valuables along the way, and then launched a counterattack while the enemy was engrossed in picking them up.
At the time, Willow was still mocking the lax discipline of the Tree Worship Church Holy Crusaders Army, never expecting that these Soul Returner would be just as greedy.
How did these guys even win...?
Willow kept the question to herself, while Silvis watched the scene silently from the other side.
After a moment of silence, he turned to Ed and said:
"Actually, if the goal is simply to confirm the exact location of Antos's seal, there's no need to bring them along... Low Tier are practically useless at this point."
"The space beneath the ruins isn't very spacious to begin with, so the three of us are a good fit."
The old knight paused, then asked Ed in a tentative tone:
"Or do you intend to start a war with that Grand Duke right now?"
Facing a High Tier opponent head-on? Are you out of your mind?
Ed thought to himself while shaking his head repeatedly:
"No, no, I'm just confirming the location to make future planning easier."
As he spoke, he looked at the players who were swarming around the ground like locusts:
"Those who wish to search for treasure can stay; those who want to see the state of the Antos Seal with their own eyes, come with me."
As soon as the words were spoken, the players buried in the ruins all raised their heads, casually tossed aside the broken things in their hands, and quickly returned to their group under the watchful eyes of the three Middle Tier.
Ed glanced at the group of guys expressionlessly, then turned to Silvis and said:
Let's go.
