Chapter 645: Legion Equipment
"Lord Lindsey..."
A few minutes later.
The bloodied Dune, covered in blood, was also pulled up from the mountainside by Lindsey.
The Life Scholar, Gray Rhino, who had fought fiercely with the hunters, was already a Phase Five Awakener, far beyond the ordinary concept.
Under the blessing of his skills focused on enhancing his physical body.
Even when his heart was attacked, this guy didn't die immediately but tightly gripped the arms of Dune, who was entangled with him.
It wasn't until Lindsey came to support him that this guy was finally killed with a single sword strike.
And at this moment.
Dune's arms hung limply and twisted.
He looked as if he had been strangled by a giant python, his bones and muscles all broken.
But after Lindsey brought Dune back to the top of the mountain, the hunter seemed to feel no pain in his arms and instead knelt down in front of his companion's corpse.
"..."
Dune remained silent.
Hunters who had experienced life and death in the Wildlands should have been accustomed to it, but at this moment, he exuded a different emotion—sorrow.
"Sigh..."
Lindsey sighed.
He shook his head slightly and looked around.
After this crisis-filled battle, the hunters, even with the help of explosives and the Insectoids, suffered two deaths and six injuries.
As for the mental state of the people...
The new hunters who joined the Forest City were a bit better off, their eyes mostly filled with relief at having escaped danger.
However, for those who had lived in Forest City for several months or more.
These hunters couldn't help but show the same ugly expression as Dune when they saw their companions die.
In a world of despair, a peaceful haven had emerged.
Those who lived here naturally developed a sense of unity under the feeling of happiness.
Lindsey had seen this look in the eyes of the expeditionary forces.
After all, during an expedition that lasted for several months, no matter how careful they were, there would always be some who were accidentally killed by Deviators.
"Everyone, remember this!"
Lindsey suddenly raised his voice and shouted to those around him:
"The enemy who attacked us today is an Awakener from the Green Swamp!"
"They not only destroyed the past Aro Camp, but after learning about the establishment of Forest City, their greed knew no bounds, and they wanted to violently take away everything we have worked hard for with our own hands!"
Lindsey paused, infusing his voice with rising emotion:
"And in the face of these despicable and shameful enemies!"
"Protecting our homeland and our current way of life is also the responsibility we bear on our shoulders!"
At this moment, Dune was still looking at the corpses.
Without turning his head, he asked Lindsey in a solemn tone:
"Lord Lindsey, does this mean we will continue to defend ourselves like this in the future, waiting for their sneak attacks and suffering heavy losses each time?"
Lindsey immediately replied:
"Rest assured, that won't happen."
"After the Deviator's raid, those guys from the Green Swamp won't get away either!"
Upon hearing this, Dune stood up.
After Lindsey's response, the people around also changed their mindset, transforming from sorrow to anger.
"Now, let's take them home."
Pointing to the corpses on the mountain, Lindsey gave the order.
Some of the remaining hunters tended to their injuries, while others began to clean up the bodies of their companions and the Insectoids.
After cleaning up the bodies of their companions and the Insectoids.
Lindsey also specifically checked on Dune's injuries.
The hunter's arm bones were completely broken.
Under normal circumstances, this injury was almost impossible to treat, and the medicine Lindsey had could only stabilize the condition.
Dune understood this.
However, he did not regret it.
To achieve his goal of taking down Gray Rhino, he was prepared to sacrifice not only his arms but also his life:
"Lord Lindsey, it's okay.
"I know this injury... it may be difficult to heal. From now on, I..."
Hill was about to relinquish his role as the Hunter Commander.
But before he could finish, Lindsey interrupted him, "Rest assured, there's a way to treat this wound."
"Once we return to the Insect Nest, it won't take long to heal."
Lindsey's confidence stemmed from the architecture within the Insect Nest.
Dune had also experienced the special treatment there and quickly recalled something, "You mean, that coffin-like thing?"
Lindsey nodded.
"The Healing Chamber not only heals external injuries and enhances physical attributes, but it can also quickly treat fractures like yours."
A group of people trekked through the mountains, heading northeast.
Beside Lindsey, a robust Insectoid soldier from the Insectoid race followed closely.
On the insect's back were two unconscious humans, tied securely.
The Eroder Porcupine and the Life School Gray Rhino, who had been killed by Lindsey in the previous battle, had no chance of even becoming Revivers.
However, the Sensor Eagle and the Warrior Stone Fist managed to survive.
After all, these individuals had come directly from the Green Swamp to raid the Forest Capital, targeting its influential figures.
Extracting information from them could yield significant gains.
The group continued their journey.
Lindsey casually checked his attribute panel.
Although some insects had perished in the battle, it was now June, and with the combat losses deducted, the population of the Insect Nest would meet the upgrade requirements in just two weeks!
"The next level of the Insect Nest."
Lindsey contemplated, referencing the construction difficulty of the Forest Capital.
As the Insect Nest entered its third phase, in addition to further enhancements to the existing architecture, there would likely be new buildings requiring special resources.
"I wonder what we'll need this time."
Lindsey continued to browse through the task list.
After the raid and the completion of the two-front battle, he immediately claimed the rewards.
【Odd Artifact/Equipment: Swift Boots】
【A pair of wondrous red boots. When equipped, if the wearer leads a team or army, the entire squad's movement speed will significantly increase, and fatigue during long marches will be reduced.】
【An invaluable marching tool!】
"Increased marching speed?"
Lindsey was curious about the effect of the Swift Boots.
He discreetly placed the boots in his equipment slot, replacing the Gray Hare Boots he had used for many years.
Clap!
Instantly, Lindsey's footsteps on the ground returned to normal.
The subtle footsteps, once enhanced by the Gray Hare Boots, were now gone.
But the effect of the Swift Boots began to take hold.
Just as described, the squad's marching speed quietly increased.
Lindsey estimated this increase to be around 20%.
In the short term, the effect wasn't extraordinary.
However, when applied to legion movements, this 20% boost would immediately become a terrifying advantage. It truly deserved the description of being invaluable!
2. Lindsey's surroundings were filled with sharp-eyed hunters, who quickly noticed the change beneath their feet and started looking around curiously.
Lindsey reassured them, "I'm using my skills to speed up our progress. Everything is normal, so rest assured!"
