Wilde was highly regarded and trusted by his uncle, and led the Valantis Tiger Robe Army to achieve many great feats, which is why he obtained such an important position.
Wilder, now in his forties, stood at the bow of the ship, dressed in full military attire, his bright armor and sword at his waist. His dark eyes swept over everyone on the beach, making him look very imposing.
He didn't get off the warship until everyone had disembarked and he was sure it was safe on the beach.
He then looked up at the sky and gave the order to set up camp on the spot.
"Just rest here for the night."
...
After all that trouble, it's now evening.
Dusk and sunset.
The crimson glow of dawn pierced through the thin mist and spilled across the land.
"Over here—"
"hurry up."
"Give me two more pieces of wood."
Everyone busied themselves setting up their tents and preparing to cook. They also cut down some trees in the surrounding woods to build a simple wall to enclose the camp and provide protection.
The expedition did not intend to explore the Valyrian ruins under the cover of night when they first arrived at the Valyrian ruins. In such an era, night marching was always a major taboo, let alone such a dangerous mission as exploring the Valyrian ruins.
Therefore, it is understandable that Wilder played with extreme caution.
After all, he was also an experienced commander.
Viserys was also among the crowd, carrying an axe. He was assigned a task and followed the others to a grove of trees not far from the beach to cut down some trees.
Mia, Guts the Iron Fist, and his cronies all stayed by Viserys' side; the survivors on their ship were still huddling together for warmth.
bang——
He swung the axe and chopped at the tree trunk, sending wood chips flying.
Viserys was very cautious as he set foot on this land for the first time.
He had a feeling of unease the moment he set foot on this land, as if some kind of danger was about to befall him, so he silently raised his guard.
The first impression Viserys had of this mysterious continent was one of oppression. Although there were fish in the water and trees on the ground, and everything seemed normal, it still gave people a gloomy and oppressive feeling.
If we were to summarize it, it would be as a lack of harmony.
"Be careful, everyone."
Viserys spoke succinctly, giving instructions in a low voice as he chopped down the tree.
"Yes, got it."
The group of people huddled together around him nodded.
Time passed quickly, and the sky gradually darkened.
The sun had completely sunk below the horizon, plunging the world into darkness, and clusters of bonfires were lit.
Lighting a campfire in such an unknown place is a dangerous thing, and it might attract something.
But darkness breeds fear more easily, and humans cannot live without light, just as fish cannot live without water.
The makeshift campsite that had been hastily built earlier is now considered complete.
Although the conditions were somewhat rudimentary, one couldn't ask for much more in such a perilous environment.
"No matter what happens, it must be reported immediately!"
Wilder arranged for a group of people to take night duty, and the middle-aged man in full military uniform spoke with a serious expression.
Excluding those who need to work the night shift, everyone else is preparing to rest. Viserys and Mia are lucky; they weren't so unlucky as to be assigned to night shifts on their first day.
I can finally get a good night's rest tonight.
The two of them were assigned to the same tent.
After spending so many days together and going through hardships together, their relationship has gradually warmed up, and they have become good friends.
However, everyone else believed that there must be something between Eamon and Mia. At first, they thought Eamon was a young gigolo, but later they realized that it was Mia who had hooked up with a powerful man.
The silver-haired young man's performance caught everyone's attention; he was definitely a skilled player.
But in reality, only the two of them knew the truth: nothing had ever happened between them; they were simply friends who had gone through thick and thin together.
And in such an environment, there was no interest in anything happening.
...
The night outside was deep.
Darkness enveloped the continent.
There were no insects chirping, no birds singing, not a sound at all; the silence was so profound it made one feel uneasy.
"I have a bad feeling that tonight might not be so peaceful."
Inside the tent, Viserys removed his heavy leather armor; wearing such stiff, boiled leather armor made it almost impossible for him to sleep.
But he was still wearing his coat, not just because the person sharing his tent was a girl.
Moreover, now that he has set foot on the continent of Valyria, danger could strike at any moment, and he doesn't want to escape naked.
Viserys placed the Valyrian steel dagger he always carried under his headrest.
Valyrian steel can kill White Walkers, and it might also be effective against some monsters in the ruins.
The red-haired girl sitting on another sleeping bag also took off her leather armor, revealing the white lining she was wearing underneath, which covered her completely.
Although men and women are different.
Neither of them showed any embarrassment, after all, they were both just trying to survive.
The girl sat cross-legged on her sleeping bag, her bare white feet showing, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to fall asleep.
"I feel the same way."
Mia peeked out through a crack in the tent; the dark sky was shrouded in a thin mist.
"The fog outside seems to have gotten even thicker."
The fog on land was thinner than that over the sea, but its color seemed a bit darker, and it was slightly thicker at night than during the day.
The gray fog over the sea seemed unable to penetrate the land, and just as the sea monsters seemed to stop attacking ships during the final period of their approach to the mainland.
Viserys had also seen it in Gillian's diary.
'The sea monsters seemed to fear this land and were unwilling to approach it, but they could not leave it either, so they fled to other seas beyond the Smoke Sea.'
If these sea monsters escaped the misty sea.
The world's shipping industry will likely suffer a huge blow, returning to a period of land isolation.
Chapter 324 Monster Attack
"Weren't you always curious about why I insisted on exploring the Valyrian ruins?"
“Imon”.
The red-haired girl looked at the sky outside the tent, then suddenly spoke.
“I can tell you that my parents died on this land, so I had to come here to see it no matter what.”
"Whether it's to find their remains, to avenge them, or even... just to take a look."
"Ok?"
Viserys, who was already lying down, heard the girl's words and slightly raised his head to glance at Mia.
"how about you?"
"And what brings you here this time, Aemon?"
Mia pronounced the last 'Imon' very clearly.
It seems she knew long ago that 'Eamon' was just an alias.
Viserys did not tell her the truth.
"I?"
Viserys was slightly taken aback, but he wasn't surprised that Mia already knew he had disguised his identity.
The two of them have been spending a lot of time together lately, and I must have slipped up somewhere.
"I... I guess I'm just curious, and I want to uncover this long-forgotten history."
Viserys shook his head and spoke.
He didn't deceive Mia; he really did come to decipher the mystery.
Is that so?
Mia clearly hadn't expected Viserys' reason to be about deciphering the mystery. She blinked slightly, but this time she chose to believe 'Aemon's' answer.
Most of the tents in the camp had already turned off their lights.
Apart from the mercenaries on night duty carrying torches, there was only a faint moonlight outside, and the rest of the place was shrouded in darkness.
Viserys and Mia chatted briefly inside the tent before lying down to rest.
Under the misty moonlight, time passed quietly, with only the sounds of breathing coming from the tents and the waves crashing against the boats.
The whole world was silent.
However, perhaps it was because arriving on this mysterious continent meant that peace was impossible.
After an unknown amount of time, a short, sharp scream broke the silence.
"who?"
Immediately following was a loud shouting sound.
It seemed someone had been attacked, and the other mercenaries on night watch noticed, and then the sound of arrows rang out, one after another.
