Even though they were still about 400 kilometers away, the trio could barely spot the settlement on the horizon, which got them quite excited.
Darius directly used Group Teleportation to carry them the rest of the way to their destination. With all his passives and equipment boosts, his actual limit was far more than just that 360 km.
They arrived to at the entrance of a large village of sorts, with thick palisade walls and rapports surrounding it. The group quickly noticed that there were bloodstains and some wear and tear on those walls, a clear sign that despite the settlement being surrounded by almost endless grassland and small forests on all sides, there had been quite a few beast attacks in their absence.
The question was why? Darius had expected his robotic troops to easily be able to handle the natural inhabitants of the former jungle-turned-settlement.
Had the dungeon been attracting more and stronger beasts and monsters here?
