When the crying Tom returned to Anfa City, his tight nerves were immediately relaxed, and his emotions were a little out of control. This is human beings, who are both strong and fragile creatures! ! ! ! !
Walking on the zigzag stairs, after a while, I came to the outside of the room where Nueni, Jess, Docted and Polis were. The city guards who came with him went inside to carry out the inspection. Report and bring him in quickly.
Docted lifted a handful and asked Tom to sit down, "Tom, sit down, let's sit down and talk!"
After looking at Tom who was a little overwhelmed, Docted pulled him over and asked him to sit down.
"Tom, tell me, what happened to your team after they left, and why you came back alone!" Docked said. Of course, he was afraid that Tom would misunderstand, so he continued, "Of course, Tom, you don't want to Misunderstanding, I’m not doubting you, it’s just that the safety of Anfa City is very important now, and we need your information, and the more detailed the better!”
"Yes, sir!" Tom nodded seriously and began to tell the story of his scouting team's experience.
…
Hank took the lead and plunged into the darkness. Although he held a torch in his hand, the swaying flames could not penetrate the increasingly dense darkness. His originally fast march also slowed down, and the light of the torch could only barely cover everyone. If one's own area is slightly larger, it will be swallowed up by darkness.
Hank ordered everyone to be vigilant, and the swords in their hands were always ready. As for the bows and arrows they carried with them, they had long lost their meaning. The thick darkness was like ink, and even in the dark night, they lost their luster.
"Captain, this damn place is so damn dark. Even if you go out at night, you won't even need to light a torch. This place is great. We can see each other with the torches in our hands. The rest is useless!" Tom said with a pout. .
A very strong cavalryman named Turner said with a smile, "Hey, I think Tom is afraid of the dark, hahaha!"
The others also laughed, but they didn't take it seriously, it was all a joke, but Tom was really trembling when he looked at the darkness around him. He has been afraid of the dark since he was a child, and now in such a dark environment, it's really...
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble. Please be serious and keep your spirits up. We can't see anything now. If you encounter any danger that is difficult to respond to in time, just give it to me." Be careful, I don't want you to come in and go out sideways!" Hank said seriously. It seems that he was a little impulsive when he decided to come in. His estimate of this place was really insufficient. He just hoped that thousands of people would come in. Just be sure not to run into any big trouble.
With everyone's spirits high, they moved forward safely for about half an hour. Of course, the speed was not fast. After all, the surroundings were only pitch black, but it wasn't like there was nothing left. Even those trees, if you rode a horse, you probably couldn't run a few meters. He had to hit it, and if he hit it lightly, he would break his head. If the horse ran faster, it would break his head.
"Captain, there seems to be movement ahead!" Tom's words not only attracted Hank's attention, but also the others' attention.
Hank ordered the team to stop, lowered his voice and said, "Everyone, battle formation!"
There was no answer, just years of tacit cooperation, staggered forward and backward, slightly gathered together, but still maintaining enough space for everyone around him to move flexibly, and the control began to become quiet.
"Tom, did you find anything?" Hank asked Tom in a low voice.
"Captain, it seems like something is coming from the front, and there are a lot of them, and they're not going fast!" Tom said with a frown.
His senses have been very keen since he was a child, which is why he was selected to join the reconnaissance team. His keen senses made him very good at bow and arrow skills. However, in such an environment, the role of bows and arrows was greatly lost. effect.
Hank trusted Tom's words very much, because Tom's warning had saved everyone's lives before, so now he was even more alert.
About fifteen minutes later, the danger Tom mentioned did not appear, but Hank did not relax his vigilance. As an experienced scout, he knew that the most important thing was to be patient. Time passed by little by little, and finally, There was a sound not far away, but it was very strange. It was a weird rattling sound, and it was very dense, like the wind blowing through the leaves, but it made people feel creepy. The surrounding trees were already covered in a layer of darkness. color, but at this time it was covered with a layer of frost.
Everyone felt the cold and couldn't help but shiver. Then without warning, a cold wind appeared, which was biting and unbearable. The torches in their hands even shrank under the stimulation of the cold. Shrinking, shrinking a lot, the horses sitting down snorted uneasily, and their hooves rubbed the ground uneasily. Even if their owners kept comforting them, it had no effect at all.
"Everyone, be careful, retreat, retreat!" Although Hank didn't know what was going on, the strange scene in front of him had already made Hank understand that he couldn't stay here anymore, otherwise there would be only death, but when he arranged When everyone was about to evacuate, the chill suddenly disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
Hank frowned, but without any hesitation, he was about to take the people away immediately, but Tom suddenly said, "Captain, listen, there seems to be no sound!"
Not only Hank, but other people also listened, and sure enough, the continuous clicking sound just now disappeared.
Even Hank was a little at a loss for a moment. What was going on? But just a minute later, Hank decided to take people away. The current situation was indeed beyond his expectation. It seemed that the task could not be completed. He only hoped that If they can survive, just don't disappear without a trace like the previous team. Thinking about it, they may also encounter such a situation. It's very dangerous.
"Go! Don't stay, go!" Hank shouted, he wanted to lead his team back alive.
However, he just finished speaking, and there was a sound of piercing the air behind him. He instinctively dodged, and a white bone arrow shot into a tree next to him, deep in the air. Inserted deeply into it.
Everyone said in their hearts, "Damn it!" This sudden attack meant that the captain was really doomed!
When everyone was still in shock, Tom shouted, "Captain, look behind me! Look behind me! Quick!"
After several consecutive shouts, everyone came back to their senses. It wasn't that they were rookies, they had never seen such a sudden arrow. Especially in such a dark environment, where nothing could be seen, it was even more confusing. When you are focused, it is easy to overlook many things.
Hank and the others looked behind where Tom said, with their eyes wide open. They could see things in the dark. Not far away, there was a vast expanse of white. The clicking sound just now sounded again, accompanied by dense but scattered sounds. The sound of footsteps, that piece of white is getting closer and closer.
The sweat on Hank's forehead became more and more dense. The white was not only a color, but something more terrifying. He could already see what those things were, and saw their movements, which were bending a bow and setting an arrow, and It is as far as the eye can see.
I never imagined that I would encounter such a thing. Even though Hank has experienced hundreds of battles in Anfa City, this is the first time he has seen such a legendary thing. Even if he usually kills Bandits and bandits, etc., his face is not red, but his heart is not beating, but the things he encounters cannot calm him down. Although the world of Esgaia is a magical world, all kinds of weird creatures will appear, there is nothing surprising. of.
But damn, I have heard of such things appearing in other places, but how could this happen near Anfa City? Not to mention Warcraft and other things near Anfa City, even ordinary creatures are far away. .
But, but, what appeared in front of him now was an undead creature. This kind of unclean thing that violated the will of God and appeared on the earth actually appeared in front of him. How could he calm down Hank.
Hank could already clearly see it. It was a vast expanse of white skeleton soldiers. Although only fragile white bones remained in the decayed body, there were only a few pieces of broken rags left on the body, and the sword in his hand was also decayed. Even bows and arrows are full of decay, but people who live in the world of Esgaia know that skeleton soldiers are just the lowest level of undead cannon fodder, but with their countless numbers, no one wants to fight with them meet.
And what's worse is that behind the skeleton soldiers, there are often other more terrifying undead creatures. And depending on the number and scale of the skeleton soldiers, who knows how many other undead creatures there will be and how terrifying they will be!
Even though Hank was shocked, he still reacted quickly. No wonder the previous team lost contact. If he could still survive, it would be a fucking miracle!
"What are you still doing? Run! Run!" Hank yelled desperately, finally making everyone wake up from the shock. There was no other way but to pull the horse's reins and run away, but the horse was already on the skeleton soldiers. Under the breath of terror, they panicked, and with the comfort and riding whips of all the cavalry, they finally regained control of them. Regardless of the obstruction of darkness, they ran with all their strength in the woods relying on their memories.
Unfortunately, it was too late after all. The arrows from the skeleton soldiers had already fallen. Although they had run a certain distance, some people were still hit by the bone arrows. They screamed and fell to the ground together with their horses.
Everyone was in tears, but after hearing Captain Hank's voice, they could only endure the pain, abandon their brothers of many years, and run forward!
"Don't look back, run, run, run!" Hank shouted hoarsely.
