Zhang Ze returned to the team and told everyone about the combat plan for this operation.
Little Princess Qian was relieved when she heard that their team was arranged next to Prince Edward and did not have to directly participate in the battle.
"Great, it's safest to stay with the prince. We don't have to fight those monsters."
Xiaoniaoyiren asked curiously: "What kind of monsters are those carnivores?"
"I guess it's similar to a wild beast. You can only know the specific situation after seeing it." Yiye Zhiqiu guessed.
The giant clapped his hands and said, "No matter what, we must be prepared so that we won't panic if something happens."
Everyone nodded and began to check their weapons and equipment, as well as medicine supplies.
They had collected a lot of medicine before, but after this period of consumption, the inventory in hand was no longer very large, with only more than ten bottles per person.
I wonder if the monsters in this demonic realm will explode some more medicines to replenish their inventory.
An hour later, everyone gathered in front of the prince's camp again. Under the leadership of Knight Commander Elliot, they marched majestically out of the forest.
Zhang Ze had seen the name of this forest on the map before - Emerald Forest. It sounds very poetic, but this forest is also very dangerous, with many wild beasts living in it.
If you act alone, you are easily attacked by wild animals.
This time, a large force was acting together, with a team of hundreds of people, and a powerful being like Knight Commander Elliot, so no beast dared to come out.
After walking through the forest for about half an hour, everyone finally walked out of the forest. In front of them was a large wilderness with several huge rocks scattered on it. The carnivore's lair was said to be in the center of the two big rocks.
"The fourth and fifth teams are responsible for guarding the left wing, the sixth and seventh teams are responsible for the right wing, and the eighth team is responsible for the rear!"
Knight Commander Elliot issued an order, and all the teams acted in unison, forming a diamond formation, protecting Prince Edward in the center, and slowly advancing forward.
"Lord Knight, a carnivore has been spotted ahead!"
The young warrior responsible for scouting the front returned and reported to Knight Commander Elliot. Elliot looked at the map and found that there was still some distance from the carnivore's lair, so he ordered: "Let the crossbowmen and magicians deal with these monsters." , be careful not to let them escape or call their companions, so as not to alert the snake."
"yes!"
Zhang Ze stayed by the prince's side, so he could hear Elliot's orders.
"It seems that there is magic in this world..."
Turning to the front line, two soldiers quietly moved forward. There were two carnivores wandering there, looking for food.
Carnivores look similar to humans, but have thick limbs, ugly appearance, low IQ, and rely entirely on instinct to act.
The two warriors, one holding a crossbow and the other holding a small staff, looked at each other and nodded.
Then the warrior holding the staff pointed at one of the flesh-eaters. He moved his lips slightly and recited a spell. A blue stream of light suddenly shot out from the front of the staff and hit the target.
The carnivore instantly froze in place, as if time had stood still.
Another carnivore realized something was wrong and was about to scream loudly when suddenly a crossbow arrow shot straight through its throat!
The two fighters cooperated tacitly and shot accurately. It was obvious that they had received strict training, so they could complete the task well.
The two men did not go back immediately, but continued to follow the reconnaissance soldiers in the front. Once they found such a lone predator, they would kill it immediately to ensure the safe march of the large army.
Finally, the team arrived at the carnivore's lair. They stopped more than three hundred meters away, where the entrance to the lair could be clearly seen.
At this time, there were a lot of carnivores operating around the nest, and they were in groups, and the previous assassination method no longer worked.
"In this case, let's mobilize everyone!!"
Knight Commander Elliot drew out the sword from his waist and shouted an order to his guards: "Everyone is ready, attack!"
"yes!"
All the members of the six teams charged towards the monsters. The flesh-eaters also discovered them and rushed towards them with strange screams. The two sides started a fierce battle in the wilderness.
However, it is obvious that the physical fitness of flesh-eaters is indeed much stronger than that of humans. They can knock a warrior away with a single blow.
Moreover, their speed and reflexes are also very fast, and they can easily dodge the weapons wielded by the warriors.
To deal with these monsters, two or even three warriors must work together, otherwise they will not be taken down at all.
However, these monsters also have a shortcoming, that is, they have no resistance to magic attacks.
Also, these guys are stupid and can't dodge long-range attacks, so as long as they use crossbows and magic, these guys have basically no resistance.
Therefore, when Knight Commander Elliot was training his team, he specially trained an all-mage team - the Eighth Team, in order to deal with these difficult monsters.
This team is full of magicians. Because they are very useful and there are very few people who can use magic, this team is also the "treasure" of the entire Guards.
In order to protect this team, Knight Commander Elliot specially arranged two other teams to protect them.
At this time, Prince Edward stood on the hillside, watching the battle from a distance, and the other three teams were accompanying him.
Zhang Ze saw Dr. Beth coming too, so he walked over to ask her about carnivores.
"Flesh-eaters are not the only kind of monsters in this world. In addition to them, there are also heart-eaters, bone-eaters and blood-eaters."
Dr. Beth explained patiently: "Legend has it that these four monsters were the failures of the gods when they created humans. Because they resented humans being favored, they hunted and preyed on humans everywhere."
"Both flesh-eaters and bone-eaters have very low IQs and only know how to kill, but heart-eaters and blood-eaters are very smart, especially the heart-eaters. They can use a kind of magic similar to hypnosis to control human minds. , causing human beings to lose their memory and self, and become another person.”
Beth smiled and said: "When you lost your memory before, we once suspected that you were attacked by the Heart Eaters, but the Heart Eaters rarely move in cold areas, so we were also very surprised. It turned out that we were wrong."
Zhang Ze nodded: "I understand, so those who move around our territory are mainly carnivores, right?"
"Yes, but there are other three types, but they are rare." Beth replied: "Comparatively speaking, flesh-eaters are actually the easiest to deal with. If you encounter the other three monsters, you must be careful. !”
Next to him, the Dragon King saw the flesh-eater knocking down two warriors, and he immediately became anxious. He wanted to rush forward to help, but was held down by the giant god.
The giant god warned the dragon king:
"Don't mess around. Our mission is to protect the prince. If you leave your post without permission, you may be punished."
"Don't forget, we are just clearing the Demon Realm. Try not to do anything unrelated to avoid causing complications."
"Okay..." The Dragon King was helpless. He turned his head to the side, out of sight and out of mind.
Liu Yueying stood with Zhang Ze. She watched for a while and said, "The swordsmanship practiced by these warriors is very ordinary, and it is far less sophisticated than the moves of my master the orc swordsman."
Zhang Ze smiled and said: "This world is different from the world where the orc swordsman lives. The two cannot be compared."
"But I can also see that in this world, not only are weapons relatively backward, but even magic is not very developed."
Compared with the cool magic they saw before, the magic used by these magician warriors is very simple.
For example, it can immobilize the monster's body, or add a thin shield to one's companions. In short, the moves are single and the function is not strong.
Zhang Ze wonders, is the magic in this world so ordinary, or have they not seen a real magician?
The battle lasted for about ten minutes, and all the flesh-eaters wandering around the nest were eliminated. However, no one among the young warriors died, and only six were injured.
Knight Commander Elliot has been paying attention to the entrance to the lair. He is worried that the battle outside will alert the predators inside the lair.
Fortunately, this situation did not occur. According to his understanding of flesh-eaters, these monsters were most likely still sleeping.
As long as they are full, they will fall into a hibernation-like sleep and will not wake up easily.
Only when hungry will it run out of the nest and look for food everywhere.
"Well done, soldiers!" Knight Commander Elliot was very satisfied with everyone's performance. He ordered: "Teams 8 and 9, place explosives!"
The two teams immediately carried out the order and installed the explosives they carried at the entrance of the cave. At the same time, they connected the fuses. After everyone left safely, they lit the fuses.
With a loud sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking, the entire cave was blown down, and huge rocks blocked the entrance tightly. Not even a mouse could escape, not to mention carnivores.
Knight Commander Elliot led people to check the situation at the entrance and said with satisfaction: "Very good. Now these beasts can never come out again. Let them starve to death underground!"
This operation was very successful, and Prince Edward was very happy, talking and laughing with the people around him.
Zhang Ze could see that the prince was indeed a person who really cared about the people. Although Zhang Ze didn't know what was going on with the queen, he felt that letting Prince Edward ascend the throne would be a good thing for the country and the people. good thing.
The battle left the soldiers physically and mentally exhausted. Prince Edward felt sorry for these children who were about the same age as him, so he discussed with Knight Commander Elliot to let everyone rest where they were for a while before leaving.
But Knight Commander Elliot disagreed. He believed that it was still unsafe here and it would be safer to return to the forest camp to rest.
In the end, the prince listened to Knight Commander Elliot's suggestion and asked everyone to return to the camp to rest.
Although everyone was tired, no one complained. After packing up their things, they started to return.
Just when the team walked a few hundred meters, a girl suddenly screamed!
"Ah! A hand came out of the ground and grabbed my foot!"
As soon as the female warrior shouted, the ground beneath her feet collapsed instantly, and she was dragged into the cave!
Everyone was shocked, but before they could react, seven or eight more people were dragged underground, their life or death unknown!
"Spread out! Everyone spread out!"
Knight Commander Elliot's heart sank, and he immediately shouted: "It's flesh-eaters, they are attacking us underground!"
Zhang Ze narrowed his eyes. He guessed that the sound of the explosion must have awakened the predators in the nest. They found that the entrance was blocked and dug tunnels into the ground.
The soil in this wasteland is loose and there is no hard rocky soil. Carnivores can easily dig into the ground. The team happened to be walking on it and became the target of attack.
After hearing the order, everyone dispersed immediately, but more and more hands came out of the ground, making it difficult to guard against, and the scene was chaotic.
Zhang Feng looked at the densely packed arms appearing on the ground, as if the dead were resurrected from the ground, and his scalp was numb with fear!
Knight Commander Elliot thrust his sword into the ground hard, and the monster's screams came from inside. He pulled out his sword, and blood suddenly poured out like a fountain!
"Protect the prince and leave first, quickly!"
Knight Commander Elliot shouted orders to the captains of the three squads around Prince Edward. He was worried that something might happen to the prince.
"Your Highness, leave quickly!"
Maya shouted: "Leave this to us!"
Prince Edward turned pale with fear and was escorted by a group of people to retreat towards the forest.
Zhang Ze and others also followed, and the giant god reminded everyone to pay attention to their steps.
A group of people were running when they suddenly felt their feet were empty and the ground collapsed!
Boom!
More than ten people fell down at the same time, including Zhang Ze, Zhang Feng, Shandao Buqing and Moonlight Rabbit.
"Zhang Ze!"
Liu Yueying stood on the ground and shouted into the dark hole.
The prince also stopped and wanted to come back to save people, but Maya ordered him to be taken away.
"Guys... I'm sorry!" Maya looked at the hole, gritted her teeth, turned around and followed the prince.
When several people saw that the giant god, Dragon King and others were still standing there, they shouted to them: "Go quickly! They are hopeless!"
"Go away! You are hopeless!" Dragon King yelled, and the latter shook his head and ignored them.
"Big God boss, what should I do?" Yiye Zhiqiu looked solemn.
The giant god pondered for a moment and said: "Find the rope, let's go down too!"
At the same time, underground cave.
"Brother! Brother! Where are you?"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Zhang Ze thought, and the Fighting Buddha appeared beside him. The Buddha's light illuminated the dark cave, allowing him to see everything around him clearly.
There were several corpses of dead soldiers on the ground. Zhang Feng was pressed by one of the corpses, and his face turned pale with fear.
Not far away, the little Moonlight Rabbit was pulling towards Zhang Ze without emotion.
There were still a few surviving Guards soldiers lying on the ground groaning, as if their muscles and bones had been injured.
"Master, something is approaching us."
Douzhan Buddha looked towards the depths of the tunnel with his fiery eyes, where several figures were moving quickly towards this side.
"It's a carnivore!"
Zhang Ze narrowed his eyes and ordered: "Deal with these monsters and then send us up."
"Obey my master."
The victorious Buddha opened his palm, and a small golden iron rod slowly appeared in his palm.
