"Rumble..."
The sound of heavy footsteps and the clang of weapons clashing suddenly woke me up from my dream.
"What's going on?" I asked, taking a few steps forward.
"Sir, the monsters are attacking again."
The mercenaries immediately saluted and said respectfully. Their faces did not show any panic when they were attacked, but instead showed a flush of excitement. It seemed that they also knew what this meant.
This means we don't have to give up advantageous defenses and let them die on their own.
I speeded up a few steps and stepped onto the small sentry tower I usually used for observation. Dhruv and Al were already standing there.
"Wu, did you see it? They came to your door by themselves."
Dhruv turned around, his calm and heavy face could not suppress his excitement at this time. He was also under great pressure. If the monster really didn't attack again, he would lead the soldiers to fight a surprise attack, which would inevitably increase a lot. How can casualties be as easy as waiting for work now?
Looking from a distance, it was still the cannon fodder team that led the charge, the vanguard composed of Sinking Demons and Blade Demons, but their numbers were far less than the first time. Without the leadership of Bisu Bosu, they looked even more pitiful at this time. , looking at the momentum with which they rush forward, it is more appropriate to say that it is tragic rather than magnificent.
"Whizzing……"
The high platform and arrow tower that were rebuilt yesterday exerted their power and took advantage of the commanding position. A shower of arrows rained down on the soldiers from a long distance away. Even the mages did not take action. It seemed that they wanted to keep their magic power. to the critical moment.
"I'll also go and join in."
The two brothers Lal and the Barbarian who were standing here couldn't sit still. They took out their bows and arrows and ran outside. Then, the others also left because of "temporary matters", leaving only Dhruv who couldn't leave, and I was too embarrassed to take action because my archery skills were exhausted. Standing there with a wry smile.
Next, there are less than a thousand dark hunters and spearmen, as well as the almost extinct hard-skinned rats. Hey, they dare to show up in this small number. I don’t even bother to describe their defeated and embarrassed posture. Okay, skip it.
Then there is the most critical group, which was focused on in the previous battle. Now there were only more than a thousand skeleton archers and black wanderers left. When they started to charge, Dhruv had a calm smile on his face, but he took a closer look. His hand has been held tightly, asking you to pretend...
"Whoosh..."
"boom……"
These long-range monsters received intense attention as soon as they entered the shooting range, and the mages who had been preparing for a long time finally took action. A series of arrow rain and magic bombing suppressed them instantly.
"good……"
Seeing this, Dhruv couldn't help shouting loudly.
"Continue to follow this momentum, tomorrow. No, if we pursue the victory, we can end this battle today."
"Fighters, keep working hard. You can be reunited with your family tomorrow."
He shouted from the watchtower. The soldiers immediately boiled up, with an overwhelming rain of arrows and magic. It also seems to herald the arrival of victory. If this guy were placed in the original world, he would definitely be an instigating first-level dangerous person.
The only threatening long-range monsters fell one after another, and the melee army was blocked from the ravine. As long as the long-range monsters were completely eliminated, it would be their turn next. Seeing this, I felt relaxed.
Although many people were sacrificed, this battle seemed to go more smoothly than expected.
"Ah...ah..."
Just when I was thinking this, there was a sudden burst of screams for help from the back of the village, followed by a rumble of explosions like being hit by artillery shells, followed by the rumble of houses collapsing...
Dhruv and I looked at each other in surprise, and then immediately ran towards the direction of the incident.
With Xiaoxue's speed, I rushed to the scene sooner than Dhruv. The scene in front of me shocked and angered me. Dozens of soldiers had fallen into a pool of blood, and there were also some injured soldiers, together with those who wanted to fight for the future. The soldiers who stayed behind as a precaution were entangled with hundreds of foul-smelling crows.
It's a group of stinking crows, these smelly and hard things. The sound of the house collapsing just now was probably caused by their "straight-line impact".
Damn it, despite all the calculations, I still took one step forward.
I shouted angrily, and rushed forward with Xiaoxue and the others. After a while, Dhruv and other people who came after hearing the news also arrived one after another. These stinking crows, whose strength was even lower than that of the Sinking Demon, did not take long. All were cleared by us.
"How about it, I wiped the blood on my face."
He hurriedly asked the soldier next to him.
"Well, everyone rushed quickly, and the soldiers were not injured at all, but..."
The soldier said hesitantly.
"But what?" I grabbed the soldier anxiously.
"Don't be like this, Wu." Dhruv patted me on the shoulder.
"Yes...I'm sorry..." I let out a big breath. No matter who he was, as long as he thought about being played by a group of low-level monsters, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to swallow this breath.
"No, sir, the villagers are villagers. Many of them were taken away." The soldier said while enduring the pain.
"Village?"
"Capture him?"
"Are you sure you want to arrest, not kill?" I said in a questioning tone.
"Yes, they were captured by the foul-smelling crows. My subordinates are sure that hundreds of foul-smelling crows rushed over at that time. Everyone was not careful for a moment, and hundreds of villagers were picked up and taken away."
The soldier said in a positive tone.
"What are these stinky crows trying to do?" Dhruv punched the tree hard.
"I just didn't expect that at the last minute, we were still just one step ahead." I said with a wry smile.
In fact, as for the foul-smelling crows in the Stone Wilderness, because they are the only monsters with the ability to fly nearby, we have already paid special attention to them when digging trenches, although we have not detected any trace of them before the battle.
During the first battle, even when outmanned, a part of me was dedicated to watching out for them.
But they did not appear at that time. Dhruv and I thought that the stench crows did not follow the monster army because they were unable to leave their nests. However, it happened after the war was about to end. They came unexpectedly.
What exactly is their purpose? If it was for this battle, then why not attack during the first battle? Isn't it already too late to attack by now? If it is to arrest people, then such tactics are justified, but if it is just for this, then what is the purpose of launching this war and what is the meaning?
Suddenly, heavy doubts shrouded everyone.
"My lord, my lord..."
A miserable hoarse sound woke me up. I looked up and saw Butu.
"Master Wu Fan, you must save Vilas, I beg you. Master, I am only a granddaughter. Her father also sacrificed for the Rogge camp. For her father's sake. I Please, you must save her and him!!"
Lao Lei laid out the plan and cried loudly outside, but was stopped by several soldiers. He knelt on the ground on the spot, banging his forehead.
Willas? I couldn't help but picture a figure humming a tune while holding a spoon and a wooden bowl. A kind and beautiful girl who holds her most proud face in front of her.
"Dhruv. The rest will be left to you."
I thought for a moment. Then he stepped on Xiaoxue and sighed softly.
"Wu. Don't be reckless. The enemy's strength is unknown this time..." Dhruv exclaimed.
"So I'm going to investigate now! Find out the enemy behind you. This is the mission of our special operations team! Don't worry, with Xiaoxue here, I can still escape even if we can't win."
I said to Dhruv with confidence, but to be honest, I didn't have much confidence at all, but I couldn't back down.
"Hey, I don't even know what to say to you, okay, but remember to do your best."
Seeing that I was stubborn, Dhruv could only sigh softly, and then said solemnly.
"Tell me which way the foul crow went."
"That...over there..."
"Without further ado, I'll leave it to you, Dhruv..."
As soon as the soldier finished speaking, my Xiaoxue's figure had already jumped out.
"I don't know if the Akara adults have got the news. It would be better to send someone to inform them."
Dhruv looked at my retreating figure and thought anxiously.
…
After coming out of Vitas Village, I chased for about an hour, and I slowly entered the misty forest. Then, the fog became thicker and thicker, and the result was like this...
"It seems that we shouldn't act without authorization. I believe that the old men Kasha and Farah will not sit idly by in such an emergency. Why are we so anxious? Well, no, maybe they won't take action. They can't do anything to them." They become dependent."
While I was thinking about random things, I was cautiously moving forward in the fog. Even Xiaoxue, the king of the jungle, couldn't seem to tell the current direction, let alone a road-crazy like me?
The fog in front of me is like layers of white gauze, lifting one layer after another, repeating monotonous colors endlessly. Except for the sound of breathing and Xiaoxue's footsteps, there is nothing. No, not even a tree. Isn't this a forest? The doubts in my mind are getting heavier and heavier.
"Woo~~"
Xiaoxue, who was moving forward lightly, suddenly let out a deep roar.
"Have you found the direction?"
It was as if I had found a life-saving straw.
"Woo~~"
A sense of unknown vigilance came from Xiaoxue. I swallowed hard. For safety reasons, I took out the +2 anti-halo scepter, and then jumped down from it. One person and one wolf, slowly. Walk slowly towards the front.
Xiaoxue is indeed the king of the jungle. Not far away, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the fog in front of me was getting lighter and lighter. From being unable to see my fingers, I could barely see the scenery one or two meters away. , in this way, even if an enemy appears, he will have the strength to fight, at least there will not be a one-sided situation of being beaten.
However, my steps are becoming more and more cautious. If the enemy in front of me is really the mastermind behind this, then I will face an unprecedentedly powerful enemy, at least in terms of intelligence.
The fog is getting lighter and lighter, and the trees that I haven't encountered for a long time gradually appear in front of me. Only now can I roughly figure out where I am.
A large piece of primitive forest seems to be surrounded by tall and towering broad-leaved trees. The huge tree roots on the ground are intertwined and the grass is lush. But the difference is that these tall trees are sparsely distributed among each other and in an orderly manner. None of the dwarf trees that are often seen in the forest were seen. It seemed as if they had been carefully taken care of. Only the lush and lush trees were left, as well as the green and lovely grass all over the ground, plus a touch of light. The mist looks like a fairyland in the forest.
In this fairyland-like scenery, I dare not be careless at all. The more beautiful things are, the more dangerous they are. The strong danger signal coming from my intuition makes me feel that this place is more and more strange and unpredictable.
Sure enough, not far away, the light mist, which was already as thin as a layer of transparent white gauze, suddenly and slowly changed. The faint white color was slowly dyed with a layer of light unconsciously. The color of blood, when I noticed it, the surroundings were already covered in a layer of blood. The strong smell of blood filled the air, even I could smell it, not to mention the sensitive Xiaoxue.
The picturesque forest and bloody mist seem to be the intersection of heaven and hell, the edge of light and darkness.
He jumped up to the roots of a tree that was more than one meter high, then jumped a few times, bypassing this towering tree of unknown height, and jumped down. The sight in front of him suddenly became bright...
