(I came home from school today and had a lot of things to do. This chapter is a little short. I will add more from the day after tomorrow. The minimum limit is at least 5,000 per day.)
"Team 1, quickly go to the city sewer outlet to check. Teams 2 to 4, take all your team members to patrol the neighborhoods and other places. If you find similar things, burn them immediately. Pay special attention to the city wall area. Don't ignore it. Problem over there.”
"Teams five and six, together with all the technical staff, go to Stevenson Academy of Magic, which should be the core of everything."
In the communication magic system of the Night Blade, orders are being transmitted layer by layer. All the Night Blade operators stationed in the royal city acted quickly under the orders and rushed to their respective posts. .
The storm of winter wolves outside the city has begun to affect the royal city. The bloodthirsty and crazy winter wolves no longer regard migration as their goal. The desire to kill has occupied their brains, which have little wisdom to speak of. The place with the most flesh and blood is undoubtedly the large number of residents inside the royal city.
At this time, the city guards stationed in the city, except for some newly recruited members, were either soldiers who returned from the front line or soldiers who survived the Hell Gate incident. They were no longer the ragtag group before the Hell Gate invasion.
They assembled in an orderly manner under the guidance of intelligence, and then rushed to various areas outside the city wall to join the hunters who were originally preparing for winter hunting for defense.
There is no breakthrough growth in strength, but the growth in willpower and execution of these city guards has been clearly demonstrated. After the rendezvous, they used their strong positions and overall strength to basically control the crazy winter wolf tide.
Although there are still constant casualties due to these winter wolves who completely gave up life and death and only knew how to launch an attack of mutual destruction, the city guards still performed their duties very well, and not a single winter wolf set foot within the walls of the royal city. .
The Blades of Night are also on the move, and what they face is a bit more troublesome than the crazy winter wolf.
"Here! Mark it and let the scavengers handle it."
"Dig up the surrounding area, there's something down here too!"
"What on earth is this and when did it spread to this extent?"
"Don't use the method of detecting void energy or magic power. It's useless. This is not a magical creature, nor is it a creature of the void. Use your eyes to see it and use your hands to dig it open."
Several groups of Night Blade teams were rapidly searching and cleaning up the city, and their target was some kind of non-"extraordinary" creature that began to spread underground in the city at some unknown time.
"What the hell is this?" A Night Blade soldier pulled out a mass of flesh and blood tentacles from the ground that were entangled and coiled like plant roots and spreading around.
These things that were made of flesh and blood but spread like plant roots appeared in every corner of the royal city soon after Stevenson Magic Academy was suddenly wrapped in a bloody barrier.
Climbing out of the soil in the garden, clinging to trees and walls, or emerging from gaps in buildings and growing on the surface of anything they can reach. Although similar to plant roots, they have Unimaginable growth speed and mobility.
The Edge of Night initially tried to adopt the general approach to dealing with void creatures, expelling them back to the void, but soon they discovered that these growing flesh and blood roots did not seem to have anything to do with the so-called void creatures. They... seemed to be just some special ones. Just weird creatures.
"When did they spread so widely? I heard from a team that there seem to be more on the inside of the sewer wall. Is this thing growing like this without being detected?"
The soldier pulled out a large ball of flesh and roots. Due to the force, a large number of roots broke during the pulling, and bright red blood overflowed from them, dyeing the surrounding land red.
Looking at these flesh and blood roots that were constantly twisting and rolling in his hands, the soldier looked solemn. The properties of these things were too similar to void creatures, but no matter what the detection method, the results were that they had nothing to do with the void. .
"It's just because they have nothing to do with the void that they can't be detected. Even our most elite members can't count how many plant roots and tunnels drilled by rats there are underground in the royal city. If they have nothing to do with the void, then these things They are essentially the same as the roots and buds of a tree, we cannot detect them until they are revealed."
A mage next to him who was responsible for providing fire spells for incineration calmly answered the question of the Night Blade soldier who had doubts but showed no signs of stagnation in his hands.
"I understand, but the timing of the appearance of these flesh and blood roots is too coincidental. It should have something to do with the barrier that appeared at Stevenson Magic Academy."
"Yes, the two teams responsible for technical support from the fifth team and the sixth team have quickly gone there. The results should be available soon. What we have to do is to deal with these suspicious things first." The mage continued to answer. Regarding the question of this soldier who was obviously more silent than other Night Blade soldiers.
"What is this?" The soldier continued to quickly open up the land in a small garden near the central city. What appeared inside was no longer an intricate entangled flesh and blood root system, but a layer of flesh wall with curvature. The more soil was removed and the overall appearance was revealed.
This is a sphere composed of flesh and blood, with a large number of flesh and blood roots connected to it, and it is still beating regularly. It can be clearly seen from the flesh and blood shell with a certain degree of translucency that there is something going on inside. Moving.
This soldier just talked a lot. When he discovered this flesh and blood sphere, he did not hesitate at all. His mission was to clean up these flesh, roots, and related things. What he wanted to do was not to figure out what these weird things were. , those who do this are members of the research team, and he is just a field worker. What he has to do is execute.
The sharp long sword in his hand was raised, and without hesitation it penetrated the flesh and blood cyst. A large amount of blood splashed out the moment the sword penetrated the skin, and something like amniotic fluid flowed out from inside, and there was also some cotton wool. Organic matter slipped from the collapsed flesh and blood skin.
The moving things seen inside did not seem to have died in such a short period of time, and were still squirming and rolling in the wreckage of broken flesh and blood capsules.
The long sword was raised again and stabbed down, strangling the things that were still moving. Then the flames from the mage arrived, burning the broken flesh and blood that the soldiers had taken out into a pile of dark debris.
No matter what they face, they are efficient, calm, and handle it with a rigorous but not rigid attitude. This is the Blade of the Night. Their number is not large compared with the city guards, but they are definitely the elite among ordinary soldiers.
"There is an abnormality here. Pay attention to the surrounding land." A serious reminder came from the side. A soldier of Night Blade stopped digging and put his hand on the long sword at his waist. Toward the nearby ground, around him, some soil was vibrating and bulging abnormally.
"Understand" The mage who was in charge of alerting and emergency response immediately diverted his attention from observing the surroundings to the soldier who issued the warning.
Having already had experience, he no longer used extraordinary means of spying to observe the situation under the ground. Instead, he tapped his staff on the surrounding ground. The vibration started from the tip of the staff and was then conducted into the ground, spreading the vibrations. The situation within a certain range of the ground around the soldier is fed back to the mage.
"Pay attention to your feet. There are a large number of abnormal cavities, and some unknown non-supernatural creatures are crawling out of these cavities and approaching your position. Pay attention to handling them, and other members should also pay attention."
The mage quickly digested and processed the information transmitted back by the spell, and then passed it on to remind all members of the Night Blade who were conducting the cleanup work.
"Understood." With a short and clear answer, all the soldiers of the Blade of the Night quickly adjusted their status and no longer continued to dig out the flesh and blood and roots hidden in the ground. Instead, they took their weapons and focused on on the surrounding ground.
Abnormal bulges and vibrations were appearing in the surrounding area, and some cracks appeared on the surface of the land. Soon, some small but fast creatures emerged from the cracks.
"Chichichichi!" These strange, flesh-colored, mouse-like creatures screamed harshly, but they were greeted by various weapons in the hands of soldiers who had been well prepared.
The long sword passed by, easily splitting these small and fragile creatures into two. These small creatures that emerged from the flesh and blood vesicles in the ground were killed quickly before they could do any destructive actions.
The soldiers dealt with it very quickly, but there were also a lot of these little flesh-and-blood creatures. The ground was constantly cracking. These little flesh-and-blood beasts sprang out from the broken ground. They kicked off the ground with their powerful hind legs and burst out at exaggerated speeds. Soldiers of the Night Blade.
"Crack!" The wide-open mouth was met by thick iron armor. These members of the Night Blade who are responsible for field operations are all wearing heavy armor. Compared with those plate armors used to show their identity and status, They were wearing real heavy-duty fortresses that protected all vital parts.
The sharp teeth in the little beast's mouth were unexpectedly sharp and tough, and they were actually embedded in these heavy armors under the powerful bite.
But unfortunately, compared to the thickness of these armors with tough leather embedded inside the outer metal layer, the sharp teeth of these little beasts are really not long enough. Even if they can barely penetrate the armor, they are completely unable to cause any harm to the soldiers. harm.
"Pfft!" The soldier's hand that was not holding the blade crushed the little beasts hanging on his body and chewed the armor, turning them into a puddle of flesh. While continuing to deal with the little beasts that emerged from the ground, he successfully Those who "attack" them kill.
"According to the observation and confirmation of spells, these things do not have any command. They just follow the nature of killing. Don't let these things go to crowded places. This will be a disaster. Inform all residents to pay attention to safety. The mage team, please All underground areas in the royal city will be cleaned as much as possible."
The mage observing the situation analyzed the collected intelligence, and then passed it on to all the Night Blade teams operating in the royal city with the help of communication props.
"receive!"
"receive!"
"The mage group is gathering, preparing to use a reduced power earthquake spell. Do you approve it?"
"The person with the highest authority is currently not in the communication. I will act as my agent and approve it."
Information was transmitted at an extremely fast rate, and the Night Blade team conducted high-speed exchanges and discussions, arranging every step of the action in an orderly manner.
"A large number of non-extraordinary and weird flesh-and-blood creatures appeared at the sewer exit. The strength displayed is somewhat abnormal. There are currently no casualties. Please apply for a reserve team for support."
"Roger! Team 7 speeds up to the location of team 1 to provide support. Team 8 remains on standby and is ready to dispatch at any time."
The long sword swept across, cutting into corpses the large number of weird flesh-and-blood creatures that kept rushing out in front of him. The shield was at the forefront, and the repeated impacts caused any monsters that tried to rush out to be knocked back to where they belonged. The mage continued to emit The series of fireballs they achieved by alternately casting spells effectively killed and divided the gathered flesh and blood creatures.
At this moment, a team of Night Blades were facing a steady stream of flesh-and-blood creatures pouring out of the sewer outlet. However, their formation was not disordered at all, and they killed and blocked these unknown creatures efficiently and calmly.
Rivers of blood flowed and pieces of flesh covered the ground, but it was completely unable to shake the will of these warriors who had dealt with the void a lot.
At this moment, there are varying numbers of flesh-and-blood creatures emerging from the ground all over the city, but they are not given any chance to move or destroy. The soldiers of the Blade of the Night quickly rush to all places where these creatures appear, efficiently The ground was cleared and defended.
The sudden situation, the weird flesh and blood root system that was difficult to detect, none of these made the soldiers and leaders of the Night Blade show any panic or confusion. This is the Night Blade, one of the most elite forces in the royal city.
