"Clan leader, there is a group of demons in the depression 300 meters to the west."
Erin bent her body slightly, hiding her thin body next to Allen, and quietly reported the results of her investigation to Allen, who was lying in a depression on the hillside.
"The opponent has 23 demons, including 1 mad war demon, 5 horned demons, and flo demons..."
It has been 4 months since Allen and his team arrived at the grassland front line. During these 4 months, except for several large-scale battles when they first arrived at the front line, in the next more than two months, Allen and his team Most of them are engaged in small-scale fights with the demon team on this grassland called Hultan Plains.
The fighting is brutal, because you never know what kind of demon your team will encounter on the grassland. Sometimes a team of hundreds of people thought it would be relatively safe, but they were not careful when they encountered a team of thousands of people. Demons ambush, or a legendary demon will suddenly appear and wipe out the entire team in less than half a magic hour.
The demons and centaur armies in the Hultan Plains re-established a continuous battlefield of confrontation and stalemate. Between the hundreds of miles of battlefield defense lines, there was a buffer zone of more than ten miles wide reserved by both sides.
Allen and the others are currently in this buffer zone. He, along with 11 tribesmen including Kerr and Irene, are engaged in guerrilla warfare in this buffer zone, looking for the demon squads that are also roaming here.
In the past few months, Allen and the others have lost two more tribesmen, but their gains are not small. At this time, their entire team has accumulated more than 3,000 merits, which is only one step away from the Snowmi tribe's requirement of 5,000 merits. far away.
In a large-scale melee, as long as the participating warriors can fight bravely and show no fear of battle, each person will receive 30 meritorious deeds after victory, and the fallen warrior will have 50 meritorious deeds recorded in the book. Then, in small-scale battles, there will be judging criteria based on the captured demon heads, effective intelligence obtained, etc.
Allen and his team experienced a total of 4 battles involving more than 10,000 people, and received a total of 2,000+ meritorious service. The rest are just like now, the fixed mission rewards of patrolling and reconnaissance buffer areas, and the merits accumulated by killing demons.
It was also in order to complete the request made by the Snowmi tribe as soon as possible and quickly send Kerr and the other young goblins back to the Green Plains, so Allen would take huge risks and take them with him to carry out the task of patrolling the buffer zone.
It is good to get meritorious service in a large-scale battle with more than ten thousand people, but the risks and dangers that need to be endured are also painful. During the 4th war, Allen and this group of teenagers almost danced on the tip of the knife, except Except that the second battle was easier, every other battle cost Allen almost half of his life, and most of the tribesmen around him were also scarred. Just the damaged armor and mail, Allen was... I can’t remember how many sets I’ve replaced.
Fortunately, in Mansha City at the time, when Allen agreed to take his tribe south to the battlefield, he hoarded a batch of supplies and equipment in dimensional bags at any cost, so that the young people like Kerr did not suffer from the lack of protective power. And became one of the countless cold corpses on the grassland.
The thousand-man brigade brought by Fisher has been severely damaged in these four months, and now there are only more than 300 people including Allen's team. Even the 100 Basilisk Cavalry, Fisher's favorite, now only has 53 people left, including Fisher himself.
It was also because of the heavy losses suffered by their Snowmi brigade that in a large-scale battle half a month ago, Snowmi and the others were not sent to the front line. Instead, they roamed around the battlefield together with the remnants of other wilderness tribes as a supplement. strength.
The support troops behind are far away. At least Fisher doesn't know when the second batch of reinforcements from Snow Mi will arrive. When the second batch of reinforcements arrives, he can take the remaining group of troll warriors. Return to the rear and rest for a while.
"Are there no other ambush soldiers around?"
Allen looked up and asked with focused eyes.
"I have searched the surrounding area for a mile, and there is absolutely no second team showing up!"
Erin nodded seriously. She had changed a lot in the past few months. Her tone gradually became more confident. Although she was still gentle, she had a sonorous tone.
"Okay, everyone, get ready for a quick victory!!"
After Allen got the answer he wanted, he decided to take action on the spot. The total number of demon heads in this group was worth at least 10 merit points. How could he not be tempted.
"Kill~~~"
A low command sounded, and Allen was the first to rush forward, followed closely by Kerr and Bush. The team formed an arrow formation, led by Allen, and rushed directly into the wilderness where several people were feasting. The demon of native corpses.
"Gu~~~~"
"Greenskin attack~~~"
The demon raised his head and looked at the goblin team charging towards them. Instead of panicking, he was a little more crazy and happy. He made all kinds of strange screams and rushed towards Allen and the others in twos and threes.
Linus was sitting on the back of the smoke pony, waving his staff in an orderly manner as the smoke pony's back undulated, muttering spells in his mouth, and magical spells followed the staff or were applied to his companions. On them, or directly on the grass where the devil is.
"Ah~~"
The soft grass, with the use of Linus's magic, turned into sharp grass needles, which plunged directly into the big feet and hind paws of the demon who was not used to wearing leather boots and collided with Allen. Triggering screams of pain.
Irene's figure had already disappeared from sight when Allen and the others launched their charge. Her swift movements were displayed without scruple, and she actually met the devil faster than Allen and the others. But no one saw her. She bypassed the large group of demons advancing and instead killed her lone opponent behind the demons.
When Allen and the others fought against the demon for the first time, Irene's short body suddenly appeared behind a bulky horned demon. There were two air-thorn blades made by the Void Spider Qianao, which directly passed through the unprotected body of the horned demon. The throat and the temple on the top of the head were stabbed sharply and stably, killing this unlucky guy.
Before other demons could react, Irene stretched her body again, and then spread the shadow energy from a distance. Her body was slowly protected by the shadow plane again, and then she continued her next assassination operation.
Every assassination move was performed calmly and calmly by Irene without any delay, causing the death of three demons in a short period of time.
Kerr and Bush cooperated with each other. The heavy sledgehammer and heavy sword were like scissors, directly sandwiching a reincarnation demon in the middle. A head that was very similar to a dog's head was smashed into pieces of mud on the spot. Unable to issue a self-destruct command to the body, a beast body with a burning breath slowly fell down.
Barrington struck hard with his shield, directly hitting the sensitive nose of a Bagurah demon. It made its head dizzy on the spot. His movements slowed down, and then he passed a thin sword through the demon's eye socket from the side, stirred it for a while, and then retracted it. , without looking at the opponent's situation, Shusheng's figure rushed towards the next target again.
Allen stopped the Mad War Demon. They were both high-level, but the gap in strength became more and more obvious. Allen's movements became simpler, but the power was more restrained. Every time he swung the Bone Slayer, he had the special effect of heavy cutting. . After several months of actual combat, although Allen's individual strength has not improved much and has been stuck at the peak of high-level, his use of techniques and tactics has become more and more heroic.
The Mad War Demon gathered all his strength and was able to withstand Allen's attacks again and again. He tried to utter blasphemous words but was interrupted by Allen time and time again. The evil aura and the power of the abyss enveloped his whole body. But the impact on Allen was almost nonexistent. The expertise honed through countless fights in the abyss always came back with Alan's seemingly simple slashing and sweeping movements.
"puff!!"
The left rib of the Mad War Demon was directly picked up diagonally by Allen's Bone Slayer, creating a deep gash. Allen tapped lightly on the grass, followed the retreating steps of the Mad War Demon, and hit a triple wave head-on. This is the first time that Allen has used a powerful combat skill. In the dozens of previous fights, Allen had only made ordinary slashes with heavy slashing effects.
"ah!!"
The Mad War Demon put an ax handle against his chest and knelt directly on the ground with one left leg. His body, which was half taller than Allen, was now half-kneeling on the grass. His footprints and knees were deeply pressed into the soft grass. Kankange blocked Allen's heavy triple wave.
Before the opponent could stand up again, Allen's bone cutter did not retract it or raise it to the highest point. He just left the steel ax blade more than a meter away and then smashed it down again.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
After several ordinary chops in succession, the Mad War Demon's right calf sank directly into the grass, and the knee of his left leg was almost invisible.
"Gu..."
A stream of blood foam spewed out of the mouth of the mad war demon, and then it could no longer stop the gushing movement. It reluctantly continued to make a defensive posture, and then was picked up by Allen's bone cutter, and the steel ax flew into the air.
"Pfft~~~"
With a simple diagonal chop, a complete head of the Berserker Demon was chopped off by Allen. The half-kneeling body of the Berserker Demon also maintained its previous movements because its legs were sunk into the ground. , like a headless sculpture, except for the inch-high black blood spurting out from the neck, which was somewhat terrifying.
He casually picked up the head on the ground and threw it into the dimensional bag behind his back. Allen swung the bone cutter again, and with the assistance of the smoke step that pulled out a shadow, he passed directly through the side of the horned demon who was fighting fiercely. Before the body of the horned demon, which was divided into two corpses, fell down, Allen's figure appeared again next to another mid-level demon, his movements smooth and smooth.
Soon, the battle came to an end. Whether it was Allen or Kerr, young goblins, they had been fighting and fighting in the past few months, and finally they all transformed, and their strength improved by no means.
"Ah~~"
Just when the battle was about to end, Bush, who was standing outside the team, suddenly shouted in fear. A ghostly figure appeared next to Bush, and a dagger penetrated his heavy armor and penetrated several inches into his back. .
Hearing the call, Barrington came over with a shield to protect him. A heavy and thick shield penetrated between the bodies of Bush and the assassin, who were almost close to each other, and then he held Bush and spun around.
When Allen heard the call, his heart tightened. No matter whether there was accidental injury or not, two angry slashes struck him, followed closely by his full-strength smoke wave walking technique. figure. The fury skill that had not been used before was activated at the same time as he jumped forward, making his forward movement three minutes faster.
Bush is the child that Allen watched grow up, and he is also the descendant of his childhood relative Shi Shi. Allen has put a lot of effort into him, and has already regarded him and Kerr as his own children. Seeing Bush being assassinated in front of him, Allen suddenly felt a panic that he had never experienced before. However, this panic was soon suppressed by him. He had already turned on the Bing Xin arm guard. The mechanized mind throws all unnecessary emotions behind.
"Snapped!!"
A piece of grass flew up from the ground, and Allen's Bone Slayer struck the air. A thin assassin figure with two sharp thorns growing out of his arms appeared a few meters away in front of Allen.
"Jie Jie Jie, what a pity, delicious blood food."
The assassination demon provocatively stuck out a long tongue with his big mouth, licked the cold light dagger in his right hand, and made a strange breath in his mouth.
"Ke'er, take the people back."
Allen stopped the assassination demon's progress, stared at the assassination demon without looking back, and shouted to the tribesmen behind him.
"yes!!"
After experiencing the initial panic, the ten team members of Kerr and Barrington no longer cared about the loot falling on the battlefield. They carried Bush's limp body and retreated to the front line controlled by the Centaur tribe.
Allen did not wait for Kerr and the others to leave completely before taking action. Instead, while giving orders to Kerr and the others, he rushed out and slashed at the assassination demon with a few slashes of anger that had been accumulated for a long time. Together with the surrounding directions in which it might dodge, it was enveloped within the range of Angry Slash.
As soon as Allen moved, the opponent also started to move. It made a confrontation posture at that time, just to confuse Allen's behavior. When trying to anger Allen, it was rapidly unfolding its shadow energy, and it was almost able to hide its figure again.
However, Allen's quick angry slash made the assassination demon's idea come to nothing, but it did not have much impact on the assassination demon. The figure of the opponent was like a ghost, interspersed between the gaps of the angry slash, as if dancing on the tip of the knife. Not affected at all.
Time and time again, Allen's slashes failed, and the opponent seemed to be playing tricks on Allen, often evading Allen's bone cutter by a hair's breadth. Even if he occasionally uses a dagger to resist Allen's heavy chops, it's like moving a thousand pounds. The dagger is just a tool to pull Allen's bone cutter away from its original target.
For the first time, Allen seemed so frustrated in the battle. Although he had strong lethality, he could not attack effectively. However, the opponent's stabs could often achieve the effect of attacking the enemy and saving him, forcing him to attack. Allen had to change his movements, and then the opponent would retreat completely from his transformed attack.
After dozens of breaths passed, Allen failed to cause much damage to his opponent. On the contrary, there were several new wounds on his old python scales, and even on his exposed neck, there was a wound about an inch wide. The shallow wound almost penetrated his throat.
"die!!"
Finally, Allen seized an opportunity and took advantage of the opportunity for his opponent to stab directly. Using the technique and tactics of the Kuanglan Sword, a heavy bone cutter was swept away. The rotation of his whole body drove the heavy bone cutter. The player's rapid swing directly enveloped the opponent's body.
The expected impact did not come, and when Allen regained his balance, his opponent turned out to be a shadow jumping, emerging from the shadow of the corpse of the Berserker Demon that Allen had killed before.
Seeing this, Allen rushed over with a smoke step. At the same time, his left hand was concealed deep into the dimensional bag. When he stretched it out again, he made a move full of anger. A black shadow turned into lightning and shot directly towards the assassin who had just emerged from the shadow. magic.
"Take it!!"
Finally, Allen's attack was effective. The assassin was caught off guard and swung his dagger, blocking the object shot by Allen. However, at the same time, the heavy force attached to the hidden weapon shot by Allen was carried back several meters. , and a dull hum came from his mouth.
"Crack!"
A throwing ax fell to the ground. It was the hidden weapon that Allen had thrown before. It turned out that while preparing long-range weapons for Kerr and the others, Allen also reserved some throwing axes for himself. Although he already has the medium and long-range attack method of Wrath Slash, and although he does not have any long-range shooting talent, this is not the reason for him to give up using the throwing axe.
Thanks to his powerful strength, even if Allen does not have the skills and talent for long-range projection, at least he can still control the general direction when he throws the flying axe. Moreover, as long as this flying ax can hit the target, its power is not inferior to Allen's direct powerful attack.
After countless unsuccessful attacks, facing the assassination demon as slippery as a loach, Allen had no choice but to take out the throwing ax and try his luck. Who would have thought that the first time he used the flying ax, the effect was unexpectedly good. At least the assassin demon in front of him, who was obviously weaker than Shaoxue, could not escape from the flying ax.
Taking advantage of your illness to kill you, Allen doesn't know what it means to be soft-hearted, and he doesn't have the ability. Seeing that the Fury skill has expired for almost 34 seconds, if he can't severely damage the opponent and weaken the opponent's strength, then the dangerous person will Became Allen.
His footsteps touched the grass, leaving deep footprints along the way, but at the same time, Allen's body skills were also raised to the limit. When he rushed in front of the assassination demon who had just taken a breath, Allen's figure suddenly split into three. Said, he pounced in three directions in front of the assassination demon, making it completely difficult for him to judge his true target of attack.
However, Allen had good expectations. His opponent was also experienced in many battles and had just recovered. He did not hesitate to shadow jump three times a day. After only using this life-saving skill for a few breaths, he again Cast the shadow jump at once.
However, before casting the shadow jump, a scroll of flash magic was swayed out of the Assassination Demon's hand, temporarily creating shadows that were enough to jump forward on the battlefield where there were not many shadows.
Allen's eyes changed. The feeling of powerlessness caused by the bone cutter in his hand made him roll forward. He pulled out his left hand from the dimensional bag again, and this time he took out 3 or 4 flying axes. Without thinking, he threw all his axes at the biggest target on the left - the corpse of the Mad War Demon half-kneeling on the ground.
At the same time, after rolling around on the ground, Allen, who was half-kneeling on the ground, turned around and struck out with a sword. Regardless of whether there was an assassin figure behind him, he slashed out with a fierce sweep.
"Ding! Ding!"
The Bone Slayer finally struck the point, and Allen's powerful wild intuition once again helped him master the situation on the battlefield.
The assassin's thin body turned into a heavy cannonball, rolling over more than ten meters on the grass and splashing a long line of grass dust. At this time, the corpse of the Mad Fighting Demon, which was hit by two flying axes, also fell down, mixing with the sound of the Assassination Demon rolling to the ground.
Allen stood up and chased after him directly. This assassin was very powerful and was the strongest person he had ever encountered in his short life, below the level of legend. At this time, he had the upper hand. If he could take the opportunity to take the opponent's life, that would really reassure Allen.
"Pfft~~~"
With a furious slash, Allen slashed it out without reservation. A crack several meters wide opened directly on the ground, but his target was directly destroyed. At the last critical moment, the last shadow jump of the day. , fighting for the last chance for the opponent.
Allen raised his head again and scanned the slightly undulating plains around him. Dozens of meters away, a wolfish figure was running towards the southern grasslands, dragging a long shadow.
Allen was about to start and continue to chase, but at this time, the time limit of the Fury skill expired, and a feeling of emptiness came over his body. Allen's body swayed on the grass for a few times before he was able to control it again.
"snort!!"
Staring at the retreating figure, Allen's eyes were fierce but he groaned helplessly. He didn't look back until the figure turned into a black dot.
After quickly cleaning up the battlefield, the corpses of more than twenty demons were piled on the grass. Allen poured a skin of kerosene on them and set them on fire, then started running towards his own front.
At this time, his worry about Bush arose again in his heart, and he chased the traces left by Kerr and the others. Allen soon found the traces of Kerr and the others.
"What's going on with Bush?"
After catching up with Kerr and the others, Allen's first thing was to ask about Bush's situation.
"I just poured a bottle of high-level healing potion into him, and Linus cast another one on him to treat minor injuries. He is now unconscious."
There was a heavy look in Kerr's eyes. Kerry, Shusheng and others were carrying Bush and moving forward neatly with their hands and feet.
"As long as I survive."
As long as you can still breathe, after returning to the military camp, you can call on the high-level druids and radiant healers in the army to help save Bush's life.
Although these high-level magicians would probably need some meritorious deeds from Allen and the others, compared to Bush's life, these extraneous things were nothing to regret.
"Just a few seconds before Bush was stabbed through the heart with a dagger."
When Kerr checked Bush's body, she was also worried about him. The assassin was half a head shorter than the Bugbear, and Bush had many companions around him, so the target he chose for the assassination was the chest and heart instead of the chest. The effects of the brain and back stabs were mostly blocked by the heavy armor, sparing Bush a small life.
But even so, Bush's heart was cut open, which is why he is still in a coma. The heart lost a large amount of blood rapidly, so even if he was treated quickly, the blood lost in his chest was still there. , if you want to make up for it again, it cannot be done by simple magic.
