"But what I didn't expect was that we just lined up and everyone was ready for a bloody battle..."
"Those skeleton monsters ignored us... and wandered past us."
"What?" This time it was the governor and the old Taoist priest's turn to be surprised.
"No attack? No signs of bloodthirst or lust?"
The young sergeant who came back to report the news replied decisively: "No!"
"It's more like... they seem to be attracted by something, or called by something, and they are heading towards the same destination."
"Our captain thinks this matter is very problematic. Now he is mingling with the skeleton army and picking up some bones as a disguise. He wants to see where these skeleton monsters are going."
"Just send me, who has the fastest legs and feet, to come back and report the situation ahead to the governor."
"The marching speed of those skeleton monsters is not slow, similar to that of an ordinary army."
"Based on their footsteps, I'm afraid they will encounter our army soon."
This was a huge thing, and the governor's face suddenly became serious.
"Follow my order, the army will immediately take cover, line up on the left, and avoid the skeleton army."
These skeleton monsters are not interested in individual soldiers, but it does not mean that they are not interested in larger armies.
As the commander-in-chief of an army, he cannot ignore any danger.
Thanks to the fact that the governor was a veteran of many battles, as soon as his orders were carried out and the army gave up the plain facing south, the army of skeletons reported by the spies arrived.
"Skeletons, weird, weird, so many!"
The soldier lying at the front of the team saw so many skeleton monsters for the first time.
His mouth couldn't hold back the gourd.
The veteran next to him pressed his head down, lest his long neck be exposed.
Yeah, what a sight.
It's white, the bones are cracking, and countless weird-shaped bones are pieced together.
Maybe it's an animal, maybe it's a human, maybe it's just a random combination of half-animal and half-human.
Anything that can move is moving forward.
The investigators did not get any details wrong... If so many skeleton monsters were swarming towards the border...
A layer of cold sweat broke out on the governor's face.
Fortunately, fortunately they are heading south!
But what are they doing going south? You must know that although skeleton monsters can sometimes pass through the Jedi blockade and reach the scope of human activities.
However, the skeleton monsters belonging to each formation cannot leave the local area.
They are like nutrients in the formation, or Gu insects that need to be carried to produce effects.
If so many skeleton monsters from other places had left... wouldn't the formation they were in become invalid?
"This can only show that the Jedi in the south have really let go."
"Maybe the southernmost dynasty discovered this situation earlier than us."
"So we have to hurry up."
"As soon as this skeleton army leaves, order the army to occupy this place!"
The staff member who was marching with the army next to him added: "So, do you want to follow up on what happened in the south?"
The old Taoist priest and the governor responded in unison: "Yes! Must!"
One is because if things in the south are not investigated clearly, it will affect his current results.
If something happened to the south, it would be useless even if he occupied all the areas covered by the long snake formation.
If any powerful spirit appears in the far south, the other party can remove the head from his neck with just one breath.
Then the territory that we spent so much effort to occupy will return to the hands of others.
The second one is the old Taoist priest who always felt that the fighting in No. 567 Middle School, which had not released the seal at that time, was very strange.
He had a very ominous premonition, and he didn't know whether to talk about it or not.
"Governor, I request to fall behind these skeletons and explore further north."
"Oh?" The governor was a little surprised: "It's less than ten days, why do we have to go north again?"
"What's more, Taoist priest, you see, my soldiers are now mixed with the team and have become one with them."
The old Taoist priest's eyesight was quite useful. Looking in the direction pointed by the governor's clairvoyance, he saw that there was a group of people in the skeleton army that stood out.
Some of them have flesh, but they are covered with a funny bone.
It was the bold captain who led his team members among them and followed them secretly.
The reason why the governor didn't want to let the old Taoist priest leave was also very simple.
Although the seal was lifted, the skeleton army also moved north.
But there is no guarantee that they will encounter any wise monsters on their way south. These monsters with their own thoughts will not be easily controlled by other people or other monsters.
If they encounter such a thing and have a Taoist priest who knows magic follow them, they will always have some confidence in their hearts.
The old Taoist priest knew the governor's concerns, so he patted his young apprentice.
"Don't worry, Governor, I will keep my disciple here."
"He has learned all I can do. Once something happens, leave it to him to handle it, and there will be no problem."
This is not wrong at all. As for the tricks of the old Taoist priest, his young apprentice has already learned it.
And even if his little apprentice can't handle it, when he comes back, everything will be over.
If the governor blamed him, he would say that his apprentice was not good at learning or had too little experience against the enemy. He would always have an excuse to excuse himself.
It's better than just following along, being unable to deal with monsters and smashing the signboard.
is that so?
The governor thought for a moment, and it seemed that going north was the most dangerous thing.
Since this was the case, he nodded and agreed to the old Taoist priest's proposal.
In this way, the two parties once again divided into two teams and moved forward according to their own routes.
Now the speed of the people on both sides is different...
It also gave Mai Fan more time when he entered the thick fog.
If they were to encounter the armies of neighboring dynasties now... it would not be of any benefit to Mai Fan.
Fortunately, the seal set a threshold for entry and exit. Having entered the fourth formation, he was not in danger of being surrounded by the dynasty's army for the time being.
However, Mai Fan, who was walking in the thick fog, didn't have much sense of direction.
He just tried his best to move towards the feeling of north.
Moreover, in this thick fog, the diary lost its effectiveness for the first time. The precise radar map that Mai Fan had turned on only showed a frame here, and the inside was as gray as the thick fog.
The person who caused all this must be a very powerful person.
Just as he was thinking about it, Mai Fan's visibility suddenly increased from less than half a meter at the beginning to nearly ten meters.
