After walking for half an hour, the sun was shining brightly.
"Ouch!"
Just as the escort team headed by Zhuang Monk and Resurrection Corpse gradually deviated from the official road and moved away from the inn, a sudden wolf howl came from the forest not far away.
The next second, a group of wolves that were seriously oversized in size and scale slowly walked out of the forest.
"Ouch!"
Under the guard of the group of evil wolves, a grinning and drooling wolf king howled in a low voice, exuding an astonishingly ferocious aura from the inside out.
"Be careful! Those are no ordinary beasts!"
In the flash of lightning, Monk Zhuang had already put down the Zen staff on his shoulder, and shouted to the escort officers behind him with a serious look on his face.
Clang!
These hundred and ten escort officers were obviously veterans who had experienced many battles. Without any hesitation, they simultaneously pulled out the swords on their waists.
Then we saw these veterans forming a battle formation in groups of three to five, surrounding the carriages that needed to be escorted, not leaving any gaps open.
The most important thing is that these veterans remained silent throughout the whole process and did not make any unnecessary noise.
It is obvious that these are not only a group of veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles, but also a group of veterans who have received rigorous training.
"Great monk, I believe what you said now..."
"What we are escorting is definitely not an ordinary plaque."
The resurrected corpse calmly took a few steps back, took off the long bow from behind and whispered softly.
Although he had seen how terrifying these escorting veterans were before this, when they actually drew their swords and put themselves on alert, the resurrected corpse realized that he had underestimated them after all.
The resurrected corpse felt that these veterans might not have practiced any magic, but the murderous aura in their blood was enough to kill ordinary monsters.
Even monsters like himself and Monk Zhuang would definitely be in danger once they were dragged into the battle.
But just when the resurrected corpse was shocked by the ferocity of these veterans, something even more unexpected happened to him.
"Everyone! Load the crossbows!"
With a loud shout, almost one-third of the veterans opened the package they had been carrying, and skillfully took out the crossbow and loaded it.
Seriously! Seriously! Seriously!
In an instant, sharp arrows were shot towards the wolves.
They never expected that the humans not far away were so "despicable", and the wolf pack was reduced by one-fifth almost in the blink of an eye.
However, this was not the end, because after shooting all the crossbows in their hands at once, another third of the veterans took out their crossbows and continued to fire arrows at the wolves.
Seriously! Seriously! Seriously!
So, a very funny scene took place at this moment.
The previously aggressive wolves, apart from being domineering when they first appeared, spent the rest of the time in embarrassment dodging the veterans' continuous fire attacks.
Monk Zhuang and the resurrected corpse, who were walking at the front of the team and were ready for close combat, kept their expressions of astonishment and stared at the performance of the veterans in amazement.
One-third of the veterans guarded with knives, one-third held crossbows and fired continuously, and the remaining one-third were responsible for loading ammunition...
From an outsider's perspective, apart from being caught off guard at the beginning, the continuous rain of arrows almost never stopped for the rest of the time.
Such an astonishing scene fully demonstrates what crushing firepower is and what continuous output is.
After only three or four rounds of continuous shooting, there were only a few wolves left on the stage, and only the sound of veterans loading crossbows still echoed in the audience.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
"This thing... is much more powerful than a bow and arrow..."
Staring blankly at the veterans who were killing everyone, the resurrected corpse was silent for a long time, and then said with a look of amazement.
"Is this a repeating crossbow? No wonder it can become a major killer weapon in the army!"
It's not that the resurrected zombies have never heard of the existence of crossbows, but just like the heavy weapons in previous lives, crossbows are legendary things in the eyes of ordinary people in this era.
The shooting speed far exceeds that of normal bows and arrows, the convenient and quick reloading and firing, and the force that can almost penetrate the wolf's body...
It can be said that except for the range and accuracy that are temporarily inferior to the longbow, the repeating crossbows held by these veterans almost perfectly crushed the bows and arrows.
But for a repeating crossbow with fire coverage and continuous output, do we really need to consider range and accuracy?
The resurrected corpse looked at the group of wolves in that area with serious doubts.
Within fifty steps, as long as the arrows of the repeating crossbow are not used up, there is no need to consider the possibility of close combat.
"They are definitely the elite soldiers of Shence Camp..."
After the same brief silence, Monk Zhuang said decisively.
The quality of a veteran of hundreds of battles can still be achieved through training, but the big killer weapon in the army, the crossbow, is clearly something that only elite soldiers on active duty can possess.
What does it mean to have one hundred well-trained and fully equipped Shence Battalion soldiers?
No one knows this better than Monk Zhuang.
As long as supplies are sufficient, these 100 veterans are enough to massacre a small country in the Western Region.
Even a transformed monster like himself would probably have no choice but to flee in confusion when faced with the siege of this group of veterans.
Perhaps only those "natural disaster" level monsters can fight against these hundred or ten veterans.
"Shence camp?"
Keenly perceiving the key words in Monk Zhuang's words, the resurrected corpse glanced at Monk Zhuang in surprise.
From Monk Zhuang's tone, the resurrected corpse seemed to hear some different meanings.
The Shence Camp is different from other parts of the vassal vassal. It is the main force of the Central Beiya Imperial Guards.
It is said that this army was originally a border guard army in the northwest. After entering the capital, it became the most important forbidden army of the Tang Dynasty.
In this era, Shence Camp has become a major military pillar of the entire Central Dynasty, but it has been controlled by the eunuch group all year round.
The death of the former Tanzhou Sichen Envoy was finally settled because it was related to the Shence Camp.
"It took a long time, but it turned out that we were just responsible for leading the way?"
After realizing the true strength of these veterans, the resurrected zombies quickly repositioned themselves.
He and Monk Zhuang are not the escorts responsible for protecting the "plaque". The elite soldiers behind him who are fully armed are the real escorts.
As for the two of you?
At best, he is just a guide.
At most, one more task can be added to contact nearby inns and government officials.
"The wolves have been wiped out, let's continue on the road!"
After confirming that there was no danger nearby, the veteran officers no longer hid themselves and came to Monk Zhuang and the resurrected corpse and said.
"There must be a lot of snoops along the way. We must hurry up."
