The Hydra didn't come

Although everyone had made sufficient preparations the night before, and even all the members of the camp had the belief that the nine-headed snake had broken the boat, the nine-headed monster snake did not appear on the second day, and even on the third or fourth day, there was not even a trace of the hydra.

"It's not a way to go on like this" Viscount Eric looked at the sky that began to rain, and sighed gloomily: "Don't say sunny days in the storm season, cloudy days are rare, this time is a good time for us to build a camp, but this hydra ...... Alas. ”

Since learning that the logging team was attacked by the Hydra and almost all of them were wiped out, the camp can be said to be panicked, and they are all worried that they will encounter the Hydra when they go out to work. But even if they wanted to, Viscount Eric didn't dare to risk them, after all, there were too few people, and every unexpected sacrifice was a great loss.

"The rain is getting heavier, Lord Viscount" Captain Knox said after Eric, "and it tends to become more intense, and it is estimated that there will be a rainstorm tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

"Lord Viscount, I think we should organize some people to exploit resources" Bourcho, who was in charge of housekeeping, said worriedly: "The materials for the construction of our camp are not enough, and once the rainstorm comes, it is estimated that it will last for a long time. If you don't mine now, when it rains, not only will it be inconvenient to mine, but the noisy rain and splashing rain and fog will also make the monster's actions more hidden, and there may be greater losses. ”

"You say the hydra must have gone to digest food," Viscount Eric asked in a low voice, revealing a hint of frustration.

"The bodies of the nine members of the logging team have not been found, but the bodies of the others are still there," Bourcho replied, "Even if it is a twenty-meter-long python, nine people are too exaggerated, and it should not come again in the near future." ”

"Again, Lord Viscount. We're ready, even if it's sacrificed, and if this monster reappears, we'll be sure to deal with it once and for all. It's not a problem to be so consumed now, other people's fighting spirit is declining, and you can't let people who don't have fighting spirit go up and fight hard. ”

"Yes, it's harder to wander around the near death than to charge towards death," Eric smiled wryly, "I used to be able to block a fatal blow for the king, but if I continue to spend it like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to draw my sword and fight hard."

"So be it, Bourcho, you go and arrange the gathering team to collect as many materials as you can. Knox, you and I are patrolling the logging area with our combat team, we can't sit idly by!"

"Yes, my lord!"

It was almost noon, the rain had subsided slightly, and two logging teams and two hunting teams of nearly fifty people headed out into the jungle to gather resources.

A few days of fear wore down everyone's fighting spirit, but everyone still prepared their own weapons. No one really wants to die, but no one wants to hover between life and death, life is better than death, if so, it is better to take advantage of the fact that they are still a little bloody, and fight fiercely.

Everyone was working in full swing, and all the depression was vented on the trees in front of them or the animals that were overwhelmed in the drizzle, and the panic in their hearts was a little less.

Viscount Eric and Captain Knox led the battle team to patrol the logging area, but there were no accidents, and there was no trace of the Hydra, as if the Hydra was really eating and staying in the nest to digest. This should have been a good thing, but thinking of the corpse in the belly of the hydra snake can't be mentioned at all.

But just when Eric and his party thought that they were safe today, they could breathe a sigh of relief, and a change had happened.

The workers who went to deliver the logs were desperately running towards Viscount Eric's position, shouting words like "camp" and "hydra", and they were running too fast to say a complete word.

"What the hell is going on?" Viscount Eric asked at the worker, his whole body trembling slightly, "Tell me clearly!"

"Hydra...... At...... The camp ......" The worker was asked like this, but he was also pleasing to his heart, and he was stunned to make up a complete sentence intermittently.

The words are understood, but those who understand this sentence feel a chill down their spines inexplicably. Not only did they find that the camp had been hit, but they also had a deep concern about the monster's intelligence

"Quick, let's go back quickly" Viscount Eric even spoke with a slight trill, "The camp can't be ruined." Not only the combat team, but also the logging team and the logging team also put down their movements and hurried towards the camp with Viscount Eric.

In the camp,

The massive Hydra is wreaking havoc.

Shortly after Viscount Eric led the people away, it rushed out of the river, and the eight worms on its back were like eight tentacles, and in an instant, it tore the two people guarding the river bank into several pieces, and blood spilled all over the ground.

The Hydra didn't pay attention to the two corpses, and rushed straight into the camp and began to destroy, what tents, what wooden house towers, in front of its twenty meters or so two people hugged the body, it was like sand, destroying everything in the camp. Including those stationed in the camp.

By the time Viscount Eric rushed back to the camp, the small camp had become like an Asura field, full of severed limbs and blood, and even the rain on the ground was dyed bright red.

The sudden attack, the completely crushing combat effectiveness, and the remaining personnel in the camp had already killed and wounded most of them before they could effectively organize a team, and the counterattack was even more nonsense.

Looking at this scene, Viscount Eric was stunned, maybe human life was not worth much in the empire, but in this barren land, this group of people was the foundation of his life, and now he has indeed suffered such a heavy loss.

"Bourcho, take a few people who can use artillery, go to the camp and find the artillery, and wait for an opportunity to attack. Viscount Eric did not hide the anger and hatred in his eyes: "Knox, you and a few people with good skills follow me to attract the attention of this monster, and be sure to buy time for Bourcho to move the cannon." ”

"Yes, Lord Viscount. Knox and Bourgeois replied in unison.

"If there are any good skills among you, please stand up, if you don't stand up now, you will only be reduced to food and toys for monsters. Viscount Eric said again to the dozens of people behind him: "If you have poor skills, don't stand up with the so-called blood, there is nothing to be proud of in vain, and you should feel even more guilty for distracting others." Now, if any of you think you can, stand up. ”

When these words were spoken, a group of people behind Eric fell into a brief silence, most of them were farmers or wanderers, and they all hesitated to see this tragic scene, only Eric's three personal guard knights took the first place.

There was a short moment of silence, and there was a fierce struggle in everyone's hearts.

Seeing someone stand up, Viscount Eric's heart was filled with disappointment: "No? Okay, you ...... with me."

"Wait a minute," Alex slowly stood out of the crowd with a hint of a smile, "Count me in, my lord, I think I'm okay." ”

"Okay, count you in" Viscount Eric's face was a little better, and he smiled at Alez: "Boy, it's good." ”

With Arezi at the beginning, two more people stepped forward, that is, Rice, a hunter from the southern mountains, and Custer, a mercenary from the eastern seaboard.

"Let's go, then," Viscount Eric beckoned to the crowd as he charged towards the Hydra.

"For life and freedom!"
