Chapter 53: Patrol Yaksha
It was another late night, perhaps because the Kraken, like humans, also disliked the night, and the two sides seemed to have reached a tacit understanding and stopped fighting at the same time. The Kraken retreated to the shallows, while the humans camped not far away.
"Lao Miao, if you are so careless, I will apply to the captain to let you withdraw from this battle. A young officer reprimanded a veteran who was smoking.
"Okay, I know, my team leader, isn't it just a cigarette. The middle-aged mage named Lao Miao said impatiently.
"The light of the fire may reveal our location, this is the battlefield, any negligence will be filled at the cost of life, I am your squad leader, I am responsible for your life. The young officer said sternly.
After speaking, the young officer returned to the makeshift camp.
This is a scout team, and there are no less than dozens of scout teams like this in the 10,000-strong military mage group, and they act as the eyes and ears of the military mage group during the war.
"Captain Lu, Lao Miao has made you angry again. ”
"Don't mention it, I really don't know what's going on with Lao Miao, he is sloppy all day long, and he doesn't care about what he does, what if something happens on the battlefield. The young officer was still a little angry, although he was young, and many old military mages were not convinced of him, but on the surface, he was the only one who had this attitude towards him.
"Captain Lu, don't be angry, in fact, Lao Miao is not targeting you, he was not like this before. ”
"It wasn't like that before, it's been like this since I was the captain of this team? ”
"Captain Lu, don't get me wrong, in fact, Lao Miao is really not targeting you, Lao Miao is actually very bitter, in the last battle of the peninsula, all his family members died on the peninsula, including his three-year-old child, Lao Miao is middle-aged and likes his child very much. Every time he came back from a mission, he showed us how smart his son was, but unfortunately he died at the hands of the Kraken. ”
"That's why? Isn't that supposed to hate the Kraken? Why is it that now I have an attitude of not being able to live. ”
"Captain, in fact, there is still an inside story," the military mage said mysteriously, "It is said that the interpreter of the estuary area where Lao Miao was originally located used a living person as bait to lure away the kraken in the last battle of the peninsula, and then escaped, and Lao Miao's family was also among them. ”
"What?
"Shhh, Captain, be quiet, low-level military mages like us can't afford to offend that group of high-ranking councilors, be careful of getting into trouble. It's a pity that Lao Miao was once the best scout mage. Because of this, it has become the way it is. The military mage sighed.
"Hey, everybody has a story. ”
The night was quiet, and no one paid attention to the danger that was quietly approaching in the night.
Dozens of ugly monsters threw their tridents at the human camp. One by one, the tridents fell on the camp in an instant, like arrows from the string, and kicked up a cloud of smoke and dust.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The camp was in chaos, and many lives were lost to the first round of attacks by the ugly monster.
"What a situation. ”
"Captain, the situation is unknown, the patrol mage has not heard from it yet, and it is not known what creature attacked. ”
"Assemble, joint defense circle, advance slowly in front of the left. Find out what kind of creature it is!"
The panic didn't last long, the scout team had already assembled, and the joint defense circle was activated, allowing the whole team to calm down a little.
"What about Lao Miao?" just learned about Lao Miao's past, the young officer was full of sympathy for Lao Miao, and Lao Miao was not found among the assembled military mages, and the young officer didn't want Lao Miao to die on the battlefield in such an unknown way.
"I don't know, Lao Miao has not returned to the camp. ”
The young officer breathed a sigh of relief, although it was a violation of military law that did not return to the camp at night, as long as he did not die.
Not long after the joint defense array was completed, the second round of offensive had already appeared, and dozens of water arrows suddenly appeared. That kind of attack power is even stronger than the impact of the mid-level magic storm.
Fortunately, the joint defense circle is extremely strong, although the consumption of magic energy is a little fast, but in the face of such an attack that does not know where it comes from, it can only be resisted in this way.
"Damn, what the hell is it, we have to maintain a joint defense circle with such an attack intensity, and the magic energy is consumed too quickly. "One military mage is running out of magical energy, and it has been replaced by other military mages. But a squad like them will definitely not last long, and it will last a quarter of an hour at most.
"Captain, we have to send someone to investigate, whether we live or not, we must send the information back to investigate. ”
As he spoke, the third round of attacks had arrived, and it was still a water arrow.
The joint defense circle was almost maintained to the limit, blocking the second round of water arrows, but if there was another round, it would definitely not be able to block.
"Captain, the magic energy is consumed too quickly, and the defensive circle can't support it anymore, so withdraw it. ”
"No, as a scout team, we haven't even seen the enemy's face, how can we retreat. Even if it's dead, find out what kind of creature it is. ”
"Captain, if we don't withdraw, we will be wiped out!"
"Leave, I'll see what the hell it is. The young officer shouted.
"No need to go, I'm already done. ”
I don't know when, Lao Miao reappeared in the team.
"Lao Miao, what are you doing. ”
"There's no time to say more, retreat quickly, more than a group of patrol yakshas, the strength is at the level of the big general, good at long-range attacks, can use water arrow demon arts, and the strength of melee is ominous. Lao Miao quickly told the news he had discovered.
"Okay, retreat!"
A group of Krakens is not something that their scout team can resist, and now that they have learned the information about this creature, the most important thing is to bring the news back.
"Not good, there are such creatures in the rear as well. "I had just retreated a short distance before I found that my rear was also cut off. It turned out that this scout team had long been surrounded, and it had become the meat of the Kraken's chopping board.
"Rush!" Lao Miao took the lead, instantly completing a fiery red magic constellation. I thought that only Captain Lu was a high-level person in the team, but I didn't expect that Lao Miao's fire system had already broken through.
"Skyflame Funeral!"
In the battlefield, there can be no hesitation, as an excellent scout mage, he has his own judgment on the battlefield, and now the team is surrounded by the Kraken, and the only chance is to tear a hole from the encirclement. There is no second way.
"Wind plate, Tianluo!"
Among the squad, the wind mages were the majority, and more than a dozen people jointly cast the wind disc and rolled towards the patrol Yaksha who blocked the way.
The Patrol Yaksha is huge, and the limbs are extremely strong, and under the double baptism of the Wind Disc and the Sky Flame Funeral and the Wind Disk, he did not suffer much damage, which shows the strength of the defense.
"What to do!"
Such an attack could no longer tear a hole in the encirclement of the Yaksha.
"What else can I do, fight with this group of brutes, kill one without loss, kill two and make a steady profit. A military mage said with great shame.
"Fight, captain, you are a high-level wind system, you have a chance to go out, you must bring back the information of the kraken, we will open the way for you!"
Fighting to the death, no one flinched, since they can't live, then death must be heroic.
Suddenly, Lao Miao rushed towards the blocking group of patrol yakshas.
"What are you doing, old Miao!" shouted the youth captain.
"Captain, I only detected the opponent's attack just now, now I'll try their defense. Remember to bring the news out!" Lao Miao's words were very calm, but there was a will to die in that calm.
Although Lao Miao's figure was swallowed up, there was a bright light in the group of Yaksha patrolling the sea. The light of the fire slowly amplified, like the last splendor of life, and suddenly burst into brilliant colors.
With your own fire, ignite the magic galaxy!
Everyone was shocked, no one would have thought that Lao Miao would actually ignite his own magic galaxy, this is no longer a mortal fire, it is the flame of life, and it is the last brilliance in Lao Miao's life.
"In the Peninsula Campaign, I can't protect my family, children, but I can protect my partner now. Please live well with my life!"
The last murmur of life, Lao Miao was extremely calm, but in this calm, the patrol Yaksha died one after another.
"Old Miao!"
There were a few imperceptible teardrops hanging from the corners of the young officer's eyes, which were instantly evaporated by the temperature in the air, as if Lao Miao had personally wiped them away for the young officer.
"Let's go, let's go, don't let Lao Miao down, this is the hope that Lao Miao brings to us. Don't let Lao Miao down!" roared the young officer.
Stepping on the road of life opened up by Lao Miao himself, the team successfully broke through the encirclement. The crowd looked back and watched as the fire was extinguished.
"Lao Miao, go all the way!"
