Chapter 967: I Have the Right to Know the Truth!
Fifty kilometers away.
Long Rock Canyon.
Unlike the special forces that stopped to recuperate after the battle, the Legion of Eden, the Plantagenet Dynasty, and the Visions of God have been in a frenzy.
Because of the perseverance of the Tooth and Horned Demon Monsters, the Eden Legion finally came to this deep and dark long rock canyon with no light after paying the lives of more than a dozen stragglers.
"The Guardian Knights hasten their charge and snatch the entrance to the Canyon of Long Rock!" Cardinal Nero commanded.
"We're broken!" Thomas couldn't hide his strength at the moment, he knew that if the Guardian Knights of the Legion of Eden failed to seize the entrance to the canyon, then the entire team would be surrounded in front and rear. For the time being, I don't know how the special combat team, the Dark Temple, and the Teutonic Knights under Mr. Wood will survive the difficulties, but he definitely doesn't want to be surrounded by the Stormtooth Longhorn Monster again.
The number of Stormtooth Longhorn Monsters in pursuit exceeded two thousand.
If you want to annihilate them all.
I don't know how much it will cost.
Besides, killing them all is not the same as getting out of danger, and the fangs and horned monsters of the besieging special forces behind them will catch up at any time.
With no knowledge of the inside of the Canyon, it was impossible for Thomas to let his men enter the valley, so he chose the most stable way to stay behind and join forces with the bloody Duchess Mary and the new leader of the Templar Order, Hugo.
The two have worked together on Journey to Purgatory and are both trusted rivals.
"There hasn't been any movement from Mr. Wood's side......" Bloody Mary frowned a little, didn't Mr. Wood approve of the breakout?
"Aren't they surrounded by Stormtooth Longhorn Monsters, are they?" The other leader of the Three Lions Faction, David, looked at Bloody Mary with a smile, and he curled the corners of his lips with a little schadenfreude, of course, this smile was not fully revealed, it was more of a sarcasm: "Surrounded by more than four thousand Stormtooth Horned Monsters, I don't doubt Mr. Wood's own ability, but he wants to lead the team to break through, even for him, who is rumored to be omnipotent all over the world, it seems a little too difficult!"
It was as if Bloody Mary hadn't seen David as a person.
Leave in complete disregard.
The blonde David raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders in a pretending style: "I just told the truth!"
Hugo, armed with a steel shield, smashed the head of the Stormtooth Horned Monster who tried to approach with a smashing sweep, and when he retreated to David's side, he shook his head: "David, it's not too late for you to say something when you see the corpse of the enemy!"
"Agreed!" Josiah followed with a little respite, he felt extremely drained by the repeated defeats of the Storm Tooth Horned Monster, he had just taken the genetic potion, and his potential was far from being realized, and when he fought side by side with Hugo, he felt the calmness of the other party more than once, and his own strength was inadequate.
Nevertheless.
Josiah gritted his teeth and persevered.
He knew that this kind of exercise between life and death was the best way to grow.
As long as he made it back to the surface alive, he was sure that he would make a leap of progress, just like Fawkes and Kazama had since returned from purgatory. Fawkes during the underground journey of Death Valley was not his opponent at all, and Kazama was even weaker, but when they returned from purgatory, they could be said to be unattainable when they were compared to them, and they didn't know how much they were left behind by the other party!
David laughed at Hugo and Josiah joining forces to scare him.
He didn't care.
What if Mr. Wood can break through?
To be honest, David really didn't mind seeing a broken soldier and a bloody Mr. Wood appear in front of him!
"God is with me, forward, forward, forward!" the Guardian Knights, shouting trumpets, lined up in an unstoppable wall of steel, rumbling into the canyon entrance. The cardinals followed, as well as other expeditions such as the Salesians, ascetics, hermitages, the Congregation of the Sisters, the Congregation of the Holy Order, and many others. In addition to the symbolic few men who were sent by the ascetics and the hermit to stay with Lin Dong to escort the battle, the large army still followed the Eden Legion, and they remained at the mouth of the valley without complaint, carrying huge stones to build a stone wall, preparing to resist the enemy.
"Those whose combat strength is lower than ten points are led by their respective captains, and all of them enter the valley, and those who are higher than ten points are left behind to defend against the enemy!" Thomas now evaluates the combat strength of his subordinates, and also adopts the set of standards set by Lin Dong, and the evaluation system that could not keep up with the times in the past has been completely abandoned.
But they don't have a way to take a measuring bracelet and measure it for everyone.
Comparisons can only be made using composite values.
The measured value of a small person.
as standard.
This will then be used to comprehensively promote the comprehensive evaluation of all groups of combatants in the Lighthouse State.
In Josiah's eyes, the overall combat power of the Beacon Nation combatants was a little inflated, and Mr. Wood's measurement bracelet did ignore many things, but the measurements were more rigorous and accurate.
"It's far from time to rest! What about your discipline? How can you put down your weapons without orders from your superiors?" Josiah found that the expedition members who had rushed into the Canyon of Long Rock were looking for a place to rest, and he immediately roared at them, regardless of whether these people were his subordinates or not, "Don't be like a fool here, don't you have hands? Move stones! If the Stormtooth Horned Demon Brigade attacked, any of you could be torn to pieces by them!" Half of your men are guarding the perimeter, and half of you are moving stones to form a second line of defense! Half an hour later, you will rotate again, I don't know if you are mentally prepared or not, but I want to tell you that if you think you are safe here, you are very wrong!"
"Let's do it now!" replied one of the expedition members belonging to the Eye of God, fearing that the murderous 'governor' would be angry and take his own head.
"Hurry up!" Josiah waved his hand, "Don't forget, there are more than 4,000 fanged horned monsters surrounding Mr. Wood!"
"Yes!" the expedition team members listened, and were afraid for a while.
If Mr. Wood breaks through, he will be followed by a large group of monsters.
If they were allowed to break through the first line of defense, the expedition team that did not build a second line of defense would surely suffer heavy casualties.
Hugo saw the fanged longhorned monsters closely following the expedition team continue to disperse and extend the formation, his expression was solemn, and he suddenly realized that these fanged longhorned monsters may have consciously let everyone break through.
Hard words.
Both sides are bound to suffer heavy casualties, and the winner is also a crushing victory.
However, if you let some of the enemy break through, and then constantly harass along the way, so that the enemy can never concentrate on resisting, this is undoubtedly a good strategy!
Perhaps the Tooth Horned Monsters don't know what is called a tired enemy tactic, and they don't know what a harassment tactic is, but they are born to use it, and their genes forged their instinct, which is how to hunt enemies more efficiently and obtain food.
The mouth of the valley in the long rock canyon is relatively narrow, less than forty meters.
But even this distance.
If you want to build a line of defense, it is also a massive project.
What's more, the Tooth Horned Monsters will never let this line of defense stand up easily, and they will all use various methods to harass and storm the line.
"Is there any movement over there, Mr. Wood?" John the Wise with the Silver Spoon walked up to Bird's side and asked Bird, who had been observing the rear, "When we broke through about five kilometers or so, I faintly heard them fighting. It's been almost three hours now, and they should have ended the battle long ago!
"Possibly!" Bird nodded, "But I don't think he can't break through!"
"Mr. Bird, that's more than 4,000 fanged horned monsters, not 4,000 pigs, even if it's 4,000 pigs, Mr. Wood can't kill them all at once!" David disagreed, if he could really break through, he would have caught up long ago, how could he wait until now and be silent!
"David, you're right!" Bird smiled slightly, unmoved by David's provocative words, but humbly and politely: "I personally agree with you, the gathering of four thousand fanged and horned monsters is a terrifying force, and their numbers can often cause qualitative change. It's just that Mr. Wood is a person, he rarely does things that he is not sure of, and this cannot be ignored!"
"Haha, then let's wait patiently!" David laughed, I'm afraid you can't wait for that legendary young man.
"It's raining!" said John the Wise with a silver spoon, and a drop of rain fell on his palm.
"......" Bird's expression was slightly gloomy, and he was not happy.
"This rain is a little late, but I think since it's raining, they should be able to break through safely!" David secretly scolded shit luck, if it doesn't rain, the rain-fearing fangs and horned monsters will continue to surround the Special Combat Team, the Dark Temple, and the Eastern European Grand Alliance, and now that it's raining, they may be able to use the rain to get out of danger.
"When it rains here, it doesn't mean it rains 50 kilometers away. Bird shook his head: "Rain, it may be annoying to the fangs and horned monsters who don't like rain, but it's not a good thing for us either! Rain will block our vision, affect our hearing, and most importantly, some rain-loving creatures may hear the news! In Death Canyon, we have had a very painful experience, and our experimenters can be said to let a sudden rain defeat!"
"As long as it rains to make the Stormtooth Horned Monsters put away their arrogance, I don't think it's a bad thing!" David found that the Stormtooth Horned Monsters in the rain were shaking their bodies very unhappily, and some of them simply hid under the rock wall and huddled with each other, only a few still insisted on being forced to the valley mouth and refused to give up easily.
"There's something in the sky!" Bloody Mary slid down from the top of the high rock wall, and she looked at the silverspoon John the Wise, "What's that?"
"What?" said the Silver Spoon Wise Men were stunned.
"You don't know?" said Bloody Mary, skeptical of the other party's reaction.
"Mary, I don't know, there are so many monsters in the sky that we can't tell them all! What did you just see?" asked John the Wise the Silverspoon.
"There are some black shadows that can fly, and I can't see their specific shapes, a bit like eagles, and a little like other creatures, but they are very large, not ordinary flying eagles or birds. I wonder if there are things in the sky that follow us, and it wasn't until it rained that we realized that they had been hiding behind us, what do these things have to do with the fangs and horned monsters?symbiosis?master-servant relationships?I don't think they're passing by, and I don't think they're harmless!I think they're intelligent creatures, and they're very good at disguise!, Lord John, I want you to tell us what you know, we're teammates now, and in a crisis, I have the right to know the truth!" Bloody Mary asked John the Wise the Silverspoon.
"I'd love to give you an answer, but I can't tell you what the truth is!" John the Wise sighed, "I know a lot, if you want, I can accompany you to see Archbishop Nero, or anyone else who knows something!"
"No, since you don't know the truth, then I'll find the answer myself!" Bloody Mary gave John the Wise a cold look.
She turned into an illusion.
Disappear.
On the other side of the stone wall, Hugo looked at the soles of his feet with a little shock......
