Chapter 239: Pursuit
When the raging fire was burning in the mountains, Chu Danchen quietly came to Zhang Han's side, glanced at Zhang Han coldly, and said, "Why did your detachment insert itself in front of our pioneer battalion? Don't you know that it is a violation of military discipline?"
"Military discipline?" Zhang Han was sitting on a stone beam chewing wild fruits, and smiled mischievously, "Great Commander, you really treat us as an army? We're just demon heroes, aren't we? And it's raining." ”
Chu Danchen sneered: "Do you think your mind can be hidden from me? You just want to fight for merit! If you don't listen to the command or the dispatch, if something goes wrong, can you afford it? Do you really think that the marrow eater is easy to deal with?"
Zhang Han didn't expect Chu Danchen to look at himself like this, he couldn't help but have a little headache, shrugged his shoulders and grinned: "I don't think they are easy to deal with, I've seen something more powerful than them, maybe I can meet them next time, if the commander thinks that I have violated military discipline, he can punish me to the vanguard battalion to do chores, and I can serve under the command of the commander, and I can't ask for it." ”
Chu Danchen turned his back and was silent for a while, "Don't you want to make meritorious service at all? ”
Zhang Han pouted and said: "If killing such a group of monsters who have no ability to fight back can also be regarded as meritorious service, then it doesn't matter if you want it or not, the good intentions of the Great Commander are in your heart." ”
Chu Danchen turned around and slowly glanced at Zhang Han again, and said coldly: "I can't see that your heart is still so high, it's not simple, this commander came here to inform you on behalf of the battalion, you attacked without authorization, and the merits and demerits were offset, and the next time you do it again, you don't want to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the remaining marrow eaters." ”
After saying that, she snorted coldly, turned around and disappeared into the night firelight.
What kind of crime is this? Zhang Han smiled bitterly in his heart. If it weren't for worrying about your safety, Lao Tzu wouldn't have bothered to cross the rights.
The first battle of Qilian Mountain's monster suppression ended without any suspense: beheading three thousand levels, destroying the breeding dens of two myeloid eaters, and five thousand royal forest demon heroes were not killed or injured.
Sima Heng seemed to be quite satisfied with this kind of record, and when he inspected the teams, a rare smile appeared on the black tip face.
Because he left the team without permission, the team led by Zhang Han had no merit and no reward, and Shi Dazhu was so angry that he scolded for a long time. Zhang Han didn't care at all, anyway, Zhang Han didn't care about any rewards from the Ten Directions Demon Alliance, but he felt a little sorry for Shi Dapestle and them, which caused them to be busy in vain.
After the first battle, the traces of the myeloid eater seemed to be exposed all at once. Before, it was difficult for five thousand demons and people to find a single hair of them in the reckless mountains, but then the situation was completely reversed, and for several days, it was almost impossible for every team of royal forest demons not to encounter these black-body monsters with a furry tail.
They no longer seem to be hiding, and they no longer care about anything, every time the large army advances five to ten miles, they will encounter the crazy resistance of the myeloid eaters, and almost all the myeloid eaters in each den are pouring out, and they are not fatal to send them to death on the killer weapons of the royal forest demon heroes, day and night, at most thousands, as few as hundreds, sometimes even only tens, and dare to take advantage of the night to attack our camp.
There are also more and more traps and ecstasy formations, and although they don't have any powerful methods, they have a lot of impact on the overall progress of the large army. And the most terrible thing is that the frequent attacks of the marrow eaters have made the entire army almost free to repair with peace of mind, and it is difficult to even sleep peacefully.
After three or four days, when all the Demon Heroes of the Royal Forest felt exhausted and overwhelmed, the monsters suddenly realized: this is the strategy of the marrow eaters, constantly attacking, constantly harassing, so that everyone can not be repaired, not replenished, so as to consume the demon power of the demon heroes, and finally drag down the entire demon elimination team.
Therefore, Sima Heng, the head of the camp, convened the captains to discuss, and finally adjusted the deployment again, dividing the major teams into two armies, the front and rear, and advancing alternately, when the front army advances, the rear army rests, and when the rear army advances, the front army rests, so as to avoid the labor of the army.
The only thing that comforts everyone is that the demon power of the myeloid eaters is not strong, and the combat exploits of each royal forest demon are also calculated according to the number of myeloid eaters killed, just like cutting leeks, although everyone feels tired, but they have also killed a lot of marrow eaters in continuous combat, and the credit is naturally considerable, so everyone's morale is still high and happy.
But Zhang Han still vaguely felt in his heart that the purpose of the marrow eaters was not so simple, they might have greater actions, and as for what the actions were, he didn't dare to make inferences.
After several days of fighting, the large army quickly advanced to the central mountainous area of Qilian Mountain, which is the most rugged and extensive area of the Qilian Mountain Range, with high mountains and deep streams, long grass and lush forests, ridges and stones, and miasma, and it is also the place where the marrow eaters haunt the most. The battle line is getting longer and longer, and the distance between the teams is getting bigger and bigger, and some of the two adjacent teams have even exceeded the distance of ten miles.
Frequent engagements, but also let the position of many teams completely messed up, all the Royal Forest Demon Demon Warrior team is improvised patchwork, not a well-trained combination of troops at all, some brigades are even chaotic, the detachment does not know where the brigade went, and the brigade can not find any trace of the detachment, fortunately, there are no casualties, everyone has to get by.
Anyway, it's just to kill a group of monsters who have no resistance, just keep raising and falling with knives, too strict military discipline, but it's tied up, and it's not easy to carry out.
It was not yet dawn that day, and the patrol demon warriors of the clan first noticed the enemy's situation: a small group of myeloid eaters swept around Zhang Han's camp, but instead of launching a lifeless attack on them, they hurriedly turned to the jungle in the northeast and fled.
The tiger head demon general felt that the situation was different, so he took advantage of the thin night fog to lead Zhang Han and more than a hundred royal forest demon heroes to chase along the dense bushes. It was a group of myeloid eaters who seemed to have panicked, numbering about fifty or so, and several of them had short tails with large bellies, like pregnant females.
It was easy to catch up with them, as the group of myeloid eaters didn't fly very fast, and a Class B Tiger Demon Warrior's Wind Resisting Technique could easily catch up with them.
But the Tiger Demon General seemed to mean something, and made a gesture to ask them not to get too close.
The demon heroes were puzzled, and the tiger head demon lowered his voice and said decisively, cutting the grass will be eradicated, and maybe they can find their cub nests, which is a great achievement. So many of the Royal Forest Demon Heroes thought about it in their hearts, so they followed him and chased him unhurriedly, without even informing the neighbors on the flanks.
In fact, this kind of merit-grabbing behavior was quietly launched in various teams as early as a few days ago, but everyone tacitly understood that Sima Heng's joint defense promotion strategy had long been in vain.
Zhang Han was a little hesitant about the tiger head demon general's rashness, but he didn't say much. Because the power of the myeloid eaters encountered in the past few days is so weak that everyone can easily ignore their counterattack.
Dozens of myeloid eaters flew and jumped through the dense bushes of the high mountains and forests, and several big-bellied myeloid eaters were panting, seemingly unaware that a large group of youkai humans were quietly following them behind them.
Silently tracking the time of an incense plant, in a rocky hill lined with stones, dozens of flying marrow eaters suddenly stopped, looked around for a while, and then lowered their heads into a thorny low-lying area, where there seemed to be a hidden place.
After half a tea time, the tiger head demon will lead Zhang Han and them to sneak in, and what is presented in front of everyone is a low-lying hidden cave, if they don't follow all the way, it is really not easy to find this cave.
The strange behavior of the marrow eater and the hidden hole in front of him made the tiger demon general believe that there must be a lot of articles inside. He turned back and made a silent gesture, then took the lead in diving into the cavern.
The cave is full of moss mushrooms, damp and dark, and the terrain slopes downward, as if leading to a deep underground palace. After about half a column of incense, we finally passed through the long, dim cavern, and what appeared before our eyes was a different sight.
It is an open sinkhole, hundreds of feet deep, surrounded by dangerous peaks on all sides, the ground is low and covered by layers of thick primeval grass, the vines overhead cover the sky and the sun, and the clouds of blue fog are filled with clouds, and it seems that even the light cannot shine in.
Such a strange sinkhole can only be found in a rugged and hideous primeval mountain range like Qilian Mountain.
At first glance, there was no trace of the marrow eaters in the sinkhole, and it seemed that they had escaped and hidden in some hidden corner and disappeared.
Of course, the tiger head demon general would not be reconciled, waved his hand and made a fan-shaped movement, and shouted: "Search!"
So a hundred Royal Forest Demon Warriors carefully stepped into the sinkhole with weapons in hand, and slowly searched through the thick grass quilt.
Soon, the "Realm" of the Royal Forest Demon Hero locked the core area in the center of the sinkhole.
