The Gabe Mountains, which were the main passes connecting the eastern and western regions of the southern region of the Saint-Franc Empire. From the main town of Kokole in the east, all the towns to the west need to pass through this mountain road.

Fortunately, the Gabe Mountains are flat and there are no mountain-like sections, so you only need to slow down, and there is basically nothing to pay attention to.

At this time, an army was coming from the east. The first was a tall man with a heavy sword, dressed in golden-colored armor that shone brightly in the sunlight. There is a carving of an elephant's head on each side of the shoulder armor, which looks lifelike.

The mount under the man was a sturdy lion, with a faint cyan glow flowing on its dark brown fur, and a flickering light in its turquoise eyes, which looked particularly powerful.

Beside the man sat a quiet girl on a war horse, her long blond hair scattered behind her head. A dark green robe was embroidered with copper-colored silk threads, and although the clothes were not gorgeous, they looked particularly dusty on the girl.

"Phew!"

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of the army, galloping all the way, and suddenly stopped in front of the army, and then the whole person jumped off the horse, came to the man riding a lion, and knelt down on one knee, "Report, report to the general, there is a line of cliffs ahead, and it has been explored with a letter owl, and there is no ambush on both sides." ”

The man on the lion waved his hand to signal the man to return to the group, then looked at the girl beside him and asked, "Miss Liya, is the friend you mentioned reliable? What kind of paperwork do you have for this trip to Fort County with a heavy army? If nothing happens in the end, then we will be in big trouble this time." ”

The girl on horseback was none other than Lia, who had gone to the east of Kokole County overnight to bring rescue troops. Although she didn't see the so-called monster army with her own eyes, she believed in Ron, the man who repeatedly performed miracles.

"Uncle Paul, the enemy is now, what more paperwork do you want, this has already driven more than 200 miles, you only now remember to ask me for paperwork? Could it be that I said no, you led the army back? Not to mention that my father has already gone to Fort County to participate in the auction, we can be stationed outside the city, if nothing really happens, then it is better, we can also get out of the city. Liya still has the appearance of a delicate girl at this moment, and the tone of her voice seems to have returned to the arrogance of Ron when they first met.

"This ......" The man named Paul was speechless for a moment, and did not know how to answer, but finally sighed and ordered the army to move on.

Soon, the army reached the precipice. It's a faulty cliff, flanked on either side by steep peaks that only the birds can climb. Although it is called a first-line cliff, the road at the bottom of the cliff is still very wide, enough for the entire army to pass easily.

Paul looked around, but he didn't notice anything unusual, but there was a sense of foreboding in his heart, and the male lion beneath him was also baring his teeth and letting out a low roar. "Pass my order, the whole army will quickly pass through the first-line cliff, no stop on the way, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"

After speaking, a herald conveyed the order to the rear army, and Paul clamped his legs, and the lion rushed out first with a roar, and Lia also waved the horsewhip and rode the horse to follow, sassy and heroic, not losing the eyebrows.

The first line of cliffs is not long, about a dozen miles before and after, and if the army advances at full speed, it will only take about a quarter of an hour for the whole army to pass.

Soon, Paul could see the light in the distance, which was the exit of the cliff. I was also relieved, obviously, there was no danger here.

It was only when he put his mind at ease, and suddenly a strong sense of crisis suddenly hit his whole body, making his whole body tense up all of a sudden, and he subconsciously pulled out the big sword behind him.

Liya beside him also seemed to feel something, and her reaction was also very fast, and the golden staff in her hand suddenly appeared, and she had already begun to chant incantations in her mouth.

At the same time that Paul noticed the abnormality, four huge black rune circles suddenly appeared on the cliffs on both sides. There was an evil aura emanating from the circle, and the black runes slowly began to wriggle strangely.

I only heard a thudding popping sound, and vines the thickness of an arm slowly grew out of the black magic circle, and the vines also had countless sharp barbs on them, which made people feel frightened when they looked at it.

Suddenly, a vine struck out with lightning speed, and in an instant, a soldier in the rear was rolled up. Only a scream was heard, and the soldier exploded with a thud when he was swept into the air by the vines, and the blood mist that burst was sprinkled down, accompanied by the fragments of internal organs, and people were disgusted to see.

"It's not good, the whole army is defending, the shield guards are defending in formation, and everyone is advancing slowly while ensuring safety. As long as you get out of the cliff, you'll be fine. Paul immediately commanded.

He could feel that these vines on both sides had at least the strength of a level 20 warrior, which was enough to easily crush ordinary people.

The soldiers in the rear were also well-trained, and soon formed a formation, and those soldiers with huge shields in their hands blocked the huge shields in front of them, forming battle formations one by one one next to each other, defending the other soldiers in the middle, so that those vines could only continue to volley on the shields for a while, and they became unable to start.

Paul saw that the situation was stable, and then he was relieved, but fortunately, the attack methods of those vines were relatively simple, and they were large and easy to guard.

The army slowly advanced under the constant attack of the vines on both sides, although the speed was a little slower, but there were no more casualties.

Paul opened the way in front of him alone, and the great sword in his hand swung in the air, splitting the vines on both sides one after another. The male lion under him is also extremely powerful, and every time he swings his claws, he can smash the roots and vines of the tree.

But those vines seemed endless, no matter how they were chopped and how many times they were cut, how many would grow. This also made Paul's brow furrow even tighter, perhaps he was not sure of the truth of what Lia said before, but now he had believed seven or eight points.

At this time, Liya also blasted out fireballs one after another, burning those vines one after another in mid-air, turning into flying ashes and scattering between the heavens and the earth. But this is a staggering amount. Wave after wave, endlessly, making people's scalp tingle.

There was also a constant clanging sound from the vine attack in the army behind him, all of which were made by the vine bombarding the shield.

The shield-wielding soldiers had been alternating back and forth for two or three rounds, and after almost every attack, someone would be unable to lift his shield because he could not withstand the huge bombardment, and his arm was numb from the shock.

In this situation, the army advanced a distance of about 500 meters. Finally, all I heard was a scream from the army. A vine was the first to break through a shield battle formation. The huge vines were like meat grinders, rolling in the crowd, and they directly penetrated the bodies of dozens of people.

The men were strung high into the air, like sugar gourds. And then an even more bizarre and terrifying scene happened. I saw that a spherical rhizome suddenly poked out of the black magic circle, and the rhizome was densely covered with various dark green meridians, just like human blood vessels. Those meridians would throb from time to time, which was extremely terrifying.

Suddenly, the spherical rhizome split from the middle and turned into a large mouth. The scarlet mouth was full of tiny vines and dark green meridians, and between these vines and meridians there was a sticky yellow-green slime with a suffocating rancid smell.

I saw that the vine that had strung people up just now loosened those people into their big mouths, and after a while, several people fell into their big mouths.

Originally, those people were already dying, but after falling into the big mouth, there were still many people who screamed in pain, only to see bursts of white smoke rising from their bodies, and the armor on their bodies quickly dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and those mucus seemed to be alive, quickly clinging to the bodies of those people, and in a few breaths, a few soldiers were corroded and only a few pieces of armor full of holes remained. In the end, the big mouth was still humanized and chewed, making a tooth-aching creak.

Everyone gasped when they saw this scene. They had never seen such a terrifying monster before, and the whole army was in chaos in an instant. And in doing so, more soldiers were swept up by the vines and thrown into the scarlet mouth, turning into a puddle of thick water.
