Chapter 869: Turmoil
Let's not mention what Jingchen has on his side for the time being, just talk about the demon hunters in this demon hunter guild.
Those killers who shuttle through the shadow of the soul lust in the miasma, one by one, will leave with one blow, and then they will hide in the miasma, and everyone has to deal with the miasma on the one hand, and generally have to deal with these killers who are like rabbits, which is really a bit overwhelming.
"Everybody defended each other back to back and continued to move east. Soko's shouts were like thunder in everyone's ears, and hearing Soko's words, a group of demon hunters gathered together in twos and threes, helping each other defend against the killer's attack, and some magicians, druids and other professions that are not good at melee combat were also protected in the middle of the team.
"Childish ......," a cold and disdainful voice sounded.
As soon as the words fell, the poisonous miasma became more and more intense, and it was almost impossible to see the five fingers, and the demon hunters had to draw closer to each other.
From time to time there were screams and deathly wails in the thick miasma, and no one wanted to stop to collect the bodies of those who had died, because they all knew that stopping meant death.
Suddenly, the sound of glass breaking spread throughout the audience, a subtle and clear sound that seemed to be in everyone's ears.
"Sixth-level singer?" the indifferent voice just now sounded again, and there was a kind of uncertainty in his tone.
"I didn't intend to be your enemy, but ......" A pleasant soft voice sounded, but it didn't continue, but the thick miasma suddenly faded a lot, and it continued to fade, and the soft voice never sounded again.
"Thank you for this friend's help, Soko of the Demon Hunters Guild of Moon Lei City thanks you for your help, and please come out and see you. Soko's voice rang out, but he didn't know if he was confusing the killers, or if he really didn't know.
Deep in the forest, several men in black suits with black cloth over their faces stood.
"Where did this singer come from? The cold voice said angrily, it seems that this singer who suddenly appeared has brought them a lot of losses.
“......”
"Say!" Seeing that the few people around him did not speak, the man's voice became even colder.
"Maybe it's just passing by. One of them replied with a shudder.
"Passing by? You actually told me that you were passing by? You tell me, how many elemental singers are there in this Holy Spirit Empire?" Hearing that his subordinates actually gave him such an answer, the person who looked like a leader was even more furious.
“......”
"Captain, our battle formation was interrupted by the soulless voice of the singer just now, and now it can't continue to function, you see?" said another man in black.
"No matter what, you can't let this group of people merge with the previous group, this is a death order from above, you don't want to try the feeling of Shadow Eater, do you?" Although he was interrupted by his subordinates, the leader also knew the seriousness of the situation.
Hearing the leader say this, several other people felt a chill in their backs, and cold sweat began to break out on their foreheads, thinking of the Shadow Devouring Soul, even these people who were used to seeing life and death couldn't help but feel a little afraid, it could no longer be called a criminal law, it was simply murder.
"According to the second set of plans, kill the trash fish among them as quickly as possible. The leader said.
The men in black nodded, and then slowly sank down, as if they had merged into the earth.
Seeing that the other men in black had disappeared, the leader rose to his feet and vanished.
With the help of the singer just now, the poisonous miasma on the battlefield has basically dissipated, and only for this period of time, hundreds of demon hunters have stayed here forever, and before everyone can sigh, the sound of breaking the wind sounded, and I saw one after another figures breaking through the air, like sharp arrows off the string.
"Shrink the formation!" Soko shouted.
When the Demon Hunter Guild heard Vice President Soko's words, the formation that was already very compact began to shrink again.
In fact, in many people's cognition, assassins are a profession that is not suitable for frontal combat, but these men in black have taught them an impressive lesson, only to see assassins with short swords in both hands using the weapons in their hands, or lightly picking, or stabbing at the weakest point of the weapons of the Demon Hunter Guild, and those who can't deal with it for a while also pay a heavy price for their carelessness.
But after all, there was no poisonous miasma as a cover, and some of the men in black were trapped by a few demon hunters, and the result was not much better, and the two groups of men and horses fought fiercely for a while.
Just when a group of demon hunters and men in black were in a fierce battle, and the demon hunters relied on the number of people to gradually recover their disadvantage, an unexpected thing happened.
"Poof...... Burst...... Poof"
A few clear sounds came into everyone's ears, and I didn't know when, a sharp long sword was inserted from the ground, and those long swords took advantage of the fact that the demon hunters did not check, pierced the instep of many demon hunters, and some even directly pierced the abdomen of some demon hunters, and the bloody long sword, after hurting people, sank into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
"Be careful underground. ”
There was a loud bang ...... "boom", and I saw that the earth seemed to crack.
The "Deep Core Earthquake ......" quickly retreated, and a cold voice came, but it was too late, many of them had no time to react, and the black-clothed people who were still hiding underground and waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack the demon hunter had been shocked to death by a sixth-level magic deep core shock cast by a magician of the Demon Hunter Guild.
Gradually, the shattered ground seeped out a steady stream of blood, which stained large swaths of the land red, filling the already blood-filled air with a faint blood-colored smoke and dust.
A strange bell rang, and the killers disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.
After this great battle, there were only five or six hundred demon hunters left.
The brigade traveled for more than an hour and set up camp in a sparsely wooded area.
Inside the camp tent.
"This time, our losses are not small, and we have already lost nearly half of our men before we have found Vice President Angse. Soko sighed as he looked at the statistics of casualties in front of him.
"There's no way around it, it's too sudden. Said a man sitting next to Soko.
Soko frowned and didn't say anything more.
The other person sitting next to Soko groaned slightly, "What is it that can make the Shadow of Soullust make a move, is it hired by someone, or do they also want to intervene?"
Hearing this man's words, Soko's brows furrowed even deeper, for a long time, "Whether it is a mercenary or the autonomous action of the Soul Shadow Organization, the purpose must be the same as ours, it is the former capital of the Behemoth Empire, there must be something there that attracts them, or their employers." ”
Everyone nodded yes, this mission was strange everywhere, and everyone's hearts were like pressing a boulder.
"Enemy Attack ......"
Just as the high-level leaders of the Free Demon Hunter Guild were discussing this matter, a terrible shout spread throughout the entire camp, and for a while, the camp was like a giant beast that had been awakened, and there were bursts of shouts and killings.
When they came out of the tent, they saw that the camp was already full of fire, and it was obvious that many tents had been set on fire by the invaders.
"What's going on?" asked Soko, holding on to a running demon hunter.
"Vice President, the group of men in black is back, and this time they have other professions. "The man was obviously sent to deliver the letter.
"Other professions?" Soko wondered, he had already fought at noon, and the other party was full of assassins, why did other professions appear at such a moment, could it be that the Shadow of the Soul was ambushing multiple groups of people along the way?
"Among them are dark magicians who have summoned the undead canopy...... the man said urgently.
"What!" Hearing the words of the visitor, Soko was stunned, he really didn't expect that among those people there were dark magicians who were good at the undead canopy, and they could cast sixth-level magic, at least they were also dark magicians.
Ignoring the demon hunter who came to report the news, Soko suddenly flew up with a few people and rushed towards the black curtain in the sky, obviously these people were all strong people above level six.
Speaking of the huge black curtain barrier, the originally starry night instantly became invisible, but this curtain barrier seemed to have no effect on Soko, I saw that he flew towards the middle of the curtain barrier without the slightest stop, and except for the two people who continued to follow Soko, everyone else joined in the ranks of dealing with the assassins.
I saw that in the middle of the black curtain barrier, a complex magic circle was engraved there, and an old man with white hair was sitting in it, chanting words in his mouth.
"Take your life, old man!" shouted Soko.
Just as Soko was about to approach the old man, a strong wind broke through the air, causing him to take two steps back.
"Hey, Vice President, how about you let me try your skills?" a man in black came out of nowhere and stood in front of Soko.
didn't wait for Sokodo to say anything, the long sword in his hand turned into a Dao sword under the surge of fighting energy, and it entangled Na Soko, and the person behind him wanted to deal with the magician, but he was also stopped by another man in black, and the five of them fought fiercely for a while.
"Kill ......" The shouts of killing in the distance continued, stimulating everyone's eardrums.
Affected by the canopy of the undead, the speed of the assassins has also increased a lot, this canopy of the undead is much simpler to cast than the battle array, as long as it is a dark magician above level five, most of them can be done, and its disadvantages are equally obvious, unlike the battle array that will not damage the recipient, the effect of this undead canopy will make people prostrate for a period of time after the past, and this time can not use fighting energy and magic power, think about this is the so-called gain and loss.
"Hey......hey" There was an eerie laugh that didn't sound like a human voice.
Before the laughter could fall, a miserable green figure rushed towards Soko. The force collided with Soko's weapon with a loud sound.
Soko couldn't help but be surprised, and when he saw what he had come from, he was also stunned, the miserable green thing turned out to be a zombie, and the body seemed to have decayed, glowing a disgusting green.
"Zheng ......" A sound like a crack sounded, and in an instant, a high-pitched song sounded, hearing this song, all the demon hunters were stunned, and an irrepressible power surged out of their bodies, which alleviated the negative state brought by the undead canopy.
"Withdraw!" a cold voice sounded.
"Do you still want to leave when you come? Seeing that the man in black who stopped him had already had the heart to retreat, how could he be willing to let go of such an opportunity, after all, a strong man who was at least an elemental singer helped him, how could this kind of opportunity be missed, besides, the ghosts of these soul-hungry shadow killers are not gone, and if they are not removed now, they will not necessarily cause any trouble in the future.
From the moment they had fought before, Soko had already sensed that the man was inferior to him, and that he was an axe fighter who had a great advantage over the Assassin in hand-to-hand combat.
The dark shadow didn't want to entangle with him, and just as Soko rushed forward again, a cloud of black smoke rose and gradually filled the air.
"Poisonous!" Seeing the black smoke rising, Soko shouted, and another black-clothed man who was fighting with Soko's two subordinates also flashed into the black smoke, seeing the two of them hiding in the black smoke, Soko also knew that he must not be able to catch up, so he turned his head and rushed towards the dark mage in the circle.
Unfortunately, it backfired, and just as the three of them were about to approach the dark magician's circle, the miserable green zombie suddenly rushed over.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the miserable green zombie suddenly exploded, shattered corpses and thick green liquid splattered in all directions. Soko and the others quickly flashed back, and when the black smoke and green gas subsided, there was no trace of the circle.
As the three of them left, the people in black gradually disappeared into the night.
A group of demon hunters cleaned up the battlefield and hastily buried the dead black-clothed people and companions, which was also a helpless thing, after all, it was impossible to put the corpse in the space ring, nor could it walk in the Demon Beast Mountain Range with the corpse, so it could only be hastily buried, or burned into ashes, and the ashes were placed in the space ring.
On the first day of separation from Zeus Academy, the Demon Hunter Guild lost more than half of its team, and although the other party also paid a heavy price, the result was still a little unacceptable.
"The loss was so great that the family decided not to participate. Inside the tent, Xing Mochen said to Nangong Chunxue.
"What? I finally got here, you said you wouldn't participate?" Nangong Chunxue exclaimed when she heard Xing Mochen say this.
"There's no way, Lord Xingxi is the commander-in-chief this time, and what he decides ......" Xing Mochen said with a look of embarrassment.
"Hmph, now we are grasshoppers on a rope, we can't run away from me, and we can't jump you, if you quit, I'll shake off all your star family's tricks. Nangong Chunxue sneered.
"You ......" Xing Mochen glared at Nangong Chunxue, pointed at her with one hand, but Nangong Chunxue stood there without caring at all, and finally Xing Mochen could only sit on the ground dejectedly.
The inside and outside of the Cologne fortress were in shambles, with firelight, fights, shouts of escape, screams, and countless voices converging into a torrent of noise that soared into the sky.
"General. A bloodied adjutant approached the guard, his eyes red from over-engagement, and he looked like a demonic beast that had been devoured by a man, and there was something indescribably terrifying. However, in his eyes, with a trace of lingering exhaustion, he came to the guard's side, saluted a standard military salute, and said loudly, "General, the tide of demonic beasts has receded, and the demonic beasts that have broken into the city have also been completely eliminated, please instruct the general." ”
Glancing at the adjutant, the guard nodded, at this moment, his body was also full of bloodstains, even he couldn't tell who the blood was, and what he held in his other hand was the combat knife he used to command the battle, and the originally sharp blade had also been cut out, obviously, this former sharp weapon had been completely scrapped.
His eyes swept around, and after a long time, the guard general said in a deep voice, "Let the brothers of the Guards Battalion clean up the battlefield, and the other units will return to the camp to rest, and the casualties will be counted before tonight." After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned for the adjutant to leave.
Hearing the guard's words, the adjutant was stunned for a moment, and then a trace of grief flashed on his face, but he did not turn to leave.
The guard also noticed the adjutant's strange appearance, frowned slightly, looked at the adjutant suspiciously, and asked, "What's the matter?
There was a hint of hesitation on the adjutant's face, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"What's the matter? Tell me something!" the guard general also noticed the adjutant's strange appearance at the moment, and a trace of bad premonition came to his heart, and asked urgently.
"General. The adjutant's eyes suddenly wet, and two tears spilled out of the corners of his eyes, running down his cheeks, blackened by the smoke of gunpowder, and two clearly visible tear streaks were drawn on his face.
"What do you mean, what's wrong?" the guard rushed to the adjutant with an arrow step, grabbed the adjutant's shoulder, and the somewhat tattered military uniform was grabbed by him and made a "bang" sound.
"Generals, major generals and brothers of all the guards battalions are ...... All...... They are all martyred!" After finishing speaking, the adjutant's tears could no longer be stopped, dripping down his cheeks, he was an old subordinate who had followed the guard for decades, and the son of the guard was grown up by him, and the relationship between the two was no less than that of his own father and son, at this moment, the sadness in his heart was no worse than that of the guard.
The guard shook his body, but fortunately he supported his body with the blunt knife in his hand in time.
After a while, the guard retracted his gaze looking at the sky, sighed, and said slowly, "Martyrdom is the best destination for our soldiers, we should be happy for them, and arrange for the cavalry battalion to clean up the battlefield." The guard patted the adjutant on the shoulder and walked towards the battlement, at this moment, the rising sun stretched his back a little slender, at this moment, the back of the guard looked so old and lonely and tall and straight.
"Yes!" the adjutant saluted the guard's back with a standard military salute before turning to leave.
In a short time, the fire in the city has gradually been extinguished, and the burning ladder outside the city has to wait for it to be extinguished before it can be dealt with, otherwise, not to mention that ordinary soldiers can't get close, even the second or third level masters dare not approach easily.
The black smoke slowly rose, drifting over the entire battlefield, the sound of fighting gradually faded, and there were fewer and fewer remaining demonic beasts, and the morning sun sprinkled on the earth, putting a layer of gold on all the places that could be seen, and it was another day.
Many of the residents who had just left their homes knelt down in the direction of the imperial capital, and they worshipped the ruler of the empire, the wise and martial Emperor of the Holy Spirit, because of his leadership, they could be saved from the doom of being abused by demonic beasts. After the worship, many people spontaneously came to the city to help the soldiers clean up the battlefield, and the stonemasons' union in the city has begun to organize stonemasons to repair the city walls damaged by the monsters, and everything is in order.
"It's over. At this moment, Jingchen had been taken to the city by Amandron, and was being supported by Yue Yanran, slowly walking towards the station of Zeus Academy in the city. Stopping in front of the road, Jingchen turned his head and glanced at the corpses lying on the city wall again. Even though many people didn't know each other, he silently prayed for them. Of course, there are countless monster corpses here, each of which is like a small mountain, and it will take several people to remove them.
With a long sigh, Jingchen turned around, Yue Yanran supported him, followed behind the Zeus Academy team, and slowly walked towards the station.
Along the way, many residents who saw them would take the initiative to get out of the way, with a faint trace of gratitude in their eyes, and all the residents knew in their hearts that if it weren't for these people's sacrifice of life, they would have become rotten meat in the belly of the demonic beast.
The trainees dragged their tired bodies through the wide, but somewhat rugged streets. The streets of Cologne Fortress are exceptionally well-built, and although they are unusually spacious, they are not as regular as in other cities, but rather have a rugged feel. This is also the mainstream construction method of military fortresses on the continent at present, especially the fortresses used to defend against Warcraft, which are generally built in this way, which can greatly delay the speed of Warcraft wreaking havoc in the city, and can also minimize the impact on the army's actions.
For example, tonight's beast tide, if it weren't for this rugged road that stopped the demonic beast's charging route, I'm afraid that the destruction of the city would be many times higher than now.
The Zeus Academy group was led back to the station by Armandron, and many of the students who had withdrawn in advance had prepared food and water for them under the arrangement of the instructor, so that they could not only satisfy their hunger, but also take a comfortable bath to relieve their fatigue. The idea is very good, but unfortunately, these students are too tired, hastily grab food, eat some of it, and fall asleep one by one, regardless of whether the blood stains will rub on the bedding.
After eating, Jingchen gently patted Yue Yanran's back and said softly, "Go back and have a good rest, you haven't closed your eyes all night, and you're tired." ”
Yue Yanran nodded obediently, her eyes stayed on Jingchen's face, and she asked a little uneasily, "Chen, are you okay?"
Seeing Yue Yanran's gaze, Jingchen's heart moved, and a fiery feeling suddenly surged into his heart, but he still suppressed that impulse, smiled slightly, and said, "Look at me, isn't this good?
The two slowly walked to the door of the magic professional station, Jingchen waved his hand at Yue Yanran, and watched Yue Yanran's background disappear into the station. Jing Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold, just now, just now, just when Hewitt's body was detonated, something fell not far from him. It was a very ordinary spar, and Jingchen didn't care about it originally. But there was a small dot on the spar that was very close to him, and when Yue Yanran came to help him, the small dot of light and the big dot symbolizing the location of the spar actually gathered together.
Hewitt actually had something on his body that could detect Yue Yanran's location, even if Jingchen was slow to react, he could see the strangeness of this matter, but he didn't say anything to Yue Yanran, but just took advantage of leaning on Yue Yanran to pull a button-sized thing from the corner of her school uniform. If he hadn't known that Yue Yanran had a tracking device on her body, Jingchen would have thought that this gadget was a substitute button, but now it seems that there are faint energy fluctuations in it, which is obviously not as simple as a button.
"Teacher, what do you think about this matter?" Jingchen asked in a deep voice.
"I'm afraid that there are already ghosts in your Zeus Academy, and this little girl should have been calculated. Rios said slowly.
