Chapter Eighty-Four: The Trap
The horses seem to be starting to get restless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
On both sides of the line, the gray-black trees moved back as they went, and the lifeless branches resembled the poisonous wand of a witch, black and sharp cliffs.
The weather was already gloomy, and the woods were even darker. It looks like it's the place where the ghost story takes place to scare children.
The horses marched cautiously through the shadowy woods, beware of any danger that might suddenly arise from the shadows cast by the trees.
Noxus had apparently discovered the secret passages deep in the forest, and the mysterious beach where the warships were hidden—the last way for the Holy King to leave for the city of Presian. However, according to Kennan's recent explorations, the ships in the Hideout were not damaged.
They deliberately left this path of survival, like a candle flame that lures moths, leading them to the end of the ashes.
Rise from the ashes.
Explaining the task to him, Reginad quoted this old Ionian proverb. Even at all costs, you have to find a way to break out and pass the news of Noxus' early war to the Kingdom of Demacia and the War College. Otherwise, what awaits Ionia will be the death of Noxus.
Zelos remembered what Reginad had said among the soldiers, and suddenly felt a little funny, maybe hoping that this kind of thing was just a flash in the pan.
He reached out and stroked the mane of his horse, hoping that it would be quiet, but to no avail, he soon noticed that the mounts of the riders around him were beginning to show unease.
There seems to be something...... Approached.
Zelos couldn't help but tighten the reins of his horse and wrap it around his palm, he didn't give an order, and he didn't have to give an order, because all the riders didn't dare to breathe because of this seemingly non-existent power.
He heard the chirping of birds drifting down from the high canopy.
He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The sound of birdsong is light and natural, and where the ambush is located, birds and beasts will never be so comfortable.
At this moment, the horses were suddenly startled, neighing, and people stood up, and flipped the rider on their backs to the ground, and an unlucky fellow was directly overturned to the ground, broke his neck, and died on the spot.
The soldier who fell to the ground **, got up from the ground, and cursed the damn brute in his mouth. How could this suddenly happen? Zelos straightened his crooked helmet and thought strangely, not daring to slack off.
However, at this moment, between the gaps in the helmet, he suddenly saw a black shadow flashing!
In the middle of the dense forest, a black figure suddenly jumped up and landed in the ranks, knocking a soldier who had just stood up to the ground. I only heard a scream of pain from among the soldiers, and along with this, there was a creepy voice-
The sound of wild beasts tearing at fresh meat.
The figure that suddenly jumped out bit the soldier's neck!
This armor has no neck guard, and it is a fatal point for ease and flexibility when turning heads.
The surrounding soldiers drew their weapons almost as fast as they could, and several sharp blades pointed at the attacking figure, forming a threatening momentum, but no one dared to rush forward. The assailant shook his head, tossed the dead man's limp body aside, and then turned to face the already frightened crowd.
This guy looks like he's human!
And that face was clearly characteristic of the Ionians.
But his eyes had long been out of focus, his pupils were divergent, and he looked like a dead man, as if he had lost consciousness and lost his heart, and the corners of his mouth still had the broken and blurred flesh of the deceased. However, at this time, the action has changed from the swiftness of the way to the beginning, and has become a little sluggish.
Golden opportunity.
"Kill him!" Zeloth's orders were drowned out in the battle cries of the soldiers, and several blades surrounded the Heartless One from all sides, stabbing straight at him.
The mindless eyes of the heartless were suddenly submerged in a strange layer of amber.
In the surrounding bushes, several figures suddenly jumped out, and several warriors on the periphery were directly knocked to the ground by the heartless ones who jumped into the formation, and the savage attack directly killed people.
bit off his neck, and was even torn into two pieces by his waist alive.
"Defense! Restructure the formation! Zelos shouted, and the panicked ranks quickly shrank into a circle.
Most of the cavalry under his command were samurai, and they were not equipped with shields, only a large sword as a weapon, and could not protect themselves well, so they could only form a ring formation, with their blades facing outwards to face the enemy in unison.
A soldier tries to rescue his comrade who has been knocked down by the Heartbreaker, who is holding the fierce Heartbreaker with his weapon, his arms barely holding on, but it seems that his doom will be imminent. He slashed off the heartbreaker's head with a sword from behind, and the head flew out. However, the headless body was still moving, and the soldier who was suppressed was terrified, and for a moment, the palm of the heartless man suddenly stabbed into his chest.
"Come back! Thomas! Zelos shouted the soldier's name, but he was too frightened to walk, and seemed to be fixed there.
The headless Heartbreaker lunged at him......
Everyone present couldn't help but close their eyes and take a deep breath, they couldn't bear to look at the bloody picture, but even listening to that sound, the sound of flesh being torn apart, made people's hearts chill, and it felt as if something was turning in the depths of their throats, and they wanted to vomit.
Zelos eased his senses and tried to sort out his emotions, telling himself that they were warriors and would face this day one day.
The same heartbreakers jumped from the surrounding bushes to the nearest soldier. Or leap from a tree and ride on the head of some hapless bastard. The soil in the forest was soft and damp, as if stepping on a puddle of mud. The ground was also slightly undulating, like the breath of a dying person, and the amber-eyed heartless man struggled out of the dirt.
They are all dead things.
A body without a soul. It can lie dormant anywhere, just waiting for the moment when the prey enters the encirclement.
Now, they are surrounded by these monsters.
Everyone standing together trembled, and the sound of breathing close to each other could be heard clearly—it was the frequency of fear, panic spreading like a disease.
The hand holding the sword was constantly oozing with sweat.
At this moment, a light green light wafted out from their mouths and noses on the bodies of those who had been bloodily killed, slowly rising. Zelos noticed that in the middle of the air, there was a cloud of light blue mysterious energy, condensed into a blurred sphere at the corners, slowly rotating with brilliance.
The green rays that floated out of the corpse all converged into the light blue ball of light, dyeing the ball of light into a warm yellow-green color.
As the convergence slowly stopped, the corpses on the ground suddenly moved...... Their heads hung low due to the severe damage to their necks, and as they moved, they dragged the long swords they had used in their lives in their hands, and slowly walked towards their comrades not long ago.
The eyes of the lost were already occupied by the same strange amber color.
"These are puppets." Akali said. "The guy who controls them should be hiding somewhere, and if you don't defeat the person who controls the puppet, I'm afraid these puppets will be very difficult to kill."
"Can you find the man's location?"
"I'm not sure, I need to use the ninja to find the specific direction, but it will take time, so during the ninja activation, please ......"
"No need to look for it." A coquettish female voice floated softly down from a high place. Akali looked up, her gaze quickly catching the owner of the voice.
Light blue magic light surrounds her body, the red and white silk dress wraps the concave and convex delicate body, the nine velvet tails behind her naturally sway gently, and the pretty face of the city is overhead, but there are a pair of fox pointed ears on the top of her head.
The color of the fox's eyes is like amber.
"Let's try your luck, if you think it's okay. Hee-hee. The sly and coquettish laughter tickled people's hearts.
People say that women are made of water because they are beautiful and fickle, and at the same time ......
It is fraught with danger.
