Chapter 105, Mysterious Organization
Swords and spears thrust, feathered arrows shoot!
In the night, roars, roars, screams, wails, and the clashing of gold and iron resounded through the firelit woods.
The soldiers, under the command of Mark Towne, directly dispersed the enemy outside the village.
Landon landed in mid-air, and with the finger of his scepter and hammer, it emitted a glow of green energy, killing his enemies in an instant.
"Don't waste mana!"
The real enemy has not yet appeared, and Mark, who saw that Ranton had come to help and could solve these ambushes, did not want him to make a move.
"Don't worry, I know what to do. ”
Controlling Voldemort and mastering magic through his memories, Langton flew down to attack, only to verify what he had obtained on a whim, knowing that these enemies were just cannon fodder, and that there were people hiding behind them, and that he would not wave.
Mark: "I didn't find the old guy pretending to be the Count of Changlin Fortress. ”
"I want to take the soldiers out and search around. ”
"Wouldn't it be a bit risky?" said Lanton, frowning.
The enemy is broken and the battle is coming to an end, and this is the time to reorganize and rest, so as not to fall into an ambush, or to face the hidden enemy again, and he is not very in favor of pursuit.
Mark: "We won, we still have morale, if we have been rectified and rested, the morale will be gone. ”
"That's all we have left, we don't have an advantage. ”
"And, I believe in your strength. ”
One blow, then decline, three and rest.
Because of the fire and smoke, the soldiers almost ran away, and this attack was won, and if they did not take the opportunity to expand the results of the battle, it would be difficult for the soldiers to withstand more pressure in the next battle.
It's a little risky, but there's nothing wrong with the idea.
As the soldiers ran in pursuit, more and more of the attacking enemy fell.
After a while, everyone rushed out of the scorched field where there was still charcoal smoking.
Then find the dead bodies of the fleeing soldiers!
"Look at these idiots!"
"This is what happens when you run away in a panic on the battlefield!"
Mark didn't have a good face for the deserters, and turned around and shouted a warning to the good soldiers who remained by his side and did not flee when they were surrounded by smoke.
The soldiers who heard the words agreed and despised these guys in the same way.
Langton: "Did the slave catchers kill them?"
Mark: "I guess, I didn't find any signs of other enemies, they were all weapons of the slave catchers. ”
"You can chase it a little longer. ”
The slave catchers hiding in the village have been largely wiped out, but the old village chief who pretended to be the Count of Changlin Fortress has not been found.
He won't let this slave trader go!
There were more than a thousand soldiers who escaped, and even if they were separated in the thick smoke, Langton felt that they would not all be killed, and that they would have a chance to regain their strength.
After searching for a while, I really couldn't find the fake village chief.
Then he said: "Why don't you take someone back, and I'll fly around to collect the soldiers?"
Mark shook his head when he heard this, Langton, as a small number of extraordinary combat powers, did not want him to run too far at this critical juncture when the enemy did not know when to attack.
"Leave them alone, the group of deserters has been regrouped, and there is a possibility that they will break up again. ”
"I'd rather have fewer people than them. ”
Those more than 1,000 soldiers were trained at the expense of the Chamber of Commerce!
Don't want it like that?
Langton was very speechless when he heard this, even if there was a soldier who had poor resistance to pressure in the face of danger and would flee again in battle.
To complete the task of escorting logistical supplies, he must get people back!
"I'll just take a look around here. ”
Seeing that Langton insisted on this, Mark also understood that there were too few soldiers, so he nodded helplessly: "You be careful, come back immediately when you see the emergency signal." ”
"I see. ”
Hearing this, Lan Don's body moved, and he disappeared into the night sky.
The woods were pitch black.
It is very difficult to find people, but in theory it is very easy, because the deserters will use torches to illuminate them, and the light of the fire will reveal their location.
But those who don't have light can't see at all.
Even after months of exercise.
There's no Andrew's level.
It is very difficult to simulate detection methods such as radar and sound waves with telekinesis, but it is very difficult to use them in the woods.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and dawn quietly came.
Mark led the people back to the village.
After dealing with the captives who were still alive, they rebuilt the improvised fortifications, and arranged for the soldiers to take turns resting and patrolling.
Nothing special.
Langton wasn't sleepy either, so he told Mark to fly to another village.
Carrie asked the old and weak women and children in the village to go back to their own house to rest, and then kept watch here all night, and the villagers whose places of residence were exposed could not sleep at all, afraid that Lanton would bring barbarians and slave hunters.
Everyone hid in the humble wooden house to check it out.
"I need you to take me to the Grand Duke of Romanov. ”
Or inform the nearby villages. ”
But the villagers are hiding here and don't know anything, so they can't help at all, they just hope that the two of them will leave quickly and not disturb their lives.
Langton was helpless.
The dignified Guardian of the Snowy Regions fled into the mountains and disappeared, losing their territory, their cities, and their castles, and their people knew where they were.
It's a real failure to mix like this.
But......
Langton didn't believe that the villagers really didn't know anything.
On the outskirts were slave traders and slave catchers, who hid here for three or four days, but not too far and not much hidden.
Wouldn't a group of old and weak women and children live here?
So.
Langton had a guess.
"They are sentry posts, and if something happens here, it is estimated that the people hiding in the mountains will get the news. ”
"What do you mean?" Carrie asked, somewhat uncertain, "are they outcasts?"
Langton shook his head: "I'm afraid it is, or maybe not." ”
"They don't necessarily know nothing. ”
"Let's get out of here first. ”
Saying that, regardless of Carrie, who was full of doubts, she flew directly into the sky, and then turned into two black dots in the sky until she disappeared.
In the sky, Lan Don, who had pretended to fly away, came back invisible.
Observe how the village has changed.
But the smoke from the breakfast in the cottage in the small village seemed to be unusual, but it was the most unusual point.
The hiding place is exposed, shouldn't normal people be transferred immediately?
So......
The people of the Romanovs must have been hiding in a place where the village could be observed!
"Where will it be?"
Just when Landon was sure of the situation and decided to search carefully, returning to the village camp, Carrie, who was about to take a break, found that the surrounding woods seemed to be full of people.
"Commander Mark Towne, there seems to be movement in the woods on the outskirts of the mountains. ”
"There are a lot of people!"
Mark sneered: "The barbarians of the steppe dare to enter the woods?"
"I really don't know whether to live or die!"
"Assemble everyone!"
......
......
The other side.
Lanton searched the three hills north of the village to find a source of water, but found no signs of human activity, and saw the presence of any large beasts.
Water is an essential material for survival, and there are water source points, but there are no large beasts.
Why is there no human presence in such a place?
Take a detailed look.
Think flexibly.
It's really not difficult to find suspicious points!
The greenery on the top of the hill is well preserved, indicating that this is just an observation point, not a real hiding place, so where would the Romanovs hide?
Where is it on the mountainside?
Or did you come here from somewhere else to observe?
A little bit of careful analysis.
The observant Langton soon found a hidden cave on the side of the low mountain behind the three mountains, and peeled away the weed camouflage board that hid the entrance to the cave.
Then he said to the middle-aged man who was full of weapons: "Hello, I am Gabriel Langton, from the Northlands, and I am on the orders of the Duchess Isabella Stuart, and I want to see the Archduke Romanov. ”
"In addition, I have brought the Empire's Call to War. ”
"The current Minister of War, Archduke Bruce Medici of the East, has called on the lords everywhere to suppress the rebels... There are also sorties to attack the steppes and attack the barbarians. ”
When he found someone outside the cave, he picked up the dagger as soon as he could.
But he didn't do this to fight back.
Nor is it about protecting yourself.
Rather, I want to kill myself!
It is difficult for telekinesis to detect the ground and woods, but it can detect narrow spaces such as indoor and caverns, and when he finds the cave, Langton already knows that there are people inside, and he picks up a dagger and prepares to stab himself in the heart.
Finally found the guide, how could Langton let him end himself?
"You can look at the stamp on the letter. ”
"I swear to God the Father that I have never lied to you, and I will not lie to you. ”
"But... I want you to tell me, how strong is the barbarian to force you to be like this?"
Unable to stab himself in the heart with a dagger, looking at the letter in front of him, the middle-aged man took a deep breath and decided to distinguish the authenticity of the seal.
There are no problems with the seals of the Imperial Military Minister, the Grand Duke of the East, and the Duchess of the Northlands.
Complex patterns are not something that ordinary people can imitate.
After a while, the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and muttered, "I believe that these two letters are true, but I still have to be cautious and can't take you to meet our duke." ”
Langton: "You can bring the letter to the Grand Duke of Romanov." ”
"But ......"
"You should talk about the strength of the barbarians, after all, the call to war is for us to go to the steppe to fight the barbarians. ”
"Barbarians?" the middle-aged man shook his head: "We snowy people will hide in the mountains, not afraid of those barbarians. ”
"And I met ......"
His tone was stunned, his expression became extremely complicated, and he said in a low voice: "I don't know how to explain it, let alone say it, it's some weirdness." ”
"Weird?" Langton felt that the style of painting was a little strange.
Isn't this a magical world?
There is a strange situation, I don't know how to explain it, and I can't tell it......
How does it sound familiar?
"Then there's no need to hide like this, right?"
"I heard that your people are still captured by slave teams and sold to barbarians, and even these outlaws can bully the Snowy Land, what happened to the Romanovs?"
"Do you still have the ability to send soldiers to answer the call?"
Hearing these words, the middle-aged man's face was full of bitterness, and he sighed before he said, "Those slave hunters are not selling people to barbarians. ”
"And... Sell to a mysterious, evil, and powerful organization......"
“......”
Langton has a rush to discover who is behind the scenes and start the main line of the mission.
"What's going on with this evil organization?"
"Why did you catch you?"
Middle-aged: "I don't know what's going on with that organization, but they capture people for evil rituals and sacrifices. ”
"They're strong!"
"And it controls a large number of snowy nobles......"
"Oh no......"
Langton thinks of Carrie, Mark Towne, and the soldiers, and fears that they will run into this evil organization.
But he can't leave now!
"How far is it from here to the Grand Duke's place in the Romanovs?"
"I hope to see you Duke soon!"
The middle-aged man shook his head: "I can only help you transfer the letter." ”
Langton: "You don't believe me, I don't believe you either! How can I be sure you're not lying?"
"Come with me first!"
To find the person who led the way, he couldn't go directly to the Grand Duke of Snow, he could only go back first to confirm the safety of Carrie, Mark and the soldiers, as well as the logistics supplies.
......
......
Ever since Carrie discovered that there was a lot of human activity in the surrounding woods.
Mark immediately moved with his soldiers, and set up an ambush outside the village, in the wooded area that had not been burned by the fire, ready to destroy the invading enemy.
After dozens of minutes of meditation, Carrie also returned to her best condition.
"Stepping~" "Trembling~"
As the enemy drew closer and closer in the woods, eventually falling into a trap carefully laid by Mark's soldiers, the battle immediately began.
"Whoosh~" "Boom~"
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
Twenty mechanical repeaters constantly unleashed crossbow arrows, bronze and steel cannons fired, and crossbowmen fired behind warriors clinging to spears and shields.
However.
Mark's imaginary head-on attack didn't show up!
Enemies who are hit by arrows one by one.
Didn't fall!
Flooded by artillery fire, it will not be blown apart!
Instead, it disappeared like a bubble!
"Magic!"
Seeing this, Mark exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly used the Forbidden Demon Badge, Carrie frowned, but there was nothing to say, and the running enemy quickly disappeared without a trace under the attack of artillery fire and crossbow arrows.
"These enemies turned out to be illusions?"
"It's not!"
Sensing the danger, Carrie raised her hand and unleashed a raging flame to the right of the position!
At this time, one by one, the strange people with green bodies, wearing iron-inlaid armor, holding battle axes, iron knives, and spears, with strange black lines on their faces, all of them more than two meters tall, and red-eyed and fanged monsters were burned and appeared.
Mark was shocked and angry: "It's still invisible!"
"Everybody attack the right side!"
"No!" Carrie controlled the flames and turned into several angry dragons, flying out in all directions: "It's not just us on the right!"
"We are surrounded!"
"What?"
"Ah~" "No!" "Poof~" "Uh~"
Outside the forbidden area, the invisible monsters launched an attack, spears, axes, and feathered arrows flew wildly, and the soldiers in ambush plotted against them!
"Everybody raise their shields to defend!"
Mark shouted loudly, but the soldiers were caught off guard and some couldn't react, and the weirdos finished their ranged attacks, and those who weren't burned by Carrie's controlled flames all roared and charged.
"Bear~!!"
Flames and telekinesis erupt in unison, and Carrie transforms into a rakshasa to control the monsters' weapons to counter, and the crimson dragon engulfs their bodies.
"You can actually cast a spell in the forbidden area?"
Dressed in a brown robe and holding a two-meter-tall staff with a glittering jewel at the top, he slowly fell from the top of the tree.
"You seem to have a special bloodline......"
...... To be continued......
