Chapter Forty-Three: A Strange Count

Several scout veterans quickly collected some dry firewood, piled them together, and quickly lit them with velvet, the fire was not large, but it looked very eye-catching in the dark dense forest. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

A dozen soldiers in Assyrian uniforms sat around the fire, pretending to bow their heads and whisper, but in their hands they held sharp blades and crossbows, and their images were blurred in the darkness.

The others hid in the thick darkness, some crouching on the branches, some lying on the grass, staring intently at the woodland ahead, waiting for the enemy to appear.

The faint light of the fire swayed, and everyone sitting around the fire tensed, with a hint of excitement and nervousness in their hearts.

The breeze in the forest blew on the body, bringing bursts of comfort, but there was a sudden rustling sound in the dense forest ahead, as if someone was walking through the dense branches, and then, a figure appeared in front of the bonfire, and the leader was thin and small, and asked in a gloomy voice:

"Who made you light the fire?"

The voices were cold and emotionless, and the soldiers sitting around the fire stopped whispering, but no one spoke, as if they did not know how to answer.

The man was suspicious in his heart, paused for a moment, and then took a few steps forward, revealing his figure. Short in stature, armed with a sharp sword, a lean face, and a pair of bright eyes, staring closely at the crowd around the campfire. His name is Helian Yue, he was originally a seventh-level assassin, and he was also the temporary leader of the Assyrian scouts, he led the team to be stationed in the dense forest, the purpose was to block the Beiyan spies who passed through here, and in just a few days, more than 20 people had been eliminated.

Two nights ago, the gate of the Red Dragon Fortress was opened, which once again aroused their vigilance, but two days later, no trace of the enemy was found.

According to Helian Yue's conjecture, Bei Yan lost manpower in the dense forest one after another, and he would definitely send a master to bring people over, but Bei Yan must not have imagined that Assyria would send two seventh-level warriors to wait in the forest. In this way, the other party still cannot escape the fate of failure this time.

However, today's events are a little abnormal, the first team found two people with suspicious whereabouts, and went to round up, the person who led the team was a sixth-level warrior, under normal circumstances, there should be no accidents, but a long time has passed, and they have not turned around.

Then, in the area where the first team was lurking, another fire appeared, although the fire was not large, it could still be seen clearly from a hundred meters away. Seeing the firelight, Helian Yue knew that the first squad was already more than lucky, and the other party had come to master this time.

So, he gathered three groups of centaurs together and outflanked them in a zigzag pattern, with himself leading 20 of his men in front, the other two groups hiding side by side 30 meters behind him, and another Rank 7 Assassin wandering alone between the two groups of centaurs, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate each other's masters.

The firelight was clearly a bait, but Helian Yue didn't care about it, and walked straight towards the bonfire. As a level 7 assassin, he didn't think that anyone on the other side could kill him in the dark, not even Zheng Xiong, the commander of the fortress.

Moreover, according to their investigation just now, there was no one within fifty meters of the bonfire, and with only a dozen people in front of them, they wanted to deal with their own people, unless the other party was all masters.

Walking to the place where he was only 20 meters away from the firelight, Helian Yue stopped, he sneered, raised the sharp blade in his hand, and the scout behind him held a strong crossbow and began to move forward slowly.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind them: "Do it!" ”

"Kill!"

The number of people is small, and it is better to be sudden. The sound of crossbow arrows fired sounded rapidly between the two groups of people in the rear, and bursts of muffled humming kept coming, Helian Yue's figure was stagnant, but everyone around the bonfire suddenly showed the bow and crossbow in their hands, and it was a round of shooting at him, Helian Yue's martial arts skills were extraordinary, his reaction was extremely fast, and his body slammed into the ground, and more than a dozen arrows were all shot into the crowd behind him.

Within 20 meters, the power of the crossbow arrow was huge, and the people who were hit by the arrow fell to the ground with a scream. The dozen or so men immediately threw away their bows and crossbows, and rushed forward with their weapons.

As soon as Helian Yue got up, he saw two big spears stabbing towards him like a dragon, he saw that the other party's spear skills were exquisite, and the momentum was urgent, and he couldn't parry, so he retreated, but the two spears were stalked, like maggots attached to the bones.

While dodging, he took the opportunity to pay attention to the situation around him, judging from the shouting and killing, the number of the other party was not large, but there were some strange reports in the middle, which made him a little puzzled:

“1,2…… 5,6……”

He used the method of opening his body and wandered away, intending to wait for an opportunity to kill the two young spearmen in front of him.

I don't know where the guy came from, one has a sharp gun, the other has tricky marksmanship, although his skills are still shallow, but he looks like he doesn't want to die, and he bites himself to death.

Helian Yue was tightly entangled by two guns, and the strange number of reports continued:

“15…… 17,18……”

"Where did that guy Shanqiu die? How can you not pay it back! Helian Yue's heart gradually became angry, and with a sharp roar, the sword in his hand slashed out a stream of silver, rolling towards the two young men.

The sword light was dazzling, with a sharp whimper, and the two young men were unmoved, and the guns did not stop, stabbing, dialing, sweeping, and fighting, and the guns came forward.

The figures of the two sides staggered back and forth, and the blades collided non-stop, making a short and dense resonance of gold and iron.

Sting!

Burst!

Under the rapid attack, the sound of weapons entering the flesh sounded on both sides almost at the same time, a young man was shot in the ribs, but Helian Yue was shot in the left shoulder.

The young man in the sword covered the wound with his hand, stood with a gun, his face was pale, and the blood under his ribs did not stop, and the other young man was anxious, and his marksmanship accidentally revealed a flaw, and he was seized by Helian Yue, stabbed two swords in a row, and fell to the ground on his knees.

"It's a pity that two good seedlings are going to die in their own hands today!" Helian Yue sneered in his heart, and took the lead in rushing towards the young man who was kneeling on the ground, and he wanted to pierce the young man's neck with a sword, causing him to die happily.

The young man knelt on the ground, his bright eyes looked at Helian Yue who was rushing towards him, his expression seemed to be smiling rather than smiling, and he looked extremely strange under the flickering firelight.

"When death is on the verge of death, what kind of mystery do you have?" Helian Yue's heart was slightly cold, his right arm shook, and the sharp blade flashed with a ball of silver, stabbing at the young man.

"Don't move!" Suddenly there was a loud shout in his ears.

The voice was loud and powerful, as if beating a heavy drum, which shook Helian Yue's heart.

He looked sideways, but saw a tall black shadow with a fierce fishy wind, suddenly approaching......

Helian Yue was so frightened that his heart was broken, and his right arm swung sharply, trying in vain to stop this "beast" that was violent and hurting, but he suddenly felt a pain in his face, and then it was like hitting a mountain.

Boom!

His body flew several meters at once, and a large amount of liquid continued to pour out of his mouth and nose, and his vision became blurred......

In the haze of consciousness, it seemed that I heard the strange sound of counting again:

62……

None of the 62 Assyrian scouts escaped! (To be continued.) )
