Chapter 112: Fear
I saw that the herald ran in in a panic, and said in a panicked and anxious manner, "Report to the general, there were deserters in the second and fifth battalions, and they were instantly scared away when they saw the dead bodies last night, as well as the third and eighth battalions, and their commanders also fled with them!"
"Bastard!" Samson's eyes were bloodshot at this time, on the one hand, because he didn't sleep last night, and on the other hand, he was angry, he didn't expect that his subordinates would still have deserters!
"General, are we going to chase them back?" asked the herald who came in, weakly.
Samson sighed and waved his hand, at this time, what is the use of chasing these deserters? It is better to stabilize the general's heart.
He asked, "How many escaped?"
"Except for the third and eighth battalions, which escaped directly from the entire formation, the rest escaped piecemeal, and about 1,200 people escaped!"
Samson calmed himself down, and then said, "Take me to see it!"
In just one night, more than a thousand corpses lay in the military camp of Samson, the King of Light.
These corpses, without exception, were all killed by a ring knife that had their trachea severed, but his subordinates said that the murderer was skillful and neat, which Samson disagreed.
Although the killer sealed his throat with a knife, the wounds cut off were uneven, some of them used too much force, and almost the entire head was cut off, and some of them were just lightly stabbed, but they just cut the trachea, and they found that they were not dead, so they continued to mend the knife.
In this way, the killer's killing method is actually not clever.
The clever thing is that they actually have a way to sneak into his camp without a trace, and then kill so many people quietly.
These people died before they went to war!
King Samson of Light was really distressed in his heart at this time, the two rivers and plains had not yet arrived, and the people of the Southern Federation had not yet handed over, and he had 15,000 men and horses, and before he had fought at this time, he had lost 1,500 people and 1,200 deserters, adding up to 2,700 people for no reason!
That's nearly one-fifth of the lost personnel!
And not only that, so many people died for no reason, and so many soldiers escaped, which made the morale of the entire barracks extremely low!
If something can't be found out at this time, then I'm afraid that all of them will die here in no apparent way!
"How's it going?" asked Samson, the King of Light, as he looked at one of the priests who was examining the body.
"Report to the general," said a priest, dragging five or six corpses over, "I have found that there is a very strong dark aura on the bodies of these corpses!"
"I don't want to listen to the process, just tell me the conclusion!" At this time, Samson was extremely emotionally sensitive, and he was already on the verge of collapse!
The priest didn't sell it, and said directly: "I remember that Lin Yu seems to be able to summon an undead creature, which can attach to people's bodies and control people's consciousness!
"Lin Yu?" Samson said as he looked at him, "You mean Lin Yu is here?"
"No...... The subordinates don't know, the subordinates just say what they think!"
"I know what you mean," said Samson, "that is, someone took control of the people in our barracks, and then at night when everyone was asleep, they began to assassinate!"
"What happened to the people who disappeared before?"
"This subordinate still doesn't know!"
After hearing these words, Samson was silent for a long time, and he knew that he was a general and had to make a decision.
Samson said: "Immediately publish the results of the investigation to the soldiers to stabilize the morale of the army, and at the same time, you go and organize the priests to start the investigation to see if there are any people in the barracks who are controlled." Can you do that?"
"Of course," replied the priest, "we are all believers in the God of Light, evil undead creatures, as long as they are attached to people, there will be a dark aura that we can easily see!"
"Okay, in that case, you can do it quickly!"
"Yes!"
Samson held his forehead, his head swollen.
"What do you say, 'easily recognizable,'" Samson laughed angrily, "If you can easily discern it, how come you can't detect it these days?
On this day, the troops of the Reims Empire did not continue to march. All the people were under examination, and the work continued until the evening, and before the sun went down, the priests of the Holy See of Light finally completed the investigation and confirmed that there were no people possessed by undead creatures in the barracks.
In addition, Samson also sent people down to do propaganda, telling the soldiers that if they were separated from the large army at this time, it would actually be more dangerous, and it would be better to stay with the large army, so that everyone would have a good idea!
The unknown is the most terrifying and the most frightening, but after the soldiers learned that it was the undead creature who made the move, as long as they knew that there was a reason, they had the bottom of their hearts, and at the same time, the propaganda of Samson's faction was very effective, although more people may not be able to do things well, but when they get together, they will indeed feel more secure.
Therefore, except for those who fled in the morning, there were no new deserters until then.
This made Samson breathe a sigh of relief again.
At this time, the sun is setting, the day is about to end, and the night is beginning to fall again.
However, at this time, a new problem arose, that is, everyone in the barracks did not dare to sleep.
Including Samson, who didn't sleep all night last night, was also fighting hard at this time, not daring to close his eyes easily, he knew that tonight was the most critical moment, and he must find out those undead creatures.
And...... Lin Yu, is it really here?
......
......
In a reed pond ten kilometers north of the Reims Empire, five hundred Wind Resisting Troops didn't know when they started, and they all gathered!
The Wind Resisting Army, which was originally scattered to various places, was all summoned back by Feng Xiaojin today, and she wants to make something big tonight!
"Commander, are we going to let the crypt spiders dig a pit and raid tonight, or do we use the banshee to control and kill people like we did last night?" Ma Niu asked with a bag of small biscuits in Feng Xiaojin's hand at this time, and asked with some excitement.
In the past two days, his commander is simply a god, first predicted on the map where the Lance Empire was about to be stationed, and then let the crypt spider burrow into the ground in advance to ambush, and then in the middle of the night, he directly drilled out of the ground, directly ate the people in the tent, and then drilled back into the ground!
