Chapter Twenty-Five: An Unexpected Enemy
The snow in Tuang Village was full of craters for a while, and the members of the Wood Elf Special Task Force on Traucer's side were instantly surrounded by these people and elves who crawled out of the snow from all sides.
"Stop! Who's there!? If you get closer, you will be killed as an enemy!! We are the Elvenia Border Forest Patrol, and in the name of Baron Sheffield we order you to cease hostilities, otherwise don't blame us for exercising the necessary force! Teucer and the rest of the Wood Elves yelled at the men, but they still staggered and swirled around the Wood Elves Einsatzgruppen, who didn't heed the warning.
"Don't test our patience, it's a stern warning!" Teucer and the rest of the Wood Elf Einsatzgruppen pulled their longbows from their right shoulders, and around the corner of the cabin was a member of Teucer's familiar team, "Sandro," staggering and covered in blood.
"Sandro!" Teucer finally saw his face, it was an incredibly distorted face, and he kept making strange grunts in his throat, and he suddenly turned viciously to Teucer who called him by name.
"That's not right!" Teucer shouted.
"What's going on with them? Trafigura. Glenn beside him subconsciously twisted his bow on alert.
"Look at their eyes! Sandro and his teammates are not conscious at all! Sandro has no soul left! Teucer eagerly told the players next to him that Sandro and the players behind him had become very strange in their eyes, which were frozen in ice and only the whites of their eyes.
"Guys, the arrows are wound! Aim now! Otherwise, we'll be wrapped up in wood elves by these weird guys! Teucer made a decision immediately, although he didn't understand what was happening, and the people crawling out of the snow in front of him were full of strange malice, "One last warning! If you get any closer, we're welcome! ”
"Put!" Glenn wasn't going to wait any longer.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" A rain of powerful arrows from Teucer and his teammates flew out, and the stumbling creatures that approached from all directions were shot and fell.
"Wow! How could it be, these guys are terrible monsters, and our shots won't work against them at all! They're on their feet again! "In the Einsatzgruppen, one of the Wood Elves suddenly let out a frightened scream, apparently forgetting what to take care of when drawing his bow to maintain the accuracy of his shot.
"These guys are immortal!" The other team members almost opened their mouths, and in his eyes, the stumbling fellows who had been shot in the chest should have collapsed, but he got up from the snow shivering.
"The annoying Trians are so tenacious, I don't believe I can't shoot you." Sweating from his forehead, Glenn once again twisted an arrow from his quiver and aimed it at his target once more - the Trian who had been shot through the heart. After a brief series of actions of setting arrows, pulling strings, and aiming and shooting, only another bang was heard, and Glenn shot an arrow through his abdomen.
"It's horrible! Mr. Glenn, you really didn't shoot it! The screaming wood elf's face turned pale, and his words made Glenn's heart tremble.
"Teucer!" Glenn began to get nervous, and he looked back at Teucer who was drawing the bow, only to see Teucer's face pale, but his hand pulling the bow was not shaking.
"Sandro, I'm sorry. Your appearance destroys my perception of the image of the Wood Elves, I thought that the Wood Elves were a charismatic race, but when I saw you now, I knew that I was wrong. Teucer aimed at the head of Sandro who had become one of the monsters, and the whites of his eyes caused Teucer's stomach to tip over the flask.
Sandro shivered on the ground a few times and lay stiff in the snow. The final destination of this Tuang wood elf turned out to be the snow of his homeland.
"Sandro turned into a monster was shot by Teucer!" The members of the Einsatzgruppen almost cheered, and they undoubtedly discovered the Achilles' heel of these guys.
"Guys, these guys' weakness is exactly their head!" Teucer's apprehensive heart finally found a landing spot, and his cry became confident, "Aim for the heads of these monsters - shoot!" ”
The sluggish and stiff creatures had a banging sound on their heads, and their eyebrows were like blood-red flowers, and straight arrows of wood elves pierced into their heads, and they trembled like an electric shock and could not get up again.
The shooting method that Teucer stumbled upon was quickly put to practical use in their ranks, and in fact, it was the only effective way to deal with these monsters at the moment. After the team quickly shot down at least twenty monsters that had risen from the snow, the immediate need was initially relieved. It was precisely because of the method that Teucer had stumbled upon that all the members of the team thoroughly regarded Teucer as their temporary captain, and the military was a little more at ease.
"Teucer, look at us in the distance. These guys are just endless! I think we've been trapped in the center by these guys! Glenn pointed to the distance, it was a row of shaking shadows under the black pressure, "These guys seem to have taken their numerical advantage to the extreme, no matter how remote Tuang Village is, there are at least fifty or so wood elf warriors guarding it, it seems that there are very few warrior brothers stationed here, at least most of them have become these twisted guys!" ”
"They're like a frozen wall of flesh!" A Wood Elf Ranger had never seen a monster like this before, so much so that his tongue seemed to be knotted in surprise.
"According to the current situation, we must find a place to break out first." Teucer's mind raced for a way to escape.
"To the north of us are the premises. To the south is the hill from which our team came. To the west is a wooded road, and to the east is woods. Glenn doesn't seem to have much to do, "Everywhere there are these damn monsters!" ”
"Of course it's all these monsters! These guys are a trap in the first place, and their behind-the-scenes manipulators are waiting for us to drill into this trap. Teucer kept thinking in his mind based on what he saw in front of him, "The hill can't be sandwiched, this kind of monster is too dense there. We couldn't rush through it, the woods weren't suitable for our arrows, the streets of the houses were not in a good place for us to see, and walking there was tantamount to digging into the pockets of these monsters, so we had to go all the way to the South Hills. The monsters here have not yet gathered into the climate. ”
"Behind the scenes?" Glenn looked at Teucer suspiciously, "How do you know these guys have a behind-the-scenes manipulator?" ”
"I don't know! That's the word that popped into my head! Teucer suddenly came back to his senses, "What did you say, did I mention the term manipulator behind the scenes?" All right! It's a speculation that my brain is forcing on me. ”
"Don't talk about this pointless stuff, these guys are getting together more and more!" The faces of the players all showed panic, "We have to find a way to break through quickly!" ”
"Look, what a plague." The cold, mysterious voice in Teucer's head was like a lingering shadow, "I said you would never escape the ten thousand probabilities I designed for you. ”
"Don't fucking make a noise!" Teucer's fierce cry immediately drove away the abominable voice, and Teucer's surroundings fell silent.
"Strike an arrow formation! According to the sequence of the training ground, the players in front of us concentrated on shooting arrows to the south facing us, and the other team members followed closely to follow the scimitar guard. Keep moving, don't fight, we'll have to head up the hill to the south, as long as we can tear a little hole through the encirclement of these guys! We will be able to get out of their encirclement. These guys move slowly on flat ground, and the hilly terrain will definitely give us an advantage. Teucer drew the sword that glowed with a warm blue light in his hand and pointed at the southern hill that he had just slid down.
Under the command of Teucer, the members of the Wood Elf Einsatzgruppen quickly formed a rushing arrow formation, and the position was analogous according to the sequence - Teuker, who was both the temporary captain and the leading soldier, was defeated by his team members. Pushing to the most dangerous hand-to-hand combat position at the tip of the arrow array, Glenn and a member of the Wood Elves stood in the firing position behind Teucer, the arrow formation was composed of four members of the team with bows and arrows, and at the end of the arrow formation, the four team members formed a small diamond-shaped phalanx for the rear of the hall, they put away their longbows one by one, and immediately drew the two snow scimitars they had inserted in their waists—these sharp scimitars would ruthlessly cut off the necks of these enemies when the tore opening was about to be closed again.
"Attack!" With a wave of his sword, Teucer led the team members to charge towards the monsters to the south, and these monsters that formed a wall of frozen flesh slowly raised their cold arms.
A sharp arrow suddenly flew from behind Teucer, and the sharp arrow almost grazed Teucer's cheek, and the monster in front of Teucer fell in response.
"Glenn, I thought you were shooting me in the head with this arrow." Teucer waved his sword with ease, slashing off the ugly head of the oncoming monster.
"Be careful, man! Don't die too early like Sandro! Once Glenn cleaned up his panicked heart, all that was left was to calm down, and the arrows he shot were accurate and ruthless, "I don't want to collect your body yet!" ”
"I'd suggest saving some effort to speak, there are so many of them!" Teucer leaped to his feet and slashed in the air, splitting the head of another monster in two.
Snow fell from the sky like the holy feathers of Arcana's guardian angels, and patches of holy feathery snow seemed to want to redeem this troubled team. The 'Wall of Frozen Meat' was gradually torn open by the impact of the arrow array led by Teucer, and only the last monster was left in front of Teucer.
It was a familiar fat figure, the man who had ruthlessly abandoned Teucer on the wooden arrow stack of Goodbay. However, now he is facing the members of the Wood Elf Special Task Force, who are better equipped than the goblins, I don't know how many times. He was still numb and indifferent, but he knew that he staggered and pounced on Teucer.
"Oh, fat man, Marado." Teucer muttered softly, a face of despair, the whites of his eyes turned up set in a round face of pain and distortion, his arms no longer shiny, now covered in brown corpse spots.
Teucer coldly picked up the sword in his hand, and quickly drew the scimitar stuck in his left waist.
"Goodbye, Marado, you fat man!" Teucer used his left-handed scimitar to hold Marado's hands when he had turned into a monster.
"May the falling snow carry you to the place where Arcana exists." Teucer swung the sword in his right hand, and a warm blue light flashed across Marador's neck, and Marador's distorted face finally separated from the fat stump.
Teucer finally fully understood the meaning of the town of Goodbay being erased from the map and the reason why the demons had not declared war, and the current scenario was the most powerful answer. They have "manipulated" the people of the towns of Gudebai and Tueng, and turned them into wandering monsters that spread their hatred for flesh and blood. An old term came to Trauca's mind: "The Walking Dead."
"Thank you, Forrester, for finally breaking out of their encirclement!" Glenn couldn't stop praying like Forrest: "fОгёзтмогезем." ”
"Glenn, the guy I killed at the end, was my childhood friend at Goodbye." Teucer was in a depressed mood, "These guys are the walking dead that the residents have turned into"
"No, that's "ЫКел", an ominous black "magic". This description of magic is recorded in the book "A Study of the Dark Arts" written by the Elder Druid Awakened of the First Age. And I had the pleasure of reading this book written by a druid. Glenn replied categorically.
"They're coming with us!" The Wood Elf Special Task Force member at the back of the palace yelled.
"It's not that we've fallen into another trap!" Teucer looked at him, gasping at the sight that surprised him, "We have no escape. ”
