ACT154 The Battle of Hualu Village after the change
"Lord Sask, our losses are great, except for the skeletal archers, most of the remaining troops are also seriously wounded, they, they seem to have lost the ability to continue fighting......"
"I see, Lady Marda."
Sask's face was as heavy as a tombstone as he stood under a verdant and branched eucalyptus tree, staring at a female lich beside him who was reporting to him - there is no gender distinction between lichs in nature, and the reason why her name is followed by a special noun is because of her former status-
Lady Marda, who lived in the same distant homeland as Sask, quickly became close after becoming an undead from the Underworld's Necropolis to Norgo, the northern land of the Elantra Kingdom, and after an occasional conversation with Sask.
Melville, the Lich, and Sask each led a team and parted ways, and she became Sask's lieutenant.
The undead have their own unique contact with each other, and when she counted the troops in the mountains and forests, the heavy losses couldn't help but make her soul fire start to flutter because of fear-
With her teeth chattering, she finally made her way to Commander Sask's side and reported the terrible news.
The army of more than 700 men was gone, and most of the lucky ones who jumped off the cliff in a panic were also crippled, and Sask almost crushed his teeth—
However, he still managed to control his emotions well, and after spending more than half an hour regrouping his team, he decided to continue to march towards Hualu Village on the other side of the valley according to the established battle plan.
His temporary opponents were just unarmed villagers, so the loss of combat power from his troops at the moment didn't shake him in the slightest - and on this night, when he captured Hualu Village, the Lich Melville would be leading another group of men and horses here.
It's just the culprit who caused this bad situation, and he can't wait to find out that guy's broken bones!
……
"Sask? Boss, you mean the skeleton general? ”
The town of Faun was easy and enjoyable to deal with the undead, and even the entire "Primordial Dream" mercenary group became casual when discussing these terrifying skeletons-
Gross tells his companions about the most likely opponents to face next, but Scott, Oliver, and Levine are unimpressed.
Knocking out a skeleton, isn't it a casual cervical spine to get on it?
Back in the battle in the small town of Faun, because Gross told everyone about the combat weaknesses of the skeleton warriors and skeleton archers, they didn't have to take a few extra steps to solve these undead low-level troops-
And now, Gross suddenly became serious and serious, and they felt that Gross's repeated preaching was simply redundant.
"Never underestimate any enemy, this is a mercenary's rule of survival."
However, "Redbeard" Red expressed great approval of Gross's approach -
In fact, when the word "Demon Martial Dual Cultivation" was put in his mind on the young mercenary leader in front of him, Red's eyes when he looked at Gross had automatically brought extreme worship to the mountains, even if Gross farts at the moment when he ate a fresh raw garlic at lunch, he would feel fragrant and penetrating to his heart.
"Mr. Gross, you know so much."
The team walked along the mountain road, and it was Miss Mage Ladia who spoke, her little face seemed to be a little red, and looking at her expression, it seemed that she wanted to speak many times, but this time, after hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke:
"Actually, I wonder where you learned so much."
Radia asks a question that everyone wants to know, even as Gross's childhood playmate, Oliver doesn't know that Gross has such a deep knowledge - the scene when Gross operates the "Akalinth's Rune Boundary Monument" almost completely shocks them.
For the first time, Oliver felt that Gross was a little unfamiliar to him, and if some of the strange actions of the former bandit leaders could be reluctantly explained, then such a thing of stepping into the realm of mysterious knowledge could not be said from common sense at all.
"Oh, I have a distant uncle who taught me in this regard......"
Gross was open-minded.
"But I remember that Daddy Franco didn't have any brothers, and in the last ten years or so, he had at most gotten together with a few brothers-in-law for a drink, Gross, the uncle of yours who likes to brag when he's drunk......"
Daddy Franco is Gross's father, and Oliver mercilessly exposes Gross's lies, and he is even nagging, staring at Gross and continuing: "Boss, you know what? The way you speak now looks very much like your uncles......"
"Fart!" Gross promptly refuted it by quoting Levin's famous quote.
His three uncles had worked as traders and peddlers for a long time during their lifetimes, and they were well spoken and knowledgeable compared to the other farmers in the village. He remembers that when he was a child, his uncles used to tell him interesting and bizarre things from afar, and they were often able to gather large audiences. It's a pity that they didn't save a few raels for various reasons, and after returning to the village to settle down, they couldn't help but be pointed at by those villagers behind their backs-
In the simple perception of the peasant, the merchant is not a profession to boast of, it is closer to the opposite than a soldier for the nobleman, the so-called merchant is almost equivalent to a thief, a liar, and a habitual criminal.
In short, it's not a good reputation.
Radia didn't expect Gross to have such an interesting-sounding group of relatives, so she couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh - the girl's laughter like a silver bell set the mood, and several people in the mercenary group soon discussed these topics in a heated manner.
Gross was expressionless.
It wasn't until their curiosity about the fact that Gross was able to operate Akarinte's rune boundary tablets faded a little bit, and the atmosphere in the team returned to normal—
The night was already dark, Gross raised his head from the horse, looking from a distance, the night and the trees in the mountains and forests were like a dense net, and the lights in Hualu Village were presented in front of them through the dark gaps, but the atmosphere at this time was extremely strange, listen carefully, the whole village seemed to be silent, occasionally a little movement, but it was a slight sound of the nearby wind blowing the branches and leaves of the trees.
Something seems to be wrong.
At this moment, a large field of bright torches lit up in the village.
"Full speed ahead!"
Gross drove his horse and shouted immediately, and at this moment, he suddenly couldn't care about exposing himself-
Although he had never said anything like "to be a great hero", it was not what he wanted to see to witness the undead slaughtering human civilians.
What's more, after using the "Akalint's Rune Boundary Monument" to solve the large number of undead troops, all the experience points were swallowed by him personally, which just allowed him to cross the LV40 awakening intermediate threshold.
The second level of the law of power (element) is on.
