Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Other Side's Affair (I)
Screams rang out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
With the roar of fire and earth-shattering, a group of people pulled their legs and ran wildly.
They were the warriors of the mercenary group, and as they retreated, they looked in horror at the charred corpses of their companions behind them.
This is a forest less than 10 kilometers away from the city where the rebels are stationed, and this group of outlaws originally came to this place after receiving the task of investigating the siege of Warcraft. Although they are not a well-known mercenary group, and their strength is not very strong, they are a combined army of elite mercenary groups, and they understand that this is the enemy's position, and they also understand that they must secretly complete the investigation without alarming the enemy, and then retreat to Yeovil City. Of course, the worst-case scenario is that the enemy will find them, but this will also take some time. After all, it was a time of war, and unless the enemy swept around with a large force, their enemies would only be patrols for the time being in such a wilderness, and as long as the patrols were not allowed to gather a large group of men, they would not be in danger, however, this was only a good expectation, and within an hour of their entry into the rebel territory, they had lost half of their numbers.
In the sound of explosions, a large number of companions were killed and wounded, and their enemies were several monsters that had never been seen before, with a body as thick as a python, with a head shaped like a flower, and sharp teeth like thorns, which looked very much like a worm, but it was about the size of a wolf.
If Xia Di was here at this time, he would definitely be surprised to find that these monsters were the monsters he suspected of being knocked out of their nests when he met rebels and barbarians in Bath - Burst Flower Worms.
"What is this!?"
"Warcraft? Or an elemental elf? ”
"No, there is no summoner's breath around here, it can't be an elemental elf, could it be that this is the demonic beast we want to investigate?"
"In addition to the map, the old guy of the King's Army also gave us the portrait of the Warcraft that participated in the siege of the city, and this thing is obviously not there!"
The mercenaries stopped running and looked at the monsters with murderous vigour.
At first, they thought they had been attacked by a magician belonging to the rebels, so they chose to run away. After all, the attack range of the mage is large and the range is long, so when they encounter the mage, they will basically choose to escape from the mage's attack range and then take out the opponent's tactics in a roundabout way
However, they quickly calmed down and realized that the other party could not be a magician
Magicians are a scarce profession in any era. Although today's British magical civilization is thriving, like other countries on the opposite continent, it will only deploy magicians in defensive places, and it is impossible to set up precious magicians in this kind of wilderness, that is to say, the explosion just now has something to do with the monster in front of you......
"Ahhh
The mercenary at the front of the team was pounced on by the monster.
The worm-like monsters overwhelmed the mercenaries with high jumps, turning their bodies red from tail to head, and then, like an undersea volcano erupting, a stream of gas erupted from within it, emitting a blinding light, blasting itself and the mercenaries to pieces.
"Since, suicide attack? These monsters will explode! ”
"Hurry up, retreat! Don't even think about fighting them, you'll be involved! ”
Witnessing the power of the monster with their own eyes, the people of the mercenary group couldn't help but turn blue.
They are outlaws, but they also cherish their lives, and in the face of such a dangerous enemy, they immediately turn and flee.
With their speed, they can escape from the attacks of these monsters as long as they run away with all their might.
However, they do have their own self-esteem, and if they do not complete the task, they run away casually, not only will they not make money, but they will also lose their reputation, so they run and look for an opportunity to avenge their companions.
"Arrow of Fire! ,”
Among them, the purple-robed magician, Barlow, the leader of the Blade Mercenary Regiment, lifted his gold-rimmed glasses, turned around and sent out three flashes of fire, hitting several worms.
The Arrow of Fire is a low-level magic of the fire type, and it is a move that must be mastered by a beginner magician. Its advantages are low consumption and fast chanting speed. Best for pinning down moving enemies.
Attacked by rocketry, the worm screamed and exploded.
Several worms beside it also appeared to be involved.
"Well done!"
The mercenary archer beside Barlow seemed to be inspired, and with a shout, he quickly drew his arrow as he ran, and although he barely shot it, his arrow grazed the worm's head and went deep into the ground due to lack of skill.
"Idiot! Don't run yet! Barlow exclaimed, "I remember what this beast is called!" It's a nest-type monster that acts in groups! It's called Burst ......"
Before Barlow could finish his words, he heard a loud noise behind him.
One more corpse.
At the same time, the same monster crawled out of the surrounding grass, and the number was no less than 10!
The warriors of the mercenary group immediately realized that these enemies were not something they could deal with, and hurriedly called out of their companions and fled from the area with all their might.
"Captain, what did you just say about the Warcraft!?" Barry said as he ran, looking at Barlow.
"It's a popping flower bug! A terrifying demonic beast that appears in the evening and is known as the Ghost Fire! When you touch this thing, it's like you've received intermediate-level fire magic! ”
"So dangerous! Wouldn't we just have to run!? ”
"Of course it's going to run!"
……
Ran into the depths of the forest.
The group stopped.
They were all sweating like rain, and they looked embarrassed, but they managed to escape.
"Hey, what do you think you're going to do next?" A member of the Blade Mercenary Group, Cass, a middle-aged man with yellow hair, blinked in confusion.
"What else can I do? Keep on with the mission, of course! The leader of the Evil Lan Mercenary Regiment, Aland glared at him.
Saying this, Alander's mind couldn't help but think of the charred corpse of his companion who had just been abandoned on the ground, and he couldn't help but shudder at the thought that his future might be like this
"Half of the members are dead, so you might as well go back!" The deputy leader of the Boar Mercenary Group, Lenno, is a big man who is nearly two meters tall, and among the mercenaries who died just now, the mercenary group members who belonged to him accounted for the most.
"Do you want to give up the commission, coward." Alain scoffed.
"If you are willing to stay, you can keep it yourself, anyway, my people have the same opinion as me." Lenno glanced at his companion behind him, and the members of the Boar Mercenary Group nodded in unison.
The members of the two mercenary groups glared at each other, and the atmosphere became very bad.
"I say, everyone, in such a situation, it is not convenient to act without a consensus of opinions." Barlow pushed his glasses and smiled gently, "You guys...... Do you want to discuss it again? ”
"Discuss it! We are being attacked because there are too many of us. Lenno said angrily, "We are not from the same mercenary group in the first place, and joining forces is in the way!" ”
"And what do you want to do?" Barlow asked.
"The people of our mercenary group follow me, the people of your mercenary group follow you, those who are willing to stay stay, and those who want to leave, everyone runs separately! If these monsters come together to attack us, it will only affect our companions, and we will increase our chances of survival by separating us! ”
"This ...... Not quite right. Barlow frowned, "Everyone should work together at this time, besides." What you say has the feeling that one of our teams is being used as bait......"
"Not a bait! If we run separately, they will also separate! Only then will we have a chance to defeat them individually! "And, not to mention monsters, don't forget that there are rebel patrols around here, and if we don't make a decision quickly, it's only a matter of time before they find out...... What a strange noise! ”
Lenno frowned, and he suddenly felt a strange sound around him.
It's as clear as a horn with a sound, but with a harp.
The others heard it and fell silent to listen.
Lenno suddenly remembered that he had heard this voice when he had just met those magical beasts.
"Is it ......?"
As if in response to Lenno's voice, several worm-like monsters sprang out of the grass and crawled towards them at a rapid pace.
Aland screamed in surprise and immediately grabbed his weapon to fight.
Lenno pursed his lips and shouted, "Hurry up!" ”
He fled with the rest of his companions to the exit of the forest
"Hey, don't get too close......!" Barlow hurriedly reminded, and then he turned his head to look at Nolan, only to see that the other party had left a back far away, "Hey! ”
"If you want to fight, fight yourself, we're leaving!"
Lenno and the other mercenaries simply didn't listen to him, and disappeared after a while.
Barlow stared at his back dumbfounded, smacking his lips before turning to face the worms that were approaching him behind him.
