Chapter 2: Quicksand, Quicksand!

"That's Solid the Devourer," the Sandfury Troll Archer on the watchtower screamed in horror at the sight of the giant xenomorph leader coming out from behind the swarm. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Devourer Solid's dense barbed muscles and feet supported its massive body as it approached quickly.

Kazik had already slain many bugs, and the corpses of xenomorphs were piled up around him. Kazik heard the screams from the watchtower and spotted the massive figure of Solid the Devourer in the swarm.

"Zarelis, let the archers aim at that big bug!"

Upon receiving the order, all the Troll Hunters turned their attention to the Xenomorph Leader. Dense barrage of arrows struck Solid, but it was mostly resisted by the sturdy carapace, causing only a negligible amount of damage.

"No, you can't let it get close, these improvised watchtowers can't withstand a few hits from it. Gotta lure it away," seeing Solid the Devourer, Kazik understood that the swarms were there for revenge, and he underestimated the madness of these xenomorphs. The insect he killed was the same as the one in front of him, but the one by the pond was much smaller. He killed the larvae of Solid the Devourer.

"Zerelis, now I order you to be the head here. Everyone, obey his commands. ”

"Captain Kazik, what are you going to do?"

"I'm trying to get this big bug away. Seize the opportunity, and evacuate as soon as possible, the madness of these bugs is beyond our expectations. ”

"That's dangerous, Captain, I'll go, right? You leave with the warriors. "Zerelis came down from the watchtower.

"I'm measured, Zarelis, and you're going to protect these warriors and take them back to Zulfarak. I'll be fine. ”

Kazik pushed Zerelis away, rushed into the swarm, killed several xenomorphs in succession, and came to the vicinity of Solid the Devourer.

"Hey, big bug, do you know this?" Kazik pulled out the xenomorph beetle pendant that Sur had made for him, held it in his hand and shook it towards Solid.

It was from its larvae, it felt the familiar breath, it recognized the beautiful patterns on the carapace. These trolls have stripped off the carapace of their children! Solid had been consumed by the rage, and there was only one thought in its mind now, to shred the troll in front of it, to shred him!

Seeing that he had succeeded in attracting the wrath of Solid the Devourer, Kazik quickly turned and fled westward, trying to lure the bugs away. Kazik managed to flee through the swarm with the troll's athletic pace, dodging the xenomorph attacks. Solid the Devourer gave hot pursuit, screaming and ordering his minions to stop the guy who was on the move. The swarm didn't stop the trolls, but they did hinder the xenomorph leader.

The troll who killed his own larvae was right in front of him, and he couldn't catch it for a long time. And its xenomorph minions always stood in their way. Once again, his own minions blocked his way, and watching the troll run away again, the enraged leader of the swarm raised his scythe-like arms and feet and slashed the poor worm that stood in its way in two. The swarm was frightened by the madness of their leader, and quickly scattered to dodge.

The moon hung high in the sky, and the moonlight reflected in Tanaris. In the desert, a troll runs for his life. Feeling the farther and farther away from the quicksand sentry post behind him, the watchtower will gradually disappear into the night. And the swarm has been chasing after each other, gradually approaching. The sentry should be safe, but how will Kazik himself get out?

In front of you is a big cliff! I don't know how long he ran, but he actually ran to the edge of the desert with the swarm! Kazik knows this place. Below the cliff is the Angolo crater, where the old trolls have told. There's plenty of food, there's sweet springs, there's all the good things a sandfury troll can imagine. If you go all the way south and follow the edge of the desert, you may be able to find the entrance to Angolo. Kazik thought the same thing and led his team to explore. The nest of corruption, the nest of these disgusting bugs, is blocking the way south.

Now that the road ahead has been sealed, flee north again? Not to mention that that would only lead the swarm to Zulfarak, and Kazik didn't have enough stamina to escape.

Seeing Kazik stop, knowing that the trolls had no way to escape, Solid the Devourer roared loudly, and the long chase finally came to an end.

Kazik inhaled deeply, calming his rapid breathing. Seeing the xenomorph leader approaching quickly, he clenched his sword tightly with both hands and greeted him.

Rampage! Trolls' desperate fight.

The leader of the swarm swung its wrists and feet and slashed at the troll. The xenomorph's attack with full strength made Kazik dare not make a hard connection, and he rolled on the spot, narrowly dodging. Just came to the side of the leader of the swarm, the long sword stabbed sharply, and the hard carapace protected the body of the insect, and returned in vain. At this moment, the slash of the xenomorph insect that had turned around struck again, and the troll hurriedly parried, and the huge force almost knocked the long sword in his hand away. The strength of this xenomorph insect is too great, and the carapace on its body is also very strong, so it firmly protects the whole body, and it can't hurt it at all.

To defeat Solid the Devourer, Kazik knew he had to find his weakness. But in a hurry, what can be done? The Sandfury Troll had already felt the sword in his hand grow heavy. The long distance and fierce fighting caused Kazik's physical strength to be rapidly depleted. Dodging the Devourer's attack once more, Kazik felt like he was reaching his limit. He knew that if death was inevitable, he would bring his enemies with him.

Keeping his mind set and dodging the Devourer's attacks, Kazik kept retreating towards the edge of the cliff. When there was no way back, the Sandfury Troll Overseer did not dodge in the face of the massive wrists and feet slashed by the leader of the xenomorphs, and quickly put the sword at his side. "Bang", the wrist and foot struck the long sword, almost shattering the long sword. Withstanding the huge blow, Kazik firmly grasped the wrists and feet of the xenomorph leader with both hands, and his face was hideous, "Greet death with me!" With that, he used his last strength to jump off the cliff. Solid the Devourer screams in terror as he is carried off a cliff by the Troll Overseers. The swarm quickly came to the edge of the cliff, only to see their leader grabbed by the troll's wrist and foot, and one worm and one troll in the air, falling downward, and the screams of despair kept coming.

After a long wait, until the screams of Solid the Devourer were no longer heard, the swarm slowly retreated.

After the Kazik Overseers deflected a large number of xenomorphs, the troll pressure on the quicksand outpost was greatly reduced.

"Shandar, Kenos, with men, retreat."

"There's only so little bug left here, why do you have to evacuate?"

"Shandar, obey the order, this is the captain's order! This is the opportunity that the captain has won for us. We don't know if the swarm will come back. ”

Eventually, the trolls abandoned the quicksand sentry and retreated in the direction of Zulfarak. At the outposts, they lost many warriors, and their Overseers lost their message.

Two days later, Zerelis led the remaining trolls outside of Zulfarak, where they met Sur the Sandwalker.

"Zarelis, you've withdrawn? Shandar, Kenos, why didn't you see the captain? ”

"There were too many bugs and it was crazy, and the quicksand sentry was overwhelmed by the swarm in just a moment, and we didn't have to resist for long. The captain led the swarm away, and we had a chance to escape. ”

"You just left the captain and fled back on your own?" Hearing that something had happened to Kazik, Sur yelled at Zerelis, "How can you leave the captain alone. ”

"That's enough, Thur. No one wants to see the captain have an accident. Zerelis did everything he had to do. It's you," Sandar looked at Sur, and the few troll warriors behind him, "and that's the reinforcement you're looking for?" ”

"Reinforcements? There are no reinforcements. This is the fighter I found who was willing to follow us. ”

"No reinforcements?" The rest of the trolls gathered around. "How can there be no reinforcements?"

"I went back to Zulfarak and met with Chief Ukiz, told him that the biters had attacked the quicksand outpost, and asked him to send troops to help. Chief Ukiz refused, saying that his troops needed to defend Zul Farak, and doubting the authenticity of the swarm attack on the quicksand outpost, saying that there had never been a large-scale attack on trolls by xenomorphs. He also said that if we provoked the xenomorph worms and caused the swarm to retaliate, then we would bear the consequences. ”

"Don't Chief Ukez know? We've been fighting xenomorphs, protecting the water we depend on. ”

"Don't call him Chief again, he's ruthlessly abandoned us, Ukiz. Sandtop betrayed us! The irascible Sandal roared.

When the trolls heard this, they were even more furious, "He betrayed the Kazik Overseers. It's no wonder that Lord Overseer has always been dissatisfied with Zulfarak, and has always been dissatisfied with Ukiz, who is such a despicable person. ”

"So what do we do now? Zarelis, we fought bloodily and all we got was ruthless abandonment. ”

"Shandal, Kenos, and Sur, I'm not going to fight for Ukez anymore. Our captain, the Troll Overseer, I believe he's still alive, and I'm going to find him. And you, troll warriors, who of you want to come with me? ”

"Me."

"And me."

"Let's go together!"

Led by Zerelis, the trolls returned to the quicksand sentry once more. They have the reluctance and anger of being betrayed by the Troll Chieftain, but also the hope and expectation that the Overseers of the Sandfury Trolls are still alive, and that Kazik will lead them again.

The quicksand sentry was attacked by a swarm and was almost completely destroyed. It's littered with xenomorph bugs and troll corpses. The trolls were evacuated in a hurry, and the dead trolls were not buried. When the Sandfury Trolls return to the outpost, it has become a haven for vultures and hyenas. Driving away the scavengers, Zarelis and they gathered the bones of the dead. These unrecognizable limbs, which have been gnawed, will be gathered and cremated.

"When the swarm attacked, the Overseers gave us a chance to evacuate, and he led the xenomorphs away. All we know is that he went west from the sentry. ”

"Then keep looking west."

"In the West, the edge of the desert is a big cliff!"
