Darius took West through the woods at a rapid pace, and due to the urgency of the situation, he even kept squeezing his physical strength to use [Rush] so that he could reach it faster. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Under normal circumstances, West would never have been able to keep up with Darius, but West was a mage apprentice, and although Darius had never seen him perform powerful spells, West was always able to perform some surprising tricks.

Now, for example, although he has run like a bull, he can always follow Darius far away and not be thrown away.

Darius paused for a moment in front of a cane tree, looked at the seemingly natural but actually man-made mark on the trunk, and headed to the right, the mark left by the warrior on duty, a signal that only the garrison legionnaires could understand.

After four or five tosses, Darius stopped in front of a blue man tree. It's some distance from the Rhodes Corridor, but it's not too far, it's just at the limit of safe distance, and if you get closer, it's easy to spot. And in this location, it will be very convenient to evacuate.

He looked up, and sure enough, he saw what appeared to be a swaying figure among the branches.

Darius whistled, and soon after, a very similar whistle came from the trees—they were confirming each other, and he waited for West to arrive, and then climbed with him.

When he got there, Darius saw the two warriors who had set off with Anderson earlier, the mountain man Amuro and Laika. At this moment, they were lying on the branches of the trees, constantly monitoring the movements in the distance, Darius and West looked in this direction, and they could clearly see every move in the distance because of the college entrance examination vision.

"It's not going to be good, sir."

"How do you feel like they're getting more of them? Damn, how many tribes of lizardmen are there in these mountains? ”

Darius ignored West's repeated complaints, and his entire attention was now focused on the dense alien army in his sight.

"Laika, Amuro, when did you first notice their movements?"

"Captain Darius, it should be after sunrise, the lizardmen have been collecting stone and wood here every day, and processing them on the spot, but after sunrise today, they didn't act, and Anderson guessed that they should be stocked up at that time, and we confirmed Anderson's guess after observing it for a while, so we asked him to come back and report it."

Darius listened to Amuro's report as he watched the palpitating sight ahead.

Since he had only come to scout not long ago, he himself could clearly feel the changes in the lizardmen, countless adult lizardmen covered the retina of Darius, the wide Rhodes corridor was now like a green carpet, dyeing the canyon that had been born in troubled times into another world, they had stopped mining, most of the lizardmen did not have weapons in their hands, they carried even more terrifying things in groups - huge logs and stones, That was the biggest thing they relied on to attack the thick walls of a human fortress.

"Amuro, I heard that Deemmons said that you are also an old soldier, I don't know much about them, you see the center of their camp, the high platform made of wood, what is that for?"

Amuro looked in the direction of Darius's finger, between the countless low sentry forts and the lizardman crypt, a high platform made of pine and square stone slabs was very conspicuous, countless pine trees were inserted straight into the foundation, and the square stone slabs were placed on top of it, forming a stone platform suspended in mid-air, and several strangely shaped totems were placed there according to a strange formation, full of wild and primitive atmosphere.

"That's the altar, Captain."

Amuro thought for a moment, and then explained: "The lizardmen are a physically strong, but mentally low group, of course, the low intelligence is only relative to us humans, if it is compared to other alien races, the lizardmen are definitely insidious and cunning, so the lizardmen are rich in warriors, but rarely give birth to spellcasters." ”

"But few does not mean no, due to their huge number, after a period of time, some young beasts with spell potential will be born in their group, no matter which tribe gives birth to such young beasts, it will be cultivated by the best quality of all tribes, and the elders will hand over the most precious inheritance to them, and eventually they will grow into lizardman sacrifices, which are extremely dangerous guys, because lizardmen sacrifices not only have the innate strong physique of lizardmen, but also have terrible spell-casting abilities, our entire team, It is estimated that you can fight with the captain. ”

The old warrior looked serious, he was not the kind of man who would compliment others, so he said that only Darius could fight, then he must have thought so in his heart.

"The altar was built by the priests to enhance the effect of the spells, although we don't know much about the principle, but according to the older generation and our experience, with the help of totem poles, these sacrificial spells will be more effective."

As soon as Amuro's voice fell,
