Chapter 50: A Sudden Accident
Over the next few days, despite the Scarlet Squad's efforts to start killing monsters, the number of casualties in the camp continued to rise, and there was nothing they could do about it, not only Matthew, but also Xiang Yuanyang.
The successive deaths of the soldiers kept the camp in a heavy atmosphere, and the professionals and Rog mercenaries were constantly running back and forth between their quarters and the walls every day, and the intensity of the battle kept their physical strength and energy in a state of fatigue.
As the battle progressed to the 18th day, the day the monsters of the Taymor Heights and the Tower of Oblivion began their all-out assault, the casualties in Camp Rog increased dramatically once again.
In addition to the large number of ranged monsters, the main reason for this casualty is the addition of two flying monsters, the Stinky Raven and the Black Ripper.
The Stinky Raven is a monster in the Stone Wilderness, and on the day the monsters of the Stone Wilderness attacked, he did not participate in the war, but was arranged together with the team of the Black Ripper under the command of the 3 Dark Gold Bosses.
The Black Ripper is an upgraded version of the Stinky Raven, a monster of the same kind, just like the Shenlun Demon and the Blade Demon, which are mainly distributed in the three regions of the Dark Forest, the Black Wasteland, and the Taimo Heights.
These two monsters are directly produced by monsters called the Stinky Crow's Lair and the Black Ripper's Lair, respectively, and they reproduce at a terrifying rate, averaging a Stinky Raven or Black Ripper every 3 minutes.
When these two monsters overwhelmingly attacked the Rog camp, the pressure on the guards of the Rog camp suddenly increased dramatically, after all, they were flying monsters, and the 8-meter-high wall could be ignored by them.
The range of movement on the wall is not large, and the place where the professionals and mercenaries stand is just an extension platform built on the wall, which is enough to stand, but it is a little narrow when used to avoid the attacks of monsters, and there is no other way to face the overwhelming monsters.
After all, the Rog warriors are archers, so they are not suitable for melee attacks, and the number of monsters far exceeds the number of mercenaries and professionals, so this battle becomes extremely difficult.
However, the melee profession above the walls can also join the fight, otherwise the casualty count may increase even further.
A total of 237 Rog mercenaries and 16 pros died in this battle, mainly due to the bright gold bosses and boss monsters among the Stinky Crows and Black Rippers, as well as a ghostly flying monster called the Ghost.
Don't look at the people of the Scarlet Squad killing these monsters like chopping melons and vegetables, it's just because their strength has surpassed the professionals in this area of Camp Rog too much, and for those ordinary professionals and those mercenaries whose strength is far inferior to ordinary professionals, these bright gold bosses and bosses are undoubtedly their nightmares.
As for the ghosts, this kind of monster comes from the Tower of Oblivion, and the people of the Blood Red Squad have killed a lot of this monster in the tower, and their immunity to physical attacks is very high, and for those Roger mercenaries who are mainly bows and arrows, this type of monster is no less threatening than the bright gold boss and boss.
In fact, the number of casualties in the original camp this time should not be only so much, if it weren't for Matthew and the others of the Scarlet Squad who had been wandering around the wall and struggling to kill those boss monsters, bright gold bosses and ghosts, and Xiang Yang jumped off the city wall to kill long-range attack monsters everywhere, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But having said that, more than two hundred lives disappeared in front of everyone, and their hearts were still full of grief, if it weren't for the war going on, the burden on their bodies was still very heavy, and they really wanted to rush into the monster group to fight them!
Under Kasha's arrangement, the corpses of these mercenaries and professionals were carried to the rear of the camp one by one, and they were buried after the war.
In fact, to say that the most fortunate of all people, it is not these soldiers who are on the front line of the battle, but leaders like Kasha, since the beginning of the war, these leaders have hardly closed their eyes, the war needs Kasha to command, the logistics of the camp need to be arranged by Akara and them, to say that they are the most fortunate group of people.
Kashya's hands were on the wall, watching the corpses pass in front of her, the faces of these people were so familiar, every single one of them knew Kasha, these Rog warriors were taught by her, these professionals had also taken tasks from her, they were like their own children to Kasha, and now they were leaving one by one, which was tantamount to a white-haired man sending a black-haired man to a kisha.
Kasha is a strong woman, she has been fighting with demons since more than 300 years ago, and she should have been the one who went to Tristram Cathedral with Prince Aidan to seal Diablo, but at that time she was organizing mercenaries to fight against the sudden demons, and she couldn't get out of the way at all.
Later, when Tristram's people came to Rog's camp under the leadership of Akara, she was still responsible for guarding the group, and even the original 7 heroes of the human race had received a lot of help from Kasha.
Although the passage of time did not leave any traces on her face as a professional, it made her heart begin to become vicissitudes, in the past 300 years, she has seen too many joys and sorrows, and seen too many familiar faces disappear in her sight, but she has never fallen!
As a leader, she can't show any vulnerability in front of people, but no matter what, she is a woman, facing this corpse, although there is not a trace of expression on her face, anyone can feel the sadness in her heart.
Pulling out the flask she had brought with her and taking a big sip, Kashya turned her head and threw herself into command again, the war was not over, she must not indulge in grief, and one after another orders came from Kashya's mouth again.
When the bodies of the fallen warriors were arranged, some of the professionals and mercenaries returned to their resting places and began to seize time to regain their strength, and the members of the Scarlet Squad also returned to the Scarlet House.
Nina had already prepared the food early, and when the group returned, she immediately greeted her.
She had learned about the battle on the front lines from others, and although she was sad at the moment, she didn't want her emotions to affect anyone else.
Nina intimately greeted everyone to eat, and boiled the hot water, hoping to let everyone take a good hot bath and relieve the fatigue caused by the battle.
Xiang Yuanyang rubbed Nina's head with relief, and then dragged his tired body into his bathroom.
Lying in the bathtub, Xiang Yuanyang looked at the ceiling of the bathroom in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, and the people of the Scarlet Squad were similar to him at this time, this is a very strange phenomenon, people will always involuntarily think about it when taking a bath, but this is undoubtedly the best way to dispel the gloom in their hearts.
The intensity of the battle is increasing day by day, and the casualties are also increasing day by day, and as monsters such as Little Devils, Little Devil Wizards, Skeleton Mages, Dark Demons, and Dark Demon Wizards are joining one after another, even the people of the Blood Red Squad are feeling the pressure.
On the 27th day of the battle, something unfortunate finally happened - one of the walls of the camp was breached!
Breaking that wall was a monster called Yati, the ultimate evolution of a giant beast with a taller body and more terrifying power than the evolution of the giant beast.
After all, the walls of the camp were made of trees, and although this wood was very hard, the strength of Nayati was extraordinary, and a small part of the wall was eventually destroyed.
In order to prevent the monsters from flooding into the camp, the melee pros had to use their bodies to plug the gap, but fortunately, the consumption of these melee pros in the previous battles was minimal, and they were able to hold on for a while.
However, as the saying goes: blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.
When I saw that the monsters that poured in from the gap were cleared, and the gap was blocked by the professionals who drove over, an accident happened.
Five civilians suddenly sprang out from behind the wall, as if they were crazy, and rushed towards the wall in front of them, and the professionals and mercenaries who were not expected to speak for a while shouted and reprimanded, but they were too late to stop it.
When the five civilians rushed under the wall, they suddenly lay on the wall in front of them, and then their bodies suddenly swelled rapidly, and then, after a series of violent explosions sounded, the original position of the five civilians was completely replaced by a pile of minced meat and five huge gaps.
Everyone who saw this scene on the wall suddenly "chuckled" in their hearts, and Kashya's face was even more gloomy as if it was about to drip water, and at this time, she and the people of the Scarlet Squad not far away thought of a name - Redemption Corps.
"Damn it! Obviously I've checked it very carefully, why ...... it's still there," Kasha gritted his teeth.
Just after the appearance of this so-called "Redemption Legion", Akara and others conducted a large-scale investigation of the entire Log camp, and finally with Akara's efforts, more than a dozen suspicious people were found out.
Originally, I thought that the people of this "Redemption Army" would be somewhat restrained when they suffered this setback, but Kasha didn't expect them to take action anyway.
However, it was useless to regret it now, and Kashya immediately dispatched the melee professionals to plug these gaps, but fortunately, the previous explosion only blew a few gaps in the wall and did not cause any casualties, but even so, the defensive pressure of the camp increased sharply.
