Chapter 68: The Road to Escape
Making skins, in fact, the real effect is not big, but the skin is bloody, stained with scarlet blood, a little scary, those militia in order to scare off the jackals, but also deliberately make the fierce and vicious, there have been people who have thought of using the skin to scare off the jackals, but the effect is very low, most people are useless, Luo Lin used this trick, but also forced to use.
The resin oil he made is very useful, that kind of extremely pungent smell, it may make people dizzy when they smell it, jackals are originally creatures with sensitive noses, and they may smell the smell from afar, making them very likely, and Luo Lin is proud to refine more.
In general, Rollin's plan was simple and did not go to the redundant arrangement.
However, what made them more strange was that they originally thought that when they entered the White River Valley, they would at least encounter some gnolls who were not afraid of death, and Bugas and the others were ready to be attacked, and they were eyeing each other, but their entire team walked into the valley for about an hour, but they didn't see any signs of jackals at all.
In the woods, there are some gnolls scouts and small groups, but the number is very small, seeing that Luo Lin and others so many people don't dare to kill them, in addition to the jackals, there are other creatures living in the White River Valley, such as black bears, iron crocodiles, big goblins, etc., these creatures are scarce in number, it is difficult to pose a threat to Luo Lin and others, bear goblins are not bad, but they are too far away.
There were no large numbers of gnolls approaching, and Rollin and the others also felt strange, according to reason, it shouldn't be like this, he frowned and thought about it, and called Bugas over.
"What's next? See the Gnolls? ”
Now the whole team is about a thousand meters long, and Rollin guards the front of the team to observe the movement, while Bugas and several high-ranking militiamen are sent to the back by him.
"The wind is calm, we don't see any signs of a large army, and the gnolls in the entire White River Valley seem to have disappeared!" With a steel sword in his hand and a black horse, Bugas also thought it strange.
"What about scouts? Did you send someone into the canyon to see it? ”
Rollin narrowed his eyes, in the White River Valley, there were two deeper canyons, where there were caves of the gnolls.
"We ordered a few scouts to go and look, but now only some of the gnolls are seen, the rest are gone, and...... We found these things! As he spoke, Bugas clapped his hands and came over from behind the two militiamen carrying the corpse of a rotting gnolloin.
Rollin frowned when he saw it, because the corpse of the jackal was almost rotten and smelled foul, and the whole corpse had been cut off, and the whole body was black, and blood was dripping from the skull.
"This is what we found in front of the Gnoll Cave, there are more than twenty of them, this is one of them, and the dead are all the same!" Bugas explained.
Rollin walked over and took a look: "Not long after death!" ”
"Yes, the blood is not completely clotted, but their epidermis and internal organs are completely rotten!"
Bugas didn't know what that meant, and looked up at Rollin, who didn't necessarily know more than he did, but he still believed that the boy would have a miracle.
"It's the lich's voodoo, and they probably just left and were ripped away." Luo Lin took a deep breath and looked up at the swamp forest: "There will be no gnolls here, but that's fine, let's continue to speed up our pace, here's ...... Uruk City, the prologue battle...... Hey, the real prologue battle! ”
"You mean ......"
Bugas looked at him in surprise.
"There shouldn't be any mistake, they're not here anymore, they should all be in Uruk City now!"
After Rollin figured out what was going on, he was also a little stunned.
The town of Field was the first battle of the War of the Black Roses, and in the historical record, after the Elemental Tide erupted, the entire town was turned into an undead hell in seven days, and everyone was killed with little resistance.
Originally, Rollin also thought that Masdar would attack seven days later, so he didn't make much preparation, but who knows, the next day he encountered the living dead, which surprised him.
Yesterday, Luo Lin thought that it was because of his appearance, so the time of the incident changed, but now that he knew that there were no jackals here, he realized that it was not the event that had changed at all, but that things were originally like this.
In the previous life, the field town was controlled by Masdar, refining a large number of lichs, the whole town was blocked, no one could enter, and it was definitely impossible to record the correct time, so the time is very likely to cause errors, although the field town in the previous life was the first battle of the Black Rose War, but the real battle did not take place here, but - Uruk City.
Rollin looked up and took a deep breath, smelling a rotten smell on the tip of his nose, he reached out and rubbed his forehead painfully, thinking about what to do next.
If the army of the Great Lich Vasa is in Uruk City now, then there is no difference between them rushing over now and looking for death, the army of the Great Lich Vasa is not 10,000, nor 20,000, but 100,000, 200,000, although most of them are the living dead, but just the sea of people can drown them, not to mention, they also add a large number of gnolls and gargoyles.
Now the militia is only able to fight about 500 people, and a small number of them have been wounded in yesterday's battle, have not recovered, and are simply unable to fight on a large scale.
Bugas also thought of this and frowned.
Originally, when they were outside, they encountered a rattlesnake thief attack, and he also thought that there must be more than an army waiting for them here, but who knows, it was a cover at all.
Avrilan saw Luo Lin squatting on the ground rubbing his forehead painfully, but she also frowned, and walked over to look at him distressedly: "Young master? ”
"Huh?" Rollin looked up.
"Are you alright?" Averlane's face was worried.
Rollin took a deep breath, shook his head, stood up and said to Bugas: "It's okay, let's go first, the target is still Uruk City, we have nowhere to go except here, those thieves...... Leave them alone! ”
Bugas nodded: "Good! ”
He made no unnecessary objections.
Uruk City is a small city in the province of Liema, with a population of about 200,000 and a garrison of 30,000, and the entire city is defended by thick walls, equipped with fire oil ballistas and archers, which can kill the army under the city from a distance, although the Lich's army may be many, but it is impossible to break through the entire city in a short time.
After Bugas left, Rollin raised his head and stared at the depths of the forest, although there was no army in the swamp, Rollin was still faintly uneasy, and there were some things that he couldn't explain to Bugas at all, because now Uruk City was very likely to be besieged by the living dead.
"Are we leaving?"
Seeing that he was silent, Avella asked, she was more thoughtful and usually had more contact with Rollin, so it was easy to see what Rollin was worried about.
Luo Lin pondered for a moment and nodded calmly: "Let's go out of this canyon first, those thieves just now seem to want to prevent us from discovering that the army of jackals has been ripped away." But that's fine! Rollin patted the horse's buttocks, took a few steps forward, and said playfully: "Let's follow, after arriving at Uruk City, maybe there will be a new turnaround, Lord Martha always likes to bless those who work hard, if you don't work hard, there will definitely be no chance!" ”
Avrilan was stunned for a moment, and when she saw that he seemed to be joking, she was stunned, and hurriedly responded: "Yes, hehe, Lord Martha likes to bless people who work hard!" ”
She saw Luo Lin all preoccupied and very serious during this time, and it was rare to see him joking, but now when she saw him like this, she looked slightly surprised, and her heart became happy.
"Young Master Luo Lin, we will definitely be fine in the future, these damn gnolls and living dead will definitely not be able to kill us!"
