Chapter 843: Battle of the Wetlands
I'm afraid that no one in the entire expeditionary force could have thought of it.
As the relatively mysterious [Toad Ancestor] between the old kings and rarely appeared in the reality layer, there was actually such an incarnation hiding in the extreme depths of the wetland, secretly watching this battle.
If Toad Zu really wants to come to the wetland in person and clash head-on with the expeditionary force.
The largest battles of the Great Expedition may begin early, and the death toll will be incalculable.
But......
With "endless slackness" as one of his divinities, Toad Zu did not want to participate in this war personally.
Half-asleep.
He could see the details of the wetlands and dream of some of the consequences if He intervened in the battle.
The reality is simple.
But the dream was quite complicated, and even made Toad Zu too lazy to think about it, and just wanted to sleep well here.
Not to mention what the other old kings will do after a large-scale war breaks out, there are a few knights in this group of humans who can cause damage to him.
In the depths of the dream, images of the Underworld and Hell continue to emerge.
At the same time, Toad Ancestor also vaguely dreamed of [Gray Matter], a high-ranking existence that he was a little afraid of and unwilling to touch......
Since Toad Ancestor didn't want to interfere, but he needed a large number of human knights as a necessary sacrifice for a perfect molt...... There's only one solution.
Command the Lord of Toad under his command to launch a surprise attack on the Knights who happen to be passing through the wetlands.
However, the scale of the campaign launched with a single "medium title" is small, and even if it is completely won, the captured knights will not be able to meet the basic needs of the sacrifice.
Then, Toad Ancestor will grant permission to use [Guanbi] as a condition to envelop the atavistic lords in the nearby area, launch a larger-scale battle, and have obtained more knight sacrifices.
A raid battle shrouded in layers of intrigue has arrived.
The decoy has caught its prey, and the expeditionary force can only meet it head-on.
……
【Demon King's Castle】
"Using the superposition of multiple land deeds, as well as a certain chaotic treasure from [Toad Ancestor], a "super wetland" that can seriously suppress perception is laid.
Then use the "Toad Statue" as a bait to capture some reconnaissance teams whose perception has been severely affected.
The re-exploitation of hostages in exchange for priority does not give us much of a chance to think at all...... Is a few atavists like swallowing our entire expeditionary force? ”
Although the Great Demon Leader showed a mocking smile, he was also holding back a fire in his heart.
At present, there are three options that the expeditionary force can make.
1. Acceptance of the Campaign Treaty.
2. Do not accept the treaty, form a raid team suitable for wetland warfare, and go straight to the lair of the aliens.
3. According to the information detected so far, find out the route out of the wetland, completely abandon the hostages and leave the wetland, and focus on the expedition plan.
How to weigh the pros and cons will be left to the commander of the expeditionary force, the Great Demon, to judge.
Once an additional treaty is admitted.
It is necessary to ensure that the number of deaths or deep pollution in the battle of wetlands does not exceed the number of "missing people", otherwise such a decision will fail.
However, it seems that the Great Demon Leader has already made a decision.
Staring at the signatures of the 'four' atavistic lords in the battle book.
In the expeditionary force, the Grand Demon Commander named the names of the four elite knights and their titles.
"Knights of the Black Rose, Third Captain, Darkeye. Masfield. ”
"Plague Knights, First Captain and Head of the Plague Prevention and Control Headquarters of the Holy City, Mr. Mushroom-Dr. Ducky."
"Knights of the Wind, First Captain and Founding Priest of the Church of the Lightless, Bernal the Eyeless."
"Scarlet Knights, Second Captain - Langdon. Dr. Kasdinov. ”
The above four elite knights of the commander level immediately gathered in the hall, each exuding an extremely powerful aura, and the talent tree they had developed had reached another level.
Apparently.
Corresponding to the four atavistic lords in the Battle Book, the above four commanders will be in charge of the upcoming Wetlands Campaign.
The head of the Great Demon and the other four leaders have reached an agreement-[Acceptance Treaty]
The essence of the Great Expedition is an exploration of eternal night, a challenge to royal power, and a struggle for freedom.
Endless unknowns exist outside the city.
In the face of the endless unknown, delicate strategy is like a torch in the night, which can only illuminate part of the road but cannot erase all the darkness.
To achieve all the goals of the Great Expedition, it is necessary not only to succeed in various strategies, but also to impart a golden spirit in the Knights.
Courage, wisdom and justice are the sharpest swords of the Order.
This battle must be won, and the lost companions must be rescued!
With the determination of four commanders.
A total of 1,108 Expeditionary Knights participated, and the specific grouping will be decided by the four commanders.
For this [Wetland Battle], the Great Demon Commander only gave one request:
Get rid of the demons!
Under the leadership of the four commanders, more than 1,000 people actually came to the shore of Lake Trasimeno and threw the battle book signed by the whole army into the lake.
Grunt......
Same as before.
The messenger standing on top of the giant toad's head appeared, holding a parchment that was completely unsoaked by the lake, and smiled with satisfaction.
Followed by.
Forty-three knights, who were in a trance, feeling that their bodies had been soaked in the water of the lake, came ashore from the bottom of the lake and returned to the group.
According to the treaty, they will also be counted as part of the campaign.
"So...... Now, I'll take you to the campaign area.
Please do not resist, the process follows the rules of the world in full compliance with the rules of the world and does you no physical harm. ”
The toad at the bottom of the lake opened its large mouth hundreds of meters wide, and the depths of its dark mouth exuded a strong spatial aura, swallowing the knight on the shore.
Just before it was swallowed.
The first captain of the Windwalking Knights and the founding priest of the Church of the Lightless, [Fatherless Bernal], released the Lightless Chain, which instantly connected the souls of all the knights.
It has been ensured that in the process of being swallowed into space, it will not be scattered by turbulence.
In the blink of an eye.
The knightly forces have landed in a [Wet Ruin] with an extremely high concentration of moisture.
Boom~ Raindrops the size of beans are frantically hitting the surface of the ruined stone of the ruins, and the raindrops seem to contain toad eggs.
The current location of the knightly unit is right in the hub of the ruins.
There are a total of four "roads" with different characteristics for the knights to choose from, and they seem to correspond to the title deeds of the four lords.
At the same time, in the very center of the hub, there is also a giant toad stone monument.
There are some high-level words written on it that can blur the vision.
Without Han Dong's interpretation, the Secret Knights in the group immediately translated the text on it...... Engraved on it are the rules of the Wetlands Campaign.
The human side is required to divide into four companies and go to different title zones at the same time.
Capture the next three title zones to win the battle.
