Chapter 173: Diablo III.18
Out of the poisonous sand dunes, what greeted Gu Cheng's eyes was a wasteland like the Gobi Desert, which looked particularly eerie under the dark red sky.
"Elena! It's Captain Elena! The deputy standing beside the middle-aged captain Kag pointed to the hill in the distance and exclaimed.
There, a group of heavily armed fighters was forming a circle with weapons in hand, enclosing some of the wounded fighters in the center. Around them, a group of ugly-looking demonic monsters are surrounding them.
Most of these infernal demons are red-skinned, with a pair of wings on their backs, and they look like unevolved chimpanzees, with bared fangs, fierce eyes, and hideous faces.
"Do you know those people?" Gu Cheng asked.
"The female warrior at the head is our regimental captain Elena, who is in charge of this breakout operation. It's a pity that we all underestimated the number and strength of the Hell Demons, which led to the failure of the breakout operation, and the Hell Demons scattered the troops instead. ”
Gu Cheng's eyes looked at the crowd again, the female warrior led by her looked about thirty years old, her figure was more burly than ordinary women, and she held a two-handed sword to directly split a rushing demon from it, but she didn't even frown.
The female warriors wore a mix of leather armor and iron armor, or because they were using heavy weapons, they simply gave up their speed, so the iron armor looked even thicker than the male warriors around them.
The red-skinned demons attacked again, and Karg immediately beckoned the warriors to rush with him.
The red-skinned demon wearing a horned helmet yelled at his companion behind him, then brandished a huge axe and approached the trapped warrior in the center, shouting in demonic language, "Kill them, leave the woman!" ”
The red-skinned demon leader swept over several female warriors in the field with lewd and lustful eyes, his voice cold and hoarse, and a little strange urgency. These demons have an almost natural greed and perversion towards women.
Hearing the leader's order, the red-skinned demons around him suddenly had bloodlust on their faces, and their mouths opened slightly, as if they were smiling obscenely.
"Hold on! Kag and the others have successfully broken through the encirclement, as long as the news is brought back to the stronghold, the captain will definitely bring people to support us! Elena looked at the tired warriors and cheered them on in a loud voice, arranging tactics at the same time: "Nasika, you and Lena stand back, take care to help me deal with that leader!" Ron, Zenas...... You guys drag the minions around you and buy us time! ”
"Yes!"
"No problem!"
……
"Be careful, everyone! Protect the wounded warriors! Elena reminded again.
The palms of the warriors' clenched weapons were covered with sweat, and the strongest of them were Elena and those she had "named", but they only added up to eleven or two, but the demons that surrounded them started in the triple digits. Even if Elena can defeat ten with one, she can't change the general trend.
"Kill them!" The red-skinned demon leader waved his hand, and the red-skinned demons around him suddenly slaughtered the warriors with a fierce face.
"Bang-"
A gunshot rang out, and an explosion and bullet exploded directly in the group of demons that rushed over, and several demons led by it were blown up to the ground and embarrassed, and the red-skinned demon who was directly hit was even blown off half of his face.
"Reinforcements?" Yelena was overjoyed, and her eyes looked into the distance, but she only saw a few dozen people led by Kag. The joy was suddenly extinguished by a basin of cold water, and turned into anxiety and worry. Although she didn't know why Kag, who had broken through, came back with people like this, she chose to live and die with them, or if the news was sent...... But with this amount of strength, it is undoubtedly not much different from sending them to death.
"Bang bang bang-"
Immediately afterward, another burst of gunfire rang out.
Yelena didn't know what kind of magic it was, but it was certainly not the means of Karg and the others, and obviously, the other party did bring "reinforcements".
Then, Elena saw two black figures flash and rush into the demon group, especially the petite figure, and the killing intent even enveloped her. I saw two daggers in her hand, one red and one black, spinning and flying, and those red-skinned demons who were hit by "magic" were killed one after another under her series of attacks.
"Captain Elena!" Kag led the warriors to fight their way out of the demon group with the strong combat power of Gu Cheng and Mo and came to Yelena.
Yelena frowned slightly, and said hurriedly: "Why are you back again!" Didn't you send the information about this operation back to the base? ”
Karg replied, "The Poisonous Desert is not easy to walk, and it is impossible to penetrate from the Poisonous Desert back to the Grand Canyon. And we can't just leave you alone, so what's the difference between us and deserters! ”
"Bastard! Don't you know how important this information is? "Yelena was very disappointed and even a little angry at Kag's judgment. But it was a foregone conclusion that Kag would lead the team back to the battlefield without permission, and now was not the time to hold him accountable.
Yelena looked at Gu Cheng and Mo, who were still fighting in the demon group, and asked, "Who are the two of them?" Fighters of the Kaltim Expeditionary Force? ”
While cooperating with the warriors to defend against the demons, Kag answered Yelena's question: "They are adventurers, and it seems that they came here to rescue a group of humans who have been captured by the demons of hell and sent to Burning Hell. They also told us that the poisonous desert was dangerous, that if you stayed in it for a long time, you would get poisoned, and they also walked in it for days without being able to get out......"
Kag relayed what Gu Cheng told him to Yelena in an "exaggerated" way, as if he wanted to reduce his "crime" and as if he wanted to hide his true intention of returning here.
"Roar-" The red-skinned demon roared frantically, staring at Gu Cheng who was killing in the crowd. Many red-skinned demons tried to rush at him, but with the extremely strong melee ability of the Twins with spear fighting skills, most of the demons couldn't even do it at close range. In rare cases, even if they get close, they will be taken away by Gu Cheng in an instant.
"Watch the back!" The ink directly in front of Gu Cheng threw a red dagger at him with a "swoop", reminding him that there were too many enemies behind him.
Gu Cheng turned around and directly slammed the Fire Escape Hao Fireball Technique towards the group of monsters, directly blasting the approaching demons away.
Yelena looked at Gu Cheng's strange way of fighting and smacked her tongue: "Is he a mage?" But...... How can you rush directly to melee combat like barbarians and paladins? ”
Karg pushed a demon back, slew it, and then turned around and said, "I don't know, I just know that both of them are strong." But in terms of combat style, it is different from any class we know. ”
"Anyway, it's good to have reinforcements."
