Chapter 288: The Tree Spirit is Coming
readx;? Keman led several representatives to the gate of the barracks to ask for a meeting with the battalion commander in charge of the camp, but was stopped by guards at the gate of the camp that divided the two camps. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He also knew these guards, and he didn't give any benefits, usually Keyman was in and out of the two camps freely, but today he accidentally hit a wall, the guard told him that the battalion commander was directing the march, there was no time to see him, and there was no comment on what happened, Keyman had to take out a bag of gold coins and stuff it to the captain of the guard standing guard, only to get an answer that was difficult for him to accept.
The captain of the guard told the garrison in the Keman passage to use the time tonight to conduct a military exercise, and the team should be pulled outside the elven forest to confront the garrison outside.
Although this answer made Kaiman and several deputies feel strange everywhere, they did not know anything about military affairs and did not dare to criticize the military's reply at will. They could only return to the camp and send a group of soldiers out of the barracks through the wooden fence, and under the guidance of the officer, they walked along the cleared passage in the direction of the exit.
However, shrewd people soon discovered the anomaly, and the retreating army was moving so fast that they could not even maintain their formation, and looked more like they were running than an orderly march. Everyone knows that the Holy See is stationed here is the Aegis of War Heavy Infantry Regiment under the jurisdiction of the Knights Templar, but at this time, these heavy infantry actually left the barracks wearing only light armor and carrying their blades. The spears and so on were all left in the barracks, and through the wooden fence, it can be seen that the barracks at this time was in a mess, all kinds of materials were thrown everywhere, many of the oil lamps in the tents were not extinguished, and some of them were in a hurry to leave, and they couldn't care about helping them because of the rush of the personnel, and the tents were already on fire, causing a fire, but no one from the marching army came to put out the fire.
Where is this to participate in the exercise, it is obviously the rhythm of running for your life!
I'm afraid something is wrong!
Although he didn't know what was going on, a sense of foreboding rose in Kaiman's heart, and he not only shivered when he remembered what the young man had said about the attack of the elven army just now. Without much hesitation, he began to ask the people of the village to pack their belongings and prepare to retreat with the army, but when they finished packing their things and were about to walk out of their camp area, they realized that something was really wrong, the guards at the camp gate were gone, and they were replaced by a group of well-equipped soldiers.
When the people approached the camp gate a hundred paces, they were stopped by a row of feathered arrows shot at their feet, and opposite them was an array of heavy infantry under the cover of a huge shield, and behind the heavy infantry, a group of archers with longbows and cold flashing arrows were facing them unarmed.
In the face of the murderous army, the people did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
"What the hell is going on, why don't you let us go?"
"I want to see your chief!"
"Wasn't the Knights Templar there to protect the followers of the God of Light from infidels?"
"They are God's people, why do this do this to us?"
"Please, for God's sake, let us pass. ā
Since there were no acquaintances, even Kaiman could not get close this time, and the people could only shout to the army from a long distance, but although they said all the good and bad things, and even took out the teachings of the God of Light, the soldiers were unmoved, and did not get out of the way.
In desperation, Kaiman could only lead the people to find another way out, and soon someone found out that the army only blocked the passage inside the camp to the outside, but the open space outside the camp was not blocked, so they found axes and saws to open a few large holes in the outermost wooden fence, and everyone drilled out of the camp from the hole, ready to run out along the open space outside, although the open space outside was not completely cleared, and the roots and weeds were everywhere, which would affect the speed of travel, but it was better than being trapped here.
It's so dark outside!
Everyone's attention has been inside, and when they came out, they found that they didn't know when, the bonfires in the open space outside had been extinguished, and under the noisy background sound in the direction of the camp, there was a rustling sound in the dark night sky ahead, as if the strong wind was blowing through the trees, and the sound of shaking branches and leaves rubbing against each other, but there was no wind in the current weather.
The sound was loud and evenly paced, and it was the first time that everyone had heard it after being here for so long, and they were not only a little surprised.
"Leave it alone, run!"
A man shouted, and ran south with a torch, but he didn't take two steps before he fell to the ground with a pop. The people behind thought that he had tripped over the roots of the tree, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him down, but they were surprised to find that the man had lowered his head and had become silent, and the others were shining with torches, and their faces were suddenly bloodless, and there was an arrow stuck in the neck of the fallen person, and the arrow was deep into the flesh and penetrated from the other end, and the blood was dripping down the shaft of the arrow.
While the people were panicking and looking around for the archers, there was another sound of arrows breaking through the air, and immediately several people fell to the ground with arrows.
"Could it be that the soldiers just now caught up with the soldiers who caught up when they were caught up with their escape?"
These people had no battlefield experience, and thought that this array of arrows was the army of the Holy See in the camp catching up, ready to kill them, and immediately ran in horror to the darkness ahead.
"Bang!"
A man panicked, didn't run far, and suddenly hit his head on a thick tree trunk. He was knocked to the point that his eyes were full of stars and his nose was bleeding.
How can there be trees here?
The man touched his injured nose and wondered how he could have crashed into the trees in the open space here until the exit.
The man raised the torch in his hand, trying to see what he had hit.
In the dim light of the fire, what appeared in front of him was indeed a thick trunk, and beyond that were branches and a dense canopy. And he had found the source of the rustling sound he had just heard, the sound of the branches and leaves shaking in the canopy overhead.
The man who wiped his nosebleed thought that he was dreaming, and there was an inexplicable tree on the passage. He shone the torch in either direction, and then he was completely stunned. In front of him was not just a tree, but a group of trees, a tree. The trees were moving slowly forward at this point, and the rustling sound they had heard before now sounded clearer and louder.
"The dryads are here, everyone run... Ahh
The frightened Minfu turned his head and ran, just as he shouted a word, he felt his hair tighten, and he didn't know what was grabbed, and then his front chest and back were hit hard at the same time, as if he was hit by two rhinoceros galloping in the opposite direction, the bones in his chest quickly deformed and collapsed, and the internal organs in it immediately turned into a pile of sparse debris under the action of huge pressure, and under the compression of the rapidly shrinking body cavity, it surged outward along the passage in the body, and the last letter of the Minfu "Ah" It squirted out of his mouth almost along with the fragments of the internal organs.
