Mangrove Ridge is located in an isolated environment, connected only by narrow roads in the mountain pass, and it can be quite troublesome to get in and out unless you can fly. Mangrove Ridge, on the other hand, is surrounded by woods and mountains, all of which are uninhabited areas, with the only exception being Echo Canyon. Of course, this place has also not been developed, but it has only changed a little recently when a group of people have moved in.

The two areas are adjacent but not contiguous, separated by dense mangrove forests, and it takes a long circle to walk from one place to the other on land.

Because it is impossible for humans to walk through mangrove forests, even larger animals cannot do so, and even there are very few birds living in the forest. Although it is possible to forcibly clear a road in the forest with the use of machinery, it is time-consuming and laborious to do so, and the movement is not small, and it cannot be used as a means of sneak attack around the rear.

At least in the eyes of outsiders who don't know the truth, but in fact, a few locals in Mangrove Ridge know that there is a very secret path between Echo Canyon and their hometown, which was specially led by the old man Toronso in order to prepare for the retreat.

The road is usually so well camouflaged that ordinary people are completely unaware of it, and few people know about its existence. However, once known to the outside world, it is easy to make a huge hole in the originally sturdy defense of Mangrove Ridge.

As the veteran on the lookout could see, a group of [rabbits with special coats] appeared in the wide flat land unconsciously, as if they had come out of a mangrove forest, but in fact there were no rabbits in the forest, only creatures with rat-like bodies could move safely inside.

What's more, the hair color of those rabbits is so weird that people feel hairy when they see it.

"Contact others to get ready for battle. The uncle held the binoculars and carefully observed, and said to his partner in a deep voice, "I always feel that there is something wrong with those rabbits, and now the situation is right, I would rather waste ammunition than pretend not to see it." It's a big deal, just think of it as a hunt on a larger scale. ”

"Are you worried that those rabbits are controlled by humans and other things, and they can only be used for reconnaissance and espionage at most, so why is it necessary to be so nervous?"

The young man next to him also saw the inconspicuous purple on the flat ground with his naked eye at this moment, it was obvious that these rabbits were moving in groups, but even if they gathered in large numbers, they were still just rabbits.

The veteran also felt that he seemed to be a little nervous, because no one had been in the depths of the mangrove forest to investigate, so there were many secrets hidden, and it was not entirely impossible that some special animals lived inside, maybe that group of rabbits was one of them?

"Maybe it's really me thinking too much. The uncle put down the binoculars and scratched his head and sighed, picked up the can and ate dinner, "But it's always an anomaly, and it's better to keep an eye on those rabbits until they disperse on their own." ”

If it's really rabbits that live deep in the mangrove forest, who knows what kind of jaw-dropping skills they have, or what is it that drives them out of the forest?

So the uncle leaned on the railing and watched the rabbits while blowing the wind and eating, but until the sun went down, these little furry creatures never showed any abnormality, and they moved back and forth a few times, just looking for weeds, plants, etc. As darkness gradually enveloped the land, the view became very poor, and the uncle eventually lost interest and patience in observing the wildlife, turned on the searchlight and began to focus on a small area near the walled city.

After all, he couldn't see it from afar.

The young partner assisted the veteran in turning the bulky searchlight, and the dazzling light swept around the walled city several times, leaving nothing but stone and dirt. This boring repetitive work that goes on until the shift changes, and reasoning can easily lead to fatigue and impatience, but today the situation seems to be a little different.

The uncle who ignored the danger and lit a cigarette for himself was about to dust off the ashes, but his hand suddenly stopped, frowned and tilted his head: "Hey boy, did you hear any strange sounds?"

A bonfire party is being held in the walled city at the moment, and the coalition soldiers who have scavenged a lot of meat, alcohol, and other things from the deserted town are eating and drinking there with the surrendered defenders in the name of "promoting friendship", and many people are even screaming like wolves and singing some seriously out of tune. In this case, you can hear something outside the city, but you can't describe it with good ears.

"Uncle, it's time for a shift change soon, are you going to deliberately find something for corns to do?"

The young man's face was full of disapproval, but it didn't take long for him to quickly retract himself and change to a solemn expression, for he also heard some kind of rustling sound, which was getting louder and louder.

The veteran quickly turned the searchlight to find the source of the sound, where he saw many rabbits moving unhurriedly, but these little things were normal during the day, and when they were illuminated by the searchlight at night, their eyes glowed red, like a bloodthirsty beast hidden in the dark.

"Pull the alarm, quick!"

The bad premonition finally became a reality, and the uncle subconsciously made the most correct decision while his heart was shocked, that is, to let his partner warn others. Although in the current state, even if the alarm is sounded, the troops will not be able to respond in time, but it is better than doing nothing.

"Well, no need uncle, I don't think it's necessary anymore. ”

Accompanied by the strange answer of the young man, there were gunshots and frightened shouts in the open space in the center of the walled city, and the uncle hurriedly looked back and found that there was an extra monster more than three meters tall in the banquet hall at some point, with an appearance similar to that of a human but the whole body was naked, the hair on the head was replaced by flames, and the clothes on the whole body were only a fat (divine beast) second...... Ahem, this doesn't count.

There are many versions of the Great Demon King who destroyed the armies of the empire and the alliance in a short period of time, and there are many versions of the version that has been circulated among the people after various irresponsible exaggerations and processing, but the two characteristics of hair is flame and fat (divine beast) wear twice will definitely not change. Therefore, although the uncle had never seen it with his own eyes, he still recognized the person by his appearance and the coercion of his terrifying aura.

It's over—that's the only thought left in the veteran's mind, but it's quickly swallowed up by the flood of fear.

The resistance in the open space seemed to Rogge more like a game, with panicked prey attacking indiscriminately with weapons that couldn't even pierce the boss's skin, and many of them didn't shoot accurately, and in the darkness and chaos, they knocked down many of their own people.

"It's really cute, a human creature. Rogge said with a smile on his face, raised his hand and shook it casually, and a certain officer who was trying to organize the soldiers not far away [sucked] over, pinched the other party's neck and lifted him high into the air, "You dare to fight the enemy even if you can't tell who is strong and who is weak, you haven't perished until now, is it really because your fertility is very strong?"

The officer tried to say something with his mouth open, but the physical pain and mental pressure were all in vain. However, just as Rogge was about to kill this person in a more bloody and even curious way, the other party's right arm suddenly moved in a small amplitude.

Flames, metal shards, and human blood and mosaics suddenly stuck to the surface of the shield that Rog had held up in an instant, without affecting him in any way. The officer pulled the grenade on his waist at the last moment of his life, which may not have hurt the enemy, but it was enough to answer Rogge's question.

If you don't fight, you die, and if you fight, of course humans will choose the latter, at least there is a slim chance and hope of victory, isn't it?

It's a pity that Rog didn't find it interesting at all, he was looking forward to seeing humanity completely crazy because of panic and despair, and really showing bravery and integrity would make the big devil feel sick and disgusted.

"The ant should look like an ant, obediently lying on the ground curled up and shivering while praying that the soles of the strong man's shoes will not inadvertently step on his head, and even the mantis arm is not allowed to be used as a car!" Rogge didn't make any moves, and casually slapped away the dust that didn't exist on the surface of his body, as if he was patting off the bad luck that the officer who had just received the lunch box was trying to paste on himself, "You have five minutes to escape now, and as long as you are not found by Yu, you can live." How, for those of you who dare to take the initiative to show disrespect, Yu Ke is very generous. ”

Hearing this, everyone immediately dispersed, and before they resisted frantically because of the sudden appearance of Rogge and the terrifying appearance and terrifying coercion that announced the imminence of death all the time, now that they heard that the other party was going to let them go, the courage generated by despair in their hearts suddenly dissipated without a trace.

"Don't listen to that guy's nonsense, the outside of the city is surrounded by a large group of monsters, and escaping unorganized will only send you to death!"

However, the veteran's shouts on the lookout did not reach the ears of his comrades, because the nearby area was filled with chaotic shouts and gunshots, and his voice was naturally no match for the boss who used the amplification spell, and the only one who really heard his warning was his partner.

The young man was a little curious about what kind of skills the rabbits outside had, and was about to turn the searchlight to see the situation outside the city, when the veteran suddenly dragged him down violently, and then a dark blue ball of light flew at a rapid speed, making the searchlight snap and annihilate into smoke in the wind, leaving only half of the scaffold to announce its original existence.

"Do you know that the sound of insects is sometimes very pleasant, and sometimes it is very noisy?"

The moment his eyes made contact with Rogge's eyes, the veteran only felt that his whole soul was going to freeze, his cold body couldn't even move a finger, and his head was completely blank. It was only then that the uncle admired the officer who had detonated the grenade before, not because of his behavior, but because the other party still had the strength to make a move in that state.

The veteran and his partner were not killed by Rogge, he seemed to have lost interest in the object of his own torture and killing, closed his eyes and quietly listened to the sudden screams and howls of the crowd who ran out of the city, as if he were seriously enjoying a stage performance.

After a few minutes, the sounds fell silent, and only the campfire was still crackling in place. Just when the uncle thought that it would be his turn next, he suddenly saw someone staggering back to the city by the light of the fire, and there were quite a few of them.

The other party just looks like a human, but in fact it has become a monster with a green face and fangs and barbs on its back, wearing all kinds of military uniforms, most of which are damaged to a certain extent as if they have been bitten by some kind of animal, and some of the surfaces are even stained with blood, which is a very classic zombie shape.

It's just that among this group of rickety zombies, there are a few people who walk in a normal posture, and what surprises the veterans even more is that most of the people in this group are wrapped in cloaks, except for one guy, who is dressed as an ordinary magician, and looks very outstanding.

"Oh, you're here. Merlin, is this what you call the closest town to the mountain pass?"

Rogge was grilling a chicken over the bonfire at this time, and asked in a very casual tone without looking back, as if he was greeting old friends who had come to the banquet.

"It's a great honor to have Lord Rogge remember the names of my ants! As long as you keep your troops in control of the area, no one in Mangrove Ridge will try to escape unless they are in a plane. ”

The ordinary man dressed as a magician nodded and put on a look of respect that bordered on flattery, and the veteran on the lookout couldn't help but feel a pang of disdain. It's a pity that the uncle can't do anything now, otherwise he really wants to get away with it, and the hero raises his rifle and blooms a flower on the other party's head.

This guy is obviously taking refuge in the Demon King, and even attracting these monsters is also a ghost he did from it, and the veteran can guess what is going on even without careful scrutiny, and he is naturally very angry in his heart.

"Very good, Yu still likes ants who know the general thing. Let's take note of your exploits this time for the time being, and then reward them after the rest of the army sweeps through the entire Mangrove Ridge. Also, there are two bed bugs over there that aren't quite dead yet, which of you is going to deal with them?"

Looking at the group of zombies on the ground looking up at the lookout, the veteran knew that his final moment was finally coming.
