Chapter 281: Steppenwolf Strikes
Demonic towns, especially those that are relatively small, are almost all in tatters, and Leon is not surprised, but it is the first time that he has seen such a depressed town as Batty.
The scale of Batti Town is actually not too small, barely medium-sized, and there are hundreds of large and small houses at a glance, and the appearance of some houses is still good, and its owner also has some assets.
When Leon arrived, the town of Batty was almost empty, and the streets of Nuoda were full of debris, and there was no one to be seen.
"Is this town abandoned?" Leon looked around, trying to find someone who could catch his breath and ask about the situation.
"No, according to the information I've gathered, there are quite a few people in this town." Betty frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly turned her head to look at Leon: "It can't be that you are going the wrong way again, right?" "There's a criminal record here.
"Look at that." Li Ang pointed his finger upward, not bothering to explain.
Looking in the direction pointed by Li Ang, it was a small three-story building, which looked a little neater than the other houses around, and the door was not full of clutter, and it seemed that someone had cleaned it up.
Above the entrance of the small building hangs a sign: Batty Town Government Affairs Center.
The door of the government center was open, and the voice of someone talking could be heard inside, and Leon and Betty looked at each other and walked inside.
It's quite lively in this town center, and it's full of people, all of them are fierce, but the demons are all vicious, and there is nothing strange about it.
The arrival of Leon and Betty did not attract much attention, and the last few people looked back at them and did not pay attention to them.
The people in this are divided into two distinct groups, one group with few people and facing outward, and the other group with many people, standing in a bunch of mess, and only one person standing at the front, it seems that it should be led by a group of people outside.
"We can help you defend the town of Barty, but you won't be paid enough!" The leader said loudly.
After listening to it for a while, Leon could figure out what was going on, it turned out that these people were mercenaries, and they were invited by Batty Town to deal with the Steppenwolf pack, but they temporarily raised the price, and the two sides made a fuss.
"Let's go." Leon had no interest in listening, the matter here had nothing to do with him, his target was only the leader of Steppenwolf, the Steppenwolf named Scar.
It's no wonder that the people here have run away, Steppenwolf has attacked this town many times, but it has been repulsed several times before, but as we all know, Steppenwolf is the most obvious creature, they will never give up, they will definitely attack again, and the scale will definitely get bigger and bigger, until the town is completely submerged, why not run at this time, waiting to become Steppenwolf's rations?
Now that he already knows that Steppenwolf will attack, Leon is too lazy to look for it, and he may not be able to find it, so it is better to find a place to live and wait for the target to come to the door.
Batty Town is not completely free of demons, human beings, especially older people, are often reluctant to leave their homes, and the same is true for demons, and some older demons have also chosen to stay, so that this town finally has some shops open, or they can only sleep on the streets.
The Steppenwolves didn't let Leon wait too long, and at midnight, with a long wolf howl, a murderous aura instantly enveloped Barty Town.
There is no moon in the abyss, but the second abyss always hangs in the air, and when the sun sets, the second abyss acts as the moon, reflecting the orange sunlight and shining on the land.
The imminent battle has not yet begun, but the crescent moon turned into the second layer of the abyss seems to have predicted the upcoming tragic battle, and quietly hid in the thick dark clouds and did not dare to show its head.
The pitch-black world provided more convenience for Steppenwolf's attack, and on the vast earth, there were only bursts of faint footsteps that flickered and disappeared, and if you didn't pay attention to it, you wouldn't hear it at all, and even if you did, you would think it was an illusion.
Leon stood on the top of the government center and watched all the movements around him, but to his surprise, even with his strength, he couldn't accurately capture the movements of each Steppenwolf, and their ability to hide their bodies was admirable.
"Don't panic, everyone! Hold your place! The mercenary leader shouted loudly.
As time passed, the faint sound of footsteps gradually approached, getting closer and closer.
Perhaps after waiting for a long time for the start of the big war, the second layer in the dark clouds slowly poked its head out, wanting to see what was going on.
There was a glimmer of light on the pitch-black earth that didn't see the fingers, and the mercenaries in Barty Town finally saw the Steppenwolf surrounding them clearly, and suddenly all the mercenaries couldn't help but gasp, it was too much!
Leon stood at the top of the highest government center in Batty, but with his eyes, he couldn't see the end of the Steppenwolf pack, and finding the trace of Scar in this endless sea of wolves was undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.
The wolves did not rush to attack, but slowly pressed over, walking slowly step by step, so that the mercenaries guarding Batty Town had not yet started fighting, and they were all sweating profusely, which showed how much pressure they had.
Woo~~~~ There was another long wolf howl, and the originally calm Steppenwolf pack suddenly became restless, revealing extremely vicious expressions one by one, ready to choose someone to devour.
"What are you doing?! Who dares to run Lao Tzu chopped him first! The mercenary leader shouted at the few mercenaries who were hiding at the back, and if they hadn't been reprimanded, they would have seemed to want to turn around and run away.
The mercenary leader wants to say that he is not afraid is obviously false, he actually wants to run more than anyone else now, but the little reason left makes him try his best to keep his composure, in the face of endless Steppenwolf, it is useless to run, unless you can run faster than them, it is useless to run faster than your companions, there are too many Steppenwolves, and there are not only a few, but Steppenwolf is famous for his stamina, how can he run to win.
And now Batty Town has been surrounded by the Steppenwolf pack, where can he run, the only way to go, is to fight a battle, and he obviously can't do it on his own, he can't let his subordinates mess up, whether he can get out or not depends on them, as for guarding Batty Town to earn those commissions, the mercenary leader is already completely hopeless, and it would be good to get out alive.
The Steppenwolves are like well-trained soldiers, seemingly chaotic, but in fact they are attacking the town of Batty.
The town of Batty had no decent walls, just a simple wooden fence, which was as fragile as a blank sheet of paper under the onslaught of the Steppenwolves, and was torn to shreds in an instant.
The mercenaries are mainly guarding the two ends of the streets in the center of Batty, and there are hundreds of people on each side, but this number is simply not enough for the endless Steppenwolf pack, not even enough to stuff the teeth.
Li Ang didn't care at all whether these mercenaries were fighting or running, he only cared about his mission goal: "Did you find it?" This is a question for Betty.
"No, how can I find so many wolves!" Betty was very depressed: "It's all your fault for this task." ”
What the hell can you blame me! While scolding, I still have to obediently look for the traces of the scar, if I can't find it, I will have to be hung on the wall when the time comes.
Leon was very puzzled, just with the offensive of this group of Steppenwolves, how did they hold it before, did it depend on their minds?
"Hey, hey, look over there!"
"What are you doing in a fright? Found out? ”
"No, there's someone over there."
"Oh." Li Ang, who originally wanted to look back, lost interest in an instant, there are people, there are people, what he is looking for is a wolf, not a person.
"Take a look!" Betty took Leon's head, which was bigger than her entire body, and turned to the side.
By the light of the moon, Li Ang vaguely saw a carriage in the distance trapped in the wilderness wolf pack, and around the carriage, there were seven or eight demon guards who looked quite strong to protect the carriage and walk forward with difficulty, but the speed was very slow, almost unable to move an inch.
For the carriage besieged by the Steppenwolf pack, Li Ang didn't care at all, whether the people above were dead or alive had nothing to do with him, and he didn't know if it was because of the relationship between the incarnation of demons or the other party was a demon, in short, Li Ang didn't have any mercy here, and there was no psychological pressure if he didn't save him.
Just as he was about to withdraw his gaze and continue looking for Scar, the family crest on the carriage caught his attention: "That mark is a little familiar." ”
"Look at the last commission." Betty looked like she was in control.
Don't look at it, Leon has already remembered that another commission other than Steppenwolf is also wonderful, the target is not a certain demon, but against a family called White, as long as it is a descendant of the White family, just kill one and it will be completed.
And the mark on the carriage in the distance is the family emblem of the White family, indicating that the person riding in the carriage is one of the members of the White family, and most of them are members of the lineage, otherwise there would not be seven or eight powerful guards to protect it, judging from the strength of the guards, the status of the people on the carriage should not be low.
What is it called? The east is not bright, the west is bright? Li Ang didn't know how to describe it, anyway, since there was a target to send to the door, there was no reason not to shoot, and the scar couldn't be found for a while, so it was not bad to complete another task first.
"Hide."
In fact, there is no need for Leon to say, Betty has long been gone, and until now Leon has not figured out what kind of demon she is, only that she has no other skills, and her escape and hiding skills are simply mastery.
In order to hide his identity, Li Ang has not flown since he arrived in Boulder City, not all demons have wings, or most demons have no wings, only a few kinds of demons have, and those with wings are generally demons with relatively high status.
The wings on his back were retracted, a technique he learned from Nis, and he usually couldn't tell that he still had wings behind him.
Even if he didn't have to fly, Leon was extremely fast, and he had traveled a very long distance in a few take-offs and landings, approaching the carriage.
