Chapter 43: The Valley of the Mists is Attacked
After Song Jing asked, the village chief did not reply, and the crowd was in an uproar, and the villagers who gathered in a circle separated a road by themselves, and at the end of the road was the scene of two children nervously hiding behind Xilu, Xilu looked at Song Jing who came over nervously, and his mind was blank.
The surrounding villagers all had strange expressions on their faces, looked at the isolated Xilu, and discussed in a whisper.
"What's going on?"
"Xilu has never been out of the village, why is she known by this adult?!"
"May, Dumas, come here."
The two women looked nervous in the crowd and said to the two children behind Silu, beckoning to the two of them to leave Silu, but the two children saw the eyes of the crowd and grabbed Silu's skirt even more nervously in fear.
Another woman wearing a hood suddenly ran out of the crowd, behind her back was a man with a red nose on crutches and a red wine nose helplessly watching the woman run towards Silu, the woman ran to Silu and hugged her, pushed Mei and Dumas into the crowd, and then turned back to look at Monte who had been watching.
"My lord, is there anything wrong with Xilu from my family?!"
Song Jing watched quietly without words, everyone's hearts were tight, he saw the nervous woman and the stiff Xilu isolated from the crowd, slowly showed a kind smile, and said kindly:
"Don't be nervous, we just heard that Xiao Xilu is very smart and clever, and is about the same age as our current lord of Norton Lord, so we intend to let her go to our territory as a playmate of our lord Dilicia"
Xilu's mother was flattered, she looked at Song Jing blankly, as if she couldn't believe it, and asked again with a little hesitation:
"Really?!"
Song Jing looked around at the villagers who were waiting for answers and suppressed their emotions, and affirmed.
"Yes, I think our young lady would be happy to have a playmate!"
"Great!"
Xilu's mother breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, but Xilu, who was being held by her, looked ignorant, and the surrounding villagers were also overjoyed, and kept saying words of praise to Xilu.
"I'll just say, Silu is a good boy"
"Yes, yes, you can be the squire of a noble lord at such a young age"
But at this moment, the middle-aged man who was hesitating in the crowd just now, and was on crutches, immediately walked out and said loudly, "I'll just say that our Xilu is an excellent child!" ”
He limped to the open space in front of Monte and Song Jing, and kept saying respectfully, "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord, I am Sipik, Xilu's father, and my Xilu, is a clever and sensible child."
With a smug look on this person's face at this time, Monte next to Song Jing didn't let him delay too much of everyone's time, and waved his hand:
"Alright, let's talk to you about the cost of Silu's employment, we still have things to do, are any of you familiar with the Valley of Mist?"
"Me, me!"
As soon as the words fell, before the other villagers could respond, the father Sipic, who had stepped forward to reveal Xilu, immediately spoke up in front of Monte, and eagerly expressed himself like a peacock opening the screen.
Hearing this, Monte looked at his crutches and looked at him suspiciously, while Sipik, as if noticing Monte's thoughts, hurriedly said:
"Don't think that adults have difficulty moving, in fact, when I retired and returned to my hometown, I was also a hunter for a while, so I am quite familiar with the terrain in the Valley of Mist, and I will definitely be able to cooperate with adults to complete the task."
"Yes!" Monte nodded, in the original book, this Sipik was also the one who led the Knights of the Holy Iron Chains of the Hall of the King to the Valley of the Mist.
As the name suggests, the Valley of the Mist is surrounded by a thick fog all year round, which is very peculiar, the terrain is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the mountains are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the only way to enter the Valley of the Mist is to walk through the forest in front of it.
Three hours later, the army of the reincarnation advanced into the forest near the periphery of the Valley of the Mist, counting that the reincarnation has entered this world for nearly two months, and now the season is also early autumn, but it is not yet the time for the plants to wither, but everyone enters this forest, the closer to the Valley of Mist, the more yellow and scarce the natural vegetation becomes, and gradually to the point where there is no grass, bare ground, bare soil and tree roots, tree branches twist and turn, giving people a hideous and gloomy feeling.
Walking here, except for Alexander, who stayed in the territory, the four reincarnators here all looked serious, knowing that they were already very close to the Valley of Mist, and Sipik, who was happily riding a donkey at the front of the team just now, was also arranged at the back of the team.
In a moment, the scout probing ahead reported, "Report, there's a spherical black shadow a hundred meters ahead!" ”
"Really?!"
Monte's expression was cold, it seemed that he was about to meet the monster transformed by the fairy apostle, although in the original book, only the protagonist Gus solved all the monsters, but after all, it was just a reference, not to mention that everyone was ambushed by Zod, so they can't be careless.
"All of them! Get ready for battle! The sword and shield soldiers are in the front, the pikemen are second, and the crossbowmen are in the back, cheer me up! Monte decisively gave the order to the troops, so that the soldiers all had a scowl on their faces, and slowly advanced forward in formation.
Time passed slowly, but as everyone advanced a hundred meters, they didn't find anything at all, only the same strange forest, full of strange silence.
"This..."
The scout before was stunned, looking at this completely different scene from before, he obviously came back after seeing the spherical black shadow entrusted by the reincarnations.
At that moment, the earth beneath his feet shook and cracked, and a pair of huge pincers stabbed out of the dirt in vain, and the black horns easily pierced the scout's abdomen, pushing him into the air, and drops of crimson continued to fall.
A tall black shadow emerged from the ground, like a giant stag beetle, with limbs covered in black insect shells and a man's face on its head.
This is like a signal, in an instant, the ground in front of the array is rolling in the mud, and monsters with human faces and bodies of all kinds of insects appear from the ground, some are locusts, some are flies, some are centipedes, they either drag the soldiers to bite, or use their own stingers to stab into the soldiers' bodies, the scene suddenly became chaotic, and the troops suffered a lot of casualties.
"Over to you! Kill! ”
Monte didn't say a word to Song Jing without replying, and immediately shouted angrily, pulled out the big sword behind his back, and jumped from his horse to the stag beetle beast that appeared just now, and the big sword slashed down from the head, making a gesture to split it in two.
However, the stag beetle beast that Monte attacked was a battle-hardened knight before he was transformed by the Elven Apostle, and was very familiar with human martial arts and techniques. He used the black horn on the right side of his head to aim at Monte's sword and slashed to the left, immediately disintegrating Monte's attack, and at the same time slammed the scout who had just hung on the left corner to the ground, seriously facing Monte who was standing in front of him.
Monte double-wielded his greatsword upwards and said coldly to the stag beetle beast's human face, "I hope your carapace will be harder than steel!" ”
The stag beetle beast's body stood upright and waited, and its glowing black carapace and sturdy limbs gave people a sense of strength.
At the same time, before Song Jing could give the order, a figure shot straight out and fell into the chaotic battle situation in front of him.
I saw Huang Shurong holding the Han sword in one hand, and in the middle of the three crossbowmen who fell close to the array in front, three hideous insect beasts grabbing the crossbowmen and biting were reflected in the smooth sword.
Unlike the troops in front, the crossbowmen only had chain mail in their chest clothes and protective gear at the joints for the agility of their hands and feet, and they did not wear much armor on the rest of their bodies, which was why they suffered the most serious damage in unexpected attacks from insects and beasts.
Whoop -
The strict cold light flashed, Huang Shurong quickly swung out two swords, the sharp sword slashed through the necks of the two insect beasts next to him, cutting out a deep wound, seeing the soldiers in front of him fighting with the insect beast behind him, turning his body to turn the insect beast in front of him, he immediately stepped forward and raised his sword to stab forward, the tip of the sword easily pierced the collarbone of the insect beast, and the right hand holding the sword pulled upward, instantly splitting the head of the insect beast into two.
Suddenly, two arc-shaped Limangs flashed in front of Huang Shurong, and a sense of crisis hit his cheeks in an instant, and he kicked hard under his feet, and his figure immediately retreated.
And the crossbowmen who had just been rescued by Huang Shurong in front of them were not so lucky, like two huge guillotines, instantly cutting off the crotch and neck of the crossbowmen, and the three corpses fell to the ground, revealing the monsters hidden behind them.
An upright big praying mantis appeared in front of Huang Shurong, its head was a human face, its hands turned into mantis claws like a scythe shining with cold light, which was terrifying, and it was also like the previous stag beetle beast, it was the knight of the fairy apostle who was transformed, and among these insects and beasts, only these two could take it, of course, this is relative to the reincarnation.
It shook its mantis claws up and down, staring at Huang Shurong with its fierce eyes, ready to attack at any time.
The sneak attack of the insect beast was indeed unexpected, causing some damage and confusion to the troops, but after all, the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen in front were equipped with excellent armor, and they could still effectively defend against the simple physical attacks of the insect beasts.
The insects and beasts at the scene were obviously not numerous, so they could only ambush the troops in front, and only a part of the crossbowmen in the rear were attacked, so he ordered Yuyama Ken next to him, "Support the attacked soldiers first!" Encircle and crush the enemy in front of you! ”
When the crossbowmen took out their spare daggers and continued to entangle with the insects and beasts, the continuous bursts of spiritual arrows continued to shoot out, accurately shooting into the heads or hearts of the bloodthirsty insects and beasts.
According to the speed of Yushanjian's attack, as well as the soldiers who are constantly being liberated, it only takes a minute or two for that part of the crossbowmen to be completely safe, and then advance in turn, and this chaos will still end in the victory of the reincarnations.
Song Jing didn't stop, and shouted on the horse, "Soldiers! Don't panic, we have an absolute advantage! Cooperate with each other, don't suffer from the enemy, and give these monsters a heavy blow together! ”
As soon as the words fell, the sound of swarms of bees sounded, and it was quite clear on the battlefield where the shouts of killing were continuous, and Song Jing suddenly looked up in the direction of the Valley of Mists opposite.
In the crowd still fighting, Huang Shurong had already slashed dozens of knives with the mantis, and had a clear understanding of its ability, so he didn't plan to waste time anymore, his eyes flashed, and he first withdrew the sword that was slashing, and the mantis on the opposite side immediately saw the opportunity and slashed at Huang Shurong's right hand with his claws.
The Han sword was suddenly filled with silver-white fluorescence, and the sharp sword in Huang Shurong's hand swung towards the attacking claws, and the claws that had been slashing dozens of slashes just now were easily cut off by the Han sword.
"Ahh The mantis felt a chill in its heart, and couldn't help but scream, and the carapace behind it opened, and four thin wings waved, ready to retreat.
Seeing this, Huang Shurong made persistent efforts and immediately stepped forward, raised his sword and aimed at the mantis's body to slash.
The praying mantis knew that it had been avoided, and the remaining claws of its left hand suddenly stretched out and popped out, stabbing towards Huang Shurong in front of him.
"It's useless!" Huang Shurong said expressionlessly, his left hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed the upper part of the mantis claw where there was no blade, and immediately raised it, and the sword immediately slashed down, cutting the mantis claw in half.
"Uh..."
The praying mantis looked at his bloody chest with blank eyes, his feet were weak, and his body slipped in two, but he listened to the sound of bees and kept saying in his mouth.
"Hahaha, our master is here, and you all have to die... Die..."
In the dense fog in front of the battlefield, fluorescent light shot out quickly, and I saw them pounce on the five sword and shield soldiers in the front, instantly wrapping their whole bodies and dragging them upward, accompanied by this overwhelming tearing sound.
"Ahhh
The screams rang out incessantly, and the five sword and shield soldiers struggled in mid-air, but to no avail, several heavy shields fell off their hands and smashed to the ground.
Suddenly, the fluorescence that enveloped the sword and shield soldiers quickly dispersed, like dandelions floating in the wind, and the five armors worn on the flesh skeletons suddenly fell to the ground, and exploded at the same time, revealing the cruel sight.
The dense fluorescence came to the sky above the battlefield, and everyone clearly saw that it was wasps with children's faces, showing sharp teeth, and constantly shouting, "You are bad people, bad people!" ”
A little girl a little bigger than Silu flew in front, a huge swarm of wasps hovering in the air centered on her, her cold eyes looking down.
"Haha!"
The insects and beasts on the battlefield are even more rampant and arrogant, and the wriggling mouths of the insects are constantly open and disgusting sounds are coming from the battle, and even when the soldiers penetrate their bodies with spears, they are constantly shouting.
"Queen! Our Queen!"
"Fairy Queen, Lotlian, but there are no other apostles?!"
Song Jing looked at the apostle who appeared, and muttered softly, but his right hand did not stop, and his thumb and middle finger were closed, ready to shoot the devastating snapping fingers.
