Chapter 267: Breaking the Camp
Several soldiers guarding the camp gates were chatting together, and standing guard in the middle of the night was quite boring.
"It's been a truce for a long time, and I thought that this war might be over, but I didn't expect that tomorrow we would go on the offensive again. ”
A soldier with a spear said as he stomped his feet, and after standing for a long time, his feet were numb.
"I have heard that this time the Duke of Ambery has received a death order from His Majesty the King to storm the capital of the Temoans at full speed. ”
Said another soldier with a spear but much more informed.
"What? Assault on the Temoa capital? Is this crazy..."
The spearman who spoke first said in disbelief.
"You still don't know the news, I heard that the capital of the Temoya people has broken out in a demonic unrest, and the entire capital is in ruins, and there are few living people left in the whole city. ”
The well-informed spearman approached several of his companions with a mysterious look.
Obviously, it was impossible for the Duke of Ambery and other high-ranking commanders to tell all the soldiers about the king's orders and secret reports from the front, and these soldiers only had to obey the command.
Of course, there is no need to block such news, and if the soldiers below know about it, it should also boost morale - after all, the old rival's hometown has been attacked by monsters.
As for the actual attack, and now the soldiers began to rumor that "there are no living people in the capital of Temoya"... It can only be said that there will always be some errors in word of mouth.
"Wait, what's that sound?"
A soldier suddenly raised his spear in his hand and asked in a somewhat wary voice.
The soldiers who were chatting nonsense stopped, and the sound was not small, at least they could hear it at the door.
The sound of what appeared to be a heavy object dragging on the ground—the sound was getting closer, seemingly in the dense forest outside the fence to the south of the camp.
Several soldiers looked at each other, apparently frozen.
When the sound became quite clear, it finally stopped and disappeared.
"Gotta go check it out. ”
After being silent for half a minute, a soldier who seemed to be the leader of the squad said slowly.
At this time, the soldiers guarding the gate of the camp did not know that on the ground a hundred meters away from them, the sentry on the lookout was dead.
"Let's go, leave two people here. ”
The squad leader held his spear in both hands, gave the order, and prepared to bring someone over to investigate.
But as soon as the leader walked a few steps from the camp gate in the direction of the dense forest, the squad leader and the soldiers stopped.
The sound of rustling and a large number of animals trampling the ground came again, directly towards the entire camp.
In the distance, the squad leader and several soldiers behind him saw dots of dark blue firelight flash out of the dark forest, and then hundreds of silhouettes rushed out of the dense forest.
Some are humanoid, some are on all fours, and some are lying on the ground and charging quickly...
Under the not-so-bright moonlight, the squad leader can also tell that there are ghouls, water ghosts and other monsters!
Bang!
At this moment, a loud explosion sounded deeper in the dense forest, and I saw that the trees in the dense forest were instantly squeezed to the ground, and even broke off at the waist - a huge figure almost two stories high rushed out.
Seeing these figures that suddenly rushed out, the team leader didn't have time to think about why these different kinds of monsters were gathered together, why did these monsters have a pair of eyes burning with blue flames? Why...
There was no room for thought, and the captain of the squad guarding the camp gate only had time to shout: "Monster, monster, warn-"
Flutter, flutter——!
The sound of a large bird of prey flying was heard in the air again, and a strong stench hit the soldiers.
Poof!
The captain of the squad guarding the camp gate felt a tingling pain in his back, and his flesh was pierced by something, and then his whole body was thrown to the ground with a strong force, and the disgusting stench almost surrounded him.
"Help—"
"There's a monster—"
The squad leader, who was vigorously thrown to the ground, could hear several soldiers behind him also shouting loudly, but only half a sentence was shouted, and it stopped abruptly.
At this moment of death, the team leader finally felt that what seemed to be a pair of sharp claws penetrating his back - now, these claws were stirring in his abdominal cavity, and he could feel his lungs, intestines, and other organs ruptured...
"Why, why haven't the sentries blown the warning whistle?"
The squad leader felt the smell of blood welling up in his throat and into his mouth, and he thought so in the last moment before losing consciousness.
···
"Forward! Break through this broken fence and kill everyone in the camp!"
Zhao Li stood tall on the skull of the undead swamp monster "Bone Kun", brandished the "Hammer Sorrow", and let out a loud cry - his shouts were even louder than the screams and warnings of these soldiers before they died.
"That's it, it's my style to do it if you don't accept it, sneak a fart, you should charge five hundred meters away, just the momentum can scare them. ”
Zhao Li thought as he commanded Gu Kun to rush towards the camp of the army outside Peel Town with all his might.
On either side of the Bone Kun, the undead minions frantically flocked to the camp, and the monsters that had rushed to the edge of the Negadian camp were destroying the wooden fence.
The Nigadians probably hadn't expected an attack on this part of Peeltown, and the wooden fence was easily destroyed without much care—of course, maybe the undead man-eating crocodiles were too powerful.
According to the memories of the scouts who went into the depths of the swamp, the Western Nigadian army was divided into two parts, with the high-ranking commander and most of the elite living in Peeltown, and the remaining soldiers holding the townsfolk of Peel Town as laborers and the captured members of the Pure Brotherhood living in a nearby camp.
The western Nigadians divided the army into two parts, but they fell into Zhao Li's hands.
Although almost ninety percent of the members of his "Scourge Legion" are demons, and their combat power is much stronger than that of humans, to put it bluntly, there are actually only four or five hundred.
If you want to rely on four or five hundred monsters to sweep an elite army of tens of thousands of people, it is impossible no matter what, and these soldiers are not targets who can't fight back, even if a few lives, or even a dozen lives are exchanged for an undead servant, Zhao Li will not be able to win.
In fact, Zhao Li's hundreds of demon undead servants are just the first start-up capital, and the real undead scourge legion is in the camp in front of him... Sleeping.
