Chapter 238: Encounter in the Forest
A team of 100 people in the forest is cautiously advancing deeper into the jungle.
As the vanguard of the army, they not only shoulder the task of finding the way, but also give early warning to the large forces behind them.
The mercenary captain who walked in front used the dagger in his hand to carve marks on the trunks of nearby trees along the way.
However, at this moment, a mutation suddenly occurred, and a terrible howl pierced through the mist, accompanied by the sound of rapid flapping of wings, and struck from the air.
"Whewββ!"
Without any hesitation, the mercenary captain drew the short sword at his waist, raised the shield in his hand, took two steps back and roared loudly.
"Enemy attack!"
Bell Bell ββ!
With a swishing sound of breaking the air, stones fell from the sky like raindrops and smashed into the erected shield, followed by sharp claws, swooping down from the air.
It was only then that these mercenaries finally saw clearly who was attacking them.
The flesh-red wings have no visible feathers and grow under the armpits of the forearms like bats. The dagger-like fangs were embedded in the face of the sharp-beaked monkey's cheeks, and because they were so close that they could even smell the stench of the breath.
Many people saw such a monster for the first time, and they couldn't help but show a look of fear on their faces.
"Monster!"
"Damn, what are these birdmen!"
"With a spear, with a spear! Stop them. β
"Ahhh
Sawdust flew everywhere, and the shield was dented by its claws. Caught off guard, several mercenaries were bitten in the neck by the teeth of the Batgirl, and blood flew into the air, clutching their throats and falling to the ground.
After completing a round of diving, the Batwoman flicked her wings and flew into the air, opening up the distance between her and the mercenaries on the ground, her wings gradually accelerating, and the one who was ready to launch the second round of blessings.
Cold sweat broke out on the mercenary captain's forehead, and the short sword held in his right hand was inserted back into the scabbard, took out the spear behind him, and roared loudly.
"Gather the formation, set up the gun! Prepare for defense. β
"Hah!"
With a uniform shout, the mercenary's formation began to shrink to the middle, the soldiers on the periphery set up their shields, their short swords in their hands, and the soldiers in the back row put down their shields and held their spears in both hands, like a hedgehog, so that the bat banshee hovering in the air had nowhere to go.
However, just when the mercenary captain thought that he had escaped, a low beast roar suddenly sounded from the depths of the jungle, accompanied by a loud sound that shook the earth.
Knock ββ! Knock ββ! Knock ββ!
The sound grew denser, like a colossus running across the plains.
Finally, through the thick fog, the mercenary captain standing in the center of the queue saw the monster's face, and a trace of fear gradually rose in his eyes......
and deep despair.
"Roaring ββ!"
The trees along the way were smashed one after another, and the monster with horns let out a deafening roar, brandished the obsidian battle axe in his hand, and rushed towards the mercenaries in a dense formation with unstoppable power.
The spears were broken together, and with a bang, the rampaging monster was like a battering ram crashing into the city wall, knocking the gathered mercenaries directly out.
The mercenaries who flew out upside down were like stone bricks flying when the city wall collapsed, even the people in the last row were not spared, and they were knocked out ten meters away by the huge impact. For the people in the front row, it was even worse, not a single bone in the body was intact, and they fell to the ground like rags, no longer moving......
There was a piercing howl from the sky, like a vulture smelling blood, and one by one the bat banshees fell from the sky and pounced on the mercenaries struggling to get up from the ground, clawing them down, then biting open their fragile throats with their teeth and feasting.
Coughing up blood from his mouth, the mercenary captain struggled to get up from the ground, looked at the approaching minotaur beast, and limped back in horror.
"Monster ......"
Resisting the dislocated ribs and overcoming the fear in his heart, the mercenary captain let go of his left hand pressed on his flank, and violently pulled out the short crossbow hidden in his waist, aimed it at the chest of the bull-headed beast, and pulled the trigger.
With a whoosh, the bolt landed in the chest of the minotaur, but what happened next was beyond his expectations.
The bolt seemed to hit the steel and flew away. The bull-headed beast didn't even have a shallow scar on its chest......
How can it be!
Even a master knight can't ignore the penetrating power of a crossbow arrow!
The mercenary captain's eyes widened.
However, before he could react next, the falling obsidian axe took up his entire field of vision......
Picking up the obsidian axe, Sagre casually shook the blood and tofu brain on the otherwise surface, glanced at the corpse on the ground, the corners of his mouth covered by armor, and let go of a disdainful sneer.
Weak.
It's just too weak.
To allow such creatures to occupy this fertile land is simply disrespectful to the gods of chaos.
Before stepping into the land, he swore to the Lord behind him that he would dye the world the color of chaos and use the battle axe in his hand to inflict the harshest punishment on the unfortunate.
"Roaring ββ!"
The obsidian axe was raised high, and a deafening roar shook the leaves off the branches.
In response, the bat banshees, who were screaming and feasting on the corpse like vultures, flapped their wings and flew into the air, heading for the foothills not far away.
In that direction, he smelled the strong breath of the living, and in order to send Lord Solore's army into this world, he needed more blood, more souls as sacrifices.
"These people are sacrifices of Lord Solol, and your food is on the hill ahead. I want to fill my stomach and hunt with my claws and teeth. With a roar, Sagre gave his orders to the Batwomen.
In a chaotic world, the weak and inferior creatures are unconditionally subordinate to the strong. For those Batbanes, Sagre's orders were absolute.
Standing at the back of the position, Dorn looked at Gargamel next to him and whispered.
"Have your men drag these corpses back, as well as the captives who are not dead, and remember not to kill them."
In the barbarian tribes, the recovery of spoils of war is the only thing that women and old men do. For the barbarian warriors of the 11 tribes, Dorne's words amounted to an insult.
However, although Gargamel was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything more at this moment.
He saw with his own eyes the image of the minotaur giant beast named Sagro shattering the skull of the mercenary with the strength of a high-level warrior.
He asked himself, although he could do it himself, it was definitely impossible to understate it like this.
And that crossbow bolt.
Being able to use the muscles of his chest to carry the shot of a crossbow arrow, he asked himself if he could not do it anyway......
Just as the barbarian warriors were reluctantly cleaning up the battlefield, the Chaos Legion launched a further offensive against the mercenaries who entered the forest.
The vanguard suffered a heavy setback, more than 600 people were killed, and the mercenary commander immediately ordered to withdraw from the forest.
At the same time, the Batgirl bypassed the frontal battlefield from the flanks and launched a surprise attack on the migrant camp located halfway up the mountainside.
Unfortunately, they chose the wrong opponent......
