Chapter 25: The Escape (2)
"Die, human!" A hideous-looking barbarian shouted wildly, and it was already slashing at the back of the human in front of him who was holding a strange sword containing purple light, and was slaughtering in the crowd.
Seeing that his sword light full of yellow magic energy had already slashed the human figure, the barbarian smiled and was about to enjoy the watering of blood, but suddenly felt ...... It seems that there is no force on the knife at all? As if it was splitting air?
He was stunned for a moment, and looked fixedly, but saw a faint afterimage dissipating in the air, and before he could react to what was going on, he only felt that the magic armor behind him suddenly felt a tearing sensation, and then, he felt a cold in his chest.
In the strange muffled eruption of demonic energy, he suddenly felt that he was extremely hot, and extremely cold, hot and cold.
Then, he shattered.
β¦β¦
Xie Ning coldly drew his sword and kicked away the pile of blood, water and clothes on the ground, which was already in the shape of an insincere person.
Idiot, even a big demon war dares to sneak attack me, I really don't know whether to live or die.
However, my strange magic ability is only a stripping skill against those who are higher than me and can't break through armor. But for those who are at the same level as me and those who can break through armor, is it a bone-turning magic skill?
The effect is also too disgusting.
He frowned at the blood on the ground, and secretly slandered, but he forcibly suppressed his ** who wanted to vomit.
As far as the eye could see, the battle situation had become extremely clear, except for the sporadic sound of magic energy explosions and swords colliding - this barbarian logistics grazing camp had been blown down by them unharmed.
It's no wonder that our escort group, the lowest is also a high-level magic war, and all of them are genius elites of the empire, and if there is damage to a logistics camp made up of barbarians or even soldiers, this battle will not be able to fight.
Shainin nodded, thinking.
β¦β¦
"General, we have taken this grazing camp and there are no casualties." Just as he was thinking about it, a demon warrior had already walked over respectfully and saluted, so he reported.
"Yes, that's good." Shainin nodded.
"Order, quickly slaughter those demonic beasts for meat, we only have less than half an hour, and then, we must evacuate quickly! Command them to bring as much meat as they can. β
He whispered to the demonic war.
β¦β¦
When the demon war saluted and took the order, he saw that Yang Linkai had already walked over with a pale face and a knife.
"Shainin, come and have a look." He leaned into Shainin's ear and whispered.
"What's wrong? Could it be that Lele is injured? Xie Ning was taken aback, but he saw that Xiao Ledong, who had always been inseparable from Yang Linkai, did not appear, and asked in surprise.
"Not ......"
Yang Linkai smiled bitterly and said: "That kid is going crazy, ready to kill the barbarian lair, you are the chief, you go and persuade it." β
Xie Ning glanced at Yang Linkai, but walked over with him with a puzzled face.
β¦β¦
When Xie Ning followed Yang Linkai to a tent where the sound of magic energy erupted from time to time, all his doubts were quickly answered.
The air was filled with the smell of blood.
It seemed to be a place for barbarians to make military rations, with large chunks of meat piled up in a basket in the corner of the tent. Next to the basket, there are also many skeletons of demonic beasts that have been cleaned of meat.
At the same time, several skeletons of Bai Sensen were hanging from the dome in the center of the tent, hanging from a rope. There was still blood on the bones, but there was not a single muscle left. On the table below, there was also a skeleton that seemed to have only half of the meat removed, and it looked as if it was being removed.
In the large basin next to the table, meat, offal, and other things were placed in different categories, and a layer of salt was smeared on them.
If that's all there is, it's nothing. But except for the corners of the box, those skeletons that were hanging and lying on the table were not magical beasts, but ...... Person.
β¦β¦
Several demon battles were silently standing aside, tears streaming from their eyes, but they saluted the white bones in the air. Xiao Ledong angrily slashed at the corpse of a barbarian cook in the tent, and his eyes were blood-red in the blood droplets.
"Shainin! Take us and kill them! Kill them! They're brutes! It's a brute! As soon as he saw Xie Ning coming in, Xiao Ledong had already pounced on him, grabbed Xie Ning by the collar and yelled.
"Calm down, Lele." Yang Linkai was already comforting softly.
"How calm am I!" Xiao Ledong roared wildly: "Even if the TM race is different, they are all intelligent creatures!" Why are they so cold-blooded? So cruel! This is the Demon War Brothers of the Far North Legion! Now, their flesh is cut off piece by piece and made into food by the barbarians! The barbarians are not short of food now, and they still have so many magical beasts! But that's how cruel they are! Treat us like pigs and dogs! How do I calm down? Shainin! How can I calm down! Take us and kill them all! Kill them all! β
He shouted in frenzy.
β¦β¦
"Is there a war on the front?" Xie Ning took a deep breath, his eyes were full of crystals, but he ignored Xiao Ledong's hand holding his neckline, and turned his head to Yang Linkai and asked coldly.
"No, they died a few days ago. I reckon...... It's the Demon War brothers who happened to go into the forest to hunt in those days. Yang Linkai wiped his eyes, but replied in a low voice.
"Shainin! Did you listen to me! Xiao Ledong grabbed Xie Ning by the collar and shouted.
"Calm down." Xie Ning turned to him, but said lightly.
Xiao Ledong shouted wildly: "How can I calm down-"
"Then I'll teach you how to calm down!"
Before he finished shouting, Xiao Ledong had already been slapped heavily on his face, he covered his face with a smile, and looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes full of disbelief.
Xie Ning withdrew his hand, but he took a deep breath, and he turned to Yang Linkai: "Order the troops, speed up the action, we don't have much time." β
Yang Linkai nodded and went out silently.
β¦β¦
Xie Ning turned to Xiao Ledong, who was looking at him again.
"Wake up! Lele! He shook his body and shouted.
"Think about our duty! Think of ourselves! We're guarding the most powerful scientists in the Empire! We are leading the most elite forces of the new generation of the Empire! Their lives, whether they will also become those skeletons, are all in our thoughts, in our grasp! β
"Sooner or later, we're going to have those bastards pay for it, but not now! We're on the run! We're going to do everything we can to get them out safely! Take it back! Instead of shouting here to kill all the barbarians! Did that work? If you are no longer fit to lead troops and are not qualified for the position of deputy commander of the escort regiment, I will not hesitate to deprive you of your responsibility! β
The young man shook Xiao Ledong and roared as if he was crazy.
Xiao Ledong looked at him blankly, but he no longer had the fury he had at that time.
Tears involuntarily flowed slowly on the faces of the two young men.
β¦β¦
Shainin ...... Is it Shain......" The two were silently crying, and a weak voice behind them suddenly woke them up.
They turned suddenly, only to find that it seemed to be the voice of the body on the table that had not yet been fleshed out.
Does he know me? Xie Ning thought suddenly. He had hurried over, rounded the table, and looked at the face that had been tilted toward the inside of the tent.
The face was covered with blood, but the face was still vaguely recognizable, and it was actually ...... Wang Qiang!
Xie Ning's pupils suddenly constricted, and he said softly, "Wang Qiang, why are you here?" Don't be afraid, we're here to save you, it's going to be okay, everything is going to be okay, we're going to get you to the hospital right away, and you'll survive. β
His gaze swept slightly over Wang Qiang's legs, which only had a skeleton left, and there was already a big hole in his abdomen where many organs were missing, but he said in a loud voice.
β¦β¦
"Don't lie to me...... Wang Qiang smiled weakly: "When I woke up just now, I already heard what you were saying, besides, my own body, I know ...... If I hadn't been a demon war, I would have died......"
Seeing that Xie Ning was about to speak again, Wang Qiang had already interrupted him in a hurry: "I don't have much time, you listen to me......"
"You formed a guard group, I was defeated, I was very sad, so I went to practice hard every day, and I often went to the forest, but I didn't expect ......"
"But, Shainin, I have lived up to the glory of the Imperial Demon War...... also did not live up to the expectations of the old platoon commander...... Brother, you can trust your back...... I left my back to Huzi and Xiaosan...... I blocked the barbarians...... I don't know if they ran away...... I shouldn't have brought them out, sorry ......"
β¦β¦
"They've been found by us, and they're fine." Xie Ning's face trembled sharply, but he said so.
"That's good...... Then I'm relieved...... Remember to go back and tell Your Majesty...... The Imperial Demon War Wang Qiang, as well as several Demon War brothers who were arrested with me...... All of them have lived up to his expectations...... Despite the torture of our enemies, despite their ...... But we haven't said half a word, not half a word. β
"Also...... Also, go tell my father and mother...... The child is not filial, and he can no longer accept the joy...... But...... Die...... Death, what it ...... Dead and ...... No regrets. β
His head tilted suddenly, and he was already limply falling to the table.
Shainin trembled and put his hand in front of his nose, and in an instant, he closed his eyes in pain.
β¦β¦
The red light of the fire magic energy faintly reflected in the tent, and when the young man walked out of the tent, he was holding a few small boxes in his hands, but his face was already grim.
"Go, order the troops, and make up all the barbarian corpses a few more times. But remember what I told you at the beginning, that I inadvertently missed a badly wounded barbarian who was better hiddenβit didn't take him long to live, just to live until the tail behind us arrived. β
The young man calmly summoned a demon battle, but he commanded in a low voice.
