Chapter 62: The Third Legion
There were only about 5,000 soldiers in the camp of the Leno Third Legion during the day, and most of the soldiers were arranged in the southeast corner of the camp, where there were dozens of huge military tents, each with a steel cage, holding one or two mutants, and Argo counted them, there should be more than two hundred military tents in total. In other words, there are about 300 to 500 mutants trapped.
Seeing Lai Xiaotian's arrival, the guards and patrolling soldiers saluted respectfully, Lai Xiaotian waved his hand and sent the soldiers, and led everyone to a brand-new tent, twenty or thirty people rushed in, Nuoda's tent did not seem crowded, and there was a huge iron cage in the middle of the tent.
This mutant body shape has surpassed ordinary people too much, the muscles of the whole body are swollen, you can see large and small blood vessels all over the body, full of strength, many skin on the body have been broken, dripping dark black liquid, this male mutant's eyes are full of endless darkness, and he can't tell that there are other organs, and he will be led into infinite darkness at a glance.
A roar similar to that of a demonic beast came out of his mouth, and the liquid that flowed from his mouth indicated that he was in a state of hunger at this time.
Kasai motioned for Tutor Duzi to take the students of the pharmacy school to check, and Argo also had a chance to get closer and see this different life form.
Ah Ge and Zong Ming looked at the mutant from a distance of two meters, and the other two students were obviously not so bold, and only dared to look at this murderous weapon that was in a roaring state from a distance.
According to Argo's view, the man was clearly dead, supported or driven by another strange force, and shook his head at Kase, which was beyond the scope of illness, and the knowledge of medicine could not solve such a difficult problem.
Zong Ming obviously had the same idea as Ah Ge, and the other people, including Mentor Du Qi, all had the same idea, and now several people from the Zidan Pharmacy Academy lost their effect.
I watched the mutants in the other tents, including women, children, and the elderly, all of whom lost their minds and fell into confusion.
Joining the Third Legion of Leno, the forces under the direct command of Casse were still less than 2,000 men, and the deputy commander of the Third Legion, Nesses, had already arranged the camp, a barracks farthest from the southeast corner.
"Let's talk about what we have gained" Less than 20 students gathered in the tent of the meeting, and they didn't have any clue.
After discussing it for a long time, there was no good idea, so everyone had to disperse and continue to follow up on this matter to see if there would be any follow-up findings.
This unit should be the most relaxed unit in the whole camp, no need to be on duty, no vigil, no need to participate in military operations, and there are people who are entertained with good wine and meat, and can be assigned to independent tents.
"Ago, haven't you found anything out of it," Wind whispered as she sat on the only stool in Ago's tent.
"No," replied Argo, shaking his head.
"Is there any way to drive such a person?" the wind whispered as she continued.
"It's better not to have such thoughts, all actions at the cost of life will be punished with life" Argo unconsciously thought of Axel's skin killer.
Wind whispered and looked at Argo thoughtfully, and nodded.
"After this incident is over, the school will be on summer vacation, will you come back to the free city-state with me?"
"What are you going to do?" asked Argo knowingly.
"Of course, I invite you to see the customs of the Free City-State," the wind said shyly.
"Then I'll think about it," Argo seemed to be really thinking.
"Hmph, you have to think about it," the wind whispered, and the signature expression welled up on his face.
Argo hurriedly conceded defeat, "After my careful consideration, I decided to go and see" Feng Qingyu's expression changed from anger to joy.
Soon it was night, according to Lai Xiaotian's introduction, this group of monsters had a strong ability to move at night, and they would attack the camp every night, causing a lot of casualties before they were willing to leave.
If he hadn't been sent here by the Academy, Argo might never have come to such a beautiful mountainous area in his life.
The mutants storm the camp almost every night, and Cassy has been summoned to the task of guarding the camp tonight, and all the remaining students are waiting in the council chamber.
As the night drew to a close, the students gathered in pairs to talk about the mutant events they had seen today.
Suddenly, there were bursts of sound outside the camp, like a baby crying, like a melodious sound. "Woo, woo".
The students, who had not yet seen the combat power of mutants, rushed out of the camp like frightened birds and looked into the distance.
In the dark night, the sound of "woo woo" is endless. It's like a baby's cry, or like an old man's choking in his twilight.
Watching a group of people rush out of the camp tent at Norder Academy, the soldiers guarding outside the camp came up and explained.
"It's in the middle of a valley, and the wind is strong, and it's the mountains on both sides that make this strange sound."
This explanation made sense, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the magic of nature was indeed amazing.
Ago stretched out his hand and felt the wind here, this strange phenomenon was not unique to this place, similar events had been observed in many parts of the continent of Stiland.
The nervousness was relieved, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, perhaps because the strong combat power of the strange mutant gave people too much psychological pressure.
Then Casse returned, "Colonel Lesquerc has incorporated us into Colonel Nesses' team to guard the line to the west of the camp."
Colonel Nesses will always give people a good impression and have an amiable smile, and if he is really included in the team of Colonel Lai Xiaotian, who is not smiling, everyone will feel uncomfortable.
Before Kasai could arrange the task, the entire camp suddenly sounded a first-level alarm, and there was only one reason why such an alarm sounded, and that was that terrible mutant had already arrived, and it was close at hand.
The sentry in the camp would blow two crisp whistles with the whistle in his hand, and the sound of the first-level alarm was sharp and piercing, making the students who had just seen the monster form nervous.
Before the crowd could react, they saw a soldier of Leno rush into the camp tent, his hands clenched into fists.
"Report, Colonel Nesses ordered your troops to immediately assemble their men and horses and prepare for battle," the soldier's voice as he conveyed the military order was decisive and loud.
"Returning to the Colonel, Kasai understood" Without Kaser conveying superfluous orders, the soldier turned and walked out of the tent.
The tacit cooperation along the way has made this force have a tendency to integrate, Kasai is arranged in an orderly manner, and the troops have been quickly assembled.
Except for a few people who commanded the battle, the rest of the people followed Kase's side.
"This time it was very unusual, they were a few hours early," Nesses enthusiastically introduced the situation as he saw Cassel arrive.
"Is it like that almost every night?" asked Kase.
"Yes, these monsters are more mobile at night than during the day, they often lurk in the mountains during the day, and come out to bite people at night, they have the ability to sense the anger of the living, and the more people there are, the more vulnerable to shocks" Nesses explained to the crowd as he commanded his troops to defend themselves.
Looking from afar, there were only dozens of figures hundreds of meters away, staggering, and walking towards the camp, if you estimate by the number of people alone, these dozens of figures are not enough for thousands of soldiers and horses to have an impact, but these mutants can't be handled by common sense.
"Most of the soldiers you brought are cavalry, and you are not familiar with the skills of fighting this group of monsters, so you don't need to participate in the battle, just watch from here" The status of a student at the Nordir Academy is precious, and Nesses obviously does not dare to let them take the troops into danger.
If there is any security problem with this group of students here, it will be an international problem, and the balance of countries cannot be broken.
Kasai nodded, "Colonel Lao" In fact, Kasai also understood that the arrival of himself and the others was not for the battlefield, and Colonel Lai Xiaotian also had to allocate a part of his forces to protect his group of people, and the trouble caused would not be too small. But it is still necessary to maintain a fighting attitude.
Dozens of monsters, Colonel Nesses sent a combat team of two thousand people, these soldiers put down the swords in their hands, but picked up wooden sticks, ropes, nets and other tools, fully armed, but not armor, but waterproof cloth, which surprised the people who only arrived today, more like going out to sea to fish, such a scene diluted the tension of the students.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I, Colonel Nesses, would one day command troops in such a command, but experience tells us that this is obviously the best way to do it" Nesses explained every time it was just right.
"These monsters are very difficult to kill, often only a head or an arm is left, but they are still moving, and it is very dangerous for the soldier's weapon to cut off their limbs and the liquid from the sputter is very dangerous, so we came up with this solution"
Kase nodded, "This method not only protects the soldier from bodily fluids to the greatest extent, but also has a chance to capture mutants."
The process of war is cruel, the monster is manic and crazy, the power is infinite, bloodthirsty and hurts, often dozens of soldiers can compare to a monster to get power, the voice of the mutant monster roar is like a thunderbolt, their teeth can kill, nails can kill, body fluids can kill, soldiers can only use long wooden sticks to dodge from afar, Ago saw a soldier dodge and was killed by a monster with a palm.
The soldier's body was torn apart, and his entire head rolled far from under the monster's feet, and the soldier's eyes were just looking at the people in the legionnaires.
The emotions that had just been relieved were frightened again, and as the situation developed, such emotions would only become more and more intense, and even several classmates had already vomited on their stomachs, such a scene was too terrifying.
Kasai took out his bow and arrows, bent them and hit the monster's eyebrows at a distance of hundreds of meters, and the entire tip of the arrow was submerged, and the mutant still roared and charged at the soldiers around him as if he didn't feel pain.
"It's useless, these monsters don't know pain, and you can't bring them down unless they crush their bodies completely," Nesses explained to the crowd, surprised by Kase's archery.
If such a monster formed a force and suddenly appeared on the battlefield, the effect must be amazing, and with their cruel methods, it would be enough to break the enemy's psychological defense.
