Chapter Seventy-Eight: The First Encounter

"And monsters chase ......"

The general's face suddenly gloomy, he reached out and pressed the shoulders of the tomb robber's father and son, patted them gently, and pushed them towards his own soldiers: "Free up a water lizard for these two people to ride, and if something happens, escort them away as soon as possible!"

"Yes, sir!"

The two pro-soldiers received the order and immediately retreated with Derek and Hank.

"Turn around, let's go back to camp!"

The general sat back in the ironclad sedan chair, the horn sounded again, and the stagnant army turned around in place and continued to take thunderous steps.

"Great, we can finally go to jail in peace!"

"yes, yes, it's great to be in prison safe and sound!"

After sitting on the saddle on the back of the water lizard, the father and son of the tomb robber finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and wiped their tears, and looked forward to the good time of squatting in the prison.

“......”

The general turned his head to look at the two fugitives who were crying with joy, his facial muscles twitched a few times, and then the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a joyful expression.

His name was Ordas, one of the first governors of the Guards, who had won the trust of the Governor's Office by virtue of his heroic performance in the highland self-defense counterattack, and was currently the commander of the mixed border guards, leading 8,000 troops.

The backbone of the entire Frontier Legion is a thousand elite guards, all of whom are third-order warriors, containing one-third of the essence of the Governor's Palace, and most of the rest are Rune warriors, as well as a group of monster auxiliaries who are not included in the total number of legions.

Unlike the forbidden and disciplined Celtic Army, the Guards incorporated many elements of the new army. They can also be strictly disciplined, but they still belong to feudal soldiers in nature. The degree of freedom is high, the sense of honor is explosive, the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, and the bonus of defensive warfare is large. At the same time, the thirst for status and wealth is far greater than the former.

In this era when single force can create miracles, the combat effectiveness of the feudal legion is stable and superior to that of the new legion, and the disadvantage is that it is relatively difficult to replenish, and one generation is not as good as the next, and it belongs to a veritable "noble" class.

And entering the deserted primeval forest to search, the loss must be not small, but a thousand elite guards were still dispatched. It can be seen that the Governor's Office attaches great importance to these two fugitives.

A mercenary leader who fled from Franks became a military officer, and Ordas, in addition to being proud, was naturally grateful to the Governor's Mansion in his heart. At the same time, I hope to go further and mix up a knight or something - the official position and land of the guard can be hereditary, but it is still not as high as the knight's gold content.

Therefore, this man won this opportunity from many colleagues despite the danger, just to go further. Get the Sparkling Knight. Originally, I thought that this time I would go into the forest at least to shed a layer of skin. Unexpectedly, as soon as he set off, he took the initiative to send it to the door, and Ordas was so happy that snot bubbles came out.

After completing this mission, Lao Tzu will be able to add a qualification to his resume, and maybe he can directly promote himself to a knighthood by taking advantage of the demonic disaster-he thought beautifully.

A huge wind from nowhere blew towards the mountain road, and countless dust on the mountain road was blown up, and the soldiers had to squint their eyes and struggle.

At this moment, the sky was already dark, and the blood-like sunset had completely sunk into the depths of the earth. The inky black night covered every inch of the mountain forest, and only the light of the torch burned on the dark ground remained.

The wind was whining. The warriors had to protect the slanting flames with their hands, so the lighting was much smaller, and with the dust that filled the mountains, visibility was reduced to only a dozen yards.

Then everything in front of me became in a trance, swaying from side to side like aquatic plants dancing in a stream, and gradually blurred, like a black veil over it.

“......”

Ordas narrowed his eyes and looked at the dust and mist that filled the mountains, faintly sensing a hint of danger, and immediately touched the saber in his right hand.

"Tick Tick ......"

In the dark mountain road, the sound of slime dripping spread into the air like a small circle of ripples on the surface of the lake suddenly hit by raindrops. In the space shrouded in the twilight, there was a strange aura wandering, and in the dim darkness that could not be seen, it seemed that something dangerous was hidden, and the surrounding temperature was falling at an imperceptible speed, and the mana fluctuations in the air were slowly condensing.

"What an unexpected ......"

A cold and hard but indescribable strange voice came from the dim dust: "I didn't expect to meet an army here......"

"What kind of person? Ordath clenched the hilt of his sword, his gaze cast into the depths of the dust, judging the other man's position by the source of the sound.

A low laugh rang out in the darkness, cold and dry, echoing around the mountain walls. The laughter was like a swarm of black insects, squeezing in from the dust, flying in all directions, twisting and falling in the space, which was extremely harsh.

“......”

Ordaz looked at the darkness at the end of the dust, and made a gesture to his nearby subordinates, and the low sound of a horn suddenly rose into the sky, gradually masking the strange laughter.

The legions also quickly formed a dense phalanx of tortoises, shields formed an impregnable wall, and the spears as thin as a forest pointed outwards in unison, defending against unknown enemies in the darkness.

"Hahaha...... Hahaha......"

The gloomy laughter and the sound of sticky water droplets came in waves, becoming more and more violent, and the space seemed to be boiling.

"Something, get out of here!"

Ordath drew his saber and tried to find the source of the sound, which immediately turned into a whining wind.

The ethereal laughter continued to stir in the dust, and the white moonlight shone through the shadows of the trees, reflecting pale white spots on the black and inky ground.

"Either it's a demonic plague...... Or something trickier than the Scourge. ”

Ordaz felt his ear drums begin to buzz, and his heart sank little by little like a drowning man. His nerves tensed like a stretched bowstring, pricking up his ears to catch every slight sound.

The road in the mountains and forests gradually melted in the darkness, and the dust around it seemed to be polluted with thick ink. It gradually becomes dark and sticky. The bleak woods on the roadside, ghostly and staggered, left pale moonlight through the branches. Twinkle and flicker, intertwined into a black and white spiral ribbon of light, adhered to the gray ground, and spread to the feet of the entire legion.

"Damn, enclosed space!?no!Illusion!? Not right either!"

Ordath watched the spatial anomaly, knowing that the enemy was far stronger than expected, and immediately gritted his teeth and ordered: "Fight me! Break the fog away for me!"

"There's no need, I'm coming. ”

The figure of a middle-aged man vaguely appeared in the dim shadows, burly. Dressed in knee-length black robes, a pair of gloomy eyes looked in the direction of the tomb robber's father and son in the center of the military formation.

“......”

Derek and Hank shuddered, only to feel as if their hearts were pierced by an ice spear, and a cold chill quickly flowed through their bodies along the blood.

"Good luck. ”

The corners of Calve's mouth stiffened and arcped. The sound of a pool of stagnant water. Combined with the numb and empty expression on his face, it was like a gust of wind blowing from the depths of darkness. The space quickly became eerie and distorted, like a thick stench blowing from the swamp of death.

"Kill him!"

Ordath gave an order, and the Rune warriors quickly took out their lightning guns, and the short spears filled with lightning rose one by one, aiming at the strange figure not far away, and densely covered away.

Whew!

The short spears that arced forward formed a huge net and pressed against the enemy's figure. Everywhere they passed, the dust stirred, and the tiny sparks exploded one after another.

"You're Celtic. If you are willing to obey the dispatch of the Rosevians, you deserve to die. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the air around Calf suddenly twisted into a transparent vortex like a liquid, and then there was a loud bang.

Whoosh!

A huge gravitational force surged out of the whirlpool, swept the lightning gun like a wave of water, twisted and pulled the trajectory of the gun, and sucked all that was left into the whirlpool.

Bang!

A row of dazzling white light joined into a cutting surface, slashing into the vortex like a giant axe, and the essence of the life force repelling the non-self completely exploded, instantly annihilating the spell cast by the enemy, and at the same time swept through his body, breaking it up and down at once.

"It worked!"

Thin white smoke rose from the muzzle of the rapid-fire gun, and a platoon of guards cheered when they saw the success of the blow.

"This is rapid-fire guns...... You can blow up my body......"

Calf muttered to himself with a hollow look, and his body suddenly turned into a dark green slurry with a "bang", gurgling up from the ground, and quickly blooming with a green faint light.

As the dark green liquid flowed, it began to expand from the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a rapidly expanding cocoon, shimmering with a green glow. The sarcoma-covered epidermis does not break and dissolve, and something that looks like an octopus tentacle emerges and wriggles in a mess.

Whoosh!

The lightning spear was thrown out like a flying locust, covering the surface of the cocoon one after another, and in the huge roaring explosion, the flames rose into the sky, and the monster with a height of twenty yards was instantly engulfed by the flames.

The terrifying explosion destroyed most of the Cocoon's body in the first place, and then a huge shockwave swept it up, smashing into the distant forest with a heavy air current, and tumbling all the way out for hundreds of yards with a thud.

The monster's festering body rubbed against the ground, and the fire chased after it like a chain, and a long ravine was plowed along the ground.

At the same time, the pieces of flesh that Calf had sprinkled on the ground grew octopus-like tentacles like crazy vines, supporting the body to churn up, cracking with a "snap" in the middle, and growing huge mouthparts full of sharp teeth.

Hundreds of monsters crawled like spiders on the ground, flying up from a distance of more than a dozen yards, spreading their tentacles and shooting them in the faces of the soldiers in front rows.

Boom boom boom!

The organized water lizards opened their mouths one after another, swallowed out a series of sharp water cannons, and rained down on the monsters on the ground, destroying them by two-thirds of them in a wave of barrage.

"Attack! Keep attacking!"

Ordath roared and drew a spear, white flames swirling around the body of the spear, and a straight ray of light shot out, stabbing at the monster that was suppressed by the fire hundreds of yards away.

Boom!

The spear full of fighting spirit roared through the air flow, accurately stabbed the giant cocoon, and with the spear thrown by the guard, it was densely pierced on Calf's body, and it was contained in the air, and the fighting qi of the internal explosion made the monster swell up, forming an ugly posture like a huge sea urchin.

Quack!

Suddenly, the sea urchin suddenly swelled and contracted, turning its flesh inside out, revealing countless sharp spears embedded in its body, with eroded internal organs and intestines, and bloody reflections.

"Defend the army!

At the sound of the commander's order, the elite guard immediately raised the heavy steel shield diagonally, rushed to the first row of shielders in the military formation, and connected them into a convex arc.

Bang

In the dense and violent penetrating sound, the fighting energy of the whole body of the Wei Suo Army was puffed up to the limit, and the bones were still smashed by the potential energy carried by the spear body, and the ground under his feet cracked in large swaths, spraying out thin dust.

The shield-protected position on the periphery of the military formation barely showed any damage, but the warriors on the inner side were not so lucky, the spears as fast as lightning pierced down, and they didn't have time to resist at all, and they were pierced through the armor one by one.

Bang bang!

A dense line of white light pierced through the dust, hitting the monster's still reformed body, and it exploded to smithereens again.

The guards armed with rapid-fire guns are all veterans who have survived the counterattack, and the nerves in their heads have long been tenacious like steel wires after years of training, and even if the spears cover the military formation like raindrops, they can still maintain the offensive firmly and tenaciously.

Bang bang!

The precise three-stage shots, intertwined and spewed thick tongues of fire, converged into a shining torrent in the dim night, and the barrage bombarded the monster's body in an orderly manner, and soon exploded it into minced meat again.

Da Da Da ...... Da-da-da-da.

The charred minced flesh sprinkled to the ground like hail, obviously it had been burned to carbonization by the fighting qi, and after the charred shell was shattered on the ground, it could reveal fresh pieces of flesh, and the mouthparts and tentacles full of fangs grew and ejected, crowding the border guards who flew towards the shrinking defense line.

"It's not dead to be blown up like this...... Is this bastard a man or a monster......"

Ordas gritted his teeth and threw a spear, and found that the bombardment of artillery fire seemed to shake the "illusion", and part of the dense fog had been shaken away, revealing the forest mountain road.

He quickly turned his head to look at the father and son of the tomb robbers, only to find that the old tomb robbers were actually mixed in the legion, roaring and throwing spears, and the force was actually not small.

"Take them away first, and make sure these two men are in the hands of the Governor intact!"

As he spoke, the man threw his sword at his own soldiers, and sneered, "Take my sword and go back, and tell the Governor that Ordas died without complaint, and I hope he will treat my heir well." (To be continued.) )
