Act 70 Sand Ghost IV
The city of Gena and Ru Gauin have teamed up to mop down various monsters in the vicinity.
Due to its proximity to the oasis, there used to be an overwhelming population of scavenging vultures, a crowd of leopard beasts from eight tribes, and countless sandworms.
But as time went on, the monsters gradually lost the tug-of-war with the humans, and their numbers continued to decrease.
As early as a few years ago, the activity of sweeping monsters came to an end, and the only remaining monsters hid in Tibet, and they could be considered to have found a place to go.
It is not for nothing that the Dark Gold Leopard Orcs have discovered anomalies.
Recently, a few days ago, about fifty cavalry men appeared from the direction of the city of Jina and left in a very hurry, heading west.
The Dark Gold Leopard Orcs, who have always been wary of humans, sent scouts to track them down, but were attacked by a group of scavenging vultures on the way.
As for Lu Gain, he didn't find anything.
"Fifty human cavalry, what can they do?"
Karasawa couldn't help but wonder that to the west was the heart of the Aranok region, maybe there were towns there, or something else...
This information is not of much value.
"How many men do you have now?"
Tang Ze asked the green leopard orc, he seemed to have killed a lot just now.
"Fifteen warriors, two scouts."
The green leopard orc replied calmly, kneeling on the sand and hanging his head.
"I'll give you some time to gradually subdue the other tribes in the Aranok region."
His green eyes flickered, "Be cautious and try to avoid humans and professionals." ”
The strengthened green leopard orcs are undoubtedly very powerful dark gold leopard orcs, and as long as they are given enough time, Tang Ze can control a large number of leopard orcs.
But this method is only effective for leopard orcs, who have a somewhat peculiar internal composition and many elements of leader worship.
On the contrary, the scavenging vulture, which also acts in groups, values blood relations, and seems to act in groups, but in fact it is the cooperative action of multiple bloodlines, which is also the reason why there are many nests in a mountain rock.
But if you have the chance, it's not bad to catch a scavenging vulture.
"Go ahead."
Tang Ze thought so and let the green leopard orc go after the nearest tribe while he headed in the direction of the previous ruins.
Wings waved, wind and sand surged.
The desert area is vast, and you can admire the large chunks of the sky at a glance.
At this moment, the canopy of heaven has taken on a purple color, and a glimmer of dawn blooms on the edge, and the fiery yellow is hidden in it, ready to spread at any time.
Stomp stomped, trampled stomped.
Horses' hooves are flying, and sand is rolling.
Keno Delson rode at the front of the group, saw the ruins not far away, grabbed the reins, and gestured to the soldiers behind.
They quickly caught up.
"There's the ruins ahead."
"Check the monsters around you, be careful."
"Mr. Philon, is there anything we should do?"
Philen smiled when he heard this: "You have already done everything that needs to be done, and leave the rest to the professionals." ”
During his time in the Vosar Plains, Philon hunted monsters for a living, frequenting caves and fields to protect villages and towns. At first glance, it seems to be a comfortable and romantic ranger life, but in fact there is bitterness.
After meeting many travelers and merchants, Philon became famous, however, he became a merchant with a tired heart and a sword.
He walked slowly, cautiously approaching the ruins.
Carrying a slender sword, many scenes flashed through Philon's mind, and familiar combat experience emerged.
On the edge of an earthen wall, Philon pinched the bloodstained sand and sniffed it carefully. He could judge the strength of a monster based on the breath left behind by the bloodstains.
There was still a lot to observe, and in the meantime, the soldiers patrolling the perimeter returned to Keno Delson.
"No monsters, my lord."
"But there are the feathers of the vulture bird, and there is not much sand on them, and it looks like they were left recently."
"Are we watching him right here, my lord?"
Keno Delson was silent for a while, and then said, "Mr. Philon is a professional, and we should trust him not to cause him trouble." ”
"Come, take me to see the feathers of the vulture bird you found."
"Yes, my lord."
Unable to wait here, Keno decided to do what he could, glanced down, and quickly rode away.
About 300 meters from the ruins, Keno Delson found a puddle of filth.
There was an unpleasant smell of blood mixed with sand, but he dismounted, patiently sorting through the mess, and the soldiers next to him looked at him with admiration.
Handling the flesh and blood of monsters requires courage and skill, otherwise it will be easy to be infected by germs and toxins, which will be troublesome.
People who haven't fought monsters can't deal with this foul filth, that's the experience.
It takes a lot of experience to trade your life for.
"Yellow hair... The tissues and bones are shattered like this... Incredible..."
Keno Delson frowned, his pupils narrowed.
Judging by the smell and the color of the hair, it is not difficult to tell that the filth comes from the leopard orc monster.
But that's not the point, the point is how the leopard orc monster can become this disgusting filth, under normal circumstances, a strong ordinary leopard orc monster can compete with more than a dozen well-trained ordinary soldiers.
Has it been attacked by vultures, but the bones don't shatter like this.
It looked like it had been put into some kind of meat grinder, the crumbs had turned into a paste, the kind of large meat grinder he had only seen in the slaughterhouse of Gena City.
"It's just a part of the monster, it should have been blown by the wind and sand."
Keno Delson took off his gloves and looked at the gradually clearing sky with a heavy face, and he suddenly had a very bad premonition.
"Your Excellency?"
The soldier felt the atmosphere and spoke tentatively.
"Didn't you find the monster nearby?"
For some reason, Keno Delson repeatedly confirmed this fact, and the soldiers, although confused, responded truthfully.
"That's right, sir." "There are no monsters."
"Whew."
Keno Delson took a deep breath, spit it out again, and said very calmly: "A few days ago, there were scouts who saw vulture monsters and orc monsters here, and they won't leave anytime soon. ”
“... What do you mean? ”
"What terrible attack they've suffered, I suspect they're all the same... Maybe it's a monster... Killed. ”
Keno Delson stood up, "There's no way to know for sure how they were killed... It's rare to be so completely crushed. ”
His words unsettled the soldiers, even though there was no element of exaggeration in them.
"Let's go back, maybe Philen has made some new discoveries."
"The torch can be extinguished."
Keno Delson looked at the sky, remounted his horse with a group of soldiers, and galloped in the direction of the ruins.
When I got closer, I saw a few shadows entanglement in the dim light.
Philon was wielding his blade and fighting a few deft leopard orc scouts, and the situation was not tense, he seemed to be at ease.
Jingle and sparks splash occasionally.
As if sensing the shaking of the ground, the leopard orc scouts glanced in Keno's direction, quickly stopped their claws and fled in all directions. [.]
