The sound of horses' hooves was murderous, and this time the staff officer seemed to be really angry. He led the crowd to rush ahead of the crowd, rushing through one hill after another, with a momentum like a rainbow, and the configuration of the whole cavalry made them move like lightning and thunder, but they scurried like headless flies, but they were very fierce and fast, but it was useless.
After killing the negotiation bandit, the staff officer immediately sent tracking dogs to try to chase the man's scent all the way to their residence. But the tracking dog only walked for a moment before it hit a river directly, and the smell was cut off. But the staff officers did not give up, unless they still had teleportation technology, they must be nearby, and immediately decided to search along the coast.
The staff officer felt that he had found the general location, and there was no longer a need to divide the troops, so he led everyone here as the center of the circle, and began to gallop his horse and radiate outward to find it. With the speed of the Thunder Knights, even if the average bandit hears the sound, he may not have time to hide.
But it is a pity that the morning passed, in vain, and nothing was gained. At noon, the fog in the depths of the Carudia Hills generally dissipates for a while, and at this time on the top of the hills, the whole area is quiet, as if there has never been such a thing as a bandit here, and when I look back, everyone's faces are clearly written with exhaustion, the horses are panting, and the people and horses are already soaked. It's not just sweat, it's moisture.
There is nowhere to use the strength, there is no strength to start, and the feeling of punching is really uncomfortable. Anger, anxiety, irritability, and uneasiness were all written on the face of the staff officer, the sword was clenched tightly in his hand, and the muscles were bursting out, and he wanted to find a punching bag to vent, but he finally held back.
"Staff officer?" asked cautiously from the man on the side, "Now ......"
"Staff officer," said Lieutenant Colonel House, "let's rest for a while, and then run down, the horses will not be able to stand it." ”
The staff officer had no choice, put away his sword, and the anger on his face was very obvious, but he couldn't ignore the common sense of the march, so he could only wave his hand: "Rest in place." ”
Everyone was relieved, and each cavalryman cherished his mount very much, and this kind of wild gallop almost regardless of horsepower was very distressing. Many people took steps to wipe the sweat of the horses, let the horses graze, and at the same time arranged people to stand guard around, all of which did not need staff officers to guide.
The staff officer sat under a small tree with House and a few other officers, and the atmosphere was dreary, and no one spoke. The tracking dog chased to the river and lost its trace, it can only be chased around the river, can it really be said that they will not be able to teleport?
"Could it be that their camp is in the water?" there was a moment of silence before Lieutenant Colonel House finally broke the silence.
"It's not a fish-man, how can you be in the water?" the staff officer only subconsciously retorted.
"Maybe there's just a passage under the river, maybe there's some hole in the middle that connects to it. Lieutenant Colonel House guessed.
Someone took it for granted and laughed: "There is a hole under the river? Isn't the hole also filled with water? Can this live in people?"
"A hole in the ground is not necessarily underground, maybe a cavity in the wall of a hill, above the horizon. There is a U-shaped pipe underneath the river that connects to the bottom of the river. Lieutenant Colonel House had to explain specifically.
The staff officer still shook his head: "Can the bandits do this kind of project?"
"Natural, perhaps?" replied Lieutenant Colonel House.
The staff officer had nothing to say, so he could only bow his head in contemplation, his brows furrowed, and it seemed quite difficult to look at him.
Lieutenant Colonel House had to ask again, "What is the staff officer worried about?"
"If it's a hole in the bottom of the river, then our cavalry superiority won't be brought into play," replied the staff officer, "and no one knows whether it's a real camp or a trap underground." "Among the kidnapped people, there are many 6th-order masters, but at this time, they seem to be completely powerless to resist, although the staff strength is stronger, but at this time there is no bottom at all.
"And what can the staff officer do?" House kicked the question back to him.
The staff officer was silent for a while, so everyone also cooperated with the silence, interpreting the melancholy atmosphere to the extreme.
Kevin sends his parrot to eavesdrop on the side and pass it all on to him. To the level of this staff officer, Kevin was again speechless. Of the entire officers who went out on the expedition, only Lieutenant Colonel House seemed to be of a certain level, but he was limited to his rank and position, and obviously he couldn't say much.
This group of people may have strong personal strength, and they may have learned some routine tactical techniques, but unfortunately the ability to adapt on the spot is almost zero. But Kevin couldn't say anything more, the staff officer was already very dissatisfied with himself, and could only secretly worry deeply about this operation.
After a two-hour break, everyone had lunch, and the staff officer finally made up his mind. Stood up and ordered: "Let's go, let's go back to the place we tracked, and everyone will go into the water to look for it, and see if there are any caves or anything like that." ”
The military order is like a mountain, and after a word, the squad commanders have automatically started to get busy. You can no longer ride a horse or wear armor when you go into the water, you can only go into the water shirtless, and you can hold a sword in your hand at most. Horses and armor were placed on the shore, a third of them went into the water, and two-thirds watched from the shore.
The river is not deep, but two or three meters, but it is not clear, it is full of algae, there are no monsters in the water, and it is relatively safe.
The staff officers and all the officers stood on the shore, just looking at the river with serious expressions, and from time to time someone showed his head to breathe, or a burst of water bubbled, and the whole river began to become more muddy. All the soldiers who went into the water were promised to be honored when they returned, which was also the motivation for them to go into the water.
Suddenly, there was a sound of water, and a soldier came out and touched his face: "Staff officer, I found a hole in the ground here, it seems to be very deep, at least so big!" The soldier directly opened his hand to the maximum, and it seemed that several people could get into it at the same time.
The staff officer's face changed, and he glanced at several officers around him. It stands to reason that he should be happy to finally find the other party's hiding nest, but at this time he seems very entangled and reluctant. 【】
"A few of you, let's go and have a look," the staff officer designated a few more people on the side, "go and have a look again, and verify." ”
"Yes!" a few people on the side immediately snorted into the water. A moment came up: "Staff officer, it's true, it seems that there is really a passage inside." ”
"Yes!" the staff officer sighed. In fact, when the Thunder Knights launched an attack, it was the commander who rushed to the front, and the commander had the highest strength, more than one grade beyond the soldiers, which was not only a sharp knife assault, but also boosted morale. Launching into the water to let the soldiers go down can barely be said to be exploring, but now that the results of the probing are out, the staff officer, as the commander on the spot, must be the first to enter the water and take the lead in the charge.
This is the tradition of the Thunder Knights, otherwise he would have no prestige. But this time the launch is really very dangerous. The staff officer is actually not stupid, this time the bandit is not ordinary, of course he can feel it.
"Counselor," suddenly Kevin's parrot spoke, "I have to warn you, don't go in! ”
As soon as these words came out, the staff officer immediately became angry: "It must be a trap? How do you know that it must be a trap?"
"Staff officer, if you think about it carefully, almost every move we make is under the control of the other party, and if we find a cave at the bottom of the river, don't the other party know that this kind of place is small and underwater, and there is no mage to assist us. Is there a more disadvantageous situation than losing a horse and losing armor?" Kevin couldn't help but curse on the other side.
"Shut up for me!" the staff officer roared, "disturb the morale of the army, and say another word, and punish you when I go back!"
Kevin was speechless in the distance, to be honest, he really couldn't stand it before he spoke, but unexpectedly, the staff officer liked to raise the bar with him, and the staff officer had begun to subconsciously oppose him, and he opposed for the sake of opposition.
"Brothers," the staff officer finished scolding, and his spirits also perked, "This group of bandits has nothing to say, at least they have tied up more than sixty of our brothers, and now their lives and deaths are uncertain." Can you not save it?"
"No!" the sergeants had already raised their weapons.
"So there's not much time left, maybe we can rush in and save you!" Lieutenant Colonel House, you stay on the shore with 20 people to pick you up," the staff officer gritted his teeth, did not take off his armor, and jumped into the water: "The others will rush with me!"
"Yes!" The morale was ignited instantly, and most of the soldiers had no brains, and as soon as the atmosphere arrived, they immediately began to be enthusiastic.
And Kevin closed his eyes, as if he couldn't bear to watch the next scene, but he was helpless. I wanted to manipulate the parrot to ask Lieutenant Colonel House what he thought, but considering the problem of the army's morale, he finally stopped alive and could only do his own work first.
The staff officer took the lead in the charge, the long sword slashed, almost splitting the water waves, and the cyan fighting spirit burst out, indicating that he was already a seventh-order warrior. Once you get serious, you can't be underestimated. The cyan fighting qi enveloped his whole body, and even if he was slashed by ordinary arrows or ordinary traps, he could not be hurt.
When he opened the way first, it seemed that in the blink of an eye, through the waterway, he was followed by several elite 6th-order masters, and he was like a bamboo. There were indeed some traps on the edge of the water hole, and when people passed, some fishing nets were immediately popped out to try to block them. But these mechanisms can't even get close, they have been split open by the fighting spirit and bounced aside.
With the splash of water and the flickering of blue light, the staff officer had already flown out of the water. Before he could stand firmly, he saw a cold light flickering, and countless arrows flew in all directions.
"Hah!" the staff officer shouted, and all the arrows were bounced off. A group of poorly dressed bandits around them were also dizzy from the shock. The staff officer was unceremonious, and the sword qi swept through, speeding around like a crescent-shaped boomerang, and the heads of the six thieves suddenly fell to the ground.
A 7th-order master is enough to easily use a higher-level Dou Qi technique, and in the face of a group of bandits who are nothing more than red Dou Qi, it is undoubtedly crushing.
"Is this a trap?" the staff officer sneered and strode forward, looking left and right at the same time. The cave was large, the walls were lit by torches, and a dozen bandits ran in front of them, with axes in their hands and dressed in tattered clothes. In the distance, there was a pile of white corpses lying on the ground, which seemed to have been stripped naked and thrown over there.
"You killed all the prisoners?" the staff officer was furious, although he had been mentally prepared for it. But even so, it was hard to believe that there were many of them who were masters of the 6th order yellow fighting spirit, just how did these bandits manage to capture them? he would even rather believe that the soldiers had betrayed him, which was more in line with common sense.
For a long time, personal strength has been one of the criteria for judging a person's strength and weakness, and the higher the vindictiveness, the more secure the person. Although the weak defeat the strong exists, it is a minority after all. And now, this standard has been broken on such a large scale, as a strong person, it is difficult to understand, and at the same time, I am even more uneasy. This is the uneasiness of being unable to safely protect oneself with a vindictive spirit.
It seems that he vaguely feels that no matter how strong he is, he will still be killed by this group of fools, so what's the point of practicing fighting spirit?
"Hahaha!" one of the thieves jumped out and mocked, "We are the protagonists, and it is common for the protagonist to defeat the strong with the weak. Hahaha!"
"Hmph!" the staff officer gritted his teeth, and the blade of the sword slashed, without mercy. The bandits were shattered almost instantly, and even the sixth-order soldiers behind them didn't have time to make a move, and looked at their commander with some surprise.
"The staff officer is very skilled. "Someone took the opportunity to make a fuss.
"Is it over? so soon?" someone was still watching.
Someone walked up to the group of corpses, bowed his head and cried: "This is our team. ”
Some people even vented their anger at the corpse of the bandit, kicking a head away: "Fake!
The crowd was in different moods, searching for or carrying the corpses, and they seemed to win, but no one could laugh. The staff officer sat stupidly in the middle, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, there was a loud bang on the mountain wall, and the whole hill shook as a whole, and the surrounding walls suddenly splashed with rubble, and countless stone slabs fell on the roof of the cave. The crowd was terrified and instantly chaotic.
"The cave is about to collapse!" "Quick! Go out to the waterway!" "Don't mess around!" "The staff officer will go first?" "The waterway has been blocked!" ......
A desperate shout, in the blink of an eye, the torch was extinguished, and it became pitch black, and everyone instantly burst out with fighting energy, illuminated with fighting energy, but they only saw the entire cave roof, and the momentum of thunder smashed down.
Lieutenant Colonel House, who was still outside at this time, was completely at a loss, and they watched as the entire hill suddenly lowered by three to five meters, and the huge shaking caused the ground to shake wildly, and countless messy things rolled down the hill. Because of the humidity, there was no dust, but there was still a wave of air.
"Staff!" everyone could only subconsciously shout.
Hill did not answer.
"Lieutenant Colonel House," Kevin's parrot said immediately, "retreat, don't think about saving people." The bandits must be peeping on the sidelines, and there are only 20 or so people left who can be said to be very dangerous. Retreat, bring someone again, I'll be waiting for you here. ”
Lieutenant Colonel House frowned and said nothing, and the guards on the side looked at him anxiously.
Suddenly, a blue light broke through the ground, and everyone was overjoyed. The staff officer was able to break through the ground from the cave collapse with fighting spirit, and he really deserved to be a 7th-order master.
Several soldiers hurriedly greeted him: "Staff officer, are you alright?"
At this time, the staff officer's face was covered with dirt, his hands were shaking, and he seemed to be unable to hold his sword steadily. Seeing everyone's concern, I couldn't help but burst into tears.
"We ...... Won......" he said with difficulty.
"Won, great!" Some soldiers were already happy, but then they felt that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly fell silent again. Lieutenant Colonel House just looked at him and didn't say a word.
"Help me up," the staff officer began, "we have already killed all the bandits inside, but we didn't expect that at the last moment, the bandits actually collapsed the cave and died with us." ”
Lieutenant Colonel House nodded: "Then let's withdraw." "Whether it is true or not, only the staff officer alone knows, but at this time everyone prefers to believe that it is true. There is only one exception.
Kevin's parrot spoke again: "May I interject?"
"Shut up!" the staff officer instantly looked nervous, "Remember, we've won, mission accomplished." Withdrawn now. You can go back to your master. ”
"Yes, sir. The parrot immediately saluted, and flew towards Kevin.
"Can you come and pick me up?" Kevin asked again.
The parrot replied, "I'm sorry sir, I'm already on my way back." There is no way to deliver messages anymore. ”
Kevin sighed, the catapult can't be withdrawn if he wants to, this is the worst outcome, and what awaits him will be a tough battle. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
