445. Leave the small town of Umezu
A giant hellhound as a bull jumped into the temple courtyard and rushed to the roof of the temple, a pair of bloodthirsty eyes staring at the zipline under the Statue of Liberty, the vicious dog let out a hysterical roar in the direction of the zipline, its body was like an erupting volcano, the lava streaks all over its body became radiant in the dark night, and a scorching flame ignited on the body of the hellhound, and it opened its huge mouth violently.
The abdomen contracted violently, and a stream of hot magma erupted from the throat of the giant hellhound, and a tongue of fire swept across the roof of the temple, and countless sparks flew down to the bottom of the temple, and the hot magma poured on the bushes, and these lush bushes burst into flames.
Just as the flames lit up, the last of the constructed knights skimmed the zipline and crashed headlong into the fir tree in a panic.
One of the knights in the team of knights appeared in the firelight, he slid down from the fir tree, and a large group of hellhounds chased out of the temple, his back leaned against the fir tree, and drew the knight's sword at his waist, at this moment his face was slightly pale, although there was fear in his eyes, but he was still determined to make lunges.
He faced the hellhounds that rushed up, and a knight statue appeared behind him, and he knew that he couldn't outrun the hellhounds with his speed, so he was ready to kill the hellhounds with his own strength, and he would kill a few more hellhounds to the death.
At this moment, there was a 'click' sound from the feet of the Constructed Knight, and a bottle of secondary invisibility potion appeared at his feet.
This was thrown to him by Viscount Emmett hidden in the shadows, he didn't dare to think about it, he quickly picked up the bottle of invisibility potion from the ground, pulled out the cork on the mouth of the bottle and drank it in one gulp, and then before his body became dim, he stepped into the shadow of the tree, and his body disappeared without a trace.
The horde of hellhounds pounced under the tree and pounced again.
The three giant hellhounds that rushed to the front once again spewed hot lava, but this time they didn't burn out the Constructed Knight in the shadows.
……
Just after the constructed knight regained his invisibility, the silhouette of the body of Viscount Emmett and others appeared in his field of vision again, Samira waved at him again and again, and the constructed knight did not dare to slack off this time, and hurriedly ran out from under the tree according to the instructions of the half-elf archer.
No sooner had he escaped from under the fir tree than the red-hot lava erupted, nearly revealing him again.
The half-elf archers and a few other knights stood on the high wall across the street behind the temple, and those hellhounds were clearly under the high wall, but they just ignored them.
The half-elven archer Samira quickly left the temple along the high wall with a team of knight scouts, and the group made a large circle before returning to the house where Surdak and Andrew were.
Surdak saw that the courtyard door was quietly pushed open, but there was no figure in sight at the door, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, not showing his body meant that there was no battle, so there would probably be no attrition, Surdak jumped into the courtyard from the ridge of the roof with Andrew, and saw that the evacuation pattern appeared on the wall.
Surdak said to the boy, "Buta, do you know where it is safest to leave the town?" ”
Without hesitation, the boy Buta nodded and said, "I know! ”
He didn't go through the front door, he ran straight through the courtyard to the alley behind, and whispered to Surdak and Andrew, "Follow me!" ”
The boy hesitated for a moment and asked Surdak, "Do you know how to swim?" ”
Even if the Constructed Knight couldn't swim and fall into the river, he couldn't drown, Surdak nodded without hesitation.
He knows that Hellhounds hate places where there is water, because they have the heat of lava in their bodies, and once they fall into the water, their skin will quickly petrify, and as long as they move, the skin on their bodies will fall off in pieces, although it will not be fatal, but it will definitely make Hellhounds feel painful.
Seeing Surdak nodding, Buta didn't say anything more, but turned around and went into the alley, leading the way without saying a word.
This road was familiar to Buta, and he soon took Surdak and Andrew to the side of the river in the town, saying that it was an inland river, which looked more like a large canal, and there were two hellhounds at the dock by the river, and this ordinary hellhound was basically delivering food to Surdak and Andrew.
Buta just blinked, Surdak had already rushed up and cut off the head of a hellhound, and the other hellhound didn't have time to react at all, and was stunned by Surdak with the dwarven chain shield in his hand, and Andrew, who came one step later, could only cut off the head of the second hellhound with the giant axe in his hand.
The dock fell completely silent.
The boy Buta pointed in the direction of the river and said to Andrew, "You can leave the town by going downstream along this river, those hellhounds don't like water, there are very few hellhounds on both sides of this river, and you can dive out all the time." ”
With that, the boy plucked two reeds from the shore, peeled off the leaves on them, and made two snorkels and handed them to Andrew and Surdak.
With a snorkel in his hand, Andrew asked the boy Buta with a puzzled expression, "Since you know how to leave the town, why didn't you run away in the first place?" ”
"It was too late!" The boy Buta shook his head lightly and said with a wry smile.
At this time, Surdak squatted in front of the brave boy Buta, looked at his big clear eyes, and asked seriously, "Hey! Buta, leave the town with us, we can take you to the city of Vozhmara, do you want to come with us? ”
Buta blinked, pointed to his nose and confirmed, "Me? ”
Surdak nodded.
Buta thought for a few seconds with a puzzled expression, and then said to Surdak, "I would love to go with you...... But I can't, I still have to take care of those guys, without me, they will starve to death in the basement when they run out of food. ”
Although he knew that this would be the answer, Surdak couldn't help but ask Buta again before leaving.
Surdak patted Buta's thin shoulder vigorously and said, "Then you have to take care...... It's best to hide in the basement too, it's better not to come out if you can, it won't be long before we'll be back! ”
"I know." Buta nodded earnestly.
By this time, there were faint ripples on the surface of the river, and one reed pipe after another stretched out from the black surface of the river.
Surdak also walked towards the stone steps of the pier, but before he stepped into the river, he suddenly stopped, he turned around and reached out to his waist, pulled out a magic scroll from his waist bag, threw it to Buta, and said to him, "By the way, these are for you to take for emergency!" ”
Buta stood on the dock, looked at the magic scroll in his hand with a blank expression, and asked curiously, "What is this?" ”
Surdak didn't want to explain how to use the scrolls, which were not cheap, but many people still knew how to use them.
He said to the boy, "The fire-gathering scroll can be used instead of firewood, but this scroll can only last for twenty hours, so be careful to save money." ”
Then he took out a bag full of marching rations from his magic waist bag, and said carefully to Buta: "These are marching rations, although they are a little unpalatable, but such a small bag can sustain a person for a day, and can keep you in the basement for a few more days." ”
After doing this, Surdak descended the river step by step and dived into the water.
The boy didn't dare to stand on the dock all the time, so he hurriedly picked up a bag of marching rations, inserted the magic scroll into the waistband of his trousers, and quickly slipped into an alley, where he disappeared in an instant.
……
The river in the town is connected to the waterway of the river outside the town, so the team sneaks out of the town through the river and waterway without being noticed by the hellhounds.
The reconnaissance team landed by a bush outside the city.
At this time, all the members of the team had already shown their figures, everyone was sitting wet in the bushes, taking advantage of the half-elf archers to identify the specific location of the team, Viscount Emmett, who had been highly nervous for most of the night, finally breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't care about the thorns on the branches of the bushes behind him, and lay directly on them, letting his body relax.
At this time, several knights in costume who saw the son of the demon in the temple began to discuss:
"What the hell are those things?"
Everyone was a little unclear, and someone said directly: "How can a demon person be born in the belly of a dog?" ”
Viscount Emmett only then spoke: "The Hell Demon Clan did this, probably to avoid the collapse of the Hell Passage when passing through the high-level Demon Clan, they hid their offspring in the belly of the Hell Female Dog, and let those Hell Female Dogs pass through the Hell Passage, there is no problem, many Hell Demon Clans are using this method at the beginning of a certain face, and those are the sons of the Demons." ”
"We must get this news out as soon as possible, first go and join the big army, and then find a safe place to send a signal to those mage scouts."
"They must know about these children of demons. Speaking of which, the sons of demons born to these inferior demons and hellish beasts have another name - magicians call them 'demons'. ”
"They will inherit half of their father's command, and once they grow up, they will become the leaders of the hellhounds."
Surdak had never heard of such a thing before, and it was a little appalling to think about it now.
The knight scout team didn't stay at the river for long, there were still hellhounds patrolling back and forth, but a few hellhounds couldn't pose a threat to the knight team at all, and the smell of the people was masked by man-eating pollen, and the sensitive nose of the hellhound was useless, so ambushing the hellhound became simple.
Viscount Emmett and his party of seven rushed back to the battlefield in the forest, on this side of the battlefield.
At this moment, there are still a large number of hellhounds gathering from all directions, and the valley mouth is already full of a large number of hell dog corpses at this time, a team of guard battalion knights hold shields in their hands, and form a shield wall at the valley mouth, those hell dogs pounce on and fight with these knights, there are several giant hell dogs hidden in the dog group, and ordinary knights can't stop them at all.
A giant hellhound suddenly pounced on a knight of the guard battalion holding a knight's spear, and just as Surdak passed by, a cross-body step rushed forward, and the dwarven chain shield in his hand hit the side of the hellhound's face, and immediately burst out a silver light, smashing the hellhound staggering.
The knight of the guard battalion who crawled out from under the giant hellhound took the opportunity to pierce the giant hellhound with a single shot, and the giant hellhound was extremely tenacious, and bit the knight back, but was plunged into the eye socket of the giant hellhound by Surdak with a sword.
The battle has been going on for most of the night, and the attacks of the hellhounds have not stopped.
The three Guards Battalion Knights take turns to fight, and only when the attacking Hellhounds appear in the Giant Hellhounds, the Constructed Knights in the team will rush out and take out the Giant Hellhounds.
Seeing Viscount Emmett return safely with a squad of knights, the Hylanza guard battalion guarding the valley let out a cheer of celebration.
In fact, only the reconnaissance team of the Haylanza Guard Battalion returned the latest.
The reconnaissance team of the Purace City Guard Battalion was the first to return, but they were also the reconnaissance team with the heaviest casualties, when they infiltrated the town, two patrols of Hellhound appeared from both ends of the alley at the same time, at that time there was no other way to go in the alley, and there was no way to climb over the wall, so they had no choice but to use force to kill them out of the town, and only two of the five constructed knights of the Pleos City Guard Battalion came back.
The reconnaissance team of the guard battalion in Constantinople confirmed that there was no Hell Teleportation Passage and Demon Gate in the town of Umezu, and quickly left the town of Umezu.
The reconnaissance mission in the small town of Umezu was completed, and the commanders of the three guard battalions felt that they would quickly evacuate from here according to the next battle plan.
Dozens of fire oil bombs were dropped by the knights at the mouth of the valley, and a wall of fire was immediately formed, and the knights of the guard battalion of the city of Pulas fired three rounds of dense crossbow arrows at the jungle in front of them, successfully suppressing the rhythm of the hellhound's attack, and then plunged into the jungle without looking back.
Until the sky brightened, the hellhounds behind failed to catch up, only some scattered hellhounds in the woods, which were basically disposed of by the team's constructed knights, and when the three guard battalions withdrew to a hill, the sky was completely brightened at this time, and the hellhounds in Umezu Town did not leave the town too far, and the other hellhounds did not pose any threat to the guard battalion.
When the three guard battalions rested on the top of the hill and counted the number of people, they found that the 1,500 knights of the guard battalion who were dispatched this time were less than 1,300 knights who came out of the battlefield last night.
Moreover, during this reconnaissance mission, the Hylanza guard battalion directly found the temple in the small town of Umezu, and found that the temple had become a breeding ground for the Hellhound.
The three Guards Battalion Commanders immediately decided to immediately release the magic flares that called for the Wizard Scout to explain the situation in the town to the Wizards......
