447. Valley Resident
Surdak slept in his tent all night, and in the early morning when the sky was just dawning, the sound of the magic Si whistling through the sky woke him from his dream.
As soon as he got out of the tent, he saw two magicians riding magic handles back from the city of Warzhmara, some exaggerated magic handles slowly falling from the sky, and the huge air currents almost overturned the tent behind Surdak.
The half-elf archer Samira was standing under the tree, and there was a row of colorful feather pheasants hanging from the horizontal branch of a tree trunk behind her, about a dozen of them, it seemed that these pheasants should have been hunted by Samira during this time in the morning, and the pheasants were constantly dripping blood, and a group of knights of the Haylansa City Guard Battalion were lining up, with a silver coin in their hands, and they bought pheasants from Samira's hands with a smile, and then ran back to the tent to start preparing breakfast, and the scene was very lively for a while.
Several knights of the guard battalion, who had been the most senior hunters in Highlanza City, walked back from the depths of the woods empty-handed, squatted under the big tree next to the camp, and looked at the lively scene in the camp with a depressed face, and for a while they didn't understand what was wrong with their hunting methods, why they didn't bring back a single prey, everyone gathered in front of the camp and couldn't help but look at each other, and the two knights who had patted their chests and promised to bring back a delicious breakfast saw that the eyes of several knights in the same group were full of anticipation, and they were also embarrassed at the moment.
Someone hurriedly stood up and explained with a smile: "Probably restricted by the power of the laws of the plane......
The other knights also said, "I heard that the natives of the maca plane worship the god of Pagorio, and maybe the goddess in charge of hunting will not be able to control this place." ”
Surdak walked past the group......
He had just checked the condition of the wounded knights who had been placed together, the injuries of the knights were relatively stable, no one had any signs of deterioration of wounds, and the most fatal part of fighting this group of hellhounds was that the wounds from the bite often bled non-stop, and if the wounds were not treated in time, they would continue to deteriorate and become infected extensively. Last night, he treated the wounds of the wounded knights, mainly to deal with the saliva that was stained with corrosive toxins on the wounds.
Wherever they went, there were people who took the initiative to stand up and greet Surdak, and these knights also looked at Surdak with envy, with an ugly but flattering smile on their faces, no one would want to offend a knight who was proficient in healing on the battlefield.
Andrew saw Surdak crawl out of the tent, quickly put the giant axe in his hand back on his back, and quickly followed behind Surdak.
……
The two members of the magician reconnaissance team brought back a battle plan from the command overnight, although they knew the general content of the battle plan, but because they were in a bit of a hurry, they didn't even unfold the plan and look at it, when they handed it over to the three commanders, Viscount Emmett, Earl Collins and Viscount Owen, a stone in their hearts always fell to the ground.
The two magicians saw the excited expressions on the faces of Viscount Emmett and Viscount Owen, and then untied the water bladder hanging from their belts and drank a few sips of water. In order to avoid going to the toilet during the flight, they were strictly controlling the number of times they drank water throughout the night.
The War Command is very concerned about what is happening in the small town of Umezu, and Marquis Luthor believes that these demon children need to be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise once they grow, each group of hellhounds will have a thoughtful, sinister, vicious and cunning brain, which will be very detrimental to the Maca plane in the future.
This time, Marquis Luthor personally led two Constructed Swordsmen under his command to participate in the Battle of Umejin Town, and when the two magicians left the city of Warzhmara, the troops of the Constructed Swordsmen had been assembled, and as long as the Heavy Cavalry Regiment and the Heavy Infantry Regiment opened a passage on the battlefield outside the city, the Constructed Swordsmen Regiment would set off immediately.
In such a grim situation, the two magicians probably didn't expect that the camp where the knights of the guard battalion were stationed would be like a vegetable market in the morning, and some knights were squatting under the tree to clean up pheasants, and the boiling water in the soup pot was constantly boiling, and they came out of the commander's tent, and when they saw this scene, they didn't know what to say.
For a long time, the guard battalions of major cities are known for their well-equipped, undisciplined and ineffective military performance, and the main responsibility of the guards battalion knights is to maintain law and order in the city, so they do not need to undergo rigorous military training, and these knights can join the guard battalion, a large part of them are aristocratic families with a certain background in the family, so the guard battalion knights also have a sarcastic title in the city 'knight lord'.
It's just that last night, the three guard battalion knights completed the reconnaissance mission arranged by the command in just one day, making the two magicians forget that this reconnaissance group is a group of guard battalion knights.
Now it seems that those discoveries from last night ...... Maybe it was because of their good luck that they happened to discover the secret of the temple, the two magicians thought to themselves.
There was a faint smell of stewed meat in the air, and the two magicians had also been busy all night, sleepy and hungry, and now they smelled this fragrant porridge again, and their stomachs were already growling.
The Earl of Collins stepped forward and invited the two magicians to have breakfast at the Plains guard camp before leaving.
The two magicians didn't refuse, and the breakfast at the Plains guard camp naturally didn't have broth, but the scones with wheat porridge and pickled cucumbers were not bad. After breakfast, the two magicians bid farewell to Count Collins on the pretext of patrolling the surrounding area.
Before leaving, the two magicians repeatedly told the three guard battalion commanders: "Our people have seen three hellhounds in the nearby area more than once, so the three commanders, please tell the scout teams about this situation, when encountering the three hellhounds, the most important thing is to save our lives first, and then send us magic flares in the safe area, this kind of hellhounds can control different elemental powers, don't think that they are huge, just think that they are good at hand-to-hand combat, they are better at spitting magic bullets." ”
"And the two of us also got first-hand information from other reconnaissance teams who found traces of succubi in the jungle." Another magician added later, obviously these two magicians were very jealous of the succubus of the Hell Demon Clan, otherwise they would not have specifically brought it up.
Before riding on the magic handle, the mage scout once again gave a mage salute to the three commanders of the guard battalion before saying, "Please leave it to you about the disappearance of Guy Magi!" ”
Count Collins immediately said: "Don't worry, we will continue to send additional scout teams around the town of Umejin, as long as he haunts this area, there will definitely be clues......"
There are very few mages who can put their posture very low, and Count Collins feels that this maca plane war is just a rare opportunity for the lord's legion and the mages to run-in, at least until now, the battle groups have not had any unpleasant encounters with the mage scouts.
The magician rode the magic sword into the sky, and after drawing two circles on the top of the mountain, he flew farther and farther, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into two black dots in the sky and disappeared.
……
Surdak had a hard time understanding the way of cooking marching rations into stews and boiling them together into a sticky batter.
Although the breakfast was not bad, it was really bad in appearance.
He swallowed the last bite of batter into his stomach, spit out another toothpick-shaped bone, and was about to discuss the process of marinating roast chicken with Andrew, when he heard a shout not far away: "Knight Surdak, please come with me to the tent, Master Emmett is looking for you!" ”
Surdak hurriedly put aside the plate in his hand, and followed the Viscount Emmett to the barracks tent with his escort.
Lifting the curtain of the tent and entering the barracks tent, Surdak saw several squadron leaders in demonic costumes standing around the square table, Carl was naturally among them, only Viscount Emmett sat on the chair, one hand constantly touching the stubble on his chin, and his eyes kept staring at the table.
The square table was covered with a map of the area around the town of Umejin, and Captain Emmett scratched his head in pain, and saw Surdak walk in, followed by the native warrior Andrew and the half-elf archer Samira, and quickly beckoned to them, Surdak walked to Karl's side and looked at the map on the table.
Viscount Emmett drew a few red arrows and blue circles on the map with a red and blue pencil, and then raised his head and asked Surdak, "Can you read the map?" ”
Surdak nodded slightly.
Viscount Emmett nodded and said, "I heard that you are in the fifty-seventh heavy infantry regiment, and your combat squad also often serves as scouts?" ”
"Yes, Captain Emmett!" Surdak replied loudly.
"Wizard Scout......" Viscount Emmett told Surdak about the magician's disappearance in this pine forest, and then pointed to several blue areas on the map and said to Surdak: "These are the places where the magician named Guy has a chance to appear, and I want your team to do some more detailed investigation of these areas......"
did not wait for the sound of the horn to attack the small town of Umezu......
Surdak led a search team of half-elven archers and native Nanai warriors, as well as two other knights from the supporting squadron, into the jungle in the early morning sun.
……
In Surdak's opinion, a magician who has been missing in the jungle for two days is basically no need for search and rescue.
This jungle is full of hellhounds, and it is estimated that by this time, this magician has entered the belly of a certain hellhound.
However, since the task assigned by the superior of the guard battalion was to continue the search, he did not hesitate, and immediately decided to enter the jungle with a makeshift search team, and the half-elf archer Samira said that she was familiar with this woodland, and she had spent some time in the jungle around the town of Umezu with an adventuring party.
The scout teams of the guard battalion were all over the surrounding woods, and they invisibly drove out the hellhounds in this area, and now there is not a single hellhound to be found in this forest area.
The search team came out of the camp and walked far away.
Suddenly, the half-elf archer at the front of the group sprang out like a cheetah, and she was in mid-air, she was able to adjust her posture and maintain her balance, and it was almost a matter of an instant, and the arrow flew out with a strong wind, and turned into the dense bushes on the side, and a very low roar came from the bushes.
A hellhound with an arrow in its body pounced out of the bushes, and before it could reach Surdak, it was cut off by Andrew, an indigenous warrior of the Nanai tribe, with an axe.
Since awakening the soul of the berserker, the combat power of the indigenous warrior Andrew has been growing by leaps and bounds every day, half a month ago, Andrew dealt with a hellhound on the city wall, which can only be regarded as an evenly matched, he has to rely on the joint efforts of other guards around him to kill the hellhound that rushed to the city, but now, Andrew is sure that one person can block three hellhounds.
The jungle was about five kilometers away from the makeshift camp of the guard battalion, but it had not yet reached the area that Viscount Emmett had drawn on the map.
The half-elf archer pressed her ear to the trunk of a tree, and she closed her eyes, listening quietly to the movement in the jungle.
When she opened her eyes, she pointed to a dense valley and said, "Captain, there are people fighting over there......
"Let's go and see!" Surdak said.
Samira whispered to Surdak, "Did you bring anything to eat?" There is a big guy with a bad temper living in this valley, who usually likes to ask for some beef from intruders, and no one in the vicinity wants to mess with him, and the consequences of annoying him are usually very serious, no one can beat him if there are fewer people, and once there are more people, he will run into the depths of the jungle. ”
Unexpectedly, this seemingly barren and grassy valley was still inhabited, Surdak turned his head to look at the indigenous warrior behind him, and asked him, "Is it your Nanai indigenous powerhouse?" ”
Andrew shook his head again and again, and said, "It's not us from the Nanai tribe, no one knows where he came from, he's lived in this valley for years!" ”
The five of them chatted while walking through the valley, this valley was inconspicuous, and the surrounding area was covered with dense vegetation, almost covering the mouth of the valley, from the outside, it looked like the kind of dense forest area that few people had set foot on, and Andrew took a big axe to cut through the thorns and thorns all the way in front of him, and only then did he enter the valley.
Following the sound of fighting, the five members of the team finally saw the battle inside through a lush bush.
A huge body haunted the jungle, he held a large wooden stick, like a gopher, and was smashing a dozen hellhounds attacking him around him in the woods, but those hellhounds seemed to have suffered enough from him, and every time he turned around, he would spare him as fast as he could, and take the opportunity to make his big one. With a bite on his leg, his thick thighs were already dripping with blood, and there were also more than a dozen corpses of hellhounds lying around him.
Surdak's eyes widened, he looked at the battlefield in the forest in front of him, and said to Andrew and Rice, "The person you just talked about is this ogre?" ”
