981. Chaser
The scouts who were lying in ambush at the west exit of the rebel camp valley had not thought before the battle that a small field postman was accompanied by four second-turn powerhouses, and they fired a rain of arrows that hit Surdak just in time, leaving a finger-thick blood groove on his right shoulder.
The blood gushed out, and it also completely ignited the team's fighting spirit.
Surdak didn't expect that after becoming a second-turn paladin, he would be scratched by the random arrows fired by ordinary archers.
Seeing the wound on his shoulder, Surdak was slightly stunned, and the sense of superiority that belonged to the second-turn powerhouse that had originally accumulated in his heart was instantly crushed under this arrow.
If the arrow had just hit him in the chest, perhaps he would have fallen to the ground at this moment.
It turns out that the so-called second-turn powerhouse is not an imaginary invincible warrior.
If you don't take every opponent seriously, you are likely to fall in front of a weak person one day.
In fact, the wound was not too deep, and it did not hurt the tendons of the shoulder, but the cluster of arrows with wolf teeth barbed tore the wound a little hideous, and blood gushed out.
Thea screamed in fright, the green scales on the side of her face had already emerged, and a phantom of Queen Cana more than ten meters tall appeared behind Thea, and a water shield fell on Surdak's body under the huge waves.
Surdak held his shield and swooped forward from Gubolai.
He turned his head to look at the two-headed ogre in front of him, and saw that he had hidden Dennis behind the Guborai horse, and then rushed forward.
At this time, Gulit also followed Surdak's footsteps, and the two second-turn powerhouses charged towards the roadside woods.
A huge wave surged out behind them, and the two of them were almost surrounded by the monstrous waves and moved forward.
The waves seemed to have some kind of vitality, licking the arrows from the sky......
……
Countless arcs of lightning converged from all sides, converging on the hand where Thea pulled the bowstring, and the entire arm was filled with the breath of wind and electricity.
Thea, who was standing on Samira's side, couldn't resist the oppressive feeling of these arcs and wind blades.
The two elemental breaths turned the arrows into arrows of light, and although they were late, they were faster than Surdak and Gulitham standing on the waves......
Fast as lightning, the stirring electric snake flowed all over the sky.
……
The surging lightning seemed to have blinded the eyes of the lords in the woods.
If they had known a minute ago that a rain of arrows on their side would provoke the joint counterattack of the four second-turn powerhouses on the mountain road, and even Samira, who was the second-turn eagle-eyed, would break a magic crystal for them, then they would probably be on the way to escape by now.
Snakes dancing in the sky.
This arrow of light rushed into the woodland, and countless electric snakes suddenly illuminated the woods.
A group of rebel scouts only felt that these scurrying electric snakes burrowed into the woods, and the hair on their bodies was so electric that they stood on end, and their bodies instantly became numb.
The arrow, as if it had an eye, pierced through the forehead of the scout who had struck Surdak.
A beam of lightning slashed down from the sky, and the scout's whole body instantly became scorched in the beam, and a large tree next to it was also struck by the lightning and ignited a fire, and the scouts around him were also killed and injured.
Then, the two-headed ogre with a big stick pounced into the woods.
A large tree was knocked down by his strong arms, and the scouts hiding behind the tree threw themselves in all directions.
Two scouts avoided the fallen tree, and they jumped out of the bushes and unleashed their 'momentum', revealing two great swordsman phantoms behind them.
They had a small round shield in their hands, and they held the craftsman's sword and stabbed it towards Gullitham's ribs from the left and right sides, they should be Bena swordsmen, and the heavy sword in their hands was accurate and steady when it stabbed out, and the movements were concise and clean, and the speed of this sword was extremely fast, and it was the attack launched by the two at the same time, which made Surdak hesitate a little, thinking about which side of the Goethe shield in his hand should block......
The next moment, a water arrow pierced the forehead of the lord scout on the left, and the shadow behind the scout collapsed, and the man fell backwards.
Surdak's shield met the other scout's face decisively, the flesh striking the steel, the sound of defeat ......
As soon as the scout's body flew backwards, Surdak took the broadsword and took a step forward, and with the flip of his wrist, the blade of the broadsword was pulled diagonally upward, and the scout was smashed by the shield, and the whole person was already stunned.
Surdak handed out a sword that stabbed into his abdomen through the gap in the armor of his ribs.
As the screams in the forest continued, a one-sided killing gradually stopped.
……
Dennis turned to look at Thea, shock written in his eyes.
This newfound friend turned out to be a magician, and the others were powerful warriors.
She felt collapsed and sat on the ground weakly.
The woods not far away, as if they had been ravaged by a storm, looked messy.
The two-headed ogre and the knight walked out side by side, and the blood stains on the two of them were washed away by a column of water summoned by Thea, and the group sat down by the mountain path to rest for a while.
After performing the Holy Light Technique, the wound had formed a thin layer of fascia, and Samira crouched to the side and bandaged the arrow wound on Surdak's shoulder with a hemostatic bandage.
Thea sat down next to Dennis, soothing her somewhat broken down.
Dennis covered his face with his hands, trembling slightly.
It's not that she hasn't seen murder scenes, and as a rebel, how could she not have experienced killing?
She just hadn't experienced the complete slaughter of a lord army with the strength of just four people, she felt a little cold in her limbs, her body trembled instinctively, and even her teeth kept colliding and making a creaking sound.
She looked at Thea and finally knew that this extremely innocent beauty was actually a magician.
Seeing that the gaze in her eyes softened, Dennis took a deep breath to calm himself and asked her:
"Thea, who the hell are you, I've never seen such a powerful warrior as you, I'm a little scared ......"
Dennis was indeed frightened.
The rebel camp was burned down by a fire, which had brought her to the brink of collapse, and now she was even at a loss.
Miss Mermaid Thea gently stroked Dennis's thin back and handed her a kettle to drink some water to cool down.
Then he said, "They have come from the province of Bednar, and our mission here is to capture Lord MacDonnell, and now Lord MacDonnell has been captured by our companions, but we are left here!" In short, we share your goal of ending the MacDonnells' dictatorship over the Gampoo plane as soon as possible. ”
Miss Mermaid lowered her eyes and winked at Dennis.
"But why did you come here with me?" Dennis asks Thea, "I'm just a little postman!" ”
This is probably the biggest puzzle in her heart.
Thea replied without hesitation: "Of course, in order to come here to see the current situation and situation of the camp residents here, we want to take out the chips in our hands in exchange for the greatest benefit at the right time." ”
Surdak felt that his thoughts were being seen clearly by Thea, or that he had not thought about them very seriously.
I'm just wondering what form I can take to join the rebels.
"Now the lord's army seems to be a little impatient to clean you up." Surdak added on the side. "They are ambushing here, probably to intercept the reinforcements that have arrived here from the small town of the canyon,"
Surdak held several blood-stained letters in his hand and placed them in front of Dennis.
Dennis was slightly stunned for a moment, and took out almost identical letters from his bosom, which looked like they were left by the postmen who walked ahead.
Dennis knew what that meant, and knew that if it weren't for Thea and her friends, the letter in his arms would have been one of the trophies of the rebels in the forest.
Thinking of this, her body couldn't help but feel a little chilly.
It's like there's a big invisible hand around her neck, making it impossible for her to breathe.
Surdak then pulled out an old map of the plane.
To be sure, the map Surdak had pulled out was less valuable to Dennis than its own leather, with a few rough lines outlining the approximate location of towns, mountains, and rivers on the dry cloth plane, which was simply too rough.
Surdak found out the location of the town of Bansk on the map, circled it with charcoal and said:
"When they evacuated, they didn't choose to go east, maybe the retreat was blocked by the lord army, or maybe they didn't want to lead the lord army to the rear, we can follow the trail they left behind, and maybe we can meet survivors."
Hearing Surdak say this, Dennis's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his head and said:
"yes, let's go find ......"
Surdak looked at the tall, long-legged girl and asked:
"Dennis, can you still walk, we need you to lead the way......"
Dennis gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, although her body was still trembling, her eyes were unusually determined, and she said loudly:
"I can!"
……
Mountains, dense forests, grass, and wisps of green smoke can be seen in the distance.
The wind blowing from the other side of the battlefield still smelled of blood, and unknown birds swirled in the sky.
A few rebel fighters trampled on the weeds and walked quickly into the dense forest, where the bushes were overgrown and vines and ferns grew, and the best way to get through them was to cut them down with a wood knife, or to climb with both hands and feet, crushing them to the sides with the weight of their bodies, and separating a narrow and stumbling path.
In order to fight against natural predators, many rattan plants are covered with small thorns that are tingling, and these wooden thorns are often poisonous.
It is not easy for ordinary people to pass through such a dense forest overgrown with shrubs.
The rebels were all wounded, their leather armor was dirty from blood and sap, and they carried shields on their backs, and their swords cut through the vines in front of them.
Just behind them, there were more than thirty women and children under the sound of a small chatter.
The children, with their big frightened eyes, quietly passed through the woodland under the care of the women.
It's just that the low roar behind is getting closer and closer.
……
Not far away, a group of infantry from the lord army was searching the woodland, and among these lord armies were three black-robed men with masked faces, leading the scorching hellhounds all over their bodies, walking at the front of the line.
The lava flowing from the skin of these Cerberus has all been extinguished, and they look like hyenas that have burned their fur, and each Cerberus is very slender.
They wore necklaces with thorny crests around their necks, and thick chains were grasped in the hands of the black-robed men.
Hellhounds, with their bare noses, are sniffing everywhere.
As soon as they found the slightest clue, they kept trying to break free from the rope and rush forward, and every time at this time, the black-robed men would take out long whips made of thorns and whip them fiercely on the bodies of these hellhounds, so that they could be honest.
Thanks to these three hellhounds, the rebels were unable to escape their tracking, even when they burrowed into the dense bushes.
The roar of the hellhound in the distance became clearer and clearer, and a woman with a pale face covered in numerous small wounds cut by thorns finally collapsed in the bushes.
The two children she was holding just wanted to cry, but the woman covered her mouth with her hands: "Don't cry......"
"We can't run away, you guys leave us alone, get out of here quickly!" With a look of despair in her eyes, the woman said to the rebels in front of her.
The woman behind her also sat in the bushes with her, refusing to take a step forward.
They are exhausted, and they are supported by a little faith in their hearts.
Now there are people who don't want to go any further, and that feeling of despair is like a dam that has been washed away by a flood, and it is contagious to everyone.
The rebel fighters immediately stopped, they looked at each other, and one of the warrior captains said:
"We can hold them back for a little while, through this dense forest, over two mountain ridges, and if we can cross the river ahead and hide in the Cracked Land, we should be able to get rid of them, and there may be others there."
After saying this, the five rebel soldiers who were slightly injured and couldn't even hold their long swords met the pursuing lord army behind without hesitation.
Seeing the women sitting in place, the captain turned around and scolded: "Hurry up, don't let us die in vain......"
……
A hellhound pounced on a dense thicket, and the black-robed men were dragged forward by chains, their black robes almost covering their entire bodies.
They entered the bushes with thorny vines everywhere, and the black robes on their bodies were gradually cut by the thorns of the vines, and even the blood marks appeared on their bodies, and the torn black robes revealed arms covered with black inscriptions, and the skin on the arms had begun to fester, but they were like people who did not feel pain.
'Demon Servants' is the name given to them by the dark magicians.
They dedicate their souls to demons and make magical contracts with Hellhounds, not only living and dying with these Hellhounds, but also sharing their abilities.
The skin of the body degenerates, festers, and it won't be long before their skin becomes charred like the hellhounds......
The infantry warriors of the Lord Army followed behind the demon servants, and their faces could not hide their disgust.
At this time, the three hellhounds roared like madness into the bushes in front of them......
