In just one week, the first constructed swordsman group led by the Great Swordsman of Quintas has initially adapted to the environment and climate in this rainforest, this rainforest is extremely humid, even in the dense jungle, there are shrubs and vines, ferns growing everywhere, there are many small beasts and birds in the jungle, but the large beasts and meat animals are basically invisible, and a jungle leopard cat can dominate in this jungle.

From the mouths of the magicians of the Law Enforcement Corps, it was learned that there had been traces of the Third Legion of the Lord's Army in the vicinity.

The Archswordsmen of Quintas entered the rainforest with the Constructed Swordsmen, looking for the traces of the Scout Squad, hoping to capture one or two Scouts of the Third Legion of the Lord Army and find out the information on the other side.

The jungle was damp, and some rotting trees were lying in the jungle, covered with slippery moss, which would slip if you were not careful.

There is a lot of moisture in the humus soil, and if you step into it, the footprints will seep into the stagnant water.

Many of the rainforest plants are covered with thorns, and if you want to pass through this thorny vine, you need not only a machete, but also a stab-proof leather armor.

The food chain here is very simple, flying insects and poisonous snakes run rampant in the forest, the spotted ocelot in the jungle is very fond of catching snakes, and the birds in the forest are mostly feeding on these flying insects.

A team of five-man swordsmen entered the rainforest, and the captain at the front picked a thumb-thick verdant snake with his sword, and the group passed through the trees with huge aerial roots, and the colorful insects perched on the trunks of the trees.

They've been walking in the rainforest for most of the day, tracking the footprints of a row of military boots.

The captain of the constructed swordsman led by him is good at tracking, and he didn't see any traps along the way, so it shouldn't be a hunter walking this way.

The captain of the constructed swordsman suddenly stopped behind a large tree, and glanced at one of the constructed swordsmen behind him, who used both hands and feet, and in a few strokes climbed a large tree, crouched on the leafy branches, and peeked ahead.

Soon he slipped down from the tree, and said to the captain of the constructed swordsman:

"Captain, those people are in front, there are fifteen people in total, and three dogs ......"

The captain of the constructed swordsman commanded in a low voice:

"All pay attention, prepare for battle, leave two alive and bring them back, and kill the dog first."

"Yes!"

The swordsmen replied softly.

Five swordsmen in armor surrounded the group of lords' army scouts who were resting in the woodland from all sides.

……

This reconnaissance team has a total of 12 members, and it is a standard infantry team.

They are scout squads, so each member is equipped with a jungle hunting bow, dagger and shield, and wears leather armor that can easily move through the forest.

The members of the reconnaissance team found a mysterious tree in the jungle, this big tree is actually nothing special, but it has a huge root system that holds up the entire tree nearly two meters high, the crown of the tree is like a flower umbrella in the secret room, and there are some small white flowers between the leaves in the shape of a five-pointed star.

This floret exudes a refreshing fragrance that not only calms the nerves and helps you sleep, but also has the effect of repelling mosquitoes and insects.

The rainforest is sweltering, mosquito-ridden, and full of thorny vines, and the warriors usually have to cover themselves tightly in the forest.

In the jungle, every mysterious tree is a rare resting place, and this reconnaissance team has been in the jungle for three days, and is now ready to rest well before returning to the 7th Infantry Battalion of the 3rd Legion.

Hellhounds hate the humid environment here, the humid moisture makes the lava veins on the surface of their skin form a thick layer of crust, in the forest these angular crusts are always scraped everywhere, now their bodies are covered with green moss, these wet moss on the Hellhounds, quickly dehydrated by the heat of the Hellhounds, and finally become some green powder floating in the air, with a pungent smell.

Hellhounds especially hate the smell.

Three demonic minions, completely encased in black robes, are dusting the moss off the Hellhounds with tree branches.

Their skin transforms into the same skin as Hellhounds, like volcanic rock flowing through mottled black rock formations, and blood always oozing from the cracks.

The three demonic servants sat together silently with pain in their eyes.

In contrast, the twelve fighters of the reconnaissance team were much more laid-back, they spread their sleeping bags under the tree, took off their light leather armor and lay on them, enjoying a rare piece of coolness.

At this moment, the three hellhounds lying under the tree suddenly stood up, and the three pairs of blood-red pupils looked around vigilantly.

The demonic minions stood up in a hurry, and one of them shouted to the reconnaissance team in a very dry voice, "Enemy attack ......"

The scout team awoke from their slumber and slid on their light leather armor, but it was too late.

There was a rustle in the forest, and the branches above him shook suddenly, and a constructed swordsman jumped from the canopy, his long sword slashing through the air.

A sword light slashed, and the hellhound that was looking up to the sky and pounced was slashed by the constructed warrior on the spot.

The moment the constructed swordsman landed, his feet staggered diagonally on the aerial roots of the mysterious tree, and his body curled up and rolled to the left, dodging the bite of the other two hellhounds, and the long sword in his hand stabbed the demon servant in the chest like a spiritual snake.

A handful of purple blood burst out of the demon's chest, and he fell backwards on his back.

At this moment, four constructed swordsmen rushed out from all four directions of the woodland at the same time, their magical patterns shining with gorgeous magic patterns, and their bodies were as light as ocelots in the jungle, and each jump carried a unique rhythm.

These three hellhounds are definitely more ferocious than tigers and leopards for ordinary warriors, but under the joint efforts of the four constructed swordsmen, the remaining two hellhounds were decapitated one after another, and the three demonic servants saw that the hellhounds were killed in battle, and immediately went crazy and pounced on the constructed swordsmen.

The demonic minions whined and clawed, but they were slain by the Constructed Swordsmen one by one beside the Hellhounds.

When the soldiers of the reconnaissance team saw that the swordsmen were wearing magic pattern uniforms, they immediately knew what kind of swordsmen they had encountered, they didn't even have the courage to fight, and some of them didn't even have time to put their leather armor on their bodies, and under the captain's whistle, they immediately dispersed and fled into the dense forest.

Naturally, the captain of the constructed swordsman would not let them escape like this, and they took advantage of the speed provided by the demonic pattern to stab the thighs of the two slowest scout team fighters under the tree, and then pinned the palm of their right hand to the trunk of the tree with a dagger.

This is the living mouth they left behind......

When chasing down other members of the Scout Team, these constructed swordsmen can let go.

They were like a group of jungle hunters, jumping almost repeatedly, catching up from behind, grazing their swords at the throat, and immediately chasing the next one.

The team of constructed swordsmen worked very well with each other, and almost everyone chased and killed two Scout Squad fighters in quick succession, and then dragged their bodies back under the tree, and the items on these Scout Squad warriors, including leather armor and weapons, naturally became their trophies.

If these scout team fighters don't have any oil and water on them, they can also report them to become successful scores.

Of course, if merit is intended to be earned, all items on the shoulders of these scout team fighters will have to be confiscated.

……

Except for two large . The Recon Squad warriors, whose legs were nearly completely broken, were brought back to Surdak's camp, along with the corpse of one of the demonic minions.

The corpse of the demon servant was now lying in a tent in the camp, and a group of magicians carried the corpse to the table, and everyone dissected the demon servant......

Archmage Harper looked at the organs that had gradually decayed, and his face was a little solemn.

There was a rancid smell in the tent, and Archmage Harper pulled out his silver knife and looked at the blackened edges, which were gradually demonizing the internal organs.

"It's supposed to be an ordinary resident of the plane." Archmage Harper said with his head bowed and expressionless.

"Why did they make a soul pact with the hellhounds?" A young magician standing at the back of the crowd asked, confused.

"In order to be able to control these hellhounds more effectively, these people can sign a demonic contract with these hellhounds by offering their souls to the great demon through some kind of evil ritual, although they have become such ugly, they are basically equivalent to having the lifespan of hellhounds, but in order to live a few more days, the price paid is a little too great." A middle-aged magician explained accordingly.

"How can so many people be willing to become demonic minions?" The young magician sighed again.

"What if they didn't do it voluntarily?" Archmage Harper asked, looking around with a grim look in his eyes.

The faces of the magicians around changed slightly, and everyone remained silent, as if they would not continue to talk deeply, and that kind of cruel thing would not happen.

……

On the other side of the camp, in order to prevent the two soldiers of the reconnaissance team from dying early during the trial, Surdak personally treated their wounds and did basic hemostatic treatment. The wound on the leg was re-stitched.

The Archswordsman of Quintas, as the chief inquisitor, sat under a large tree, and two infantry regiment recruits silently dug a hole next to the tree with shovels.

Both pits are almost two meters long and half a meter wide.

The roots of the trees are criss-crossed underneath the trees, making it difficult to dig.

The Archswordsman of Quintas sharpened a dagger with a whetstone as the swordsmen escorted the two Scout Squad warriors under a tree.

The warriors of the lord army turned a little pale when they saw the two square dirt pits under the trees.

The Great Swordsman of Quintas slapped the bloodless faces of the two men with his dagger, and leaned closer to them and said:

"Listen, I'll just say these words once, I ask you questions, you have to answer without thinking, hesitate, don't know...... Or if you answer incorrectly, you will be punished, and the punishment is very simple, cut off your fingers...... If you count your toes, you have twenty chances to answer incorrectly and not answer! ”

He paused, and with a cruel smile on his scarred face, he opened his mouth and said:

"Don't worry, my questions aren't that difficult! The two of them rushed to answer the ...... together"

For a moment, the air seemed to be forbidden.

No one in the Constructed Swordsman Regiment wanted to watch the interrogation of the Grand Swordsman of Quintas, only a group of recruits from the Heavy Infantry Regiment in the distance, who did not dare to lean over, could only watch from afar.

"Where are you from?" The Archswordsman of Quintas said suddenly.

The highly nervous scout squad soldier immediately blurted out: "The 7th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Army ......"

"...... Third ...... "The other fighter, probably because he was a little nervous, not only stuttered, but also got stuck in the middle of it.

"You're slow!" Quintas gestured to the warrior.

Suddenly two swordsmen in costume came up from behind, one holding his arm and covering his mouth with his hand, and the other swordsman cut off his fingers like cutting a carrot, and his bloody thumb rolled down to the dirt under the tree.

"Woo ......"

The warrior's mouth was covered and he couldn't even scream.

After a short pause, the Archswordsman of Quintas raised his hand again and said:

"Second question, where did these demonic minions come from?"

"Those dark mages brought it here!"

"Akertown."

The two blurted out almost at the same time, but the words 'brought by the black magician' were visibly wide-eyed, and they shouted almost in despair with bitterness:

"Woo, I also know it's Akertown......"

Seeing that the emotions of the two captives had been brought up, the Great Swordsman of Quintas showed a slight look of satisfaction, and said slowly:

"Very well, let's move on...... What were the tasks of the 7th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Army? ”

“……”

No one answered.

"Woo......"

This time, both of them were covered in their mouths at the same time, and let out suppressed screams.

The two Scout Team fighters eventually died during the interrogation, and the Quintas Archswordsman asked for a lot of information, which needed to be verified by the Mage Scout and the Scout Team of the Constructed Swordsmen.

……

In fact, according to the intelligence obtained by the Great Swordsman of Quintas:

Due to the serious disconnect in the logistical supply lines of the lord army, the entire Third Army was almost scattered in this mountain range.

Commander Grova. MacDonnell was the seventh son of Lord MacDonnell, a young man who hastily took over command of the Third Legion, without any leadership.

Although he led the Third Army to break through five rebel camps in one fell swoop and achieved significant results in the town of Bansk, this only shows that the Third Army was an elite force and had nothing to do with his command ability.

At present, the Third Legion is trapped in the area of Crow Ridge, and there are three voices in the Legion alone.

The commanders of the cavalry regiment suggested that the original results be maintained, return to the town of Bansk, and then begin to prepare the logistics regiment for further westward expeditions.

The commanders of the infantry regiment suggested that the five rebel camps should be the center, search outward, completely remove the hidden dangers on the outskirts of Bansk, and then steadily advance westward.

The young commander, Grova, was going to hit the rear of the rebels in one fell swoop, and if he could get rid of them in one fell swoop, he could easily control the situation in the south.
