1386. Mountain Cliffs
Bursting white flames broke through the cover of the jungle and rushed straight into the air.
The aftermath of the flames even overturned several hoplite warriors who were chasing from behind, and the magician Basil fell from the sky on the magic handle, took out the 'hydrotherapy' magic scroll from his arms, opened the scroll, and a wave of water elemental power turned into a silver glow and fell on Gulitham.
The ogre's own powerful resilience is also constantly forcing the belly of the abdomen to wriggle and close the wound.
The two-headed ogre was a bit embarrassed, but it wasn't that bad.
"How are you?"
Tiger Knight, the wolf knight, approached with his blade in his hand and asked the two-headed ogre.
Gulit looked down at the wound that was slowly recovering, and the young Drew Yin Lanni used a hemostatic bandage to temporarily bandage him, Gulit grinned and scolded: "This guy didn't even return his hand, he blew himself up directly, what a fucking cruel ......"
The wolf knight glanced back at the demon banner that had burst into countless ashes, and his eyes showed a hint of sober thinking that only he would have in battle, and said to the two-headed ogre: "He should be calling for reinforcements, let's withdraw from here first." ”
Drew Ranny stood up, turned through the gap in the jungle, pointed in the direction of the valley, and said:
"Look at the ...... on the other side of the valley"
The magician Basil followed Druyin's gaze, and saw that some demon warriors had appeared on the rocky beach on the other side of the river valley, and demon warriors were constantly emerging in the jungle on the other side of the river valley.
The magician Basil shouted in surprise, "How can there be so many evil spirits......"
In the previous investigation, he knew that there were some demon warriors on the other side, but he didn't expect that there would be so many.
The demon warriors were able to throw short flying spears into the sky, so Basil did not dare to fly low in the wooded areas infested by the demon warriors, which was the main reason why he was not aware of the demon army.
Originally, I thought that there might only be a few dozen hunting demons here, but now there are more than a hundred evil spirits appearing on the other side of the river valley, and there are still evil spirits coming out of the forest at this moment.
"We didn't expect this demon hunting group we encountered to be a piece of fat...... "The injured two-headed ogre couldn't help but smack his tongue when he saw the demon warriors in the river valley.
"What should I do?" Tygo asked Gulitham.
Gulit said without even thinking about it: "Since we can't deal with it, let's withdraw quickly!" ”
He turned his head to look at the mage with a frustrated face, and said, "Wizard Basil, go back and deliver a message to Dak and the others, and let the leader answer us." ”
The magician Basil flew up on the magic handlebar, and flew around the trunk of the tree twice in the forest before he asked Gulitham:
"Can you find your way without me in the air?"
Tiger Knight, the wolf knight, replied affirmatively, "No problem, with Bernita here, we can definitely go back the way we came." ”
The magician glanced at the silver frost wolf and hesitated for a moment before saying:
"Then be careful."
After saying that, he rode the magic handle and flew in the forest, he was afraid of attracting those evil spirits in the river valley, and he didn't dare to fly out of the woods, so he rode the magic handle back and forth in the woods, until it flew parallel to a kilometer away, and then he raised the helm handle, drilled out from the gap in the canopy overhead, and rushed into the sky in an instant.
The demons in the valley were searching in the direction of the detonation of the demon flag, and suddenly found a human mage flying out of the mountain forest to the north, and a group of people immediately chased after him.
The two-headed ogre Gullitham didn't dare to stay any longer, but just bandaged the wound hastily, and Gullitham urged the wolf knight to lead the way quickly.
Tygo rode the frostwolf Bernita at the front, Druinlani commanded ten ghostly soldiers and nine hoplite soldiers followed closely with the wolf knight, and Gullitham walked in the rear, carrying a club.
The soldiers march fast, and the more rugged the terrain, the more they have a speed advantage.
In this way, the two-headed ogre's reconnaissance team rode the ghost-patterned soldier ants and quickly climbed over the mountains on the west side of the Samosto River, and quickly withdrew towards the way they came......
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
……
Just as they had just crossed the western ridge with their front feet, the forward warriors of the Demon Legion had already groped their way to the battlefield in the forest.
Although several demon warriors have been eaten by the ghost soldier ants, the remains left behind at the scene can still be seen by the demons at a glance, and some of their companions died in the battle.
When the demon general arrived here, he saw the wreckage after the explosion, and the ground was in shambles.
Many trees and broken vines were stained with blood, and fragments of broken bone armor were everywhere,
The demon general let out an irrepressible roar of rage, and slammed his fist into an oak tree, sinking his entire arm into the trunk.
"Follow the scent they left behind, keep chasing me, gather the hunters scattered in the nearby mountains, and find them for me!"
With a wave of his hand, the demon general terminated the Legion's ongoing hunting mission and prepared to hunt down the Gullitham scout team with all his might.
It's been a long time since the demons have encountered such a provocation from the red fruit, and they pass the message to each other, screaming and spreading out through the jungle.
A large group of demon warriors crossed the Samosto River and began to search for Gullitham's scout team across the mountains.
The two-headed ogre was wounded in the abdomen, and the violent running during the retreat caused the wound in his abdomen to burst again, so the reconnaissance team could only slow down the retreat slightly.
Fortunately, the two-headed ogre has the strongest recovery power, and his physique is also very good, covering the wound in his abdomen with one hand, and he can still walk like a fly in the jungle.
With her excellent sense of smell, Bernita has always been at the forefront.
It wasn't until it crossed the second ridge that the frostwolf finally stopped on the ridge, and it fled to a rock, its eyes falling on the hillside ahead.
The wolf knight, who had a heart-to-heart with it, immediately saw a team of demons coming up from the bottom of the hillside.
This demon squad actually blocked the way they had to retreat, and it moved quickly towards where they were, and the group didn't expect that a demon squad would appear in the rear, and completely blocked their retreat.
Looking behind him, the group of demons behind him had already surrounded him from under the hillside.
On the way back, there was a demon warrior interception, and Gullitm didn't want to fight at this time, so he discussed it with the wolf knight Tiger and had no choice but to abandon the original retreat and quickly retreat in the other direction of the western hillside.
Along the way, the aboriginal Drew Yinrani constantly manipulated some vines to stop where they passed.
It's a pity that these demon warriors rely on scent to track them down, so the camouflage they make along the way is useless.
In this wooded mountain forest, once you lose the guidance of the magician Basil in the air, you can only climb to the top of the mountain every time to observe the terrain, but once you get into the trees, it is easy to deviate from the direction in this overgrown mountain forest.
At the same time, you must also avoid those evil spirits who intercept halfway, and continue to retreat westward over the mountains even at night.
Because the reconnaissance team deviated too far from the original path and could not see the surrounding scenery at night, Gulitham followed the reconnaissance team all night, and it was not until dawn that he stood halfway up the mountain and realized that the team had actually climbed a lone peak.
The demon warriors who had caught up from behind had already reached the foot of the mountain, and it was impossible to retreat.
The only way now is to climb over this lone peak, after all, the Ghost Striped Soldier Ants of the Scout Team can easily climb these rock walls.
It was only when everyone climbed to the top of the peak that Gulit stepped on a huge rock and looked at the other side of the peak, only to find that there was no way to go on the other side of the mountain, and on the other side was a cliff hundreds of meters high.
At this time, it is impossible for the reconnaissance team to leave along the side of the mountain.
The demons at the foot of the mountain are like a giant hand, completely surrounding the mountain.
After running all night, even if the physical strength of the ghost soldiers slowed down, the heavy infantry soldiers who stood on the heads of the ghost soldiers also staggered, and the wolf knight stood beside Gulitham, looking at the cliff and valley hundreds of meters high in front of him, and immediately shouted a string of orc curses.
Even Bernita, the frostwolf, let out a whimper.
"There's no road ahead, everyone rests in place."
Gullitham a fart. He sat down on the boulder, and then couldn't help but glance down the cliff.
Several hoplite infantry soldiers jumped down from the heads of the ghost soldiers, and when they saw the deep stream behind them, there was a hint of despair in their eyes.
A few of them were veterans of the Surdak lord's army, and they often fought on the battlefield, so they naturally looked at life and death a little bit, and they leaned against the rocks, and did not complain, but silently took out the marching rations they carried with them, tore open the gaps in the brown paper, and poured them into their mouths.
Then he sat on the side of the boulder and closed his eyes, chewed silently, and drank a sip of water when he felt that his mouth was dry, and then continued to rest.
These veterans have been through a lot of battles and know what is best for them to do at this time.
Tiger Tiger, the wolf knight, leaned against Gullitham's side and said to him, "Wait a minute, if we just rush back, as long as we break through the blockade at the foot of their mountain, there will probably be some chances!" ”
"No chance, there are too many evil spirits down there." Gulitham shook his head and said in an urn voice.
"Come on, look here......"
Druyinlani stood beside the cliff, leaning over to look down the ravine, before shouting to Gullit and Tygo.
Gulit leaned over to the cliff with a puzzled look on his face, and looked down the deep stream, following the example of Drew Ranny.
I saw that dozens of meters below the deep stream, there was actually a crack between the rock walls.
"These ghost-patterned soldiers can climb the cliff at will, so we can hide in the crevices over there." Drew Yinlani patted the thick and hard thigh of a ghost-patterned soldier ant and said to Gullitham.
Hearing Drew Yinlani say this, Gulitham's eyes lit up: "This is a good note. ”
"I'll go over and see ...... first"
Drewranny jumped onto the back of a ghost-patterned soldier ant, urging it to climb the rock wall and walk towards the crevice.
With six legs, the ghost soldier ant easily climbed on the cliff.
Drew Ranny reached the edge of the stone crevice and was about to explore inside, when a large group of red-eyed bats rushed out of the stone crevice, causing Lanny to quickly retract his head.
After a few moments, the red-eyed bats all flew out of the cracks in the rock, and Lenny mustered up the courage to explore inside.
It didn't take long for Drew Yinlani to emerge from the crack in the rock, lie directly on the back of the soldier ant, and return to the top of the cliff.
"How?" Gulitham couldn't wait to ask:
"The entrance is narrow, but there is a lot of space inside, it should be a nest of red-eyed bats, we can hide in it!" Drew Yinlani said happily.
"Without further ado, let the soldier ants send them over first, and we'll go last!" Gulit said immediately.
Before the last mouthful of dry food could be swallowed, several hoplite soldiers saluted Gulitham, and then climbed onto the ants' backs, following the path they had just explored, into the crevices of the cliff below.
Gulit and Wolf Knight Tiger were the last to evacuate from the top of the mountain, the Wolf Knight had to hold the frost wolf Bernita, and Gulit was a little overweight, and as the ghostly soldiers crawled on the rock wall with the two of them, some rubble kept falling into the deep stream, and the last echo would not be heard until a few seconds later.
When Gullitham got into the red-eyed bat's nest, he found that there was almost some bat droppings under the cracks, but fortunately, everyone was wearing standard boots, so they stepped on the droppings and walked into them.
There is a lot of space inside the stone crack, only the entrance is a little narrow.
"It's a good place!" The two-headed ogre walked into the crack in the rock wall and couldn't help but praise: "Wait a minute, we only need to stop those evil spirits, as long as the leader comes over with a large army, we can fight back inside and outside......"
In fact, when the demons climbed to the top of the hill and found that the top of the mountain, which was supposed to be a battlefield, was empty, they began to search everywhere.
They even sent several ghost reconnaissance teams to the bottom of the deep ravine below the cliff to search, but unfortunately they couldn't find Gulitham and his party.
If it weren't for the red-eyed bats returning to their nests in the evening to attack the invaders like Gullitham, the demons would not have imagined that these people would have taken refuge in the cracks in the rocks halfway up the cliff face.
However, even if they discovered the whereabouts of Gullitham and the others, the demon warriors could only return to the jungle to collect bundles of vines, which they braided into tough ropes and hung down from the top of the cliff before sending the demon warriors to follow the vines into the cracks in the rocks.
Gullitham and the wolf knight Tiger waited below, and slew several demon warriors in the crevices of the rocks.
The Gulit Squad spent a day in the crevices of the rocks. Night.
In the face of the repeated attacks of the demon warriors, all the ten ghost soldiers and ants brought over were killed, two heavy infantry also died in the chaos, three heavy armored soldiers were injured, and the wolf knight Tiger was slightly injured.
At noon on the third day, Gulit saw a group of magicians riding magic handles suddenly appear in the sky across the cliff.
