1453. A squad of demons
In the night sky, there is a river of stars.
The wind wafted the scent of lilac trees from the halfway point of Moyunling.
At this time, a faint purple color appears in the mountains, which is very light, but it has a fresh fragrance at night.
The wooden houses in the barracks were not built on trees, they were not very large, and there were six bunk beds in them, and each room could accommodate twelve infantry soldiers.
There are windows in the north and south of the wooden house, and the wooden windows are opened to let the wind into the house and carry away the strong resinous scent.
The bed was a little stiff, and there was no hay or hides on it, and Elder Buthola couldn't sleep a little as he lay on it.
Perhaps it was because he had drunk too much black tea in the evening, and along the gap in the window, Elder Bu Ryla sat by the window, and when he looked up, he could see the soft night.
The natives of the northern mountains have changed a lot recently, and the tribal warriors with weapons and armor have fought many battles in the dense forest, and although the demon warriors still occupy the initiative on the battlefield at some times, at least the tribal warriors can also fight some evil spirits.
Moreover, the hunting path of the demons to the north was blocked by the tribal warriors, and the demon army on Moyun Ridge now had fewer ways to obtain food.
Elder Bula brought the young warriors of the tribe to the south of Moyun Ling this time, in fact, in order to be able to establish some contact with the imperial army, Elder Bula brought a lot of Warcraft materials from his hometown, and he knew that the people of the empire liked these Warcraft materials very much.
When he came to the barracks and saw the soldiers in the barracks who were training, Elder Bujuna had some new ideas.
It occurred to him that he wanted the tribe's warriors to grow, and that it would be better for the young people of the tribe to receive such training......
Elder Bulgara thought that this matter would be of great benefit to the indigenous tribes, and he had also obtained the consent of Lord Surdak, who was really a good person, and so readily agreed to his request.
So tonight he couldn't wait to write a long letter to Elder Ambroby, which must clearly state what he had seen and heard in the garrison camp, and most importantly, the attitude of Lord Surdak towards the tribe.
He is then in charge of signing the contract......
With this in mind, Elder Bushara spread a hide on the table, diluted the red rock powder with water, dipped his finger in some red dye, and then wrote down lines of text on the skin.
He wants to write a lot, so he needs to organize the language carefully.
It is believed that it will not be long before an aboriginal army will join the camp of the Western Route Army.
……
The night was like a gentle black veil, covering the mountains in front of you.
The inside of the barracks had become quiet, and even Nika had rare time to sit in the courtyard of the command post and sit with Signa and tease a little raccoon that he had caught out of nowhere.
Signa and Nika crouched in front of the cage and shoved a few blades of grass into the gaps in the cage.
The bear shrunk in the corner of the cage and shivered with fear......
The wooden house of the command post enclosed an inner courtyard in the barracks station, and several women of the medical team squatted in front of the wooden basin to wash clothes.
The merchant Malacombe bought them from the slavers and given them to Surdak in Dodan Town, where they were originally just a group of maids, but then spent a relaxing time with Nika in the Temple of the Two Goddesses, and now have become members of the Western Route Army's medical team with their knowledge of herbology.
The women had re-boiled some of the blood-stained bandages in a large pot and now dipped them in a wooden basin filled with cold water, wringing them out and hanging them on a drying rope in the inner courtyard.
These drying ropes also have some women's insides hanging from them. clothes, it looks like it is full of life.
Stepping out of the tub and wrapped in a dry bath towel, Selena stood barefoot in front of the bronze mirror in the bathroom.
Selena never imagined that one day she would have this experience, her body was like a transparent container, and most of the time she was able to control this body, but sometimes she felt that another powerful soul shared her body, and with that soul was injected into her body was a more powerful force—the power of darkness.
She clasped her hands over her chest. Before, close your eyes and wait for the night to come.
……
Surdak felt that Selena's personality had sometimes become colder since she gained the power of darkness.
In fact, he sometimes misses the little house in the village of Wall, although the house leaks everywhere in the winter, but it can make Surdak feel the warmth of the cottage.
The bed was covered in soft animal skin, and the smooth back shone softly in the moonlight.
Outside the window, several maids of the medical team were singing a tribal song.
Selena lay on Surdak's side, her smooth arms propped up, her golden curls spread across the bed.
She closed her eyes and savored the last hint of it, reached for the pomegranate juice that lay beside the bed, drank it in one gulp, and brought her body closer to Surdak's arms.
She pressed her head to Surdak's chest, and could clearly hear her heart beating.
"Bang ......"
Seeing that Selena's eyes had regained the clarity of the lake, Surdak's fingers rubbed against the dark magic pattern on Selena's shoulder, and whispered to Selena:
"Goddess-sama has been coming so often lately?"
"She probably wants to make the aborigines here believe in the night......"
Selena squinted her eyes and said a little lazily.
Covered by Surdak's soft lips, Selena only felt another intense vertigo, turned over and wrapped her hands around Surdak's neck.
……
In the distance, the low roar of demons continued to be heard in the mountains......
General Zabriz and a group of demon warriors set foot in the mountains, and found that a lot of trees had been cut down, and there was a smell of human activity everywhere.
They chased a native warrior from the northern mountains to come here, and they didn't expect to cross the entire Moyun Ridge.
The demon warriors spent a lot of physical strength, and when they came here, they found that a group of evil spirits had actually walked directly from the north of Moyun Ridge to the south.
There was a faint sound of footsteps in the distance, the rustle of leather boots on dead leaves.
An adventuring group burrowed into the mountain range at the foot of Moyunling Mountain at dawn, and the swordsman who walked in the front happened to be the head of Hayes, and they walked out of Moyunling this time, and almost every member of the adventuring group had hunted it.
With the first rays of the morning sun, slide down the cliff face of the mountain.
Hiding the bottom rope in the vines, this is the way they must climb the mountain wall into Moyun Ridge.
Although the rock wall here looks steep, when you climb, you will find that there are always some borrowing points on the cliff wall, as long as you climb a few hundred meters along the rock wall, there is a trail that leads to the depths of Moyun Ridge.
The last of the party members jumped off the cliff and landed firmly on the ground covered with leaves.
Captain Hayes exhaled softly, he made eye contact with Commander Gunther, and then waved his hand to the members of the adventuring group in front of him, and the team walked in the direction of the Western Route Army garrison camp.
"Back to the camp this time, we can rest for three days, wait until all the materials are processed, and before those demons can react, we can go in and do it again." Captain Hayes leaned over Captain Gunther and whispered to him.
Captain Gunther also looked very excited, and whispered to Captain Hayes:
"The fact that our two teams have gained so much from working together for the first time is really a bit unexpected for me......
While the leaders of the two adventure groups were talking in a low voice, the ranger who was walking in front suddenly jumped onto a large tree and raised his hand to the team behind.
Captain Hayes immediately stopped and looked at the ranger in front of him.
The news that Coffey, a member of the party, had returned from the front had found traces of demon warriors on the slope ahead, and there were at least two of them......
Encountering the demon warriors in the dense forest is normal for the adventure group, but the reason why Captain Hayes is a little hesitant is precisely that this place is not too far from the garrison camp, and it is said that this area has been trampled by the adventure group countless times, and now there are traces of the demon warriors.
Captain Hayes didn't attribute it to luck at the first time, he was more worried about the trap set by the demons than luck.
What's more, their adventure group had just come out of Moyun Ridge, and the adventure group had already made a good harvest, so Captain Hayes didn't need to take the team members on the adventure together.
Without finding out the specific situation, Captain Hayes was not prepared to attack rashly.
Waving his hand at Kofi, who was waiting in front of him, Kofi immediately slipped down from the tree and immediately retreated the way he came.
"What's up ahead?"
Captain Hayes asked Coffey.
Coffey immediately reported truthfully: "I found two demon warriors in the bushes, and I suspect that there is at least one demon squad hiding on the hillside ahead......"
"Get around that demon squad, be careful, I'm afraid this group of demons wants to fight back against the camp, so we'll go around from the south."
Captain Hayes said cautiously.
"Why don't you rush over and kill them?" Commander Gunther asked, a little puzzled.
"It's too dangerous for us to take the risk at this time, but we can tell the rest of the adventure party that there are demons here." Captain Hayes walked to the south slope without looking back, talking as he went.
The members of the other adventuring groups followed closely, and when they were far away from the hillside, there was a clear and pleasant sound of copper whistles among the mountains.
This is to notify the other adventure parties that there are traces of demon warriors nearby......
This slope is not far from the garrison camp in Moyunling, and the sound of the copper whistle faintly reaches the tent area here.
Many of the party's members emerged from their tents and looked in the direction the sound came from, and even a mercenary group reacted quickly, searching the area along the hillside......
……
General Zabeloz didn't expect the humans here to be so alert, and it made the two demon warriors take the initiative to expose, but the human team that appeared on the opposite hillside did not chase after the demons.
After discovering the demon warriors, they chose to take a detour in alarm.
This made General Zabelez a little confused, and it was impossible to catch up at this time.
The group of demon warriors he led had not eaten for a few days, and watching the prey quietly disappear, a group of demon warriors were inevitably a little lost......
"General, shall we chase?" A demon banner asked General Zabeloz for instructions.
General Zabeloz pointed in the direction of the garrison camp and instructed the demon banner, "Let's go that way, there should be a lot of human ...... gathered there."
"Yes!"
The demon flag immediately led the demon team and touched it in the direction of the garrison camp.
It's just that this group of demon warriors never expected that it was the Hayes Adventure Group that gave up the opportunity to hunt and passed the news to the tent area of the garrison camp, so that they met more than a dozen adventure groups and mercenary groups head-on.
……
As soon as one of the adventuring parties left the tent area and crossed the northern hillside, the team members who were at the front saw a demon squad appear on the opposite slope.
The group of demons didn't seem to realize that their whereabouts had been exposed to an adventuring group, which was located just across the hill from the garrison camp.
They seem to be very unfamiliar with the terrain around here......
More than one adventuring party saw the demon squad, and when everyone saw their prey, they all quickly approached the demon squad.
Just as they were about to take action, they suddenly found that there was a demon general behind the team.
Suddenly, these adventuring groups did not dare to continue to approach.
This is on the edge of the tent area, there are at least a few hundred adventure groups living in the tent area of the camp, someone blew the copper whistle again, and more adventure groups ran out of the tent area, everyone hid on this side of the mountain, secretly observing the evil ghost team on the other side of the hill.
Seeing a demon general, most of the adventuring groups become extra cautious.
After all, not every adventure group has a second-turn powerhouse.
And even if there is a second-turn powerhouse, not every second-turn powerhouse has the strength to defeat the demon general.
Dozens of adventuring groups began to observe from a distance, and although these adventuring groups did not communicate, they did not dare to approach rashly, but just waited for the demon team on the opposite side to approach recklessly.
Some familiar adventure groups have begun to communicate in private.
Two of the adventure groups even approached from the side, apparently trying to cut off the retreat of this demon team in the direction of the Moyunling Pass.
Although the other adventuring groups did not act rashly, members of the adventuring group continued to appear on the hillside here, and a hunt against the evil general Zabeloz was quietly unfolding.
The group of demon warriors who had traveled thousands of miles from the northern mountains had not yet realized the danger here.
They smelled humans and saw human warriors on the hillside, but the demons didn't stop.
General Zabeloz was still a little strange, why didn't those human warriors on the opposite hillside want to escape, did they think that hiding in the bushes would not be able to find their traces?
