Chapter 52: The Swamp of Poisonous Crocodiles
Horst reminded Victor, and Victor contacted Septon and the others through the Magic Sound Stone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Septon, now you bring 10,000 troops outside the mouth of the Valley of Demonic Sound, and then camp there to wait for news of our next move. Victor commanded.
"The Valley of Magic Sound is not very long, only three or five kilometers, and the exit is not far in front of the black stone. "Step out of the exit, and there's a swamp of crocodiles not far ahead." ”
"The markings on the map show well, that poisonous crocodile swamp is even more terrifying than the Valley of Demon Sound. Victor showed a rare solemn expression, "Poisonous crocodile, this kind of demonic beast is extremely aggressive, if there is no way to restrain it, it is very likely to bury our army of 50,000, resulting in the complete failure of the deployment of the military headquarters." ”
"Let's rest at the mouth of the Demon Sound Valley today, meet with a few of them, and then discuss the actual situation. Looking up at the sky, Shalene suggested, "It's not too early, and since the matter of the mysterious voice on the side of the Demon Sound Valley has been resolved, it can be said that the plan is half successful." ”
"Hmm!" Victor nodded in agreement with Sarain's proposal.
In the night, the bonfire was raised, and today was different from yesterday. Without the interference of the mysterious voice, everyone, including Horst, felt extremely relaxed. Opening the way for an army of 50,000 men was no easy task, at least that's what Horst thought.
The army of 50,000 people is composed of ordinary soldiers, and they are not like Horst and others, who have a physique that surpasses ordinary people and have abilities that do not belong to ordinary people. For example, the use of mental power to resist mysterious voices is an example of this, and they can only advance through the Phantom Forest by using a special enchantment with four warriors in Cypton.
The march of the army was not very fast, but it still converged with Horst's advance party before dark.
"Tomorrow, your army will be stationed here for a day, and then a few of us will go to the Poison Crocodile Swamp to clean up the Poison Crocodile Monster there. Or rather, to carve out a path for you to pass. Victor assigned tasks in the tent, "Septton, you stay, stay with the army, and you can contact me in case of emergency." ”
"Barsarolo and Barsarome, and Edgar, the three of you are with us. ”
"Myron, Nigel, and Ian, you must rest well tonight and recover your mana, so that you will have enough strength to deal with the situation in the Poison Crocodile Swamp Forest tomorrow. ”
In the afternoon, the three of them were elemental mages, one used mana to prepare sodium carbonate solution, and the other used mana to prepare nitric acid, and the consumption was extremely high. Therefore, after solving the problem of Demon Sound Valley, all three of them looked a little prostrate. Fortunately, they all carry mage potions with them. Restores a portion of mana.
Although the three of them were all third-order mages, after all, the Demon Sound Valley was a canyon three or five kilometers long, and it was impossible to completely clean up the iron tetroxide on the stone walls on both sides, so the three of them only cleaned up part of it. Even so, it almost drained the mana. The taste of mana draining is definitely not pleasant, when Horst was fighting against the new Demon Wolf King on the periphery of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, he had squeezed out mana, and by the way, he also squeezed out his spiritual power, and he was in a coma for a long time at that time.
However, the pain also paid off, and Horst found that from that time on, he had Moria in his heart.
"I don't know how Liya is studying in the Temple of Light in the Natural Continent now, I hope she can be safe. Horst muttered inwardly, continuing to listen to Victor's assignment.
"It may take Horst, you, as a summoner, to solve some problems, don't procrastinate when the time comes. "Victor is a little serious.
"Understood. Horst's face did not change, and he replied with the same seriousness.
Late at night, in the territory of the Clark Empire, in a forest, it is still the same altar.
The blood-red ball of light on the altar is condensed and grows larger and larger, and there is still a blood-red light, flying from somewhere in the forest, merging with the ball of light.
Around the altar, there were countless black shadows sitting cross-legged, each of which flickered with two blood-red flames.
"Honor the souls of the dead, summon the staff of the dead in the name of my soul, and give me infinite power. Let war, sin, and blood wash the whole earth!" suddenly the chanting voice sounded, and the whole forest was suddenly filled with endless solemnity, which belonged to the undead.
Eerie, unpredictable, and seems to tell something.
A dark black skull staff suddenly condensed from the blood-red ball of light, and the white skull and dark black staff body symbolized death.
"Tremble, earth!" a dark shadow climbed onto the altar, took off his staff, and raised his hands as if he were being worshiped by countless black shadows.
Then, he thrust his staff into the center of the altar, and then, with the altar as the center, countless cracks opened in the ground beyond the range of all the black shadows.
"In the name of the undead, summon the power of the earth and sacrifice all lives for the rise of Clark!" the chant sounded again.
At the same time, inside the Rhine Fortress, the conference room of the military headquarters was brightly lit. Many officers were anxiously studying something, and Dimmit was there.
"I sensed a tremor in the southern forests of Clarke's empire, and I suspect that it may be a precursor to ground movement. The Rhine fortress must be prepared here, the walls of the frontier line do not know whether they are stable or not, and if they can't help but move, they will be in trouble. "Some officers were extremely anxious, and it was obvious that they had a deep grasp of the whole situation.
"Where is the surprise army led by the advance team?" someone asked, "Do you want to call them back and strengthen the defenses of the frontier?"
"It's too late, they have now entered the Phantom Forest, and they have reached the place of the Demon Sound Valley, I believe that they will be able to get out of the Phantom Forest in two days and reach their destination Altai City. Dimmit replied,
"But you know, in two days the Rhine will be cut off! Look at the depth of the river now, it's not enough to cover your knees!"
"No way, even if they are called back, it will take three to five days. What's more, once the surprise attack plan is successful, the Clark Empire can be said to be a devastating blow. ”
"That's right, once the horn is formed, the northern frontier of my Shenyang Empire will be able to gain at least five years of stability. ”
"That's true, don't panic, there is news from the royal family, the Shenyang Empire's plan to ask for help from the Nas Empire has been accepted by the Nas Empire, and once a full-scale war starts, the Nas Empire will send a support army to assist our army. ”
"Well, that's the best. ”
The night was extremely unpeaceful, but it was extremely quiet.
Early in the morning, the advance team set out from the mouth of the Valley of Magic Sound and headed for the Poison Crocodile Swamp, leaving the army garrison to keep Septton in mind.
After passing through the Valley of Demonic Sound, I advanced for a long time, and finally at noon, I began to feel the humidity of the air, which was unique to the swamp.
The muddy road, as if it had just rained, and shallow puddles that appeared from time to time, reminded everyone that if they went any further, they would reach the swamp.
"Look, there's a swamp of venom crocodiles ahead!" Victor's eyesight was good, and the trees in front of him were gradually decreasing, replaced by rows of reeds.
A swamp about five or six hundred meters wide suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and in the swamp, there were constantly green heads in the mud, and that was the poisonous crocodile.
"Ahh
The skeleton did not have a lower body, and it was obviously eaten by the venomous crocodile, leaving only the upper body.
"Methanemon!" Horst summoned Methanemon, injecting enough mana to grow to the height of a man.
"Myron, magic fusion technique, burn this skeleton!" Horst shouted, and then threw the methanemon over, wrapping the white skeleton with only the upper half of its body, and then Myron flew a cloud of pale blue gas towards the methane beast.
"Boom-" The fire was blazing, and in less than ten minutes, the skeleton was reduced to ashes.
"Looks like this half-skeleton has been stored here for I don't know how long, it's a pity. ”
Looking at the swamp in front of them, everyone's brows tightened. Obviously, if everyone is not careful, there is a possibility that the situation that happened to the half-skeleton before it was born, and it will end up with no corpse.
"There are a lot of poisonous crocodiles, and it is clear that it is impossible to strangle them. As Horst spoke, the swamp popped up from time to time and looked in the direction of the crowd.
"I think the Poison Crocodile Swamp is the scariest place in the Phantom Forest. Victor's face once again showed a solemn look, and everyone knew that this time he was really in trouble.
"Shalene, how do you singers play the ukulele?" Horst suddenly changed the subject and asked Shalene something irrelevant.
"At this time, do you still have time to chat?" Barsarolo said with a dark face, "I really can't do it, I use absolute defense enchantment?"
Absolute defensive enchantment,It's the existence of a bug among the soldiers.,Different from ordinary defensive enchantment,It can defend 360 degrees in all directions without dead ends.,At the same time, it's more difficult to break than ordinary defensive enchantment.,It's the word "absolute".。 However, this kind of absolute defensive enchantment is extremely energy-consuming, and a third-order warrior can definitely hold on for no more than five minutes.
"No, the absolute defense barrier, the three of you, including the Septon stationed there, even if you use them together, you can't bring all the 50,000 troops through this poisonous crocodile swamp in a short time. "Moreover, late last night, the military headquarters contacted me through the Magic Sound Stone and asked us to take the 50,000 troops out of the Phantom Forest and reach our destination Altai City within two days. ”
"Sharin, can the singer play the sleeping sound. Horst seemed to have something in mind, and the reason why he had just asked the singer how to play the ukele was for that purpose.
