Chapter 26: The Burning Fire (2)
"Turks, your father and the emperor will go first, don't worry, you should be in a safe position by now. Jack said to Tex who was hiding behind a tree.
Tex nodded, motioning for Jack to hide himself as well, "There are about ten of us now. But according to the brothers who inquired earlier, there were at least five or six fire-breathers, and the fire in their mouths could instantly scorch people. ”
"What then, we don't have the advantage in numbers and equipment?" asked Jack worriedly.
Pointing to the valley to the left of the village, Turks said, "I left two archers behind. Then he smiled and waved his hand for Jack to follow him.
Jack took the sword he had borrowed from the soldier and cautiously looked around, quietly following Tex.
In terms of wit, Jack is confident that he is better than Tex, but in terms of combat experience, Jack is defeated, unless it is at sea, but to put it bluntly, Jack's combat experience at sea is limited to ordinary animals such as sharks and whales. Overall, Jack considers himself a rookie.
A squad of ten men, divided into three columns, Jack and Turks, and two other soldiers, approached the village from the front. The other two columns, three men each, with an experienced archer on each side, approached from both sides. Such a formation not only ensures combat capability, but also avoids being attacked by staying together.
The Turks team took the lead, carefully approaching the village and searching for surviving residents. The other two teams were not far away to help them monitor the flamethrower's movements.
Unfortunately, only charred bones were seen along the way, but no traces of living people were seen.
"Tex! the monster is flying towards you!" Just as Jack was lamenting the sad scene, a sudden shout came from behind, and Jack turned around to find a monster with a bright red body and wings like a lizard flying towards them!
This is Charizard! Turks, their legendary fire-breathing monster named Rem!
Jack panicked. Seeing that the red rem more than three meters long was about to fly closer, Turks hurriedly dragged Jack and ran in the direction of the valley: "Everyone go to the valley over there! Quick!" Before the words fell, three or four more rem monsters flew out of the woods, and the flames in their mouths made the place they went scorched!
The other two squads were also being pursued by the monsters at this time, and the fire that was so close that it seemed to be on the scalp was so hot that people were hot!
"Quick! to the valley!" said Tex as he directed them.
"Archers part, let's rest of us together!" Turks continued to shout.
Jack didn't understand why Tex had everyone stay together, wouldn't that magnify the target even more? Wouldn't it be more dangerous? And the direction that Tex told them to run in the valley was wouldn't that be like catching a turtle in an urn for the Rem monsters!?
But at the moment, there was no room for other plans, and Jack had to follow Tex's crazy run.
A soldier behind him who wanted to use his sword to slash the Rem monster had not raised his hand, but as soon as he turned around, he was burned black as scorched earth by the intense flames of Rem, and he became a dead man before he even had time to suffer!
Sure enough, just as Jack thought, the five rem monsters turned their attention to the remaining seven of them! The two archers took advantage of this opportunity to climb the mountain and hide.
"Aren't you sending us to death!?" Jack turned around and saw the five flame-spewing Rem monsters, and didn't know what to do, so he kept running and questioning Tex.
"Trust me!" replied Turks confidently.
The seven of them ran like this, and finally ran to the end of this "back" shaped valley, with no way out.
A few people had to stop, gasping for air.
Turks turned around, pointed his sword at the approaching demons, and said, "You demons, you have killed so many innocent people, and today, I will avenge them!"
Jack thought that Tex was going to rush forward with a sword, but he hurriedly stopped Tex and said, "Don't be impulsive, going up is equivalent to death!"
Tex smiled and said, "I'm not that stupid, just wait and see." ”
Rem flew closer, but Turks watched them calmly, saying nothing or doing anything.
"Turks, are you waiting for death!?" Jack saw Turks like that, and didn't know what he was going to do, probably, he couldn't do anything but wait for death.
At that moment, a swift arrow flew from the mountain, and struck the forehead of one of the leading rem monsters, and the rem immediately fell from mid-air, lay on the ground and fluttered a few times, and then stopped moving.
The other four, probably frightened by the death of their companions, froze for a while, but only for a moment, and then continued to fly!
Subsequently, one arrow, two arrows...... One, two, three! Arrows from the mountain hit Rem Charizard one by one, and Rem fell in front of Jack and them.
Tex took the sword and stabbed Rem who was lying on the ground one by one, and after making sure that they were all dead, Tex gave a thumbs up to the two "sharpshooters" on the mountain, after all, without this accurate archery, it should be Tex and them who were lying down at this time.
These five rems are the legendary "Hell Messengers", because wherever the flames in their mouths burn, they will immediately become hell on earth, hence the title of "Hell Messengers". However, it is said that the Rem Charizard only stays in the mountains and does not attack living creatures.
"This, Rem, why did you fly to the Tana continent?" Jack was very strange after listening to Tex's introduction, it was clear that they were two creatures who were safe and sound, but they collided in this place, and humans were obviously the vulnerable side.
"Have you forgotten someone?" asked Tex rhetorically.
"Someone, you mean......" Jack remembered the man who was called the "leader of the orcs", and as it stands, she was the only one who could do such a cruel thing!
"Lina, you wait for me, in less than three months, I must make you pay for everything you have done!" said Tex as he gritted his teeth and looked at the village that had already become a sea of fire.
Jack understands Tex's feelings, who would want to see the inhabitants of their own territory killed?
"Turks, let's evacuate first, everyone in this small village should be dead, no one is alive. A soldier who had just returned from the village told Tex.
Tex's angry expression grew to sadness after hearing this, but then he calmed down again, and he said, "When we return, we will bury them." ”
The sea of fire behind him grew bigger and bigger, burning the whole sky a miserable red, and Jack didn't want to think of the people who were burned to death, he closed his eyes tightly, and followed Tex and them straight in the direction of Coren's journey.
