Desert northwest of Black Rock City.

A dozen masked horsemen in tawny cloaks and riding two-horned black rhinos sped toward a camp.

The camp is located in a canyon in the heart of a mountain.

The valley is full of tents, on the high stone walls, there are hundreds of stone caves of different sizes, on the top of the mountains on both sides, densely packed with tall and heavily armed warriors, every short distance there is a six-meter-high flag hunting in the mountain wind, even a few miles away, you can see the blood-dripping skull pattern on the flag.

This is a temporary camp of the demon army to conquer the south, countless demon soldiers walk through it, and there are constantly terrifying beast roars in the caves on the stone walls, and the surrounding mountains and rocks are shaken down one after another, rolling along the steep mountain wall into the valley floor.

The tawny cloaked demon scout team stopped as soon as they entered the camp, and the leading scout leader ran towards the largest tent deep in the canyon.

Passing through more than a dozen camps such as heavy armor soldiers, light spearmen, spear throwers, wizard camps, and monster camps in turn, he felt the bloody murderous aura emanating from the surrounding soldiers, and the scout captain's eyes also became fanatical.

After experiencing the great war of the demon alliance against the demon clan 10,000 years ago, the way the demon army is governed has completely changed. The chaotic style of fighting in the past, which relied on a strong physique to rush to the top, is long gone, and like human armies, they are also paying more and more attention to the military theory of arms restraint and formation tactics.

After the news of the appearance of the Demon God Statue and the True Demon Son came out, the raging war in the hearts of all the demons was ignited. In the eyes of the demons, they appeared at the same time, which was the demon lord's favor for the demons again, and it was also a godsend opportunity for the demons to revive and dominate the continent.

The captain of the scout walked quickly into the big tent of the Chinese army and saw the supreme commander of this army, a bald and strong man who was two meters tall, covered in cyan steel armor, and burly like a hill - Blood Slaughter Forest.

"Commander!"

The scout captain removed the red cloth from his face and fell to one knee.

"Huh?"

Standing beside the handsome case, staring at a map more than three meters wide and more than two meters high behind him, the silent Blood Slaughter Lin turned around after hearing the sound, and when he saw the scout captain on the ground clearly, two rays of light suddenly shot out from the tiger's eyes with a copper bell.

"Returning to camp so soon, what did you find?"

"Yes, Commander. ”

The captain of the scout stood up and said respectfully, "In a stone forest to the west, we found the corpses of the giants of the war in the clan. ”

"How did the corpse die?" said Bloody Slaughter Lin with his hands on his desk, and asked in a deep voice.

"Back to the commander, it's poison. ”

"Poison?"

"Yes, the war giant is indeed poisoned, and his body has festered. Judging from the signs of poisoning, like the corpses found before, they all came from the same powerful sword qi, which directly seeped into the demonic blood, causing an abnormal change. ”

"Is it him again?"

Blood Slaughter Lin frowned slightly.

The scout captain continued: "The villain has carefully investigated, that kind of sword qi does come from the same person, but there is another reason for the death of the war giant, I found dozens of claw wounds on his body, judging from the wound marks, it should be related to the wolf demon of the demon clan, in addition, it is this ...... that is really fatal."

As he spoke, the scout captain took out the cold iron shattered star arrow from his bosom and handed it over.

"Is this a rune arrow?"

Blood Slaughter Lin's brows furrowed even tighter after taking the arrow, he looked at it repeatedly for a while, and said to himself: "The sword qi of the human cultivator, the wolf demon of the demon clan, the runic arrow...... Where was the body found?"

The Scout Captain walked over to the map, his finger landing on the very edge of a gray area above.

"It's in this area. ”

Bloodslaughter Lin looked at the direction of the scout captain's finger, and his gaze gradually moved to a red square marker nearby, "Near Black Rock City?"

"Yes, Commander, this place is about two hundred miles from Black Rock City. ”

After staring at the red mark for a while, Blood Slaughter Lin shook his head and said, "These are our twenty-nine targets, so let's do it according to the original route of the march." In this way, you go to the vanguard camp to transfer a hundred wolf cavalry, scatter them nearby, and find out if the mysterious human elite cavalry squad has appeared nearby, remember, pay attention to hidden whereabouts, you are not their opponents. ”

"Yes. ”

The scout captain agreed, turned around to leave, and was stopped by the Blood Slaughter Forest.

"Bring this, it might work. ”

"Yes, Commander. Taking the Shattered Star Arrow from Bloodslaughter Forest's hand, the Scout Captain stepped out.

Arriving at the door of the tent, the scout captain put the red cloth over his face again, and was just about to turn over his mount, when a thin figure wearing a black robe and a black hat suddenly appeared behind him.

"Wait. ”

The scout captain turned his head, and when he saw the black-robed man, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a deep fear suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Strategist. The scout captain bowed.

"What's in your hand?" the black-robed man's grim voice reached the Scout Captain's ears again.

"An arrow. ”

"Bring it. ”

The scout captain hurriedly handed it over.

The black-robed man stretched out a withered black hand like a wolf's claw from the sleeve of his robe, grabbed the broken star arrow in the scout captain's hand, and when his eyes fell on the rune on it, his body stiffened, and the hand that grabbed the arrow began to tremble violently.

"Star pattern, it turned out to be the star pattern of the Cold Iron Shattered Star Arrow, yes, that's it, that's it!Quick, come on, where did you get this rune arrow?" the black-robed man grabbed the scout captain's arm and asked eagerly.

"Stone, stone forest. ”

Feeling the change in the black-robed human affection and the sharp pain in his arm that was stronger than being twisted by iron tongs, the scout captain broke out in a cold sweat all over his body.

"Where's the Stone Forest?"

"Black, Black Rock City West ......" Before the scout captain finished speaking, he suddenly felt that his arm was loosened, and the shadow of the man in black was gone, leaving only a cold bloody breath in the air.

......

......

"You want the army to change the direction of its march and attack Black Rock City?"

Blood Slaughter Lin sat on the handsome chair, staring coldly at the black-robed man in front of him, his voice full of impatience and boredom.

"Yes, Commander. ”

The black-robed man's face under his hat showed half of his white chin, and his emotions were unusually excited, as if a coyote who had been hungry for months suddenly saw a piece of fresh meat and would pounce on it at any moment.

"I can guarantee that there will be no mistakes, this talisman arrow was carved by his own hands, and there is even a residual smell of his body on it, this feeling is too familiar, I will never forget it, send troops, my lord, change direction, attack Black Rock City first, find him, the sooner the better, it will be too late......"

After listening to the black-robed man's almost crazy words, Blood Slaughter Lin sneered and said, "Strategist, have you forgotten your identity? I asked the chief priest for support, and I wanted a battle wizard who could deal with the temple priests, not a waste who would dictate and interfere with the commander's military orders. Since the day you entered the barracks, you have repeatedly caused trouble for Ben Shuai, if it weren't for the face of the High Priest, I would have turned against you a long time ago, and the Son of the True Demon would be in Black Rock City? What are you kidding? Tomorrow the army will march south, our target is the Demon God Statue, if you insist that the Son of the True Demon is in Black Rock City, then go find it yourself, Ben Shuai will not stop it. ”

"Commander-in-chief. ”

Seeing the resolute expression on the face of the Blood Slaughter Forest, the black-robed man suddenly took out a black token from his arms and shouted loudly: "I swear in the name of the Demon God, this talisman arrow is definitely engraved by the Son of the True Demon himself, I will tell you another secret, the reason why the chief priest sent me to help you is because I have lived on the island, I have been with him day and night for more than seven years, how can I not identify his identity?"

Looking at the token in the black-robed man's hand, Blood Slaughter Lin's face became solemn.

"Lord Blood. The black-robed man's voice raised again, "Don't hesitate any longer, that's the son of the true demon, he is much more important than the Demon God Statue! If you're worried that you'll be blamed by the Demon Lord for reversing the route of the march, then give me a team, and I'll personally bring him to you, if you can't do it, you'll be dealt with according to military law, it's all right?"

Blood Slaughter Lin lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on the broken star arrow on the table, and he was silent.

The black-robed man didn't speak again, just stood quietly in front of the handsome case, like a sculpture. Only the arm hanging at his side kept shaking.

I don't know how long it took.

Blood Slaughter Lin slowly raised his head, as if he had made a lot of determination, and said word by word: "You, how many centaurs do you want?"
