Chapter 248: The Show Begins!
The swamp night, cold and damp, the silent night seems to never rise, so that everything in the swamp is shrouded in a kind of eternal night that is difficult to escape.
A drop of dew slid gently down from the blade of grass of the reeds, making a soft ticking sound, and melted into the muddy water trampled by the horses' hooves, and countless heavily armed centaurs walked past the reeds, moving swiftly and silently in the direction of their destination.
"Great Chief!" a scout in charge of the lookout greeted the group, who approached the High Chief and told him that the Amazons had left the village not long ago, and that the village was currently guarded by only a few guards.
The High Chief ordered his troops to stand by and followed the scouts closer to the village, where he saw the flickering light of the fire looming in the night, and in the dim darkness there seemed to be a figure standing beside the hut, and everything else was silent.
"Act now, attack from three sides!" the Centaur Grand Chief gave the order back, and the centaur leaders immediately divided their troops into three teams and quietly approached the village in the night.
The centaurs rushed into the village as they roared from around the village, but to their surprise, they met no resistance, no sentinels were seen on the treehouses on the outskirts of the village, and no one was seen in the village.
The chief hurried into the village and ordered the soldiers to search every hut, but the soldiers found no one, only a few wooden stakes carved into human shapes that had been placed near the huts.
"How so?" the Great Chief looked at the wooden stake that had been moved in front of him by the soldiers in surprise, and before he could react to what was going on, he heard a roar coming from the southeast of the village.
A large number of jackals with red eyes rushed into the Amazon village with a crazy roar, and launched a fierce attack on the centaurs in the village.
"I didn't expect those Amazons to be killed so quickly, but we won't be as weak as them!" The centaur chief who heard the news sneered, raised the shining halberd in his hand and shouted: "Kill all those jackals and let them know who they can't be provoked!"
The centaurs' spears pierced the bodies of the gnolls again and again, the galloping hooves turned them into mud, the ferocious gnolls cut off the legs of the centaurs with their fangs and claws, and tore their bellies, turning them into blood and corpses, and the village huts burned in flames, turning the corpses and blood into horror.
Just as the two sides were fighting to the death, a blue luminous body suddenly floated from the north of the village, followed by countless dense red points of light behind it, and the blue luminous body led countless red luminous objects to rush towards the village, sending a buzzing sound of wings to the ears of centaurs and jackals.
The blue luminous body that led the way into the village with a dense array of red dots behind him, transformed into a lamp god, and turned to face the menacing red dots, watching them whizz past him and pounce on the centaurs and gnolls who were fighting fiercely.
The flames burning throughout the village illuminated the sudden uninvited guests, and swarms of dragonflies watched the fighting centaurs and gnolls with vicious red eyes, flapping their wings to join the murderous melee.
"Aha, I love it!" the god of lights floating above the village grinned widely, looking down at the chaotic battlefield below, as if enjoying a good stage play.
"Hit him, yes, that's it, give him an uppercut!Oh, it's a beautiful hit, I like it, hahahaha!" shouted the lamp god as he shook his huge fist.
The centaurs, who were already on the losing ground, began to retreat in a hurry after being attacked by the dragonflies, but the gnolls still fearlessly pursued the centaurs and launched a frenzied attack on the approaching dragonflies, and the dragonflies, centaurs and jackals became entangled in each other, making the battle even more intense.
"Great Chief, our troops can't withstand the attacks of dragonflies and gnolls at the same time, and they have already suffered heavy casualties!" several centaur leaders fought their way to the Great Chief, and reported in horror.
"How can this be, how did those damn dragon flies come here?" the Great Chief cursed angrily, and under the repeated urging of the generals, he gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat.
"The centaurs have retreated, and it seems that our plans are going very well. In the wilderness near the Amazon village, Antonio, hiding behind the reeds, looked at the departing centaur procession and said to Tully and Catherine beside him.
"The fighting in the village doesn't seem to be stopping," Tali listened to the roar coming from the direction of the village, turned back and pressed her hand to the golden oil lamp on her waist, and asked Antonio softly, "Do you want to summon the lamp god back and let him go and bring in some dragon flies to help in the battle?"
"No need, the dragonfly nest is too far away from here, it's too late to go now. Antonio shook his head lightly and said, "Just let them continue to fight, I'm more worried about what happened to Rogge's side." ”
Catherine on the side silently looked in the direction of the village, and suddenly saw a gnoll holding a chain hammer appear in her field of vision, Catherine suddenly felt itchy hands, raised the super fire gun "Luna Gaze" aimed at the gnoll, and was about to pull the trigger, when suddenly saw a dragon fly fly and hit the gnoll's body.
At first, the raging gnoll frantically waved its claws and chain maces to attack the dragon fly, but soon fell to the ground weakly, the red light in his eyes gradually disappeared, and the light of the blood dagger inserted in his back also dimmed in the aura of exorcism, and finally disappeared completely.
......
"When I get back, I'm going to kill those two damned merchants!" said the Centaur Chief to his men through gritted teeth, "Give them to me in a cauldron to cook...... No, use a knife to slice them alive and stew them alive!"
When they finally hurried back to the centaur camp, they saw the two merchants standing at the door of the camp, waving to them unhurriedly, and the wounded merchant laughed loudly: "How is it, Great Chief, this battle must have been fruitful, right?"
"Bastard, kill them for me!" the Great Chief pointed angrily at his spear, and the centaurs behind him, who were holding back their anger, were about to make a move, when they heard the sound of killing around them, and two Amazonian armies swarmed out, and javelins and arrows flew towards them like a storm.
The unprepared centaur army was instantly killed and wounded, and the rest of the people scattered in all directions in a panic, leaving only the corpses all over the ground uncollected, and the Amazon warriors chased and killed for miles, only a few dozen centaurs escaped with their lives, and the rest were all buried in the swampy wilderness.
"I told you, Great Chief," Rog smiled and shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the corpse of the Great Chief, lying in a pool of blood, covered in arrows and javelins, "You will gain a lot from this battle, such as ...... Eternal life!"
"Lisa, I'll leave this matter to you, Murphy and I still have some personal grudges to deal with. He turned back to Lisa and shouted, "Little villain!"
The little owl, which was jumping around on the carcass of the centaur, turned and flew in front of him, hearing him say, "It's time to teach those two stinky bats a lesson!"
Hearing Rogge's words, Lilith suddenly came to her senses, she used the shrinking technique to turn him and Murphy into villains, and flew them in the direction of the jackal barracks, and the small black figure melted into the swamp night, and quietly came to the sky above the barracks.
"Be careful, brother, you better not let go of your fists and don't give them a chance to bite you!" said Rogge, who was standing on the back of the little owl, looking down at the dark barracks below, to Murphy beside him.
"I think you're right, I don't want such an eternal life!" Murphy smiled approvingly, pulling out the only remaining thunderbolt sword from his back and holding it in his hand, the snow-white cloak and pants on his body suddenly turned into hard marble.
Lilith landed in the barracks, put Rog and Murphy on the ground, turned them back to their original forms, and flew back to Rogge's shoulder and asked, "Where are the stinky bats, I don't smell them!"
"Don't worry, they must still be here, we need to find them!" Rogge drew his silver sword from behind his back and commanded as he walked forward, "Little villain, watch our left, right and back, don't let them sneak up on us!"
"Why do I have to watch so many faces, it's not fair!" cried the little furball in embarrassment.
"Who made your neck turn two hundred and seventy degrees?" Rogge raised his eyebrows at her slyly, and strode along the main road of the barracks side by side with Murphy, the barracks was dead silent at night, and the remaining blood stains could be seen on the ground from time to time, as well as the stray tents.
Suddenly, the little furball turned his head to the left, opened his eyes wide and sparkled in the night, and whispered, "I heard a sound, it looks like someone is fighting!"
"You're right, I heard you. Rogge nodded approvingly, and the little furball glanced back at him, adding, "I heard it first!"
"Do you know what it means to shoot a shot?" asked Lilith as Rog and Murphy ran in the direction the voice came from.
"The stupid girl's gun won't hit me!" said the little furball confidently.
Before the words fell, Rogge and Murphy had already passed through the camp gate of the camp, and a projectile hit Lilith's head with a "snap", and the little furball was hit on her back by surprise, she fluttered her little wings and finally turned over, tasted what was stuck to her mouth, and hurriedly spit it out again.
"Who's throwing garlic sauce around!"
"I think the person you're looking for is there. Rogge said, pointing to the empty space between the two rows of collapsed tents in front of him.
Lilith looked back in the direction he was pointing, and saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing not far from them, one wearing a swallow-tailed cloak and the other in a dark red maid outfit, and the little furball recognized them as the vampire brother and sister Ryan and Annie.
On the opposite side of them, a man wearing a red-patterned cloak on a white background, holding a shiny silver sword in his right hand and a wooden handcuff in his left hand, the muzzle of the black hole hole was already aimed at the chest of the vampire Lori.
