Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Tree Is Moving
"We've advanced more than a hundred kilometers deep into the forest, isn't this a destroyed bandit guerrilla stronghold? Then set up a headquarters here. Mokai said.
"Yes, General." The chief of staff said to the captain of the guard brigade on the side, "Order the guards to stop here!" ”
After the headquarters of the First Army Corps in Mokai confirmed the location, the stations of the Second Army Corps and the Third Army Corps were also determined in the vicinity.
This is still about a hundred kilometers away from the ruins of City 014, and the area around this hundred kilometers is a place where the Angel Guardians rarely set foot, hiding many monsters and demons, and their combat effectiveness is relatively strong, for their own safety, the headquarters of the three legions no longer follow the troops.
"The 1st Legion, the 2nd Legion, the 3rd Legion, advancing in a trident shape!"
Orders were issued one after another, and with the First Legion accompanied, the Second and Third Legions, which were originally a little cautious about the wilderness area, also let go of their pace and advanced rapidly, hoping to find more "heretics".
Their first target was the ruins of City 014, and the waterfall stronghold passed by.
Five kilometers outside the waterfall settlement.
Teng Teng Teng ......
The sound of horses' hooves galloping was heard, and two cavalry of the Angelic Guards in white light armor ran by.
They stopped by a stream, looked around casually, and dismounted.
These two third-order martial artist-level soldiers came from the elite Pegasus unit of the First Legion.
Today, with the increasing development of physical technology and spiritual technology, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is gradually declining, and only the first legion of the four legions retains the cavalry unit, for the sake of military appearance and ceremonial sense, although its members are at least third-order martial artists, but the actual combat effectiveness is not strong.
"It's strange, George, the monsters and demons around here are gone, not even the people." William took a sip of the stream water and said casually.
George unbuckled his belt and leaned at a tree beside him.
He stared at the arc formed by the urine as he explained it, and when he saw the liquid splashing at the roots of the tree, he suddenly felt a chill rise inexplicably from the bottom of his heart.
After quickly lifting his pants, George walked around vigilantly, and did not find anything abnormal, so he replied to William's words: "I also think it's strange, the living creatures around here seem to be dead, do you remember, we caught a Great Xia sinner two days ago, and interrogated him if there was any heresy, and he actually said that there is a force called the Great Xia Divine Guard!" ”
"Haha, Great Xia Divine Guard?!" William wiped his mouth and sneered, "It's ridiculous, how dare they call themselves the Divine Guard, so I beat that guy with a lot of nonsense to death on the spot, and if it were the poor worms of the Second and Third Legions, that guy would have died on the spot, and I had mercy to spare him." ”
"Yes, but the current situation is indeed beyond our expectations, maybe there really is a large organization of the Great Xia people?" George said, "They took all the living things here?" ”
William frowned: "I have to admit George, what you said makes a lot of sense." ”
George looked up at the sky as dusk approached and said, "Forget it, that's all for today's action, let's camp in place." ”
"No problem!" William removed the tent from his horse.
George turned on the communicator and heard a murmur of electricity.
This is the bad thing about radio communication, the further you go in the wilderness, the worse the signal.
After waiting for half a minute, George contacted his superiors and reported: "Report to the captain, William and I are camping near the 0385 coordinates!" Complete. ”
“...... Received, stay safe, I'm here to ...... Your location is not exact, but it is certain that you are around 0385...... Complete. ”
"Roger, done!"
George patted the communicator and complained, "Damn radio, it's really unreliable, when can we break through to the sixth order king level, so that we can communicate with divine thoughts." ”
"With your fourth-order Pegasus Divine Soul, I don't know when." William laughed.
As night fell, William and George lit a bonfire, ate a barbecue, placed a machine alarm, and fell asleep.
The night in this dense forest was eerily silent, except for the sound of insects.
In the middle of the night, George got up to drink water in a blur, he took two steps, and suddenly felt that something was wrong around him.
The drowsiness subsided suddenly, and he woke up a little, when he realized that something was wrong.
In front of him, there stood a big tree!
The appearance of this big tree is very familiar, it is the one he relieved in the evening.
George rubbed his eyes, looking confused.
He remembered that the tree was quite far from where he slept, after all, no one wanted to smell the noise.
"William!" George shouted that he was going to ask his partner.
William, however, did not answer.
George turned his head suddenly, and he saw that two meters away from him, William was lying on the ground, and the ground beside him was wet and black.
Through the bonfire, which had not yet been completely extinguished, he recognized that it was blood!
Blood was flowing, indicating that its owner had just been stabbed.
George's hand rested on the knife at his waist.
At the same moment, he suddenly felt a tingling pain in his back, and then, a bright piece of something stretched out of his stomach.
George's eyes widened and he knocked his head on the communicator.
However, there is only murmur.
Burst!
The battle knife was drawn, and Han Lidi's face was cold and angry, and he pushed George against the camouflage made of the big tree, and then made up a few more stabs on his neck.
After George clutched his throat and struggled for more than ten minutes before he died completely, Han Lidi also spat at him.
"Your uncle, you dare to pee on me!"
"Poof!" Behind Han Lidi, several large trees burst out laughing.
"I see who dares to laugh!" Han Lidi suddenly said majestically.
The crowd was silent.
Han Li snorted coldly and said, "Let's go!" ”
Immediately, the roots of several large trees were slightly raised, and it was difficult to distinguish them in the dense forest of the night.
Following.
Command of the 1st Corps.
The chief of staff was in a very bad mood, he did not receive a report from the Pegasus cavalry unit until eight o'clock in the morning, and as for the report of the Air Force, as always, everything was normal.
What can the Air Force see? It's all jungle!
Mo Kai came over drinking coffee from the American continent, and he asked, "Chief of Staff, what about the front-line report I want?" ”
"General, I'm waiting too!" The chief of staff said helplessly, "The squadron leader of the Pegasus cavalry unit has not yet replied to the news. ”
"Huh?" Mo Kai's battle-hardened acumen made Mo Kai sense that something was wrong, and he groaned for a moment and said, "Send a task force to search along the cavalry's reconnaissance route, immediately!" ”
The chief of staff replied: "Yes! ”
The task force departed, and four hours later, at noon, the first report was received by the command.
"The bodies of three cavalrymen were found."
Two hours later, a dozen reports arrived.
"Two cavalry corpses were found, five cavalry corpses were found......"
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the last report was received.
"The body of the commander-in-chief of the Pegasus cavalry, squadron leader Wells was found."
