Chapter 11: The Demon Messenger (Part II)
"What kind of sound is this?" asked Wang Junqing suspiciously.
"It's a wolf cavalry, let's get out of here, it's too late. The face of the third squad leader instantly turned pale, and his voice trembled.
Seeing the appearance of the third squad leader, Wang Junqing didn't care about asking any more, and hurriedly led the soldiers of the squad to rush in the opposite direction of the beast clan wolf cavalry.
In the blink of an eye, the deafening roar had reached the city of Anchorage, and the demon soldiers were suddenly plunged into chaos. The wolf cavalry of the five brigades was like entering a no-man's land, and the huge wolf tamer roared and pounced on the demon soldiers, using sharp teeth and sharp claws to viciously tear apart the fragile bodies of the demon soldiers.
The incident happened suddenly, and it was after the demon officers joined forces to cast magic, and before the mana could be recovered, the wolf cavalry rushed out. This is obviously a premeditated action of the beast clan, and after so many days of fighting, the commander of the beast clan, Sato Yasuto, has a clear understanding of the offensive methods of the demon clan. I endured it for so many days, and I was waiting for this opportunity.
This evening, when he saw the last demon reinforcements arrive, Sato Hoto conveyed an order to the wolf cavalry who had been lurking thirty kilometers north of the castle, and immediately attacked after the demons used the combined magic to break through the demon defense line as quickly as possible.
Thirty kilometers away, the wolf cavalry arrived in less than ten minutes. One by one, the taming wolves rushed headlong into the position of the demon soldiers under the castle of Anchorage with the huge impact of galloping speed.
Facing the sudden appearance of the beast wolf cavalry, the demon commander was also dumbfounded. In the past ten days of fighting, the orc army has been defending Anchorage Castle with all its might, and has not launched a counterattack, so the commander of the demon clan has gradually neglected the defense of his own position. The demon soldiers who came from all over belonged to different legions, and there was no unified command and dispatch, and there was a lack of contact with each other. It was not obvious at the time of the siege, but now when it is attacked by the wolf cavalry, all the weaknesses are exposed.
The outermost demon soldiers were the first to suffer, like harvested straw, and they fell down one by one. The officers temporarily lost their mana, could not use magic, could not block the onslaught of the wolf cavalry, and could only shout to their soldiers for defense. However, it is not easy to organize a defense now? The formation is in disarray, the soldiers cannot find the officers, the officers cannot find the soldiers, and everyone is already in a mess.
The wolf cavalry had a great advantage in attacking the demon infantry, and now they did not seek to kill the enemy, as long as they could disrupt the demon formation, they would achieve their goal. Although the demon soldiers are more than twenty times more than the wolf cavalry, if they want to stop these wolf cavalry, they can only fill in with human lives.
After a while, the wolf cavalry had already crossed through the demon position, leaving behind them a series of bloody passages, and the werewolf cavalry sitting on the back of the wolf tamer was covered with the blood of the demon clan, commanding the wolf tamer to go around in a big circle and rush to the demon position again.
At the same time, the four gates of Anchorage Castle were wide open, and a brigade of Berserk Bear soldiers surged out of the city gates, pounced on the demon soldiers who were in chaos outside the city.
The addition of the mad bear soldiers destroyed the last vestiges of the demon race's fighting spirit. After losing their fighting spirit, the demon soldiers gave up resistance and began to flee in all directions. Millions of demon soldiers crowded to flee Anchorage City, and the scene was chaotic.
At the suggestion of the third squad leader, Wang Junqing fled to the northeast with his squad. ran all the way, and after running for more than 20 miles, Wang Junqing and the others stopped to rest for a while, and the sound of killing was still shocking behind them. Taking advantage of the fact that the orc soldiers had not caught up, Wang Junqing took his team to the southeast again. Now I'm not afraid of being discovered by the demons, the demon soldiers are still too busy to take care of themselves, how can they still have the heart to deal with them?
I escaped seventy or eighty kilometers in one night, and by the time dawn came, I didn't know where the demons were. There was a dense forest in front of him, and deep into the woods, Wang Junqing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he escaped quickly, if he was a little later, wrapped in the rout of the demon clan, I am afraid that he would not be able to run far before he would be caught up by the wolf cavalry of the beast clan. If you die in the chaos, then you will be completely wronged.
Finding a flat place in the woods to lie down and rest, all ten of them had a feeling of the rest of their lives. The intelligence is almost done, and it's time to go back to Mengliang Fortress.
Now don't say that Wang Junqing can't figure out where he is, even those veterans can't find their way back.
"No matter where this is, we keep going west, and we can always return to Mengliang Fortress. I don't know what happened to the other teams, have you encountered the orcs?"
"That's all there is to it. The squad leader said worriedly, "I don't have the energy to think about other people now, if they are still alive, we will have a chance to meet them." ”
"The territory of the demon clan is so big, if you want to meet them, I'm afraid it's not so easy!" Wang Junqing shook his head and said.
"Let's be honest with you, the military chief gave us three flares to protect you, as long as you launch it into the air, all the soldiers who see it within fifty kilometers will rush over. ”
"We can't put our hopes entirely on them, we still have to rely on ourselves. Besides, if we fled here, there may not be any of our people nearby. ”
After identifying the direction, the group walked towards the southwest under the leadership of Wang Junqing. The southernmost side is the sea, if you can go to the sea and walk west along the sea, you will definitely reach the Mengliang Fortress. After last night's battle, who knows how many kilometers the orcs will advance south?
The western border of the Demon Race borders both the Human Empire and the Beast God Empire, so there are not many inhabitants in this large land, and there are large areas of primeval forests everywhere. This also added a lot of difficulties to Wang Junqing's progress, but it was also more conducive to them to hide themselves.
The primeval forest is full of ancient trees, and there is no decent road to find at all. You can only use the long knife in your hand to clear the low trees and shrubs on the road ahead, and make a path from them to settle down. Fortunately, these three squad leaders have a lot of experience in jungle exploration, walking in this invisible jungle, always maintaining the right direction of progress, and not getting lost.
The first squad leader once suggested that Wang Junqing launch a signal flare to try, but Wang Junqing refused. He didn't think there was any point in firing flares before they got out of the primeval forest, and even if a human warrior saw it, it would be difficult to get in touch with them.
After three days of walking through the forest, the trees began to thin out, and it should soon be possible to cross this primeval forest. The group couldn't help but speed up their pace, and no one wanted to stay in this forest for even a minute longer.
In these three short days, what they suffered was not ordinary. Needless to say, all kinds of beasts, the poisonous insect and giant mosquito alone almost killed them. The insects in this forest are the size of a fist, and the giant mosquito has outraced the sparrows. As long as they bite it, it will immediately swell up a big bag, and the itch is unbearable. After scratching, the pus and blood inside will keep flowing out, and it will fester.
Almost everyone had a lot of pus bitten out of their bodies, and the realgar that the squad leader brought with them had no effect on these poisons, and the drugs rationed by the army had no effect on the pus. After an initial period of helplessness, a squad leader stumbles upon a berry that has been mashed and applied to pustules to have a miraculous effect. That's why they were lucky enough to get out of this forest, otherwise these poisonous insects and giant mosquitoes would kill them.
After discovering the curative effect of this berry, Wang Junqing ordered to pick as many as possible, maybe bring it back and plant it, even if it is studied for its composition will be of great benefit to the army entering the forest in the future.
Just as he was about to get out of the forest, the squad leader stopped and ordered one of the team members to go out to reconnoitre, while the others temporarily hid in the forest and did not show their faces.
After about ten minutes, the soldiers who went out to reconnoiter quickly returned to the forest and reported to Wang Junqing: "Platoon commander, there is a squadron of wolf cavalry besieging a group of people one kilometer outside the forest. However, from the situation of the fight, it looks like it is with the demons, because both sides use magic. Now what do we do?"
"The orcs are moving so fast! The wolf cavalry has already arrived here! Let's go over and see before we decide. Wang Junqing ordered, "You come to lead the way, everyone be careful, don't be discovered by them." ”
Quietly sneaking to the place where the two sides were fighting fiercely and hiding on a mound, Wang Junqing saw the appearance of the warring sides clearly. An avenue crossed this primeval forest from east to west, and on the avenue less than a kilometer away from the forest, the beast wolf cavalry and the demon clan were fighting fiercely.
They must have been fighting for a short time, and there were dozens of corpses of soldiers on both sides lying on the avenue. The demon clan is a convoy of ten carts, the convoy is parked in the middle of the road, has been surrounded by wolf cavalry, and the horses pulling the cart have been bitten to death by the wolf taming under the crotch of the wolf cavalry. Without horses, the cart could only stop in the middle of the road.
The demon guards guarding the convoy are also very strong, unlike ordinary demons who can't fight hand-to-hand. The lowest-level demons have all reached the intermediate and high-level, most of them are high-level demons, and there are even two demon-level demons, one is the beginner-level of the demon, and the other is the high-level of the demon.
Led by a high-level demon clan, this is obviously not an ordinary demon team. Originally, the wolf cavalry of a squadron did not dare to easily attack a convoy with a demon-level demon race, but the squadron leader of this wolf cavalry was a wolf king with a group of more than 200 wolf tamers, which showed how strong the combat effectiveness of this squadron leader and his mount was, so he had the confidence to stop this demon convoy.
Under the command of this squadron leader, bite all the demon horses to death to prevent them from escaping. Then the squadron leader drove his mount against the high-level demon clan. The werewolf squadron leader is holding a thick-backed machete with a fire surname, and it has super attack power. The battle armor hung in batches is a native surname, and the defense is also quite good. Even the wolf tamer under the seat wears a special armor on his back.
The high-level demon clan looked a little anxious at this time, and kept scanning the ten carts on the road when he was fighting with the werewolf squadron leader. Apparently there was something in it that reassured him. made him scruple that he didn't dare to go all out, and was ready to rescue at any time. And another demon at the beginning of the demon level has been guarding the big car in the middle, not daring to leave half a step, but from time to time to provide some long-range attack magic for his own support, which makes the other demons fall into a bitter battle.
The two strongest attack points of their own side have been contained, and the demon clan is already less than the wolf cavalry of the beast clan, not to mention the werewolf soldiers plus the wolf tamer, the combat effectiveness is multiplied, they can hold on to the present and kill dozens of wolf cavalry, which has fully demonstrated their combat ability. It's just that the price they paid was also huge, there were originally less than a hundred people, and all those middle-level high-level and high-level beginner and intermediate levels were killed in battle, and only a dozen high-level and high-level demons were still struggling to support them.
Seeing that his subordinates were getting fewer and fewer, the wolf cavalry had approached the cart, and the demon-level high-level demon clan could no longer keep calm, a high-level fire magic cover towards the werewolf squadron leader, and he took advantage of the opportunity of the other party's dodge to quickly join up with his companions guarding next to the cart. At the same time, a series of magical spells quickly floated out of his mouth, and a large group of attack spells was being prepared.
