Chapter 564: Gathering Fire
"There is a nest of insects in the corridor of the city gate, and a large wave of insects is crawling out." Looking at the passage of the city gate, the two Beric brothers almost collapsed on the spot when they heard this.
"Calm down, they're not that powerful, just think they're wolves." Lookat their expressions and persuade.
"Even zombies dare to fight, but these things are really... They're demons!" Buric said, shuddering.
His eyes narrowed, and he said, "I know, you two will stand behind me for a while, don't run around." ”
"Understood!" The two brothers said in unison.
As their words fell, all the insects in the corridors of the city gate crawled out, they had rough human and spider features, some silkworm-like bodies covered in green with black spots, and soft heads with countless tentacles, sharp claws, and armor, shaped like puppies, or had a pair of tattered wings on their backs.
With a long tongue and a hollow straw, where have these city mercenaries seen this, except for shooting arrows at the moment when the bugs rush out of the darkness, they are all trembling when they aim at all kinds of terrifying things, after all, these bugs are a little too scary for them.
When the bow and arrows were used up, he reached out and threw out a large ball of phosphorus powder, and the area burned instantly, isolating the impact of the insects.
Taking advantage of this gap, he dragged Beric's quiver over him, and after glancing at the other mercenaries, he said, "I thought that as a mercenary, I would dare to fight even when facing the Demon King." ”
A group of mercenaries looked at the mercenary when they heard this, some of them lowered their heads in shame, some of them had not yet reacted to the impact, some of them were disdainful, and some of them were bold in their arguments.
"Everything needs a time to overcome and accept, and their appearance is really terrifying, can you tell me how you overcame it?" A few mercenaries who were unwilling to accept their incompetence asked.
"These bugs are a little scary overall, but they're better if they are taken apart." "For example, if you have a human face behind them, you can look at their claws, and if your claws are terrifying, you can look at their eyes, and if your eyes are not suitable, you can look at their shadows, so as to determine where their bodies are, and then shoot." ”
"If you're worried that you won't be able to hit it, you can look at its body, you can squint your eyes and look at it, so that it will give them a phantom on their appearance, and the ugly ones will be cut off."
A group of mercenaries were slightly surprised when they heard this, there was such an operation, seeing that the fire was extinguished, the insects pounced again, and the mercenaries hurriedly followed the words of the mercenaries, but the result was completely ineffective, those insects were all superb, and they didn't look good.
The insect approached, and the mercenary who couldn't bear the visual impact turned around and ran, and the others saw that someone ran and hurriedly followed, and when he saw this, he also shot all the quivers of the three of them empty, and then dragged the brothers to run, and ran with his teammates, he never lost.
The encirclement in front collapsed, and the mercenaries who treated in the back didn't care about letting the regiment commander treat them, so they climbed on their horses and fled, leaving only those who were mentally abnormal to love and pity themselves there, and became the nourishment of insects.
"Ah!!h
There were screams of those mercenaries behind them, and the group was stunned and didn't dare to look back, this was the time to run for their lives, and they couldn't waste a little.
When they escaped a few hundred meters, the mercenary who led the escape completely stopped when they didn't hear the sound of the insects, and the two brothers who were on the same level as him also let go of the two brothers and looked back, and saw that the insects were not chasing after them at all.
"May those who have passed away and the horses go to heaven, they all died for us." The mercenary leader sat on the ground a little out of strength, the situation was urgent just now, only the brave ones got on the war horse, and the others escaped from the ascension to heaven by their legs.
"For the sake of a fart, no one is so great, it's just slow." The mercenaries on horseback said with trepidation, they knew how powerful those bugs were.
"That's true, those guys have become food for the bugs, it should be enough for them to eat for a while, and we should be safe for the time being." A mercenary said.
"Okay, don't talk about it, those bugs are terrifying! It's not something we can deal with!" A mercenary shouted to stop them, shouting, "I want to go home!"
"Everyone wants to go home, but the question is, is our mission accomplished?" The mercenary leader asked, looking at the loud voice.
"We found poisonous red-toothed bugs, and we also found those monster bugs, as well as the people in the caravan before, so many discoveries, half of the task has been completed, right?" The mercenary said in fear.
"Half of the task, that is, not completed." Hearing this, the head of the regiment looked at the mercenary, "The core of the mission is to find out the root cause of the bug and the cause of the death of the investigation team, do you get some of the characteristics of the bug and go back, and then drink the northwest wind?" ”
"I don't care, I'm not going to go anyway, that's just death!" The mercenary said angrily.
"I'm afraid of death, what kind of mercenary are you going to be?" The regimental commander said angrily when he heard this, and then looked at the other mercenaries, "Those bugs are not very good as long as they overcome their fears, they can be killed with bows and arrows, and we can also use other means, such as potions." ”
"Potions? Are you kidding? Is we enough money for a bottle of potions for this mission? The mercenaries scoffed when they heard this, and the other mercenaries were silent, indeed, their commission for this mission was very high, but they couldn't buy a few bottles of potions.
Hearing this, the regiment commander took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the mercenary beside him, "You all have a look." ”
The mercenary picked up the paper and looked at it, his expression slightly surprised, and asked, "Is this true?" ”
"It has the archbishop's seal on it, of course it's true." said the head of the regiment.
"Something, show me."
"I'll take a look, too."
The paper circulated through the crowd, and finally reached the hands of the man, only to see that it was written: During the investigation, the church will bear the full cost of all necessary goods.
There are also the private seals of the church and the archbishop.
"If that's the case, I still have two vials of life-saving potions that I can take out and use."
"I have oil, I can take it out."
"I have..."
A group of mercenaries were confident when they heard this, and some inferior potions could be counted as high-grade potions when they were settled later.
"I also saw the battle just now, that thing is really terrifying, we can't use our full ability when facing them, so we should choose a person, give him resources, and let him help us open the way."
The head of the regiment watched a group of mercenaries cooperate so well, pointed at Yang Se and said again, "I think he's good, do you agree?" ”
A group of mercenaries all looked at Yang Se when they heard this, he did perform well in front of the battle before, he retreated after shooting three quivers, and there were those who borrowed quivers, but the mercenary who didn't borrow him can't see it now.
"Agreed."
"It's all about the mission."
"I'll leave it to him, I'll rest assured."
"And what about your opinion?" The head of the regiment looked at the scorn and asked with a smile.
"Don't worry, those bugs under the fire are not as good as ordinary wild dogs." He replied as he looked at the group of mercenaries who seemed to be looking at hope.
