Chapter 158: Triumph and the Watcher in the Shadows

The mission was set up in the 'station', which was a station, but it was just a treeless open space that was too wide;

This inexplicable treeless belt, which stretched out for some reason, suddenly appeared on the right bank of the Black River.

Unlike the trolls of the headquarters who have become accustomed to being builders, the witch doctors and chieftains who came from the allies are a little at a loss for what to do.

Previously, the Tooth had lent a lot of labor from their respective tribes in the name of 'building rails';

But in reality, it was not clear to them until this time what exactly the teeth had done and what they had built in the West.

Therefore, after following the treeless belt and looking at the bridge across the river in the distance, which looked unusually magnificent under the light of torches on both sides, they subconsciously thought that it should be all the achievements of the tooth this time...

Until the dense sound of "stampede" rhythmically from far and near, 10 columns composed of more than 800 moose slowly emerged from the other side of the bridge, and followed the track that stretched to the feet of the trolls such as themselves, as if they were pulling something forward;

The chiefs and witch doctors who don't know why, this time they have some enlightenment, and the teeth seem to have done a lot of things this time....

Then, behind the moose, a huge shadow was slowly pulled out of the curtain of night in a haze of firelight.

They finally let out a real exclamation and exclamation at what they saw.

"This... This... What a thing! ”

"It's incredible! Oh my Black Forest! ”

From this, a humming sound rang out from the 'Phalanx of Missions'.....

Naturally, it was not only allies who came to greet the convoy.

The trolls who remained behind in the headquarters, upon learning that His Excellency the Dictator and the expeditionary force would arrive tonight, spontaneously gathered within the distance from the river bank to the station.

They also craned their necks and waited.

So, when he saw the herd of moose that was even more majestic than he had imagined, and the silhouette behind it, which was so huge, that he could not understand the giant tree because of the darkness of the night.

The trolls who stayed behind, who were deeply proud and shocked, also let out bursts of cheers.

And when the torches lit up on the dorsal crest of the giant tree, completely exposing its majestic figure to the field of vision of all onlookers, the cheers finally reached a peak.

The moose herd dragged the giant tree slowly across the bridge, and when the giant tree, which was 90 meters wide and 120 meters long, finally approached, the trolls gathered around the treeless belt and realized that they were too close.

Unlike modern people, who are accustomed to seeing all kinds of skyscrapers and have a fairly high level of acceptance of giant things, trolls have never seen such a spectacle so closely;

Although the mountains and rivers seem to be much more majestic, the giant trees lying in front of you have a special feeling because of the "man-made feeling".

Therefore, under the ensuing sense of oppression, the trolls involuntarily retreated step by step, until they completely retreated into the forest on both sides, covering their bodies with the majesty of nature, and then they barely breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did they have the energy to really pay attention to the huge object in front of them.

Looking up, there is an endless arc, and the curves of the trunk create a visual illusion that makes it seem endless.

On both sides of the trunk, cages hung by vines held dozens of wind wolf lords who had been invincible in the past;

The vines bound their long snouts, and the body that should have been unusually large was unusually small because of the background.

These lord wolves with extremely high intelligence are constantly struggling desperately in their cages, trying to win a chance to escape for themselves before they can completely 'pronounce their fate';

But what bound them was the same material as the cave wolf prison, so no matter how much they struggled, they couldn't create even the slightest gap to escape, and they could only continue to serve as trophies to be observed in the cage.

"My compatriots!"

At this moment, the familiar voice of the dictator sounded from somewhere, and the trolls looked around to find the voice of the pioneer, despite the panic in their hearts.

"There! At the forefront! ”

The sharp-eyed troll immediately spotted Nesta's trail because he was standing relatively far back;

The trolls looked along his arms, some of them saw only the towering trunks of trees, while others saw the figure of His Excellency the Dictator as if he were standing on the top of a cliff.

As more and more trolls reacted, everyone ran in the direction of the station, as there was a pre-arranged plaza that only provided enough angles for them to look up.

The trolls were fast, and before Nesta could say a few more words, they all hurried backwards, all concentrated in the square in front of the station.

It was only then that they were able to see Nesta and the behemoth beneath his feet, aided by the light and angle of the fire.

And Nesta spoke again in due time, only to see him standing at the very top of the trunk of the tree lying horizontally, with his arms outstretched and raised high.

"Fellow citizens! Once again, we have a great victory! ”

His voice vibrated in all directions towards the wide angle in front of him through the amplification technique, and resounded clearly and loudly in the night.

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

The high-pitched response came from the station, from the headquarters, and then from the back of the train that had not stopped;

At the same time, the sound of neat footsteps also sounded from the shadows at the bottom of the giant tree.

At this time, the train slowly entered the station square, and with the stop of the moose herd, a piercing sharp friction sound sounded out of sight behind the train;

Subsequently, the whole train finally overcame its inertia and really stopped in the noise.

The train stopped in the north, while the square stretched south, and the inner and outer trolls also gathered on the wider south side at this time to witness it all.

The square was lit with torches, and the light of their flames dispelled the shadows at the bottom of the south side of the giant tree, and the 3,000 soldiers who walked on both sides of the road and guarded the train and the witch doctors at all times finally revealed their figures from front to back.

They emerged in a procession, fully armed and in orderly steps, from the shadows behind them, little by little into the range illuminated by the firelight;

The trolls only then discovered the source of some of the previous 'Wan Sheng' voices.

For the outside witch doctors and chiefs, the giant trees and tracks in front of them certainly had an indescribable majesty, both in terms of their size and the way they traveled, they were full of incredibleness;

But to be honest, compared to this giant tree, which didn't know what to do, the nearly 2,000 mixed cavalry troops that were almost armed to the teeth actually made them feel more frightened.

'The teeth are completely different from us', this is the unanimous voice of almost all outsiders at this time;

This feeling was felt before, whether it was the garrisons that were 'all about' the Black Forest, or the fleets of ships that ran rampant on the great rivers, or the cavalry charges of the negotiations;

These factors, coupled with all kinds of technologies that are not the same as those of the other ministries, have actually proved this early on.

But that's only 'vaguely'... or forcibly vaguely me;

They can continue to indulge in the illusory thought that 'we can be strong too', and try to catch up with the teeth, which in fact has already thrown them far away.

But today, when the long contradictory card, the steel and wood sword at his waist, the eight heavy throwing spears arranged in a fan-shaped row, and the full-coverage armor on his body, which was almost invisible to the skin, really appeared before their eyes.....

The idea of "not being the same" appeared so directly that it left no room for them to fantasize.

Just as these outsiders were either fascinated or depressed by the sight of the array, Nesta's voice rang out in the ears of all the trolls at the same time.

"My compatriots! Allies from the Black Forest of the East! ”

As Nesta's voice sounded again, the square, which had been a little noisy because of exclamations and admiration, became silent in an instant.

Seeing this, Nesta, who was going to call a few more words to suppress the 'noise', immediately started the next step in the schedule....

"Me! Your dictator Nesta! On behalf of the Expeditionary Force, I declare victory to you once again! ”

"Wan Sheng! Wansheng! ”

The cheers rang out again, and the pedals under Nesta's feet slowly descended in the midst of enthusiastic cheers under the control of the 'people behind the scenes', making his figure gradually clearer in the eyes of the trolls.

After descending about 45 meters and reaching the center of the side trunk of the giant tree, Nesta gently raised her hands and pressed down, stopping the cheers below.

Then he continued to the trolls, who had quieted down again,

"We have defeated the invincible wolves! We have defeated the legendary 'Black Forest Punishment'! ”

"And because of it! From the left bank of the Black River! It is 2,000 kilometers long from east to west and 800 kilometers wide from north to south! From now on, it will be our new paradise! ”

"There! All the land! Forest! Beast! It will all be our property! ”

Most trolls don't really know what Black Forest Punishment is, so they're somewhat at a loss for what this statement is;

At the moment, they just subconsciously cheered because of the numbers behind them.

Of course, Nesta will not be satisfied with this, and the purpose of this time is not only to consolidate his own self-confidence and create a momentum of 'victory', but also to show off his victory to his allies;

Therefore, it is only natural that what is defeated should be fully exposed to all witnesses.....

Therefore, amid the continuous cheers of the trolls, the 'behind-the-scenes workers' followed the pre-set procedure and opened the belly of the giant tree little by little.

So on the side of Nesta, the trunk of the tree slowly opened.....

The walls of the prison are separated from each other like multiple layers of overlapping ribs because of the efforts of the witch doctors all the way, and then like a Rubik's cube, like a Tetris that disappeared at the bottom of the screen, retracting into each other's gaps, expanding the scale of the opening and closing surfaces little by little.

Gradually, gusts of wind emerged from the open cracks in the trunks of the trees, and the strong wind brought up a cloud of sand and gravel on the trolls' bodies and faces, making it almost impossible for them to fully open their eyes.

The trolls' eyes were naturally drawn to the breach, and they craned their necks to see what this great might had come from.

The barrier layer tens of meters thick shrank slightly, and gradually, a touch of cyan hair appeared in the trolls' field of vision;

10 centimeters, 30 centimeters, 1 meter, 5 meters.....

Eventually, when the barrier was layered towards this side of the structure, a terrifying giant wolf appeared;

It was more than eleven meters long and more than six meters high, and the blue and red colors were entangled with each other to emit bursts of light, and the wind howled around it, sweeping the entire square more fiercely than before.

This is naturally the trophy of the witch doctors, the 'real' wolf king who has not recovered from his serious injuries under the cave.

At this moment, its limbs, its long snout, its sharp claws, and all the joints of its body, including all the joints of its body, were tightly bound by vines the thickness of a troll's arm;

These vines were not the kind that were torn by it on the night of the battle, but were new products that had been spawned by its own energy and continuously strengthened by the witch doctors, and I don't know how many iterations it had been;

They are sturdy and resilient, enough to restrain even monsters like Cave Wolves for a short period of time.

Therefore, even if it suddenly awakens at this time, the witch doctors are sure to close the cage barrier again before it can break free, and there is no danger of its escape.

In addition to these vines, another layer of insurance is the vine 'syringes' that surround the cave wolf's body, which grow from the inside of the barrier and point their tips penetrate its epidermis, controlling its physical state with drugs.

At this time, the witch doctors slowly reduced the amount of 'tranquilizer' injection, and the drug that was already maintained at the 'boundary' fell directly below the dose to maintain his sleepiness.

So, stimulated by many 'hostilities', the cave wolf opened its eyes again after a long time.....

Everything before falling asleep seemed to have happened a moment ago, the dark blue eyes of the cave wolf flashed with anger, and after sensing its current situation, it had never experienced such humiliation in its life, and the anger was like a volcano boiling irrepressibly from the depths of the bone marrow.

"Trolls!

! I will make you feel the ultimate fear!

Even if the sun rises and sets a thousand times! I will never forget the humiliation of this moment!

Its mouth was obviously bound by vines, but the terrifying sound still rang out from the spot, as if it had actually swept through the bodies of the trolls, and it was heard far away after causing layers of trembling.

The trolls retreated in unison, for this predator-like might made them involuntarily fearful.

'Higher Creatures'.....

Although there is no clear definition, the word appeared in the minds of all the trolls who witnessed this scene.

"Fellow citizens! We don't need to panic! It's just a prisoner! Victory is ours! ”

Nesta's voice sounded at the right time, a confident sense of firmness that inspired the trolls like a drum on the march.

'Yes, this guy has been defeated by His Excellency the Dictator, and is now just a piece of meat for us to slaughter. “

Realizing this, a far more fervent cheer rang out in the square, and gradually converged into one word...

"Pioneers! Pioneer!

Pioneer!

! ”

~~~~

Unlike the boiling momentum of the trolls, in the forest on the left bank of the Black River, there are two forces looking at each other in different places at this time.

One of them was a pack of wolves that appeared here at this time for some unknown reason.

On the bank of the river, five kilometers away from the Heihe Bridge, 12 wolf kings are 'listening' from afar across the river, and behind them, there is an almost endless 'wolf sea'....

It was really here, and even if it woke up again, it still wouldn't escape. “

One of the wolf kings, at this time, used an unknown non-verbal method to communicate with his companions beside him.

At its feet, the bodies of nearly ten trolls lay horizontally;

Judging from the breath, they had all turned into corpses at this time.

These corpses have one thing in common, that is, they are all depicted with dense lines;

If there is a witch doctor or apprentice who belongs to the tooth here, then you must be able to recognize these totems as 'Windrunner', 'Polarizer', 'Windtalker', and so on.

Obviously, they were all full-time workers who belonged to the Far Ranger troops of the headquarters;

As for the reason for his death here at this time, it is naturally clear at a glance.....

'What now?' Do you want to attack as planned and wipe them out? “

'I think it's time to retreat, Debilius was indeed caught by them, not by escaping as we suspected...."

'Yes, Debilius, though badly wounded by the folks of the volcanoes, is not a man who can be easily captured alive..... This unknown means may trap us in the trap as well. “

I agree, don't forget that they might eventually choose to let the king go... No, put Debilius away. We won't get the slightest benefit then, and it will tear us all apart before it sleeps again..."

'And what about the wolves who have betrayed us!' Do you have to take a detour on the way back? Who is the leader of the Black Forest! “

'Calm down, Celecius.... Anger will only blind you, and what happened to Debilius at his peak doesn't wake you up? Do you have to go headlong into the enemy's lair when the situation is unknown? “

‘.... Understood, it was me who lost my temper...."

'Well, these corpses are useless, let the wolves eat them, don't leave even a trace.... I hate to admit it, but since then, it seems that it is our turn to hibernat. “

'Understood..."

'Yes..."

'Let's go, detour the southern coastline, spoil the residual scent, and don't let the traitors smell ours. “

'By the way, Yubelus and Lukia, you two are staying halfway, right?' Wait for a while before turning back for an official visit...... If you can, put on their means of capturing Debilius. “

The owner of this 'voice' is an old wolf, who seems to have a certain prestige even among the wolf kings, and can negotiate and arrange some things.

"Then what about our territory, the mountain range monsters have not been stable recently, once we don't return for so long..."

And the one who answered the old wolf was one of the two wolf kings who went to 'meet' with Fangs at the beginning.

'Rest assured, we will expand the scope of our patrols to include your territory for the time being. “

'Yes.... Lukia, what about you? “

'I listen to you. “

As the first twelve wolf kings had finished their deliberations, the wolves wrenched the corpses of the trolls, and then devoured all the flesh and indigestible bones.

Then, after the lord wolves wiped away the smell left in place, the wolves dived into the river under the leadership of the wolf kings and swam south.

In this trip, they have to land again with the south before reaching the sphere of influence of the sea's waters, and then return to their nests along the coastline.

~~~~~

Farther to the north, a black blade-toothed beast was also probing its teeth from a distance.

This black blade-toothed beast is more than half a step in the meditation compared to its 'cousin' blade-toothed beast in the Black Forest;

Although its size is still not as large as that of the wolf kings of the wolf pack, it seems to be a little larger than the lord wolf;

But because of its special body structure, it has almost become a powerful creature in a vast area, second only to the wolf king, and is the main force of the demonic beasts in the mountains against the wolves.

Unfortunately, the black blade-toothed beasts are used to being alone, and rarely appear in groups;

As a result, they can't really pose a threat to the Wolf King, or even to the elite ranks of Lordlord Wolves.

And due to their eating habits, personality, etc., the black blade-toothed beasts are actually not too popular with the mountain monsters, and in terms of 'reputation', they are not much better than the wolves that are overflowing in the population.

At this moment, the black blade-toothed beast that had carefully bypassed the strange 'naturalized' wolves and evaded the Far Wanderer troops was moving from north to south along the Black River near the territory of the Fang.

As it approached the Black River Bridge, its ears were sensitive to hear the cheers of the other side;

The black blade-toothed beast stopped, craned its neck, and looked at the other side in the distance, and in addition to the sparkling firelight, it was a huge thing whose outline could be faintly seen even from so far away.

'What is this?' “

Just as it was wondering, a terrifying wave of information sent ripples through the river, coming straight to its face.

"Meow?! Meow meow!

! ”

The black bladetooth leaped backwards in fright, a series of panicked sounds that didn't quite match its size.

Debilius' voice seemed to have some kind of 'know-it-all' effect, and the big cat, after a brief moment of panic, immediately understood the goddamn thing's situation.

It cautiously looked left and right, and realized that its earlier panic did not seem to be seen by any 'thinking' creature?

It was only after this that it was relieved.....

I saw that the big cat gradually regained his composure.... If you ignore its still trembling limbs, that's true....

In short, after thinking that he had regained his composure, the big cat once again took four long legs and gradually approached the Heihe Bridge in the direction he had traveled before.

Its target was the teeth, and although it could swim across the river to reach its destination, the black blade-toothed beast was ready to go a little further and see what the strange thing in the distance was.
