26. Attacked

Barbaros, Northern Mountains, a new stronghold on the front.

Right now.

.

A thick mist slowly spread over the turbid black soil of Barbaros with the glimmer of the morning, and the intermittent cries of cloudy eagles could be heard in the distance.

The poisonous gas outside the small stronghold was noticeably thicker than inside the stronghold, and the yellowish mist was rolling uncontrollably, causing the fog to roll as soon as the creatures that entered it moved.

Herrella stood at the entrance of the stronghold, with a musket in her hand, a musket on her shoulder, a dagger strapped to her waist, and a bulging pouch full of bullets.

She wears a full-face gas mask that covers her entire face, and her brown eyes are looking through the glass at her other two teammates.

Kuza and Tiller were checking their gear, and like Herrela, they were wearing full-face gas masks and were fully armed, each holding a scythe and two daggers strapped to their waists.

"That's it. It's time to go. ”

Sister Lisi, who came to see her off, nodded, and she had a dark green forehead soaking in herbs tied to her forehead.

"Listen, guys, your goal is to send this map with specific enemy ambushes and enemy supply points to the front command in the rear."

"In order not to startle the snake, we can't send a large force to transport this document, at present, our stronghold is at the forefront of the junction between the human territory and the alien territory, so if a large force is dispatched, it will be exposed, and it is easy to encounter an ambush on the way."

"To be on the safe side, we will send three teams to different frontline positions to deliver this document along different routes."

"And you're on the third team."

"But that doesn't mean you can relax, in fact, we're facing a more powerful and cunning leader than we've ever encountered before."

"Be sure to get the papers! Do you understand?! ”

"Got it!"

The three of them stood up and saluted, and shouted in unison,

Sister Lisi took a step back and looked at the three of Herella,

"Okay, you're all the best melee fighters and shooters in our stronghold, and I'm sure you'll be able to complete this mission."

The eldest sister saluted the three warriors with her head, and the gate tied with sturdy logs slowly opened.

So they hit the road.

.

.

.

The repetitive scenery kept passing by, and the poisonous mist of muddy yellow rolled as if there was no end to it, and there were no signs on the road to make out the direction except for the scythe signs left by the Death Guards before.

They were on a hurried march, with Kuza scouting the front, Herrella walking in the middle, and Tille on the lookout for enemies from behind.

The information was sitting safely in Herrela's arms.

.

However, calamity began to fall from heaven.

The shrill voice broke through the air, and the roaring blood-red fireball tumbled, tearing through the yellow mist!!

It's a fireball!

"Dodge !!"

The three of them accelerated frantically, trying to run out of range of the attack—

However, after this fireball-

.

.

.

—Hundreds of fireballs roared—

.

.

.

The roar erupted, the destruction came, and all living beings were extinct.

Herella woke up with a burst of tinnitus.

She staggered to her feet and pushed away the two charred corpses that had pounced on her.

Yes, after realizing that there was no escape, Kuza and Tille immediately pounced on Herella.

There is no other reason, Herella has that information.

Regardless of any of the three carrying this information, the final outcome is this one.

It was the other two who sacrificed themselves to protect the one who held the information.

The tinnitus continues, there is no effort to grieve, she has been exposed, and Herella must be transferred immediately.

The gas mask had been shattered, and the dim poison gas could not stop pouring in, and Herrela hastily wrapped a bandage around the mask, barely able to let the poison gas pour in slowly.

There was a stabbing pain in her left calf, and Herella lowered her head, her white bone snapping, piercing through the skin and piercing the flesh.

The blood was gushing unstoppable.

Herella gritted her teeth and quickly stopped the bleeding, then she used her dagger to cut off the rod of her scythe and take out the bandage.

Herrela held the other end of her calf with one hand and the part of her calf near her knee with the other.

"Click!"

The fractured lower leg is restored in a strange manner.

Shhh

Herella cursed a rare swearing.

She then held the scythe shaft close to her calf and tied it tightly with a bandage to immobilize the broken calf.

The tinnitus subsided somewhat, Herrela's lungs couldn't stop tingling, and the pain in her broken calf irritated Herella, and she was nearly unconscious.

No, she has to send the information!

One musket broke, and Herrella threw away the broken one, picked up the other, and loaded it.

Without a moment's hesitation, Herrella limped and began to continue on her way.

I'm sorry, my comrade-in-arms, I will definitely send this information.

You will not die in vain.

Drops of blood slid down the wound on his calf, dragging a dotted path on the ground.

Herella was starting to get dizzy, but thankfully, she had been dizzy before, so she could handle the situation.

.

.

.

There was a faint barking in the fog.

Is it a pus-filled hound?!

There was a tall dead tree in front of the wasteland, and Herella did not hesitate to quickly drag her broken leg to the top of the tree.

The bark barbs in the tree had once again pierced the wound in Herella's leg, but now she didn't care.

Herrella held her gun and pointed into the distance.

Based on the barking sounds, Herella estimated the number of hounds in the group to be around six to seven.

Herrela's breathing slowed down, which allowed the gas to enter her lungs a little more slowly—

When that little black dot first appeared in the cloudy yellow mist—

"Bang!"

"Bang! Bang! ”

Gunshots rang out!

The first bullet passed through the tip of the hapless man's nose and into the man's head, followed by two shots, one in the right eye of the hound, and one in the front leg that was galloping.

The hound, which was running wildly at high speed, fell in an instant, whimpering and rolling on the ground, splashing countless dust.

The pustule hounds that followed were startled, and the two hounds in front even tripped over the fallen hound's carcass.

Pull the trigger again.

"Bang! Bang! ”

The pustule hound fell to the ground and dealt with two.

Wrong in judgment, Herella pursed her chapped lips, brushed the broken hair from her ears, and smiled.

On the other side, it is estimated that the person who is alive under the bombardment is probably a strong melee fighter, so he sent a bloodhound known for melee entanglement.

These pustule hounds, when they are outnumbered by their counterparts, are indeed extremely difficult enemies.

If you are not careful, you will die.

However, the other party did not expect that it was a shooter who looked weak and could not withstand the bombardment at all to survive.

That's why humanity will prevail in the end.

You selfish, brain-hungry aliens!

You will never understand these human spirits!!

There were four more, and after realizing that there was a shooter on the other side, the hounds began to change their trajectory, moving forward in a dizzying group of zigzags.

With a bit of luck, Herrella can shoot them before they get into range.

If you're unlucky, there's a good chance that one or two of them will be able to attack Herrela.

Bless me, Hades.

I want to live, I want to deliver this information, I want to see you alive again.

I want to make it until the day when peace comes.

Bless me.

Hades.

Bless me.

The people of Barbaros.
