Although the "Heavy Brigade sounded like a brigade of 100 men", it actually had close to 200 men, and it was currently directly under the command of Delai.

Why is it overstaffed? This is because among the [Rune Blades] sent from the laboratory, there are a total of 180 [Sharp] knives, which determines the final number of the team.

There are also thirty swords of the [High Temperature Type], but according to Ryan's positioning, this is not a conventional weapon, so Delai did not put them on a separate list, just change the weapon when using it.

Then why call it the "Heavy Brigade", because Ryan intends to equip them with a full set of enhanced plate armor instead of a castrated version of the cuirass, and weapons such as battle axes, war hammers, and crossbows are also standard.

Such a luxurious configuration, called a "heavy brigade" has nothing to contradict it, and looking at the entire continent, there are few more luxurious than this.

It's just that at present, the arsenal only produces cuirasses, so the rest still depends on craftsmen to forge them, so the efficiency is a little slow, and it can't be fully equipped yet.

But it is only a matter of time before the formation of combat effectiveness is formed, and such a force is where Ryan's confidence lies in the future against the Extraordinary Legion.

It's a pity that due to material limitations, runic weapons can't be assembled for the entire army, otherwise Ryan would really be able to walk sideways in this area.

Since the number is scarce, it is destined that such a force cannot play its due role on the frontal battlefield, so Lane decided to make them a "special role" force.

They basically have nothing to do with the special forces in Ryan's previous life, and what they want to do is what other forces can't do.

For example, in dealing with "Warcraft", "Transcendentals", and "Cultists...... When there is a type of enemy, ordinary armies just fill it with their lives, and use their numbers to consume them to death.

This is a helpless move, and without enough extraordinary power as a countermeasure, it can only take such a cruel way.

Before the establishment of this unit, in order to protect the production and material transportation of the "cement manufacturing plant" on the periphery of the Warcraft Mountain Range, hundreds of people had been killed in battle, and the reason for this result was that ordinary soldiers lacked the means and ability to cause damage to Warcraft.

Although [Crystal Bomb] and [Thousand Machine Repeater] are easy to use, first, the manufacturing cost is high, and second, they lack the ability to fight head-on.

In the encounter, it is basically that the arrow has not been fired for two rounds, and the monster has already protruded its face, just because the soldiers in the front row can't stop the savage collision of the monster at all, and once it is close, it will be a heavy loss.

This is what Ryan can't bear, the "cement manufacturing plant" was originally a source of wealth opened up by Ryan, and it was a blood transfusion for the territory, but now it has become a bleeding wound, and he has been bleeding the territory and buried many excellent soldiers in that barren land.

So before forming this army, Ryan personally went to Liman and asked him to transform the existing plate armor with rune technology.

Turning plate armor into a true reloaded armor allows soldiers to have more powerful protection against monsters and reduce casualties in encounters......

—————

In the sparse mountain forest, a group of men and horses were marching cautiously, they numbered about two hundred, dressed in a full set of dark plate armor and dark cloaks, the style was not new, but the patterns on the breastplate were more complicated, and they were connected with each other.

However, on their chests, there was a slightly protruding part, about the size of a palm, showing a slight silver-white color, with the emblem of the sword and shield engraved on it and a string of tiny numbers.

This small unit is Ryan's latest "Heavy Brigade", and compared to the other units, each of them has an internal code, which is the number on the chest.

The daily training tasks they are currently performing, yes, their training location is not in the school field, but in the extremely dangerous Demon Beast Mountain Range, although it is only the periphery, it is also prohibitive for countless people.

The reason why I came up to train at this intensity was really not that the commander was overconfident.

It is because each of them is an elite selected from a field battalion like the first and second battalions, and the daily training subjects have long been pinched, and there will be no obvious improvement if they continue.

And in view of the strength of the weapons and equipment, Delai boldly formulated the actual combat training subjects, and this time the training will last for a month, and the "Heavy Brigade" is stationed at the foot of the Warcraft Mountains.

They enter the camp every morning and return to the camp in the evening, sometimes empty-handed, but more often with a full harvest.

It turned out that these equipment were not a problem at all against demonic beasts below the third level, and it was not a problem at all to travel with armor, even in the mountains and forests.

This is the magic of rune technology, the plate armor on their bodies is engraved with many runes, among which the [Light Rune] is everywhere, and the plate armor that originally weighed more than forty pounds has been reduced to less than twenty pounds.

The joints have also undergone special treatments, although the protection is somewhat reduced, but the impact on the joint's range of motion is minimized, and there are many improvements, which allow them to wear a full set of plate armor to shuttle through the rugged mountain forest.

The source of their energy is the part that protrudes from their chests, and inside is a magic crystal set similar to a battery pack, five magic crystals are enough to maintain their energy supply for about thirty hours.

This is still because of the [Light Rune], a large energy consumer, if all of them are cut, the energy supply time can be extended by more than two times.

This time, Ryan has made a lot of money, such a team has occupied more than a battalion of magic crystals, if it can't achieve the desired effect, it will really be a blood loss.

Fortunately, their performance has been very impressive since the beginning of the training, and there have been no deaths after more than a dozen encounters, that is, there are more than two dozen unlucky people who have been injured.

Today is the fifteenth day of training, and more than half of the time, these fighters also have a deep understanding of the land under their feet, and any slightest clue will arouse their alarm.

The leader suddenly crouched down and raised his right fist to signal the team to stop, he lifted the visor of his helmet, picked up a branch on the ground and pulled the dark object in front of him.

Peter frowned slightly, this is a relatively fresh piece of demonic beast feces, very large, judging from his previous hunter's experience, it may only be a few hours away from excretion, which means that there is very likely to be a huge demonic beast nearby, and it is necessary to be vigilant.

He pulled down the visor of his helmet, signaled the team behind him to be vigilant, and began to slowly search along the trampled path.

At the beginning, they would be more panicked when they found out about the traces of the monster, after all, they had never fought against such an enemy before.

But the equipment on their bodies allowed them to defeat the monsters again and again, and these achievements gradually weakened the fear in their hearts.

Until now, when they find traces of Warcraft, they will not only not bypass them, but will take the initiative to look for traces of Warcraft along the traces.

The reason is very simple, Ryan personally promised that all the materials they brought back after killing the monster in the battle belonged to them, and if they wanted to sell the territory, they would buy all of them at the market price, there was no problem of unsalable, and they would also calculate military merits.

This leads to the fact that they are now seeing that the eyes of the demonic beasts are shining, it is all money and military merits, isn't this what they are trying to do when they are soldiers?

The team is a group of ten people, showing a scattered battle formation slowly advancing, seemingly disorganized, but in fact closely connected, no matter where they find the enemy, they can hold together as quickly as possible, forming the strongest defensive formation.

"Sasa"

There was a strange sound in the grass not far away, and two soldiers with crossbows in the nearest group raised their hands to see two arrows, and there was a dull sound that a creature had been hit by an arrow.

Under the command of the group leader, their group cautiously approached, and the nearby group also approached them closely, beware of unexpected situations.

A soldier took out the [Rune War Knife] and gently pushed through the bushes, finding an animal similar to a porcupine lying in a pool of blood and convulsing, the two arrows just now hit one in the waist and one in the neck.

"It's a beast." After reading it, the soldier said with some disappointment, the beast did not have a beast core in its body, so it was of little use to him.

He stepped forward and pulled out the arrow, and when he was about to return to the team, he heard a "bang", and the ground not far behind him exploded, and he subconsciously threw himself forward.

At the moment he fell to the ground, the group leader and the captain shouted in unison: "Arrows, arrows!" ”

"Whoosh"

The soldier with the crossbow fired the arrows in his hands, but it was clear that the arrows did not work, and he heard only a series of sounds similar to the striking of steel.

He subconsciously looked back, and suddenly his soul was overwhelmed, only to see that less than twenty meters away from him, in the thick smoke and dust, a thick behemoth loomed.

The arrows they shot landed on each other, and they faintly brought strings of sparks, which showed that the other party must have a very strong shell or scale armor, and conventional weapons had no effect on it.

Sure enough, after a wave of temptation, Captain Peter immediately adjusted his strategy, and with a loud shout, two soldiers holding [Thousand Machine Crossbows] came out of the crowd, their fingers moved slightly, and two rune arrows as fast as meteors rushed straight into the demonic beast in the smoke and dust.

"Boom-"

A series of explosions came, and the waves of air set off made the soldiers on the ground unconsciously squint their eyes.

Before he could open his eyes, he felt two hands grasping his armpits, dragging him to move with all his might, and he knew that the team leader had sent someone to answer him.

With a little peace of mind, he opened his eyes and looked at the demonic beast behind him, and the explosion of the rune arrow dispersed the smoke and dust, revealing the true face of the demonic beast.

It was a huge "worm", about a meter in diameter, rising several meters high, covered in metal-like carapaces, and the exposed parts were several meters long, and I don't know how many there were under the soil.

At the tip of its body is a huge mouth with thick fangs in a spiral shape, which is dense and creepy at first glance.

The worm was writhing its body vigorously at the moment, looking very angry and manic, just because in the upper part of its body, it was blasted out of two huge blood holes by rune arrows at this moment, and dark green blood was constantly flowing.

Peter was secretly frightened, the power of the [Thousand Machine Crossbow] is undoubted, at such a close distance, two arrows are all hit, even a high-level knight has to sing Liangliang, but he didn't expect that it seems to have caused some slight injuries to this worm.

"At least a fourth-level demonic beast, immediately form a formation, and all the [Thousand Machine Crossbows] concentrate their mouthparts to attack!"

Peter shouted, and all the groups began to assemble rapidly, forming two tight formations like horns, one on the left and one on the right.

At the same time, the only four [Thousand Machine Crossbows] and two [Thousand Machine Repeaters] in the whole team aimed at the worm's huge head and pulled the trigger together.

One after another, the streamers rushed straight towards the worms, and everyone was extremely nervous in their hearts, because this was the first time they had faced a fourth-level demonic beast, and no one knew what the outcome of this battle would be.

After all, the worm is a fourth-level magical beast that is benchmarked against high-level knights, and it is also a very strong kind, with a lot of wisdom, where can it be a live target if it eats the loss of the [Thousand Machine Crossbow].

I saw an earthy yellow film of light appear in front of it, blocking most of the arrows, but there was still an arrow that hit the torso, very close to the head, and exploded a large blood hole.

But this didn't seem to have any effect on it, and the worm's huge body suddenly began to act, only to see its body form an arc and rush to the ground in front of it, under its powerful mouthparts, the stone instantly turned into powder, and its body suddenly sank into the ground.

Peter was shocked, felt the shaking of the ground, and he roared, "Disperse! ”

They were all elite soldiers, and as soon as his order came out, the military formation on the left immediately dispersed as fast as possible, and then the worm instantly drilled out from the center of the military formation.

An unlucky egg instantly submerged into its mouth, and even the hard plate armor could not resist those dense teeth, and it was swallowed in an instant, without even screaming.

Peter's eyes were split, and he shouted, "Now is the time, besiege and kill!" ”

The surrounding soldiers immediately rushed forward with the [Rune War Knife] in hand, with the blessing of the runes, each knife could leave a wound on the worm's body.

The [High Temperature Type] knives are even more terrifying, each knife carries a terrifying high temperature, cutting out scorched black wounds.

The worm was in pain, and its huge body swept away, and more than a dozen soldiers were swept out in an instant, but the defense of the plate armor blessed with runes was amazing, and they rolled on the ground a few times and quickly stood up again.

Under the frantic siege of nearly two hundred people, even the fourth-level demonic beast gradually couldn't support it, and a yellow light appeared on its body, and the soldiers closest to it were immediately bounced out.

"It's going to run away." Peter was keenly aware of its movements.

He immediately ordered everyone to intercept them, but the worm, which was bent on escaping, burrowed into the ground and fled despite the attack on its body.

Peter immediately ordered a pursuit...... (End of chapter)
