……

Existential moments.

Horns didn't lag for a minute, his body quickly deflated, and years of training had taken his fighting instincts to the limit.

The second I realized I was being attacked.

He opened the door to the Shadow Realm!

Forced Escape!

When the gentle shadow world accepted him like a mother's embrace, Horns's great pain finally dissipated, and after being immune to the pain with the power of the shadows, he quickly planned a retreat.

First of all.

A forced Shadow Pulse is required.

Although this move has the potential to cause more damage to the already torn body.

But this is the only way to escape.

With this pulse, he must reach the next point where the Shadow Realm meets the Main Material Realm.

Then, with strong will and tenacity, he quickly left the battlefield to save his life.

In the years of assassination.

There aren't many similar images happening, but it's not unique.

Horns remembers that when he was younger, he was chased several times, with no way to go to heaven and no way to go to the ground.

At that time, he also felt that he was on the verge of death.

But in the end, he didn't.

Every time.

He escaped with his strong will to survive and skillful escape skills.

And this time.

He believed it would be the same.

In the flash of light, such a thought flashed through his mind, a strong will to survive drove him to make his body become rickety, and his brain was spinning wildly.

Power from the Shadow Realm is pouring in from all directions.

A whirlpool phenomenon was formed in his heart.

Strength is accumulated.

It looked like he was about to successfully unleash a Shadow Pulse.

But at this time.

In the darkness of the world, a pale and gruff figure forced its way in.

That moment.

Horns' eyes widened.

He couldn't believe that the enemy could pinpoint the Shadow Node where he was hiding!

between the electric light and flint.

A rough hand bone clutched at his neck.

"Come out of here!"

By the time Horns heard this, he had been pulled out of the shadow world.

Meanwhile.

A huge bone blade slashed at his jaw, slicing off two-thirds of his head and half of his shoulder.

"Why is this cow ......?"

This was Horns' last thought in this world.

Syllable!

The body of the Drow Assassin fell to the ground, knocking over a kitchen shelf.

The sound of clattering plates falling to the ground was endless.

The soldiers in the vicinity were finally alarmed.

More than ten seconds later.

A fair-skinned but thin soldier rushed in first, dressed in clearly ill-fitting armor and a comically large hat with rather agile eyes under the brim.

"What happened? Big Sister Peggy?! ”

The boy asked nervously.

Peggy replied with half of the corpse in her hand:

"It's okay, caught a sneaky guy."

The boy was shocked:

"Wow, is this an assassin?"

"How did they turn all their skin black in order to escape into the darkness?"

Peggy stared at the corpse in her hand and muttered:

"Is there a possibility—this is a drow?"

The look of surprise in the young man's eyes became even stronger:

"Is this Drow? It turns out that there are really guys who are born to be black! ”

He looked at Peggy with adoration in his eyes:

"Sister Peggy, you know so much!"

Peggy smiled.

She also likes the clever boy named Domi in front of her.

Domi is the youngest of the people in Rolling Stone.

He would have been a member of the reserves.

Because he heard that he had money to participate in the battle, he sharpened his head and wanted to participate in the war.

The military officer had repeatedly refused Domi's request to join the war.

However, Domi recommended himself through various channels.

In the end, he got an opportunity to join the logistics force as a reserve.

The nominal commander of the logistics unit was an old man in the garrison.

But Domi has been following Peggy's alternative logistic team since the first day of the battle.

It's a bit of a small tail.

This makes it hard for Peggy not to like him.

"Sister Peggy, there's a war going on over there, do you think there will be more assassins mixed in?"

Domi asked.

Peggy nodded:

"Go and inform Aaron (the head of logistics) and ask him to inform Zeller and the commander of the cavalry respectively."

"I'll check it out for myself at the camp."

Domi asked enthusiastically:

"I'll go inform them!"

"But is there anything I can do to help you with the search for other Assassins?"

Peggy thought for a moment:

"Yes."

"You go and change the two real gems at the camp gate."

Domi suddenly realized:

"Is it because the Truth Gem wasn't placed in the right place, so the assassins were allowed to get in?"

"You want me to reposition now in order to force a potential Assassin to be exposed?"

However, Peggy shook her head:

"No, it's not."

"It's my natural instinct to be hidden, and I don't need to rely on other forces."

"Those two gems are so dazzling, they make my soul hurt, you move him, it's better to move it in the corner, don't get in the way of me."

Domi suddenly showed a dumbfounded expression.

Good half a day.

He scratched his head and did so.

Meanwhile.

On the slopes of the mountains in the southwest.

The infantry of Rolling Stones and the army of Gao Ye Ling, who attacked at night, were close to each other.

Brad, who was born with divine powers, led the team to carry it ahead.

After the army of the undead shrank to the north, he was responsible for taking over the task of resisting the line at the foot of the mountain.

More than a dozen garrison members cooperated.

Quickly take out the orc team that rushed to the front.

Soon.

They are entangled with a new contingent of human infantry.

However, in general, the intensity of the war was not very high.

Except for the orc squad that was killed.

The enemy is mighty though.

However, the squads were very scattered among themselves, and the battle line was stretched very long, giving people the feeling of an all-out attack, but it was not as ferocious and powerful as imagined.

When the infantry is engaged.

Matthew rode a flying horse across the sky, observing the battle below, and also paying attention to the movements of the black dragon.

He found that the human troops under the high leaf collar had indeed moved, not only were almost all the troops dispatched, but there were archers behind them who had been carrying out projectile cover.

Previously in the contact in the 1st round.

Matthew's undead died a lot, just because they were caught off guard.

The good thing is that it is now under Matthew's control.

The undead have regained their hold on to the northern mountainsides and riverbanks.

The Undead Army and Bryde's garrison formed a defensive line that was so strong so far.

Matthew also tried to order the undead to take the initiative.

But the effect is mediocre.

The main thing is that his concentration is really difficult to micro-manipulate the undead squad.

And they lack intelligence, and they can easily suffer when they come into contact with the enemy at the tactical level.

Matthew quickly realized -

With the blessing of a spell that lacks the level of the Undead Scourge.

A mere army of the undead is not really suitable for attacking.

But it's good for defense.

Therefore, he did not pursue more, but chose to continue to fight steadily, allowing the zombies to jam the flanks of the garrison to ensure the safety of Brad and the others.

Time.

The shouting was evident at the foot of the mountain to the west.

But soon.

Matthew realized that the intensity of the battle was not as high as he had imagined.

The attacking enemy forces did not seem to have any intention of moving on.

Some enemy squads even retreated a large part immediately after encountering a strong resistance.

There is no mud and water in the slightest.

This feeling is very inexplicable.

Either the enemy doesn't plan to attack the mountain head-on, or the other party is playing an anti-psychological game.

In this way, Matthew developed a great curiosity about the train of thought of the enemy's commander-in-chief, Drava.

However, as the main general, Rhaegar is very calm.

He kept using his loud voice to order the crowd not to pursue, but to hold on.

As a result, the battle has changed from a raid at the beginning to a stalemate more often, with only the occasional battle on a fierce front, but once there are casualties, the enemy will quickly retreat!

I played like this for about half an hour.

There was a faint glow in the sky.

The hour is approaching dawn.

However, at this time, Matthew noticed that the dense fog near the mossy hills was at its maximum!

Visibility near the battlefield was reduced to less than three meters.

If it weren't for Rhaegar's extremely loud voice, it would be accurate for everyone to hear even in the midst of countless noises.

I am afraid that this fog alone will be a great obstacle to the issuance of the designation.

To be on the safe side.

Rolling Stone's side decided to shrink their defenses.

But at this time.

Brad and the others also found that the enemy began to retreat quickly!

Accompany this process.

The wind seems to have changed.

The fog that hung over the enemy's heads suddenly began to subside.

The situation of the army in front of Gao Yeling was seen at a glance!

They look like there are only about 300 of them!

There are no more reinforcements.

"The enemy seems to have a problem!"

"Their main forces did not appear!"

"It's still harassment this time, it's just a more decent feint!"

"If we are bold, we can eat all this feint army!"

Brad slashed down an enemy with great force, then rushed up the hill.

He approached Rhaegar and asked if he wanted to pursue him.

Rhaegar looked up at the sky.

Matthew's faint voice came from the foggy sky:

"Don't worry, you go down and gather troops first."

"You can chase it a little, but don't cross that little river!"

Between words.

He took out a fog-opening scroll from his bosom and tore it open.

Thick patterns of magical light rippled like water waves.

Suddenly.

With Matthew as the center, the fog dissipates for several miles!

He was condescending and saw it clearly.

I found that in the hills and dense forests in the northwest, there were no other soldiers with high leaf collars!

As the elite orcs and bear goblins, they didn't appear at all.

This seems to be about the same as Brad's judgment.

Above the mountainside.

Rhaegar also saw through the light of the morning light the enemy retreating in disarray.

There was a strange look on his face.

But still no order was given for a pursuit.

Matthew's gaze wandered between the jungle and the shallows.

Not much.

Brad had already led the men to chase them to the river.

He had cut down several enemies tonight, and was in a state of killing Red Eye, and he almost couldn't help but rush over.

Matthew landed on the river just in time.

He saw the human soldiers hastily retreat into the forest.

His gaze swept over the dense woods.

After an instant.

Matthew suddenly asked loudly into the jungle:

"Is there an army in ambush among you?"

Ability: Ask Nature!

The woods were silent.

Brad said excitedly:

"See? There is no ambush, let me lead the team to rush once! ”

"As long as we kill them, we will be much more sure that we will win this war......"

However, he was not finished speaking.

There were a series of complaints in the forest:

"Yes, yes!"

"There are a lot of orcs in ambush in the forest to the east, they stink of!"

"There are more than 30 bear goblins hidden in the stone pit to the west, and they are too fat!"

Everyone in the garrison was taken aback when they heard this.

They polished their eyes and looked hard, but the forest was empty and uninhabited.

With a long laugh, he mounted his pegasus and began to throw flour down in the woods.

With the sprinkling of flour falling.

The two troops lurking in the shadows through the group stealth technique are instantly exposed!

It was the two elite troops of Gao Yeling!

From the rough display of the flour, it is not difficult to see that the Gao Ye collar infantry retreated from the sandwich between the two armies.

In case Brad leads the charge.

A pinching blow on both sides will surely collapse!

He himself could even be dead!

See this scene.

Brad suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

He subconsciously scratched his beard, not knowing what to say.

"Shall we retreat?"

Brad looked at Matthew returning from the sky with some embarrassment.

Matthew still shook his head.

He looked back at the hillside.

At this moment, in Rhaegar's hand, a dark red magic banner rose into the sky!

That's an all-out charge!

"Let's go!"

"I'll cooperate with you!"

Matthew patted Brad on the shoulder, and he rode onto the back of the ghost bone dragon Xiao Boil.

Surrounded by countless immortals.

Philorius led the three-headed bone dragon to fly over the dense forest first!

Long Wei!

One swoops down.

Although the dragon power of the bone dragon is small, it also makes the orcs and bear goblins who have just been seen through the invisibility and are a little hesitant to retreat.

Their bodies are visibly stiff.

That moment.

Xiao Boiling cut straight into a flanked orc force, his tail and claws attacking these sturdy aliens with impunity.

Matthew was not idle either.

The Pale Hand is firing on fire, and begins to try to harvest life.

The resilience of the orcs is not low.

Soon they recovered from their stupor.

But at this time, Xiao Boiling rose into the sky again after attracting the attention of most of the enemy troops.

This time.

But he didn't dare to swoop down no matter what.

But this one comes and goes.

Bought time for Brad's infantry and the undead to get closer.

The forest itself is not large, only a small patch.

And with the rapid influx of the undead, it is clear that the frontal battlefield will become very crowded.

That's when it happened.

A sharp whistling sound was heard from the depths of the enemy army.

That moment.

All enemies under the command began to retreat quickly!

This time they were really retreating.

Because they evacuated several times faster than before!

Matthew spotted a yellow glow in them.

Obviously.

That's what the strategic spell: Retreat does!

The enemy withdrew from the dense forest as quickly as possible.

Matthew didn't see the dragon priest Delaware, but the other party's micro-manipulation of the troops was an eye-opener for him.

In just a few minutes.

All three forces withdrew from the dense forest.

Orcs and bear goblins cover each other and are the first to flee the danger zone.

The human forces that had previously been used as decoys were not so lucky.

Some of them became entangled with Brad's infantry.

The rest of them had just escaped from the jungle, but they heard the sound of horses' hooves!

But see the jungle to the north.

Two columns of cavalry quickly rounded the lush vegetation and charged at them along the sides of the valley!

In the midst of enemy formations.

The screams that symbolized the retreat became stronger and stronger.

But when the spear of the first cavalryman pierced the defeated infantry with three high collars in succession.

A massacre was inevitable.

Not to mention that when the cavalry arrived, the Ouroboros was chasing after Matthew riding a ghost bone dragon!

Blood and negative energy.

It quickly soaked the ground inside and outside the dense forest.

……

The chase lasted until seven o'clock in the morning.

Rolling Stone's first battle is won.

With one person not killed, three seriously wounded, and seventeen lightly wounded, about 130 enemy soldiers were killed, most of them were human infantry with a high leaf collar, a small number of half-orcs and a bear goblin who walked the slowest way.

There were three captives.

In fact.

Brad and the others have already killed the red-eyed, and the enemy troops who are fleeing have no chance of surviving at all.

Instead, the three guys lay down on the river beach, first pretending that the dead had deceived the pursuers, and then surrendering with their hands raised while everyone in Rolling Rock Town was cleaning up the mess, which saved their lives.

At noon.

The interrogation of the three captives is nearing completion.

And the windfall from Peggy's side was handed over.

"It's the 'Wood Lizard's Kiss', a very strange poison that is not toxic in itself, and can only cause mild diarrhea when taken by humans."

"But the poison can remain dormant in the human body for up to a week, during which time the smell of a particular pollen can cause stiffness in the limbs, which can last for at least a few hours."

"In the course of our fight with the enemy, we found that the dragon priest seems to have the ability to manipulate the mist, so it shouldn't be too difficult for him to manipulate the air current, and this operation can also be done by sending pollen into the air flow."

Matthew said solemnly:

"At the moment, Drava's raid had at least two purposes."

"The first is from the frontal battlefield, he used group stealth and fog to create a double obstacle, trying to use it to trap our troops, but fortunately we were careful enough to avoid the disaster."

"And the second should be the poisoning of the Drow assassins."

"We're lucky, they shouldn't have succeeded."

Zeller nodded:

"I will step up toxin testing in food and water."

"During the interrogation just now, the three captives claimed in unison that they had joined the Five Dragons Alliance, and that they were descended from the Five Dragons."

"We also found identical talismans on the fallen soldiers, which seemed to be a token of their identity."

"The black dragon hasn't appeared for a long time, do you think it will have something to do with these talismans?"

The three of them looked at each other.

Matthew's direct belief is that these talismans are related to the disappearance of the black dragon, but there is no more information now, and he can only wait and see.

However, the black dragon didn't make them wait long.

It was close to noon.

Lorraine suddenly found them:

"One good news, one bad news."

"The good news is that my grapevine has found traces of the dragon."

"The bad news is that there are five dragons."

Between words.

He waved his right hand, and a golden light poured into the foreheads of Matthew and the others.

Suddenly.

They shared the information that Lorain had captured!

……

"Hint: Your companion Loren shared a gossip with you—

The black dragon Meonogas activated the "Dragon Blood Contract" in the Five Dragons Alliance on the grounds that a large number of descendants of the Five Dragons were killed!

The remaining four dragons in the Five Dragons Alliance have lent a portion of their power to the black dragon Meonogas!

Mayonogas has acquired the "Power of the Five Dragons" and he is now even more powerful (LV20)!

Furthermore.

With the power of the five dragons, he summoned four dragons from the second plane, namely the Young White Dragon, the Young Green Dragon, the Young Red Dragon, and the Young Blue Dragon!

They're going to be followers of Mayonogas!"

……

I'm sorry, something did happen at home, I don't want to pass on negative energy to everyone, so I didn't say the detailed reason, anyway, I will adjust well, and try to recover more tomorrow!
