Chapter 7: The Captive
"Look, sir. A soldier in green armor pointed ahead in the mist-shrouded front.
Dick looked in the direction of his finger and saw a shadow looming out of the fog, as if something was hiding behind it. Then the shadows grew thicker and larger. Suddenly, a monster shaped like a demon broke through the fog and pounced on everyone with a roar.
The monster's head was terrifying, with long sharp teeth sticking out of its lips, eyes full of bloodthirsty light, and two curved horns on its forehead. His skin was dark blue and almost black, and a pair of huge wings grew behind his back, whirring and flapping, blowing away the fog around him.
"Yakshas!" exclaimed Dick. After he came to Xingyuan City, he bought a large number of books to read, so as to understand the common knowledge of the hell plane, and now he is no longer the newcomer who has just come to hell and does not understand anything. He had imprinted a great deal of knowledge from the books in his mind, so he recognized the origin of the monster at a glance.
The Yakshatras are the great people of hell and occupy four cities. The territory is located to the west of Starsource City, and the war between the two races has never stopped since the Terrans took possession of Starsource City.
Countless Yaksha clans shot out from the shadows behind the mist, their wings flickering and the sound of the wind whistling, and they swooped down on everyone fiercely.
Although Dick was not stunned, he pulled out the immortal sword in his hand, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at the army of the Yaksha clan, and shouted: "Kill me!"
Dick's composure was contagious to everyone, and a hundred blue-armored soldiers drew their blades in unison, shouting, "Kill!" The rolling sound wave caused the fog to disperse in all directions.
The armies of the two clans collided together, and for a moment the sword light was bewildering and the sword aura was dazzling. The scattered energy dispelled the fog, and the loud shout shook the nine heavens!
The Terran soldiers are dressed in sharp clothes. The fighting spirit flew between the swings of the blades, and the divine power filled the sky. Most of the Nakshatra warriors are empty-handed. But their fangs and claws are no less than any blade.
From time to time, Terran soldiers slashed at the Yakshas, and Yaksha warriors pierced the chests of Terran warriors with their claws, and corpses rolled through the air and fell into the rancid swamp.
Blood, sprayed out, stumps, scattered in all directions, and the white mist was almost stained with blood.
Dick held the Immortal Sword, opening and closing. Split horizontally and vertically, and everywhere you pass is a bloody storm, and there is no one to join in. In his busy schedule, he didn't forget to raise his eyes and look around, and roughly estimated the number of Yaksha warriors, there were about seventy people, most of them were demigod level. In terms of numbers, it seems that the Terran side has the upper hand.
Dick's body shook and abruptly disappeared in place, and a Yaksha claw appeared in his original place, and the space sparkled and fluctuated. A blade of the sword poked out diagonally from the side of the attacking Yaksha warrior, piercing through his body.
The Yaksha didn't even snort, but tilted and fell into the swamp below. Then Dick slashed down diagonally with his sword in both hands. Cut off half of the head of one of the Yaksha warriors who rushed in front of him.
The superiority in numbers, combined with Dick's bravery and invincibility, tilted the balance of war in favor of the Terrans. Half an hour later. The tragic encounter was over, and five of the Yaksha warriors were captured. All the others were reduced to cold corpses, and the Terran side lost more than fifty soldiers.
Under Dick's orders. The remaining soldiers began to clean the battlefield, heal the wounded, and collect the bodies of the soldiers who had died in battle. Although reluctant, Dick could only put the corpses of the soldiers killed in battle into his own space bag. He couldn't let his men go into the Zombie Wilderness, and in the midst of the dangers of hell, it would be unwise for his soldiers to carry corpses on their backs.
Fortunately, after cultivating to become a demigod, Dick's space bag was already surprisingly large, and dozens of corpses could be piled up in the corner without worrying about blood staining other items.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Dick and the others escorted the five captives on their way back. On the way back to Star Source City, Dick's brows have been furrowed, these more than seventy Yaksha tribes immediately launched an attack as soon as they saw the Terran army, obviously they did not enter the territory of the Terran by mistake, this is a planned military operation, what is the purpose of the Yaksha tribe doing this?
After returning to the barracks in Starsource City, Dick handed over the bodies of the captives and fallen soldiers to the relevant personnel, and then returned to his camp.
As the captain of the squad, his tent is very wide and comfortable, the whole body is made of white special fabric, and has a variety of functions such as waterproof, heat preservation, breathability, etc., the ground of the camp tent is covered with thick and soft felt carpets, and the four walls are hung with ornaments made of animal teeth and animal bones, the style is bold and rough.
There was no carpet on the ground in the center of the tent, but a large and intricate magic array was etched here, all the magic symbols that made up the array were poured with pure gold, and the nodes between the lines were all inlaid with precious magic gems. This array map was bought by Dick from Starsource City at the price of 80,000 divine stones, and the effect was far better than that of the mortal plane.
However, to Dick's regret, he didn't find a magic potion in Starsource City that was more effective than the "Divine Grace Elixir".
Dick cautiously walked to the center of the magic array and sat down cross-legged, took out a green vial from the space bag and swallowed the divine grace potion, then closed his eyes slightly and entered the cultivation state.
In the sea of void spirits, there was also a little golden halo, infiltrating his soul, which was the purest spiritual liliang, called faith. Through the halo, you can vaguely sense the pious faces.
The main building is two nine-story buildings, the outer wall of the tall building on the left is carved with whirlwind patterns, the architectural style looks heroic and rugged, and the other high-rise building has no decoration, the style is simple and simple, but it is antique, and there is an elegant atmosphere everywhere. The two high-rise buildings are connected to each other by a suspended covered bridge, forming a single whole.
A middle-aged man stood on top of the tall building on the left, the houses below were as small as ants to him, and the blazing wind made his robe hunt.
The man was dressed in green clothes, and his appearance was a little mediocre, but his eyes were amazingly bright, and people didn't dare to look at him. He frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
The man suddenly felt something, turned his head to look at his side, and at the top of another tall building, at some point, a young woman appeared, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like autumn water, which was unforgettable beauty. A dusty white dress was worn on her body, just like a noble girl who had just attended a banquet, the wind was cold, but it couldn't blow a corner of her clothes, and the smoke and dust were immense, but it couldn't dye her white clothes.
The woman smiled softly, and Sakura's lips opened slightly: "Your Excellency Youngor, why did you call me over this time?" The voice was very soft, and the wind whistling between the two tall buildings was loud, but every word the girl said clearly echoed in the man's ears.
Youngor still frowned, "Catherine, we're in trouble. ”
"What do you say?" said the beautiful god of hope with a smile in his face.
Under the eternal night, the figure of the wind god looked a little desolate: "A group of soldiers patrolling the Misty Swamp today encountered the forces of the Yaksha clan, and they also captured five captives. After our interrogation, it was learned that they were the advance force of the Yaksha Legion. The Yaksha army will arrive in StarSource City in three days. The leader of the army is the true god of the Yakshas, Saraquis, who is ranked fifty-fourth in the land list. ”
Catherine raised her delicate eyebrows: "We have shared the power of faith with the aliens, allowing them to colonize our plane and compete for the living space of the human race, and Weishenme still refuses to let us go?"
She thought for a moment and asked, "What are the odds?"
The wind god Youngor thought for a while: "You and I will strike together, and dispatch all the soldiers of the Star Source Legion, and with the help of the defensive magic array of Star Source City, there is still a seventy percent chance of winning." However, the Star Source Legion will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and it will not be able to recover for three hundred years. ”
Catherine sighed softly: "Youngor, what do you think...... What would be the situation if we had chosen to follow Master Tlansius instead of retreating?"
Hearing this, Fengshen's eyes flickered, but in the end he remained silent. (To be continued......)
