Chapter 41: Exploring the Black Forest
Since Xuanyuan Qing wanted to do logistics transfer here, Fan Baili and Zhang Tianyu also stayed, and King Sam himself planned to go to the Black Forest to join in the fun, but when he saw that there was no one to accompany him, he gave up.
However, the front line is already in full swing, the army eats horses and chews, and staying for one more day is a day's waste, although it is a rainforest area, but the forage that can be eaten by the war horses needs to be well selected, because some poisonous weeds are mixed in if you are not careful.
The elephant soldiers of the Demon Sect are about to consume the food like a mountain in one meal, and it is not a way to drag it out like this, so they can think of an idea.
The terrain of the Black Forest is complex, and there are not only miasma and various poisons, but also dark clouds hovering above all year round, lightning and thunder. Even some sects of the Demon Sect that lived in the swamp did not dare to enter, let alone the righteous path soldiers.
In the end, in desperation, the two sides had no choice but to send a few teams into the Black Forest, but compared to the demon clans who survive in the natural environment all year round, the Black Forest is as familiar as their home.
Whether the human race is a demon sect or a righteous path, it is not meaningful. The squads on both sides basically encountered layers of ambushes and blockades.
Shen Guangtang is more familiar with the Black Forest than others, he has one of the few opportunities to enter the Black Forest when he is growing up, at that time, Black Wind is the peak of strength, the strength of the army, the demon clan does not dare to meet its front, and it is thousands of miles away. Therefore, this area is basically the Black Wind sphere of influence, and at that time, many scattered squads were pursued here, and after a few temptations, Shen Guangtang finally knew some general situation.
But the terrain of the Black Forest changes dramatically, and the first night is the same, and perhaps after a rainstorm, the next day is completely different. It is precisely because of the constant change that one of the greatest difficulties in the Black Forest is this.
As the leader of the black wind, this kind of thing naturally shouldn't be his appearance, but first, he was very angry, and second, since the demon clan hardened up, no one had entered this place for a long time, and Shen Guangtang, who had some experience, was the most suitable guide.
Although the time and place of the demon clan are favorable, but when they encounter a team led by a master of Shen Guangtang's level, they can't take advantage of it, and after a few contacts, they are all overwhelmed.
Of course, the other squads were not so lucky, several school-level combat power leaders were dying in it, and most of the squads were wiped out.
After Shen Guangtang and the others killed the enemy in front of them, they never saw the patrol team again, and it seemed that there were only some transfer points left.
The situation of the demon clan looking down on the human race still did not improve, and they decided that the human race could not penetrate their own blockade in order to make Shen Guangtang feel like he was in a no-man's land.
One evening, the long-hauled, wounded team members came to a clearing, and the stumps in their eyes told them that the demon clan must have cut down the wood in this place to prepare something.
Sure enough, everyone hid in the dark, and there was a silver bell captain who was good at stealth to explore. Just when Shen Guangtang's patience was about to run out, Captain Yinling finally returned.
"Commander, ten miles ahead, is the big camp of the demon clan, and behind the big camp is a huge construction site, what are they building. ”
"But to build a palace or something?"
"Not really, it looks more like a castle or a barracks or something. I couldn't see the materials they had taken away. ”
"Can you trace the delivery of something?"
"There are some clues, but I am not sure, several rains in the past few days have completely covered the traces of transportation, and it is not even possible to see what kind of tools they use to transport them. ”
"How's the battalion defending?"
"It's neat, but it's not tight enough, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to touch the camp and infiltrate the construction site. ”
Shen Guangtang thought for a while, then summoned the team and said, "Now that we're here, we might as well do a big deal and see if there's a chance to destroy their project." ”
"No, you are the commander of the black wind, and you have led the team against your original wishes, and now you have to go to the raid, no matter what, we will not agree, otherwise we will be known by the deputy commander after we go out." He can skin us. ”
"Believe it or not, I'm going to peel you right now!"
"No, Archon, we won't agree to your going. ”
"Yes, we want to go, and we will go by ourselves!"
"Don't worry, Commander, we're doing our best to make the damage possible. ”
In fact, Shen Guangtang is not only the soul of the team, but also the guarantee of combat power, without his team, the strength is not a discount.
The rainforest is very humid and rainy, especially after nightfall, when most of the exposed branches and leaves are covered with a layer of dew.
Although the team was undetected by the enemy before entering, the target was exposed at the beginning of the arson. The incendiary projectiles in their hands were limited and did not allow for the panic they imagined. Every spark was quickly shattered before it could ignite, and no damage was caused despite the huge amount of wood and hay and other very flammable materials placed on the site.
However, the arsonists counted one by one, and they were basically all surrounded. Originally, the sergeants on the scene were just some low-level soldiers, not the opponents of the high-ranking soldiers and lieutenants and colonels in the squad. However, the group panicked in the night, and actually fled into the place where the demon beast kept the murderer's poisonous insects.
This time, it's a life of nine deaths.
The team members killed a mutated giant worm, and found that after five of them pounced and killed a spider the size of a house, they found that the contaminated blood directly corroded their bodies into black holes.
It's a pity that these most capable squads didn't die on the battlefield, but they died on monsters who didn't know what to do.
Shen Guangtang kept an eye on it, and did not withdraw by himself, but waited on the way back.
He never saw the fireworks rising, and he knew that he had failed. But his intuition told him that some brothers would come back.
Finally, in the early hours of the fifth day, he saw the only one!
His most elite squad, there was only one person left!
It is the silver bell captain who is good at hiding his tracks, and only he can survive the high-intensity confrontation and danger.
The team strayed into the monster area, and by the time they broke through, it was less than a third, and they were all hanging lotteries. Under the fierce pursuit of the demon clan, they fled to the edge of the Black Forest before they could escape.
In the process, Captain Silver Bell finally discovered the tools transported by the demon clan, and they were using huge spiders, six-legged beasts, and so on.
A spider is five zhang square, and the load of goods on its back is enough to weigh a thousand catties. The six-legged beast is more than ten zhang and can carry thousands of catties of goods.
"The demon clan actually domesticated the overlord spider and the ancient six-legged beast again, which shows that their strength has been greatly restored. Shen Guangtang was sad for the team he lost, and his heart was dripping with blood, but the information he got was also very valuable.
The demon clan not only domesticated a huge number of monsters, but also had several helpers that the demon clan only had when they were in charge of the world. It can be seen that they have tasted courage over the years, and it seems that they have really gained something.
