Chapter 53: Frontline Intelligence (How to Reply to the Post, QAQ~)
The atmosphere at the border post has been quite tense these days, and the abnormal movements of the creatures of hell on the Icy Plains have almost begun to be completely undisguised, every day there are reports of large groups of monsters concentrating in a certain place, and every day there are professionals who go out on adventures and return with bruises and feathers, they are all very experienced professionals, and they usually have their own adventure areas that have explored mature adventure areas, and their familiarity with their adventure areas is comparable to the familiarity of beasts with their own territory, It stands to reason that it is impossible for so many seasoned professionals to have problems at the same time.
However, the accident happened, and many of the embarrassed professionals were angry and cursed, they suddenly encountered a large group of monsters in their adventure area that should not have been there at all, and in the case of a sudden attack, it was already considered a superb skill to escape with their lives.
There are many professional squads that simply haven't returned, and perhaps they will never return.
The number of scouts sent by the outpost has increased to five times the usual number, and almost every scout has brought back bad news.
According to this aggregated information, there is a terrifying army of hellish creatures forming in the cold plains, but no matter how much Flavi sends more people to investigate, he can't find this place, and this feeling of being put to the neck with a knife and not seeing where the opponent is has driven the always strong captain Flavi crazy.
As if she still felt that she was not in enough trouble, the scouts sent out in the past few days were suddenly hit by targeted counter-scouts, although the skilled Rog did not suffer any substantial losses in the enemy's countermeasures, but Flavi did not dare to continue to expand the scout team to conduct further searches in the cold field, and, according to the information fed back by the scouts, the enemy who launched a counter-attack on them was a good hand with a bow and crossbow, and the arrows shot were all with a cold effect, which alone was already very difficult, What's more troublesome is that this group of opponents seems to be familiar with Rogge's tactics, and they also have a set of special countermeasures, which is to prevent Rogge's scout troops from being attritional, but also block all the means by which the scouts try to gather intelligence, so that the border post temporarily becomes deaf and blind.
"Damn! Damn it!! Damn it!!! Flavi walked up and down his tent with a piece of parchment in his hand, his face pale with the information of a scout who had risked his life to obtain information that had frozen half of his body by an arrow with the power of ice, and was still unconscious.
However, the contents of the intelligence made Flavi, who was already on the verge of an outburst, almost go berserk.
This scout ventured to approach the small station stronghold that had been lost for several days, only to find that it had completely become a dead place, the light of the small station's teleportation array had been extinguished a few days ago, and the entire small station stronghold was completely destroyed by the sudden appearance of the hellish army.
The scout ventured into the station, only to find that a group of Fallen wizards were gathering the corpses of the dead Rogers in the station's stronghold, and then transforming them into Dark Rogs through a sinister ritual!
"Bastard!!" Flavi exploded with rage and slapped a chair to pieces.
"What's wrong? Make such a big fury? "The only person who dares to open the tent at such a time is Kashya, and the others will definitely be used as a punching bag to vent his anger in a fit of rage.
"Lord Kasha, look at this." Flavi barely suppressed his anger and handed the parchment to Kashya.
Kasha took the parchment, read it carefully, and then became angry, but Kasha's anger lasted only a moment, and then it was replaced by doubt.
"What's going on? Isn't that right? All the hellish monsters here are just projections, but our Rog warriors are real people, how can they have the power to transform the corpses of our Rog warriors? And this method of transformation ...... How does it look so similar to the ritual of transforming the Cultists of Hell? ”
She looked at the ritual pattern that the scout had ventured to copy on the parchment, and her brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
"What? Hellists?! Flavi's face turned white suddenly, as if he had thought of something, and his whole body began to tremble.
"Flavi! Calm down! I'm just saying it's kind of like ...... Well, I'll go see ...... for myself."
"Chirp!"
"What? Bronze messenger bird? Kasha was about to set off to find out for herself when a fist-sized bird slammed open the door and stabbed her in the chest.
"This little one! Dare to take advantage of me......" Kasha grabbed one of the messenger's feet with one hand and pulled it out of her clothes, and the poor messenger was almost suffocated to death, and she was still stunned when she got it out.
"Lord Kashya, it has a letter on its feet!" At a glance, Flavi saw the parchment tied to the messenger's other leg.
"Oh? I'll take a look......" Kasha put the messenger bird on the table, took the letter from its feet and unfolded it, and after a glance, her expression became serious, and then she turned it over again, her face paused for a moment, and then a hint of playfulness.
"This little guy has a lot of secrets......
"Lord Kasha, what's wrong?"
"See for yourself, you know this funny little guy too." Kasha tossed the parchment to Flavi, who took the letter and looked at it, then looked at Kashya with some confusion.
"Turn it over and see."
"Uh, oh......" Flavi saw a map on the front of the parchment, but there were no signs on it, and although the map was very detailed, she didn't understand what it meant.
Until she turned the map over and saw the next sentence......
"What!? Is what he said true? Flavi's eyes widened, and he flipped the parchment over and stared at the map.
"Don't keep your eyes peeled, it's a sub-standard military map, and the map signs used are very interesting, so you'll have to look at it the way you understand a military map." Cassa leaned against the table and looked at Flavi, who had a rare gaffe.
"Uh, ahem......" Realizing that she was out of shape, Flavi quickly coughed twice to cover it up, and then took a closer look at the map, this time, she quickly understood the meaning of the map.
On this local minimap, a longbow and a spear crossed would indicate the border post at your feet, while another with bat wings and ram's horns would indicate the assembly point for the Legion of Hell.
However, this place ......
"Lord Kasha, this place is a high slope, my scout must have searched a few times, is he mistaken?" This person called "Xue", of course Flavi has an impression, after all, the guy who dares to fight with the demon king himself at the fourth level and has an advantage, it is difficult not to be impressive, but the place he marked is not very far from the outpost, and the scouts he sent have searched several times, but they haven't found anything except a bare hillside?
"Heh~ This little guy has a lot of ability, so let's do it, anyway, I'm going to go to the small station post to have a look, you send two people to follow me, let's go to the place marked on the map to take a look first."
"Yes! Lord Kasha! ”
