Chapter 659. A sudden dilemma
Bandak led the team towards the signal.
Finally stopped in front of the royal palace in the main city.
Bandak was able to recognize this as the royal palace of the City of the Dead, only because it was located in the center of the city, it was indeed large enough, and the territory was surrounded by towering guardrails.
If I had to ask Bandak to make any assessment of the appearance of this palace.
It is estimated that only two words can come out of his mouth - weird.
The entire palace of the Land of the Dead is made of stone, which makes people feel heavy and thick. And its shape is very strange, it seems to have only one entrance, and it is difficult to see where it leads.
"Aldrich, they're sending signals here?" Bandak asked.
The accompanying soldier replied, "It is indeed here based on the distance of observation." ”
Bandak frowned: "Then where are they?" Inside this palace? ”
The soldier who had just begun to answer the question stood to the side, his lips tightened, too nervous to speak. In my heart, I slandered: This scout is really going to cause trouble.
And the doubts in Bandak's heart are getting deeper and deeper. After calming down and thinking about it, Bandak became more and more convinced that the group of soldiers in charge of reconnaissance was not just playful, but that there was some other reason why they didn't show up now.
Most of the people in this palace are in ambush.
But why didn't they confront Bandak's team head-on outside the city gates in the first place? Instead, he chose to stay quietly in this strange-looking palace. Could it be that this palace really has some advantages that make them make such a choice?
There was a vague uneasiness in Bandak's heart.
After thinking about it for a while, he said to the soldiers beside him, "Go find another group of soldiers who are searching in the city, and let them come to this palace to join us." ”
The soldier who received the order breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and quickly walked towards the fork in the road. Vanished from Bandak's view.
"Don't act rashly and rest in place." Bandak ordered.
It was now close to noon and the sun had risen to its highest point. Dehrim's soldiers sat on the ground one after another. All of them looked tense, waiting for the next order from the Bandakh Commander.
After a moment or so, there was a scream at the intersection where the soldiers who had just been ordered to go out to look for people left: "Ahhh!!h ”
All of Dehrim's warriors immediately stood up, took out their weapons or had already stepped onto their horses.
"Lizard... Lizardmen!! "At the intersection, the soldier dragged a bloodied warrior on his shoulders and rushed towards the large procession.
The warrior beside him seemed to have lost consciousness and was dragged by him.
Bandak suddenly ran to the front of the line and stared carefully for a moment. Only then did he discover that the injured one was his subordinate officer.
"Crito!!" Bandak called his subordinates' names, trying to help hold his body. But he was stopped by the soldiers on the side.
Behind the subordinate officers and soldiers was a large group of lizardmen.
The whole area of black pressure seemed to be crowding the whole street.
The lizardmen were like flowing water, and in front of them: the two soldiers were like sand that could be washed away at any moment.
All of Deherim's soldiers froze in horror until they came to their senses. The two soldiers had been swallowed up by the wave of lizardmen.
"Why, why are there lizardmen here?" The soldiers around him were already completely panicked. They had never fought against a lizardman before, and in this hot and hot weather, it was torture for them, and for the lizardman it was like a fish meeting water. All of them are energetic and come and go freely.
What else could there be, the lizardmen were clearly reinforcements from the undead.
It's really a race converted from cold-blooded animals.
A while ago, they were allies who fought side by side against the invasion of the undead, but now they promised to help the undead to frame themselves.
With so many men dispatched, I really don't know how much benefit the undead have given to the lizardmen.
"All of them are ready for battle." Bandak said calmly.
Deherim's warriors all came to their senses at the moment, but their faces were more or less ugly.
Facing off against a lizardman in such a narrow alley is like banging your head against a wall.
The Swadia warriors at the head of the line had already formed their formation, holding their blades in their left hands and their shields raised to their chests in their right hands.
Every soldier stared at the enemy directly in front of them.
The lizardman who was fighting against him had a relaxed face, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly mocking.
Just as the battle between the two sides was about to break out, a tall man stepped out of the lizard-crowd, and when Bandak saw that face, he always felt that he had seen him somewhere.
I don't remember exactly where.
The man walked straight up to Bandak and grinned, "Still thinking about attacking the city, don't you see that it is clearly set for you?" With a leader like you, Dehrim is probably going to be finished in this Narun Desert. ”
"Despicable villain." Bandak snorted coldly.
"How many big guys won at the city gates, and I think you're quite happy?" The man mocked: "People are death row prisoners who can't eat enough for three meals, and in the end they were beaten to death by you like this." However, as the lowest existence of the undead, it is only natural to take a few of Deherim's soldiers as burials. ”
Bandak stared into the other's eyes, gritted his teeth, but said nothing.
The lizard-human man seemed to be satisfied when he saw Bandak's resentful expression. After a pause, he spoke again, "Forget it, today is not our lizardmen's home field. I won't say much. The host here is in this palace, and you, perhaps, go in and have a look? ”
Bandak pushed the man away and walked to the door of the undead palace.
Trying to calm the anger in his heart, he took a deep breath and walked into the palace.
The lizard-clan man watched as Bandak walked in, and chuckled softly.
Then he looked up and saw the warrior of Dehrim, who was surrounded by him with unkind eyes, and said arrogantly: "Your life is now on the mouth of your boss." How? In such a hurry to die? ”
As soon as the voice fell, he pushed one of the fighters away and walked out on his own.
The sun was scorching, and the two sides sat opposite each other.
The lizard-clan man walked around, thinking about something.
In his heart, he still hoped that the temper of the leader of Dehrim would not be too stubborn, and that he would confess to the leader of the undead clan inside.
In this way, the group can easily complete the task and return home to get their share of the reward.
