0766 Arrogant Wizard
The first enemies to threaten Death Valley are still humans. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the 41st hour, a mysterious human force appeared.
I don't know which small town they are from, there are not many wizards, and there are less than 300 human soldiers.
Because Farina deliberately chose a dangerous place deep in the jungle when choosing a location to build the city, Death Valley is mostly surrounded by rugged mountains or swampy wetlands infested with monsters. For a human army to get here from a neighboring town, it would have to trek at least nearly a hundred miles through the jungle.
This is an infantry army composed of pure light armor swordsmen, and there are no other troops in it, and there is no trace of all kinds of heavy weapons. In fact, this is normal, after all, not any team can trek for nearly a hundred miles in a jungle full of wild beasts, poisonous insects, and not even a decent trail.
It can be seen that this group of enemies is specifically coming towards Death Valley. As soon as they emerged from the jungle with ancient trees and deep leaves, they had already begun to line up in a neat line, facing the Death Valley side, and hurriedly eating in the pre-battle free time.
A commander in exquisite monster leather armor stood at the front of the team, holding up a "monocular mirror"
There was not a half-living creature in sight at the entrance to the secluded valley, but there was a heavy, pungent smell in the air. It can be seen that this place has just experienced a series of battles. The battlefield was littered with discarded insect stumps and beast pelts, as well as large masses of foul-smelling slime, while most of the creature flesh was missing, which made Stone's heart tighten even more.
Today's long-range attack was not his intention, but the idea of the two noble wizards behind him. As the captain of the guard under Lord Edward of Maple Leaf City, he thought that such a suggestion to travel hundreds of miles to sneak up on an unknown enemy was simply terrible. If it weren't for the two noble wizards who made the request, I'm afraid he would have scoffed at this suggestion and just arrested the guy who made the suggestion and put him in prison.
Who is the enemy? He didn't know. It seems that even the two wizards who made the request for troops don't know who the specific enemy is.
Without knowing who the enemy was and what kind of ability and strength he had, it was absolutely impossible for such a ridiculous thing to throw the elite light armor swordsman battalion of Maple Leaf City across the hundred miles of mountains and forests to a strange place, but it became a reality under the force of the two wizards.
Fortunately, this difficult jungle road of nearly 100 miles was not attacked by too many jungle beasts, nor was it attacked by large groups of lepidoptera and myriapod insects, which undoubtedly made the team have a lot less unnecessary attrition. But even so, poisonous creeping plants, bloodthirsty man-eating flowers, and seemingly soft ground are actually terrible muddy quicksand traps...... These essential elements of the jungle still reduced the team to more than a dozen people.
Along the way, the entire jungle was unprecedentedly silent, which made the Great Swordsman Stone even more frightened. And at this moment, looking at the end of the trip, the silent valley hidden in the thick white mist, Stone felt a sense of horror from the bottom of his heart.
Behind him there was a rustling sound, and the two Advisor Wizards, who had been fed by Lord Edward, complained about the slippery and sticky dirt road while urging the Chief Stone Guard to hurry in.
Stone sighed imperceptibly, turned back and respectfully saluted the two wizards.
The tall one is a Hudson wizard, a 3rd order, good at divination and prophecy, and today's actions are all shaped by his "persistence". And he is the indispensable right-hand man of Lord Edward, and even many specific government affairs have begun to use his divination skills.
The short one is a Cindy wizard, a 2nd order, good at pharmacy, and usually very low-key. It is said that the lord has regained his "majesty" with some magical potions offered by Wizard Cindy, and has made a resounding reputation among many noblewomen and celebrities in Maple Leaf City.
"Dear Lord Hudson, the terrain here is dangerous, and there is only one road for the brigade to enter and exit. So I felt the need to send some scouts ......"
Despite the humility of the Stone's guard, he was interrupted by an angry wizard.
"The enemy is at hand, Chief Stone Guard. All I need is for you to rush in and kill the evil creature that angers the spirit of nature. There is only one way, and that is not better, so that the enemy will be even less likely to escape! How long are you going to grind? I can already feel the wrath of the spirits of nature. For every quarter of an hour you delay, the enemy becomes stronger for a quarter of an hour, are you going to question my orders? ”
The thin-faced, hooked Wizard Hudson's tone was already menacing when he said his last sentence. The short and fat Cindy wizard next to him took the opportunity to add a handful of oil.
"With our two wizards holding you down, are you still afraid that the evil creature will rebel?"
Stone's heart twitched, but he barely managed to squeeze out a smile on his face.
"Yes, Wizard. I'll give the order to march! ”
The troops marched for a day and a night, and it was a time when people were sleepy and tired. Taking advantage of the opportunity just now, he quickly nibbled on some dry food, and before he could take a break, the herald who led the team had already shouted loudly.
However, this Maple Leaf City's well-built swordsman battalion is a rare elite after all, and all the members in it have the strength of a third-order warrior, so this kind of hard work can be withstanded. Although they were full of complaints, half an hour later, amid the loud shouts of the trumpeters, the rows of swordsman battalion soldiers were ready to advance towards the valley of death.
There were no arrows in the sky, no enemies waiting for them, and the entire valley entrance was quiet and palpitating, only the captain of the queue was still shouting the slogan of "one-two-one", trying to maintain the strict order of the team.
The warriors, who had already put their small wooden shields above their heads, hesitantly lowered their hands, and scanned around for possible enemies as they went.
As they passed through the valley, all the warriors were smoldered with a sticky, slippery, and strange liquid that covered the ground, and the large number of remaining cobweb fragments was also sticky, so the speed of the group slowed down even more.
As everyone cautiously passed through the "battlefield" and began to descend little by little into the valley shrouded in white mist, the two wizards came to the field, picked up some carapace fragments and broken arthropods, and talked to each other.
As knowledgeable wizards, they naturally recognize these as part of certain highly venomous insects and insects. It seems that before them, there were already some jungle creatures inspired by the spirits of nature to attack the enemy. With so much silence in the valley, shouldn't the enemy be wiped out with the stupid jungle creatures?
They should have gone faster, but they couldn't let the evil thing that angered the Spirit of Nature escape, otherwise they would get much less in return from the Spirit of Nature.
However, the dark elemental particles here seem to be too active, and it is clear that there have been dark creatures here, which cannot be ignored. Therefore, the two wizards took out a few witchcraft weapons from their pockets to restrain dark creatures, grabbed them in their hands, and then strode to follow the team in front of them.
But not long after the two of them passed through this battlefield, the soft and dirty soil suddenly began to stir and roll, and ugly and hideous zombies came out of it and quietly embellished behind the humans.
A quarter of an hour later, a cry of battle could be heard from the depths of the mist-shrouded valley, mixed with the crisp sound of gold and iron and the loud sound of elemental fireballs bursting. But the battle broke out suddenly, and ended quickly, and in only half an hour, the valley fell silent again.
At the entrance of the valley, the sound of heavy breathing and rapid running sounded, and the drifting mist spread in all directions, and four or five embarrassed figures broke out of it.
"Let's go...... Come on...... The undead are catching up! Hurry up ......"
Frightened and hurried, his voice had been distorted, and he could barely make out the voice of the swaggering Hudson wizard. But beside him, there was no sign of the Cindy wizard.
The Stone Guard's armor was disheveled, bleeding profusely, and there was a terrible claw mark on his forehead that was deep into the bones, and the rolled wound was covered with gray death. Despite his injuries, he gritted his teeth and supported the stumbling Hudson Wizard, leading the three remaining servants out of the terrible nightmare land.
Skeleton soldiers, who obviously don't have a trace of flesh and blood, but can move as freely as a living person, and can also kill human warriors like crazy; Ugly zombies with dirty, filthy tattered clothes, puscesses and purple-black crust all over their bodies, and only howl and pounce on people.
The two most common undead creatures, no matter how numerous they are, are unlikely to defeat a human team with wizards. But in the depths of the mist, there are a large number of terrifying ghosts and terrifying vampire demons with humanoid appearances.
The claw marks on Stone's forehead were given by a vampire demon.
To this day, when I think of the pale faces of those people, the scarlet silk cloaks, the bright red lips, the bloody pupils, and the swift bodies that come and go like the wind, Stone feels a paralysis from the depths of his heart. These terrifying vampire demons often pounced on some unlucky ghost with the steel swords of three or four swordsmen, lying on the neck of the other person and sucking with a creepy sound.
Stone had seen with his own eyes that most of a vampire demon had been scorched by the wizard's hot fireball, but when he lay on the human body and sucked a few bites, the scorched skin fell straight down, revealing the crackling and rapidly growing new flesh underneath.
Terrifying ghosts that are not afraid of the damage of ordinary swords, terrifying demons who can suck blood and recover, these guys have made a mess of the entire human defense. But what really contributed to the collapse of the human team was the terrifying Roshan that shook the mountains as it walked.
