Chapter 147: First Encounter with the Undead
On the road of the wetlands, a team is marching rapidly, this is the 5,000 Terran army that went to the Angry Fang camp to exterminate the orcs, and their current commander is none other than Leo.
Leading an army to conquer the enemy is the dream of many. Just like everyone has a back mountain in their hearts, in fact, every man has a dream of being a general in his heart, how many men don't envy the military career of the Jin Ge Iron Horse?
The dream is beautiful, but the reality is cumbersome, and before that, Leo had never thought of such a troublesome thing to lead an army: how to proceed with the troops, how the soldiers could store their strength during the march, how they should go there every day to set up camp, and the food and drink of the soldiers made Leo's head grow like a fight when he first came into contact with it.
I didn't expect to lead the army so hard, my brother is still leading a group of regular troops who have been through a hundred battles, plus the assistance of experienced non-commissioned officers such as Verry, in this case, I still feel that there are too many things to deal with, I really don't know why the pig's feet in those yy novels I read before are so strong, just take over the army and be able to handle everything in an orderly manner, as if everything is not a problem. Is my brother really not a pig's foot life, and he doesn't have a pig's foot halo?
Leo, who was entangled in military affairs and had a headache, rubbed his eyebrows, this is still a force of 5,000 people, and it is still a short-distance attack, it is already unbearable for him, if he is like Link who leads tens of thousands of troops to fight a long-term war, then it must not drive people crazy?
Do you have a specialization in the art industry, and you don't have enough experience to lead troops? Take care of yourself first.
"Lord Leo, we have a day to go to Camp Furious Fang, do you need to slow down your march?" Verri asked in a whisper beside Leo.
Verry said he was asking, but he was reminding Leo at the same time. The big battle is coming, and you can't march in a hurry, you have to reserve your strength for tomorrow's battle. In fact, along the way, thanks to the reminders from time to time of Verry and the other four experienced Master Chiefs, otherwise the whole team would definitely not be in much better shape even if it wasn't messed up by Leo.
Leo wasn't the kind of guy who didn't have self-knowledge, he knew that he had no experience in leading troops, and he took all the suggestions of Viri's experienced Master Officers. In fact, Leo also understands that Link didn't expect him to do anything when he arranged to lead the team this time, but more importantly, he wanted him to learn how to lead troops, after all, he is now a knight lieutenant, and he can still run on errands of leading troops to fight in the future?
Even if Link doesn't make this arrangement, Leo will find a way, if he wants to be promoted, if he wants to upgrade his rank to get more and better military equipment, he will inevitably contribute to the war. Leading troops to fight is undoubtedly a better way to obtain military merits and promote yourself faster.
"Fighting with troops? I didn't expect that I would have such a day. Leo smiled slightly, this time after the crossing is really not what he could have imagined before.
At that moment, Leo's eyes lit up.
Ten miles away from the army, a group of orcs armed with twin knives were whispering something on the side of the road, and the orcs did not notice that a crow was flying over their heads. This raven was the eye of the Leo faction as they probed around the team.
"Verry." Leo beckoned to Verry, motioning for Master Chief to come over to him.
"Lord Leo, what are your orders?"
Leo whispered a few words in Verry's ear, and a smile appeared on the Master Chief's face.
Ten miles is not a long distance, especially for a regular army composed entirely of fighters, even a slow march is only a cup of tea.
"Brother Leo, there are people on both sides." Sidis, riding Shadow Claw, quietly pointed to both sides of the road, and if it weren't for the fact that as a hunter, she would not have discovered the humanoid detection skill, because both places were swamps.
Being able to hide in the swamp and wait for an opportunity to attack, these orcs are really talented. Leo pursed his lips and glanced at Verri, who quietly made a gesture, but in a moment the whole team was ready for battle.
Just as the whole group was halfway through the procession, dozens of figures suddenly burst out of the swamps on both sides of the road, and they swung their swords at the human soldiers marching on the avenue.
"Shoot the arrows!"
At the same time as the orcs lying in ambush in the swamp beside the road sprang up, the archers in the army had already shot the sharp arrows that had long been wound. A thousand sharp arrows shot out in unison, instantly shooting dozens of orcs who wanted to ambush the human army into hedgehogs.
However, a few dozen Dragon's Throat Swamp walkers dared to attack my army of 5,000 men, and I said that you should think too highly of yourself. Leo didn't make a move, and this level of ambush really made him have nothing to do.
Seeing that the ambushers had all been killed, Leo turned his head, and was about to speak to Verry when a cold light flashed from the void, and a dagger quickly wiped out Leo's throat.
Someone sneak attacked!
The timing of the sneak attacker is very good, and the mind of ordinary people will definitely relax at this time, and the success rate of killing the target at this time is not ordinarily high. But Leo, who had suffered in this regard, disappointed the sneak attacker, and when the sneak attacker's dagger stabbed him, a shadow rage directly knocked him out of the stealth, and the impact of the dark element made the sneak attacker stunned on the spot, and the dagger used for the sneak attack was only a slap away from Leo.
Before the sneak attacker could get out of his coma, two shadow arrows hit him in the chest again, and the impact on the shadow arrows knocked the sneaker to a stumble. However, these two blows also woke up the sneak attacker, and the sneak attacker was about to take action, but the crimson fire on his body flashed, and then in a 'bang' sound, a huge concussive force shook him dizzy, and his body did not obey the call for a while.
Instant Shadow Arrows and Sacrificial Fire!
The sneak attacker was shocked, he knew that he had kicked the iron plate this time, this knight lieutenant of the human army was actually a warlock with legendary peak strength.
Isn't it a joke that a warlock with legendary peak strength actually only achieved the position of knight lieutenant? No matter what, you have to be a major, I said, you have nothing to do, why are you low-key? Isn't it fun to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, my brother really despises you!
The sneak attacker cursed in his heart, and at the same time, he raised his hands, spilled a handful of powder, and the whole person disappeared in front of everyone.
"Stalkers who will disappear! Scatter! ”
Under Verry's orders, the 1,000 archers in the army began to shoot arrows indiscriminately in all directions, trying to force the stalkers out of the stealth state.
Leo waved his hand at Verri, isn't it just looking for a stalker, it's not that troublesome. A hellhound appeared beside him, and the tentacles on its head swung in the air a few times before quickly chasing in one direction.
The archers didn't need to say anything about Leodore to know what to do, and they shot their arrows in the direction that the hellhounds were tracking.
"Damn!"
A figure with several sharp arrows on his body appeared in embarrassment, and the stalker who entered the stealth state was immediately forced out under the powerful arrow rain attack.
"Since you're here, let's stay obediently."
This stalker Leo would never let him run away, not because he attacked Leo, but because of the identity of this stalker, an undead.
Undead? Yes, it's the undead. Actually, it should not be said to be the undead, but the forsaken.
Seeing this undead, the original suspicion was confirmed. The defense line established on the Sadol Bridge did not stop all the undead stalkers, and the behavior of the three thousand orcs occupying the camp of the Furious Fang had a lot to do with these undead stalkers.
A man-sized vine emerged from the ground, entangling the undead stalker, and Leo's poisonous vine grew stronger after he was promoted to Legendary Warlock, which was reflected in its thicker size.
The undead stalker struggled, but the tenacity and strength of the poisonous vine were too strong, and with the strength of this undead stalker, he couldn't break free at all, if it weren't for Leo wanting to catch the poisonous vine alive, he would have already begun to inject toxins to destroy his body, how could he still be allowed to struggle?
"Drag him here!"
Under Leo's orders, the undead stalker, who was wrapped in a rice dumpling by the poisonous flower vine and left only one head exposed, was dragged in front of Leo.
Leo kicked the undead stalker and asked playfully, "Aren't you going to say something, bones?" ”
"Say something? Hum! The undead stalker looked at Leo with empty eyes, his face full of unspeakable resentment, "Human, don't be complacent, Lord Vinsk will avenge me." ”
Avenge? Not good!
Leo's face changed, and at this time, a cloud of energy that could be absorbed rose from the undead stalker's body.
Nima, you've died once, why can't you think about it so much? I'm addicted to death, right, and I committed suicide by playing with my brother. Leo was a little unhappy, he didn't expect that the kind of bloody episode that caught a captive and played suicide would appear on him. Dog blood, dog blood, you really can't prevent it.
"Hmph, Vinsk, huh? It seems that there are not just one or two undead stalkers entering the wetlands. Playing field battles with undead stalkers in the wetlands, a place where there is often fog, is really calm. ”
What does it mean that the undead stalker who committed suicide was talking about 'Lord Vinsk', not 'Vinsk'? It shows that the undead who infiltrated the wetland are led by someone, and since there are people in charge, there must be an organization, and since it is an organization, there are definitely more than one or two.
"Verry, order the whole army to strengthen their vigilance, and the officers should pay more attention to the soldiers walking at the back of the line, and beware of the brothers being overshadowed by those bones."
The wetland was too good for the Stalker, its perennial fog was a natural cover for the Stalker to assassinate, and Leo didn't want to go to the Angry Fang camp only to find that his team had been quietly cut off by their tails.
"Yes, Lord Leo!" (Thanks to book friends: Jianghu God, wokao!! ~~'s tip)
