Chapter 207: Soldier Station
The Alex Plains are thousands of miles away, and the hot air rises from the ground, meets the cold air in the air, and turns into a mist that envelops the entire plain. There is only a hurricane canyon from the crimson molten field where the center of the fire is located, and the temperature is not low, and you can't feel the cold of winter. On the contrary, because of the rising fog, people walking in it are like shuttling through the humid and sultry tropical rainforest, which is very uncomfortable.
The three of Allen stood out from the outpost and went deep into the southeast, traveling a hundred miles a day. By noon that day, we were very close to the mission location. In the mist, the strange trees that could not be named on the plain were like magic shadows, confusing the vision, making it difficult for people to determine the direction on the plain.
The field locator in the hands of Allen and the others has an accurate latitude and longitude positioning system, and I am afraid that the three of them will lose their way if they turn here for too long.
"It's like a huge sauna." Willik wiped the water beads from the fog buildup on his face and said uncomfortably.
Bloy took off his shirt early, naked, dragged a heavy axe, and his body was smooth and shiny, dressed as a macho man. But he didn't complain like Willik, but the Highlanders frowned, and obviously didn't like such an environment.
Alan nodded: "Whether it is a human or a sword demon, it is difficult to march in such an environment. But the temperature in the plains is so high, and when it comes to the crimson molten land, the environment is even more unfavorable to humans. ”
In the heart of the burning earth, I am afraid that the sword demons who like heat and cold will be more adept.
It was supposed to be their home turf.
"There's movement." Bloy said suddenly, and the highlander fell to the ground, put his ear to the ground, and after a moment said, "About half a kilometer ahead, there is a group of men and horses coming in this direction." ”
"Hidden." Alan Dao.
Bloy frowned and said, "The sound stopped, it seemed to stop. ”
"Then let's take a look."
The fog is the best shelter, and if you don't walk in it, it's hard to determine if it's a creature or a strange tree or a rock. The three of them arrived at a low hill, and they lay on the ground and looked down. Under the hill was a small camp, and a team of about a dozen sword demons was resting in a circle. At the edge of the camp, two horned wolves wandered around.
It's a pity that the fog blurs the keen sense of the horned wolf, and the three of Alan are downwind, not afraid of being discovered by the horned wolf.
In this team of sword demons, there are two berserk wolf knights, and the others are sword demon warriors. The Wolf Knight was wearing well-made armor, and the armor worn by the two of them was the same style, all of which were standard, and the equipment was a step up from the knights of the Toothless Tribe that they had seen before. The knights were burdened with heavy spears behind them, and the heavy spears were made of fine iron, and the tips of the spears were shiny and flowing, making them look unusually sharp, which was naturally much better than the spears held by the knights with tainted teeth.
As for those sword demon warriors, they were also wearing thin armor and carrying double swords.
Even a squad of the ten strong ones looks much better than those on the outside.
"It may be just a reconnaissance team, they touched this place, it's not far from the outpost." Willik Road.
Alan nodded: "Looks like we're going to have to clean up this team." Bloy, the two knights are handed over to you. Willik, we're in charge of dealing with the others. Mind you, even those two horned wolves can't be spared. ”
Without further ado, the trio acted immediately.
This sword demon team set off early in the morning and only stopped to rest at this time. Even the Wolf Knight was exhausted. The horned wolf, too, was resting on the ground, when suddenly its ears stood up, and they heard footsteps. Then the smell of human beings penetrated into his nose, and before he could bark and warn, suddenly a knife broke through the air in the fog, hitting the horned wolf's head.
The two wolves were stabbed in the head at the same time, and a bloody arrow soared, and the light in their eyes quickly dimmed.
Alan dragged his knife and hurried away, passing through the wolf corpses, and pounced directly on the sword demon warriors in the camp.
The sword demon was frightened, and everyone bounced.
A loud shout came from the back of the camp, and Willik leapt down the hill, his fist of fire wrapped around the dark blue flames, and slashed from the other side.
The two strongest wolf knights were shooting fierce lights at the moment, and when they just touched the heavy spear behind them, they suddenly felt light and fluttering, and the world also spun in their eyes. He suddenly realized that he had been beheaded from behind!
Bloy's forehead lit up with the carving of a fanatical fighter, threatening to kill a horseman. With a roar, he attacked the remaining wolf riders with his axe.
The battle ended after 5 minutes.
The entire Sword Demon team was wiped out by the three of them, and they didn't even escape from their mounts. Scooping up, there was no valuable loot other than Bloy's special interest in the heavy spear that the Wolf Knight carried. There is not even a centurion in the team, so naturally there is no source jade to be desired. So the three of them dragged the body to a hidden place, rested, and set off again.
This time, after advancing more than 40 kilometers, he finally arrived at the mission location designated by Lieutenant Gosa.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the outline of a building appeared in the eyes of the three men. It was an unexpected discovery, judging by the size of the silhouette, it was at least a sword demon station!
"It's a bit unusual, there's a sword demon station here?" Willik retracted, and the three of them hid in a row of strange trees, gathering together.
Alan nodded, "If there is a military station here, it means that the Sword Demon must have a plan against the Shadow Fortress." It seems that we need to dig a little deeper, find out which tribe this station belongs to, and the situation of the troops and the strong, etc. ”
When it comes to the federal army, Alan puts aside the grievances between him and Russon for the time being, and focuses on the overall situation.
"Let's go."
However, when they entered the station, the three of them felt that the situation was strange.
The station was deserted.
A small defensive wall was formed with sharpened wooden tsubakis, and upon entering the barracks was a sand-and-stone camp with a stone fire belt in the middle. It was littered with charred stone chips, bones, and tree branches that had not yet been completely burned, and it looked like it was used for a night fire. There is a sentry tower made of earth and stone on the left and right of the camp, and a main building behind it. The main building is two storeys high and flanked by bungalows.
The size of the station is presumed to be able to accommodate at least 200 people. That is, two hundred-man teams, and building a military station enough to accommodate two hundred-man teams in such a place close to the Yaree Mountains, the sword demon's mind is self-evident.
Judging by the tribal flags hanging on the main building, this place belongs to the Ironhoof tribe.
The only question is, where did the sword demon in the station go?
Alan gestured, and the three of them separated and infiltrated the station. Willik and Bloy each burrowed into the bungalows to the left and right, and after a moment they ran out and shook their heads. Willik said, "It's strange that there's not even a ghost in there." ”
"But there are footprints on the ground, and it seems that these two hundred-man teams should leave the station." Alan squatted on the ground, fiddling with the sand and stones of the camp with his hands, and could distinguish the footprints of the sword demons.
Alarm signs are sudden.
Alan only felt a sudden chill behind him, and before he could think about it, the person rolled to the left. In the fog outside the camp, a beam of light suddenly exploded, landing on the position before Allen, and exploded into a fireball. In the firelight, Alan rolled out a few meters. As soon as it bounced up, the killing intent behind him was awe-inspiring. He leaned forward, fangs in his hands, just in time to see a few more beams of light from the mist.
The fangs slashed out with the source power, and the beam exploded in the air. With the impact of the explosion, Alan slid backwards and shouted, "This is a trap, fast into the main building." ”
It was a building that could be used as a cover, and the three of them ran to the main building for their lives. The beam behind him was frequent, and the camp exploded incessantly, and a piece of sand and rocks flew away. The last beam of light slammed into the heels of the trio, and the explosion swept them into the main building. Alan and Willik landed on the ground and immediately rolled off to the left and right. Bloy snapped up and closed the front door with a heavy axe.
As soon as the gate was closed, Deng Deng Deng made a muffled sound, and one by one sharp arrows were nailed into the gate in rows. Alan poked his head out of a window next to him, only to see a figure appear in the fog outside the military station, and one by one sword demons approached from all sides, seemingly intending to surround the military station.
They are like turtles in an urn, and they will not escape unless they have two wings on their backs.
The sword demon approaching from the main entrance of the military station, five or six people in front of him were holding a strange-shaped firearm. The head of the spear resembles a beast's skull, the barrel sticks out of its jaw teeth, and there is a thick tube at the back that connects to a device behind it, which looks like the energy battery of this weapon. The previous energy beam should have come from the hands of these spear-wielding sword demons. There are also some fighters who carry a mechanical ballista similar to a relite cannon from their shoulders, and another soldier in the rear rotates the axle wheel, and the ballista will fire a series of sharp arrows, which is extremely powerful enough to pierce the gold travertine.
The ballistamen were obviously much more numerous, and they shifted their guns to the main building outside the station, and then fired in unison, and the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air caused a sharp whistling outside.
Alan hurriedly bowed his head, stuck to the corner with Willik, and gathered his body to protect himself. Sharp steel arrows shot in from doors, windows, and even walls. After a round of bombardment, the main building gate was shattered, and the ground wall was filled with arrowheads. Although the three of them missed many crossbow arrows due to the angle of evasion, they also wiped several wounds from each other.
At this time, a sword demon was shouting outside the station. Alan looked slightly, and the sword demon was wearing a fine suit of armor and the tribe's flag on his back. Some are like the centurion that Allen met before, but the source force aura is much thicker, and there is at least a fifteen or sixteen level young master. He carried a halberd and pointed in the direction of the main building, and kept calling.
Willik and the others couldn't understand it, but Alan had already used the translator before, but he could understand it.
The sword demon said, "Attack! Offensive! They were human scouts, and a group of us had died at their hands. These hateful creatures must be left here now, or Lord Dorey's plans will be frustrated. ”
It turned out that they had already detected the whereabouts of the three Allens.
Alan said in his heart, thinking about it like this, these sword demons must have unknown contact methods, otherwise how would they know that something happened to that team, let alone set up traps in advance. Deliberately used the empty military station to arouse the curiosity of the three of them, and waited for the party to enter the military station and then surrounded it from the outside to ensure that several of them could not escape. There is no way to get the information back to the outpost.
Another question is, what is the plan of the so-called Lord Dore? R1058
