The Alex Plain was thousands of miles away, and the hot air soared from the ground, met with the cold in the air, and turned into a misty mist covering the entire plain. There is only a hurricane canyon between this place and the Scarlet Meltland where the heart of the fire is located. The temperature is not low, and you can't feel the coldness of winter. On the contrary, because of the rising fog, people walked in it as if they were traveling through a humid and sultry tropical rain forest, which was very uncomfortable.
The Allen trio stood out from the sentry and went deep to the southeast, traveling hundreds of miles a day. At noon that day, it was very close to the mission location. In the misty fog, the strange and unnamed trees standing on the plain are like magical shadows, chaotic vision, making it difficult to determine the direction on the plain.
Wrong, the field locator in the hands of Allen and others has a precise latitude and longitude positioning system. I am afraid that the three of them will lose their way if they turn here for too long.
"It's just like a super large sauna." Willick wiped the water droplets on his face caused by the accumulation of mist, and said uncomfortably.
Bloe took off his shirt early, and was naked, with a heavy axe in his hands, smooth and shiny all over, dressed as a hunk. But it didn't complain like Willick, but the highlanders frowned, and obviously didn't like this environment.
Allen nodded: "Whether humans or swordsmen, it is difficult to march in such an environment. But the temperature in the plains is so high, when you reach Scarlet Melt, the environment is even more unfavorable for humans."
In the heart of the fire, I am afraid that the sword demon who loves heat and hates cold will take advantage of the field.
Originally that was their home court.
"There is movement," Bloy said suddenly. The highlander lay down on the ground and pressed his ears to the ground. After a while, he said: "About half a kilometer ahead, a group of people are coming in this direction."
"Hidden," Allen said.
Bloy frowned and said, "The sound has stopped, it seems to have stopped."
"Then let's go and see."
Fog is the best cover. People walk in it. If you don't come about ten meters away, it is difficult to determine whether it is a creature or a strange tree or stone. Allen and the three successfully arrived at a low hill. They lay on the ground and looked down. Under the hills is a small camp, and a team of about a dozen swordsmen is resting in a circle. At the edge of the camp, there are two horned wolves wandering around.
It's a pity that the fog obscured the keen sense of the horned wolf, and the Allen and the three were on the downwind again, not afraid to find the horned wolf.
In this team of Sword Demon, there are two crazy wolf knights, and the others are Sword Demon Warriors. The mad wolf knight wore well-made armor, and the armor styles worn by the two men were the same, and they were all standardized, and their equipment was up to a new level compared to the knights of the filthy-tooth tribe before. Behind the knights are all heavy spears. The heavy spears are made of fine iron. The spear tip is shiny and flowing, and it looks unusually sharp. It is naturally much better than the spear held by the dirty tooth knight.
As for the sword demon warriors, they also wore thin armor and carried double swords on their backs.
It is worthy of being a strong ten, and even a small team looks much better than those external equipment.
"It may be a scout team. They touched this place, not far from the outpost." Willick said.
Allen nodded: "It looks like this team has to be cleaned up. Bloy, leave the two knights to you. Willick, we are responsible for dealing with the others. Note, even the two horned wolves cannot be let go."
Without further ado, the three of them acted immediately.
This Sword Demon team set off early in the morning, and only then stopped to rest. Even the wolf knight was exhausted. The crazy horned wolf also lay on the ground to rest, suddenly the ears of the wolf stood up, and they heard footsteps. Then the smell of humans penetrated into the nose, before he had time to bark for warning, suddenly a blade of light broke through the air in the fog, hitting the big head of the horned wolf.
The two wolves hit their heads at the same time, soaring a blood arrow, the light in their eyes quickly dimmed.
Allen drew his sword and walked swiftly, passing through the wolf carcass, and rushing directly to the sword warriors in the camp.
The sword demon was frightened, and everyone bounced.
A loud shout came from the back of the camp, Willick jumped down from the hillside, the blazing glove wrapped in the faint blue flames, and slammed from the other side.
The two strongest mad wolf knights shot fierce light in their eyes, and when Yiqi struck a heavy spear behind him, he suddenly felt light and fluttering, and the world was spinning in his eyes. He suddenly realized that he was beheaded from behind!
The engraving of a fanatical fighter appeared on Bloy's forehead, with the momentum of beheading Yiqi. In the roar, holding an axe and attacking the remaining wolf riders.
The battle ended after 5 minutes.
The entire Sword Demon team was taken away by the three of them, and even the mount never escaped. After searching, apart from Broy's special interest in the heavy spear carried by the crazy wolf knight, there is no valuable trophy. There is not even a centurion in the team, so naturally there is no source of jade. So the three of them dragged the corpse to a hidden place, took a rest, and set off again.
After advancing for more than 40 kilometers this time, he finally arrived at the mission location designated by Lieutenant Cossa.
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the outline of a building appeared in the eyes of the three. This is an unexpected discovery, judging from the size of the outline, it is at least a sword demon station!
"The situation is a bit unusual, there is a Sword Demon Soldier station here?" Willick retracted his body, and the three of them hid in a row of strange trees and gathered together.
Allen nodded and said: "If there is a military station here, it means that the sword demon must have a plot against the shadow fortress. It seems that we have to go deeper to find out which tribe this military station belongs to, as well as the strength of the troops and the situation of the strong."
Concerning the Federal Army, Allen temporarily put aside the grievances between him and Rusen, and everything is focused on the overall situation.
"Let's go."
However, all three of them felt the situation was weird when entering the barracks.
The barracks were actually empty.
A circle of weak defensive walls was surrounded by sharpened wooden stubs. After entering the barracks, there was a camp covered with sand and stone, and a fire barrier made of stones was in the middle. There were piles of charred stones, bones, and trees that hadn't completely burnt down. It seemed that they were supposed to be used to make a fire at night. There is a tower made of earth and stone on the left and right of the camp, and there is a main building behind it. The main building is two stories high, with a bungalow on each side.
The size of the military station can be estimated to be able to accommodate at least two hundred people. That was the two centuries. It was self-evident that the sword demon's mind was to build a military station that could accommodate two centuries so close to the Yare Mountains.
Judging from the tribal flag hanging on the main building, this place belongs to the Ironshoe Tribe.
The only question is, where did the sword demon in the barracks go?
Allen made a gesture, and the three separated into the barracks. Willick and Broy drilled into the left and right bungalows, and ran out and shook their heads after a while. Willick said: "It's strange, there isn't even a ghost in it."
"But there are footprints on the ground. It seems that these two hundred-man teams should have left the barracks." Allen squatted on the ground, fiddled with the sand and rocks in the camp, and could distinguish the footprints of the swordsmen.
The warning sign suddenly came into being.
Allen felt a sudden chill behind him. Before thinking about it, he rolled to the left. In the fog outside the camp, a beam of light suddenly blasted and landed on Allen's place before blowing up a fireball. In the flames, Alan rolled out a few meters. Just bounced up, behind him, killing intent was awe-inspiring. He leaned forward and turned, his fangs came into his hands, just in time to see a few more beams of light in the fog.
The fangs slashed out with the source force, blasting the beam of light in the air. With the impact of the explosion, Allen slid back and shouted: "This is a trap, fast into the main building."
That was a building that could be used as a cover, and Allen and the three ran to the main building desperately. Behind the beams frequently shot, the camp exploded continuously, a piece of flying sand and rocks. The last beam hit the heels of the three, and the explosion drove them into the main building. Allen and Willick touched the ground and immediately rolled away. Bloy bounced up and closed the front door with a heavy axe.
As soon as the door was closed, Deng Deng Deng made a continuous muffled noise, and sharp arrows were nailed into the door in rows. Allen poked his head out in a window next to him, and saw many figures appearing in the fog outside the soldier's station, and the sword demon approached from all around, seemingly intending to surround the soldier's station.
They are like turtles in the urn, unless they have two wings on their backs, they will never escape.
The sword demon approaching from the front gate of the military station, five or six people in front of them are holding a strange-shaped firearm. The head of the gun is like a beast skull, and the barrel is protruding from the jaw teeth, and there is a thick tube at the back that connects to a device behind it. It looks like it should be the energy battery of this weapon. The previous energy beams should have come from the hands of these spear-wielding demons. Some other fighters carried a mechanical ballista similar to the revolver gun from their shoulders. There was another soldier in the rear that turned the axle wheel, and the sharp arrow of the ballista would be fired. The force was extraordinary enough to penetrate the golden travertine. .
The number of these ballistas was obviously much larger. They turned their muzzles to the main building outside the barracks, and then fired them all together, and the sound of the sharp arrow made a sharp whistling sound outside.
Allen hurriedly lowered his head, stuck to the corner with Willick and a few others, gathered up to protect himself. A sharp steel arrow shot in from the door, window and even the wall. After a round of bombardment, the main building's gate was shattered, and the ground walls were also filled with arrows. Although the three of them frustrated many crossbows due to the angle of avoidance, they also wiped out several wounds.
At this moment, a sword demon was yelling outside the barracks. Allen slightly probed and watched. The sword demon was wearing a sophisticated armor with tribal flags behind his back~EbookFREE.me~ Something like the centurion Allen had met before, but the source of strength was strong. Much more, at least there is a fifteenth or sixth grade. He held the short halberd, pointed it in the direction of the main building, and shouted non-stop.
The two of Willick didn't understand. Allen had used the translation robot before, but he understood.
The sword demon said: "Offensive! Offensive! Those are human scouts. Our team has already died in their hands. Now we have to keep these hateful creatures here, otherwise Master Duo Lei’s plan will It fell through."
It turned out that they had already noticed the whereabouts of the three of Allen.
Allen said in his heart, that these swordsmen must have unknown contact information, otherwise, how could they know that the team had an accident, let alone set up a trap in advance. I deliberately used the empty barracks to arouse the curiosity of the three of my own people, and waited for them to enter the barracks and then surrounded them from the outside to ensure that they could not escape. So there is no way to send information back to the outpost.
Another question is, what is the so-called Master Duo Lei's plan? r1058
