Chapter 686: The ubiquitous ‘ant’ (one/four)

Just like the east side of the Withered Plain, the west side is also a mountain range. The terrain here is undulating, and it looks like a lake wrinkled by the breeze from a distance.
The power of the of war here is very weak. The power of the goddess of night dominates almost everything here. Darkness fills every corner of this place. A large number of demons gather in the mountains. The number of lower demons is uncountable, and there are no more high demons. It's rare, let's go everywhere, you can run into at least one wave if you walk more than ten kilometers.
Obviously, the danger here is very, very dangerous. The Holy Spirit fighters are very aware, but there is a saying: The greater the risk, the higher the possible benefit.
In other words, if you want to gain supreme glory, you must complete the most difficult tasks.
Therefore, there is no shortage of ambitious Sun City mercenaries in this mountain.
In the eyes of the goddess of the night, these ridiculously small ants are simply lunatics. They are everywhere. Even the shadows of these dogs can be seen in the dung piles of the abyssal giant beasts of the Doomsday Volcano, because these giant beasts' dung may be Took out some hapless undigested battle armor! This armor can be sold for money.
"What a sad group of lunatics!" The goddess of the night did not bother to deal with these insects, because they were everywhere, and they were dirty and smelly, covered with disgusting feces, and they found her eyes dirty.
Although the mercenaries were described as very unbearable by the goddess of the night, it was these fearless warriors who were driven by profits that built the first line of defense against the dark soldiers in the west of Sun City.
At this time, on a steep cliff on the edge of the mountain, the Flowing Fire Mercenary Corps took a strange risk to conduct an ambush mission.
Performing tasks in such a deep place, the rewards are naturally very high. Among the rewards, there are two time slowing scrolls, one space shock scroll, a set of active battle guards of the God of War, and an artifact customized by the God of War for you. Finally there are fifty amethyst coins.
In order to reduce mission risk. For the teams that dared to enter the mountains to perform tasks, the God of War also gave a hidden scroll to ensure that the mercenary group would not be discovered by the goddess of the night within ten hours.
For this reward, head Grensen gritted his teeth. Bringing the elite members of his mercenary group came over.
They waited here for most of the day, and finally waited for their opponent.
Behind the cliff, head Grensen quietly appeared, looking at the dark army snaking under the cliff, frowning: "The situation is getting more and more tense. It seems that the war is not far away."
The number of troops under the cliff is not large, only more than 130 people, but its members are all Highland Balrogs. Highland Balrog is a high-level demon. In addition to the general physical advantages of abyssal creatures, they are also very good at using fire. All his attacks are accompanied by extremely difficult flame toxins. Once poisoned, they will feel the internal organs, muscles and bones. It was like being burned on a fire, but couldn't die for a while, the pain was extreme.
What's more terrifying is. The flame power of these Balrogs is very condensed, with a terrible divine power. If ordinary Holy Spirit fighters are not equipped with special fire protection equipment, they will not be able to resist its fire poison, and they will be poisoned and lose their combat power when they fight with them. This poison is impossible to dispel.
The poisoned warrior will scream inhumanly because of extreme pain. If the gods in the team don't disperse him, he will scream until death. This process will last for more than half an hour. Extremely affect the military spirit.
But gods are the core force in the team. Once distracted to drive poison, the combat power of the entire team will be greatly reduced, and the threat to the enemy will also be sharply reduced. There will be more casualties in the team. Under such a vicious circle, it will definitely lead to failure in the end, and it may even be possible for the team to be killed completely, and even the gods cannot escape.
Such an example has happened several times before, Kwang Grenson knew. At least three mercenary groups were destroyed under the attack of the Highland Balrog. They all encountered unexpectedly without any preparation. Then the whole team was killed, and no one was spared.
Therefore, if the Holy Spirit Warriors were not fully prepared, they would definitely not provoke this kind of flame demon, because it was no different from seeking one's own death.
In the past, there were only one or two such Balrogs, and no more than ten at most. Now they appear in hundreds, and Grensen also heard that a large number of high-level demons have appeared in other places. He knew that the real battle was about to break out.
Of course, the outbreak of the war is something later, before the outbreak of the war, their natural gods have to do everything possible to weaken the opponent's power.
These highland balrogs are too terrifying. If they are dispersed into the battlefield, under the cover of other demons, they are a very terrifying force. It is rare that they are so concentrated and discovered by the of war scouts, so there is this rich reward ambush task.
Seeing that these Balrogs were about to enter the attack range, Grensen quietly made a gesture behind his back, meaning to be ready!
A priest lightly took out a scroll with chills. This scroll came from Lady Lomisa, the goddess of winter. It was an auxiliary scroll for the higher group. Grensen bought it for two amethyst coins and was specially restrained. The fire poison of this highland Balrog!
Without this scroll, this battle could not be fought at all.
Other fighters also prepared.
The archers put their arrows on their bows. Their arrows are also specially made, with winter runes painted on the tips of the arrows, and the cavity of the arrows is filled with ice holy water.
This is the Frost Burst Arrow, a special arrow made by Sun City. Once an arrow passes, even if it fails to hit the opponent, the power of ice in it will explode. At the same time, the cold air contained in the ice holy water will be around three times. Everything within the meter range turns into a frost field.
The swordsmen took out the ice inscription stone and began to draw ice runes on their swords and armor.
These ice runes are simplified and quick version, made by the of war and the goddess of winter. Although the effect is not as strong as the authentic one, it is very simple and fast. Ordinary holy spirit fighters can draw successfully using special inscription stones with a little training.
The power of these runes is about half that of the full version, and the duration is about one hour. Within the time of action, they can basically weaken the power of fire poison by 80%, and reduce the pain of fire poison invasion to the point where the soldiers can bear. .
This is a compromise solution that takes care of the effect and cost, and is very suitable for mercenary groups like Grensen.
Among the warriors who draw runes, there is a young female warrior. She has a pair of apricot eyes especially beautiful in her appearance, and her eyes are as clear as gems, but her eyes are very firm and her face is calm. She has a pair of heroic sword eyebrows. In the feminine beauty, students add a lot of sharpness.
She draws the runes very quickly, in one go, and the strokes of the runes are uniform, and the ice power on them is stable and balanced. At a glance, the effect is excellent.
When other people only finished 70% the fastest, she had already finished drawing. After finishing, she held the sword in her hand in a very peculiar position, her eyes half closed and half open, the whole person's breath seemed as if there was nothing. It's like disappearing out of thin air.
While Grensen was observing the opponent, he occasionally glanced at the female warrior from the corner of his eye, and saw that she was already preparing for battle, and a moment of relief flashed in his heart.
This soldier is called Jasmine. He joined his mercenary group two months ago. When he first joined, he seemed very ordinary. He just took on some common tasks and earned some small rewards. He just knew that there were such things in his group. Only one member.
But she quickly emerged and worked with several team members to complete some medium-sized tasks. She played a key role in these tasks. Because of these outstanding performances, Grenson also paid close attention to her formally.
The most important thing for a mercenary group is talent. Outstanding people are welcome wherever they go. Although the strength of this Jasmine at this time was only the legendary middle-level, and absolute strength was not dominant, Grensen still promoted her to an elite member and gave her the best treatment in the regiment.
This Jasmine didn't let him down either. As long as the tasks assigned to her, she always accomplished the best, her character was cautious and her thinking was strict. But at critical times, there is no lack of adventurous spirit and often amazing performance.
Therefore, in this ambush that only veteran elite members of the Flowing Fire Mercenary Group can participate in, Grenson brought her with an exception, and her current performance made him very satisfied.
The mercenaries moved cautiously. There was no movement. The highland Balrogs under the cliff didn't notice anything abnormal. These big guys, nearly three meters tall, were advancing in disorder among the mountains. You push me, I punch you and knock. Bump. From time to time, there were several low roars. The flame tentacles on their backs were entangled with each other from time to time. At this time, the two Balrogs would collide and fight together like no one else.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Balrog, this is just ordinary squabbling, but in the eyes of the soldiers, these guys' fighting power is unbelievable. With a random punch, they will break the air and make a'crackling' explosion, those burning flames. The temperature of his tentacles was astonishingly high. Only one hundred and thirty Balrogs gathered together. They were separated from the Balrogs by at least 500 meters, and they could still feel a wave of heat mixed with a strong smell of sulfur. I can clearly feel that the exposed hair turns yellow and curls, and it turns out to be scorched.
This distance can have such a huge power, I really don't know what kind of terrible situation it looks like in close combat.
"It's no wonder that the mercenary group will be destroyed because of the Balrog. This is really terrifying." Grensen felt a little cold, but he immediately thought of rewards.
Below the cliff, the Balrog team quickly became utterly disgusting. The team in the team had the thickest flame tentacles and the darkest flame color. The strongest Balrog roared loudly and his authority was extremely strong. After a roar, the entire team will immediately restore order ~EbookFREE.me~ But after a while, the team will naturally start to chaos, and then the Balrog screams again, like a cycle, it looks messy.
Grensen looked at these savage creatures with contempt in his eyes: "If these ghosts hadn't been born with powerful bodies, with this low combat literacy, the hundred elite members behind me could definitely wipe out ten times the number of themselves. Balrog!"
Of course, Grensen also knows that although the Dark Warriors are not good at cooperating in battle, they have terrifying attack awareness and fighting instincts. Each one is very difficult to deal with. Once they get close, their attacks will be like crazy. After dying endlessly, after a burst of rapid and fierce storming, the first to collapse is usually the Holy Spirit Warrior.
It is estimated that only the elite War God Guards of Sun City can resist these advanced dark warriors head-on.
After about a minute or so, the Balrogs finally entered the ambush circle of the Flowing Fire Mercenary Group. Grenson clenched a fist with one hand and slammed at the Balrog.
attack! (To be continued.)
