Arcade of Death

Chapter 358: Weird footprints

Views:

On the cold and lonely ice source wilderness, there is endless silvery white, like a snow curtain that has just opened. Yi Xuan and Yang Kai, with two teams of two hundred soldiers, are running wildly on the snow curtain, the horses are like flying. A few lines of fresh hoof prints were left on the snow. The ice and snow fragments splashed by the horses' hoofs formed a sky full of white fog, which envelops the marching cavalry, making it difficult to see the inside of the cavalry. The real situation.

"Hush" Yi Xuan stopped the silk rein of the silver horse, and suddenly stopped, the cavalry behind him stopped, and the whole team abruptly settled in place.

"What's the matter?" Yang Kai immediately leaned in and asked in a low voice. Based on his experience, Yi Xuan had discovered something again.

"Look at that."

Yang Kai followed Yi Xuan's hand and looked over. Through the gaps in the woods, he immediately saw a shadowy figure not far away. It seemed to be a moving convoy. This was the supply convoy of the Frost Troll, with a full five escorts. More than a dozen people, because of the burden of vehicles, so these people do not go very quickly.

"Look at the armors on their bodies." Yang Kai whispered to Yi Xuan, "This is not something that their primitive tribe can create." Yang Kai said as he pointed, "Look at the wide shoulders. There is a pattern on the breastplate, which is obviously the style of orc forging."

Yi Xuan didn’t know the forging style of the orcs. In his opinion, these people were only wearing pieces of iron bumps, huge shoulder spurs, and a whole piece of metal armor, which were fastened together with simple leather cords. If he is really on the battlefield, he doubts the sturdiness of these armors. As long as he cuts the leather cord, or picks up the cracks and stabs in, isn't it all gone? Is there a rule on the battlefield not to chop the rope or pierce the covered area without armor? But it's understandable when you think about it as a game. The armor in the game won't be broken as long as it lasts forever.

Although he didn't know it, since Yang Kai was the commander of the empire, it was normal for him to master this knowledge. Now it seems that since their armor is made by orcs, it means that these frost trolls and the people of the alliance are officially mixed together.

Yi Xuan nodded: "It seems that it's not just the players, even the Alliance military has also stepped in."

Yang Kai nodded, and said with concern: "It seems that our battle is going to be even harder."

"That's a must." Yi Xuan said briskly, "From the beginning, I never expected the Alliance to not intervene. You think you, the commander of the Northern Legion of the empire, since you can intervene in the affairs of the barbarians, then the Alliance How could the people of ??can't think of supporting their agents in the Wilderness of Ice Origin? In this land, the only people who can have barbarians fight the ring are the Frost Trolls."

Hearing what Yi Xuan said, Yang Kai felt a lot of peace of mind. Since Yi Xuan has already factored in the variables of the alliance, then he has made sufficient preparations for this, "Well, in that case, let's hurry up. Let's do it." After speaking, Yang Kai rushed towards the team of Frost Trolls.

Yi Xuan gave an order, and a hundred knights immediately turned silently. More than one hundred people were wearing uniform golden uniforms of the Knights of Light. This golden cloak fluttered in the wind, which looked like a golden wave from a distance. , It is really good-looking, accompanied by the scream of killing, the tide swept down.

At the same time, the one hundred cavalrymen under Yang Kai moved, but compared to the gorgeous uniforms of Yi Xuan's group, these imperial cavalrymen were much simpler. They all wore the imperial standard armor, although it was counted. Sophisticated, but nothing more.

These two cavalrymen immediately flooded the small convoy. The frost trolls who escorted the car were just ordinary troll warriors. Where did they stop the two hundred elite cavalrymen Yi Xuan and Yang Kai? .

They were all killed in the blink of an eye. As Yi Xuan saw, those heavy and crude armors did not exert much effect in the battle, as the battle ended. Everyone checked the results and checked the cargo on the car. Like the three transport teams intercepted before, most of the cars on the car were made up of supplies such as leather clothes and dried meat. The leather clothes were basically raw fur, and there was no style. Although jerky can be regarded as a ration, there are so many things that are heavy and difficult to carry.

After searching around, I didn’t say anything about gold and silver, not even a slightly decent weapon. "It seems that this troll has no family background," Yang Kai said disgustingly, and handed a piece of meat. Gan then threw it back into the car.

With the aid of the empire, the food for the barbarians is much better than this now, so these are of no use at all, and the command slows down their marching speed.

"What to do? These broken things again." Yang Kai asked Yi Xuan. Although he probably knew the answer, he almost instinctively waited for Yi Xuan to make decisions.

Yi Xuan looked at the dozens of vehicles and supplies. Although it was a pity, there was no way to "burn it as before." Yi Xuan said that he had commanded a knight to light a torch and began to burn the goods.

Although the loot could not be shipped back, Yi Xuan knew that in other respects, their gains were still great. This team was the fourth team they destroyed. Each team had fifty people. Counting this, they had killed more than two hundred troll warriors on the other side. Almost evened the gap in the number of barbarians and trolls. According to the merchant, this was pre-war attrition.

This can be said to be a big result. You must know that the total strength of the troll this time is less than one thousand. Wouldn't it be that the troll is almost dead if he comes back so many times.

Yi Xuan was happy in his heart, but he always felt that this success was so unreal. He couldn't help but looked at the corpses on the ground with some doubts, "Yang Kai, you said these trolls know that the battle is about to start, why do they have to disperse their forces like this? What transport convoy is escorted?"

"Materials have to be transported. I think this is normal." Yang Kai saw Yi Xuan's concern and comforted.

"Is it normal? Why do I always feel a little uneasy? Logically speaking, they wouldn't know that the strength of more than fifty men can't withstand large-scale attacks. Why don't these frost trolls gather and act together."

"Um." Yang Kai saw that Yi Xuan was thinking seriously, and stopped talking, anyway, compared with Yi Xuan, using his own brain is a weakness, so he didn't waste that brain cell at all. Yang Kai started to direct everyone to light the fire.

Yi Xuan looked at these Frost Trolls, although they were strange, but for now, it is true that people like him have neither encountered any ambushes nor suffered any losses, and the large troops have not moved in the camp, so they are not afraid of them. What kind of tactics came, so I didn't understand after thinking about going to Yi Xuan.

At this moment, a person galloped up on a horse not far away. This horse has strong legs and does not seem to have a low weight. Before Yi Xuan's knight ran with snow splashes, this one did not run at all. The hoof directly submerged several inches in the thousand years of snow, leaving solid footprints on the ground. Soon this person broke into the alert range on a ride, but the knight under Yi Xuan did nothing. It turned out that this person did not do anything. Is a barbarian warrior.

Far away from Yi Xuan and the others, he immediately began to shout: "The chief is not good, the big thing is not good." Yi Xuan's heart sighed after hearing these two sentences, and the other party should be afraid of what happens if it breaks. Isn't it true that he has given his big camp to Lianwo Duan? It stands to reason that it is impossible, not to mention where all the barbarians are stationed, even the player team will have enough for the opponent to drink a pot.

At this time, the man had come to the front, jumped off his horse with a thump, and bowed to Yang Kai respectfully, and then said: "Warchief, something is wrong, you go back quickly, something went wrong in the camp."

"Hurry up and tell me what happened to the camp?" Yi Xuan was already too anxious beside him, so he asked hurriedly.

"Yes, say it quickly." Yang Kai also added.

The man saw that the warchief was anxious. Before he could breathe his breath, he hurriedly said: "I. We, our transport convoy... was ambushed by... the frost troll... and suffered heavy losses. Four teams have been damaged."

Although it was accompanied by panting, Yi Xuan still understood, and immediately looked at Yang Kai, saying that you sent someone to deliver the supplies? I don't know that Yang Kai's expression is stranger than Yi Xuan's. He spread his hands and said, "How is it possible that I didn't send a team. Where did those transportation teams come from?"

Hearing what Yang Kai said, Yi Xuan's mind suddenly became clear. All his doubts just disappeared. No wonder the other party was so strange that he only sent fifty people and dared to deliver supplies. The feelings are the same as his own. They are all caused by the system. .

Patting Yang Kai on the shoulder, Yi Xuan smiled slightly and said, "It seems that compared with you, your barbarians are still more obedient to the system." It seems that this is just the system to maintain the realism of the war. And get things out.

Yang Kai probably understood it too, nodded, and said bitterly: "Then what should we do? It seems that it would be useless to kill again. Should we go back to the rescue? Or go back to the base camp?"

Yi Xuan shook his head as soon as he heard it, and said, "Going back is definitely going back, but it's not all. Now even if we go back right away, the time on the road is not short, the other party can at least kill one or two teams of our team. , When the time comes, we will lose out instead."

"Then what do you mean?"

"Well, I will take people back to rescue. With the strength of my team, no matter how strong the opponent is, it is certainly not a good one. Moreover, it is relatively close to the camp, and it is easy to move rescuers. You will take your people to continue interception. Of course you have to be careful. If the enemy is chasing you or feels invincible, you must not retreat and retreat immediately."

Yang Kai nodded, "Okay, then do as you said."

Yi Xuan made arrangements and immediately gave an order, and his team of Hundred Cavalry immediately galloped in the direction they came.

Although I’ve been fighting for a long time, because it’s a unit in the game, all the states are based on data, so as long as the fatigue value is not reached, the speed of these cavalry will be reduced at all, just like a whirlwind when they came. Scratched towards the barbarian camp, and soon returned to the barbarian's territory, Yi Xuan did not stop, and under the leadership of the messenger soldier, he rushed straight towards the road behind the camp.

In this way, about ten minutes later, they came to the place where the barbarian convoy was ambushed. They saw the corpses of barbarian soldiers and burning vehicles everywhere on the ground. The scene was more than Yi Xuan and the others killed the ice and snow trolls. The scene is even more tragic.

These barbarians were obviously killed by swords, and almost all of them were cut in two. The positions of these two segments were either decapitated or cut in the middle. There were even a few people who were cut in half by the middle. The ground was full of barbarians in half. And the flying intestine belly, looks very scary.

The Knights stopped in front of these corpses. Yi Xuanfei jumped off the horse and circled around twice. The more he checked, the frown became tighter. Most of the footprints on the ground were left by barbarians. There are hardly many other footprints, so who killed these savages

It should be understood that although these barbarians are just ordinary soldiers and their combat effectiveness is relatively weak, they still have thousands of HP, and they will be killed in a second, which really surprised Yi Xuan.

After checking for a while, suddenly, a peculiar footprint caught Yi Xuan's attention. The footprints that had been trampled on the snow were a bit messy, but the footprints were very clear. There was no other reason. The footprints collapsed very deeply. .

Although it is deep, it does not look like a normal human footprint. This footprint is about the same length as a barbarian's sole, but it has no toes. There is a horizontal dent in the front of the footprint and a slightly narrow dent in the back. The mark, if it weren't because the two marks were connected, would look more like a footprint or hoof mark, and Yi Xuan might have overlooked it.

This imprint looks like a "two" pattern printed in the snow. Yi Xuan walked around the footprint and couldn't help but froze. Who left this? How do these footprints look so weird.

Looking around, most of them were trampled on by the savages' footprints. The only thing that can be seen is that the number of these footprints is not large. Looking ahead, there are two lines of these lines outside the barbarian's battlefield. Yi Xuan's footprint stretched out into the distant forest. Yi Xuan walked a few steps quickly to the front of the single trace. That's right, this unique'two'-shaped imprint is absolutely not wrong. If you look at this line of footprints, the other party is actually There is only one person.

One person killed an entire barbarian caravan. It seems that this guy is a bit fierce, maybe he is still a hero, and I don’t know what it came from.

The battle is just around the corner, and there is such a fierce NPC in the opposing army. It seems that Yi Xuan absolutely must pay attention to it. Fortunately, the footprints in the snow are very clear. Yi Xuan followed for a while, and an idea grew in his heart secretly, taking advantage of the opponent's single-handedly. Maybe you can take this opportunity to kill him when you are, otherwise you will be on the battlefield. Such a strong hero doesn't know how much it will cost.

Thinking of this, Yi Xuan turned on his horse again, followed the footprints and chased it out. Under his instruction, the knight behind him walked slowly and carefully, trying not to make too much movement, so as not to startled the snake.

After walking a certain distance like this, all of a sudden, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and Yi Xuan raised his head, but in front of him was a dense forest with tall trees blocking the already slanting sunlight.

This forest is obviously not suitable for the Knights to enter. These trees will become the biggest obstacle to the cavalry's actions. Therefore, Yi Xuan stood in front of the forest and hesitated for a while, chasing or not chasing? If you chase, you obviously don't have much advantage in this dense forest, but if you don't chase, it is equivalent to letting the other party continue to intercept and kill the barbarians' convoy, which will affect the strength of the two sides when they officially enter the battlefield tomorrow.

After thinking about it, Yi Xuan decided to let the knights stay behind, and took a few people in to investigate. Anyway, there is only one person on the other side. Although his strength is strong, his strength is not weak, and he will not be afraid of him for a while. With a few elite guards, even if they can't win, it should be enough to delay for a while or lead him out of the dense forest.

Thinking of this, Yi Xuan pointed to the people behind him: "You, you, you, and you, you guys dismount and follow me, and the others stay on standby."

The few that Yi Xuan spotted were all heavy armored guard knights, one by one with iron armor, a steel shield in one hand, and a mace in the other. At first glance, they looked like a rough-skinned type. This heavy armored guard knight is worth 4000. The blood volume of, is relatively strong in the Knights of the Light, and if they can't beat it, they can be used as a shield wall to resist for a while.

The four heavy armored knights jumped off the ground and followed Yi Xuan faithfully, and then Yi Xuan walked into the forest.

Follow the footsteps all the way forward, and the surrounding area gets darker as you go. The dense woods block the sun, making the surroundings look gloomy even in broad daylight.

The sound of the wind was blowing the treetops, with whistling noises from time to time. Yi Xuan just walked along the footprints. Suddenly, he vaguely heard a creaking sound. It was the sound of snow being stepped on. The sound was not small, even though A certain distance away, but still overwhelming the footsteps of Yi Xuan and others, it is very likely that he was the owner of the deep footprint just now.

"It looks like I'm going to catch up!" Yi Xuan was overjoyed and motioned everyone to lighten their feet. He ran forward and chased him. Suddenly, there was a burst of light in front of him. A small forest clearing appeared in front of him, just before entering the open space For a moment, Yi Xuan felt that a figure flashed by in front of him, but when he was about to chase, Yi Xuan lowered his head but was surprised to find that the footprints were missing.

Damn, what's the situation
