Ares carried a long gun and trotted through the dense woods. A strong wind blew by, and sparse fallen leaves were scattered in the sky. Alles looked up at the Warren Mountain not far away, and cursed in a low voice. After a few words, he turned to greet the 150 soldiers following him: "Run faster, Cindy, Cantelli said that as long as we can climb that mountain, everyone will have 1 gold coin. reward."
"Pu Chi, Pu Chi..." A soldier behind Ales kept breathing heavily and said intermittently: "Captain... I really... I really... really can't run... I can't run anymore... Why don't we rest... take a rest." "
"Yes, yes." The surrounding soldiers shouted together. They had been running continuously in the lush woods for more than ten minutes. The sky was covered with dark clouds tonight and the visibility was very poor. They could not light torches and run. It was really hard to get up.
"Shut the hell up." Ales cursed loudly, "I want the people on the mountain to hear me."
A soldier whispered: "Your voice is as loud as a group of us, so please keep it down."
Ales didn't hear these words. He felt a little tired, so he stopped running and cursed: "What the hell, why is it our turn? Okay, everyone, take a rest to avoid rushing." I couldn’t even pick up the guy when I went up there.”
The soldiers cheered in low voices and groped for a place to lie down. The whole forest was suddenly in chaos. Alles cursed a few times and gave up after seeing that the situation was under control. In fact, this is not his fault. and his squadron, the main reason is because of Cindy, most of the soldiers under Commander Cantelli are farmers who have just been recruited for a few months, and Senat has insufficient manpower and resources, and did not conduct strict training on them, but simply Let people teach them the most basic things, and then distribute a batch of old weapons to them. As for the defensive armor, only those at the level of squadron leader Ales can wear half a pair of leather armor.
Ales stretched his body as much as possible and lay in a big shape on the ground. The trees in the forest could no longer completely cover the sky due to the fallen leaves in autumn, but even if there were sparse gaps exposed, it was still dark inside the forest. Even if It’s hard to see clearly even if you put your hands in front of your face.
"Hey, the commander said that if any of our squadrons is the first to charge forward, he will be rewarded with 200 gold coins. People will definitely die in the war. By then, there will be dozens of 150 people in my squadron dead, and I will be alone. If I send one to them, wouldn't I be able to get... It's 40 or 50, damn, what is that, the sun?"
Ares was looking forward to stuffing a lot of jingling gold coins into his pocket. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. A group of red light appeared in front of him, and the surrounding temperature immediately began to rise. In Alles' mind One last thought emerged uncontrollably: "I haven't been lying down for long, why did the sun come out?"
"Boom." A large group of red light burst out in the woods at the foot of Talon Mountain, and the huge roar suddenly broke the silent night. Under the scorching heat, Ales and his resting soldiers were in a short space of time. It turned into ashes in a few seconds, and the trees where they were standing also burst into flames.
Under the strong firelight, billowing smoke rose into the sky, and the remains of countless corpses were intertwined with branches, flying in all directions. When the smoke dissipated, a 2-person figure had appeared where Ales and others were. There was a large pit over a meter deep, and around the pit, a large number of trees fell outwards. The fires on the ground and on the tree trunks were still extinguishing vigorously, and the squadron that was resting here just now had been completely destroyed.
"Enemy attack." About 500 meters away from here, Cindy, soldiers from another squadron sent by Cantelli let out a miserable cry, but under the huge roar in the distance, this cry could not be transmitted at all. When they went out, they were completely suppressed, and the soldiers who had no training at all were also in a mess. Many of them dropped their weapons almost immediately, turned around and ran in the direction they came from.
"Ah." A soldier who was escaping suddenly let out a scream. I don't know when a stone pillar protruded from the ground, and the tip of the stone pillar just penetrated the lower abdomen of Senat's recruit. Unprepared, his body was pierced by sharp stone pillars on the spot.
Severe pain came, and the soldier wanted to struggle to climb down from the stone pillar, but his body no longer had any strength. The only thing he could do was to scream, as if this was the only way to relieve the pain on his body. With this The soldier's screams became weaker and weaker, and blood kept flowing out of his wound like a stream, and soon it became a large area red.
The screams of the dying soldier seemed to have released a certain signal. On the road where the group of defeated soldiers fled, the soil that was originally very soft because it was covered with fallen leaves began to arch upwards. Each arch took a few seconds. Then a sharp stone pillar will tear open the ground and rise quickly from the ground.
After the stone pillar rose several meters above the ground, it stopped moving. After the stone pillar lasted for a few minutes, it would turn into soil and fall to the ground. The corpse impaled on it would also fall to the ground, but the nearby ground would quickly fall to the ground. A new stone pillar will rise and continue to attack the enemy.
"Ah, ah." Screams kept coming one after another. On the way these Senat recruits fled, stone pillars suddenly rose up one after another, ruthlessly taking away the living lives. These were in chaos. The soldiers of the regiment had completely lost their fighting spirit. They were running in vain like headless flies, but they could not avoid the sudden stone pillars on the ground.
However, within a radius of several hundred meters, these stone pillars rose up, turned into soil, and rose again. The screams of Senat's defeated recruits became less and less, and became weaker and weaker. Soon, the woods The original calmness returned to the place, with only the sound of blood constantly flowing, and the stumps and broken arms scattered on the ground silently narrating the tragic scene that had just happened in the woods.
Cindy, who was drinking ale in the rear and looking forward to defeating all the enemies in one fell swoop, Cantelli suddenly collapsed to the ground. The two squadrons of 300 people under his command were wiped out in just a few minutes, and it seemed that there were no enemies at all. Didn't engage the enemy in close combat,
"This, this... what is this." Cindy, Cantelli stammered. He stretched out his hand to drink the spilled glass of ale, but his hands kept shaking. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't. He couldn't put the wine glass to his mouth. One of the soldiers beside him was quite brave. Although he was frightened half to death by the destruction of the vanguard just now, he saw that his commander wanted to drink and actually came over to help him put the wine glass together. When it reached his mouth, Cindy, Cantelli drank the small half glass of ale in one big gulp.
After drinking the ale, Cindy, Cantelli's courage seemed to have regained some. He gasped for breath and suddenly shouted: "Withdraw the troops, let's leave this damn place, what military glory, fuck it, I still have it." If you don’t want to die, let’s wait until reinforcements arrive tomorrow.”
