Moses led ten soldiers at the front of the team. They stood in a straight line, about 5 meters apart from each other. Everyone held the spear in their hands tightly and searched forward slowly. The ground was wet. The air is very heavy, and one step often leads to a deep pit. However, the weather has been very good in the past few days, so the road is not very slippery, and it is not very difficult to walk up.
About 20 meters behind Moses, 10 warriors wearing armor were struggling to move forward. There was a clenched fist mark on the chest of these warriors' armor. This was a unique mark of Iron Fist Castle. These warriors were Vivian's personal guards, their armors are very protective, but the weight of the armor also makes them suffer when walking in such swamps.
These 10 Iron Fist Castle guards naturally formed a small semicircular circle, surrounding Ryan, Adela, Rochelde, and Barbara in the center, and the semicircular circle In the second half, there are 10 archers. In this position, they can provide remote support to any member of the entire team. Walking at the end are the other 10 warriors brought by Moses. Each of them holds a shield so that they can be ready at any time. Can cope with sudden attacks,
In the four directions of the entire team, the figures of scouts can be vaguely seen. At Ryan's request, these scouts are all within the sight of the main force. The distance of less than 100 meters can get the information of the main force as soon as possible after they are attacked. Support to avoid unnecessary sacrifices. Although this would make it easier for the large team to fall into the enemy's pre-arranged trap, Ryan still persisted in issuing this order.
Ryan and his party have been in the cursed swamp for a full hour now. What makes them strange is that the terrifying monsters in the legend have not appeared at all. Apart from the fact that the ground is not easy to walk on, they have not encountered any trouble at all. Ryan is thinking in his heart After some estimation, they had walked almost 10 kilometers in this hour, and they should have arrived at the place where Pastor Rocheld had arrived. Just as he was about to ask, he heard the rapid chirping of birds directly in front of him.
Ryan knew that many mercenaries liked to use certain animal sounds when transmitting information. The sound just now was obviously made by the scout in front of him. Ryan had not studied it before, so he didn't know what the sound just meant. But Moses, who was walking at the front of the team, immediately gave the order to stop advancing.
"Mr. Fabia, the scouts ahead found traces of a battle." Moses came to Ryan's side in a few steps and said, "What should we do now."
Ryan did not reply to Moses immediately, but turned his head to Pastor Rocheld. Rocheld thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's the place where we fought before. They are almost all the same around here. It's hard for me to tell the difference. Is it around there?"
"The main force is on standby, Moses. Let's go over and take a look." Ryan gave the order.
Soon, the large army formed a simple defensive position. Adela sat in the center and took over the command, while Ryan led Moses, Rocheld, Barbara and two guards slowly towards He walked over to where the scout was in the distance, and when he reached the vicinity, Pastor Rocheld shouted excitedly: "This is it, yes, this is it."
Rocheld pointed to the east and said: "This is a relatively dry place, so we chose to rest here at that time, but several poisonous spiders suddenly appeared from there, and we lost two sentries by surprise. , but finally killed the spider."
"Don't be so excited, Rocheld." Ryan said, "Speak slowly, we are all listening."
Ryan's words made Rocheld calm down. He scratched his hair in embarrassment and said with shame: "Well, the teacher said that my concentration is too poor. I'm still a little unconvinced. You see, I can't do anything when I encounter something." Will get excited, haha, well, there were many people who were poisoned by spider venom at that time, but most of them were cured by my magic. Only a few were too poisoned and could not be treated in time. I am not a cardinal, and I am not that powerful. The resurrection technique."
"It's okay, let's go and take a look." Ryan gently patted Rocheld on the shoulder and walked towards the scout.
"Lord Fabia, please look here." The scout pointed at his feet and said: "There are traces of the battle, broken arrow shafts, and the remains of some kind of creature. There are green corrosion marks on the ground. It should be some kind of drama. poison."
Ryan nodded. What the scouts described was similar to what Pastor Rocheld told. It seemed that the level of the scouts trained by Nancy was pretty good.
"Pastor, can you recall which spiders came from which direction?" Moses asked Rocheld,
"Well... I can only tell you that the direction they first appeared was from the east. I don't know the rest."
"Then you didn't search afterward?" Ryan asked,
"No, because everyone was attracted by the wave emerald and moved on after taking a short rest."
Ryan nodded, turned to Moses and said, "Let's look for the spider's cave first."
Before Moses had time to answer, he heard the scout send out a sharp whistle, which was a warning sound of an enemy attack.
Everyone immediately turned their attention to the direction from which the whistle came. A rolling and crawling figure of a scout came into view. Moses looked at the scout trained by Nancy with a livid face, wishing he could beat him severely. This was simply an embarrassment to the Sword and Rose Mercenary Group, but the next thing that appeared in everyone's field of vision made Moses have no other thoughts. He drew out his sword with a swipe, prepared for battle, and shouted a reminder Adela, who stayed behind with the main force, asked her to be careful.
Ryan looked at the big guy following the scout in amazement, a huge spider that stood half as tall as a man. Its eight thick legs were almost as thick as an adult man's thighs, and it looked hairy all over. People watching feel uncomfortable all over.
"Ah, teacher, hurry up and save him." Barbara, who was standing behind Ryan, grabbed the hem of Ryan's clothes nervously and shouted. Ryan turned his head and smiled at her, and then softly recited a string of magic spells. He cast a spell and directed a blue lightning bolt at the spider's lower abdomen.
The lightning hit the spider accurately. The spider made a strange cry, abandoned the chasing scout, turned to Ryan and rushed over.
"Stay back and let me come." Moses raised the sword in his hand and was about to go forward, but his movements were fast, and Ryan's speed was faster than him. Moses only felt something flying past him, and he was determined to Looking around, he was immediately frightened. It turned out that what just flew past him was a scorching fireball.
