In the Aleks Plain, where the hot air rises from the ground and meets the cold air in the air, it turns into a mist that covers the entire plain. There is only a hurricane canyon between here and the crimson melted land where the center of the raging fire is. The temperature is not low, and it doesn't feel the coldness that winter should have. On the contrary, because of the rising fog, walking in it is like shuttling through the humid and hot tropical rainforest, which is very uncomfortable.
The three of Allen stood out from the sentry post, went deep to the southeast, and traveled hundreds of miles a day. At noon that day, it was already very close to the mission location. In the misty mist, the unnamed strange trees standing on the plain are like ghost shadows, confusing sight and making it difficult for people to determine the direction on the plain.
It is wrong that the field locator in the hands of Allen and others has a precise longitude and latitude positioning system. I am afraid that the three of them will lose their way if they turn around here for too long.
"It's like a super-large sauna here." Willick wiped the water droplets produced by the accumulation of mist on his face, and said uncomfortable.
Bloy took off his shirt early, was naked from the upper body, dragged a heavy ax in his hand, his whole body was oily and smooth, and he had a naked appearance. But he didn't complain like Willick, but the highlander frowned, obviously he didn't like this environment either.
Allen nodded: "Whether humans or sword demons, it is difficult to march in such an environment. But the temperature of the plain is so high, and the environment is even more unfavorable to humans in the Scarlet Molten Land."
In the center of the raging fire, I am afraid that the sword demon who likes heat and hates cold will occupy the field even more.
It was originally their home field.
"There is movement." Bloy suddenly said, the highlander lay down on the ground, put his ear on the ground, and said after a while, "About half a kilometer ahead, there is a group of people coming in this direction."
"Hidden." Allen said.
Bloy frowned and said, "The sound stopped, it seemed to have stopped."
"Then let's go and see."
The mist is the best cover. When people walk in it, if they don't get around ten meters away, it is difficult to determine whether it is a living thing or a strange tree or rock. The three of Allen arrived at a low hill smoothly, and they lay down on the ground and looked down. There is a small camp under the hill, and a squad of about ten sword demons is resting in a circle. At the edge of the camp, there are two horned wolves prowling around.
It's a pity that the fog blurred the keen sense of the horned wolf, and the three of Alan were downwind again, not afraid of being discovered by the horned wolf.
In this team of sword demons, there are two wolf knights, and the others are sword demon warriors. The mad wolf knight was wearing well-made armor, and the two armors were of the same style, both of which were standard. Compared with the knights of the Dirty Fang tribe seen before, the equipment was on a higher level. Behind the knights are all heavy spears. The heavy spears are made of fine iron, and the luster of the tip of the spears is flowing, which looks abnormally sharp. It is naturally much better than the spears held by the dirty tooth knights.
As for those sword demon warriors, they also wore thin armor and carried double swords on their backs.
As expected of the ten powerful divisions, even a small team seems to be much better equipped than those outside.
"It might be a reconnaissance team. They found this place, not far from the outpost." Willick said.
Allen nodded: "It seems that this team must be cleaned up. Bloy, the two knights are handed over to you. Willick, we are responsible for dealing with the others. Be careful, even the two horned wolves must not be spared."
Without further ado, the three 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 horned wolf was also lying on the ground
Resting on the ground, suddenly the ears of wolves stood up, and they heard footsteps. Then the smell of humans penetrated into the nose, and before it could bark for warning, suddenly a knife light pierced through the air in the fog, hitting the horned wolf's head.
The two wolves were stabbed in the head at the same time, and a bloody arrow shot up, and the light in their eyes quickly dimmed.
Allen dragged his knife and sprinted, passed between the wolf corpses, and rushed directly to the sword demon warriors in the camp.
The sword demon was frightened, and everyone jumped up.
A shout came from behind the camp, and Willick jumped down from the hillside, wrapping his fiery gauntlet with faint blue flames, and killed him from the other side.
The eyes of the two strongest wolf knights shot fiercely, and when Yiqi touched the heavy spear behind him, he suddenly felt light and light, and the world was spinning in his eyes. He suddenly realized that he had been beheaded from behind!
The inscription of a fanatical fighter lit up on Broy's forehead, with the aura of beheading a knight. With a loud roar, he held an ax and attacked the remaining wolf riders.
The battle ends after 5 minutes.
The entire sword demon team was taken away by three people, and even the mounts did not escape. After searching, apart from Bloy's special interest in the heavy spear carried by the wolf knight, there is no valuable spoils. There is not even a centurion in the team, so naturally there is no source of jade. So the three of them dragged the body to a hiding place, took a rest, and set off again.
This time, after advancing for more than 40 kilometers, it finally arrived at the mission site designated by Lieutenant Coza.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the outline of a building appeared in the eyes of the three. This was an unexpected discovery. Judging from the size of the outline, it was at least a sword station!
"The situation is a bit unusual. There is actually a sword and demon soldier station here?" Willik 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 plans for the Shadow Fortress. It seems that we have to go deeper and find out which tribe this military station belongs to, as well as the strength of the troops and the situation of the strong, etc. "
Regarding the federal army, Allen temporarily put aside the grievances with Lu Sen, and put the overall situation first.
"Let's go."
However, when they entered the military depot, all three of them felt that the situation was strange.
The military depot was empty.
A weak defensive wall was surrounded by sharpened wooden stakes. After entering the military depot, there was a camp paved with sand and gravel, and a fire zone made of stones was in the middle. There are piles of charred stones, bones, and not yet completely burnt twigs inside, and it looks like it should be used for lighting a fire at night. There is a sentry tower made of earth and stone on the left and right sides of the camp, and there is a main building behind it. The main building is two storeys high, with a bungalow on each side.
The size of the military station can be speculated that it can accommodate at least two hundred people. That is two centurions. It is self-evident that the knife demon has built a depot that can accommodate two centurions so close to the Yale Mountains.
Judging from the tribal flag hanging above the main building, this place belongs to the Ironhoof Tribe.
The only question is, where did the sword demon in the military depot go
Allen made a gesture, and the three of them sneaked into the military depot separately. Willick and Bloy went into the bungalows on the left and right, and rushed out after a while shaking their heads. Willick said: "It's strange, there isn't even a ghost inside."
"But there are footprints on the ground. It seems that the two centurions should have left the military depot." Allen squatted on the ground, fiddled with the sand and stones in the camp, and could distinguish the footprints of each sword demon.
The warning signs came suddenly.
Allen felt a sudden chill behind his back, before he could think about it, he rolled to the left. In the fog outside the camp, a beam of light suddenly bombarded, landed on the position in front of Allen, and exploded a fireball. In the flames, Allen rolled a few meters away. As soon as he bounced up, there was a killing intent behind him. He leaned forward and turned, his fangs in his hand, just in time to see several more beams of light coming from the mist.
The fangs slashed out with the source force, blasting the light beam from the air. With the impact of the explosion, Allen slid back and shouted: "This is a trap, go into the main building."
It was a building that could be used as a cover, and the three of Allen ran desperately to the main building. The beams from the back radiated frequently, and the camp continued to explode, flying sand and rocks. The last beam hit the three people's heels, and the explosion threw them into the main building. Allen and Willick landed on the ground and immediately rolled away to the left and right. Bloy jumped up, and closed the front door of the building with the heavy axe.
As soon as the gate was closed, there was a continuous muffled sound, and sharp arrows were nailed into the gate in rows. Allen poked his head out of a window next to him, and saw figures appearing in the mist outside the military station, and sword demons approaching from all around, apparently intending to surround the military station.
They are like turtles in a urn, unless they have two wings on their backs, they will never escape.
The sword demon approached from the main entrance of the military station, and five or six people in front were holding a strange-shaped gun. The head of the gun is like a beast's skull, and the barrel protrudes from the jaws. There is a thick tube at the back that connects to a device behind it. It seems to be the energy battery of this weapon or something. The previous energy beams should have come from the hands of these gun-wielding demons. There are also some soldiers who have a mechanical ballista similar to a rotary machine gun mounted on their shoulders, and another soldier behind them turns the shaft wheel, and the arrows of the ballista will be fired continuously, with extraordinary power, enough to pierce gold travertines .
The number of these crossbowmen was obviously much larger. They turned their cannon muzzles to the main building outside the military depot, and then fired together, and the sound of sharp arrows piercing the air caused a sharp whistling sound outside.
Allen quickly lowered his head, stuck to the corner with Willick and the others, and huddled up to protect himself. Sharp steel arrows shot in from the door, window and even the wall. After a round of bombardment, the gate of the main building was shattered, and many arrows were inserted into the ground and walls. Although the three of them missed many crossbow arrows due to the angle of avoidance, they also got several wounds on each of them.
At this time, a sword demon outside the military station was yelling. Allen looked up slightly, the sword demon was wearing a set of fine armor, with the tribal flag on his back. It's a bit like the centurion Alan met before, but the aura of Yuanli is much stronger, at least there is a young master of the fifteenth or sixteenth level. Holding a short halberd, he pointed in the direction of the main building, barking non-stop.
The two of Willick couldn't understand it, but Alan had used the translation robot before, but he understood it.
The sword demon said: "Attack! Attack! Those are human scouts, and our team has already died in their hands. Now we must keep these hateful creatures here, otherwise Master Dolei's plan will be destroyed. It fell through."
It turned out that they had already noticed the whereabouts of the three of Allen.
Allen thought to himself, thinking about it this way, these sword demons must have unknown contact methods, otherwise how would they know that something happened to that team, let alone set up traps in advance. I deliberately used the empty military depot to arouse the curiosity of the three of them, and waited for our side to enter the military depot before surrounding it from the outside to ensure that the few of us could not escape. As a result, there is no way to pass the information back to the outpost.
Another question is, what is the so-called Lord Dolei's plan
