Seeing this, Qianye already had a good idea of the battle situation.
On Yong Ye's side, the Duke should be leading the team. The entire team is about ten people, which is the strength of a normal three small teams. On the other hand, Artois dispatched hundreds of warriors, and led by a giant. The two sides clashed for some reason, and there was a bloody battle.
Judging from their strength on paper, the Artois fighters undoubtedly have the upper hand. Their average adult fighters have the earl level, and the first-level fighters are generally close to or reach the marquis level. An elite first-level fighter like Su Shi can approach the Marquis of Strength.
But strength on paper is only strength on paper, and cannot be equated with real combat effectiveness.
Judging from the results of this battle, the difference in equipment between the two sides has become so large that it decides the outcome of the battle. The strong man on Yongye's side killed a hundred or more powerful Earls at the cost of several injuries and the loss of a Marquis of Glory. Artois warrior, and a giant comparable to a grand duke.
The wooden spears used by the Artois were almost unable to break through the heavy shield of the Eternal Night Powerhouse, and it was quite difficult to break through the battle armor. Most of the wounds left by the stabs on the armor were minor. But on the other hand, the force bullet of the Eternal Night strongman almost made a blood hole in one shot, and the sword and axe could easily cut open the not-so-tyrannical body of the Artois warrior.
Even giants can't stand the repeated bombardment of the force gun.
The battle started half a day ago, Artois suffered heavy losses and had to retreat. And Yong Ye's first team of strong players continued the unfinished route.
Qianye restrained his breath and chased all the way. The Eternal Ye strongman is already an old acquaintance of his, and he is very good at things that Artois warriors can't solve.
The world inside is very strange. Qianye ran after him for half a day, and the surrounding scenery has not changed much. It is still those giant trees that block out the sky, those vegetation and boulders scattered in the forest, and those small animals full of danger. If it weren't for Qianye's amazing eyesight and memory, he would have mistakenly thought that he had been going around in circles.
After staying in such an unchanging environment for a long time, normal people may become crazy. After a long time, you will lose your judgment on direction and distance.
However, Qianye is already a tracking master, so he can naturally overcome these consciousness problems. Later, he simply closed his eyes slightly, relying more on perception to judge the azimuth and distance.
After chasing like this, Qianye finally saw a trace of something different.
On a giant tree, there is a shallow nick. Although the nick is very shallow, it seems to be scratched by a sharp claw, and there is still a faint trace of the dark force of eternal night. When Qianye saw it, he knew that it was the strong spider demon who stayed behind. It's just that the traces have become very shallow and will disappear after a while. Everything in the other world has a strong self-healing ability. In the environment of active force, any trace left by the foreign force will be gradually worn away.
Seeing this trace, Qianye knew that he was not chasing in the wrong direction, so he suddenly accelerated, and his figure disappeared into the distance.
In the forest in the distance, a strong demon descendant looked at the scenery that seemed to never change, suddenly became irritable, drew his sword violently, and cut off the huge leaves of different trees protruding from the side with one sword.
Halfway through the cut, the long sword was suddenly blocked by another long sword. The demon-born old man who was originally in front of the team suddenly appeared and blocked the strong man's saber with his sword.
"Don't leave unnecessary traces." The old man said slowly.
The strong demon descendant looked at the old man with deep eyes and sweat on his forehead, and explained: "I, I just..."
"There is no need to explain. However, you have to remember that our enemies are not just those natives. These exotic trees, shrubs, beasts, flying insects, and even the entire inner world are our enemies."
The strong demon descendant was taken aback, "Is the inner world our enemy?"
The old prince nodded and said, "That's right."
"But they can't move... don't the lifeless stones too?"
"Under the blessing of the will of the world, everything will be conscious, intelligent, and even have its own soul."
The demon-born strong man was skeptical, but for some reason, when he looked at everything around him at this moment, he felt that these plants, trees, trees and rocks seemed to have eyes, watching him silently.
Only then did he realize that the real reason why he became irritable actually came from a faint uneasiness, from the fear of not knowing where the danger came from.
"Let's go, don't let your momentary loss of control expose your traces." The old duke withdrew his sword, returned to the front of the team, and continued to move forward.
A Nerubian Marquis of Glory came to the demon-born strong man, lowered his voice, and asked, "Master Ped, what are we looking for?"
Ped shook his head, "I don't know either. Master Li Jia is in charge of all actions this time."
The Nerubian Marquis said: "I also heard what Lord Li Jia said just now. This hellish place is really weird, but we are already prepared, so it's nothing. Dangerous? Are you referring to the group of uncivilized natives? Our army in the inner world can easily wipe out that group of natives."
Ped's expression relaxed a little, and he smiled and said, "Indeed, those guys were quite scary when they first came up. But they can only howl and charge, which is really the same as sending them to death. It's just a pity for Lowry."
The Nerubian Marquis said, "He's out of luck."
"Let's go, finish the task early, and go back early. I don't want to stay in this damn forest any longer."
"Right."
Ped and the Nerubian Marquis quickened their pace and followed the team ahead. When passing under a big tree, Peder suddenly stopped and raised his head, as if he had sensed something, his body was trembling slightly.
"What's the matter with you?" the Nerubian Marquis asked. It's really inconceivable that a majestic Marquis of Glory, a demon descendant, would show fear.
"Well, there's a leaf there."
The spider demon followed his gaze and saw a huge leaf several meters long. The leaf was thick and dark green in color, with fine hairs on it, which was clearly visible under the light. However, there are such different trees everywhere in the forest. Looking around, there are not a thousand, but hundreds of the same leaves in the field of vision. How is this leaf different
Peder stared at the leaf, subconsciously clenched the hilt of his sword.
He suddenly realized his gaffe, said "nothing", and chased away the team that had gone away with the Nerubian. After walking a few steps, Ped suddenly turned around like lightning and stared at the leaf again.
Huge leaves hang quietly, just like before. There is no wind in the forest, so it doesn't move the slightest. Not only it, but all the leaves are the same, stretching in the air in various postures, all condensed like sculptures.
Looking around, the time in the whole inner world seems to be frozen. Except for those people who walk in it, the surrounding scenery is like a certain moment intercepted from a time period, frozen forever.
Ped stared at the leaf for a long time, until the Nerubian Marquis couldn't bear the urging, then he looked away and hurried away.
"It's just a leaf, what's wrong?" the Nerubian Marquis asked curiously.
Ped hesitated for a moment before saying, "I always feel that it is looking at me."
"Looking at you?"
"Yeah, it seemed to move when we were passing by. Like... turned to look at me."
"These damned leaves still move?" The Nerubian Marquis was really curious. But looking around, besides themselves, is there anything moving in their field of vision
"Maybe it's my eyesight." Peder laughed at himself.
The Nerubian Marquis' face gradually became ugly. Peder is a well-known sniper and killer among the demons. His eyesight and perception are exceptionally good. How could he be blinded
But when he saw that Pede said that, he winked at himself again, so he understood, nodded and said: "Maybe it's because I'm too tired these days. Just take a good rest."
"Let's go, the team has gone far."
They hurried away, at this moment, the leaf behind them bent slowly, as if turning their heads, looking at their backs.
At this time, under the tower that was about to be completed, Palocia, the Lord of Masefield, stood quietly, overlooking the infinitely extended inner world in front of him.
Behind him, a devil-born duke is reporting: "All the components have been installed, and only the final testing and packaging are left. The construction period will take about three days. There are currently seventy-six subordinates gathered, of which There are 30 earls, and they need to wear the necessary weapons and protective gear to move freely here. However, after these days of debugging, our armor has been more able to adapt to the environment here. The earls have become quite Effective combat power."
The Duke paused for a moment, and seeing that Palikia did not respond, he proceeded to the next report: "A total of 110 sets of various spare parts boxes have been collected so far. After building this tower, we still have enough Spare parts to build two additional towers. With three towers, the positioning accuracy will be much improved."
"The exploration team has already returned one, and there is no valuable harvest. However, they found some materials that can be used, so that when building the tall tower behind, the progress of the project will increase by 30%."
The Lord of Masefield's eyes were deep. Hearing this, he suddenly said, "How many other expedition teams are there?"
"There are two more teams, one of which has just been sent out, and it is not yet time to return. The exploration team led by Master Li Jia should have returned yesterday, but there is no news so far. If there is no news tonight, then I Other teams will be dispatched to rescue."
The Lord of Masefield said slowly: "There's no need to look for them, they can't come back anymore."
The Duke was taken aback, "This..."
"Gather the combat troops and set off tonight. I will lead the team myself. I want to see what secrets are hidden in this world."
"The meaning of His Majesty the Demon Emperor is that he hopes that you will meet up with Lord Eternal Burning Flame before proceeding to the next step."
"There is no news about the Eternal Burning Flame so far, and we don't know where it is. But we already have clues, so let's act first and don't wait for him."
The Duke still hesitated, "But once you leave, the defense on the tower will be empty."
"I'll be back in two days."
Only then did the Duke heave a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to persuade him any more, and left in a hurry to prepare for battle.
Parochia was expressionless, staring into the distance all the time, no one could see what he was thinking in his heart, only a faint light flickered in the depths of his eyes.
In the Lava Castle, the book in the Demon Emperor's hand just turned to the last page. He closed the book and said with a smile: "No matter how beautiful a book is, there is always time to finish it. Mr. Habs, our agreement has been reached, hasn't it?"
