Tislan Mountains.
It was another autumn, and the tall birch forest was full of yellowing leaves. There are many foreigners in the quiet mountains and forests in the past.
These imperial soldiers wore jet-black armor, swept away the dead branches and shrubs in the forest with halberds, stepped on the withered and rotten leaves, and moved forward cautiously.
They are the subordinate units of Di belonging to the Imperial Right Wing Legion, under the command of the Earl of Black Pine, to sweep these strongholds in the hidden mountains and forests.
Although the commander-in-chief, Duke Baska, did not have high requirements for them, as long as he restrained several exits from the Tissilan Mountains, Earl Heisong believed that he could do more than that.
If he wants to stand out in this expedition, he must have impressive feats. He decided to go a step further and sweep the stronghold of the Rabbit Ears in this mountain range.
Different from the main battlefield in the central part, where the battle was torn down every day, the fighting intensity in the eastern part of the right wing was lower, so the morale of the Imperial Legion was not bad, and it did not suffer a major blow. In the mountains and forests, I occasionally catch some animals, and I can also eat meat and eat some meat, which is relatively good.
The day before yesterday, Earl Heisong received a report from his elite scouts that they had found the enemy's stronghold. After confirming that it was correct, he mobilized an army of nearly 50,000 people today and began to head towards the destination.
"This place is really nice."
Riding a black horse, Earl Heisong was talking to the adjutant beside him.
"In the future, I can build a vacation estate here. It's a good choice to hunt with people and enjoy the scenery." In the birch forest, yellowish and reddish leaves occasionally fall from the branches, and there are occasional birdsong in the air.
"What the lord said is that even I am thinking of spending time here leisurely in the future. The quiet forest here is perfect as the back garden of the fief." The adjutant wore a light leather breastplate and black Cloak, with a long sword around his waist, looks like an elite educated commander.
However, in the Empire, the title is far more noble than the official position. Even if he has excellent command ability, he still has to obey the order of the Earl of Black Pine and serve him. Because only the nobles can support so many soldiers, and without the commander of the team, they are nothing.
"Haha, no problem. After the victory of this war, I can arrange a knight's collar for you, so that you can grow old in peace here." Earl Heisong laughed.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Lord Count." Then the commander complimented again.
In front of the team, on the road where the main force was heading, the 'Poison Bee Sharp Blades' under the Count's command was already scouting the surrounding area and serving as a sentinel to monitor the situation of the stronghold in the mountains and forests.
Although Earl Heisong is very happy, he is not an irrational person. He is so confident because of the existence of this elite corps, which gives him a lot of advantages in intelligence and can take the lead every time. This time, it was just another victory that repeated the past, and he naturally thought so in his heart.
Grey Forest Fortress, the stronghold of the Rabbit Ears in the middle of the Tissilan Mountains.
A few Rabbit-eared warriors on the fortress were patrolling the surrounding situation. They were carrying bows and arrows, and some of them had spears in their hands.
Although the war has started, this fortress seems to have been very quiet and has not been found by the enemy, and behind the valley guarded by this fortress is a large area of fruit forests and terraced fields of the Rabbit Ears, many of which are even His Royal Highness Roland Hill. Planted by former guidance.
The Rabbit Ears are very concerned about this, so they built a large and solid fortress with gray and white rocks here, and there are thousands of people stationed there. If there is an emergency, the soldiers stationed will light the beacon, and reinforcements will be dispatched from the major cities behind.
Just as the soldiers on the fortress were walking away as usual, in a hidden mountain forest not far away, two scouts in gray and black uniforms were chatting in a low voice.
"Have you determined the number of them? Your troop is heading here."
"There are about 3,000-5,000 people. The other side of this fortress is very concerned about it, and there are more people stationed there. Most of them are the orc-rabbit ear branch, and a few are humans."
"Oh, this country in the west is really interesting. Those orc bastards live together. I really forgot the past." The scout said, of course, the past when humans were persecuted by the orc empire in the first era.
"That's how the barbarians are. Not every inch of land shines as brilliantly as the empire. Let's just say that the west wind, wasn't it used to put horses on the grasslands? It's just luck that allowed them to get the land."
"It's a waste for these people to live in such fertile land."
"Wait a minute, Lord Earl's troops will arrive soon, and we will be able to take it down. I sneaked into the valley behind to see it, and the orchards inside are really rich."
"Heh, be patient, there won't be any less then."
Then the two scouts hid in the bushes of the mountain forest and continued to observe the scene of the fortress, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops.
However, did the defenders in the Tissilan Mountains really know nothing about it
At the top of a mountain several kilometers away from the fortress, a small wooden watchtower is hidden in the woods, blending in with the surrounding environment.
There was a slight flapping of wings in the air, and a slapped silverfinch landed between the branches, with a small paper tube tied to its feet.
A rabbit-eared warrior took off the scroll and unfolded it to look at it. The information was written in cipher text, but he was trained to translate the general meaning quickly.
'The enemy is in the cage and can act. '
After putting away the scroll, the Rabbit-Eared Ranger rolled over from the branches and fell, lightly stepping on the ground covered with fallen leaves, without making a sound.
Immediately afterward, he advanced towards the back of the mountain, quickly traversing the complex woods, and came to a clearing in the forest. Here stood about fifty black-clothed men in hooded cloaks, who seemed to be waiting quietly, patiently not saying a word.
"Lord Arya, report ahead, everything is going according to plan, you can start action."
After seeing the group of men in black, the Rabbit-eared Ranger turned over and half-kneeled in salute, and then presented key information.
"Has it finally begun?"
The dark hood slowly lifted, revealing a pair of bright red pupils, and the bunny ears on the head also showed a slight outline in the hood.
Demon Sequence 7: Bloodstained Executioner, Arya. This rabbit-eared girl who used to practice the Angel Sequence did not know when she changed her Sequence, and she was still making great progress on the Demon Sequence. She is now the chief judge of the Sanctuary Judgment Division.
She did not enter the twelfth house as expected and become a highly respected priest of the scepter, but chose another more remote and dangerous path.
'Cure can't save the world, only by killing to stop killing and eradicating the evil in the world, can there be a good soil for survival. '
Adhering to this belief, this girl with black rabbit ears decided to step into the darkness and become the executioner who embraced the blood.
Leading the group of sanctuary executioners who were all Demon Sequence 5s behind her, Arya swam into the familiar birch forest with a step, like a black phantom.
They wanted to clear the elite scout group under Earl Heisong and make it blind without eyes and ears. Finally, they would join forces with the defenders to catch turtles in the urn in the mountains and forests, and bury Earl Heisong's entire army here.
A black-clothed executor followed closely behind, they scattered in the mountains and forests, jumping forward rapidly, and silent, like death.
prick-
After a slight noise, a scout hidden in the canopy was cut open by a slender sickle, blood splashed between the trunk and leaves, and then rolled into the dead leaves.
The killing began.
A member of the 'Poison Bee Sharp Blades' stationed in the forest was killed by these executioners before they could scream.
Both sides are sharp blades and sharp arrows wandering in the dark, and once they fight, they are extremely tragic.
After clearing the hidden piles of more than 30 'Poison Bee Sharp Blades', the other party finally discovered the abnormality, because the companion did not respond within the specified time interval.
After the companions did not respond on time for dozens of minutes, the elites of the 'Poison Bee Blades' began to adjust. On the one hand, they began to report to the rear army, and on the other hand, they also began to gather, so as not to be eliminated individually.
Arya swung her scythe and slashed an enemy open, and a small drop of blood slid down the tip of the scythe.
"Have you found it?" She raised her head and listened to the dazzling bird whistle in the distance.
"Everyone accelerates."
"Be sure to kill all the enemies here!" The bright red pupils under the hood seemed to be burning, and the magnificent red was breathtaking in the shadows.
"Yes, Lord Executioner!"
Then the group of people in black behind her suddenly dispersed, no longer caring about the sound, and ran all-out in the forest, like a big black net, rushing towards the grey sparrow hidden in the forest.
In an instant, the clashing of swords began to sound everywhere in the birch forest, daggers and crossbows, daggers and sickles, all kinds of sharp friction and sparks sounded. Then there was the sound of the blade cutting flesh and blood, accompanied by the smooth cuts of the birch trees, one by one corpses spilled from the branches and leaves of the tree canopy.
Blood splattered on the yellowed leaves, and painful howls and low voices sounded from time to time. Both sides were fighting against time, trying to kill the opponent in a short time, even if they were injured and disabled.
The members of the Poison Bee Sharpblade Squad are not unprofessional trash fish, they are elite scouts and assassins that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and each member has carried out assassination missions alone. After facing this dark opponent from the same source, although he was caught off guard, he quickly reacted.
After resisting the black scythe that was swung down, the assassins quickly retreated. According to the whistle sound all the time, they began to analyze the current situation, and constantly adjusted their direction to converge in the direction of their spare partners.
In the process of chasing and killing these assassin scouts, the black executioners also began to encounter various obstacles, some were flying daggers, some were crossbow bolts shot from the dark in the forest, and some were suddenly shot from the sleeves of poison Needle.
Both sides began to suffer casualties, but in terms of individual strength, these executioners were stronger.
Soon, the members of these poisonous bee sharp-blade regiments gathered in a forest and began to support each other and assist in the battle. They had nearly 150 people, each of them were elites of Sequence 4, and among them there were more than 30 poisonous bee assassins of Sequence 5 . On the other side, Arya led the black-clothed executioners to also surround the forest. Although there were fewer of them, the blood-stained hood and cloak were even more terrifying.
It was less than 20 minutes before the first fallen scout. Nearly one third of this elite scout group had died, but they had also gathered from all over the place in just over ten minutes. Blindly escaping can't solve the problem. These men in black are extremely fast, and they are more prominent under the extreme blessing of the demon sequence. Running away will only make themselves prey. Moreover, their overall strength is not necessarily weaker than these men in black.
Neither side spoke, and after watching silently for a second, the battle began again.
The black and gray figures in the forest interlaced with each other, and the blades and sickles cut each other with sharp noises and sparks. From time to time, people fell from the canopy and fell unwillingly.
clang-
The scythe held by Arya in both hands swayed the opponent's blade, then slashed back with lightning speed, and split it in two with the opponent's stunned expression. Then her figure suddenly turned between the branches, sweeping away the poisonous arrows that struck from two different directions.
The slender legs under the cloak appeared, and the gray boots stepped on the fallen leaves. The bunny-eared girl with a strong figure stepped on the ground again, and rushed towards the canopy of the enemy's gathering like a phantom streamer.
Accompanied by the rapidly swinging black robe, the long and narrow sickle waved several blood-colored moon arcs among the trees, smashing the dark blue sharp-blade poisonous thorns, causing them to roll to the ground like the birch branches that had slipped.
As the killing progressed, the hood on the girl's head was also rolled up by the wind, revealing a pair of long black rabbit ears. The seemingly cute appearance brought the most terror to the enemy.
This blood-stained black rabbit, with its terrifying strength, shattered the dreams and hopes of these enemies.
When she walked through the woods like a god of death, the once peaceful woods were full of corpses, and the trunks and autumn leaves were full of blooming blood-colored flowers.
Until the end, there was no sound in this birch forest, and even the noisy birdsong in the sky was silent at this moment.
A few minutes later, several black-clothed executioners came behind the girl and lowered their heads to report.
"Lord Arya, all inspections have been completed, and there are no survivors."
"Okay, tell me to set fire."
"Yes!"
In the quiet woods, a special letter arrow screamed and rose into the air. The special structure made it make a very loud sound when it passed through the atmosphere.
Afterwards, sharp letter arrows rose from the distant peaks one by one. The sudden screeching sound made the Imperial Army gate advancing in the valley startled, but they soon realized what had happened.
One after another, flaming arrows shot down from the hidden peaks in the distance, and red smoke and fire gathered from all directions to the enemy in this valley.
"Enemy attack!"
"There is an enemy attack!"
"We are ambushed!"
All kinds of terrified cries sounded, and the soldiers watched in panic as the flames spread rapidly in the woods, rushing in with suffocating heat, and there were messy footsteps, stampings, and running sounds everywhere.
"Stop for me, obey the command, and break through in one direction!"
The commander rode on the horse and shouted vigorously, but the soldiers below were already in an uproar, and there were noisy and chaotic scenes everywhere. Some still have fantasies and surrender on their knees in order to ask the enemy to let them go.
"Why, how could this happen? Why, why didn't anyone report to me, those 'poisonous bee' assassins!?"
"Why..." Earl Heisong looked at the thick smoke and fire that was constantly pouring around him, his face full of disbelief, and he kept mumbling words in his mouth.
Until he was about to die, he still didn't understand why the trustworthy elite scout group had not reported the situation to him at this time. Have they betrayed themselves, what a shame.
Biquge
However, the earl's questions could no longer be answered. Tonight, he and the 50,000 troops he went with were all buried in the valley of fire, and even the camp at the rear was also killed by the Rabbit-eared army suddenly gushing out from the mountains. After the defeat, many supplies and rations were burned out, and the right flank of the Imperial Army suffered heavy losses in this battle.
