Chapter 449 Humanoid Monster
Bang! Bang!
Several gunshots were heard from the southwest of the military camp, awakening Owen who was sleeping. He hurriedly got out of bed and ran out of the tent.
As soon as he left the tent, Owen saw the Elf Queen Igabella coming out of the tent not far away.
The two looked at each other and roughly guessed that the enemy had launched a night attack.
Woohoo——
Sure enough, the bugler blew the enemy attack horn.
"Your Majesty, please be careful."
The guards performing guard duties at the entrance of the tent quickly attached bayonets to their rifles and guarded both sides of Owen, maintaining a high degree of vigilance about the surroundings.
On the other side, the guards of the Elf Queen also took out arrows from their quivers in advance, put them on the bow strings, and assumed a posture of ready to fight at any time.
Mapel, who was resting in the tent next door, quickly ran over and asked very worriedly: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
In addition to her, Viscount Jarvis, Lusha, and the leader of the Knights Templar, Al Thorfinn, also rushed over to confirm the king's personal safety.
Elf elders and several powerful elven warriors also arrived at the first opportunity to protect the safety of the Elf Queen.
"I'm fine, and Queen Igabella is fine too."
Owen responded first, then turned to look in the direction where the gunfire came from, and his face became serious.
"The enemy attack seems to have been launched against the military camp from the southwest."
"Report!"
At this moment, a soldier hurried over, knelt down on one knee in front of Irving, and reported: "Your Majesty, a group of humanoid monsters rushed into the southwest of our camp, where they wreaked havoc and killed our soldiers."
During this period, Igabela came over with her tribe and listened to the report together.
"Humanoid monster?!"
Hearing this, Owen couldn't help but frown, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Tell me more details, what exactly is going on?"
"Return to Your Majesty."
The soldier tidied up his language a little, and then said everything he knew.
"The people who launched the night attack on our army seemed to be humans, but they didn't seem to be human. They had a pair of glowing red eyes, dark skin color, and a stench all over their bodies. They only made strange roars during the battle and seemed unable to speak.
.More importantly, they possess extraordinary strength and speed. Even if they are hit by bullets, they will not fall down. They seem to feel no pain, just like monsters."
They won’t fall down even if they are hit by bullets?! Where did these humanoid monsters come from? And who created them?
After hearing the news, Owen showed a solemn expression on his face and quickly asked: "Has the identity of the enemy been confirmed? Is he someone from the Popon Empire army?"
"probably."
The soldier replied with some uncertainty: "As far as I know, some humanoid monsters wear the uniform leather armor of the Popon Empire soldiers, and some humanoid monsters wear armor with the coat of arms of the Popon Empire knights.
There are also humanoid monsters dressed as adventurers.”
There are really all kinds of people, but there is no doubt that it must be the night attack launched by the Popon Empire. I didn't expect that they could create such a humanoid monster.
This is the first time the People's Army is fighting against such an enemy. Since they don't know their weaknesses, they are very likely to be overwhelmed by the opponent, resulting in heavy casualties.
No! You must rush to the battle site, and use the analysis capabilities of the lava armor and artificial intelligence steward Alpha to quickly eliminate the group of humanoid monsters, end the battle, and reduce casualties.
Thinking of this, Owen turned to look at the several armed guards on his side and issued an order.
"You and the elven soldiers protect Queen Igabella."
"Yes! Your Majesty." The guards nodded in response.
"Others, come with me to the attack site."
After saying that, Owen turned around and prepared to walk southwest of the military camp.
"Wait! King of Wells."
Seeing this, Igabera hurriedly called out to Owen, and said with a worried look: "If the enemy who launched the attack is really so powerful, you'd better come with us to a safe place to take refuge. The battle should be left to the soldiers.
They are better."
As the king of a country and also the supreme commander of the army, if a night attack occurs, you should protect yourself. Only in this way can you stabilize the morale of the army.
I have never heard of someone actively running towards the attack site. This would give the enemy an opportunity and is really too dangerous.
"Do not worry!"
In response, Owen turned around, raised the corners of his mouth, and showed a confident smile.
"Those humanoid monsters can't hurt me at all."
As soon as he finished speaking, a circle of orange light emitted from Owen's chest, and the black armor using nanotechnology quickly unfolded outwards, covering his whole body, and several orange light paths also extended from his chest.
Finally, an orange light flashed in the eye area, and the armor was equipped.
"Time is urgent, I'll go there first."
After saying these words, Owen controlled the two jet pipes to extend from the back of the armor, spraying out colorless flames. After taking off, he adjusted his posture and accelerated towards the place where the attack occurred.
The elves present were all stunned by the sight of Owen equipped with lava armor, and the same was true for Al Thorfinn, after all, it was also the first time for him to see it.
Seeing Owen flying over first, Mapel and others quickly set off and ran towards the southwest of the military camp.
Before heading to the attack site, Viscount Jarvis turned to Igabella and said: "Elf Queen, in fact, our king is the strongest in the army, but he rarely takes action. You can take refuge in peace, and the enemy will be handed over to you.
Let us deal with it."
…
Flying over the attack site, Owen used the armor's visual system to easily take in the entire battlefield.
It can be seen that the southwestern part of the military camp has fallen into chaos, with more than a dozen tents being ignited by heating fires and burning.
The fire has the potential to expand further and must be brought under control as soon as possible.
The humanoid monster the soldiers said was using the tents in the camp to hide its figure, scurrying around and moving very fast. As soon as it appeared, it rushed over to kill our soldiers without any chance to fight back.
Since the enemy had broken into the camp and was still moving around, the soldiers of the People's Army did not dare to shoot easily for fear of hurting their own people, so they could only fight with bayonets and shoot according to the situation.
However, the humanoid monsters were very agile and had astonishing destructive power. The soldiers were no match for them in close combat and were crushed and beaten.
[Report to the master, a total of thirty humanoid monsters are causing trouble in the camp.] Alpha compiled the report in his mind.
The visual system of the Lava Armor has captured the locations of all humanoid monsters and displayed them on the small map in the upper right corner of the field of vision.
boom!
Below, a soldier raised his gun and fired at the humanoid monster not far away. Unfortunately, he missed, but it attracted the other's attention.
The humanoid monster turned around decisively and ran towards the soldiers.
Seeing this, the soldiers quickly fired several shots, and two bullets clearly hit the humanoid monster's stomach and arms.
But the opponent was not affected at all and continued to run towards him, raising his claw-like right hand and preparing to attack.
"Damn it!!!"
Seeing that the humanoid monster did not fall, the soldier suddenly became anxious. Seeing that the enemy was about to rush forward, he bravely raised his rifle with a bayonet and stabbed forward.
However, the humanoid monster moved faster, swung its claws down, and used the wind blade to cut the soldier's body into several pieces on the spot.
At this moment, a palm cannon shot from behind, hitting the humanoid monster's back, directly burning through a large piece of protective equipment, exposing a large area of burned skin underneath.
Owen, who was suspended in the air, put down his hands, and his face inside the armor showed a very sad and regretful expression.
"Damn! I couldn't save him."
Roar——
