After receiving the captain's order, the team members quickly stopped what they were doing, picked up their weapons and equipment, carried ammunition, and prepared to meet the enemy.

The opponents were only fifteen undead monsters, and killing them was a piece of cake.

In order to prevent the camp from being destroyed, after the joint investigation team was assembled, they took the initiative to go some distance north and came to a relatively open place, where they decided to have a head-on confrontation with the undead monsters.

After determining the battle location, everyone lined up in the simplest one-line attack formation, picked up the automatic rifles in their hands, put their index fingers on the triggers, and waited for the enemy to come and fight.

Thanks to the huge productivity brought about by industrialization, the People's Army has now basically replaced it with the latest automatic rifles, and the obsolete semi-automatic rifles are sold as foreign trade military weapons.

Considering that the joint investigation team needs to go deep into a dangerous place like the Mark Desert, they must be equipped with the best military weapons and equipment in the Kingdom of Dawn to ensure their personal safety.

Okay---

After a period of waiting, the undead monster finally rushed to a place about 100 meters in front of the joint investigation team. At this time, it was determined that the enemy had ten skeleton soldiers and five carrion soldiers.

As expected, as soon as the undead monsters saw humans, they charged over without thinking.

Seeing this, Elena raised the corners of her mouth slightly and decisively gave orders to the team members.

"Free Fire!"

The team members standing in a row moved the muzzle of the gun slightly, aiming at the head of the undead monster, and then directly pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang——

The muzzle of the gun continued to spit out sparks, and a large number of bullets flew forward at extremely high speeds.

With just one encounter, the dense bullets knocked down all the undead monsters in the front row. Even if they did not hit the magic core, the power of the bullets could break up the skeletons of skeleton soldiers or knock down the corpse soldiers.

After almost all the undead monsters fell to the ground, Elena issued the second order.

"go ahead!"

After receiving the order, the team members immediately took steps and moved forward cautiously.

While advancing, they were always on guard against the undead monsters lying on the ground. Once they found an undead monster making any move to get up, they would immediately shoot it.

Soon, the joint investigation team arrived at the area where the undead monster was shot and fell to the ground.

Under Alina's instructions, the team members quickly took out and installed bayonets, then spread out and struck their heads one by one to ensure that the magic core inside was destroyed.

Only in this way can the undead monster be truly eliminated.

Lifting the rifle, the tip of the bayonet was pressed against the head of the last skeleton soldier. Alina stabbed it in hard, then pulled it out and kicked the skull away.

"All solved."

The battle ended easily.

After all, the members of the joint investigation team are all elites selected from the Holy Kingdom of Caleb and the Kingdom of Morning Light. Naturally, they are more than enough to deal with this number of undead monsters.

"Something bad happened!"

Just when Elena was about to check the corpses of the undead monsters, a team member not far away suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the north, and loudly reported to her with a shocked face: "Captain! Look over there."

Looking in the direction pointed by the team members, Elena discovered that a large group of dense black spots had emerged in the distance at the junction of the Mark Desert and the Arctic Ice Sheet. It was really a large area of ​​darkness.

There is no need to take out a telescope to observe. Those black spots must be undead monsters, and the number is estimated to exceed 100,000 by visual inspection.

Having said that, new black spots are still popping up in the gaps between the snowy mountains behind, and the actual scale of the undead monsters may be far greater than imagined.

Seeing such a large number of undead monsters, Elena couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth. It seemed that just as King Wells had guessed, Kazitu was really preparing to launch an unprecedented war.

Moreover, the enemy's attack time was chosen in the hot summer, which is even more incredible. Don't undead monsters like the cold and be afraid of the heat?

"quick!"

Time was running out, so Elena turned around and gave an order to the team members: "Return to the camp, bring only the necessary things, discard all heavy items, we must retreat quickly!"

There are only ten people in the joint investigation team. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot deal with tens of thousands or even more undead monsters. They have to go back and report the news to the Kingdom of Dawn.

"Yes!" All the team members nodded in response.

Next, Elena and her group hurried back to the camp, bringing only three items, enough water and food to last three days, as well as weapons for combat.

Everything else, including the six-legged camels carrying supplies, were all abandoned.

The reason why the six-legged camel was abandoned was that it moved too slowly. It was indeed a good means of transportation in the desert, but when it came to escaping, it was completely a burden.

As for the problem of insufficient water and food, the joint investigation team has conducted four joint investigations before and set up a number of hidden support points in the Makk Desert, where emergency food and water were stored.

Therefore, as long as you arrive at the support location in time, you can replenish food and water and continue on your way.

After bringing all the necessary things, Elena and her party did not dare to waste a moment and quickly evacuated towards the south, for fear of being overtaken by the undead army behind them.

On the way to retreat, Elena also picked up the special whistle hanging around her neck and used the magic power in her body to blow it as hard as she could.

This whistle is exclusive to Pegasus knights and is used to summon Pegasus mounts. It can blow out sound waves of a specific frequency that ordinary people cannot hear. With the help of magic, the transmission range of sound waves can be expanded dozens of times or even more.

Since it takes time for the Pegasus to fly over, Elena can only continue to retreat south with her team members.

However, things went against expectations. Before the joint investigation team could get very far, hundreds of corpse monsters suddenly appeared in front of them and intercepted them.

Seeing this situation, everyone had to stop and form an unfavorable situation with the enemy on the opposite side.

It is obvious that the enemy leader should have noticed the existence of Elena and her group, so he sent this group of strong and fast-moving carrion monsters to pursue them.

"hateful!"

One of the team members picked up the automatic rifle in his hand, and while wary of the large group of corpse monsters ahead, he asked: "Captain, what should we do?"

What else can we do? We can’t run anymore. We must annihilate the group of carrion monsters before we can continue to retreat safely.

However, hundreds of carrion monsters are difficult to deal with, so you have to find a favorable terrain.

Glancing to the left, Alina noticed that there was a relatively high sand dune not far away. As long as we occupied that highland, we should be able to take advantage of the terrain to launch a battle of annihilation.
Chapter completed!
