Nearly an hour has passed since entering the forest.
The sound of bows and arrows came from the forest, and soon the mercenaries cheered and swarmed forward and dragged several corpses out of the grass - those huge, light yellow creatures covered with tumors, their heads were like a
The huge malignant tumor has no nostrils and eyes visible from the smooth surface, as if it lacks facial features. But there are thousands of smell and hearing organs hidden under the skin folds, allowing them to compete in dim or even dark underground environments.
Human beings are hundreds of times more sensitive - but the mercenaries immediately discovered that these creatures were dead. The arrows only caused superficial injuries to them, but each of these cavemen had a fatal wound on their chest.
Some of the injuries were from back to front, and some were from front to back. The wounds were charred and black, and they were all penetrating wounds. It was as if someone had stabbed a big hole in the chest with a thunderbolt. A few mercenaries recognized this kind of injury made by "Dragoon"
They turned the disgusting creatures over with special wounds, and then looked back in awe at the young man who was slowly walking over on horseback.
Brando looked down from a high position and carefully watched these cavemen open their mouths full of fine teeth like sharks. The blood flowing out of the corners of their mouths was light green, which was different from the warm-blooded creatures on the surface - these in Qiao's eyes.
The creatures living at the bottom of Gangdigan are actually a type of lizard. If possible, Brando would prefer to encircle and suppress these bandits from the underground world in winter. According to convention, they will definitely shrink their activity range in the cold season. But unfortunately, the urgency is
The time did not allow him to do this, and the weather was getting colder. It was not the best situation, but at least it was not the worst situation. At his signal, the mercenary fiddled with the cavemen who had been dead for a long time and let them
I could clearly see the stiffened claws of this monster tightly grasping the spear.
"They are relatively low-level existences in the caveman society," Huque looked at the corpses and replied: "It seems that they keep their elites in the inner circle of the defense line. The further we go in, the greater the resistance we will encounter."
Brando nodded, but he did not say that this was actually good news. The level of creatures gradually increased from the outside to the inside. In the past, this was a more natural distribution of monsters in Amber Sword, just like most traditions.
The same as the game. This shows that these cavemen have not yet formed a complete military organization. Simply put, they are not an army, but a tribe, or a settlement of cavemen formed in some other way.
The situation he was most worried about before the attack was that these cavemen entrenched in the bear forest were a military organization of cavemen who came to the surface world from the underground world. They might be a large tribe or even an underground city.
Part of the invasion plan, this is not uncommon in Warnd. Sometimes underground residents will also peek at the resources of the above world. Although the resources underground are much richer, the survival of the fittest is also more cruel. Another possibility is that this group of cavemen
The army suffered a defeat in the underground world and then fled to the surface world to survive, but no matter which kind, it was much easier to deal with than a loose tribe.
A common monster area.
Brando mentally determined the cavemen in this forest. The corpses they have found so far are the lower-class cavemen serving as scouts on the outermost periphery, and then there may be caveman warriors and 'Kamuru'.
The latter means 'warrior' in the underground language. Players called them elite cavemen in the past. They are sergeant-like characters with peak black iron strength. It can be said that apart from sacrifices, cavemen are the strongest.
of combat effectiveness.
But it's not something to be afraid of.
The mercenaries quickly sifted through the area like a net and found a total of more than twenty corpses, which was consistent with Brando's experience. These corpses showed that most of the cave dwellers who were attacked had no time to react.
, under the attack of silver-level power, their lives were burned out in a very short moment. The wind spirit spider comes from the wind element plane - the end of the storm. Although its own strength is not as strong as the black iron, it can control the air flow.
However, his ability to flow is unparalleled, and he is undoubtedly a natural opponent for cavemen who rely on their sense of smell and hearing to identify danger.
Subsequently, the eyes scattered on the outskirts of the forest were pulled out one by one. Brando and he descended on Yuta, Fern and Kerenthia. Hundreds of mercenaries led by the three captains marched smoothly into the jungle.
Beyond imagination - hundreds of warriors moved cautiously along the silent woods in the afternoon. They stepped on the bright green ferns and made a rustling sound. Some even accidentally stepped on the dead branches.
The "click" sound was sudden and shocking. But fortunately, when the soldiers raised their heads nervously - they only saw some unnamed birds flapping their wings and flying up from the forest.
But compared to warriors and swordsmen, magicians who are protected among the crowd are even more incredible. According to usual practice, they must be the first target of those cold guns and secret arrows - everyone understands that a magician is on the battlefield.
importance. However, for these spellcasters, who only have the status of formal wizards, and most of them are even apprentices, their self-protection ability is completely out of proportion to the value they display on the battlefield, just like they themselves are also
Understand, they are one of the scouts' favorite targets.
Another target is the commander in the army, but they are often not as easy to win as low-level spellcasters.
Therefore, these mercenary magicians have become accustomed to being attacked; surprise attacks, sneak attacks, and cold arrows are commonplace especially in jungle battles. Almost everyone has the experience of being injured, and has seen many companions suffer from such attacks.
He died in front of him, and he even had personal experience of wandering on the edge of life and death. But all of this was nothing compared to the strangeness he encountered today. Those rumored caveman scouts seemed to have disappeared, and looking at
As the sunlight after noon shines through the gaps between the leaves in this silent forest, these magicians even wonder if this is a one-day trip at public expense or some other activity.
But of course not, they had seen the corpses of those cavemen before.
All this can only be attributed to the magic of the young lord. There are even rumors that he is a high-level summoner, and may even exceed the boundary between gold and silver. However, for wizards, since this mysterious
Since his skills were taught to mortals by the Silver People, respecting the strong has become a deep-rooted habit - not to mention that his subordinates also have Charles, two gold-level wizards who were secretly criticized by the magicians among the mercenaries.
It’s called the Council of Two. Because in the habits of the craftsman wizard Buga people, the Wizards Council symbolizes authority and the power of the leader—so Brando’s prestige was unknowingly established among these spellcasters.
stand up.
But when Brando watched the mercenaries carrying long swords, halberds or long bows, shields and staffs habitually dispersed into small teams and spread across the forest grassland, he didn't feel anything at all.
What a sense of accomplishment. Although the results achieved by the Sylph Spider are amazing, all this is not without cost. He is silently calculating the consumption of spells: almost an hour has passed since entering the forest, and it is just to maintain
The Holy Sword card and one attack charge consumed 13 points of earth elements. He checked his element reserves. At this moment, the earth element pool with a volume of 32 cells was already empty, with only 7 cells left.
Brando frowned and immediately sent someone to call the guide over.
The ragged man came to him, raised his head and saw that the young man's face was not very good. He thought he had done something wrong to make the other person unhappy, and asked uneasily: "Sir, what's the matter?
?”
"How long?" Brando asked a little anxiously. In five minutes, he must give up paying the next maintenance fee and let the Holy Sword card return to his library, because he must reserve it for display again.
For the cost of this card, the real battle will take place at night or even early in the morning.
When the guide heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief: "We'll be there soon, sir. You can see it when you go around the forest. The sawmill is built in the river valley. I -" Before he could finish his words, something came from in front of him.
There was a cooing sound, which was a predetermined signal. Brando raised his head and immediately saw the mercenaries in front of him stopped and crouched down. And he saw the soldiers at the edge of the forest.
He turned around and looked in this direction, and then gave him a gesture.
Brando recognized the gesture - spotting the enemy.
However, the Sylph Spider has not reacted yet, and has not generated any experience prompts, which shows that there may be many enemies and the Dragoon system cannot kill them with one blow - so it lurks in accordance with his second order order. Brando smiled slightly
Startled, he immediately got off his horse and walked in that direction. When he saw his lord dismounting, Yuta, Fern and Kerenthia behind him also looked at each other and climbed off their horses and followed, followed by Huque.
, Qian and Roman, as for the last Ms. Shang’s eyes, there was no trace of caution in her eyes, but instead they were filled with cautious curiosity.
The woods became sparse, and Brando soon came to the edge of the woodland.
"Sir!" The mercenary shouted respectfully after noticing Brando approaching. He looked back and saw his former regiment leader Kerencia nodding to him.
Brando said nothing, and the woods formed a slope in front of him. Below the slope was the valley the guide mentioned - the lumber camp of Fir City was built on the riverside. Originally there was only an open space and a few wooden houses, and
A larger sawmill, but it has obviously changed its appearance now. The cavemen transformed it into a fortress. They used stones and wood to build walls along the river beach, and also built watchtowers. Behind the walls
The caves made of earth and rocks were vaguely visible. Brando clicked on the number and concluded that there were probably more than two hundred cave dwellers living here.
"So many, it's really tricky." The red-haired female mercenary leader looked behind and frowned. She looked at Brando, fearing that the latter would order them to attack by force.
But Brando looked at several groups of cavemen patrolling along the river beach. Each group was led by a caveman with dark red skin. Those were Muluk. If they attacked the opponent rashly, they would probably shrink into the fortress and lose their money in vain.
The advantage of the surprise attack was wasted. He turned back to look at Antitina and Huque, and replied, "What do you think?"
"Use the old method of our mercenaries." Huque replied.
