Chapter 53 Frontline Intelligence (how to reply QAQ~)
The atmosphere at the border post has been quite tense these days. The abnormal movements of hellish creatures in the icy plains have almost begun to be completely undisguised. There are reports of large groups of monsters gathering somewhere every day. Every day, professionals who go out for adventures are covered in bruises.
After returning from failure, they are all very experienced professionals. They usually have adventure areas that they have already explored and matured. Their familiarity with their adventure areas is comparable to the familiarity of wild beasts with their own territories. It is not surprising that this is the case.
It is impossible for so many experienced professionals to have problems at the same time.
However, an accident happened. Many embarrassed professionals cursed in anger. They suddenly encountered a large number of monsters in their adventure area that should not be there at all. When they were suddenly attacked, how could they escape?
Life can already be considered as a skill.
Many professional teams simply did not come back, perhaps they will never come back.
The number of scouts dispatched by the outpost has increased to five times the usual number, and almost every scout brought back bad news.
According to the collected intelligence, a terrifying army of hellish creatures is forming in the Cold Plains. However, no matter how Flavi sends extra manpower to investigate, he cannot find this place.
The feeling of being on the neck but not being able to see where the opponent is has already driven Captain Flavi, who has always been resolute and strong, crazy.
As if she thought she was not in trouble enough, the scouts sent out in the past few days were suddenly hit by targeted counter-scouts. Although the highly skilled Rogges did not suffer any substantial losses from the enemy's counterattack,
But it made Flavi dare not continue to expand the scout team to conduct further searches in the Cold Fields. Moreover, according to the intelligence fed back by the scouts, the enemy who launched a counterattack against them was an expert in using crossbows, and they shot
The arrows all have a cold effect, which alone is already very difficult to deal with. What's even more troublesome is that these opponents seem to be very familiar with Rogge's tactics, and they also have a set of special countermeasures.
Although Rogge's scout force was not reduced in number, it also blocked all the means by which the scouts tried to collect intelligence, making the border outpost temporarily deaf and blind.
"Damn! Damn! Damn!!!" Flaviy was walking around in his tent holding a piece of parchment in his hand, his beautiful face was ashen. On the parchment was a piece of parchment obtained by a scout who risked his life.
For this information, half of the scout's body was frozen by an arrow with strong frost power, and he is still unconscious.
However, the content of the intelligence made Flavi, who was already on the verge of an explosion, almost go crazy.
The scout took the risk and approached the small station's stronghold that had been out of contact for several days, only to find that it was completely a dead place. The light of the small station's teleportation array had been extinguished a few days ago, and the entire small station's stronghold was destroyed by the sudden appearance of hell.
The army was completely destroyed. Flaviy had anticipated this outcome and was prepared to face it, but Flaviy couldn't bear the following information.
The scout ventured into the small station and found that a group of fallen magic wizards were gathering the bodies of the dead Rogs in the small station stronghold, and then using an evil ritual to transform them into dark Roggs.
!
"Asshole!!" Flavi burst out with all his energy, and slapped a chair into pieces.
"What's wrong? Are you so angry?" The only person who dared to open the tent and come in at this time was Kasha. The others would definitely be used as a punching bag by the furious Flaviy to vent his anger.
"Lord Kasha, look at this." Flaviy barely suppressed the surging anger and handed the parchment in his hand to Kasha.
Kasha took the parchment, read it carefully, and then became furious. However, Kasha's anger only lasted for a while, and was replaced by doubt.
"What's going on? Isn't this right? All the hell monsters here are just projections, but our Rogge warriors are real bodies. How can they have the power to transform the bodies of our Rogge warriors? And this transformation method
...Why does it look so similar to the ritual of transforming Hell Cultists?”
She glanced at the ritual pattern that the scout had ventured to copy on the parchment, and her frown deepened.
"What? Hell cultists?!" Flavi's face suddenly turned pale, as if he had thought of something, and his whole body began to tremble.
"Flavi! Calm down! I'm just saying it's a bit like... well, I'll see for myself..."
"Choo Choo Choo!"
"What? Bronze messenger bird?" Kasha was about to set off to find out in person, when a small bird as big as a fist suddenly knocked open the tent door and pierced her chest with its dazed head.
"This little guy! How dare you take advantage of me..." Kasha pinched one of the messenger bird's feet with one hand and pulled it out of his clothes. The poor messenger bird was almost suffocated to death.
She was still confused when she got it out.
"Lord Kasha, there is a message on its foot!" Flaviy saw the parchment tied to the messenger bird's other leg at a glance.
"Oh? Let me see..." Kasha put the messenger bird on the table, took off the letter from its feet and unfolded it. After just one glance, her expression became serious, and then she opened the letter again.
When he came over, his face was stunned for a moment, and then showed a trace of amusement.
"This little guy has quite a lot of secrets..."
"Lord Kasha, what happened?"
"Read it for yourself, you should know this interesting little guy." Kasha threw the parchment to Flavi, who took the letter and took a look at it, and then looked at Kasha with some doubts.
"Turn over and look."
"Uh, oh..." What Flaviy saw on the front of the parchment was a map, but there were no signs on it. Although the map was very detailed, she didn't understand what the map meant.
Until she turned over the map and saw the sentence at the end...
"What!!? Is what he said true?" Flavi's eyes widened. He turned over the parchment and stared at the map.
"Don't make your eyes pop out. This is a standard military map, and the map symbols used are very interesting, so you have to look at it the way you understand a military map." Kasha leaned on the table and looked at it with interest.
Flaviy, who rarely loses his temper.
"Uh, cough..." Realizing that she had lost her composure, Flavi quickly coughed to cover up her situation, and then took a closer look at the map. This time, she quickly understood what it meant.
On this partial map, the cross sign of a long bow and a spear should represent the border post at your feet, and the other place with bat wings and sheep horns should represent the assembly point of the Hell Legion.
.
But, this place...
"Lord Kasha, this place is on a high slope. My scout must have searched it several times. Did he make a mistake?" Of course Flaviy has an impression of this person named "Xue". After all, he is level four.
It's hard not to be impressed by the guy who dared to confront the Demon King himself and had an advantage. However, the place he marked was not very far from the outpost. The scouts he sent had searched several times, but there was only one area.
Didn't you find anything outside the bare hillside?
"Ha~ This little guy is very capable. Let's do this. Anyway, I'm going to the small outpost to have a look. You send two people to follow me. Let's go to the place marked on the map to take a look first."
