Chapter 2791 (1/2)
When we returned to Huangshi village, of course, we couldn't go straight into the village without hesitation. Before we came out, we already knew that there were dead creatures everywhere. So we took a relatively safe method, that is, to walk around the periphery of the village first.
Huangshi village is much smaller than Shanxia village, which has been burned into white land. Moreover, it is more like a village. As for Shanxia village, although its name is Shanxia village, it should be called shanxiazhai or Shanxia town. In terms of scale and type of construction, Shanxia village is not like a village. By contrast, Huangshi village is much more worthy of its name.
We carried out a simple investigation around the periphery of Huangshi village in order to find out where the corpses that surrounded us came from. However, we were very disappointed because we searched all around and found no place where the bodies might be hidden. Besides, there are not only one or two walking corpses. The hiding places must be very large, or there are many special ones. It should not be difficult to find such places, but as a result, we have not found any clues.
There is no trace of a walking corpse near the village, which means that the walking corpse did not run out nearby. There are three possibilities left. 1、 The walking corpse is hidden in the village, but this is not likely. After all, Huangshi village is basically half a ruins, and there is nothing to hide. The second possibility is that the walking corpse is summoned. If this is the case, it indicates that there is one or more summoning enemies nearby. Of course, I think it should be summoned by multiple enemies, not one. If a single person can summon so many corpses at a time, then the Summoner's power is too strong. At that time, I and Zhenhong's four soldiers were just barely able to rush out, and they could not do anything about those corpses. That is to say, the strength of the other side has exceeded the sum of our four people's fighting capacity. It's definitely a little exaggerated, so it's unlikely. The biggest possibility is that the zombies belong to multiple summoners, not to one summoner.
The third possibility is that the walking corpses still exist directly, but they are not hidden in the village, but come from the outside. However, this possibility is not high, because the moving speed of those walking corpses has indicated that they can't rush for a long distance, and our appearance is accidental. The other party can't move the corpse to wait for us in advance. Naturally, there is no possibility of the corpse rushing to us. Unless the other side is capable.
Considering many factors, the most likely thing is that the other party is summoned by a group of summoners, and the Summoner's moving speed is not slow. After all, it is very easy for the summoner to get a mount, so even if they can't run fast, the Summoner's moving speed will not be too slow.
After we have roughly identified the source of the corpse, our next step is to wait, and I believe the system will not make us wait too long.
In fact, as we had guessed, we just found some clues just after we found a place to hide around the village. At first, Zhenhong found out the situation, because a group of unidentified creatures ran past her hiding place, and Zhenhong took the opportunity to hear a few conversations from each other. The unidentified creatures, who seemed to be exploring the way, did not enter the village after coming here, but walked around the periphery and left the area directly.
As soon as the alien creatures left, a few people from the village came out. Of course, the man mentioned here only refers to the humanoid creatures. As for what it is, I don't know. Anyway, these guys obviously came out of the village because of the unidentified creatures. After they ran outside the village, these people stopped at the places where the creatures stayed. Then they looked at the far away creatures, and then they returned to the village.
It was not until these people returned that Zhenhong carefully moved to our side, and then whispered to me, ”is this going to war?”
The gold coin preempts a way: ”should be only to explore the way, behind the big army when also may not arrive.”
But Christina said, ”monsters are not human beings after all, and their battles should not be as strict as human wars, are they? Now that they have sent out the Pathfinder, I think we should be able to see a large force soon. ”
Zhenhong moved her hands and feet and said, ”I hope! I'm going to rust if I squat down again! ”
”You just lurked for more than ten minutes?” The gold coin joked.
”Life is like a year, do you understand? People's Day is equal to a year. How can I do it for two or three days? It's been lurking for two or three days. Isn't it normal to be a little tired? ”
”It's an exaggeration. You should take it seriously.”
We were fighting there. Suddenly, we heard a violent sound of horse's hooves. The speed was very fast. We were near us in the blink of an eye. I took a look at the situation outside and then disguised it again. I had seen the situation clearly just at a glance.
The people on the horses had no intention of concealing anything. A large group of cavalry rushed along the road. Less than half a minute after the sound of the cavalry's hooves, there was an immediate reaction in the villages here. Moreover, our old acquaintances came out first, that is, the group of walking corpses covered with cloth curtains.These corpses are still the same old style. After they appeared, they began to walk along the road to the cavalry at a very slow speed. They felt that they were going for a walk rather than fighting.
The cavalry on the opposite side, regardless of the situation here, those on the horse look like human beings, and most of them are no different from human beings. Only a few have animal heads on their heads. These guys are wearing armor made of bamboo, which is very common in Japan. Most of the weapons are Japanese knives, and a few of them use the giant Samurai razor we met before. Of course, the razors of these cavalry are of normal proportion, with a length of no more than two meters, and they are mainly light in use.
Galloping cavalry speed is very fast, almost in the blink of an eye has rushed to those corpses in front of. Of course, there is no suspense. The walking corpses are slow and stiff, and they have little combat effectiveness at all, that is to say, there are a lot of them. However, the problem is that there are a lot of cavalry, and the speed of the cavalry in the charge is too fast, and the impact of the horses is so great that the walking corpses can not stop the horses. If they fall down, they will be trampled by the cavalry behind them, and finally become a pile of rotten meat.
The fighting between the two sides was basically a massacre. The corpse brigade was completely defeated almost by one charge, but there was no bloody situation in the battle. There was almost no casualties on the side of the cavalry. Except for a few cavalry who lost their way and fell into the roadside Bush because the route was too close to the edge of the road, most of them rushed into the village smoothly. As for the corpse procession on the other side Although the whole army was almost destroyed, these walking corpses have been dead for a long time. In any case, even if they are chopped up, there is no trace of blood. At most, they are some pieces of meat.
Although I knew for a long time that the system wouldn't make us wait too long, I didn't expect that the speed would be so fast. People have already rushed in.
With the cavalry brigade into the village, we naturally jumped out and began to feel the village.
When the cavalry team passed by, I had a rough look at it. The total number of cavalry was only about 100. According to the intelligence of general Shiman, there were more than 200 monsters in the village over there. That is to say, in terms of the number, the monsters in the village had the absolute advantage. Of course, it's just a quantitative advantage. That group of foreign monsters dare to challenge the master here must have a certain understanding of the strength of the other party, and dare to attack in this case, which shows that the strength of the other party is not much worse than those monsters here, otherwise they should not dare to attack at all.
