Chapter 612: war (1/2)
On the edge of the Giant Wood Crossing area, Solderin and his steel ranger soldiers are approaching a small town.
The multi-purpose chariots of the advance team stopped outside the town. These solid steel-built vehicles temporarily acted as shield generators and energy stations, and built a temporary stronghold on a rocky high ground outside the town. The famous cavalry warrior climbed to the top of the chariot, heading towards the town, and pressed one of the organs on the side of the closed helmet with his hand.
The crystal eyepiece inlaid on the visor of the helmet is activated by magic, first turned into red, the warrior roughly glances at the town with the visual field of detection magic, and then the goggles switch to blue - the new eagle eye enhancement in the second generation eyepiece The user's vision, many details in the town immediately appeared in the eyes of the observer.
After a brief observation, there was a slightly dull voice in the helmet of the Ranger: "Sir, there are wandering crystal clusters in the town, and there is a clear magical reaction everywhere."
"The whole town has been infected..." Solderin's face was gloomy. "It seems that we have entered the infected area and cannot move on."
"There was no trace of the Dongjing Legion and Wang Guojun on this road..." the Ranger Warrior said, "Will they have all been finished?"
"...there is no way to determine that although the aristocracy is inferior in combat, at least there are a large number of extraordinary people sitting in the town, it is not so easy to be completely annihilated," Solderin said quietly. "Perhaps they gave up all the wilderness areas. Relying on the big cities, it may also be in the north and where the clusters are infected..."
He spoke of his own analysis, but he didn't have much confidence in his heart.
As a high-ranking ranger, and a high-ranking ranger who experienced the great development of 700 years ago, he still feels awkward in the face of this situation.
The strange "shen pollution" and the huge number of clusters infected people hindered the intelligence gathering work, even with the elite and powerful steel rangers, he could not determine how deep the contaminated area was.
This is not the same as it was seven hundred years ago. Seven hundred years ago, human beings fought on waste soil. In general, there is no need to consider whether there is any reinforcement or security zone in the wasteland ahead, because in the end, it will basically develop into a Waves - if you live, you will live, but you will be ruined by the whole army. There is no other route in front. The magic tide behind you will not give people room to think, but here... the situation is much more complicated.
Solderin analyzed the information collected in the last few days, while at the same time, several other Ranger soldiers were still observing the situation in the town: this was the first time they witnessed a large number of crystals in the case of non-encounter warfare. The scene in which the infected people gather together is a good opportunity to observe the laws of their activities.
Soon, the soldiers found some interesting situations.
"Sir, these ‘monsters... seem to be organized.”
Solderin stunned and immediately opened the Falcon Vision (Eagle's Hawkeye) and looked in the direction of the town.
As the soldiers saw, the clusters were infected... organized.
They are not wandering aimlessly, but are organized and there are some extraordinarily tall individuals who are directing them. Soldering sees the scenes of the "monsters" in groups of three and five, and also looks at them. It was their patrol and whistle in the town, and such a scene... was not observed before the wild encounter.
Soldering frowned and slowly recalled more details: Although the previous encounters in the wild were melee, the organization of the clusters seemed to be traceable.
They do have a match and a certain degree of command when they attack.
They... seem to retain a certain ability to think?
If this is the case, then the situation is even worse – thinking, but the cognitive approach is completely alienated, which means that they are not just monsters that are irrational after being infected.
These clusters of infected people...is an army.
Thinking about it, the situation in the distant town suddenly showed new changes.
Solderlin saw that the clusters of infected people gathered on the west side of the town were inexplicably instigated, and then several extra large clusters of giants appeared in his field of vision. The cluster giants quickly convened a large scale. The team rushed away from the town toward the northwest.
Driven by curiosity, Solderin looked at the direction in which the invaders were moving. At the end of the field of vision, he saw a rising smoke and a flash of magic.
There was a battle over there.
"There may be survivors - get on the bus!"
......
When the evening came, the embarrassing southern gateway finally appeared in the field of vision.
Berk stopped in the wilderness, and in the warm winds of spring, he looked at the rolling mountains in the south and the majestic fortress that stood proudly between the mountains.
A horse with a hairy color rested uncomfortably beside him, constantly shoveling the land under his feet and snoring.
This horse is "on the road" on his way. The owner of the horse may have fled, leaving only the poor livestock to roam in the wilderness. It is certainly not comparable to Berk’s former love horse, even in the army. Any one of the horses, but in any case, it helped a lot in the second half of this difficult trek, greatly shortening the journey time.
Perhaps it was finally to see the end of the journey. Berk suddenly felt a lot easier. He smiled and patted the neck of this variegated horse. His tone was brisk: "Your credit is great - almost worthy of a knight."
The variegated horse snorted and shook his neck slightly.
Belk nodded in a good mood, then turned over and controlled the temporary travel companion who could not speak and continued to move forward to the fortress.
He knew that he was passing by the edge of the Earl of Pompeii, but he did not intend to see the plain aristocrats, and he did not even intend to rest in any of the nearby villages – on the one hand to save time and to minimize twists and turns. On the other hand, it is because he really does not feel tired.
Although he has been trekking in the wilderness for ten days, although he has hardly rested, he does not feel tired.
He just vaguely remembered that he was tired - but it seems to have been a long time ago.
The variegated horse trots in the relatively flat wilderness, and the comfortable wind blew on the face, inspiring the spirit of Berk, a strange expectation and a pleasant feeling to make him feel relaxed. Looking at the ruins of the Rock Fortress, the young Marquis began to plan for the follow-up in his heart -
First he would go through the Rock Fortress and enter the Rock City. He would tell the Sir Wald what happened to the Giant Wood Crossing and ask him to help warn the rulers of the South, the Great Wood Crossing, Sorinburg, Sorinburg...
