Lord Highlander

In just one week, the first swordsman regiment led by the great swordsman Quintus has initially adapted to the environment and climate in this rainforest. The humidity in this rainforest is extremely high, even in the dense jungle, everywhere There are shrubs, vines, and ferns growing in the jungle. There are many small animals and birds in the jungle, but the large beasts and meat animals are basically invisible. A jungle leopard cat can dominate this jungle.

From the mouths of the magicians of the Law Enforcement Corps, it is known that there have been traces of the reconnaissance team of the Third Legion of the Lord Army in the vicinity.

The Great Swordsman Quintus led the Constructed Swordsman Group into this rainforest, looking for traces of the reconnaissance team, and wanted to capture one or two scouts from the third legion of the lord's army, so as to find out the intelligence on the other side.

The jungle is damp, and some rotten trees are lying in the jungle, and there are slippery moss everywhere, and you will slip if you are not careful when walking.

There is a lot of water vapor in the rotten leaf soil. If you step into it, water will seep into the footprints.

Many trees and vines in the rainforest are covered with thorns. If you want to pass through this kind of thorns, you need not only prepare a machete, but also wear a thorn-proof leather armor. Although the moisture in the leaf rot is almost saturated, the long-term Boots step on it, but the soles will not get much mud.

The food chain here is very simple. Flying insects and poisonous snakes run rampant in the forest. The spotted leopard cats in the jungle like to catch snakes very much, and most of the birds in the forest feed on these flying insects.

A team of five constructed swordsmen entered this rainforest. The leader who walked in the front used a sword to pick away a small green snake with the thickness of a thumb. The group passed through the trees with huge aerial roots. Those colorful insects Stop casually on a tree trunk.

They have been walking in this rainforest for most of the day, following the footprints of a row of military boots.

The leading Constructed Swordsman captain was good at tracking, and he didn't see any traps along the way, so it shouldn't be a hunter passing by here.

The captain of the constructed swordsman suddenly stopped behind a big tree, and winked at a constructed swordsman behind him. Using both hands and feet, the constructed swordsman climbed up a big tree in a few strokes and squatted Peeping forward on a leafy branch.

Soon he slid down from the tree and said to the captain of the Constructed Swordsman:

"Captain, those people are right in front, a total of fifteen people, three dogs..."

The Constructed Swordsman captain whispered:

"Attention everyone, get ready to fight, keep two alive and take them back, kill the dog first."

"yes!"

The constructed swordsmen responded softly.

Five Constructed Swordsmen surrounded the Lord Army's reconnaissance team who were resting in the forest from all sides.

...

This reconnaissance team has a total of twelve members and belongs to the standard infantry team.

They are a reconnaissance team, so each team member is equipped with a jungle hunting bow, short sword and shield, and they are also wearing leather armor that is easy to travel through the forest.

The members of the reconnaissance team found a mysterious tree in the jungle. In fact, there is nothing special about this big tree. It has a huge root system that lifts the whole big tree to a height of nearly two meters. The crown of the tree is like a flower umbrella in a secret room. Small white flowers bloom between the star-shaped leaves.

This small flower exudes a refreshing fragrance, which not only has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, but also has the effect of repelling mosquitoes.

The rainforest is sultry and hot, there are many mosquitoes, and the forest is full of thorny vines. The soldiers usually cover themselves tightly in the forest.

In the jungle, every mysterious tree is a rare resting place. This scouting team has been in the jungle for three days, and now it is ready to take a good rest before returning to the Seventh Infantry Battalion of the Third Army.

Hellhounds hate the humid environment here very much. The humid water vapor makes the lava veins on the surface of their skin form a thick layer of hard skin. In the forest, these sharp-edged hard skins are always scratched everywhere. Now their bodies are stained. It was covered with green moss, and these wet moss were quickly dehydrated by the heat of the hell dog on the hell dog, and finally became some green powder floating in the air, with a pungent smell.

Cerberus particularly hate this smell.

Three demon servants completely wrapped in black robes were using branches to dust the moss off the hellhound's body.

Their skin transformed into that of a hellhound, like volcanic rock flowing through mottled black rock formations, with blood seeping out of cracks.

The three demon servants sat together silently with pain in their eyes.

In contrast, the twelve soldiers of the reconnaissance team seemed much more relaxed. They spread their sleeping bags under the tree, took off their light leather armor and lay on it, enjoying the rare coolness.

At this moment, the three hellhounds lying under the tree suddenly got up, and the three pairs of blood-red pupils looked around vigilantly.

The demon servants stood up hastily, and one of them shouted to the investigation team in a hoarse voice: "Enemy attack..."

The soldiers of the reconnaissance team woke up from their sleep. They put on the light leather armor indiscriminately, but it was too late.

There was a rustling sound in the forest, and the branches above his head shook suddenly. A constructed swordsman jumped down from the canopy, and the long sword in his hand flashed a sword light in the air.

A flash of sword light flashed across, and the hellhound pounced on the sky, and was killed by the construct warrior on the spot.

The moment the constructed swordsman landed, he stepped on the air roots of the mysterious tree with his feet slanted, his body curled up and rolled to the left, avoiding the bite of the other two hellhounds, the long sword in his hand was like a spirit It pierced the demon servant's chest like a snake.

A fistful of purple blood burst out from the demon servant's chest, and he fell backwards.

In this gap, four constructed swordsmen rushed out from four directions of the forest at the same time. The magic pattern structures on their bodies were shining with gorgeous magic patterns, and their bodies were as light as leopard cats in the jungle. Every jump has a unique rhythm.

For ordinary soldiers, these three hellhounds are definitely more ferocious monsters than tigers and leopards, but under the joint efforts of the four constructed swordsmen, the remaining two hellhounds were decapitated one after another. Seeing the death of the hellhound, the three demon servants immediately went mad and rushed towards the constructed swordsman.

The demon servants wailed and stretched out their sharp claws, but they were beheaded one by one by the constructed swordsmen beside the hellhound.

When the soldiers of the reconnaissance team saw the swordsmen wearing the magic pattern structure, they immediately knew what kind of swordsmen they encountered. They didn't even have the courage to fight, and some of them didn't even have time to wear the leather armor on their bodies. , under the captain's whistle, they immediately dispersed and fled to the dense forest.

The captain of the constructed swordsmen naturally wouldn't let them escape like this. Relying on the speed advantage provided by the magic pattern construct, they pierced the thighs of the two slowest scouting team soldiers under the tree, and then used a dagger to pierce the thighs of their right hands. Palms nailed to the tree trunk.

This is what they left alive...

When chasing and killing other members of the reconnaissance team, these constructed swordsmen can move freely.

They were like a group of jungle headhunters, almost jumping repeatedly, catching up from behind with a sword on the throat, and immediately went after the next one.

This team of constructed swordsmen cooperated very tacitly with each other. Almost everyone chased and killed two soldiers of the reconnaissance team one after another, and then dragged their bodies back to the tree. The items on the soldiers of the reconnaissance team, including leather weapons, etc. , of course became their spoils of war.

If the fighters of these reconnaissance teams don't have any oil on them, they can also report them as achievement points.

Of course, if you want to ask for merit points, all the items on the soldiers of these reconnaissance teams will be confiscated.

...

Except for two soldiers from the reconnaissance team whose thighs were almost completely broken, they were brought back to Suldak's camp, and even the body of a demon servant was brought back.

The corpse of the demon servant was already lying in a tent in the camp. A group of magicians lifted the corpse to the table, and everyone dissected the demon servant in a hurry...

Archmage Harper looked at the gradually decaying organs with a dignified expression.

There was a rancid smell in the tent. Master Harper pulled out the silver knife and looked at the blackened edge. These internal organs were gradually becoming demonized.

"It should be an ordinary resident of the plane." Archmage Harper lowered his head and said expressionlessly.

"Why did they sign a soul contract with the hellhound?" A young magician standing behind the crowd asked suspiciously.

"In order to control these hell dogs more effectively, these people can sign a devil contract with these hell dogs by dedicating their souls to the big devil through some kind of evil ceremony. Although they have become such ugly appearances, they are basically In fact, it is equivalent to having the lifespan of a hellhound, but in order to live a few more days, the price paid is a bit too high." A middle-aged magician explained accordingly.

"How come so many people are willing to become servants of the devil?" The young magician sighed again.

"What if they didn't do it voluntarily?" Archmage Harper raised his head, glanced around sternly, and asked.

The faces of the magicians around changed slightly, and everyone remained silent, as if if they stopped talking, that kind of cruel thing would not happen.

...

On the other side of the camp, in order to prevent the two fighters from the investigation team from dying early during the interrogation process, Suldak personally treated their wounds and performed basic hemostasis. The worn wound was re-sewed.

The great swordsman Quintus, as the chief judge, sat under a big tree, and two recruits from the infantry regiment dug a hole silently beside the big tree with shovels.

Both pits were about two meters long and half a meter wide.

Under the big tree, the roots are criss-crossed, which is not easy to dig.

The great swordsman Quintus was sharpening a dagger with a whetstone, and the constructed swordsmen escorted the two scouting team soldiers under the big tree.

The soldiers of the Lord's Army saw the two square pits under the tree, and their faces turned a little pale.

The great swordsman Quintus patted the bloodless faces of the two with his dagger, and approached them and said:

"Listen well, I'll just say these words once. When I ask you questions, if you answer without thinking, hesitate, don't know...or answer incorrectly, you will be punished. The punishment is very simple. Cut off your fingers... If you get your toes on, you have twenty chances to get the wrong answer or fail to answer!"

He paused, and with a cruel smile on the scarred face, he opened his mouth and said:

"Also, don't worry, my questions are not difficult! The two of you rush to answer together..."

For a moment, the air seemed to be blocked.

No one in the Constructed Swordsman Regiment was willing to watch the interrogation of the Great Swordsman Quintus. Only a group of recruits from the Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment in the distance did not dare to approach, so they could only watch from a distance.

"Where are you from?" Quintas the Great Swordsman said suddenly.

The highly nervous reconnaissance team soldier immediately blurted out: "The Seventh Infantry Regiment of the Third Legion..."

"Number...third..." The other soldier might have been a little nervous, so he not only stuttered, but also got stuck in the middle.

"You are slow!" Quintas pointed to the soldier.

Immediately, two constructed swordsmen came up from behind. One held his arm and covered his mouth with his hand. The other swordsman chopped off his finger like cutting a carrot, and his bloody thumb rolled away. fell on the soil under the tree.

"Woooo..."

The soldier's mouth was covered, and he couldn't even utter a scream.

After a short pause, the great swordsman Quintus raised his hand again and said:

"Second question, where did these demon servants come from?"

"It was brought by those black magicians!"

"Arktown."

The two blurted out almost at the same time, but when they said "Brought by the Black Mage", their eyes were obviously wide open, and they almost shouted with a bitter voice in despair:

"Oh, I also know it's Ake Town..."

Seeing that the emotions of the two captives had been brought up, the great swordsman Quintas showed a little satisfaction, and said slowly:

"Very well, let's continue... What is the mission of the Seventh Infantry Regiment of the Third Army?"

"..."

No one answered.

"Woo..."

This time, the mouths of the two were covered at the same time, and they let out a suppressed scream.

The two soldiers of the investigation team finally died during the interrogation process. The great swordsman Quintus asked a lot of information, which required the scout team of the magician investigation team and the construction swordsman team to rush to verify.

...

In fact, according to the information obtained by Quintas Great Swordsman:

Due to the serious disconnection of the logistics supply line of the Lord Army, the entire Third Army was almost scattered in this mountain range.

Commander Groval McDonnell was Lord MacDonnell's seventh son, this young man who hastily took over the command of the Third Army Corps did not have any leadership.

Although he led the Third Army to break through five rebel camps in one fell swoop and achieved major results in Bansko Town, this only shows that the Third Army is an elite force and has nothing to do with his command ability.

At present, the Third Legion is trapped in the Black Crow Ridge area, and there are three voices in the Legion alone.

The commanders of the cavalry regiment suggested to keep the original results, return to the town of Bansko, and then start preparations for the logistics regiment, and make further plans for the westward expedition.

The commanders of the infantry regiment suggested that the five camps of the rebel army should be the center, search outwards, thoroughly remove the hidden dangers in the suburbs of Bansko Town, and then advance steadily to the west.

However, the young commander, Grova, intends to attack the rear of the rebel army in one go. If the rebel army can be eliminated in one fell swoop, he can easily control the situation in the south.
