Lord of Hyranza

However, the two lost the protection of the secondary invisibility potion, so they didn't dare to approach the temple easily, so they could only worry about it on the roof of the residential house.

Afterwards, Suldak heard a giant hellhound standing on the roof of the temple and let out an angry roar, which made Suldak feel more relaxed. The anger of the hellhounds can only mean that they have not found scouting team.

Suldak asked the Nanai native beside him, "Andrew, what secret do you think is hidden in the temple?"

The Nanai native warrior said honestly: "In short, it can't be the passage of hell or the gate of the devil."

……

The half-elf archer leaned against a relief of an angel, and she looked up at the night sky covered in dark clouds.

Viscount Emmett could only see the blurred outline of the half-elf archer. She sat under the statue and looked calm and elegant. However, there was a world of difference in the status of the half-elf elves and the pure-blood elves in the Grimm Empire.

The existence of half-elves in imperial society means that some elf slaves who were abandoned by slave owners or fled privately were born after combining with humans. These half-elves do not have the shelter of noble families, and they are usually not recognized by normal society. But this time, I have to say that Suldak has a good eye for seeing people. If it weren't for the half-elf archer, maybe the knight reconnaissance team would have been wiped out by now.

Seeing the hellhounds jumping from the roof of the temple, the temple regained its former tranquility.

The half-elf archer lightly jumped off the base of the statue, stood on the ridge and looked around, and then returned to call the knights to get off the base of the statue. This time, she chose to tie the rope to a fine iron arrow. Go up, and then point the forest bow at a tall fir tree outside the wall, shoot an arrow with the bow, and the fine steel arrow is nailed into the tree trunk with a thin cable.

The half-elf archer straightened the thin rope and tied it to the base of the statue. Without waiting for Viscount Emmett to speak, he took out a dagger with a small iron hook at the end of the handle , Samira held the dagger backwards, hung the iron hook on the thin rope and jumped lightly, her body lightly crossed the night sky, and plunged into the fir tree outside the courtyard.

Then Samira pulled a thicker rope over the thin rope and tied it to the fir tree again.

Waiting for the four knights on the opposite roof to row over one by one.

In the quiet night, there was a crisp sound of 'click' on the roof of the temple. A constructed knight accidentally stepped on a piece of blue tile, and the tile fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The sound is heard far away...

Chapter 445 Leaving Umezu Town

A giant hellhound as strong as a bull leaped up to the roof of the temple in a single leap, with a pair of bloodthirsty eyes fixed on the zip line under the Statue of Liberty. There was a hysterical roar in the direction, the body was like an erupting volcano, the lava patterns all over his body became radiant in the dark night, a scorching flame ignited on the hellhound's body, and it opened its huge mouth suddenly.

The abdomen contracted violently, a jet of hot magma spurted from the throat of the giant hellhound, a tongue of flame swept across the roof of the temple, countless sparks flew down to the bottom of the temple, and the hot magma poured on the bushes, these lush green The bushes suddenly burst into flames.

Under the light of the flames, the last Constructed Knight skimmed over the zipline and crashed into the fir tree in a panic.

A knight in the constructed knight team appeared under the firelight. He slid down from the fir tree, and a large group of hell dogs chased him out from the temple. He leaned his back on the fir tree and pulled out the knight from his waist. Long Jian, at this moment, his face was slightly pale, and although there was fear in his eyes, he still lunged firmly.

Facing the hell dogs rushing up, a phantom of a statue of a knight appeared behind him. He knew that he couldn't outrun the hell dogs with his speed, so he prepared to fight into the hell dogs with his own strength. Kill some hellhounds.

At this time, there was a 'click' from the Construct Knight's feet, and a bottle of lesser invisibility potion appeared in front of his feet.

It was thrown to him by Viscount Emmett who was hiding in the shadows. He didn't dare to think about it. He quickly picked up the bottle of invisibility potion from the ground, pulled out the cork and drank it in one gulp. Before it was dark, he stepped into the shadow of the big tree, and his body disappeared without a trace.

A large group of hellhounds rushed under the tree, and once again came to nothing.

The three giant hellhounds rushing to the front sprayed hot lava again, but unfortunately this time they didn't burn out the constructed knight in the shadows.

……

Just after the constructed knight became invisible again, the silhouettes of Viscount Emmett and others appeared again in his vision. Samira waved at him again and again. The constructed knight did not dare to neglect this time, and quickly followed the half-elf archer Instructions, quickly ran out from under the tree.

As soon as he emerged from under the fir tree, hot lava sprayed out, nearly revealing him again.

The half-elf archer and a few knights stood on the high wall opposite the back street of the temple. Those hellhounds were clearly under the high wall, but they turned a blind eye to them.

Samira, the half-elf archer, led the knight reconnaissance team and quickly left the temple along the high wall. The group made a big circle before returning to the residence where Suldak and Andrew were.

Suldak saw that the courtyard door was pushed open quietly, but there was no figure at the door, and he breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't show his figure, it meant that there was no battle. In this case, there would probably be no reduction in personnel. Suldak led Andrew into the yard from the ridge of the roof, and saw an evacuation pattern on the wall.

Suldak said to the boy, "Buta, do you know where is the safest way to leave town?"

The boy Buta nodded without hesitation and said, "I know!"

He didn't go through the front door, but ran directly across the yard into the back alley, and whispered to Suldak and Andrew, "Come with me!"

The boy hesitated, and asked Surdak, "Can you swim?"

Even if the Constructed Knight couldn't swim, he wouldn't drown if he fell into the river. Suldak nodded without hesitation.

He knows that hellhounds hate places with water, because their bodies have the heat of lava, and once they fall into the water, their skin will quickly petrify, and as long as they move, the skin on their bodies will be in pieces The shedding of the flakes will not cause death, but it will definitely make the hell dog die of pain.

Seeing Suldak nodding, Buta didn't say anything more, but turned around and got into the alley, leading the way without saying a word.

This road was very familiar to Buta, and soon he took Surdak and Andrew to the inner river in the town. He said it was an inner river, but it looked more like a large canal. There were two riverside wharves A hellhound, this kind of ordinary hellhound is basically delivering food to Suldak and Andrew.

Buta just blinked his eyes, and Suldak had already rushed forward and chopped off the head of one hellhound. The other hellhound had no time to react, and Suldak used the dwarf chain shield in his hand. Stunned, Andrew, who came one step later, could only chop off the head of the second hellhound with the giant ax in his hand.

The pier was completely quiet.

The boy Buta pointed to the direction of the inner river, and said to Andrew: "Follow this river and you can leave the town. Those hell dogs don't like water, and there are few hell dogs on both sides of this river." , and you can always dive and swim out.”

After speaking, the boy pulled two reeds from the bank, peeled off the leaves on them, made two ventilation pipes and handed them to Andrew and Suldak.

With a breathing tube in his hand, Andrew asked the boy Buta with a puzzled expression, "Since you know how to leave the town, why didn't you run away?"

"It's too late then!" the boy Buta shook his head lightly and said with a wry smile.

At this time, Suldak squatted in front of the brave boy Buta, looked into his big clear eyes, and asked seriously: "Hey! Buta, leave the town with us, we can take you to Wojmara Cheng, do you want to go with us?"

Buta blinked, pointed to his nose, and confirmed, "Me?"

Surdak nodded.

Buta thought for a few seconds with a tangled face, and then said to Suldak: "I really want to go with you...but I can't, I still have to take care of those guys, without me, the food in the basement is gone Afterwards, they would starve to death inside."

Although he knew it would be this answer, Suldak couldn't help asking Buta again before leaving.

Suldak patted Buta's thin shoulder hard and said: "Then you have to take care... It's best to hide in the basement, if you can't come out, it's better not to come out, we'll be back soon!"

"I know." Buta nodded seriously.

At this time, there were faint ripples on the river surface, and one after another reed tubes protruded from the dark river surface.

Suldak also walked towards the stone steps of the pier, but before he stepped into the river, he stopped suddenly. He turned around and reached for his waist, pulled out a magic scroll from his pocket, and threw it to the Buta, and said to him: "By the way, these are for you to use as an emergency!"

Standing on the pier, Buta looked blankly at the magic scroll in his hand, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Suldak didn't want to explain how to use the scroll. Although this kind of scroll is not cheap, many people still know how to use it.

He said to the boy: "The fire-focusing scroll can replace firewood, but this scroll can only burn for [-] hours, so be careful to use it sparingly."

Then he took out a bag full of marching rations from his magic pocket, and said carefully to Buta: "These are marching rations, although they are a bit unpalatable, but such a small bag can maintain a person's daily needs." , allowing you to persist in the basement for a few more days."

After doing this, Surdak went down the river step by step and dived into the water.

At this time, the boy didn't dare to stand on the pier all the time. He quickly picked up a bag of marching rations, inserted the magic scroll into his belt, and quickly walked into an alley, disappearing in an instant.

……

The inner river in the town is connected to the waterway of the river outside the town, so the team sneaked out of the town through the waterway of the river, without being spotted by the hellhounds along the way.

The scouting team landed by a bush outside the city.

At this time, all the members of the team were already in shape, and everyone was sitting wet in the bushes. Taking advantage of the half-elf archer to identify the exact location of the team, Viscount Emmet, who had been highly nervous for half the night, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care about the thorns on the twigs of the bushes behind him, and just lay down on it, letting his body relax.

At this time, several constructed knights who saw the devil's son in the temple began to discuss:

"What exactly are those things?"

Everyone was a little unclear, and someone said directly: "How could a demon be born in a dog's belly?"

Viscount Emmett said at this time: "The hell demons did this probably to prevent the passage of hell from collapsing when passing through high-level demons. They hid their offspring in the belly of the hell dog, so that those There is no problem for the hell dog to pass through the tunnel of hell. Many hell demons use this method when they approach a certain plane, and those are the sons of demons."

"We must get this news out as soon as possible, first go to join the large army, then find a safe place, and send a signal to the magician investigation team."

"They must know about these demon sons. Speaking of which, the demon sons born of these inferior demons and hell monsters have another name—magicians call them 'demons'."

"They will inherit half of the parent's command, and once they grow up, they will become the leader of the hellhound."

Suldak had never heard of this kind of thing before, and it still felt a little appalling to think about it now.

The knight reconnaissance team didn't stay by the river for too long. There were still hell dogs patrolling here and there, but a few hell dogs couldn't pose a threat to the knight team at all. With the snout out of the way, ambushing a Hellhound is much easier.

Viscount Emmett and his party of seven rushed back to the battlefield in the forest, on the battlefield here.

At this moment, there are still a large number of hell dogs coming from all directions. Taniguchi is already full of corpses of a large number of hell dogs. A team of guard battalion knights hold shields and form a shield wall at Taniguchi. Those hell dogs Jump forward and fight with these knights. There are several giant hell dogs hidden in the dog pack, and ordinary knights can't stop them at all.

A giant hellhound suddenly pounced on a knight of the guard battalion holding a knight's lance in his hand. It happened that Suldak passed by and rushed forward with a cross-body step. The dwarf chain shield in his hand hit the side of the hellhound. , Immediately burst out a piece of silver light, hitting the hell dog staggeringly.

The guard battalion knight who crawled out from under the giant hellhound took the opportunity to stab the giant hellhound with a shot. The giant hellhound was extremely tenacious and bit the knight back, but was stabbed by Suldak's sword. Into the eye socket of a giant hellhound.

The battle here has lasted for most of the night, and the attacks of the hellhounds have never stopped.

The knights of the three guard battalions took turns to fight. Only when giant hell dogs appeared in the attacking hell dogs group, the constructed knights in the team would rush out to deal with those giant hell dogs.

Seeing the safe return of Viscount Emmet with the knight squad, the Hailansa Guard Battalion guarding the valley mouth gave out cheers of celebration.

In fact, only the reconnaissance team from the Hailansa Guard Battalion came back the latest.

The reconnaissance team of the Plus City Guard Battalion was the first to return, but they were also the reconnaissance team with the heaviest casualties. When they sneaked into the town, two patrol teams of hellhounds appeared from both ends of the alley at the same time. At that time, there was no other way to go in the alley, and Li Ke couldn't climb over the wall. He could only use force to fight out of the town when he couldn't avoid it. bit.

The reconnaissance team of the Guard Battalion in Constantinople confirmed that Meijin Town did not have hell portals and ghost gates, and quickly left Meijin Town.

The reconnaissance mission in Meijin town was considered complete, and the commanders of the three guard battalions felt that they should quickly evacuate from here according to the next battle plan.

Dozens of kerosene bombs were thrown at the mouth of the valley by the knights, and a wall of fire was formed immediately. The knights of the guard battalion in Plus City fired three rounds of intensive crossbow arrows at the jungle in front of them, successfully suppressing the hellhound The rhythm of the attack, and then plunged into the jungle without looking back.

Until the sky brightened, the hellhounds behind failed to catch up, only some scattered hellhounds in the woods were basically dealt with by the construction knights in the team, and when the three guard battalions withdrew to a hill At this time, the sky had completely brightened, and the hellhounds in Meijin Town did not leave the town too far, and the other hellhounds did not pose any threat to the guard camp.

When the three guard battalions rested on the top of the mountain and counted the number of people, they realized that among the [-] guard battalion knights dispatched this time, the number of knights who walked out of the battlefield last night was less than [-] alive. Compared with the other two guard battalions, the Hailansa Guard Battalion suffered the lightest loss this time, and did not lose any Constructed Knights.

Moreover, during this reconnaissance mission, the Hailansa Guard Battalion directly found the temple in the small town of Meijin, and discovered that the temple had become a breeding ground for hell dogs.

The three guard battalion commanders immediately decided to immediately release the magic signal flare calling for the magician scouting team, and explain the situation of the town to the magicians...

Chapter 446 The Entrustment of the Magician

On the peak of an unnamed mountain, Viscount Emmett and the commanders of the other two guard battalions got together to discuss the matter of notifying the magician investigation team.

After leaving the town of Meijin, the Knights of the Guard Battalion did not return to Wojmara City by the same route, but plunged head-on into the jungle, walked west along the river valley for about half a day, and completely drove the hellhounds in Meijin Town far away. Throwing aside, this mountain forest is not the path of hell dogs, and the farther away from Wojmara city, even if there are scattered hell dogs in the surrounding area, there will be fewer and fewer hell dogs encountered.

Along the way, I also saw a small village that was slaughtered by hell dogs. The whole village had been burned to ruins by the lava fire.

Due to the abundance of supplies for this operation, Viscount Emmet believes that the guard battalion can also contain the hell dogs outside the small town of Meijin, preventing the hell dogs in the town and the grown-up demon sons from migrating and hiding. Therefore, they stationed on the hillside of Wuming Peak, which is less than [-] kilometers away from Meijin Town, and dispatched more than [-] scout teams led by Constructed Knights to closely observe the movements of the hellhounds in Meijin Town. .

As three gorgeous magic flares exploded in the dusk sky, gorgeous and colorful colors bloomed.

The Earl of Collins, the guard camp of Pless City, walked up to Viscount Emmett. The Collins family is considered a noble in Pless City. After retiring from the official position, although the Collins family is not as glorious as it used to be, the members of the Collins family are deeply rooted in various departments of Plus City, which is far from comparable to the Emmett family in Hailansa City.

And Emmett is only a second-class viscount, two levels behind Earl Collins in the rank of Lord.

Viscount Owen, the commander of Constantinople, is one of the most outstanding young people in the younger generation of the Owen family. The Owen family has ruled Constantinople for nearly 200 years, and all departments of Constantinople have been taken over by the Owen family. Control, although Viscount Owen is on the same level as Viscount Emmett in the rank of lord, his future development will be smooth.

Ordinarily, this reconnaissance mission is no matter what, Viscount Emmett can't take the position of the real commander, but it is precisely the city of Hailansa that has successfully completed the reconnaissance mission, so the two commanders tried their best to get Amy Viscount Te pushed to the position of first commander.

After completing the task, according to Earl Collins' idea, the three guard battalions will return to Wojmara along the road they traveled before, which is the safest way.

However, the two young commanders Emmet and Owen had different opinions. The Viscount Owen of Constantinople was more radical. He believed that the three guard battalions should be combined to attack the small town of Meijin immediately and kill the demon sons in the town. He was killed in infancy, but the [-] knights now, even if they stick to Taniguchi, it is too much to resist the attack of the hellhounds in Meijin town, so the strategy of attacking Meijin town is obviously too radical.

In the end, it was Viscount Emmett who suggested that the knights of the guard battalion retreat to the outskirts of Meijin Town, and sent a large number of scout teams to closely investigate around Meijin Town, to prevent the devil's son from Meijin Town from being transferred secretly, and try to avoid fighting with hell dogs. Keep fighting power and wait for Wozmara City to send Construct Knights to wipe out the hellhounds in Meijin town.

……

Earl Collins stood on a rock, looking at the undulating mountains in the distance and the setting sun that was about to fall into the mountain ridge. His gray beard and hair were a little disheveled by the spring and summer wind of the Maca plane. His eyes fell on the Plex guard camp In the forest glade where they were stationed, this operation was considered to be the guard battalion with the most serious casualties among the three guard battalions so far.

Earl Collins has participated in at least hundreds of wars, large and small, in his life.

Five years ago, the priests and battle priests of the Temple of Liberty had not withdrawn from the Grimm Empire. At that time, each battle group would have a priest in charge of healing and two battle priests. The knights at that time were not afraid of being injured at all. , the knights on the battlefield marched forward bravely, but when hundreds of thousands of priests and battle priests withdrew from the Grimm Empire one after another, it was difficult to see the priests on the battlefield.

Since then, when wounds mean death on the battlefield, brave knights have grown timid.

The Knights of the Guard Battalion of Puls City were also issued three years ago with standard military repeating crossbows. Shooting the enemy with crossbows can minimize the casualties of one's own side. At that time, Earl Collins was quite proud of himself for this move, but it was short-lived. In just three years, the knights who used to pick up standard military crossbows no longer knew how to use spears and shields. This time, the scouting mission on the Maca plane revealed a fatal flaw.

After the melee ability of the guard battalion knights in Plus City was greatly weakened, they were on the battlefield of the Maca plane.Once the hellhounds pounced on the army formation, the resistance and fighting will of the knights of the Plush Guard Battalion were also the worst, and the army became a mess. This is also the root cause of the largest number of casualties in the Guard Battalion of Plush City.

A guard battalion knight from Hailansa City was holding a silver long knife to heal the wounded Plex knight at the moment.

From time to time, a ball of holy light appeared from the knight's hand, attracting the attention of Earl Collins.

He thought of those battle priests in the temple back then. They also wore battle armor to fight with the knights, but when they were resting, they would put down their weapons and use the holy power in their bodies to heal the knights.

With the protection of the goddess, they seem to be tireless, constantly busy like a war machine. Only when the sun rises, they need a short time to meditate and pray to restore the divine power in their bodies.

The knight of Hailansa City also kept treating the injured knight like a battle priest.

For a moment, Earl Collins' thoughts flew back to a few years ago. At that time, he was still in his prime. He rode a horse and ran from morning to night without feeling tired. Like falling apart, he didn't even dare to lie down, because he was worried that he might not be able to get up if he lay down.

The Earl of Collins jumped off the boulder, and sat down against it.

Viscount Emmet came to him and sat aside, squinting at the sunset in the sky.

"Why do you have battle priests in your guard battalion?" Earl Collins looked at Suldak's busy figure and asked Viscount Emmet curiously.

"Are you talking about the Suldak knight again?" Viscount Emmet knew who Earl Collins was talking about without asking carefully, and immediately explained: "He is not some kind of combat priest, he is just from the heavy armored infantry regiment. An ordinary soldier who came out now joined our Hailansa Guard Battalion and became a glorious Guard Battalion Knight. However, it is said that he has comprehended the sacred magic elements in his body and can practice both magic and martial arts like a magic swordsman. It's just a sacred magic element..."
