Lord of War

Vol 3 Chapter 486: . Forest of Sighs

  Sigh, forest is not simply a term for a forest, but a collective term specifically referring to a fierce land within the Millennium Covenant Empire.

  This forest area is extremely large. It is located in the eastern part of the empire, lying between the land of black soil and the eastern land of the empire. In the hearts of the people of the Millennium Covenant Empire, they never regarded the black soil east of the Sighing Forest as part of their empire's territory. The land is the territory of the empire.

  It’s not how kind the people of these thousand-year empires are willing to abandon their land, but this land is not a place that ordinary people can set foot in.

  Infected by the land of black soil, coupled with various reasons that the Covenant Empire has tried to recover this land of black soil for thousands of years, the undead gathered in the Forest of Sighs have reached an extremely exaggerated level. Among the residents of the Eastern Frontiers of the Thousand-Year Empire, there is a legend that has been passed down from generation to generation: any living beings approaching will disturb these undead sleeping in the forest of sighs. Then they will tear the earth apart and climb from the abyss. Out, pulling all the living into the world of the dead.

   Although the legend has a certain exaggeration, it is not nonsense. It's just that the undead creatures are not invincible in front of the strong with certain strength. At least the skeletons in the forest are not enough to stop a team composed of wizards, dragon knights, and many strong men. the power of.

  A sharp sword light slanted upwards.

   Although this sword light may seem sharp, it actually falls into the eyes of people who really understand swordsmanship, and it is easy to see that the power contained under this sword light is not large enough. If it were in a **** battle on the frontal battlefield, this sword light would be forcibly blocked or parried by the enemy because of the lack of sufficient threats. Of course, in terms of advantages, it is not without it, at least some agility can be seen in the refracted light and shadow after the sword light flies by.

  After the sword light passed. A bone frame was completely shattered and scattered on the black ground.

  If you think that this will solve the enemy, then these scattered bones will definitely bring unforgettable surprises to those who ignore them.

  The bones that were smashed by a sharp sword did not have any obvious broken marks, only a pale mark—a skeleton resurrected by the infection of the undead. As long as it is not the lowest-level skeleton soldier. But for slightly more advanced skeleton soldiers or skeleton warriors, then basically the bones on their bodies will become as hard as iron weapons. It is said that the more advanced the skeleton monster, the harder the bones will be-but in the land of sighs, obviously there is no more advanced monster than the skeleton warrior.

  The bones scattered on the ground began to tremble slightly, just like magnetic guidance, and began to gradually attract other bones.

  But before these bones regrouped, a long sword pierced directly into the skull on the side - in the sound of the friction of gold and iron. This hard skull can't stop the stabbing of the sharp sword at all.

  It sounded like a crying soul. Many bone fragments, including this skull, all turned into a piece of bone meal in an instant, smearing a white mark on this black land.

  Melly drew out the sharp sword that pierced the ground with too much force, and then turned her head to look around.

The threat around    has been completely relieved-while she was dealing with the skeleton warrior, her three companions were not idle. In other words, in addition to Lucinda Courtwell, Alyssa Omera and Relitha William have shown their extraordinary strength and easily solved their respective goals.

   Skeleton Warrior is an advanced enhancement of the Skeleton Soldier. Compared to a skeleton soldier whose bones are perfected, but the weapon is still a rusty knife. The skeleton warrior not only showed a white and dusty luster throughout the skeleton, but even the weapon was a machete that looked much more delicate. There was even an iron-clad cowhide wooden shield. In terms of offensive and defensive capabilities, skeleton soldiers are much better than skeleton soldiers.

  If the skeleton warriors are formed in groups, the undead creatures whose individual strength is only Tier 4 will be more terrifying than Tier 5, even reaching Tier 6 terrible combat power. For this reason, the most conventional method to deal with skeleton warriors is to use cutting and separation strike tactics, so that these skeleton warriors cannot form a group, so as to gain group advantage, and can only maintain weak individual strength.

  At least, with the strength of the four-member group of Relitha, a mercenary group, it is not a problem to deal with a dozen skeleton warriors alone.

  After solving the trouble of these dozens of skeleton warriors, the group of four gathered again.

   "I'm a little tired." It was Melly who spoke first.

  This young female swordsman does not focus on strength and endurance. On the contrary, she takes a route that requires more skill-that is, commonly known as a light swordsman. Compared with the fast swordsman, the light swordsman's attack speed is not fast; and compared with the swordsman of the mean line, they are not known for their strength and endurance; the reason why the light swordsman was not removed from the branch of the swordsman genre at that time , Is because this kind of swordsman has very good attack ability and advance ability.

   However, it is precisely because the two attributes of strength and endurance are not excellent, so the light swordsman is not good at protracted combat.

"We have been on the road for a long time. This is really not easy for Melly." Lucinda, who knows Melly's situation, said, and at the same time took out a few small test tubes from her body, and began to mix them on the spot. Finally, he produced a test tube with a pink liquid in it and handed it to Melly, "Drink it, it can speed up your physical recovery."

  Melly frowned, obviously repelling this medicine. Only after hesitating for a long time, Melly took the test tube, then raised her head with a generous expression on her face and drank the liquid in the test tube. In an instant, all of Melly's exposed skin turned pink, and a large amount of white mist rose from the pores. This strange phenomenon lasted for about four or five seconds, and then everything went away. Back to normal.

  And Melly, the exhausted color on her face has completely disappeared, replaced by a look of spirit, as if she had a full sleep.

   "If it doesn't taste like the smelly water in the sewer, I would really like to eat this." Melly handed the test tube back to Lucinda, and then hurriedly took out the water bag and started to rinse her mouth. But even after rinsing it several times, Melly still feels sick.

"It's not enough to eat as a meal, this thing is just squeezing your potential." Lucinda put the test tube away, and then said, "When the efficacy time is over, you will feel very tired.... But anyway, we are fast. Today’s task has been reached. You just have to take a good rest tonight. Tomorrow will be fine."

   "Oh." Melly sighed, a little helpless, "Head, when are we going to carry out this kind of reconnaissance mission."

"Until the target is found." Alyssa Omera, the head of the petite mercenary group, said, "Originally, for this operation, we didn't need to enter the Forest of Sighs. But the target suddenly deviated. The direction entered the Forest of Sighs. So we had to keep up.... Anyway, our task is to find the location of the target as soon as possible, and then report to Miss Cecilia."

   "Okay." Melly murmured something.

"Just treat this as a trial." Rilitha said in a deep voice, "We originally took refuge in Duke Shaun to hone ourselves and break through the shackles of the sanctuary. Now this kind of opportunity is treated as an opportunity. A new training will be fine."

Alyssa Omera pondered for a while, and her eyes lit up, and she smiled: "That's it. It's the younger sister of Lord William. I see the problem so thoroughly. I'm still wondering why Miss Cecilia before. Arranged for us to conduct a search in front of the enemy, but you have no objection."

Rilitha snorted. Then began to continue to explore the way forward.

  Alissa Omela naturally followed quickly.

  Only Melly, and some have not figured out the situation: "What's the matter?"

Lucinda sighed helplessly, and then explained: "There are countless skeletons in the Forest of Sighs, almost endlessly killed. So Miss Cecilia arranged for us to leave the main force and go forward alone except for Let us conduct investigations, but more so that we know how to make choices.... Here, blindly relying on force to solve the enemy is not the way to win. We must learn how to better retain physical strength and combat effectiveness."

   "Oh." Melly responded.

   But Lucinda looked at Melly, obviously not expecting this guy to understand what she just said.

   But this time, the forward speed of this small group of four mercenaries has been significantly increased, and the frequency of fighting has also decreased. Of course, it is more of a tactical change. They are no longer limited to relying on the strength of the golden strong to carry out crushing open roads, but begin to make roundabouts and advances, so that under the same endurance restriction conditions, The distance they traveled is even further.

Located at a distance of about four or five hundred meters behind Rui Lista and others, Cecilia felt that the frequency of battles in front of the team was getting lower and lower, and the distance between her and other powerful players was gradually increasing. Celia's mouth raised slightly.

"Oh, the comprehension ability is pretty good." Angel on the side also felt the change, so she said, "I originally thought it would be at least three or four days before it, but I didn't expect it to be the third. Tian has already begun to understand flexibility.... But with their advanced tune, the latter is the trouble."

   Hearing Angel’s voice, Cecilia’s rare raised mouth quickly disappeared, and her complexion didn’t look so good.

  Angel of course can keenly feel Cecilia's emotional changes, but she doesn't care. The strength of the two sides is almost the same, and the final result of the fight is no one can do anything. However, at present, Angel relies on the realm of strength to be higher than that of Cecilia, and she can still have a slight advantage, so from a certain instinct, she is I like Cecilia making trouble for herself so that she can gain some superiority.

  But it’s a pity, how can Cecilia, such a shrewd person, be fooled by Angel.

  "Is your information really correct?" Cecilia asked in a deep voice.

"Of course." Angel replied, her tone full of pride, "Although I don't know what the situation of Reyce is, or why that team suddenly diverted into the forest of sighs, but I can be sure that that team The special team that secretly transferred Reyce did enter here.... Judging from the existing intelligence, because we changed the route very quickly, the opponent probably only led us for about three days, considering the midway Rest and sigh for the special environment of the forest. If there is nothing wrong with the route, we will be able to catch up to each other at most tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

   Although Cecilia doesn't like Angel, she knows that Angel’s intelligence is very accurate, at least much more accurate than the intelligence that can be obtained in the Void Realm. After all, this is the Millennium Covenant Empire. It's Angel's site. So after listening to Angel's analysis at this time. Cecilia did not speak to refute anything, but was thinking about how to rescue Reyes without damage in the next rescue operation.

   "I think, let's discuss how to rescue Reyce."

   "I think what we should discuss now is how to rescue Reyce."

  Cecilia and Angel said in unison-although the sentences are slightly different, the meanings expressed by the two are the same. In some ways, Angel and Cecilia should be regarded as "satisfying."

only. The two men were obviously very upset at this tacit understanding. So the two snorted at the same time. But when they found that the expression of disdain and tone were the same, the two people felt even more unhappy, so they said at the same time: "Don't learn from me!"

   There was silence.

"Haha, you two are really fun." Rina looked at the two Peugeot beauties staring at each other, so she laughed, "Okay, don't pretend to be sculptures, let's quickly study how to save people. ...This forest is too cold. It always makes me want to sleep."

  Because of the awakening of the dragon bloodline in the body, Rena naturally began to become a little lethargic. But perhaps it was due to the peculiarities of the dragon's bloodline. Even when Rina was asleep, the fighting energy in her body was still continuously growing and condensing, which put her strength in a state that could be improved all the time. Perhaps this is the reason why Rina's strength has grown so surprisingly among all of Sean's followers-of course, Rina as the subject is not quite clear.

  Looking at Rina yawning and rubbing her eyes, both Cecilia and Angel looked defeated.

However, as both of the royal family and noble blood, and both have the name of genius, Cecilia and Angel have the pride that belongs to them. At this time, using Rina's words as a step down, it is also in line with the two people's intentions. . Therefore, it is rare for the two parties who disliked each other to temporarily let go of their prejudices, and then began to discuss how to rescue Reyes without being injured.

  As for the results of this rescue operation, the two of them did not even think about it.

After all, their team besides Cecilia and Angel, who are enough to make ordinary sanctuary powerhouses intimidate, they also have a super power and a power that can reach the pinnacle of the legend under full firepower. —— Only the combination of these four people is enough to make even the ninth-level army dare not act rashly. Therefore, the result of the rescue operation was not seen by Cecilia and Angel at all. Their only concern was whether the enemy would kill Reyce if the enemy saw the situation badly.

   But just as they were discussing, Kozilek suddenly sniffed, then suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of the road when they all came.

   "What's the matter?" Cecilia keenly noticed the changes in Kozilek, and hurriedly asked.

   Kozilek pointed his finger in the direction he was looking, and said, "Man."

   "You mean, we have a skeleton warrior behind?" In fact, no one except Sean can have a smooth conversation with Kozilek, so Cecilia can only guess.

Kozilek thought for a while, then shook his head, and said again, "Live."

  "Alive?" Angele has also had contact with Kozilek these days. Although Kozilek's specific strength is not clear, Kozilek does exude a horrible atmosphere that makes her feel dangerous and desperate.

Kozilek hesitated, but this time he nodded instead of shaking his head.

  Cecilia and Angel glanced at each other, a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes.

   Sigh for the situation in the forest. Under Angel’s introduction, Cecilia and others also had a clear understanding. Under normal circumstances, even the Imperial Army would not be willing to approach this forest, let alone go deep. And even the bravest soldiers of the empire are reluctant to enter the forest. It is conceivable that most people will not enter this forest, and there are no treasures or relics worth exploring in the forest. Naturally, adventurers and mercenaries do not. Will enter here.

   "How many people are there, can you know?" Angel asked, her voice a little hurried.

   Kozilek shook his head, only spit out one word stingly: "Much."

   "It seems there should be a lot of people." Cecilia also said in a deep voice, "Can you tell the strength of these people?"

   "Weak." This time, Kozilek did not hesitate at all.

  "How is it relative to us?" To be on the safe side, Angel asked one more sentence.

   But this time, Kozilek did not answer immediately, but after thinking for a while, he pointed his finger at Cecilia and Rena.

  But Angel and Cecilia have already understood: the strength of these enemies and Cecilia and Angel’s strength disparity, just like Cecilia and Rena, there is a big gap between them. But even so, these enemies are also threatening to a certain extent-just as Cecilia and Angel can bring a little bit of harm to Rina if they fight to the end with Rina desperately.

   "It seems that things are not as simple as we thought." Cecilia's brows frowned slightly, and her voice became cold. (To be continued~^~)
