The warm wind was slightly drunk, and the green grass seemed to be stained with a halo, spreading toward the horizon.
A group of birds with colorful wings chirped and jumped happily in the grass, as if nothing could disturb them.
But in this beautiful picture scroll, there is an unpleasant smell of rancidity, which permeates the air for a long time.
When the grass was blown by the wind, a rotten corpse was revealed, the weapons full of gaps were thrown aside, and some broken arrows were stuck on the corpse. It looks hideous.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and more corpses are revealed. They are lying on the grass, most of them have been fragmented.
"Ho..."
A ghoul emerged from a cave on the ground, swiftly dragged a corpse into the ground, and a few minutes later got out and dragged a second corpse...
Looking from a height, this green grass is actually covered with mutilated corpses. From time to time, large holes with a diameter of more than one meter appear. It is the lair of ghouls, and the corpses they collected from the battlefield are piled up.
Obviously, there had been a tragic battle here, and the corpses of the defeated were ignored, and they were all thrown into the corpse wilderness at will.
It didn't take long for the sound of heavy footsteps, which scared the ghoul trying to drag the corpse back into the cave.
However, they quickly stuck their heads out again, stared at blood-red eyes, and kept looking carefully in the direction of the sound.
This is a group of patrols composed of wizards, knights, and elite soldiers. Everyone is fully armed. They slowly march on the grassland, while vigilantly watching the surrounding wind and grass.
The front of the team was an ordinary soldier, equipped with a war knife and an air tank rifle. The soldiers behind him were either equipped with the same air tank rifle, or were carrying a short spear with bows and arrows, which looked very messy.
The number of ordinary soldiers is about a hundred people, followed by knights on war horses, the number is fifteen people, everyone wears armor engraved with runes, and the weapons used are also various.
Around these knights, they followed their squires. The equipment was a little crude, but it was not much worse.
Several wizards in black robes were also in the team. The hideous masks blocked their faces, revealing only a pair of indifferent eyes, and a trace of gloomy and ominous aura surrounded their bodies.
With the increasing number of monks in the building near the holy dragon city, the third legion of the wizarding world has also rapidly increased its troops. These knights and wizards are one of the reinforcements who have arrived, patrolling with the soldiers who have participated in several battles .
When passing the battlefield, the patrol members just glanced coldly at the corpses in the grass, and then continued to patrol along the fixed route.
As the war gradually eased, the number of battles between the two sides became less and less, and there was even news that the rear was already preparing for the retreat.
After the unexpected early victory, the top executives of the Fifth Continental Ring were already extremely satisfied with the harvest. They believed that they should take it as soon as possible, so as not to be caught in the quagmire of war and unable to extricate themselves.
Once the Lingxu War Zone is ready and does its best to counterattack, the situation will be extremely unfavorable for the wizard camp.
However, there are also some high-level officials who do not agree to retreat, thinking that it is a pity to give up the immediate victory. If they retreat now, they will undoubtedly lose a lot of benefits.
The two sides quarreled endlessly because of this matter, and could not come up with a result for a long time. Because the front line could not get a clear order, they could only choose to stick to it.
Among the ordinary soldiers, there are also some new recruits. They are still curious about the air tank rifle they have just equipped, and they fiddle with it from time to time.
So far, only the 3rd Corps has been equipped with this weapon, the other corps have not seen it at all.
On the way, there are also recruits from time to time to ask the veterans about the situation on the battlefield. Obviously, before coming here, someone has told them the difference between this place and other battlefields.
"Don't worry, although those Loucheng monks like to shoot cold guns, as long as they get down in time when they hear the sound of gunfire, there will basically be no problem!"
A veteran in the team looked at the nervous young man beside him, lowered his voice and reminded him, patted the heavy rifle on his shoulder at the same time, and said proudly: "This is the loot I captured last time, someone has bid. I haven't sold one hundred gold coins, how is it not bad?"
The young soldier smiled, touched the cumbersome air tank rifle in his hand and smiled: "I still use it comfortably, it feels very solid!"
"After you've fought a few battles, you won't think that way again!"
The veteran pouted, showing a trace of disdain on his face, unwilling to argue with this new recruit.
Across the grass, there is an empty gravel beach in front, and a little further ahead is a small river, where the patrol team usually rests and eats.
"Everyone cheer up, pay attention to look around, and immediately warn you if there is an abnormal situation!"
The patrol captain riding on the horse looked around and loudly reminded the soldiers in front that the patrol had suffered a lot from the battle some time ago, and had to add some inexperienced rookies, which also made the patrol captain very worried.
Although there are many knights and wizards among these recruits, they have never fought against enemies who use firearms. God knows what it will be like?
Just as he was about to remind his teammates around him, he heard a soft sound in the distance. A blood hole appeared in the patrol captain's chest, and he fell directly from the battle horse.
"boom!"
Another muffled sound came. In the front of the team, a column of air mixed with dust and dust rose into the sky. A dozen soldiers around were directly lifted into the sky, and the blood stumps flew high and heavy again. fall.
Before the patrols could regain their senses, dozens of figures suddenly appeared in the grass hundreds of meters away, and the sound of gunshots rang out.
The soldiers who were caught off guard fell in pieces, and the horses of several knights were also hit by bullets, either falling to the ground and screaming, or their stomachs were forcibly torn open, dragging their intestines around.
"Get down and fight back!"
Although they were attacked suddenly, under the command of experienced veterans, these patrols did not mess around, but quickly used corpses and pits as bunkers to counterattack against the enemy not far away.
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The unique shooting sound of the air tank rifle sounded, and the metal projectiles flew towards the opposite enemy, but just as they were about to touch the enemy, they were blocked by an invisible barrier.
Looking at the blocked projectiles, the patrol members were shocked. Only now did they notice that a black cylinder was inserted in front of the enemies, and the energy light curtain blocking the projectiles was emitted from it.
"Damn, what the hell is this?"
Dodging the bullets swept in the face, the veterans in the patrol scolded, with a hint of doubt on their faces.
The weapons used by these Loucheng monks have a very fast rate of fire, which is completely different from the heavy rifles used in the past. They even completely suppressed the air tank rifles used by the patrol members!
With the bullets whistling above his head, the veteran had no time to think about it. When he just found the opportunity to shoot, he saw that the knights had already steered their horses towards the enemy.
"Damn, those idiots!"
The veteran cursed inwardly, feeling very disappointed with these reckless knights.
These guys are simply courting death. It is estimated that they have been beaten into a sieve by bullets before they can rush to the enemy!
Sure enough, on the way these knights charged, dense bullets had already shrouded them. Even though the body surface of these knights had stimulated energy protection, they were still unable to stop the lethal projectiles.
"Puff puff!"
Blood flowers gushed out from the knights' bodies, and the warhorses fell to the ground screaming. Although they were only a few hundred meters away from the enemy, they couldn't get past this moat until they died. (I have a city in another world)
