I rely on you all to cultivate

Chapter 471 Blood Bone Totem

After a day of running around, the warrior troops had already gone to the front, and Xu Ling was still marching behind with the firearms troops.

Their speed is definitely not slow. Even if they are non-warriors, the quality required in the expeditionary army is definitely higher than that of other establishments. After all, here is a small fight every three days, and a big fight every five days. It is very likely that they will face sneak attacks from monsters, which is much higher than the fighting frequency of frontier troops.

Xu Ling personally led hundreds of people across mountains and rivers. In the team, there was a reconnaissance team of one hundred people and a small number of God's Chosen. The purpose was to prevent attacks on the way. , they can also fight.

Since the non-warrior troops are fragile and easy to break into, and cannot rely on fortifications to set up positions during the march, the speed is further slowed down, which is also a helpless choice.

"Stay here and rest for five hours."

Halfway through the journey, he arrived at a suitable location for garrisoning. He called the commander of the firearms unit and told him to order everyone to stop and rest. Anyway, the distance is so far, it is impossible to arrive in a day, and it is planned to stop for a while on the way.

He held the knife and stood at the high point of the lookout, looking forward, and the surroundings were surprisingly calm.

A major of the reconnaissance unit came to report: "Sir, no monsters were found nearby."

"No?"

"Not one."

"What about the traces of activity?"

"Yes, it's new."

"Has there been a fight?"

"No."

Xu Ling said in a deep voice: "I feel something is wrong. There may be an ambush. Immediately notify everyone, immediately form a defensive position, strengthen security, divide into three shifts and take turns to rest, don't relax your vigilance."

The major naturally didn't dare to be negligent, and ran to convey the order in a panic.

Everyone formed an formation immediately. Since it was in the wild, if there was an ambush, it was unclear where potential enemies would come from. The defense of this position was not perfect, but it could only do so at present.

Xu Ling was still watching from the highest point. He thought that if he found any abnormalities, he would go over and see for himself.

But after a while, he didn't find any strange movements, and the surrounding was peaceful, like the suburban forest before demonization.

"Sir, there is still no clue."

The major of the reconnaissance team said to him again, "But where are all the monsters around?"

Xu Ling's face became even uglier: "It must be abnormal without a monster. Looking at it now, their target should not be us."

"That is?"

"Liu Tao and the others."

……

"Stay in place for half an hour! Stay alert"

Liu Tao's force index is in the low range among military officers, mainly because his command ability in wartime is relatively outstanding, so when he is promoted, he will lower the requirement for force as appropriate.

It is precisely because of his strong ability in this area that Xu Ling can rest assured that he will be in charge of strategic command in peacetime.

At this time, Liu Tao also noticed abnormalities around him, but compared with non-warrior troops, everyone in the warrior army has stronger self-protection ability, so they don't need to be as nervous as Xu Ling, as long as they rest normally.

"Lin Ling, what's the matter?"

"It's not right. I obviously said that there are low-density monsters on this road, but I haven't encountered one since I passed the black pine forest."

Lin Ling still had no expression on her face. Now that she is the chief of the investigation team's reconnaissance force, she has faded away from the youthfulness of her student days, and she appears to be more dignified than before when she speaks.

Liu Tao said: "The situation is not good, we will investigate and report again."

He waited for a while, and found that Lin Ling looked at him strangely.

"what happened?"

"You look more and more like Xu Ling now."

"I?"

After she left, Liu Tao touched his nose with his hand, "What do I look like?"

Before he could figure it out, the anomaly suddenly appeared. Three red flares went straight into the air, and a communication came from the radio.

"Enemy attack, Lin 13 reconnaissance encountered enemy attack, serious danger level, orc warlord appeared."

Liu Tao's heart skipped a beat, he was really afraid of something.

Why is there an Overseer here?

He couldn't figure it out, the route of travel was absolutely confidential, except for the participants, it was only limited to the high command, how could the orcs come here to ambush.

But after thinking about it, since they can communicate with the devil, it is hard to say that they have obtained information. Anyway, the most important thing at this time is to deal with the threat from the warlord.

He immediately told the reconnaissance troops to shrink to the main force, and then ordered the others to enter the fighting state.

Soon, Liu Tao saw the herd of beasts running wildly.

"No orcs?"

This was his first reaction.

Since entering the pass, every battle, battle, no matter how big or small, the enemy is a mix of orcs and monsters, but this time there are only monsters, like a wave of beasts.

"Sir! Overseer!"

A Chosen One shouted, pointing to the tall tower behind the beast horde.

Liu Tao looked over and locked on to a figure in armor. Judging from his posture, it should be a female orc.

Her armor is very special. The twisted lines on her chest and shoulders are like the roots of ancient trees, densely entangled on the armor plate. There is a hint of dark green in the dark background. It doesn't look like a dangerous guy, but it is Much like, a tree.

This is what Liu Tao thought, he felt that she stood there like a tree, as if it would not cause any harm.

But he also knew that this was just an illusion. Judging from the information Luo Ji gave, this was the warlord named Sif. She was no longer at the scene of the previous battle, so the expeditionary force had never seen what she had. ability.

"Stop the herd, Lin Ling, Gao Fan, and Sylet, you hold back that warlord together, find someone to retreat and ask for help."

Liu Tao immediately issued all the action instructions. Fortunately, the herd of beasts in front of him seemed to be assembled from nearby places. The number was not particularly large, and the quality was not too high. It's hard to resist.

But even so, Lin Lingaofan and Sylet are unlikely to stop the warlord, let alone kill him. This is just delaying time.

He didn't take any chances at all, and he had a very clear idea from the beginning. If there is a problem, he should go to Xu Ling.

After the person who sent the message was sent out, the warrior troops of the investigation team had also stood with the herd.

At such a critical juncture, Liu Tao, the commander, had to mention going into battle and rushing to the front line in person, but his attention was always on the battle overlord's side.

Sif's weapons were two slender scimitars, but she didn't rush to make a move. Facing the siege of three warriors, she just summoned some middle and low-level monsters to block the knives for herself.

Gao Fan still carried the shield on his left arm, but it has been strengthened several times now, and smashed the head of a monster with a bang. He wiped the blood from his face, roared and rushed towards Sif, but was caught again. The new World of Warcraft stopped.

The few people who were sent to deal with him were all good players, how could they be stopped by a few monsters, cleared the battlefield with Sif in a blink of an eye, and then approached her from three directions.

However, the warlord was not in a hurry, and explained with actions why he had to let the monster go forward to die.

She threw one of the scimitars in her hand to the ground in front of her that was soaked in animal blood, and then chanted a few strange syllables.

If Xu Ling could hear it here, it was like the whisper of Baldur's sword.

The appearance of this kind of sound means that what will happen next will not be ordinary. As expected, the moment the scimitar fell to the ground, a strange change occurred.

The corpses of the surrounding monsters began to tremble slightly, the blood and bones separated, and dark red liquid poured into the scimitar. In a few breaths, the blood entangled the blade and became thicker and thicker, and the wreckage rolled and gathered together.

While Sif murmured, the monster's corpse and the scimitar gathered together, growing continuously, and finally turned into a blood bone totem nearly ten meters high.
