The Rise of the Marquis

Chapter 2 Unusual Enemies

In the darkness of the forest, there was a sudden scream, and arrows that were so fast that they could hardly be seen flew straight at the unprepared warlock on horseback.

Wang Jian, who had been prepared for a long time, kicked Warlock's horse's ass from behind in advance, and the horse ran forward in shock. A string exploded in the dark forest, and the arrow rubbed against Warlock's shoulder and sank into the rear. In the shade of the forest, he disappeared in the darkness behind him in an instant.

Everything happened in an instant, and the crowd hadn't realized what happened until the warlock's horse ran a few steps in fright and threw her into the fallen leaves. Then several soldiers realized that they all showed their weapons and looked for the enemy.

Two figures appeared on both sides of the avenue more than 30 steps ahead, and they also looked at Wang Jian, who was kicking the horse, in surprise.

After regaining his senses, the confrontation began immediately. Wu Yi took out the long sword from his waist and walked like flying. After a few strides, he pulled in front of the two without giving them another chance to shoot arrows. The enemy on the right dropped his short bow and replaced it with a scimitar. response.

Among the group, Wu Yi wore the least armor, and only wore soft leather armor with shoulder pads to protect his torso. It was made of high-quality rhinoceros leather, and the advantage of light weight was brought into play at once.

The armor of the three soldiers in the back is complete, made of cowhide and sheepskin, painted with lacquer (resin), and has better defense and heavier. They are a few steps behind and separated from Wu Yi's left and right sides. With the advantage of distance, he pushed forward and prepared to attack left and right.

The other party didn't look like a thief at all. He was actually wearing a hard leather armor that protected his torso. The surface was shiny, obviously carefully maintained with animal fat.

At the same time, he showed good combat experience and skills. Facing the situation of outnumbered enemies, he did not panic. He retreated a few steps and leaned against a big tree to protect the blind spot behind him, and then confronted each other back to back, left and right.

Neither side moved lightly for the first time
Until the soldiers on the left occupied many people and stepped on the lunge, they began to force and test with the front of the spear, and then stabbed out suddenly, but were quickly pushed away by the opponent's eyes.

At the same time, the soldiers on the right also cooperated with the sudden attack, and the spear pierced towards the waist and abdomen of the enemy in an instant, and the enemy on the right reacted beyond ordinary people and grabbed it.

Without hesitation, the soldier pulled his hands out. Because of the lever, the opponent would never be able to hold it at this time, and his palm was useless when he was struck by the spear point.

However, the soldier quickly realized that the situation was wrong. The opponent seemed to be not afraid of injury or pain at all. He pinched the spearhead and refused to let go even if his palm was smashed.

"Boom!" There was a dull and piercing metallic sound, sparks flashed, Wu Yi's long sword blocked the long knife, and with a twist of his wrist, the light of the sword was like flowing water, and it was sent directly to the enemy's chest.

The opponent dodged sideways, but it was too late, the left forearm was stabbed with a sword, only the flesh was connected, and the palm dangled on the arm.

But the man didn't snort!As if the palm is not his...

The soldier who had recovered his life was sweating profusely, looking at the two enemies who could not be seen clearly under the shade of the opposite tree in horror, the spear in his hand was trembling a little, aren't these two guys afraid of pain or death?Is it human!

Both sides became cautious and breathed heavily. After a short confrontation, they did not dare to underestimate the enemy. Even Wu Yi did not dare to advance lightly after a few steps of confrontation.

The enemy on the opposite side is too weird, too unlike a human, unseen and unheard of.

Just when the battle was at a stalemate, Wang Jian felt an unusual wave of spiritual power.

The reason why it is unusual is that he can't feel any other divine thoughts, but he can clearly feel the convergence and changes of spiritual power. The power is like a castle in the air, which he, a cultivator of immortality, cannot understand at all.

what's the situation?
Time passed for a while, and a dim aura began to move around the two enemies in the distance. Before they could react, they lost their balance back and forth, and staggered, because the soil under their feet suddenly softened, making them unprepared and unstable.

"Earth Awakening Technique!" Warlock's voice echoed behind him.

In the life-and-death confrontation, this staggering imbalance was very fatal. The soldiers on the left and right seized the opportunity to pinch, pierced the enemy cleanly with their spears, and then nailed them to the old tree with both hands to prevent them from dying.

Wang Jian turned his head and found that it was the warlock in yellow who was covered in fallen leaves behind him and made the move.

She was chanting, wielding a wooden sword in her hand, like a sorceress, which he had never heard of or seen before, making the edge of a piece of mud in the distance softer after a dozen steps. What kind of power is this?As a cultivator, he really doesn't understand.

The female sorceress was very embarrassed when she fell into the fallen leaves just now, but as soon as she made a move, she eliminated two powerful enemies in an instant.

The three soldiers facing each other in front stabbed several times with their spears, and after confirming the death of the enemy, they breathed a sigh of relief, turned their heads and cupped their hands to thank the warlock in yellow.

"You have delayed enough, otherwise I will be helpless." Warlock nodded slightly and said, and she was also relieved.

While breathing and relaxing, the group also felt lingering fears.

The enemy came prepared and experienced. They set up an ambush in advance, and they may have discovered their tracks early.After that, under the cover of the darkness in the forest, he wanted to pre-emptively eliminate the most threatening warlock with a deadly arrow.

The ambush was so well placed and sudden that it was almost successful.

However, the second son of Duyanghou, who was considered the most useless by everyone, kicked his horse away, causing the ambush to fail, allowing the warlock to save his life, and the situation was completely reversed.

This was unexpected by everyone, and Wang Jian unexpectedly became a key person.
Is it a coincidence, an accident, or just right?

Everyone looked over in surprise and hesitation, not knowing how to deal with this matter for a moment.

The warlock over there probably gave him a look because he fell too embarrassingly just now, and then felt ashamed to avoid his eyes.After a while, I looked over and whispered, "Thank you."

"What did you say, didn't you hear clearly? Say it again." Wang Jian could still remember what the girl said about him just now.

"."

The warlock in yellow turned his head away and stopped talking.

Everyone didn't get too tangled up, and started to check and clean the battlefield, and there were many suspicious things about these two "bandits", which attracted everyone's attention.

The soldier who checked the corpse over there quickly exclaimed: "They are aliens!"

These words instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Wu Yi walked over in a few strides, and split open the chest armor of the two of them. The blue-black skin, the blood flowing out of the wound has quickly congealed, turning dark red and almost black, mixed with the soft soil under the feet, which has become sticky, "It's a strange person"

"Aren't they stopped by the Han army in the north of Yinshan Mountain?" The soldier next to him who had just recovered from his shock asked in surprise.

According to word of mouth, people in all countries have heard rumors about aliens. It is said that they are numerous, good at fighting and bloodthirsty, with dark and hard skin, can eat people's hearts and livers, are fierce and not afraid of death, etc.
I also know that they have fought bloody battles with the Han army for years, and have been resisted by the Han army in the bitterly cold north. How could they go south to the hinterland of Zhao State now!

You must know that the hinterland of Zhao State is at least thousands of miles away from the territory of the aliens in the north. Did they fly over?

The sorceress also became serious, "If you go south from the north, you have to pass Niangzi Mountain, Yanling Fortress, Gaoliu, Pingyin, Daizhou, Lucheng Avenue, and Jinyang. There are not only Han army fortresses on the way, but also Zhao Guo Dacheng, they can't come here quietly."

"We must go back and report to Lord Marquis!" Wu Yi glanced around and said cautiously: "The vision will be affected ten steps away from this place, and I don't know if there are any remnants of them around here.

Or maybe these two are just their scouts!
We are short of manpower, so we will take the news back first and discuss it in the long run. "

In the end, everyone reached a consensus, "Take the head back and ask the Marquis to send more reinforcements."

Two soldiers went to chop off the head of the alien, but Wang Jian was full of doubts.

According to them, the Yiren group lived in the cold north, which should be at high latitudes, with weak solar radiation, so they shouldn't have such dark skin.

Based on his knowledge of biogeography, this planet is not the earth, but the laws of physics will not change. It should be that the closer to the equator, the stronger the radiation. The human body needs to release more melanin to resist radiation. The darker the skin, anyway, in high latitude areas The radiation is weak, and the human body releases less melanin, so it shouldn't have such a dark complexion.

According to the description, the aliens are all in the bitter cold north, so the black and blue complexion is a bit weird and unreasonable.

But Wang Jian didn't think much about it, because when he looked up, there were three moons hanging in the sky, two small and one large. The order and brightness of the moons is the way people count years nowadays. This place is obviously different from the earth. Many things cannot be explained and it is reasonable. .

Afterwards, the group did not dare to stay, and immediately began to retreat northward, because they did not know how many aliens were going south, whether there were their reinforcements nearby, or even the camp, it would be very dangerous if they encountered a alien team.

To deal with aliens, it may be necessary to assemble an army, not such a small-scale raid.
