Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 268: Attracting Beasts
The dynasty army changed its combat strategy, increased its combat strength, and advanced layer by layer in the dark forest. The banner camps echoed each other and supported each other, forming a net of sky and earth, constantly advancing into the depths of the forest, trying to force out the Nanchuan Army.

The wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. The Nanchuan Army, which was still active a few days ago, suddenly disappeared out of the sight of the Dynasty Army, and all kinds of sneak attacks stopped abruptly. It seems that such an army has never appeared.

The generals of the Dynasty Army Command were helpless, their clenched iron fists seemed to hit the air, making them extremely uncomfortable and full of depression in their hearts.

Chief of Staff Wu Changfeng even wondered if the Nanchuan Army had crossed the dark forest and retreated to the territory of Nanchuan Province, otherwise it would be impossible for there to be no trace of the Nanchuan Army in the forest.

Commander Lan Yu is also not sure about the specific situation of the Nanchuan Army at the moment. It is possible to cross the dark forest and withdraw to Nanchuan Province, so he asked for help from the dynasty's intelligence agency, the dark hall, but the information given by the dark hall is: no Any rebels returned to Nanchuan Province from the dark forest.

"Could it be that the rebels have all died in the forest?" Some staff guessed this way. After all, there are countless powerful beasts and raptors in the depths of the dark forest. If the rebels are unlucky and break into the beast's nest, they deserve it.

"As far as I know, there are a lot of rebels. Even if they encounter a herd of beasts, they will not be wiped out. Why haven't our frontline soldiers found anything these days?" Some people refuted this view.

"Whether the rebels have broken out from a certain gap, we didn't find out."

Hearing such speculation, Commander Lan Yu and a group of staff hurriedly opened the map again, looking for this road that might break through their encirclement and retreat.

However, after repeated scrutiny and deduction, it was finally denied that there was such a dead end for the rebels to retreat quietly. On the map, more than 30 people from the three corps of the Central Army of the Dynasty Army formed a solid wall in three directions. The rebels did not Reason quietly escaped their eyes and ears from the forest.

What's more, behind the Central Army, there are still a large number of provincial garrison cavalry troops who have wandered around. They didn't find anything, which can only explain one problem, that is, the Nanchuan Army is still in the forest, and they haven't found it. , but hiding in the depths of the forest, they didn't find it.

"The rebels must still be in the forest. Now they are hiding, and they must be planning to break out." Commander Sapphire finally came to a conclusion.

Lan Yu immediately issued a ruthless order: "Tell all the legions to pay attention to the rebels breaking out. If anyone releases the rebels, I want their head!"

The commanders of the various regiments who received the order also issued the same repeated order to each regiment: "Whoever the rebels break through from the defense area, whoever is ready to come and see!"

Orders were issued layer by layer, and in the end every soldier had to be extremely vigilant, because once the rebels ran away, their heads would be gone, so the search was more careful.

Hundreds of thousands of imperial army troops entered the peaceful forest, countless plants and trees were cut down, roads were opened, and the forest suddenly became extremely noisy. The carpet-like search caused the frightened animals to flee to the depths of the forest, compressing the movement. their living space.

The inherent territory of many ferocious beasts was occupied by the dynasty army. The ferocious beasts were either killed or fled to the depths of the forest. A bloody storm broke out in the entire forest, and the ferocious beasts that lost their territories became even more manic.

The troops of the dynasty army took the banner battalion as the combat unit and advanced in a skirmish line. The places they passed were in a mess, and all kinds of precious medicinal herbs, precious animals and plants suffered.

Even the bravest hunters and adventurers have never dared to go deep into the dark forest for four hundred miles alone, because it is almost a forbidden area, and there are powerful beasts entrenched there.

But this time, 30 soldiers of the Dynasty army entered the forest with great momentum, and many powerful beasts became delicacies in their mouths.

In the depths of the forest, in a huge lair, a giant beast like a hill is resting. There are many bones scattered around the lair, which are the bones of some ferocious beasts. The Fire Cloud Beast is extremely powerful and ferocious. , is definitely the top king among the beasts.

The Fire Cloud Beast is surrounded by dozens of miles of its territory, no animal dares to trespass, so it is extremely quiet, like a dead land, but now there are several Nanchuan soldiers in black armor approaching cautiously.

"Is there really a fire cloud beast here?" Lin Chuan asked a nervous-looking warrior as he walked.

The soldier looked tense, and replied in a low voice: "I heard from my grandfather that there are dozens of powerful beasts living in this dark forest, and this area should be the territory of the Fire Cloud Beast."

Lin Chuan also noticed that the surrounding air was filled with a rotten atmosphere, and apart from the sound of salsa, there was not even a single bird in the air.

"General, there is a situation ahead." An agile scout soldier rushed back from the front and reported the situation.

The ground was covered with white bones covering a radius of one mile. The huge skeleton of an unknown beast tens of meters long was broken from it, and there were clear scratches on it. It was obviously the work of another powerful beast. .

"Except for the Fire Cloud Beast, I don't think there is any beast that can be so powerful." The soldier leading the way said with lingering fear.

"Everyone, be vigilant!" Lin Chuan also felt the dangerous aura emanating from the air, which made his hair stand on end.

This time, Lin Chuan and the others entered the depths of the forest to find the Huoyun Beast with only one purpose, and that was to deal with the imperial army that was approaching every step of the way.

The huge ancient tree was broken in the middle, and the prestigious beast was eaten to nothing but its skeleton. The more Lin Chuan and the others moved forward, the more frightened they were. What kind of monster is this fire cloud beast? It is so powerful.

However, they soon discovered the true face of the Fire Cloud Beast. Its body was resting in its lair like a hill, and its body was covered in fiery red armor that gave off a fiery breath like magma. It was hard and full of courage, like a steel whip. The tail is coiled quietly around the body.

The Huoyun Beast is extremely ugly, Lin Chuan has never seen such an ugly monster, with huge fangs, ugly face, and the stench coming from his face made Lin Chuan vomit.

"Action!" Lin Chuan gestured to the soldiers behind him, and everyone hurriedly took off the powder in the package and walked around.

Soon, the territory around the Fire Cloud Beast was covered with yellow powder, and when it came out to the west, there was a spicy smell in the air.

This is the animal repelling powder commonly used by hunters. The spicy taste makes wild animals often stay away.

After doing all this, Lin Chuan and the others quietly retreated to a safe place, took out the arrows and attacked the Fire Cloud Beast!

"Xuuuuuuuuuuu!" The whistling crossbow arrows went straight to the body of the Fire Cloud Beast, but apart from the clanging sound of metal and iron clashing, it did not cause any damage to the Fire Cloud Beast.

The Fire Cloud Beast, which was resting, was awakened. Its huge blood-red eyes saw a few weak humans attacking it, and smelled the smoke in the surrounding air. It was furious, roared, and stood up from the lair, suddenly huge. The shadow of Lin Chuan and the others hung over.

"Run!" Lin Chuan yelled, and ran towards the way he came.

"Roar!!!" The Fire Cloud Beast let out a huge roar, the smell in the air made it go crazy, and with the crisp sound of cracking ancient trees, the enraged Fire Cloud Beast chased towards Lin Chuan and the others—
