Monster Minotaur

The southern area of ​​Carthage is the most prosperous area of ​​Carthage. Because of its proximity to the coast and several natural harbors, Carthage was able to maintain trade with several island countries, and processed the specialties of these island countries and sold them to the entire continent. Because of the need to process the raw materials obtained through trade, the southern part of Carthage had a large population, and its industry and agriculture were far more developed than those in the north.

The royal capital originally located in the south was moved to the north because of the previous generation of King Arthur of Carthage in order to promote the development of the north. Of course, this was also due to the consideration of guarding against the increasingly powerful Maro Empire in the northwest.

But obviously the defense in the north is not as strong as in the south, and the royal capital, a city that symbolizes royal power, has pushed itself into the tiger's mouth after moving to the north.

Arthur, who misjudged Maro's ambitions, died on the border due to lack of preparation when he resisted the first attack of Caesar of the Maro Empire. Only half of the Macedonian fort was built. After being cut off from the south by the Maro Empire, the royal capital, which had been besieged for two months not long ago, also fell under Caesar's attack.

Although the nobles in the south organized a large number of troops, they were never able to break through Caesar's defenses and rescue the besieged capital. There are too many conspiracies and intertwined interests. Lacking a prestigious leader, the southern nobles could only maintain their current defense line while holding each other back. Now, one month has passed since the fall of the royal capital.

The nobles hoping to find the royal bloodline sent a large number of scouts to Elam, hoping to find the princess and young king who had fled into Elam. At the same time, Caesar's pursuit troops, as well as some southern nobles who did not want the royal family to survive due to various considerations, also dispatched elite assassination troops.

Tch! It's those monsters again! A soldier from Caesar's pursuit force pulled off the crossbow bolt inserted in his shoulder with great pain. He held the long sword in his hand and formed a group with his companions, warning that the surroundings were unusually quiet. The forest cursed: How many times has this been attacked?

This is already the twentieth time. The companion next to the soldier said weakly with dark circles in his eyes: The last night attack made them kill thirty of us. If this continues, we haven't entered the interior of Elam yet. There are already many casualties.”

Hey, hey! I'm quite motivated! The soldier pushed his companion, but he fell to the ground: Hey, what's wrong with you? Matthew, are you injured?

Ah... no. Matthew shook his head, stood up reluctantly and said, I was too sleepy and fell asleep accidentally just now.

At this time, be more serious! Otherwise you will die! The soldier kicked Matthew on the butt and cursed: When this wave of attacks passes, we can rest.

After waiting for a few minutes, and after confirming that this was another harassment that could be retreated with one blow, the soldier collapsed on the ground with some exhaustion, and said to the already confused Matthew: Matthew, go to sleep first, wait a moment. I'll wake you up.

Captain Regel. A soldier who went out to explore came back and said to the soldier: We really can't do this if we continue like this. Why don't we give up the mission? Maybe the princess and the king of Carthage have died in the hands of these monsters. . Even we cannot withstand such an attack.

Haha~~ Regel sighed feebly and said: I wanted to give up last night, but if that team breaks through the defense lines of these monsters and reaches the designated gathering point, give up the mission and go back. Do you think we will have a good life?

Is there really no other way? The soldier looked at him with dark circles under his eyes, and Greer, who also had dark circles under his eyes, said.

Maybe surrendering is a good choice. Regel suddenly said.

Captain! What nonsense are you talking about? the soldier said incredulously: Are you planning to become food for those monsters? Even if you drop me, don't be eaten by the monsters!

But look behind you. Regel pointed behind the warrior, looked at the sudden appearance of a large number of horned demons, and the tauren equipped with iron armor and holding giant axes, and said: With such a number, you want us How can we beat a team with more than thirty people left?

……………………

Regel was captured as expected, and the warrior who said he would not be eaten even if he died did indeed realize his wish. After rushing towards the monster regardless of life and death, he was chopped into pieces. To Greer's surprise, these monsters did not kill them immediately, but instead took them to a strange camp.

This camp is not very far away from where they are. The location at the mouth of the valley and the many defensive facilities established make this camp easy to defend but difficult to attack. In the camp, Regel not only saw the other members of the pursuit team who entered Elam with them, but also saw many broken Carthage troops. These former enemies have now become prisoners of this monster army.

Hey! Isn't this Kira? After being put into a cage, looking at the Carthage troops locked in the cages, he suddenly found an acquaintance who had fought several times, and Matthew immediately approached him. He said hello: What a coincidence, you were also caught? I thought you could escape with your escape skills.

Go away! You are a villain who invades other people's land! Obviously, although Matthew showed a very familiar look, the man who called Kira wanted to give him face.

Don't be like this. Matthew stepped forward and held Kira's neck forcefully and said: I didn't start the war. I was just a soldier who obeyed orders. I have never killed anyone who didn't pick up a weapon. man. How can you call me a villain?

In fact, you are a villain. Looking at the Carthaginian soldiers around him, Regel, who followed Matthew with increasingly angry eyes, pulled Matthew back and said, You didn't see Isn’t it irritating that you’re acting like this? I won’t save you if you’re fooling around like this!”

Okay. Matthew squatted in the corner of the cage with some disappointment, picked up a branch and drew circles in it, muttering: Anyway, I'm just a little vice-captain, and I will always be bullied by this guy like you.

Look at how energetic you are. Kira suddenly said at this time: Aren't you being harassed by those werewolves?

Ah! Matthew said: I accidentally forgot, I should be very sleepy now! Yeah...sleep. Matthew, talking to himself, found a corner of the cage and took out the blanket that had not been confiscated. The kimono was spread out on the floor, and he immediately started snoring when he lay down on it.

What a weak guy. Reger covered his forehead with a headache. He also felt a wave of sleepiness coming over him. He spread a quilt near Matthew and started to rest.

These two guys... aren't you afraid that we will kill them? Others in the cage said as they looked at the two people who were assigned to a cell full of Carthaginian soldiers and dared to rest so boldly.

If they were ordinary people, of course they wouldn't dare to do this. Kira, who seemed to have a high position and was respected by other soldiers, looked at the two people who were already asleep and said: But these two are not ordinary people.

Are they some big shots? Other soldiers asked curiously: Or are they actually two strong men? Are they not afraid of us in large numbers?

No. Kira shook his head and said, They just lack a muscle! When the Carthaginian warrior heard this unexpected answer, the mysterious image in their hearts suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground. At Kira's signal, this group of Carthaginian warriors did not disturb the exhausted two people. Sometimes war is not everyone's choice.

At this time, in the center of the camp, Refola looked at the recent battle report in his hand and rubbed his head with a headache. Refola, who has fought tens of thousands of people recently and captured thousands of people, feels that the current results have reached the limit of the monster army. Most of the monsters in the legion are beginning to get tired, and their weapons and crossbows have been almost exhausted.

The training tasks assigned by Mo Yan have also been completed, and the monsters are already very proficient in using the tactics in the manual. The training on the use of weapons and trap setting has also begun to come to an end. It's almost time to bring the monster army back to Thunder Bluff for some rest.

Although about ten days have passed since the defense was deployed, there should not be a large number of defeated troops choosing to take this blocked route. But there is no guarantee that we really won't try our luck with a large group of defeated troops. Although Refola wanted to defend for a period of time, the huge group of prisoners did not allow him to do so. Refola, who had no extra troops to take over the defense line, was in trouble of whether to retreat or not.

Wouldn't it be better to kill all these prisoners? Refola sighed, looked in the direction of Thunder Bluff and complained: Why must we try to catch as many alive as possible?
