PS: 5400 words in this chapter, the chapter of the conscience of the emperor asks for votes and subscribes for this chapter!

After a short break, the Imperial Army stationed on the beach immediately began to study the current situation.

Inside the largest march tent in the camp, the crowd gathered to discuss the next direction of the Imperial Ruthia Expeditionary Force.

Attending the meeting were Imperial Vanguard officers and Captain Richard.

Empire general Alaric, from Rick collar.

Empire hunter general Eric von Shangel, who came from the hunting corps of Marquis Wolfhart, the famous hunter of the empire.

Since Marcus Wolfhart was enlisted as Marshal of the Empire Hunter by Karl Franz, he gained his own power to recruit soldiers. This strongman of the Holy Land is considered to be one of the emperor's most trusted cronies. The Marcus Wolfhart Hunting Regiment was formed.

The elite hunters of this hunting group were selected by Marcus from the territory of the empire. The entire hunting group was filled with excellent hunters from all provinces of the empire, although Midden-led hunters always despised the hunters of Aiweiling. (On the contrary, Ivy-led hunters always despise Midden-led hunters.) Rick-collared hunters always despise Stil-collared hunters. They are a group of country gangsters who have no culture, but in the hunter Marshal Marcus-Wolfha Under the special leadership, these excellent hunters from all empire leaders gradually united together in war and hunting, and they quickly cultivated a close sympathy for each other, thereby eliminating each other's dissatisfaction and geographical differences.

Under their efforts and under the strong leadership of Hunter Marshal Marcus Wolfhart, the Wolfhart Hunting Regiment soon became the most powerful Warcraft Hunting Regiment in the empire, whether it was Stir The collared claw beast, the ice dragon led by Ostermark is also the big horn bull in the Drakwald forest, the four-armed bull demon in the Rickwald forest, or the Chimera evil beast that nests above the black mountains. The Wolfhart Hunting Regiment successfully completed the hunt, which earned them honor and status. Emperor Karl Franz praised the outstanding hunters of these empires more than once, and promoted some of them to hunter generals.

In this Imperial Ruthia Expeditionary Force, in addition to providing a certain amount of military supplies and convening some provincial soldiers and militia, these military nobles naturally know that these basic troops want to conquer Ruthia is very difficult, but the cost of trying to mobilize those elite imperial troops is special. It has to convince the emperor to approve it, and it must provide enough real gold and silver to hire. This is not worth the gains for the temporarily unexplored expedition. of.

Therefore, the Rick-cold nobles decided to first set up an expeditionary army to explore Ruthia, set up a few outposts, and tried to enter the jungle to search for ruins in order to get a generous return, as long as the expeditionary army can bring generosity to the empire. In return, then the empire will naturally send more elite reinforcements.

Some Rick-collar nobles even hoped that Marshal Hunter could personally participate in this expedition, but this was obviously impossible. As the only two emperors under the emperor ’s command, the illegal sanctuary powerhouses (Zhang Qi) Officer Ludwig and Hunter Marshal Marcus Wolfhart), how could the Emperor Karl Franz allow Wolfhart to personally act for such a thing?

Only the emperor or Wolfhart's own mind will make this hunter marshal expedition to Ruthia.

So he retired, and the nobles led by Rick paid a large sum of money to hire a hunter general in the hunting corps, with a fixed annual salary of up to 1000 gold marks, and asked him to go to Ruthia for the expedition.

In the big account, the three officers surrounded a huge wooden table and a map on the wooden table.

"Although the Expeditionary Force built an outpost here, our situation is still not good." Richard, the Imperial Pioneer officer, pointed to the map and said: "Look, we only have one base on the coast, We have neither sufficient food sources nor sufficient strategic depth. Although the soldiers of the Ashen Legion came to intimidate us, some of their words are not without reason. "

"How to say?" General Hunter Eric asked, "How much do you know about the current situation?"

"Since we arrived here, we sent a lot of scouts, a lot." Pioneer officer Richard put his finger on the map: "As we all know, our location is called the Temple of Tokan, but in fact the coast is away from us. The relics are still 60 kilometers away. "

"In the east, according to the ashes of the Legion, it is the site of the vampire pirate. It is not clear to us, because the scouts we sent out did not return at all, and none of them."

"The west is indeed as they said, there are traces of green skin tribes, those green skins are very special, some green skins are blue, and the combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated. As for the south, the scouts have only entered the temple ruins and searched a little. The treasure returned, but we still lost half of our staff. "

"As for the north, Fuggen and his ashes are currently occupying three coastal towns, namely Skoggi, Marauder Harbor and Marsh Town, and we are across the sea," Pioneer Officer continued. "After many times The staff of Ashes now has nearly 40,000 soldiers alone, and has a population of about 100,000. They seem to have reached a certain tacit understanding with the Lizardmen. They rarely enter the jungle, and the Lizardmen also They safely handed over these coastal ports to their jurisdiction. The two sides have several trading points near the jungle. The Ember Legion uses seafood, livestock, and wood to trade with the Lizardmen. The Lizardmen provide them with gold, silver, and good. Medical drugs and magic jewelry, even some domesticated cold lizards. "

"Damn, **** traitor!" Empire General Alaric shouted with dissatisfaction. The veteran hammered the wooden table hard and hated his teeth: "Sooner or later, we must include all of these places In the arms of the empire, we are the ones who bring civilization to these stupid and backward places! "

General Hunter and the Pioneer Officer were also impressed by the huge profits. Eric took a few breaths and wanted to say something. As a result, the Pioneer Officer hurriedly said: "No, we must not fight the Legion of Ashes now. Yes, when we first arrived here, they provided us with a guide, and we do n’t have enough food supply at the moment, we also rely on buying from the Ashes Legion! "

Eric and Alaric frowned almost at the same time. After he heard this, Eric hesitated and told the Pioneer Officer: "So, can you send a man to the Marauder Harbor to tell Commander Fuggen, If he is willing to surrender all the troops and towns, I can propose to the emperor to keep him an empire! "

Pioneer officer Richard smiled bitterly: "General Eric, if you change this to you, would you?"

The General Hunter was silent for a few seconds and shook his head somewhat self-deprecatingly: "Okay, then needless to say, we sailed from the empire to this place for a few months and lost a lot of troops and died a lot. Soldiers, if there is no gain, how should we face the expectations of the nobles and imperial people who support us? "

Thinking of the amazing wealth and large number of troops held by the Ember Legion, I thought of waiting for the elimination of the Lizardmen. These disobedient towns and residents were destined to be defeated by the Imperial Army and honestly surrender their wealth, and these people Actually kindly reminded himself of danger, Eric shook his head, but our elite imperial army, can you compare with a group of temporary people made up of conscripts and weak mercenaries?

"Other things will be discussed for now. The first thing we need to do now is to get enough harvest. In this way, we will rest for another day, and then I will lead two thousand people to go south, looting the Tokan Temple, and this All the wealth within the ruins is brought into my arms, and the rest will wait until later. "General Hunter made a decision immediately.

"Yes!" The military discussion came to an end, and the three officers stepped out of the account.

Pioneer Officer Richard guided General Hunter to an open space in the camp: "Look at this, General, this thing will be ready today, and I will definitely be able to help you in this war!"

Above the open space, the artisans of the empire are finalizing their work, and a chariot assembled from wooden boards is undergoing final testing.

"Old-fashioned imperial chariots, which have long been eliminated by steam tanks, but I didn't expect it to work well in the jungle." Pioneer officer Richard said to General Hunter: "The horses provided by the locals are really Too few, we simply have no way to organize a strong cavalry, but we can use local materials and use mixed packs of horses and war horses to keep the musketeers on a relatively safe chariot, which is conducive to maintaining firepower output and retreat."

"Very good." Eric nodded again and again: "Let's prepare!"

"The only regret is that the expeditionary knight left." The Empire general was a bit disappointed, but he was a legendary pinnacle.

"Don't count on the Brittany knights. In the long history, we are not always friends." Eric sighed: "In this dark age, we can only rely on ourselves."

"This is the empire!"

............ I am for the dividing line of the empire ............

A day later, the forest path in the forest sea of ​​northern Lucia.

The imperial army of more than two thousand people is slowly advancing in the tropical rain forest.

Muddy land, humid air, annoying mosquitoes, lush vegetation.

Green, endless green, sky-high giant trees, extremely lush shrubs, and sticky wet moss all make the Empire soldiers accustomed to the climate of the imperial black forest feel extremely uncomfortable, obviously now in November will not be very It was hot, but almost all the imperial soldiers were already sweating.

Hunter General Eric holds a large enchanted bow in his hand and walks in the front of the line. Behind him are the rows of imperial pikemen, then archers and crossbowmen, and then the imperial swordsmen And two imperial chariots.

"Attention! Don't try to pick any fruit, don't eat anything that looks like it can be eaten." General Hunter keeps ordering: "Don't order, gather, no one knows what will be in the forest, give me a fight. Get up! "

"Yes!" The imperial army was still very careful. They looked around cautiously. Many imperial soldiers had never seen such an environment, and naturally did not dare to mess up.

"It's surprisingly quiet." The march has been for several hours. The whole army has not encountered any enemies. Eric gasped for a few breaths. His hands held the big bow hard, which made him feel better. .

According to intelligence gathered by the empire, Ruthia has a large number of carnivorous plants and carnivores. Marginal vines, bloodthirsty spore clouds and spiked plants are all looking for careless victims.

Large cats, man-eating monkey creatures, and large groups of buzzing giant insects are constantly infested in the jungle. The deadliest are the ancient giant beasts in the jungle. These reptiles should have been It has been completely extinct in the long history, but the fact is that they are still infested in the jungle and are at the top of the food chain.

As a hunter general, Eric ca n’t wait to fight well with these legendary monsters.

However, everything was very quiet, huge banana leaves, vines and shrubs filled all the sight of the entire imperial army, the difficult climbing of the old vines and dead branches, the damp and hot flashes that could not see the sun, from the eyes to the soul, all Everything is overwhelmed by green, all levels of very clean green surround the expeditionary army from all directions, the trees are fragrant and rotten odors are mixed together, in this forest with billions of years of life, Time seemed to stand still, even leaking fine sunlight from the dense leaves, slowly moving in the jungle with fallen leaves.

"It's rustling ~" Just in the depths of the forest, there seems to be something moving. An empire hunter immediately turned around in shock and pulled a short bow in one direction of the forest: "Who!"

There is nothing, the forest seems to be quiet again, and the forest seems to be fogged, making everything unreal.

"Where?" When the Imperial hunter turned again to look at another line of defense, a blowing arrow suddenly flew from the distant canopy and stuck on his back. The Imperial hunter screamed, he was thinking Counterattack, the body's violent paralysis engulfed him.

"It's ... poisonous." The excellent Empire hunter spit out the last word and died on the spot.

"Enemies !!!" General Hunter issued a sharp warning sound, the Imperial Army woke up immediately in panic, the spearmen and swordsmen lined up in two rows, and the archers and musketeers immediately blew towards them. The arrow fired in the direction that the arrow was flying, and hundreds of feather arrows and dozens of projectiles roared deep into the forest.

But nothing happened, they just bombarded a bush and shot through some leaves.

The distant canopy swayed left and right under the attack.

Then, the silence was restored, and there was a whispering whisper in the depths of the jungle. The hunter general's big bow was filled several times but he could not find the target at all.

What he didn't notice was that a chameleon saw the human army moving on, not far away from the crown of the tree, and threw out his tongue, holding a hollow branch in his hand. It jumped gently and took two out of his arms. A poison dart disappeared on the canopy of another giant tree.

"Poof ~"

"Ah!" Another Empire soldier was hit by a poison dart! The poison on the poison dart killed him immediately.

"Damn! Damn! Damn!" The imperial army fired wildly again in panic, but still got nothing.

In this way, in the next two hours, the entire imperial army was constantly hit by arrows or poison darts, and died in pain under the influence of toxins. The soldiers were panicked and morale was low. This special environment in the depths of the jungle Below, although the loss was not great, everyone was in danger and the soldiers crowded together and looked around with fear.

It seems that every tree, every bush, even every vine has become a terrible threat!

"Hiss ~ hiss ~" The whispers of reptiles surround the woodland, far and near, seemingly absent.

"Dense formations, watch around!" Eric was sweating at this time, he could always feel that there was something in the jungle, watching them.

That kind of look is chilling.

Fortunately, after a long march, the ruins of the lizardmen finally arrived, and the legendary Tocan Temple appeared in front of the imperial soldiers, and as in the legend, the ruins were full of gold, silver, enamel, and various gemstones. The ruins are covered with moss and vines, as well as collapsed walls and trees. It can be seen vaguely that this used to be a glorious temple, but I do n’t know why it fell here.

"Oh! God, a lot of gold, Ms. Fortune is on, I have never seen so much gold in my life!"

"Charlemagne bless us!"

"We are rich!"

"Great! This piece of gold is mine!"

"This is enamel! I like this!"

When the imperial army saw such amazing wealth, they immediately disturbed their positions. The soldiers who spent two hours in the atmosphere of depression and suffocation could hardly restrain their madness. They desperately took any valuable things to the bag In the pockets, even in the armor, many soldiers simply searched the ground and walked away, and then threw their weapons away. The original neat lineup had now fallen apart. All the soldiers were busy looting, and even fought. .

General Hunter was determined to stop the chaos of these soldiers, but he was powerless. At this time, the imperial soldiers had only gold and precious stones left in their eyes. Even Eric himself could not help digging in the rubble. The dog head gold with a bigger fist made him smile, "Your Majesty will like this."

"Roar ~ roar ~~~" Just as the imperial army was in a mess and greedily took the wealth in the ruins, a roar of roaring sounds rose from the depths of the forest.

In the next second ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ Dozens of monsters rushed towards the ruins from all directions, these monsters consisted of scary lizards, armored dragons, tyrannosaurus and flaming lizards!

Behind these giant beasts are thousands of lizardmen! They release wild howling, holding shields and maces in their hands, and join the battlefield!

"Roar ~ solve these hot-blooded species, for the big plan!" Surrounded by hundreds of temple guards, the big white lizard-Roque and the two spirit lizard priests satisfactorily saw the human army fall into the trap, brother -Roque held the ancient holy artifact Urumak sledgehammer in one hand, and the ancient holy artifact generation shield in the other, pointing to the imperial army still busy in the ruins and ordered: "Go forward! For Itaza , For the big plan, for Lord Croke! "

What responded to him was the roar of a giant beast that spread ten kilometers away.

The jungle trembled forever, and the lush forest swayed back and forth for a long time.

The imperial army was surrounded by lizardmen.

When the first terror lizard knocked over and crushed several imperial spearmen on the spot, the imperial army had even just reacted.

Seeing all the lizardmen in all directions like a tide-like army, there was only one thought left in the mind of General Hunter Eric.

"Hunter, it's prey."
