Chapter 395

East of blood skeleton Valley, glacier wasteland.

The original road was completely destroyed by the avalanche. The snowstorm day and night made the already difficult road more difficult to walk, even the scene ten steps away could not be seen.

In the bleak blizzard, an Army Ranger hiding behind a rock was breathing cold air, struggling in the vast white world against the biting snow and ice crystals sharper than knives.

Even if it was so difficult, the recruit named Remy didn't intend to give up - if it weren't for his highness connord's temporary decision to go north and the shortage of manpower, he wouldn't have been promoted to a Ranger so soon.

With his teeth clenched, Ranger Remy wrapped his heavy cloak tightly, lay down beside the cliff of the ice wall and looked into the distance, hoping to find some useful clues, but he kept thinking about his experience in the past few days.

This is the second day after the Northern Expedition Corps arrived at the sentry tower of blood skeleton valley. It still hasn't found any useful clues. Coupled with the disappearance of his highness Brandon, it can be said that there is almost no clue.

However... This is not the most serious problem.

It is impossible to establish supply lines under the continuous snowstorm, and it is obviously impossible to provide any supply in the desolate north; Fortunately, his highness Connaught, who had been prepared for a long time, mobilized a large number of materials from the fortress before departure, so he didn't have to worry about logistics.

Rao is well prepared, but the whole regiment continues to suffer from attrition - typhoid fever, chilblain, diarrhea, attack... Similar situations occur almost every day.

Of course, if it were not for this reason, Remy, as a recruit, could not get such an important post as "reconnaissance".

Lying hard beside the cliff, Remy with wide eyes searched carefully in the vast expanse of white; Unfortunately, like yesterday, there was nothing except the snowstorm and the desolation of death.

When Remy frowned and was ready to leave, some "moving" white stopped him and looked in that direction desperately.

One second, ten seconds, half a minute... Remy's blankness gradually began to be surprised, and then turned into panic. He was stunned and trembled. He looked at the continuous "white wave" in the snowstorm, pouring from the snow mountains and wasteland to the blood skeleton valley.

It's not a "white wave" at all. It's an army of thousands of Demons -!!!!

Remy, who was too frightened, was stunned. He didn't come back until five minutes later and found out what he had found!

No, no, we can't stay here any longer. We must return to the barracks immediately and tell his highness connord about it. Sue and tell him... He... Demons are about to invade the fortress of duanjie mountain. They are coming!

Turning in panic, the recruits who almost fell off the cliff hurriedly turned and ran in the direction of coming, but accidentally fell into the snow.

Just as Remy was busy getting up, a hand suddenly pressed his shoulder.

It was a pale, haggard and incomparably cold hand.

"No, don't bite me! Let go, let go --!!!"

With the shrill scream, countless rotten corpse demons slowly climbed out of the snow and "wandered" in the direction of duanjie mountain fortress like walking corpses.

……………………………………………………

"You two, run --!!!"

At the moment Isaac shouted, a black shadow stabbed from behind Lauren without warning!

"Dang!"

The sound of metal collision echoed in the hall, and the suddenly drawn sword rose with a leap, and the black halberd was forcibly opened. The murderous blade sent out a shriek of air tearing and a chop.

In the blink of an eye, the collapsed skeleton and armor weapons were scattered on the ground!

The grey pupil boy, panting slightly and holding a sword in both hands, stood behind the black haired wizard, still with some young faces and distorted expressions - at that moment, there was an extra blood mark on his back, and the torn flesh was still bleeding.

"This is not the time to thank each other, Lord Lorraine." the grim looking Lucian interrupted the black haired wizard who wanted to speak, and put his long sword in front of him:

"We have been besieged!"

Loren was slightly stunned, his dark pupils carefully swept around the whole hall, and the bright silver in his hand breathed the gray blue flame again.

Indeed

Just for a moment, the bones of the Rangers, large and small, which had been scattered in the hall, stood up almost one by one, mechanically raising their shields, and the flat halberds were shining with cold light.

In addition, there are two people holding a shotgun, waving a two handed sword or a long handled Tomahawk. They each form a seemingly scattered but interdependent formation, approaching slowly from the corner of the hall to the center.

"They use the basic configuration and tactics of the Ranger squadron of duanjieshan fortress a hundred years ago." the dignified gray pupil whispered, staring at the approaching enemies:

"At that time, the Rangers going north were likely to encounter powerful monsters at any time. One squadron of 16 people was the smallest combat power, which was used to encircle and suppress the demons encountered, while two squadrons were common."

Lauren frowned slightly with a murderous look in her eyes.

"First, twelve halberds and shield hands form a shield wall to block the way and squeeze the moving space of prey;"

With mechanical steps, the "guards" with shields and halberds have moved to the front, back, left and right directions, and are still approaching the center.

"Secondly, shooters and archers are responsible for containing and harassing the enemy; Duke lottel once suggested that Rangers use the same gun as the ancient wood elves to deal with monsters stronger than ordinary humans;"

In a few corners of the hall, several "guards" have raised their guns and are constantly wandering around.

"Finally, they are two handed swordsmen who are responsible for hunting demons. They will launch a surprise attack when the monsters are completely desperate and constantly disturbed by guns. Although that's true, because there are many Arles in the fortress, they prefer long handled axes to two handed swords;"

Just after the approaching shield wall, the "guard" holding both hands of big sword and Tomahawk is also gradually approaching, like waiting for the gap between the three to reveal their flaws to launch a surprise attack.

"Perfect tactics..." nodded and looked at the "guards". Loren slightly raised his mouth: "why did he give up later?"

"That's because... This tactic has an almost fatal defect." the grey pupil smiled easily, raised his long sword slowly, and whispered:

"Fit."

While his voice fell, the guards around suddenly attacked Lauren and Lucian!

The roar came, the black haired wizard almost instinctively dodged, and the sharp halberd passed by less than ten centimeters from his ear.

The mechanical guard had not given up, and the halberd blade of lunkong immediately waved a note to chop; But at that moment, the gray and blue shadow had rushed within three steps.

Chop -!

The shield broke, cut off the light flame of the shield, smashed the whole guard, splashed out the broken bones, and bounced away the two handed swordsmen hiding behind the shield wall!

The black haired wizard slipped away without hesitation; Sure enough, at the moment he dodged, the air tearing shotgun had roared and crossed straight in front of him.

At the next moment, the two handed swordsman who had been swung away had rushed to his face; But what "welcomes" it is no longer the gray blue sword, but Loren's open left hand and a soft whisper:

"Force impact."

"Bang --!"

The burst of air flashed past like the essence, and instantly blasted the two handed swordsman into pieces!

Yes, if an ordinary Ranger just stood in front of him, this move would certainly be dodged by the other party... But the key to the problem is that "they" are no longer human.

Just a group of skeleton puppets manipulated by some void force!

"Rangers hunting demons? From this moment on, you are prey!" a cruel smile appeared at the corners of Loren's mouth:

"And we... Are the hunters!"
