Hotel on the mountain

"My lord! My lord! The people are here!" A subordinate rushed to report breathlessly.

"Great! If you get into an ambush, no one can escape!" Alpha responded, "Which fortress is it from?"

"It's from our fortress!"

"Huh?" General Alpha's eyes were full of doubts.

"No, no, no, it's Polanyi who's here!" The subordinate quickly changed his explanation.

General Alpha carefully opened the camouflaged tent, and the sound of horse hooves could be heard on the dirt road in the forest. Their ambush position was in the forest on both sides of a two-car wide road. The dense vegetation and trees provided very good concealment. Effect.

At this time, he saw the spiky-headed Polanyi with short golden hair making a sudden stop in the middle of the road and looking back eagerly.

"Hey, why is this kid here?" General Alpha muttered, "This kid always causes trouble."

"Yes, General." Kunca nodded in agreement, "I always have an ominous premonition."

Alpha was hiding in the camouflage tent, observing Bolanni on the road through a small gap. When he saw him staying with another person with a funny hairstyle and wearing formal clothes, he was also anxiously waiting for something.

After a while, another subordinate came to report: "Sir! Sir! Someone is here again!"

"Okay! Which fortress is it from?"

"It's a hunter!"

Alpha was shocked, thinking of some notorious hunter groups, and quickly asked: "How many people are there?!"

"one person!"

General Alpha lamented that he was getting older and no longer had the violent temper he had when he was young. He patted his subordinates on the shoulder and said seriously: "Brother, we have thousands of people ambushing outside. Not to mention a hunter, it is just an ancient dragon. It has to die too. Next time, can you be more cautious and report in a lower voice?"

The subordinate said "oh" twice, understood and backed away.

"The soldiers are getting more excited now, as if they are eager to fight." General Alpha patted his belly depressedly, and then moved closer to the gap to observe.

He watched quietly, and saw Bolani and the man with the funny hairstyle meeting a hunter wearing fire dragon light armor who came from behind. The three of them got together, got excited, and said something. , suddenly began to speed up and whip the horses further west.

General Alpha breathed a sigh of relief. As he gets older, he will always be involuntarily superstitious about some strange things - for example, if he feels that Bolanni, whom he regards as the god of plague, has left his field of vision, then on this day, Something good should happen.

He sat back in his seat, preparing to close his eyes and rest for a while, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt his shoulder being poked. He opened his eyes and saw that the subordinate who had reported the situation was back again. Touch his shoulder quietly.

"It shouldn't be a big deal." Alpha thought to himself.

"Who is coming this time?" Alpha asked calmly.

"Sir." The subordinate quietly approached Alpha's ear and whispered slowly, "It's the legions of the Great Chik Empire who are coming."

The camouflage tent was silent for a second.

Then General Alpha burst through the tent door with his big belly and began to run and shout: "Everyone! Get ready to meet the enemy! This is not a drill! It is not a drill! Our enemy is the Great Chik Empire Army! Repeat Once again, the enemy is the Chik Empire Army!"

Shortly after the shouting, the people at Duoyin River Fortress felt the ground rumbling, as if hundreds of cavalry were galloping towards them.

If you raise the angle of view, you will see a huge group of people crossing the Western Bridge. They are composed of bows and cavalry. During this period, people kept coming out of the town of Realda, taking off their casual clothes and joining the group.

The cavalry leading the pursuit were very fast. Their spiritual energy gathered together and broke through the air. They rushed forward like a straight arrow. The distance between them and Thorad and the three of them was shrinking visibly to the naked eye.

"Chase me!" the cavalry captain shouted, "If we don't lift their heads back, all of us will die!"

"yes!"

"It's still half a day's journey from the border of the Hebrew Empire. They can't escape! Speed ​​up with all your strength!"

"yes!!!"

Their fighting spirit was high, either because of the excitement of chasing prey or because of the fear of the people in power in Zhongdeland. But when they changed their formation and were about to pass through a narrow section, the cavalry captain suddenly shouted: "No! There is an ambush! Everyone..."

Before he could finish his words, a sharp arrow passed through the gap between his helmet and breastplate, hit his neck, and shot him off his horse.

The black man Cuenca squatting on the branch immediately grabbed a new arrow branch and aimed at the new target. The horn of charge sounded at his feet, and the soldiers lifted off their camouflage materials, armed with various weapons, and poured out onto the main road.

The sounds of killing, roaring, groaning, and horse whistling suddenly merged into one.

The three Thorads who were running away stopped their horses and looked towards the road in confusion. They could clearly hear the sounds of killing and the birds all over the sky escaping from the forest.

"What happened there?" asked Obsward.

Thorad thought for a while and replied: "Maybe it's someone sent by Jetro to pick us up."

"The person who is supporting us?" Obsward laughed. He could definitely hear that it was not the killing sound of one or two people. It was obviously the collision of two armies. This feeling of someone behind it, It made him feel better, and he felt more and more that following a good master was a wise choice.

Polanyi remained silent, and Thorad continued: "We can no longer participate in this formation. We must enter the Hebrew Empire quickly to avoid pursuing troops."

The three of them started running away again. On Alpha's side, he calmly observed the situation, commanding troops to intercept from time to time, refusing to let anyone go.

The cavalry suffered a tragic fate after being ambushed and their horses' legs were cut off. The vanguard was quickly wiped out, but subsequent regiments from the Chik Empire also joined the battle. At this point, the battle evolved from an ambush to a jungle battle.

The generals on both sides were concentrating on analyzing the situation on the battlefield, but for a moment, the battlefield suddenly became quiet, because everyone raised their heads and looked towards the sky——

A huge black shadow passed over their heads, and waves of debilitating gray mist floated over, as if their vitality was being consumed. Many people on the battlefield lost the will to fight, and many People began to kneel down and cough.

"Not good!" General Alpha subconsciously wrapped his mouth and nose with cloth, observed the deathly gray mist floating around him, and said with a little trembling, "It's the corpse dragon coming!"

Although his voice was frightened, he tried hard to calm down. He spoke loudly and methodically to the staff around him: "Send the message, order the Duoin River Fortress garrison to activate the highest alert, disperse the residents, and activate all dragon-shooting guns on standby; send the message , the headquarters of the Hunter Guild, requesting eight-star hunters to gather at the Duoin River Fortress; a message was sent to Marshal Adolf and Duke Raya that a corpse dragon appeared on the border of the Western Region, fearing the outbreak of war; ordered that all soldiers retreat as quickly as possible, And, leave a group of people to break up with me."

"Sir, this..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Act quickly!

"But, sir, didn't you say that thousands of us will die even if Gu Long comes?"

"Do you understand the hyperbole?!"

General Alpha roared, and then calmly explained with a little loss, "This is a battlefield. The more corpses there are, the stronger the corpse dragon will be. We have no chance of winning."

General Alpha looked at the sky and could already see the flesh-film-like wings of the corpse dragon. He watched, watched, and watched as the Corpse Dragon waved its wings and left the area without taking any corpses with it.

"Huh?" Alpha was stunned.

Still the subordinate reminded: "Sir, its target does not seem to be us."

"Then why are you still standing there! Kill the people on the other side quickly!" General Alpha roared, sending people to the front line one by one.

While the three Thorads were running away, they heard the flapping sound of life-threatening wings behind them.
