Knights of the Wasteland Fortress

Chapter 140 Dispersion
Jiatu and the others didn't quite agree with Leng Dao's idea at first.

Although the tree wolf tribe has a large number of people, it is nothing compared to the empire and the huge group of ghouls. In this case, it is considered to divide the army into five places, and it is likely to end miserably.

But there was no result of the debate that night, but changes appeared during the daytime of the next day.

According to reports from Wu Ning and the others in the rear, the imperial army that had gathered near the tribe of the Black Wolf clan suddenly disappeared.

There are only some simple sundries left in place.

Unless the mages of the Ministry of Beloved used a large-scale invisibility spell, the only possibility was to leave.

"Either they plan to ambush us... or have they already evacuated through the transmission channel..."

Jiatu couldn't rule out the first possibility.

But after all, this is the world of the tree wolf clan in the low-mohuang world. If the empire really uses a large-scale invisibility spell, then the nearly ten-kilometer mountain road from the Black Wolf Clan to the White Wolf Clan will form a huge fortune. expenditure--

Jiatu did not forget the concept that the demons in the imperial world were equivalent to magic crystal coins.

Such a large amount of output is only for encircling and suppressing the remnants of the tree wolf tribe. No matter how you think about it, it is a bit of a fuss.

"If you choose to retreat, it is understandable..."

Through the maps compiled by Wu Ning and the others, Jiatu realized that the entire Tianhuo Peak was surrounded by ghouls.

In addition to the core area, even in the outskirts of the original tree wolf villages in the East River Valley, a large number of black iron-level ghouls appeared.

And if Lau Wu really had enough confidence in his spells, he could wait until everything was over, and then bring a few elite imperial wizards to "single-handedly" recover the divine bodies of the corpse tide giant and the mother of skyfire.

That's what Cato would do if he were him.

Therefore, in the case of the temporary retreat of the empire, Leng Dao's plan has a certain possibility——

Of course, it was not an honest attack from the outside, but after capturing the Lower East River Valley, they then detoured to the other five tree wolf clan villages through the small road inside Tianhuo Peak.

In this way, they only need to concentrate on dealing with the silver-ranked ghouls on the outskirts of the East River Valley, and the black-iron-ranked ghouls in other villages.

"However, this plan only has a two-day window of action at most."

When the plan was reconfirmed the next morning, many trainees, including Jiatu, noticed it.

With the attack of the corpse tide giants on the main enchantment of Tianhuo Peak, the effectiveness of the Tianhuo enchantment is also weakening.

Based on the current situation, a large number of silver-level ghouls will appear in the tree wolf villages in two days at most. At that time, with the current manpower of trainees and tree wolf warriors, if you want to take back Cang Jianmu It will be difficult——

Even Cang Jianmu himself will be destroyed by the tide of ghouls!

"Besides time, is it that group of crown-level ghouls..."

After summarizing the basic situation of Tianhuo Peak and Tree Wolf Village, Jiatu turned his attention to an extremely huge "big black spot" on the map.

Jiatu had encountered this "big black spot" in the process of collecting Moko before.

It was a group of huge beasts wandering around the edge of the Dead Forest and the Black Forest, consisting of silver-ranked and above ghouls. There were nearly a hundred of them, and each one was more than ten meters long. The leading "giant beast" even There are dozens of meters, like a moving hill.

Without the level of firepower of ground-penetrating missiles, even the 120mm artillery of the explorer cannot cause much damage to them.

"Fortunately, their current location is some distance away from the East River Valley, otherwise they would really be blocked by them and unable to move forward..."

After Jiatu and Lengdao confirmed the action plan, they split up into three groups and attacked the East River Valley——

The reason for turning into three teams was not to divide the troops.

Instead, only when the team is organized into three groups can a sufficiently wide combat depth be launched.

The left and right wings led by Hua Lun and Yin Xian will keep the ghouls on both sides of the central army, and the troops with two wings will share the pressure. Enemy, clean up those ghoul troops crowded on the complex terrain——

The cliff plank road used by the wolf warriors to defend against foreign enemies has now become a fortification for the ghouls.

Fortunately, most of the ghouls were just low-level beasts, and some silver-level monsters appeared occasionally, and they didn't know how to take advantage of the terrain to throw boulders from top to bottom, so Jiatu's advance was smooth.

When encountering large-scale low-level ghouls, Leng Dao and the tree wolf warriors will clear the way.

And if a silver-ranked ghoul got stuck in a key position like the entrance of the plank road, Jiatu and the others would use bullets to headshot him.

Whether it is black iron level, silver level, or even Juggernaut level, they are still flesh and blood in essence. Under the rain of bullets from the exoskeleton with increased firepower and output, they are just some tough pieces of meat——

Compared with an ordinary human body, it is only the difference between a water bag and a dried glue bag!
The only ones that caused great trouble to Jiatu and the others were not those silver-ranked corpse bears and owlbeasts.

It was a group of crows at the black iron level.

These small creatures, only more than 20 centimeters in size, became small cruise missiles after they turned into ghouls.

They pounced on the warriors of the tree wolf tribe in dense numbers in the hundreds and thousands, causing great damage to them.

With their staggering numbers, exoskeleton bullets aren't pretty either.

Facing the attack of the crows, Jiatu only felt that the night was falling in an instant, and the screams of the tree wolf warriors were everywhere around him, and the crows poking straight at the ground like a rainstorm blocked everything in his field of vision.

Crackling hits on the exoskeleton exploded, and soon Jiatu's side was covered with flesh and feathers.

Facing this astonishing natural might, Jiatu deeply realized his insignificance.

When facing Bavante, he never felt so powerless——

No matter how strong the opponent is, he is just one person.

Under the restriction of Moko's bottleneck, he had to face the siege of dozens of people from his own side.

But now their army of about 100 people was surrounded by thousands of crows.

If a person kills at most two or three corpse crows, he will be swallowed by a steady stream of corpse crows.

Warriors of the tree wolf tribe kept falling around him.

And relying on the strength of the exoskeleton, he and the rest of the trainee team were fine, but the others were not so lucky.

"Use your breath! Blast them!"

Jiatu vaguely heard Leng Dao's order, but in the face of absolute numbers, no amount of powerful spells would help.

Whether it's An Jie's fireball or Leng Mou's breath, they can only kill dozens of corpse crows in one go.

Those trainees and tree wolf mounts who can use range attacks are limited.

And this speed——

too slow.

When most of the crows were wiped out by them, the entire Chinese army had been completely wiped out by the crows.

In addition to the trainees equipped with exoskeletons, Leng Dao waited for a few warrior leaders of the wolf clan who were protected by giant wolf mounts to still be alive.

But even so, the giant wolves that protected the knights or the children were also full of corpse crows, and many of them were still burrowing into the flesh when Jiatu and the others pulled them out.

The giant wolf transformed into cold eyes fell not far from Leng Dao, the golden branches in his left eye were forcibly pulled out by the corpse crows, leaving only a bloody hole.

As for Jiatu, just looking at the blood flowing from the giant wolf's side, he knew that it would not live long.

[Blood loss rate exceeds 50%...]

Heiyin confirmed Jiatu's idea with more accurate calculation data.

Walking slowly to Leng Dao's side, Jiatu looked at the dying giant wolf and just wanted to comfort Leng Dao.

But saw Leng Dao wipe the wound on his face, walked over, and chopped off the giant wolf's head with one knife.

"Let's go."

He stared at Jiatu and the others with slightly calm eyes.

Jiatu realized that for Leng Dao, he was already prepared for such a farewell.

"...Compared with the warriors of the wolf tribe, our mentality is more than 01:30 points worse..."

Jiatu glanced over the other trainees around him.

He suddenly realized that, just like Leng Mou, Wei Wei, An Jie, Hua Lun, Zhi Ti...even Hena might die by his side at some point.

It's like Leng Mou and the giant wolf they transformed into.

Following Leng Dao who was carrying the giant wolf's head, Jiatu and the others kept advancing towards the East River Valley.

As the battle progressed, the exoskeletons on Jiatu and the others continued to break down.

It is an antique product from hundreds of years ago, so in terms of reliability, it is naturally not comparable to when it first appeared.

But having just been baptized by the crows, Garto is only grateful for these malfunctioning exoskeletons——

If it weren't for them, he, An Jie and the others would have died under the impact of the crows long ago.

After taking off the exoskeleton on their bodies, the trainees still have combat effectiveness beyond that of ordinary warrior leaders of the wolf tribe.

In addition, the East River Valley is close to Tianhuo Peak, so they finally arrived at their destination safely——

The core of the village of the White Wolf Clan, Cang Jianmu.

Most of the ghouls who entered the tree wolf village were afraid of the golden circle on Cang Jianmu's body.

It seems that as long as you get too close, wisps of green smoke will come out of your body.

But under the attack of the corpse tide giant, the demon circulation on Cang Jianmu's body is also getting weaker and weaker——

Jiatu instinctively realized that when the Cangjianmu cycle collapsed, it was the time when the Great Barrier of Skyfire completely failed.

At that time, not only the group of silver-ranked ghouls, but even that frightening big black spot will completely rush into the East River Valley and wipe them all out.

"Send a message to Captain Wu Ning, saying that we have arrived at Cangjianmu."

Jia Tu and Wei Wei who was beside him asked for a word, and they met Leng Dao's eyes——

"let's go together."

Leng Dao wasn't too wary:

"You openers have also received the seed of desire from the Mother of Skyfire, and you can also use our wolf transformation technique. In a sense, you have also been recognized as the people of the tree wolf clan."

"Subjects whose loyalty is completely zero..."

Hearing what Leng Dao said, Jiatu couldn't help laughing, but he also knew his worry——

None of them knew what the conditions for awakening the Mother of Skyfire were.

Is it enough to have enough faith?Or must it be a pure-blood tree wolf tribe?

No one knows, so one more person to accompany him can also increase some other possibilities.

So after arranging other trainees to guard around Cang Jianmu, Jiatu followed Leng Dao to the ancestral hall of the White Wolf Clan.

Before entering the ancestral hall, Leng Dao put the head of the giant wolf transformed by Leng Mou on the altar under Cang Jianmu.

He knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times as he did in the coming-of-age ceremony before, and then strands of golden demons emerged from Leng Mou's head, blending into Cang Jianmu's golden circle.

"Take it from the people, and use it for the people..."

Looking at the ceremony of the tree wolf clan, Jiatu suddenly seemed to have a deeper understanding of the custom of making grass.

One person and one wolf walked slowly on the mossy flagstone road in front of the White Wolf Ancestral Hall.

Because of Cang Jianmu's protection, the place is so quiet and peaceful that it doesn't seem to be in the center of the battlefield.

To Jiatu's surprise, the two wolf-skin-masked tree wolf priestesses he had seen before did not leave, but led them without saying a word, just like when they first accepted "The Seed of Desire", and went to White Wolf Shrine.

However, compared to the peace and tranquility of the tree wolf priestess, Bika's state is much worse.

When Jiatu saw her again, she was like an orphan girl abandoned at the end of the world, drenched all over, curled up on the stone seat in front of the giant wolf's head, looking at him and Leng Dao weakly.

The heat in the ancestral hall was not as good as before, but the cold spring water was still pouring on her body. Bika was shivering from the cold, but she couldn't leave the holy seat due to the restrictions of the goddess.

"You should be able to leave now, right? You don't need to pour the cold spring anymore..."

For some reason, when Jiatu saw Bika like this, he couldn't connect her with the Goddess of the Mother of Skyfire.

Facing his somewhat offensive speech, Bika just glanced at him slightly through the mask of the white wolf mask:
"I'm leaving, and the skyfire barrier is about to collapse."

For completely different reasons than before, Bika could not abdicate her responsibility.

Although it was just a short sentence, Jiatu immediately understood what he meant.

As for his attitude, the two tree wolf clansmen present did not care.

Because Leng Dao's tone is also casual:
"Bika, I want to see the Mother of Skyfire, is there anything you can do?"

Leng Dao obviously knew Bika, and he called her by his first name without any pleasantries.

But after thinking about it, Jiatu understood this——

After all, the tree wolf village is a small village with only a few thousand people. As the management of the village, Leng Dao and Bika's father, it is impossible for them not to know each other——

It can even be said to be a childhood sweetheart relationship.

Therefore, Bika was not angry when Leng Dao called him by his name, but said lightly:
"I do not know either."

What Bika said made Jiatu and Leng Dao slightly taken aback.

In theory, Bika also knows the legend about awakening the Mother of Skyfire.

But as one of the protagonists in the story, there can only be one reason for her to answer this way——

That is, when she accepted the duty from the previous Goddess, she did not get a way to communicate with the Mother of Skyfire and awaken her.
