Unparalleled Beast Soul

Chapter 120 Four Wolves

In the northern forest of Saarland, there are high mountains and dense snow peaks, and the Banshee Mountains of the Beamon Kingdom come to an end here. 【】

From the big map, the northern part of the Thrall Land is connected to the Kingdom's Western Frontier Province, and the Ironforge region is to the east. However, due to the existence of the Darklands, this area has become a restricted area that even mercenaries dare not set foot in.

One morning in midsummer, a team of a hundred people entered this dangerous place.

It has just rained, and the forest is extremely humid and hot. There are a lot of mosquitoes and insects hidden in the dense grass.

From time to time, startled birds and beasts fled in a hurry, and the roar of unknown beasts could be heard faintly from the depths of the woods. In this unpopulated area, danger is everywhere.

Leon stopped, unfolded the map and made a few marks. This area is still blank on the map of Thrall.

His exploration of the northern part of the territory this time is not just to survey the terrain and improve the map, but also to find a way to the Western Frontier Province or the Ironforge area, so as to break the trade barriers of Colinworth Territory .

Although the road from the Thrall Land to the Collingworth Land is currently under construction, and there is a certain amount of trade with the merchant group affiliated to the Mercenary Union, the transaction amount and profits are completely unsatisfactory for Leon.

He is even more unwilling to put his own eggs in one basket, and opening up more business channels is an inevitable choice.

However, the existence of the Underdark is a huge trouble, and the underground black elves and underground monsters are undoubtedly a huge threat.

"This is already a place of demonization..."

The black elf An Lan leaned over and tore a blade of grass from the ground, and sniffed it with her nose: "I can smell the dark energy."

Her ancestors originally came from underground, and although her natural blood power is declining, she is still much more sensitive to the dark aura than ordinary people.

The demonized land is the dark land eroded by the dark forces of the underground. Although this area is not the core range of the dark land, the degree of demonization is not low, and it is slowly expanding and spreading.

Looking into the distance, the forests are dark and deep, from emerald green to dark green, which is the most obvious feature of entering the dark land.

Leon knew that going east from here to the Banshee Mountains was the Ironforge region, but compared to Ironforge, which has a well-developed smelting and forging industry, he hoped to open up a road to the Western Border Province.

That is the biggest outlet and market for Salling.

"Let's move forward, everyone be vigilant and be careful!"

"Yes!"

A hundred fully armed soldiers agreed in unison, shouting like thunder with an astonishing momentum.

Considering the danger of exploring the Northern Territory this time, Leon brought all the guards with him.

These warriors are basically bear descendants. They have followed Leon the longest and are the most loyal to Leon. Their bravery has withstood the test of many battles.

Every guard warrior is fully armed to the teeth. Armor made of metal and animal skins, battle axes made of fine iron, shuttle guns, hand axes, and crossbow daggers are absolutely up to the standard of the king's group in terms of equipment.

In addition to these one hundred fighters, there is also a ten-member scouting team led by Concordia, An Lan, and Qiangwei, together with mage Aklan and shaman Luoya, they can be called the most elite force in the Thrall Territory. .

Luo Ya became a real shaman in half a month, and she is also the third shaman in Thrarland. The seven kinds of magic and spell aura she has mastered are enough to provide strong support for the team.

Forward, forward!The warriors gradually moved forward to the depths of the Underdark.

The forest is becoming more and more dense, and the canopy that blocks the sky blocks most of the light. Although it is a clear day, the forest is dark and gloomy.

Green and black vines spread wantonly, all kinds of weird ferns reached knees, the woodland covered with layers of fallen leaves was soft and slippery to step on, and the air was filled with a decaying atmosphere.

Leon and Concordia walked in the front, and the wolf knight seemed a little restless, as if he was thinking about something.

Leon discovered this, and couldn't help asking: "Concordia, what's the matter?"

The wolf knight hesitated for a moment, and said, "Boss, why do we have to enter the Darklands? If it is to open up a business route to the western border province, we can definitely find a way from a safer place in the west."

"Of course, I'm not afraid of danger," he added.

If it were an ordinary lord, he would wish to be as far away from danger as possible, and he would not take the initiative to come to his door. You must know that even the army of the kingdom is not easy to break into the dark place in groups.

"I know..." Leon smiled and said, "But you should also know that the land of darkness will continue to expand. If we let it grow, sooner or later it will cause big trouble to our territory."

"So this time I'm not only here to open up business routes, but also to sweep up the dark creatures in this area, and try to find the underground exit as much as possible to seal off the source of the dark power!"

What Leon has to do and wants to do is exactly what the Ironforge garrison is doing to constantly eliminate active monsters and black elves, and stop the expansion of the Underdark.

"I understand!" The wolf knight nodded, his eyes were only in front of him, but Leon's eyes were on Thrall's future.

Right now, the Underdark in Thrall's Territory is small and not the most dangerous core area, so it is about to limit or destroy it before it becomes a serious hazard.

Ow!

While Leon was talking with Concordia, a wolf howled suddenly from the black forest ahead.

The expressions of the two changed at the same time, the wolf knight immediately pulled out his battle axe, and the team stopped advancing.

The bushes not far away shook suddenly a few times, and Qiangwei hurried over with a few leopard-born scouts.

The leopard-born girl looked a little troubled: "I found a pack of demon wolves ahead, and they are coming towards us. There are a lot of them!"

In order to ensure safety, the scout team did not stay away from the main team, so they found that the magic wolf must be very close.

"Good time!" Leon shouted in a deep voice, "Get ready to fight!"

The guards immediately dispersed and reorganized their formation.

Fifty warriors took off the large shields on their backs to form a circular defense line, and another fifty warriors stood behind them holding crossbows, protecting mages, priests, and returned scouts.

During the whole process, there was no need to command, and no one made loud noises. The guards stood in their own positions at the first time, and they were well-trained and calm.

Leon and Concordia stayed outside. As the two strongest warriors in the team, they were even more feared.

Ow!Ow!

The howling of the wolf became more and more urgent, and a black shadow appeared in the jungle not far away, and the swaying green light made people shudder.

The dark wolf is a terrifying existence in the Underdark. They do not come from the underground world, but are the products of the wolves in the ground forest that have been eroded by the dark force for a long time and have been demonized.

Demonized demon wolves have the power of monsters, and are even more ferocious. They are famous for their large numbers and fearless attacking spirit. Once they find a large number of outsiders breaking into their territory, they will inevitably launch endless attacks.

The demon wolves came very quickly. They appeared from all directions, cruising in the woods dozens of steps away from Leon and others, and did not attack immediately.

The wolves howling from all around became louder and denser, and the dense green light spots continued to increase, which put enormous pressure on the besiegers. If the mind was not strong enough, the wolves would collapse before they launched an attack.

However, such psychological tactics have no effect on the Thunder Beast guards who have gone through the test of iron and blood. They have nerves and wills that are tougher than steel.

"They are waiting for the command of the wolf..." Concordia looked a little dignified.

As a member of the wolf-born family, he has a better understanding of the habits of the wolf family, and there are at least hundreds of demon wolves gathered around him.

The Underdark welcomes intruders in its own way!

"Hmph!" Leon snorted coldly, waved his hands and ordered: "Let them taste the power first!"

Fifty soldiers holding crossbows pulled the triggers together, and with the sound of the trembling of the crossbow strings, all the wounded crossbow arrows flew out!

Those dark wolves probably had never encountered a regular army, and they thought that a few dozen steps was a safe enough distance, but they never expected that the effective killing distance of the crossbows in the hands of the Thunder Beast guards exceeded a hundred steps.

The closest demonic wolves were the first to bear the brunt, and fell down in a circle. The extremely sharp metal arrows easily penetrated the tough wolf skin, pierced into the flesh and blood, and cut the internal organs. Either death or injury!

There were fierce howls one after another, and the wolves who were caught off guard were a little at a loss, and the demon wolves in the back instinctively retreated.

The crossbows of the Ultralisk guards were not procured from outside, but made by Lu Bin's craftsmen.

Thrall has all the materials for making the crossbow, such as wood, metal, animal tendons...Through the ingenious work of these craftsmen, they have been turned into sharp and murderous weapons!

Leon paid great attention to the long-range strike ability of his soldiers. He did not hesitate to slow down the construction speed of Thrall City, and mobilized manpower to cooperate with the rush to manufacture crossbows. As a result, within two months, one-third of the soldiers in the Thunder Beast Battalion had crossbow.

Thunder Beast guards are even handy, and crossbow shooting is also one of the daily training items, so dealing with those unsuspecting magic wolves is like a living target.

Ow!Ow!Aww!

An extremely loud and high-pitched wolf howl suddenly overwhelmed all the voices, and those retreating demon wolves were startled suddenly, their tails were erected and their teeth were grinning, revealing their fierce looks!

"It's a wolf!" Concordia suddenly turned his head to the direction of the voice, and the wolf's eyes showed enthusiasm: "Let's kill it!"

Leon pulled him back: "Don't worry, let them suffer first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of black shadows rushed over from all directions!
