Lord Highlander

   Chapter 1008 994. Interrogation

In just one week, the first swordsman regiment led by the great swordsman Quintus has initially adapted to the environment and climate in this rainforest. The humidity in this rainforest is extremely high, even in the dense jungle, everywhere There are shrubs, vines, and ferns growing in the jungle. There are many small animals and birds in the jungle, but the large beasts and meat animals are basically invisible. A jungle leopard cat can dominate this jungle.

  From the mouths of the magicians of the Law Enforcement Corps, it is known that there have been traces of the reconnaissance team of the Third Legion of the Lord Army in the vicinity.

  The Great Swordsman Quintus led the Constructed Swordsman Group into this rainforest, looking for traces of the reconnaissance team, and wanted to capture one or two scouts from the third legion of the lord's army, and listen to the intelligence on the opposite side.

  The jungle is damp, some rotten trees are lying in the jungle, and there are slippery moss everywhere, which will slip if you are not careful when walking.

  There is a lot of water vapor in the rotten leaf soil. If you step in, the footprints will seep into the accumulated water.

Many trees and vines in the rainforest are covered with thorns. If you want to pass through this kind of thorns, you need not only prepare a machete, but also wear a thorn-proof leather armor. Although the moisture in the leaf rot is almost saturated, the long-term Boots step on it, but the soles will not get much mud.

  The food chain here is very simple. Flying insects and poisonous snakes run rampant in the forest. The piebald cats in the jungle like to catch snakes very much, and most of the birds in the forest feed on these flying insects.

A team of five constructed swordsmen entered this rainforest. The leader who walked in the front used a sword to pick away a small green snake with the thickness of a thumb. The group passed through the trees with huge aerial roots. Those colorful insects Stop casually on a tree trunk.

   They have been walking in this rainforest for most of the day, and they have been tracking the footprints of a row of military boots.

  The leader of the construction swordsman captain is good at tracking, and he didn't see any traps along the way, so it shouldn't be a hunter passing by here.

The captain of the constructed swordsman suddenly stopped behind a big tree, and winked at a constructed swordsman behind him. Using both hands and feet, the constructed swordsman climbed up a big tree in a few strokes and squatted Peeping forward on a leafy branch.

   Soon he slid down from the tree and said to the Captain Constructed Swordsman:

   "Captain, those people are in front, a total of fifteen people, three dogs..."

  The Constructed Swordsman Captain whispered:

   "Attention everyone, get ready to fight, save two alive and take them back, kill the dog first."

"yes!"

  The constructed swordsmen responded softly.

  Five constructed swordsmen surrounded the lord army reconnaissance team who were resting in the woodland from all sides.

  …

  This reconnaissance team has a total of twelve members and belongs to the standard infantry team.

  They are a reconnaissance team, so each team member is equipped with a jungle hunting bow, short sword and shield, and they also wear leather armor that is easy to travel through the forest.

The members of the reconnaissance team found a mysterious tree in the jungle. In fact, there is nothing special about this big tree. It has a huge root system that lifts the whole big tree to a height of nearly two meters. The crown of the tree is like a flower umbrella in a secret room. Small white flowers bloom between the star-shaped leaves.

   This small flower exudes a refreshing fragrance, which not only has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, but also has the effect of repelling mosquitoes.

  The rainforest is sweltering and hot, there are many mosquitoes, and the forest is full of thorny vines. The soldiers usually cover themselves tightly in the forest.

  In the jungle, every mysterious tree is a rare resting place. This reconnaissance team has been in the jungle for three days, and now it is ready to take a good rest before returning to the Seventh Infantry Battalion of the Third Army.

Hellhounds hate the humid environment here very much. The humid water vapor makes the lava veins on the surface of their skin form a thick layer of hard skin. In the forest, these sharp-edged hard skins are always scratched everywhere. Now their bodies are stained. It was covered with green moss, and these wet moss were quickly dehydrated by the heat of the **** dog on the **** dog, and finally became some green powder floating in the air, with a pungent smell.

   Cerberus particularly hate this smell.

  Three demon servants completely wrapped in black robes were using branches to dust the moss off the hellhound's body.

   Their skin transformed into that of a hellhound, like volcanic rock flowing through mottled black rock formations, with blood seeping out of cracks.

  The three demon servants sat together silently with pain in their eyes.

  In contrast, the twelve soldiers of the reconnaissance team seemed much more relaxed. They spread their sleeping bags under the tree, took off their light leather armor and lay on it, enjoying the rare coolness.

   At this moment, the three hellhounds lying under the tree suddenly stood up, and the three pairs of blood-red pupils looked around vigilantly.

  The demon servants stood up hastily, and one of them shouted to the scouting team in a hoarse voice: "Enemy attack..."

  The soldiers of the reconnaissance team woke up from their sleep. They put light leather armor on their bodies indiscriminately, but it was too late.

  There was a rustling sound in the forest, the branches above the head shook suddenly, a constructed swordsman jumped down from the canopy, and the long sword in his hand flashed a sword light in midair.

  A flash of sword light slashed across, and the hellhound pounced on the sky, and was beheaded by the construction warrior on the spot.

The moment the constructed swordsman landed, he stepped on the air roots of the mysterious tree with his feet slanted, his body curled up and rolled to the left, avoiding the bite of the other two hellhounds, the long sword in his hand was like a spirit It pierced the demon servant's chest like a snake.

  The demon servant burst out a fistful of purple blood from his chest, and fell backwards on his back.

In this gap, four constructed swordsmen rushed out from four directions of the forest at the same time. The magic pattern structures on their bodies were shining with gorgeous magic patterns, and their bodies were as light as leopard cats in the jungle. Every jump has a unique rhythm.

For ordinary soldiers, these three hellhounds are definitely more ferocious monsters than tigers and leopards, but under the joint efforts of the four constructed swordsmen, the remaining two hellhounds were decapitated one after another. Seeing the death of the hellhound, the three demon servants immediately went mad and rushed towards the constructed swordsman.

  The demon servants wailed and stretched out their sharp claws, but they were beheaded by the constructed swordsmen one by one next to the hellhound.

When the soldiers of the reconnaissance team saw the swordsmen wearing the magic pattern structure, they immediately knew what kind of swordsmen they encountered. They didn't even have the courage to fight, and some of them didn't even have time to wear the leather armor on their bodies. , under the captain's whistle, they immediately dispersed and fled to the dense forest.

The captain of the constructed swordsmen naturally wouldn't let them escape like this. Relying on the speed advantage provided by the magic pattern construct, they pierced the thighs of the two slowest scouting team soldiers under the tree, and then used a dagger to pierce the thighs of their right hands. Palms nailed to the tree trunk.

  This is what they left alive...

   When chasing and killing other scouting team members, these constructed swordsmen can move freely.

  They were like a group of jungle headhunters, almost jumping repeatedly, catching up from behind with a sword on the throat, and immediately went after the next one.

This team of constructed swordsmen cooperated very tacitly with each other. Almost everyone chased and killed two soldiers of the reconnaissance team one after another, and then dragged their bodies back to the tree. The items on the soldiers of the reconnaissance team, including leather weapons, etc. , of course became their spoils of war.

  If the fighters of these reconnaissance teams have nothing on them, they can also report them to become achievements.

  Of course, if they intend to ask for merit points, all the items on the soldiers of the reconnaissance team will be confiscated.

  …

  In addition to the two soldiers of the reconnaissance team whose thighs were almost completely broken, they were brought back to Suldak's camp, and even the body of a demon servant was brought back.

  The corpse of the demon servant is now lying in a tent in the camp. A group of magicians lifted the corpse to the table, and everyone dissected the demon servant with all their might...

  Master Harper looked at the organs that had gradually decayed, with a serious expression on his face.

   There was a rancid smell in the tent. Master Harper pulled out the silver knife and looked at the blackened edge. These internal organs were gradually becoming demonized.

   "It should be an ordinary resident on the plane." Archmage Harper lowered his head and said expressionlessly.

   "Why did they sign a soul contract with the hellhound?" A young magician standing behind the crowd asked suspiciously.

"In order to control these **** dogs more effectively, these people can sign a devil contract with these **** dogs by dedicating their souls to the big devil through some kind of evil ceremony. Although they have become such ugly appearances, they are basically In fact, it is equivalent to having the lifespan of a hellhound, but in order to live a few more days, the price paid is a bit too high." A middle-aged magician explained accordingly.

   "How come so many people are willing to become servants of the devil?" The young magician sighed again.

   "What if they didn't do it voluntarily?" Archmage Harper raised his head, glanced around sternly, and asked.

  The faces of the magicians around changed slightly, and everyone remained silent, as if if they stopped talking in depth, that kind of cruel thing would not happen.

  …

On the other side of the camp, in order to prevent the two fighters from the investigation team from dying early during the interrogation process, Suldak personally treated their wounds and performed basic hemostasis. The wound to wear was re-sewed.

  The great swordsman Quintus, as the chief judge, sat under a big tree, and two recruits from the infantry regiment dug a hole silently beside the big tree with shovels.

  The two pits are almost two meters long and half a meter wide.

  The roots under the big tree are criss-crossed, which is not easy to dig.

  The great swordsman Quintus was sharpening a dagger with a whetstone, and the constructed swordsmen escorted the two scouting team soldiers under the big tree.

  The soldiers of the Lord Army saw the two square pits under the tree, and their faces turned a little pale.

  The great swordsman Quintus patted the bloodless faces of the two with his dagger, and approached them and said:

"Listen well, I will only say these words once. I ask you questions. If you answer without thinking, hesitate, don't know... or answer incorrectly, you will be punished. The punishment is very simple. Cut off your fingers... count your toes If you don’t answer, you will have twenty chances to answer incorrectly or fail to answer!”

  He paused, and with a cruel smile on the scarred face, he opened his mouth and said:

   "Don't worry, my questions are not difficult! The two of you will answer together..."

  For a while, the air seemed to be blocked.

  No one in the Constructed Swordsman Regiment was willing to watch the interrogation of the Great Swordsman Quintus, only a group of recruits from the Heavy Armored Infantry Regiment in the distance did not dare to approach and could only watch from a distance.

   "Where are you from?" Quintas the Great Swordsman said suddenly.

  The highly nervous reconnaissance team soldier immediately blurted out: "The Seventh Infantry Regiment of the Third Legion..."

   "Number...Third..." The other soldier may have been a little nervous, not only stuttered, but also got stuck in the middle.

   "You are slow!" Quintas pointed to the soldier.

Immediately, two constructed swordsmen came up from behind. One held his arm and covered his mouth with his hand. The other swordsman chopped off his finger like cutting a carrot, and his **** thumb rolled away. fell on the soil under the tree.

   "Woooooooooooo..."

  The soldier's mouth was covered, and he couldn't even utter a scream.

   After a short pause, the great swordsman Quintus raised his hand again and said:

   "Second question, where did these demon servants come from?"

   "It was brought by those black magicians!"

   "Arktown."

  The two blurted out almost at the same time, but when they said 'brought by the black magician' their eyes were obviously wide open, and they almost shouted with a bitter voice in despair:

   "Oh, I also know it's Ake Town..."

   Seeing that the emotions of the two captives had been brought up, the great swordsman Quintus showed a little satisfaction, and said slowly:

   "Very well, let's continue... What is the mission of the Seventh Infantry Regiment of the Third Army?"

   "..."

   No answer.

   "Woo..."

  This time, the mouths of the two were covered at the same time, and they let out suppressed screams.

  The two soldiers of the investigation team finally died during the interrogation process. The great swordsman Quintus asked a lot of information, which required the scout team of the magician investigation team and the construction swordsman team to rush to verify.

  …

  In fact, according to the information obtained by Quintus Great Swordsman:

  Due to a serious disconnect in the logistics supply line of the Lord Army, the entire Third Army was almost scattered in this mountain range.

  Commander Groval McDonnell is the seventh son of Lord MacDonnell. This young man who hastily took over the command of the Third Legion does not have any leadership.

  Although he led the Third Army to break through five rebel camps in one fell swoop and achieved major results in Bansko Town, this only shows that the Third Army is an elite force and has nothing to do with his command ability.

  Currently, the Third Army is trapped in the Black Crow Ridge area, and there are three voices in the army alone.

  The commanders of the cavalry regiment suggested to keep the original results, return to Bansko Town, and then start preparing for the logistics regiment, and make further plans for the westward expedition.

  The commanders of the Infantry Regiment suggested that the five camps of the rebel army should be the center, search outwards, thoroughly remove the hidden dangers in the suburbs of Bansko Town, and then advance steadily to the west.

   But the young commander, Grova, intends to attack the rear of the rebel army in one go. If he can eliminate these rebel troops in one fell swoop, he can easily control the situation in the south.
