The Record of Unusual Creatures Chapter 1230: Furnace Outpost
Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
The blood is extremely weak, and it has been covered up by the chaotic environment in the forest a lot. Hao Ren believes that if it is not his constitution that already belongs to the demigod, he can ignore the various disturbances that the chaotic environment perceives to mortals. To this taste.
The line Vero nica beside him obviously didn't notice the smell of the air in the air.
The princesses and knights are just happy now. After traversing the dangerous chaotic land for so long, I suddenly saw the inspiration from the light of order still shining. The knight is also a human, and I feel Tired and frustrated, they insisted that it was entirely based on a strong belief, and now that the glimmer of light in the depths of the forest gave these tired soldiers new powers: they had approached the outpost of Tarros Too.
For those who trekked in the realm of chaos, seeing such a post is like returning to their hometown, which is a sign of a world of order.
But Hao Ren had to pour cold water on them: "The situation in front is not right."
"What's the matter?" Although Vero nica was excited, she didn't lose her calmness and judgment. When she heard the saying of "Ancient Guardian", she immediately controlled her mind, "What did you see?"
She knows that the "Guardian of the Ancients" has a special power and can perceive more than ordinary people in the realm of chaos, so there is no doubt at this time.
"There is blood," Hao Ren said simply, "It came from the outpost."
Vero nica's eyebrows immediately wrinkled: "... how is it possible that the fire in the outpost should still be burning, the chaotic servants can't attack, and if they are corrupted monsters, they are not the opponents guarded by the outpost. "
Vero nica's self-confidence is justified. "Chaotic servants cannot consolidate entities within the range of orderly light." This is the unstoppable truth of the Koror world. Although corrupted monsters can force into the light of order, It's just moths fighting fire, maybe they have a huge threat to civilians, but they will not be the opponents of the elite veterans in the outpost. So there is a common sense here: on the front line, as long as the fire of a sentry station is still burning, then the outpost is safe. Even if the battlefield is tragic outside, monsters cannot attack the goddess' enchantment.
So she immediately made another conjecture: "Maybe a fight occurred near the outpost."
Hao Ren shook his head slightly, but said nothing, but he knew that Vero nica's conjecture was not very reliable.
Because in the realm of chaos, everything disappears at an alarming rate, especially for things related to life. If the body of a fallen soldier is not sheltered by the relics of order, it will usually be eroded into a magic element within ten minutes. , So fighting in the chaotic realm usually does not need to clean the battlefield-everything will dissipate before the second unit arrives.
If there is a fight outside the outpost, it is impossible to stay bloody.
This is actually not only Hao Ren can think of, Vero nica is probably also thinkable, but Her Royal Highness may not be willing to think so: she would rather believe that a fierce battle took place outside the outpost, rather than believe that a kingdom ’s outpost was just fallen Too.
But Hao Ren ’s warning still worked. Vero nica ordered everyone to be more vigilant and reorganized. The old knight Morian opened the way. This small team slowly moved closer to the fire station in the deep forest. past.
After crossing the ancient trees and bushes, the whole picture of the Firehouse Outpost is presented in front of everyone. This outpost is just a small stronghold-it has a circle of walls surrounded by stones and rough wood, The fence has no protective effect against the monsters in chaos. It is mainly used to block the occasional corrupted monsters, so it is not very tall. Some weak runes can be seen on the fence. Those runes look There is no operation on it, and three tall wooden whistle towers can be seen in the surrounding wall. Standing on the whistle tower should be able to monitor the movement of all corners around. In addition, there are only a few two-storey wooden buildings in the outpost, which should be facilities such as barracks and warehouses.
A not-so-bright beam of light shot from the center of the outpost to the sky. That is the light emitted by the fire. It is located at the core of the outpost. It is where all the facilities can stand in the chaos-the kingdom spends a lot of money to maintain In fact, more than 80% of these outposts are used to maintain the miniaturized fire equipment inside. In this place far from order, the furnace fire device needs to rely on precious magic fuel and blessed holy things to continue burning, which is not easy to obtain.
As soon as she saw the outpost, Vero nica's heart sank, and she knew that Hao Ren was right: the outpost had already happened.
Because there is no light inside, except for the light beam of the fire and some of the rune lights on the permanent fortifications, all the lights in the outpost have been extinguished, and even the light of the order of the fire is particularly dim: small The fire device needs manual maintenance to light up. The dim light means that no one has added "fuel" to the fire for at least several days.
A slight **** air drifted into the nostrils, this time even Vero nica was already aware of it.
The knight princess pulled out her long sword and covered up the light on the blade with magic. She ordered the flag soldiers to stay in place and then slowly moved forward.
Hao Ren watched the other party carefully approaching the gate of the outpost. He clenched the long gun in his hand, ready to assist at any time.
Soon Vero nica made a gesture from a distance, this gesture represents safety in front, without the atmosphere of chaos.
"The door is closed," Hao Ren pushed the heavy door wrapped in copper at the sentry post after he walked over. "There is no sign of being broken."
Vero nica nodded: "The gate is held from the inside, which shows that the commander of the outpost before the accident ordered the entrance and exit blocked, maybe the people inside noticed what."
"But after all, something went wrong," Hao Ren pressed his hand against the non-moving door. "Can I use some force to open the door?"
Vero nica didn't respond at once: "... Ah? broke the door but it's no problem, but we have to get a broken door first ..."
"Boom-"
After a loud burst, the metal-clad door was directly unloaded under the brute force of Hao Ren, and the entire door frame was pulled off directly with the surrounding wall within two meters, and was thrown by Hao Ren. Go to the forest in the distance.
Vero nica and the knights were dumbfounded: the goddess is on! Is this special meow still human? ! What did the ancients grow up eating?
But Hao Ren didn't have time to care about the eyes of her princess, who could not see the life, because he couldn't help but stunned after seeing the situation in the post:
All the soldiers in the outpost were here. They were killed in the open space between the barracks and the outpost. The dark blood solidified had stained the whole land, and the thick blood was breathing, but the outpost was not visible. To any trace of fighting.
The soldiers seem to have been killed without resistance.
Vero nica also noticed the situation inside, and the princess's face was slightly pale. She walked into the outpost with Hao Ren and stooped to turn over the body of a fellow soldier while passing by a kingdom soldier. When the young man wearing a military uniform was turned over, Hao Ren saw his chest in disarray. The scalp is numb: the flesh and blood on the young man's chest is almost scratched, the muscles are blooming, and the expression on his face is distorted to the level of scary, it seems that he was unimaginably scared before his death.
Vero nica raised the soldier ’s hand, which was covered with blood: "He caught himself like this."
Morian squatted down beside him, and the old knight's face was full of dignity: "Looking at this expression, it's like being scared to death."
“And most of these soldiers do n’t wear armor,” Vero nica looked up, and more corpses were spread out in front of her eyes. Those corpses were basically the same dead, and more than half of them did not have armor: the first line of the Taros Kingdom Legion The uniformed equipment of the soldiers is easy to put on and take off, and has an enchanted half body armor with balanced offense and defense. It is only worn when preparing for battle or on duty. Usually, they wear cloth uniforms. "Many people seem to be working When I rested in the barracks, I suddenly ran out. You see, even some people did n’t wear shoes. "
"They ran out of the barracks, and then they were scared to death outside, and they scratched their chests before death," Hao Ren said, shaking his head slightly, "too weird."
At this time, a knight who was exploring the road suddenly shouted, "His Royal Highness! We found the commander of the outpost!"
The commander of the outpost also died, but his way of dying is different from ordinary soldiers.
The commander died in the open space in front of the small fire device. It seems that he wants to protect this place before he dies. He is wearing a full set of armor, but he ca n’t see any scars on the armor. The long sword of the lost commander system, you can see countless crisscross sword marks on the land around you-it seems that this officer had a deadly fight with an invisible enemy before his death.
The commander ’s cause of death was also suicide: he wiped his neck with a broken sword in his hand.
Vero nica carefully inspected the body of the subordinate officer and confirmed that the other party committed suicide in a frenzy, and soon she found something else on the ground next to the other body.
"There is a word here!" Her Royal Highness cried.
It was a few lines of last words written in blood. It seems that the commander suddenly recovered a moment of clarity before he died, struggling to write. The line of letters is crooked, but it does not affect reading:
"There is something in the dream, it ran out of our hearts ..." (to be continued.)
