Chapter 26: under the cold moon
Chapter 26: under the cold moon
The night wind is bleak, and the insects are chirping.
Lei Xiao stood motionless on a sturdy tree trunk, with one hand supporting the trunk of the tree and the other on the lunar blade at his waist.
Next to him, stood a giant tiger stick, and saw that the other party was protecting Lei Xiao with his body, and a faint invisible energy was attached to his body, which completely concealed the aura of the two of them.
As for Nanxing and Nanyue, they were lurking on other surrounding trees, responsible for perimeter vigilance, silently removing possible threats around them at any time, and ensuring Lei Xiao's safety.
"Lord Lord, they are coming."
Not long after, the low voice of the knotweed rang in Lei Xiao's ears.
The next second, Lei Xiao noticed that the leaves and branches in front of him suddenly trembled slightly.
Undoubtedly, this is the result of the earth's shaking.
dong dong dong...
After more than ten seconds, the sound of heavy footsteps, from far to near, first entered Lei Xiao's ears.
This feeling is like a subwoofer turned on to the extreme, shocking.
Before Lei Xiao could recover from the shock, dense figures began to appear on a beast road that was naturally formed due to the long-term trampling of beasts and beasts in the distance.
Noticing this, Lei Xiao, who was condescending, immediately calmed down, leaned forward slightly, and narrowed his eyes.
Due to the night vision function of [Blessing of the Southern Cross], coupled with Lei Xiao's already good eyesight, as the opponent advanced, he quickly had a panoramic view of this army.
Immediately, the sound of the collision of metal armor and the sound of heavy footsteps rang out.
The first to appear were rows of neatly paced heavy infantry.
These are the most burly soldiers, wearing heavy black armor and fully enclosed black helmets, holding a large shield in one hand and a short knife in the other.
The broad blade of the blade, under the cold moon, reflected an icy bright light, which stabbed people's eyes for a while.
Behind the heavy infantry were light-armored infantry with spears in their hands.
I saw a pure metal spear, under the illumination of the moonlight, projected on the ground, and the body complemented each other. The light and shadow were dazzling.
Further back, there are archers who are also wearing light armor.
Although this part of the soldiers was protected in the middle of the team.
But the incomparably sharp arrows in his quiver did not make anyone doubt that they were the most terrifying forces in the entire team.
All in all, this army is like a deadly giant python that comes out of a hole at night. It is silent, but it exudes a huge sense of oppression, as if it can instantly crush and block everything in front of it.
"Is this the real army from another world... It's so exciting."
Seeing this, Lei Xiao had goosebumps all over his body.
Looking down at such a shocking killing scene, while a chill involuntarily rose in his heart, Lei Xiao felt more, an uncontrollable excitement.
"I wonder when I'll be able to command an army of this size?"
At this moment, in his mind, Caesar's classic famous words could not help but emerge.
This kind of man's romance made Lei Xiao look forward to the future of himself and his territory.
"Lord Lord, the commander of this unit is about to appear."
Just when Lei Xiao thought of this, the knotweed beside him whispered again.
At first, he nodded to the knotweed, Lei Xiao regained his spirits slightly, narrowed his eyes, and continued to observe.
To be able to command such an elite division, presumably this commander is not an ordinary person.
Sure enough, behind the archers, another more powerful phalanx appeared.
There were about fifty or sixty soldiers in this group, all dressed in special brown heavy armor, surrounded by a black-robed man with a hood on a horse.
"Lord Lord, according to the subordinates' speculation, the man in black robe is the commander of this unit, and now it can be confirmed that he is a third-tier magic powerhouse.
And those soldiers in brown armor are the commander's personal guard, all of them are second-tier.
As for the total number of this army, it is 2,500 people. "
Immediately afterwards, the knotweed spoke in a low voice.
"Understood, let's see what the other party wants to do so far in the middle of the night."
While nodding slightly, Lei Xiao's gaze fell on the man in black robe, looking up and down.
In this way, after the commander's phalanx of the central army passed by, the rear army was still a mixed formation composed of archers, pikemen and heavy infantry.
Next, after a further distance, this imposing team finally stopped beside a large clearing in the middle of the forest.
This position is just a few tens of meters below Lei Xiao, so our side can clearly observe each other's every move.
Above the clearing in the forest, under the command of the man in black robe, the army quickly began to change its formation.
Still in the order of heavy infantry, spearmen, and archers, they surrounded the empty space, and began to slowly shrink inward, as if something invisible was trapped in the middle.
"What are they going to do? Do they really want to open the barrier?"
Seeing this, Lei Xiao couldn't help but show a more curious ~ Through the previous chat with the subordinates, Lei Xiao clearly understood that the enchantment area of this different world is, to put it bluntly, an independent special space , which is unique.
Only high-level magic powerhouses have the ability to open up such a magical area.
In normal times, the entrance and exit of the space will be hidden, and ordinary people will not be able to detect it.
But there is no doubt that it may also be forcibly opened and intruded by a strong man who is also a magician.
On the other side, after shrinking for a while, the huge team stopped again.
At the same time, the man in black robe, who had dismounted from his horse, came to the center of the open space surrounded by layers of guards.
Immediately afterwards, the commander took off his black hood and raised a wooden staff with a strange brilliance in his hand.
At this time, Lei Xiao, who was only a few dozen meters away from the commander in a straight line, discovered that the other party was not a human at all, but a rough-faced orc!
"Lord Lord, it seems that the commander is a third-order half-orc shaman." Seeing this scene, the knotweed on the side whispered.
"So, this is not a human army?" Hearing this, Lei Xiao suddenly showed a look of surprise.
Since all the soldiers in this army are wearing closed helmets, this is undoubtedly a big surprise to him.
"Back to the Lord, that's exactly what happened."
Huzhang nodded and said softly, "The aura emanating from this army is obviously stronger than that of the human army of the same class, so this is to be expected."
"My dear, after a long time of trouble, I, the lord, were kept in the dark."
Shaking his head helplessly, Lei Xiao pouted and continued to observe.
