Chapter 124 Wolves

The northern forests of Sarling, with high mountains and dense snow peaks everywhere, the Banshee Mountains of the Kingdom of Bemon reached their end here.

From the large map, the north of the Salter is connected to the western border province of the Kingdom, and the Iron Fort area to the east. However, due to the existence of the dark place, this area has become a forbidden area that even mercenaries dare not set foot.

One morning in midsummer, a team of 100 people entered this dangerous place.

It just rained, and the forest was particularly humid and stuffy, and there were a large number of mosquitoes, flies and insects lurking in the dense grass. When people walked over, countless flying insects danced around and made people frown.

From time to time, birds and beasts who were alarmed fled in a hurry, and the roar of unknown beasts came faintly from the depths of the woods. In this uninhabited area, danger is everywhere.

Leon stopped, expanded the map and made several marks - this area was still blank on the map of Thalling.

This time, his exploration of the northern part of the territory was not just to survey the terrain and improve the map, but to find a way to the Western Xinjiang province or the Ironforge area to break the trade barriers of the Colinworth Territory.

Although the road through Colinworth is currently under construction and has certain trade deals with the merchant groups affiliated to the Mercenary Union, the transaction amount and profit cannot satisfy Leon at all.

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

However, the existence of the dark place is a huge trouble, and the underground black elves and underground monsters are undoubtedly huge threats.

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

The black elf Anlan leaned over and pulled a blade of grass from the ground, leaned over to his nose and sniffed: "I can smell the breath of dark energy."

Her ancestors originally came from the underground. Although her talented blood power was declining, her sense of dark aura was still much more sensitive than that of ordinary people.

The demonized land is a dark place that is eroded by the dark forces underground. Although this area is not the core area of ​​the dark place, it is not low in the degree of demonization and is slowly expanding.

Looking into the distance, the forests are dark and deep, from green to dark green little by little - this is the most obvious feature of entering the dark place.

Leon knew that the Iron Fort area was crossing the Banshee Mountains from here to the east, but compared with the Iron Fort, which has a developed smelting and forging industry, he hoped to open up a road to the Western Xinjiang province.

That is the biggest way out and market for Thalling.

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

"yes!"

One hundred fully armed soldiers agreed in unison, shouting as if thunderous.

This time, when exploring the Northern Territory, considering the dangers, Leon brought all the guards with him.

These soldiers are basically bears. They have followed Leon for the longest time and are the most loyal to Leon. They have been brave and fearless and have endured the test of many battles.

Each Guard warrior was armed with teeth, armor made of metal and animal skins, battle axes, shuttle guns, hand axes and crossbow daggers made of fine iron, which absolutely reached the level of the Kingdom Legion in equipment.

In addition to these hundred warriors, there is also a team of ten scouts led by Concordia, Anlan and Qiangwei, plus the mages Akran and Shaman Luoya, which can be regarded as the most elite force of the Thrall leader.

Luo Ya became a real shaman in half a month. She was also the third shaman under Thrall. The seven magical auras she mastered were enough to provide strong support to the team.

Go forward, go forward! The soldiers gradually move towards the depths of the dark place.

The forest became increasingly dense, and the canopy that covered the sky blocked most of the light. Although it was clear during the day, the forest was dark and gloomy.

The blue-black vines spread wildly, and various strange-shaped ferns were over their knees. The woodland covered with layers of fallen leaves was soft and slippery when it stepped on, and the air was filled with a rotten atmosphere.

Leon and Concordia walked in the front, and the Wolf Knight seemed a little uneasy, as if thinking about something.

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

The Wolf Knight hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, why do we have to enter the dark place? If we are to open up a business road to the Western Xinjiang province, we can find a road 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 rather be farther away from danger than the better. He would come to him on his own initiative. You should know that even the kingdom's army did not easily break into the dark place in groups.

"I know..." Leon smiled and said, "But you should also be clear that the dark land will continue to expand. If we allow it to grow, it will sooner or later cause great trouble to our territory."

"So this time I not only want to open up business roads, but also to sweep the dark creatures in this area, and find out the underground outlet as much as possible, and seal the source of the dark power!"

What Leon wants to do and wants to do is exactly what the Iron Fort Garrison is doing - constantly eliminating active monsters and black elves and preventing the expansion of the dark land.

"I understand!" The wolf knight nodded. He was only looking in front of him, while Leon's eyes were focused on the future of Thrall.

The dark land in Thal's lord is not large in size or the most dangerous core area, so it is necessary to restrict or destroy it while it has not yet become a major disaster.

Aww! ~

While Leon was talking to Concordia, a shrill howl of wolf suddenly came from the black forest ahead.

The two of them changed their expressions, and the Wolf Knight immediately pulled out his battle axe, and the team stopped moving forward.

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

The leopard girl's expression was a little ugly: "I found a demon wolf pack ahead, surrounding us, with a large number!"

In order to ensure safety, the scout team was not far away from the main team, so they found that the Demon Wolf must be very close.

"Good come!" Leon shouted in a deep voice: "Prepare for the battle!"

The guards immediately dispersed the reorganized formation.

Fifty soldiers took off their large shields from their backs to form a circular defense line, while the other fifty soldiers stood behind them with crossbows in hand, protecting the mage, priest and the returned scouts in the middle.

During the whole process, no command was needed, and no one was making noise. The guards stood at their own position as soon as possible, and were well-trained and calm.

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

Aowoo! Aowoo!

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

The dark wolf is a very terrifying existence in the dark place. They do not come from the underground world, but are the product of the wolf pack in the ground forest being eroded by dark forces for a long time and being demonized.

The demonized demon wolf has the power of a monster and is even more brutal. They are famous for their numerous and fearless attack spirit. Once they find that a large number of outsiders have entered their territory, they will inevitably launch an endless attack.

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

The howlings of wolves coming from all over the world are getting louder and louder, increasing dense green light spots, which invisibly put huge pressure on the encirclement. If the mind is not firm enough, the wolf pack will collapse before it launches an attack.

However, such psychological tactics have no effect on the thunder beast guards who have experienced the iron-blooded test. They have nerves and wills that are tougher than steel.

"They are waiting for the command of the leader wolf..." Concordia's expression was a little solemn.

As a member of the wolf family, he has a relatively good understanding of the wolf family's habits, and at least hundreds of demon wolves gathered around him.

The Dark Land welcomes the intruders in its own way!

"Hmph!" Leon snorted coldly, waved his hand and ordered: "Let them taste some of the awesomeness first!"

Fifty soldiers holding crossbow bows pulled the trigger together, and amid the trembling sound of the crossbow strings, all the crossbow arrows on the strings flew out!

Those black demon wolves probably had never encountered a regular army. They thought that dozens of steps were a safe enough distance, and they never expected that the effective killing distance of the crossbows in the hands of the Thunder Beast Guards exceeded 100 steps.

The nearest demon wolves were the first to be hit and fell down one after another. The extremely sharp metal arrows easily penetrated the tough wolf skin, pierced the flesh and blood and cut the internal organs, either dead or injured!

The terrifying howls came one after another, and the unprepared wolf pack was a little at a loss. The demon wolf behind him instinctively retreated back.

The crossbow in the Thunder Beast Guard was not purchased from outside, but was made by the craftsmen under Rubin.

Salling has all the materials for making powerful crossbows, wood, metal, and animal tendons... Through the clever handwork of these craftsmen, they have become sharp killing weapons!

Leon paid great attention to the long-range strike capabilities of his soldiers. He slowed down the construction speed of Saar City and mobilized personnel to cooperate in making crossbows, so that within two months, one-third of the soldiers in the Thunder Beast Battle Camp had crossbows.

The Thunder Beast Guard is even more of a handful of everyone, and crossbow shooting is also one of the daily training events, so dealing with those unprepared demon wolves is simply a target to fight.

Ao! Ao! Ao! Ao!

An extremely loud and high howl suddenly overwhelmed all the sounds. The retreating demon wolves suddenly shook, and they all raised their tails and grinned their teeth, revealing their fierceness!

"It's the wolf!" Concordia suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction where the sound came, and a fanatical look appeared in the wolf's eyes: "Let's kill it!"

Leon pulled him away: "Don't worry, let them suffer a little first!"
