Chapter 182 Chaos Soldiers
"Our operation has two main purposes, one is to inquire about the news of Yasha's Tears, and the other is to investigate the newcomers... Now the Unicorn Empire is fighting the Griffon Principality, and Schrozko is the large rear supply point on the front line of the Unicorn Empire, so if you want to find something valuable, you must go there."
While walking, Yue Yulou introduced the purpose of this trip to the people around him. However, Kakashi seemed to not believe him very much. After suddenly closing the pocket book with the "Eighteen Forbiddens" in his hand, he immediately looked at him with a very obscene look, shook his head, and said loudly:
"Well... it seems you have forgotten another target, right? That beautiful Alto..."
"Oh? Our Mr. Kakashi, what exactly do you want to say..."
Before Kakashi finished speaking, Yue Yulou flashed in front of him, then smiled extremely "warmly" and gently placed his right hand on his shoulder...
"Oh... Isn't it okay if I was wrong? This is level 5 magic equipment! Leader, I was wrong... I won't say it..."
Not long after Yue Yulou put his right hand on Kakashi's shoulder, a burst of blue smoke began to slowly emerge from Kakashi's shoulder. At the same time, he also received a system prompt that "the equipment is eroding and will turn into ashes in one minute." Kakashi, who knew that he was stepping on a landmine, immediately took a few steps back and let his shoulders leave Yue Yulou's palm.
"Hmph...Don't always think about my problem with your head full of crystal worms."
After saying Kakashi a few words, Yue Yulou slowly turned around and continued to walk forward. In fact, he knew in his heart that Kakashi was telling the truth. A large part of the reason why he went to Shirozko in person was that person... To be honest, Yue Yulou didn't know what kind of feelings he had for that person now. Although he had been telling himself in his heart that she was not Esmelaya, and he was no longer the former Sasus, but he had been unable to truly forget. However... he was still unable to be sure whether he was Sasus or Yue Yulou, and he really didn't want to hurt the girls who had always cared about him because of the chaos of his memory, and he didn't want to treat her as a substitute for his feelings...
"Oh... a life winner who is as handsome as you and has always been beautiful women around you. Of course, he won't understand the sorrow of us bachelors..."
Kakashi hugged his chest, shook his head with a sigh, and then opened the book in his hand that only adult players could buy, and continued his "dream hunting" journey, and the team continued to move in the original direction. Although Yue Yulou could fly, in order to take care of those in the team who could not fly, he could only continue to erode the earth...
After walking for more than ten minutes, the team came to a wide gravel road. Everyone then took out the map and found out that they had been walking along this road. They could reach Schrozko in about two hours. So this gravel road that endured the wind and rain finally ushered in its own doomsday. After the team passed, the road that was originally beautiful immediately turned into a charred "road to ashes", like a road to hell...
Suddenly, just after the team advanced along the road for half an hour, Yue Yulou suddenly raised his hand and made a stop gesture. Then he sensed some of the front and found that some abnormal sound and relatively disordered elemental flow were coming. He then waved to a dwarf behind him who was wearing brown leather armor and seemed to be quite young, while the dwarf was carrying a rod wrapped in oil cloth, which was taller than himself, something similar to a wooden stick...
"Hmm? There seems to be something unusual in front of you, Vasily, see what's going on ahead."
"Yes, leader."
After hearing Yue Yulou's call, the dwarf quickly walked forward and took out something similar to a telescope from his pocket. Then he used the telescope in his hand to clearly see what happened about a thousand meters ahead... It turned out that on the road ahead, a team of players was fighting fiercely with a group of people in military uniforms, but the party wearing military uniforms seemed to have a very good strength and had always suppressed the players. Therefore, without the interference of external forces, the player's failure was certain.
"Player...soldiers... are those soldiers active troops of the Unicorn Empire?"
"Looking at their appearance, they don't seem to be like regular troops, but rather like...the defeated soldiers who escaped from the battlefield."
After hearing the words of the dwarf sniper introduced by Douglas, Yue Yulou immediately thought for a while. When he thought that he had to ask players now to understand the situation of "the sun rises and does not fall", he immediately decided to help those players, at least to understand the progress of the war...
"Vasily, use your rune gun to get rid of those chaotic troops."
"Affect the order."
The dwarf nodded, immediately took off the thing behind him, and quickly untied the oil cloth. Soon... a weapon similar to a sniper rifle but was carved with various runes appeared in front of everyone. Then, the dwarf slowly raised the gun and leaned his head behind the scope. At the same time, some runes on the gun began to slowly shine...
But one thousand meters ahead of Yue Yulou and others, the battle began to enter a white-hot stage and began to become increasingly unfavorable to players...
"Haha, even with your strength, you dare to encircle us!"
A soldier wearing the captain's armband wielded the long sword in front of a swordsman player and a warrior player. Although he fought against two, the captain-level soldier seemed to have completely gained the upper hand.
"Egg Yolk, my health has bottomed out, I guess I can't hold on!"
The swordsman suddenly raised the long sword in his hand to block the captain-level soldier's knife, and immediately shouted loudly at the warrior beside him. Seeing this, the warrior immediately raised the axe in his hand and slashed at the soldier's arm, as if he wanted to take the opportunity to severely damage the captain-level small leader...
"Slay horizontally!"
The captain immediately activated his only combat skill. The long sword in his hand suddenly drew a fan in front of him like lightning, sweeping the warrior away directly, and stretching out a kick to kick the swordsman heavily to the ground...
"Go to die!"
Looking at the swordsman on the ground, the captain of the soldier grinned and raised his long sword. But just as he was about to cut off the enemy in front of him, a sudden change occurred...
Puff...
A muffled sound like a watermelon burst out suddenly sounded, and then the swordsman who closed his eyes and waited to die immediately opened his eyes. The slowly falling figure of the captain of the soldier who had been lifted off his head, and the disgusting liquid mixed with brain blood on the ground. Just when he couldn't figure out what was going on, another same sound rang out again...
Puff...Puff...
Every time the sound sounded, a rioter would be beaten to his head. When the soldiers saw this scene, they were frightened to the point of being so heartless that they ran backwards, trying to get rid of this terrifying sound. Unfortunately, until the last soldier fell, no one knew how he died...
"Be careful, there seems to be other people! Pick up the equipment on the ground quickly..."
Although they didn't know who killed those soldiers, the players still knew very well that those who could kill those soldiers so easily would definitely not be able to compete with them... But just as they were worriedly picking up the equipment on the ground, several figures slowly appeared on the road not far away...
"Someone is here...be careful."
Soon, the white figure floating with ashes on Yue Yulou entered everyone's sight, but it seemed that Zagu's skill really took effect. Although the players thought that Yue Yulou's equipment was very strange, it was just strange, and there were no other comments or opinions. They seemed to have never thought about how powerful a piece of equipment would produce that special effect...
"Hello... I want to ask you some questions."
"Please...ask."
The leading swordsman looked at the team configuration behind Yue Yulou. A assassin, a mage, a strange golemn, a dwarf with a stick on his back, a weird guy with four arms and a hat, a tall orc with a lion-like hair, and an elf wearing a dark green robe and a pale face. Although they were all weird, his intuition told him that these people were not bad at all, so he nodded tactfully. However, when he saw his feet below, he screamed and retreated suddenly...
"You...who are you!"
It turned out that he found that at some point the earth under his feet had slowly turned into burning and dry black, and even the dead bodies on the ground began to dehydrate quickly and quickly turned into haggard and dark mummies. All of this spread from the feet of Yue Yulou. After seeing such a terrifying scene, those players also retreated in panic...
"I have no malice, I just want to know something."
Yue Yulou was not angry because of the fear of the players. He smiled faintly and continued to ask his own questions. The leading player's psychological quality was not bad. He quickly understood that there was a real player master standing in front of him, and his fear would only make the other party look down on him. After calming down for a while, he began to answer Yue Yulou's questions...
Soon, Yue Yulou understood the whole story. It turned out that these soldiers were really defeated soldiers who had defeated from the battlefield. After fleeing from the battlefield, these soldiers not only did not return to the army, but instead sat down to kill and rob people near the road. So the empire issued corresponding clearance missions, and these players accepted the task to eliminate the defeated soldiers. Moreover, according to the improvement of the player, the unicorn Empire is getting worse and worse now. The senior officials of the empire did not want to regain their hometowns, but continued to fight for power and profit. The lower-level officials of the empire continued to exploit the people desperately. The strength of the unicorn Empire was already very poor. When facing the Griffon Principality at its peak, they had no chance of winning. The front line was defeated almost every day.
The empire was so frustrated that the army had no morale at all, so the task of resistance would ultimately rely on players and guilds to carry out. However, after experiencing a civil strife [the sun rises and never falls], it was actually not much better. If it weren't for the natural barriers as a support and some wise commanders, the unicorn Empire would have probably been destroyed long ago, but even so, the defense line still remained in a shaky state at any time...
"Is the situation so bad..."
