"Speed up the pace in front, and keep up with the attention in the back!"
"Take good care of your children. If you can't keep up, let your parents transport them."
"Don't panic, we are far away from those undead creatures. Pay attention to order."
The only 20 soldiers left in the claw tribe maintain the order of the team. After all, it is a team of hundreds of people. If it is chaotic, it is difficult to reorganize.
These lizards have just escaped the attack of the undead army and are far away from the land where they have lived for generations.
Despite the loss of most materials, at least people are still alive.
They can escape. In addition to the five minutes given by the other party at the beginning, the most important thing is that the old clan leader seemingly unintentionally launched a counter charge against the undead forces.
Even if the number is huge, it will take time for undead creatures to be obedient and surround the claw tribe. Moreover, most undead creatures don't move fast.
The counter charge launched by the old clan leader, like a baffle, forced the advancing undead troops to detour, although detour would not waste much time, only about ten seconds.
These ten seconds are the key to the escape of the lizard people. Otherwise, they will be surrounded by skeletons because of their slow action.
Because of the extra ten seconds, the lizard people who escaped from the tribe did not encounter decent resistance. They did not encounter any danger on the road except some scattered undead creatures when breaking through the siege.
Anyway, it's a team of hundreds of people. Even if the old, young, sick and disabled are removed, not counting the 20 full-time soldiers, small skeletons can't pose a threat to them just by relying on adult lizards holding sticks and other rough weapons. After all, ordinary skeletons are so weak that even human farmers can beat two without pressure.
But once the undead forms a large army, it is the existence that even the dragon has to bypass.
This is why the lizard man has trotted forward for more than half an hour and still hasn't stopped.
The other side is an undead creature without the concept of ignorance and physical strength. The farther it must run, the better.
And now the biggest question is where to go.
Or where is safe?
Generally speaking, the lizard people in distress will go to the nearest tribe for help. If the other party can't provide more help, leave some people who can be accepted by the tribe and continue to move towards the next tribe until all the victims are settled.
But this is the corresponding method in case of natural disasters, which is not very effective in the face of the army of undead creatures. Who knows if the mage who controls the undead will destroy the claw tribe and continue to name all the lizard tribes in the dead swamp one by one.
Want to get out of the fugitive swamp?
This is also quite undesirable.
Not to mention that lizard people who have lived in the swamp all their life know little about where the outside world is suitable for survival. The reputation of lizard people alone makes it difficult for them to move in the outside world. Mortal races are wary of lizard people and even exclude them. It's mainly because these guys run out to burn, kill and loot when they encounter a shortage of resources. It's strange that their reputation can get better.
Soldiers who occasionally go to the edge of the dead swamp to investigate are more aware that there are a large number of human troops outside the dead swamp. These troops are to prevent lizards and monsters in the swamp from running out.
If one or two people are OK, they can always find a space to drill out, but there are hundreds of people in the team. As long as human beings are not blind, they can't find them.
The fate of the claw tribe is in the hands of the patriarch, which is not only the right but also the responsibility of a man.
And the new patriarch of the claw tribe
"Patriarch, where should we go now?"
"Asshole!"
The title of patriarch seemed to touch a nerve of Kulan. He bared his teeth and roared:
"I'm not the patriarch yet! The patriarch is the old man, and he will come to meet with other soldiers soon! The old man won't lose to those bones!"
Of course, his loud roar attracted the attention of the people. Kulan was stunned when he looked at the expectation of the people.
What the hell did I say!
The old man has entrusted his people to me, but I play my temper like a child!
Shame!
I'm smearing the old man's face!
Kulan squeezed his fist as if he had punched his face with all his strength. His teeth loosened and blood seeped from the corners of his mouth.
"I'm much more awake now."
He looked at the tired people and calculated the distance in his heart.
"Tell everyone to rest in place, let the soldiers patrol nearby, and then send two people to investigate along our way to see if those bone shelves can catch up."
"Yes!"
The order was passed on in an orderly manner, and the lizard team that had trotted forward rested in place.
Even the physical quality of lizard people is very dangerous to continue running. You know, there are many threats in the swamp, and undead creatures are only one of them.
In order to preserve physical strength, people must be given time to rest.
This time was bought by the old clan leader and the soldiers who stayed in the tribe. Kulan had to compromise even if he wanted the people to continue.
At the command of resting in place, the team of fleeing lizards stopped orderly.
The lizard people in their prime are OK. At least they have spare power to cooperate with the soldiers to guard around. The old man and children can't walk at all.
"I'll see if there is a clean water source nearby. You stay here to protect everyone."
Because of the emergency, lizard people fled with the only necessary supplies, not water. However, there are not many water sources in the swamp for lizard people to drink, so instead of carrying water, it's better to use the load to bring more food.
After giving orders to the soldiers, Kuran went into the bushes on the left side of the team.
If it were the old man, what would he do?
Looking for water, Kulan couldn't help thinking so.
There are only 20 soldiers. If they encounter any danger, it will be difficult to deal with it. In particular, the changes in the depths of the swamp lead to the actions of insect Warcraft becoming more and more aggressive. If they encounter a swarm of insects, they may be more or less unlucky.
The longer you operate in the field, the more likely you are to encounter danger.
In other words, it is not feasible to walk long distances to relatively safe areas on the edge of the swamp, and you may be killed on the road.
Besides, there is a more realistic problem.
Food.
Originally, the lizard people prepared a lot of food to deal with the threat of the insect king. As long as the insect group shows signs of forming a scale, they will take all materials for transfer at the first time and save some use. The food is enough for the tribe to survive this difficult period.
However, due to the attack of the undead army, they simply don't have enough time to bring all the supplies. Now the supplies they carry are only enough for the group to eat for two or three days, and they won't save more than a week.
This is a very dangerous number, because in such a short time, they must find a safe and sufficient food place to return to normal life.
——This is an impossible task.
Once again, lizard migration is by no means a move in which one or two people pick up their bags and leave. Each step must be carefully calculated and prepared to ensure the life of each ethnic group.
We can only go to the keel tribe for help.
The keel tribe is the closest lizard tribe to the claw tribe. With the unity habit of lizards, they will certainly provide some help.
But you can't expect too much.
The keel tribe is weaker than the claw tribe. The total number of people of the whole tribe is no more than 300. It can be imagined how much help they can provide.
But reality left Kuran with no choice.
Long distance travel will greatly increase the possibility of encountering danger. Going to the keel tribe won't get any help. At most, it's just running with the people of the keel tribe. You should know that the terrible undead army is catching up behind you.
"Damn it!"
Kuran punched the trunk around him and tore the bark open.
He is far from ready to be a patriarch. He is not qualified either in mentality or brain.
There are only two ways left for him, either forcing himself to mature quickly and become a qualified patriarch under the stimulation of the harsh environment, or taking the whole family to death.
There is no third choice!
The worse the environment, the more fierce the competition for survival. It is obvious that swamp is not a suitable place for survival.
Food shortages, disease, monster attacks, bad weather, all of which can destroy a lizard tribe in an instant.
They are relying on this cruel law of survival of the fittest to come to this day step by step. If the claw tribe can not survive this disaster, it is also the choice of nature.
The reality is so cruel that there is no mercy at all.
"In short, first go to the keel tribe to find a place for the people, and then discuss countermeasures..."
Kuran remembers that the leader of keel tribe is one of the leaders of lizard tribes in the dead swamp.
When the lizard man was martial, worshipped the strong and was desperate, Kulan thought of going to him for consultation at the first time.
Pick up the vines in front and a small pond appears in front of you.
The edge of the pond was covered with moss and greasy.
Kulan approached carefully, scooped a little water with his wide palm and put it into his mouth.
It's running water. It's drinkable.
For many mortal races, this pond is far from the standard for drinking, but the intestines and stomachs of lizard people are quite strong. For them, the water full of duckweed is the standard for direct drinking.
Just about to turn around and call someone to fetch water, Kulan suddenly heard a continuous sound of water, as if something had come out of the water.
He quickly pulled out two machetes around his waist. The next moment, he saw a huge Python drilling out of the pond, and the water spray from Peng hit him in the face.
Anaconda!
As soon as he thought about it, he felt a great force hit his double knives, and the two machetes fell not far away and rolled on the mossy rock.
No!
Forest beetles are the most terrible forest hunters, and in the swamp, they are even more powerful. It can not only ambush creatures that can fetch water underwater, but also walk under the soft soil like swimming in the water and launch a surprise attack on any enemy close to it.
The most difficult thing is that it is extremely powerful, and the scales covered all over make it difficult to catch.
Kuran's attempt to hold Mori with his hand failed. Instead, he was pulled to the ground by his tail.
——Scare!
Although the lizard man's size is a little big for him, he still plans to swallow Kulan alive.
At this critical moment, Kulan heard a low cry from behind the forest.
"Power up!"
A circle of bright red hot light drew a perfect arc, and the upper half of Mori's body was cut off by the arc.
Kulan, who narrowly escaped death, looked at the arc. It was clearly a double-edged axe with blazing heat on the edge, and the one holding the axe was a lizard man with scars and gray black scales
