The Daru people are in a terrible situation now.
The battle that cursed the valley hundreds of years ago killed all the archdruids, and the race also lost the ability to communicate with the gods. Without the blessing of the gods, the inheritance was broken, and there was no high-end combat power among them.
To make matters worse, mankind has abandoned the former covenant, and the greedy slave merchants began to go deep into the silent forest to capture slaves. This also caused the Daru population to plummet and gradually moved to the brink of extinction.
Now there are only two Tier 5s in the Emerald Sacred Land, and the high-end combat power alone can't even compare to some large-scale slave hunting groups. There is no right to fight at all.
Therefore, even if a certain tribe in the forest is in danger, the elders in the Emerald Holy Land dare not rescue.
It can be saved once, but it cannot be saved the next time.
If these old people like them were killed in the battle, the Daru tribe would completely lose hope.
Therefore, for the continuation of the ethnic group, they can only choose to hide and hide everywhere in the silent forest.
This is why the news of the attack on the "grey wolf tribe" came, and Patriarch Deer did not spread the news in the Holy Land.
Such bad news has been heard a lot over the years.
This group of young druids still has blood in their hearts, but they are the hope of the Daru tribe in the future.
The old people will not let them take risks.
However, the news came out.
There are a few apprentice druids in the Holy Land who come from the Gray Wolf tribe. Naturally, they will not watch the tribe being annihilated and the tribesmen taken away as a slave trade. It just so happened that Aku’s good friend Wumeng was one of them. After a few **** young boys got together, they sneaked out of the Holy Land quietly, planning to go to rescue.
Whatever can be saved, count as much.
Druids have a stronger combat power than ordinary people, and only they have the opportunity to rescue some of the main people.
......
In the forest, Suren rode on the white wolf transformed by Uta, and quickly walked through the forest. .
He had originally planned to go to the north to take a look, but now he just happened to stop by.
He also received a lot of detailed information from the exchanges with the head of the deer before, and roughly assessed the rank of the [Mind Demon]. It should not be too high. It is estimated that it should be a Tier 3 or Tier 4 "lord." Still in the operable range.
Originally, Uta had planned to sneak him there before. But Patriarch Deer and the others figured out why Su Lun was going to go, and guessed his strength, and expressed their understanding and support. He even plans to send a team of elites to accompany him.
But Suren refused.
His current situation is very special.
He is a puppeteer, and a team of people is no different from him alone.
It's useless if there are too many people when you encounter enemies you can't beat.
When encountering those who can play, those few people are not bad.
It is enough to be accompanied by Yuta who is familiar with the forest.
The two cooperated, even if they encountered a Tier 5 enemy, they would protect themselves in the forest.
"The gray wolf tribe is on the shore of Lodasier Lake, and the journey to the north for more than a day is to curse the valley. The old people in the clan said that the last time they met [Heart Slayer] was that there was a'skeleton' not far from the valley. In the cave's place, the monster is hiding in the crypt."
"Yeah. Let's go to the Gray Wolf tribe first. The boys from Aku should be there."
"..."
Uta was not angry at his brother's behavior of running out of the holy place privately, but was a little worried.
Being **** is not a bad thing for Daru fighters.
.......
On the other hand, a killing match is being held on the shore of Lodasiel Lake in the northern part of the Silent Forest.
A group of imperial soldiers wearing silver armor had already breached the Gray Wolf tribe yesterday. The tribe members were put on slave collars and escorted further north.
There are also some young knights in the jungle searching for "fish that slip through the net" scattered in the jungle.
"These indigenous beasts run so fast, they are slippery in the jungle, it's really hard to catch..."
"Hahaha... Yuke, my gun shooting skills get a perfect score in the college graduation assessment, one for each spear, is it okay?"
"Bauer, I killed eight natives. You are only five. What is there to show off? I will make specimens of their shins and store them in the family's collection room. This is my feat!"
"Hey, hey, I said you don't want to show off. The instructor's trial task is to have at least five indigenous heads per person. I only killed one."
"..."
This is an elite reserve team of the Royal Knights Corps of the Luying Empire [Holy Judgment Corps].
The knights are still very young. They are reserve officers who have just graduated from the Imperial Royal Academy and entered the army.
Hunting the demihumans is a trial of blood before they officially enter the battlefield.
At the same time, there are several wooden cages filled with Daru tribesmen in the tribal stockades where corpses are everywhere.
This is a slave who has not had time to **** away, and it is also a bait.
Several middle-aged men in delicate armors were standing by, listening to the sound of fighting from time to time in the jungle, they chatted without a word.
"These guys are really lucky. There are demihumans hunted for them. I think when we graduated that year, but they were sent directly to the battlefield, how can we have such a good opportunity to open meat."
"Yes. But then again, these natives are really stupid enough to leave so few slaves here as bait, they will not run, they will always come to die."
"Instructor Sandru, the demihumans who fled just now are not weak, they should be druids. Judging from the intelligence obtained from the soul search before, there is a place in this forest called the Emerald Holy Land. It is The sacred place of the Dalu tribe. It is said that there are still two fifth-order existences. Will there be trouble for those boys chasing so far?"
"Trials will always result in casualties. Don't worry. With Roxie's secret protection, there will be no trouble. Although I like that guy too much, he is known as the "Gravedigger" and he is very capable. Even if this demihuman really has a Tier 5 professional, that guy’s abilities, it’s not necessarily going to suffer..."
"Hehe, too."
"..."
A few people listened to the movement for a while, and didn't care about the fighting in the forest anymore.
They chatted and talked about this legion mission.
"I was only here to capture some ice giants and get some [Giant Demon Muscles] for the warriors as a reproductive material. I didn't expect to find such an ancient ruin. Judging from the current unearthed artifacts, the maze was even before the Dawn Era. The existence of this. I am afraid that this secret excavation will bring great gains."
"Yes. Depending on the situation, I'm afraid there is a strong weirdness and [cursed object]. Maybe you can find some mythical treasure if you are lucky."
"Those slave traders are also true. They say that the delivery date is good, but the quantity is so bad. We have to come by ourselves. The forest is so big, it's hard work..."
"I heard that the'Sun Catcher Group' seemed to have encountered a lone adventurer in the forest a few days ago, and it lost a lot of manpower..."
"It's just an error. You would believe that a Tier 3 adventurer killed a slave hunting group with four Tier 4 professionals alone, and seven or eight hundred elite? Although the combat power of the slave hunting group is not very good, you can just change it. You and I will go, I'm afraid that it won't be possible. Seven or eight hundred people were hacked to death, all the knives were slashed, and one person was left? Ha ha..."
"..."
Several people chatted, not knowing that in the forest, Aku and his friends were already ambushing the group of trial knights.
.......
Suren's and Uta soon rushed to Lodasier Lake.
The village of the Gray Wolf tribe is right by the lake, and the area of forest is not too dense, and the field of vision is very broad.
On a big tree far apart, two figures are watching several people chatting in the stockade with single-scope telescopes.
Su Lun did not approach rashly, but watched carefully.
After a while, he put down the lens barrel, narrowed his eyes, and muttered: "It's very strong...Is this Lu Ying's Royal Elite Army?"
Even though the distance is too far to perceive the fire of the soul, Su Lun can distinguish it from the armor on their bodies. The few people in the village are definitely the elite of the elite!
And from the rank coat of arms on the armor, it can be seen that the leading middle-aged man should be a colonel-level officer.
In Lu Ying’s military establishment, this is usually a high-level position that can only be held by professionals of Tier 4 or above.
"Is that the legendary [Golden Griffin Armor]? It's a bit tricky."
Su Lun's pupils shrank slightly, thinking about something in his heart.
With his current vision, he can naturally see the quality of the armor from the runes and enchantment marks on the armor.
Although the armors on those people were different, they were at least "gold" and "dark gold"-level officer armors.
In the frontal battlefield, the Royal Knights Corps of the Luying Empire was able to fight attrition wars with Marfa's mechanical army for so many years. In addition to alchemy and cloaking, the most important thing was this "royal secret forging" rune alchemy armor.
This is the top armor that has sufficient defense power to compete with mechanical armor.
Not only is the outer armor indestructible, the inner lining can cushion the impact of ablation, but also some subtle design of the joints can ensure that the knight's movement is completely unobstructed, and its flexibility is much higher than that of the mechanical armor.
Armor also has extremely high requirements for users.
In order to pursue the ultimate defensive power, such a set of armor ranges from half a ton to several tons in weight. To fight on the battlefield for a long time, the knight needs very powerful power.
This is also in the memory of Sulun Harvest, why the knights of the [Holy Judgment Legion] are all power professionals.
"It turned out to be here to hunt down the giants in the wilderness. It seems that the Luying Empire should have found a shortcut to reach the northern edge of the ice sheet..."
Numerous thoughts flashed through Su Lun's mind for a moment.
But the good news is that he hasn't seen any existence that makes him feel like Tier 5.
Yuta on the side used the telescope for the first time and got used to it after getting familiar with it.
She keenly caught the flock of birds flying over the forest from time to time, and analyzed: "There are people fighting in the northeast of the forest, it may be Akku and the others..."
With that, she put down the binoculars, looked at Su Lun, and asked, "Mr. Su Lun, are there any tricky enemies among the enemies?"
Su Lun didn't know whether to answer tricky or not, and said bluntly: "This group of enemies will be much stronger than the slave hunting team. Although I haven't seen Tier 5 for the time being, I definitely can't go head-to-head. Only when you spread out, you have a chance."
Although he had killed several Tier 4s, he was either a pirate or a slave hunting group.
What you see now is the real Lu Ying Royal Elite Army. Regardless of the techniques, equipment, talents, reproductive equipment...all of them are one in a million.
Killing a Su Lun is still quite sure, but a few people in the stockade surrounded him, and he didn't have the slightest chance of winning.
There is only one way to retreat.
Especially the high colonel, except for Black Sickle, Su Lun didn't realize that he had any way to kill him.
When Uta heard this, he nodded seriously: "Yeah."
It makes him feel tricky, the enemy is definitely strong.
Those people obviously also noticed that the two of Su Lun were peeping in the distance, but they didn't chase them, obviously not paying attention.
They do have such arrogant qualifications.
Su Lun got some fragmented information by reading his lips, and he also knew that it seemed to be another trial of reserve officers, and the officers in the village seemed to have no intention of intervening.
This is something he can use.
Su Lun thought about it and said, "Let's go over and take a look."
......
There is a fierce battle going on in the dense forest a few kilometers northeast of Lake Rodasir.
Akuna's seven or eight young druids are not stupid, knowing that the enemy is strong, and he didn't plan to head-on.
When they came, they found that most of the tribe members of the Gray Wolf tribe had been escorted away, and there were still some members who were injured and inconvenient for transportation. They naturally knew that it was bait, but they also planned to rescue it first.
As soon as the few people combined, they planned to lure the enemy and use the environment in the jungle to scatter and kill those nasty humans.
They had heard of the "slave hunting team" battle from the people of the tribe, but this time it was indeed the Royal Elite Army of Lu Ying!
It is successful to lure the enemy, they lure people out successfully.
But... the battle is indeed extremely tragic!
Even if he took advantage of the trap set in distress to hit the enemy by surprise, he also hit one badly.
That's it.
They quickly discovered that even the attack after the transformation of the beast would cause very limited damage to the enemy's armor.
Sharp claws can easily break leather armor and even ordinary mechanical equipment, but on that rune armor, except for some scratches, it can cause no harm at all. Even if it is a spell, the rank is too low, it is also of no use to an enemy wearing a full-body armor.
Moreover, the opponent apparently had expected that they would ambush, and he didn't panic at all when he was attacked, and instead began to counterattack and encircle.
Large-caliber sniper rifles, bombs, alchemy crossbows, cursed objects... all kinds of methods are emerging in endlessly.
Regardless of long-range means or melee combat, the apprentice druids of Aku have no advantage at all, they can only use the forest to fight sideways.
Of the eight people who sneaked out of the holy ground, three died in the chase, and the remaining few were in poor conditions, more or less wounded.
"Wumeng, don't hold on, hurry up!"
"I am the one who caused everyone, Aku, you go first, I will drag them!"
"Damn it, let's go together!"
"..."
How could this group of passionate Daru teenagers abandon their companions and fight desperately one by one.
.......
Suren and Youta listened to the fighting, and when they arrived, they were watching several people being chased in embarrassment.
When they were suddenly blocked by a huge white wolf, several people were shocked.
Akku also recognized this as his sister at a glance.
"elder sister!?"
A hint of guilt flashed across his face, and the incident that he ran out was still discovered.
But now is obviously not the time to talk about this.
He burst out: "Sister, go away, those enemies are very powerful!"
Uta glanced at a few teenagers, did not move, and coldly scolded: "You go first. Go back and clean up you!"
Akku thought that his sister didn't know how powerful the enemy was, and his face was anxious: "Sister, their armor is very powerful, so you can't touch it hard."
Uta didn't have time to answer, his eyes drenched and turned into a white shadow and disappeared in place.
In a blink of an eye, with a "boom", she slapped a heavy armored knight who was chasing into the air and broke a big tree.
But the guy had armor protection on his body, and it didn't seem to affect him at all, so he immediately stood up again.
At this time, seven or eight people caught up in the forest.
With a "swish", a javelin was projected over, and Uta noticed it and avoided it in a hurry.
"elder sister!"
Naturally, Aku didn't leave first, and protected Yuta by his side.
Once he didn't leave, the other apprentice druids didn't leave either.
At the same time, on the treetop, Su Lun, who was wearing a cloak to hide his breath, was observing this dense forest.
[Standard Javelin of the Holy Judgment Legion]
Quality: Silver
Detailed explanation: Luying Royal Legion standard javelin, made of tungsten steel alloy, with wind attribute piercing special effects and acceleration special effects;
Looking at the javelin, Su Lun muttered in his heart: "It's really rich...this javelin is worth two to three thousand one."
Su Lun looked at the other people's equipment again.
Elites are indeed elites. The armors, swords, and firearms on these guys are all top military supplies that cannot be bought in the world.
The value of the full set of equipment is not an exaggeration to say that half of the city is carried on his back.
The value of the equipment on the ten-man team alone is comparable to that of the slave hunting group that Sulun had killed before.
However, they were not what Su Lun wanted to be afraid of.
The soul fires of the trainee officers below are all within the range of perception, and they are not too strong. They have both Tier 2 and Tier 3.
Without Tier 4, even if equipped, it would not be difficult for Su Lun to kill them.
But he knew that there was a high-level professional in this group who was secretly protecting.
Not sure where that guy was, and he didn't make any rash moves.
On the ground, Uta and the group were already fighting fiercely.
With her joining the battle, the battle between the two sides fell into a stalemate within a short period of time.
Heavy armor knights are not without shortcomings, and fighting consumes a lot of physical strength.
Although Uta and their attacks have limited damage to the armor, the cost is much smaller, and they are more flexible, and they are not easy to lose for a while.
Suren looked at Uta in no danger for the time being, and did not rush to make a move.
He looked at the methods displayed by the trainee officers, and his thoughts flew: "[B-036-Earth Dragon], [Talent C-071-Ape], [C-004-Divine Power]... This legion is really as legendary. In general, the recruits are mostly talented professionals of the power system, and the reproductive equipment is also purely for the power system to advance."
But when he looked around, his expression suddenly changed.
"Found it?"
Su Lun frowned.
I originally planned to observe it in the dark, but I didn't expect it to be discovered first.
He clearly felt that a subtle wave of soul fluctuations, like radar waves, passed over him.
Normal people couldn't notice this fluctuation, but his current mental power was very sensitive, and he immediately judged that it was some kind of mental power perception method.
Su Lun was a little bit puzzled. He was wearing a cloak made of mirrors, which he couldn't perceive by conventional means. This also means that the person who is lurking has a curse of perception on his body?
The opponent had already discovered himself, and it didn't make sense to hide, he immediately changed his tactics.
Without any hesitation, Su Lun unfolded a seal scroll, and the warlock pinched the seal, "Seal·Unlock!"
In the next instant, a burly fighter armor appeared out of thin air.
The armor quickly fell, and Su Lun jumped down with it.
While falling, he manipulated the silk thread to quickly assemble the mecha on the body. Just when everyone on the ground didn't react, the steam boiler on the armor erupted, and with a "chick", the figure rushed down and cut it off with a knife.
Because it was a sneak attack, the underground found it, and there was no time to evade it.
Su Lun's Ship Slayer also directly hit the knight who wanted to use his sword to block. This was the "main tank" in that team.
A sharp sound of "keng" piercing eardrum resounded through the forest.
There was only a stalemate for a moment, and the tremor technique of the ship-cutting sword slashed the human long sword into two segments, and then severely cut it on the opponent's armor. Blood was splashing everywhere, and half of the man's leg was plunged into the mud.
This knife didn't make a single break, showing that the defense of its armor was amazing.
But Su Lun would never give him a chance.
This knife opened his mouth, destroying the overall structure, and the armor's defense power was greatly reduced.
He raised his hand and slashed diagonally, and directly followed the gap, splitting the knight from his chest into two pieces, blood spurted wildly, and his eyes were full of scarlet.
.......
Su Lun killed one person instantly.
This sudden change made everyone in the ground stunned for a moment.
The few members of the knights watched the life and death of their companions, and they were even more puzzled.
They naturally recognized it at a glance, this is Marfa's fighter armor!
But how could there be people from Marfa in the Silent Forest?
Even Yuta, watching him slash to death an armored knight that he couldn't kill just now, there was a little surprise in his eyes.
The people of Aku were even more shocked.
Such a hard armor, unexpectedly slashed to death?
But in an instant, they guessed the identity of this person.
Only humans will use this kind of mechanical equipment.
And there are only two humans they know, one is Katyusha, and the other is Mr. Sulun!
Who can come to rescue them with my sister?
Su Lun yelled: "You go first!"
His mechanical armor suppressed the guys on the opposite side, and the two sides also pulled away for a while and confronted each other.
Yuta listened and nodded.
She knew Su Lun's abilities. In such a situation, would it be a burden for them to stay behind, so she gave a soft drink to Aku and the others: "Go!"
........
Now the situation has changed, and the equipment rolling has become the side of Suren.
Although Luying’s royal-style military officer’s armor is amazingly defensive, the armor on these reserve officers is far worse than the previous [College-Class Slasher Ⅸ Mechanical Armor]!
If there were no accidents, these people would not be able to kill Su Lun, but would be killed by him.
Therefore, the guy hiding in the dark will definitely not watch this situation happen.
Moreover, now that Marfa's fighter armor appears, things are more complicated.
He had to suspect that the forces of the Marfa Empire had penetrated into the northern ice sheet, and had even reached a certain kind of covenant with the demihuman race.
Therefore, the mecha warrior in front of me, as well as the druids, can't be let go!
.......
Everyone was shocked for a moment.
Su Lun didn't stop, since he showed up, he wouldn't give the enemy a chance to react.
At this moment, the steam boiler under his feet was charged with a jet, the burly mechanical body rushed away, and the second knife had already been slashed away!
Seeing that another person was about to be cut under the knife, at this moment, a ghost-like figure appeared in front of Su Lun, holding a black long stick-like weapon blade, blocking the ship-cutting knife.
Seeing that the attack was blocked, Su Lun was not surprised at all: "Is it here?"
However, after seeing the people clearly, he was a little surprised.
To be precise, it was not because of this Tier 4 professional, but because of the weapons in his hands.
That is an umbrella that is as dark as ink!
At that moment, a string of golden runes lit up on the umbrella surface, and it was hit by the ship-cutting sword. Suddenly, people heard the sound of howling ghosts and wolves.
The streamer in Su Lun's left eye flashed, and he took a look at the appraisal.
【Runeman Leather Umbrella】
Quality: Dark Gold
Description: The messenger of the underworld also needs an umbrella that can shade;
Cursing characteristics: a ghost umbrella made of human skin, a cage for souls; it can increase the perception range of the bearer's spirit system and enhance the penetration of necromantic spells; consume a lot of spiritual power to actively use the umbrella to create a'night field', Deprive all the five senses within the scope; release the wraith spirit, causing a continuous mental attack on the target; people who do not master the law of death to a certain degree will be cursed and backlashed, permanently confused by the senses, and with a medium probability of hearing whispers from unknown existence in the underworld;
Detailed explanation: This is a mutilated forbidden object The umbrella bone is missing, and only the umbrella surface is left. Collecting souls can enhance the curse characteristics of the cursed object. The current number of evil spirits is 85,546;
When Su Lun could see the detailed explanation of the umbrella, it was abrupt.
Light could not block the Ship Slasher, it turned out to be a damaged forbidden object.
He looked at it and listened to the whispers, feeling very familiar.
"If you master the law of death, will you not be cursed back? I don't know if my second-stage reaper, Dad has reached the conditions for use..."
Su Lun watched his heart move, and this curse seemed to suit him.
This also understands why it was discovered just now.
It's really because of this flash.
At the same time, he also sighed that these people from the Lu Ying royal family had a really strong background.
Not to mention the standard equipment, this randomly came up with a Tier 4 and took out a broken forbidden object.
