Chapter 366 Barton's Revenge (2)
The night.
In the woods of the Wenyu Forest, the high-level zombie ranger, Patton, lay in the grass on Qiren's knees, carefully pierced the grass in front of him and looked at the forest clearing thirty meters away in front of him.
In the open space, several outlines can be vaguely seen, either lying on branches or leaning against the roots of trees, and inaudible breathing sounds come.
These people were enemies of the Forse Empire - soldiers from the Red Nest.
A week ago, the Imperial General and commander of the Third Legion, Hogg River Claw ordered the provocation of the Red Nest, which triggered the war.
The Third Legion of the Forse Empire and the Red Nest Border Guards fought with the Whispering Forest as the battlefield. Both sides sent elite soldiers to infiltrate each other's territory, carry out activities to sabotage and spy on military affairs, and also hunt each other.
The Gnoll Ranger - Patton is an elite soldier on the Forse Empire.
However, unlike other soldiers in general squad activities, Patton has strong self-support and always acts alone.
Patton sniffed his nose, and the zombie's sensitive nose did not smell any abnormal breath. Like the soldiers of the Fuse Empire, these Red Nest enemies also applied powder to cover up the smell.
However, compared with the powerful magic industry of the Forse Empire, the magic industry of the Red Nest is still in its primitive stage, and most monsters use primitive herbal formulas passed down from generation to generation by the clan.
The medicine powder made by the Red Nest Witch Doctor using primitive methods can be hidden from the werewolves, but it cannot be hidden from the Fenglang, which has a stronger sense of smell.
It was precisely because of the reminder of the Wind Wolf companion that Patton found this infiltrating enemy team.
Discovering the enemy is only the first step, and the second step is to evaluate the strength of this enemy team.
If the assessment is wrong and the enemy that cannot be attacked will be awakened, next year's day may be his death day.
He couldn't help but be careful.
Patton's ears moved, and he identified three breathing sounds, one on the branches, one behind a big tree, and one in a lush shrub. These are the breathing sounds of sleeping people.
However, only hearing three breaths does not mean that there are only three people on the other side.
He judged that this was an elite hunter team on the Red Nest side, specializing in hunting the soldiers of the Fuse Empire, setting traps in the jungle, assassinating officers and spell casters with arrows and poisons, spreading death and fear.
"According to the standard configuration of the Red Nest, an elite Hunter Squad has five members, a high-level captain and four mid-level team members. During rest, one person will be left to watch. A sober person can control the breathing rhythm, and there is still a sound of breathing..."
Patton lay in the darkness, his eyes swept through the clearings in the forest ahead. The last lack of breath belonged to the leader of the team, an unknown high-level powerhouse.
The stronger the person, the stronger the control over his own body, and even if he falls asleep, he will not be easily discovered by others at the same level.
What's more, due to the existence of the night watchman, Patton dared not approach the camp or acted heavily, so as not to wake the enemy up.
"It would be great if Qingya was here. With its sense of smell, I could easily determine the position of the enemy," Barton thought of this and then waved his head.
Wind Wolf is an extraordinary beast. He is too big and can easily be discovered by night watchmen when he gets too close. Therefore, he left the wind and waves two hundred meters away. This distance is not easy to be discovered, and it can also be supported in time when the situation occurs.
But when determining the enemy's position, Fenglang's partner couldn't help much.
Patton was holding a bow and arrow, lying in the grass without moving. He would not act rashly before determining the enemy's position. In the face of a dangerous opponent, the enemy might not kill him and lose his life.
As a high-level ranger, he has been scrambling and crawling on the battlefield for eight years, and Patton has some patience.
Time passed by little by little, the moon was hidden and the stars were sinking, and the earth was shrouded in the viscous darkness.
Dew gradually condensed from the plants around the werewolves. He ignored the dew and lay quietly in the grass.
The ultimate night has come, this is the darkness before dawn.
In a short while, the first ray of light of today will be revealed in the east sky, and the day is about to come.
By daytime, the light was improved, and the zombies lying thirty meters away could no longer hide.
Finally, a trace of whiteness appeared in the east.
It's dawn.
Patton's patience finally gained.
"Ah~," the Red Nest soldier who had been guarding all night yawned and stood up from his hiding position.
He is also a werewolf, looking relatively thin, with a pair of daggers inserted on both sides of his waist, and he is likely to be a werewolf thief.
I have to say that this thief was very outstanding. He was melted into the shadows during the entire vigil, and there was no flaw in it, so that Patton couldn't find a chance even if he wanted to kill him silently.
But after the vigil, he finally relaxed and lost the vigilance that a thief should have.
"Everyone! It's dawn! It's time to work!"
"It's time to work," Patton murmured to himself in a voice that he could only hear, and the three arrows placed at his hand were placed on the bowstring at the same time.
Except for the captain who has not yet found the position, the remaining members of the Red Nest Hunter Team have been determined. Except for the lucky ones sleeping behind the big tree, the other three are within Patton's shooting range.
As long as these three people are killed at the same time, the opponent will only have a high-level captain and a mid-level team member. With the cooperation of the wind and wave partners, Patton has the confidence to defeat the enemy.
Silently pulling the bowstring tightly, Patton patiently waited for the opportunity.
Even for high-level rangers, it is a big challenge to shoot three arrows at the same time and ensure that each arrow can be fatal with one blow.
The opportunity is here!
Almost at the same time, the enemy sleeping in the tree jumped down. He was also a werewolf, and the enemy hiding in the bushes also stood up, a relatively rare lizard man.
Patton's heartbeat suddenly slowed down. There were only three people with flaws in his sharp eyes. He aimed at the heads of the three people and released the tight bowstring.
Wong~.
Accompanied by the trembling sound of the bowstring, three arrows flashing with cold light flew out. Two arrows passed through the gap between the grass. The third arrow cut a green grass, cut off the upper half of the green grass, and shot at the three enemies who relaxed their guard.
The zombie thief turned his back to Patton, smiling and greeting his companion who was jumping from the tree, feeling a tingling pain behind his head, and an arrow drilled out from his eyebrows, revealing a bloody arrow.
Confused consciousness, the zombie and thief became weak.
The werewolf jumping from the tree was still falling. When he saw the arrows shot from his companion's eyebrows in the air, his mane exploded, sensing a fatal crisis, but he was unable to change his orientation in the air.
The moment the gnoll landed, the second arrow shot through his throat. The bloody arrow was still nailed to the trunk of the big tree behind him, and the arrow tail trembled violently.
At the same time, the third arrow shot into the lizardman's eyes with a howling sound of breaking through the air. The cold light on the arrow seemed to be about to shoot through the lizardman's eye sockets, and there was no time to dodge.
The plant in front of him, which was shot by an arrow, fell to the ground, and Patton widened his eyes.
The moment the arrow was about to hit the lizard man, he was distorted by an invisible position, drew an unnatural arc, and flew into the distance by the lizard man.
"Protective arrows?!"
"Spellcaster?!"
Patton was shocked and then reacted: "No, given the rareness of the caster in the Red Nest, his status is even more noble than the caster in the Verse Empire, and it is impossible for him to appear here."
"Besides, the lizard man in front of him has double blades on his back, and his face is painted with oil. He is strong and he doesn't look like a spellcaster at first glance."
"The only explanation is that he has enchantments!"
While thinking, the high-level zombie ranger suddenly shot from the grass and pulled his bow and shot arrows again. This time, a light layer of energy light attached to the arrow, and the arrow covered with energy light shot out faster than ordinary arrows.
Ranger's combat skills - deadly shooting!
The deadly shooting is not only faster, but also has a magic-breaking function. Moreover, Patton has the advantage of professional level, so he will inevitably be able to penetrate the Lizardman's magic.
Listening to the howl of the wolf coming from behind, Patton stared at the Lizardman. As long as the enemy killed the Lizardman before it reacted, the situation would be two to two.
However, after the first round of sneak attacks, the enemy had already reacted.
The lizardman rolled on the spot, with some green grass stained on his body, looking very embarrassed, but he almost avoided the arrows shot and survived.
Patton's heart sank, the enemy would not give him a chance to attack for a third time.
A sharp sound of breaking through the air came from above, Patton tilted his head and dodged, a dagger brushed his head and flew past, and the blade of the dagger was sinking into the soil.
Following the direction of the dagger, he saw the captain of the Red Nest Hunting Team that had not been discovered, which was a thin orc.
A long sword was fixed on the left of the orc belt, a dagger was tied on the other side, and a rope was held in his hand, and a claw hook was tied to one end of the rope. He rested among the dense leaves on the treetops, and was waving the gripping hook to the surface.
The rope with the hook tied to the orcs seemed to be a vicious snake that had come alive, wrapped around the branches, like a monkey grabbing the vines and swinging over like a swing.
The orc pulled out the long sword at his waist in mid-air. The sword flashed with cold light. It was obviously not the garbage cast by the bad kowtowed blacksmith of the Red Nest, but a real weapon.
The orc stared at the werewolf ranger coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He wanted to tear the zombie that killed two of his team members into pieces.
It all happened in a moment.
The high-level zodiac ranger - Patton quickly threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, pulled out the two blades on both sides of his waist, and posed the starting style of the Fuse Empire Ranger's military swordsmanship.
The two blades in his hand are one long and one short, and the long straight grip is aimed at the enemy, with the purpose of attacking the enemy, and the short reverse grip protects the body, and the function is to defend yourself.
"Come on! The mess of the Red Nest!" When things got to this point, Patton simply stopped giving in and stared at the orcs who were coming, calculating the orcs' rippling trajectory, and at the same time, he held the blade in his hand tightly.
But the orc shook his claw hook in the air, and the claw hook fell off the branches and grabbed the alert zombie ranger in the air.
Patton rolled on the spot, avoiding the attack of the claw hook. The claw hook fell on the grass where he was originally located, and suddenly shrank back, bringing up a large piece of soil.
Taking advantage of the zombies' avoidance, the orcs landed steadily on the ground, seven meters away from the zombies, with a long sword in one hand and a claw hook in the other hand, and was coldly watching the zombies without rushing to attack.
He has two intermediate partners, while the gnoll has only one intermediate wind wolf. It is safer to stand on his side when his partner arrives.
Even though Fenglang was very fast, the distance was too far after all, and the orc's two companions arrived first.
A gnoll ranger and a lizardman warrior, standing next to the orc.
"Kill him! Revenge our dead companions!"
Without any hesitation, the orc raised his sword and slashed it up, and the enemy's mid-level zombie ranger and lizardman warrior rushed up.
Patton did not retreat but advanced, and the sword in his hand stabbed out into the orc's throat, and the sword was pushed away by the high-level orc.
Facing the lizardman's slash, Patton twisted his body and avoided the blade that was slashed, while using a short blade to block the blade that was stabbed by the enemy zombie ranger.
The orc took a step forward and kicked the werewolf hard in the chest. If he was hit hard by this howling kick, several sternums would have to be broken.
At this time, the Gnoll Ranger had just held the blade of the hostile companion, and it was the time when the old power was not exhausted and the new power was not born.
A trace of cruelty flashed in the thin orc's eyes. He seemed to have seen the scene of the zombie's sternum breaking, vomiting blood, and kneeling to beg for mercy.
"At that time, I will humiliate him severely, and then refuse his begging for mercy, bring his head back in exchange for military merit. The head of a hostile high-level ranger is very valuable."
"Well..., before he dies, you can torture it," as a former pirate, he has some way to let the enemy speak.
However, in the face of the orc's powerful and powerful kick, Patton was not panicked.
As a high-level ranger who has been on the battlefield for eight years and created a demon hunter, he also has real materials, and he is also from an aristocratic family.
There is a wolf tooth pendant on the neck of the werewolf, which is covered by clothes. The wolf tooth pendant is engraved with complex magic runes, and the green magic runes flash.
Tiger guards!
The power of the ancient shaman magic poured into the body of the zombie ranger and distributed it to his limbs, making his limbs lighter and his whole body suddenly became much more flexible.
With a little toe on the ground, the Gnoll Ranger quickly retreated, and his body was so awkward.
The orc's powerful kick seemed to hit, but in fact it was just sticking to the surface of the Gnoll Ranger's body and did not hit it.
Dali kicked the air and pulled the egg, and the orc looked depressed.
The lizardman and the gnoll wanted to pursue, but they were willing but not capable, because the animal companion of the high-level ranger, Fenglang, also arrived.
A green magic wind surrounded by his side, and the wind wolf seemed to be a afterimage, with magical energy wrapped around his sharp claws, and pounced towards the hostile zombie.
The mid-level werewolf ranger had to return to defense and put his swords across his chest.
Fenglang's claws hit the blade hard, and the huge force bent the blade and hit the zombie's chest, causing him to feel so angry.
Chapter completed!
