MTL - The Barrage Said, I Am the Final Villain In the Game-Chapter 223 attack
Chapter 223 Raid
When Lin En and Corinna arrived at the outpost, what they saw were soldiers lined up neatly and armed.
"Where are you... are you going?" Corinna asked a person who should be the captain based on his attire.
The captain sized her up a bit, and then saw the horse under her with the Traore family crest branded on it, and straightened her back a little more.
"Miss Report, we are going to go out to clean up the monsters."
"A Tier 2 monster attacked us just now, causing casualties. Afterwards, Mr. Traore thought that this attack was not an ordinary thing, so he assembled the army to investigate whether there are other monsters lurking around."
Corinna was thoughtful.
It seems that the rotten short-lived ghost they didn't find came here.
The rotten short-lived ghost is indeed not a restless monster. It is really unusual to suddenly run out of the station and attack the human town. No wonder Marquis Traore made such an order.
"I see."
The girl nodded, without further words, got off her horse and entered the outpost. As soon as she turned her head, she saw the Marquis Traore who was also armed.
"Uncle Carman."
Before she could finish speaking, Marquis Traore said coldly, "Go back to the manor."
"I"
"Aren't you coming back?" The Marquis waved his hand, "Arrange a camp for them too."
“.”
Corinna watched the Marquis go away in silence, somewhat helpless in her heart.
The Marquis can always speak to the point of death, without leaving any gaps for her, which makes her completely unable to communicate with the other party.
Shaking her head, she shook her head and looked at Lin En: "Sir, what are we looking at now?"
Lin En didn't answer her immediately, but said: "Shall we go shopping here?"
"Huh?" Corinna didn't react for a while, but seeing Lynn's slightly serious expression, she probably realized what he was thinking about.
"it is good."
She complied.
Several people strolled around the outpost together, but the scenery here is obviously not very good, and the space is completely occupied by camp tents.
"Why are there so many camps?" Alyssa felt a little strange, "Is it a place for the soldiers to rest after returning from the expedition?"
"No."
Corinna looked up at the window of a tent.
Through the window, it can be clearly seen that there is actually only one bed in the huge tent, and someone is already lying on it.
"I guess, the people here should all be polluted by the curse. Perhaps the Marquis was worried that someone would be accidentally involved, so he separated them all." Corinna roughly analyzed.
Paused, she looked at Lynn who was still looking around: "Sir, did you find anything?"
"Hmm" Lynn pondered for a moment, and said, "It seems that there are not many people guarding this area."
Corinna guessed: "Because they all went out to hunt down monsters, right?"
"Is it?"
Lin En smiled noncommittally: "However, since this is an outpost, the lord will not let it remain empty like this forever? Next, someone will definitely fill in the gap temporarily, right?"
"This" Corinna also felt something was wrong.
They were just going to clean up the monsters, not to fight to the death. They didn't leave any defensive force in the rear, which was really abnormal.
At this moment, there are not many people in the outpost, even medical workers, and a few guards are symbolically guarding the watchtowers and entrances and exits, which are more numerous than them. No matter how you look at it, it is enough.
It would make sense to say that there is a checkpoint controlled by the army behind the outpost, but according to her memory when she came, there is no checkpoint behind the outpost, and she can directly face Satland through the small jungle and small hills. .
Even if there is an army, it should be taken away by the Marquis, right?
At this moment, she suddenly heard laughter and laughter from a tent not far away.
The familiar voice further deepened her doubts.
Young Master Traore and his companions are all here now, how can you say that there shouldn’t be any guards left behind?
Corinna wanted to find the truth through thinking, but she couldn't think of it for a while.
But a woman's natural keen intuition told her that this matter is definitely not that simple.
"Let's wait and see." Corinna murmured, "Look at them, when will they come back."
Lynn agreed with her.
However, this class is dark.
When the moon was hanging on the branches and the stars were all over the sky, they could not hear the noise of the horseshoes.
Not only that, this outpost town really didn't have any other people coming in to guard it. How many people were there when they left, and how many people are still there now.
Corinna came to the entrance of the outpost, followed by the glow of the torch to observe the surroundings.
Perhaps it was because of standing guard for too long, the guards at the door were already drowsy. Although they could still stand, looking at their five yawns in a minute, one knew that they might not be able to hold on for too long——Soldier's Practice often requires a lot of rest to replenish the vitality lost during exercise, so fighters are more likely to get sleepy than ordinary people.
Corinna looked up again.
By the glow of the torch, he could fully see the scene on the watchtower.
At this moment, the guard above had already sat on the ground leaning against the railing with his weapon in his arms, and was sound asleep. Judging by his appearance, he had probably been asleep for a while.
Actually don’t blame them.
The boring and monotonous work with no means of entertainment is easy to make people feel bored and sleepy, and their working hours far exceed the normal time limit, so it is reasonable to feel sleepy.
In addition, they might think in their hearts that although their rear area is empty, the Marquis has brought so many people out to hunt down monsters, and it seems likely that few of them will escape the search and sneak to them.
In an environment that I think is safe, it is easier to get tired.
With such a lax defense, the faint sense of crisis flickering in Corinna's heart began to gradually solidify.
She always felt that something might happen next.
—her senses were right.
Just as she was about to turn around, there was a thunderous roar from afar.
"Roar-"
The astonishing and frightening roar caused the camp to become a riot in an instant.
The guard at the entrance subconsciously clenched the spear in his hand, and the soldiers on the watchtower also opened their eyes, and the crackling noises from the camp behind her didn't stop.
Before the soldiers in the tent finished dressing and walked out of the tent, Corinna stepped onto the watchtower first, and pushed aside the soldiers who were awake but still somewhat dazed.
The weather is good today, even if there is only moonlight and starlight, Corinna can still tell who it is.
"That is."
The pupils of the girl suddenly shrank.
"Golden Scaled Bear!"
The giant golden-scaled bear, after adulthood, is a second-order monster, and its physical strength is at the top level among the second-order monsters. It relies on its natural shield-like golden scales, its height of seven or eight meters, and its agility and quickness that does not fit its body shape. , enough to become the existence of a Warcraft overlord in the wilderness.
In 1v1 heads-up, no monster of the same level can firmly suppress it, and a single human being is even less likely to be its opponent.
"Everyone, assemble!"
Corinna showed her due calm at this moment.
She first asked the few remaining soldiers to sound the magic props for early warning, and then used her loudest volume to gather all the people who could still get up, trying to gather everyone's strength to resist the giant bear.
"Everyone, there is a monster attack, we"
Before she finished speaking, she felt how powerless she was to resist.
Among these people, there are only a dozen or twenty who can stand properly, and most of them have suffered some minor injuries. no.
If these people really wanted to resist the attack of the monster, the end would be to put themselves on the dinner plate and serve it in front of the monster with their own hands.
"We're getting out of here."
Looking at them, Corinna forcibly shook off the idea of resisting, and shouted loudly: "Everyone, run separately! Don't concentrate in one direction and be chased by monsters!"
"Also!" the girl roared hoarsely, "Don't bring the monsters on the way to the town!"
“.”
The wounded are all soldiers who have undergone systematic training. They have a very good order and prohibition mode. Although the girl is not their real commander, they obediently accepted the girl's order under the roar outside.
There were not many redundant movements, no loud noises, and no redundant people even wanted to help those who couldn't get up in other camps.
Under the circumstances that they may not be able to save themselves, no one has extra thoughts to save others.
"Hoo—"
On the high platform, Corinna looked back at the giant bear that was getting closer, and then at the people whose transfer speed was relatively slow. Sadness gradually spread in her heart.
She knew that even though she had reminded her as soon as she discovered it, and even though everyone had executed it well, they couldn't escape under the absolute strength gap.
"not necessarily."
Words with a relaxed mood completely opposite to hers suddenly reached her ears.
Corinna looked back subconsciously: "Mr. Hohodsos"
Lin En didn't respond, just pointed to the shadowed giant bear, and said, "Look, it looks like it's running."
"Like running?" Corinna looked in the direction Lynn pointed.
There, the giant bear was running fast under the moonlight. It was very fast. It only took a minute or two before it could break into the defenseless camp.
But Corinna also discovered the abnormality under the rapidity.
This bear actually only has a pair of hind legs and a front leg for running.
There is also a forefoot, which does not actually touch the ground, and at the connection points of the rest of the body, liquid seeps from it and falls to the ground, drawing a long line.
"It's hurt!" Corinna seemed to have found hope, "Did Uncle Kaman and the others do it? Does that mean that they are actually following him, as long as we persist for a while, they will be able to keep up and put it solve?"
"Whether the Marquis did it, I don't know, but" Lynn tilted his head, looking at the girl's side face covered by a silver veil, "How do you think you insist?"
"I'm coming!" the girl said sonorously, "If it was under normal circumstances, I wouldn't dare to say so, but at this moment it is not the provincial period, and I don't need to defeat it, I just need to deal with it for a while, and wait until Kaman Uncle, they will be fine when they arrive."
She clenched her fists and gathered them in her chest.
"I am a knight, my riding skills are not bad, I will definitely be able to do it!"
"Knight." Lynn's face became a little strange, "Then there is a problem."
"As a knight, you should have your mount, right? Where is it?"
Korinna was startled, and subconsciously replied: "I remember when we came, we tied it at the entrance. Bastard, where is my horse!"
When the girl followed her memory to look over, she suddenly found that there was only Lynn's magic horse left.
"There's no need to look for it." Lin En sighed, "Your and Alyssa's horses were ridden away by those young masters."
"They?" Corinna, who was looking around, suddenly became furious, "Don't they have their own horses, why are they robbing me!"
Lin En shrugged: "As far as I know, it was requisitioned as a strategic material."
“.”
Corinna gritted her teeth and looked at the last horse that was tied up.
Because of his bad temper, the group of young masters dare not approach, so it is the only mount still in the camp at this moment.
Corinna wants to rely on her ability to go out and deal with the giant bear, the only way is to ride it.
It's just that it is not an easy task to conquer a magic horse, and there is not much time left for her. There is no way for her to successfully control it in just one or two minutes and display her riding skills. surgery.
Besides the first time, there is another way.
—Let Lynn take her.
Corinna glanced at Lynn out of the corner of her eye, but was too embarrassed to say it.
Things have developed to this point, they are all in a life crisis at this moment, and the source of everything is because of her.
It's all right now, I haven't completed my mission, and I may have to take my life.
If it's just me, that's fine, but Lynn and Corinna are absolutely innocent, and they could have avoided this kind of suffering.
If Lin En is required to go on an adventure with her now, the girl is really speechless.
"Roar-"
The roar that was enough to shake the soul awakened Corinna from her fantasy.
Looking up, the giant bear is already very close.
No time left.
"Boom—"
The fragile barrier in front of the outpost was easily broken by the giant golden scale bear. Although its body was slightly damaged, what it broke into was an ant's nest.
They take it, helpless.
The tip of its nose moved slightly, and it smelled the smell of flesh and blood, so it jumped high and came to a camp.
"Tear—"
The fragile cloth was torn into countless cloths flying all over the sky under the sharp claws. The man lying on the simple bed looked at the huge shadow in front of him, and before he had time to fear, he turned it into food for his physical strength.
"Damn."
On the observation deck, the girl looked back hopefully.
Unfortunately, there is nothing.
