The road between the forests is winding, but wherever you go, you can feel the softness where you stand, and everything is covered with thick fallen leaves.

When everyone steps on the fallen leaves, they can feel their bodies sinking slightly. After years of accumulation, these fallen leaves are layered one on top of another. The ones on top are still fresh, but the ones on the bottom are rotten like mud. They often step on them.

, you can feel the slippery mud flooding the ankles along the seams of the shoes. The pulpy and soft feeling makes people extremely uncomfortable.

However, everyone just walked forward silently, and no one made any complaints. Including Shiloh, it was like turning into a ghost, so they must move forward cautiously.

It was two hours before dawn, and Shiloh, with three life magicians and 50 divine arm crossbowmen, was traveling back and forth in the forest, hunting for the secret sentries of the lizardmen.

After Mahmoud recovered, he immediately found Shiloh and expressed his desire to take his troops deep into the lizardmen's lair again. With the experience of the last time, Mahmoud was determined to win this time, and he must completely eliminate these snail-dwelling gangs for Stormwind City.

The beasts of the underground.

Shiloh naturally would not refuse, but when formulating tactics, Mahmoud said that these lizard men are good at digging holes underground, so even if they cannot leave the ground during the day, they can easily discover the whereabouts of everyone, so this time

Raid battles are best won with elite troops.

Shiloh knew what Mahmoud meant, but most of the elite soldiers and generals in Stormwind City were heavily armored units. Whether it was the Sighing Barrier heavy armored soldiers or the Tiger Army, their solid armor meant that they were not candidates for sneak attacks.

The Guards are also heavily armored. After much calculation, the only one that meets everyone's standards is the Divine Arm Crossbowman.

In the early stages of discussing the battle, Shiloh was caught in a dilemma. If he wanted to eliminate the lizardmen, Stormwind City could not underestimate the enemy and must use all its strength. However, if the army moved out, the meaning of a sneak attack would be lost.

.

Shiloh thought about it and actually got himself in. Fortunately, Connor reminded him in time: "Your Highness, a sneak attack does not mean that every enemy must be eliminated by sneak attacks. It just helps the troops better complete their strategic goals.

.”

Shiloh thought about Connor's words carefully, and suddenly realized, cursing himself for getting into the horns of a bull. The advantage of the lizard people is that they penetrate underground and are familiar with the terrain, but correspondingly, they cannot come to the ground at sunrise, which is their biggest

shortcomings.

As long as their eyes are pressed firmly, the dominance of this battle will be in Hilo's hands.

When all these lizardmen become blind and deaf, isn't it Shiloh's decision to decide what to do?

After understanding this level, the follow-up battle plan came naturally. Shiloh took the lead in hunting down the lizard people's secret sentries in the forest with the life magician and the divine arm crossbowman, while Connor and Mahmoud organized the soldiers and were ready at any time.

The army pressed forward and defeated the remaining lizardmen forces in one fell swoop.

It has to be said that in such a complex terrain, the advantages of the system soldiers are fully demonstrated. No matter how hard they work, they will not complain about anything and are as precise as machines.

It was only at this moment that the combination of the Life Magician and the Divine Arm Crossbow showed its power.

The life magician can sense the life energy of all surrounding creatures. This range is fixed within 200 meters, which is already an extremely exaggerated human radar. And if any creature with powerful life energy appears, even if it exceeds 200 meters, the life energy

Magicians can also feel it, it can be said to be an all-powerful human radar.

Shiloh didn't even need to interrupt, he saw that the exchanged life magicians had already started to do something. One of them took two steps forward, suddenly pointed to the ground more than 40 meters to the right, and whispered: "There, underground

One foot away.”

Immediately, a divine arm crossbowman raised his arm crossbow. The delicate mechanism worked and the crossbow body unfolded. Immediately, a crossbow arrow made of fine iron turned into a black shadow, silently breaking through the layers of rotten leaves on the ground and sinking into the soil.

In the middle, a deep small hole was left.

The next moment, I saw the soil suddenly rolling. A hand with scales tried its best to turn over the soil and rotten leaves above the head. However, before it could even move, it lost its strength and fell down. Waiting for Shiloh

The man dug up the ground and took a look, only to find that the lizard man's skull had been penetrated by a crossbow arrow and he was already dead.

The life magician walked to the dead lizard man and gently touched the body of the lizard man with the wand in his hand. The blood on the body seemed to be attracted, and was sucked up bit by bit by the wand. Waiting for the life magician

When he nodded and removed the wand, the lizard man had turned into a mummy.

"How much life force has been absorbed?"

"Less than 0.2 units, this lizard man's vitality is very weak. It should be used as cannon fodder by the lizard man's efforts... Your Highness, I feel that there are several stronger vitality over there."

Shiloh nodded and divided everyone into three groups. Each group was led by a life magician. They scattered to hunt the lizard people's secret sentries, and also helped the life magicians collect life force.

The more vitality there is, the greater the role the Life Magician can play on the battlefield. Naturally, he can collect as much as he can.

The lizard man never imagined that Shiloh would get a magic template like Life Magician, which was not only powerful, but could also be used as a humanoid radar.

Although the lizardmen are good at hiding and can spy on the entire forest after blending into a bad environment, Hilo has an anti-stealth unit. As long as it is within 200 meters, it is like having the whole map open. Where are you hiding?

, you can figure it out no matter how deep you hide.

If those lizard priests knew that the secret whistle they carefully placed had turned into a feast for the life magician, they would probably be so frightened that they would immediately perform a blood sacrifice and escape from Hope Island.

These humans are cheating. The technology tree grows in a mess and they don’t follow the regulations!

Many lizardmen hidden in the mountain forest will be killed by a cold crossbow before they are even noticed. The soil above their heads seems to have no protective effect and cannot hinder or slow down the crossbow.

The slightest bit of speed.

Why were they discovered, and why were the arrows so powerful after being shot into the soil?

As they lay dying, some lizard people couldn't help but think about these two questions. However, when those green-robed magicians appeared, the lizard people's consciousness had dissipated, leaving only their vitality for these magicians to drive.

In just over half an hour, everyone had completely cleared the lizardmen's hidden sentries in this mountain forest. After that, the army advanced. Naturally, there was no need to worry about their whereabouts being discovered prematurely, giving the lizardmen time to prepare.

Shiloh didn't say much, but he kept paying attention to the messages that flashed in the battle records. Every time he killed, his divine arm crossbowmen would gain corresponding experience. However, from the beginning to the end, everyone wiped out about 200 people.

There were multiple secret sentries, each of whom had gained dozens of experience points, but none of the soldiers responded to upgrade.

Sure enough, the more powerful units require more experience to upgrade? The original sword and shield soldiers and armored guards were able to upgrade and acquire new skills after a battle.

Now it seems that if an intermediate soldier wants to upgrade, the experience required cannot be obtained overnight. After ensuring that no one is monitoring the forest in the main film, Shiloh finally gave the order to let Connor and Mahmoud lead the troops forward.

Except for the cavalry, other soldiers participated in the battle. They wrapped cloth belts around their feet to avoid making too much noise. One after another, they marched neatly through the mountains and forests towards the lizardman's lair.

When everyone walked in the forest, they raised their heads and saw patches of tall tree crowns, like large open umbrellas, blocking the sky tightly. Occasionally, a ray of starlight could be seen falling through the gaps.

On the ground, the surroundings were pitch black, with one or two strange calls of night owls coming from time to time. It was as quiet as a dead place.

Under the guidance of Mahmoud, everyone quickly moved towards the lizard people's lair. At this time, the sea level was already a little brighter. It was at dawn, when the lizard people were most tired, so it was a good time for a sneak attack.

Chance.

No one spoke, everyone was holding back their anger. This battle would be a battle of revenge for them.

The air was extremely humid, making the underwear wet and sticky to the skin, which was quite uncomfortable. No one lit torches, so they could only move forward little by little in the dark.

Not long after, Shiloh smelled a strange rotten smell in the air. It was not the smell of rotting leaves in the mountains and forests, but a smell of rot and stench mixed together. Shiloh frowned and covered it with his sleeves.

He held his nose, but the thick putrid smell still tried its best to get into his mouth and nose, as if it wanted to penetrate into the depths of Shiloh's body, bit by bit making him rot and die.

"Ding... Various pathogens have been detected that are invading the host... The erosion is ineffective."

A system prompt suddenly flashed in his mind. Shiloh just glanced at it and ignored it. Instead, he confirmed that they had entered the territory of the lizard people.

Hilo has system protection and can be immune to all germs and viruses. The same goes for system soldiers. Ordinary people have long drank the divine healing water. To be on the safe side, Hilo even asked each of them to bring a bottle of water.

Of course, these little tricks of the lizard people will not have any effect.

"Your Highness, there is a large amount of life energy gathering in front of you, all underground."

After listening to the report of a life magician, Shiloh nodded and looked carefully at the mountainous area in front of him. He saw that the mountainous area was rugged and rocky, with more than a dozen cave entrances vaguely exposed, and there were all kinds of chaos at the entrance.

There were footprints, and there was a faint glow of fire inside the cave.

And around the mountainous area, it was a mess, with a large number of bones and remains, and various traces of feces that exuded a foul smell, which was extremely disgusting.

After knowing this, Shiloh went deep underground and said, "Mahmud, where did you sneak into the ground from last time?"

Mahmoud pointed to a cave not far away and whispered: "That's right there. The farther you go inside, the wider it gets. You can reach the place where the lizard people hold sacrifices in about ten minutes."

"Okay, we are divided into two teams. The first team is commanded by me, and Mahmoud leads the way. We will try our best to cover up our traces and assassinate all the lizardmen who block the way. Connor will be in charge of the second team, keeping up with the first team.

A hundred steps away, beware of lizard man traps."

Connor and Mahmoud each took their orders, and the troops immediately divided into two groups. After a while, they turned into two troops, one on the left and one on the right, facing each other from a distance.

Shiloh ordered Mahmoud to lead the Divine Arm Crossbowmen to clear out the lizardmen at the entrance. The man, who had just recovered from a serious injury, did not hesitate and immediately nodded in agreement. He was seen greeting a few desert mercenaries and wanted to set off.

"Wait a minute... Mahmoud, ask your brothers to protect my safety. You can take them up."

Shiloh suddenly stopped Mahmoud, winked, and 10 divine arm crossbowmen immediately stepped out and followed Mahmoud.

Mahmoud wanted to say something else, but seeing the serious look on Shiloh's face, he finally nodded. He crouched like a nimble bobcat under the cover of darkness, approaching the cave little by little.

After a while, he and the divine arm crossbowmen were lying in ambush on both sides of the cave.

Mahmoud listened carefully and could clearly hear the distinctive neighing sound of the lizard people coming from inside. He carefully identified it for a while and found that there were about 6...no, 7 lizard people.

He was about to send a signal to the divine arm crossbowman, but he saw the divine arm crossbowman in front of him stretched out his hand to him, first made a five with his forehand, and then made a three with his backhand.

He means, there are 8 lizardmen in there?

Mahmoud frowned. Although these soldiers were the elite of His Highness, Mahmoud did not think that the desert mercenaries under his command would be weaker than them, so he ignored them and winked.

He suddenly rolled to the ground and rushed directly into the cave. +

Mahmud's movements were very fast, and his sudden attack caught these lizardmen off guard. He only saw these lizardmen sitting around a campfire, seemingly grilling something to eat. The moment he rushed in, the lizardmen facing him were

An incredible look flashed in the eyes of a lizard man.

The first one.

Mahmoud immediately raised his arm crossbow, and just as he was about to shoot the sharp crossbow arrow, he saw a crossbow arrow shooting out from behind him, directly piercing the lizard man's throat.

Mahmoud reacted quickly, and immediately aimed at another lizard man and pulled the trigger of the crossbow. Hearing a burst of sound, several lizard men blocking the entrance of the cave had all been hit by arrows and fell, except Mahmoud.
