As one of the largest family in the Keston country, the old Duke William became one of the most authoritative marshals in the military as early as the early days of the founding of the country. Not to mention that he himself achieved the powerful strength of the Sword Saint, just by following Lauder I to conquer this territory and establishing this country, it is enough for the entire Keston people to remember him forever.

As the saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son. Old William has three sons in total. The eldest son is now the commander of the Northwest Legion of Keston, the second son is currently the secretary of the State Department, and the third son is the commander of the corps guarding the entire Jessep mine in the south.

The one who received the order this time was Old William's third son, Botler. Botler, who was a big man in a military environment since he was a child, has been leading the army since he was 17 years old, and has now become Keston's leading young general at the age of 32.

According to the news from the mining area, the person who attacked the mining area No. 21 was said to be a monster master with very cruel methods. None of the killed humans were intact. And the guards sent by the nearby mining area a few days ago have not heard of any news until today. Botler estimated that they were in danger.

Therefore, Botler attached great importance to this incident. In the past, all similar incidents, the news sent by the people who fled back had more or less useful information, but this time it was different. Every person who returned, whether soldiers or slaves, had the same face on his face - full of fear. For this reason, Botler had to add some heavy infantry and mage troops to his existing team.

Along the way, Botler walked very carefully, and often sent scouts to explore the way and then continued to move forward.

Today is the day to arrive at the No. 21 mining area. The scouts' report just now made Botler a little suspicious. The entire mining area ahead seemed extremely calm, and no traces of monsters or enemies were found.

Even the guard walls of the mines in the distance were bare and there were no enemies. Botler even doubted whether the other party had left long ago, because there were many bandits who had left after robbing like this in the entire Jessep mine.

Born to be cautious, he only sent 1,000 heavy infantry and 2,000 ordinary infantry to try a little. If the other party has ambush, it will definitely be revealed. After all, these three thousand soldiers are not a small number.

Botler's method did make Zhu Tianxing very troubled. He was about to see the human army going to set off. If he did not attack again, if the other party was allowed to break through the city gate, the consequences would be self-evident.

In desperation, Zhu Tianxing could only order the Arachi creatures to start attacking.

I saw rows of dense spikes suddenly surged from the feet of the infantry moving in the middle of the battlefield, each of which had a height of more than 3 meters. The soldiers' neat square formation suddenly became chaotic.

Each attack by the lurkers can take away a large area of ​​life, and some are even stabbed into several pieces. The attacks that penetrate into the soldiers make the soldiers at a loss. Even Botler, who was watching the battle in the woods in the distance, was deeply shocked by the sudden spikes.

"Retreat, retreat." The voice of the messenger was drowned out by all kinds of sad screams.

No one understood what was going on. Looking at the death of the companions around him, the soldiers felt huge fear in their hearts. Especially when facing these inexplicable attacks, they could not even keep a complete body.

The lurker's attack continued, and the number of soldiers on the battlefield was decreasing sharply. When all the infantry retreated to the forest, Botler finally woke up from the shock. According to statistics, this attack, humans lost nearly 1,000 soldiers in total, and not counting most of the people who came back could no longer fight.

Zhu Tianxing was no less surprised than Botler, and he did not expect to be so exaggerated to the lurkers. The heavy armor on humans seemed to have no effect on this creature. Looking at Philee who was standing by her side, Zhu Tianxing shivered all over.

"No wonder women are the most toxic, and women are terrible." Zhu Tianxing muttered.

However, although certain results have been achieved temporarily, it also exposes Zhu Tianxing's position as the lurker. As long as the other party's commander is not a fool, he will definitely ask the magic troops to clean up the battlefield.

Botler was definitely not a fool. He was shocked by the situation just now and then reacted to him and quickly called the captain of the magic force. "There must be unknown things underground in front of you. Those spikes were made by these things. Call your magician to aim at that place and fight me desperately." Botler pointed to the battlefield just now and roared at the magic leader.

Suddenly, the fire magic in the sky roared towards the place where the lurkers were. Zhu Tianxing could feel the temperature of the surrounding air being rising continuously. The entire battlefield turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"Your people probably won't survive?" Zhu Tianxing turned around and asked Philee.

"Most Arachi creatures are afraid of fire. If they continue to burn for a while, they will die." As the lurking leader, Philey seemed to care about the life and death of her species at all, and she said without expression.

But Zhu Tianxing didn't think so. This was all exchanged for energy. Moreover, when his troops were insufficient, any losses were unbearable.

"What do you mean is that these lurking are not dead yet?" Zhu Tianxing quickly ordered the lurking people on the ground to escape from the ground and retreat behind without waiting for Philey's answer. At the same time, the thorn snakes on both sides launched point-to-point attacks on the magic troops in the distance. Since the host had just been upgraded, although it had not reached the point where it could affect Zhu Tianxing's transmission, for the thorn snake, it was enough to rely on the host to locate the enemy.

A group of eight-horned monsters instantly emerged from the ground, which made Botler's face finally show a smile, "It's these monsters that are causing trouble. They pass my orders and immediately attack the monsters that come out of the ground, and they can't let anyone go."

However, when the mages began to chant and attack the ugly guys in the distance, a few green lights suddenly shot from a distance, hitting the mages directly. The sudden interrupted chanting caused the backlash of magic, and some magic that had not yet been emitted exploded directly on the spot. For a moment, the entire mage army instantly turned into a purgatory on earth.

Even the soldiers around him were affected. Although Botler relied on his powerful fighting spirit to block the attack without being injured, he felt even more angry.

This was the most cowardly battle he had ever fought since he joined the army. He suffered heavy losses without even figuring out his opponent. Some surviving magicians even shouted to evacuate this terrifying place.

Botler knew that from the situation just now, what these monsters feared the most was the attacks of mages, otherwise they would not have chosen mage attacks. However, the magic troops were only hired. According to the regulations of the Magic Guild, once war threatened the lives of magicians, they had the right to evacuate from the battlefield.

In desperation, Botler had to order the entire army to retreat to safety and rest.
