Chapter 7 The back road is blocked
In a canyon on the edge of the dark swamp territory, some firelight that has not yet been extinguished is reflected outside.
"What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?" Chief of Staff Reid asked his adjutant.
"A few monsters have touched here, but they have been repelled by our soldiers." The adjutant replied.
"It seems that these monsters have noticed our actions. We must launch a general attack before they can defend themselves." The young chief of staff added:
"Just now, I received a letter from General Marton. He said that other legions have completed cleaning up the battlefield, and our side is the last one. So we have to take action tomorrow at the latest, and we have to take this time
The operation was completed beautifully, after all, this is the opportunity that General Marton worked so hard to win for us."
As a "young" general, Marton's behavior in the army was very "unhuman" (he did not allow aristocratic children to enter his army to be gilded and receive empty pay), which led to the fact that no big shot in the army was willing to cooperate with him.
He was so close that he was even disliked by the Welsh nobles.
If it hadn't been for the blessing of Marshal Alex, it's doubtful whether Marton would have made it this far. But if the already old Alex suddenly left one day, Marton would have been attacked by multiple forces.
Therefore, he must cultivate some confidants now so as not to fall into an isolated and helpless situation when he is liquidated in the future. This Red is one of his favorite candidates, so it is necessary to use his authority to seek some military glory for him.
"We must repay General Marton with action!"
…
After spending some time waiting for the women of the Lizardmen tribe, Allen now has complete control over the Lizardmen tribe, but Allen is not happy at all, and even the slightest movement will make Allen frightened.
After all, he has now left the protection of the black dragon mother. No matter how weak Yamio is, he is still an epic. Allen, a silver second-level little black dragon, will burp when he encounters a slightly stronger gold!
Fate sometimes really plays tricks on people. Originally, Allen planned to find a place where no one was around to live alone, and then use the system to advance to legend and then go out to wander.
But Allen, who has left the black dragon's mother, now just wants to sigh: "The world is so big, but there is no place where this dragon can live in peace!"
With hundreds of potentially useful but useless lizard men around him, Allen was always worried that eating would be a problem when he was on the road.
"Bachov, you have one last chance to regret now. As long as we capture the kobold in front of us and return to the Black Dragon Clan, we can pretend that nothing happened."
Bachov thought that Allen was testing him, and said with firm eyes: "Don't worry, Lord Allen, the lizard people will not regret today's decision, and you will definitely become a powerful king in the future."
Looking at the men in front of him who were more determined than himself, Allen always felt speechless.
"Wait! It smells of blood!" The dragon's sensitive sense of smell allowed Allen to first detect the source of the smell, which was in the direction they were heading.
"Be careful!" he warned.
There were many women and children in the team who had never participated in the battle, and they caused some noise. They simply stayed far away and did not alert the other party.
Allen concealed himself and went to inquire about the situation. Bachov was worried and followed him.
"What did I think it was? It turned out to be just a group of kobolds! Fortunately, I got excited." The young soldier wiped the blood off his sword, and there were corpses of kobolds everywhere around him.
"Well, who can help me? My leg is injured!"
"Paul, you were injured by a group of kobolds! What a surprise... Hahahaha... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you... You actually... Hahahaha...
"
Facing the ridicule of his companions, the soldier named Paul also looked angry, "They all rushed towards me like they were crazy!"
…
At this moment, Allen, who was hiding in the dark, looked very ugly. There were at least more than 200 human soldiers ambushing here, and each of them was well-equipped and powerful.
Among these people, Allen could sense several gold-level experts alone.
These lizard men led by Allen will definitely not be their opponents. If it weren't for the kobolds who alerted them first, Allen passing by would definitely be attacked by them.
After ascertaining the situation, Allen and Bachov retreated the same way they came.
"Sir, what should we do next?" Bachov asked.
Among the escape routes originally planned by Allen, escaping north was the best one, because the north of the Dark Swamp is a large jungle and is far away from human towns.
After passing through this jungle and entering the mountains further north, even if something big happens outside, Allen will not be able to come out easily.
But now the escape route is blocked!
"This is not an ordinary cleanup at all." The human kingdom almost every once in a while cleans up the surrounding monsters, but in most cases it drives them further away.
But this time is different, this is obviously a situation where all the monsters are to be slaughtered.
"Go east! Let's go around from the east!" Allen decided.
Walking along the east road will bring you very close to human towns, but compared to facing the human army here, taking some risks is not that unacceptable.
At this moment, the two soldiers were unbuckling their belts and heading towards where Allen and the others were hiding.
"Hidden!" Allen immediately ordered.
All the lizardmen immediately hid themselves in the surrounding environment. The green scales on the lizardmen's bodies echoed the green environment of the surrounding jungle, making them very easy to hide.
The two soldiers stopped, back to back.
"Do you think the Wells Empire and the Rhine Empire can fight?"
"Who knows? The decisions of the big shots are beyond the reach of us little soldiers."
"It's just a pity that with such a good opportunity this time, we can only follow behind and eat some leftovers." There was a hint of complaint in the soldier's tone.
"Who told us that the troops coming here this time are the direct troops of General Marton? If it were another army commander, the Steel Duke would be able to do some operations for us, but the other party is Marton after all... ah!"
The sound of water hitting the ground was heard, and the soldier couldn't help but groan.
"Woo!"
The sudden sound immediately alerted the soldier.
Hidden next to him was a small lizard man, who was too nervous to hide himself.
The two pairs of eyes just looked at each other!
"have......!"
Allen suddenly took action and broke the human soldier's neck.
"What's there? Just finish your sentence!" another soldier complained.
Just as he was about to turn around, a spear passed through his chest without warning, directly piercing his lung.
Several lizardmen immediately rushed up and dealt a last blow to the human soldier who was still alive.
"Go, get out of here!" Allen shouted.
…
"Why haven't those two recruits come back yet? Go! Send a team to find them."
A quarter of an hour later, two long-dead bodies were placed in front of the leading officer.
"Sir, do you want to pursue me?" the officer asked.
The leader just thought for a moment: "Forget it, the Archduke just asked us to cooperate with Red's troops to block the retreat of these monsters. We just stay here and don't worry so much. As for the two of them, just think of it as luck.
Chapter completed!
