Now go back in time a little bit...

The cold wind was blowing, and in a camp dozens of miles south of the swamp rainforest, the expeditionary force headed by Zhang William was stationed and resting here.

The location of the camp was very secluded, leaning against a hill, and they were hiding in the heart of the mountain, almost perfectly covering their location.

And it is precisely because of this that they, hiding in the mountains, are basically unaware of what is happening dozens of miles away.

Early the next morning, Zhang William led the siege army to the outside of the swamp rain forest again.

The giant eagle knights flew ahead to explore the road, while below, six thousand infantrymen held rifles in their hands, keeping vigilant, and began to penetrate into the swamp rainforest step by step.

After walking for a while, despite the dangers inherent in the swamp rainforest, the soldiers of the expeditionary force were unexpectedly not attacked. This situation made Zhang William frown slightly.

"Strange, why is it so quiet? The flying troops on the opposite side should not be dead yet. We are now deep into this position, why is there no movement at all?"

Thoughts were racing in Zhang William's mind, and he was completely plunged into doubt.

"Could it be that they are lurking somewhere, waiting to trick me?"

While his thoughts were whirling, Zhang William waved and called the giant eagle knight who was waiting aside to deliver the order.

"The order goes down, everyone should be vigilant and be careful of ambush attacks by enemy lizardmen."

"yes!"

The giant eagle knight responded and quickly flew downwards.

During this period, Kalgan, the leader of the Giant Eagle Knights, also flew over.

"Kalgan, did you notice anything unusual?"

"Reporting to the Elf King, there is nothing abnormal. Even up to now, we have not seen even a shadow of a lizard man."

Kalgan, who said this, clearly had some doubts in his expression. Obviously, like William Zhang, he felt very strange about this situation.

"Kalgan, do you think those lizardmen knew they couldn't defeat us, so they all fled?"

If the lizard man wants to escape, William Zhang actually doesn't care at all.

On the one hand, it is because his purpose of this wave is to ensure the safety of this swamp rain forest. If the lizard people are gone, then this swamp rain forest will naturally be peaceful, and the future navigation channel of their civilization in all worlds will also be safe.

.

On the other hand, the reason is because the lizard people cannot escape at all. In such a day, where can they run with just two legs? It is impossible to escape the search of their giant eagle knights.

Even to some extent, running away was a stupid decision.

You stick to the swamp rainforest, but you still have the advantage of terrain. If you run outside, you can't escape, you can't fight, you are simply asking for death.

"Keep going deeper, I want a clear answer."

Until this swampy rainforest is turned upside down, no one can be 100% sure that the lizard people have really escaped.

In this way, the search continued.

The infantrymen located in the swamp rainforest have received long-term and rigorous training. At this moment, facing this harsh environment, they showed their professional qualities. After a short period of adaptation, they searched

The efficiency quickly improved.

Gradually, as they approached the depths of the swamp rain forest, a smell that was absolutely familiar to them quickly penetrated their nostrils.

The expressions of the infantrymen who smelled this smell changed, and then they hurriedly took a few steps.

The next moment, what caught their eyes was a large number of corpses!

"Everyone, stay alert!"

Amidst the reminder, each infantryman was holding a rifle, with his finger on the trigger. While he was wary of possible enemies around him, he slowly approached.

If their guess was correct, this was probably the camp of the lizard people, because they saw many tent-like and hut-like buildings.

After approaching a certain distance, a lieutenant (equivalent to a centurion) in the infantry unit spoke again...

"The first team and the second team are alert to the surrounding areas, and the third team conducts area searches."

With the development of the military power of civilizations from all over the world in recent years, Luo Ji spent some time to reformulate the military's rank system. At the same time, he also distributed new military uniforms to ordinary soldiers.

After quickly arranging the task, the lieutenant held a rifle and stepped on a pair of field boots and slowly approached one of the corpses.

Judging from its appearance, it seems that the lizard man has not escaped.

And the wounds on these corpses were not caused by firearms...

Just as the lieutenant was thinking this, Ysera slowly landed in the air.

Seeing this, the lieutenant hurriedly ran over, and then gave a military salute to Zhang William who jumped down from the dragon's head.

While Zhang William nodded, his eyes glanced at the military insignia on the officer's shoulder. One bar and two stars, and then he suddenly knew something.

"Lieutenant, how is the situation confirmed here?"

As he spoke, Zhang William's eyes swept across the corpses on the ground, and his eyebrows knitted together unconsciously. Judging from this situation, there were changes.

"Reporting to the Elf King, some of the fatal injuries on these lizard men were caused by cold weapons, and some looked like claw marks. Looking at this battle, it may have been caused by other orc tribes."

Just as the lieutenant said this, a soldier ran over quickly and told them that there was a new discovery over there.

After hearing this, William Zhang quickly followed him.

In addition to a large number of lizard-man corpses, they also found a large number of other strange corpses in this camp.

After getting closer, Zhang William subconsciously rubbed his nose. The stench emanating from these corpses was more pungent than those of the lizard men.

Zhang William tried to find a suitable adjective to describe this feeling in his mind. By the way, the smell was like the smell of dead fish that had been thrown into the trash can in a fish market!

This is really a huge test for Zhang William, who is a high elf.

Resisting the urge to turn around and leave, Zhang William frowned and approached.

Webbed hands and feet, smooth skin, and lines like fish scales can be vaguely seen. The facial features are what humans have, they all have them, but they just don’t look like humans. At the same time, they are connected from the lower jaw to both sides of the neck.

It has organs that look like fish gills.

Probably due to long-term dehydration and the sweltering climate in the swamp rainforest, these guys decomposed faster and more completely after death than those lizard men.

When Zhang William got closer, he could clearly see so many flying insects that they were almost swarms flying around the corpse. It was so disgusting.

"This is a fishman?"
