Chapter 508: A tragic victory
Charred hillside.
On the hillside, after a bloody battle, seven lizard men were not dead. Although they were seriously injured, their bodies were covered with bullet holes, and some even had a blood hole, they were still breathing, and many were still crawling slowly.
The effect of the magic technique has disappeared, the courage of the body is fading, the fanaticism in the mind is slowly cooling down, and the pain in the body has emerged, making them unable to help but speak out.
At this time, no lizard people had the courage to continue climbing to the hellish slope. They tried hard to roll towards the bottom of the slope and stay as far away as possible.
At the bottom of the hillside, there was a thick skeleton necklace around his neck, and a lizardman priest wearing an animal fur robe was hiding among a pile of thick shrubs and watching the situation quietly.
He did not go out to rescue the soldiers rashly because he was not sure if the halfling on the top of the slope was dead.
He listened to the pain of the soldiers in his ears, looked at the hillside burned into scorched earth and still blazing with blue smoke, and was shocked by the combat effectiveness of the halfling.
The 12 powerful lizardman warriors, plus his priest, were almost wiped out by six halflings. If the number of these halflings was not 6, but 60, 600, the terrifying firearm attack was chilling.
"Hersin, my God, why are there such a terrible little thing in the world?" The priest couldn't help but ask the God he believed in: "What should I do?"
If he hadn't accidentally seen a beetle on the ground at the beginning and wanted to catch it and eat it, he would have died now, and the 12 warriors he led were all finished.
If he was not here, there would be no battle at all. There would be only one-sided massacre!
There was no answer, God was silent, and seemed to be worried about this situation.
Top of the hillside.
The middle-aged captain hid under a bush on the top of the mountain. He lay on the ground with a large number of branches and plants as a disguise. He was holding the high-precision sniper musket of sniper Nolan in his hand.
Through the light mirror on the musket, he patiently searched for the figure of the "skeleton necklace" under the hillside. He also saw the messy hillside after the battle and the lizard men crawling towards the bottom of the slope.
At this moment, the anger of his comrades' death had subsided slightly. He recalled the previous battle and his heart was filled with palpitations.
With the help of powerful firearms, they who are weak dare to enter the dangerous land of white mist to take risks. Those warriors who have successfully hunted powerful abyss creatures will do two things after returning to the holy land.
The first thing is to dedicate the heads of these creatures to God to get the rewards from God. The second thing is to share your precious combat experience in the Holy City Warrior Academy.
This has formed a tradition.
Because of this, before he entered the White Mist Land, he had already gained a good understanding of the situation in the White Mist Land. In these records, all the prey was very primitive and backward. They could not make tools, cooperate, or use spells, and had violent personality. Just flirting, using traps is the best way to deal with them.
Anyway, their past opponents were only a little better than idiots.
But today the situation is different. The opponents are organized, able to cooperate, powerful defensive spells, and a round of charge almost wiped out them. This situation is too rare and too scary."
"Ms. Gracedy, I pray for your help. May you dispel the fear in my heart, and may you allow me to successfully hunt the caster of the lizardman." The strong warrior prayed silently in his heart.
Perhaps it was psychological comfort. After praying like this several times, his heart calmed down, anxiety and fear left him, he calmed down, and patiently searched for his opponent with a light mirror.
At this time, a lizardman warrior had already struggled to return to the bottom of the slope on the hillside. He looked very tragic. He had a bowl-sized mouth burst into his chest, and at least twenty shots were shot on his body. He was also stuck in many metal sheets of explosive bombs. He was almost covered with black blood.
He lived tenaciously and climbed to the bottom of the slope. He obviously knew the position of the priest. His survival position made him crawl towards the priest's hiding place. While climbing, he screamed and begged: "Sir, save me! Sir, save me! Sir!"
The Lizardman Priest looked at the warriors who kept crawling over and felt extremely conflicted. He wanted to save people and perform healing magic on them, but he was afraid that his opponent would not die. Perhaps a terrible opponent was looking for him at this time.
He could not use divine art to protect himself because the number of divine arts is limited. He has few divine arts today, and healing skills are still some, but in terms of combat, there is only one detection technique without power.
Without the Lizardman warrior, this detection technique is useless. Although you can know the opponent's location after use, his hiding place is also exposed.
"Sir, help!" The soldier was about to climb to ten meters in front of him and stretched out his blood-stained hand at him.
His movement was used as the human killer on the top of the hillside to point out the location of the prey. The warrior on the top of the slope followed the direction of the lizardman's fingers and searched all the way. Finally, he saw the prey hidden in the bushes.
It is true that he is not a professional sniper warrior, nor does he have Nolan's sniper talent, but the Lizardman is huge and motionless, allowing him to aim leisurely.
He did not aim at his opponent's head, and he was not sure, so he wisely chose his opponent's huge and strong body as his target.
He knew some common sense about sniping, and Nolan would often tell him a few related knowledge. He had also seen Nolan's sniper appearance, so he began to adjust his sight glass and start locking the target.
Instead of firing immediately, he patiently waited for the wind to stop because he knew that when there was wind, the farther the shooting distance, the more the bullet would be blown by the wind. Nolan would make very precise adjustments based on the speed of the wind, but he couldn't do it and could only wait for the wind to weaken.
His patience was rewarded.
The 'skeleton necklace' in the bushes finally couldn't bear it. Maybe he thought it was safe, so he took the initiative to come out of the bushes, walked to the lizardman warriors and squatted down, and began to treat his injuries.
This gives the opponent a great vision.
The wind weakened at the right time, and the human soldiers fired, and a dull sound of "bang" and the metal bullet flew out at high speed.
"It's a hit." This is a mysterious feeling.
Less than a second later, a transparent blood hole broke out in the lizardman priest's chest, and black blood spurted out.
The priest looked at his chest, looked up at the top of the slope, opened his mouth, fell silently to the ground, and died.
"Bang!" The human warrior fired another shot, hitting the Lizardman warrior who was fighting for life on the ground. He fired 7 shots in a row, killing all the Lizardman warriors.
Then he ran out of the bushes and first restrained his comrades' remains.
The young and handsome Nolan, Hansen, Renault, Morris and Gerry, the middle-aged captain, gathered one by one, and dug up the dirt pit on the spot, and said while digging, "Don't worry, young man, I, Thales, will definitely take care of your family. Hansen, I will raise your son, I will send him to Warrior Academy and make him a great guy like you. Nolan, I know your wife is pregnant, don't worry, she will be well taken care of, as long as I live, no one dares to bully them. Renault..."
As the middle-aged man with a vicissitudes said, his face was covered with tears. He wiped his face and regardless of the blood and black mud on his face, he dragged the bodies of his teammates into the pit one by one and buried them carefully.
Then he ran down to cut the Lizardman warrior's ears.
Abyss creatures are generally huge in size, have large heads, and are very heavy. It is not realistic for many prey to take their heads back. Most people like to use simple and light ears as evidence.
12 lizardman warriors, 1 priest wearing a skeleton necklace, and 13 ears. After thinking about it, Thales also brought the priest's thick skeleton necklace. He could see that the identity of this lizardman was not simple. Bringing this thing should be able to make some proof.
After everything was done, Thales walked down the mountain with a bag of ears on his back, arrived at the foot of the mountain, rode his human power turbine, and rushed back to the pilgrimage site.
With so many gains, he believed that God and His Majesty the King would give him a generous reward.
More than two hours after Thales left the hillside, a new team of Lizardman warriors arrived at the hillside where the battle took place. The team had more than thirty Lizardman warriors and a lizardman priest. The priest also had a skeleton necklace around his neck. Unlike the slain priest, his necklace had an additional rhinoceros horn.
Rhinoceros horns represent the status of priests. The more rhinoceros horns, the higher the status. In the new social structure of the Lizardman, the most powerful priests have seven rhinoceros horns on their necklace.
The priest looked at the corpse on the ground, frowned, and a long tail subconsciously whipped the ground, making a snap sound.
After a while, the soldiers searching for combat ruins in this area found the pile of earth-pushing piles of bodies of Thales's buried comrades on the top of the hillside. They dug the slope without hesitation.
"Sir, there are five half-hearted corpses!" said a warrior.
"Are there only five?" The priests frowned tighter. Could they only kill the bodies of five half-lings, including the 12 powerful warriors and the priests present?
All the warriors' ears were cut, which means that the opponent won the final victory, which is really a shame for the Lizardman.
"It's true that there are only five." The Lizardman warrior confirmed.
"Damn little thing!" the priest cursed and waved his hand: "Let's go, let's bring the news back here."
This time, they came late, but these halflings will definitely pay a huge price for this! (To be continued)
