Fifty kilometers away.
Long Rock Canyon.
Unlike the special forces that stopped to rest after the battle, the Eden Army, the Plantagenet Empire, and the Eye of God were on their way.
Due to the relentless pursuit of the horned devils, the Eden Legion finally arrived at this deep, pitch-black canyon after sacrificing the lives of dozens of soldiers who had fallen behind.
"Guardian Knights, hurry up and charge. Seize the entrance to Long Rock Canyon!" Red-Robed Archbishop Nero gave the order.
"We'll bring up the rear!" Thomas could no longer hide his strength. He knew that if the Eden Army's Guardian Knights failed to take the entrance, the entire team would be surrounded. He did not know how Mr. Wood's special forces, the Dark Temple, and the Teutonic Knights would survive, but he did not want to be surrounded by the Long-Fanged Horned Monsters again.
There were more than two thousand Long-Fanged Horned Monsters chasing after them.
If he wanted to kill them all …
He did not know how much he would have to pay.
Moreover, killing them did not mean that they were out of danger. The Long-Fanged Horned Monsters could catch up at any time.
It was impossible for Thomas to let his men enter the Long Rock Canyon when they had no idea what was going on inside. Hence, he chose the most stable method, which was to stay behind and defend against the enemy together with Bloody Duchess Mary and the new leader of the Templars, Hugo.
These two had worked together in the Purgatory Journey, and were trustworthy competitors.
"There's been no movement from Mr. Wood …" Bloody Mary frowned. Did Mr. Wood not agree to break out of the encirclement?
"Did they get surrounded by the Long-Fanged Horned Monsters?" The other leader of the Three Lions Sect, David, looked at Bloody Mary with a smile that didn't seem like a smile. He curled his lips with a hint of schadenfreude. Of course, he didn't fully reveal his smile. It was more of a hidden mockery. "Surrounded by more than four thousand Barb-Tusked Horned Monsters, I don't doubt Mr. Wood's ability. However, if he wants to lead his team out of the encirclement, even for someone as famous and omnipotent as him, it seems a little too difficult!"
Bloody Mary acted as if she did not see David at all.
She completely ignored him and left.
David, whose hair was like a waterfall, raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders. "I was just speaking the truth!"
Hugo, who was holding a steel shield, smashed the skull of a horned monster that was trying to get close. When he retreated to David's side, he shook his head and said, "David, it's not too late to say these things after you see the enemy's corpse!"
"Agreed!" Josiah caught up with Hugo, panting slightly. He felt that he had expended a lot of energy after consecutively defeating the Horned Barbarian Monsters. He had just started using the gene potion not long ago, so he was far from being able to unleash his full potential. When he fought alongside Hugo, he felt more than once that the other party was at ease, while he himself was powerless.
Nevertheless …
Josiah gritted his teeth and persevered.
He knew that this kind of training between life and death was the best way to grow.
As long as he could return to the surface alive, he was sure that he would improve by leaps and bounds, just like how Fox and Enoko Kazama had returned from Purgatory. The Fox from the trip to the Death Canyon was not his match at all, and Enoko Kazama was even weaker. However, after returning from Purgatory, compared to them, it could be said that he could not even catch up to them. He, who had been stagnating, did not know how far he had been left behind by the other party!
David laughed heartily at Hugo and Josiah teaming up against him.
He did not care.
So what if Mr. Wood could break out of the encirclement?
To be honest, David really did not mind seeing a battered and battered Mr. Wood appear in front of him!
"God be with me, forward, forward, forward!" The Guardian Knights shouted their chants and formed an unstoppable steel wall, charging at the entrance of the canyon with a rumble. Following closely behind, the Cardinal Deacons, the Salesian Association, the Hermit Order, the Nun Holy Way Association, the Sacred Way Association and other exploration teams immediately followed. Other than a few people from the Hermit Order and the Hermit Order who symbolically stayed behind to hold the line with Lin Dong, most of the troops still advanced with the Eden Army. They stayed at the entrance of the canyon without a word of complaint, moving boulders to build a stone wall, ready to defend against the enemy.
"Those whose combat strength is lower than 10 points will be led by their respective captains into the canyon. Those whose combat strength is higher than 10 points will stay behind to defend against the enemy!" Thomas now used the set of standards set by Lin Dong to evaluate the combat strength of his subordinates. The evaluation system that could not keep up with the times had been completely abandoned.
However, they could not use the measuring bracelet to measure everyone's combat strength.
They could only use the overall value to compare.
The measurement value of a small group of people.
As a standard.
Then they would use this to make a comprehensive evaluation of all the groups of combatants in America.
In Josiah's eyes, the overall combat strength of the combatants in America was slightly overstated. Mr. Wood's measuring bracelet would indeed overlook many things, but the measurement value was stricter and more accurate.
"It's still far from time to rest! Where's your discipline? How can you put down your weapons without orders from your superiors? " Josiah realized that the exploration team that had rushed into the Long Rock Canyon were looking for a place to rest and was instantly enraged. He did not care if these people were his subordinates or not, and immediately roared at them, "Don't just stand there like idiots. Don't you have hands? Move the boulders! If the Long-Horned Barbarian Monsters attack, any one of you might be torn to pieces by them! Split half of your men to guard the surroundings, and the other half to move the boulders to form a second line of defense! You will rotate after half an hour. I don't know if you are mentally prepared, but I want to tell you that if you think you are safe here, you are gravely mistaken! "
"We will move immediately!" An exploration team member who belonged to God's Eye quickly replied loudly, deeply afraid that this' governor 'who killed people like flies would take their heads out of anger.
"Quick, quick, quick!" Josiah waved his hand, "Don't forget, there are still more than 4,000 Long-Horned Barbarian Monsters surrounding Mr. Wood!"
"Yes!" The exploration team member heard this and felt a lingering fear.
If Mr. Wood had broken through, there would definitely be a large group of monsters following behind him.
If they were to break through the first line of defense, the exploration team that had not built the second line of defense would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Hugo's expression was grave when he saw the Long-Horned Barbarian Monsters following closely behind the exploration team. He suddenly realized that these Long-Horned Barbarian Monsters might have intentionally allowed everyone to break through.
If they fought head-on.
Both sides would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and the winner would also be a pyrrhic victory.
But if they let some of the enemies break through, and then continued to harass them along the way, so that the enemies could not gather their strength to fight back, this was undoubtedly a good strategy!
Perhaps the Long-Horned Barbarian Monsters did not know what was called the tactic of exhausting the enemy, and did not know what was called the tactic of harassment, but they were born to use it. The survival of the fittest had forged their instincts, which was how to more efficiently hunt the enemy and obtain food.
The entrance of the Long Rock Canyon was relatively narrow, only less than 40 meters.
But even with this small distance.
To build a line of defense, it would be a massive project.
More importantly, the Long-Horned Barbarian Monsters would definitely not allow this line of defense to be built easily. They would use all kinds of methods to harass and attack the line of defense.
"Is there any movement from Mr. Wood's side?" The Silver Spoon Wise Man Jehan walked to Bord's side and softly asked Bord, who had been observing the rear, "When we broke through about five kilometers, I faintly heard them fighting. It's been almost three hours now, they should have finished the battle long ago! Could it be that Mr. Wood could not bear to leave his companions and continue to hold on? "
"It's possible!" Bord nodded. "But I don't think he can't break through!"
"Mr. Bord, there are more than 4,000 Long-Horned Barbarian Monsters, not 4,000 pigs. Even if there were 4,000 pigs, Mr. Wood would not be able to kill them all at once!" David disagreed. If they could really break through, they would have caught up long ago. How could they wait until now without making a sound!
"David, you're right!" Bord smiled slightly. He was not moved by David's provocative words at all. Instead, he was modest and polite. "I personally agree with you. When 4,000 Long-Horned Barbarian Monsters gather together, it's a terrifying force. Quantity can often lead to qualitative changes. But Mr. Wood rarely does things that he is not confident in. This point cannot be ignored! "
"Haha, then let us wait patiently!" David laughed. I'm afraid you won't be able to see that legendary young man.
"Eh? It's raining! "The Silver Spoon Wise Man Jehan stretched out his hand, and a drop of rain fell on his palm.
"…" Bord's expression was slightly gloomy, without any joy.
"This rain is a little late, but I think since it's raining, they should be able to break through safely!" David secretly cursed his luck. If it didn't rain, the Long-Horned Barbarian Monsters that were afraid of the rain would continue to surround the special forces, the Dark Temple, and the Eastern European Grand Alliance. Now that it was raining, they might be able to escape with the help of the rain.
"It's raining here, but it doesn't mean it's raining 50 kilometers away." Bord shook his head. "The rain may be annoying to the Long-Horned Barbarian Monsters that don't like the rain, but it's not a good thing for us either! The rain will block our vision and affect our hearing. Most importantly, some creatures that like the rain may hear about it and come here! In Death Canyon, we had a very painful experience. Our researchers could be said to have been defeated by a sudden rain! "
"As long as the rain can make the Long-Horned Barbarian Monsters keep their arrogance, I don't think it's a bad thing!" David found that the Long-Horned Barbarian Monsters were shaking unhappily in the rain. Some of them simply hid under the rock walls and huddled together. Only a few of them still insisted on staying at the entrance of the canyon and refused to give up easily.
"There's something in the sky!" Bloody Mary slid down from the top of the high rock wall. She looked at the Silver Spoon Wise Man Jehan. "What is that?"
"What?" The Silver Spoon Wise Man Jehan was stunned.
"You don't know?" Bloody Mary was suspicious of his reaction.
"Mary, I really don't know. There are too many monsters in the sky, and we can't distinguish them one by one! What did you see just now? "The Silver Spoon Wise Man Jehan asked.
"Some black shadows that can fly. I can't see their specific shapes. They look like eagles, but they also look like other creatures. But they are very big. They are not ordinary eagles or birds. I suspect that there is something in the sky following us. It's not until the rain that I realized they have been hiding behind us. These things, what is their relationship with the Long-Horned Barbarian Monsters? Symbiotic relationship? Master and servant relationship? I don't think they are just passing by, and I don't think they are harmless! I think they are intelligent creatures, and they are very good at disguising themselves! Sir Jehan, I hope you can tell us what you know. We are teammates now, and in a crisis, I have the right to know the truth! "Bloody Mary pressed the Silver Spoon Wise Man Jehan.
"I really want to give you an answer, but I can't tell you what the truth is!" The Silver Spoon Wise Man Jehan sighed. "My knowledge is limited. If you are willing, I can accompany you to see Archbishop Nero, or other people who know about it!"
"No need. Since you don't know the truth, I will find the answer myself!" Bloody Mary looked at the Silver Spoon Wise Man Jehan coldly.
She turned into a phantom.
Disappeared.
On the other side of the stone wall, Hugo looked at the soles of his feet in shock …
