Shen Yun, who walked out of the marshal's tent, stretched hard and exhaled a breath of relief. Then he turned to Laurent who followed him out and said, "I didn't expect the marshal actually agreed to this plan."
"The situation is urgent, and your method is indeed worth a try. If we have to use the consumption of soldiers to deal with those thin monkeys, the price we have to pay is really not something we can bear. Although there are still many problems with your plan, but in case If it succeeds, it will greatly alleviate the unfavorable situation at hand. The marshal will not fail to consider it." Laurent nodded, then patted Shen Yun and said: "Okay, this operation is a blessing to you, go back and rest first. Take a good rest. Get some sleep and I’ll make two delicious dishes later tonight!”
Laurent had other things to do, so he let Shen Yun and the others take a good rest before turning around and leaving. Shen Yun and the other three were also extremely tired at this time and were really in no mood to chat, so they walked directly to the camp where the guards lived. .Then Verla went to the female soldiers' barracks to rest, while Shen Yun and Sean opened the curtains and threw themselves on the bed. As soon as their heads hit the pillow, they immediately fell asleep.
When Shen Yun woke up, it was already pitch black outside the tent. It was not yet noon when they returned to the camp, so it seemed that Shen Yun had slept for most of the day. There was no one else in the barracks at this time. Except for Shen Yun, all the other beds were empty, and the quilts were piled messily on the bed. Obviously Shen Yun was the last one to wake up.
Yawning, Shen Yun opened the curtain and saw at a glance the people sitting not far from the door of the barracks. He saw them sitting loosely in front of a small bonfire, each filled with food. The iron boxes were placed randomly on the ground. From time to time, a group of people took some food from the iron boxes in front of them and put them in their mouths, but they kept talking to the people around them. Except Shen Yun, who was in the barracks In addition to the soldiers, there were also members of the Guards from several other barracks. Several fierce-looking female warriors were chatting away, and their bold posture was no worse than that of the rough men next to them.
"Ayun, here!"
Chen Yun, who had just woken up, was a little dizzy from the noise from several loud voices. When he was about to pick out his ears with his fingers, he heard a warm greeting coming from the side. He turned around and saw that it was Card Xiu and Ivey. , and next to the voices of the two people, Sean and Kitten Girl sat quietly, each eating something.
Cat Girl was originally sitting between Sean and Card Xiu. When she saw Shen Yun coming over, she stepped aside slightly, leaving a space between her and Card Xiu. Shen Yun sat down and moved his body when he sat down. He lightly rubbed against Kitten Girl's thigh a few times, but it made both of them look a little weird.
"Why are everyone gathered here?" In order to divert his attention, Chen Yun coughed twice and took the initiative to find a topic.
"Everyone woke up at about the same time, and had no intention of doing anything else for a while. It happened that someone brought food at that time, so someone suggested that we all sit here together and just chat and relieve our boredom." Card Xiu grabbed a hand in front of him. A roasted and oily animal leg in the iron box took a hard bite and said while chewing.
"Oh..." Chen Yun nodded, and suddenly felt a soft object leaning against his leg. Glancing slightly from the corner of his eyes, he found that Kitten Girl was lowering her head and biting the fruit in her hand. Can't see the expression clearly.
"Speaking of which, although this mission was successful, the losses were quite considerable..." After chewing the animal leg in his hand in one breath, Card Xiu stretched out his hand to wipe his mouth and suddenly sighed.
Shen Yun was stunned, shook his head and said nothing.
Although many strong men from other organizations were temporarily gathered for this mission, the main body of the team was still the Marshal's Guard. Not to mention the experts who were transferred, only 43 people sent by the Marshal's Guard came back alive this time. There are only 31 of them, and all six mages among them were killed in battle. Such losses are huge for the already small Guards. In order to maintain the normal establishment of the Guards, I'm afraid Laurent will need to recruit some more in the near future. New member.
"By the way Sean, the situation was so urgent that I didn't have time to ask. How did you break through the water wall in the passage?" Ivy had been eating beside him just now. He burped and suddenly thought of something. Sean asked.
Sean shook his head. He didn't know much about this, but he just tried it after everyone else tried it. Who knew there would be such a big change.
"Maybe it has something to do with that sword." Shen Yun thought for a while and said: "The rapier of Bingkuan was given by our dean. It was originally a fallen angel accessory. Later, it was damaged and was picked up and reforged by our dean. For a moment, it became like this. Maybe that wall can only be opened by dark creatures, and this sword also has the dark elemental power of the fallen angel, so it caused a misjudgment."
"It makes sense." Ivey and Cardiff nodded repeatedly, with astonished expressions on their faces: "I remember that when we were in the hall later, those skinny monkeys didn't dare to attack Sean at all. Maybe it was for this reason."
"Maybe." Shen Yun was noncommittal. Although he said so, he actually didn't believe this reason himself.
Compared to other warriors, Shen Yun has spent more time with Sean. With his extremely keen perception, he has long been aware of the changes in Sean since the Holy War. In his perception, Sean's elemental power is slowly changing. The transformation from "wind" to "dark", although this change is not obvious yet, even as long as there is no complete transformation, Sean can show it to the outside world as the wind element. But one day, quantitative changes will accumulate to qualitative changes, and to At that time, Sean's attributes will completely transform into dark attributes, which can no longer be concealed.
Shen Yun didn't know if this would be a problem, but there was always some inexplicable worry in his heart.
Dark attributes are different from light attributes. Although they are relatively rare, there are occasionally a few dark attribute individuals among mainland creatures. But Sean's situation is completely different!
Transforming one existing attribute into another is completely different from being born with a certain attribute. Combined with Sean's special liking for this rapier and his ability to narrowly defeat level 10 after getting the rapier The fact that he was a warrior, and the various anomalies shown by Sean during this mission, Shen Yun had a very bad guess in his mind. He didn't even dare to tell others about this guess, just in case something happened. What irreparable consequences will result from being guessed by myself...
"I hope it's just my imagination..." Shen Yun shook his head and didn't think about it anymore, but he had already decided to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Sean.
The situation on the front line is getting increasingly tense, but Shen Yun's life has returned to normal. In addition to the daily work of the Marshal's Guards, Shen Yun and Kitty Girl hang out in the military camp as usual every day. Sean seems to have some insights during this time, not all day long. Practicing skills at the training ground means just thinking hard alone in the barracks, which makes Shen Yun and Vierla seem a little unprofessional.
Shen Yun has been to the front line a lot more recently. Sometimes he goes to chat with that idiot in Aruba, and more often he stands behind the front line fortifications to observe the situation. Since that mission, the offensive of the dark creatures has been obvious. It has been intensified a lot. The large-scale invasion that was stopped after occupying the original base of the Blue Water Army was also launched in the past two days. However, I don’t know why the dark creatures did not send out the Slender Monkey Army. Therefore, the total number in that attack was tens of thousands. The two sides of the human confrontation just tested each other, and it ended after each dropped a thousand corpses. It felt like an anticlimax.
Even so, Reptanton paid great attention to that battle. In a casual conversation, he told Shen Yun that in his expectation, the dark creatures would attack with all their strength soon, and if he hadn't been able to do so at that time, Be prepared to deal with the Slender Monkey, and if you have no choice but to use human lives to fill it. Of course, the most important thing is that even if you use human lives to fill it, they may not be able to fill it in their estimation.
"I have arranged for someone to pick up the person you mentioned, and the required magic crystals are also being prepared. I hope this time I can really use the props you mentioned to solve the problem!" Reptanton looked a little tired. Not only the situation on the front line, but also the news coming out of the imperial capital made him a little uneasy.
"I will!" Shen Yun comforted.
…
The fat man hasn't arrived yet, and neither has the magic crystal, but the dark creatures have already arrived first.
On the tenth day after Shen Yun and others returned to the camp, the dark creatures two kilometers away from the Blue Water Corps suddenly launched a full-scale attack. There was no reserve team or formation, and all the dark creatures rushed towards the Blue Water position without reservation. . Tens of thousands of dark creatures gathered together and ran, and the earth never stopped trembling from the moment they took their first step. The sky-high black mist and almost substantial dark elements condensed in mid-air, making these countless monsters seem to be transformed into It opened its ferocious mouth as a whole and bit hard at the blue water army.
It can be seen that this attack is completely different from the previous one. Especially the shadow of the fallen angel faintly appears behind the army of dark creatures, obviously preparing to take down the blue water army in one go!
Reptanton received the report as soon as the dark creature launched its attack. When he led all his guards to appear at the gate of the camp, the first wave of confrontation on the front line was about to begin.
"Chen Yun, can you see where the thin monkey is?" Reptanton's face showed no signs of calming down, and he asked calmly to Shen Yun, who was standing quietly next to him.
Chen Yun blessed himself with keen perception, and then glanced around. When he saw a place, his eyes suddenly lit up and pointed: "There! Mixed in a group of fishy apes!" The fishy ape is a kind of ape with the head of a human and the body of an ape. The short monster is somewhat similar to the skinny monkey in appearance. The dark creature combines the two of them, which can have a good concealment effect.
Reptanton looked in the direction of Shen Yun's finger and found the trace of Slender Monkey. He couldn't help but praise: "Laurent said you have great eyesight, and it's true!" He could see the target even from a distance. , but quickly finding traces of the thin monkey among these tens of thousands of creatures is not his specialty.
After thinking for a while, Reptanton took out a roll-shaped prop from his arms and said in a deep voice to the opening: "The magician group begins to prepare group killing magic, target position three, and launch it in 35 seconds. Remember, there is Give me as much power as you can, don’t be stingy with energy!”
"yes!"
The first row of dark creatures finally approached the fortifications. Under the control of countless ordinary soldiers, the standard props glowed with various colors, and the waves flashed quickly in mid-air, hitting the opponent hard.
