Chapter 312: Chapter 274: Marching into Lisu County_3
The monsters’ roars continually emanated; they had discovered the massive troop on the highway and launched an attack.
“Heavy Angel Envoy, move in, and mind to divide the monsters, group one to the left three, group two to the right two, capture alive!”
Commands constantly rang out, and under their leaders’ guidance, the team steadily repelled the attacks from monsters in the wastelands on both sides of the highway.
The Tree Domain warriors swiftly knocked down the monsters, then the Angel Envoys moved in, their sharp daggers slicing through the bodies of the monsters as they stuffed in parasitic vines.
The monsters were crippled and then half-dead, buried by the roadside, one every thirty or forty ters or so.
Parasitic Corpse Willows were the preferred thod for clearing the route, ensuring the road stayed clear for a long ti without constant fear of lurking monsters.
The Tree Domain warriors were swift, but such operations ant that advancent couldn’t be fast.
“Actually, if we could take Lisu County, the best plan would be to use tunnels, the underground continuation and fortification would ensure better unobstructed passage,”
Yan Tiejun’s deep voice ca through, his gaze profound as he said, “Parasitic Corpse Willows are very useful, but if they’re limited in quantity, using them just to clear paths would be a waste, and their prolonged exposure, especially the placent of Ancient Tree Crystals, might attract even stronger monsters.”
“Let’s see how this operation goes, however, a fifty-plus kiloters tunnel would be considerable work even employing Tree-born Worms and Black Rock Tree Monsters.”
The team progressed slowly, taking over half an hour to advance less than about 10 kiloters.
The pace was slow, but behind the team, a long, bright road was particularly noticeable.
Mist was cleared from the sides of the road as Parasitic Corpse Willows continuously grew, forming dark red willow trees of various sizes; their branches swaying. If monsters startled by the Ancient Tree Crystals tried to infiltrate this road, they were imdiately bound by the vines and killed on the spot.
The team was continuously moving forward, another half hour went by, and they had already reached halfway.
In just over ten kiloters, the entire team was attacked no less than twenty tis, mostly by scattered monsters. However, near the tunnel section, nearly a hundred Giant Bone Birds swooped down.
With sparse feathers and chilling white bones, their fierce eyes were as venomous as wolves.
This group of Giant Bone Birds wasn’t particularly strong; the three leaders were only Second Order, but they were fast and particularly annoying in surprise attacks.
The Sky Cavalry spotted them first and resolved the situation after an aerial combat.
“Report, we’re approaching Suri Service Area.”
“Scout the surroundings, clear out the monsters, rest for an hour, and then have the construction team build fortifications.”
Zhu Xiong relayed the command; the service area was a midpoint on this road and also one of the planned interdiate stations.
Although it was only twenty-three kiloters from South City, this transfer station was very necessary; it could serve as one of the landmarks for Sky Cavalry patrol.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The order had just been relayed when, with ancient tree crystals dropped by the advancing front troops, a horde of monsters surged out, and about two to three hundred roared as they launched an attack.
The Spiritual Energy rifles decisively opened fire while the Angel Envoys swiftly charged in.
Divide, suppress, parasitic vines, and within just a few minutes, the battle was over.
“Many have died.”
Zhao Yaqian’s eyebrows furrowed lightly; the more monsters, the more it sotis indicated that many people might have gathered here before.
Although the service area was far from the city, it still had supplies; many people fleeing the apocalypse, even those still on the highway when the apocalypse struck, the first choice for refuge was here.
But the more people gathered, sotis the more monsters it attracted; if they couldn’t resist, the outco wouldn’t be good.
“Let’s go down and see…”
Zhu Xiong hadn’t finished speaking when sudden, urgent footsteps approached; Zhao Yimin arrived at the Mother Worm formation, yelling across to them, “Found military vehicle and Ard Forces personnel bodies, Captain Zhao and Vice Commander Yan might need to co down and see.”
Hmm?
Su Han looked towards Yan Tiejun but saw he too showed a surprised expression and said in disbelief, “How could the Ard Forces appear here?”
