Chapter 1163 Discovery
Now go back a little bit in time...
The cold wind was rustling. In a camp dozens of miles south of the swamp and rainforest, the expeditionary army headed by Zhang William was resting here.
The location of the camp was very secluded, next to a hill, and they were hiding in the belly of the hill, almost perfectly covering their position.
And it is precisely because of this that they, who are hiding in the mountains, are basically unaware of what happened dozens of miles away.
The next morning, Zhang William took the siege army to the periphery of the swamp rainforest again.
The giant eagle knights flew ahead to explore the way, and below, the six thousand infantrymen held their rifles, kept vigilant, and began to go deep into the swamp rainforest step by step.
After walking down a section of the road, ignoring the dangers of the swamp and rainforest itself, the soldiers of the expedition army were not attacked by any accident, which made Zhang William frown slightly.
"Strange, why is it so quiet? The flying unit on the opposite side should not be dead. We have all gone deep into this position now, why is there no movement at all?"
Thoughts flew in Zhang William's mind, and the whole person was completely in doubt.
"Is it lying in ambush somewhere, waiting to shade me?"
As his thoughts flew around, Zhang William beckoned and called the giant eagle knight who was in charge of the order.
"The order goes on, everyone should be vigilant, and be careful of the ambush attack of the enemy Lizardmen."
"Yes!"
The giant eagle knight who responded quickly flew down.
During this period, Kalgan, the leader of the Giant Eagle Knight, also flew over.
"Kalgan, did you find anything unusual?"
"Reporting to the elf king, there is nothing abnormal, and even up to now, we have not even seen the shadow of a lizard man."
Kalgan, who said this, also had some doubts in his expression. Obviously, he, like William Zhang, felt very strange about this situation.
"Kalgan, do you think those lizardmen knew that they couldn't beat us, so the whole clan fled?"
If the lizardmen want to escape, Zhang William doesn't really care.
On the one hand, it is because the purpose of his wave is to ensure the safety of this swamp and rainforest. If the lizardmen are gone, then this swamp and rainforest will naturally be peaceful, and their future waterways of the civilization of all worlds can also be secured. .
On the other hand, the reason is that the lizard people can't escape at all. In such a day's work, where can they go with just two legs? It is impossible to escape the search of their giant eagle knights.
To some extent, running away was a foolish decision.
You stick to the swamp and rainforest, and you still have the advantage of terrain. If you run outside, you can't escape, and you can't beat it. You're just asking for a dead end.
"Go on, I want a clear answer."
Before turning this swampy rainforest upside down, no one could be 100% sure that the lizardmen really escaped.
And so, the search continues.
The infantrymen located in the swamp and rainforest have received long-term strict training. At this moment, facing this harsh environment, they have shown their professional qualities. After a short period of adaptation, they searched Efficiency was quickly improved.
Gradually, as they approached the depths of the swamp and rainforest, a smell that was definitely not unfamiliar to them quickly penetrated into their nostrils.
The infantrymen who smelled this smell changed their expressions, and then rushed a few steps quickly.
The next moment, what caught their eyes was a large number of corpses!
"Everyone stay vigilant!"
In the sound of the reminder, the infantrymen held their rifles, their fingers were already on the trigger, and they slowly approached while being alert to the possible enemies around.
If they guessed correctly, this is probably the camp of the Lizardmen clan, because they saw many tent-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 vigilant about the surrounding area, and the third team conducts an area search."
With the development of the Wanjie Civilization's military power in the past few years, Luo Ji spent some time to re-formulate the military's military rank system. At the same time, he also distributed new military uniforms to ordinary soldiers.
After quickly completing the task, the lieutenant slowly approached one of the corpses with a rifle and a pair of field boots.
Judging from the appearance, it was basically the lizardmen who didn't run away.
And the wounds on these corpses were not caused by firearms...
Just when the lieutenant thought so, Ysera, who was flying in the air, slowly landed.
Seeing this, the lieutenant quickly ran over, and then gave a military salute to Zhang William who jumped from the dragon's head.
While Zhang William nodded, his gaze swept across the military badge on the officer's shoulder, one bar and two stars, and he immediately knew it.
"Lieutenant, how is the situation here confirmed?"
While speaking, Zhang William's eyes swept across the corpses all over the floor, and his eyebrows unconsciously twisted into a ball. Judging from the situation, there are variables.
"Lord Elf King, some of the fatal wounds on these lizardmen were caused by cold weapons, while others looked like claw marks. Looking at this battle, it may have been done by other orc tribes."
Just as the lieutenant was saying this, a soldier ran over quickly and told them that there was a new discovery over there.
Hearing this, Zhang William quickly followed.
In addition to the corpses of a large number of lizardmen, they also found a large number of other strange corpses in this camp.
After approaching, Zhang William subconsciously rubbed his nose. The stench from these corpses was more pungent than those of the lizardmen.
Zhang William tried to find a suitable adjective in his mind to describe this feeling. By the way, the smell was like dead fish that were thrown into the trash can in a fish farm!
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, faint lines like fish scales, facial features, human beings have them, they all have them, but they don't look like humans, and they are connected from the lower jaw to the sides of the neck, and also It has organs that look like fish gills.
Probably due to the long-term dehydration, coupled with the sultry climate in the swamp rainforest, after these guys died, the decay was faster and more thorough than those of the lizardmen.
When Zhang William approached, he could clearly see that there were almost swarms of flying insects flying around the corpse, which was almost disgusting.
"Is this, a murloc?"
