In the wilderness at night, a five-man lizardman team advanced rapidly along the ruts.
The lizardman in the front suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal. The four lizardmen behind him also stopped and looked around vigilantly. The lizardman captain squatted down and touched the traces on the ground.
This well-trained team is the scouts among the Lizardmen warriors and the most dangerous warriors in the tribe. Only special Lizardmen can be selected as scouts.
Their bodies are longer and more streamlined than those of ordinary lizardmen, which makes them run faster. When running across the wasteland, they only raise a slight amount of dust and leave no footprints.
As scouts, they also used uniform equipment. They wore leather shorts with several small pockets filled with small items and various healing medicines and poisons. Two slightly shorter scimitars hung around their waists, and three slender all-metal javelins were slung on their backs. The tips of the spears were emitting a dark green light and were poisoned, which could kill instantly.
The night will not be an obstacle for scouts. Whether it is the iconic vertical pupils of cold-blooded animals or the forked tongue that can distinguish smells and temperatures, they can make it easier for them to pursue the enemy.
However, the enemy they were chasing this time was different from the past. It was not a normal living creature, which made it a little more difficult. However, the undead were too careless and actually left such deep ruts on the ground. Doesn't this mean that they left obvious clues for them?
The scout captain felt the chaotic ground, which was divided into two tracks. He subconsciously swallowed his tongue twice, distinguishing the remaining smell in the air. He turned his head to look at one of the tracks. There were more, deeper and more obvious tracks. He was sure that these were the tracks left by the undead.
The other rut was shallower, and in that direction, there was warmth and a smell. The undead were a pile of bones, so even if there was a smell, it would be the smell of decay, and there would be no residual warmth. The scout captain determined the direction after a little thought.
He looked up into the distance, then stood up and returned to the main force to report with the four team members behind him.
"Are you sure those are the undead over there?"
After receiving the information from the scouts, Am frowned. He felt that things seemed different from what he expected. The ruts left by the undead were deeper and more numerous than he thought. He also felt another smell in the air, which did not belong to the undead.
In the previous battle, he only saw the undead and did not feel any smell other than the undead. Why was there the smell of other creatures this time? Living in the wilderness, even if he was not a scout, Am had his own set of reconnaissance methods, otherwise how could he be a robber? The depth of the ruts indicated the weight.
The number of wheels has increased, the depth has increased, and the number of undead is greater than before!
"If you are sure that we are chasing the undead, then I will not make a wrong judgment." Even though Am was the leader of this operation, the scout captain spoke bluntly.
The scout has the highest status among the lizardmen warriors. As a temporary leader, don't even think about gaining his respect. If it weren't for the leader's order, he wouldn't even bother to look at Am.
Am didn't care about the scout captain's tone. After a brief thought, he immediately ordered, "Forward, chase the undead."
The scout captain turned around and left after receiving the order. Their scouts would definitely appear at the front of the team, clearing obstacles for the team first and ensuring the team's forward direction.
After the scout team left, the lizardman warrior team began to advance. Compared with the lizardman bandits that Am had brought before, they were more disciplined.
…
After separating from Liu Xingxing, Li Ziyu let the moving castle wander in the wilderness, while constantly releasing undead to scout whether anyone was chasing them. If so, it would be best to confirm which tribe the other party was from.
Soon news came back that there were indeed people following them, and the number was quite large, exceeding the number of undead. As for the race, it was old friends, the Lizardmen.
When Li Ziyu heard that the people chasing him were lizard people, he laughed and said, "Lizard people are good. I like lizard people. They are all good people."
The previous wave of Lizardman bandits really made a lot of contributions to him. Many of the weapons used by the undead until now were still contributed by the Lizardman bandits last time. His own skeleton engine and armor workshop also relied on the great help of the Lizardman bandits.
This is because he knows that his resources are not enough, but he still rushes to donate resources. Thank you for your strong support, and thank you Brother Lizardman!
It doesn't matter if there are a large number of them. He was penniless at the beginning and had to steal weapons to fight them. Now he has upgraded his weapons. Not only do all the undead have weapons, but he also has skeleton warriors. Even if he can't win, he can escape from the battlefield with the speed of the mobile castle.
With the support of the big bone wheels and the small bone wheels, the speed of the moving castle was increased. It can attack or defend. If I can defeat it, I will fight. If I can't defeat it, I will run away. Li Ziyu didn't believe that the lizard man relying on his legs could catch up with him?
The mobile fortress turned and began to circle in the wasteland, the same way as the last time it dealt with the lizardman bandits. It didn't matter if the moves were old, as long as they were useful. It was just the right time to take advantage of this lizardman attack to test the combat effectiveness of the skeleton warriors.
…
The lizardman scouts soon discovered the abnormality of the wheel tracks and told Am about the situation. Am immediately understood what the undead were planning. It was the same thing last time, but unfortunately, the situation was different. Last time he only had a few people, but this time he had 500 lizardman warriors with him!
"Attack and annihilate the undead!" Am felt that the time for revenge had come. He pointed his finger with high spirits and gave orders while screaming.
The team suddenly accelerated, and the lizardmen warriors ran one by one, dispersing to the surroundings according to their familiar combat pattern, like a large hunting net slowly spread out.
Under the moonlight, the moving castle of the undead kept turning and circling on the ground, and an S and a B were pressed out on the ground. The lizardmen warriors could see it clearly with the help of the moonlight and couldn't help but gasp. It was real, there were really undead. The eerie moving fortress in front made all the lizardmen warriors participating in the battle believe what Am said.
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. It is the fault of the undead that they have been reduced to minions. Am blew the bone whistle without hesitation, ordering the warriors to launch an attack.
He no longer cared whether he won or lost this time. Winning would be the best, but losing didn't matter to him. Some lizardmen warriors would escape and bring the news of the undead back to the tribe. Then, everything he said would be proven to be true, and more warriors would join the crusade against the undead. These hundreds of undead would eventually be wiped out by the lizardmen in the wilderness!
As warriors of a large tribe, the lizardmen who came this time were much more ferocious than the lizardmen led by Am before, and their equipment was much better. Not only were they equipped with spears and scimitars, they also wore armor made of animal skins and bones, and their fighting skills were more sophisticated.
After receiving the notification from the bone whistle, the lizardmen warriors launched a charge towards the Undead Mobile Castle under the moonlight.
