Chapter 1318 Elite Troops Suddenly Appeared!
Perhaps because of their absolute confidence in the defense of the City of Divine Punishment, or perhaps because of Chu Xun and others' special status as "reinforcements", in short, Chu Xun and others left the City of Divine Punishment without any hindrance.
The restriction of the City of Divine Punishment is extremely powerful, not only covering the City of Divine Punishment itself, but also covering the area thousands of kilometers in front of the City of Divine Punishment. However, the farther away from the City of Divine Punishment, the weaker the power of the restriction.
Of course, a distance of thousands of kilometers is far for ordinary people, but it is nothing for Chu Xun and others who are rushing at full speed. After running all the way, Chu Xun and others soon left the protection range of the restriction and came to the real war zone.
And as the power of the restriction disappeared, the strong smell of sulfur and the strong high temperature in the air also followed. In addition, there were strong smells of blood and burnt smells mixed in the sulfur smell, making the air extremely unpleasant.
"It looks like a lot of people died ahead..."
Chu Xun and his companions, who had fought their way out of the sea of blood and corpses in the end times, were very familiar with this bloody and burnt smell. So after smelling this smell, Chu Xun and his companions frowned slightly.
Judging from the intensity of the bloody smell, there should have been a brutal battle or massacre ahead of them, and the death toll was definitely not small.
Thinking of this, Chu Xun and his companions also sped up and continued to move forward along the strong smell of blood.
Sure enough, as they continued to move forward, the traces of the battle on the road became more and more obvious, and a large number of corpses began to appear along the way.
These corpses had obviously experienced a tragic war before their death, and they were basically incomplete and horrible.
At this moment, a large number of corpse fragments of various shapes piled up together, like a small mountain, and the blood that flowed out also gathered together, turning into sticky plasma all over the messy battlefield. At a glance, it looked like there were several more rivers of blood.
"The blood hasn't dried up yet. It looks like the battle just ended not long ago."
Looking at the sticky plasma on the ground and the incomplete body fragments, Tian Yun frowned slightly, and then asked in a concentrated voice: "And judging from the physical features of these corpses, as well as the weapons and armor fragments they used, these corpses are likely to be the vanguard troops sent by the City of Divine Punishment to clean up the general attack route when the war horn sounded before."
Speaking of this, Tian Yun gently kicked a hideous and terrifying head with two twisted horns on his head, and then continued: "Look, there are not only human corpses here, but also more corpses of demon creatures. Judging from the direction of the spread of these corpses and battle traces, these people should still be moving forward and fighting."
Soon after they entered the City of Divine Punishment, they heard the war horn. The sound of the war horn also proved that the City of Divine Punishment launched an attack on the demons outside the city. Combined with the time they heard the horn, the distance to here, and the drying of the blood on the ground, there is no doubt that these corpses belong to that combat unit.
As for the demon creatures on the ground, they were naturally killed by this combat unit.
"Look at the direction, this unit is also heading to the Flame River. Let's go, let's help them!"
Although Chu Xun is not a good guy, he still doesn't mind helping these combat units in this situation.
After all, their direction of advance is also the Flame River. Even without this combat unit, they will sooner or later clash with the demon creatures along the way. What's more, with their strength, it won't take them much time to deal with ordinary demons and demon creatures.
"Speed up, catch up with them, and then fight quickly!"
Hearing Chu Xun's words, Zhou Yulong and others had no objection. Afterwards, everyone also sped up and continued to move forward along the traces of the battle on the ground.
However, what Chu Xun and others did not expect was that as they moved forward, there were more and more corpses on the road, piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers, but there were fewer and fewer human corpses, and most of the corpses belonged to demon creatures. Even later, there were no more human corpses among these corpses, and only a large number of incomplete demon remains were left.
Seeing these traces on the battlefield, Chu Xun and others were also stunned and felt surprised.
Logically speaking, as the distance from the City of Divine Punishment increased, the number of battles increased, and the strength of this unit should be continuously weakened by a large number of demons, and the casualties became heavier. How come we can no longer see human corpses on the way, but only the remains of those demon creatures?
And judging from the traces on the battlefield and the degree of damage to the remains of these demon creatures, they seemed to be completely killed by some huge and terrible force, so that it was difficult to see other traces of battle on the battlefield except for those huge bombardment traces.
Could it be that this combat unit used some powerful trump card?
Or did they get the help of some powerful people?
Thinking of this, Chu Xun and others became more and more curious, speeded up, and continued to chase forward.
The speed of Chu Xun and others was naturally not comparable to that of ordinary combatants. Even if this combat unit left the city earlier than Chu Xun and others, Chu Xun and others did not spend too much time to finally catch up with this unit.
However, what surprised Chu Xun and others was that this army was not as strong as they imagined. Although the number of this army was large and it was almost impossible to see the end of this army at a glance, the number was at least more than 100,000. But according to Chu Xun and others' perception, the strength of almost most of the people in this army was between the heavenly level and the god level, and there were even less than a hundred people who exceeded the god level.
Of course, the combat force composed of more than 100,000 heavenly strongmen and nearly 100 god-level strongmen was naturally not weak. In addition, most of them exuded a sacred and bright aura, and they obviously practiced the inheritance of the angel lineage, so this army also had a very strong combat power when facing demons.
But in the eyes of Chu Xun and others, although the strength of this army was okay, it was absolutely impossible for them to easily slaughter so many demon creatures along the way, and their own damage was minimal, or even unscathed.
"Who is it?"
"Be alert!"
"Battle formation!"
...
Chu Xun and others did not hide their own tracks, so when Chu Xun and others caught up, those warriors also discovered them. Then, amidst the shouts, the holy mages in white robes and holding staffs, and the paladins in heavy armor and holding heavy swords, giant shields, or maces, scepters and other weapons, all became alert.
At the same time, several angels with wings on their backs also rushed over with dozens of holy mages and paladins with god-level strength, surrounding Chu Xun and others.
However, when they found that Chu Xun and others were not demons, but humans, they were obviously relieved. The two-winged angel at the head stared at Chu Xun and others, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you? Don't you know how dangerous it is to leave the City of God's Punishment and act privately? Now that the demons along the way have just been cleared by the adults, it is still safe along the way. You should return to the City of God's Punishment as soon as possible."
Speaking of this, the angel paused slightly, and then continued: "Of course, if you also want to purify those demons, you can also join our battle team and fight with us. But in the process of fighting, you must follow the command to avoid unnecessary sacrifices."
In the eyes of this angel, Chu Xun and others are just a group of god-level powerhouses. Although these dozen god-level powerhouses are a strong force, if they act privately outside the City of God's Punishment, they will also be in great danger. So he persuaded Chu Xun and others to let them go back first, or simply join this team and fight together.
"My lords?"
However, Chu Xun frowned when he heard the words of the angel.
According to the angel, most of the demons along the way were cleared by the "my lords" he mentioned. Combined with the traces of battles along the way and the changes in the proportion of corpses, Chu Xun can now basically infer that there should be a powerful elite force, just like them, who left the city shortly after the combat force left the city.
In the process of rushing, the elite force not only caught up with the team in front of them, but also helped them to clean up the demon creatures along the way.
This is not surprising, after all, they just wanted to do this.
It is precisely because of this that the human corpses on the way will change from more to less, and finally disappear completely, and the traces of battle have also changed.
Thinking of this, Chu Xun's heart suddenly moved.
At this moment, he did not see any real strong men in this army, but there was still a strong smell of blood in front, and there were many corpses along the way. This means that after catching up with this army and cleaning up the demons along the way, the elite force did not stop, but continued to move forward.
Judging from the direction of this advance, if nothing unexpected happens, this army should be heading to the Long River of Flame!
Could it be that this army's goal is the same as theirs, which is to obtain the Sword of the Horadrim in the River of Fire?
