Chapter 137 Archaeology
"It's the Hilliards!"
"Run, there's the Hillichel King!"
"Where's the tiller? Where's the tiller?"
"The tiller has already reached the top."
"Go back to camp."
In the distance, the fire in the camp was dim, but it became the hope of the advance team.
There are a large number of tilling machines and two heavy machines in the camp. With these technological creations, they don't have to be afraid of the Hilliard King.
After Kanriya's team arrived in Heguan and built the camp, the first thing they did was to arrange for a known elite team to lead two tilling machines to explore the fog.
However, it is obvious that their exploration was not smooth. Due to the abnormality of the Heguan earth veins, the surface here is full of monsters and evil spirits.
Even the number of monsters at the level of Hilliard King should not be underestimated.
Not long after they entered the fog to explore, they encountered a tribe of Hilichurls, and were then driven out by a group of Hilichurls.
And that King Lei Dou of the Hill was chasing .
If there weren't two tilling machines in the team, they might have died long ago.
"Damn it." The knight blew the warning whistle, but the thick fog blocked out the sound .
He blew it and ran towards the camp.
Soon the sound of a sentry whistle was heard from the camp, and the knight finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he continued to rush towards the camp and soon rushed into it.
"What's going on?" asked the Gorgeous Knight.
"We have encountered a large camp of Hillilks, which contains several Hillilk Kings. Currently, the tiller is covering our retreat, and the rest of us should still be in the thick fog. The thick fog is very terribly suppressing light and sound."
At this time, some more knights ran out from the thick fog one after another.
Then there was the sound of running.
Several tillage machines immediately assumed missile-launching postures, and then more than a dozen missiles sank into the thick fog, with bursts of explosions being heard.
The fog was also blown away.
Then the figure of a Hillock Thunder King appeared. Although this Hillock Thunder King looked miserable, it was obvious that he still retained his fighting ability.
Although the dispersal of the fog made the Hillock King Raidu feel a little uncomfortable, it was obvious that such a big noise also allowed the Hillock people to get the signal.
With bursts of roars, one, two, three Hillichel Kings appeared from the thick fog behind the seriously injured Hillichel King.
"How the hell, how could there be such a huge tribe of Hillichells?" The gorgeous knight was very annoyed at this time.
But there is nothing to worry about, because the current military strength of the Hill people is not enough to force the camp with the tiller to retreat.
Then two more voices were heard in the thick fog, and two more Hilliard Kings appeared, but this time each of them was dragging the wreckage of a tiller. Then there were dense footsteps again, and Hilliard crossbowmen, Hilliard shamans and Hilliard thugs also appeared.
"Everyone retreat. The tillers provide cover. The logistics personnel go and start the heavy machines. The scholars prepare the potions. The knights are ready to engage the enemy."
The entire camp was instantly thrown into chaos, and several tilling machines that had already been started were already engaging in combat with the Hilliard Kings.
However, the tilling machines were clearly at a disadvantage until the two heavy machines joined and they regained the upper hand.
Scholars restricted the Hilliard King by throwing water ice potions to produce a freezing reaction.
The knights had already been engaged in close combat with the Hilliard thugs.
Due to the thick fog, no one knew how much time had passed. The hill people retreated after leaving behind the bodies of three hill kings and countless other corpses.
Although the Kanreya camp successfully defended itself, their losses were also very heavy. Eight knights died, and the others were more or less injured. The scholars were better off with only three deaths, one seriously injured and one slightly injured. The casualties of the team of thirty people in total instantly exceeded one-third.
This does not include the loss of tilling machines and heavy machinery. Three of the tilling machines were completely damaged and could not be repaired. The other three tilling machines were successfully repaired after the relevant parts of other tilling machines were removed. One heavy machinery was also damaged, but fortunately one of the scholars in the team knew how to repair it.
But after all, it is not professional, and this heavy machine cannot be considered a complete combat force even after being repaired, because the energy output core was scratched by the crossbow arrows of the Hillilchurls.
Now the archaeological team can only say that they have suffered heavy losses, and this is only three days after they arrived on the island.
The gorgeous knight who was the leader was now so depressed that he was vomiting blood.
"Now I finally understand why this harmonious place is called a forbidden land. Who else but those monsters can survive in such a place?" The Gorgeous Knight complained. "By the way? Where is the adjutant!?"
"The adjutant has died." said a knight.
"You will be my adjutant from now on. Now go and count the losses and distribute the medicines and other things."
"yes."
"The situation with adults' medicines is not optimistic. The reserves are decreasing too quickly, and later treatments will consume a lot of medicines," said the knight.
"Then we'll treat him according to the minimum standard." The Gorgeous Knight said helplessly, "I originally thought we would encounter some ancient monsters, but I didn't expect that a mere camp of hillbillies would cause us such heavy losses."
"Expert, didn't you find anything over there?"
"There are still some." said the expert, pushing up his glasses.
"What's the gain?" The knight was a little curious.
"We probably won't go hungry because the water source and sea level here are normal, and we can temporarily fill our stomachs by fishing and catching crabs."
“……”This is not good news.
"If you're asking me about the ruins or the traces of the previous archaeological teams, I'm sorry we haven't found anything. After all, we haven't conducted any exploration yet."
"Forget it, just rest and recover first." The knight shook his head helplessly.
…
Time flies by, but Inazuma remains eternal.
In the blink of an eye, more than three years have passed.
Today is the day when the [Rock Shadow Lightning Warriors] graduate from Ren Lian Lingyi, but they still have one final assessment before graduation.
If they pass this assessment, Lei Dianying will provide additional help to the four members of [Iwakage Raikou no Shouchou] in applying for the same identity.
If the four of them fail the assessment, they will have to wait for Ren Lian Lingyi to help them apply for the Tongxin identity.
Therefore, the four members of [Iwakage and Thunder Battle] still attached great importance to this assessment.
"What do you think of this [Rock Shadow and Lightning Group]? There is neither rock attribute nor lightning attribute among them." Raiden Zhen had great doubts about Ren Lian Lingyi's naming ability.
"This is perfect, they can hide better." Ren Lian Lingyi said with a grin.
After all, who could have imagined that the so-called [Rock Shadow and Lightning Warriors] didn't even have a single original god with thunder and rock attributes.
