Chapter 26 The Dark Observer

The night wind was bleak, and insects were chirping and crickets were jumping.

Raymond stood motionless on a thick tree trunk, one hand holding the trunk of the tree, and the other on the Falling Moon Blade at his waist.

Next to him stood the tall and strong Tiger Stick, who used his body to protect Raymond, with a faint invisible energy attached to his body, completely hiding the breath of the two.

As for Nanxing and Nanyue, they were lurking on other trees around them, responsible for peripheral alert, quietly clearing possible threats around at any time to ensure Raymond's safety.

"Lord, they are coming."

Not long after, Tiger Stick's low voice sounded in Raymond's ears.

The next second, Raymond found that the leaves and branches in front of him suddenly trembled slightly.

There is no doubt that this is the result of the earth shaking.

Dongdongdong...

Ten seconds later, the uniform heavy footsteps, from far to near, first came into Raymond's ears.

This feeling was like a subwoofer turned to the extreme, shocking.

Before Raymond recovered from the shock, a dense crowd of figures began to appear on a beast road in the distance that was naturally formed by the long-term trampling of monsters and wild beasts.

Noticing this, Raymond, who was looking down from a high place, immediately calmed down, leaned forward slightly, and squinted his eyes.

Due to the night vision function of [The Blessing of the Southern Cross], coupled with Raymond's already good eyesight, as the opponent advanced, he soon had a full view of the army.

Immediately, the collision of metal armor and the mixed sound of heavy footsteps sounded.

The first to appear were rows of heavy infantry with neat steps.

These soldiers with the most burly figures were wearing heavy black armor, fully enclosed black helmets, holding a large shield in one hand and a short knife in the other.

The broad blade of the blade reflected a cold light under the cold moon, which hurt people's eyes.

Behind the heavy infantry were lightly armored infantry holding long spears.

I saw a row of metal spears, shining on the ground under the moonlight, reflecting the main body, and the light and shadow made people feel dizzy.

Further back were archers wearing light armor.

Although these soldiers were protected in the middle of the team.

But the sharp arrows in their quivers left no doubt that they were the most terrifying force in the entire team.

In short, this army was like a deadly giant python coming out of the cave at night, silent, but exuding a huge sense of oppression, as if it could instantly crush everything that blocked it.

"Is this the real army of another world... It's so exciting."

Seeing this, Raymond got goose bumps all over his body.

Looking down at such a shocking and solemn scene, Raymond felt a chill in his heart, and at the same time, he felt more of an irrepressible excitement.

"I wonder when I can command an army of this size?"

At this moment, Caesar's classic quote came to his mind.

This kind of man's romance made Raymond look forward to the future of himself and his territory.

"Lord, the commander of this army is about to appear."

Just when Raymond thought of this, Tiger Stick on the side whispered again.

First nodded to Tiger Stick, Raymond slightly cheered up, squinted his eyes, and continued to observe.

To be able to command such an elite division, this commander must be an extraordinary person.

Sure enough, behind the archers, there appeared another phalanx with stronger momentum.

There were about fifty or sixty soldiers in this group, all wearing special brown heavy armor, surrounding a black-robed man with a hood on horseback.

"Lord, according to my speculation, the black-robed man is the commander of this army. Now it can be confirmed that he is a third-level magician.

And those soldiers in brown armor are the commander's personal guards, all of them are second-level.

As for the total number of this army, it is 2,500."

Then, Tiger Stick spoke in a low voice.

"I see, let's see what the other party wants to do here late at night."

While nodding slightly, Raymond's eyes fell on the black-robed man, looking him up and down.

In this way, after the commander's square of the central army passed, the rear army was still a mixed formation composed of archers, spearmen and heavy infantry.

Next, after marching for a distance, this impressive team finally stopped next to a large open space in the middle of the forest.

This position is just a few dozen meters below Raymond, so his side can clearly observe the other side's every move.

On the clearing in the forest, under the command of the black-robed man, the army quickly began to change its formation.

Still in the order of heavy infantry, spearmen, and archers, they surrounded the empty clearing and began to slowly shrink inward, as if trapping something invisible in the middle.

"What are they going to do? Do they really want to open the barrier?"

Seeing this, Raymond couldn't help but show more curiosity.

Through the previous chat with his subordinates, Raymond clearly understood that the barrier area of ​​this other world was simply an independent special space with a different world in it.

Only high-level magic masters have the ability to open up such a magical area.

In normal times, the entrances and exits of the space will be hidden, and ordinary people cannot detect it at all.

But there is no doubt that it is also possible for a strong man of the same magic system to force it to open and break in.

On the other side, after shrinking a distance, the huge team stopped again.

At the same time, the black-robed man who had dismounted came to the center of the open space, surrounded by layers of personal guards.

Then, the commander took off his black hood and raised the wooden staff in his hand that was emitting a strange glow.

At this time, Raymond, who was only a few dozen meters away from the commander, realized that the other party was not a human at all, but a rough and ferocious half-orc!

"Lord, it seems that the commander is a third-level half-orc shaman." Seeing this scene, Tiger Stick on the side whispered.

"So, this is not a human army?" Hearing this, Raymond immediately showed a look of surprise.

Since all the soldiers in this army were wearing closed helmets, this was undoubtedly beyond his expectations.

"That's right, lord."

Tiger Stick nodded and said softly, "The aura of this army is obviously stronger than that of human armies of the same level, so this is also expected."

"Good fellow, after all this fuss, I, the lord, was the only one kept in the dark."

Shaking his head helplessly, Raymond pouted and continued to observe.
