After eavesdropping for a while to get a general understanding of the situation, Jock returned to the bed and discussed with Wang Jiang.
Silverfall Town was his destination, but once he arrived and was surrounded by an army of beetles, it would be difficult to figure it out.
Even if he was confident that the speed of wheel D would definitely be faster than the flight or attack speed of the beetle, this was still a risk that could not be ignored.
Recalling the wounded man whose abdomen was penetrated with a hole the size of a bowl, Jock could not guarantee that he would not die on the spot after suffering such an injury.
"Then let's run away now. We have nothing to do with the people in Silver Falls Town anyway."
Wang Jiang, who had a thorough understanding of the risks of this matter, suggested: "With this group of people to remind us, Yinpu Town can take precautions in advance. As for who wins or loses... we don't need to get involved in the dispute between the two sides, right?" ?"
Jock agreed with this analysis. Judging from the tone of the leader downstairs, they would probably march to Silver Falls overnight. The innkeepers who had been informed of the risk would definitely not be joking with their own lives.
There are still three phantom demon threats to deal with in the human world, and Jock can only stay here for about two days at most.
In front of the beetle's organized army, the impact that a mere individual can have is minimal. Since it can't be of much help, it is better not to be involved in it from the beginning to avoid being unable to escape in time.
But Jock thought of the group of wounded men who didn't look like they could take part in the long journey.
But since we can lead them to escape from the beetle army, I guess the insect swarm must not be traveling very fast?
"What you said does make sense, but I have an idea."
Jock thought for a moment and organized his words: "Should we try to block the swarm's army and give this group of people more time to escape?"
"???" Wang Jiang frowned, "Qiaoqiao, you should be awake, right? Why don't you wash your face?"
"I am very clear-headed and I think there are three reasons why it is necessary to help them."
"First, Seahorse Paradise is in Silver Falls Town. In order to get their assistance in the foreseeable future, it is a mutually beneficial choice to help them first."
"Second, the longer the insect swarm is delayed, the more prepared Silverfall Town will be. The survival rate of this group of people, especially the wounded, will be greatly improved."
"Third, I've never seen a bug bigger than a house in my life! Don't you want to see a super cool insect army up close?"
The picture of the poor dagger belongs to it.
Wang Jiang was silent for a long time, not knowing how to persuade his master.
The first two reasons can be analyzed and dismissed emotionally and rationally, but the third reason... wanting to see giant insects is his only purpose! ?
How to persuade? There is no way to persuade this!
"Don't worry, Wang Jiang. I will only jump horizontally repeatedly within a safe range. If the situation goes wrong, I will definitely run away."
…
After that, they discussed some details and made sure everything was safe. Jock and Wang Jiang went downstairs to find the leader of the suspected mercenaries, a capable man who called himself Ralph.
"So, you are the mage from Endymion?"
After Jock introduced himself as "I am a traveling mage who graduated from the Magic Academy, I hope to understand the situation" and showed the fake Magic Book of Ice and Fire, Ralph's tightly frowning brows relaxed a lot.
The fear of facing the insect army has been firmly engraved in his heart. He knows that his group of people cannot compete with them once they encounter them. Any help at this time can improve their chances of survival.
The most important thing is that according to legend, Endymion's wizards are all good at casting spells. The "magic stones" they hold can store a large amount of magic power, so they can often play a more powerful and lasting role than ordinary wizards. .
"No wonder we found gorgeous equipment outside that we had never seen before when we came. It must be technology from the Magic City."
After a few polite words, Ralph told them the story and details of the attack on their group.
At first, no one could predict this change.
The Red Sun mercenary group organized by Ralph was suddenly attacked on its way back from a mission to escort the secret treasure.
The first was a surprise attack from the air. Dozens of Zerg riding giant moths dropped dense fire glue, explosive bombs and torches, catching the mercenary group off guard and dividing it into three battlefields on the spot.
Then the Zerg team flying in on giant peaks and ladybugs kept shuttling and cutting in the fire, completely suppressing the chaotic mercenary group in just a moment.
If it hadn't been for the sudden reversal of the wind direction that ignited a fire on the plain, and the desperate efforts of a dozen good brothers to cut off their rear, they wouldn't even have had a chance to escape.
Before running away, Ralph looked back and took a look in the firelight——
It was a black army of insects.
Those who came to attack their mercenary group were just relatively fast flying troops, but behind them there were more infantry and cavalry, as well as beetles that were bigger than buildings and could not be called war weapons!
"Have you heard about this group of Zerg before?" After listening to Ralph's memories, Jock couldn't help but ask, "Why does it feel like you are seeing them for the first time."
"This is the first time. If I know that there is such a Zerg army nearby, I will not go near the forest even if I die!"
Ralph shouted unwillingly: "We have lost more than a dozen people! The mercenary group that we have worked hard to build for the first half of our life is just like this..."
At this time, Wang Jiang pushed Jiao Ke, indicating that he should quickly turn the topic back to business.
"So Mr. Ralph, based on your description, can I assume that the insect army that attacked you is an organized army that includes infantry, cavalry, engineers, and flying arms?"
Ralph said angrily: "Yes, this is simply unreasonable! Well, this..."
"Jian Jiang Holmes." Only then did Jiao Ke introduce himself to his family, "This jackal is my magic pet, and its name is Xiao Lin."
Wang Jiang: It was just a last-minute idea. Can't you give me a serious name? It sounds unlucky, I always feel like I will be sacrificed to heaven when I turn around.
In fact, Wang Jiang's name is even more unknown... Ignoring Wang Jiang's complaints through spiritual communication, Jiao Ke continued to ask about the status of this insect army.
"Then how fast are they traveling? Is it possible to send flying troops to hunt you down first?"
"I don't know, no one knows anything about them." Ralph shook his head helplessly, saying that he didn't know either, "I just came to take a rest while running for my life, and by the way, I informed you of the situation so that you can run away as well. That’s all.”
Not long after, the mercenary group finally took some people from the inn on the road after finishing their rest.
But before they left, Jock told them that as Endymion's mage, he would definitely fight against the swarm to delay them.
After receiving a lot of gratitude, Jock also rode the D wheel and slowly left in the direction he came from.
