"I also didn't expect this fight to start at night."
Gradually walking to the side of the battle line, the voices between Duan Qing and others, who seemed to be chatting with each other, and Asahi Dongsheng also became much softer at this time: "Monsters at night are highly demonized. This game setting It still applies in the Wind Continent, so fighting at night will also become extremely dangerous."
"But the people of the Hulun tribe have obviously been prepared for a long time." Duan Qing nodded, and then turned his gaze to the city wall composed of cavalry in front: "And with the formation and strength they have shown so far, it is only a mere Demonized creatures should be out of the question.”
"A rough estimate, there are at least tens of thousands of Libei troops gathered here." Xue Ling Huan Bing, who was looking at the left and right sides, said in a low voice: "Tens of thousands of elite cavalry - without targeting, They are enough to crush all kinds of invading enemies, not to mention that this is only one of the four major armies of the Hulun tribe, and there are three other armies that are equal to their strength."
"Having traveled to so many places, probably only the Frey Empire's military strength can be compared with the tribe in front of us." Duan Qing, who squinted his eyes, slowly shook his head: "However, such a tribe is now located in Outside the central sphere of influence of the Wind Continent——"
"It's hard to imagine how powerful the tribes occupying the center of the grassland are."
He quietly spread his hands to both sides, and his gaze turned to the side: "We may have entered the world line of hell difficulty."
"If you want to back out, you can do it yourself. I have to go back and continue." Asahi Dongsheng pointed sideways behind him with a look of disdain: "It took a lot of effort to come here, at least it's fun to kill. ah."
"You've been killed without an arm, aren't you satisfied?" Duan Qing also sighed helplessly: "Besides, there are more puzzles in front of us waiting to be solved, at least let's finish the business first. ah."
"Do you mean the serious matter of investigating the Hulun people?" Withdrawing his gesture of leaning over, Chao Ri Dongsheng replied nonchalantly: "I have already told you about the situation: every one of them Everyone carries something like a wind stone."
"Why do you use such a way of describing it?" Snow Spirit Huan Bing on the side asked quietly in a low voice: "Aren't those things stones of wind?"
"So I'm not suitable for espionage work at all, because my personality and knowledge reserve are simply not suitable for this kind of thing." Asahi Dongsheng waved his hands helplessly: "I look like the Stone of Wind But I couldn’t be sure, so I had to find a random soldier and ask as if he was a fellow soldier.”
"That person said they were also given this stone." Pointing to his waist, Asahi Dongsheng lowered his voice again: "They were told to wear one and not to take it off until the battle is over. , otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences... Well, it sounds very problematic."
"Amulet?" The glances at each other were later replaced by words spoken in unison. The eyes of Duan Qing and Xueling Huanbing once again focused on Asahi Dongsheng at the same time: "That's not right. If it's the Stone of Wind, If someone with the same effect existed, the storm here would have disappeared long ago..."
"This is the so-called 'abnormality'."
Pointing at the opponent's face and saying this, Duan Qing exhaled in a low voice. He looked at the tribal cavalry who were still charging forward in batches according to the sound of the horn and the faint sounds of darkness in the distance. He came shouting for kill, and his eyes gradually became serious: "Even if it is an emergency, there are still many things that we did not expect. Although we have squeezed into the center of this incident, we are still at an extremely disadvantage. passive position."
"In the final analysis, the core resources and intelligence we have are still too few." He pinched his eyebrows and thought hard, as if he was gradually gathering together the tens of millions of thoughts and clues at hand: "And we are currently seriously short of manpower. Although we had the key to breaking the situation, in the end we failed to push through any of them.”
"The storm in front of us is moving too fast. We must keep up with the pace." Xueling Huanbing also said: "We can't give up on the battlefield. At the same time, we have the tasks and clues in our hands to track down. The progress must be accelerated, I always have a hunch——"
"If we don't take action, it may be too late."
A few brief words of explanation quickly rang out in the air between the three people, and the figures who were moving separately quickly disappeared in the direction they left. Duan Qing, who seemed to be strolling around, was also watched by countless people. His cavalry returned to the original place under the gaze of his own cavalry, and consciously or unconsciously waved his hand to Hu Mobei, who was still in the center of the three armies: "Hey——"
"Can you see me?"
He waved his arms vigorously among the Hulun tribesmen who were gradually dispersed in front of him, and then faced the elder with leather armor who gradually walked towards him and showed his smile: "Sorry, but All my teammates have gone their separate ways, so now I don’t have anywhere to go..."
"I think you are afraid of being abandoned." Looking at Duan Qing's appearance, a smile appeared on Hu Mobei's face again: "After all, I think your strength seems to be as weak as mine - come on."
"Stay by my side, and I will ensure your safety." He signaled to a cavalryman on the side to grab Duan Qing on his horse, and turned to Hu Mobei, who was walking in the formation, and turned back with an indifferent expression: " Of course, the premise is that you don’t act randomly.”
"Thank you, sir, for trusting me so much." Duan Qing, who understood what the other party meant and was pinned behind the cavalry horse like a prey, replied with a wry smile: "Of course, if possible, I also hope that you, elder, can introduce it in detail. We still have no idea what we're dealing with right now."
"This is a common battle for the warriors of the Hulun tribe." The riding whip was wrapped in his hand. Humobei pointed forward and replied in a low voice: "Although the monsoon has caused great damage to the life of our tribe. It is a big nuisance, but it is also a protection for our safety, because when the storm is raging, no creature dares to move freely on the grassland on such a large scale."
"The monsoon is very regular every year. It usually stops for a period of time before entering the colder months, and then comes again with the cold wind from the sacred mountain, bringing a winter embrace to this grassland." He pointed at this point. Pointing to the path behind him that seems to extend to the southeast: "The fierce hunting and hunting will begin when the monsoon weakens, and the waves of beasts that swarm in will also come in waves. Appearing in front of many tribes, located on the edge of the grassland, with a larger number and scale than other tribes, we naturally became the main force in protecting the security of this grassland."
"Because the Hulun people have been living here for a long time." The sudden shouts of killing seemed to set off a wave of sound in front of the dark night, covering Duan Qing's increasingly serious expression: "In order to resist Such an attack must have made a lot of efforts and sacrifices for the nobles to win in this hunt and counter-hunt."
"We fulfilled our responsibilities as a large tribe and blocked all attacks from this direction."
Nodding his head, Humobei's expression began to become solemn: "Those tribes closer to the north and deep in the grasslands naturally don't need to worry about such things, because after so many years of fighting, the herds have also They began to regard our settlement as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, and they always wanted to eat us all.”
"Can this situation be regarded as the stubbornness of the grassland or the dignity of the herd?" Duan Qing smiled bitterly and touched his nose: "If you want to compete with this kind of natural power, you will definitely be attacked. It’s natural to hold grudges.”
"It doesn't matter, we have adapted to this kind of battle." The cavalry who were charging back to the front issued another command order, and Humobei's voice became more relaxed: "The soldiers of the Hulun tribe will also use This way we hone ourselves and maintain our combat capabilities as a large tribe, even if this will bring us a lot of casualties, and——"
As if he thought of something, he did not continue what he said. Duan Qing, who was looking at the other party, also noticed the unspeakableness in the silence, so he hurriedly changed the topic: "But now the situation has changed. What?"
"That's right, because this year's monsoon disappeared earlier than before." Humobi put away his gesture and nodded his head: "The herds seem to have noticed this change, and they have been changing recently. Even more ready to act, we scouted many threat points and collected enough signs, so we made preparations for battle."
"When you and your tribe first came here, we also discussed whether to involve you in this 'unprepared hunt'." He lowered his head, seeming to be recalling not long ago. Something is happening: "Seeing how eager you are to find shelter and the abilities you have shown, we finally decided to give you a place in this place."
"Even if the beast tide really breaks through the defense line, we still have the power to protect ourselves - you believe it so much, right?" He asked this sentence in a low voice, and the bitter smile on Duan Qing's face became more obvious. : "Thank you for your love and respect for us, but the Sioux and Wabu tribes also came here after experiencing countless changes and suffering all kinds of huge losses. If we are really allowed to go to the battlefield, probably the remaining Commoners and ordinary tribesmen will die."
"Don't worry, they at least need to pass our level." Humobei replied calmly: "The eastern front that the Libei Army is responsible for will not collapse easily. Even if there is an accident, we still have the second wave and the third wave. Three waves of defense, as well as various back-end preparations.”
"How long will the beast tide's attack last?" So Duan Qing subconsciously asked this question: "How long will tonight's attack last?"
"We have completed three rounds of charges so far. The losses of those beasts should be huge." Hu Mobei pressed his fingers: "As for how long the entire beast wave will last-"
"They probably won't give up until the storm blows again."
His eyes became cold and iron-blooded. Hu Mobei once again lowered his sights to the front of the fierce battle. The sight of a new batch of cavalry and soldiers roaring forward also carried a suffocating momentum. Every corner of the grassland that Duan Qing could see. Keep observing those indomitable figures disappearing into the darkness, the gray-robed magician's brows began to frown more and more tightly, but the one-armed figure from the rising sun attracted him the next moment. In his attention, the waving blades and the blood were also mixed in the battlefields: "Ha! Take one of my swords!"
"——Light Wind Technique!"
Trying hard to aim in his own direction, Duan Qing shrouded his teammates with his own support magic, who were still fighting. The blazing energy then gathered with the gray-robed magician's concentrated spell-casting movements. In the center of the battle line, the flame magic that was about to burst out was then held down by Hu Mobei who was on the side: "Don't use such a spell, it will easily hurt your own people."
"Since the elder said so." Duan Qing put away his spell-casting movements helplessly, and secretly looked around at the tribal warriors who were staring at him eagerly: "I'm just a little worried about my teammates."
"Although he is one-armed, there is no doubt about his strength." Pointing to the morning sun rising faster due to the influence of the light wind technique, Hu Mobei also had a satisfied smile on his face: "Of course, losing Losing an arm will have effects in many ways, and some of these effects are naturally also in combat, but in the face of such a battle, this flaw will not be easily exposed."
"This is another reason why we want him to participate in the battle." Duan Qing lowered his head to the elders of the Hulun tribe: "I also ask you and the warriors from other tribes to help me in this regard." Teammates, don’t let him lose his will to fight because of his disability.”
"This is natural." With a smile on his face, Hu Mobei then returned his attention to the battlefield in front of him: "Okay, it's almost time to start preparing for the second phase of the battle."
"second stage?"
"When the beast tide cannot make any progress in the battle, it will send out a large number of powerful beast individuals to try to break the situation." Nodding his head and making this explanation, Hu Mobei started a new round of command actions toward the front: "That is, those powerful leaders of the herd."
"Only by resisting their hunting can the victory flag be planted on our side tonight."
