On the way east from Wind Iron Castle to Haledi City, you must pass through the rugged Fevoni Mountain Forest. Generally speaking, the winding and bumpy mountain roads such as the march route can easily attract complaints from the soldiers, but this is not the case for the Quartet Mercenary Group.
The reason is that relying on these narrow mountain roads and steep mountains, the Sifang mercenary group has repelled several sneak attacks by Lang Yue's group in the past few days.
After coming out of Fengtie Castle, the Wolf Moon Mercenary Group has been paying close attention to the marching route of Lai Wu and others. After learning that the Sifang mercenary group planned to go to the eastern coastline, Langyue and the others followed into the Fevoni Mountain forest without hesitation.
The Sifang mercenary group had also been alert for a long time, and dispersed all the killer martial arts into the dense forest to be used as spies, so that they could immediately detect the movements of Dao Langyue's group. After all, these killers are of little help on the frontal battlefield, but with their flexible bodies and hiding in the mountains and forests, they can detect a lot of enemy intelligence.
Especially Qiao Zhi, who is now the most powerful source of intelligence in the mercenary group. He can approach the Langyue mercenary group every time and find out where the bandits plan to attack. The rare unicorn "Dream Horse" ran as smoothly as walking on flat ground on such rugged mountain roads. Even though Lang Yue and his gang were aware of Qiao Zhi's existence, they were so angry that they wanted to kill this little brat. However, Qiao Zhi jumped on the back of the "Dream Horse" and galloped away after a few quick and agile moves.
An Yu had led people to chase him several times but was unable to do anything. The difference between ordinary horses and unicorns was still too far.
With this information, the Sifang mercenary group always took the lead. Every time, they waited for Lang Yue's people to attack on the high slope. The martial arts warriors wearing green scale armor stood at the entrance of the slope. The mage They and the crossbowmen were on the high cliffs, attacking the bandits to their heart's content.
Even if the Wolf Moon Mercenary Group had twice as many people, the advantage of having a large number of people in this narrow mountain road could not be used at all. Every time they made a sneak attack, they had to pay the price of one or two hundred mercenary lives in vain.
Although Yan Yu hated him so much, he had nothing to do. He couldn't lead people to die again and again, right? He didn't even expect that these second-generation ancestors from Saliuxilai were so ruthless. None of the seriously injured Langyue mercenaries were left alive. They were all slaughtered and thrown into the forest and became crows' food.
He originally thought that these young nobles from the royal capital were all pretending not to dare to kill people, especially the "allies". He always felt that the other party would be afraid, but how could he know that the two leaders of the Quartet mercenary group The blood flowing in his bones is the same type as his.
In fact, the first murder was quite shocking to these young people.
When Kaiba pierced the stomach of a mercenary from Langyue with a spear, he stared blankly at the hot black-red blood flowing out of his opponent's stomach, flowing down the barrel of the gun and onto his palm.
He looked at the blood on his palms, exuding a disgusting stench, and was in a daze for a moment. It was not until he saw the eyes of the man in front of him staring at him, and then fell straight down, that he finally understood that he had shot It really took a person's life.
In fact, for these nobles who committed murder for the first time, even knowing that the person they killed was a criminal who had done all kinds of evil could not alleviate the absurdity and guilt in their hearts.
"What the hell are you freaking out about!" Chen Zhufei cut off half of the head of a certain Wolf Moon mercenary next to Kaiba. The mercenary originally wanted to take advantage of Kaiba's daze to avenge his companions.
Looking at the remaining half head spraying blood into the air, it was like a spring in the battlefield, but this "spring water" did not have a delicate trickle, but was sprayed wantonly and without any sense of beauty.
"Damn it, I also killed someone?" Chen Zhu looked at the long knife in his hand in disbelief, looking at the blood line on the blade, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then the body with only half a head left fell straight down.
Chen Zhu didn't hesitate at all. Looking at the two groups of people fighting in a massacre, he roared, "Uh-huh," and rushed into the battle group, starting to slash wildly.
Kaiba saw the fat man Chen Zhu slashing left and right with murderous intent. He came to his senses, stabbed and picked with the spear in his hand, and rushed into the battle again. Now he also felt a sense of pleasure in his heart from the shock, the pleasure of fighting, the pleasure of taking human life.
Compared to these two people, Lai Wu is calmer than his peers. The long sword in his hand cuts through the battlefield fiercely. You can always see the Wolf Moon mercenaries who were knocked out of breath by the magic falling from the sky. One after another fell under this sword. Without unnecessary movements, slitting the throat, piercing the heart, and breaking the skull, Laiwu harvested the opponent's life in the most labor-saving and elegant way.
He can even direct the situation on the field in his spare time and assign the martial arts around him to support the weakest front.
Compared to the three brothers, Alvin's place is not easy either. He led everyone to find hidden locations on both sides of the mountain where people could stand and output. The bandits and gangsters of the Langyue Mercenary Group still have some skills. They have been using their bows and crossbows to shoot showers of arrows towards the mountains to cover the melee martial arts on the hillsides. These rains of arrows disturbed the mages and crossbowmen in Elvin from daring to move forward too much. If they poked their heads in for a moment, they might be shot into hedgehogs.
Later, Alvin saw that several brothers in the battle down the slope had already taken the lead and charged into the crowd. Not to be outdone, they ran out from the cover of the grass and used the Swiftness and Float techniques to face down the slope. Ice, wind and hail.
When the crossbowmen of the Wolf Moon Mercenary Group saw a dangerous figure appearing, they picked up their bows and nocked arrows and fired a hail of arrows at them.
"Lord Alvin, be careful!" Lang Yun, who was hiding in the grass, shouted, wanting to lead everyone to rush forward.
"Don't worry about it, don't move yet!" Alvin ordered without looking back.
A shower of arrows arrived in an instant. Alvin raised his light shield and frowned as he watched the dense arrows hit the outer wall of the light shield.
"Langyun, quickly, lead the people to hide behind me." Alvin roared.
Seeing the opportunity, Langyun immediately led a dozen capable mages and crossbowmen to quickly hide on the edge of the mountain behind Alvin, and gave a fierce martial arts blow to the front row of the Wolf Moon Mercenary Group in heavy armor down the slope. Bombing.
Originally facing the invulnerable green scale armor, Lang Yue's group could not take advantage, but now they have to face crossbows and magic falling from the sky. When An Yu saw the situation, he had no choice but to give the order to fight and retreat, even if he was unwilling to do so. He knew in his heart that if it were delayed for a while, the losses would be even greater.
-------------------------------------------------- ------
After several battles, the situation was almost the same. Yan Yu always went against the terrain calmly and started a fight with the Sifang mercenary group, and returned defeated every time. After several attempts, Lang Yue's side had lost about 200 people.
This also made the bandit leader Yan Yu frown and reconsider how to deal with these cruel little bastards.
"Come here, give me the order, break up camp, go east, and get out of this damn Fevoni mountain and old forest quickly." An Yu finally made up his mind not to get angry with the "smart guys" of the Sifang Mercenary Group for the time being. .
"But, boss, we haven't got those bastards from all around..." He said with narrowed eyes and glanced at Jin Yu.
"The hell do you want you to tell me? Don't I know that I have suffered a lot these times?" Yan Yu slapped his palm on the makeshift table, and the rough wooden table immediately fell apart.
"Yes, yes..." he said submissively with trembling eyes and narrowed eyes.
"Of course these little bastards need to be taught a lesson, but we don't have time to accompany them in the deep mountains and forests. Let's go east to the Haledi City and wait for them. The terrain there is open. I don't see what they will do then. Run." An Yu said gloomily.
"But boss, what if they don't go in the direction of Haldi?" Xiaoyi asked with squinted eyes.
"You're a pig," Jin Yu scolded, "think about it when they came out of Fengtie Castle, why did they leave the broad road to the north instead of walking to the rugged mountains and forests to the east?"
"Um..." He narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, unable to answer.
Yan Yu picked up a piece of broken wood on the ground and threw it at the squinting head, "You idiot, they must be short of military expenses, so they are going to the eastern front to steal Tingxiao people's money."
His squinted eyes were hit and he was dizzy. He was so frightened that he quickly ran out of the tent to deliver the order.
"You have no money, but I have plenty. I will guard you in Haldi City. If you can, never leave this mountain forest. Let's see who can't hold on first." Yan Yu said with hatred in his heart.
-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
A white shadow is riding along the rugged and difficult mountain road in Fevoni. This is the unicorn that is worth a lot of money.
Several young nobles from the Quartet Mercenary Group were very envious when they saw the flying horse galloping and its healthy figure on the mountain. However, this divine horse who understands human nature seems to have never been very fond of Laiwu and the others. He neighed when he saw these people, which made several people feel very uninterested.
Watching Qiao Zhi turn over and get off the "Dream Horse", Laiwu and the others didn't come up because they didn't want to be scared again. Qiao Zhi patted the unicorn's strong buttocks, and "Dream Horse" walked towards the camp consciously.
"How's it going? What's going on with that group?" Chen Zhu asked anxiously.
"When I arrived, I saw that their camps were gone, so I quickly chased them. After chasing them for dozens of miles, I found that this group of people had almost left the Fevoni Mountains." Qiao Zhi wiped the sweat from her forehead. Said the side.
"What? You mean these people ran away?" Kaiba felt a little surprised.
"That Jin Yu is not someone who lets go so easily," Alvin said with a smile, "We have killed at least two hundred of them, right? Will he let us go so easily?"
"He should also be able to see that if he fights with us in this mountain, he is here to die." Laiwu said with a smile, "He must have left the valley to wait for us in Haldea City."
"Then what do we say?" Chen Zhu asked, "Follow us too?"
"There's no rush." Laiwu shook his head and said, "After leaving the valley, the terrain will open up. By then, our personnel disadvantage will be too obvious."
"You mean, spend more time with them?" Alvin asked.
"We have enough luggage, so we can station ourselves at the exit of the valley to the east and take a look at the movements of Lang Yue's group. I want to see who can survive who." Lai Wu said with a sneer.
