Lord of War

The more he rushed towards his destination, the stronger the smell of blood wafted in the wind.

As Sean and others who have really experienced the flames of war, how can they not know what it means to be able to cause such a strong smell of blood. This must be at least the casualties caused by the battle of thousands of people to have such a strong smell of blood.

But in the barren land, a battle of more than a thousand people has reached the level of a small-scale war.

Maybe other people don't understand what a small-scale war means in a wild land, but Sean does. The so-called small-scale war usually means that a new war has started, and the current loss of fighting is just a preliminary test for both sides. As for the so-called start of war, the scope of the impact will naturally be extremely large. Maybe in the territory of the tribe where Xiao En and others are now, wars are breaking out in almost the entire territory.

After secretly cursing bad luck, Sean also had to speed up his pace. He had to determine whether a small-scale war broke out, and if so, then he had to figure out who the two sides in the war were. If it's just a conflict between the two tribes, it's okay to say, but if it's a war with the human kingdom, then Xiao En must change his way to Heishuize, otherwise they will be forced to be involved in the war Come on, this is not what Sean wants.

And soon, Sean caught up with Rotika Bass, who had already gone to explore the road first.

"What's the situation?" Sean asked impatiently as soon as the two sides reunited.

"It's been a while since the battle ended." Rotikabas said in a deep voice, no longer in the mood to joke. "However, it seems that there should be survivors, and now it is probably the stage of entering the pursuit battle.... From what I have observed, this should be a premeditated ambush. But the strength of the defender should be very strong, Because even if there is a premeditated battle, the ambush side will suffer."

Rotika Bass used to be the guest minister of the Aite family, and his combat power was extremely strong, and he also knew some ways of war, so the clues he deduced at this time, even if they were not 100% accurate. It is absolutely inseparable.

Based on these intelligence clues, Sean can roughly figure out some things, and there is no need to go back to the battlefield to study clues.

"Can you know the situation of the two warring parties?" Sean asked.

"The ambush should be human beings." Rotika Bass said. The expression looked a little weird, "But looking at the attire, it doesn't seem to be the army of any country, but it looks like... mercenaries? Anyway, they have all kinds of weapons. And there is no formal uniform of attire and weapons."

"It should be a large mercenary group." Sean corrected Rotikabas' mistake. "Mercenaries have relatively uniform discipline and are not as casual as mercenaries. If a mercenary group is operating in a wild land, then it must be a military force hired by some country. On the contrary, although the mercenary group is very It is not impossible to set foot in wild lands less, their identities have always been unstable, and they may help a certain tribe in the last second, but as long as the tribe is ashamed, then these mercenary groups will It's possible to eat the tribe back."

What Sean said is a very common behavior in the wild land.

Maybe in the past. Those stupid tribes in the barren land still believed in these mercenary groups, but now, except for those tribes that are strong enough to dare to deal with mercenary groups, it is impossible for small tribes to have anything to do with mercenary groups. business dealings. This is exactly why the adventurer team received attention and vigilance in the wild land,

The reason why it is smaller than the mercenary regiment.

"Since you emphasized that the ambush party is human beings, then the ambushed party should be the people of the wild land tribe?" Sean asked hastily.

"Yes." Rotikabas nodded, and immediately he saw Sean let out a sigh of relief, "What's going on?"

"If it's a dispute between the mercenary group and the tribe in the wild land, then it's nothing more than two points." After recovering a rare good mood, Xiao En explained, "The first is that this mercenary group has transformed into a Slave catchers intend to tie up some slaves to sell. Anyway, the major kingdoms and empires surrounding the barren land are very obvious supporters of slavery; and the second point is that it is obvious that this servant The Corps took a fancy to something and was going to be a bandit for a while, and leave after the looting... But no matter what the situation is, it is a good thing for us."

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Sean opened his mouth to express his worries, so everyone understood why Sean had such a dignified expression before. But it's normal to think about it. After all, they still have to move forward in the wild land. If they are all involved in a war, then they will really feel uncomfortable, especially Rotikabas and Ha. The two of Ting still have identities that cannot be seen.

"Are there many corpses at the battle scene?" Sean asked again.

"A lot." Rotika Bass said in a deep voice, "It's no exaggeration to say that blood flowed like a river. ... Anyway, it's not like the battle that surrounded you in the Finnistine clan."

Hearing this, Xiao En understood: "Then this mercenary group must be looking for something. If they wanted to play a guest role in the slave hunting team to catch some slaves and sell them back, they wouldn't use such extreme measures to There must be more wounded than dead if the method of massacre is carried out... Do you know where to escape?"

"I know." Rotika Bass nodded, then turned to lead the way, Xiao En and others immediately followed.

...

At this time, on a desert in the wild land, more than a dozen figures were fleeing in a panic.

With the reflection of the moonlight, it can be clearly seen that these dozens of figures are all elves. It's just that it's not clear whether it's a highland elf, a prairie elf, or a gray elf for the time being. But judging from his agile skills, it is more likely to be a prairie elf. And these elves, almost all of them are at the silver level, only a few are at the lower silver level, and the strongest one is at the gold level, but his aura is already very subtle. His body was also stained with blood and scars, and he might not live long.

On the other hand, it was not far behind them, about a hundred meters away. There is a team of about thirty or forty people.

The aura of strength exuded by this team is a bit mixed, from bronze to silver, it can almost be said that good and bad are mixed. But what is surprising is that those who were more injured in this team were all silver-level masters, but those who were at the bronze level still maintained a relatively complete combat effectiveness. However, in the team, there are three people whose strength has reached the gold level. Although they are all low-level gold, their momentum is calm, compared to the state of the elf at this time. If the three of them work together, it is not too difficult to win.

In this way, the two groups of people kept running one after the other in the desert.

However, manpower is limited after all.

An elf accidentally fell to the ground while running. A dozen other elves also stopped.

"Don't worry about me. Run!" The felled elf saw his companions stop, and immediately shouted, "The treasure of the tribe must not fall into their hands!"

After hesitating for a second, the elf with golden strength turned his head and shouted: "Go!"

After all, I will not stop any longer. The other dozen or so elves gritted their teeth, then turned and followed suit. They even had time to see the last smile on their companion's face, but they couldn't say anything.

But only for two seconds. The distance between the two sides has been shortened by nearly ten meters, if there are more times. I'm afraid these elves will be completely overtaken. It's just that now, these injured elves have almost reached their limit, because their speed is obviously much slower. But looking back at those humans, they seemed to have drunk a stimulant. After seeing the speed of the elves slow down, their speed immediately increased a lot, especially those mercenaries with the strength of the bronze level. He let out a scream of excitement, then rushed forward brandishing his weapon, and quickly opened a considerable distance from the people of his team.

But looking at the actions of these bronze-strength mercenaries, those silver masters and three gold-strength experts did not forcefully pursue them. In fact, if these three gold-level powerhouses broke out to pursue with all their strength, they would be able to intercept those elves within a minute or two of pursuit at most.

But they didn't do this, and their purpose was naturally to weaken the physical strength of those elves.

Mercenaries have a habit, that is, unless the situation is urgent, they will not waste extra energy to complete the task. This is why many mercenary regiments like to make some vicious cat-and-mouse moves. Of course, such actions naturally have their own advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes it is easy to be self-defeating if you are not careful.

But right now, these three gold-level powerhouses are not worried about any accidents at all, because they have already done some investigations before launching the ambush. Although the result of tonight's battle was somewhat beyond their expectations, they did not expect that the resistance would be so strong, and even reached a situation of endless death, so naturally a lot of manpower was lost, so that a group of two or three hundred people The scale of the mercenary group is only left with the current manpower.

However, as long as this vote is completed, they will immediately be able to form a mercenary group that is not weaker than before.

And soon, these elves, who were finally exhausted, were also surrounded by those mercenaries with the strength of the bronze level. I don't know who took the lead, these mercenaries quickly launched a fierce attack on the dozen or so elves like a pack of wolves, regardless of the fact that there was almost a huge gap between the two sides.

Such a result is naturally obvious.

Even if these elves were already scarred, but if they were really desperate, it would not be very troublesome to deal with these bronze-level mercenaries who did not have any ability to leapfrog the enemy. It's just that the so-called ants kill the elephants, so there are still some elves who can't stand the crowd's attack because of their injuries and mental exhaustion.

And when the melee finally returned to reason and calmness, there were less than ten mercenaries with nearly thirty bronze strengths left. And the original team of thirteen elves, counting the one who fell behind halfway, now only had eight people left, and two of them couldn't even stand still.

At this time, the gold-level powerhouses of the three mercenary groups stood in three positions, and each of them had three or four silver masters to help them out. Although these silver masters were all wounded, they were much better-looking than these elves. up. At this time, everyone's aura was completely released, which immediately made these elves feel ashamed, because they never thought that there were actually three gold-level strongmen in the opponent's mercenary group.

"You guys hid it so deeply that you didn't even leak the slightest bit of aura during the ambush just now." The seriously injured golden-level elf said in a deep voice, with endless hatred on his face.

"We are mercenaries, and it is our style to be cautious." One of the strong men at the golden level said in a deep voice, "You already know what we want. If we hand over the things, we can leave a whole body .”

"Don't think about it!"

"court death!"

Two shouts of anger came from the mouths of the elf and another strong mercenary, one in front and the other in the back.
