Steel steam and flame

"You can make supplies several times along the way. I will immediately contact those teams that are willing to provide supplies." The person who just reported the information was stunned for a moment, reacted immediately, and then said, "Now, each team will immediately count the things they need. Weapons and ammunition do not need to be included. There will definitely be more of these things, not less. The important thing is that the reagents and equipment should be as normal as possible so that other teams can carry them."

"In addition, because weapons and ammunition will be replenished, each member needs to reduce the weight they carry and prepare a minimum reserve. If you can save energy during a journey, you should try your best to avoid getting tired. When handing over supplies , food is definitely included, and we should be able to have a good meal by then." The following words were more like comfort. If the hunting circle is normal, there will be no shortage of food at all, and it is not necessary. But under the current situation, during the past few days of being pursued, the heavy physical exertion could no longer be replenished simply by rest.

After a few minutes the information came together and the team set off. Xisiya is at the back of the team. On the one hand, she is the tail of the team, and on the other hand, it is convenient to answer questions at all times during communication.

The supplies were quickly finalized and were not far from the team, only dozens of kilometers away. It will be buried in the ground, basic markings will be made, and you can dig it out when you arrive. Being willing to provide supplies is already a welcome help, but when faced with an alliance of monsters, there is no such thing as meeting each other, which is actually a good choice for both parties.

As noon approaches, the light in the forest becomes noticeably brighter. The heavy snowstorm in the sky has reduced in intensity. Although it is still cold, the thickness of the snow is still increasing in an orderly manner. At two o'clock in the afternoon, the cold wind howled as expected, and Xixia also intensified the intensity of the feeling of dispersion.

The light intensity begins to decrease, which is good news for them who need concealment, but the bad news that comes with it is that the enemy also enjoys the convenience of the environment. It's just that compared to Sicia, who received Hilary's guidance in the southern forest, even if she doesn't focus on sensing direction, her sensitive touch and large-scale detection are already her own advantages that can be called abilities.

There were still more than ten kilometers approaching the supply location in the contact. Sisia looked at the time and ordered the team to rest.

"Take turns on sentry duty," she said, and the member who was reporting the information came over: "Captain, do you want to check the situation ahead first?"

"After all, Mr. Korkva has issued several reminders in the past few days. Except for the confirmed support team, we need to maintain basic suspicion towards others." Sisia nodded and said, "If we follow the plan, we can indeed not They are afraid of alliance monsters and have the power to fight against them. However, regarding polluted creatures and hunting circles, once the dragon knight is contaminated, the balance will be broken instantly. The alliance will send personnel to deal with it, but it will also take time. And The people sent here will definitely not get involved in such a thing."

"In the current situation, we must be careful..." When she said this, Xicia couldn't help but feel unusually familiar, as if a voice was echoing in her head, "..." There is something else she wants to say, But she lost her mood instantly, and Xicia swallowed it into her stomach.

"It will take more than half an hour." She said. Seeing that the team members had dispersed into small groups, relying on ancient trees, tree roots and snow to prepare camouflage and defensive formations, she left. "Come back soon, hope the front There will be good news waiting for us.”

"I hope so, Captain."

Watching Captain Sisia disappear from sight quickly, the capture in his perception immediately became blurry as he disappeared from his field of vision. In just one or two breaths, even if he knew that the captain was no more than a hundred meters away in front of him, all he could see and detect with his senses was just the interior of a dark forest covered with mottled snow.

The member who reported the information turned back to the team and went to the position of his team.

"Xinani, what's the real situation?" The voice sounded from next door, coming from a strong man nearly two meters tall. "The captain was here just now, so he didn't speak. I had been wanting to ask when I changed the direction of travel midway. Can’t the support team arrive soon?”

Shinani glanced at the man, her expression not changing at all, "The situation is exactly the same as what was explained, neither good nor bad. Although we are not an experienced group, we have definitely not seen anything before. It’s strange. Some things don’t need to be clearly stated in words.”

The man smiled and nodded while sitting, "I have no other thoughts, I just want to say that if the situation really gets to such a bad point, maybe we should think about the worst plan. What do other people think of me? I don’t know, but I hope you can survive until the end and return to the alliance smoothly.”

"Alas..." It seemed that this was not the first time that something like this had happened. Shinani sighed, leaned against the root of the tree behind her, closed her eyes to rest, and stopped talking.

Time passed between the resting and alert teams. Occasionally, intermittent sounds like howling wind came from not far away. This is the information fed back by the sentry members. It means that there is no danger around, and it also means that they are still alive and have not been attacked by sneaking enemies.

Fifteen minutes passed quickly. At this time, most of the team members opened their eyes and looked in the direction Xicia was heading, carefully and conscientiously identifying whether there was any movement ahead. Fifteen minutes is a rough critical line, which means that Xicia has reached the target location and is beginning to explore the surrounding environment.

There is only silence, but silence represents smoothness and safety. The team members closed their eyes one after another and took the time to rest. The further this time goes by, the less it will become.

Shinani only looked back after nearly half a minute. She hoped that she could think of a good way to help the captain share some of the pressure. But for her, whose role in the team is equivalent to that of a communications soldier, whether it is thinking or strength, it seems that not becoming a burden is the most important thing.

Thinking like this, she felt a sense of loss in her heart, and the feeling of powerlessness came over her again, although similar situations had happened repeatedly since a few days ago. She opened her mouth slightly and took a deep breath, trying to ease her mood. But for a moment, I felt strange because there was also a slight sound of breathing around me.

When she looked around, the members of her team all opened their eyes, opened their mouths, and took roughly the same slow and deep breaths. Before she could think of anything more, a loud roar of "disperse" immediately broke out. All team members woke up from their resting state one after another. When their bodies tensed up and prepared to rush to the surroundings, the wind from above had already hit the ground with huge force.

In the howling wind, snow and mist billowed in all directions. The sound of ancient branches breaking continuously came immediately, and then quickly disappeared amidst the huge vibrations of the ground and the muffled sound of "dong".

The violent aura that belongs to dragons and is very familiar to them has completely covered this place in an instant.

"Don't panic, um, forty-six friends, I don't mean any harm. In the forest, all members of the alliance should be friends."
