Volume 1 Once Upon a Time in the South The confrontation between the mountains and forests of Fevoni
On the way east from Windiron Castle to Halledy, you must pass through the rugged forests of the Feverni Mountains. Generally speaking, the winding and bumpy mountain road of the march can easily attract the complaints of the soldiers, but this is not the case for the Quartet Mercenary Group.
The reason is that in the past few days, relying on these narrow mountain roads and steep mountains, the Quartet Mercenary Group has repelled several sneak attacks by the Wolf Moon group.
After coming out of the Wind Iron Castle, the Wolf Moon Mercenary Group has been paying close attention to the marching route of Laiwu and these people. When they learned that the Quartet Mercenary Group planned to go to the eastern coastline, the Wolf Moon people did not hesitate to follow into the forest of this Feivorni Mountain.
The Quartet Mercenary Group has also been vigilant for a long time, and has scattered all the killer martial arts into the dense forest to be used as spies, so that they can detect the movements of the Dao Wolf Moon group as soon as possible. After all, these killers are not of much help to the frontal battlefield, but with their flexible body and hiding in the mountains and forests, they can detect a lot of enemy intelligence.
Qiao Zhi, in particular, is now the most powerful source of information in the mercenary group, and he can get close to the Wolf Moon mercenary group every time to find out where the gang of rogues plan to do it. The rare unicorn "Dream Horse" ran like walking on the ground between this rugged mountain road, even if the Wolf Moon gang noticed Qiao Zhi's existence, they were angry and wanted to kill this little cub, but Qiao Zhi was agile and nimble after a few dodges, and then jumped on the back of the "Dream Horse" and rode away.
Xi Yu had chased after him several times with people but was helpless, and ordinary horses and unicorns were still too far behind.
With this information, the Quartet mercenary group always took the lead, and every time they waited for the Wolf Moon people to sneak attack on the high slope, those martial artists in green scale armor pushed against the entrance of the ramp, and the mages and crossbowmen were on the high cliffs to output to this group of rogues.
Even if the number of Wolf Moon mercenaries was twice as large, the advantage of being large in numbers in this narrow mountain road could not be brought into play at all, and every time they attacked them, they had to pay the lives of one or two hundred mercenaries for nothing.
Although Xi Yu hated it so much, he was helpless, he couldn't lead people to death again and again, right? Even he didn't expect that these two ancestors of Saliuxi were so ruthless, and none of the seriously injured Wolf Moon mercenaries were left alive, all of them were slaughtered and thrown into the mountains and forests to become food for crows.
He originally thought that these young nobles from the royal capital were all pretend not to kill people, especially to kill the "allies", he always felt that the other party would be jealous, who knew that the two leaders of the Quartet mercenary group had the same type of blood as him in their bones.
In fact, the first killing was quite shocking for these young people.
When Keba pierced the intestines of one of the mercenaries of the Wolf Moon with a shot, he watched in amazement as hot black-red blood flowed from his opponent's stomach, flowing down the barrel of the gun onto his palm.
He looked at the blood on the palm of his hand, exuding a disgusting fishy smell, and was in a trance for a while, until he saw the person in front of him staring at him with a pair of eyes, and then fell straight down, and then he realized that his shot really ended a person's life.
In fact, for these nobles who killed people for the first time, even if they knew that the criminal they killed was a criminal who did all kinds of evil, it could not alleviate the sense of absurdity and guilt in their hearts.
"What the are you doing!" Chen Zhu Fei slashed off half of the head of a wolf moon mercenary beside Kaiba, who originally wanted to take advantage of Kaiba's stunned situation to avenge his companion.
Looking at the remaining half-pulled head spraying blood into the air, like a spring in the battlefield, but this "spring" does not have a delicate trickle, it is wanton and unaesthetically untouched.
"Damn, Lao Tzu also killed someone?" Chen Zhu looked at the long knife in his hand in disbelief, looked at the blood line on the blade, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then the body with only half of its head left fell straight down.
Chen Zhu didn't hesitate, looking at the two groups of people who were killing together, "Ahhh
Kaiba looked at Chenzhu, the fat man, stabbing left and right, murderous, and also came back to his senses, and the spear in his hand was stabbed and picked, and rushed into the battle again. Now his heart also drew a trace of pleasure from the shock, the pleasure of fighting, the pleasure of taking people's lives.
Compared to these two people, Lai Wu has a composure beyond his peers, and the long sword in his hand is interspersed in the battlefield, and he can always see those wolf moon mercenaries who were smashed by the magic that fell from the sky, falling under this sword one after another. Without any superfluous movements, cutting throats, piercing hearts, and breaking heads, Lai Wu harvested the other party's lives in the most effortless and elegant way.
He can even command the situation in the field in his spare time, and assign the martial artists around him to the weakest front to support.
Compared to the three brothers, Alvin is not easy here. He led the crowd to find a hidden position on both sides of the mountain where they could stand and export. The Wolf Moon Mercenary Regiment still has some skills, and they have been shooting a rain of arrows towards the mountain with their bows and crossbows to cover the melee martial arts on the hillside. The rain of arrows disturbed the mages and crossbowmen here in Alwyn who did not dare to rush too far, and they could be shot into hedgehogs at the slightest probe.
Later, Alvin saw that several brothers had taken the lead in the battle at the bottom of the slope, and he was not willing to lag behind and ran directly out of the covered grass, and after a swift operation and levitation, he faced a round of ice and hail down the slope.
The crossbowmen of the Wolf Moon Mercenary Regiment saw that there was a fatal attack, and they shot a rain of arrows with their bows and arrows.
"Lord Elwin, be careful!" shouted Langyun, who was hiding among the grass, trying to lead the crowd forward.
"Leave it alone, don't move!" ordered Alvin without looking back.
A rain of arrows came in an instant, and Alwyn lifted the shield and frowned as the dense arrows hit the outer wall of the shield.
"Langyun, quick, lead the people to hide behind me. Alvin roared.
Seeing the opportunity, Lang Yun immediately led a dozen powerful mages and crossbowmen to quickly hide on the edge of the mountain behind Alwin, and bombarded the front row of the heavily armored Wolf Moon Mercenary Regiment under the slope.
Originally, in the face of the invulnerable green scale armor, Wolf Yue's group would not be able to take advantage, and now they have to face crossbow arrows and magic falling from the sky, Xi Yu saw this situation, even if he was unwilling, he had to give the order and fight and retreat, he knew in his heart that if he delayed for a while, he was afraid that the loss would be greater.
--------------------------------------------------------
In the next few battles, it was almost the same situation, and Xi Yu always calmly went against the terrain to find the Quartet mercenary group to fight, and each time he was defeated. After several times, there are already more than 200 people on the Wolf Moon side.
This also made the bandit leader Xi Yu frown and reconsider how to deal with this group of ruthless little rabbits.
"Come, give the order to go down, get up from the camp, go east, and get out of this damned old forest in the mountains of Feverni. Xi Yu finally made up his mind not to be angry with the "clever ghosts" of the Quartet Mercenary Group for the time being.
"But, Boss, we haven't had those miscellaneous pieces in the Quartet yet... Squinting said, glancing at Xinyu.
"What the hell do you want to say, don't I know I've suffered a loss these few times?" Xin Yu slapped his palm on the makeshift table, and the rough wooden table fell apart.
"Yes, yes... Squinting eyes trembled and said in a reluctant voice.
"These little miscellaneous things are naturally going to be taught a lesson, but we don't have the time to accompany them in this deep mountain and old forest to spend with them, so we will go east to Halladi City and wait for them. It's open, and I'll see how they'll run. Yu Yin Yin said.
"But what if they don't go in the direction of Halleda, Boss?" asked Squint.
"Pig brains," Xi Yu scolded, "Do you think about why they came out of the Wind Iron Castle, why didn't they go north on the broad road to the east, but to the rugged mountains and forests to the east?"
"Uh... Squinting his eyes, he couldn't answer.
Xi Yu picked up a piece of broken wood on the ground and smashed it towards Squint's head, "You rice bucket, they must be short of military spending, so they have to go to the eastern front to scrape the silver of the Tingxiao people." ”
The squint eyes were smashed and dizzy, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out of the camp to give orders.
"You don't have any money, but I have a lot of money. I will guard you in the city of Hallede, and if you have the ability, never go out of this mountain forest, and see who will not be able to hold it first. Xi Yu said with hatred in his heart.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
A white shadow galloping through the rugged mountain roads of Fevoni is a unicorn that is hard to buy.
Several young nobles of the Quartet Mercenary Group watched this flying horse gallop up and make a healthy appearance on the mountain, and they were all very envious. But this god horse with human nature seems to have never been very kind to Laiwu and a few people, and when he sees these people, he can't stop hissing, which makes a few people very happy.
Seeing Qiao Zhi turn over and get off the "dream horse", Lai Wu and the others didn't come up, because they didn't want to be scared anymore. Qiao Zhi patted the unicorn's strong buttocks, and the "dream horse" consciously walked towards the camp.
"How is it? What is the movement of those people?" asked Chen Zhu anxiously.
"When I arrived, I saw that their camp was gone, so I hurriedly chased after them. After chasing them for dozens of miles, they found that this group of people was almost out of the Fevorni Mountains. Qiao Zhi said while wiping the sweat from her forehead.
"What? means the gang ran away?" said Keba, surprised.
"That Xiyu is not someone to let go so easily," Alvin said with a smile, "We killed at least two hundred of them, right, would he let us go so easily?"
"He should also be able to see that if he fights us in this mountain, he is here to die. Lai Wu sneered, "I guess I left the valley to wait for us in Halledia." ”
"And what do we say?" asked Chenzhu, "follow along?"
"There's no hurry. Lai Wu shook his head and said, "Out of the valley, the terrain will be open, and the disadvantage of our personnel will be too obvious at that time." ”
"You mean, spend a little more with them?" Alwyn asked.
"We have enough baggage, so let's camp at the exit of the valley to the east and see the movements of the Wolf Moon group. I'm going to see who's going to get through whom. Lai Wu sneered.
