Chapter 136: Intelligence
"You did this?"
There was a question in his tone, so much so that Xia misunderstood the other meaning, and he immediately put on a fighting posture:
"You sent these fire ravens to attack the village?"
Xia stared at the man in front of him unkindly, as long as he saw something about this man, Xia would immediately attack, such wicked people did not need mercy.
As soon as Xia's words came out, the rest of the villagers looked at the man one after another, their eyes revealing hatred, as if they were going to tear the man apart, which startled the man.
He hurriedly denied:
"Don't get me wrong, I'm a mercenary who came to destroy the fire crow after being commissioned by the Mercenary Guild, and I only came here because I saw the smoke here!"
Well, it's true that when Limp accepted this task, the task had already been accepted by the three of them, because this task was originally a task that could be participated in by multiple people.
The man also took out the mercenary badge and the letter of authorization as proof, and Xia believed what this person said.
It's so dangerous, fortunately, it proves that the hateful gaze of the villagers was able to leave, if the eyes can kill, he is afraid that he will die many times!
"What about you? Also a mercenary who accepts a mission? ”
Xia nodded, admitting that although the task was not his next step, he was indeed responsible for completing it.
However, the other party was shocked, because he knew that this task was a B-level mission, and it could be regarded as a high-level mission, and he was able to accept a B-level mission, which means that this young man who didn't look very old was a B-level mercenary?
Man is better than man, more dead than man!
He is only a B-level mercenary now, but he didn't expect this boy to be too, so those fire crows on the ground, could it really be that this boy made them?
If yes, then the strength of this teenager ......
He shook his head, putting aside these considerations, no matter what, if a strong person could join, this mission would be less dangerous:
"My name is Hugh Seth, and everyone calls me Hugh, what about you?"
"Summer!"
Under Xia's persuasion, the remaining villagers finally packed up their mood and agreed to go to a nearby village, in fact, the relationship between the villages is quite good, and they are all neighbors.
Hugh said:
"It just so happens that there are two companions in the nearby village who have also accepted the task, and this time I only saw the abnormality here that I came to investigate!"
And two companions? Unexpectedly, the people who accepted the task had already gathered.
On the way to the nearby village, Xia also asked some questions, and he also knew a little about the specific situation.
There are a total of five villages here in Jiuhua Mountain, and the location is exactly distributed in the five directions of Jiuhua Mountain, and the villages are not shallow to connect with each other, as for why they are not merged together, it is not clear.
At present, there are two villages destroyed by the fire crow, including the village just now, and what Xia Yi found at the beginning was the first village that was destroyed, and no one in the whole village survived.
After the destruction of the first village, mercenaries arrived one after another, temporarily living in another village, and also resisted two waves of fire crow attacks, which is why the fire crow shifted its target.
Unfortunately, there were too few people who accepted the mission this time, and the other villages were unable to protect themselves, so they could not allocate people to help, and even this time, only Hugh came to investigate.
Xia also frowned, he also knew that the situation in front of him was not optimistic, two of the five villages had been destroyed, and the power of the fire crow could become more and more concentrated.
"Do you know how many of our enemies, the Fire Ravens, are?"
Natsu asked.
"According to our investigation, the number of fire crows is at least two hundred, although some of them have been wiped out by you this time, but the situation is still not optimistic!"
More than two hundred? Even Natsu was shocked when he heard this amount!
Under normal circumstances, although the fire crows survive in groups, the number is about dozens, more than two hundred, and this fire crow colony seems a bit unusual.
However, before Hugh could finish speaking, he paused and continued a little dejectedly:
"Moreover, we also found that there are fourth-order fire crows among the fire crows, and there are four of them!"
Fourth order? And not just one, but four?
Although most of the fire crows are low-level demonic beasts, the span is huge, and the strongest fire crows from the second order are said to be as high as the seventh order, but the number is extremely rare.
And the fourth order, which is equivalent to the combat power of a human great warrior or a great magician, plus the natural advantages of a demonic beast, is almost equivalent to an ordinary warrior or a demon captain-level powerhouse.
It's okay if there really is a great magician on Xia's side, and with the assistance of magic, he can also maneuver around.
If not, then ...... The result is unimaginable, because the fire crow occupies the greatest advantage, air superiority, and the humans who cannot fly can only be beaten passively.
"Can't you move out?"
Natsu asked.
In the face of such a situation, he alone will not be able to deal with the fire crows, and it will be more and more unfavorable for them to continue to entangle, and if they choose to move away, they can still be used as a cover.
Hugh shook his head, however:
"We also said so, but the people of the village said that the ancestral precept stipulated that they could not leave the village, and no matter what we said, the villagers would not listen, even if they died, they would die here!"
What's breaking the rules? Death is also going to die here?
Their words were heard by the villagers who followed them, and one of them stood up and said loudly:
"We're not going to leave here!"
It seems that Zu Xun's power is really strong, even in the face of such a crisis, he can't shake the minds of these villagers, it seems that he can only choose another way, just ......
There is a huge difference in strength, what can be done!
In fact, the rest of the people had already discussed, if the villagers resolutely refused to leave, and they could not resist the attack of the fire crow, they would choose to interrupt the mission and leave here.
They would not lose their lives for the sake of the mission, and although it was unbearable for them, it was impossible for them to stay here with the villagers to die.
And according to the frequency of fire crow attacks recently, especially the death of dozens of fire crows today, there will be more crazy attacks next, and the final result will be in the next few days.
There's no time left to wait for other reinforcements to take on the mission, and if there's any hope, then ......
Hugh looked at Xia beside him, this mysterious boy is the key, just think about it Hugh and veto his own idea, too naïve, although this boy may have considerable strength, but it is impossible to restore the current situation.
I can only make plans again, continue to persuade the villagers, and if they really can't give up the mission, they believe that if they choose to escape, they can still do it.
It didn't take long for Xia to see another village, which was the most complete village he had ever seen, and he knew that this village wouldn't last long just by looking at it a few times.
There was a mess everywhere, many of the flames were extinguished, and many of the village's soldiers were wounded.
I believe that the situation of the other two villages is not much better, and even if another village is destroyed at this time, it may not be said that thinking of the purgatory scene he saw before, Xia clenched his fists.
