Just as the 1st and 4th Wings of the Bloodfang Cavalry Regiment conquered and destroyed the mercenary cottage in the Redstone Mountains, and then returned to Boulder Fortress with the treasure of the bronze dragon Kravchuk, the leader of the 'Ice Storm' mercenary group, Def, finally walked out of the Zangar Swamp.

Def stood outside the Zangar swamp with a magic wand in his hand and ragged clothes, followed by nearly three hundred mercenaries. These were the mercenaries that Dev met along the way out of the Zangar swamp. Of the more than 1,000 mercenaries who fled into the Zangar swamp, Div managed to gather less than 300 remnants in the end. The rest of the more than 700 mercenaries had already died in the mouths of the fierce demonic beasts in the swamp.

Def was able to get out of the deeper parts of the Zangar Swamp with all kinds of hardships, and the mage robes on his body were torn by the battle against the monsters. And along the way, it is also thanks to Tirio, a ninth-level knight, to accompany him, otherwise he may not be able to get out of the Zangar Swamp on his own.

After stepping out of the Zangar Swamp, Tirio left first. Div took a remnant of mercenaries with him, and he didn't know where to go for a while. He had the intention of returning to the mercenary cottage in the Redstone Mountains immediately, but he also guessed that the orcs would definitely divide their forces to attack. Originally, there was a bronze dragon Kravchuk guarding the road to the mountain under Tiandu Peak, and the mercenary cottage should sit back and relax, but for some reason, there was always a lingering sense of foreboding in Div's heart. And this sense of foreboding is still so strong.

"Em, you and your brothers will go to Riptide Fort for a while, and the 'Red Flame Dragon' mercenary group should take us in. I'll go back to the Redstone Mountains to see what is going on, if the cottage is fine, we'll go back to the mountain!If the cottage is gone, then we will have to take refuge in the 'Red Flame Dragon' mercenary group!" Diff said to a lean man who looked like a swordsman.

Em is the deputy head of the 'Golden Ring Flying Snake' mercenary group, and the only remaining deputy leader of the four mercenary groups, and the deputy leaders of the two mercenary groups of 'Fire Eagle' and 'Zhantian' have also died in battle.

"With Master Kravchuk here, our cottage can't be breached by those orcs, right?" I think it's better for us to go back to the cottage!" Em and Def disagreed, and suggested another.

"I can't say for sure, although Master Kravchuk is a powerful dragon, it is not invincible in the world, not to mention that it has been injured in the first place! I don't know why my heart is always beating and I have a very bad premonition! You can do as I say!" Div saw that Em did not obey the call, and suddenly became a little impatient.

Seeing that Div spoke politely, Em's face also sank.

Although Div is the nominal leader of the coalition of the four mercenary groups, now that the coalition has been defeated, its already loose organizational structure has become a mess, and Div, the leader of the coalition army, exists in name only. Em wanted to turn his face on the spot, but when he swept his eyes at the remnants behind him, and saw that there were only forty or fifty people wearing the costumes of the 'Golden Ring Flying Serpent' among the three hundred people, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Okay, then I'll take my brothers to Riptide Castle first. Em replied unhappily.

Once Def had everything in order, he immediately got up and hurried to the Redstone Mountains. When he hurried day and night, arrived at the foot of Tiandu Peak, and looked up at the peak of Tiandu Peak looming in the clouds and mist, and the dragon's lair looming on the steep cliff, the worry in his heart became more and more intense.

Diff cast a spell and placed his sense on a raven flying through the sky, manipulating the raven to carefully fly into the dragon's den on the cliff. Dev saw through the eyes of the raven what was going on in the dragon's den, only to see that it was a mess and empty, not only Kravchuk was gone, but even the vast treasures it had gathered were gone.

Div's heart hit rock bottom in an instant. He immediately relieved the manipulation of the raven, stopped staying, and hurried to the mercenary cottage thirty miles away.

Along the way, Diff suddenly found that in addition to the raven he had just caught to sustenance his divine sense, there were still ravens flying in the sky, far more than usual. Remembering that ravens feed on carrion and are most likely to gather on the battlefield full of dead corpses, Div's body began to tremble slightly.

When he passed through Tiandu Peak and turned another ridge, the mercenary cottage was already in sight.

Seeing a large number of ravens flying over the cottage, and the ruins of the cottage that had been destroyed by the fire, Div's face suddenly turned pale.

He knew that the mercenary cottage in the Redstone Mountains that he had put a lot of effort into was finished.

Diff stepped into the ruins of the cottage with a gloomy face, and the first thing he saw was the 'Jingguan' piled up in the square.

Hundreds of ravens crawled up and down in the pile of human heads, pecking out eyeballs from the human head's eye sockets with their thick beaks and swallowing them in one bite, or pecking out bloody holes in human faces, and then poking their beaks or claws into the bloody holes and tearing off the flesh one by one.

The arrival instantly disturbed the flock of ravens that were feeding, and they flew into the sky with a flutter, circling round and round, and let out a piercing scream at the uninvited guest of Diff.

Diff was already in a gloomy mood, and the noise of the ravens was even more noisy. He raised his wand to the sky, and a bitter cold snap spawned under his spell and swept across the sky. The ravens in the sky froze into ice sculptures under the impact of the cold snap, plopping and falling to the ground, like a hailstorm, and the broken ice was spread all over the ground.

The ravens in the sky were swept away, and the roots of Diff's ears were instantly cleaned!

After wiping out the raven colony, Def's depression was somewhat soothed. He walked up to the tower and looked at the heads of his former companions, his face turning bloody. His gaze shifted upwards, and finally settled on a skull that had been placed at the top of the Human Head Tower. Although both of the eyes of this head had been pecked by ravens, leaving only two hollow eye sockets, and the flesh on his face had been torn by ravens to a bloody blur, Diff still recognized him at a glance, the deputy leader of the 'Ice Storm' mercenary group, Kemp.

Seeing the tragic death of the familiar deputy, and smelling the strong rancid smell emanating from the human head tower in front of him, Div finally couldn't bear it anymore and vomited heavily.

After Dev finished vomiting, he looked up at the destroyed cottage again, sighed, and had no memory in his heart, and was about to destroy this 'Jingguan' where orcs showed off their martial arts, so he went to Torrent Fort to join the 'Red Flame Fire Dragon' mercenary group, when an eagle's roar suddenly sounded in the sky.

Diff subconsciously looked and saw a black falcon flying from afar, and when it reached the top of the cottage, it immediately gathered its wings and swooped down.

Diff thought that this black falcon was also foraging for food on the corpse of the mercenary, and suddenly he was annoyed, pinched out an ice arrow, raised his hand and pointed at it, and the ice arrow 'swished', and flew towards the black falcon along Div's direction.

The Black Falcon made a deft flicker in the air, dodging the ice arrows. Seeing this, Diff couldn't help but sigh in shock, feeling incredulous that this black falcon could dodge the ice arrows he sent.

"Fuck, is Lao Tzu really so moldy, even a flat-haired beast like you can't help it?" Lao Tzu really doesn't believe in this evil!" Diff laughed angrily, and once again pinched the trick, vowing to kill the black falcon, but after the black falcon landed, the light on its body flashed, and it suddenly turned into a human form, turning into an elf wrapped in a hooded robe and a dark face.
