"Miscellaneous people, watch this!" Letting out various roars during battle seemed to be a habit that would never change for the tomahawk, and when his double-edged axe, which was almost the size of his own body, swept through with the roar, the two opponents who tried to flank him immediately turned into four pieces.

The explorers were awakened at dawn by a magical alarm from Regabri, and by the time they opened their eyes, the experienced warriors grabbed their weapons and prepared for battle.

Those who were preparing for the sneak attack were very experienced, and they deliberately chose this time when people were most sleepy, and even if the expedition team had a sentry, it was easy to lose their vigilance due to sleepiness at this time.

Unbeknownst to them, Rhaeggar's existence took a heavy toll on the men, as the power of the magic trap took its toll on the raiders as they sounded the alarm, killing at least a dozen enemies with the sudden appearance of magic, and by the time they panicked at the unannounced attack, the explorers had rushed into their midst.

The number of these sneak attackers was about a hundred, and it was evident from the fact that they quickly broke out of the panic and quickly organized a formation to besiege their opponents, and this was a well-trained army. They worked well together, and their martial arts were masterful, and apart from the initial panic when the explorers took advantage of the opportunity to inflict casualties, they behaved well enough to make any opponent feel difficult in the ensuing battle.

"Give me a minute. That was the only thing Rhaegar said after the battle began, and then he began the lengthy process of chanting the incantation. As the only spellcaster in the squad, he was kept most protected, with Nack, Willy, and Tomahawk standing around him in a triangle, and by his side, the elves served as reserves supporting their comrades in trouble, as well as his personal bodyguards.

In such a fight, Nack was undoubtedly the easy side, the terrifying strength of the sub-giant and the condescending advantage of his tall stature made those opponents smash away with a warhammer without even touching the edge, and the enemy was restricted to within two meters of him, and any opponent who dared to enter this range was reduced to corpses.

Willy's performance is not inferior, this girl's performance at this time is the same as last night, she has the strength of a leopard and the strength that makes the strongest men feel ashamed, and the flexibility of her body makes the people fighting with her more defenseless against her attacks, even in the face of opponents who are several times her own, the strong female warrior still does not back down, and no one can break through her defense.

Only the dwarves encountered difficulties in this battle, due to their size, the dwarves never liked to stand in place and fight people, they preferred to rely on fast movement and ferocious impact to get close to the opponent to carry out close attacks, this kind of battle to hold the line is obviously not suitable for this kind of battle, the tomahawk can only passively parry with weapons, but because the arm length is not enough, it cannot hit the opponent.

Fortunately, the elves were always able to help him in time, and Haim's sword was as swift as the wind, and those who rushed to charge at the dwarves fell under his sword without exception.

However, the performance of the explorers did not allow them to win the battle, and their numerical disadvantage kept them at a disadvantage, and as time went on, their range of activities became smaller and smaller, and everyone was confined to a small space.

"Kill them," a man who appeared to be the leader commanded the others in a loud voice, "before that mage finishes his magic!"

But his order apparently came a little late, and the efforts of the explorers bought Rhaegar enough time, and as the last syllable was spat out, the ground near the expedition suddenly began to squirm, and some of the enemies fell to the ground because they lost their balance.

The wriggling ground quickly took the shape of a lying giant, and then the giant made of clay slowly rose from the ground.

"Destroy them. Rhaegar commanded his summon.

The six-meter-tall earth elemental nodded silently in obedience to the summoner, and then the elemental giant began a bloody slaughter.

Fists larger than the heads of adults, all made of earth, bodies that are not afraid of any weapon, more agile movements on the ground than fish swimming in water, and terrifying strength, in front of the earth elemental who has all this, those who have already been discouraged by the appearance of most of the people are like sheep facing a lion, in less than two minutes, at least thirty people lost their lives at the hands of the earth elemental.

The corpses of their companions that looked like eggs smashed by a hammer completely crushed the courage of the survivors, and the sneak attackers of nearly sixty people had no intention of fighting anymore, some fleeing in all directions, hiding from the terrible elemental giants, and many more fled deep into the woods, only a few still holding on.

The explorers showed enough respect for these brave opponents to ask Rhaegar to restrain their summons, and then, the swords of Haim and Willy, the twin great axes of the battle axe, and the hammer of Nack, ended the lives of their opponents almost at the same time.

"They're already catching up," Heim said to his companions, "and if we keep walking, or keep walking along the main road, more enemies will follow like sharks that smell blood." ”

"It looks like we'll have to leave the main road and enter the forest," Rhaegar said, "and the magic map I've gotten shows a path to the swamp, and although it will take about two days, we can avoid the opponents. ”

The proposal was approved by all, and the expedition left its original route and headed deeper into the forest.

Throughout, Rhaegar didn't ask where the sneak attackers came from.

"I didn't like this place. It was not the usual nagging Tomahawk who complained about it, but the honest and brave Nack, whose superior size became the greatest obstacle to his movement in the forest, and many times he had to bend down to avoid the branches or be scratched in the face.

"Watch out for the nest on your head, if you knock it over, the birds will come after you desperately. The dwarf gloated as he carved out the path with his axe - he and Nack, who had borrowed Willy's greatsword, took turns leading the way.

"You said there was a path here," after scrambling to catch a bird's nest that had been knocked over, and then carefully putting it back into the distance, the usually good-natured Nack finally couldn't contain the anger in his heart, "Where is it?"

"It's right at our feet," Rhaegar said calmly in response to Nack's accusations, "the depictor of that map came here fifty years ago, enough time for the road to be overgrown with plants, but this is the closest path through this forest." ”
