Volume 1 The Wasteland Chapter 21 The Thirteenth Advanced Desolation
Mu Chen did not continue to pursue the fleeing clan, after talking to the old leader, simple killing to vent his anger was no longer the first purpose, although he did not think of stopping there, but it was no longer so urgent. Filled with doubts, his mind was confused and he had no intention of continuing, and after simply replenishing food, he found a clean and comfortable tent around the central tent to rest, and waited until his mind cleared up before making plans.
The survivors who ran back informed the various tribes overnight, and the clan chiefs gathered in the early morning to discuss what to do. The six high-ranking barren layers in the clan were all killed in battle, the old leader had no news of his whereabouts, and the entire tribe was leaderless and scattered.
"Go to the Beijin Department for help, we still have six guards and twelve people in the Beijin Ministry, there is always a way to find them back. ”
"That's right, go to the Begin Ministry, there are still more than 10,000 warriors left in our clan, and under the leadership of the six of them, plus the Begin Ministry's wasteland nomad escort, we can definitely fight. ”
"Escorts? Do we have any money? Those people only accept money, and the whole wasteland except for the Virgin Ministry, who can afford their commissions. ”
"The old chief's life and death are uncertain, so you are ready to leave him and run away, and my people and I cannot do such a thing. ”
"You... What's the use of your loyalty here now, counting you fast on the battlefield yesterday. ”
"You fart, I only left after receiving the order to retreat from Ubar, unlike you who are timid and uncertain. ”
"You... You..."
The clan chiefs quarreled and never reached a consensus. Some wanted to withdraw to the Virgin Ministry for the sake of survival, some decided to stick to their positions and face the battle head-on for the sake of honor, and some remained silent and did not express any opinions, so there was a pointless stalemate for a long time.
The scorching sun at noon woke up Mu Chen, who was resting in the tent, and sat on the animal skin with a lot of thoughts after taking a big gulp of water.
"What happened yesterday has disrupted my original plans, and it will take a lot of time and energy to solve these questions, and I am left to stay here alone, and I don't know how long and how long it will take to find the answers. I'm fed up with the loneliness of this wasteland, so I'd better go back to the human continent before making plans. ”
Mu Chen sorted out his thoughts, got up and walked out of the tent, and after walking along the main road for about an hour, the sound of chaotic quarrels came into his ears, so he hid his body and sneaked in the direction of the source of the sound, and not long after, a large number of remnants appeared in front of him.
"Don't make any noise, while the mercenary didn't catch up here, we still had to plan ahead and don't waste any more time. ”
"Vote, the patriarchs are there, and the minority obeys the majority. ”
"Okay, vote, all the clan leaders present must show their hands to vote, and no abstentions are allowed. ”
"Good. ”
After an on-the-spot vote, the majority of the clan chiefs were in favor of retreating to the Beckin Ministry, although there were still minor resignations, but they could not change the outcome.
Mu Chen witnessed the whole process and thought to himself: "I can't let them go, leaving so many people alive, I won't be able to enter and leave the wasteland again in the future." Taking advantage of the clan chiefs' discussion of a retreat plan, he sneaked around behind them, preparing to intercept them at the other end of the camp.
After the news of the retreat was given, the tribes were busy packing their bags, and the hearts were distracted and the guards were loose, and he took the opportunity to cross them smoothly to the entrance and exit at the other end of the camp, hiding behind the sand dunes, waiting for them to fall into the net.
Due to the urgency of time, the clans simply set off with weapons, equipment and food, although the team was large, there was no trace of life, and most of the people were dejected and sighed.
At the forefront was the first clan chief to propose to retreat, and as he walked, he instilled in the clansmen next to him how correct his decision was, and also talked about the joint Bertin counteroffensive and other topics, and talked eloquently, without showing the appearance of failure and escape.
Just as they were about to reach the entrance, Mu Chen appeared from behind the sand dunes, and the retreating people were first shocked, then chaotic. Those who still have the courage to resist rush towards him wave by wave, and those who lose the will to fight will either stay put, give up resistance, or turn around and flee in embarrassment.
The whole battle lasted for more than an hour, and the scene was horrible, with corpses, blood mist, and scattered suits. Mu Chen's body was covered in blood and shuttled between the corpses, giving the final blow to the enemies who still had their breath left, alleviating their pain.
After inspecting the battlefield, he did not stop, but walked along the main passage towards the interior of the camp, looking for the fleeing men, he did not want to, could not let them go, the only rule that needed to be followed in the past few years of life in the wasteland was that the fewer people remembered him, the safer.
He summons griffons and hellhounds, one in the sky and one on the ground with a keen sense of smell, while he follows and solves the target he finds.
Arriving in the middle of the camp, a pack of red-maned Steppenwolves attacked him and the Cerberus, and in order to protect the Cerberus, he quickly shot them all with a one-handed shortbow.
Mounts are different from summoned beasts, once the monster is subdued and becomes a mount, it will change in nature, except for a large increase in foot strength, the rest of the abilities are no different from ordinary beasts, basically losing the attack power of the original level, and it takes a long time to be injured or killed to re-summon. Once the summoned beast is subdued, all its abilities are intensified, which is much stronger than the Warcraft stage, but it must obey the summoning master, lose its freedom, and will not be reborn after death.
"Why are there only summoned beasts, where is the master?" Mu Chen thought at the same time, two huge cyclops appeared in front of him, twice the size of the pure moon cyclops, holding maces in their hands, and the camp shook with their slow and dull footsteps.
"This is a giant cyclops of the high-level barren layer, isn't it... He summoned Cerberus, swapped out his longbow, and pulled the strings to prepare for a strong blow.
The two giant cyclops stopped as they approached the corpses of the wolves, dodging left and right, and a female summoner appeared, walking up to the corpse and looking down.
Mu Chen was stunned for a moment, withdrew the full bowstring, and carefully looked at the female summoner, she had delicate facial features, a delicate face, fair skin, a height of about one meter seventy-five, a bumpy figure, long silver hair hanging down to her waist, and a simple ponytail. He wears a short gray-black striped fur tight-fitting skirt with bare arms, knee-length skirts, and low-top bone boots of the same color on her feet. In his right hand, he held a short metal staff with a dragon pattern carved on its tail and an angular blue spirit stone the size of a duck's egg inlaid on the top.
"You killed it?" The female summoner looked up at Mu Chen, without any expression on her face.
"You... You see—" Mu Chen hesitated, but didn't say anything.
"Kill him. The female summoner didn't continue to ask, and turned to the giant cyclops to give orders.
The cyclops picked up his mace and rushed towards Mu Chen, he shot while jumping backwards, although all of them hit, the injuries were not serious.
"Skeletron, Legion of Skeletons. "A powerful summoner doesn't need to chant the summoning oath in its entirety, the female summoner dictated the summoning words briefly, and the originally spacious camp was instantly filled with skeleton soldiers.
Skeletron is slightly larger than the average skeleton soldier, about two meters and a half tall, wearing a golden crown, inlaid with red gems on the front, a purple silk cloak covering the white bones of the body, holding a metal staff in his left hand, a purple magic ball with a diameter of twenty centimeters embedded in the top of the staff, and a broad-bladed sword in his right hand, decorated with green gems on the hilt. Skeletron can cast magic, and can fight in close combat, in the wasteland is a difficult to challenge high-level barren layer leader-level demonic beast, the territory is in the white bone mound, Mu Chen has dealt with it several times in order to make a longbow. The Skeleton Legion is usually accompanied by it, except for holding various weapons, there is not a single outfit on its body, and the Bone Legion looks magnificent.
"I've never seen a summoner who can subdue Skeletron, she must be a high-level barren layer, but among the twelve guards of the Boundary Atlas Department, how come I don't have any impression of her, and she looks too similar..."
"Rain of arrows. With himself as the center, Mu Chen cast a rain of arrows covering an area of about seven or eight meters, and dense arrows fell from the sky to form a barrier, and the summoned beasts that were attacking him had to stop and keep their distance.
"Wait, wait, I have a few questions for you. Mu Chen shouted loudly.
"Get out of the way. The skeletons retreated left and right, and the female summoner walked slowly.
"Tell them not to move, I have a question for you. The summoner did as he had said, and reached out to signal Skeletron and the Cyclops standing behind her to stop.
"Are you from the Boundary Map Department? How come I don't have any impression of you among the twelve guards, has it become thirteen in the past two years?"
"No, from the Chako. ”
"I've been to the Chake Department too, why haven't I seen you, I definitely remember the summoner who was able to subdue Skeletron. ”
"Stop talking nonsense and pay for my wolves. With that, the female summoner raised her hand and prepared to attack.
"Wait, wait, I haven't finished asking yet, what are you doing here?" Mu Chen hurriedly stopped, smiling.
"Find someone. ”
"Who are you looking for, maybe I know. ”
"It's a waste of my time to talk to you, kill him. The Legion of Skeletons and the Cyclops swarmed up.
"Jabek Chunyue, you're here to find Chunyue. ”
"Stop... Stop it. The female summoner was startled and hurriedly ordered.
"How do you know her, and where is she?" she spoke faster and more anxiously.
"Hehe, tell me first what is your relationship with her, what are you doing with her?" Mu Chen pulled the Skeleton King who was blocking him with his hand, raised his eyes contemptuously and told it to get out of the way.
"I'm her sister, tell me where she is, or I'll kill you right away. ”
"I'll just say why do you look so similar, it turns out to be sisters, what is your name. ”
"Jabek Jiayue. ”
"Jabek Jiayue, you get them all back first, and I'll explain to you slowly. ”
Mu Chen didn't expect to meet Chunyue's sister here, and was ready to tell her everything about his experience before he and Chunyue separated, but he didn't know that the black dragon had disappeared after being attacked, and Chunyue was lost in the border mountains.
