Three years of life in the wasteland have made Mu Chen experience too many cruel scenes, this place with poor resources and rampant monsters, the law of the jungle seems to be the only standard of survival, especially the innate hatred and ruthless attitude of the wasteland people towards outsiders, which makes Mu Chen extremely ruthless and even cruel when facing them. Between the knife and the fish, he was forced to choose the knife warrior, only in this way can he survive and pursue the ideal in his heart.

When he first fought against the Boundary Atlas, although he did his best, he never had the intention of killing. He understands that in the eyes of the other party he is an outsider, an intruder, they don't know what your purpose is, and for their own safety, it may be the most correct way to eliminate you. But as time goes on, all the wastelanders have this attitude, whether you have good intentions or not, as long as you come into contact with it, it is your life-and-death battle, and there is no second option. He tried almost everything to express that he didn't want to fight, but failed. Facing this situation for a long time, he can only choose to do his best, strength is the premise of everything, kindness and pity are the most ridiculous emotions here.

Mu Chen stood next to the head of the clan chief, looked at the bloodstained bowstring, and shook it hard, and the blood droplets sprinkled on the hot sand quickly solidified. After a few strokes of the bowstring, he walked towards the depths of the camp without looking back, shuttling between the corpses, calmly.

The boundary between the wasteland and the human continent is very clear, the border line is full of green on the human side, with trees, grass, flowers, and ponds, while the other side of the wasteland is only golden, either the dry and hot Gobi, or the rolling sand dunes, green is the most luxurious color of the entire wasteland, and it is also the color that the people living there yearn for the most.

In order to avoid direct conflict, both sides tacitly agreed to take the border line as the central line, each retreating ten kilometers, leaving this part of the area as a buffer zone, and there is no garrison on the side of the human continent, only a few villages are located there, occasionally monitoring the movements of the Wasteland Warcraft. The Wasteland side is guarded by the Boundary Map Department, and no outsiders are allowed to enter.

The buffer zone is surrounded by undulating mountains, which are perennially resistant to wind and sand, steep cliffs abound, towering summits surrounded by lightning and thunder, thin air and harsh conditions that are almost impossible to climb. The mountains form a natural barrier, with only a gap in the middle, a few kilometers wide, which is the main passage connecting the wasteland and the human continent.

Although there are several rugged mountain paths in the mountains that can lead to the wasteland, almost all of them are at high altitudes, the air is thin, the terrain is steep, the monsters are rampant, and the exit from the other side of the mountain is regularly patrolled by patrols from the Boundary Map Department, and it is not easy to get through.

The camp of the Boundary Map Department is located on the main passage in and out of the wasteland, and because the passage is relatively wide, the camp tents are also relatively scattered, and they are distributed in an east-west direction by clan.

Mu Chen knew the terrain of the border very well, and he also knew the general layout of the camp of the Boundary Map Department, after the battle just now, the news should have also been conveyed to the central tent of the camp, and the reinforcement team would arrive soon, and then it would no longer be a small-scale counterattack, and a big battle was coming.

The troops who reported the news in a panic and the patrol at the gate were intercepted by a group of cavalry who were coming, and the leader got off the horse, grabbed the sentry by the collar, and asked anxiously: "What's wrong ahead, such a big movement, is it a demonic beast attacking?"

"It's not a monster, it doesn't look like a wastelander, it may be a mercenary, the sentry is fighting, hurry up and send reinforcements. ”

"The sentry post, the sentry post has already fallen, our clan is blocking the enemy, but the other party is too strong, the battle situation is not optimistic, I am back to find reinforcements, you get out of the way." The attacked clan warrior hurriedly stepped forward and shouted loudly.

"Quick, quick, go and report to the chief, the clan stationed in the northeast has been wiped out, the clan chief has been killed in battle, and the invaders have entered the camp. The tribes that had survived the battlefield caught up with them, slumping to the ground and shouting out of breath.

"Mercenary, do you see clearly?" the knight let go of the sentry's collar and strode towards the survivors.

"It should be a mercenary, he said that his name is Mu Chen, he came from the inland of the wasteland, broke through the northern sentry post and fought with our clan, when I ran back, he had already wiped out more than 200 people of our clan, he should be coming here at this time, hurry up, you hurry back... You... You are Jerg. As he was explaining, he looked up and saw the knight in front of him, who was none other than the high-level barren layer paladin Yerg of the Boundary Map Department.

The Boundary Map Department has the largest number of high-level desolate layer talents among the three major tribes, and it is also the strongest in terms of comprehensive combat power, with a total of twelve, and Yerg is one of them. Usually they were stationed around the central tent, next to the leader, but today they happened to go out on patrol, and they hurried to hear the explosion caused by magic, and happened to run into them.

"Mu Chen, are you sure that he is a mercenary, how could a mercenary appear behind us, how could a mere mercenary kill more than two hundred warriors of our clan, are you lying?"

"Go to the tribes and tell the news, gather all the clans in the vicinity, and prepare to defend against the invasion. You go to the Central Tent and inform Ubar and tell him that I will deal with this mercenary, and that the humans may take action by sending more men to patrol the mountain paths and strengthen the guard at the entrance to the main road. If a person attacks us from behind, there must be a conspiracy to monitor every move of human beings, and fight back at the slightest mistake. He gave an account of his cavalry and the people who had come back to report the news, and then turned and mounted his horse, and ran towards the rear of the camp.

"Since Yerg has participated in the war, the mercenary will definitely die, now it is necessary to guard against the sneak attack of the human beings, guard the entrances and exits, and let's hurry up and act separately. The cavalry turned their horses and ran toward the central tent.

Mu Chen walked through the corpses and walked along the road towards the interior of the camp, the tents around him were empty, everyone was killed in battle, and through the windswept curtains, he could still see the steaming pots and food ready to cook in the tents.

"The lives of these wasteland people are not much different from ordinary humans, but unfortunately they are inherently hostile here, and they cannot coexist. Thinking so in his heart, he sighed helplessly.

Not far away, the yellow sand was flying, the sound of horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and Yerg was galloping towards him. Mu Chen squinted to determine the distance, stepped forward with his left foot, bent his right leg slightly, drew his bow with both hands, and sped out at Yerg with a strong blow.

Yerg did not expect this arrow, hurriedly lowered his head to dodge, his body was close to the horse's back, the arrow passed his left shoulder, just about to get up, the second arrow whistled, he was not in a hurry, the shoulder was shot, fell from the horse's back, rolled a few meters and then got up and stopped, drew the sword at his waist, and put on a defensive posture.

"Twelve guards, I said how can you dodge our two arrows, just you, I advise you to wait until all twelve are together before you do it. Mu Chen stopped and looked at him more than twenty meters away from Yerge.

The Yerg man was tall and strong, wearing a white metal armor from head to toe, only his face was exposed, his injured left shoulder was bleeding from the crack in the armor, and his hands were holding a one-meter-two long sword at Mu Chen.

"Who are you, how do you know that I am the twelve guards, and I don't need all twelve of us to deal with you, so it's your luck. Yerg held the sword in his left hand, grabbed the arrow shaft on his left shoulder with his right hand, and pulled it out and threw it in front of Mu Chen.

The advanced desolate layer is the highest level known in this world, and the twelve guards of the Boundary Map Department are all high-level desolate layers, and their combat power in the wasteland is amazing, almost everyone knows it, although the Warcraft also has this level, but it is not worth mentioning compared to them, whether it is combat skills or experience, it is not on the same level.

"My name is Mu Chen, and I used to meet you, but you should have forgotten that your leader may still remember me. ”

"Mu Chen, I haven't seen you, and it's impossible for our leader to know you. Don't distract me by saying something inconsequential, are you Zhang Wuyang's person, he is the only one who can hurt me by your mercenaries, where is he, do you want to sneak attack?"

"You still know Zhang Wuyang, how is he, he has also come to the wasteland?"

"It seems that you do know him, and say, what is your purpose? You go around the back alone to attract our attention, to distract our forces, in order to let him attack from the front, is that so? I have seen through it, and I will not give you a chance. Yerg spoke to himself, as if he had mastered the situation.

There is a basis for him to say this, the mercenary Zhang Wuyang does come to the wasteland from time to time, and sometimes he also accompanies everyone, but he has always challenged head-on from the Boundary Map Department, and has never gone around to the rear, so in his eyes, Mu Chen is just a strange soldier, and he is the leader of Zhang Wuyang's large-scale attack on the Boundary Map Department.

"Just me, although I don't know what you're talking about, but you are wrong, just me, it has nothing to do with Zhang Wuyang, you just need to deal with me, no one else will attack your tribe except me. ”

"Whether it's you alone or not, I'm here in Yerg, and no one wants to take another step. After speaking, he raised his sword and rushed towards Mu Chen.

Due to the short distance, Yerg instantly came to Mu Chen's body about five meters in front of him, Mu Chen quickly responded to five arrows in a row, but he used the big sword as a shield in front of him, and the arrows shot clanged on the sword's body, and all of them were bounced away. Followed by him from defense to attack, striding out and stabbing Mu Chen, Mu Chen dodged to the right while pulling the bow and shooting at his leg, because he leaned forward and stabbed too violently, he couldn't adjust his position in time, and could only watch his right leg hit by an arrow.

After being hit by the arrow, Yerg did not flinch, turned around and pushed the big sword directly towards Mu Chen, Mu Chen had to block it with a bow, and relied on his strength to resist the other party. After a few seconds of stalemate, he suddenly turned around, moved quickly, spun around Jerg's right side, circled behind him, and pulled his bow to hit his left leg.

Suddenly losing resistance in the struggle, Yerg staggered a few steps and almost fell, but he adjusted his posture and rushed forward again, completely unconcerned about his injured legs. Although he was brave and fearless, his constant switching between attack and defense and rapid movement caused the wound to bleed non-stop, and his physical strength decreased significantly, and he was panting and sweating profusely in the next few rounds, and his movements became sluggish and slightly tired.

Mu Chen grabbed the gap of his move, and injured his left and right arms, although there were four arrows stuck in his body, blood flowing all over the armor, he still did not flinch, and continued to fight back without stopping. Mu Chen didn't delay any longer, and jumped back a few steps in a row to widen the distance.

"That's it, I admire you as a warrior, worthy of the name of your twelve guards, and I'll give you a good time now. ”

Yerg gasped, his slightly trembling hands clenching his broadsword in a defensive posture.

Mu Chen drew his bow and fired a powerful blow, and the arrow pierced Yerge's chest, and blood splattered everywhere. He stumbled on the spot, almost collapsed, struggled to stand, pressed the hilt of his sword against his chest, looked at Mu Chen in front of him, and said intermittently: "With you... The battle was pleasant, thanks... Thank. With that, his hands hung down, and his body leaned on the hilt of the sword inserted into the sand, and he lost his breath.
